>> announcer: this is "new day" with chris cuomo, kate bolduan and michaela pereira. good morning, welcome to "new day." it's wednesday, june 18th. 6:00 in the east. now, nearly two the alleged mastermind is in u.s. custody. we have new details this morning on where ahmed abu khatallah is being held and new allegations from the u.s. that he may have been planning more attacks. >> four americans, including ambassador chris stevens, died in the benghazi attack. it happened during hillary clinton's tenure as secretary of state, and during cnn's town hall with clinton last night, she spoke about the lingering controversy. >> there are answers, not all of them, not enough frankly. i'm still looking for answers because it was a confusing and difficult time, but i would hope that every american would understand, number one, why we were there, because we need to

be in dangerous places, and, number two, that we're doing the best we can to find out what happened. >> we have complete coverage beginning with pentagon correspondent barbara starr. barbara, tell us more about what we're learning about the capture of khatallah. >> reporter: good morning, kate. u.n. ambassador smith samantha pour says khatallah may have been planning more attacks against americans, that being report by the reuters organization, but the u.s. now has its hands on him. ahmed abu khatallah was lured to a location south of benghazi, u.s. officials from multiple agencies tell cnn. army delta force commandos, fbi and intelligence agencies were watching and waiting for days. khatallah, a key operative in ansar al sharia, the group played for the 2012 attack on the u.s. compound in benghazi.

intelligence gleaned from local libyans helped draw khatallah to the location. u.s. commandos captured him with no shots fired, no one getting hurt. a surprising feat, one former libyan official tells cnn, because khatallah usually surrounded himself with guards. u.s. commandos whisked him to a navy ship in the mediterranean to begin undergoing questioning for his role in the attack and anything else he knows about terrorist activity. officially the pentagon will say little. >> i'm not going to get into specifics on the actual execution of the operation. >> reporter: president obama touted the capture. >> it's important for us to send a message to the world that when americans are attacked, no matter how long it takes, we will find those responsible and we will bring them to justice. >> reporter: some wonder why it took so long when journalists like cnn's arwa damon were able to find and talk to call thia more than a year ago.

>> we met with ahmed abu khatallah in public at the coffee shop of a well-known hotel here in benghazi for around two hours. he seemed to be confident, his demeanor most certainly not that of a man who believed he would be detained or targeted any time soon. >> reporter: so how could cnn get to call thia and it took u.s. commandos over a year to find him? >> in order to do this safely, effectively and efficiently, an nobody got hurt, by the way, that takes time to plan. it takes a lot of information-gathering, and we did this in a very stealthy way. >> reporter: so who were the commandos that got khatallah. they come from one of the most secretive organizations in the u.s. military, a group called a joint special operations command, the same group, the same men that walked up to the taliban to get bowe bergdahl, some of the same group that went into laded will's compound. chris in. >> barbara, thank you very much. very interesting reporting on how this actually went down.

let's get some more information here from lieutenant colonel rick francona, former military officer to the u.s. consulate in baghdad. good to have you with us this morning. military and fbi working together. the first question, let's just deal with the obvious. who is this man? when we sao khatallah, what do we know? >> he's a libyan national and grew up in the benghazi area and radicalized at a young age, spent ten years in this infamous abu salim prison, ten years, a long time to spent in this gadhafi jail. he was too radical even for gadhafi. >> what is the logical rationale for him being an insurgent of libyan proportion and maybe seeing the u.s. as an enemy. >> the u.s. came into benghazi which he regarded as a backyard and when he saw that these were

foreigners coming into his area and provided a target of opportunity. the british had already left and other western countries had already left. the united states was the only western power there, the only real target he could access easily. >> best new information on where he is that they believe he may already be in u.s. custody on a ship. tell us about that. >> i think that's probably the most rational explanation because what you want to do is get ahold of this i go and get him out of there as fast as you can. get him somewhere where you control everything. of course, the best place to do that is on a u.s. navy ship right off the coast. >> "uss new york" is there, that's what we're told. >> an amphibious ship with all the capabilities to hold anybody and also has about 500 marines on it. >> two big questions, got a positive and negative here. let's start with the positive. what's happening on that ship? what can you do there in. >> he's in u.s. custody being interrogated. they will call it interviewed.

>> intelligence interview. >> probably the fbi. they have a high value interrogation group that's got everybody there. intelligence people, special ops people and the fbi will take the lead and now this is a law enforcement issue. >> so this isn't about war or battlefield type tactics, this isn't waterboarding and torture. you believe this is more criminal case procedure. >> this will be done by the book and i'm sure it will all be videotaped done exactly as the fbi does everything else. they are building a case. this has to be presented to a u.s. judge. >> so that degree of detail feeds in the other big question which ear hearing which is why did it take so long. if a reporter is able to meet and speak with him, why did it take you so long? >> the answer is arwa works did a great job in that interview, and i listened to it. you know, he was being condescending and full of himself. he controlled the environment. when you go in to get him, you

have to control the environment. you have to have the intelligence, know where he is, who he is and what kind of -- >> are we celebrating with a little bit of hollywood romanticism to think we can go in and just get somebody? >> you have to go in and take someone against their will and try to do it without killing anybody, especially local civilians or local police. this could turn into a very ugly gun fight and they were able to pull it off with no shots fired. >> is it you are position that cnn was able to find someone that the u.s. didn't know where they were, but it was about how they had to get him and what kind of case they had to have set up before they did that created the delay? >> yeah, exactly. >> they probably knew where he was a lot of the time. you have to build a profile of where he's going to be so you can predict where he's going to be. they actually lured him to a location. you need someone on the ground willing to do that. after 9/11 we lost all of our intelligence assets in the

benghazi area. it took a long time to rebuild those. >> you can't just snatch them. you have to deep them. if you don't have the case then you can be in trouble? that's where the fbi came in. they build cases. >> we'll learn more about him as they start bringing him on a long slow ride. >> hopefully they will get information from him on that trip. >> certainly will have time. keeping him on the ship, not flying, they will have a lot of time. >> can they lawyer up, is he under arrest? >> as soon as he says can i go and they say no it might trigger rights. kate, over to you. >> as we mentioned, benghazi attack occurred on hillary clinton's watch as secretary of state. during cnn's town hall clinton said that she was very pleased with the arrest, the capture of the suspected ring leader. brianna keilar is watching that part of the story. you were there during the town hall. talked about a lot of hard choices. what does she say about this? >> this was a fascinating part

of the evening, kate, and this is why. in her new book which she is rolling out she is very clear that the way that she sees benghazi is isn't in a political light and she doesn't want to engage in a political fight on the backs of dead americans. last night she toned it down saying there's still a lot we don't know and she says she is still looking for answers. hillary clinton gave her first reaction to the capture of the mastermind of the attack in benghazi, ahmed abu khatallah, by u.s. forces. >> i'm very pleased. the united states has an unwavering commitment to bring to justice those who are responsible for attacks on americans, no matter where they are or how long it takes. earlier on cnn the mother of one victim had demanded more answers. >> i totally relate to her as a mother or to any of the family members of the four americans who were killed that night. i can say why she and others are

inconsolable. >> reporter: clinton took questions from cnn chief international correspondent christiane amanpour at the washington museum promoting her new book "hard choices." clinton was asked about immigration reform and the harsh reality. >> the hororf a father or mother going to work and being picked up and immediately whisked away and children coming home from school to an empty house and nobody can say where their mother or their father, is that is just not who we are as americans. >> reporter: she addressed the violence in iraq, the u.s. withdrawal from afghanistan and the war in syria, highlighting policyrists between her and president obama. >> i recommended that we do more in the very beginning to support moderate opposition. >> reporter: but -- >> the buck stops with the president, and the president had very legitimate concerns. >> reporter: on tumbler one person asked for a more definitive marriage equality answer. >> my views have changed over

time. it really became very clear to me that if we're going to support marriage in our country, it should be available to everyone, regardless of who they love. >> reporter: on reinstating the assault weapons ban. >> we cannot let a minority of people, and that's what it is, it is a minority of people, hold a viewpoint that terrorizes the majority of people. >> reporter: and there was a little humor on marijuana. >> i didn't do it when i was young. i'm not going to start now. >> reporter: and on the hard choice between being a grandmother or being president, clinton could not resist. >> there have been a lot of grandfathers who have done it. >> reporter: now a source at simon & shuster talking about book sales, of course, because this is a book tour, all about rolling out her message as well. 100,000 books, we are told, that includes through retailers as well as e-books. we expect today that hillary clinton's new book will debut as number one on the "new york

times" best-seller list. the question, michaela is, how long will it stay there, long enough to justify the $14 million advance and to really show that americans are engaged in her message? we'll have to see. >> remains to be seen. brianna, thanks so much for a look at that. let's take a look at more of your head loins at 12 minutes past the hour. in a few hours time the house foreign affairs committee convenes a hearing on the swath of army sergeant bowe bergdahl for five senior taliban prisoners and for its implications for u.s. national security. bergdahl is recovering at a military hospital in texas. his reintegration team is gradually exposing him to the media coverage that surrounds him. >> breaking overnight, convicted rapist and murderer in georgia became the first extricaecuted weeks and another man, john winfield, was executed in

missouri by, both by lethal injections which have been put on hold since a botched execution back in april. gm chief mary bar rah is back on capitol hill to testify about the faulty ignition switch. gm knew of the problem for over a decade before issuing a recall in february. the automaker recalled some 20 million vehicles in 2014 alone. dramatic crash caught on cameras -- on a kansas highway. >> holy [ bleep ]? >> end over end, suv going up and over in the air. the person shooting the video noticed the jeep kind of driving erratically and called police. the suv driver was the only one hurt in that crash, and what's remarkable is injuries are not considered life-threatening.

>> do they think -- >> was the other car moving. >> no, on the side of the road. >> do you think he tried to jump it like a ramp? >> police are investigating right now to determine if the driver was somehow impaired. >> right, right. >> if they didn't see the car. if there was some sort of impairment. >> it looks like it was trawling some sort of trailer and had a ramp behind it and was certainly on the shoulder. >> right. >> so that car veered over on it. >> that's why they are looking into the state of the driver. >> unbelievable. >> yeah, kind of crazy. speaking of kind of crazy, the dangerous weather hitting the midwest and it hit again overnight. twisters and funnel clouds spotted a day after twin tornadoes devastated parts of nebraska. this morning devastating downpours and floods are threatening people in the region. gone from bad to worse. indra petersons reporting live

from the area. >> reporter: a lot of damage here is in a field. you can actually see trees completely snapped in half and the bark completely stripped off of them but even a lot of farm equipment flipped over. out in the distance, hard to see, but we have a tractor that looks like it's thrown in the tree. preliminary reports those that this was an ef-3 tornado and that was an ef-4 tornado and the concern on everyone's mind this morning is that more severe weather has affected these areas again today. residents of nebraska hit by another round of wicked weather. >> yeah, i turned around. >> reporter: storm chasers capturing one of three possible tornadoes ripping through cherry county nebraska and dropping tennis ball-sized hail on the ground below. another immense twister caught on the ground in coleridge and

the sound of the wind deafening. >> oh, gosh. >> reporter: one day after twin tornadoes, massive and both violent, ripped through the state. >> ripping up a whole town. >> reporter: obliterating practically everything in its path. this powerful storm system reached beyond nebraska. harsh thunderstorms spawned several twisters that pummeled wisconsin in corona and platteville. major flooding leaving parts of iowa underwater with roads and homes completely submerged. it was the same sight across parts of minnesota and south dakota. heavy rainfall caused substantial flooding in rivers and lakes, damaging homes, cars and businesses. >> we tried to get things as hoyas we could, but when the water came, it came fast. first there was an inch and all of a sudden there was a foot and then waist deep. >> reporter: many houses surrounded by sandbags up to four feet high and residents able to reach their house only by boat. >> no matter what happens here

we still have each other and no matter what we lose we'll still be together. >> reporter: the last thing anyone wants to hear is that more severe weather is expected today. unfortunately, that's the case, storm system stretching from montana all the way to the northeast. that means 66 million people today are under the gun for severe weather. you can see all the instability out there, even right now. even the northeast seeing some of the light showers and that's only one part of the equation that weather will be out there and also a threat for a heat advisory in philadelphia. feeling what i'm feeling out here right now. hot muggy weather in philadelphia looking for weather that is up in the 90s. as residents in pilger are trying to return home today with volunteers and the threat that another storm could impact the region today is the last thing they want to hear. >> exactly right. indra, thanks so much for that. coming up on "new day," we know what is happening in iraq. what will the u.s. do?

battle for baghdad looming, air strikes even more? boots on the ground back on table? we'll give you more. >> and dick cheney with a blistering attack against president obama. what cheney says about the president's handling of the iraq crisis. when folks think about what they get from alaska,

they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.

>> welcome back to "new day." politicians are pointing fingers and revising the history of how we got there in iraq, but at least the president will meet with congressional leaders today to figure out what to do about the raging violence there. this morning the sunni militant group isis 13 miles from baghdad attacking the city of baqubah. now they are finally getting resistance from iraqi military and tribal fires who are insistent on taking a stand. will that change the fate of the country? starting with senior international correspondent nic robertson in baghdad. nic, what's the latest? >> reporter: the fighting still goes on. we understand in baqubah last night that the state media was saying that the government still controls various parts of that. that said, we cannot independently independently.

in the morning. the isis militants had killed 44 prisoners by throwing grenades at them. that turned out to be government propaganda but it was in fact government security forces of police who shot the prisoners and isis was trying to get in to release them. it was the shiia guards killing the sunni prisoners. there's also reports of gun battles goes on around the oil refinery. iraq's largest oil refinery that produces 40% of the gasoline used by cars in this country. a very significant piece of infrastructure. we're expecting a statement by prime minister nuri al maliki, his weekly address. people will be looking to see if he will make any political concessions. none of that seems to have been on the table so far. at the moment isis backed by the sunni tribes is fighting an increasingly sectarian battle with iraqi security forces who are increasing ly bumped up by

shiia militias. >> so many moving parts on the ground. we'll be back with you throughout the show. as we mentioned, president obama will meet with top congressional leaders today to discuss options for the u.s. handling of iraq. there are conflicting reports this morning about what he is considering. "wall street journal" reporting that he's decided against air strikes, at least for now, and the "new york times" reports selective strikes are possible. that is a distinction without a difference. we'll talk about it throughout show. one thing is certain. more american firepower and manpower have moved into the region. white house correspondent michelle kosinski is tracking all the details for us this morning. mish sale, what's the latest. >> reporter: after all that fallout surrounding the release of bowe bergdahl obviously this administration wants to involve congress this time around leading up to a decision. senior administration officials keep telling us no decision has yet been made, that the president and his national security team are weighing options, that those options do include things like air strikes

using special forces to train and advise the iraqis, but the president has also made clear that nothing is being ruled out except for combat boots on the ground. all this seems to have led to some discrepancy in the reporting this morning. mentioned that some have mentioned that the president has decided against air strikes for now and others that he's considering only very targeted drone strikes similar to what we see in the war on terror in yemen. >> that needs to be worked out throughout the morning. obviously we hope today, and before i let you go, michelle, former vice president dick cheney knows something about the iraq war. he addressed president obama's handling of the war in iraq in a totally blistering piece in the "wall street journal" this morning in part writing rarely has a u.s. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many, and he goes on and on to blame the president for turning his back on the situation in iraq. >> reporter: right, it was

scathing, basically accusing president obama of golfing while iraq burned saying iraq is at risk of falling to radical islamic terror group and mr. obama is talking climate change. terrorists taking control of more territory and resources than ever before in history and he goes golfing. he seems unaware or indifferent to the fact that a resurgent al qaeda presents a clear and present danger to the united states of america and takes issue with what he says the president said about al qaeda being decimated and america's enemies being decimated. he says president obama has taken america down a notch and only a fool, he says, would think about involving someone like iran in what's going on in iraq. but remember the president has really only talked about al qaeda leadership being decimated in afghanistan, and this administration has been defending itself, saying the response thus far to iraq has been robust over the past year, steadily increasing military aid to iraq.

chris and kate. >> you can be sure that the white house will likely be asked and likely will be happy to respond to vice president dick cheney a little later this morning. michelle, thanks so much. >> dick cheney, rarely has a u.s. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many when talking about iraq. the administration is going to push back and say which president are you talking about? >> exactly right. >> coming up on "new day," not a candidate, sounds like one and is being treated like one. hillary clinton gets a global platform to take on hard questions about benghazi, what's going to happen in 2016 and a host of other topics at a cnn town hall event. we have analysis from a couple of political experts just ahead.

6:30 in the east. let's give you a look at the headlines. the u.s. has captured the alleged mastermind of the deadly 2012 attack on the u.s. consulate or mission in benghazi. ahmed abu khatallah is being questioned aboard a navy ship and should be in the u.s. within days. president obama says he'll face the full weight of the law. officials say he was nabbed over the weekend with no shots fired in the operation. at least 21 people were killed, dozens more injured after an explosion rocked a world cup viewing center in nigeria. witnesses say the bomb appeared to have been hidden in a motorized rick shaw outside the venue. the press gathered there to watch the match between brazil and mexico on big screen tvs. no group yet has claimed responsibility for the blast, though that area is home to the

islamist militant group boca haaran. new hope to the end of violence in eastern ukraine. the foreign minister is ordering a cease-fire by government troops in an effort to end fighting with russian separatists. this decision after his conversation with vladimir putin and it follows the death of two journalists in ukraine. this is what is called a massive markup, a one-cent stamp back from the 19th century. it has sold for $9.5 million at auction. it is the 1856 british one-cent magenta. the stamp features a ship and the country's motto in latin, we give and in expect return. bet you won't get that on a letter any time soon, the most valuable stamp in the world. >> anyone seen my post-it

magenta. >> sending michaela a thank-you note. >> a little bit of tough sports news. the key to beating portugal for the u.s. men's national team will be defense, and a key to that key seems to have the worst kind of ouch for a soccer player. let's bring in joe carter who has more on the status of jozy altidore in this morning's bleacher report. we saw him grabbing his hammy, the worst thing you want to see for a soccer player. what do we know? didn't look good, chris, here's the thing. we hope that he plays, but if he does not play on sunday, some likely fill-ins, aron johansson, they call him ice man, went in for altidore against ghana and then chris wondolowski. he plays for san jose in the mls, one of the top scorers in mls, and then you have the wild card. i mean, jurgen klinsmann can go with julien green, the 19-year-old. he's the guy who believe took the roster spot from landon donovan. interesting to see how jurgen

klinsmann handles this. the coach is usually known to keep his cards close to his vest. altidore had the mri yesterday. the results have not been made available, not a surprise. we fully expect jurgen klinsmann will keep the bill belichick card here and keep his injury status a secret as long as possible, obviously playing mind games with the upcoming opponent portugal. the team's captain, clint dempsey, who broke his nose in the ghana game. he's a go for sunday. he played all 90 minute last game, but this time he may be sporting a lebron-esque protective mask. see how that affects him. sunday, can't say it enough, is a huge, huge game for the u.s. men. now a win against portugal assures that we'll advance to the knockout round. we can still actually draw with portugal and that will keep us in portugal to advance and could have a tie but obviously we want to win. since the miami heat lost to the

spurs in the nba finals, the question for lebron is will you stay or will you go for the big three who all have contract options this summer. each one can walk away from their contract in miami and go get a deal somewhere else or they can stay. lebron said yesterday he's planning on taking a vacation with his family and during that time he'll think things over. the big three are set to make $20 million each. there are three players, three other contract players, already over the cap with those players so if the big three want to stay and add another good guy and they seem to need they will need to take a pay cut and take the next big money to the next player. >> does altidore stay and do the big three play? >> altidore does not play. you keep him out because you have other talented players that can keep his spot and, no, the big three break up. >> no, my goodness. there you go. you got it straight from joe. thanks, joe. >> take care, guys. >> all right. see you soon. >> coming up next on "new day,"

marijuana, but one focal point that has many people talking this morning is her response to comments. let's bring in margaret hoover, republican consultant and cnn commentator and the former policy director for hillary clinton presidential campaign in 2008. good morning to both of you. we both watched this town hall, margaret. what did you learn from hillary clinton? >> i think any of us learned a whole lot. >> why not? >> hillary clinton is not officially running for president right now. this is a book tour. here she is talking about details of a book that everybody can read and really expounding on them but in the least controversial way possible, so this wasn't -- >> she didn't move further than the book. >> no, of course she didn't, nor should she or would she. if you're hillary clinton you're

using this book tour as really an opening to tour the country, talk to americans, maybe test your own viability for a run. do you have the fire in the bell toe run again and how do people respond to her and her book. this is sort of a soft campaign. why is she going to step into controversy? >> have you ever heard of someone getting this type of platform, because this is just the latest, a worldwide forum to discuss whatever it is with people around the world. what is your take on this? >> well, it's unprecedented, but she's also an unprecedented phenomenon. the first lady of the united states, a senator from one of the largest states in the country for eight years and then the secretary of state. she is -- and the first woman potentially to run for president for a second time. i mean, that's unprecedented. >> go now. >> i mean, i disagree with margaret in that i think people

heard her talk about issues like marriage equality, she was asked about voting rights, medical marijuana. she was asked questions she hasn't really talked about in detail and a lot of people haven't heard her so i thought it was -- i thought she did a great job and i think people are really interested in what she has to say in part because she hasn't been talking about domestic issues over the last few years and she has a lot to say about it. >> she's going to be asked -- one thing she will be asked about over and over again, whether she runs or not to be quite honest, is the issue of benghazi. here's a little bit of what she said about the benghazi attack. >> there are answers, not all of them. not enough frankly. i'm still looking for answers because it was a confusing and difficult time, but i would hope that every american was there because we need to be in dangerous places and, number two, we're doing the best we can to find out what happened. >> she says i'm still looking

for answers. margaret, her answer, the capture of khatallah, does that quiet the criticism coming from republicans? >> i think of course it doesn't and here's why. there's still a question, and i'm not one of these who piles on with the benghazi theory, but there is still a question why that embassy didn't have security that it had requested, and is that the secretary of state's responsibility, which it is clearly her responsibility, though she says it didn't come to her. it wasn't her choice. she never saw the requests for more security. i mean, there is this lack of accountability, even though she's taken full accountability. somehow something is missing and there are still i think legitimate questions that should be raised that aren't partisan in nature but that simply fall -- >> but the partisan fight is why has it been two years and we haven't brought anyone to justice? today that takes a little bit of wind out of their sails. >> absolutely, and thank goodness we finally captured

someone. makes you wonder a little bit why it took two years when the media has been interviewing this guy for about 18 months. >> i was saying that, but they have convinced these guys -- >> different getting an interview than an investigation. >> rick frankno knows how the cases are on, we had a guy who worked in terrorism, because god forbid if you get him and don't have your case ready. >> he might have disappeared while we were building a case. >> you didn't know know you didn't have eyes on him. it seems to me that hillary is giving all the right types of answers would you give as a candidate. she's parsing and is careful and understands balance, but i don't hear her making the case for why she should be a candidate, what her message is, what her dib would be. why is that? why is that disconnect still in play? >> because she's not a candidate so if she runs, she will tell us why she wants to be president and why she should be president. i think --

>> she sure is treating this book tour like she's a canned day. everything but a candidate in name, let's be honest. >> also doing a lot to get the book out there. i mean, that's what's happening in this book tour, and i actually think when, you know -- if she runs, then she will have a great opportunity to answer every question about why she's running and why she would make a good president but i want to remind everybody it's 2014. we have a few elections. >> don't remind us. remind her. >> you're the one asking the questions. >> we know what time it is. >> she's the one dangling it in front of us. that's how the media works. >> i think she's offered interviews and begged the interviews so i think the media has a role in all of this. >> the clintons know how to say no. it happens all the time. this question is about whether

she's running or not. >> let's talk about iraq and her response to it. do you think there's any difference between what she is saying and what the administration is saying? blaming maliki for the problem, and as far as i remember she didn't really put any blame on the bush administration. she wasn't stepping into that, definitely not putting any blame on the obama administration for the crisis that's going on right now, but she also said it seems the blame is more on maliki and they were considering many options. she was not about to step out there and give her advice about where she was going. >> didn't put distance between herself and bush because she voted to go into iraq. >> she does say that was one of the biggest mistakes she made. again, we don't need to repeat history here, but the issue that i think is really interesting there's this meme that says it was maliki who didn't want us there in 2011. the bush administration failed to negotiate s.o.f.a. agreements through 2011. they got them through 2011 and got them through 2011 by starting very, very early and

negotiating for years. i mean, many, many, many months, more than a year. the obama administration started negotiating six months before that withdrawal date and that isn't enough time to get it done. >> he won the election because people wanted out of iraq. >> on the face of it it's a true statement. however, it was because iraq was too political for president obama to mettle in early on. he wanted to get out. it was the bad war. >> he won the election because people wanted to get out. >> we did not leave residual forces there which might have avoided the crisis that iraq is in today. >> that is an accurate statement, in fact. however the question is why it is true, so neera, what's your take on that? >> i think the real challenge here is that the maliki government for years, including during the bush presidency, was listening to iran because that's where his power base has been and iran didn't want american

soldiers in iraq, so, i mean, i have to say over the last few days, listening to republican criticism of the president on iraq, i -- i don't put margaret in this category, but listening to vice president cheney, all these people who got us into this war, told us it was going to be's, we're going to be greeted with a bed of roses, it's terrible, terrible foreign policy disaster. even offering advice is really the height of chutzpah, margaret talking substance, but if you look at what people have been saying over the last several days it's really quite incredible since they were so wrong about iraq in so many ways, list ming to them talk about what we should do now is really incredible. why will they be right now when they were so wrong before? >> still plenty to go in that discussion. so margaret, neera, thanks for being with us. to be continued. coming up on "new day," amazon getting into the smart

and welcome back. could another smartphone be tentering the market? online retailer amazon set to unveil its first smartphone. not a lot of information on it but the phone has new technology and could even track users' movements. we bring in our technology analyst bee larson. what do we expect today in seattle? >> i think they are going to unveil a smartphone. it's a tough marketplace to get into right now. it's very dominated by all the androids and then the iphone. microsoft has a challenge ahead of them with their windows phone because it's a crowded space and everyone wants simplicity and wants an app store that has every single thing that they want and we'll have to see what they bring to the table. >> amazon has all the content, right? >> content delivery people. >> so it will make sense. their kindle is incredibly popular as a tablet.

it's very well tied in. you can watch movies on it. >> it's not a phone. >> it's a data device you can watch movies and read on. it's not something this big you'll carry around in your pocket. >> this is an and and not a or, swapping out what you already have which is a tough choice for consumer. >> since most cell phone providers lock you in for two years and most people are under a contract right now. >> and what do you want on there, apps? everybody complains about the apps available. >> i want battery life. >> battery life, and not a glass screen so it doesn't break. this is where microsoft is suffering with the windows phone is their app store isn't robust enough. >> why do you think they are doing it? jeff baizeos, he's a smart guy. >> yeah. >> and he's been very successful

in his ventures. >> he has been. >> what does he know that we don't know. >> even though amazon doesn't make a ton of money, they make money but don't have a lot of profit. i think it's going to be an extension of amazon. it's, you know, the biggest marketplace. you can buy everything on there, and i think if it's an extension of shopping, it's kind of a smart way to go for them. >> it might make more sense than say the facebook phone. >> absolutely. >> that was not -- that was a failed venture and interesting, at&t is said to be the carrier for this. >> exactly. >> at&t was tied to the facebook phone as well. >> which did not sell well. >> wasn't that a problem with the iphone to begin with. >> not exclusive as well. >> kind of had a rocky start there because the network couldn't really handle that influx of these data hungry smartphones and money. what's interesting that i've read about is the prime streaming, this, you know, you pay the $99 here for free shipping and all the other things that amazon prime gives you that you'll be able to stream movies and other amazon content for free to the phone.

that's a bit of a game changer. >> price point? >> it's got to be 250 to 300. >> can i ask you a question, what is exclusively amazon content in. >> movies and things they have through the amazon prime store. >> brett larson, i could talk to you for an hour. >> didn't mention the 3-d gaming. that's big. if it's true on the 3-d gaming, that will ruffle some feathers. >> more information on the amazon smartphone from b. larson, as i like to call him. >> a lot of news this morning for you. isis is bearing down on baghdad. anderson cooper is there to give us the latest. got to be on the ground to tell that story the right way and the alleged mastermind of bengzy is captured. the big question, was he planning another attack? answers ahead. let's get to them. >> a more ruthless occupation that's ever existed. >> you cannot win a battle against radical islamic terrorism if you don't acknowledge the character. >> our special forces were able

to capture an individual ahmed abu khatallah. >> he's allegedly a key figure in the benghazi attacks. >> and urgent humanitarian situation. >> just because your child gets across the border, that doesn't mean the child gets to stay. >> this miracle pill can burn fat fast. >> quote, lightning in a bottle. you know it's not true. >> good morning, welcome back to "new day." happening right now. one of rah iraq's largest oil refineries is under attack by isis militants. iraqi military claims they have prevented isis from taking over the facility but they have left a path of destruction in their wake including fierce gun battles raging in the city of baqubah roughly 40 miles north of baghdad. we're joined now by anderson cooper. he's live and has been live for us on the ground in baghdad with much more. anderson, what are you hearing about these reports on the attack from this oil refinery?

>> reporter: yeah. certainly major development. not really a surprise. it is in an area where isis has been operating quite successfully over the last six days or so. it's the largest oil refinery in baiji. there's a contract there. they got private security contractors, british firm, which british companies use here in iraq to protect themselves. private security contractor said they have been able to evacuate the foreign personnel, the westerners from that refinery just prior to the attack. it's not clear exactly the status of the refinery right now. the iraqi government has said that they were able to resist the attack, but, again, it's very hard to verify statements made by the iraqi government, sometimes they are more clear leading than they are accurate so we'll have to wait and see in that. have to see in the video which purr pots to see the smoke rising. again, very hard to tell what the stat just of the battle is there right now. >> that's one big element of the

story, anderson, but also, yesterday, when we spoke we're talking about tensions very high in baghdad on the ground there. what are you hearing from folks that you've been talking to? >> yeah, look, they certainly are. any time you have this group isis and other sunni militants less than 40 miles from this capital city, you know, that just ratchets tensions up to even more. as you know, there was fighting in baqubah, a city about 37 or so miles from baghdad. that fighting going back and forth. militants said to have taken western parts of baqubah, again, the status of that is unclear right now. there's a lot of rumor and a lot of couldn't debutry statement. very hard to actually get on the ground in a lot of these places. one interesting thing that occurred in baqubah, the iraqi government had said militants had stormed the police station. that seems to be true and it taken weapons. apparently though they wanted to

recapture about 34 sunni prisoners who had been held in that police station. the iraqi government claims that the militants shelled the police station and killed those prisoners, but cnn has been able to confirm from a health official in that town, those prisoners were actually shot at very close range which also then confirms the "new york times" report that those prisoners were actually shot by iraqi police officers prior to evacuating that facility so that those prisoners would not be released and returned to the fight on the side of isis, so a sign perhaps of growing sectarian violence. we've seen that sort of thing here a lot before back in 2006 and 2007, and that's exactly the concern of a lot of observers here that escalating sectarian violence. >> when we heard from nic robertson a little earlier, verifying everything that's

happening on the ground. the iraqi military, they believe that the iraqi military is telling them that they are gaining some ground, they are pushing back the militants in some regard. do you see any evidence of that though on the ground? >> reporter: yeah. i mean, look, as -- as militants have gotten closer to baghdad they are now -- they start to operate in areas which are more shiia areas, areas like mosul, areas up in the north, that's a predominantly sunni town, so it's not all that surprising that shia forces there of the government would have cut and run. it's not all that sprucing there that sunni groups would get support from sunnis in areas like mosul, but as they come closer to the capital of baghdad it's more predominantly shiia, certainly from the north and the city of baghdad itself is more predominantly shiia. more important for the iraqi forces to fight and to defend their own and to defend shiia areas. again, that sectarian divide

really showing up here so there's a lot of confidence. when you go around baghdad, i mean, there's obviously tension and obviously concern, but there's also business as usual. businesses are open. people are going about their jobs for parts of the day, at least, and you talk to young men especially, they are very confident. you know, there's been tens of thousands of volunteers who have signed up to fight, to defend baghdad and other shiia areas, so as they come closer to baghdad even militants are some 37, 40 miles from the city, there's not a sense of panic at all in the capital. >> which is really interesting, and also i think probably shows that dealing with violence and the threat of violence isn't anything new for those who have been living in and around baghdad for years now. anderson on the ground for us, thank you very much. will continue his reporting there in iraq. we'll be getting back to him and can you see more of his reporting, of course, on "a c360" tonight at 8:00 p.m. eastern.

chris? >> this morning the man believed responsible for the deadly attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi is in american hands. his name ahmed abu khatallah, already being grilled aboard a navy ship. expected to be brought stateside soon. suspect was under surveillance for days before commandos made their move. barbara starr is at the pentagon this morning with more reporting for us. barbara, this was military and fbi, right? took two teams. >> indeed, chris, the u.s. military commandos, army delta force commandos with the cooperation and the assistance of fbi law enforcement agents worked this case, and apparently on sunday, sunday evening in libya, they were able to execute the capture of abu khatallah. he was apparently, by all accounts, lured to a location south of benghazi. they had been watching for days his movement, and they moved in very quickly to capture him. we're told not a shot fired, nobody hurt.

with the assistance, we understand, of intelligence developed on the ground from local libyans so this was potentially a very dangerous operation. khatallah, of course, one of the key masterminds the u.s. says behind those 2012 attacks on the u.s. compound in benghazi which set off a political firestorm for the obama administration and now he is being interrogated on board a u.s. navy ship and is expected to be rushed to the united states to face terrorism charges. chris? >> barbara, thank you very much. this man holds three levels of significance so let's get into that with franck townsend, cnn national security analyst and former adviser under the bush administration and also on the, personal advisory boards for the cia and dhs so you should know about this. three levels of significance. what he knows about benghazi, what he knows about bad guys in the area and perhaps most importantly what he knows about what was planned next. let's start with that one because that would be more

pressing. what is the speculation there about future plans that he may have been connected to? >> well, it's interesting, chris, because he did all these press interviews, including with arwa damon and then went very dark. he realized that he was being target targeted and the question is how close to imminent planning did re-remain, right? how many people did he see? if he removed himself to avoid capture he may not have a lot of information about current planning and ongoing attacks. >> we get that they were trying to make the case, but this isn't some garden variety homicide where you want to make sure the bad guy doesn't get away. why did they delay in taking a guy that the media had access to. >> a little different about khatallah being able to meet with arwa damon and other journalists and really put himself out there. understood he was being targeted so he was trying to be very careful. you know, barbara reported that this was done with the help of

libyan intelligence on the ground. what that happens here, the fbi had a. so someone close enough to call thia to be able to predict the movements and so that they can set it up and have a capture that didn't have a shot fired. >> still seems awkward that i'm a couple of phone calls away from the guy, why weren't they, you know, all over? >> you know, talking to military and law enforcement officials, chris, there were plans for this capture and there was some ongoing intelligence over the course of more than the last year and there was some frustration frankly amaning the operators that they couldn't get approval from the policy-makers to attempt this. the reason is that the u.s. policy makers didn't want to do is conduct an operation that could tip the balance of power in libya. they were afraid they didn't want to be responsible if there's political instability. now frankly there ice political instability having nothing to do with the united states inside libya so that timing came together with the opportunity to

capture him, and it all came together, and i think that that really explains it. >> any reason to believe that he had other things in the hopper, that there were other plans? >> sure, look. this is a really bad guy with real responsibility and real operational sort of command ability, and so we ought to assume he did and that's the reason and so important they take their time and take him aboard the navy ship before bringing him back and to the criminal process in theouts. >> what's his affiliation and who is he with? >> the most important thing to get to the bottom of what happened that tragic night in benghazi, who are/co-conspirato are/co-conspirators. >> an al qaeda mob? >> does he know who they are, does he get in touch with them? those are the intelligence leads he can help us develop? >> got him on a u.s. ship, a slow ride back to the u.s. ship, all the tactics you don't like to talk about in interrogation,

or are you really doing it by the book which justified the slow retrieval of him, and if he says i want a lawyer, it's all over? >> basically that's right, chris. i mean, it's the way you describe the second way. have him on a ship. observing the geneva conventions, federal and is sleeping but they are asking him questions. does he have to answer them, no, he doesn't and you can rightfully say he doesn't have to answer them. let's just be clear with our viewers. what they get on the ship they are not looking to use in prosecution. a second team conducting this investigation so this is really for for intelligence persons, he'll face the indictment here in the u.s. and they have that already and they will keep these things very simple. >> there is a sealed indictment so we'll see what happens next. >> you have been clear that you don't believe isis has what it takes to overrun the country, that there's a little bit of

false panic, so there's two fronts. there's what's going on there, and what's going on here about what's going on there, okay? the administration is stymied by fingerpointing right now. for dick cheney to come out with an op ed that says rarely has a president been wrong about so much that has hurt so many, if he's talking about iraq, which president should he be talking about? >> you're not going to draw me into this political bat. i've worked with both republicans and democrats. >> a little surprise that had he wrote it. >> i'll still out. >> won't touch that. >> i'm going to stay out of the food fight. >> you're telling us to hold our horses in saying that iraq is going to be overtaken by isis. you believe they have what it takes to keep security there. >> i believe they have what it talks to hold baghdad. i think it would be tragic if we allowed them, isis, to maintain an islamic state between iran and syria because that really would be a tragic failure of

policy. >> watch the hillary interviews too much, starting to slip my questions. that's the problem with you, fran. you're too smart. >> appreciate it. >> thanks. >> let's take a look at the headlines at ten minutes past the hour. the bowe bergdahl prisoner swap gets another congressional hearing today. the house foreign affairs committee will look at bergdahl's exchange for five senior taliban leaders and the potential impact on national security. the army sergeant is still recovering in an army hospital in san antonio, texas and is being gradually exposed to the media coverage about him. >> breaking overnight, more than 30 people are still missing after a boat capsized off the coast of malaysia. local fishermen and emergency responders were able to pull some 60 people from the water. they have rescued some 60 people. the boat was reportedly carrying undocumented migrant workers to indonesia. malaysian officials dispatched officials to the area and being

hampered, we're told, by low tide. for the first time in seven weeks lethal injections have been used to put inmates to death in our country. overnight georgia executed convicted rapist and murderer marcus wellens and minutes later missouri put together john winfield, a convicted murderer. the procedure has been put on hold in many states after a botched execution back in april. this morning general motors chief mary bar rah heads back to capital, lawmakers expected to grill her on an internal investigation into the company's handling of an ignition switch defect that led to 13 deaths. the report discouraged reporting of the bad news. we'll continue to watch here on cnn and see what kinds of questions she faces and as the recalls continue, 20 million. >> thanks so much. coming up next on "new day," dr. oz gets quite a scolding on

♪ "first day of my life" by bright eyes ♪ you're not just looking for a house. you're looking for a place for your life to happen. welcome back to "new day." it's a humanitarian crisis, and it's right in our own backyard. children from central america streaming in from mexico by the thousands. the obama administration has stepped up efforts to deport

them, and during cnn's town hall event hillary clinton defended the president saying she supports sending home people to the responsible adult for those children, if possibility. now the government of honduras is making its pitch to the white house to do the opposite. what will happen here? we have cnn's rosa flores with more. rosa. >> reporter: good morning, honduras making a bold request this morning asking the u.s. to stop deporting minors. now, based on what i saw on the ground the request is actually an honest reality check, the country saying it doesn't have the resources to receive a new wave of deported children. they came by the thousands, ending up here in crowded detention centers, some as young as 5. the federal government in southwestern states struggling and arguing with how to deal with them as they work to processing them all. many of them sent alone in the hopes the u.s. will have

compassion and allow them to stay. >> we have to send a clear message. >> reporter: former secretary of state hillary clinton weighing in on cnn, her message, send it back. >> they have to be spent back as soon as it's determined who the responsible adults in their families are. concerns about whether all can be sent back but all who can be should be reunited with their families >> reporter: obama administration has called the influx of tens of thousands of minors an urgent humanitarian situation and says they are providing relief, including housing, medical treatment and transportation but is still deporting children. now the honduran government is firing back. they want the u.s. to keep the children and their families in the states saying in a statement they can't handle the influx of immigrants coming back and that if we are talking of the principle of family reunification, why not reunite

them in the united states. in honduras, this is where every deported minor is processed. the ones that don't get claimed stay in these dormitories with open ceilings and no air conditioning, and if honduras has its way, these beds will stay empty at a time when the country is fighting a huge wave of violence. the communities on opposite sides of this river are a glaring example of the breakdown of law and order. on one side you've got a gang-control slum where crime is rampant. on the other side of the river you've got a neighborhood watch community taking security into its own hands. gangs controlling neighborhoods, not thinking twice about assaulting, robbing and killing. terrified parents wanting a chance at life for their children. >> now vice president biden is expected to visit central america at the end of the week to talk about this humanitarian crisis.

now the big question now is if the united states says yes to honduras, will el salvador and guatemala jump in the bandwagon, and let's not forget, when we're talking about these unaccompanied children, the estimate for this year is about 60,000 children. >> so many questions of what to do. good question. thank you so, rosa. great reporting. now to one of tv's most popular doctors taking heat from lawmakers in washington. dr. mehmet oz was grilled by a senate panel over his promoves weight loss products on his daytime tv show. lawmakers questioned him for supporting products with little or no scientific evidence to back them up. senior health correspondent elizabeth cohen joins us with much more. what did they have to say and how did dr. oz respond? >> reporter: lots of criticism for dr. oz and dr. oz said i might be guilty of using flowery passionate language but all the ads on the internet, they are

not mine. >> has scientists saying they have done a magic weight loss cure for every body type. >> reporter: standard fare. >> this miracle pill did burn fat fast. >> reporter: and senators questioned him. >> in january you called this product lightning in a bott. i don't get why you need to say this stuff because you know it's not true. so why when you have this amazing megaphone and this amazing ability to communicate, why would you cheapen your show by saying things like that? >> i actually do personally believe in the items that i talk about on the show. i've passionately studied them. i would give the audience the advice i've given my family all the time. >> reporter: 70% of americans are overweight or obese and last year consumers spent $2.4 billion on weight loss products and services.

>> it's green coffee peens. >> reporter: at the hearing on deceptive advertising at weight loss products senator claire mccaskill talked about all the ads that use his name and image. he says he's gone to court to stop them but the senators still wouldn't let the doctor off the hook. >> when you so much a product on your show it creates what has become known as oz effect, dramatically boosting sales and driving scam artists to pop up overnight. >> reporter: oz acknowledged that these advertisers might have been inspired by his flowery language. >> used language that was very passionate but it ended up not being helpful but incendiary and it provided fodder for unscrupulous advertisers. i'm second guessing every word i use on the show right now. >> reporter: oz concede that had oftentimes the claims he makes about some products would not withstand the scrutiny of the food and drug administration, but they don't have to. supplements don't have to have their claims approved by the fda. i want to note that i've been a

guest on the dr. oz show. as this hearing the federal trade commission says, look, we know that there is an endless flood, as they put it, of products that make bogus claims but they say we don't have the money or resources to go after all of them. in fact, they can only go after a small percentage. chris, kate? >> how about that aspect of the problem. you go and have dr. oz, i get it. why doesn't congress, point the finger, you've got four pointing back at you. the fda does not take a look at these supplements. >> they say they don't have the resources. >> elizabeth, thank you. coming up on "new day," talk about a selfie. look at this video, a woman filming herself as she's having a stroke. why it she do it and how is she able to do it and how will it help her condition. we'll tell you the answers. it may be as shocking as the video. >> dick cheney returns. the former vice president says

welcome back to "new day." here's a look at the headlines. we begin with a developing story north of baghdad. one of iraq's main oil refineries under attack by isis militants. the iraqi military claims they were able to keep those militants from taking over the facility. we're told that isis reportedly only about 37 miles from baghdad now, but iraqi forces and tribal fighters are working to keep

them at bay. the alleged mastermind of the deadly 2012 attack on the american mission in benghazi should be in the u.s. within days. special forces captured ahmed abu khatallah over the weekend. told no shots were fired in the operation. he's now being questioned aboard a navy ship. president obama says khatallah will face the full weight of the law. an explosion ripped through a crowd of people gathered to watch the world cup in nigeria killing at least 21 and injuring dozens more. witnesses say a suicide bomber steered a motorized rick shaw packed with explosives towards the crowd which was watching the match between mexico and brazil. no group has claimed responsibility for that blast, although the area is home to the militant islamist boca haram group. and a group of independent experts saw they think they know where flight 370 went down. put it in a spot 100 miles

southwest of the previous search area. the group points to new information that the plane's equipment was programmed with certain assumptions about the location of a satellite which ended up being false. keep in mind more than 100 days since mh-370 went missing, march 8. long time. long wait for those families. >> a long time still to come, to be sure. all right. time for inside politics on "new day" with john king. mr. king here to discuss us once again. >> good morning. there is a lot to discuss, foreign policy a big part of the political debate here in washington this morning let get right to it. with me to share their reporting cnn's peter hammond and jonathan martin. let's talk about the arrest of the lead suspect in the benghazi attack. cnn's arwa damon sat down with him more than a year ago, where's the fbi and the military to go in and get khatallah. well, they got him yesterday and

here's the president. >> when americans are attacked, no matter how long it takes, we will find those responsible and we will bring them to justice and that's a message i said the day after it happened, and regardless of how long it takes, we will find you and i want to make sure that everybody around the world hears that message very clearly. >> the president speaking yesterday, i should note the raid was over the weekend. peter, on capitol hill you would expect people to say maybe it's about time but say good for you. they are congratulating the special forces and the fbi, but a lot of republicans are saying don't bring him here and put him in the federal courts. send him to gitmo and try him as an enemy combatant. >> yeah, that's the answer. the republicans will not give the president credit on anything on foreign policy at this point. lindsey graham, all his hawks, rubio, john mccain in the senate, are jut going to be

openly critical of him from now until the end of his presidency. a very good story for obama right now. we'll see how long the story line lasts, but at a moment when there's so many foreign policy flash points and troubles for him overseas, ukraine, russia, but especially in syria and iraq, you know, a rare bit of good foreign policy news in a moment where he really needs one. >> peter makes a point. remember, this is the president, you know, who launched the raid. they got bin laden. now you see republicans saying since then has it gotten a little bit soft on terror. dick chain and lynne cheney, op-ed piece in the "wall street journal" today blaming the president. >> liz cheney. >> liz cheney, sorry, blaming the president for what's happening in iraq right now, saying sure, maliki might not have wanted u.s. forces to say but president obama should have pushed for it, should have demanded it. they are saying all this is happening now because of him. this there's a line in that article i want to read to you from dick and luz cheney. rarely has a u.s. president been so wrong about so much at the

expense of so many. instead he abandoned iraq and we're watching american defeat snatched from the jaws of victory. this one is a tough one when you read it because it is fair game and legitimate subject for discussion. did the president push hard enough? did he make a stand? did he fight with maliki and say we need to leave u.s. troops here in iraq but do republicans real want the bush team, the iraq team, the people, you know, no weapons of mass destruction, no iraqi oil to pay for it, no greetings for u.s. liberators, 4,500 service men and women killed in iraq. do the republicans really want the bush team out there leading the charge right now? >> the jaws of victory construct is open for question, and i think to your broader point, no, of course not. the party wants to look to the future. however, the cheney family wants to look to the future, too, which is the point of that op-ed. it's about helping liz cheney get more of a platform so she can start a political comeback of her own. this is less about barack obama

or dick cheney about, liz cheney and the next generation. it's also about rand paul, by the way. criticizing obama. this is about asserting the role of the hawks in their coalition in, their party and making sure 2016 they nominate a hawk. >> to your point, some of the rhetoric this this op-ed is a little over the top, that president obama is indifferent to al qaeda's threat to the united states. i think that's pretty tough. >> provocative indeed. >> and tough to swallow, i think, and that's sort of why maybe some republicans might be, you know, gristling at the fact that you see a lot of paul bremers and wolfowitzes and cheneys talking about this at the moment. they like talking about foreign policy but are these the people you want doing it. >> the big event last night with the former secretary of state, most likely future presidential candidate hillary clinton here on cnn. a number of interesting statements in the town hall. i find this one perhaps most interesting. not a surprise what she said. she wad asked by a woman does

she support more gun control, more background checks, assault weapons ban? she says yes but listen. >> do you think that reinstating the ban on assault weapons and banning high capacity magazines would do any good? >> yes, i do. we cannot let a minority of people, and that's what it is, a minority of people, hold a viewpoint that terrorizes the majority of people. >> that, jonathan and peter, what's so fascinating. not a surprise she's for gun control and democrats think that's a winning argument when you look at a presidential map and need to win in the suburbs. she is picking a direct fight with the nra right there, a minority that terrorizes the majority, risky. >> i think that's pretty hot rhetoric, and i'm not sure that would have been in the focus group, but, look, it does play well with the kind of voters that are going to be crucial in 2016.

the fact is there are two different sets of politics when it comes to guns, jop. there are congressional rules and presidential rules, and the fact is under this national construct it is a much better issue for democrats than it is than in the congressional elections. having spent some time in kentucky and arkansas, this might be far-fetched, but some democrats in the south think that clinton could possibly put somewhere like kentucky in play on a national presidential map again, probably pretty far-fetched and saying something like this complicates that. >> that is something, that strong position and taking directly on the nra will help her with the liberal base of the democratic party. on immigration interesting, a little bit of both. listen first when she talks -- a woman said -- a gentleman said president obama is the deporter in chief. would you stop that policy? >> i mean, the horror of a father or a mother going to work and being picked up and immediately whisked away and children coming home from school

to an empty house and nobody can say where their mother or their father, is that is just not who we are as american. >> there we're saying fewer people already here who are working and not doing anything wrong, obviously they broke the how to get here, that they should be able to stay. crisis in the recent days of all the children stacking up at the border and on that she took a much tougher line saying they can't stay. >> should be september back as son as they can be determined who the responsible adults in their families are because there are concerns about whether all of them can be sent back, but i think all of them who can be should be reunited with their families. >> that one there i think liberals are going to say, hey, wait a minute, right? >> i think so. one example from this town hall of her either taking both sides of many different controversial issues or being extremely cautious. i think you're right. after saying in one breath that the president should have more leeway hon this issue and should

be more sensitive to families and then taking sort of like a harder line that you might hear from a house republican in the next breath was actually pretty advantage. >> she doesn't want to be seen as somehow enabling this sort of surge of illegal immigration across the border, but i think broadly watching that interview, john, i'm struck by the fact that she's running to be the nominee of barack obama's party in 2016, not bill clinton's party in '92. this is a much more offensive, unapologetic brand of liberalism than i think her husband practiced and it reflects how the country has changed and how her party has changed. >> she's wrapping up all these interviews on the book tour. interesting, peter and john. interesting to see -- let's look a month from now to see if these numbers change. i want to give you as we get back to you guys, these numbers from the nbc/"wall street journal" poll. is hillary clinton knowledgeable and experienced and 55% say yes. one of the reasons she's out there trying to change this number. honest and straightforward, only 38% of americans say that.

going to run for president got to boost that number up. >> got a long to imas she reminds all of us she's not yet the candidate, john. >> i wonder how high a politician can go on their honest and straightforward, like what do you think the top number would be? >> they had a good question. >> thanks, john. coming up on "new day," what would you do if you thought you were having a stroke? one woman decided to pull over and film this terrifying episode as it happens to her. wanted to show doctors what was happening. want to talk to a doctor about how that decision may have saved her life. wallet is feeling a little lighter recently. we'll tell you what's behind it as prices are spiraling out of control. presentation. and when steve is perfectly prepped, ya know what he brings? and that's how you'll increase market share. any questions?

it's all tingling on the left side. on the left side, and my hand is hard to lift up. >> just amazing. that's happening as she's sitting in her car. that scary moment caught on camera by a woman who filmed herself while she was having a stroke. she later found out. she was driving home. she lost feeling on her left side, decided to film the episode to show doctors her symptoms, she's had these in the

past, and she wanted to show them the video that then helped her diagnose as having a mini stroke after they earlier told her she was experiencing symptoms of stress. joining us to discuss really this amazing episode and dr. susan steinbalm director of women's health at lennox hill hospital. great to see you again. this woman had gone to the hospital complaining of these sump toms and they had given -- kind of discussed with her ways of dealing with her stress, breathing in and out the symptoms weren't clearly happening when she was at the hospital at the time. she leaves and films this. it was clearly a missed diagnosis but how dangerous was this? >> really unbelievable. watching this all of us feel the same way, like oh, my goodness, how could they say that this is stress? it's a scary thing. cardio vascular disease is the number one in three killers of all people and the reality is it's happening in younger and younger women. 87% of the time it's due to the same risk factors, heart

disease, diabetes and high cholesterol and high blood pressure, smoking, lifestyle, stress, obesity, and really we are seeing these risk factors in younger and younger people, in younger and younger women. i hear very, very often that women were told it was stress. it's in your head because it's almost hard to believe that the reality is she said this is not stress and i really have to show what's going on with me. >> you can sense her frustration because we know when there's something not right in our bodies, but i think sometimes we're reluctant or maybe there's a miscommunication with the doctor. do you see that happening from time to time? and do you think that this is a good way to do it is take it into your own hands and say i've got to show you? >> i hear this often, unfortunately, and i think that women, especially this younger than 55-year-old woman. this population is really

developing strokes and heart disease at an increased rate. ing this something that we're seeing that's new. >> is there a gender issue here? i mean, do women suffer from miscommunication with doctors more than men do. >> it's a miscommunication as well. i hear the women saying it might be in my head, but they tend to try and dismiss it, you know, work through it. power through it. be a mom through it, and the reality is they have to go in and say this is what's happening to me. >> what do men tend to do, say i'm really sick and go to the doctor? >> i'm really sick. i'm having chest pain and we've always thought of cardio vascular disease as a man's disease so it's communication from the women's side of thing and then the doctors have to really listen in another way and really have to think that heart disease and stroke is the number one problem that these women might be coming in with because it -- if the doctor doesn't think this way, then these are

how things get missed. >> she ended -- they ended up taking this video and diagnosing her of having mini strokes and they traced it back to the buildup of plaque in her arteries which led to blockage which led to the mini stroke. she's in the process of working through that with changing her diet and medications and all that sort of thing. what is the big take away? is it that this is the kind of -- of the ultimate example of the presence of mind of taking your medical care and being your own best patient advocate, and do you think that people need to do this more and more? >> my whole thing right now is really about patient empowerment, and in this day and age with how health care is going, we all need to understand exactly who we are, exactly what our medical conditions are. what our risk factors are and we have to really take control over getting the medical care that we need. i think that this is so sad that she had to do this but quite

frankly it's unbelievable to watch, but the fact that she had presence of mind to do this is really something that we should all pay attention to. >> thank god for the cell phone camera, there's evidence, irrefutable. there's one thing that is fascinating. there's an app called f.a.s.t. through the american heart association, fast, f, facial droop, a, arm weakness, s, slurring of speech and t, time to call 911 and that's the through the american heart association, for stroke. downloadable app can you put on your phone that sends you directly to 911 so takeaway message, empower yourself. get the information. you know what? if it's an app, get the app, but this is really about taking control, and she showed us how to do that. >> perfect example that shouldn't have had to happen but thank god it looks like she will be okay. >> aspirin.

>> take an aspirin. >> great advice as always. >> coming up on "new day," explaining the obvious, gas, groceries, even clothes. prices are popping all of a sudden, right? we'll tell you why. bill have you seen my keys anywhere? i'll help you look. maybe you left them in the bathroom again. it's just the strangest thing... the warning signs of alzheimer's disease, may be right in front of you. it's alright baby. for help and information, call the alzheimer's association or visit alz.org/10signs

when folks think about wthey think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology.

shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.

hey is that wallet feeling a little lighter these days? feel like you've been paying more for things than earlier this year even? you are not imagining it.

no, the new consumer price index for may shows almost across the board, the costs have risen, a direct impact on that wallet of yours. christine here with us to talk about at the magic wall. i thought it was in my head. glad to know it's not just me. >> plenty of things in your head, michaela. >> some voices, too. food, off the bat, it seems though those prices are on the rise. >> you look within these number, you can seeks actually where, talking about meat and poultry and eggs and fish, all of these going up. in part, because the feed costs for some of these animals is going up so the herds have been thinned a little bit. you look at fruits and vegetable, you have got all of this drought out west, so, that's -- you know, the breadbasket is the middle of the country but the fruit -- >> we saw some severe weather over the winter, too, that probably had an impact. >> a big part of that story there. >> okay, i have recently been trying to buy some plane tickets, seems like we have never seen prices go up at the rate they are going up. is that my imagination? >> the add-ones are going up, you look at base fares, something so interesting,

airfare up 5.8%, you look at base fares, those are going up specifically on direct flights. if you look around today for your summer flights or fall travel, you will notice the convenience of going from one place to another, you're going to pay a little more for that, continue to watch the add-ons. >> baggage fees. >> what is not going away is change fees, except southwest. >> those can be a lot. >> $200. the way it is built in now, tough buy a new ticket if you don't take your ticket, the way of the future. >> the other one that matters to us is energy. we are talking about the prices to heat and cool your home, also gas prices. >> yeah. >> i can almost predict, gas praises are going up, right? >> going up. already up. gas prices up about 7/10ths of a percent, electricity prices going up, means if you're powering the window air condition they are summer, certainly going to feel it. we look at the gas price trend, i think what's so interesting about this, we have seen the trend pull back a little bit in 2012.

average gas prices for the year up a little bit last year. this year, like right now, i think we are at 3.66, aaa number, i think you can add another 20 cents on top of that because of the unrest in iraq. >> the unrest in iraq? i was gonna ask, going into the summer driving season, vacations, et cetera, we always see gas prices rise. but you're saying on top of that? >> iraq is going to be on top of that long-term, iraq is going to be a challenge. looking for iraq to start producing more over the next few years and that's built into everyone's expectations about energy. if you have iraq defending the 3.3 million barrels a day it is putting out now that is going to be a longer term story for gasoline. >> we won't see it dip down after the summer? >> i don't think we will see it dip down, most of the people i'm talking to don't think you will hit $4 a gallon, hurricane season comes up at the end of the winter, i never like to make predictions what is going to happen. >> what is interesting, chris and kate, says it with a smile on her face. gave us bad newsen at wallets. >> fill up all the way today. half a tank. >> christiana is tasked with an

impossible job, often having to deliver the bad news of the economy. thanks, christine. >> christieian. >> did i call you christieian? >> i was thinking i'm going to be speaking with christian later. >> christine romans enjoys giving you bad news about your home innocence, is what it is at the end to of the day. few work as hard to give you the information you need as christine romans. i have to say that. she doesn't even like me. the suspected leader of the benghazi terror attack is now on a u.s. navy ship. what are they doing to him there and what happens if he asks for a lawyer? the rules that apply, ahead. plus, hillary clinton gives her cnn -- gives cnn her first reaction to the capture of that man. will it help her get beyond the benghazi controversy if she runs in 2016? christieian amanpour, who moderated that town hall is joining us live. see, you see where i was going. >> sure. a day at the spa is essential for rejuvenating your spirit.

you owe me this cause i clean your tushy.

but i'll settle for a toddler yogurt facial any day. all done, mommy. hey, love that yogurt. it's good stuff. you uh, you got a little something... hmm, it happens. yogurt is number 14 of my 20. the new amex everyday credit card with no annual fee. still good. make 20 or more purchases in a monthly billing period, and earn 20% more rewards. it's membership that rewards you for the things you already buy, everyday. what's your 20?

our special forces were able to capture an individual, be a ducat talia. >> the man behind the benghazi attack captured, now in u.s. custody and on the slow boat to america. new details on the raid that snagged him and hillary clinton weighs in. what does she say she wants to know from him? happening today, president obama set to meet with congressional leaders as calls for him to order air strikes on iraq grow. and overnight, former vice president dick cheney comes out with his most stinging criticism of the president yet. pint-sized phenom, the 9-year-old who not only plays on the high school basketball team but being recruited by colleges. again, she's 9. the future star will take some shots with us live in the studio. your new day continues, right now. good morning and welcome once again to "new days request," wednesday, june 18th,

8:00 in the east. took almost two years but the alleged master mind of the deadly attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi will finally face justice and that will happen on american soil. ahmed abu khattala taken into custody over the weekend, already being interrogated on a u.s. navy ship in the mediterranean and now learning he may have been planning another attack. we start our coverage with barbara starr at the pentagon this morning. barbara, what more are we learning about the capture? >> good morning, kate. the u.s. ambassador to the united nations, samantha power, has written a letter saying khattala indeed may have intelligence about more attacks against the united states, reuters reporting that. but now, the u.s. has his hands -- their hands on him. ahmed abu khattala was lured to a location south of benghazi. u.s. officials from multiple agencies tell cnn. army delta force come map doughs, fbi and intelligence agencies were watching and waiting for days. cality talia, a key operative in

ansar al sharia, the group the u.s. blames for the 2012 attack on the u.s. compound in benghazi. intelligence gleaned from local libyans helped draw khattala to the location. u.s. commandos captured him with no shots fired, no one getting hurt a surprise feat, one former libyan official tells cnn, because khattala usual surrounded himself with guards. u.s. commandos whisked him to a navy ship in the mediterranean to begin undergoing questioning for his role in the attack and anything else he knows about terrorist activity. officially, the pentagon will say little. >> i'm not going to get into specifics about the actual execution of the operation. >> reporter: president obama touted the capture. >> is important for us to send a message to the world that when americans are attacked, no matter how long it takes, we will find those responsible and

we will bring them to justice. >> reporter: but some wonder why it took so long, when journalists like cnn's arwa damon were able to find and talk to khattala more than a year ago. >> we met with ahmed abu khattala in public at the coffee shop of a well-known hotel here in benghazi for around two hours. he seemed to be confident, his demeanor most certainly not that of a man who believed he was going to be detained or targeted any time soon. >> reporter: so, how could cnn get to khattala and it took u.s. commandos over a year to find him? >> in order to do this safely, effective effectively, efficiently, nobody got hurt, by the way that takes time to plan, that takes a lot of information gathering and we did this in a very stealthy way. >> reporter: so, who exactly were the men that grabbed abu khattala? they belong to the soinlt special operations command, jsoc. this is one of the most secretive organizations in the u.s. military. jsoc, those are the guys that

walked right up to the taliban a few weeks ago and got bow bergdahl. those are the guys that went into osama bin laden's compound. chris? >> all right, barbara, so, catching this particular suspect, very important in terms of figuring out benghazi and that will have implications on american politics, depending how the process plays out of prosecuting khattala could run up against the 2016 presidential election, that raises the question of how it may affect hillary clinton's chances. she took part in a cnn town hall last night and the benghazi arrest was a big item on the agenda. brianna keilar has that part of the story for us. brianna, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, chris. this was pretty interesting, because hillary clinton in her new book talks about benghazi and makes it clear that she really sees the debate over it in a political light. she says she doesn't want to engage in this political fight in what she refers to on the backs of dead americans but last night, she toned it down, she said there's stale lot that we don't know and she also said

that she is still looking for answers. hillary clinton gave her first reaction to the capture of the mastermind of the attack in benghazi, ahmed abu khattala by u.s. forces. >> well, i'm very pleased. the united states has an unwavering commitment to bring to justice those who are responsible for attacks on americans new york matter where they are, no matter how long it takes. >> reporter: but earlier on cnn, the mother of one victim had demanded more answers. >> i dotely relate to her as a mother or any of the mothers of the four americans killed that night. i can see why she and others are inconsolab inconsolable. >> reporter: clinton took questions from cnn chief international correspondent, christian amanpour, from the internet and the audience at washington's news seem while promoting her new book "hard choices." clinton was asked about immigration reform and the harsh realities of the current system. >> the horror of a father or a

mother going to work and being picked up and immediately whisked away and children coming home from school to an empty house and nobody can say where their mother or their father is that is just not who we are as americans. >> reporter: she addressed the violence in iraq, the u.s. withdrawal from afghanistan and the war in syria, highlighting policy rifts between her and president obama. >> i recommended that we do more in the very beginning to support the moderate opposition. >> reporter: but -- >> the buck stops with the president and the president had very legitimate concerns. >> reporter: on tumbler, one person asked for a more definitive marriage equality answer. >> my views have changed over time. it really became very clear to me that if we're going to support marriage in our country, it should be available to everyone, regardless of who they love. >> reporter: on reinstating the assault weapons ban -- >> we cannot let a minority of people, and that's what it is,

it is a minority of people, hold a viewpoint that terrorize the majority of you people. >> reporter: and there was a little humor on marijuana. >> i didn't do it when i was young, i'm not gonna start now. >> reporter: and on the hard choice between being a grandmother or being president, clinton could not resist. >> there have been a lot of grandfathers who have done it. >> precisely. >> reporter: now, there have been some questions how well her book is selling. we are told by a source that her publisher, simon and schuster, that it is going well, she sold 100,000 copies, this is e-books, retailers, in the first week of the book being out. the question though, chris and kate, is does that taper off or does it stay strong? not only to justify the reported $14 million advance she received to write it, but also to signal whether people are really interested in what she's saying. >> then you have got those inevitability polls that sure are speaking quite loudly now. thank you so much, brianna was there.

let's bring in the host of that town hall now, christian amanpour, cnn's chief international correspondent and the host of cnn's international's "amanpour." congratulations, very successful, very interesting hour, plus, with her. >> i'm glad it was interesting. we were very fortunate to be able to probe some very, very hard, breaking news questions with her, not just the ben gas zir, but also the situation in iraq, where we have a state of al qaeda offshoot in control of a massive piece of territory spans the border of iraq and syria some, i try to push her on not just her differences with president obama on that but why didn't she push hard enough, if fighting terrorism is the existential national security prioritity of united states of america? this surely must be, you know, exhibit a. >> were are you -- do you think folks will be satisfied with her answer, why didn't you push harder? >> you know, i think she is obviously clearly making a very difficult balance between not wanting to rip the party apart,

what is the point of, you know, going out and sort of raining all over president obama. >> you talk about that radical dander. >> well, that was something that a different interviewer had mentioned. she said she liked it i wanted her to show some radical candor. the syria thing is so massively important because if her idea, which wasn't just her, remember, it was the entire national security staff, the president out of the white house, let's say, it was panetta, pet their ya, mullin, all the military, cia, defense and herself, plus regional allies, two years ago or so, had armed and trained the moderate opposition. we may have, as she wrote in her book, seen an isolation of the extremists drain that swamp in syria and don't let them go and create mayhem that you see now in iraq. >> do you remember covering this issue then? you covered it closely? >> it didn't come out at the time. i think it was the new york times who first reported it. then here was this plan and the president decided no to go with

this plan. >> but do you remember her ever being vocal about that? >> no because it was private discussions with all these national security people. and i don't remember them ever really confirming it at the time. but i have spoken to many world leaders about it, whether in europe, whether in turkey, around there, people who she had also gone and got the agreement to do this kind of thing, and they keep saying, you know they is what we should be doing and otherwise, you know what's happened? what they have allowed is qatar and saudi arabia to simply dump weapons and cash, who knows who is getting this them? we know who is getting them. isis. and what's isis doing with them? completely taking over this part of iraq and a massive, you know, counter to american national security. >> what did you think of her response to -- it was a very good question on iraq coming from the audience and your follow-up. she seemed careful. she did not necessarily give her exact prescription of what the united states should do here.

she seemed to be in line with where the administration thinking is, except maybe on the question of coordination with iran. >> well, even there, i don't think anybody's made a decision in the white house here in the united states. and you know, i'm beginning to get a reading that they may just let it go. and i'm not sure whether i'm correct, but you keep pushing what are your options? we are now more than a week into this relentless march by isis. they are practically banging on baghdad's door. and this is an incredibly, you know, terrifying prospect, frankly to all of us in this post- 9/11 world to see al qaeda or an offshoot get this amount of territory, territory in a sovereign country. >> used toer to, not territory being the goal. now, she can take a step sideways right now, because there's such indecision. on benghazi, however, there's a higher standard for her in terms of accountability. how did you feel her answers

were being received by that crowd last night on benghazi? do you think that they trust her assumptions about what she knew and how she reacted? >> you know, i think this thing will always be a political waterloo sort of thing that's a bit dramatic, waterloo, but a political thorn in her side because it's been made such and for sure there are many people who still say you say you've taken responsibility, but what does that mean? why weren't people fired? for instance, in our business, in other businesses, you know exwhen you have egregious lapses, you take, you know, you take action, you fire some people, right? that didn't happen, so that's one thing that people still question why. you know, the bigger issue to me is this is the result, probably, from leading from behind. again, in her book, she talks about how the united states supported europe in the iraq mission, did not lead. and this was -- this was -- i remember very sort of controversial comment that apparently came out of the white house. look, we led from behind in

libya, look how well it worked out in the immediate aftermath. well, it didn't really, because only american leadership can actually try to shape the postwar reality. it's one thing to bomb the heck out of the militias and liberate libya from gadhafi. then what? and the united states would have been in a position, had it led, to at least have been able to have leverages on the ground. let's say for instance, okay, you militias, we came in and we helped you or we will come in and we help you, when this is over, you will sit around the table. at least some kind of shape willing of the post-gadhafi plan, there was none of that no security, no nothing and this is what, among other things, led to lack of security at this outpost that wasn't an embassy. >> the situation on the ground is not good in libya. not focusing on it? >> right. right. in fact, it got worst. >> christiane, thank you so much, congratulations again p you can now take a nap. >> not yet. >> exactly. you're right. greet see you. >> saw two of the best on display, hillary clinton is very good at staying on message and

christian amanpour is one of the best at getting you off it. so, that made for some good tv. >> thank you. >> always a pleasure. always a pleasure. what do we know about the latest situation that's going on in iraq? well, on the political side, president obama is going to meet with top lawmakers today to figure out what at least the situation is and then hopefully what the options could be. however, there are conflicting reports about what they are considering as options. the "wall street journal" decided against air strikes. but the "new york times" says targeted strikes are still possible. so, here's what we actually know for sure. the threat, isis militants are pushing toward baghdad. they just attacked a main oil refinery this morning. white house correspondent, michelle kosinski is tracking developments for us. what is the latest? >> reporter: hi, chris. well, the president clearly wants to involve congress on this. that meeting isn't until late this afternoon that means the world has all day to tray to decipher whether or not a decision has been made, right?

we know that the president has been meeting with his national security team. we know that they have been weighing options and we know that those options include things like drone strikes, air strikes, sending in more u.s. special forces, but only to advise and train the iraqis. well, this morning, the national security council tells us precisely this, the president has not made a decision. at this stage, the only thing that remains ruled out is more u.s. troops in a combat role. and they say that the solution that's needed is an iraqi one that happened any u.s. military option would be in support of that strategy. chris? >> all right, so, that's strategic side, then we have this parallel battle field of the politics of what's going on, a lot of finger pointing, the latest salvo of the cheneys come forward, father and daughter. blistering criticisms, personal criticisms, of this president. also, strong basis of retaliation by the

administration. what are they saying about the suggestion that rarely has a u.s. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many? that comes from dick cheney. the question is which president is he talking about? what's the response at the white house? >> reporter: they are not responding directly yet, but you know is going to come up today during the afternoon briefing, but it was tough. the cheneys are basically accusing obama of golfing while iraq burns, saying iraq is at the risk of falling to a radical islamic terror group and mr. obama is talking climate change. terrorists take control of more territory around resources than ever before in history and he goes golfing. he seems blithely unaware or indifferent to the fact that a resurgent al qaeda presents a clear and present danger to the united states of america. he is taking issue with what he says that the president has said about america's enemies and al qaeda being decimated. he says he is taking america down a notch and that only a fool, cheney says, would think about involving iran in the iraq

equation. but keep in mind, the president has really only talked about decimating al qaeda leadership in afghanistan. isis in iraq is not al qaeda. and it's basically this political back and forth. the administration saying that the response to the threat in iraq has been robust for some time in the last year that they have been steadily ramping up military aid to the rngs, chris. >> important points. michelle kosinski, thank you very much for following it we will be having to watch this two-front battle. hopefully, they can get on the same page because the situation in iraq demands response urgently. thanks to her. a lot of other news this morning, let's get right to it. >> the big story we are watching here in the united states is that severe storm that has been working its way east, now threatening millions of people in the midwest again. another night of round -- another round of twist wers and funnel clouds spotted in nebraska. this is just a day after those twin tornadoes carved a path of destruction. this morning, folks in that

region is not in the clear yet. that's the bad news for sure. let's get to meteorologist linda peterson, on the ground in stanton, nebraska, surrounded by the devastation in the wake of those tornadoes. hey. >> michaela this is likely to be rated an ef3 tornado. take a look behind me. it now lacks like a complete war zone. you are talking about these trees, completely snapped in half. you are talking about all the bark stripped right off those trees and hard to miss. look at the trang doors and trailers completely flipped on their sides, even a peas of a fenderer, completely twisted and rotated, now just sitting, hanging in a tree this morning. here is the hardest part. this was someone's home. all that is left this morning are piles of rubble sittinging on the ground. one of the most heartbreaking things i saw this morning is what's sit willing right out in front. right now, just a lonely box that says, donations, please, that currently sits empty this morning and more severe weather is on the way, not only nebraska

but 66 million people. residents of nebraska hit by another round of wicked weather. >> yeah, turned around and start going. >> reporter: storm chaserser capturing one of three possible tornadoes ripping through cherry county, nebraska. and dropping tennis ball-sized hail on the ground below. >> oh, my goodness. >> reporter: another immense twister caught on video tearing through colleridge, the sound of the wind deafening. >> oh, gosh. >> reporter: this one day after twin tornadoes, both massive and violent, barrelled through the state. >> it's ripping up a whole town. on.to obliterating practically everything inned path. this powerful storm system reached beyond nebraska. harsh thunderstorms pum peopled southern which is with us, flooding homes into rubble in verona and platteville. stretching across the upper midwest, threatening millions of people, major flooding leaving parts of iowa under water with roads and homes completely

submerged. the same sight across minnesota and south dakota, where heavy rainfall caused substantial flooding in rivers and lakes, damaging homes, cars and businesses. >> we tried to get things as high as we could but when the water came, it came fast, too, first we had an inch and then all of a sudden, we had a foot and then it was waist deep. >> reporter: many houses surrounded by piles of sand bags, four feet high. residents able to reach their homes only by boat. >> no matter what happens here, we always have each other and no matter what we lose, we will stillen together. >> reporter: another tough sight this morning what is right behind merck right in the middle of all this rubble. what you see are several mattress and just looks like a couple containers here of water. this may be all that is left for some of the residents that called this home just a few days ago. again, 66 million people from tornado alley all the way to the northeast today looking for another threat of severe weather, including nebraska again today. chris and kate? >> indra, thank you so much for that. coming up next on "new day," more of hillary clinton's response to the benghazi

there are answers, not all of them, not enough, frankly, i'm still looking for answers because it was a confusing and difficult time, but i would hope that every american would understand, number one, why we were there, 'cause we need to be in dangerous places. and number two, that we are doing the best we can to find out what happened. >> that was hillary clinton during last night's cnn town hall, taking on the question of

the benghazi controversy and much more and also the decisions that she made as secretary of state and the aftermath of the terror attack on the u.s. mission there. to this day, clinton is at the center of the congressional investigations into whether more could have been done to save the four americans killed in that attack. let's talk about that question and much more from the town hall with maggie haberman, cnn political analyst and senior political reporter for politico. good morning, maggie. >> good morning. >> i've been tongue tied all morning. so i'm going to need your help. >> i will do my best. >> on the question of benghazi, as we heard there and you heard last night, she says that she, herself, still has answers and it was a very confusing time. that in coordination they have now captured khattala, do you think that does anything to quiet the criticism coming from the right? >> probably the opposite. when you say that i'm still looking for answers and you are the person who is supposed to be providing them, if you are the people running this congressional select committee, you are going to want to bring

her toward you and say well, then answer these questions. they haven't yet said whether they are going to call her to testify but it's an open question. what she was saying is technically right. i mean, the capture of this suspect, one of the things they are hoping to find out is the why, the how, there are a lot of open questions but the tone she took last night was very different -- not very different but different enough that was notable from her book, yes, there were open questions, we are never gonna note complete issue here, the comp pleat set over facts there was a fog of war. but this has become so political and i have been very in good faith and up front. >> maggie, when you put it that way, makes me think a different tone from what we heard at that congressional hearing, testified, put her hands up in the air and says, why does it matter very different tone this time when she says she, herself, still has questions. >> well, she addresses this in the book and in the chapter, she says that her words in that hearing at this point, were taken out of context, a broader

point how the point is try to make sure something like this doesn't happen again and you can make the case that from that you know, you discover exactly how it did happen. she argues this is very much sort of playing words, having been said, i was very struck by how she ayessed this last night. >> so, that was just one of a range of topics. christiane did a great job moving through the various topics to be able to get a lot of questions to her. overall, i want to get your take on her performance, full, a lot of people are judging it because everyone's wondering is this kind of her moving toward being candidate hillary clinton? first off, where do you think that she hit the mark? >> on a range of points she hit the mark, what i was struck by frequently, the same sides of issue. on immigration, one happened, the other hand, the issue of gun control, pretty strong and very strident language but also did not discuss the main issue that is very contentious, which is background checks.

she is going to get asked about that in the future. on syria, she was very strong in terms of separating out from the president. she does that in her book, that was not a surprise. what was most, i think, interesting overall, the overarching take away from this, she spoke about a range of topics pretty easily and pretty deftly. she is -- was also very cautious, a problem for her, talks how she wants to express more candor. she had moments of being light, she had moments of being funny, moments of being sort of playful and seemed to be enjoying herself more in the second half, but she is going to get hit on certain points going forward. >> she definitely is. also noticed and maybe this is her way she approaches these questions, she has talked a lot of we rather than i. why do you think that is? >> i should think a lot is about the administration and about democrats. i think she is trying to remind people, and it was a very self-conscious thing, she kept kaying we it is about we as a society, we as democrats, we as a party, when she sounds like she is making about i, i, i,

that hurts her. and to the point, when you see in the approval polls that came out today from the "wall street journal"/nbc poll, the more political she is, the more her numbers go down already. the last thing she need toes do is turn the camera on herself. that was something she struggled with in some of the interviews last week. >> going to definitely continue happening when she finally needs to make the ultimate i question is she going to run? she handled that question pretty well, the question of grandmother or being president. a lot of grandfathers have been both. >> that was very, very well done, one of her best moment he is. >> maggie, great to see you, thank you. >> thank you. >> a very intelligent take indeed. coming up on "new day," so we caught the alleged mastermind of benghazi without a shot. but now what? will we get the interrogation right? were there any other attacks in the works? this couldn't be a more urgent situation. we have an expert here to talk about what may happen next. plus, the biggest college basketball prospect in years and only 9.

welcome back this morning. the suspected mastermind of the benghazi attack is on a u.s. navy ship in u.s. custody, obviously. there are reports he had even more attacks up his sleeve. so, what's going on right now? what are interviewers or interrogators doing to him, what will they get out of him and stay within the rules? what are those rules? who knows? we have someone who does, phillip mudd, former cia counterterrorism official. sir, good to have you here with us this morning. allow me to present the questions that the up initiated have. why did this take you so long

when reporters were able to contact this guy.why were they a couple of phone calls away and you, experts, couldn't get them? >> come on now, let's have a reality check here. the reporter goes in to talk to this guy, he ounce the turf. they set where his security teams are surround you can the area, when it is, where it is. when a u.s. team goes in, we don't own the turf necessarily and we have to be careful. what's his pattern of life? what's his pattern of life going to be tomorrow? where are his security guards? what kind of weapons do they have? where are the women and children? where are the dead ends in the neighborhood? what happens if a man goes down and we have to recapture him in the streets of benghazi? the story between a journalist going in when the terrorist owns the turf and a s.e.a.l. team going in when a terrorist owns the tur riverview a lot different, fundamentally different. >> was there also a layered aspect here in terms of the requirements to make this move in the first place, having the evidence built up to make the

case? >> i think that's human story here. take knew one piece why the cases take so long and different from a journalist going in to speak to this fellow. let's just take witnesses, you go in and you say, if you're a prosecutor, i don't want to go into a court of law without proof, when a defense attorney can pick apart what i'm going to say, i want to talk to witnesses, first, from 5,000 miles away, i want to figure out who they are, that might take months. second in a war zone, i want to figure out where they are. third, i don't own libya, i'm going to have to go to the libyan government and say find these people and give me access to them. let's say you're six moments in now and you start the interview process. one more point, what do you think's gonna happen when you interview ten people? they are gonna start, over the course of those interviews, maybe the course of weeks and months, contradicting themselves so you are going to have to reinterview. my point is the difference between intelligence, which is "i think" and evidence, which is "i know," is huge. and that takes months or years to put together in a war zone. >> i know, or at a minimum for

our standards, i can show and i get that that took time. all right. so, now you have him h he is on a ship. >> yeah. >> what are the rules of engagement, but what are the right rules that keep this legal on this ship? can you interrogate? is he in custody? is he under arrest? what if he says he wantses a lawyer? how does this part play out? >> heck yes you can interrogate him. i find the debate in this country humorous on the issue of how we deal with terrorists. we don't have to read him his rights right away. >> why not? >> you can sit on a ship and talk to him for -- because that's what the law says. he is not in u.s. custody -- he is no -- he is in u.s. custody, not required by law, regulation or policy to give him his rights, they can talk to him. by the way, not going to talk to him about benghazi right now. i can tell you what they are going to ask him. a, forget about benghazi, where's the next attack. b, who's responsible for the next attack, and tell me about who those people r and c, if those are the people responsible for the next attack, where are

they and how i do get them? this is a people business, counterterrori counterterrorism, and i want to hunt the people for the next attack before i worry about the evidence for the last attack. >> what if he says i want to go and what kind of tactics do you employ to start opening a guy like this up? >> sorry, dude if you want to go you are done, put a fork in that dude, he is going to a u.s. federal prison, he is gonna rot, not going anywhere. tactics in this -- >> said not under arrest, why can't he leave? >> he is on a u.s. ship. >> he is in u.s. custody, unsealed complaint against him. you can hold him as long as you want. he is not going any were in terms of the interrogation, i think what's gonna happen here is let me take you inside the room for a second. you have to have people in the room who know everything about this guy's history. and everything about what he's done in the past so when he starts to lie about what he's done, he doesn't know what you know. and you start to say, look, if you said you were not at that facility, here's where you were on that day, here's what you were doing on that day, he

steelers realize that the room is closing around him. it takes him a long time to understand that he can't lie because the interrogators know more than he thinks. over time, you build a sense that there's no way out for him and he starts to get a sense that there's no option but to talk. you put your arm around him, say, son, if you don't talk, life is going to be really rough and your sentence is going to be longer. so, this will take a while, but at a takes real expertise to slowly close the room around him. >> what do you think? what's your best guess what you think the tent tackles are for this guy other bad guys in the riemen, other plans going on? >> i would say he knows a lot. whether he reveals a lot has to do not only with interrogation techniques but his own personality. when we were holding detainees at cia, as you know, we held them at black sites when i was there the way a detainee broke was vastly different, according to personality type. if he gets nervous and decides he wants to talk because he thinks that will get him off the hook, we might get a lot of information early. my guess, based on what i've seen of this guy, is he is at

the other end of the spectrum. when you have people are ho are religiously motivated, who believe they are directed by god to do terrorist attacks, they are not gonna break very easily. so i would say this is going to take a long time if ever, to get really at what this guy knows. >> philip mudd, thank you for taking us inside the room and inside the heads of the men and women trying to advance the u.s. cause on terror. appreciate it. >> appreciate it. >> thank you. thank you so much. chris, coming up next on "new day," not me, her, there she is. basketball's newest phenom, colleges are recruiting her. chris is about to attack her. that is a scary sight. christopher, be nice. >> i'm all hands. can't take t >> she is 9 years old. >> jay da newman in here to show off her skills and talk to us about that >> you so that he rebound? i yanked that. add an adjustable kickstand, a keyboard, a usb port,

see your doctor right away as some could be life threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i did not know what it was like to be a non-smoker. but i do now. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. \s high five. my new favorite 9-year-old. >> great, sweetheart. >> great to meet you. >> see you when you make the pros. >> a lot of news this morning,
