that's at number ones. hello everyone it's high noon in the east 9:00 a.m. out west. welcome to week"weekends with alex witt" witt". donald trump is expected to speak a short time from now as he continues his campaign pout west and is railing against immigration policy in the u.s. late yesterday in beverly hills trump doubled down on those criticisms. he also took aim at his opponent hillary clinton for supporting sanctuary cities. >> i think the sanctuary cities are a disgrace. i think it's a disgrace. and most people never even heard about it until the last week. sanctuary cities are a disgrace. and if hillary clinton, who just came out big in favor of sanctuary cities, if she's going to have that she's going to lose the election. >> let's go to msnbc's amanda sakuma in phoenix, arizona, where mr. trump is expected later today.

what kind of a rally are they anticipating there amanda? >> good day, alex. we're expecting the crowds to swell into the thousands. but not everyone coming to the heart of downtown phoenix is expected to be a supporter of donald trump's. we are expecting activists from the pro-immigrant rights community to be here to protest trump's address. and this shows the dynamic we had here in arizona where there's a strong grass-roots movement for immigrant rights while on a deep red state along the border. a lot of people from arizona are mixed on what to think of donald trump. >> i'm really impressed that finally somebody has the courage to talk about the reality of what's going on? >> the tone was arrogant at best and nonsensical at worst. what he said was just not true. >> reporter: it's very poignant that donald trump will be appearing on stage next to sheriff joe arpaio who is known

to be a very divisive character within the immigrant community. he has a very loyal following here, though for those who feel he's a vigilante in carrying out above and beyond immigration policies while the courts may see them as unconstitutional as well. so it will be a very unique dynamic. we expect some barn burning language out here. we also know that both trump and sheriff joe arpaio have been known to be -- to be in the birther movement a bit in questioning president obama's ethnicity. and so we should expect it to be a very interesting rally later tonight. >> yeah, i'll bet. amanda sakuma thank you for that. if any of you wondering what a sanctuary city is we will be speaking with the "washington post" and let you know if you're living in one or near one and what defines a sanctuary city. we'll also bring you donald trump's speech at the freedom fest in las vegas. also his news conference right after scheduled for 3:30 eastern. another big developing story at this hour.

afghan official have confirmed reports that the leader of isis in an eastern province has been killed. he was killed in a u.s. drone strike earlier this week. according to taliban sources, he was once part of the afghan taliban but there is some new information from washington at this hour so let's go to nbc's kristen welker at the white house. kristen, what have you learned about this? >> well alex u.s. officials questioning some of what we're learning from afghan officials. i'm going to read you some information we just got from nbc's jim migklaszewski who has been talking to defense and military officials. he tells me according to defense and military officials, the news that the u.s. has killed hafiz khan there's no proof or confirmation he was killed in a u.s. drone strike in eastern afghanistan and after several days now there are some real doubts about this. having said that alex according to the officials, three u.s. drone strikes on july 5 and july 7 against "terrorist militant groups" are believed to have killed several dozen

suspected isis and taliban leaders. here's why this is significant, alex. because typically you and i are talking about isis in syria and in iraq. now we're talking about isis in afghanistan. i just got off of the phone with a senior administration official and i asked if isis is essentially expanding and he said "look, over the past several months the administration has seen more groups in some of these areas like afghanistan, like libya, like yemen pledging allegiance to isis." however, what they're seeing in those regions is very different from iraq and syria. while isis is trying to actually claim territory in iraq and syria, in places like afghanistan they're more seeing localized groups pledge allegiance to isis. so a very different situation. however, it's obviously a pressing concern for this administration. and i think something we're going to continue to hear a lot more about. president obama is speaking from the pentagon earlier this week alex talked about the fact that you're seeing more groups pledge

allegiance to isis in some of these areas like afghanistan and libya and yemen and he said he called on the international community to try to deal with this growing threat and, of course, it's a threat back here at home as officials try to counter social media, which has tried to get recruits followers, isis followers here in the united states and other western nations who might carry out attacks in the name of isis. so a growing concern and it seem to be spreading to new territory as the united states continues to monitor this pressing problem. alex? >> which is a growing concern. once again, for relative to hafiz said khan it's not the u.s. that is confirming he's been killed, rather afghanistan at this point so there's still some confusion? >> that's a really important point to underscore. you have afghan officials who have been reported all morning long that they are quite confident this isis leader was killed. however, we are just learning moments ago that u.s. officials

have not been able to confirm that yet. at this point there are some doubts about whether or not that happened. based on my conversations, alex it seems like they're trying to get confirmation from the ground. as you know when you are talking about these conflict zones, it can incredibly difficult to get accurate information so u.s. officials want to be certain to know what happened before they come out and confirm or knock down these reports. >> we'll check back in with you and see if we get an update. let's go to other developing news from overseas. secretary kerry and iranian foreign minister zarif are meeting today along with their european partners at the iran nuclear talks in vienna. negotiators announced yesterday that the third deadline had come and gone and the talks could now go through monday. joining me from vienna is nbc's chief foreign affairs correspondent andrea mitchell. andrea, great to have you on the

broadcast. so what do you see as being the key issues? >> the arms embargo in particular this past week has become a big obstacle. i think they are probably trying to find a way to compromise it. but basically iran was insisting that the embargo on conventional weapons, and ballistic missile be lifted. these are three separate u.n. resolutions starting in 2006 then 2007 2009 that the international community fought very hard for to try to constrain iran's ability to buy and sell arms. and russia now has in the last couple days made it very clear they want this arms embargo lifted as well because guess who would sell these arms to iran and make money from it? russia. so vladimir putin came out and made this point and he was just coincidentally hosting iran's president rouhani in moscow at a separate summit this week. so all of this did roil the

waters. the u.s. claimed it was a last-minute upping of the ante by iran iran claimed john kerry was reneging on what he agreed to, to compromises on his embargo issue, that he had reneged after talking to president obama on wednesday night and getting tougher instructions. both sides probably a little posturing going on to try to show people back home the critics, the hard-liners in each capital that they are being tough, that they're negotiating to the last minute. well they've gone past the last minute. they've gone through three deadlines already. now the new deadline is monday. we think that there's even the possibility they could beat that and come up with a deal tomorrow. depends on how serious they are in the talks tonight and tomorrow. >> but andrea lifting the arms embargo, can the u.s. pass that at home? >> i don't think so. i think that's exactly why kerry and the u.s. negotiators are taking a hard line on it. this -- part of this is an arms embargo, by the way, that the current national security advisor susan rice fought tooth

and nail to get past the u.n. security council when she was our u.n. ambassador. so you have someone sitting at the president's right hand who is the biggest advocate of this arms embargo. you have to chairman of the joint chiefs martin dempsey, testifying to the arms services committee, to john mccain as chairman this past week saying that ballistic missiles in iran's hands would be a disaster and threaten the national security of the united states. so you've got plenty of critics in both parties who say that this is a non-starter. i interviewed chris koontz from the foreign relations committee, a democrat, he was in the white house with the rest of the democratic caucus and there were a lot of democrats as well as republicans back on the capital who just do not want to see this lifted. they may be able to finesse the language in it but this all has to be part of a new u.n. resolution that will codify what is being agreed to here on sanctions and other unanxiouses

and u.n. nuclear sanctions which would be lifted at some point as iran begins if the next couple of months disabling its nuclear capability. so all of this is a new resolution and they're negotiating that new u.n. resolution and whether or not it still includes the old arms embargo is one of the big remaining obstacles, alex. >> andrea i'm curious. what is your read as to whether or not this happens and if it does not and vienna everybody leaves, what does that mean. >> well there is one scenario where they would take a deep breath, time out, go back to their capitals come back in september. we've already gone past the point where they could have gotten and expedited congressional review 30-day review, that was thursday night, friday morning. so it's now a 60-day congressional review no matter when they finish. congress goes home in august that said they don't want to do

that. that would be a last ditch fallback position because their sense has been that every time the iranian negotiators go home they stiffen their spine and come back and try to relitigate stuff that had already been agreed to because they are in that environment where you have a lot of powerful people in iran who don't want this to happen. the people who do want this to happen is the population of iran they want to see those sanctions lifted so the betting in the white house has been that they don't want to go home empty handed, they want to get the sanctions lifted. but foreign minister zarif has to go home with something he can sell back home just as john kerry does. >> all right andrea mitchell in vienna, thank you so much for your comprehensive reporting. >> you bet. in other news now, lawmakers in greece have overwhelmingly approved a new reform package. greece's parliament voted on the government's reform proposal early this morning. it includes cutting pensions and raising taxes. today negotiators for greece will head to brussels to seek a third bailout and, if i proved, the country would get a new three-year loan package worth

almost $60 billion. a lightning strike knocked out some of the equipment at the nbc affiliate in denver colorado, last night. because some of those systems were down, the anchors had to improvise on air. >> we're having some technical difficult 's the here at 9 news. what happened was about 45 minutes ago, maybe a little less than that our towers here took a direct lightning strike. >> well, a loud clap of thunder and then fire alarms in the building started sunding. at certain point, anchors had to use an ipad to show video since their equipment was basically fried. let's go to the weather headline, here's reynolds wolf. hi weather. [ laughter ] hi reynolds. >> hey, a alex witt. we'll be dealing with nasty stuff. sweltering conditions millions of you will experience. look at this weird squiggly line. that represents the jet stream. it will be well to the north. you have high pressure locked in place for much of the central plains which means so many of you will be roasting with the heat.

several days of that and in places like sioux falls, omaha, kansas city, dodge city for today and tomorrow and notice as we extend our way to the early part of the week, triple digits for a lot of places including dodge city 102 monday. we're talking searing conditions. the big feature you're going to deal with is not one that you'll feel but also see. thunderstorms in fargo. you will feel the rain for several days. for today and tonight and tomorrow we see this migrate its way from the upper midwest moving into the great lakes and eventually the ohio valley too. central atlantic well mid-atlantic from norfolk into raleigh you can expect a chance of severe storms. much of that happening today. isolated tornados certainly possible. so anyone who has plans or going to the outer banks, i know the big focus has been on the shark attacks and sightings well you may be sighting those big storms rumbling through so if the thunder roars, make sure you get indoors. that's the latest alex let's send it back to you in new york. yikes, thank you.

the allegations against bill cosby received renewed attention after the release of documents from a 2005 legal deposition in which cosby admitted to obtaining quaaludes to give to women he wanted to have sex with. cosby has never been criminally charged and has denied accusations made by some 36 alleged victims of sexual assault. joining me in studio one of those accusers p.j. masten was a bunny at the playboy club in chicago in 1979 when she claims bill cosby drugged and raped her. so p.j. i want to ask you your reaction when you heard the news about what was revealed in the deposition. >> complete vindication, not just to me but all of us. we're up to 49 that have come forward and there are dozens of jane does. i'm represented by michael breslor of the breslor firm in chicago and there's dozens more. >> what is it about chicago?

>> i was the bunny mother in chicago at the same time and he came in to do an interview with maggie daly and i had known him. he worked the circuit for playboy. we all knew him. he was fun. he asked me if i would like to have dinner with him. so he called me and said "meet me at the white hall hotel." i went to the white hall hotel, i didn't think anything of it called from down stairs. he said "come on up, we'll have a drink before we go out to dinner." so i went upstairs, there were four men in the room. they were drinking and watching sports and talking and cosby asked me if i wanted a drink and i wasn't much of a drinker, i was in my 20s. i just -- he sent the bellman to get a bottle of grand marnier and he came back up and he handed it to me and i took two zips of the grand marnier and the next thing i remember it was 4:00 in the morning, i woke up in bed naked, battered and bruised and bloody and he was next to me.

and i slivered out of the bed, i collected my clothes, got dressed, went down stairs and got in a cab and went to my apartment in chicago and flipped out, took a shower and had to go to work. i had to go to work for playboy and get the girls on the floor. >> did you think about reporting it? did you report it? did you talk to people? >> i did. i told my executive at playboy and the reply was "well, you know that bill cosby is hefner's best friend, right?" i said "yes i know but he raped me." "nobody's gonna believe you. i suggest you shut your mouth." and that's what i did. >> so you were never asked whether or not you wanted to have quaaludes. because it's my understanding that at that time quaaludes were something that were i guess a part of the culture to some degree. i mean it's hard to conceive of now that that would be something that people would say, oh do you want a quaalude to enhance a sexual experience? but, you know that was done.

were you ever around a part of society that did that? >> i was never a part of that and i never did a quaalude so i really don't know. >> you were never asked whether you wanted to have one? >> no oh. oh, no no no. i've been at hefner's mansion many times. i've never seen him hand a drug out to anybody. i've never seen him smoke marijuana, i've never seen him drink alcohol, ever. >> i want to read a couple exchanges from the deposition to you. here they are. i want to know exactly what we're talking about here. in the first, the lawyer for an alleged victim asks cosby "when you got the quaaludes, was it in your mind that you were going to use these quaaludes for young women that you wanted to have sex with?" and cosby responds "yes." cosby also spoke about an encounter in the 1970s in las vegas in which he said "she meets me backstage, i gave her quaaludes, we have sex." so that's completely contrary to your experience. i mean you were -- >> i was drugged. i was drugged, along with many

many, many others. drugged. >> so did you have any reason to suspect anything would happen? you said you knew him for five years, he wanted to have dinner with you, that's fine you went up and had a drink. but had anybody ever whispered anything about behavior of his? >> never, i had never heard anything prior to that. i knew he used to hang out at hefner's mansion but i never heard any stories. >> look, we know about hiss fame. we know about a certain sense of power in the entertainment industry. with all of these accusations, p.j., why do you think it took so long for all this to come out? >> because people wouldn't listen to us. people denied us a voice and they wouldn't listen to us. >> you may have heard there is a petition for president obama to revoke the presidential medal of freedom that was give on the bill cosby by our former president george w. bush. what do you think about that step? >> take it away. take the disney statues away. take the star from the hollywood

walk of fame away. >> we should say, that has been proposed by some, the chairman of the board of commerce there in hollywood has said we've never done that we've never taken away a star no matter what the actions and we have no plan to do it now. >> alex he will be known as the most prolific serial rapist in the history of the united states. there are dozens and dozens and dozens of more women out there and we want to make sure that they know that -- call me contact us we have a safe place. we will get you help and we will take care of you. >> p.j. i appreciate what you are saying and i understand that you have a group around you with, but we should also make note, the point is he has not been ever criminally lyly charged or accused of anything in a police report or court of law. it's a tough thing that you have going right now. you're going against a system and yet you have a lot of people around you, your facebook page and the rest of it claiming similar stories. >> yes, yes.

>> well p.j. masten thank you for talking with us so candidly it's got to be tough to relive those moments. >> it is tough. but you know what? the world has to know. the world has to know that this man is a predator. >> p.j., thank you for your insights. appreciate it. how much can you buy with $100? it turns out the answer varies from state to state. we'll look at where you can get the most for your money. unbelievable! toenail fungus? seriously? smash it with jublia! jublia is a prescription medicine proven to treat toenail fungus.

welcome back to "weekends with alex witt." on tuesday, president obama will deliver a speech at the annual naacp convention in philadelphia. this convention comes at a time of both tragedy and triumph in civil rights, from the charleston church shooting came yesterday's historic moment. after flying for 54 over the south carolina statehouse, the confederate flag came down peacefully as thousands of all races gathered together to watch chanting "usa." joining me now, my colleague melissa harris perry whom we are keeping from lunch. what did it mean to you to see the confederate flag come down personally? >> i didn't expect it to mean much of anything. i grew up in the south, i have seen confederate flags either flying or displayed in lots of spaces in my life.

i don't always react to them as some folks do as inherently troubling or problematic. i've always seen the display of the confederate flag on statehouse grounds as problematic because of the nature of of the confederacy rather than even the races. they should not fly their flag on national grounds. but i was completely emotional. i could not tear my eyes away from it i was standing in an airport watching it gaping and i realized symbols do matter and that watching this one come down felt like a meaningful victory. >> and as you know south carolina is not the only statehouse to have a confederate flag. mississippi and others have it embedded in their state flag. what happens next? what do you think? >> seven states with confederate-inspired insignias is part of it. it's also worth noting alabama went and took down their confederate flag in the midst of this without any legislative action after the death of the

nine charleston members of the community. i want to keep remembering they are people and members of community who were slaughtered in their church. alabama just went and took it down. they were like okay we're done with that now and folded it up respectfully. the now it's a fight about the other ones. some of them are almost abstract. sort of these red crosss over white florida frxor example, my bet is they will be hard to take down. the next one will be mississippi where there is a kind of insignia of the remember ball flag as part of the state flag. >> do you think we're focusing on an easier thing overall? taking these down as opposed to the greater conversation which needs to be had about inequity and race relations? >> it's interesting. the naacp has you point out is meeting in philadelphia. the president will be speaking there this week. they have an agenda that for the most smart not an agenda about a flag per say. although they've been part of

the boycott of south carolina for more than two decades. what i'll say is this. it turns out symbols are part of the story. part of the reason it was troubling to have a kroefg flying on state grounds, not what individuals have in their individual homes, is that the idea that the state, the government, is all of us it's our taxpayer dollars, it's our voigt, it's our representatives and the idea that this flag represented add group of people who did not want to be part of it so when i heard the chans of "usa" that's usually like a sports moment or maybe when we've done aggressive action. but in this case the chants of usa in connection with a moment of racial justice felt meaningful. to stand and say what the u.s. is for is for racial justice and equity not injustice and inequity is part of this larger substantive movement. >> what got to me as well was that black, white, brown, everybody standing together

holding hands, hugging, crying feeling equally passionate about it all. >> nikki haley's enthusiasm as a republican governor in the south, her enthusiasm about bringing it down look i also think she's running for vice president of the republican party at this point and i think she did herself and her state proud. whatever other challenges i may have with her governing over the years, this moment and i think it deserves applause. >> absolutely. what about the president? what is going to have you applauding for him based on what he says? what do you want to hear? >> i don't know. he's been on fire lately. but, look here's what we know on the question of substance. even since that eulogy in charleston, south carolina, a lot of people have talked about this president as having a discursive freedom in his final year, year and a half as president is around issues of race and i have enjoyed them. the real question we have is how that discursive freedom turns

into meaningful public policy. we saw it with the hud housing rule this week. so we'll be looking for tasks that the president and his administration can take on even without cooperation over the next 18 months. >> my friend melissa harris perry, always great to have you. talking about south carolina governor nikki haley and maybe positioning herself for veep we'll see if that's a question of obvious. tomorrow she's chuck todd's guest on "meet the press." let's go to developing news overseas. today secretary kerry is meeting with iranian foreign minister zarif as the two sides struggle to reach an agreement. on thursday secretary kerry said the u.s. is willing to walk away if negotiations keep stalling. >> we're here because we believe we are making real progress toward a comprehensive deal.

but as i have said many times and as i discussed with president obama last night we are not going to sit at the negotiating table forever. >> so what happens if the u.s. does walk away and this deal doesn't happen? joining me now, the president of the plow shares fund global security foundation, also author of "nuclear nightmares securing the world before it's too late." he's also a member of secretary kerry's international advisory board. with a welcome back to the broadcast, joe good to see you. my question to you, what is the outcome if this falls apart? >> there are two possibilities, alex, and one that s that the talks themselves just ended and you've heard the president and the secretary give warnings on that front. i think more likely is the scenario that andrea mitchell talked to you about in your show which is there will be a break. this has happened before. you get in a loggerhead they

can't reach agreement for whatever reasons and there could be a two week, three week break. at this point they could if they don't get agreement in the next couple days they could break and agree to come back in september. >> do you think secretary kerry when he says the u.s. is willing to walk away if they can't get the right deal, is that for a two or three week break or until september or completely walk away? that doesn't seem feasible. >> it could be either one. but shore close. they actually have solved most of the difficult issues. most of the agreements that would freeze iran's program and put it under a microscope. those tough decisions have been solved and they're down to a few final decisions, difficult ones like on the arms embargo. but these are actually nothing compared to the issues they already solved so i don't think there will be a complete breakdown. >> other issues though, that are very very tricky to settle in addition to arms embargo, we're talking about inspector access to the military site ss and

answering questions on past activities. do you see these three issues being able to be worked out? >> it's my understanding that the inspection issue has been largely worked out. you've heard tough talk from the supreme leader on this a couple weeks ago but there were caveats in his statements and the negotiators have been able to wiggle an agreement through those caveats. it's my understanding there will be inspections of the military sites. they will be as needed and when needed. they'll be able to go where they have to go. but they'll be following the normal procedures late out by the international atomic energy agency. a little bit of notice a little bit of negotiations, but with the kind of sophisticated instruments that the inspectors have, it will be very very difficult for iran to hide anything at all from the inspectors. >> speaking of "difficult," the arms embargo issue is a difficult one. given the current state of the middle east and iran's long military reach, are the risks of ending the embargo worth the

potential for a nuclear deal if that could be sold back here in the u.s. which, as andrea mitchell said she does not think that could happen. >> this is an excellent example of how the perceptions of the problem are worse than the problem itself. there's a great deal article in foreign policy on the foreign policy web site today talking about the relative military capacity of iran compared to its neighbors. saudi arabia outspends iran 5-1 on military. you put all the other arab states together and it's 13-1. so iran spends about $15 billion a year. that's a lot of money, but not really a dominant force. and the iranians have a point. the arms embargo was linked in the u.n. security council resolutions to the nuclear program, so if you resolve the nuclear program, technically the arms embargo should end but here's where perceptions but trumps reality. that's impossible for the united states to agree to it would be unseemly for us to give iran access to its frozen funds and they then use that to buy

military equipment. the compromise will face out the arms embargo over time. that's the compromise i'm expecting. >> talk about what you expect from congress if and when something is ultimately agreed upon. we did miss the 30 days to review what happens in vienna as opposed to 60 days. can you explain that to me. >> 60 days to vote in the beginning of august into the town hall meeting and the coffee s s. so you're going to see ads in states ads in district, flooding of constituents motivated by special interests into these town hall meetings. it makes it more difficult for the members to approve the deal so it will be a tough hot potato for politicians until they get back in september if we get a deal on sunday or monday which many of us suspect that would

mean a vote in congress some time in mid-september. >> okay. joe, always a pleasure thanks so much. >> thank you, alex. a series of unrelated computer glitches this week have cyber security experts looking for an answer. was it coincidence or something greater? we'll have a tech expert weigh in. go roam sleep in sleep out star gaze dream big wander more care less beat sunrise chase sunset do it all. on us. get your first month's payment plus five years wear and tear coverage. make the most of summer... with volvo.

encrypted and tell them "contact me here" and they disappear. >> sean henry, former executive assistant director of the fbi, explained the difficulties federal officials now face. >> one of the successful ways of disrupting these plots has been able to identify them in advance and they've done that. the fbi and law enforcement have intercepted communications lawfully with a judicial warrant people who they believe are plotting these types of attacks. now with certain types of encryption, the fbi has lost the ability to track these people. so he's not asking for them to necessarily to weaken their capabilities. what he's saying is he wants the fbi to have the lawful ability to go in and touch this information and listen on these conversations. they already have the right to do it with a judicial warrant. they just don't have the technical capability. they're dark. >> okay. are we seeing a fundamental difference in the way isis works as opposed to al qaeda's methods?

>> i think that historically what we've seen with al qaeda is that their interest in getting on the big stage, attack on the scale of 9/11. i think what we see with isis now is to push to attack where you stand. in other words you don't necessarily have to come over to syria and train with us and come back to the united states. if you support us go out and harm americans right now. so they're telling people trying to activate them that was the concern over the fourth of july that there are so many people now who are supportive of isis and that entire cause. and they have the capability to go out and harm americans here in our cities locally. that's why the fbi acted the way they did as swiftly as they did over the last six weeks. >> shawn, how can officials slow terror group recruitment in the u.s. or can they prevent it all together? >> it's about being proactive. what the fbi has done is to try to get out in front of this. they use intelligence to see

what's coming but going dark and losing the capability to intercept those communications is causing them some serious concern. if they can go out and identify these people in advance of the attacks, they'll hope the prevent americans and keep us safe. >> former assistant director of the fbi sean henry, thanks. hillary clinton is gearing up for a big speech. what can we expect to hear about her economic agenda and how will it compare to her challengers? that's next. ♪ ♪ ♪

hillary clinton is expected to lay out her economic agenda in a major speech monday and it's likely to aim at a party shifting left. as the "new york times" put it in a headline this week. this comes as the former secretary of state face what is's become a vigorous challenge from senator beth israel deaconess -- bernie sanders who has boasted about his socialist credentials. joining me now is james holman. can you give us an idea of what we might expect to see from mrs. clinton monday? >> it will be a major policy

speech with big ticket items, big spending everything from alzheimer's disease research to universal pre-k, trying to put meat on the bones of what she means by economic fairness for everyday americans. so i think it will be a long speech with lots of different ideas, not necessarily how she will pay for it all but nod to bernie sanders and what she's tapped into. >> in 1994 bill clinton declared the era of big government over. do you think the electorate has changed that much? is the era of big government back? >> the dealtmocratic party has changed. a lot of democrats from the south are now republicans if hillary clinton will activate the democratic base if 2016 african-americans, the growing american electorate, young people hispanic she is going to need to make a nod to the left, that's where the energy is. she wants to get them excited about her campaign they want a

more muscular federal government so it's not necessarily that the country as a whole has changed. there's going to be reluctance about deficit spending inging and a lot of what will be perceived as overreach by many but the party has changed and right now hillary clinton is trying to win the democratic nomination. >> i'm curious, if you think her speech is going to tick to the left, is that self-motivated, self-generated or as a result of bernie sanders? >> it's a mix of two things. i think hillary has been more liberal than the party and now she's trying to catch up with where the party is at where bernie sanders is pulling her. this is the most liberal rhetorically she's sounded since the health care push in '93/'94, the failure of which led bill clinton to declare the era of big government was over so i think this is genuinely where she is. some of it of course, is triangulation and some of it is noting to the energy and use yachl for not even really bernie

sanders but bernie sanders's ideas. >> james, obviously sanders has gained traction in some polls but what is the conventional wisdom. former secretary clinton will still prevail by a wide margin? or are there cracks in that thinking? >> the hillary people interestingly, have been trying to hardest to lower expectations, hillary surrogates have been saying bernie could win iowa and new hampshire. they've been trying very hard to manage the expectations. hillary clinton is the overwhelming favorite to be the democratic nominee. it's very unlikely if hillary was not the nominee bernie would be the guy. it would probably be someone else who would emerge. so i think this is a summer thing. this happens, these kinds of challengers from the left always emerge this time of the cycle. the hillary people aren't sweating it too much but they realize they need the energy of the sanders folks and they're not getting it right now. >> i just want to clarify for anyone who's a stickler for details as i am. my executive producer said i

police hope this image seen almost 50 million times online can provide an identity. good day to all of you, welcome to "weekends with alex witt." 1:00 on the east coast, 10:00 a.m. on the west. gop presidential candidate donald trump expected to speak a short time from now in las vegas as he continues his campaign out west while criticizing the nation's immigration policies. yesterday in beverly hills, over 100 demonstrators gathered outside his hotel where he held a news conference talking about the issue. trump brought together people who said their relatives had been killed by undocumented immigrants. >> wherever somebody hears that it was an illegal that was involved with the death of their children it becomes politically incorrect for a politician to help them. that's how messed up our nation

is. >> msnbc's amanda sakuma is joining us from phoenix, arizona. amanda, we heard from some families at that event. what did they say? >> hello, alex. you know there was this fatal shooting in san francisco that was allegedly at the hands of an undocumented immigrant that has become a flash point in the immigration debate and donald trump has taken the issue to buoy it to national stage. now, he is gaining some traction with folks who feel that there are major problems with the broken immigration system. here's what some had to say. >> my nephew was murdered by a gang member in the country illegally. we love mr. trump, we're happy because we know he spoke up and says something. so i just hope that when you guys keep in mind enforce the law. >> we're 5,000 to 8,000 die every year in this country, americans, at the direct hands of illegals.

not just the one that's up in san francisco and not just the little handful that's here. every single day. stop reporting about the poor little illegals because their poor little issue, they brought it on themselves. >> when donald trump comes to arizona later this afternoon, he'll team up with sheriff joe arpaio, who has been a divisive character within the immigration debate. they're expecting thousands to gather here in downtown phoenix and we're also expecting more demonstrations to occur as well. many pro-immigrant rights activists are very upset to hear trump using statistics that they say are incorrect and that though he is saying that mexican immigrants are bringing in crime and are rapists, it is more likely that u.s.-born people are more likely to commit crimes. he cited statistics that are some 11 to 31 million undocumented immigrants currently living in the u.s. according to pew which is the

gold standard on such statistics, they put that number closer to 11.2 out here. so a lot of folks out here wanting to fact check trump as he's making this campaign swing. >> as he should be thank you so much. msnbc's amanda sakuma in phoenix. and msnbc will bring you donald trump's speech at 2:50 eastern time and then following that his news conference which is scheduled for 3:30 eastern. let's go to developing news overseas now. secretary kerry and iran foreign minister zarif are meeting today along with their european partners at the iran nuclear talks in vienna. yesterday negotiators missed their third deadline following a week filled with promises of progress and accusations of stall tactics. joining me again from vienna. chief foreign affairs correspondent andrea mitchell. once again, let's take a look as i say welcome to the key issues on the table today. what's top of your mind? >> i think the u.n. resolution.

how they're writing this u.n. resolution to in iran's demand lift the armies embargo on conventional weapons including ballistic missile and as far as the u.s. is concerned and britain and france and germany not to lift the embargo. but all of this has to be wrapped up in a complicated u.n. resolution that would multily lift the unnuclear sanctions and incorporate the embargo on conventional weapons and agreeing on that and how it will be worded is still an issue. we just learned that secretary kerry spoke with foreign minister lavrov who's back in moscow and presumably that's what they're talking about. until lavrov is here and whether that's tonight or tomorrow, there isn't going to be a deal so i'm fairly confident in saying based on a lot of sourcing that there is not going to be a nuclear deal today. i still think it's possible according to the people very closely involved here that it would take place, it would happen tomorrow. they have a lot of work to do. alex? >> andrea reports of movement

with regard to access to the military sites for inspections. is that a done deal has that met agreement? >> they've made progress on that they say. one of the cautions they are giving is that nothing is done until everything is done and as the negotiators here are calling it, it's a rubik's cube so that they thought that they had this arms embargo deal done. they thought it was finished in luzon but if you go back to the fact sheet, this was incorporated in the american fact sheet that they distributed in luzon back on april 2 but the iranians never signed on to that and they said they had disagreements and differents with some of the things in the fact sheet. so if you recall back in luzon, switzerland, when this interim deal, rather the framework deal for the final comprehensive agreement that was going to be

negotiated by june 30 when that was agreed to in luzon, there was no signed document there was no joint statement and that's the genesis of some of the trouble right now. that the iranians left with one impression or went back to tehran and were pulled back into a harder line which ever that is and the americans left with a different impression. they never agreed precisely and it was a framework. it left a lot open to be negotiated in the follow months and what we are discovering is that these negotiations are harder than anyone expected with different sides accusing each other. the other side accusing the u.s. iran accusing the u.s. of changing positions. the u.s. saying iran has reneged and russia playing an unhelpful role with putin getting in the middle of it alex. >> difficult and ongoing and fluid. andrea mitchell thank you so much for your coverage and insight. we also have this story developing. there are conflicting reports as

to whether the leader of an isis group in eastern afghanistan has been killed. afghan officials say he was killed in a u.s. drone strike however some u.s. defense and military officials doubt that report is true. let's go to nbc's kristen welker at the white house. kristen, i know you've been on the story trying to get sources to confirm or deny what have you learned? >> alex, in these conflict zones it can be incredibly difficult to confirm reports so right now officials trying to determine the truth from the ground, to glean exactly what happened. here's what we can say. earlier this week july 5 and 7 there were u.s. drone strikes that killed more than two dozen militants. and that a number of those militants had claimed allegiance to isis. i have been speaking to u.s. officials, one of them telling me there is a growing concern about isis in regions like afghanistan, libya and yemen,

that there are groups within those areas who are increasingly claiming allegiance to isis. isis looks very different in those areas unanimous in iraq and syria, the difference being, in iraq and syria, isis is taking over territory whereas in afghanistan isis is not taking over territory but instead following isis' lead and behaving in violent ways. so that is the difference. but administration officials say they're increasingly concerned about isis and about this threat. that's why you're seeing the drone strikes. president obama spoke about this when he spoke from the pend gone. he said they are increasingly seeing isis militants in these areas and called on the international community to address this problem. officials here in the u.s. are concerned about those who would not low isis lone wolves who would follow isis in the united

states and other western nations. i think this is going to continue to be a focus here with this administration as they continue their campaign against isis in iraq and syria. alex? >> from the white house, kristen welker. thank you for the latest. police in massachusetts are pleading with the public to help them solve the mystery of a little girl whose lifeless body was found in a trash bag two weeks ago. while her picture has been viewed more than 50 million times on social media, police are still unable to identify her or learn anything about her background i spoke with a "boston globe" reporter who's been following this story. >> they have identified where her clothes could have come from, right? talk about some of the details. >> investigators have released a lot of details about how they found the little girl. she was wearing a pair of white leggings with black polka dots and she was partially wrapped in a zebra print blanket made of

fleece. just two days ago they updated the composite picture that was assembled by the center for missing and exploited children to add the fact she had pierced ears. >> officials believe that baby doe was about four years old at the time of her death. an autopsy was performed but officials have yet to determine precisely how she died. sanctuary cities have become a hot topic after that murder in san francisco. what purpose do they serve? a critical look next. connected but i think this solo date will seal the deal. sure! i offer multi-car, safe driver, and so many other discounts that people think i'm a big deal. and boy, are they right. ladies, i can share hundreds in savings with all of you! just visit progressive.com today. but right now, it's choosing time. ooh! we have a winner. all: what?

the san francisco sheriff's department says federal authorities are to blame for the release of an undocumented immigrant accused of slay ago woman as she walked on a popular waterfront pier.steinle was

shot on july 4. juan francisco lopez sanchez, an undocumented immigrant who had been in custody on another charge and released was arrested shortly after the shooting and remains in custody. the case is raising new questions over so-called sanctuary cities and federal immigration laws. the sheriff told reporters the system needs to be re-evaluated. >> a tragedy of this dimension requires us to all step back and review the efficacy of the law itself, but i look to the legislators and the mayor to help with that. >> joining me is janelle ross who works on gender immigration and race issues for the "washington post." janelle, you wrote about sanctuary cities in the "post." what is a sanctuary city? >> well the actual definition of a sanctuary city varies from place to place. but there are many of them around the country and the general idea is that local law

enforcement officials have made an agreement or there is a policy or law in place not to pass individuals along to immigration officials should they come to their attention. be it when they go out and interview witnesses when they are responding to the scene of the crime. >> and i know you said many i want to name a few of them. new york los angeles, san francisco, houston. how many are we talking? >> well i think there are some pretty widely varying estimates. but there are at least 60 sanctuary cities here in the united states, major cities that offer some sort of sanctuary policy where the details vary just a bit again from place to place. but there are at least 60. >>. >> so what happens to an undocumented immigrant who may get arrested in a non-sanctuary city? >> in a non-sanctuary city what would typically happen is that the person has been arrested taken to the county jail or city

jail facility they're going to have to go through whatever processes are associated with the crime that they are accused of committing. they'll have to go to trial, be convicted or acquitted, they would then serve any jail time that is affiliated with a conviction and then pay any necessary fines or would be responsible for paying them. however if it is a relatively minor crime, and let's say the sentence they've received is to serve two days or three months in the county jail after that time in a non-sanctuary city at that point the local law enforcement agency would have ideally contacted ice and ice being the immigration enforcement authority here in the united states would collect this individual they would come pick them up at the end of their sentence and put them into immigration proceedings which is a different legal process. >> reading your article here janelle, you address the problem

of violent crime committed by undocumented immigrants. how prevalent, how legitimate of an issue is it? >> i think that it's important to remember that immigrants of all kinds are people so there are certainly immigrants who have committed crimes. there are certainly undocumented immigrants that have committed crimes. but when you look at the numbers i guess overall, it's very clear that there are fewer crimes that are committed by immigrants including undocumented immigrants than u.s.-born individuals in the united states and i think there's some fairly easy-to-understand logic. if you are a person in this country illegally, you would likely want to try to avoid drawing attention to yourself. that said of course, there are also some individuals who have committed crimes. >> janelle ross thank you for that. i want to bring into the conversation nbcnews.com

contributor and attorney roe reyes. who are these sanctuary cities designed to protect? >> sanctuary cities are actually designed to prevent the city dosh protect the cities and local law enforcement officials in those cities. they were the ones who passed those laws in response to state laws cracking down on illegal immigration and that sounds convoluted but here's why. traditionally the federal government is charge in charge of immigration enforcement. that's the way it's always been but when states start passing these laws, in effect they were turning local police community police into immigration agents. that meant cities had far greater expenses. that meant they incurred liability issues. these local police didn't have the training so the city said we don't want to do it this is not our job, you do your job, which is rounding up undocumented people and we will go back to fighting crime. that's how sanctuary cities came to be. >> you're an attorney.

so the way kate steinle died at the hands of lopez sanchez who's admitted shooting her, does the family have a case against the city? is that even within the realm of discussion? >> i think the -- you know as an outsider of the case i think the family may have a case against ice for failing to issue a warrant that would have kept him off the streets. you have to remember this was someone who already had several convictions. he had been deported five times. he was on the radar of department of homeland security and ice and they could have issued a warrant or detainer mandatory to the city of san francisco saying they should hold him there and they did not. to me it would seem the logical party to sue would be ice. of course san francisco regional. >> i'm curious about this because donald trump yesterday condemned the sanctuary city concept and hillary clinton supported sanctuary cities let's listen. >> sachk chair cities are a disgrace. i think it's a disgrace and most

people never even heard about it until the last week. sanctuary cities are a disgrace and if hillary clinton who just came out big in favor of sanctuary cities, if she's going to have that she's going to lose the election. >> would we be even talking a thbt if donald trump hadn't raised the issue? >> i think we would be talking about it. i think illegal immigration and what to do with our undocumented population will continue to be a focus of discussion but when events happen like this suddenly people -- it's very easy to point fingers and this brings the debate into human and emotional terms which is often where we take a wrong turn. it's interesting that donald trump is now speaking out about illegal immigration because there was a fascinating report this week in the daily beast talking about how trump tower was basically built by illegal workers and there was a big lawsuit over that. the "washington post" reported that a trump hotel under construction in washington is

also -- he is also using undocumented workers there. so it's interesting that he only wants to talk about the undocumented problem when it it's in certain terms, not his own role in that problem. >> hmm, that is interesting. okay raul reyes, thank you so much. the agony of this week's highly disruptive computer glitches. what happened and what can prevent more of them? that's next.

in today's tech trends, a slew of incidents shaking the cyber security world this week. an outage at the new york stock exchange on wednesday halted trading on the exchange for nearly four hours. but electronic trading continued uninterrupted. also wednesday a failed network component grounded united airlines flights across the country. that outage lasted an hour and a half. allegedly 60 canceled flights, more than 800 delays. and the "wall street journal" site had its own issue on

wednesday. visitors to the home page were hit with an error message. joining me is christina warren from marble.com. the businesses have said it was not an external event. >> it's looking like it was a cacophony of errors happening at the same time. and the "wall street journal" has said it does not appear to be an external threat. >> certainly it's in the best interest of the companies to deny hacking but the international hacking group tweeted and said "wonder if tomorrow is going to be bad for wall street? we can only hope." so any conventional wisdom among people who follow this group? >> this is what's interesting. the state of information security is such that when the government comes out with the

sony hack and says it's north korea, conventional wisdom says no it had to be somebody internally. but now when companies are saying it piece internal problems conventional wisdom is going "we're not sure if we believe that either." it looks like it was just a bad coincidence but it does raise interesting questions with the hacking team leaks from last week and the ongoing leaks, government social security numbers that this is a problem that lots and lots of companies are facing. >> and individuals as well. this new survey conducted from mastercard found more than three quarters of all of us u.s. consumers, fear their financial information and security numbers are being stolen. what is being done to reassure consumers to better protect their personal information? >> not a lot. one some of these high-profile hacks happen, the general response tends to be okay we'll give you a year of credit monitoring services where we'll

monitor your credit activity and alert you so you can step in and take action that way. but not a lot is being done. more of these companies need to start employing hackers to look at their security systems and see what can be done to beat them up and look for holes, have code bound keys and that sort of thing. but also i think we need to get away from this idea that we have this one centralized number that can control everything. i think it would be a good idea if we looked at alternatives to social security numbers as the identifier for everything because right now it's such a hot commodity on the market and so many people's information is being leaked everyday. >> mashabl's christina warren thank you so much. ted cruz wants an apology for what? that's next. i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy for my studio. ♪ and that unlimited 2% cash back from

is not backing away from his stance on undocumented mexican immigrants as he campaigns out west with a series of events. at a news conference in beverly hills late yesterday he was flanked by families of those killed about undocumented immigrants. >> wherever somebody hears that it was an illegal that was involved with the death of their children it becomes politically incorrect for a politician to help them. that's how messed up our nation is. >> well, joining me now is lauren fox with the "national journal" and manu raju senior congressional reporter with politico. i'm going to reach out to you first, manu. characterize trump's speech and how far can he carry this strategy and how effective is it with victims' families? >> it's very effective with the republican base. the idea of railing against illegal immigration, to call say

things that nobody else in the republican presidential field is willing to say is something he's of course gambling on. it's something that seems to be working because a lot of folks have the -- in the republican party, republican primary base voters have those feelings that the party is not taking hard enough line on illegal immigration and clearly he's even going further than say, ted cruz ben carson would, even the most conservative people in the race. you cannot get to the right of him. what you saw yesterday in beverly hills was him, of course doubling down on what he's been saying and what you'll see today in arizona is the same strategy. if you're donald trump, you're saying "hey this is working, i'm ahead in the polls right now and being attacked in the media is a good thing politically." >> to that last point, lauren here's a bit more from trump. let's listen. >> i must doing something right, i'm number one in the polls. when it's all said and done i

will win win, the hispanic vote over the democrat whoever it may be probably hillary clinton. because i will create jobs for the hispanics. >> he says he's number one in the polls, lauren true? >> he's doing very well and part of that is the fact that if field is so fractured. we have more than a dozen candidates in the race and when we were talking about that many candidates, if you poll just over 10% at 12%, 14%, 15%, you start to lead the race what will be difficult is as he moves on and the race narrows it will be harder to build those numbers so much of his support is coming from the republican base is he number one? >> well he might be second in one poll he might be doing better in another. polling mythology gets tricky and difficult when we our

talking about how well he's doing. i think in his internal polls he might be doing better than maybe the more public ones. >> some poll where he's number one specifically. >> somewhere in his mind yes. >> manu, how concerned is the gop that donald trump could hurt the republican chances in 2016 or do they think this will pass? >> i think a little bit of both. certainly you're hearing folks like john mccain come out yesterday saying this is not good, this is divisive for the republican party and needing hispanics in key states like florida and colorado big swing states where the republicans have struggled in recent elections but there's a larger feeling within the republican party when you talk to leaders in both parties they think this moment will pass. while donald trump may be ahead in some polls we saw last cycle at times other candidates were doing very well and they petered out. the expectation is the same

thing will happen with trump this is a campaign where only 20% if you get in the polls you could win a primary state given the amount of candidates in the race right now. none of the candidate have spent much money at all on the air so this race will change and republican leaders hope this moment whether pass as well. >> lauren governor chris christie released his first ad. let's take a listen to that. >> i am not looking to be the most popular guy who looks in your eyes and tries to figure out what you want to hear. say it and turn around and do something else. i mean what i say and i say what i mean and that's what america needs right now. >> do you think this tone will resonate with the rest of america? >> i think this is the tone chris christie thinks will be the most effective moving forward forward obviously since this so-called bridge gate scandal he's struggled to pick up the pieces and gain momentum and

he's hoping straight talk will start to resonate and it will start to separate him from those in the field. and i think we might see more from him depending on how he campaigns but it's too early to say and he has so much further to go than some of the other governors in this race. >> >> manu ted cruz is asking the "new york times" for an apology because the paper did not list his book as a best-seller, some suggest it would come in as number three does cruz deserve an apology? >> well he's disputing that what t times is saying which the times believes these books were purchased in bulk as campaigns do this to distribute their books as something the cruz campaign is denying so it's a matter of he said/she said. on the cruz side look, it's a a time-honored tradition for a republican candidate to beat up on the "new york times." marco rubio's been doing this for months based on the coverage that he's had and they want to play the victim card and cruz is

doing the same thing here. so obvious the republican base and conservative voters will take his side. we'll see how it plays out. >> jeb bush hosting some 300 top donors at his parents' kennebunkport. this is after the campaign announced the whopping fund-raising haul of $114 million, that's the most of all republican krand datecandidates. does this help pave the clearest path for jeb bush? >> the money game will be important as we move into the campaign cycle but at the same time it will be unclear whether or not he's going to be able to go out and get voters excited. i think the republican party doesn't want to have another candidate that's just sort of chosen as the establishment candidate without having base support so i think that will be his next battle. we always knew he was going to be a prolific fund raiser. >> lauren fox, manu roj jewaju, good to talk to you both. msnbc will bring you donald trump's speech at the freedom fest today. it airs at 2:50 and will be

followed up by a news conference at 3:30 eastern. the solar pulse will not likely fly again until august. the plane is undergoing maintenance after the record-breaking five day and five night journey from japan to hawaii. some damage due to overheating has been determined irreparable and so those parts will need to be replaced. the engineering team is also looking into better ways to manage the cooling and heating process of that plane. let's go to the day's weather headlines, here's weather channel meteorologist reynolds wolf. hi to you, reynolds. >> hey alex wit, manyt, my friend. sweltering conditions again that millions of you will experience. look at this squiggly line. that represents your jet stream. it will be well to the north. high pressure will be locked in place for much of the central plains which means so many of you will be roasting. several days you'll be dealing with that in places likes sioux fall omaha, kansas city dodge city for today and tomorrow and notice as we extend our way into the early part of the week triple digits expected for a lot of places including dodge city.

a new hbo documentary goes behind the headlines about gun violence in america. "requiem for the dead" the driven entirely by excerpts from social media, news and police reports to tell the stories of some of the 8,000 victims who were fatally shot during the spring of 2014. >> chris was like i can't live without her. and none of us took that as to mean that he couldn't live without shore nobody else was going to. and he just took her. from all of us. joining me now from the emmy award winning directors of the film shari cookson and nick doob. welcome to you both. such a powerful documentary. this film was extraordinary. i want to ask you, shari, what

led you to focus on gun fatalities in the spring of 2014. >> well, there were big shootings going on in the headlines at that time. elliot roger was happening in california and -- >> that was ucsb correct? >> that was ucsb. and you sit on your couch and you watch these things on news shows and just as a person it so affects you and we were already thinking ant doing a gun film and i think what struck us was okay this is one story getting a lot of attention but what else is happening in the country that we might not hear about? it was such a journey for us to find out that meanwhile there were 8,000 other people being -- shot and killed in the spring. and trying to measure that amount of loss of human life was what sort of let us on the trail for making the film. >> and nick what was the rationale behind adding social media, news and police reports

to this? >> well we're cinema verite filmmakers. we usually go out and shoot a lot of footage and put something together out of that footage in this case the characters of our film were not alive so we were looking for a way to make them real and bring them to life and we decided that we didn't want to do talking heads and reminiscences and sort of recreations of how they were shot. we wanted to keep it sort of real so the social media was a way to really see what their lives were like right up to the moment of their zblet shari, the victims you profiled came from every racial and socioeconomic background. i mean, the actions that led to their deaths also varied. there was premeditated accidental shootings. are there stories that struck a specific chord with you? >> i was struck, i think, by --

you know i wanted to say that when you look at these headlines and we would have maybe hundreds of headlines that we first started looking at a and it was just almost numbing to try to take in all these headlines. and as we started to look into the lives of these people and look for them as they lived their lives, each one just really touched us because it was the story of a human life that was lost. and sometimes they were shot by somebody they knew somebody they trusted. husband, brother. again there were the random shootings where somebody was just at the wrong place at the wrong time it was just really heartbreaking to go through each person's life and death as we did. >> i should think. were you able, nick, to gather families of these victims to watch the documentary and, if not, have you heard from them and gotten their reaction? >> yes, yes. we've reached out to everybody who was in the film.

i would say most everybody in the film -- i'm not sure this is true but they're not anti-gun. they're not -- this is not a campaign against guns. they're very supportive of this film. they felt that you need to know the dangers of owning a gun and that risks are involved and just how to be sensible about guns. >> i want to ask you both and i'll ask you to answer first, nick, what do you want your viewers to take away from this film. >> i think what we're really trying to do is start up a conversation, get people talking about this. because we tried to keep sort of a political point of view out of the film so that it would have a broader reach. you know i -- to me it -- by the end i think you should have some sense of outrage. this is just crazy what's going on. >> i have to tell you, shari, i was drained at the end of watching this. talk about the message that you

want to relay to people who watch it. >> i want the headlines that we see everyday and the statistics that we hear about to become more real to us. and i want the sense of connection that we have to other human beings that are being shot to sort of enter the discussion that we're having about what to do about the situation of our country in a way i feel like we were representing the dead and giving them a way to come into the sort of dialogue that we're having. so i think the thing that happened to me that was transformative was understanding that these are everyday people who are living everyday lives and were suddenly in a moment shot dead by a bullet. >> they're gone. shari and nick thank you so much for joining me. great conversation powerful film. for all of you "requiem for the dead" is airing on hbo.

and the wimbledon champion of 2015, serena williams! [ cheering and applause ] >> it is official. she is a superstar. tennis star serena williams has captured her sixth wimbledon and fourth grand slam and now known as the serena slam. she is one shy of the record held by steffi graf. right now in brussels, tour euro zone officials are looking at the third bail outs. looking at spending cuts and taxes worth $13 billion. banks have been closed for two risks and limited withdraws and

at risk of leaving the eurozone. joining me elizabeth plaufrts. can creditors trust grease to follow through with the promises, what is your reaction to that? >> that is the great point. this is the third bailout they are going through now. it seems as if the reforms the parliament accepted yesterday and going through to the summit on sunday, it seems as the international monetary fund are favorable for the tax hikes and the pepgs reform and during the reform they weren't going to do that and now they are conceding so the question is in the long-term will this continue and that is a big question mark because in the past it hasn't worked out for them. but if they keep the pension reforms they are on a better path to sustain what they are doing. >> what do you think has made it take so long to talk about increasing taxes and reducing pension to try to get them back

on financial track? >> it could also be a cultural type thing. you look at greece. the average retirement age is 55, that is young when you look over here at 65, and people aren't even at that past the recession. so there is a lot involved with that and it could be cultural and southern european economies have the same time of thing. they have more people over 50 than under 50 and if your youth unemployment rate is 50% and they are paying grandparents' pensions, that is something to keep in mind because the work isn't done yet. >> why should americans care about greece's economy and how do we protect ourselves from any financial fallout? >> which is a great question. we're starting to see certain effects in the u.s. you look at the u.s. dollar. it is gaining strength against the uro.

you think that is great, more purchasing power for you and me. but the corporate bottom line and the majority that do their work overseas like intel and qualcomm, when they convert back over here they are losing money so you might see swings in the short-term depending on that. and another thing to keep in mind is the federal reserve, they are on course to raise rates. they have said this for a long time and they haven't raised rates in a decade and at historic lows since the financial crisis. and if they stay on course besides what is going on in recourse it could effect you if you want to refinance or get the zero% on credit cards so if you want to refinance, you want to do that before they raise rates this year. >> thank you very much. >> that wraps up this "weekends
