or a dip as it's called. then back into the dip just until we run out of gas. >> where we are further to the south in coronado hills area. that fire taking about 2. -- two and a half thousand acres. we've seen residents try and come back, most of the houses here are being saved, but the cocoas fire is about 70% contained because it's starting to move eastward toward escondido. a risk today. lower temperatures are certainly going to help the firefighters today. we've seen the marine layer return to the coast and that's going to bring a lot of humidity. janice dean will be giving some details in about half an hour and how it's going to help the fight today. back to you. >> thank you very much for that

update. appreciate it. well, the latest now on a story that continues to raise emotions and fury. a top va official bows out resigning over allegations of widespread corruption in our veteran's health care system, but that man under robert petzell, was already planning to retire this year. his resignation comes just one day after va secretary eric shinseki makes it clear that despite calls for him to step aside, two, he's staying put. >> i intend to continue this mission until i've satisfied either that goal or i'm told by commander in chief that my time has been served. >> a chorus of critics are demanding accountability, including those veterans and their loved ones whose lives have been devastated. molly is joining us now with latest. >> republican senator john mccain is one of those critics

who said today in the weekly gop radio and internet address that there needs to be a quote total refocusing of the va on its core mission of serving veterans. this as investigations have begun into treatment delays that vas in at least ten states. >> it's been more than a month since allegations that some 40 veterans died while waiting for care at the phoenix va. to date, the obama administration has failed to respond in an effective manner. this is created in our veterans community, a crisis of confidence toward the va. the very agency that was established to care for them. >> veterans affairs secretary eric shinseki, demanded the immediate resignation. the white house says it backed shinseki in this move. but the secretary himself says he's not going anywhere and has

promised the va will do more to improve timely access for health care. for now, president obama is standing behind shinseki and the white house says it wants to wait until an inspector general looks into what may have happened as these va hospitals. >> when allegations are made, it's important they are investigated to find out the truth behind the matter before we just assume what happened or was said to have happened was true. i'm not prejudging because i think we ought not to prejudge. i do think it's a matter of shinseki has taken and the president and white house have taken are merited. >> senator mccane says it will take many months for the inspector general to complete its reports and veterans can't wait that long. he wants the president and congress to do more now tho remedy problems at va hospitals. >> thank you very much. so, now, i'd like to hear from you. what do you think? is it necessary that the va

secretary to step down as a sign that the agency is serious about restoring its credibility? tweet me your thoughts. and we're going to show some of your tweets on air later in the show. turning now to sudan and the international outrage and pressure to free a pregnant woman who's been sentenced to death just because of her christian faith. protesters gathering outside the court where the 26-year-old received her death sentence. she will be hanged for refusing to reject christianity. abraham's father is a music limb, but she insists she was raised as a christian. in sudan, children must follow their father's faith. the judge has ruled that she will be hung as soon as her baby is born. her cruel sentence the being condemned by human rights groups and our state department. could once bitter foes, iran and iraq, now have a secret arms deal? photos of iraqi soldiers carrying iranian weapons are

surfacing on the internet. a deal like this would violate united nations sanctions. according to wayne simmons, any possibly agreement between the two countries would threaten the region. how much traction is there to this story that the two have a secret deal today? >> i think there's a great deal of traction. if in fact all of the intel proves to be true, i would without a doubt assure you that this is one of the worst possible scenarios that could have taken place that is the proverbial enemy of my enemy is my friend. in this case, we are supplying as all of us are aware, we're supplying iraq to fight various enemies of the united states and iraq. we're supplying them with $15 billion worth of military hardware including missiles, tank ammo, vehicles, m4s, m 16s

and we have sacrificed so much treasure and the blood to help win them certain amount of freedom, only to find out of course that iran has the same enemy now that iraq does and oh, by the way, that enemy also is fighting against assad, so herb essentially, we need karl rove's greece board to keep track of this. we have iran and iraq supporting assad because they're all fighting the same enemy. >> they've also extremists out in the western part of iraq as i understand it, that are against iran, so they're fighting together to try to tlaurt that group. >> and that's been going on for some time. but what we have, the worst possible scenario that's taken place is that the elections in iraq have happened. they will announce hopefully, the winner of those elections including maliki and whoever else is involved on the 25th of may. the problem is, it doesn't look like there's going to be a clear

winner, so, we have which many of us have thought, a country, iraq, dropping into civil war. iran making a very, very smart, very tactical and strategic move into iraq by supplying them with weapons, which allows them to defeat the same enemy that is coming against assad. absolutely the worst possible scenario. >> how do we know that some of our equipment isn't getting into the hands of iranian and what can the u.s. really do to iraq at this point to bring pressure on that country to stop it? >> there's nothing that we can do to stop it. we know already that hillary clinton is a responsible for half a billion dollars of weapons into the hands of al-qaeda. that's a fact. that just became known a couple of three weeks ago, so, for anyone to think that the department of state is going to step in and have anything to say about whether or not our weapons

are also being transferred to iran is also a joke. we know also and this is very important, that the only way that weapons transfer could have taken place from iran to iraq is that maliki had to okay it, number one, and number two, it had to be either the defense minister, the ministry of defense or the ministry of interior to okay that transfer. no one is okay of obama, the department of state. no one cares about the united nations. this is bad, bad scenario for us. >> it's unbelievable. i want to shift gears antd talk to you about reports which show that the white house knew that osama bin laden had some type of tie or communication with bokboka boka harran. can you elaborate on this? >> many of us have known that for some time. this is when it starts dripping out today, most of us are really

kind of no kidding. and we don't mean to be flip about it, but we've known for this some time. so, osama bin laden, the net work, al-qaeda, has had these types of contacts throughout africa. africa is overwhelmed and becoming more overwhelmed every day by islamic jihad and by jih jihadis, so we knew it, yes. >> doesn't explain why then mrs. clinton would not have design e designated them as a terrorist organization at a time when she was being urged to do so. >> anyone that can answer that is her. like you, it makes no sense. we do not understand. we know what they were doing. we know they were volatile. we know they were doing the same things then as they are today. slaughtering innocent men, women

and children and yet, she refeezed, hillary clinton, refused to put them on the terrorist watch list. so, but it took us years to get the mek off the terrorist watch list they were put on wii bill clinton. nek of course is an ally in helping us, we couldn't get them off of the watch list, but they would not put true terrorists, we have pictures of them slaughtering men, women and children, we couldn't get them on that watch list. the only one that can answer that is hillary clinton. >> wayne simmons, one of the best giving us insights. we appreciate it. well, today is a special one. it's armed forces day. a time to say thank you to our brave men and women in uniform. we know many of you at home have family serving in the military. we invite you to tweet them and

ever since the u.s. slapped sanctions against ukraine, there were real fears that russia would retaliate against the u.s. space program and now, it's happened happened. how damaging is it with russia saying the future cooperation with the space station will be ending by 2020 and is it going to bar washington from using russian made rocket engines to launch military satellites? >> i think the important thing to realize here is that the international space station partnership, the agreements that have been made amongst the partners only go to 2020. so the russians are not saying are going to live up to any of the commitments they've made. there are discussions about bringing the operation of the space station beyond 2020. there's talk about 2024. but you know, having said that, inn it's important to also realize there's a lot of noise on both sides and there's an attempt to you know, the space

station program, the space station itself rises above most literally and figuratively above problems on the earth. there's an attempt to drag that back down and the danger we run is that we are potentially sacrificing something that works really, really well. the international space station partnership and using that as leverage to apply to something that doesn't work very well. i think that's a little short sided and very counterproductive, potentially. >> sense tince the end of the ys nates have been forced to hitch a ride on russian made space station craft. this move seems deplorable and that the scenario didn't have to happen. over the years, the commitment of space has waned and we're now paying a price, someone who has deep ties to nasa, how upset are you that this is where we are

right now? >> i've had the opportunity to fly on both the russian space shuttle and the soyuz. that's a shortfall that we have to overcome very, very rapidly, but make no mistake, it is in the u.s.'s best interest and in the interest of our international partners to continue a strong partnership in space with russia. this is a partnership that has been built over many decades now and has survived through a lot of trials and tribulations and crisis. we've had a fire on the space station with an american on board. a collision with a craft that caused a -- nearly losing the crew. we've gone through these things together. we've built trust up together and there were many people who thought that after columbia, the russians woud basically stick it

to us. but when we lost columbia, it wasn't an us and them thing. it was an us. and the international space station, history's going to prove its value in the improvements to life on earth through the sciences on board, but i think more important than that is the partnership itself. once we get the capability to launch from u.s. soil, i think it is in the long-term best interest to continue that partnership with russia and expand that to other nations. >> you sound very optimistic and hope that that that partnership can be restored to a point where it can go beyond the year 2020. can the u.s. take the lead again with private companies, i've spoke recently with buzz aldrin who says we shouldn't have excluded china for example as a partner this space and that we

should be courts that company to help the u.s. do you agree? >> yeah, i agree very much that we should be courts many programs. the chinese are going to do big things in space and we'll be able to see what they're doing this space, but we don't know why they're doing it unless we're doing it with them. and so, what we need to do is find these things that we can agree on, like space. we need to start working together, which builds personal relationship, trust and then we can do great things together and then the trick is to be able to use that process to try and work on the things that we don't agree on, so what we're doing now is the exact opposite, we're talking something we agree on and averaging it to try and force something. we're trying to cease doing what works in a futile attempt. >> and you're also up against congress though because congress has to appropriate the money. what's it going to do to take,

to get congress to get back into game? >> right. for about the last three year, nasa has been proposing budgets to reinstate the capability to launch people into space and each time, it's been about 50% funded or so, so until we make a commitment, it's going to be a long time out. we're on a path for launching in 2017 potentially, but we have to get funding from congress and that has not yet been seen to the levels that need to be. >> on a personal note, you've been part of the space program at its peak in some of the best moments. what is it like personally to know nasa is going through this real tough adjustment period and the americans are having to hitch a ride with the russians

and the fact that's being threatened. >> i don't think that's been threatened. i think that's being threatened after 2020. it's a strong partnership. i want to see u.s. capability to launch from space as much anybody else, but let's not lose sight of this amazing thing right now. the international space station has been nominated for a nobel peace prize for a good reason. we have this amazing complex, this amaze l accomplishment of humanity that we all built together, the 15 nation. we have a lot to be proud of. we have a long road ahead of us, a lot to do and by working together, we'll be able to do that a lot faster and more efficiently than if we try to just go it alone. >> ron, thank you so much for joining us. i know you remain optimistic. certainly, there are a lot of challenges to overcome, particularly the politics of what's going on. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. former vice president dick
