syria syria. he hit back opponents. mr. obama talked about one issue which would have complicated release. and inspection process dismissing doubts that iran would get away with cheating. here is what he had to say. >> if in fact we're counting the amount of uranium mined and some is missing on the back end, they got to explaining to do. this is not something you hide in a closet. this is not something you wheel off somewhere. >> reporter: the president has more explaining to do which is why he sent his vice president to convince democrats. then the toughest critic benjamin netanyahu, iran will never change. christine. >> jim, thank you. the exchange about americans being held in iran. the rare moment where the president lashed at the reporter. major garrett asked about the issues over the hostages held. as the president can be content celebrating the nuclear deal when four americans are still in custody by the iranians. >> can you tell the country, sir, why you are content with the fanfare around the deal to leave the conscious of this nation unaccounted for in relation for the four americans? >> i have to give you credit major, for how you craft those questions. the notion that i'm content, as i celebrate with american citizens languishing in iranian jails, major, that's nonsense. and you should know better. >> the administration scrambling to convince leaders around the world that the nuclear agreement is a good deal. secretary of state john kerry meets with the saudi arabia foreign minister. then ash carter heads to the middle east. the white house trying to soften fierce israeli opposition to the deal. unnamed administration officials telling the new york times the u.s. is offering to increase the military aid package to israel. one issue over the deal producing a thaw with moscow. president obama calling vladimir putin to thank him on the negotiations. we have more from atika shubert on this side of the story. >> reporter: not only do they have to sell this program back home but allies in the region especially. a flurry of diplomatic activity in the middle east. especially the focus on saudi arabia and israel. saudi arabia the effort started early in the year. you have to remember in may, president obama met with saudi leaders offering them more military support and aid in preparation for this specific iran deal. saying they will help them with any missile defense and anything else they needed to feel safer with this deal coming for iran's nuclear program. israel is another matter. you mentioned that new york times report. we are still trying to confirm the exact details of phone call. what aid could be offered to israel to boost its military. it already receives a generous $3 billion in u.s. military aid to purchase hardware. there is a lot of question too what else could be done to bolster its own defenses. for now, israel wants to focus on the deal at hand and what it sees as the loophole. such as the fact that iran could develop within 10 to 15 years a nuclear with limitations. that is a deep red line for israel. >> thank you, atika shubert. >>> details this morning on donald trump. we have always known he is rich. how rich in campaign disclosure forms. the republican candidate crowing who said he would never disclose his personal finances. cnn's dana bash has the latest. >> reporter: christine, just how rich is donald trump? he says he has a net worth of more than $10 billion. he says he made more than $362 million last year alone. with classic trump huberous he said it was hard to fill out the forms because if a building is worth 1.5 billion, the box checked is for 150 million or more. it is interesting that trump did not make the details of the disclosure public yet so we can verify claiming he made $214 million over the 14 seasons of "the apprentice." the other thing trump has to talk about and has been talking about it a lot is the fact he is doing well in the polls. just for one example, the washington post/abc poll showed that 57% of republican voters say that they have a favorable view of him. that is a big jump. almost double from what it was in may. those are the things you are hearing from donald trump and you will hear more. one other interesting note is that he had a meeting with one of his competitors late yesterday. ted cruz you think they would be competing for the conservative vote. ted cruz understands as much as anybody else he has been complimentary. >> thank you, dana bash. just in the last week a trump license property in puerto rico went belly up. trump quick to point out he he licenses his name. his ability to grow that wealth is the reason he is good for america. >>> hillary clinton burning through a big chunk of her campaign cash. the team filed the report with the federal election commission. they raised $47 million, but only have $29 million in cash. the rest is spent. that's a 40% burn rate. the clinton campaign has received over 250,000 donations with 94% of them $250 or less. >>> president obama is the first to visit a federal prison. he is expected to call for prison and sentencing reforms. oklahoma imprisons more women than any state in the country. >>> nine minutes past the hour. time for an early start on your money. stocks higher around the world. european stocks are up after the greek parliament approved tough economic reforms needed to secure a new bailout. greece will overhaul tax systems and pensions to bring in more revenue. a lot of anger in athens. protests turned violent overnight. throwing molotov cocktails. greece has to approve other reforms. >>> here in the u.s. stock futures are higher. yesterday stocks dipped slightly after janet yellen said the federal reserve is on track to raise interest rates this year. >>> the annual espy awards honors the best in sports. the honor on wednesday may have been a former olympian known as caitlyn jenner who won the arthur ashe courage award. stephanie elam was there. >> reporter: the espys were hard breaking ago inspiring. danielle green who came back to work with other veterans after she lost her arm in battle. she received the pat tillman award. there was award for lauren hill. the girl who wanted to play her one college basketball game. her parents were on hand to accept that award. then devon still. his daughter is battling cancer. his speech really moving the crowd as well as he toasted everyone for their support of him while he has been battling this so he can stay strong for his daughter. the one person everyone was waiting to see was caitlyn jenner who took her turn in the spotlight to focus on the struggle and challenges that so many young transgender people face not just in the united states but around the world. >> if you want to call me names, make jokes, doubt my intentions go ahead. the reality is i can take it. for the thousands of kids out there coming to terms with being true to who they are, they shouldn't have to take it. [ applause ] >> reporter: i talked to several people on the red carpet. for the most part the people i spoke to were supportive of caitlyn jenner winning the arthur ashe courage award. a few not giving an opinion either way. when caitlyn jenner was done with her speech, which at times did get emotional. she got a standing ovation from the crowd and her family was on hand to watch her give the

been granted access to the tunnel and we have been trying to get access to the home where he merged. we got the access. escorted by the military and the attorney general's here in mexico. we saw power tools plugged in to outlets and cinder blocks around us. it seemed the moment they were done building the tunnel they gave the signal to el chapo and he was off on his way. we dropped down ten feet on the initial ladder into a small space and walked another few feet and approached another ladder into the portion of the tunnel 20 feet down. when we got down there, the magnificent feat of engineering. as crude as it was, it seemed like a professional job. coke bottles on the ground. oxygen tanks and ventilation pvc pipe along the top of the tunnel to provide electricity in there. we got to see that motorcycle. that modified motorcycle which ran on tracks which we believe el chapo used to escape from one end to the other. it was cramped and hard to breathe. there was an overwhelming smell of gas inside. i could not stand tall up in there. authorities have no idea where he is. if they do they are not saying publicly. christine. >> he is seen as a robin hood by some people in his country. many people willing to hide him in exchange for the money. >>> president obama was pitching the iran nuclear deal wednesday, he surprisingly weighed in on another topic. the rape allegations surrounding bill cosby. >> if you give a woman or a man for that matter without his or her knowledge, a drug and then have sex with that person without consent, that's rape. and i think this country, any civil eyesized country should have no tolerance for rape. >> president obama says there is no way to revoke the medal of freedom cosby received in 2002. there is no mechanism for taking the medal of freedom back. >>> the death toll rising in kentucky. at least four people have been killed and five others missing this morning. the torrential rain and flooding leading kentucky's governor to declare a state of emergency. some 150 homes have been destroyed. >>> the threat of severe thunderstorms still hanging on. let's get to meteorologist pedram javaheri for the forecast. >> good morning, christine. that's right. the severe weather threat back again. at least it is a smaller area. that is the good news. you know the past couple of days, over 800 reports of

make it up to 81 degrees with mostly sunny skies. >>> pedram javaheri thanks. 20 minutes past the hour. violence on the streets of greece. violence breaks out as the country makes a desperate move to

the greek parliament accepts a bailout package. the promise is more hardship ahead. elinda labroprovou with more. this is very difficult difficult for the greek people. >> reporter: it is very difficult for the greek people. you could say that the session in parliament was an explosive one much like the atmosphere outside with protesters clashing with police. the vote did go through with 229 votes in the 300 seat parliament which may seem like a big number. the same time prime minister tsipras lost a quarter of his support. people are saying the measures are too severe. greece will not able to follow them. what we expect is government reshuffle very soon. possibly within the week and then all eyes turn to the economy and seeing what happens with how the banks will be able to reopen. >> let's talk about the finances. if this austerity goes through, if you have more cuts to pensions raising the retirement age, things people have already endured, will it work? is it enough to allow the country to be solvent? >> reporter: it seems like it will be difficult. the prime minister himself has said these are measures that are recessionary. there is light at the end of the tunnel. the imf has come in support of that. it is saying the country needs debt relief. it is actually asking for greece to start repaying some of the loans 30 years from now to give the economy enough breathing space for it grow. at the same time the euro group finance ministers are holding talks right now to try and decide what they will do about a bridge loan and how to bring liquidity back in to greece. the european central bank is expected to convene and answer this question today. slowly, we are seeing moves to stabilize the situation. >> they have to put assets into a fund to
