american express' timeless safety and security are now available on apple pay. the next evolution of membership is here. right now on msnbc, two injured critically as a deck collapses as a family marks the fourth. people of greece are deciding their own financial future today. is it possible the feelings of a little girl are stomping out massive dinosaurs at the weekend box office? good morning to you this sunday july 5th. it is 8:00 am on the east 5:00 am in the west. i'm dara brown. keeping the fourth of july festivities safe. the night passing without incident. authorities say there are no specific and credible threats at

this time. threat of isis and lone wolf attack has put law enforcement across the country on high alert. joining me now with a peek of what law enforcement officials have been looking at. thank you for being here. >> thank you. they did not appear to hold people back from celebrating and as of this morning, there were no reports of incidents. coast guard patrolled new york's hudson river saturday just one part of massive security operations across the country. new york city police and counterterrorism officers were on the streets in numbers not seen in recent years. in washington, d.c., police line the national mall. but by evening, things were familiar. fire works on the fourth of july. americans celebrated independence day amid new concerns of terrorism. officials insisted there were no known credible threats. >> concerns us what we might not know. >> reporter: the cause for

concern, holiday overlaps with the muslim holy month of ramadan. isis recently called for terrorists to make a month of for the infade achltinfidels. americans terrified of july 4th now, he says. >> i know what's in your news cycle. i know you're worried about these alert. >> essentially he's acknowledging of all of that and happy about it. >> a recent study of terrorism arrests found an increase in cases involving individuals accused of plotting attacks in the united states in the name of isis. the fbi has stepped up arrests of people who have been under surveillance for months suspected of plotting homegrown attacks. all of this follows a string of attacks overseas.

less than two weeks ago, 38 people were killed at a beach resort in tunisia. isis claimed credit for the attack, along with an attack the same day in kuwait. in new york city saturday families visiting with young children said they were focused on enjoying the holiday. >> once anyway lifetime opportunity. i've never been here before. i want to take in what i can. >> are you glad you're here with your family today on independence day? >> yeah. >> yeah? >> yeah. >> what are you going to do next? what's next on the agenda? >> i think we're going to go eat. >> now officials said all along that americans should enjoy themselves this weekend, as they appear to have done. but as they say, if you see something, say something. and, dara law enforcement in the u.s. has begun to focus on people who may be inspired by isis propaganda preventing people from traveling overseas to iraq and syria in order to

join isis. >> you mentioned in your report a study finding increasing number of americans being involved with isis. how many people are we talking about here? >> the study -- and it's here -- found between march 2014 and late june of this year 56 people were charged in federal court with supporting isis which is quite a high number. it's surprising. and the study found that these people are increasingly inspired by propaganda and that they're here at home and have been in some cases -- especially since march, have been -- are accused of having plotted attacks here in the united states dara. >> the statistics are amazing. law enforcement is doing a great job of keeping them at bay. thank you so much for that report. we really appreciate it. >> thank you. final push for a nuclear deal with iran. in vienna at this hour secretary of state john kerry and others are back at the negotiating table as the deadline looms. meeting for nearly half an hour

today and diplomats announcing yesterday they reach aid tentative agreement on some but not all of the issues having to do with sanctions. it's far from a done deal. yesterday's meeting one sticking point but an initial step forward as negotiators lead to a final solution. benjamin netanyahu said quote, it seems that the nuclear talks in iran have yielded a collapse not a breakthrough. the major power powers concessions are increasing. the deal being formulated will pave inner's path to production of very many atomic bombs and it will also channel to iran hundreds of billions of dollars that will serve its aggression and terrorism campaigns in our region and around the world. this is a bad deal. steve, incredible words from netanyahu. what was significant in yesterday's agreement regarding

the sang sctions? >> first of all, president netanyahu's comments are very consistent with a line that's consistent. in fact, he's less flamboyantly against the deal now than he has been in the past. maybe that's an indication of a positive move. what's really changed is that yesterday, according to report that is i've had from negotiators there, they have solved the problem. we don't know how they solved it. inspection of military sight to come up with protocols and technical ways to address that issue. then more broadly in terms of drawing down and disabling some of inner's nuclear architecture and centrifuges, there's been progress. and they've come together on a pattern of which sanctions would come off of iran as it applies. it's all been positive. you have the feeling we're on the verge of an historically significant agreement that could come as early as tomorrow.

>> you talk about the issue of inspections, though. how tough will it be to come to an agreement on that? >> they've already come up with a protocol. one thing that's happening now, you have technical experts and lawyers essentially taking the outlines of a deal -- we don't know the content of that deal. all the major powers have agreed to some protocol on that issue. they are now going back to their parties and writing technical and legal language which they're trying to sell to their respective foreign ministers. there will be a foreign minister review of that technical and legal language for that country and the ministers will meet and take action. except for the fact that there has to be agreement and understanding in the legal and technical terms across all parties. that's a bureaucratic issue rather than a deep chasm of divide. >> i want to go back to the netanyahu statement this

morning. how closely are those in the middle east watching the progress in vienna? >> i think the world is watching this. saudi arabia uae and others are concerned that this deal not lead to further empowerment in the world at their expense. israel in many ways is concerned about the same thing. president obama and his team would argue this makes the world safer and preempts got after the at least 15 years, to iran making a bomb. if they defect from this agreement we have add equate time to deal with that. you'll have a 30-dede bu in congress. we'll be debating whether or not this was a good or bad deal for a month or so. this potential inflection point shows the world the united states can still do big deals and is back in the game even if you have traditional allies worried about the outcome. president obama will have to make -- kind of calm their nerves. there is concern.

israel, i think, will have the same debate across its political sphere. >> all right. steve clemmens, thank you for weighing in on this. >> thank you. >> we appreciate your expertise. back here at home washington is keeping a close eye on the talks in vienna warning iran it must still stick to the framework for a nuclear deal outlined earlier this year. former secretary of state hillary clinton addressed the negotiations at a campaign event in new hampshire. >> i so hope that we are able to get a deal in the next week that puts the lid on iran's nuclear weapons program because that is going to be a singular step in the right direction. nbc's kristen welker is at the white house with details about how officials are reacting to the developments in vienna. kristen? >> reporter: dara good morning to you. top officials here at the white house are watching what happens in vienna closely and getting regular briefings.

they're not commenting on the reports of a sanctions deal yet because negotiations are still fluid. the tentative agreement on sanctions is only on some but not all of the sanctions issues. important to point out, these agreements have been hammered out by so-called technical experts but nothing is final until the foreign ministers sign off. also, one of the toughest sanctions issues remains, how separate u.n. sanctions would be snapped back on if iran violates the terms of the deal. for a security council resolution incredibly complicated. still there is a sense that both sides have narrowed their differences. one of the largest remaining sticking points how many research and development iran can do at its facilities. secretary of state john kerry and foreign minister have been meeting to hammer out those final details. earliest day a deal could be

announced is monday vienna time. president obama ran on a platform in 2008 of not isolating america's enemies. he even acknowledges a deal is uncertain and this past week said the u.s. is prepared to walk away if it's not a good deal. back to you. >> thank you for that update from the white house. 14 people were injured, two of them critical lyly, after a deck collapsed at a north carolina vacation home the vacationing family plunged ten feet to the ground after gathering on the deck for a photo. good morning sarah. >> reporter: good morning, dara. picturesque moment for the family gathering to take a photo with sand and the beach in the background standing on the deck of their beach turned very scary

when the ground beneath them gave way, sending 14 people plunging 10 to 12 feet to the ground. 14 people were injured, several are considered to be critical injuries. this morning the family packing up their cars, taking stock of the damage and checking on the condition of their loved ones. this isn't the only holiday celebration to take a turn for the dangerous either. in lehigh, utah outside of salt lake city a deck separated from the house as a family was holding a fourth of july barbecue. 15 people in that case fell 10 feet to the ground. four people injured. we're told the most serious injury was a back injury. there's no word yet in either case what caused the deck to collapse here in north carolina or to separate from that home in utah. dara back to you. >> sarah, thank you. hit a bridge and capsized on the ohio river last night. people were gathering on the

river to watch independence day fireworks. >> the water is very rapid. we're unable to put divers in the water due to the current, the speed of the current. so we're continuing our search on the surface of the water only. >> at least two people are dead. six people have been pulled from the water and as many as three others still remain missing. we'll take you back to north carolina where beach goers are on edge after recent shark attacks.

hills reeled in a 6 1/2 foot shark before releasing it back into the water. >> we're worried about the water for the first time ever. >> beach patrol out in force today, but posted shark warnings few and far between. >> every year when you come down here certainly it's a consideration because after all, they do live out there in that water. >> why this year shark surge? >> this year we went from water temperatures in the mid 70s to water temperatures in the mid to high 80s in a span of about five days. that may have caused all the sharks that are part of that mi migrat migration to move. >> you can look and there's three, four eight, nine sharks because they know that you're going to hook a tuna and then dinner bell will ring. >> glenn hopkins has been fishing 35 years but has never seen this many partially eaten fish. he capture this had shark on an

underwater camera. >> you got the tuna right there, and all of a sudden out of nowhere, the shark comes up grabs the whole thing. takes it out of your hand. probably last month 25,000 out of my pocket. >> wow! >> that's gone into shark's bellies. >> these communities are wondering if the attacks are over or whether there's still anything lurking too close to shore. gabe gutierrez, nbc news north carolina. >> joining me now, expert in sea life marine biologist with the university of northern florida. first, thank you so much for being here. i want to get your take on this recent string of shark attacks off the coast of north carolina. what's going on here? >> jeez, i wish we knew dara. it's been an unusual year for north carolina. seven attacks in a very short amount of time now. people do have to keep in mind that north carolina does usually have a fairly high abundance of sharks during this time of year. they often have anywhere from one to five shark-related

injuries on an annual basis, pretty much the past two decades. this is a very unusual event. we're not really sure what's going on. we've heard suggestions about the warmer water temperature. that certainly is a possibility. perhaps less precipitation and a saltier sea little closer to shore could be bringing animals in. there has been a lot of bait on the coast as well. all of these things put together seems to have increased the abundance of animals on this coast. >> you've been tracking the migration of the great whites off the east coast. >> we've learned a lot about the white sharks. they've always been a challenging species to work on on the east coast. they're a rare species compared to a lot of shark that is make a living on our coast. white shark has increased in abundance, particularly off cape kod because of this increase in seals on that coast. this has given us an opportunity to tag some animals and look at

their movement partnertterns. we used to have a very rudimentary understanding of the sharks thinking they were winter snowbirds in florida and spent the summer on the cape for example. but we know that they're going back and forth on a very regular basis. i think we're starting to see a bit of an increase even in the population based on studies. >> you mentioned warmer and saltier waters swaters. is this climate change that's affecting the sharks off our shores? >> there's always the possibility of that. it's been discussed on a number of occasions. it may have to do with habitat shifts. in some areas we've seen a decline in certain shark species and increase in others and the conventional wisdom initially was that maybe the species that was in decline was being fished out and the species increasing moved into that area and took over. i think what we've seen is some habitat shifts where animals

have moved in association with some of the changes in climate. >> discovery's shark week kicks off this weekend. they face criticism of the dramatic portrayal of the great whites. does this programming give sharks a bad rap? >> it sure has in the past few years. the discovery channel has listened to the public as well as to the shark public so to speak, when we've really come out against some of the negative portrayal of sharks on shark week sensationalized. we've seen some previews on some of the shows coming out. they're a lot more science based. it's what drew a lot of people to study sharks like myself that fascination with these animals. >> shark week is always a great week. let's hope there's no more shark attacks, though. thank you so much for joining us. >> absolutely. thank you, dara. history in the making in greece today. will voters say yes to a painful

new bounty with dawn. available in the paper towel aisle. obviously! people in greece heading to the polls at this hour for an historic vote that will determine their financial future and their relationship with europe. voters deciding whether greece should agree to a package of rescue loans with strict austerity measures attached or hold out for a better deal. the polls ahead of today's vote show a razor thin margin separating the two camps. long lines continue to form outside banks and atms, seventh straight day on limits on cash withdrawals to prevent a run on the banks. keir simmons is with us in athens. athens. >> reporter: dara, good morning. yeah, this vote has the potential to change europe and

to rock the financial markets. millions of greeks are going to the polls to decide whether they should pay back billions of dollars in debt to greece that europe is demanding if it is a no vote all eyes would turn to the financial markets because it will be a political financial crisis for europe. dara, behind me you can see. even vacation bookings are substantially down as greeks are split right down the middle over how they should vote on their future. dara? >> keir simmons, thank you so much, from athens. we had a little delay in that. joining me now for this implication on this vote jared bernstein, chief economist to vice president biden.

what are the implications for europe and greece? >> financial markets don't like the kind of uncertainty that prevails when you don't know whether there will be a yes or no vote here. interestingly, some of the creditors to greece the imf, international monetary fund european central bank european commission have been saying even if there's a no vote it doesn't mean that greece is necessarily out of the euro. that's because they're not sure they really want to give up on the euro project. it will then be up to the creditors to decide even in the face of a no vote whether they want to keep supporting some of these greek banks. if they don't keep supporting them the bank system collapses and greece absolutely would have to leave the eurozone at that point. look, simple answer to your questions, we don't know because no country has ever left the eurozone. it wouldn't be pretty.

>> we don't know whether it will go yes or no. what is your take on that? would you vote yes or no? >> i would be tempted to vote no for the following reason. it's not a simple thing. i can see why it's divided. the idea as i just said that we don't know what happens when a country leaves the eurozone that is scary sbun settling no doubt about it. i would argue what's going on in greece is completely unsustainable. they can't finance their debt. there's already been a default in place in terms of not paying back the imf for a loan that's due. there's 25% unemployment. there's 50% youth unemployment. the economy has been in deep trouble for a long time because the terms of these bailouts -- it's not just that they're unacceptable. it's that they're completely unrealistic. to come out from under that even with all the potential upheaveal strikes me something that's

not -- >> while this vote is imminent is there any way that greece can regain its economic footing in the near future after this? >> not in the near future. the idea would be in the medium term future. if there is a no vote and subsequent default and greece does end up leaving the eurozone they would quickly begin to print their own currency again, return to what's called the drakma and that currency would not have a lot of value initially. that's very tough for the greek people and the creditors of greek loans. it means that they would be able to export more successful than they can right now. for the medium term when this kind of thing has happened historically countries have been able to regain their footing. it takes a while for that kind of -- those kinds of dynamics to take shape. >> we know that greece is not the only one having financial issues right now. we have china, also facing an economic slowdown. how worried should we be about

chien ra in the future? >> remember an economic slowdown in china typically means going from 10% growth to 6% growth. that's definitely a slowdown. it's very different than the conditions that we're just talking about in the southern eurozone. also china is a very active manager of their economy. they're taking interventions right now to deal with some of the problems in the stock market and similarly they've been able to engage in more internal investment to offset some of the slower growth. while slow growth in china is an important global issue given the size of that economy, i don't think it's an obvious threat to the world economy. >> jared bernstein, thank you for your insight on this. >> you're welcome, dara. republicans coming out against donald trump and his controversial comments about mexico. we'll tell you about that up next.

welcome back. pope francis touching down in ecuador today. his second trip since becoming ponteff. also on his itinerary, bolivia. he will be visiting with prisoners and trash pickers. meanwhile back in the u.s. independence day united former classmates on the campaign trail. democratic presidential candidate lincoln chaffey tweeted this photo with his former prep school roommate jeb bush. uniting the republican party against donald trump. new hampshire yesterday, jeb bush telling "the new york times" he was, quote, absolutely offended by donald trump's comments regarding mexicans adding they were not in line with the republican party.

mitt romney has also talked out against his comments. donald trump release this had statement. today, jeb bush once again proves that he doesn't know anything about the border and is out of touch with the american people. are his comments hurting the party, though? >> they have a tremendous potential to hurt the party. his comments are amplifying this anti-latino, anti-latin american at the same time that the gop is trying to connect with latinos. it's hurting the party because he's taking up so much space right now, sucking all the air out of the conversation with these decisive remarks and candidates jumping in the race trying to get their message out are on the sideline. for the last few weeks all we hear about is trump. one thing that's been so

fascinating the last few weeks, republican unity against trump, it's also been an absolutely tremendous moment for latino unity. very often among latinos there are regional differences, differences in degrees of asimulationasim asimilation. it's been unprecedented. some are calling it the latino spring to reach out and take a stance against him. >> we mentioned jeb bush marco rubio and george pataki condemning trump's comments. trump did find a supporter. take a listen. >> i salute donald trump for focusing on the need to address illegal immigration. the washington cartel doesn't want to address that. the washington cartel doesn't believe we need to secure the borders. the washington cartel supports amnesty. and i think amnesty is wrong. i salute donald trump for

focusing on it. >> texas senator ted cruz with intimate knowledge about border issues is supporting donald trump. what do you think about that? >> this is an example how donald trump -- right now he's doing pretty well in the polls in new hampshire, iowa and i believe even in michigan. this is an example how he could be significant in the race but perhaps in a negative way. there's some politicians like ted cruz from texas, of all places, who probably knows better. but maybe is a little afraid of speaking out against trump when at some point you might need trump supporters or reach out to donald trump. certainly in the hispanic community a lot of people are saying why do we have people like shakira, ricky martin celebrities condemning trump and people in washington taking so long to denounce people like ted cruz who are actually coming out in support of him? all these comments are being watched very closely. i think that the republican party, unless donald trump at some point backtracks it could

pose a tremendous problem for them going forward. >> certainly being controversial. >> yes. >> mitt romney playing host to marco rubio, chris christie and jeb bush all making appearances in their fourth of july parades yesterday. chris christie announcing last week he is going to jump into the campaign. do you think he will have an important impact in this election? >> i think he has some support in the northeast. it's so funny this weekend. they had kind of a slumber party at mitt romney's house. marco rubio was there and chris christie. i don't know. maybe they played board games or had hot dogs or something. he's still a figure. we look at the republican field, which is so big. in truth, not all of them are really running for president. some of them may be angling for that vice president slot. chris christie could be viable in a certain way. >> it will be an interesting

election. thank you so much for your insights. appreciate it. >> thank you. lawmakers in south carolina tomorrow will begin debating whether to remove the confederate flag from the statehouse grounds. more than 1,000 people gathered at the statehouse to demand the flag come down. this was the second anti-confederate flag county in recent weeks. south carolina republican governor nikki haley has called for the removal of the confederate flag. in daytona, race officials have offered fans a trade-in american flags for confederate flags. not everyone is taking them up on the offer. bubba watson spoke with nbc kerry sanders about the controversy. >> does the confederate flag offend you? >> i come to the racetrack and enjoy my time unless we're not winning. we come here to focus on. i'm well accepted by the fans.

>> when they fly the flag does that offend you? >> not at all. it's what people believe n we all have our opinions about something. move on throughout your day. i come to the racetrack and know what i need to do and not focus on the other stuff. >> it's not been uncomfortable for you? >> nochlt i'm just ready to go race. >> that was nascar's bubba wallace speaking with kerry sanders. bubba watson has the dukes of hazzard car and will repaint the confederate flag with the american flag. deadheads gather this weekend. end of a long strange trip. we'll take you to chicago to explain. stay with us.

>> long strange trip it's been. businessman and investor richard branson announced just last month that employees at one branch at his company with enough years of service will be entitled to 12 months of paid parental leave whether they're new moms or new dads. he said in a blog post if you take care of your employees, they'll take care of your business. increased paid leave they offer to new fathers, johnson & johnson and goldman sachs. economic advisers 29% of men have no access to leave of any kind for the birth of a child. 60% of father with his partners who also work say they find it difficult to find a balance between home and work. on this holiday weekend, we turn now to scott thiesen. thank you for joining us today. >> thank you for having me. >> why would you write a book for dads?

>> there are millions of dads out there, myself included and many watching today, who care very much about their careers and succeeding at work but also putting in the time and energy to be good hands-on involved fathers. i had not seen a book that had spoken to that reality. the survival guide provides advice and encouragement to working dad so that they can be successful at their jobs and have the time and the energy to be really good involved dads. >> these days parents are timesharing, working dads working moms and taking a much bigger role. what kind of advice do you give to dads how they can actually balance the work/lifestyle? >> there's no simple answer. think about your priorities. it's so easy to be busy, working full time hours and putting in all the work to be an involved dad. sitting and thinking what do you want out of your career? what do you want out of your life? what do you want out of one shot of your kid's childhood?

so we can assess our workplaces what opportunities do we have to work more flexibly or what obstacles might be in our way? how do we advocate for ourselves and negotiate what we need in the workplace? and how do we open up time for the family and make good use of that time? >> that's great advice. you don't get those moments back. >> no. >> you attended the white houseworking family summit last year. >> yes. >> has the obama administration done anything to address paternity leave issues? >> federal employeeyses have been given access to. they're the largest employer in the country. that helps both working moms and dads. at the federal level we're not seeing much movement on this topic as we would like thanks to congress and some of their dysfunction there. at state and federal level we're seeing more demands on these types of policies. >> paid parental leave programs do you see this going into other

states as well? >> i certainly hope so. the evidence from california's policy, the longest standing one, is that even though the business community was lined up against it when it was first introduced over a decade ago, now over 90% of the business community sees it as beneficial to their companies. once the business community signs on i think we'll see rapid progress. federal government is helping to subsidize states who are looking to either investigatore or look putt a policy like this into place. and they're also looking into paid sick leave and other family-supported policies. >> let's hope they read your book working dad survival guide and how to succeed. still ahead, slaying dinosaur with his nothing but the inner workings of an 11-year-old girl. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one.

than the "terminator" sequel. i think you have to look at this is a weekend that people go out to see movies with their families and these aren't necessary necessarily family movies. "terminator" has a lot of violence and "magic mike" has a lot of abs. >> which current sequel or sequels have fallen victim to that so far? we have "tattoo" coming out, too. >> yes. i read that article and i kind of agree to a certain extent. it really depends, i think -- i don't think it's so much of a curse. it depends if the franchise has somewhere to go. in the case of "ted two," twos gimmicky a fun concept last summer. whether or not people are still interested this summer depends on how the story ended out and whether it had some place to go. in that case i don't think that it did. "pitch perfect" is a great

example of a film that gained momentum. it actually did better numbers, you know sort of in the post market rather than at the box office and really did a good job of creating a buzz. sound track came out before the film came out. there was a lot of anticipation. >> there are so many sequels. on another note we have this kid-friendly "minions" movie with his also a bit of a sequel. what's the buzz around this? >> the buzz is great.

coming up on this hour on msnbc, reaching a nuclear deal with iran. the u.s. women try to win for the first time at the world cup since 1999. plus hillary clinton offers advice to a distraught child. we'll tell you what she had to say and why. and the future is now. "back to the future" turns 30 years old this weekend. leah thompson will be with us to celebrate. here's what's happening right now. we begin in vienna where secretary of state john kerry and five other minuteisters are back at the table. a step in the right direction

for a final deal all sides maintain there are many more important issues still to be resolved. benjamin netanyah reacting saying, quote, it seems that the nuclear talks have yielded a collapse not a breakthrough. the deal being formulated will pave iran's path to the production of very many atomic bombs and it will also channel to iran hundreds of billions of dollars that will serve its aggression and terrorism campaigns in our region and around the world. this is a bad deal. deadline of this coming tuesday. joining me now, chief foreign affairs correspondent andrea mitchell. what is the latest? and thanks for being here. >> you bet. the latest is that they have been meeting today, john kerry, the iranian foreign minister. the other foreign ministers from europe and china will be back tonight. some very late tonight.

they're going to have some informal meetings but no official meeting until monday morning. they have to decide whether or not to accept the narrowing of gaps draft agreements that were worked on over the weekend in the last couple of days by the technical staff star and they have narrowed the gap, for instance on how to lift u.s. and european sanction bus not how to snap back the u.n. sangs without requiring another security council resolution vote from the security council is always challenging for the u.s. because of vetos from russia and china. they don't want to take off sanctions unless they know they can get it back on without much difficulty if iran were to cheat. how much alcohol's the u.n. inspectors will have how iran will resolve its activities past activities. the director general of the international atomic agency

thought there was progress on that front. some in the u.s. and certainly in congress and israel and other critics will want that to be resolved before the deal is negotiated. that now will not be possible. >> there are obviously painsteaking details that need to be ironed out. andrea mitchell live from vienna. thank you so much for that report. for more, we are joined by former assistant secretary of state for public affairs, p.j. crowley. thank you for being here. significant, yesterday's developments in vee enienna, do you think a final deal can be reached? >> it can be reached? of course. there are still no guarantees. you could have a deal or you could have no deal or plausibly you could continue the negotiation past tuesday. >> past tuesday. we know that that deadline is certainly looming. the obama administration is holding firm on the framework it established in the beginning of the year. what the u.s. and the other p5 plus 1 countries have to concede

in order to reach this agreement. what do they have to give in to? >> there's a political backdrop obviously. as the previous story indicated, the prime minister of israel is making his position clear and buck up congress. there are politics in tehran as well. there are those who want a deal and there are those who are skeptical because the iranian regime defines itself still against the great satan and the united states. so, this is still 35 years of backdrops of mistrust. on the other hand you know there is something that has been achieved here even through this process. iran is going to be a factor in the future of the middle east. what you have for the first time

since the late 1970s is the ability of the united states and iran to have a meaningful discussion, not just about nuclear issues but broader regional issues. foreign minister of iran did a video the last couple of days saying, you know we have a common interest in fighting among other things the islamic state. you do have the advance in this negotiation has yielded something very very meaningful that has broad implications down the road regardless of what happens in the next 48 hours. >> is there a scenario in which the u.s. and secretary kerry would walk away from these negotiations? i know they are so close. what would it take for john kerry to just walk away? >> there is that scenario. both sides have invested paid enormous amount of political capital to reach these negotiations. could it break down? it could. as andrea outlined there are

very complex issues here. one of the issues iran has to do is sufficiently open up you know know, its activities both in the present and the past so that the international community, the iaea, has confidence that it can detect cheating and that's why the sanctions issues are very important. yes, it could break down. on the other hand from a process standpoint, both sides put so much into this i still think that a deal is more likely than not. >> p.j. crowley, thanks for your advice on this. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> 14 people were injured. at least two of them critically after a deck collapsed at a north carolina beach house last night. vacationing family from virginia plunged ten feet to the ground after gathering on the deck for a photo. sarah dallof joins us.

>> picturesque moment, family gathered on the deck of their beach house with the sand and surf there behind them when the deck suddenly gave way, the wood splintering and 14 people falling about 10 to 12 feet 14 people injured, 3 to four of them critically. the family is packing up their cars. we've seen one member of the family out with crutches taking stock of the damage. they're checking on the conditions of their loved ones. a lot of concerned neighbors stopping by so far. this isn't the only holiday celebration across the nation that took a dangerous turn. a deck separated from a home in lehi utah. the family was gathered on the deck for a barbecue when it separated. 15 people in that case fell ten feet. several people hurt. the most serious injury, we're told is a back injury. so far there's no word on what caused either of these deck collapses here in north carolina or in utah.

back to you. >> thank you sarah. we know that's absolutely no way to end your holiday weekend. thanks for that report. northern california, a wildfire is threatening homes in the city of vacaville between san francisco and sacramento. the fire started around 10:00 last night and has burned more than 320 acres, high winds challenging the firefighters on the scene. officials estimating it is only 15% contained. turning now to the festivities of last night, macy's fire works show over new york city's east river. and the display held in washington, d.c. this is where president obama was giving brief remarks on the holiday last night. >> we just want to wish you the happiest fourth of july and remind ourselves that freedom not free. it's paid by all the folks who are here today and all the folks around the world. >> the president celebrating independence day with a concert

motorcycle engines revved up the parade front. so did hillary clinton. this rope has been used to try to keep people moving to keep that pace part for security and part to keep her going. clinton staffers said the rope made it easier for clinton to be seen by voters and her supporters. small but consistent group of protesters repeatedly shouting at her along the way. clinton walked the nearly

mile-long distance. >> did the protesters rat ss rattle you at all? moments later she gushed about her experience. >> it was fabulous. i love parades, love walking in parades. lot of enthusiasm and energy to celebrate the fourth of july. >> kelly o'donnell reporting from new hampshire yesterday. as you saw with kelly right there, it was this moment captured by "new york times" reporter maggie haberman that sent a sleepy holiday twitter into a rage yesterday. hillary clinton campaign using a rope to corral the press. after that photo went viral calling the move arrogant and shameful behavior. tweeting, quote, did it occur to no one that this would surely be photographed? the clinton campaign responded with a statement that reads in part, quote, while the g op may want to spin a good yarn on this let's not get tied up in

knots. we wanted to accommodate the press, greet voters and allow the press to be right there. and that's what we did. joining me now, political reporter at the daily beast, betsy woodruff. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> what did you make of this yesterday? >> on one hand it's so bizarre and surreal, it's hard to grasp that it actually happened. on the other hand it kind of fits with the pattern of how hillary and her team treat national media. they don't give comments very often. they're very slow to get back to people. often they insist on staying on background, even on things that are very basic instead of going on record. the fact that it's so visible, sort of this treating reporters like they're second class citizens, the fact that it's so visible is weird but it's also part of a pattern. >> clinton had come under criticism earlier by keeping the press out of the loop and not answering questions. had she gotten better at this until this moment? >> it certainly doesn't seem like she has.

clinton's pattern has been maintained as pretty much as it has been going. it's funny to see the optics of this. clintons historically have been so interested in presenting an image of themselves that is very positive, very good. they poll tested where to go on vacation when bill clinton was president. it's weird that now the clinton team would be so -- i don't know -- visually tone deaf perhaps. >> another interesting moment, clinton causing a viral moment on the campaign trail, popular humans of new york media site with the caption i'm homosexual and i'm afraid of what my future might be and that people won't like me. hillary clinton responded saying prediction from a grown-up your future is going to be amazing. you will surprise yourself with what you're capable of and the incredible thing ss you go on to do. find the people who love and believe in you. there will be lots of them. hillary has been very vocal about social issues so far in

this campaign. will this be part of her platform? zblie think it has to be. she has a lot of ground to make up here. she didn't come out in favor of same-sex marriage until 2013. she is seen behind the times on the issue in some quarters. she gave a very vocal speech when she was senator saying keeping marriage between one man and one woman is the only way to protect western civilization. she's taking steps to telegraph she's had a change of heart on this issue, she has some convincing to do. >> hillary clinton is getting strong competition from bernie sanders, holding the largest iowa rally of any candidate so far of this election on friday. is hillary changing her message to draw contrast between her and senator sanders? >> in a way it's almost like she's changing her message to make herself seem more similar to him. he is a real attack dog on economic issues and hillary has been associated with walmart and

wall street. she's talked about issues like income equality. it seems so she doesn't get totally outflanked. the response he's getting, in real life and on social media, i am sure gives her team a little bit of pause. >> always great to speak with you, betsy. thank you very much. >> sure thing. parts of the midwest, escorted thunderstorms in the southeast. for the latest forecast we turn now to the weather channel's reynolds wolf. >> good morning, dara brown, and our friends across the country. troubling weather in spots, especially up in parts of midwest. fargo fargo, northern plains, central plains. chance of thunderstorms, damaging winds, large hail, heavy rain. tornadoes may be in the mix, too. you have to be ready especially by midday and afternoon hours. tor:con within 50 miles for eastern south dakota, 3 out of 10 for the time being. we'll keep a sharp eye on this

all eyes will be on vancouver, canada for the finals of the women's world cup. after beating germany last week a rematch for the americans, they take on japan, who came from behind to upset the americans four years ago. live for us in vancouver, jacob rascon, good morning. early morning for you, jacob. >> reporter: early morning for us. july 11 2007 that day that the american women lost to japan is fresh in their minds, making sure they go that extra mile. they are hungry to set the reset button to get that rematch against japan now. the last time that the women took it home was 1999. 16 years ago, that was in the u.s.a. against china. that was a moment for women's

soccer. the sport exploded at that time. that was the second time that the women had taken it home. if they take it home today, that will be a record three times that the women have won more than any other team and, of course, we know that they also won 1991 the first year that the women had a world cup. so, this year they have a new team, new coach. lot of young players, youngest of which is 23. oldest of which is 40 years old. hope solo arguably the best goalie in the women's game abby womback, arguably the best striker forward in the game scored more points internationally than any other player, male or female. the game starts 4:00 pm local time and 7 pm on the east coast. >> let's home that three times is the charm. anita marks is a radio host with espn. she joins me now.

welcome. >> thank you. >> how do you think the american also stack up today? >> i think they'll play sensational soccer. you hear the phrase a team that's peaking. that's what's happening with this u.s.a. team. japan on the other hand they started strong. they've had some issues down the stretch. if you saw the game that they did win against england, unfortunately, it was because of laura basset who unintentionally scored -- >> kicked her own goal. >> exactly. you have a japan team who is not necessarily peaking at the right time. on the opposite side you have a united states team that struggled their first four games but now they're peaking. carlie lloyd, the captain, coach e. lis has released her. their defense is playing great. you hear it teams peaking at the right time. kudos to the united states because they're the team that's peaking. >> this is a bit of a revenge game though this match-up the americans against the japanese. how much does this motivate them? they did lose to them last time.

>> it's interesting. some people are calling this a rubber match. the united states did beat japan in the olympics. i'm with you. i think this is a rubber match. the olympics is one thing. it's not a knock on the olympics but world cup means everything to the soccer nation. and this is really where you gain your swagger. so, i'm with you. this is a revenge game. i think a lot of people are hoping their fingers crossed it doesn't come to a shootout. the united states their defense, their back line has been playing such phenomenal soccer that hope solo hasn't been tested in this tournament yet. a lot of people are anticipating united states to win by two goals. hopefully, that's the case. if they get to penalty kicks, this is the stage where hope solo will be tested. >> i hope it's not a nail biter. >> i actually enjoy that. you hear this from carlie lloyd.

they want to win this for abby womback. she's been coming off the bench. lot of people are saying they hope to see her get some minutes. this is her last world cup. it's alluded her, her entire career. she wants this. not only these young girls, these young women -- she's passing the baton on to them but they want to win it for abby because they know this is her last world cup. >> what would this mean for women's soccer in the u.s. if they do win? >> that's a great question. it's posed all the time. unfortunately, soccer is just not the top sport in the united states. and you hope with brandy chastain and mia hamm and the success we've seen not only on the women's side but male side as well you would see soccer really kind of take some advantage through that and have more people play and watch. but i think it's the patriotism. i think it's the teams that are playing in the olympics and the

world cup. especially fourth of july weekend, whatty time to get behind this women's u.s.a. team. unfortunately, it's just not the premiere sport that i think a lot of people want to get into which is sad. it's a great sport to play especially for women. think about it. not a lot of professional sport that is young girls can get into. >> absolutely. >> that can lead to a phenomenal career. tennis soccer golf. >> women are going to win tonight, right? >> they are going to win. >> absolutely. >> and as i said when we started because this is a u.s.a. team peaking in a big way and at the right time. coach ellis, the way that she's changed the format and really has solidified this defense and unleashed carlie lloyd, i have a feeling u.s. 2-0. >> thank you so much. >> thanks for having me here. >> great to have you here. it starts at 7:00 pm eastern with live coverage on telemundo. words of warning from

america's top general is getting ready to leave his job. on his way out, he's warning the pentagon to prepare to fight for a long time to come. general dempsey said this week the u.s. military needs to reorganize and prepare for a conflict that has no end in sight against militant groups like isis. quoting him, we are more likely to face prolonged campaigns than conflicts that are resolved quickly. control of escalation is becoming more difficult and more important, and that is as a hedge against unpredictability with reduced resources, we may have to adjust our global posture. general dempsey also warning that other nations are investing heavily in their militaries and while the u.s. is still the most powerful fighting force in the world other countries are starting to catch up. joining us now, msnbc military analyst colonel jack jacobs and

medal of honor recipient for his alcohols during the vietnam war. thank you so much for being here. >> good morning. >> general dempsey's remarks about endless war is discouraging. in fact it's quite depressing. what are your thoughts on this? >> we've been operating for a long, long time, ever since the end of world war ii using large forces, large formations lots and lots of equipment, heavy equipment, aircraft carriers and the like. what we've discovered in the last decade or so is that the large majority of prayings we have been involved require small, nimble forces special forces, special operations forces and we, quite frankly, are not politically prepared to field a large army in any case. i think he's absolutely right. we need to think more clearly about how we use our people who are in short supply. we have a volunteer army. very small force. and how we use our equipment.

furthermore, i think it's important that we've missed the boat. i think this is what one of the suggestions was. missed the boat in encouraging regional forces to take over a lot of what we are currently doing. take the middle east for example. there are a lot of nation states who are allies of ours who are not shouldering their part of the burden in the region. >> colonel jacobs this is the first military strategy paper written since 2011. what do you think it's purpose is? do you think this is a mission statement of sorts for the independent gone now? >> yeah i think so. there's a bit of frustration in general dempsey's tone who said look, i'm trying to get things done in a different way, to refocus the military establishment, the politicians on how we need to be able to respond and the frustration in his tone is that nobody has been listening. but you better listen now. i'm going to be out of office soon and you're going to have to -- somebody will have to pick

it up. i and my colleagues are gone. his whole generation is leaving office and it's up to the next generation of leaders who have grown up in this environment to change the way in which we fight. fight. >> is this a plea for a bigger budget? military spending not something that the u.s. is known for skimping on. do you think there's going to be more? >> no. no i don't think there will be a response to his or anybody else's enkornlment that we do not reduce the size of the force and do not reduce military expenditures. i think there's not a lot of political will here to field a larger force. there's not a political feel to have universal service. i think we focus very very heavily on equipment. end of the day, however, equipment is only good insofar as you have a force on the ground, in the air and on the

sea in order to exploit it. and our forces are too small to do it right now. i think he's concerned about that. >> 15 years into the war in iraq we now have isis to deal with. is the nature of the conflict in that region shifting? >> yeah it is. i mean we started off in the region fighting large forces saddam hussein's army. now we have a completely different environment all together where we have local enemy forces who are fragmented who are taking over bits and pieces of countries that are really failed nations states. we need to look at things very much differently. that includes something i mentioned earlier. the forces -- the countries that are in the region particularly saudi arabia who is a very great ally of ours particularly egypt. we need to band together doing in their region what we have been doing. we can't do it -- not only can we do it alone, i don't think we

can do it the all. it's up to them to make it happen with their help if necessary but with if required. >> colonel jacobs thank you so much for your insight. >> you're very welcome. coming up an american champion battles to make history at wimbledon this week. that's up next. ♪ every auto insurance policy has a number. but not every insurance company understands the life behind it. ♪ those who have served our nation have earned the very best service in return. ♪ usaa. we know what it means to serve. get an auto insurance quote and see why 92% of our members plan to stay for life.

friday. here to discuss it gigi fernandez and wnbc sportscaster. there's actually a day off and tomorrow, boom venus and serena. >> only grand slam that has a day off. it's unusual because you're in the meat of the battle and then you have to sit around for a day. and it should be an amazing match. they haven't played each other in a while. we'll see what happens. but, i don't know. my moncy on venus for this one. >> what is it specifically you'll be looking for in this match? >> serena start and get ahead, she's pretty tough to beat. i think she has not lost the match after winning the first set all year or in a long time. so she has to really start strong. >> harry, it's been six years since these two sisters have faced off in a major. we used to see it more often

wiechlt is this? what's been changing? >> to begin with in any other tournament, venus wouldn't have a chance against serena right now but because it's wimbledon, venus has a great game for grass. the reason we haven't seen this matchup recently venus has struggled with injuries she hasn't been playing the best tennis of her life. serena has been continuing. the play of venus hasn't been at her top level. she hasn't had an opportunity to play serena on such a big stage. >> she will be the first person to win a calendar grand slam and nobody has done that since stephi graff. >> she still has to win the u.s. open and she's not even halfway -- she's halfway there but has a long ways to go. i don't think she's thinking about it yet. and she's been very adamant about not answering questions

about it. so it's really not her focus right now. i think she's just focusing on trying to beat her sister which emotionally will be difficult for her. and hopefully, she wins wimbledon and will have an exciting u.s. open. >> nothing new for these sisters. >> it's been a while, huh? round 16 which is unusual. they've usually only ever played each other in the finals at wimbledon. lot at stake. >> great match regardless. >> harry i want to toss this to you. 22-year-old madison keys and 23-year-old coco vanaway, how are their chances? >> i've noe known both of these girls since they start ntd juniors. i was speaking with gigi before the broadcast. she can make the semi finals in the bottom half of the draw not as many heavy hitters. coco has had a great run. she has a tough match. i don't think she'll win that one. she can pat herself on the back she's made it this far into the

major tournament. madison keys maybe into the finals. that would be huge. >> gigi who else should we be keeping an eye on for the american players? >> other than madison keys and coco vandaway serena and venus williams. >> sloane. >> sloane stephens. american tennis and the women's side is doing really really well right now compare edd to like ten or 15 years ago. the efforts of the usda in promoting junior tennis has really helped the state of women's tennis. men are a little bit behind. we had two juniors play in the french open finals. number one seed in the junior wimbledon is an american guy. hopefully in the future we'll have some type of american guy. >> like to have the americans in the finals. >> on the way. >> for venus and serenea it will

be a great matchup. gigi fernandez, harry cicma, thank you. we'll all be watching. >> thank you. >> you can go on masterdoubles.com tips how to play like a professional in tennis. women's world cup finals may be the biggest sporting event but there's also a nascar race. nbc kerry sanders is in daytona beach, florida with that. kerry? >> i'm getting out of the pace car here guys. and no anybody who has ever seen me drive on interstate 95 can relax. i was not and will not be behind the wheel of a car going behind the track here. but bubba wallace jr. was kind enough to let me join his team. let's just say even before that spectacular accident here last night, probably not going to be asked back. that's bubba wallace in car number six.

at only 21 years old, alabama native is a rising star who is known to take calculated risks. >> team on three. one, two, three, team! >> which may explain why he let me join his pit crew. >> go, go, go! >> reporter: it all begins with a class. >> don't take your eyes off it. roll it to the wall and you're going to catch it. >> my job? to grab the tires after the change and haul them over the wall. come race time, pressure. >> you don't catch that freaking tire, we'll kill you, just so you know. >> on lap 54 it's go time. instant replay from the pit crew camera down in the lower left corner, that's me. i didn't move quickly but i also didn't let the tire run loose. later today, without me on her pit crew the only woman racing at this top level of nascar danica patrick. this is her fourth season. and the number one reason girls

the controversy over the confederate flag. some fans here this weekend are flying the confederate flag. they've offered, and some fans are taking them up on it to swap out the confederate flag for the american flag. bubba wallace jr., who is african-american, when i asked him about it he said it's what people believe in and we all have our opinions about something. as i was speeding around the track at 130 miles an hour if somebody were waving any flag wouldn't see it. at the daytona beach international speedway kerry sanders. now back to you. >> kerry sanders, going nascar for us in daytona. got to love it. wimbledon is the mecca of tennis and daytona is the premiere venue in nascar then can you call the hot dog eating contest in coney island the biggest of the year in competitive eating. and there's a new champion. in just ten minutes to upset long-time champion joey

it's a blockbuster anniversary for one of the world's most iconic films. 30 years ago this weekend, "back to the future" first hit theaters. marty mcfly turned back time to 1985. and you'll remember this scene with lea tamp sonhompson. >> i've never seen purple underwear, calvin.

>> why do you keep calling me calvin? >> that's your name isn't it? calvin klein? it's written all over your underwear. oh, i guess they call you cal. >> no people call me marty. >> lea thompson is here with us. she'll be starring in a movie august 24. we love that scene calvin klein. do you remember filming that scene? >> i do so much. we had a great laugh all the time. it was just a peculiar situation knowing i was his mother and i was talking about his underwear and my hope chest. >> and calvin klein, who knew 30 years later it would still be such an important name. >> i know. he still makes purple underwear, too. every once in a while i sign them. >> really. that's an interesting take. over the course of these three films, we saw several different versions of your character. you had high school lorraine

future lorraine even one of your an assess torsesescestors was in the old west. was there one version that was particularly challenging or harder to play? which one did you love most? >> i loved all of me as lorraine, but back in 1952 and i had big boobs and my acting was giant, i loved that character. i would like to play her again, actually, some version of that person. >> that's like the vegas lorraine. >> yeah the vegas lorraine exactly. >> the scripts for them were time changing back and forth, and the sequels referencing the earlier movies and then to the scenes that are not necessarily shot in order. how difficult was it for you to put the scenes in context when you were filming? >> well you know we're always used to that taking things out of order and so it just becomes a matter of tracking your character and the nuances of

that and mostly it was just joyous to see how the art department changed, you know, the courthouse square three different times completely. that movie magic is still awesome to me and such an incredible thing to be part of. >> it is still awesome. you think 30 years later, does a day go by that someone doesn't approach you about "back to the future" other than signing underwear? do they know more about the movie than you do at this point? >> yeah that happens a lot. i used to joke when i was younger, i've been in the business so long it's been 30 years. now it's actually been 30 years. i can't believe this movie is that old and still beloved. my husband is howie deutsch, and

there are four generations of deutsch girls who love this movie, movie. >> fans are always asking if there will be another "back to the future" sequel. do you think that will happen? >> i doubt it will happen. i guess bob zemeckis says absolutely not, but i bet you maybe in 20 30 years, somebody will remake it again. >> 20 or 30 years. well, we hope you will still be a part of that. before we go i know you're in the studio working on the next abc series "switched at birth." what can we expect to see? >> oh there is a lot of drama. my character, katherine kennish and her husband, they have money problems. there is a pregnancy, there's new boyfriends. it's a great season and to be in its fourth season and still have such great stories that are

sunday, july 5, the melissa harris-perry show. hundreds of protesters gathering in front of the south carolina state house in columbia saturday demanding that the confederate flag be taken down from capitol grounds. the state legislature will begin debating monday about whether to take down that flag and could vote as early as this week. american iranian and european diplomats working around the clock in vienna this weekend, hoping to strike a deal that would limit iran's nuclear capabilities and limit the sanctions against iran. there are still several sticking points there, including whether sanctions could automatically be snapped back into place if iran violates the agreement. a deal could come as early as monday night. and the people of greece. right now this very hour voting in a referendum that could determine the country's political and economic future. joining me now from london is

marcus sarksndu, columnist for the times. we have two hours until those polls closed the latest from reuters showing that for voter turnout, they don't really have enough for a referendum to go through. but if the referendum doesn't go through, could we see more of a financial shuttering not only in greece but the united states? we have only two hours. >> i think it's possible the referendum doesn't resolve anything, at least in the short run. the polls i have seen show pretty much a dead heat and the information you just gave we'll see what sort of result we get. but more importantly, the disagreement isn't just between yes and no there is a disagreement on what the referendum actually means. what are they voting on? >> what are they voting on? >> well as you know the formal question is about the last offer that greece's creditors gave to

greece a week ago, but of course the creditors have withdrawn that offer, it's no longer on the table, and it's a very complicated question. so it's questionable what a no vote means. the voters going to the voting boxes probably have a different opinion on what they're voting about. but the rest of europe have tried to decline the vote about whether they want to be in the euro or not. >> one way we can see it and feel it not only through the headlines is through our 401(k)s, retirement funds. those took a big hit early in the week. might we see more of that? >> i think what the worst thing is for markets is continued uncertainty. there has been a lot of fear in europe about a sovereign default, but markets can take a default, even a sovereign default, in their stride. what they suffer much more from is continued uncertainty about which way things are going to go. as long as there is uncertainty, you don't want to invest you don't want to put your money

anywhere, you want to pull it out. and with that uncertainty, there is a big question about whether the country will stay in the euro or not, you can imagine more turmoil until that is settled. >> fear is as real as it is, is what you're saying, because people feel it and they do react to it. no or yes? we will know in the next 60 minutes in terms of what happens in greece. what are the two economic outcomes for the eurozone and for the united states? >> i think ultimately the question -- it will depend on how the rest of europe interprets the result. if they say, we interpret this as the greeks not wanting to do what it takes to be in the euro we will make it very difficult and painful for them to stay. because, you know, they can't be kicked out. there is no legal, formal way to do that, but the rest of europe can make life pretty miserable inside, including making sure the banks remain shut.

then there is the disaster scenario. that would be quite catastrophic not only for greece but for the eurozone and world markets in general. the other scenario is unfortunately, probably more negotiations, more uncertainty, but hopefully with some light at the end of the tunnel. >> and the current government does not want it yet the conservatives, those who are outside of the ruling party right now, do want it. so it's also a political issue, certainly, in greece at the moment. mark sanbu in london thank you very much for your coverage on greece and sharing your perspective on that. two hours they'll be voting in greece and we'll be covering that for you throughout the morning here on msnbc. at least 14 people injured last night when the deck on a beach house in north carolina collapsed. a family gathered to take a picture on the deck of the house when the deck fell beneath them causing them to fall about 10

feet to the ground below. authorities say at least two of the 14 were in critical condition last night. join us now in emerald isle sarah dallof. sarah, what do we know about the injured? >> good morning, richard. the injured range in age. this was a family reunion of several generations gathered at the beach house behind me to celebrate the fourth of july. it was supposed to be an incredibly picturesque moment with the sand and the surf behind them but that changed when the deck gave way and everyone fell to the floor. witnesses heard screams. they ran over to find a pile of people on top of each other, on top of the wood from the deck. you can really hear the urgency of the situation from emergency calls.

several people taken, 14 people taken, rather to the hospital where two of them are in critical condition. the family regrouping, packing thirp up their bags, heading out to see people still in the hospital. richard, it was just a truly, truly sad incident. back to you. >> on a holiday, no doubt. thank you very much sarah dallof in emerald isle north carolina. the u.s. plays in the finals in vancouver. tonight the u.s. women are hoping to win a third world cup title. joining us now live from vancouver is nbc's jacob rascon. jacob, this is a world cup finals rematch, and boy, i can bet from the july 4th holiday and now today, it's been nonstop for americans there celebrating. >> reporter: they have some fire in them, you can tell in those

press conferences, and they remember that day well four years ago when they lost in germany. they remember it well and they want to press the reset button. this is a very rare rematch. they lost last time giving up a goal three minutes before the end of the game and then losing in penalty kicks. that day has been a motivating factor to make sure they prepare with everything they've got. if they win, it will be the first time in 16 years. last time they won, 1999 was a moment in women's soccer in the usa. since that time support for that game has only exploded. if they win, it will be a record three times that the women in the usa have taken that home. they won in 1991 and then as we said said, they have a new team they have a lot of young players. but they also have people like hope solo the goalie in the game who has only given up one goal this entire world cup. the last five games have been shutouts.

they have the best striker in the game the most goals in the game man or woman, and both teams have a lot of motivation. japan four years ago was a cinderella story, and they want to show it wasn't just a fad, and they want to have a moment in their country knowing those girls want to grow up more and more of them wanting to play the game. if they can win this time it will be like 1999 all over again, they hope. another explosion of support for the game and of course among the very many millions of people watching will be a lot of those younger girls' aspiring future professional soccer players. it's a very exciting day. reporting live in vancouver, i'm jacob rascon. richard, back to you. >> david,jacob, i won't ask you what your prediction is but mine is

2-0. you can catch that at 7:00 p.m. eastern, by the way. you do want to see this crucial matchup. many americans said happy 239th birthday yesterday to the us of a, including some 3 million people who lined the east river of new york city to watch the macy's fireworks spectacular, the biggest fireworks in the country with 50,000 shells exploded over 25 minutes from four barges. and the top dog of competitive eating was dee drone. joey chestnut lost to matt stoning. he put away 52 dogs in 22 minutes. he's one, 132 pounds? how did he do that? mickey suto took home the prize after downing 38 hot dogs.

i don't know if i could make it to six. we also have developing news aside from all the fun stuff that's been happening. we're awaiting comments from secretary of state john kerry on ongoing nuclear talks taking place in vienna. we expect that to happen in the next 30 minutes going live there. official presidential candidates, we have that as well, and how some are handling conversations on race. ♪ i built my business with passion. but i keep it growing by making every dollar count. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one.

the race for president got a little more crowded this week. governor chris christie joined the contest for the republican nomination in new jersey tuesday before setting off for new hampshire. he will be speaking at the town hall each day for three days in a row. the government primary now has a

fifth addition jim webb. webb who joins hillary clinton, bernie sanders, martin o'malley in the democratic race he made his announcement where he talked about the long odds facing his campaign. still booming from the probably running to the definite column in terms of republican candidates are wisconsin governor scott walker who is expected to make his announcement on july 13. and ohio governor john kasich whose official campaign launch will be on july 21st. christina beltran and washington robert cranum nbc contributor for the bipartisan center and molly molly here also. i want to look at what the topic

has been and probably will be for a while and this is what he wants, is donald trump and his statements, right, about those who are coming from mexico. will this -- and it's early, right -- will this continue to be the anchor holding back the republican party so they can change america? many of those, quote, unquote, mainstream conservatives on the right don't want him to be saying this. >> right, right. i think the bigger problem for them is he's going to continue to be a presence. he's been lashing back at everybody who criticizes him so he's certainly going to be a voice going forward, but i think a bigger problem for the republican party right now is the fact that the things he said have real resonance with republican primary electorate. they sort of enjoy this hateful speech he engaged in. the tea party as a segment of the electorate is very anti-immigrant. in some ways trump is sort of

the republican party's id. he's saying what a lot of people in the republican primary actually believe. the big problem is -- it's easy to attack donald trump sort of figuring out what will the rest of the candidates do when it comes to dealing with him. they're either pandering or there is a lot of cowardice. they don't want to say anything because they have an electorate who donald trump resonates with so there is a problem here and it's bigger than donald trump. >> we have ted cruz responding to statements that trump had made and he did it this morning on "meet the press" and we also got a response from chris christie. we'll play both of those and then i'd like to get the panel's response to that. >> i salute donald truchmp for focusing on the need to address illegal immigration. the washington cartel doesn't want to address that. the washington cartel doesn't believe we need to secure the borders. the washington cartel supports

amnesty, and i think amnesty is wrong, and i salute donald trump for focusing on it. >> it's about eight or nine times, and i'll say it again, the comments don't replace orders. >> you saw this happen before. you're looking at two republican candidates responding to another republican candidate who seems to be driving where the boat needs to go right now, but is there concern here as you watch this in this latest phase, this latest cycle, that the key latino-american vote might get lost again? >> i'm confused, because if you look at the comments of chris christie, you look at the comments of jeb bush who actually pushed back trump's comments and said it has no place in the republican party, that's the mainstream republican party here. i would like to see some data in

which she said the tea party is against immigration, because nothing could be farther from the truth from what i've seen. they said they're against illegal immigration, which is totally different. donald trump is not going to be a republican nominee for president. he has always said bottommbastic things. we know he's saying this for shock quality. the other people who do have a chance at nomination kasich bush, maybe scott walker they've said let's have a conversation about how we make sure illegal immigration is contained, but let's also make sure our borders are secure and let's also have a conversation that george w. bush started in 2004 about understanding how we can make sure that we still are a nation of immigrants but also make sure that we curtail the illegal immigration process. so it's much more nuance much more complex than what we had a conversation about a few minutes

ago. >> and mitt romney coming out this weekend saying he's also against trump's statements so far to date. molly, i want to get your opinion. can we expect the trump factor to be a recurring theme, do you think? >> i think i'm with the other panelists here in that trump obviously doesn't stand much of a shot to get the nomination. how much he controls the news cycle is how much attention we give these comments. but even if that's true i do think there is a danger in that misinformation. the attention that trump gets, he can spread that message, and there are inaccuracies there. even what senator ted cruz said illegal immigration in the united states have been stagnant for years. when you talk about border security first immigration policies, that's actually not very different from the democrats, in fact who similarly argue that we need to have secure borders. so i think the misinformation

danger will be an issue with trump so long as he's given the attention that we give him for making those kinds of statements. >> i want to hop over since we are talking about the issue of ethnicity. bobby jindal criticized by those in the south asian american community as well as the american asian community for not being in connection with them. he responded to that by saying in a tweet, but rest assured i'm tanned rested and ready for this fight. then followed up with t-shirts with a similar message on top of that. very quickly -- all of you, what do you think about this issue and the ability to respond to race, not only with an aging american electorate but also in the republican selection of the 14 candidates? very quickly to you first, christine. >> nothing says winner with a campaign slogan that references richard nixon. i do think that the realization

that you can be of a certain background. but the policy preferences of that community are something very different, so i think one of the issues for the asian american community is bobby jindal. he may have shared historical family issues but that's different than policy support. >> your thought? >> i think it speaks to the complexity of the grounding of america, and how the grounding of america is becoming much more politically active than before and how when they see someone who looks like them or claims to be of the same ethnic diversity of them they want to make sure they're represented on the campaign trail. it's a good thing and it's a good thing for democracy. >> molly? >> i think it's interesting that the jindal campaign seems to be trying to neutralize the point about his background when before jindal was sort of a rising star in the party that was seen as a great strength as a more diverse candidate that perhaps is more reflective of a more diverse electorate where the gop has struggled with that in the

past. i'm not sure i understand the strategy they're employing here. >> molly otool erkse, the rest of you, have a great sunday. llion, four hundred thirty-four thousand three hundred eleven people in this city. and only one me. ♪ i'll take those odds. ♪ be unstoppable. the all-new 2015 ford edge.

they are a resistant to superbugs who pose more threats to public health. are we doing anything to stop this problem? joining me is an associate in medicine and infectious disease specialist. doctor, good to have you, and let me ask you this first question. does it make sense? are we overstating it are we understating this problem? >> just to gather some understanding of what the problem is with bacterias, there are about 2 million expected infections in the u.s. each year that are due to resistant bacterias and about 23,000 deaths that will result directly due to these infections. >> is that average compared to other a flikzfflictions out there like colds and flus? >> right, right.

these are infections related to bacteria, including tuberculosis. the other infections could be like you said influenza and outbreaks, the common cold. that is not part of this 2 million infections. 2 million infections due to drug-related bacteria. >> got it. >> it costs about $35 million a year, and this is back in 2008 and out of those, 20 million or so are direct cost of taking care of infections. >> so it's the cost of treating the infections -- is it the economic impact as well? >> on the society. >> so you sized it for us. this is an issue. the issue about antibiotics in meat, as we were just talking about, is that a real concern? i mean the white house, as we were just stating, is coming forward and saying, hey, we don't like this. >> and i agree with them. people have been talking about this for decades now, how

serious -- potentially serious this is. and you questioned how does bacteria get into something that i cook? because cooking actually does kill bacteria. people think about how contaminated salmonella could be in chicken meat and therefore, all the precautions in preparing chicken. but once you cook it, you take care of the threat, so to speak, and then the bacteria is killed. the way the bacteria gets into our food is not only contaminated meat that has not been properly cooked but, more importantly, through various different products on the farm where there is a runoff of the feces from these animals into the water, in the irrigation water. >> other points of contact. >> other points of contact, especially leafy vegetables, fruits. >> we have to go here doctor but what percentage would you guess or estimate when you

brought up this 2 million number is caused by this antibiotics coming through meat that we eat? if you were to guess, is it 2% is it 50%? we have to go but i want to get a number from you. >> that would be very arbitrary. i do not have that information, but i would say 20-plus to 30% of the bacteria in meat comes from that source. >> doctor thank you very much for your help on that. dr. amar safdar. beachgoers are anticipating sharks. and soon we expect secretary kerry to come to that microphone to tell us how talks are going with iran in vienna. day nine. we'll get to that very shortly. stick around.

when i started at the shelter, i noticed benny right away. i just had to adopt him. he's older so he needs my help all day. when my back pain flared up we both felt it i took tylenol at first but i had to take 6 pills to get through the day. then my friend said "try aleve". just two pills, all day. and now, i'm back for my best bud! aleve. all day strong and try aleve pm now with an easy open cap.

especially the poor. this is expected to attract more than a million people. not only are eduadorans going to attend, but neighboring peru is expected to be there as well. they are hoping during the papal visit there will be a respite from the civil denominations that have been in habiting this country for the past month, two tax hikes that are very unpopular, one a hike in the increase, one in the gains tax. he has taken those off the table because he wants the focus on the pope's visit to be in the past papal visits and not local politics. there will be lots of security personnel on hand to keep the pope and all who want to see him in he caneduador safe. >> thaur for that report.

now to the news in the united states seven people have been attacked by sharks in the past three weeks in north carolina. the most recent a 63-year-old man man was injured. joining us now from los angeles is ralph collier, president and founder of the shark research committee and the director of the global shark attack file. ralph, we've been watching the numbers here and we're seeing different things happening this year that's causing this uptick in shark bites. >> it's unusual to have this many events in such a short period of time. if we go back to the year 2011 there were seven shark attacks in north carolina during that year but that was over the course of the entire year. this probably is the result of some unique oceanographic conditions where prey is coming in close to shore, the sharks are following the prey.

unfortunately, people are around in the water and you're going to have these interactions from time to time. >> these interactions what should folks look for and what should they do if they do see a shark? >> well, if you see a shark, the best thing to do is to keep it in sight at all times and slowly retreat. go back to a point of safety whether that would be the beach or a boat. get out of the water, wait for the animal to leave the area. try to avoid areas where sharks have been sighted previously. definitely avoid the area in and around fishing piers. it's not that those people are deliberately attracting sharks but the sharks might be there because of the activity of the fish they're trying to catch. >> if you're getting attacked and getting bitten do you punch it in the nose as some people say? >> that's when your survival instinct takes over and we could give out all sorts of

instructions, you should do this, you should do that. you're going to do instinctively needs to be done to protect yourself. don't wear brightly colored contrasting colors in bathing wear. sharks, some species, see color, so they might be attracted to that. don't wear jewelry in the water. it will flash. it could represent a bait fish swimming around and the shark will come in and go after that. there are some things you can do to minimize the likelihood of an attack, but once it occurs get out of the water, control the bleeding and call the emergency personnel. >> quickly, the context of what we're seeing so far this season. we have to think back to "jaws," that was set on the east coast as well, yet really when you look at the east coast and shark attacks, don't you have to go back to the '60s and '70s for a very large number of attacks? >> florida every year notoriously has a large number of attacks due to the beach populations and the water temperature and a myriad of

other artifacts that you have down there. normally though we have low numbers of attacks, very few fatalities. this is just a unique situation this year with these oceanographic conditions that are probably drawing the sharks into these shallow areas. >> thank you, ralph collier, in los angeles for your information today. >> thank you. still to come on msnbc, forget the blockbuster movies for just a minute. we'll discuss the other summer films you'll want to know about. we continue to monitor the situation in vienna austria. we expect senator john kerry to go right there any moment. we'll take you to the discussion on it ranthe iran nuclear talks. i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy for my studio. ♪

yesterday while the rest of us were watching fireworks across the country u.s.

authorities were keeping attention on possible attacks from isis. >> reporter: the coast guard patrolled the u.s. hudson river on friday just one of the patrols across the country. terrorism officers were on the streets in numbers not seen in recent years. in washington d.c. police lined the national mall. but by evening, things were familiar, fireworks on the fourth of july. american celebrated independence day amid new concerns of terrorism. officials insisted there were no known credible threats. >> it's not so much what we know that concerns us but what we might not know. >> reporter: the cause of concern for the holiday over overlapped with the muslim holiday of ramadan. terrorism analyst latham corey says since then isis has kept up steady pressure on social media, releasing messages like

this one from a man claiming to be american fighting isis in iraq and syria. america is terrified of july 4th now, he says. >> he's saying i'm aware of what's in your news cycle, i know you're worried and i know about these alerts. >> exactly. essentially he's acknowledging all of that and he is happy about it. >> reporter: experts say the propaganda may be having an effect. but recent study of terrorism arrests found an increase in cases involving individuals accused of plotting attacks in the united states in the name of isis. the fbi has stepped up arrests of people who have been under surveillance for months suspected of plotting home-grown attacks. all of this follows a string of attacks overseas. less than two weeks ago, 38 people were killed in a shooting in a beach resort in tunisia. isis claimed credit for the attack along with an attack the same day in kuwait which killed 27 people. in new york city on saturday families visiting with young children said they were focused on enjoying the holiday. >> this is kind of a once in a

lifetime opportunity. i've never been here before so i want to take in what i can. >> are you glad you're here with your family today on independence day? >> yeah. >> reporter: what are you going to do next? what's next on the agenda? >> i think we're going to go eat. >> and richard, officials said all along americans should enjoy themselves this weekend, but they said if you see something, say something. and richard, here in the u.s. law enforcement has begun focusing on people at home who may be inspired by isis to take action here along with traveling overseas to join isis in iraq or syria. >> certainly here jamie, a different ring to the holiday as you've been talking about. isis social media seems to be having some effect on recruitment. what do you know about that? >> reporter: the study i mentioned found 56 people have been charged in federal court with supporting isis from march of last year to late june of this year. and it found that 45 of those 56

cases involved communications sympathetic to isis over social media. 18 of those people richard, were discovered by law enforcement because of their postings on social media, and at least one more man was arrested last monday in new jersey. the study is from the center on national security of wharton law school. >> we talked about it so much but didn't have the numbers. thank you so much jamie. outdoor music festival season in high gear. we're in july and we have the rundown in best summer fests for you to check out. plus you heard about "magic mike" and "jurassic world." up next though we'll take a closer look at some under the radar movies that started generating a lot of buzz. you may not have heard of them. ♪

they were duking it out for the top slot. in the end, guess what? pixar's brainy animated hits topped the box office proving that stars were no match for a little girl named riley and some dog gone good animation. we heard all about the blockbusters, but that's the point. what's under the radar? clay joins me. clay, the new amy winehouse documentary features the singer who died from alcohol poisoning in 2011. is that one of the under the radar films we were just bringing up? >> absolutely richard. the documentary actually came out july 3rd. it did really well at the five theaters in the box office. this is this 20th century social media blog world we're in right now. we lost amy four years ago this

month, actually. this documentary is heartbreaking, it's unforgettable. for me i think it turns the mirror on the audience saying is it worth it to pick apart these celebrities like this? we also saw amy winehouse fall apart in a way, but this documentary really humanizes her, and it's going to open again on july 10 and i think it's a must-see. >> nina simone in "train wreck 2" -- i'm sorry, we have to interrupt you, clay. we're going straight to vienna austria, where john kerry coming to the microphones discussing the nine-day discussions on a deal with russia. take a listen. >> thank you very much for your patience. i know everybody has been waiting for a long period of time and i'm not going to go on at length at all, but i did want to bring everybody up to speed because i think there is a lot of speculation, and i want to

make sure that it's based on some sense of reality. this evening my foreign minister colleagues are returning here to vienna. and it is now time -- there we go -- it's now time to see whether or not we are able to close an agreement. in many ways this negotiation has been going on for literally a number of years. and over the past few days we have in fact made genuine progress. but i want to be absolutely clear with everybody. we are not yet where we need to be on several of the most difficult issues. and the truth is that while i completely agree with foreign minister zareef that we have never been closer at this point

this negotiation could go either way. if hard choices get made in the next couple of days and made quickly, we could get an agreement this week. but if they are not made we will not. so our teams remain very hard at work in the coming hours and days. we're going to go as hard as we can. we are not going to be negotiating in the press. we'll be negotiating privately and quietly, and when the time is right, we will all have more to say. [ inaudible questions ] >> right now we're aiming to try to finish this in the time frame that we've set out. that's our goal. ask we're and we're going to put every

pressure possible on it to try to do so.

taban. our team put in a lot of time. everybody is negotiating hard. that's what makes this difficult. but our hope is we get an agreement that is fair that gets the job done and we can hold our heads high and show the world that countries can come together and make things happen. but we're not there yet. i emphasize that. we have difficult issues still to resolve. thank you all very much. thank you, all. thank you. >> all right, john kerry -- let's listen. >> thank you all very much. >> secretary of state john kerry coming to the microphones there. it's getting very close to 5:00 p.m. in the evening there. you got a sense from what he's saying he wants to make sure that despite the reports out there, we are all following here in the news industry that we got the proper information. as he goes back in there, it's

the ninth day. it's a record number of days if a -- in a row that they have undertaken this objective which is to come to an agreement with regards to the nuclear program there in iran. joining us right now to reflect on what we just heard is richard nephew fellow at the center for global energy. richard, when you look at this you have an interesting perspective, because just in january you left working with this secretary of state. with this secretary of state, he would come to you and say, richard nephew we're thinking about sanctions. what's right, what's not, what can and cannot we do and you're also an expert on nuclear proliferation. good to have you here today. what do you make of what he said? >> i think frankly it's what i would expect. we're at crunch time. we're at the time when the iranians are going to have to make some very serious decisions about how much access in transparency they're going to give on the nuclear program in

terms of sanctions relief. it was always going to be an 11-hour, 12-hour, 13-hour negotiation. >> a hoarse voice, on crutches. are these major issues or is he playing what he needs to play? >> no these are major issues. things like granting access to military bases is as important as it can be but it's also serious and dangerous to the iran irani government as it possibly can be. i would suppose he and zareef have spent hours going back and forth on these issues. >> are they in compatico? >> i think they get along well but they're both bringing very different issues. >> you're very formal you're sitting across. what's it like to be that fly

when you're trying to negotiate something that is so crucial to middle east peace, and therefore, global peace? >> i think it's a mix in environmental pieces. there are times when they sit one on one in more comfortable chairs and locations, but the bottom line is they're spending the time with one another to try to figure out solutions. not just word solutions but actual practical solutions. >> we have to go here richard, but where do they actually make the deals? does it happen around that table, does it happen at dinner does it happen around a beer? >> beer probably not, but it would certainly happen around various kinds of tables and coffee bars. it would really depend on when the political circumstances of both countries demand. we'll take a quick break. we have a lot more for you right after this. ♪

hi sarah. >> hello, richard. this was supposed to be so picturesque with the surf behind them and all that disappeared when the deck gave way. 14 people transported and treated for injuries. two to three of those we're told are critical injuries. witnesses who heard the deck crash knew immediately something was terribly wrong. >> it was tragic. it was truly, truly sad to watch. there was kids lined up on the grass watching the parents and grandparents. you could tell it was a family reunion. we had seen them on the beach. it was really sad. >> how quickly did it happen? >> the deck collapsed right away. it was just a thud. i was talking to my dad and i didn't see it but then -- and the emergency vehicles came pretty fast. >> reporter: family members who were not injured or who were

released from the hospital were packing up the cars today getting back on the road. meanwhile, an inspector has been out here taking pictures looking at the scene. no word yet, though richard, on what caused this deck to collapse so suddenly. back to you. >> thank you so much. nbc's sarah dallof in north carolina. we're watching the clock here for one key reason. in about 60 minutes the polls will close in greece where citizens are vote in a referendum that could determine the fit of the country's rule in party and have economic ripple effects around the world, including the united states. this as they struggle with a debt crisis in greece. for more on that nbc news correspondent keir simmons in athens greece. >> this could rock the financial markets. millions of greeks are voting on whether they should pay back the billions of dollars in debt that europe is demanding. even the big prime minister is voting no and urging other greeks to do the same.

but if it is a no vote then that will mean that eyes will turn to the financial markets in the morning, because it will cause a political and financial crisis for europe. behind me you can see the a acropolis. many people know greece as a place they have come on vacation. even vacation bookings here are way down as greeks are split right down the middle on their future. back to you. >> keir thank you so much there in athens. as that vote continues, 55 minutes left. we're watching that. what we understand is that right now the number of voters participating, 35%. they need 40 though for this referendum to go through. for more on those economic issues, though in new york business reporter for the international business times. jessica, i'm looking at this and we have been watching this so keenly. and maybe we're not understanding this but i look at the markets and i look at how much debt is owned, because we're talking about the debt

that greece has. very little is owned by the united states. that doesn't mean we should not pay attention to that. put it together for me. >> it's such a tiny part of europe's overall economy, about 2% of this gdp. we saw the markets soar last monday but the markets rebounded, hoping we would get a deal with this referendum and that didn't happen. it's sort of twofold where could this ignite some political contagion where, say, greece leaves the eurozone? would other highly in debt countries want to leave as well? they're the number three and fourth largest economies there and that's why you're seeing this volatility in the financial markets, because it's both economic as well as political. >> what are we missing in this discussion? >> something interesting i don't think gets talked about enough. say there is a no vote. that doesn't necessarily mean greece will leave the eurozone because what would you do after 24 hours?

it would be a catastrophe. you can't just make up a new currency. you can't just be a drop mate. >> drop mate is the term they currently use. >> yes. there are countries not even in the european union that actually use the euro as their defacto currency. they could still use the euro but even if there is a no vote overnight, they will be in the eurozone. >> so for people who are not economists like you, what should we be watching for in the next 24 hours? the clock is ticking. >> absolutely. if there is a yes vote it means they are going to abide by what the creditors are saying and that would most likely mean the prime minister would have to step down because the citizens are basically losing their faith in him. whereas the no vote is more a leverage play on his part and he

can go back to the creditors and say, you know what it's not just my party that disagrees with this, it's the citizens as well, so he's going to use that to make terms in the agreement. >> are visitors worried about what's happening if greecen greece? >> yes. if you're born in the u.s. and doing business over there, they're getting hurt because people can't go and spend money in your business. that is concerning absolutely. secretary of state john kerry speaking just moments ago about the talks on iran's nuclear program. the united states and five other nations continue to hammer out the details of a final agreement, but secretary kerry saying they are not there yet. joining us from the site of the talks in vienna is host andrea mitchell of "andrea mitchell reports" and chief msnbc correspondent andrea mitchell. andrea we're on day nine now, a record number of days. secretary kerry coming to the microphone with crutches and a

hoarse voice, it appeared. what did you see from the comments he made? >> he is saying what we've been told privately, that while progress has been made he agrees with foreign minister zareef who put out a video saying they're closer than ever before. they've been doing this for 20 months and we've been covering this for 20 months and they go in and out of these rounds elevated from the technical staff to every few months the foreign ministers meeting. he said, yes, they are close. they did make a lot of progress but when the other ministers arrive tonight, it will remain to be seen if there is absolute in intransigence, and if they're making progress they will see if they go past tuesday, which is blowing past yet another deadline richard. >> he also said there were several other issues sticking points, that were very crucial. do we have any indication in terms of what those might be?

>> yes, indeed. we've been reporting, and it's very clear that they had while a tentative agreement at the staff level, a draft agreement on lifting u.s. and european sanctions, richard, they have not yet agreed on how to reimpose or snap back the u.n. sanctions without another vote by the u.n. security council. they're trying to do that so that it's automatic if something were to happen and iran did not live up to its obligations. that's very important to the u.s. secondly, they have still not agreed on access for u.n. inspectors to all these special sites that iran might have shut down or have closed off from the u.n. inspection teams. that's very important. and what they call transparency that is an explanation from iran to the u.n. nuclear agency about past suspicious or suspect possible military dimensions to its nuclear program over the past years. and finally, what and how and

when will iran resume advanced nuclear research at the tail end of this deal at different locations 10 and 15 years from now. i'm just giving you the bullet points. the details of all of this are highly complex. they're being negotiated by two nuclear businesses, the head of iran's agency and also our secretary, both nuclear physicists trained at mit. that's both more than you or i could deal with but trust me on this, they'll end up with hundreds and hundreds of technical pages if this all comes together. and the next deadline is tuesday. >> tuesday. with all that complexity andrea mitchell thank you so much for all that detail. we get a sense on why this is taking so much time and what is going on behind closed doors. andrea, thank you. live in vienna 6:00 p.m. local time.

5:00 p.m. local time excuse me. now let's bring in richard nephew. richard, we just heard from andrea mitchell. she's giving us a sense of it's as wide as it is deep. you are also an expert on nuclear proliferation. they have some physicists there? is this typical? throughout the last 20 months she's talking about. >> it's definitely typical at the expert level. i think the idea you're bringing the head of the iran atomic energy agency and the american atomic energy agency is unique and i think that describes both the sensitivity of these issues from a technical perspective and the political issues on both sides. >> we just got the report from kerry, andrea you now. how would summarize why this is so important based on where we're at in the process? >> well basically i would say this. first, for the iranians they are still trying to get some kind of understanding of when sanctions are going to come off and get confidence that they will come off. it would be very politically

dangerous for rohani to agree to any kind of deal without that lockdown. for the rest of the group, it's very imperative to get an understanding of both access and transparency to any nuclear sites or potential nuclear site they see might build. >> how might this be compared with or compared to the north korean complexities which have gone on forever as well with no outcome? >> well i would say this is actually somewhat more complex from the standpoint of involving not only the nuclear issue and nuclear issues both iranian and plutonium based. but also dealing with the kinds of sanctions that are in place. back in the north korea case, we didn't have very large sanctions involving oil. at the same time you had u.n. sanctions, european sanctions, we just didn't have that.

the complexity of the different pieces is much higher in itthe iran negotiations. >> you have the euro issues, the u.n. issues and the u.s. issues. you didn't have that with north korea. >> also with north korea, they weren't involved prior to the negotiations, iran has been for 30 years. it's more likely iran would be cheating than north korea. >> >> richard nephew thank you so much. still to come a critical moment in the debate over the confederate flag. are south carolina lawmakers closer to having it removed from capitol grounds? game on. the u.s. takes on japan in their quest for the world cup. we'll tell you all you need to do and how to root for them.

best goalies, considered by some to be the best goalie in the entire women's game. has had a shutout for the last five games. they have amy womback said to be the best striker in the game playing in the world cup. she's probably hungryer than anybody else. then we have younger players as young as 23 years old, and they're playing against japan that won four years ago and is hungry to come back and prove that it wasn't just a fad that they were cinderella coming back. very hungry for very different reasons playing at 7:00 p.m. tonight, 4:00 p.m. local time. the support herecelebration here is incredible. parties all night and everybody waiting for tonight.

maybe some troubles beginnings but then they kind of came away with great coaching great players, and now they've won and they know what they need to do. >> they've found their identity. i think probably 800 people were screaming at jill ellis to change the formation. she started at 4-2-2, and you basically absorb pressure. they went to a 4-3-3 which allows you to change defense up the field. if you watched the china game they turned china over four or five times on the field. i think jill ellis was a little bit stubborn she wanted to go with that formation. but i think enough people got in her ear and she changed it. >> you know that being a championship team, it's kind of tough to schangchange midstream. what should we watch, all of us everyday fans of team usa. what should we watch for tonight when that game kicks off in about eight hours? >> what you need to watch out for is carlie lloyd.

the other thing you need to watch for the united states is they need to change their physicality with japan. we have a huge advantage size sizewise. saying that, japan is extremely quick. when you defend japan, you have to defend them outside in so the outside backs will be tight on the line, using the line as help, and then funneling in the middle and trying to turn it over from there. >> so watch the middle. bruce, thank you so much. i know you're hailing from washington, d.c. i said los angeles. and i was looking over your shoulder going, he's in l.a. but he's got the capital over his shoulder. he's a very patriotic guy. thank you so much bruce, and then, a real pleasure to meet you. >> likewise. >> don't forget you can catch usa versus japan live on telemundo 7:00 p.m. eastern,

4:00 p.m. pacific. wimbledon's sibling showdown between serena and venus, the williams sisters. this will be the first time the sisters will meet in a grand slam match. we have to go back to 2009. serena is ranked number one in the world while her big sister is now ranked number 16 which is also a big move for her as of late. this will be their 26th showdown overall. serena has won 14 of the previous 25. you can tell they're best buddies regardless of having played so many times. this is the sisters' sixth face-off at wimbledon, serena winning three of the previous matches, venus winning two. they could even it up. when they were asking who will win tomorrow each sister said they will be cheering for the other one to win. they've always said that. a critical moment in the debate over the confederate flag. are south carolina lawmakers closer to having it removed from

capitol grounds? a royal celebration fit for a princess. we have all the pomp and circumstance as princess charlotte's christening gets under way just moments from now. whoa whoa whoa! who's responsible for this?!? if something goes wrong, you find a scapegoat. ...rick. it's what you do. ahhhhhhhh! what'd you say? uh-oh! kelly! if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do. rick. don't walk away from me. ahhhhhhhh! people with type 2 diabetes come from all walks of life. if you have high blood sugar ask your doctor about farxiga. it's a different kind of medicine that works by removing some sugar from your body. along with diet and exercise farxiga helps lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes.

this week could be the critical week in death baitthe debate over the confederate flag in south carolina. the state house was the site of an naacp rally where more than 1,000 people came out to call for the removal of the flag on the state house grounds. tomorrow state lawmakers are set to begin debating the future of that flag and the recent survey of those legislators is giving some indication of what that vote might be and what that future might be. when asked about how they intended to vote at least 33 senators and 83 house members in the south carolina legislature said the flag should come down. a consensus which appears to meet the two-thirds majority required for both chambers to

remove the flag. joining me now from charleston is south carolina representative david mack iii. good to see you. when you look at the polling data, do you agree with what it's suggesting? will this happen? is it pretty much on par? >> we're hopeful, we're prayerful that the numbers will hold up. of course, with this horrendous tragedy in charleston what has happened and it's moved people emotionally. what's interesting about this richard, is the call for the flag did not come from the legislative black caucus or the naacp. we were too caught up in our pain and our grief and our agony, anger with what happened with the tragedy. but what has happened is that republican legislature, the business community, the governor the people that were not necessarily for it coming down to begin with they have led the charge. so we are very very hopeful that beginning debate tomorrow

we can get this done. >> you know representative we did have many from those communities that you discussed on msnbc, and they were very clear this was a time for mourning, for remembering those who were lost and when asked that question they were very clear that that was the focus. so you're right, it's coming it seems, from a very wide group of constituencies there in south carolina as we look at what's happening. so what is going to be next? when you look at this what are the arguments that you might expect to hear from both sides this coming week in the legislature when it's being taken up? >> well you know we've already -- i've gotten materials. i'm sure all the legislators have gotten materials from the confederacy making the argument that this is really heritage as opposed to hate -- pardon me -- but i think the key element is

what that flag means. we have a lot of very in my opinion, very bad monuments throughout the state of south carolina that reminds us of slavery, things named after ben tillman, wade hampton, john c. calhoun. they're bad enough, but when you fly a flag that means whatever flag you fly, it represents you, what you are now. that's what makes this flag so problematic flying on the state house grounds. i have no problem -- >> have other representatives or constituents said that to you? >> i think the number has grown. i think there has always been a significant segment in the state of south carolina that have felt that way. but with this tragedy that has happened in charleston it has moved people emotionally, and i'm hopeful, prayerful that that emotion will turn into a true commitment. i love the definition of

commitment being that commitment is what you do after the emotion is gone. so according to the numbers, we are hopeful that we can get this done that enough people are committed in the house and the senate to get this done. >> thank you so much state representative david mack iii from charleston south carolina. have a great rest of your weekend. another sign of growing public opposition to the confederate flag. daytona international speedway is offering to exchange any confederate flag for an american flag for those attending today's race. nascar has already asked fans to refrain from displaying the confederate flag at its races but stopped short of an all-out ban. the flag has been common at nascar races for decades but has recently been criticized by superstars like dale earnhardt jr. and jeff gordon. still to come a big celebration for the tiniest of all the royals. we'll have the inside scoop of

happening this hour across the pond princess charlotte, the two-month-old daughter of the duke and duchess of cambridge will be khris n>> kris: khrischristend in st. mary of magdalene church. people have gathered outside the church to see the family appear together for the first time since charlotte's birth. joining us now, all things royal, nbc correspondent, kelly. >> i forgot my hat. what was i thinking? we haven't seen the pictures yet but we are getting a description of what's happening at st. mary

m magdalene. george walked in with prince william. he was wearing red shorts we understand, walking hand in hand with his father. you're seeing some of the pictures. that's camilla and prince charles entering the chapel. kate entered -- walked along this walkway pushing a baby stroller with charlotte inside and then we understand picked her up out of the stroller and took her into the chapel. so just now getting these lovely pictures. the ceremony itself is private. it will last about 45 minutes. we know some of the details involved. charlotte will be christened in this royal font. it's a very large, silver bowl which is always used for royal christenings, and that is where the holy water from the river jordan will be held. that's used for the christening, and of course -- and there we

see the pictures everybody has been waiting for, the pictures of kate pushing baby charlotte, and, of course george and william walking alongside. some very traditional elements involved in this christening, and then after about 45 minutes the family will come out once again and fans will get to see them a second time. richard? >> we always want to be inside and see what's going on in there. i guess we have to read the tabloids or get the reports later on about what actually did happen in there. thank you very much kelly kobias in london. we're with nbc royal contributor camilla tombley. camilla, can you give us a sense of what's happening inside? i know kelly gave us some detail. anything more? >> richard, it's a very low key ceremony involving only 23

guests, would you believe. nothing too grand, nothing too fancy, very understated. we're talking about immediatefamily here. princess beatrice and eugenie are not here. we're going to have some readings, some hymns and the magical moment by the font this silver font that's been used for every royal baby since queen elizabeth was a child. the prince himself will be dressed in a gown made for royal babies. then they're all going to retire to sandringham house.

that's where the royals spend christmas every year. for what we call high tea, richard. so the quintessentially british affair, a few sandwiches a few piece of cake and some tea to wash it all down. >> you're making me hungry though, even though it may not be much is what you're saying. the godparents, the choices they had and the choice they made. interesting. >> amazingly surprising actually. we're taking bets on them. the couple has decided we don't need these people to be godparents because they'll have a very important role for charlotte as she grows up anyway. harry is going to be the favorite uncle and always there. they've chosen very close

friends. this couple has been surrounded by this so-called couple for years. equally, james meade and other close friends. we've got laura and the middleton family represented by them who is a close cousin with kate and many others. >> thank you so much. 4:40 local time and the christening ongoing right now. thanks so much. still to come summer safety tips. everything you need to know to protect your skin while having fun in the sun. and you said summer tv is just for reruns. we'll tell you about the coolest new shows you can watch right now.

this summer typically means longer days or the summer rather and some vacation time as well. more time outside and stronger

sun rays. but those rays can have harmful effects on skin no doubt. sun burn heat rashes skin cancer. is there a way, though to enjoy this time in the sun while staying safe and healthy? dr. goldberg clinical assistant professor of dermatology joins us now to share some tips with us. good day, doctor. we know everybody should wear sunscreen, it's often been said if you're going to go out in the sun, wear it. >> that's correct. everybody should wear sunscreen, sun protection every day no matter if you're going to the beach or just walking from your apartment to the office, you should have sunscreen on every day. >> what about this do we not talk about enough? >> most people do not use sunscreen correctly, most people do not use sunscreen every day, and when they do apply it they don't apply enough of it. i tell my patients every day you should be wearing a sunscreen, at least a moisturizer are spf

30. if you're going to be in the sun, you should wear spf 50 and reapplying it every two hours or so. >> we might be out at noon 2:00 or 3:00 and i guess if you're wearing it it should be for sure at that time. >> the worst sun is between 10:00 and 2:00. they go to the beach around noon and that's the worst time to be outside. not only should you wear spf 50 it's also important to wear sun-protective clothing. clothing has a upf factor hats with a large brim seek the shade. all of this is important. you really want to avoid that midday sun. >> dr. gary goldberg. stay out of the sun. just saying. summer used to be the sleeper season for tv. not anymore.

netflix, ammazon, network tv and cable are all offering programs this summer. the comedy "orange is newt black" and season 2 of "true detective." what else should we be watching? what's been flying under ratethe radar? what's should we binge on, jason? a new one has debuted on amazon. do you like it? >> amazon has had these shows like "trans parentparent"transparent." six hours, a couple where a woman moves to london becomes

pregnant, and he decides to move to london and they see if they can become parents. it's very funny. >> we're starting to see these different types of series not only on amazon but on netflix. the numbers are going down. i guess we're kind of trained to want a little bit more. >> we are. six episodes that's kind of the british model. the series over there are about that long. what we've seen in the last couple years, we're moving to this low budget series model. stories don't need 22 episodes to be told. this "transparency" is a perfect example. i didn't need more than what i saw. >> does it mean they're still making as much money with a shorter amount of episodes here? >> that's been one of the biggest problems how do you monetize that. they're slowly finding a way. >> we've got comedy central with "another period." that's a new show they've got.

then there's "unreal" on lifetime. how do you like those two? >> both of those are terrific kind of flying under the radar. comedy central, kardashians takes place in old times. >> mr. robot's on usa. that's a cyber thriller. many of these folks may not have heard of them. talk about these under the radar series coming out. are they really under ratethe radar or just part of the thing that we want to watch things all the time. >> summer is a good time to catch up on things you missed in the fall and the spring. i think there are more things coming out in the summer than any other time of the year and that makes it harder for these shows which are terrific to punch through and make a name

for themselves. all the shows we talked about today are definitely worth your time. >> and a good reason to stay out of the sun. jason, thank you so much. up still traveling over this long holiday weekend, we have tips on how to avoid last-minute snafus. ♪ i built my business with passion. but i keep it growing by making every dollar count. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy for my studio. ♪ and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... that's huge for my bottom line. what's in your wallet?

you may have heard the numbers, 42 million americans according to aaa traveling 50 miles from home or more this independence day weekend. many of those millions of miles of people probably making the return trips on are happening eerng either today or tomorrow. our guest joins us from los angeles to tell us what to expect on your way back from the holiday. of the 42 million travelers, rather -- yeah 42 million travelers, how many are driving and how many are flying? the vast majority of them are driving about 85% of those 42 million folks, i was with them on wednesday when i traveled more than 50 miles from my home

to spend the fourth of july on the shores of lake arrow head in southern california. but, yeah, that's the highest number of folks hitting the roads since 2007. we've been seeing a nice uptick year after year. people taking advantage of the pockets of opportunity, the holidays weekends. wednesday to sunday maybe monday. we're heading back out tomorrow monday assuming that most people will hopefully do the drive today and leave an extra lane for us as we head tomorrow tomorrow. >> so we're watching the flight cancellations. it is having a trickle effect right? a domino infect. when we look at the number of delays, do we expect that to get larger? >> certainly on a day like today, on a sunday even tomorrow monday july 6th those are going to be days to watch out for because of just the volume. we're looking at load factors on airplanes between 85 and 90%. that means that pretty much every single seat even that middle seat is going to be full is going to be occupied today and tomorrow. and as you see some of the busier airports in the areas like the northeast perhaps deal

with some delays. we're seeing some weather across parts of the country tomorrow. >> right. >> that will definitely have that trickle effect. aircraft get held back crews get held back. that can have an effect that can last into certainly tuesday even. >> so 35 flight cancellations so far. 270 u.s. flights face delays at this hour. about noon eastern, 9:00 in the west. who's responsible and -- this saulz a question right? who has to pay for that if you incur costs because of the delays? >> well, if it's mother nature's fault, then that's who's going to take the brunt of the blame here. airlines pretty much say hey, if weather is causing us to keep a aircraft grounded or cryew somewhere else that's not their fault. and what they're going to do is try to get you on the next available flight. can you be pro active certainly, and when we see weather conditions airlines will usually waive change fees. this can be in upwards of $200. if you can pro actively change

your flight take advantage of the waive change fees and take a flight day or two later, thn you're dealing with much better conditions and fewer headaches. otherwise, it's going to be sort of a waiting game until mother nature sort of moves along and we get back into a normal rotation here. >> and we've all been there. thank you so much. enjoy the rest of your weekend. >> same you to. >> on the other side of the break, the latest on today's big story. polls just about to close in greece as that country's citizens vote in a referendum today over accepting terms of a bailout to address the on going debt crisis. the very latest at the top of the hour. stick with us. everyone's raving! age defy from clairol the secret? superior gray coverage that leaves hair looking 10 years younger age defy from clairol ♪ every auto insurance policy has a number. but not every insurance company understands
