we've been listening to president hasan rouhani who has been talking about his meeting with turkey's prime minister. also a strategic cooperation, apparently they have been up since the early hours of the morning. we'll have more analysis on this press conference later in the program. now the vice president of argentina has appeared in counter on monday. he is accused of using his position to buy a company tha. he has repeatedly denied any link to the printing company. we're joined by daniel in benous airries. i think it's it's important to see how they're viewing this particular case. he has been accused of serious violations and is now running the country. he is now talking to the judge, who will decide in the next few days if there is enough evidence for a full-blown court case to go ahead or if it should be thrown out and he is left carrying on being the vice president. >> what is at stake here, daniel, if he was to go ahead, the judge decides on that, what is at stake for him personally? personally? >> i think what is at stake is his career. he was the possible susser to the pre

president hasan rouhani is willing to help if the u.s. does not intervene. >> we said that our countries must combat terrorism. in iraq we have not seen the americans make a decision. if we see the u.s. engage in operation against terrorist groups then one can think about cooperation, but we are not seeing anything. >> the u.s. has not requested any assistance from iran but there is late word that the an aircraft carrier is headed to iraq. the president made it clear that the u.s. is not going to solve the conflict for the iraqi government. joining us live from washington is randall pinkston. randall, good afternoon to you, and thank you so much for being here with us. first up, what military option after president obama said there would be no boots on the ground? >> certainly the announcement that the group led by the carrier. there could be launched aircraft bombing runs from the uss george w. bush, or guided missile crews, and they have tomahawk missiles. >> was this really a surprise to the u.s.? >> well, it's been a surprise to many

both countries attached importance to hasan rouhani's visit to the country. putting aside their political differences on syria and focuses on what is bringing them together. >> the iranian mountain came here with many ministers and a powerful business delegation. i believe the agreement opens a new era in economic relations. >> there was no mention of a new era in political ties. does not signal that both countries are any closer on syria. there are deep divisions over that conflict with both countries supporting rival sites. iran is is a strategic ally of the syrian government. it was clear, iran hasn't changed its policy on syria. welcomed the reelection of bashar al-assad, an election the western allies called illegitimate. but these meetings were never really about syria. iran is eager to keep turkey as a commercial partner. after all it is still under sanctions in the absence of a deal with international powers over its nuclear program. but those sanctions have not stopped ankara from purchasing much needed iranian oil and natural gas. that's why turkey

president hasan rouhani is promising to help. >> it is said that our countries must unite to combat terrorism. no one else has entered that scene. we have not seen the americans make a decision. if we see the u.s. engage in terrorist groups then one can think of cooperations. but we're not seeing that the u.s. is doing anything. >> rouhani said that iraq has not asked for assistance. joining us live from washington, d.c. is randall pinkston. randall, good morning to you. let's jump right into it. this offer from iran to work with the united states to stop this fighting, what exactly does that offer mean for the white house? >> reporter: well, the u.s. department of state was asked about that yesterday in the briefing, and they sidestepped the question, dismissing the idea of working directly with iran. after all, we have to keep in mind that the u.s. and iran still have serious differences about iran's nuclear program. that said, however, president obama before leaving washington yesterday on the south lawn did tell reporters that all of iraq's neighbors, including iran, should do what they c

in response, iran's president hasan rouhani, has pledged hes support to iraq -- his support to iraq's prime minister. they will have to act fast. after sweeping rapidly through northern iraq and leading little resistance, the i.s.i.l. fighters gain ground, making ground in diala province. in an unauthenticated recording, raising the pressure on the shiite government to be prepared to fight back. >> i call on iraqis who are capable of carrying arms, in defense of their people, their country and their holy shrines should volunteer to achieve this sacred goal. >> a quick response. >> we have volunteered to defeat the criminal i.s.i.l. fighters. we'll go to mosul and god willing we will fight them. >> the promise of attack and response also raises the risk of iraqi civilians. hundreds already fleeing the now rebel held cities and fleeing to the relative security of the northern kurdish region acknowledge fearing the sunni i.s.i.l. forces against others. >> the situation is terrible. our normal life has been destroyed. the exist are tension. we are all turkmen. that's why we left our homes

iranian president hasan rouhani pledged his support, revolutionary guards are ready to join the fight. china, the leading investor in iraqi oil, says it's watching the situation closely and offering the iraqi government whatever they can give. >> we support the iraqi government. china has long been providing a large quantity of aid to iraq in many forms. we are willing to continue to provide assistance to iraq where we can. >> the u.n. suggests hundreds of people may have been killed in recent days. and nearly 1,000 have been wounded. on tuesday about half a million residents were displaced when rubble fighters took control of mosul, the country's second largest city. >> my god, the situation is terrible, our normal lives have been destroyed. our fate is uncertain because of the existing sectarian tension. >> in usual situations, u.s. trained iraqi forces have laid down their arms. in kirkuk, went have been laid down. >> some have fallen into the hands of this group. $250 million, one of the best funded terrorist groups in the world right now. >> beefed up with more mobile patrols but

, advised iran's powerful national security council, and worked alongside iran's new president hasan rouhanilcome to you. >> thank you. >> let's start with this idea that a collaboration of some kind between the u.s. and iran would serve mutual interests in iraq. >> certainly iran and the u.s., they have common interests and common threats in iraq. the rise of the new version of very dangerous terrorism from syria and iraq spilling over to the whole region is a threat to iran and the u.s. both. the breakout of civil law from syria from iraq and later perhaps to jordan, lebanon, and even persian countries is a matter of concern, a threat for both iran and the u.s. it is about more than a decade that the iran and the u.s. are supporting the same government and the collapse of the government, the collapse of the state, the collapse of the iraqi nation is not what iran and the u.s. are seeking. however, i believe neither iran can imagine the iraq crisis nor the u.s. and even if tehran and washington go for comprehensive cooperation, i believe they would not be able to manage the crisis because i
