appearance on cbs "face the nation," mcdonough said there have to be real talks on curbing the north korea's nuclear programs. >> i will say that the bottom line is they won't be able to talk their way out of the very significant sanctions that that they are under now, sanctions that russia supported and very importantly that china supported. >> glor: mcdonough also called the election the election of rowhani as iran's new president a potentially hopeful sign but iran still has to come clean on its nuclear program. supporters cheered his election in the early morning hours. in south africa nelson mandel ma spent his ninth day in a pretoria hospital, mandela who is mint four is still being treated for a lung infection. but as mark phillips reports, mandela is said to be improving. >> reporter: on father's day, congregations in south africa's churches were again gathering

they commemorate the 1976 student uprising that was violently put down by the then white racist government. now, in the new south africa, it is a multiracial affair, one nelson mandela would appreciate if he were in any condition to notice. the mandela family along with the medical staff here are known to be discussing whether to allow nelson mandela to go home, either to his house in johannesburg or to his ancestral homeland to the southeast of here. he has long expressed a desire to spend his last days if this is what they are at home but no decision has yet been taken to allow him to travel, even if he were able. jeff. >> glor: mark phillips, thank you. later, a motorcycle blessing at the vatican. the keystone x.l. pipeline debate, the stake in small towns across america, we visit montana. what happens to the one million
