7:09 am
to broker this will diplomatic breakthrough. it puts new employmelimits, but lasts for six months. it was a rock star welcome home for iran's negotiating team sunday night. for this crowd, the nuclear talks were a victory. but the sentiment mopping law make among lawmakers in the united states was wary. >> they are see spiking the ball in the end zone. >> reporter: in an interview immediately after the deal,spik in the end zone. >> reporter: in an interview immediately after the deal, second of state kerry defended the agreement. >> we will not be able to have greater inspection, greater knowledge, greater restraint. that will expand the amount of time it would take for them to break out and create a nuclear weapon. >> reporter: as part of the interim deal, iran agreed to destroy its stockpile of weapons grade uranium, restrict its production of nuclear fuel and
7:10 am
give inspec to spetorespectors . in exchaexchange, iran will get billion in financial relief. sanctions on autos, gold and chemicals will also, lifted. benjamin netanyahu was quick to criticize saying this relief would allow iran to get closer to making a bomb. >> we cannot and will not allow a regime that calls for the destruction of islam to obtain the means to achieve in goal. >> reporter: sunday president obama tried to ally the prime minister's concerns and said the two would result closely to make sure iran com 34r50is. secretary kerry emphasized iran has just six months to back up its words with actions. are you skeptical that iran will actually comply with the deal they just signed? program, that there have been secret facilities. that's why we don't take anything at face value. >> reporter: this deal is a confidence building measure. it buys time to broker a more
7:11 am
complete agreement that addresses things like destroying all of iran's nuclear fuel and giving access to all of either facilities. basically the hard part is just beginning. >> margaret, thank you. eric cantor is the man responsible for bringing any additional sanctions to a vote in the house. he calls this deal a mistake. congressman cantor is in rich mopp mond, virginia. congressman, good morning. >> good morning. >> you heard the secretary of state say this is good because it expands the time that iran will have capacity to make a nuclear weapon, there is more inspection and some restriction 20% will have to be changed. why isn't that a good deal to freeze things and delay? >> charlie, i think this deal, this interim deal with iran, is in fact dangerous. it is a deal which brings iran closer to becoming a nuclear
7:12 am
power. this deal that has been negotiated by the secretary of state frankly falls well short of the u.n. security council resolution which called for no sanctions relief until iran suspended its enrichment of uranium. and we see in this deal language despite protests to the contraicontrar contrary, language which says that iran will have some type of right to enrich. as of yet in the language of the deal still to be dwefined. this is all contrary to the not which is to insist that we shouldn't pursue a policy of containment, that we should in fact insist that a country which has deceived the world, a country which has defied u.n. security council resolutions
7:13 am
complaint be tru can't be trusted. we went them to irreversibly dismantle their stockpiles and not continue enrichment. this deal falls short on all fronts. >> congressman, for the first time in a decade, we have halted iran's nuclear program. there is a freeze. also for the first time, there will be daily inspections, unprecedented inspections of the facilities. can you say that is positive, that development? >> first of all, since wheno we trust iran. iran has demonstrated again and again it believe that the attitude should be mistrust and verify. and what this agreement does is it just allows iran to continue with all that it has in terms of centrifuges. it doesn't require any dismantling. it allows for the enrichment up
7:14 am
to 5% which used to be something that we wouldn't stand for. iran could once again turn around tomorrow and throw away this. and the problem is that -- >> sir, is part of the deal -- but as part of the deal -- it's not the final deal as you're talking about and i know there is a great deal of mistrust out there. but i wonder why there is not some acknowledgement that an interim step could lead to a bigger deal. why is that not somewhat positive? >> there are two things that are wrong here. one is we have now let the door open to sanctions going o sanc taken years and years of progress for them to build and to be able to apply the kind of pressure that it did. and what we see also is there is no requirement that we comply with the u.n. security council
7:15 am
resolution which the international community have united behind which says we need to keep the pressure on iran up it suspends its nuclear activity and it suspends its enrichment activity and we know in this agreement there is no requirement for iran to dismantle its plutonium reactor, no requirement for to dismantle its enrichment facilities. so we have a real cost to us as we are now opening the door to the weakening of international sapgss th s th sanctions that have been in place. >> so your alternative is keep the sanctions on and if iran is close to a nuclear capacity, then launch aattack? >> charlie, i don't buy into this what i believe is a false choice between war or policy of appeasement. i just don't. i think that we could have our influence diplomatically, economically, could continue to build the pressure so we can
7:16 am
protect our interests and our allies' interests. all we have to do is listen to our allies who are most proximate to the threat, israel, arab allies, who have been saying all along that any kind of deal with this regime in iran is not worth the paper it's written on, that it's very, very dangerous for us to allow iran to now have the ability to claim it has a right to enrich which is contrary to all the u.n. security council activities of late and which we know -- congress has said is unacceptab unacceptable. >> eraieric cantor, thank you f joining us. officials in connecticut will release a report today on the sandy hook school shooting. it may answer questions about the attack. elaine quijano is in newtown, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, it was on december 14th last year that adam lanza killed
7:17 am
20 children and six women at sandy hook elementary school. today's long a wait report will summarize what the lead investigator in the case has learned so far. the summary is expected to contain a clear time line from that morning with a focus on the police response. >> caller is indicating that she thinks someone is shooting in the building. >> reporter: but officials including connecticut senator richard blumenthal say they don't expect to be a full account of that day and it's unlikely to provide future recommendations. >> i think that we can always learn from every incident and i think there will be an effort in the report to draw some lessons re n if there are no specific it better. >> reporter: specifics about the shooting including 911 calls and personal testimonies are expected to be part of a much longer police report, thousands of pages long. some state officials have fought against releasing those details out of concern for the victims' families. earlier this year, the
7:18 am
connecticut legislature passed a l proceed hib bitting the release of certain videos and documents. there will always be one great unknown. >> i would love to know why. but i think that's a question that is never going to be answered. and i don't expect that to be in the police report. we'll never know what went on in that shooter's mind. >> reporter: now, also today, a hearing is scheduled on whether those 911 tapes should be released to the public. charlie, norah. >> thank you. the family of an 85-year-old california man held in north korea is making a new appeal relatives sat down with john blackstone. >> said he was having a wonderful time. >> everything was going so well. >> reporter: as merrill newman's wife lee and son jeff look through postcards he sent from north korea, his detention seems more puzzling.
7:19 am
by the time the cards arrived, he was missing. as a veteran of the korean war, newman had long wapnted to see the country again, something veterans have done without incident. >> there is no history of 85-year-old grandfather getting pulled off a plane and not being permitted to come home. it's just completely unprecedented. >> reporter: over the past important, the family has had regular discussions with the state department, but there is still no indication why newman is being held. have you thought about going over there? >> mom's ready to fly to beijing and paddle a boat across. >> i said i would sit in the re away and do something. but the important thing we think is to do the right thing and we're not exactly sure what that is. >> reporter: lee and merrill met at stanford university soon after he returned from the war. she knew he loved the water. sfw >> he waptsed to give me as a
