people that are sceptic came out on the deal supporting the deal. they are former republican officials, heads of our own c.i.a. and national security. >> some democrats opposed the deal, and one who does not is former clinton survivor sandy burger who wrote a piece saying the u.s. couldn't go so far because the international community may not go along. do you expect the senators in the house to come up with a veto-proof majority with tougher sanctions that could scuttle a deal. >> i think they could come up with a veto-proof majority and that is what we are pointing out. the sceptics have come around many are democrats, and some republicans. the republicans don't want a deal and hold outs a mith that there's a better deal to be had. these are folks that want to see iran permanently weakened or diminished or hold out for a military option which is no option at all. >> if there isn't a better deal. an argument is while the iranians may not get a bomb now, the 10 year framework allows them to get one in the future. mitch mcconnell, the senate majority

around, forgive me if i'm sceptical and putting a ten-year pause on their nukes, like handing an axe to a psychoand saying hold off till i'm gone. the fact is longing for legacy, mr. obama knows he has left the world in a mess that's on par with a teenager's bedroom. hence his need for speed. his definition of comp prom mize, figuring out the other guy's needs and meeting them on bended knee. but really i would love, love to trust obama, but he is the same guy who fibbed on day marriage, happily lied on obamacare grifted us with bergdahl blamed benghazi on a film shielded a dope like sharpton, abandoned iranian citizens ben they needed us most, chose the muslim brotherhood in egypt, all while obsessing over domestic ills as external threats grew. i don't think he wants to screw this up but maybe he can't help himself. all right, dana dana kind of gets me down, is the false choice, this idea that if we don't do this, we are going to have war. does that make sense? >> certainly not the case. you could have this or you could have more sanctions.

i've been supportive of the negotiations being very sceptical that iran will agree to it.er they agree or not, this is an important process to go through. we have to make sure this international coalition that we've maintained stays together, and if we need to impose tougher sanctions, those sanctions need to be multilateral. so it's been important to go through this exercise even if it were not to lead to an ultimate agreement. >> woodruff: senator jeff flake, member of the senate foreign relailingses -- relations committee, we thank you. >> thanks for having me on. >> woodruff: now let's turn to margaret warner and our political reporter lisa desjardins. you've both been watching this all day long. before that margaret what happened here? i asked senator flake that but he went from 48 hours ago the president was saying i'm going to vie to this to everybody saying, we're all on board. >> it became apparent to the white house that even many democrats who support the diplomatic track saw this was a conditional prerogative. they imposed sanctions. they needed to have a role.

>> i'm not a sceptic. i think it's troublesome socially erosive. if there are other options available to you, assisted suicide is just one choice. >> do you think that is the medical landscape that approaches people as they approach the end of their life? >> i think i agree with the doctor, in that we need to work on comprehensive end of life care, making sure that people have all their options at end of life encompasses what end of lie means. compassionate choices is a consumer organization offering all choices. >> when people approach you, what are the situations they find themselves in. i mean, it's an important dig, and not one that people are bound to take lightly. but they must be pushed to you by desperation. >> i work on campaigns across the country, advocating for options and care at the end of life. volunteers and supporters come from all walks of life. they are there to make sure that dying people have rights and options available to them. and that we don't see cases - i'm from montreal, l and we want to -- and we want to make sure we do

he knows he must convince sceptics of the nuclear deem at home that iran isn't bowing to western pressure. so many say it's important for him to talk tough. that's exactly what he did when he addressed this nuclear technology ceremony in tehran. >> we will not sign any agreement unless all economic sanction are lifted at once on the very first day of the implementation of the agreement. >> iran wants a deal to go ahead, but the conditions must satisfactory this man the ayatollah, iran's supreme leader. he insists the deal is non-binding and said he neither agrees nor disagrees with it. >> there are questions now about what this all means for the framework deal made here in lausanne. after months of talks iran agreed to limit its enrichment capacity and in return, world powers would lift a crippling embargo. >> make no mistake nobody has the guts to say no to a possible nuclear deem with the west, because today iran's leader said that i support the continuation of talks i just want to make sure that i am not making a mistake. >> president obama also has to convince his own sceptics, mainly

let's listen to a climate change sceptic i spoke to. >> benefits outweigh this. we see record crop yields, we see greater soil moisture, a shrinking of deserts, a decline in drought. these are benefits that you can't just ignore. >> that is james taylor, a senior fellow at the heart land institute, a nonprofit think tank. it received funding from the koch brothers, oil baron, it's this relationship that film-maker robert kenner exposes in the documentary the merchants of doubt. the film examines how corporates show doubt. tell me what you learnt as you did the film. our film is about the story of a group of talent individuals able to create doubt around tobacco for 50 years, whether it causes cancer, when they knew it caused cancer. they created doubt around asbestos, paint and numbers of other issues. today the big pay day is in climate. people are out there creating doubt and stalling action so that oil and coal companies can make profits. >> and the government doesn't regulate it. let me show the viewers what i'm talking about. >> there's a bit of a mystery, w

was there scepticism? thinking this is just another form of white gent gentrygent riff indication? >> oh naturally. the drug dealers thought the white folks were cops. >> reporter: that is a lifelong resident of sand town. >> i shot a man here. i almost took his life in this very intersection. >> reporter: he spent three and a half years in prison for that shooting, and when he got out, bennett said it was that same new song church community that helped turn his life around. >> they really helped me to realize that i am part of this community. >> reporter: new song was also the only place where he could get a job. he has been working there for 20 years now, along people like this who have helped the community warm to the idea of relocaters. >> it was after they stayed for a long time and bought homes here that folks started to become more at ease. >> reporter: some critics might say this is a white savior complex. you come into a black community and try to help the community. what do you want people to und

sceptics say insurance and liability issues have to be worked out. >> they still have many, many things that they cannot do. they can't drive in heavy rain and snow. they have trouble if i hold my hand up and try to give directions if i'm a traffic cop stop this kind of thing they can't do it. >> the days of self driving cars may be close but they're not here yet. you won't find models that are ready for rush hour here at the new york international auto show. we are seeing lots of driver-assistance features, like this volvo which has pedestrian detection cameras to alert drivers when pedestrians get too close. >> from vehicle that is warn drivers when they begin to veer out of their lane. >> we've included the radar sensors which happen to be here. >> to those that park themselves self driving technologies are making it into the mainstream. >> our approach by doing a stepped introduction to get people comfortable is what's going to allow us to the time water shed moment for a fully autonomous car. >> the auto industry is heading that direction just don't count on clever conversation wit

that's important, because as i have said before it is entirely understandable that there is some scepticismround trade from working families who live in a town that saw manufacturing collapse and jobs being outsourced. people recognize there have been circumstances in the past in which trade may have contributed to aggregate growth of the global economy or u.s. economy but hurt workers. and we have learned lessons from that and this trade promotion authority, thanks to the work of senator widens and hatch, reflects some of those lessons. now in terms of actually getting a deal done the first trade agreement that we potentially would present would be the trans-pacific partnership or tpp. i have spoken to this before but i will repeat that 95% of the world's markets are outside of our borders. the fastest growing markets, the most populous markets are going to be in asia and if we do not help to shape the rules so that our businesses and our workers can compete in those markets, then china will set up rules that advantage chinese workers, and chinese businesses. and that will set the stage ov

the question is what does the party of government sell when americans are increasingly sceptical aboutze and scope of government. >> we really don't know where we are going to be in 18, 20 months from now. >> the latest signs show the economy is growing. the increase might have been temporary and 2.2% economic growth is not the kind of growth obama wants. we'll seal if that continues. steve shays from washington today. thank you steve. good to have you back on our program. martha: there are new developments in the case of the millionaire robert durst. bill: governor scott walker pushing back after criticism from the commander-in-chief. >> this is a guy who last year called isis the jv squad. 15-minute. at the time that the bankruptcy filing was done the public lighting authority had a hard time of finding a bank. citi did not run away from the table like some other bankers did. they had the strength to help us go to the credit markets and raise the money. it's a brighter day in detroit. kids are feeling safer while they walk to school. 40% of the lights were out but they're not out for

. >> while world powers are championing the new deal, two are sceptical. saudi arabia, and israel. israel, led by benjamin netanyahu, said that the deal is disconnected from reality. >> reporter: well, the israel prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has been the fiercest critic about these negotiations between western powers and iran trying to make this agreement that they have now reached to move forward. mr. netanyahu has consistently said that any kind of deal or agreement needs to involve a male, as he put it, rollback of iran's nuclear ambition, and it's quite telling that when president obama made his statement after the agreement was announced that he spoke at length about israel and israel's concerns. mr. obama said that while he and mr. netanyahu don't see eye to eye on this issue that he reaffirmed the u.s. 'commitment to u.n. security. whatever the case, mr. netanyahu, as we have been saying has been a very fierce critic of any luke lar deal with iran, and he said that iran not only threatens israel. but the middle east x as he put it the rest of the world as well. >> pre

estimated there were just 4.4 billion barrels of oil in the business sin, and there is considerable scepticismhether predictions of 100 billion barrels are realist lick and achievable. >> you have to demonstrate that that oil in the ground can actually get to the surface, and >> reporter: meanwhile environment groups and local residents are horrified at the prospect of a frenzy of oil prospecting. >> this is going to go on 24 hours a day. >> reporter: the enthusiasm over its own data is understandable and if accurate it would represent one of the most significant discoveries of recent decades. but talk of a bonanza of black gold at this point remains speculation. >>> still ahead, the powerful gun lobby in the u.s. gets set to flex its political muscle. >>> i'm reporting on what could be the legacy of the world's worst nuclear disaster. >>> and the cricket world mourns the loss of one of the sport's most iconic voices. ♪ >> al jazeera america international news. shining a light on the untold stories. >> believe in yourself and you'll get there. >> making the connections to the bigger picture. >

washington based arms control association is among those also meeting with senators, to convince sceptics the framework deal puts ream limits on iran's nuclear program amounted boosts u.s. national security. her challenge i also daunting. >> there are those who made up their minds about this agreement long before the deal was reached. i think there are many members of congress who think we can't get a deal with iran because they can't be trusted and for them it doesn't matter how good the deal will be, the deal won't be good enough. >> for now the lobbying continues. that's because if the unwieldy iran nuclear review act becomes allow, it could give congress 60 days to weigh in and change history. the final agreement may have taken years to secure with iran and it all could be undone within weeks. al jazeera washington. >> let's get the weather with robin. there is a curious phenomenon on the pacific coast. >> yes blown on show, just look behind me at this picture. these are seven centimeters across, not quite jellyfish they look that way. it's been stormy there good news for california,

people were sceptical, but i think an objective look on the ground says they now have boca raton -- boko haram on the run. they are terrorists so they can pop up at any time but it seems to me their back has been broken, so president buhari will have to mop up, and make sure they don't crop up again and they don't spill over into neighboring countries. >> brown: you see signs they are on the run, but the fight isom over, is that what you're saying? >> that is what i'm saying. i think it would be dangerous to assume they're beaten and take your eyes off the ball. >> brown: what about the stakes for the united states? what impact does this have on our relations with nigeria and for that matter with the larger reason because of its important role there? >> i think it's actually a new and fresh and welcome beginning. i know people, the u.s. officially stayed neutral, but in my own picking up in the streets of washington, i felt that people were tired of jonathan and they would like a fresh face. now we have somewhat of a fresh face, and the u.s., because of boko haram nigeria is the richest

comcast unleashed a massive lobbying effort and media blitz to sell sceptics, arguing it will lead to faster internet service, and give more access to wi-fi hot spots. comcast argues the combined firm would not be anti competitive because it doesn't have a presence in time warner cable markets and therefore would not eliminate a competitor. opponents say this is not a straightforward cable merger, given the leverage a combined company would have over t.v. channel owners and netflix. the d.o.j. is just one hurdle this deal has to clear. the f.c.c. has to sign off on it. >> they have to convince much more than just the skeptics. what might comcast do to try to rescue this deal? >> offer concessions, for example to shed comers or divest from key markets, for example such as new york or l.a. we don't know what concessions will be on the table. >> they might make it so they appear smaller to the justice department. what makes this different from any ordeal? >> it is the changing landscape. a lot of people are cutting the cord from cable and really the way people access content more and mor

the culure of massachusetts may be very sceptical for the use of the death penalty and for religious and other reasons, and many are against it and you can look at the polling. and the law is this is a federal prosecution of terrorism and a federal law allows for the death penalty and every juror on this trial has already been pre-screened during the early questioning, the voir dire process over whether they are willing to properly apply it. and if they are not and one of the many massachusetts residents or pollsters or otherwise against it categorically, they would be screened out of the jury. and that is what the law, in this case federal law, does to govern the cultural questions they have -- we are seeing more folks just walking out and seeing them walk out and walking by the local security. but to your question thomas about the death penalty here anyone who has categorically against it regardless of the facts of the case would have under the law been prescreened out. so these jurors have the pablt of -- the possibility of applying it as early as next week according to the judge.
