the united states needs to get rid of those programs and move forward and respect the sovereignty ofuba to stop along to the united states. maybe mississippi does, but not -- amy: jose pertierra, canoe explain who carilles is? >> luis posada carilles is the osama bin laden of latin america. he is responsible for a campaign of terror against cuba dating all the way back to the late 1960's, early 1970's, up until recently. he directed a campaign of bombs that resulted in injuries and deaths. amy: i was in cuba at the coca been a hotel after the italian tourist was killed in one of those bombings. his father would not leave the area of the lobby where his son died. >> he moved to cuba. he told me, i moved to cuba because if i live anywhere else i feel that fabio died. it cuba, i feel his spirit. luis posada carilles was also responsible for downing an airliner. amy: in 1976. >> including a nine year old girl was killed. and a fencing team with medals on their chest at the pan american games. amy: in venezuela. >> your flying back to cuba singing and the bombs went off. the united states

the united states needs to be able to engage all of the major players in the region. the major player that needs to be engaged is the islamic republic of iran. we need conflict resolution in afghanistan and syria and yemen fighting the islamic state. we cannot achieve what we want to achieve in the middle east without a more productive and positive relationship with iran. >> you talk about israel. we will talk more about that in just a moment. obviously this is not sitting well with our allies. flynt levertt, thank you so much. minutes away folks, to an announcement of an iran nuclear deal agreed to in vienna. what happens next in washington? in a nutshell congress has 60 days to hold hearings and make a deal. the president cannot waive sanctions on his own authority. if congress votes to reject the deal the president will most likely veto that measure. 2/3 of each house could vote to override the veto. if that override fails, the president can seal the deal. >>> a nuclear deal with iran not cause for celebration everywhere. harsh words out of israel on the breaking n

we need to see whether the united states is prepared to deal with the iranian people based on respectarlie: do you have any doubt that the president of the united states does not respect the iranian people? guest: if you want to have an agreement and keep putting pressure and sanctions on the iranian people, that does not signify to me a respectful approach. if the president is prepared -- it requires leadership. it takes a great deal of courage for iran to accept measures we are negotiating. charlie: is there more respect -- because you have spent 18 months in the trenches with secretary kerry, you have gone back to tehran and spoken to the supreme leader. i assume you have briefed him on all the details. it is said by people who analyze these things that you especially have his ear that you would not be where you are without his approval. guest: it's not the way you portrayed it. the iranian system is based on the will of the people, and the people have chosen this government. and the leader has always throughout his tenure as a leader he has always supported the choice of the irani

we -- our country, the united states needs to do more. >> reporter: crowley and others point to britain, where last month prime minister david cameron called for a crackdown on the practice. already the u.k. offers passport inserts for girls traveling to africa explaining that fgm is illegal, and last week, the royal college of obstetricians and gynecologists issued new guidelines for doctors to report cases they see and how to better treat women subjected to it. when we're talking about someone that is so -- something that is so secretive it involves girls that may not understand what's happening to them or happened to them, how to you police that? >> it's veritive. but i do think -- it's very difficult, but i do think we need an an awareness campaign to have posters at airports and doctors and nurses and educators and law enforcement engaged in understanding that it is against the law to do this and they should be on the lookout. i don't think people want to break the law. i think if they know that something has been made illegal that they will respect the law. >> reporter: last year,

countries need major powers outside the region need to create some kind of atmosphere for the region to stabilize their relationship. and also of course china/united states maybe need to invest more to that kind of society building which is conducive to that kind of stabilizing the situation. so there are a lot of different areas china and the united states can cooperate not just on the military side but the social, financial and other areas. >> if i could add, i mean again, the root causes i think are essential in looking at the region holistically is important. and the idea of harmonization within societies is a great idea for a place like syria or iraq. but we're a long ways off from that. i think, again, whatever happens with the iran nuclear talks the aspiration of trying to help the middle east achieve some sustainable equilibrium is the right one. two areas that i think one that may be a longer term prospect and one that's a little more mundane and concrete, one is both u.s. and china discussing with the regional powers quite candidly that their support for support proxies, whether iran or our friends in the arab gulf is deeply unhelpful whether i

first and foremost, the united states needs to have all its priorities in place, it's got to have a high priority coordinated efforts among the different agencies involved and direct contact with the system. we have to understand also that negotiating with terrorists can be counterproductive. we understand that. we have a policy well understood in america about negotiating with terrorists. on the other hand we know that there will be efforts made by the family and we should be mindful of those efforts and we shouldn't interfere with legitimate efforts by families found in these circumstances. >> the widow of your constituent constituent, warren wine stein considered the be efforts inconsistent. >> the lessons learned from that circumstance is that we need one person responsible for coordination of these strategies. when we have a hostage involved we have the fbi, department of justice involved, white house involved and other agencies involved. we need to have one person that is solely focused in getting that person home. that is the lesson learned from the warren winesteen situation. >>

. >>> every two seconds, someone in the united states needs blood.most frequently, those transfusions are for elderly patients. in low-income countries, it's just the opposite. 55% of blood transfusions are given to children under the age of 5. 108 million blood donations are collected around the world, crossing borders along the way. it's a lot to keep track of. it's a network almost as impressive as the circulatory system itself. it's a familiar scene and it happens all over the world. come to the blood donor center, register, wait. donate and you're done. it's what happens next that makes the process of blood donation so incredible. this blood bank is in copenhagen, denmark. according to the world health organization, of all the countries that report blood donations, denmark has the highest rate in europe. >> i think it has to do with culture and tradition. young people are grown up and told about the meaning of giving blood. probably they have parents who are blood donors. we can see that. >> with all that blood, denmark has spent years perfectin

places to go to refuel, to get food, to be in court at times, and not in port in the united states. we need forward bases, not large landed occupations, but bases where forces can go. forward areas. staging areas. the united states will have 10-12 of these. today we have more than 300. in every part of the world. from djibouti to guam. we will go from being a country without the word bases to a country that is not about controlling territory but controlling bases. those drones, they are launched from the region in which they are being used. many are launched from pakistan. pakistan doesn't like to talk about it. the first key element of this strategy, forward bases, staging areas. the second part of this, focus on key waterways. key places that one must be able to get through. the 20th century we would call these chokepoints, areas not just in the wide ocean but are narrow through ways that are connectors, crucial if you want to get from one part of the world to the other. that will be the argument for the panama canal, for the suez canal, for the straits of gibraltar, for so many of these

the united states needs a foreign policy that will put steel in front of our enemies. berattacks slow their advances into international waters and speak out about their abysmal human rights record. and we need to have the capacity to protect our national security interests here and abroad and those of our allies. that begins by rebuilding the defense budget by going back to the levels proposed by the secretary of defense. we need to honor our men and women in uniform by giving them the resources that they need to make us safe and going forward by giving them the quality and timely health care that they deserve when they return home. but most of all, the best way we can honor them is by fighting to win. you see, this is important. our goal should be peace, but there will be times when america must fight. and if we must americans fight to win. going forward, the world must know that there is no greater friend and no worst enemy than the united states of america. >> usa, usa, usa, usa, usa, usa. >> america, america, is a great country. it's a great country. and you know wh

plus of course germany, as if the united states needing a company in this thing, some corroboration to continue another 72 hours of negotiations. the white house can -- they just look so feeble. so impotent. it is pitiful. >> the layers of the absurd here are endless. for one thing, our partners in negotiation include china. and now we have the scene where iran is supposed to be the nation under sanctions. death to america, death to israel that's what it chants and bankrolls. and we have had a seat at the negotiating table for more than 19 months now where all of these world powers have been -- are being dictated to by iran. the u.s. the aheader here has been falling all over itself. we just had, we have right now the american secretary of state that has been parked in vienna since june 26th hoping to appease iran into a deal. this is a message that countries like north korea, china, and other countries will read as it is open season do anything you want, folks, and seeking the bomb is very rewarding. >> it looks like the principal obstacle is low enough -- >> the 11th hour renegotiati

countries need to major powers outside of the region need to create some kind fof bill for the region to stabilize the relationship and china and united statesaybe need to invest more to that kind of society building which is conducive to that kind of stabilizing the situation. generally there's a lot of areas. china and united states can cooperate not just on the military side but also on the social financial other areas. >> if i could add -- again the root causes i think are essential and looking at the region holistically i think is important. and the idea of a harmonization within societies is a great ideal for a place like syria . . . one is boethd both the u.s. and china discussing quite candidly. their support, whether it is iran or our friends in the air rob gulf. it is deeply unhelpful, whether it is in yemin or syria or iraq, that is contributing to the fragmentation of the society. it is hard to explain because it is so complex. countries that have more resources, quite often from oil, are deploying those resources in proxy fights throughout the region. getting to at least a cease-fire in some of these fronts, if not all of them,

the stakes are huge because if the united states doesn't get what it needs, the president of the united states barack obama, has said iran could build a nuclear bomb within months. elise, today there was going to be a deal. then there was no deal. and now imminent is what you're hearing? >> reporter: that's right, erin. a major development happening right now. diplomats tell me world powers are putting the finishing touches on a historic nuclear agreement with iran. they say an announcement is imminent. it could be anytime certainly within the next few hours. now, of course no deal is final until it's announced. they're still meeting this hour trying to clear up last-minute wording of the text. some issues related to substance but these were described to me as crossing ts and dotting is. as you said, we started the day expecting that announcement the talks hit a last-minute snag. negotiators buckled down turned it around and finally these 18 days of marathon negotiations this final round, drama, the screaming, the rising and falling hopes all coming to an end. today the iranian foreign

united states. >> it would be a strategic windfall for the united states. u.s. policy in the middle east is in free fall. we are flailing from iraq, libya, afghanistan, syria - the whole region. we need a strategic realignment to recover our own position in the middle east. >> let's assume you are correct, that the united states standing in the middle east is a free for all, would it make sense instead of antagonising israel, saudi arabia, and those turning to russia instead of iran, and antagonising egypt, turning to russia, would it make sense to listen to them and not worry about iran. this is the problem. we don't have strategic balance in the middle east, we relied on allies not representing the majority of the populations whom they control, and turn to them, each though the allies in saudi arabia continue to arm fund and train jihadis across the region. osama bin laden, one of the first armed, trained and funded mosqued into the al qaeda, four morphing into d.a.e.s.h. >>> iran will continue to arm, train and fund hezbollah, no matter what agreement we reach with them on the nuclear deal. >> what iran does, that is important, that the united states will need to understand, if it

the united states will need to amplify use against the economy to deal with increased risk based not just on this deal but iranian foreign policy. it is not clear this is well understood by all parties or part of our strategy. the risk from iran are real and will increase. iran will get a massive infusion of capital from initial sanction relief with estimated up to $150 billion. no doubt some will go to support terrorist groups. with allowing for a nuclear program the deal will likely increase not decrease the risk of proliferation. the regime will use its control of the economy to further enrich itself and suppress internal operation. the concern over human recognizes and regime will grow. the reality of money laundering and other crimes will increase not decrease over time. the united states will need to use the same types of financial strategy and campaign to isolate rogue iranian activity which will necessarily affect the trade, commerce and economy of iran. mr. chairman, i think there are three critical principles for congress to demand related to sanctions in the jcpoa. congres

the united states needs to be a force of stability in the middle east. this is expertise that i have based upon a lifetime of work in this including sharing the national commission on homeland security for the united states for five years. but it isn't the only issue. the main issue, the aid main issue is getting people back to work. getting more jobs young people have better careers. >> how do you get more jobs in the u.s. from the companies saying it is too expensive to have a business here? >> which is exactly right. the specific plan that i have had out for five years needs to be implemented. and one is to reduce corporate tax to not drive people overseas. we can reduce the rate down to 15% and get as competitive. you need to reform the personal income tax rates to give people a tax cut. and you need to eliminate the death tax. with a few more tweaks our analysts say you can get people working again. >> another reform the president was talk about yesterday was prison reform. and doing away with mandatory minimum sentences for drug criminals of the lo

economy, saying that the united states needs to take back the jobs and put people to work. in a one-on-one interview i asked mr. trump about the controversy surrounding his developing hotel at the old post office and the move by some restaurateurs to cancel plans to move in. donald: they will pay me a lot of respect and not go in. now even wants to go in. they have leases. they can do nothing about it. they can lose hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. suzanne: coming up at 5:00, what mr. trump said whether or not there are illegal immigrants building his hotel in downtown washington. suzanne kennedy abc7 news. jonathan: still ahead for us at 4:00 -- bosses beware. productivity of the employees might be really low tomorrow. we'll tell you about the online shotting event that is called the july version of black friday. >> plus, a small animal at the national zoo leaves staff members scrambling for 30 minutes. find out what it was and how it managed to escape comi announcer: you're watching "abc7 news at 4:00". on your side. jonathan: we are on storm watch with poten

so i think overall, the united states needs to really do a better job. our units to do this are in my view, not funded and staffed enough. there is a unit in the state department and it has been beefed up recently but i'm telling you, we need to think of this more on a larger scale. like the manhattan project. when you hear in the media, they have 20,000 twitter followers so we throw up our hands? we have 320 million people in america we have the best technology. we have more people who can use twitter and smartphones and ipads than anybody. we can counter all of that. when they're on twitter, we could have five people on twitter. we could flood the airwaves to come together, get a plan. think big like the manhattan project. nobody thought could you split the atom. think big and counter this. >> practically speaking, that's interesting. i think about this. the nightmare scenario. everybody has been thinking about, watching the rise of isis or al qaeda before that.lves who are inspired. indirect. you can't break this chain of communication between somethi

spent so much time, has china changed the landscape and taken advantage of the fact that the united states needed them as a partner in the dialogue. >> clearly both sides feel that i don't want to get into the politics of it. and the u.s.-china relationship is important. u.s. needs china for security reasons and trade. what is more important about this crackdown is that if we look at the internal picture, it's really coming from two major impulses. for the president, he is having massive problems within the party. as you know this year the anticorruption campaign was going to route out big tigers and little tigers. what that resulted in is he has many enemies. he is at risk within the party of many. he is at risk within the chinese people. that is among the people. because of the crisis of the economy. and the other major social crisis. >> i remember teen amen square and when there was dissent in china, it was crushed literally. you say what is fascinating about the case the lawyers are not laying down and taking it they are fighting back. >> you are hearing that the tack bike in this crackdown i

worth pursuing the next few days, it is the 5+ 1 countries and, of course, germany, as if the united states neededome company in this thing, some corroboration to continue another 72 hours of negotiations. the white house they just look so imfeebled, so impotent, it is pitiful. >> the players of the absurd are endless. our partners in negotiation include china, which is one of the great routes for proliferation for iran, that's how they get the materials in the first place. russia which built them a reactor at bashir and helping them avoid sanctions. and now we have the scene where iran is supposed to be the pariah nation under sanctions, the world's leading terrorist sponsoring state. death to america, death to israel, that's what it chant, bankrolls terrorists, hezbollah, hamas, planning to murder people in washington not so long ago. we have had a scene at the negotiating table in vienna for more than 19 months now where all these world powers, the u.s., u.k., france china, russia and germany have been dictated to by iran. i think china and russia don't mind, but the u.s. which is the leader he

people in the united states need to realize this is a very sophisticated group. even though we're seeing horrific acts out of the cowards in the middle east we're talking about advanced degrees with people pld people they're recruiting intelligent well-educated fighting age males here in the united states. it's not even the police that are going to spot the attack. it's you, yo it's your baby sitter me my wife. this weekend, i get it. people have fatigue about terrorists attacks and all this kind of stuff. this is not the boy who cried wolf. this weekend people need to have their heads on a swivel. pay attention. if you see something, you really do need to say something. >> the propaganda value to nem in attacking on u.s. soil and in particular on the july fourth weekend would obviously be -- >> it's huge. and dates are very significant, particularly for islamic terrorists. they love it. they would love nothing more than to hit us on the fourth of july. it would have great play all around the middle east and a great propaganda and recruiting tool for them going f

i think that what the united states needs to do is to make a very firm commitment to find some areas in which china and the united states can cooperate with each other. the last two or three times i've met with xi jinping, i have urged him to form a partnership with the united states in dealing with global warming, because i think that, no matter what they decided, if the united states and china would agree on anything that would help prevent climate deterioration, the rest of the world would have to go along. and so if they can search for some way without diplomatic or financial or military problems if they could agree on that one thing, which i think would transform the world, and i think it would be the basis for further improvement. i would say that particular issue and any others we can find on which we have particular agreement, to emphasize those instead of the differences which exist between us. walter: finally, in this book, you reminded me that you were in favor of normalizing relations with cuba if possible when you were president. why did you not do so? what do you think o

chairman, in addition the united states will need to amplify its use of financial measures aggressively against key elements of the iranian economy to deal with increased risks based not just on this deal but also iranian foreign policy. it's not clear to me that this is well understood by all parties or part of our strategy. the risks from iran are real and will increase. iran will get a massive infusion of capital from initial sanctions relief with some of the estimates up to $150 billion. no doubt some of this will go to support terrorists and militant groups from the golan to yemen can. with the allowance for an iranian nuclear program, the deal will likely increase not decrease the risk of proliferation. the regime will use its control of the economy not only to further enrich itself, but to suppress internal opposition rule. y and ensconce its the concerns over human rights abuse also grow. and the reality and risks of iranian sanction evasion, money laundering, and other financial crimes will increase not decrease over time. the united states will need to use the same types of fi

it's not so the united states needs it more and the iranians and vice versament both sides teed it. >> why though? what is driving -- let's flip it around then. why have the iranians stayed at the negotiating table as long as they have? >> from their perspective this is an important issue. if the yesh hadn't been resolved they look at having a military confrontation with the united states. both were on a path because they were both pursuing coercive measures. they knew around 2012, early 2013 the most likely outcome of staying on the path would be a pill tear confrontation. that would serve no one. both would walk away a loserer. both sides actually have a common interest in getting this resolved. both sides were wise enough to realize they need to soflten tear position to get a deal. you don't get anything out of that unless you are you are willing to give something at the same time. >> this brings us to the brass tacks. if both sides have it in interest to get a deal why have we blown through the deadlines, wie aren't they there and what will another day -- what difference will it m

my grandparents on my father's side were immigrants to the united states. we need to make sure in the city of san francisco, i believe across the country, over 320 cities across the united states are sanctuary cities. we are not alone. we are not a pioneer. we join most other major u.s. cities in doing this. we need to not unfairly target those on our streets based on immigration. it's not what we are about as a country or city. >> we'll keep an eye on the legislation and find out how it fairs. san francisco supervisor mark farrell, thanks for talking to me. >> thanks for manager me. >> thank you for watching tonight's show. for more coverage, go to kqednews. i'm josh johnson, good night. >>> every single bite needed to be tasted. >> wow. >> it's like a great big hug. >> my parents put chili powder in my baby food. >> everywhere all over the table. >> my stomach is g

needs to rethink its strategy or risk isis developing into a full-blown operational state. why is that? >> well i think the united states needs to at least contemplate the possibility that its efforts to degrade and destroy isis will not work. that doesn't mean isis will start expanding in the middle east or to other parts of the world. it seemly means isis might be able to retain power in the areas it controls. if that's the case and if the united states doesn't want to go back in in large scale in iraq then it's going to have to figure out a way to for lack of a better phrase live with it and focus its efforts on containing isis. i think we're already doing that. we're organizing other forces to do that but we have to recognize that isis is in the process of trying to build what for all intents and purposes is a territorial state. they may call themselves a caliphate or whatever. but a territorial state is what they're trying to create. the united states and its partners should focus their efforts on maching sure it doesn't attract sympathizers elsewhere. >> professor steven walt, paul cruickshank, barbara star
