the first interview he had granted to a western journalist. ann, there were seeds and signs of this in your conversation with him and what are you hearing about what transpired today tonight? >> in fact, what we're hearing is that this is the sign of respect that president rouhani has been talking to us about when we were in iran talking, a sign of respect that he has been wanting for iran, that iran's been wanting. this is the biggest sign of respect that this country has gotten in 34 years from the united states. and president rouhani has said without respect, there is no relationship and there is no nuclr deal. it is essentially a formal recognition by the united states of a president -- of a country that the u.s. has no diplomatic relationship with. and it is much more important to the iranians than a handshake, because this conversation, we understand, lasted ten minutes, maybe even a few minutes more. it did talk about the nuclear topic. and so for the people at home in iran, it is a strong sign that now there is an actual

discussion, that there's a movement into something they've been wanting. >> andrea, we're talking about a dangerous neighborhood of the world. it's tempting for peace loving people to get excited about all this but can we trust the guy? >> there was a lot of conversation about the mutual distrust. they acknowledge it in their conversation, we're told. we were briefed by the white house on this today. they did, as chuck said, brief the israelis, they also had a talk with the saudis and others in the gulf who are enemies of iran and suspicious of iran. but the real payoff here could be if they can prove verifiably and transparentally that they are not developing a bomb. just a year ago when netanyahu was here he was talking about a six-month window before military action would be taken. now there is really the prospect if they can prove that we can trust them and it will be u.n. inspectors who have to prove that. the other piece is that could be a breakthrough on syria because they are holding up the prospect

that iran could join peace talks. iran has 10,000 hezbollah fighters on the ground supporting the assad regime and weaponizing them. that could be a breakthrough to end that civil war. >> thank you both. the other issue the president addressed this afternoon in the briefing room appearance is this looming government showdown. we also heard from one of his most outspoken opponents today, texas senator ted cruz. now, three days until the deadline, both sides continue to blame the other, digging in their heels in the fight over funding the health care law. >> so over the next three days house republicans will have to decide whether to yoin the senate and keep the government open or shut it down. i realize that a lot of what's taking place right now is political grandstanding, but this grandstanding has real effects on real people. >> the house of representatives last week showed remarkable

courage standing up and fighting to defund obamacare. the house of representatives listened to the american people. and i am hopeful, i am confident that the house will continue to stand its ground. >> so a lot like we said here last night and the night before, here we go again. can anything save our government from itself? at this point let's bring in david gregory, moderator of "meet the press" in our d.c. news room. that's the question for u david. >> i've been talking to republican, brian, on capitol hill, people close to speaker boehner who are asking the same question. what's likely now is that the house will kick it back over to the senate till we get closer and closer to a shutdown. you have a relatively small group of legislators. tea party conservatives in the house who don't want to give up on this obamacare defunding fight. ted cruz, he's just mentioned, has been personally calling members of the house, getting them energized about this saying let's stand our ground and keep this going. you have a lot of republicans

who are worried about the political fallout falling all on them. and yes, this is even before we get to the debt limit fight which the president addressed today as well. >> our government at work, here we go. david gregory, thanks. we should tell you as all of this plays out through the weekend, senator ted cruz will join david exclusively on "meet the press" sunday morning on this very nbc station. now to some of the very, very tense and dramatic moments in the sky over idaho last night when the captain of a 737 with 161 passengers on board suffered a fatal heart attack midflight. as flight attendants and passengers tried to save the captain, the co-pilot took over the flying, declared an emergency in flight and landed at the nearest airport available in boise. nbc's tom costello has our report. >> reporter: it was just after 7:30 last night when the first officer radioed boise airport. >> air united, emergency. >> reporter: united was flying from houston to seattle when the

63-year-old captain apparently suffered a heart attack at the controls. >> we got man down, chest compressions going on right now. i'm not sure too much right now status, but an ambulance and maybe some air stairs meet us off the runway. >> we'll get that going. >> reporter: they jumped into the cockpit. >> they kept the cpr going the whole time we were in the air. >> reporter: despite the efforts the captain died at a boise hospital. inflight medical emergencies are actually very common. nearly 50 each day in the u.s., but most involve passengers and aren't so serious. according to a recent study, 37% are related to fainting, followed by respiratory and air sickness. just over 7% of all emergencies cause the plane to divert. 27 times a day flight crews call the university of pittsburgh, one of two med centers that

assess a patient's condition from the ground. >> patients in whom we have a high suspicion that they're having either a heart attack or a stroke would be diverted to the closest airport and then subsequently to the closest hospital. >> reporter: pilots undergo physical checkups once a year under 40, twice over 40. they check their eyesight, equilibrium, mental state and cardiac health. >> one of the reasons there are two pilots in the airplane is in case one is incapacitated. >> reporter: back on flight 1603. >> a good thing we had a good co-pilot. >> reporter: the passengers landed safely in seattle just after midnight. tom costello, nbc news, washington. overseas now to this story we've been covering all week, the massacre at the mall in kenya. the complex heavily damaged of course during that assault to retake it is now getting a very close examination by investigators, that includes dozens of fbi agents.

kenyan officials tell nbc news the attackers had rented a store in the mall perhaps upwards of a year ago giving them a staging area and a place to store weapons in preparation for the attack. now to the big headline from climate scientists tonight. the u.n. international panel on climate change says we are hurtling toward the day when climate change could be irreversible with catastrophic consequences, they say. this group is now 95% sure that humans are responsible, and it's only going to get worse if we don't take drastic measures. our report tonight from our chief environmental affairs correspondent anne thompson. >> reporter: we're warming our world by burning coal, oil and fossil fuels. today the world's leading climate scientists warn it will get worse, with fewer very cold days and more hot ones. heat waves will be more grent and last longer. rising sea levels already altering this nation's coast and

making storms like sandy more destructive could go up nearly three feet by the end of the century swamping parts of new jersey and dramatically changing florida's coast. d glaciers, a key source of drinking water for parts of the world are losing ice everywhere but new zealand. >> we've seen an increasing number of regions over the decades starting to lose ice, but this is the first time we've seen it almost globally. >> reporter: most ominously, the report says we are in real danger of exceeding our carbon limit of 1 trillion tons. scientists say that would warm the earth more than 3 1/2 degrees fahrenheit making the impact much more dangerous. how much longer can we go? >> the rate of emission has been accelerating. at this rate we've got 30 or 40 years before we have to completely stop and go to zero. >> reporter: there are ways to slow the damage. increasing energy efficiency, usy renewable such as solar and wind and setting limits on carbon pollution can all lower

emissions. but if we persist, scientists say the real challenge will be taking the global warming gases out of the atmosphere and no one has come up with a workable solution for that yet. anne thompson, nbc news, new york. still ahead for us tonight the nurses on the front line of delivering health care. trusted voices in their own communities trying to cut through all the confusion, plus dr. nancy snyderman answers big questions for those who rely on medicare. and later the emotional salute for one of the greatest of all time.

great man play, the all-time leader in saves, a physical specimen at age 43. a religious man, a family man, the son of a panamanian fisherman. it was time to hand the ball to mariano rivera one last time. and when he had retired two batters, when it was time to go, it was two of his original teammates who did the deed, andy pettitte and derek jeter. just the sight of those two men got to the man on the mound as it got to everyone watching. and then mariano rivera dissolved in tears. it seemed to go on forever. rivera then headed off, went into the dugout and came back out for the longest sustained applause in modern stadium history.
