have to say so thank you very much for your thoughts on that for the moment donna johnson live in front thank you robert honey he's a journalist and political analyst based in strasburg he says from his position on the deal as dictated by the interests of the players. but they seemed to take an extreme position all the time and there are a number of reasons for this the first is that they are play good cop bad cop with the americans obama is suddenly being much more reasonable in his attitude with the iranians the french are out there on the flank saying oh you must agree too easily israel must be protected and so on and in a sense that if you like. playing the game of the american so that they could charge reasonable the french all at reasonable there is another factor which is that everybody knows the enormous pressure of the israel lobby in america it's not quite so well though it's pretty pretty considerable in france as well. you know spoke to about us lanny from iran's foreign news agency he said france is sabotaging a deal with iran to score points in the region the that we get from the diplomats

let me ask you this, nick, ly lindon johnson never accepted and robert f. kennedy jr.tty piece of craftsmanship. do you think that was the final answer? when it came out it was one of the best selling documents or books in america. >> look, the warren report, the dallas police department did the investigation, not the fbi. the investigation itself had errors, sloppy. the war report was quick, hastily done and not a wonderful document. just because it wasn't airtight doesn't mean there was de facto conspiracy. how on earth would a conspiracy like that have been kept a secret? there is no credible evidence and poured over. peter jennings did a great documentary and other studies. there is no credible evidence anyone is asking other than os well. he was an expert rifle man with the marines. he scored a 212, he can hit at 200 yards an 8 inch figure. >> josiah before we go, will we know and why would the government have an interest in covering this up? >> i don't think the government has any interest now in covering it up. there are many institutions and people who immediat

a master of the senate, biographer robert carroll's 1,242-page foundational work on johnson's years in senate, carroll describes him as ruthless, shrewd, and a gifted political operator who uses his considerable gift to get things done, including the moment he characterizes as the culmination of johnson's mastery of the art of political persuasion, his push for the passage of the civil rights act of 1957. you see, that law would establish a prohibition against interfering with an individual's right to vote in a federal election and to protect the vote for blacks in the jim crow south. as majority leader shepherding the bill through the senate, johnson was trying to achieve the impossible because before that time southern democrats had blocked every attempt at civil rights legislation since reconstruction. the liberal democrats were refusing to budge on an amendment that would weaken the law, but johnson stopped at nothing to bring both sides to the table. he used flattery, threats, double dealing southern charm, manipulation, deception, and sheer force of his will to sway the senate. a

assassination of john f kennedy, and some of you have probably heard or have read robert's most recent work on johnsond one of the things he talks about i find very interesting is the transition of power from, of course, kennedy to johnson and the fact that was such a seamless transition, because you have this horrible event and suddenly -- and the government doesn't crumble. and of course, when that's going on, i, who lived in the 19th century, think about the lincoln assassination and the transition at that particular time to another johnson -- andrew johnson from tennessee, who is put on lincoln's ticket in 1864 election. i don't think anyone would have thought or maybe they did -- lincoln was always thinking morbid thoughts understandably, but andrew johnson would be president. there was a great deal of talk he was drunk at the inauguration. so there was a transition, which was right after -- days after, it's hard to imagine days after the war. there were some people in the south and west who were fighting. they didn't want to stop fighting. andrew johnson is the new president. .. >> reemerge in a

and the robert kennedy assassination. and how did johnson's whole -- this all together knowing they would be leaving? >> it was a terrible time. 1968 was a year that, you know, here we are in the week of the 50th anniversary of the 1963 assassination. that was the beginning of america's loss of innocence in a way. we had no notion that what was going to happen after that happened. just trialing to keep the country together and trying to keep it in some sense of not falling into despair something that all of the political leaders had to do. and the president tried. but it was very hard for him. because he was seen as the symbol of the problem by so many of the people. >> lyndon johnson lived only four more years after he left office. lady bird living 38 more years, one of the more active ones. how they worked there and prepared the library for the recording of the johnson administration's history. >> we're in the private office of mrs. lyndon johnson at the lbj library, i was her social secretary from 1976 to 990. a typical day began with her c

johnson administration. we were talking earlier about sort of robert cairo, the historian, the writer popularized the idea thatns to do administratively, as someone there for the transition, can you talk about that transition in history? >> i think i would like to make a couple of key points with regard to vietnam and the transition. there were 16,500 advisers in vietnam. no ground troops actually fighting. i think all of 54 people had died at the time of john kennedy's death. and he was not going to put, you know, fighting units in there. and i believe that robert kennedy was adamant about that, and also with regard to the white house staff, walt rostow was a hawk and he told marie ritter he was getting much better reception of his views from lyndon johnson than he ever did from john kennedy. and i really, really think that with roger hillsman telling me he was calling him in the evening saying we got to get out of there, we got close to those that knew him well. and lyndon johnson is said to have told generals i'm not going to be the first president to lose a war. you can depend on me to escalate and win thi

but robert kennedy gave him the oath and he relaid that to lyndon johnson. but it was an event that you would never forget. i was with adelaide stevens and others that night and everybody so stunned beyond belief. and suddenly lyndon johnson is on the phone and inviting you over to the white house and reading the transition. >> can i ask this question, i think, will betray my age a little bit, but i'm going to ask it anyway. if you poll people today, there's still tremendous confusion. the majority think that we don't know the full story, that it wasn't the lone gunman theory of oswald. what was the tenor at the time about how secure -- how sure people were about the chain of events. that it was lee harvey oswald, lone gunman who had shot the president of the united states, that he had been called by jack ruby four days later on national television. was the sense at the time that we know just what happened? >> oh, no, certainly not, anything but that. the tenor was there's so much that we do not know. and ruby killing oswald just made it worse than it alread

robert, thank you. >>> federal investigators will take their own look at the mysterious death of kendrick johnson. his body was found rolled up in a gym mat. a portion of surveillance video was found and released but it did not show the moment of death. it is being called an accident but johnson's parents say it's murder. they allege a cover up by local officials. >> it is not just for super h o heros any more. the military wants to produce a real iron man suit within the next 12 months. they began soliciting ideas including this one from darfa. no price tag has been sent but the pentagon wants a working prototype within the year. it would be impervious to bullets and have live video feed from over head drones. >> get building that one. >>> 19 after the top of the hour. a man arrested not for stealing instead he's accused of doing something many of us have done ourselves a the one point. >> this is a lot better than candy. one little boy gets a halloween treat he will never forget. but first here's another look at the halloween pictures you have been sending us this morning. great costumes. >> is
