officials re-examine the data and minimum wage a major announcement about the surge. plus, world cup showdown team usa takes on portugal in three hours. we'll take you thrive brazil coming up. -- live to brazil coming up. first up, our special report on the crisis in iraq. islamist militants 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. two iraqi security official say isis now controls 70%, as you see on this map. among the towns, they've captured, rutba, just 70 miles from the borders of jordan and saw. and there are no other town or

even cities between rutba and the iraqi checkpoint on the border with jordan. iraqi forces still have control of the checkpoint, but they are not sure how long they will be able to control the situation. u.s. secretary of state john kerry is in the middle east to discuss the isis threat and strategies to contain the crisis. we have correspondents and expert covering all angles of the story. let's begin with nic robertson in baghdad. nic, what is the significance of these new issue sis victories? >> reporter: yeah, the significance is they now link safe havens in syria all the way to the outskirt of baghdad, quite literally the suburbs of baghdad now linked to those weapons piles to fighters by a main highway. they now control the euphrates river valley. and as we're seeing, they're using in to sweep through al anbar province. i've traveled through rutba many times over the past 20-plus

years. the next stop, 45-minute drive, is the jordanian border. a tiny iraqi outpost on the border there. that could fall any time soon. this is, you know, spreading the isis fighters closer to countries that have been outside of the fate until now. jordan and saudi arabia. also strengthening their hand in the country. they're solidifying their gain here. fredricka? >> then i understand there's a new development involving isis action in the northern town of mosul. what are we learning there about what's taken place? >> reporter: sure. one of the things that people have said isis is going to do is create these sharia islamic courts. we've seen photographs already, executing people, even putting people through islamic courts for thievery, cutting somebody's hands off, these sorts of things. they have these incredibly harsh islamic, their interpretation of islamic edicts.

and they are now applying them. they've told women that they have to cover up if they go out on the streets. they've told people that they can't smoke, they can't drink on the streets. now they've gone another step further. they have destroyed statues, three statues in mosul. a poet, a singer, and the virgin mary from a church. they have destroyed that. now this is incredibly negative, but people are saying this is what is going to sprit the military offense -- split the military offenses from the tribes. there's a wave here, tribes are supporting isis, they're not as radical as isis. over these actions a split might appear. that is something certainly western capitalists are hoping and planning to try and help foster more of that. >> all right. hold tight. let's expand the conversation and bring in a panel of expert in washington, ken polica of the brookings institution, senior citizen political commentary

charles blow in new york, and retired army lieutenant general mark hurdling from orlando, florida. first to you, general hurdling. how concerning is it to you that particularly in the town of mosul, as you heard nic describing, that isis members are trying to schett toing to and already punishing people in a brutal way? >> this is the operations, this is expected when you have an extremist group like this. this could be what starts driving their supporters away from them. they've gained the confidence of some of the other sunni tribal leaders who are disenfranchised with the iraqi central government, who don't like the shia domination government. now as you see the true portrait of isis coming out, i think you'll see perhaps some groups who are linked with them. whether it be a sunni trouble group, or as we've seen recently, a group of former

baptist officials in the town. they just won't put up with these kinds of things. it will take some time before the splits begin to appear. >> nic, one would think that this setting up of sharia law, this punishment would further intimidate iraqi armed forces. is that likely what will happen next? >> reporter: sure. there's going to be an intimidation there, and certainly we're finding the iraqi government is pulling all of its troops out of the sub sunni areas where they fell the mo -- sunni areas they feel the most threatened. the radical isis islamists are not going to stop at knocking down a couple of statues, even religious statues. in mosul they would like to take down the shia shrines in towns like samarra, baghdad, najaf, hugely important shrines to millions of shias in iraq and

iran, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims visit them. if they were to do that, that could trigger waves of sectarian bloodletting. it is an absolute flashpoint for that to happen here. isis has only just begun. as we heard the general saying there, they're just potentially beginning this phase of separating, isolating themselves from this sort of support that they've had on the ground from the tribes and other groups, as well. >> and charles, we've been talking the past couple of days about part of the plan, the strategy is to send in u.s. military advisors. they're not on the ground yet particularly because iraq hasn't signed the paperwork that still had has to come even though iraq made the request. now given all of this is territorial takeover by isis, do you think this is now changing the strategy, the possible plan that the white house is

considering? >> i think that part of sending in the 300 was in order to get more intelligence, right. so you can't really figure out what's happening on the ground using other people's intelligence. we have to have american intelligence on the ground that was part of the strategy of sending people in. it would serve the option for americans to use things like targeted air strikes or drone strikes. you would want to did that with american intelligence. the last thing you would want is to make a mistake using targeted air strikes using someone else's intelligence and then have americans -- america pay the p.r. costs for having done that. but i think the bigger issue here is what the general is hinting at before, and what i think the president has already hinted at which is that -- that the iraqi people have to decide what kind of government they want and how they want their -- the country to be set up and facilitated. you know, water kind of finds its level. and it has not found that level

yet. and -- no matter how we want to impose our vision of democracy on to iraq, iraq has to absorb that. and it its military has to absorb -- we can't even imbue a separate military with our own kind of set of character and bravery. we see that that doesn't even work. you can't train them -- you have to figure out who are you going to be, how brave you're going to be, who are you going to stand up to, and are you going to push these guys back on your own ground. this cannot be america's fight. >> kenneth, it seems that things are out of order. doesn't it seem the iraqi people can't even think about the next government because right now they want someone to stop the bleeding. >> right. let's be honest here. the iraqi people have no say in this. this is about a leadership on both sides who are doing thing that, quite frankly, the iraqi people don't want. we've seen the iraqi people, whenever they've gotten a chance, they have voted in favor of democracy, peace, against sectarianism. the problem is, what you see in these situations in iraq in the past and -- and present, but

also places like bosnia, syria, all of these places, it's the leaders. the elites on beth sides who have their own -- on both sides who have their own incentives for waging these fights. the iraqi people didn't want prime minister maliki to alienate the sunni population. he did it for his own reason. the sunni populace doesn't really want to fight. you heard the general make the point that the sunnis have a very big set of problems with groups like isis and al qaeda, they never wanted them. remember, in 2007 when the united states was ready to assist them, we had the anbar awakening. they threw out group exactly like this. the bigger issue is iraq's leadership. that's really what's come off the rails. >> we'll talk more about this. gentlemen, thank you very much. going to take a short break and done this conversation about iraq and what are the diplomatic options if any next.

u.s. secretary of state john kerry is in the middle east to talk about the threat from islamic militants in iraq and a diplomatic strategy to ease the crisis. jim shaud oh ciutto is travelin the secretary. what is kerry saying about the severity of the isis threat? >> reporter: fred, i have it tell you, traveling with secretary kerry and other figures, you get a sense of their sense of urgency and concern as this crisis grows in this part of the world. and there are two messages essentially that he's delivering as he travels from country to country, egypt, now jordan. there are other stops on the trip. one is that the u.s. and others want an inclusive government. the leadership in iraq has to make all the parties. the sunnis, shias, and kurds neil they have a part and -- feel that they have a part and voice in the government which they have not had the last several years, part of the root of the problem. the other thing is this is a regional problem, not just a iraqi problem or sunni problem, but this affects afield and the u.s.

here's how he described it as he of in cairo. >> no country is -- as he was in cairo. >> no country is safe from that kind of spread of terror. none of cuss afford to leave that en-- 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: no country is safe. a sobering warning. we learned as we landed in amman that isis had reached just within 0 miles of the or-- 70 miles of the jordanian border, pushing up toward syria, opening a corridor from syria toward baghdad and now jordan. you know, every day you have a reminder of how it threat as secretary kerry said, extends far beyond iraq. >> it does, indeed. do we know yet whether the military advisers have any legal protections to go into iraq? >> reporter: it's a remarkable question to be asking. the fact is we don't have that answer yet.

on thursday, u.s. officials were saying they were confident that u.s. troops that are already on the ground in iraq in the embassy compound, some of which are going to be retasked with this surveillance mission, they're okay. but that new troops were coming in, u.s. officials said they were confident the iraqis would give them that protection. i asked secretary kerry today do they have that protection, i asked other officials, they said it is still being worked out. still a question to be worked out. they say they're working it actively and believe the iraqis will get. it after all, t the iraqis who have -- it is the iraqees who have asked for help. still, several days after the president announced troops going in, they don't have that legal protection. going back to the status of forces agreement which was not achieved three years ago, that was the issue. immunity for u.s. troops in iraq. that was something the iraqis did not grant at that stage. >> all right. so it's a big question. jim sciutto, why is it taking so long? let's expand this conversation now. especially on the diplomatic front with our panel of experts from washington. ken pollock of the brookings institution, cnn political

comment tear charles blow in new york, and retired army lieutenant general mark hurtling, joining us via sky from orlando, florida. ken, to you first. what is taking so long? isn't this strange or is this worrisome to you iraq would ask for assistance, yet it's the iraqi leader who have to sign uf this piece of paper that we heard it described from the white house, it's just a matter of signing it, faxing, and done. why is it taking so long? >> it iraqi bureaucracy is incredible columbia inefficient. our form -- incredibly inefficient. our former ambassador said everything in iraq is very hard all the time. beyond that, the iraqis may be trying to figure out what they want these guys to see and not see. obviously, prime minister maliki would like help from the united states but wants it his terms. what he's been hearing from the obama administration is the administration isn't necessarily ready to simply let him do whatever he wants to do. for instance, i've got a very big question mark about what kind of a strategy we've agreed to with the iraqis.

i think the obama administration wants our advisers to help them defend baghdad. i suspect prime minister maliki want to drive into the sunni areas which would mean his troops and these shia militias driving into the sunni areas where there could be massacres. where there could be atrocities. will our troops be involved in that. those are some very big questions. >> big questions. then charles, you know, secretary kerry is asking these leaders in the region to help push for a more balanced iraqi government, more representative of sunni, shia, and kurds. but we're even hearing from countries that they're saying they're not even so sure they can trust the al maliki leadership. so we've got a big problem, don't we? >> that's a huge problem. and i think that particularly from our perspective, western perspective, american perspective, we often look for clear cut good guy and bad guys. and in this case it doesn't seem to be so clear cut. in fact, you could look at it as choosing among lesser demons in a way because there are no clean

good guys or w clean hands. and that is one of the reasons that americans are overwhelmingly opposed to reengaging in any way in iraq. and in fact, most americans believe that this current crisis is not the result of us having pulled out too soon, but the result of us having gone in in the first place. i think that getting over that hurdle both here at home and in neighboring countries about who can you trust and if you go in, you know, who is truly on your side and is there a good guy to be found, and can you trust that person is a real question that has to be asked and that people are asking around the world. >> then, general, will the diplomatic strategizing be equally if not more important than the military strategy planning? >> sbluabsolutely. that was our priority push in 2007/2008, as ken pollack will

note as he visited a number of times. mixingdentmatic with the military solution -- mixing diplomatic with the military solutions, that's the crux of the matter. to comment, though, on the issue of horrendous things in the future, they will happen. you have extremist in the sunni areas, you have extremist in the shia population. bad things will happen, and that's one of the things that as we take these 300 advisers and put them in harm's way, we have to consider. they are going to be faced with a very tough mission. they are going to have qods force on their flank, shiamish ayou're goi -- shia militia, sunni tribesmen, you'll have the -- all the various terrorist groups. it is going to be a very confusing set of circumstances. >> it will indeed. and it is already. general mark hurdling, charles blow, ken pollack, thanks to all

of you. appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. while isis militants continue their deadly march across iraq, innocent families are left behind. cnn's michael holmes talks to one family who says they have lost everything, that's coming up. ♪ touch down... every morning... ten times! not just... now and then. once more on the rise... nuts to the flabby guys! go, you chicken fat, go away! go, you chicken fat, go! run, two, run (running) (like a tortoise) okay!

violence for so long. >> the vast majority of people in iraq and all these other places in the west bank or gaza, they want nothing of the nonsense of war. they want what you and i want. we want to go to work, want to take the kids to school, want to go and do the shopping, and have a reasonable expectation that you will get home alive that night or have a them to come home to. and i just think it's worth remembering that every now and then, and we don't just look at this blanket thing of a bunch of iraqis killing each other -- it's not like that. there's a lot of unbelievable people there who don't want any part of this. >> michael holmes there. the u.n. reports that at least a million people in iraq have fled their homes this year alone. a new development in the search for flight 370. authorities will announce a new search area. what have they learned and when will the search resume?

right now. at the world cup, a huge game for team usa coming up in just a few hours. they go up against portugal, and if they win, the u.s. is guaranteed a spot in the next round after beating ghana in their first game last week. the u.s. will have to do it without one of its star players. jozy altidore is injured. portugal's superstar player, christiano renaldo, is expected to play despate his knee injury. and take a look at the baseball hat on this picture. does it look unusual to you? a little big? that's alex torres of the san diego padres. there's a reason for that new look. he became the first pitchish in the major league -- pitcher in the major league baseball to wear a protective cap. it is padded to protect the pitcher if he is hit with a batted ball. torres ordered the cap afterinarily getting hit in the preseason. australian authorities plan to announce a new search area wednesday for missing airlines flight 370.

safety officials have been re-examining data that could shift the search area hundreds of miles south. since the plane vanished back in march, march 8th, searchers have found no trace of the boeing 777 or the 239 people on board. meanwhile, malaysian police are denying a report in a london newspaper that the pilot is the primary suspect in the probe in to the plane's disappearance. cnn aviation analyst, mary schiavo is joining us from north carolina. and on the phone, from chicago, cnbc safety analyst david suc kri. what does the new area propose to do some is this good news in your view? >> well, it's a little bit of confusing news. the new search year means that they have docontinued to refine the inmarsat data. there was an area that distinguished gentlemen

reviewed. they say the area should be moved several hundred miles to the southeast. now we're hearing it's been moved south. but that does mean that the investigators and the searchers still have an open mind, and they're still refining the data. the flip side means that we haven't pinpointed the location. that's the bad news of the good news. but they're refining the data. and that's always good. >> david is, this an entirely new area, or is it an issue of incorporating an area that's already been searched but focusing on something else? >> no, it's an entirely new area. i met with part of the independent group in colorado about a week ago. and he showed me exactly where he felt the aircraft was -- had terminated the flight. and it's remarkably similar to what the northeast recommended to the -- to the search as much as a month ago. so it's very something to me that we've come full circle on this and taken some assumptions and the fact that they didn't take action when the ntsb had told them pretty much where it was and that now we're back into

the same location. it's maddening certainly for us and certainly for the passengers and the families. >> are you able to reveal, david, you know, based on what information this new search area has come about? >> yeah. i think there's two things that are going on here, and the most encouraging thing for me, it appears the independent group and australians ahn have come together on the model for what the data looks like. there were some errors in the data originally, and that gave them some mislocations. now the variance in the model seems only to be about two things. one is how fast the aircraft is flying and what altitude. the thought of it would maintain speed, but it doesn't. as the fuel is burned, if you're in a certain mode of the auto pilot, it will change the speed of the aircraft to be the most efficient rate. there are change in the speed of the aircraft. those were not colocongratulat d

-- not calculated in but have been now. the independent search area is south of the most recent searched area. and it's north of where the -- where the original search area was. it's kind of in between the two where there's never been any searching going on at all. i'm encouraged they may find something there. >> a new search area, what kind of equipment would be used here? >> well, they're going to do -- keep their plan of the course of to map the ocean floor first. so the chinese have had a ship there mapping, additional assets to map the floor first, and then they will deploy the submersibles, except they will be using next time subomers thabls are capable of operation -- submersibles that are capable of operations at greater depths. one the mapping is done, they'll be able to send them back in. they're still in the process of taking bids from private groups or private or not for private groups. but they're looking for an outside group to carry on that search with the underwater robotic vehicles. so it will be just a little different in that they'll have more to go on. so the -- the robotic vehicles

don't hit any underwater obstacles, mountains, et cetera. so many more months to go. >> all right. mary, david, thank you very much to both of you. appreciate it. >> fraunk thank you, fred. coming up, team usa taking on portugal in the world cup in brazil in a couple. hours. next, we'll meet american soccer fans who trekked to brazil to cheer on team usa. at od, whatever business you're in, that's the business we're in with premium service like one of the best on-time delivery records and a low claims ratio, we do whatever it takes to make your business our business. od. helping the world keep promises. wouldn't it be great if hiring plumbers, carpenters shopping online is as easy as it gets.

>> we're going to see the water and anacondas, hopefully. >> reporter: and at night, they've set up screens in strategic points across the city. this is in the heart of the historic center. it's right in the shadow of the opera house. this is where people come together to watch the games. more team usa fans turn up here, optimistic about sunday's match against portugal. a group of portuguese supporters a few steps away say they're keeping their faith in christiano renaldo. ♪ >> usa! usa! [ cheering ] >> reporter: i'm going to have to let these guys have the last word. [ cheering ] >> we're just going to read your lips, because we get it.

they are excited. but you know what, you have taken us there. we get the fever, high pitch. go, usa. i think they are not saying that. oh, there -- shasta's into it. yeah. go usa! very good. from manaus, brazil. a lot of fun there. taking on portugal in just about -- what, couple hours from now. the party's already started there. thank you very much, shasta. we heard nothing from what you were saying, but we heard your fans. we get it. all right. well, you could call this couple right here the oddest couple perhaps in washington. maybe not as vocal as what we saw there from manaus. but we're going to explain why conservative republican rand paul and liberal democrat cory booker are joining forces in the usa senate. what's behind this union.

they say politics makes strange bell e bed fe-- bedfell conservative rand paul of kentucky and liberal democrat cory booker of new jersey are co-sponsoring a bill that if passed would restore voting rights in federal election for nonviolent criminals upon release. it's called the civil rights voting restoration act of 2015. paul and booker are also on a

separate bill to stop the justice department from going after medical marijuana. candy crow she anchor of "state of the union," and our chief political correspondent. candy, you interviewed senator paul today. what's two bills getting passed? >> let me take the last one first and that is that as controversial as it might sound, to give rehabilitated ex-felons who did not commit a violent ability give their voting rights back to them is not all that unusual, many, many states do it. this would apply to federal races, that is, u.s. senate race, the presidential race. so it's not all that controversial having said that. it's a midterm election. i think it's a pretty uphill climb at this point to expect it would be passed this year, but rarely do things get passed quickly in congress. as far as what's behind it, rand paul, you may recall, has done a lot of outreach to

african-americans and he said, look, we have to change the dynamic in the republican party. he's expected to speak at naacp meeting in july in las vegas. he has helped open republican headquarters in minority parts of various towns. he's been to howard university to talk economics. so he really feels, he said, look, i have a lot in common with minority communities and i have issues in which we agree and one, he says, is this. however, it's very hard to take the politics out of this and he doesn't. >> it is opening the door for me to talk to communities. three out of four people in prison are black or brown for nonviolent drug use. however when you do surveys white kids are doing drugs at an equal rate and bigger part of the population. why are prisons full of black and brown kids? it's easier to convict them, they don't get an attorney.

in kentucky you lose your voting rights forever be i have a friend whose brother grew man ju marijuana plants, has a conviction. >> all right, on iraq now, you spoke with senaten tell against chairwoman diane feinstein, military advisers, gather information. was senator feinstein and the intelligence community caught off guard by the overnight advances almost to baghdad? >> i can't speak for the rest of the intelligence community but this a woman privy to u.s. intelligence, by her chairmanship and i naught to her exactly. i think most americans thought who is this isis? what is this group that has taken over a third of iraq? i asked her whether she saw

this, whether then tell against signaled that this was coming. >> i would have to say no. but i think it's a real wake-up call for the united states they want to develop the caliphate, they just about destroyed the border with syria, i think the president's doing right thing, he's being circumspect, but i think the most important thing that i can say today is that the iraqi state as a state is in danger. >> she made up her mind on u.s. air strikes in iraq? >> certainly thinks unright circumstances that would be the thing to do. she really is of the two lead guests, senator rand paul and senator feinstein, a republican and a democrat, respectively, she is by far the most muscular in this approach to this. she believes this group, isis, is a threat right now to the

u.s. homeland and needs to be dealt with. so, she would be supportive of air strikes. senator paul not so much. >> lots to watch this week. thanks so much. >> thanks, fred. straight ahead, world traveler spotted in the gulf of mexico. her name, katharine. and she's a great white shark swimming thousands of miles. the science behind keeping an eye on her next.

water with teeth marks etched into the right side of her back. as far as we know, katharine has not been involvemed in any of those attacks or others since being tagged. betsy, another great white, tagged in august, in cape cod, is now in the gulf of mexico. fred? >> pretty incredible. hopefully hunters won't take advantage of the information we're learning about betsy and katharine. thanks so much. hello, i'm fredricka whitfield. top story, two hours away from one of the most anticipated games ever for team usa at the world cup as they take on portugal, and if team usa wins they're guaranteed a spot in the next round. great coverage for you. lara
