notorious crime syndicate. hear what the pope told more membersters that mobsters. team usa takes on portugal in four hours from now. we'll put you all in the middle of it coming up. first up, islamic militants in iraq known as isis are making significant gains in their efforts to take down iraqi troops and take over strategic towns. two iraqi security officials say isis now controls 70% of the western province of anbar. and that includes a strategically key town that includes a border crossing interest syria which is an -- into syria which is a stronghold, and militants control a town that is about 60 miles outside the capital of baghdad. together, the four towns are

situated along a highway from syria to baghdad increasing the possibility that militants could march from the west to seize the iraqi capital. isis fighters are being helped by several sunni tribes opposed to the shiite-dominated iraqi government. the militants also trying to sabotage the iraqi army's recruiting efforts. and security officials say suspected isis fighters shelled a recruiting station today, killing four and wounding dozens more. u.s. secretary of state john kerry is in the neighboring country of jordan to discuss the threat and explore ways to contain it all. our jim sciutto is traveling with the secretary. what is kerry saying about the severity of this crisis right now? >> reporter: well, he's extremely concerned. we just learned tonight that as we arrive in jordan, those isis militants are just 70 miles now from the jordanian border as they expand the land that they control inside iraq.

now as we met with secretary kerry a number of times on this trip, he's been repeating two goals of his diplomacy in the middle east now. one is to get the message across not just to the iraqis but to iraq's neighbors that this is a regional problem. it's not just an iraqi or syrian problem. the other one is that their focus is on a political solution to this. that to make this problem go away, really it's not just military action by the u.s. and others, it's about getting a unified iraqi government that represents all of the sects inside iraq, sunni, she aand kurd. and with great urgency. here's what secretary kerry had to say in cairo as he spoke alongside the egyptian foreign minister earlier today. >> no country is safe from that kind of spread of terror. and none of us can forward to leave that entity with a safe haven which would become a base for terror against anyone and

all -- not only in the region but outside of the region, as well. >> reporter: one thing secretary kerry says he is not doing is pushing the shiite prime minister of iraq, nuri al maliki, out. there's been speculation that as he's lost confidence not only with iraqi sunnis and kurds but with international leaders, american leaders, that he might be coming to the region to move him along on his way. he says that's not the focus. that the u.s. is not in the business of choosing or selecting iraq's leaders. that's up it iraq. he did make the point that iraq needs a leader who can unify the country, and that's something he hasn't had in these past several years. >> meantime, a neighbor of iraq, iran's supreme leader, coming out today against this u.s. intervention in iraq saying iraq can take care of itself. u.s. military advisers are set to arrive in iraq soon. if only the paperwork would be delivered. how is all of this going to i guess work together?

>> reporter: we've been asking about iran. it's something, as we spoke to u.s. official on this trip, they say they're not sure yet what iran's intentions are inside iraq. they say that if iran's intentions are shared, that they also want a unified government that represents all the sects and not just the shia. iran, of course, a shia country. secretary kerry has made this point. other u.s. officials did it. iran's function inside iraq is purely to help the shia, the shia battle the sunni, then the u.s. is not interested. if they are interested in along with the u.s. and the other neighbors of pushing for a more unified representative government, then that's something they can talk about. one thing they've also ruled out with iran is any military coordination on the ground. u.s. forces coordinating with iranian forces. they're willing to talk as long as they have a shared goal here. >> all right, jim sciutto, thank you very much, traveling with the secretary of state. meantime, there's been a lot of reaction in washington on how president obama is handling the

crisis in iraq. we're joined live from the white house. aaron, former vice president dick cheney had harsh words for the president this week. i understand today he came out swinging again. >> reporter: that's right. as you'll remember for some context, over a decade ago, vice president dick cheney as vice president supported serious action that led to war in iraq for the u.s. this morning, he said on abc news essentially that this administration should be doing more. >> when we're arguing over 300 advisers, when the request had been for 20,000 in order to do the job right, i'm not sure we've really addressed the problem. i would definitely be helping the -- the resistance up in syria, in isis' back yard, with training and weapons and so forth in order to be able to do a more effective job on that end of the party. but i think at this point there are no good, easy answers in iraq. >> reporter: on that last point that there are no good and easy

answers, no matter what direction lawmakers think that this administration tg, that is something by and large that they agree with. >> erin, what about democrats? what's being said? >> reporter: well, generally speaking, democrats are also very weary of going back in to iraq. but senate intelligence chairwoman dianne feinstein was on "state of the union" this morning with candy crowley. she has suggested that she thinks the administration is doing the right thing. >> i think it's a real wake-up call for the you see because they do want top develop the caliphate. they do want to and have about destroyed the border with syria. i think the president's doing the right thing. he's being a bit circumspect, being thoughtful. i think we're building our so-called isr assets so that some pinpointed action will be taken. >> reporter: of course, whatever that pinpointed action may be, that could, of course, be

controversial. >> all right. erin mcpike, thank you very much, from the white house. shifting gears quite a bit now. even for a pope who has taken on sensitive issues like clergy sexual abuse, gay rights, and abortion, this one stands out. pope francis is now challenging the italian mafia. movies tend to glamorize the gangster but not this pope. in his strongest language yet, he's telling mafia members who portray themselves as upstanding religious men they are excommunicated from the catholic church. he warn those who in their life have gone along the evil ways, they are not with god. vatican correspondent delia gallagher with us from rome. in a country with conflicting ties such as the mafia and church, so how this going over now? >> reporter: these were strong words. another first from pope francis. the first time a pope has told members of the mafia that

they're ex-communicated, and it is resounding loudly, especially in those regions like calabria where the pope was yesterday that live daily with a mafia presence. the reason the excommunication is a big word there is because they live basically with those two pillars, as you said, the catholic church and the mafia. they are small towns. they all know who the mafia members are. what these men try try to do is portray themselves as religious men. they want to participate in religious procession, attend mass. the pope is saying, no, we are distan distancing froure ining ourselv behavior. in saying this, the message is not so much for mafia members themselves who may not be losing too much sleep over the fact that they're excommunicated. t for the local communities, to give them support, to show them the pope himself is distancing himself from these people, and that they, too, should have the courage to do that on the front lines. >> all right.

in pope being known to kind of steal the headlines and stay out in front. thank you very much. delia gallagher, appreciate that. coming up next, world cup madness or excitement depending how you look at it. we have more from rio and a look at team usa's game against portugal at the world cup. >> reporter: hi, yes, i'm not just in rio, i'm at fan fest, the most exciting part of rio now. coming up, i have big injury news to tell you about. you'll want to hear this. >> all right. we look forward to that, laura. thank you very much. first, tennis fans are gathering for strawberries and cream as wimbledon gets underway this week. and one player hoping to do well is maria sharapova who remembers her own championship moment in this open court report. i remember -- i remember going up to the box. i didn't even know if that was allowed back then because you see all the security standing

there. i was like, am i allowed to go up the stairs? do i need to show you my credential? yeah, i was quite nervous about it. but i found may way, took a few minutes. i found my way to the box. and i had a very special moment with my father. he's -- he's been with me through the thick and the thin. and it was just -- it was really nice to see him so excited and so passionate. he never cries, but it was -- it was pretty emotional for him. >> reporter: following her wimbledon title, it didn't take long for sharapova to become a household name. >> i remember coming to new york afterwards, a week after i won wimbledon, i was on the cover of "sports illustrated." and i had no idea what "sports illustrated" was. and i -- i remember may manager running up to me and having no idea that i was going to be on the cover. and showing me this and being so excited, you know. he grew up in sports and playing in college and knows what that's about. i saw it, i was like, okay, cool, that's great. what's the big deal? now i look back like, wow, i was

australian officials will announce a new search area wednesday for missing flight 370. the transport safety bureau says it's been re-evaluating data

without any life jackets, treading water the entire time. >> very distraught, tired. you can tell they'd been in the water a long time. >> reporter: sean mcgovernor earn and melissa morris are so lucky to be alive after being rescued by some off-duty public safety officers off the coast of south florida. >> the female, when we brought her on board, her legs were actually cramped. she couldn't even move them. we had to actually lift her out of the water. the male, sean, said he ran into about three or four jellyfish stings during the course of the evening. >> reporter: the broward county sheriff's office says the couple fell off their boat in key largo, then watched the boat which was in gear, just pull away. mcgovern and morris drifted up the coast, finally being spotted seven miles off hallandale beach by some fishermen who just happened to include broward county safety officials. the two who didn't want their faces shown on camera said they felt they were just at the right place at the right time. >> another 30 minutes to an hour, they probably -- it probably wouldn't have the same

outcome as it did today because they were -- they were in pretty bad shape. they were both cramping pretty bad. they were very dehydrated, tired. they appeared to be mildly hypothermic. >> we originally thought they were bait fish. we got up close. once we realized they were in trouble, brought them on board. >> wow. the coast guard says despite what they went through, the couple will make a full recovery. the current crisis in iraq is very confusing. who is involved and what are the issues driving the country toward a full-scale civil war? find out straight ahead in our quick course: iraq 101.

iraq is heading toward an all-out civil war. fighting is intense, the characters are confusing, and the issues are wrapped up in a long history of hatred. one thing we know is that the conflict has created about a million refugees. how to make sense of iraq -- here's michael holmes. ♪ >> reporter: question one -- why is everyone fighting? ♪ >> reporter: there are a lot of reasons, but here's a big one -- sunnis are a minority in iraq, and they are fed up mainly because prime minister nuri al

maliki, a shiite, promised to open up his government to both ethnic groups. since the u.s. left in 2011, he's worked instead to strengthen shiite control of the ministry, making him pop lar in iran where it's also the minority. isis is exploiting that anger to fuel its rebellion. so it's sunnis versus shiites. more or less with some politics thrown in. here's a wild card, as well, with kurds in the north. they are mainly sunni but rule an autonomous region, kurdistan, which is iraq's most stable area right now. many kurds have wanted their own nation for years. if there's a winner so far in all of this, it's them. they've got turf, they've got oil, and they've got muscle. so who is isis? well, they used to be known as

al qaeda in iraq. in 2006, they rebranded as the islamic state in iraq and syria. the u.s. surge in iraq did set them back, but after the u.s. withdrew, isis grew in strength. al qaeda distanced itself with isis because they are so extreme and wouldn't take orders. isis is infamous for its brutality. and this is what iraq is up against. why not split up iraq? shiites in the south, kurds in the north, sunnis in the west and north. simply drawing lines on a map could lead to massive bloodshed. and don't forget the oil fields around the country. who gets what? on top of that, isis dreams of creating a caliphate, giant scramic state spanning iraq and syria, but much more than just that. tell settle for a slice of iraq? the answer -- will it said for slice of iraq?

the answer is no. we have to worry about syria, too. the civil war gave issues sis more access to fighters, weapons, and money. toxic combination. and the border, remember, between syria and iraq basically doesn't exist right now. isis in one country but not in another is probably impossible. so what do we do? air strike, combat troops,ing in? right now, no good or simple answer, and this is what makes this war so hard to end. >> michael holmes, thank you very much for that. so the isis militants continue to capture strategic iraqi towns and don't seem to be needing that much -- meeting that much resistance from iraqi forces. is there any way to help shore up iraq's military at this point? let me bring in cnn military analyst colonel rick francona, and christopher hill, dean of

the joseph corbel school of international studies at the university of denver and former ambassador to iraq. good to see you. >> good afternoon. >> colonel francona, to you first. what is happening? is the iraqi military so overwhelmed that it's not even willing to put up a fight again these militants in at least the three towns were that taken overnight? >> the three towns that were taken overnight were out toward the west. it looks like isis is moving down and trying to consolidate the area they have the north and west of baghdad. they've come down the euphrates valley, tigris valley. they're going down the road that links damascus and amman. they're trying to get the whole border area under control. we're not going to see much fighter from the iraqi army until they get closer to baghdad. i think it almost looks like to me that the iraqi army has ceded most of this territory and are setting up the battle to defend baghdad. >> ambassador hill, does that

worry you that the fighting would -- if there is fighting or some resistance from the iraqi army it would be when isis is so close to baghdad? >> well, it is clear that the iraqi army has ceded the western part of iraq, and what we really have a de facto partition which i don't think is very good news for the future of iraq. i think also isis is very interested in maintaining that connection with syria. after all, they're claiming to make a single caliphate. we have a transborder issue right now. and the iraqis are incapable of defending their own -- their own border. lots it worry about. >> that's what's confusing, i guess, colonel. why is iraq so indefensible at this point? it outnumbers isis in terms of manpower. why would it feel like it can't take on isis until -- i mean, i guess delaying this conflict which will be much worse,

bloodier, far more serious by waiting until they encroach on baghdad? >> a lot of that area we're seeing these towns are on the main roads. it's -- there's not much else out there. it doesn't make sense to deploy in numbers out in the desert. they're probably smarter to wait for isis to come to them which we know is coming. and as the ambassador said, i think they have ceded all that territory to them. >> ambassador hill, what's the danger of the u.s. in this strategy whether to be involved diplomatically now, but then potentially be involved more militarily later on? >> i think the concern, of course, is that as isis consolidates its position and the partition of iraq becomes more consolidated, then i think it's a more difficult nut to crack. certainly your michael holm ses setup piece argued that the

didn't like sunni. i would argue there's not a single sunni start in the arab at least likes having shias in iraq. so i think it's going to be very difficult even if you push maliki out and get another shia, i think it's going to be difficult to get support from the sunnis, especially if there's this perception that they've already established sunni-stan. the real issue is what are these -- i'll call them moderate sunnis -- what are their attitudes to isis that so far i think they're a little intimidated by them. and so they make -- they make that into an argument that they can never deal with the shia even though i think their real concerns is that the isis people will cut their heads off. >> so is it reasonable to even think or believe that while secretary kerry is visiting some of the neighbors, jordan, saudi arabia coming up, emirates, he'll be asking these leaders if they can help support or help push for a government in iraq that's more representative

equally of sunni, shia, and kurds. is that realistic that they would have that leverage, these neighbors would have leverage to make that happen, ambassador? >> it's absolutely worth a try. i mean, the effort is really to hold iraq together and it offer them the fact that this -- and to offer them the fact that this polarizing figure, nouri al malik, would be out of the equation and would they support someone else. it's worth a try. is it realistic? hard to say until you really engage in it. i think it's worth doing. so i think secretary kerry is definitely on the right track. the concern, of course, is that the sunnis, you know, it's -- it appears to many people who watch for the first time that somehow the sunnis were never engaged in the iraqi government. they were. when maliki formed the second administration of his, he had some 1/3, almost 1/3 of the

cabinet positions were sunni. the problem is he consolidated the defense and interior ministry, he went out after sunni leaders, and i think he created backlash. so he probably has to go. no question. >> all right. christopher hill, colonel rick fran cone athanks to both of -- francona, thanks to both of you. a congressman who has been a fixture since 1971 is in the fight of his political life. can charlie rangel hang on to his how to seat? -- his house seat? and it doesn. we build it in classrooms and exhibit halls, mentoring tomorrow's innovators. we build it raising roofs, preserving habitats and serving america's veterans. every day, thousands of boeing volunteers help make their communities the best they can be. building something better for all of us. ♪

the majority in what was historically a district that had a black majority. how much does that matter? we'll see. two years ago, he narrowly kept his job by fewer than 1,100 vote in the primary. he faces the same challenger. i spoke to congressman rangle. despite the close race last time, he maintains we won't see an upset this time. >> i don't want to say anything negative about anybody else except they don't know anything about the job. just saying that i've been around and i should leave -- if you got a winner going for you, and by any interpretation i'm a winner -- >> reporter: you're campaigning hard, though. are you feeling the heat a little bit? >> how can you feel the heat when everything's going your way? i'm not taking anything for granted. of course not. people say they're going to vote for me -- i appreciate that. i'm thinking about the vote.

hey. as a matter of fact, i'm upon ev not even tired. >> not even tired after 43 years in office. he says he's more fit for the fight than he was in 2012. he was battling health problems and had recently been censured bay the house for ethics violations in 2010. his opponent says rangle represent the district's past and believes rangle's time is up. >> the fact of the matter is in the last few years, you know, he got censured, he got stripped of most of his power. he's unable to deliver for this neighborhood the way perhaps he used to in the past. we need somebody that can deliver for this district. >> the most recent poll in this race, the new york one sienna college poll, shows rangle leading by 13 points which does sound like a lot. espaillat says his poll shows it's much closer. voter turnout is expected to be

low, making it harder to predict. rangle and espaillat say it comes down to how many voters come out on tuesday. >> it doesn't look like either are taking folks for granted, they are fighting to the end. alexandra field, thank you very much. police say the case of a dad whose child of found dead in a hot car is not at all what they thought it was. why police say they're adding up the clues. awesome, amazing, that's epic, bro. whatever happened to good? good is choosing not to overshoot the moon, but to land right on it. good is maxwell house. ♪ good to the last drop good is maxwell house. 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,

straight to work and then head straight home. well, that sergeant also says that he can't confirm if there was a stop before work or a stop after work. here's how they found out that something here was not right. they say that the officer started to question justin harris as soon as they got to the scene. some of the answers he gave first responders did not add up. now harris of arrested and charged with first-degree cruelty to a child and felony murder. he's pleaded not guilty, but we're also told there's a possibility those charges could change, possibly additional charge would be added. i also asked when will we get some clarity about this. and because we're told this is no public safety issue, no one in the public is in danger, that sergeant tells us that quite possibly as we get closer it a trial for harris, that's when we'll know what is, he says, shocking to the conscience. fred? >> my gosh. all right. victor blackwell. thank you very much. joining subcommittee attorney and radio host mo ivory. so mo, it is per politicsing

that there are already a lot of questions unanswered. -- perplexing that there are already a lot of questions unanswered. initially people might say negligent homicide, involuntary manslaughter. but these charges imply intent. what are the questions you're asking if you were his defense attorney? >> sure. first, the prosecutors, let's start with the prosecutors. >> they're going to totally figure out the timeline. obviously the story doesn't match up which breaks my heart complete leap. we're all so upset, but we want to think it was a father who was stressing out, who had so many life -- >> overwhelmed, forgot -- >> that he just forgot. even as hard as that is to come up with. you know, from a legal perspective as a prosecutor, the timeline, talk to the daycare. is this normal behavior. why wasn't the child dropped off? was there a phone call saying the child wasn't coming that day? the timeline is crucial for the prosecutors. for the defense, i would be trying to put together a mental illness defense, the stressed

out, was out of his mind -- >> immediately presuming that he simply forgot. >> that there was some kind of mental incapacity that made him forget that his child was even in the car. >> then what is a defense attorney going to do if investigators are implying that, no, intent was there. that perhaps this wasn't an issue of forgot but something malicious, something intended may have happened to this child? then what do you do as a defense attorney? >> well, then the charge may change completely. for the defense attorney, they're probably sitting and waiting the way we are, trying to figure out what the evidence is. there's going to be an announcement, and they're going to immediately start rallying around to figure out what this defense is going to be. if there was intent, they're going to have a hard time. there's another piece, the wife. all of a sudden, she's not saying anything. i think that there is -- >> apparently she was approached but told reporters i'm instructed not to talk. you want to know what is her story. >> right. i think the charges will change

from felony murder. if there is intent, it may end up being a murder one charge. i can't imagine they fathat a f would do this to rid their child, but we don't know what's going to happen. we'll be staying close. obviously there's more, and i was upset to hear that there's more. >> it is heartbreaking no matter what because everyone knows especially when you're talking about mid-to-upper 80s temperatures that no matter what you should always be super conscientious of the well-being of your children and your pets in the vehicle. and that you work so hard to make sure you don't forget something like this. >> this is not something that doesn't happen. it's not often, but it does happen. this is not the first case and not the first case in georgia that this has happened. even the governor put into training for people to know this is not -- what you should do in this weather. yet, still, that's why this story -- the first reaction from facebook was pray for this man, pray for this man, but people were saying not so sure. this sounds fishy. >> overwhelming, there are a lot of people who say it's hard to

believe, how are you going to forget your child, your 22-month-old in the back seat. you're talking to your kid whether you're driving constantly, reaching back, checking on your child. >> say you're sleeping and forgot. by the time you get to work, you have not remembered? by the time you eat lunch, have you not remembered? by the time you have your 3:00 snack, have you not remembered? now you're driving home and still don't remember? something is not right. >> right. thank you very much. appreciate it. >> absolutely. a new testament to the drugle for civil and -- struggle for civil and human rights is happening. we'll take you inside the country's newest museum that has people talking already.

joining us for our expanded conversation on the crisis in iraq at the top of the hour, how

involved should the u.s. be? we'll ask our experts, that's straits ahead, 3:00 eastern time. all right, the national center for civil and human rights opens in atlanta tomorrow. it's a museum using events of the civil rights movement and putting them in a global had thes -- global human rights context. we talked with some of the people who helped make it a reality. we will use the same -- >> reporter: bo connor and president johnson. >> therefore must be our cause, too -- >> reporter: together, part of a comprehensive look at america's fight for equality inside the national center for civil and human rights in atlanta. the $80 million facility honors the well and lesser known stories and faces of the civil rights movement. one of them, henry thomas. >> i was immediately impressed. >> reporter: thomas was just 19 years old in this mug shot. he was a freedom rider during the summer of 1961, demonstrating for civil rights throughout the south. his is one of many covering the

center's replica of the burned out bus he traveled on. >> there was a face now to those people who made that sacrifice 53 years ago. they're my heroes. i am proud of them. >> 40,000 persons already assembled -- >> reporter: the center filled with the images and sounds of the era and an interactive exhibit that mimic the taunting and kicking protesters enduringed during the lunch counter sit-in. doug shipman is the director. >> no matter who they are, we want them to feel inspired that they can stand a stand on whatever issue they want to. >> reporter: the highlight is the king papers collection. a rotating exhibit of some of dr. martin luther king jr.'s personal writings on loan from his alma mater, moorehouse college. >> these are handwritten speeches, sermons, his report cards from when he was a child. things that he carried with him throughout his life. >> reporter: however, what is not on display is now at the center of a king family legal

fight. earlier this year, king's sons, dexter and martin luther king iiird, sued their sister, reverend bernese king, after she refused to hand over her father's nobel peace prize and bible. the buyer was representing the center for human rights. had the center attempted to purchase the no bethesda peace prize and travel -- nobel peace prize and traveling bible? >> we had discussions on what maybe on display, but there's never been an actual offer. >> reporter: the reverend turned the items ever to court. the sibling will s will be beco court in december. andrew young fought for civil rights alongside dr. king and sees this as a vision for the future and the ongoing push for workers' rights, lgbt right, and global fight for women's rights. >> this is a moving spiritual artistic creation that
