mortar. much rather that ramadi won't fall but wouldn't be the end of a campaign, should it fall. not symbolic in any way. not what our reporter on the ground is saying. we have this covered from washington and baghdad tonight. i want to begin with arwa damon, who is in baghdad. arwa you have made your way toward ramadi. when you hear the chairman of the u.s. joint chiefs one of the most senior people in the entire american military say ram mad i did not central to the future of iraq what do you think? >> reporter: i think it's a fairly simplistic way of looking at exactly how strategic ramadi actually is. the 300,000-plus residents living there in sheer terror half of whom have already fled ramadi is the capital of al anbar province iraq's sunny heart land. a juncture the shia-led government has to try to win over the sunni population if it even is to have a hope of trying to defeat isis.

if the shia-led government and u.s.-led coalition are viewed as abandoning ramadi allowing ram dad maddie to fall to isis it will have a devastating blow to the need to win the sunni population and exactly why making sure ramadi does not fall to isis is so important at this same. the pleas for help from the civilians, from the commanders and from the officials in ramadi cannot be ignored, er.. >> obviously what you are saying heard martin dempsey wouldn't be the end of the camp pip pain should it fall. you are painting a picture of a city much much more important than he portrayed today. as you know, arwa president obama says the united states is making in his words, "serious progress against isis." you have seen the fighting over ramadi as you made your way to that key city. what did you see? >> reporter: i saw a population that was traumatized as they

were fleeing, children completely shocked in the arms of their parents, the elderly being pushed out by carts. speaking to officials inside ramadi a description of an enemy barrelling down on them that they are barely able to keep at bay, threatening the center of the city launching numerous attempts to try to take over the government complex. yes, there were some air strikes that took place that at the very least stopped that isis advance but the fighting force there is outgunned and outmanned and the cries for help are growing increasingly stronger. they need those air strikes. they need those additional boots on the ground to begin to defeat isis because, yes, isis what i have been defeated in tikrit but made significant gains in al anbar province, into the city of ram mad day not to mention the ability that isis portrayed when it moved into iraq's largest oil refine you were talking about earlier in baiji, managing to penetrate those defenses and the

fighting there is still ongoing, erin. all right, arwa damon, thank you very much. ar arwa and her fearless reporting on the ground. i want to go to jim sciutto in washington. dempsey spoke at his first press conference. you heard arwa in iraq give a very different readout of the situation on the ground right? she said they have made significant gains in al anbar province, she is talking about isis how important ramadi is a very different message than we are getting today from the defense department and the president. >> no question jeep dempsey secretary carter said today is that the trend line is positive. they will cite successes like taking back tikrit say they are making a big effort in concentrating forces to preserve the baiji oil field, which is critical, where ramadi is not. it is difficult to gloss over the loss of the largest city in the anbar province ramadi, and particularly in impression and to echo arwa's point of a

shiite-dominated iraqi government and shiite-dominated iraqi military not being willing to shed shiite blood to protect a sunni city here as you see those tens of thousands of people fleeing. that's real problem. secretary carter himself said today that this government has to demonstrate that they are willing to fight across the board, you know, regardless of sunni/shia/kurd, not something you are seeing happening in ramadi. >> certainly not. as arwa said you are now hearing someone on the ground saying they are making significant gains. the president saying they have had a setback. so you know this is -- you're not hearing the same thing. but jim, it is not just isis. al qaeda is gaping strength. something the secretary of defense has acknowledged. they have captured a airport in yemen we found out late today and you asked the secretary of defense about that. how significant does he think it is? >> i pressed him on it today. he said, listen, we have means in his word fighting the aqap threat. you have u.s. special forces no longer on the ground the

embassy closed no the just diplomatic but also a listening post, we talk about intelligence gathering. and you have a u.s. partner there in the government the former government of yemen, collapsing. those are three major hits to take against what is widely described by officials i talked to as the principle or one of the two principal terror threats to the u.s. that is aqap. when i speak to counter intelligence officials, they say, yes, we have lost capability there. they are concerned that that will allow them to better plan and execute attacks overseas and even if right now, aqap may be focused on its survival gaping territory that over time, that's going to give a greater ability to attack abroad. that's real concern to americans and to the u.s. home land. >> jim shoot toe, thank you very much. now "out front" retired jeep james spider marx served as the senior intelligence officer in iraq during the bar, you know this space, general. president obama said serious progress made on the ground in iraq against isis.

our reporter on the ground making her way to ramadi says isis is making gapes in this crucial al anbar province. what -- why are we hearing such different things? >> well what you're hearing from arwa is a very very precise view of one of the challenges that exists in iraq and i would say across the board there have been some gains, but this human tragedy that's taking place in ramadi can't go without some type of comment or some type of a response and you heard marty dempsey talk about it earlier today. so of course you're going to have some disparate views. it is how you define the center of gravity. where should the united states apply its maximum pressure to achieve the greatest results? clearly, we have decided ramadi could, in fact be a casualty as long as we can hold in other location and make sure those aren't lost. >> that will be interesting to see, interesting to see the impact of that given, as arwa points out it is the capital of the sunni heart land in iraq and so strat teenically important in that regard. thank you very much general

breaking news "out front" has learned that the volunteer deputy who shot and killed a unarmed black man in tulsa, oklahoma, may not have been telling the full truth about his train and qual bic cations that deputy is 73-year-old robert bates. he claimed he was trained to deal with active shooters in arizona, so we called that arizona sheriff's office today and a spokeswoman tells "out front" that bates did not train there this new detail follows serious allegations made by the tulsa world newspaper. ed lavandera is out there tonight. the case rests on mr. bates saying he was qualified to be there that day, qualified to have a gun in the field. one of his main contentions doesn't seem to fully add up.

>> reporter: there are many more new questions arising around this case and especially the training erin as you mentioned of robert bates. the sheriff's department here in tulsa isn't saying much. >> roll on your stomach. >> reporter: you can only see a quick glimpse of tulsa sheriff reserve deputy robert bates in the video when eric harris is shot and killed during an undercover sting operation. >> [ bleep ] >>. >> reporter: but how the tulsa county sheriff's department allowed about ates to work the streets is under intense scrutiny. the tulsa world newspaper reports that supervisors in the department were told to falsify bates' training records and at least three supervisors were transferred to other jobs for refusing to alter the records a sheriff's department spokesman refused to comment saying they don't respond to rumors. sheriff stanley glenns and other sheriff officials have repeatedly insisted about ates was properly trained. >> had the proper training and

all the techniques he needed, we feel he did. >> reporter: the tulsa sheriff's department only released a summary of bates' training courses the last seven years. the department rejected cnn's request last week for the full training records because the case is under investigation. but in an interview with the tulsa radio station, the sheriff ac no, ma'amed some of bates' gun qualification records are missing and the deputy who handled that paperwork is no longer working with the sheriff's office. >> we can't find the records that she supposedly turned in. so we are going to talk to her to find out if for sure he did qualify with those. >> reporter: earlier this week cnn obtained robert bates' signed same about the shooting he gave to investigators. he writes that he last qualified at the gun range in the fall of 2014 and has been taser certified for at least three or four years. then bates writes that he received training by the maricopa county sheriff's department on response to active shooters. maricopa county is run by the controversial sheriff, joe arpaio in arizona, but a

maricopa sheriff's office tells cnn that bates didn't come to arizona and certainly didn't train with us. >> quilt essential good old boy kick back system. >> reporter: the lawyer for harris' family says bates received favorable treatment because the 73-year-old reserve deputy is a personal friend of the sheriff. >> a number of records that the sheriff's office they just simply haven't come forward with them. and if they don't come forward with them it's a reflection that the training never happened. >> reporter: there are growing calls for an independent investigation into the sheriff's department. earlier this week a department spokesman boldly rejected any idea of outside investigators into the eric harris shooting death. >> we are not scared to prosecute our own. you know i will tell you, there's nobody in this culture that could be more tougher on cops than their up. you know that old analogy that you will eat your young? these the same thing in law enforcement. if we have a dirty cop in our ranks, we will dispose -- we will disclose them much quicker than the media.

>> reporter: we have learned sheriff has been saying public lit last couple of days he has reached out to the regional office of the fbi to look into this matter but we reached out to them and we were told by a fbi spokesperson here in tulsa that there is not a open investigation into this case. it doesn't sound like that call has been made or at least there's some discrepancy there on the sheriff's department here in tulsa and fbi office here in tulsa as well. erin? >> so many more questions to be anticipated. ed thank you. and "out front" now, clark brewster he is the attorney for deputy robert bates. thank you very much for being with me clark, i appreciate your time. i want to begin with our breaking news. in the statement that bates provided to investigators, he said that he "received training by the maricopa county sheriff's department in response to active shooters." the maricopa county sheriff's department today, of course tells "out front" they have no record that bates ever attended one of these classes.

is bates telling the truth here? >> yes, it was in washington, d.c. i have got a certificate that he attended. and that the sheriff lectured there. so i -- if you -- >> was it with the maricopa county sheriff's department or just a sheriff from the department? just trying to understand what the knew what happens is. sher saying he absolutely did not train with the maricopa county sheriff's department. >> oh he didn't. sheriff arpaio lectured in washington, d.c. at a seminar and he attended that seminar with other law enforcement officers for training. >> well he said that he received training by the maricopa sheriff's department on response to active shooters. that is a quote from him in a statement. so we called them and they said that he didn't. >> well it was the sheriff himself and he gave lectures across the country. and mr. bates attended one of those a few years ago. so what i'm saying is you said we learned today that he had misrepresented his training. how did you learn that with that fact verification?

>> we did. we called the sheriff's office and they said he didn't. so we have been talking about training. but i think at the heart of all this clark, it goes back to something more significant, two things more significant. one of them is his able right? he is 73 years old. reflexes slow with able. we all know that it starts much younger than that in your 30s and 40s, it is one of the key reasons most officers retire around 50. so there's a fundamental question here as to no matter what training he had, was he qualified to be there? >> let me ask you how long ago it was that we had a 78-year-old commander in chief of this country? >> also had medical issues. >> okay. but he was the commander in chief. you don't condemn a person that's 73 years old, that's mobile and fit, like bob bates, and his willingness to serve his community. and he met every training remmen he met every requirement. and he -- all did he was give of

himself. not only do you learn in training but you give by service, mostly crowd patrol or backup or documenting, a scribe -- >> all of those things make sense, but what about carrying a live weapon? getting at that very specific point here. no one is questioning whether he was there out of good intent. everybody knows he was there out of good intent and wanted to make a difference, but there is a crucial questions as to whether he should have been carrying a live weapon. >> erin you're in new york we are in oklahoma. it's a concealed carry state. these citizens believed in their second amendment rights. he could carry a weapon. he is a cleat-certified officer independent of this office. he provided service. he made an honest mistake. he owned it and confessed immediately, with great remorse. >> okay. so let me get to the broader point here. obviously, they are disputing that one point, but i understand your point, it is a lot of things. in fact i know he was required to have what was it 480 hours

of field training tulsa county sheriff's office itself department says he only had 300 hours of training the tulsa world newspaper, as you are very aware today today is reporting that supervisor at the sheriff's office falsified his training records, said he was certified when he wasn't. what's your response to that? >> well i have seen the affidavit that was submitted. it is a redacted blacked out affidavit, signed by a guy charged with first-degree murder in an adjoining county who hasn't worked at the sheriff's office in five years. i don't put a lot of stock in that report or the credibility of who would further they're report. >> what about this issue though of the training that the tulsa county sheriff's office all-in not one individual alleging this the office says he had 300 hours of training to be an advanced reserve deputy you need 480. >> that's false. the sheriff's standards are higher that the local standards in any other community that i

know of. he sets a very high limit on training. bob achieved that. the training hours logged here would be local training documented. the training that he received he attended classes in dallas washington florida and other states that are documented by third parties. >> so you're saying this it would add up to 480 hours? >> well it will add up to in excess of that because not only do you have the local training and the national training but let's focus on the issue here. he wasn't involved in any kind of vans detective or deputy work that day. he was a lookout. he was a -- blocks away from the scene. he was to be there just as a containment officer when the arrest was completed, he would come and help them take pictures. this is free service. this is -- the sheriff's office

has 127 reserve officers that serve for free. bob bates is one of them. he -- there was no training necessary under the circumstances of his duty assignment that day, except to facilitate and help. this guy after having guns draw up bolted from the arrest ran two blocks and then fought with officers. bates -- happened right at the side of bates' car, captured on video. he came out, tried to use a taser to subdue him and mistakenly had his happened gun, immediately owned up and confessed the mistake. all right, clark brewster i appreciate your time. thank you very much sir. >> thank you, erin. all right, now "out from the" next former nfl star forced to face reality in a maximum security prison. want to know exactly what life will be like in that prison. we are going to show you exactly. plus, the new family business getting rich off of reefer. how a basement project has one

tonight, a former nfl star's new life. aaron hernandez's first-degree murder conviction is only the beginning of his legal woes. he faces a second trial for double homicide charges for the shooting death of two men outside a nightclub, two civil trials as well as an appeal on yesterday's murder conviction. now the former pay the tree the i don'ts tight end who signed a $40 million contract is preparing to spend the rest of his life an hour's drive from the patriot's stadium in a state-of-the-art high-tech, maximum security prize up. jean casarez is "out front." >> reporter: convicted murderer aaron hernandez may be known for wearing number 81 with the new england patriots but now, he has a new number the massachusetts department of corrections. with his first full day of processing completed at mci cedar junction a maximum security facility down the road from where he played in the nfl,le next 30 days will involve placement tests, medical assessments and a full mental evaluation. doctors also will look at his

state of mind. he mouthed the words "you're wrong" after the verdict came in and told a escort several days before i'm gonna get out of here and when i do i'm going to get ahold of obama, tell him you should be doing security at the white house. hernandez is still awaiting trial for a double murder in boston where the motive prosecutors say was anger over a spilled drink. >> how do you plead this indictment? are you guilty or not guilty? >> not guilty. >> reporter: once her nap dez is processed, he will be brought to the correctional center where his actions will be documented 24 hours a day by 366 surveillance cameras, much like the video evidence captured in his up home that was used against him during the trial. he will be confined to a cinder block cell and can expect to be put in the boss chair or the body orifice security scaper. the magnetic rays can see contraband or weapons anywhere on or in your body. hernandez can start out with $30 a week to spend on snacks

toilet tris and even authorized clothing. a far cry from his $40 million contract with the new england patriots. but there is no limit to how much money hernandez can have in his commissary account. >> but he would be foolish to do so because other people who are poor you know will be very interested in helping him spend that money and buying them things. >> reporter: many jobs will be available to hernandez in time such as cleaning scrubbing, sweeping or mopping around the prison. but hernandez won't have to work if he doesn't want to. inmates he were about 50 cents a hour. and as far as doing what he loves, there is rec time even for someone in protective custody. and, yes, the prison offers touch football. now, the difficulty experts say really the most difficulty is the acceptance that you're never going to be free again. and the prison encourages visits from the family his mother his

fiancee, their child. you can embrace very quickly when you arrive you can maybe touch a happened. when you leave, there is going to be a strip search always of aaron hernandez and at 25 years old, aaron, he will never have a con jugal visit because that's not allowed in massachusetts. >> all right, jean casarez, thank you very much. now "out front" defense attorney tom mezzrow and legal a list mark o'meara, also legal defense attorney. you know, mark pretty incredible you think for a moment the fact he is 25 years old, what the rest of his life will be like. we saw how he conducted himself in court, mouthing "you're wrong" after the verdict was read. and -- built rest of the trial good spirits, talking to his lawyers, winking at his girlfriend you know always the kind of large and in charge i'm too cool for school kind of guy. so what does that mean for how his life will be in prison? >> his life is going to be much different. his celebrity that helped him out as an nfl player is now going to hurt him. one of the things that jean said

is very true. they are gonna know he is a celebrity and he is going to get targeted i think, because of that. and more importantly, they are going to know that he could have money in that commissary county and that maybe if they force him to have money in that commissary account, it comes back to help them. it is gonna be a huge change for hernandez. he will probably need to keep him in protective custody, at least for a while. we know he had some gang associations potentially before he got to the nfl and let me tell you, there are gangs in those prison systems and he may well have to get to something like that for protection purposes. >> yeah absolutely. tom, do you agree? it is interesting, some might say because of those connections, you know which we are not exactly sure what they might be but they of course have been reported that he would be safer, that he would be sort of a king of this prison but it sounds like from what mark is saying might be the opposite. >> it could be. i have had clients, when did a lot of gang defense earlier in my career they actually welcomed going to prison.

they said their partners would take care of them protect them they had their own subculture. i don't know how it's going to play here because you have alleged gang affiliations but you have a celebrity. so celebrities are targets, there are people in prison who have nowhere to go never gonna get out. if you can whack a celebrity, you can be really a man of status or woman of status, i don't think necessary for a fun time and i think the only way to really protect him is to isolate him and that can be a very very meager existence as well. >> and mark what about, as jean was reporting, you know he has got to go through these searches all the time and that chair, you know you get $30 a week. 50 cents a hour but you don't have to work. what is that life like from what you've seep? >> this is -- you know this is real prison. this is the stuff you see on some of the documentary programs that they talk about. there is no privacy. there are no luxuries. this is truly prison. he is never going to get out. they are going to treat him as a number. the prison system is whoafully

underfunded anyway. through the extent they have to spend more money on him because of his celebrity status he may not be a favorite of the corrections officers have to deal extra with him because of that and you are right. these type of strip searches and everything else they are going to do to him because of any interaction he has is going to be more of a hassle for the system and these people are not particularly sympathetic to somebody who is causing them more time effort and work. so it's both sides, from the guards and possibly from the other prisoners. tom, what about the issue he has now, an appeal and another trial for double homicide. he has all this coming ahead of him. i guess take the appeal for starters. does he have a chance whipping his appeal? >> he certainly has a chance. he had some very good defense attorneys who have an excellent record when it comes to success on appeal. i have to assume they raised every appropriate objection they come the problem is the jim. the judge is nope to be very fair to the defense. she excluded a lot of evidence

the prosecutors wanted to admit, evidence that he had shot other individuals, evidence that he had supposedly committed murder. and this judge is nope to be a fairly appellate-proof in a ruling. so i think it's going to be tougher because of who the judge was and the rulings she gave, but do you have good lawyers and always has a chance. >> mark what about the other double homicide? in a sense it doesn't matter right, unless he whips his appeal because he is already in jail for the rest of his life. >> in that sense, it doesn't matter. i can tell you right now the prosecution is going to go forward on that case and they are going to probably get a conviction in that the evidence that we know to date seems even stronger in that case that it did in this case that he was just convicted on. not going to give him a free pass because there is the possibility of an appeal, though i agree with tom, this judge insulated herself from any potential appeal by the way she handled the prosecution's case. >> thanks so much to both of you. coming up at the top of the hour anderson has an exclusive interview with some of the jurors in the aaron hernandez trial. make sure you stick around for

that. out from the next new video of the pilot, he flew undetected in restricted airspace, the most restricted in the world in a series of major security breaches. we have looked into it and the results are pretty shocking. plus the marijuana medicinemen, two brothers traps formed a budding idea into $15 million. raiser of blood pressure. disrupter of supply chains.medicine men, two brothers traps formed a budding idea into $15 million. tories. polluter. frustrater. time thief.

tonight, we have video of the man who flew that small aircraft, the gyro copter over what is supposed to be one of the most restricted airspaces in the planet there is douglas hughes, a florida mailman, flying his gyrocopter by the washington monument. there he goes. going to appear on the other side. there it is. making his way to the capitol, slowly but surely. so slowly but still so undetected. today, he wore his full postal service uniform in court, 'cause, of course, he was taking that gyro copter to deliver hundreds of letters to congress he said. he is seen in a new video here from abc news as you can see, wearing his uniform. he has just actually been wry leased we can tell and placed under house arrest in tampa. but his stunt is exposing serious national security

vulnerabilities and tom foreman investigates. >> this is not good people. >> reporter: from the moment that gyro copter landed at the capitol, questions have been rising about the pilot who appeared in court today. how was he apparently up detected by hundreds of security agents along the national mall? why didn't air traffic controllers or surveillance cameras spot him? some doubt his claims he fully informed authorities ahead of time. >> i would be stunned if the secret service knew about this and didn't say anything. i would be shocked. >> reporter: but this was just the latest security breach around central d.c. and came days after a map shot himself outside the capitol. since the start of 2014 at least five people have made it past the white house fence, including a toddler who slipped past a barrier this week. most of the intrusions were benign. >> everybody out right now! go back! everybody into the park! >> reporter: there was that disturbed veteran who charged all the way not what building with a knife before being

captured. >> this is unacceptable and i take full responsibility. and i will will make sure that it does not happen again. >> reporter: the head of the secret service did not get that chance. she was pushed out of her job shortly afterward. but then last month, agents returning from a party hit a white house barrier, creating another security embarrassment. in 2013 a gunman went on a ramp page at the d.c. navy yard offices, killing a dozen people before he was shot and killed by police. the next month, a woman rammed a barrier at the white house, a chase followed and she wound up shot dead near the capitol. [ gunshots ] and on the list goes from the dream that came down on white house grounds to the infamous party crashers in 2009. a lot of people laughed that off back then. but not nearly as many are laughing now. as for this particular threat of a low-flying slow intruder

norad says such things are very difficult for traditional radar systems to detect so washington has been experimenting with a system called j lens, it uses some large, tethered blimps and a different type of radar which might be able to spot something like this gyro copter but it's not in place yet, so the concern remains that at the moment there's a big crack in d.c.'s protective wall and it needs to be fixed. erin? >> it is stunning. all right, thank you very much tom.

secretary johnson has said he has basically announced to any copycat out there or anyone else with even worse intentions that if you do it this way, we can't stop you. you're flying too high to be stopped on a traffic stop or a roadblock or even a red light camera for that matter. you are not high enough to come up on our regular radar. so right in between, you can fly all around d.c. tour the monuments, do what you want and we can't stop you, we can't see you on radar, and if we did see you, i don't have any idea what they would do about it. and the new solution that's being proposed with blimps in the air, what will they do? even if you have these blimp in place and people on the blimp and they look down and say, look at that guy flying toward the capitol. now what? are they going to launch a missile from the blimp and take him out and everybody else that's out on that highway? you know i don't see an easy answer to this and i think that again, what's been said about the radar is not comforting. >> no it's pretty terrifying. of course could you have a

drone that could be you know loaded with something as they get more sew any fizz tick kated, by the time they did anything about it they dropped its pay load. >> just this case a couple years ago, the fbi stopped a guy who had a model aircraft with a ten-foot wing span that could carry 50 pounds of explosives into the capitol. luckily, the bureau stopped that case. another example. >> all right, tom fuentes. thank you very much. "out front" next they call him the willie wonka of weed. but this is not a fan it is a cism marijuana, with all the jokes that people make about it is making some people in this nation incredibly rich. we are gonna show you one amazing story.

back to the future, could it actual happen with a realtime machine? that is tonight's ida, tonight's series on new ideas. >> all ron mallet wanted as a child was a time machine it. was 1955, the year his father died as a massive heart attack and he was only 33 years old. >> i was devastated. i thought if i could build a time machine and go back in time and tell him what would happen and save his life that became an obsession for me. >> today he is a well-known physicist sand attempting to build a machine that may one day make visiting his father a reality. in his relative time of physical relatively he believes he can twist time. >> if i can twist time into a loop i can go from the future

back to the past. >> another way to imagine this, he said, is through a cup of coffee. the cup is empty space and the circulating light beam and the spoon is the light. >> the coffee bean goes so goes the neutron. and it pulls around twisting time and space. now if you are still scratching your head you are definitely not alone. for years he feared he wouldn't be taken seriously so he kept his dream a secret. >> if i wanted to get a job in academia and go up the ladder it would not be a good idea that touk about -- to talk about a time machine. so he built his career around black holes. >> they were considered crazy but legitimate crazy. >> and even now he faces head
