9:05 am
>> we keep moving from our initial position, the 5 plus one. there's a concern the administration cares more about making a deal versus the right deal. i think you know that one of the things that brought iran to the table for the mandated sections. >> cia director speaking on fox news sunday today hinted that the u.s. has a number of options, presumably that it could keep iran from getting a bomb. >> there are a number of things that the united states has available to it to prevent iran from getting a bomb. president obama has made it clear we are going to prevent iran from having a tine of nuclear weapon that they were maybe going on the track to obtain. if they decided to go down that rout, they know that they will do so at their material. >> and another congressional obstacle on friday.
9:06 am
graham threatened to cut off funding. a lot of players at work. arthel, back to you. >> doug, thanks a lot. >> arthel, one of the biggest issues in the nuclear talks at the so-called break out time. how fast iran could build an atomic bomb if it decides to break away from any possible deal. cia director also insitsed that we could detect a possible iranian nuclear bomb before they start to build one. >> i am confident that our intelligence capabilities are robust. that we have a good understanding of what their nuclear program entails. >> president obama says the u.s. will insist on full intrusive inspections that the iranian have hidden their work in the past, and they say it must include a complete ban.
9:07 am
joining us is a fox news contributor. ambassador, how can we tell with iran may start building a bomb? >> i don't think we can be confident. i think the cia director is just kidding himself if he thinks we have the capabilities we need. first, the iranians have frustrated thee international atomic energy agency for decades now. and there simply is no authority that the iaea currently has or there's any indication this deal will give them to do any time anywhere inspections. certainly u.s. intelligence capabilities have greater resources but the iranians time and time again have built facilities that we've learned about after the fact. remember the famous reactor being built by nae in syria which the israelis destroyed in 2007. we didn't know about that.
9:08 am
the israelis found out about it. i have no confidence we have a good baseline now and i don't have complete confidence to know that we'll know when they break out. >> they hid one in a mountain. and of course there's the military complex. the u.n. inspectors are not even allowed to go and inspect parchin where it's suspected there was nuclear weapons. if he wants intrusive inspections how do we know they'll inspect everything they have. >> it's not going to get them. that's the reality. if people pierce through the rhetoric of the administration's stin artists, they'll see the weaponization aspects of iran's program are not even part of this deal. there's now talk about how we're

9:10 am
atomic bomb is a policy which must include comprehensive sanctions, resolutions and unhinders access as well as snap inspections of all suspect sites, military or otherwise. ambassador, what do you think the chances are that we'll get that? >> reporter: absolute zero. let's just take the sanctions regime. it's not a question of when the sanctions regime gets lifted early or late. it is in tatters now. europeans are looking for deals in iran. the sanctions have never been effectively enforced. others have helped them evade sanctions since they've been put in place. this whole thing really at this point is on the verge of total collapse and the iranians know it. that's why even if there is no framework agreement by the end of the month the negotiations will simply continue. remember, it is a rule that time is on the side of the would be
9:11 am
nuclear prolive ray or the. the sanctions are not materially impeding iran's nuclear weapons program. every day that goes by gives them the chance to make more progress. they're at the table now not to deal on the nuclear weapons program but to get relief from the sanctions and basically, they're going to get it i think. >> and meanwhile the supreme leader said death to america. what a way to negotiate with the side that says death to america. ambassador, thank you. reporting this morning from paris. thank you. texas senator expected to become the first high profile republican to officially enter the 2016 race for president. a source telling fox news he will formally announce his bid norm. ted cruz has gained considerable support from the tea party and republicans for taking a hard stance on some issues such as

9:18 am
fire. every in the area started screaming. we got down on the floor. >> now the suspect only lived a couple of miles from the airport. he had no plans on taking a plane. it was just an attack that came out of nowhere. the sheriff deputy who drew her weapon as the suspect was swinging the machete and being knocked back by another agent holding a bag, the sheriff's deputy pulled her weapon and shot three times. one of the rounds did get a tsa agent in the arm. she is expected to be fine. as i mentioned, the suspect died of his injuries last night at 5:00 and they'll trying to figure out why that went down sfwhchlt. >> i can't imagine what that was like for the passengers. thanks, adam. >> a prosecutor is now apologizing for sending an innocent inmate to death row. what he says needs to happen for

man to death row. he was wrongfully convicted of first degree murder for the 1984 death of jeweler in louisiana. ford spent 30 years behind bars before the state admitted new evidence proving he was not the killer. now the lead prosecutor in the case is apologizing and saying a flawed system quote destroyed his life. in a recent newspaper editorial he wrote quote, at that time he
9:23 am
was young and full of myself. i was not interested or as interested in justice as i was in winning. doug burns is a defense attorney and former federal prosecutor joining me to talk about this important case. let's start here. i'm glad this prosecutor came clean. meanwhile though, mr. glen ford effectively lost his life and i would gam to believe say that the prosecutor came clean to clear his conscious because he was 33 at the time. now he's a wiser man. but you know there will be other hot shot prosecutors coming around who will be more committed to winning the case rather than seeking justice. how do you change that culture? >> it's like everything else. you can't use a band-aid after the fact. you have to go back to the root. it's great that he stepped forward all these years later, what are we going to do about in? people wiser than i including my
9:24 am
late father said anyone who wants to be a prosecutor should serve as a defense attorney first. go to prisz prisons. i believe that would be a good change. and change the culture in a prosecutor's office. you're saying i need to win. what's my win loss record going to be. that's the wrong approach. what you need is to have prosecutors sit people down in introductory seminars in the office and say if you're in a case and it starts e vench waiting that the person looks innocent, you're coming across evidence like that, the greatest thing you can do is stand up and tell the judge we're dismussing. . it's interesting in my cousin vinny. when it became clear they weren't guilty of the crime, everybody was fine with that. that's the message to get to prosecutors. it's sad because this guy says i was 33 back then.
9:25 am
i was arrogant. >> cleared your conscious. makes your way with the lord but this man lost his life. >> it was fraught with problems and was a bit of an outlier. jury selection was a mess. they excluded all kds of african americans which is terrible. the lawyers had never dried a case. >> the defense attorneys had no idea what they were doing. they all knew that. everybody knew this case was lopsided from the beginning. >> another case is the judge should have asked those things. >> has the advent of dna technology helped make a more mistake proof issue? >> that's a good question. the point i thought you were making chi really like is since people know that that technology exists, they may be on their toes to do a more fair presentation all throughout. if that's the case that's
9:26 am
great. and there's a lot of organizations, innocence projects around the country an it's an important issue. as i told you earlier, very important to highlight this type of thing because the worst thing that can happen in a criminal case is an innocent person gets convicted of a crime and even worse, the death penalty. >> be short on this one but the state o louisiana is saying it has no responsibility so the state does not want to pay the man for all the years he spent behind bars waiting to be killed on death row. i believe the cap in louisiana is $250,000 to be paid over ten years. he is now 64. he now is facing lung cancer. so he's told he has six or eight months to live. should he be paid. >> he should be and paid in full. it's tragic he's that ill. i didn't realize that. >> so just yes or no? >> yes.
9:27 am
>> i heard you. he should be paid. do you think the culture will change? >> i think the culture will change, hopefully. >> thank you so much, dugoug. stick around. we will have more. people.
