e purest-tasting water. i need to find the receipt for that. oh yeah, you do. a dispatch just in. a late development. 25 soviet ships steam toward cuba. if the ships' captains do not >> the next 48 hours will be

decisive. >> right until the last minute, the first ship looked like it was going through the barrier. it looked like kennedy would have to do something more. >> the white house was on the point of being evacuated. they thought it was the early stages of world war iii. >> listen to the tapes. on the last day, you can hear the voices become a little more ragged, more urgent. >> at this point, i don't think we should show a weakness. president kennedy is the calm

voice. >> at the last minute, the soviet ships turned around. >> he has changed his position. >> there was an announcement from us that they would withdrw the missiles. and i said, the other guy just blinked. >> this is the day we have every reason to believe the world came out from under the biggest threat of nuclear holocaust since world war ii. >> for the first time, he acknowledged the presence of nuclear missiles. he said he would withdraw if president kennedy would promise

not to invade cuba. >> i welcome the commitment to stop building bases in cuba. this is an important contribution to peace. >> there was an incredible sigh of relief in the country and in the world. >> with the tranquil courage of the great leaders of democracy. john fitzgerald kennedy said to the world, enough. >> there had been a back and forth between kennedy a. >> in return, he removed soviet missiles from cuba. >> the conditions of the cold war had been offered in spirit

if not in fact. and moral has been raised throughout noncommunist world. >> this is perhaps the beginning of more understanding between our people. >> both sides said, we need to stand back and create more framework. >> ignorance too often abounds and the truth too rarely received. that is the most important topic on earth. peace. >> kennedy gives the famous peace speech where he talks about changing our attitudes towards the soviet union. >> the most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet, we all breath the same air, we all cherish our children's future. and we are all mortal.

>> kennedy waited for any reaction from moscow at all. then they got the teletype that for the first and only time, the peach of a u.s. president covered the first page of their paper. >> he said, you know what, let's give him the test entry. >> the united states, soviet and great britain, promise to test all explosions in the atmosphere, space and under water. >> they deal with the soviet union, same as the united states and so proud that they stop testing in global atmosphere.

>> man's reach for peace will seize to be a dream and become a reality. >> the nuclear test band treaty is really a truly great achievement. >> we will not forget that we made this clear for the cause of man's survival. under this treaty, we can and must still keep our defense of freedom. these folks, they don't have time to go to the post office

the people of this country are elated. all along the borders of communeism, we have unfinished business. >> mr. president, the headlines said they would try diplomacy. what other famous debacles have we dealt with in the past? >> we have to realize vietnam had been at war for 25 years. >> kennedy was dealing with vietnam as a second tier issue.

he was dealing with berlin. the final analysis, it is their war. we can help them, give us equipment we supported the south. >> it becomes known as the domino theory, then all the rest of southeast asia, they might be defeated. >> as a return from previous visits, i am encouraged by those

forces rendered to them. >> they believed they had so well micromanaged that crisis. the north vietnam he's were so very different. the attempt to solve this crisis simply didn't work. >> the government of south vietnam has been overthrown. >> we don't have another bay of pigs on our hand. >> are we winning the war against vietnam? >> winning? no, we are losing. >> kennedy says after he's reelected in '64, then he can talk about getting out of vietnam. >> it is difficult to believe,

it would have followed the same course had kennedy not gone to dallas in 1963. do we know what kennedy would have done if he lived? there is all sorts of evidence that he would not have done from lyndon johnson did. >> we'll keep our commitments. >> lbj experienced the same crisis, he had not come out with the same conclusions wednesday kennedy was gone, you gained one

who took it what went on with the new leader of the party. >> my father was shocked. his successor had just gone in the option direction and divorced all his policies. >> he had begun a new age. a thauing of the cold war. not complete but the beginning of something. things change. >> it was the beginning of rapid changes in our country.

in the end, we couldn't compete military but we could demonstrate we had a much better, attractive society. >> we want to let the cold war end. we want security and peace for all. above all, president kennedy, i am sure would regard in his best memorial that in three years as president, the world became a little safer and the way ahead became a little brighter.

we want to welcome to our viewers in the united states. we are looking at live coverage of an announcement with bej netanyahu and john bolton. the top agenda right now is iran and the situation in the middle east. let's take a listen. >> two of the greatest nations on earth. i hope this discussion will be fruitful and find common ground

and chart a path forward. john, let me conclude saying what a pleasure it is to see you in jerusalem. welcome, friend. >> thank you. it is a pleasure to be back in jerusalem to meet with the prime minister and his team. i appreciate his leadership and friendship and true and lasting partnership with the united states demonstrated repeatedly. although i'm here for a previously scheduled tri lateral meeting of leaders, current circumstances in the region make our conferences even more timely. i welcome the opportunity to welcome the deep cooperation at

this particular strategic point and continue to engage in discussions together. certainly, there should be no doubt under prime minister netanyahu and president trump, the united states/israel relationship has never been stronger. it takes strong leaders to make commitments in perilous times. the ous has recognized the capital and recognized the sovereignty and brought military cooperation between the two countries to new levels. these are not rhetoric but concrete realities. i'm sure there will be more to come. prime minister netanyahu with president trump and putin speak

well for the chances of success and align a number of security critical issues. president trump looks forward to meeting with putin in osaka where many of the same issues will be discussed. i hope we can lay the groundwork for those meetings here in jerusalem. as we meet, threats to international security in the middle east and around the world are on the rise. iran's continued pursuit of nuclear weapons. the threat to exceed in the coming days, the continuing build up could force capabilities in syria and iraq. it supplied drones, missiles and other weapons to hostile forces

in iraq, syria, lebanon, yemen and afghanistan. continued acts of aggression against israel, our allies in the arabian gulf, u.s. personnel and assets across the middle east are not signs of a nation seeking peace. neither iran nor any other hostile actor should express pru dense for weakness. no one has granted them a hunting license in the middle east. as president trump said on friday, our military has rebuilt, new and ready to go. by far the best in the world. sanctions are biting. more added last night. iran can never have nuclear weapons. not against the usa, not against

the world. the president said, i just stopped the strike from going forward at this time. we expect the new sanctions president trump referred to in preparation for some weeks will be announced publicly on monday. stay tuned. i'm delighted to be in israel again and look forward to our coming discussions. thank you. >> thank you. >> we've been listening to ben netanyahu and john bolton. this meeting was scheduled with russia as well prior to the tensions between iran and the united states. you heard there as both of these gentleman reiterated their support for one another, their close partnership and we heard mr. netanyahu speak out about

iran's aggression and you heard mr. bolton talk about threats to peace in the middle east he put squarely on the shoulders of iran and reiterated that president trump will be instituting even more sanctions this coming week. as you heard him say, stay tuned. >> let's go to our correspondent there in israel to talk more about this meeting that they are going to have. as i mentioned, this was a meeting planned before the current troubles before. >> iran was always at the top of the agenda to this meeting because of who was here and what they were talking about. the ambassador was to meet with the israeli and russian counterparts. given the events of the last few days gave them cause to the

reason. cultivate that relationship. now, given the events of the weekend, it takes on broader significance of iran and the broader middle east. in terms of what we heard in the opening statements, that is what we expected. prime minister netanyahu went through a long list of what he's seen as iranian aggression and what he sees as iran trying to devour the middle east. essentially what he has against iran and that is where this meeting will start. in terms of what bolton said. he basically echoed that. he said the u.s./israel alliance has never been better and went through what he sees as the aggressive acts. very much on the same page of

netanyahu. interesting, netanyahu made no mention of trump's call to call back a strike. bolton did go there but ornly right at the end. he kind of hinged. he pointed out that trump said he stopped the strike at this time apparently leaving the open-ended threat that another strike could be possible right before he would head out to start that meeting. >> we'll hear more about it as those meetings continue. let's go now live to tehran, iran and our reporter there covering the story from inside iran. there you have it, the hawk, john bolton who is known to want regime change in iran standing with netanyahu.

the message from these men continuing to put the blame on iran for the troubles going on there in the region. >> absolutely. of course, they would have a very different take on a lot of things. especially how john bolton was meeting about. iran does not have a nuclear weapons program. they have said exceeding the nuclear rich uranium. the u.s. pulled out of that agreement and other countries that signed on are still in it. other agencies have said iran is for now abiding by that agreement, we'll have to wait and see what is going to happen in the next couple of days. there is no secret tensions have

been flaring up, not just after the attacks of two tankers but after the shoot down of that drone. it is interesting to see reactions here in iran after president trump decided not to go through with that strike against iran. one of the things you are seeing is actually president trump seemingly thanking the iranians for not shooting down a man's u.s. plane. that has led to some surprise among the media and public. they also seem to be trying to tone things down after that incident happened. what iranians are saying is if the u.s. would have retaliated, that would have led to a massive retaliation from the iranian side. interesting to see that a senior general came out saying if that would have happened, it would have led to an unmanageable

situation. they are saying against iran, there is no such thing as limited military action that anything the u.s. does would lead to massive response. >> thank you so much, fred. and orin as well for your in sights. coming up, we'll talk with an expert on iran and delve into this even more. thank you. we'll take a break. we'll be right back.

>> welcome back to our viewers. you are watching cnn news room live. president trump said they will get iran to the bargaining table and in his words, make iran great again. they have no intentions of sitting down and will counter with regrets for aggression. sources say kim jung-un has received a personal letter saying the letter exchange is a positive design. 22 of 23 democrats gather. former vice president joe biden

there was criticized for calling his work with former segregat n segregationists. president trump's plan to impose more sanctions on iran. joining us now from london, chair of the london school of economics and chair of making the arab world. thank you for being here. we saw the conference with john bolton and prime minister netanyahu. saying iran is the aggressor. and they need to be contained. what is your thoughts right now?

>> sadly, i watched the brief press conference by israeli prime minister netanyahu and john bolton, these are the two war mongers. iran has done a great deal of harm to society and its neighbors but what we are talking about is a man-made crisis. this is trump's self-inflicted crisis. john bolton said iran has violated the nuclear deal. let's remember, it was donald trump who has violated the nuclear deal. he left an international agreement signed by president obama and six great powers.

iran, european powers, china and russia abiding by the commitments in the nuclear deal. even though they were doing a great deal of harm the basic decision to abide by its commitment with a nuclear deal. >> considering that, how do you characterize the situation as it

stands now. >> toemorrow, president trump will target the sector and also the european powers. what you have is the maximum pressure campaign that cripple the economy and bring about the campaign or two. president trump knows time is on the side. time is not on the side of iran. what we see is that iran is punching back. they are trying to break the status quo. iran is bleeding. the american sanctions or the american war against iran is really doing a lot of damage to everyday people in iran. let me give you an idea for your own international viewers. iran cannot now import materials

to make diapers for infants. the price of eggs, a basic staple food for the poor and lower middle class has skyrocketed. the wages in iran have no purchasing power, given the inflation and the collapse. what you have now is that time on president trump's side. iran does not have the time what we see, there is a real danger of limited confrontation in the next few weeks. this limited military confrontation could escalate into a large scale confrontation not only between the united states and iran and a nation-wide conflict. if president trump continues to exert this kind of pressure. if iran keeps bleeding as it is,

headed towards a violent storm. i do hope i'm wrong. >> there is a catch 22 here, they would squeeze iran so it comes to the table to say we are not talking with you unless they reengage on the nuclear deal. they were cooperating. it was president trump that says you are not and bailed out. is there any chance president trump could somehow come around to fostering a peaceful solution here and something he's decided to do such as kweez iran until it breaks. we don't see a window of opportunity. no opening at this particular moment. i'll tell you why. president trump, and i believe

him. i believe when he says, he does not really want all-out war. what is a very humble businessman. i'm using my words very carefully. he is out of it. he does not really know the world or iran. he's trying to abolish barack obama's legacy. so president trump has been fed by the two people you are watching a minute ago by john bolton and benjamin netanyahu who is very close to the neoconservatives. if you really wage economic war f fair, you will break the back of iran. that is the narrative fed to president trump and he believed

it. remember george w. bush also believed the same narrative basically fed to him by dick cheney and the neoconservatives. iran is not punching back or surrendering. let's make it very clear, iran has vested tremendous sources outside of its society. it has infiltrated iraq, syria and others. the strategy of maximum pressure might bring about war. all it would take is a spot. the iranians will punch back. they are engaged in a calculated engaged escalation because they want to increase the costs of trump's strategy, increase the

price of oil. we are heading towards war, even though president trump does not really believe in a military confrontation with iran. >> we are watching it hour by hour and day by day. thank you very much. good to speak with you again. >> coming up here, daily life is a struggle when your city is out of water. that is what millions face in chennai, india. this thing is beautiful. i love the lights. oh man, it's got a mean face on it. it looks like a piece of candy. look at the interior. this is nice. this is my sexy mom car. i would feel like a cool dad. it's just really chic. i love this thing. it's gorgeous. i would pull up in this in a heartbeat. i want one of these. that is sharp. the all-new chevy blazer. speaks for itself. i don't know who they got to design this but give them a cookie and a star.

court. up to 2,000 families in all in all of these cities on the map. on twitter, mr. trump says he wants to give democrats and republicans time to get together to work out the solution to the problem. he adds if not, deportations start. >> these are people who came into the country illegally. they've been served through the process of the courts. they have to be removed from the country. it is having a very big effect on the border. the people that came in illegally will be removed from the country. >> the acting director claims the media are to blame for sharing the details of the raids and forcing mr. trump.

an acute water shortage is bringing the city in india to its knees. the sixth largest city has nearly run dry. ground level waters have dropped. scrambling to find solutions hospitals and schools struggle to stay open. it is so sad to hear about the people and the women waiting for with their buckets for hours. it is very little. >> you see what they have to endure to get the simple, basic assets of life. that we all take for granted. >> there needs to be systematic changes in the system as well as several years of above average

rainfall. let's get to the graphics and talk about the details. there is some good news here. there was rain in many cities across india, including the west coast where over 130 millimeters fell in that region. good news there but maybe not enough. >> we expect anything up to 15

millimeters here. looking forward into the rest of the season as well as into the year ahead, there is a building el nino. how does that impact india, it takes the get stream and shifts further north away from the kourn continent. that dries out the country and warms up the temperatures. not good news. the current weather crisis is ranking it 120 out of 122 countries in terms of global water quality and the issue ongoing there. taking you to another part of the world. thiss in europe, south of france, they are dealing with another problem, severe weather. you can see they've been hammered with strong winds, large hail. we expect a chance of heavy

>> an estimated 400,000 elephants are roaming the african continent right now but in asia, there is only about 40,000 elephants and roughly a third of them live in captivity working for humans. some of these helped those in myanmar flee. in the new book, giants of the m monsoon forest argues, this type of work doesn't endanger the

animals but in some cases could benefit them. we talked about the effect it has on these elephants lives. >> in this region, this is a border area, elephants have these amazing abilities in getting across, getting a gross the mud, they sink. they have an amazing ability to get around. >> what is it about their

massive size. >> i think it has captured a lot of attention elephants are rather unique in that they've never been genetically bred. to go back and forth between the two states. we are talking about an incredibly adaptable species. it is something like having a trunk and the ability to yield

parts and tools making for the kind of natural partnership they aligned themselves with. >> you also write that humans that work with them have a close relationship with these elephants that work with them as close family. now everyone has seen the tear jerking videos. you write when a young elephant is recruited to work, it is excrutiating because it is taken from the family. are you advocating the relationship? is this wholly good for the elephant? >> that's a good question. you have some work elephants

that are born in captivity. some are captured directly out of the wild. in some of the more out lying, remote areas i was doing research in, the training in the early years can be pretty hard to learn about. i tried to keep watching directly at some what arm's length. and in some of the more government-controlled areas, the way in which training starts to happen tends to be more around positive reinforcement and around the positivity of the raining in place where, if not born in captivity but raised in

captivity. the book is intended as a work of scholarship. i try my best to be objective and report upon these human communities which are often times very overlooked. towards the last several chapters, i do begin to suggest there are a lot of things that they would continue doing. if we want to save the species and save the forest, we have a lot to learn from these groups. >> the name of your book "giants of the monsoon forest." thank you for sharing it with us. >> that is our first hour. stay with us. we are back to our top stories next and a developing story from israel over the situation with iran. we'll be right back.
