good evening. it is 8:00 p.m. in new orleans where i'm on assignment. tomorrow president obama will talk to reporters and the country about the nuclear deal with iran. the five permanent members of the u.n., plus germany signing on. iran agreeing to limit its nuclear program and provide access to inspectors and surveillance under a number of conditions in exchange for a step-by-step lifting of economic sanctions. it is safe to say, controversial in the region and here at home. even in the president's own party. only the we're looking at all the angles.

christiane amanpour. we begin with you. we'll actually get to her in a moment. we want to talk more about what president obama is facing even from long time allies. saudi arabia, no fan of the agreement, israel to say the least, no fan of saudi arabia. has long opposed all but the toughest agreement. israel's prime minister calling this a dark day. his cabinet unanimously condemning the agreement only the. i spoke with israel's ambassador to the united states, ron. president obama said today this is a good deal which he says would, and i quote, would cut off every pathway that iran could take to develop a nuclear weapon. what is your reaction? >> it doesn't cut off the path for iran to develop a nuclear weapon. it actually paves a path for iran to have a nuclear weapon after about a deck afld there are many problems with this deal. the first one is it leaves a vast nuclear structure in place. we were told a couple years ago

that the deal they were going to get is one that would dismantle iran's nuclear program and then dismantle the sanctions regime. what is happening here is they're dismantling the sanctions regime and leaving iran with a pretty big nuclear program. the second problem is that this is a temporary deal. the constraints that iran is agreeing to are temporary. the major -- >> there is a ten-year expiration. >> yeah. >> in ten years, the major constraint around the centrifuges is removed. the president himself. a couple months ago, the big fear is what happened in year 13 and 14 when the breakdown time goes down to zero? that's exactly right. you're putting tell player restraints today but you're freeing them to get nuclear weapons in the future. that's why we say it doesn't block the path, it paves it. and one last thing. it is the main problem. there is no linkage in this deal between iran's behavior and the removal of the constraints.

there's no linkage. four days tag president of iran was in a rally where people were burning american and israeli flags, channelling death to america and death to israel of wasn't four years ago or 40 years ago. it was four days ago. so iran has no incentive to change and you've just made the terrorism regime much richer today and you'll allow them after a decade to have a huge infrastructure to make many nuclear bombs. this is a disaster. >> continuing president spoke to your prime minister earlier on the phone and he reportedly. the united states would, and i quote, continue our unprecedented efforts to strengthen israel's security efforts that go-on what any american administration has done before. you've obviously been in touch with israeli officials. >> we appreciate everything this president has done for israel's security. and he has done many things. many things that are known about and many things that are not known about. we have a serious disagreement over this issue.

the president of the united states believes this makes israel safer. we think it endangers, it threatens the survival of israel. this is the spectrum between right and wrong. every with unin israel thinks this is a bad deal and our arab neighbors think this is a bad deal. when arabs and israelis agree, people should pay attention. and those who are most in danger, those who are most vulnerable, we live there. >> is there any way the iran can be a nuclear country in your opinion? >> well, we would like to see a much better deal. the prime spoke about it when he came to the united states a few months ago. one that would actually reduce the infrastructure, the vast nuclear infrastructure that iran is being left with. and one most importantly, anderson, that would link the removal of the constraints on iran's nuclear program to a change in iran's behavior.

if iran becomes a normal country, if they stop terrorism around the globe, they're the foremost sponsor of terrorism around the globe. if they stop that. if they stop gobbling up their arab neighbors and they currently control four arab capitals. if they stop working toward the annihilation of israel, then remove those restraints. if they're going to win the the terror, you can't put them on automatic pilot to have nuclear women weapons. that's a disaster. >> we had trouble connecting with christiane amanpour a little while ago. we have that connection now. you interviewed secretary of state john kerry today. what was his reaction? >> well, you know, the hotel behind me is now empty. kerry, zarif, everybody has gone away. now the big selling job really gets underway. they all said while the deal was

hard enough to craft, the selling and the implementation is going to be just as hard. i sat down with him as he explained why. >> secretary kerry, thank you for joining us. have you made history? >> well, people call it an historic agreement, i guess, because iran is coming to the table. and on paper we have an agreement. we don't have anything until this is implemented. >> what about the selling of it? >> before it gets implemented, how difficult would that be? >> there are people who regrettably have automatically, politically decided i'm going to post this. without even knowing or reading the agreement of without knowing all the terms of it, they're opposed to it. they don't offer an alternative. while we did that in the years 2000 until obama came in, guess what. their program went from 164 centrifuges to 19,000. their enrichment stockpile reached a level over 10,000 kilograms where they had enough

fissile material to make ten bombs. is that safer? is that what people want to go back to? or just straight to war? people have an obligation to define what is the alternative. you won't sanction them into oblivion. >> what do you say to those who say, well, okay, it is restricted them for ten years, 15, 25, depending on various issues. what about after that? are you confident that they don't rush to start up again? >> well, i can't make any promise about the long term future of anybody including the united states or any future president, obviously. but in life, you have to bet on, and in diplomacy and in conflict, you have to set up a structure and try to live by and it put it to the test. we negotiated with the soviet union. we negotiated with red china. we negotiated for years with

people we deemed to be the arch enemy. we know that we have unprecedented access through this in terms of verification. so yes. they get to do more in the out years. that's their right. as they clean up, supposedly, and become an mpt good country. >> final question. is this a strategic realignment? you talked about red china, you talked about the soviet union. you've seen this administration saying this is more than about a nuclear deal. it could redefine the balance of power in your negotiations. >> it has the possibility of doing that. it would be stupid diplomatically. to be diplomatic malfeastance if you ignore the possibility. we exclusively negotiated a nuclear deal. we knew that if we got into the other issues, you would never get to the nuclear deal.

in iran without a nack weapon, i think you know this as a matter of common sense, is better to deal with than an iran with one. >> secretary john kerry, thank you very much indeed. >> to one of the points that kerry made, so many people here have already made up their minds about this. and are putting out a full-out assault to stop this deal. >> reporter: that's absolutely right. not just in the congress but in israel and some other parts of the world. and what you heard him say, what was the alternative? they have an obligation to provide a real alternative. and all those people who are criticizing forget this started more than ten years ago. under the republican president george w. bush. now, it didn't work. there was ahmadinejad who was president no, will on either side to really get this negotiation going. but the idea, the concept of restricting iran's nuclear program in return for lifting

sanctions started a long time ago. and beyond that, he has said that there is a good deal to be had and of course, if it is implemented, it is a completely different reality that the u.s. would now enter with iran. forget all the other big issues that obviously they want to have solved. just as an arms control negotiation, it would be a huge step in the right direction to take tensions down and to stabilize. not just the relationship but the whole region. anderson? >> thanks very much. there's a lot more ahead including president obama's tough sell at home. congress gets a chance to weigh in. we have a late word on that, on the reception the deal zbegt so far. and later, our first up close look at pluto.

♪ helping protect that world takes state farm. there's a ton of reaction from the deal with iran. the mood in congress about this proposed deal. what is it? >> reporter: uncertain. and make no mistake, there is a full-court press at the white house in selling this nuclear deal with iran. later tomorrow, president obama will defend the agreement at a news conference. that will be hours after vice president joe biden is up on capitol hill. he'll be spending the morning briefing democrats. this global sales pitch has

begun. he's talked with benjamin netanyahu and the king of saudi arabia, and there are members of this administration. top members of this administration who briefed top lawmakers on capitol hill. the lawmakers have 60 days to review and block there deal. but the white house is taking comfort in the fact that much of that time will be during the august recess for these lawmakers. that pushes a likely showdown over there deal to september. and it is a showdown the president said he's ready for. earlier today he said he's confident this deal meets the national security interests of the united states and he vowed he will veto any legislation that prevents the implementation there was deal. >> can they override the veto in. >> reporter: they can, yes. but they need a two-thirds vote and that has not happened during this administration. the president has not vetoed many pieces of legislation so it would be an historic impasse if that were to our and the congress would need a big, big

vote. at this point, do they have the two-thirds vote needed to override a veto? no, they don't. one white house official told me days ago that this deal was agreed to out in austria. they don't believe the opposition will be there to clear that hurdle. the president likes to say that he will live long enough to see if this deal fails. now he will have that chance. >> thanks. the nuclear deal says nothing about the fate of four americans being held in iran including the "washington post" report reporter, jason. i spoke with his brother olly today. you have heard that the release of your brother and other detained americans should have been part of this deal. were you disappointed that wasn't part of a broader deal? >> clearly, every day that goes by that my brother is not released, i'm disappointed. we've always said that jason shouldn't be linked to any other activities, that he dbl have control over.

but you know, i certainly would much prefer to be talking to him right now than even with you. >> you were in vienna about ten days ago during the talks. i know you spoke with state department officials. did you get any answers on that trip? and would you speak to any iranian officials? >> we've talk on talk to the iranians a bunch of times and they haven't wanted to talk to me. on the u.s. side, i have contacts at state. we're in close contact. obviously, it was a very busy time but i know jason and the other americans continue to come up as they keep the discussions going. my hope is that with a deal being done, that those discussions don't end. do they escalate? and people on both sides of the equation realize these important. that jason needs to get out. he is innocent and has been now locked up for almost aier. with three days in court and 357

days in prison. >> and your brother had his third trial date yesterday in tehran. the timing, it certainly seems coincidental. do you know when a verdict could be reached? >> we're hoping the trial portion will end soon. hopefully within the next week or so. we don't have another date scheduled and we really have been very vocal. both within iran as well as externally saying that these delays are just completely inhumane. they're illegal by iranian standards. they're illegal by international standards. this doesn't have anything to do with u.s. norms. it has to do with their own laws. and they choose to continue to break them on a daily base i as they hold jason. >> and do you know how he is doing? what the conditions are that he's being held in? >> you know, what we know is that he is being held essentially in isolation. he doesn't get a lot of human

interaction. he is able to see his wife occasionally. when my mother is in the country, she is able to speak with him and has had some meetings with him. >> do you see any signs of hope? >> i think there is movement in the trial. it is slow but at leaf it's happening. for ten months, they did not allow jason to have a lawyer. it was nearly 11 months before his trial started. at least the fact there is a little bit of movement there. it is hopeful. we know that he has a strong case. we know that the evidence against him is naung exist ten. and that any fair reading, any fairview of the case would result in his acquittal. and letting him come home. and i think with the additional focus on iran and our relations there, i hope they take this seriously and they let jason come home soon. >> i appreciate you talking to us and i wish you and your family the best. thank you. >> thank you.

the brother of the 32-year-old woman who was killed in a random shooting on a san francisco pier this month says that donald trump is using his sister's death to score political points. kate steinle's death has become a focus on the debate over immigration. one that donald trump says proves his point about illegal immigration. the man charged with her murder is an undocumented immigrant who was deported to mexico five times. here's some of what donald trump has been saying lately. >> this guy that killed the wonderful young woman from san francisco. he went back to mexico. they forced him out. shot that beautiful woman. then you had the horrible tragedy in san francisco with the young woman who was shot.

with the person that should have never been here. >> here's my interview with kate's brother, brad steinle. brad, it's been one week since we last talked. first of all, how are you and your family doing? >> we're hanging in there. we're hanging in. there we're leaning on each other. and trying to keep kate's memory alive. and just doing the best we can to put one foot in front of the other. >> to hear politicians talking about your sister, i'm wondering, on a personal level, what is that like? >> well, it is a bit strange. i would hope that people would reach out and get our views and our input in what's going on. my goal is that we have something that is put together by like minded, reasonable people.

something that is fair and will be agreeable by both parties. >> can you talk a little more about who has reached out? obviously, donald trump is somebody who was talking about your sister early on. i'm wondering if he ever reached out or his campaign did and what your thoughts were about him, the way he talk about wham to your sister. >> you hear donald trump talks about kate steinle like he knows her. i've never heard a word from his campaign manager. never heard a word from him. it's disconcerning. and i don't want to be affiliated with somebody that can't have, doesn't have the common courtesy to reach out and ask about kate and ask about our political views and what we want. the platform that he is setting isn't exactly what our family believes in. we believe in the right for

people to come to this country with the idea that it is a place where you can provide a better life for your family. and if you're here, trying to obtain that goal, then you're in the right place. if you're a criminal, and you're here to sell drugs, commit violent crimes, you should be kicked out of the country as quickly as possible or single to jail. >> and i think for a lot of people, that certainly seem like common sense. do you feel, this is a hard question. do you feel like donald trump is using your sister? >> in a way, yes. sensationalizing it is not the way to go. >> so your message to donald trump would be what? >> if you're going to use somebody's name and you're going to sensationalize the death of a beautiful young lady, may be you should call and talk to the

family first and see what their views are. and go from there. i did send a twitter message out that said thank you for speaking out about my beautiful sister a day or two after it happened. that doesn't mean i affiliate with donald trump. i do not believe in building a wall or a fence on the border. again, it all comes back to common sense and being rational. that's not rational. it is not common sense. and it is just, it is so far right that it does not align with my views or the views of my family. >> the san francisco sheriff was asked if he would have done anything differently from the man who admitted to shooting kate. and he said he would tell federal authorities to do their job. i'm wondering what went through your mind when you heard that. that sounded to me like a bureaucratic response. >> it is insulting. that he looks at kate's death as

something that is entirely not his problem. not his issue. and the justification for that is that he didn't have the right piece of paper on his desk. if anybody else had that accuse for their boss that i didn't use common sense, they would probably be fired. so i'm insulted. and you know, it is back to the finger pointing game. nobody wants to take responsibility for the fact the system miserably failed my sister. >> i appreciate you speaking out with us only the. again, our thoughts and our prayers are with you. thank you. >> thanks, anderson. take care. >> he set up a fundraising event in his sister's memory. it is katesfund.com.

we have new images to show you, taking you along the route the drug lord el chapo used to

get out of maximum security prison. these pictures show the partially built house at the end of the opportunity that he used to break out. he crawled out of a hole in the shower. made his way down the tunnel and then came out here. he rode part of the way on a motorcycle. that's the motorcycle there. he's been, there's been no sign of him since his breakout. despite a $3.8 award. the first 72 hours after the escape are the most important and if he is not caught by then, he may never be. nick valencia joins me from outside the prison. what do we know now about his whereabouts? >> reporter: we know the authorities are being very tight-lipped. if they know anything about el chapo's whereabouts, they haven't announced it publicly. yesterday, the equivalent of the interior minister near mexico said pits likely that el chapo had help from inside. we know that more than 30 prison guards have been taken into

custody, being questioned with regard to this investigation and the director of the prison has been fired as a result of this escape. anderson? >> and there's going to be another press conference tonight from mexican authority. do we expect any new details? >> reporter: we're hoping. we didn't get much last night. this is to underscore and highlight how embarrassing this has been. he called a second escape by el chapo unforgivable frfrl locals we've been speaking to, there is a lot of criticism that we hear from the locals in the area and beyond. he was in france when he heard the news about el chapo's escape and he still has not returned from that trip. so we'll wait and see what the authorities have to say at this upcoming press conference. >> all right. i appreciate the reporting. the escape has thrown a spotlight on how drug cartels move will have the products into the u.s. here's a look.

>> reporter: this is the air system. >> correct. >> and this -- this would go all the way to the mexico side. >> it's not really done really well. it is just taxed. >> and then they had a power system that they would use. >> this is the sled on regular mining tracks. they literally had 1,700 feet. about six football fields all the way into mexico to bring it right into this area here. >> reporter: the tunnelers weren't exactly on target as they dug. >> i take it, they came up here thinking they were inside the warehouse and this is just outside the warehouse. >> you are absolutely 100% correct. yes. >> reporter: digging through clay, he is the mat, it took about nine months and up to $2 million to construct. >> they get one shipment through. it's worth it. you must assume one of these tunnels is always at some stage

of being built. >> we do. we operate on that. >> so we're 35 feet, 40 feet below the ground. >> correct. >> and this was done with pretty rudeimentry tools. >> absolutely. these striations that you see here are exactly the markings that a pneumatic spade, which is a handheld tool, would do for cutting in. the other tools we found down here, believe it or not, are a pick axe. >> reporter: tunnels like this ever more important in the drug trade as board security increases. >> we're pushing them literally into the jounld ground and into the ocean. >> reporter: miguel markez, cnn. >> it's amazing how much money is put into those tunnels. el chapo is number one enemy number one. they said his escape has to be

addressed from the highest levels of the government. so they control territory in mexico. why is he considered so dangerous in chicago? >> reporter: well, they consider him number one here because of the fact, there were two brothers. the flores brothers who turn evidence against el chapo and they believe he ran drugs all through the midwest. and there's a lot of gang violence. and they say he has some connection to the violence, the killings and it has really affected this community. >> and was he still calling the shots from prison? >> that's one of the reasons why people have it brought back. all the murders that happen in the streets, the fact a billion dollars worth of assets were seized in the chicago area they believe someone that powerful could reconnect easily. and it is something the city is struggling with, especially gang

violence. that's why you heard the commission stand up. the only other person who has ever been called enemy number one was al capone. >> and he was called this before, el chapo was. >> he was. and that was one of the reasons why he faces sevin indictments across this country. the fact that so many drugs flowed into the area. they wanted to make sure people in the public understand piflts not just happening in mexico. the effects of the tunnels and all the power that he has are surfacing on the streets of chicago, especially in gang violence where people are fighting over the corners. not just cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamine. up next, an incredible survival story. a 16-year-old girl alive after the plane carrying her and her grand parents crashed into the mountains. after two days, she apparently

breaking news about a young plane crash survivor. we just learned she left the hospital where she's been recovering. there are pictures of her having breakfast in her room. autumn veatch is her name. she's been called a hero for surviving a deadly plane crash and managing to hike out of rugged mountains where the plane went down on saturday. she did this despite being hurt and having to leave her grandparents who according to her did not survive. dan simon joins me now with the latest. >> reporter: hi, anderson. hospital officials confirm that autumn veatch has in fact left the hospital. she was discharged a few minutes ago. she's been given a clean bill of health from her doctors. she was treated for dehydration and minor injuries. one of those minor injuries included a burn to her hand. according to the sheriff, she reached into that burning plane to try to rescue her step grand

parent. she did everything she could to try to rescue them. we know that autumn level from a back exit at the hospital. apparently she is not ready to confront the media at this point. we've lernds some other details surrounding her ordeal. there was no food up there. no water. at one point she took a sip out of the creek but she was afraid that by drinking all the water there out in the wild, it would make her sick. the washington willedness. spectacular but unforgiving. no one knows that more now than 16-year-old autumn veatch. the lone survivor of a small plane crash that left this young woman alone and scared. she had to literally crawl her way to safety through this jagged and mountainous terrain. >> we're just impressed with her. she is a super who aro. >> reporter: it lasted 48 hours with autumn using every bit of her small train to trek some unknown distance in the dark and

cold. >> 911. what is your name? >> autumn veatch. >> this is the teenager talking to a 911 operator moments after being rescued. she had been driven by good samaritans to a country store. she was described as dazed. >> i was riding from montana to bellingham, washington, and about, well, i don't know where but we crashed and i was the only one that made it out. >> okay. made it out from the collision or -- survived. >> yeah. the only one that survived. >> autumn's step grand parents apparently did not make it mr. bowman, 62 years old, was. to be at the controls. >> okay. are you injured at all? >> yeah. i have a lot of burns on my hands and i'm like kind of covered in bruises and scratches and stuff. >> okay. all right, autumn. how old are you? >> 16. >> autumn stayed with the bodies

and the wreckage for about a day hoping help would survive. after a while she decided to make the dangerous trek into the woods. >> obviously she was shaken and distraught. >> for more than 24 hours she hiked. no cell phone coverage. no map. she said she followed the river down stream until it led her to a highway. >> she looked like she had been out in the woods for quite some time. >> the owner is also a pilot and knows the dangers of flying this remote region. >> just your classic jacket piece. >> autumn was taken to the hospital for observation and reunited with her weary father. who had spent what seemed like eternity wondering if he would see his daughter again. sandy didn't want it to be real. i just thought no. not until anything is confirms. i just didn't feel like she was. >> have search teams found any sign of her step parents?

>> anderson, they haven't. that gives you an idea in terms of the terrain that we're talking about here. we know navy aircraft as well as volunteer aircraft have spent the last couple days, searching that area and trying to final the plane wreckage. trying to find the bodies. at this point they've come up with absolutely nothing. they've talked with autumn in great detail to get a precise location of where that aircraft was when it went down. they've taken that information and they've refined the search area. unfortunately at this point they've come up empty. >> a lot of people when they hear the 911 call, they note how calm she sounds. >> reporter: well, the description that we were given as soon as she was rescued was dazed. and you can imagine that this is somebody who was very dehydrated. somebody who was hungry and was just looking to be rescued. and fortunately, there were some good samaritans on the side of the road who were able to put

her in the car and take her to that country store where ultimately, a call to 911 was made. you listen to her friends, you listen to the doctor. they've all talked about two things. one, that she has this incredible will and that she is and they say this really fits her personalty. anderson? >> thanks very much. search teams, as has been noted, are still looking for the plane's wreckage. joining me now, spokeswoman for the civil air patrol. jessica, you were the first person to call on the father to tell him that his daughter was found alive. can you describe the area where the search for the aircraft -- i mean, how rugged is it? >> it's definitely very rugged. that area is described as the washington alps. so it's really steep cliffs and very rocky, lots of tree cover. it's really a difficult area to search in, as well as fly in. >> and how do you go about

searching? i mean, is it a search by air? is it on the ground? >> we start with our cellular fre forensics and radar analysis team. from there, we narrowed that down using eyewitness accounts that had seen the airplane fly over. we narrowed it down, obviously, even further when autumn walked out of the woods. but we actually already has been flying over that area. she reported that she saw us fly over her during the day. so the cellular forensics puts us right on top. and her walking out has given us a really good place to search for the aircraft. >> so how long had you already been looking for them? >> i think at that point, we had been looking for two days. we flew 15 or so the first day. every time the aircraft takes

off and leaves space and flies around and returns. >> and a plane, i mean, when a plane goes down in that kind of an area, it just disappears under the brush? >> yeah, depending on the weather, a pilot has a choice to go above or below the clouds. so, in this case, we went below. and if you fly into tries, which it sounds like they may have impacted trees, the aircraft doesn't just stop there. it can break up and then smaller pieces under that. you're looking for very small objects. we need to know how to signal if we ever go down in a crash. so all of our members are trained on how to signal in that type of an emergency. >> so that's critical. if somebody is in a crash, to be able to signal with what? with a piece of metal or

something to any plane that's flying overhead? >> things that don't look natural to the terrain. so things that are not manmade are what tell us. you know, hopefully broken tree tops, that's something we look for. we might look for burns in the terrain. but as far as what people can do to make themselves more visible, it's going to be bright colors, metallic objects and open cover as much as possible. >> jessica, appreciate it. good luck on the search. we do have more breaking news tonight. a huge milestone in space exploration. nasa made history again today when its unmanned spacecraft sped passed pluto and its five moons. this is the first image beamed back. first-ever. remarkable. be right back.

we danced in a german dance group. i wore lederhosen.man. when i first got on ancestry i was really surprised that i wasn't finding all of these germans in my tree. i decided to have my dna tested through ancestry dna. the big surprise was we're not german at all. 52% of my dna comes from scotland and ireland. so, i traded in my lederhosen for a kilt. ancestry has many paths to discovering your story. get started for free at ancestry.com.

there's more breaking news today. an hour after the agreement, tonight we have the first images sent just a moment before its closest approach. about 31,000 miles per hour. jennifer grey joins me now with the latest. we're getting the new video from mission control. they just made contact with the new horizon spacecraft.

what do you know about their trip? >> well, the trip was long. i think that is the most important part of this. they have traveled three billion miles. nine years in the making. this launched in 2006. it was still a planet then before it was downgraded to a dwarf planet. so to see these people so excited when it finally made contact on the other side of pluto was just a really special moment to see n mission control. the average speed of this spacecraft, 30,000 miles per hour was traveling so fast that if it came in contact with something as small as a grain of rice, it would have completely ruined the spacecraft and the mission would not have been able to be completed. the fact that it made it over there in nine years without hitting anything was really remarkable. size of pluto, extremely small. 18.5% the size of earth. >> that's just incredible. was this the goal of the

mission? >> well, we just wanted to learn as much as we can about pluto. it is so far out, we didn't know very much at all. so in the past five days, we've learned more than we've ever learned before. we know that it's got the five moons, we know that it's got icecaps on it, we know that it's got an atmosphere made of nitron. and portions of pluto only sees a little bit of daylight every one hundred years. it has been such a mystery. and only a little speck out there in space until now we've seen some incredible images. and now that we know we have made contact, tomorrow afternoon, we will get the newest images and the freshest images we've ever seen of the planet. anderson? >> it is just incredible. and more pictures tomorrow, yes? >> absolutely. we are expected to see more pictures tomorrow afternoonment i believe around 3:00 eastern time. everyone is anxiously awaiting. and everyone around the world,

really, to see these images of pluto and learn even more. >> it's just incredible, the technology behind this. that does it for us. we'll see you again at 11:00 p.m. eastern for another edition of "360." >> trop on top. leading for the first time and it may not be the last. this is "cnn tonight." i'm don lemon. >> steven, you're fired. >> all right, device. why is steven baldwin a donald trump fan? also, the winner of his ms. usa pa jent tells me what she really thinks about donald trump. plus, the commander in chief is on a roll right now. and now he's got some tough talk for america on race and justice.
