tell you with antics like that, yes, you are. and you will remain so in the tw twitters sphere. stick around, because the best man in television is coming up, it's wolf blitzer. see you monday. right now, as the crisis in iraq escalates, a u.s. official tells cnn armed american drones have started flying over baghdad, saying they will be only used to protect u.s. military advisers who are on the ground right now. also right now, the iraqi ambassador says he appreciates the help the united states has provided but his country faces, in his words, an immediate threat from isis fighters, so iraq is turning elsewhere for weapons. >> i apologize to anybody who had their applications held up needlessly. >> an apology from the commissioner of the internal revenue service. but will that be enough?

hello, i'm whole reporting from washington. we begin in iraq, where armed u.s. drones are now flying over baghdad. that according to a u.s. official. our pentagon correspondent barbara starr's following all the late breaking developments. barbara, what can you tell us about these armed u.s. drones, what kind of missions are they fly, will the president authorize, for example, those drones to fire hellfire missiles at isis targets in iraq? >> at this point, this is not about air strikes against isis, wolf, that is what u.s. officials are insist. these armed drones with, indeed, hellfire missiles, are flying over the baghdad area with the mission to protect the 180 u.s. military advisers, with more to come, on the ground in the baghdad area. these are u.s. military personnel that are fanning out around the baghdad area, having a lack at iraqi forces, trying

to assess their capabilities, also looking at what isis is up to. the whole area is very dangerous. they are flying these armed drones overhead, they say, to protect u.s. forces. if it was to be an offensive mission, a decision to go with air strikes, go hunt down isis targets, that would require, of course, that air strike decision by the president. he has not made this. this, they say, is all about protecting u ining u.s. troops ground and their right to defend themselves. >> they're moving a lot more ships potentially with a lot more planes also into the upper persian gulf, not far from iraq, in case the president were to make a decision to launch formal aircraft strikes against targets in iraq. >> well, right, we are now at about seven warships in the persian gulf. dozens and dozens of aircraft and helicopters all over the area. a lot prestaged in kuwait just

in case. big aircraft carrier george h.w. bush still in the persian guflf. we're learning today another marine amphibious warship is going to head down from theed me trap ymediterranean, back to th middle east with about 1,000 marines on board. it's just every day putting more capability in the region on standby at least at this point, wolf. >> all right, barbara, thanks very much. the iraqi prime minister says he's not waiting for the u.s. to launch air strikes against isis militants. nuri al maliki telling the bbc iraq will strike on its own with fighter jets purchased from russia and belarus, saying, god willing, within this week, the force will be effective and will destroy the terrorists dens. how soon will iraq be getting these planes from belarus and russia? >> well, wolf, based on what the prime minister is saying, as you

mentioned just there within a week. the prime minister also directing some pretty barbed comments towards the united states, saying iraq was diluted when it cut that deal for american fighter jets. of course the great concern, especially among the sunni population. remember, isis and the other sunni groups fighting alongside it are effectively embedded amongst the population. is that prime minister nuri ail maliki is going to use his newfound air power to indiscriminately launch attacks against isis strong holds, yes, but at the same time, against the civilian population as well. so the potential for even more blood shed at this stage. these fighter jets arrive in country and be put to use is that much greater. people are, understandably, incredibly worried about what that development might hold. >> what about what maliki said to the bbc, that the whole crisis, in his words, could have been prevented, if the u.s.

acted more quickly to supply iraq with sophisticated fighter jets, what's he talking about? >> well, wolf, that's based on a rationale that if iraq actually had air power, it could perhaps have prevented isis from expanding and advancing so quickly, especially in the predominantly sunni areas in the northern portion of the country. and that perhaps the iraqi security forces up there would have stood and fought if they believed they had air power they could call in as opposed to abandon their weapons and go. the issue is the prime minister is once again failing to acknowledge the key issue here. at least among one of the key issues. and that is his own sectarian nature and his polarizing policies which his opponents are one of the key reasons why an organization like isis was able to expand so rapidly, capitalizing on sunni anger. that's probably where that rationale comes from, wolf, although it may not necessarily

have been the solution to iraq's problems. >> arwa damon on the scene for us, thank you. the crisis in iraq, the war in syria, sagging poll number, some of the challenges president obama is facing. it's no wonder he's relishing a dance to get out of washington and the presidential bubble, in the president's own words, the bear is loose. our senior correspondent jim acosta. seems to be more than just a little bit of cabin fever for the president. what is he trying to do here? >> absolutely, wolf. we saw this a few weeks ago when the president decide to go on this impromptu walk from the white house to the interior department for an event. he uttered the words "the bear is loose." he's been breaking loose from the white house grounds to make starbucks runs, to go to chipotle earlier this week, where the photographer caught him leaning over the sneeze guard, trying to interact with

people in the restaurant. the president wants to reconnect to voters. he's feeling a little bit isolated in the presidential bubble. we heard a bit of this yesterday, when the president was holding a town hall in minnesota, when he talked about feeling like a caged bear again. here's what he had to say. >> i've been really looking forward to getting out of d.c. but i've also been looking forward to spending a couple days here in the twin cities. our agenda's still a little loose. i might pop in for some ice cream or visit a small business. i don't know. i'm just going to make it up as i go along. with secret service, i always tease them, you know, i'm like a caged bear and every once in a while i break loose. i'm feeling super loose today. you don't know what i might do. >> the president is going to be

doing more events like this. this was a day in the life event he held yesterday outside of minneapolis where he met with a local minnesota woman, who's been struggling to make ends meet. the president trying to connect with her. they went out and had burgers before they had that town hall. in minnesota. and the president wants to do more of these. the white house says he'll do more of them throughout the summer, trying to reconnect with voters. >> all right, jim, thanks very much. the president also blasting a planned lawsuit by the speaker of the house john boehner, a lawsuit that challenges his use of executive orders. the president's blunt message to boehner, that's coming up. and refusing to apologize to congress for improperly targeting conservative groups. now he's sounding a bit more conciliatory in an interview with me. our chief political correspondent candy crowley standing by to join us. the latest on the scandal over at the irs.

turning now to the widening irs scandal in washington. the admissicommissioner of the issuing an apology to others whose application for tax event status were targeted unfairly. a contrast to his appearance a week ago before the house ways and means committee. that time, he pointedly refused to apologize. he said no apology was actually necessary. here's what he said yesterday in "the situation room." >> the improper criteria used to highlight organizations for investigation just by their name was a mistake. i apologize to anybody who had their applications held up needlessly. everybody needs to be confident that the irs is going to treat

them fairly no matter who they are. republicans, democrats, whatever organization they belong to. >> at the heart of the scandal are two years of missing e-mails from this woman, lois learner, who used to run the tax exempt division at the irs. those e-mails were lost in a computer crash. he revealed yesterday irs computers have experienced 2,000 hard drive crashes just this year. he also said 24,000 of learner's missing e-mails have been recovered. so far, none indicate any communication with the white house or the treasury department. when i asked him if the irs would accept a computer failure as a valid excuse from taxpayers if they're being audited, he sounded conciliatory. >> if you lose a document, it doesn't mean you lose the argument. we'll look at other evidence like the 24,000 e-mails. if we can find any evidence to support your case and, in fact, if the circumstances support your case, we'll support you and

you won't have any problem. >> candy crowley is joining us right now. what do you think? the pressure is mounting for an outside independent special counsel prosecutor to take over this whole investigation. there are so many questions still outstanding. is that going to happen? >> i don't know is the real answer here. in some ways, you can see these hearings this fall playing into some of the things that republicans want to have out there. democrats clearly are uncomfortable with this. in particular, they were okay up until now. the e-mails, i think you hit on it, the disappearing e-mails has struck a chord. i'm sure you've talked to folks outside this business would say does this mean we should get rid of the irs? there is a real reticence to what's going on here. even though the facts of the matter, as far as we know, has not changed. the investigation has not turned up anything that shows a link between the irs or the white

house or the treasury department. but there's certainly a lot of questions out there. so i just don't know if democrats see this as a way to get it kind of off the table and somebody can look at it. i don't know that republicans actually want it off the table. >> because it's a good issue going into november, is that what you're saying, so they can just play it and play it? the irs is a critical agency of the u.s. government. its responsible for bringing in almost all the revenue that pays for our national security, pays for social security, pays for medicare, pays for the vital services of the u.s. government, and when there is a taint, that there's some sort of partisanship, whether it was during the nixon administration or what's going on in the last few years, and you see the head of this division, this tax exempt division pleading the fifth, computer documents, e-mails, missing, people get anxious about that. >> absolutely. it brings up that old phrase it's not the crime, it's the

cover-up. this has been about where are the e-mails, why won't lois learner talk to the head of the division, and now we have the chuck grass liley e-mail where looks as though lois learner was suggesting there might be some sort of audit. so none of this looks good. and the democrats understand that. there is a lot of smoke here. it's almost impossible for are s republicans to see no fire. democrats are going, you're right, we'd be looking at it too. >> john koskinen only took over last november so he was not involved in this alleged shenanigan going on earlier. the president asked him to come in and take charge so he came back into public service. he did point out to me yesterday that the irs computer system, in his words, is antiquated. the irs has an antiquated computer system? >> right, and again, it brings up the whole thing. i think paul ryan was the first one to say it. you expect taxpayers to have all those documents and you don't

keep e-mails for more than six months and your system doesn't work and it crashes all the time. they will point and say, listen, our budget has been cut. the irs budget has been cut. it's still, you know, a very hefty budget. it doesn't seem like a logical excuse to anybody who's been told anything you put on the computer stays forever. be careful what you e-mail. be careful what you put out in a blog. because it stays forever. now all of a sudden things are gone forever. frankly, it looks suspicious. that's why there's been -- we sort of went for a while where we didn't hear much about it. then it's cropped back up because it looks bad. >> you'll have more on sunday morning on "state of the union"? >> yes, we'll have darrell issa on, to talk about where he goes from here. also mike rodgers to talk a little bit about iraq and intelligence. iraq on the edge. several significant developments today as militants press on towards baghdad. is the idea of one nation still

feasible? we'll speak about that with an expert. also, president obama getting heat from republicans who claim he's presiding over what they call an imperial presidency. will there so-called abuse of power act regulations resonate with voters? a lot more coming up. us. and for many, it's a struggle to keep your a1c down. so imagine -- what if there was a new class of medicine that works differently to lower blood sugar? imagine...loving your numbers. introducing once-daily invokana®. it's the first of a new kind of prescription medicine that's used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. invokana® is a once-daily pill that works around the clock to help lower a1c. here's how. the kidneys allow sugar to be absorbed back into the body. invokana® reduces the amount of sugar allowed back in and sends some sugar out through the process of urination. and while it's not for weight loss,

it may help you lose some weight. invokana® can cause important side effects, including dehydration, which may cause some people to have loss of body water and salt. this may also cause you to feel dizzy, faint, lightheaded, or weak especially when you stand up. other side effects may include kidney problems, genital yeast infections, urinary tract infections, changes in urination, high potassium in the blood, or increases in cholesterol. do not take invokana® if you have severe kidney problems or are on dialysis or if allergic to invokana® or its ingredients. symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing. if you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking invokana® and call your doctor right away or go to the nearest hospital. tell your doctor about any medical conditions, medications you are taking, and if you have kidney or liver problems. using invokana® with a sulfonylurea or insulin

may increase risk of low blood sugar. it's time. lower your blood sugar with invokana®. imagine loving your numbers. ask your doctor about invokana®.

the president responded to that planned lawsuit during a speech earlier today in minnesota. >> they're nothing doing anything and then i'm mad that i'm not doing something. i'm not sure which of the things i've done they find most offensive but they decide they're going to sue me for doing my job. i might have said i want to raise the minimum wage so sue me if i do, but i didn't think they were going to take it literally. >> meantime, the president is having to deal with the consequences of yesterday's u.s. supreme court decision that curbed his powers to make what are called recess appointments. on monday, the high court is set to rule on a challenge to obamacare. our chief political analyst gloria borger is here with me

right now. the supreme court really did give the president a significant slap yesterday, 9-0, saying he went way too far on these recess appointments, when the senate says it's technically in session, he says they're not. they all sided, including the supreme court justices, who are appointed by the president, elena kagan, all of the liberals, the conservatives, they said the president's decision was unconstitutional. >> it plays into the whole republican narrative. which we're going to be hearing more and more heading into the midterm elections about the so-call so-called this president wanting too much government in your lives, and what it plays into is the notion that this president when he gets stymied by congress does what he wants anyway through executive orders. whether it's on immigration, obamacare rules, energy policy.

this is what they're -- i'm told after talking to republicans they're looking at polls that show this question of overreach rates higher for them with their fund-raisers, with independent voters and with their base, than the single issue of obamacare does for example. this gives them a nice -- >> how do the democrats respond to this? >> the democrats say, look, none of this would be necessary if it weren't for republican obstructionism on every single issue. if you would let us, you know, have votes on things we wanted to have votes on. if you'd let us have votes on immigration reform. if you'd let us have votes on judges, for example, none of this would have been necessary. so it's a result of your obstructionism. watt court says is just because you may have a political or a policy gripe, doesn't mean you have a constitutional justification for pushing things through. so there is this kind of

tug-of-war, which by the way, wolf, as you know, goes on in every administration. this president has not offered more executive orders than previous presidents. he's offered fewer executive orders. there's always this constant tug-of-war between the congress and the executive branch and it continues. this time, the president lost. >> i suspect the supreme court decision will give the speaker john boehner some ammunition in going forward -- >> absolutely, and they're going to use it. >> stand by. we're going to have more political discussion. gloria's going to be with us. also ahead this hour, hillary clinton and jeb bush, possible contenders for 2016. we'll look how family legacy might affect their political policies. coming e ing up next, u.s. dron flying over baghdad. they are armed, those drones. is this the first step towards wro broader air strikes by the missile against isis insurgents? we'll speak to a middle east expert.

sectarian in nature. a prime minister who wants to preserve shia exclusivism. you've got jihadis capitalizing on sunni disaffection. you've got kurds protecting their own interests and going their own ways. how do you create -- the iraqi army collapsed. if you're an iraqi sunni, why do you want to die for nuri maliki? >> drones flying over baghdad, even if there are air strikes, in the end, will that make a difference? >> the reality is, we have to get real. there are no comprehensive solutions to this problem. there are only outcomes. the real question is can what the president is doing affect and shape an outcome that pushes it in the right direction. but i fear, as you know, iraq's going to get worse before it gets worse. >> it's going to crumble into their separate divisions, sunni, shia, kurd? >> it's already decentralizing. that was the reality frankly in '03. it's been the reality since

saddam was overthrown. and the pandora's box opened up. we weren't able, perhaps understandably, to control it. >> what do you make of the decision by the white house to ask congress for $500 million to train and arm moderate syrian rebels who are opposed to bashar al assad? >> i think it's overdue but it puts the united states in the position of trying to provide sophisticated weaponry in a very porous environment to groups whose interests may not be its own. think about this, we're going to be supplying sunni moderates with sophisticated weaponry, on one hand, which will weaken assad, but we may end upped striking isis targets in syria, which will strengthen him. i think all of this attests to the fact that we're going to have some very strange bedfellows in this enterprise. we're already cozying up to the iranians and recognizing a certain reality that they, in fact, are the most important external power on the block now. >> we learned today martin

indyk, the foreigner u.s. ambassador, now special middle east negotiator for john kerry, the secretary of state, he's resigned today, stepping down as far as the point man on the israeli/palestinian peace process. you worked in that area for a very long time. your reaction? >> i empathize and sympathize. i used to be a lot taller before i started working on this process. the reality is, you don't want to park an envoy, a secretary of state in a region or even give him a role when there's not much to do. the fact is, after a year of will-intentioned, skillful efforts on the part of the secretary, there's just not enough there to come to an agreement. >> he worked really, really hard. the secretary of state made many trips to meet with the israelis and the palestinians. martin indyk did as well. that didn't go anywhere. >> no, nobody ever lost money betting ger inting against midd peace, wolf. you've said that. >> it's a pity, so sad.

unfortunately, there could be the potential for two states, israel, palestinian, living in peace. it would be excellent if that were to happen. >> love to see it. >> let's hope they can get their act together and do it. stop sending your children to the united states, that's the message from president obama, as thousands of undocumented children crowd detention centers. the problem through the eyes of one remarkable woman. up next, the presidential race. could we see another clinton versus bush matchup? we're examining a family legacy affecting political policies. ups is a global company, but most of our employees live in the same communities that we serve. people here know that our operations have an impact locally. we're using more natural gas vehicles than ever before. the trucks are reliable, that's good for business. but they also reduce emissions, and that's good for everyone. it makes me feel very good about the future of our company. ♪

died of an apparent, an apparent, self-inflicted gunshot wound. a note was foundness ho in his . police are investigating the death as a possible suicide. mayfield was one of three men charged with conspiring to take photos cochran's wife in a nursing home and using those images in a political ad. l let's bring in our panel, gloria borger, our senior political analyst ron brownstein is joining us from l.a. ron, let me ask you first, this is a pretty tragic situation. it was a bitter runoff. what do you make of this? >> well, first of all, it's obviously a tragedy for the friends and family. that really is the first point. second, it's a reminder of how intense the emotions are at this moment in american politics. third, i think it is also a reminder that after some indications earlier to opposite, the cantor race and mississippi senate race reminded us there's going to be no quick end to the conflict in the republican party to what some call the

establishment, i call the managers and the populous. there is a real divide. we'll continue to see it fought out. most dramatically perhaps in the 2016 presidential race. >> gloria, chris mcdaniel, the challenger to cochran, he has not conceded. he says there were irregularities. he's threatening to go to court. >> right, he just yesterday charged irregularities and he wants an investigation. it's very difficult for me to see how this election is going to be undone. but it's clear that he believes he was robbed of a victory in this election. as ron points out, the emotions are really running high in that state. >> yeah, apparent suicide, it's really a tragic story, going on in mississippi right now. let's shift gears a little bit and talk about the clintons and the bushes. their family names represent political dynasties. for hillary clinton and jeb bush, future political ambitions could mean breaking with the past. you wrote an important article

entitled the irony of the dynasty in the national journal. explain what the bottom line means. >> the irony is that obviously the family tradition and the family name provide enormous practical advantages for both hillary clinton and jeb bush if they run in terms organization, fund-raising and name identification. the irony is each would be seeking to lead parties that have largely abandoned the policies that are associated with their family name. the new democrat agenda of bill clinton. the compassionate conservatism of george w. bush. each party has moved largely away from that because their electoral coalition, i would argue, has significantly evolved in the last decade and made the parties less receptive to the policy legacy that bush and clinton would bring to a race if they're in. they may face more pressure than they now expect to adapt themselves to the new dynamics in the party rather than the other way around, of putting their stamp and direction on the party. >> there's another irony here too, ron, which is that hillary clinton and jeb bush are more alike than they are different.

both of them understand what it takes to run for the presidency. they're both kind of the policy wonks in their family. right? not that bill clinton is a policy wonk, but hillary clinton is, jeb certainly is a policy wonk, particularly when it companies to education. the irony is if the two of them ended up running against each other -- yes, there are the issues of all the money they could raise and the name i.d. that gives them unfair advantages, i think you'd actually have a very serious substantive race. but jeb bush, as you point out, might not be able to get nominated by the republican party right now. >> well, we'll see if both -- or neither decides to run. if they do, could be fascinating. all right, guys, thanks, very, very much. in just four days, millions and millions of eyes will be glued to the tv sets watching team usa take on belgium in a must-win world cup match. so how are these soccer super stars preparing for the big game? we're going to hear from the usa

on this day in history, june 27, 1944, u.s. troops capture and liberate the french city of

cherbourg. it was a pivotal moment, signaled the end for hitler's forces. it's a dangerous journey, but what's more frightening is that they make the trek alone. thousands and thousands of unaccompanied children, mostly from central america, are flooding into texas through mexico. the numbers are so huge that u.s. facilities clearly are overwhelmed. they're struggling to feed and house those who are detained. president obama issued a plea to parents in central america. >> oh, our message absolutely is don't send your children unaccompanied on trains or through a bunch of smallers. that is our direct message to the families in central america. do not send your children to the borders. if they do make it, they'll get sent back. more importantly, they may not make it. >> one interesting statistic, the obama administration has deported more undocumented immigrants than any other previous immigration. 400,000 annually since 2009.

that's double the number under president george w. bush. but still they are coming. our miguel marquez is joining us now with the story of one remarkable woman who hasn't let her status slow her down at all. miguel, tell us about her. >> she has not indeed. the reason or one of the reasons that all these young people may be crossing the border is because of president obama's deferred action some years ago, allowing younger people to have status here in the u.s. legally. we met this woman who -- she worked for that. she took advantage of it. and she has not stopped working yet. how complicated have immigration politics become? >> they're extremely complicated. they change every day. >> gabby knows. brought to the u.s. as a child, she's one of millions of young immigrants raised here, acting, feeling in either way american. except -- she's not.

>> what do you consider yourself? >> an american. i'm from ecuador. i was born there. i acknowledge and understand that i don't have papers and i ask for the opportunity to be able to right that wrong. >> taking a cue from the civil rights movement, the top student with three degrees from miami-dade college came out as undocumented in 2009. now she's all in on immigration politics. >> we're still meeting at the hill. >> like a steely eyed washington lobbyist. her politicking done from her stoop. she plots and plans immigration reform. she's had a taste of success. >> to amend our nation's many grags policy -- >> reporter: in 2012, signing an order that allows millions like her to get dtemporary legal status, a division of the dream act. there's almost a feeling of celebration at this center today and trepidation because it's a

brand-new world for a lot of these people. now she fights for others. a trait she picked up on the playground. >> being the bully of the bullies in a way. hey, you can't be bullying other people. >> reporter: as a child, you bullied the bullies? is that what i'm hearing you say? >> not really but yes. >> reporter: in "documented" from cnn films, the story of vargas, the pulitzer prize winning former "washington post" journalist who risked it all coming out as undocumented. gabby pacheco plays a small but critical role. >> guess who my first phone call was, gabby. >> reporter: people like vargas, having the courage to face authority and say no more will eventually force change. >> he's a game changer and what is the immigrant rights movement. >> reporter: because of his powerful story? >> because of his story. >> so

his story. >> so there are millions out there like them, and for a lot of them, a lot of frustration, because while things seem promising while the president allowed for deferred action and become of legal status temporarily, it's turned into great frustration to see the fighting in washington today. wolf? >> is gabby at all hopeful that comprehensive immigration reform could happen? >> reporter: the short answer is no. they're looking toward more local or state measures in order to move their agenda forward. wolf? >> good report. miguel, thanks very much. and an important note to our viewers. don't miss cnn films "documented," the story of the pu pulitzer-prize wrong journalist living in america illegally, risking everything by coming forward, telling you his story. watch "documented" sunday night, 9:00 p.m. eastern, right here on cnn. cutting-edge innovation is creating one of the most environmental-friendly cities in the world, where cars take

people where they want to go. see the city of tomorrow. next. take 4 advil in a day which is 2 aleve... ...for all day relief. "start your engines" (water dripping and don't juspipes clanging)ncisco. visit tripadvisor san francisco. (soothing sound of a shower) with millions of reviews, tripadvisor makes any destination better.

...and let in the dog that woke the man who drove to the control room [ woman ] driverless mode engaged. find parking space. [ woman ] parking space found. [ male announcer ] ...that secured the data that directed the turbines that powered the farm that made the milk that went to the store that reminded the man to buy the milk that was poured by the girl who loved the cat. [ meows ]

the internet of everything is changing everything. cisco. tomorrow starts here. all right. so imagine the city with 100% renewable energy, producing close to zero carbon emissions. then imagine the city in the middle of an unforgiving desert, hot, humid, without water. erin burnett went just outside abu dhabi in the united arab emirates for a closer look at today's city of tomorrow. >> reporter: about 20 miles outside abu dhabi, the city striving to be the greenest city

on earth. >> i think the city of the future is going to be based on people walking to where they live, to where they work and to where they play. >> reporter: and if you aren't walking, city director tony malo says you can take a magnetically controlled car wherever you go. this is the car? >> yeah, this is a personal rapid transit. this is how you get around the city. driverless, electrical, solar powered. it comes when you want it and takes where you want to go and leave it alone. >> reporter: so it's driverless. >> yes. >> navigating the city is relatively easy. this is a dream of what the future could be. but is it really going to happen? i mean, is this going to be anything more than a demo. >> it's a model for open development. but it's really sustainable, because it's not only environmentally sustainable, socially and economically. >> reporter: fewer than 500 people live here. that falls far short of the original goal of 40,000 by next year. a goal set at the peak of the economic boom. right now, about 1,200 people work here every day, in

buildings specially designed to help reduce water and energy consumption by as much as 40%, according to city officials. you've learned over time with some of the successes and failures you've had, right, that zero emissions is a goal. but that's not reasonable at this point, right? it's just extremely low emissions. but there's some. >> low emissions. zero emissions has been proved to be very, very difficult. >> reporter: with more than 87,000 solar panels, the city produces its own electricity, offsetting 15,000 tons of carbon emissions a year. city engineers say that's the equivalent of taking 3,300 cars off the road in abu dhabi. and walking around the city, innovation can be seen everywhere. so you're looking at a wind tower, which is a traditional arabic design to cool, right? >> yes, absolutely. so you take a traditional arabic element on cooling, totally passive energy, totally sustainable. and then you use modern technology to make it even more efficient. >> reporter: the mass door institute is also partnered with

m.i.t. to develop new renewable energy sources like making jet fuel from the seed of a weed that gross grows here in the desert. this is obviously happening here in the middle of the desert. what you're trying to prove is much bigger. >> absolutely. globalization is the key issue for the future. not only because cities are going to attack global warming, we have to understand how to build cities that are low carbon. and that's why this city is such an important contribution to globalization and urbanization. >> very impressive. of thanks, erin burnett, for that reporting. back here in the united states, excitement is building for a do or die world cup showdown. it's team usa versus belgium. kickoff just four days away. and amanda davis joining us live from our world cup headquarters in rio de janeiro, brazil. amanda, how is the u.s. team mentally, physically, as far as

we know right now, preparing for this critical match? >> reporter: well, wolf, the day after the match is extra additionally a lighter training session. and we know today from the u.s. soccer website that the friends and family of the team have been to the training session in sao pao to watch yurgin klinsmann and a brazilian barbecue this afternoon. the match takes place tuesday. it's just a trip north of the coast to salvador. a much easier trip than some of the journeys the team have undertaken in the last couple of weeks. the challenge, really, will be to keep the momentum going. and one of the team, tim howard, putting in sensational performances so far in this tournament, he's been talking about how he stays in the zone. have a listen. >> the zone isn't sports-specific. i think it's when you're a competitor and when the game

starts to slow down and you read things quicker, i think you feel like you're in a zone. you know, i've felt like all season i've been in good rhythm with my club team, and i feel like it's carried over. so hopefully it can last a few games longer. >> reporter: wolf, this is going to be a tough ask against belgium. they're full of players who play across europe in the champions' league and the premier league. but the u.s. have gone from underdogs to the ones to watch. they have been surprising us all over the last couple of weeks. so who knows how much more there is to come. >> a lot of excitement over there in rio. give us a little flavor. i assume there's tons and tons of americans on hand. >> reporter: there are. it's absolutely fantastic. the number of fans with their faces painted and their flags waving who are all across brazil. those who have followed the team to their matches in rereceisivr

the fan fest on copia cabana beach. not a bad spot to watch football here. >> have fun there. thanks very much. amanda, i should say. thanks very much. that's it for me. i'll see you at 5:00 p.m. eastern here in "the situation room. "newsroom"with brooke baldwin starts right now. hi, everybody. thank you for being with me here on cnn. this is a tough one. could be now the first sign explaining why authorities are accusing this father of murdering his son. this toddler, 22 months old, who died in the back seat of this sweltering hot suv while the dad went to work. sources have confirmed to our sister network, hln's nancy grace, these work computers belonging to this father justin harris, are being looked at, investigated. and what's more, accordingo
