videos like these. dzhokhar in the white hat walking away from the bomb he planted just moments before it detonates and this video showing a chinese businessman running for his life after he says he was car jacked by dzhokhar and his younger brother tamerlan begging to call 911. jurors seen a pressure bomb up close but also hearing a fingerprint analyst saying he found no are finger prnts from dzhokhar only tamerlan's. judy clark fought to keep clients the uni bomber and susan smith off death row. the defense resting after six hours of testimony. dzhokhar did not testify. his lawyers admitting he played a part but tried to show tamerlan was the leading man.

states congress. >> martha raddatz joins us from washington. this is a complicated balancing act trying to close the deal with iran and buy time with congress. >> it sure is george. so many details to be worked out. this has a long way to go. congress is concerned about lifting sanctions right away if a final deal is signed. the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee planning a vote that will delay lifting sanctions and allow congress to review an agreement. president obama says congressional involvement is okay but doesn't want any legislation that would kill the deal before it is signed and in iran the supreme leader gets the final say and right now there is a big domestic push by iran's president to make that happen. >> meanwhile, you spoke yesterday on this week with the israeli prime minister store, he's not backing off one bit. >> he isn't. prime minister netanyahu insists this is a bad deal. that it paves the way for iran

to get a bomb. he was not saying war is the war, although that is the unspoken threat whether israel could do that alone or not. he says that the americans and others should be pushing for a better deal that closes down iran's nuclear program all together. it's going to be an interesting couple of months. >> thanks. >> now to that rolling stone magazine report about an attack of a female student. the charlottesville police finding no evidence to support that claim. now an independent investigation is revealing its findings. abc has all the details for us. >> good morning, rolling stone retracting it's rape story after its devastating review by the columbia university graduate school of journalism. both of them published in the pages of rolling stone. columbia concluded that rolling stone failed to engage in basic

even routine journalistic practice before publishing its story about a gang rape that a student claims she was subjected to at a uva frat party overnight rolling stone retracted the story but did not fire the reporter or editors. the piece was a bombshell with more views online than any piece rolling star has published. the local police found no evidence to back up the student's claims. >> no witnesses, no victims. >> now columbia is giving the magazine a lesson in journalism 101. simple things that could have prevented the fiasco. including the reporter and editors failed to check the most basic details of the story, failed to give the accused a fair opportunity to respond and allowed their trust in one source to override the basic journalism. >> all of the checks and balances on the story failed in this case. >> the scandal has tan niched the reputation of the magazine

and more recently brought down the army general commanding u.s. troops in afghanistan. publisher says the problems with the piece start at the source accusing her of manipulating the magazine's journalism process and appeared to lay the blame on our door step. the uva issued a statement noting irresponsible journalism unjustly damaged the reputations of innocent individuals and the university of virginia. no word from the fraternity identify cap pa cy. the reporter herself calling the review of her work a brutal and humbling experience and offering her aapologies to rolling stone readers. to uva and to the victims of sexual assault. from top to bottom a case of journalistic malpractice and not surprising if this opens the door so some lawsuits, george. >> you're right. you read the report and hard to imagine how it got in the magazine in the first place. much needed rain hitting
