i took two extended research trips to vienna. i don't have a personal connection to the city but let me tell you as someone who is jewish, vienna is a very strange place to be even today. because there is a palpable sense, 75 years later, that we are still outsiders in the city that wanted every jew to leave. there is a small jewish community, there are russians and other eastern european jews who have settled in vienna the way they settled elsewhere and handful of -- only handful of jews who began as viennese jews. not terribly responsive to the question but the best i can take a stab at. >> i am curious about how this was passed down through generations because of an underground story so what did -- your wife's family and everything tucked away is fascinating. were they told anything? >> i am not exaggerating. were it not for the fact that eleanor for whatever reason had written it down, nobody would know anything. i certainly wouldn't be up here talking about the story because there is no way i would know about it. she knew he

he's in vienna.lks between iran and western powers over iran's nuclear program are happening. i'm guessing the situation in iraq and reopening of this embassy are talked about as well. okay. unfortunately we don't have him there. i'm sorry. we had the line but didn't have the sound. so we will try and re-establish the line to vienna and speak to him for his views. >>> okay. let's round up some of the day's other main stories now. the french president has condemned an attack on a teen e teenager in a suburb. the 16-year-old boy is in critical condition after he was beaten by a mob that suspected him of being behind a burglary. the president said it was an unspeakable and unjustifiable attack. >>> crew members of the south korean ferry that sank in april with the loss of 300 lives have argued it was up to the coast guard to rescue the passengers. the 15 surviving crew members of the sewol are on trial from charge ranging from homicide after abandoning the ship with most passengers still on board. >>> a

steve sedgewick has more on the opec meeting from vienna. >> reporter: here in vienna, ministers decided to leave production levels unchanged at 30 million barrels a day, roughly 40% of global oil supply. they did that because prices appear to be in some form of equilibrium with the supply and demand dynamics finally tuned at the moment. the provides opec is getting is around $108 a barrel. and they're happy with that price, as well. but there are concerns on a country by country basis. iraq has an insurgency on its hands, protests in libya means their production outfit is a fraction of what it could be. nigeria has issues and iran. iran, of course, looking to have the end of sanctions regarding its nuclear program so it can export as many barrels as indeed it hopes it can going forward. now, there are other issues, including the role of mr. el band re will continue in that role until the middle of 2015, after replacement -- there just wasn't one because we couldn't get a consensus amongst mechanics. this is steve sedgewick in vienna. >>> china is ramping up spending. it's planning big i

steve is in vienna once again. another year, another opec, steve. >> it's been many opecs and 30 million barrels a day has been the headline figure for the last three years. they produce what they like around there and try and keep the old price stable with saudi arabia what is interesting compared to last meeting, we were worried about shell and new production coming from outside and inside opec which could send the price lower. now it is the opposite equation. interesting to see the iraqi tensions you just mentioned add to that. the fact that we haven't gotten a nuclear deal with iran yet. a temporary lifting of sanction on their oil may be an issue if they can get a full lifting of the sanctions. libya is producing a couple hundred thousand barrels. they can produce 1.6 million. the tension is to the upside in price. a lot of people in the industry are looking at $110 a barrel as potentially a breakout point if indeed we see more tensions ahead. a lot of question marks about the upside rather than downside, bear

there is an episode that takes place in vienna sitting across from the gestapo officer who is going to be the one to issue a passport you saw that were required for all of these children before they could leave vienna. i don't know about you but if i was sitting across from gestapo officer as a jew in 1939, not sure i could handle that and there is both gilbert and eleanor sitting across the desk from that gestapo officer and eleanor data is capital said in english even though he understood a little german, when the officer arrested after making sure they know that he knows they are jewish, why are you here? gilbert said we are here to take 50 jewish children with us to america. it doesn't get any more profound than that. eleanor came a couple weeks later and the state department aide pools reciting washington d.c. back in the days you go to washington d.c. to get a passport, the aide calls for a side and says i don't have the legal authority, a woman -- not a jewish woman but a jewish woman going to nazi germany not a great idea. eleanor not the greatest inventor in the world at that

let's head back over to vienna to hear from him.ed by neil a guy who has been coming to opec meetings for more than 20 years. clearly alexa fanfare. let's talk about the saudi oil minister. a a's up with showing up of hours before the meeting? normally he comes a couple of days before. what does this say about the portions of this meeting? -- the importance of this meeting? >> does not really matter. no changes going to be made. there was not much else to talk about in terms of the formal meeting. he has been known over the years for a little bit of impatience. he will be back to the airport after the meeting today. daddy of the meeting. the expectation is that while they will keep the ceiling, everybody wants saudi arabia to pump more oil because opec will struggle in the second half of the year. iswhat we are being told that the expectation for demand growth has been different than expected, we have not as much supply growth from the non-opec countries. .ess oil from iraq military trouble in iraq. exportsthe iranian coming back. s

this is during ongoing nuclear negotiations in vienna. >> well, our team is on the ground in vienna.have meetings today. and this topic, this issue did come up on the margins of those discussions. it is no surprise given how much concern there is around the world, in the united states. and other countries and by the iranians as well that this was discussed. >> let me talk about on the margins. what sort of coordination were you talking about. given the government saying, we're not talking with iran. >> we're not calk talking about military cooperation, coordination. but we are going to engij in the iranians or discuss with the iranians adds we are with other countries in the region. and we feel that there's a benefit in that. and we will see where it goes from here, erin. >> the u.s. and eiran have something in common. they want isis out of iraq. from there, it is a completely different world views and a lot of people talked about the potential for iraq to become in many ways an iranian satellite state. are you worried that defeat of isis could inadvertently play into a stronger iran

they see him as a hero who fought for freedom from the occupiers from vienna.he city hall also has a story rooted in local conflict. destroyed it in 1992, along with the natural ash national library that it house. it is seen as a symbol of hope. >> earlier, we found out about the divisions in sarajevo regarding this anniversary. with the vienna philharmonic orchestra playing behind me, together with the choir of the national theater of sarajevo, people in sarajevo are commemorating 100 years of the assassination of archduke french -- france ferdinand. the division remains high between bosnian serbs and the muslim federation. the bosnian serbs refused to come over there. -- they open is the monument yesterday. say thiso commemoration is more divide among people rather than bringing them to the table together. >> that was frank kaufman reported from stereo vote. pro-russian rebels in eastern ukraine have just released a second group of european observers who had been held captive for weeks. it is the second group of observers the rebels released this week. ukrain

that is where vienna comes in. right now there are discussions on the iranian nuclear program, and the u.s. deputy secretary of state william burns is there, meaning he would be part of those discussions between the unless, iran and vienna today. >> what is the united states actually doing right now already with regard to what is happening there in iraq? >> right now militarily, relatively little, with the exception of marines and u.s. army personnel having arrived at the u.s. embassy in baghdad to protect it just in case. the united states, what it is doing right now is preparing for the worst-case scenario, if you will. that is first of all that militants might make it all the way to baghdad, and to the embassy there. that is why the aircraft carrier is now in the persian gulf, just in case it does come to air strikes in the end with secretary of state john kerry saying that drones may well be part of that equation. we are expecting the options to become a little clearer this week here in washington. >> philip in

they're in vienna trying to hammer out a final agreement before the july 20th deadline. on monday, iranian foreign minister mohammad zarif met with eu foreign policy chief catherine ashton and u.s. deputy secretary of state william burns. experts believe burns is also leading secret negotiations between the u.s. and iran. negotiators made little progress in talks held last month. now they're still far apart on several key issues. they can't agree on how many centrifuges should be allowed for iran's two uranium enrichment facilities. they need to decide whether to allow iran to continue building a heavy water reactor in iraq in the western part of the country. the two sides are also divided over the lifting of economic sanctions against iran. now on tuesday, negotiators will be returning to the bargaining table. for more on what's needed to achieve a deal we spoke with the institute of energy of economics, japan, an expert in middle east politics. >> well, it's quite difficult to consider what's going to happen in vienna this time. both sides have made their positions cle

>> reporter: those talks are already underway, the first happened monday night in vienna. the u.s.looking to iran for assistance in political matters. political assistance not military toy convince iraqi leader al-maliki that it is in his best interest to reach out to his political foes, especially the sunnies. u.s. believes that a unity government is the only way to prevent an all-out collapse of iraq and a sectarian war which would create an oil-rich breeding ground for al qaeda. >> randle pin pinkston live in washington. >>> meanwhile, isil making gains now seizing more territory across iraq. their goal to create a so-called islamic state in that region. imran kahn has more from baghdad. >> reporter: sunni rebels continues their advance in parts of the country. in the main city fierce clashes between islamic state and iraq and the levant fighters and shia militias, now there is some confusing information coming out of there was an incident where 63 prisoners were killed when there was an attack against a prison there. the government saying it was isil fighters. however, other so

in vienna austrian and a russian energy giants have put pen to paper on agreement that will see construction what begin on the austrian section of the south stream now the south stream is to transport gas from russia to europe but bypassing he crane is seen as a more stable and reliable route with tensions increasing between russia and ukraine now austria is keen for the work to go ahead despite deep divisions within the european union divisions that have halted construction work on the pipeline in bulk area earlier this month the bold garion prime minister decided to suspend work on the pipeline on the rate after a meeting with three u.s. senators including john mckay who was quoted off the woods as saying that the project should have as little russian involvement as possible now the official reason given for a bulgarian deciding to suspend the work was in order to iron out concerns that e.u. competition rules had been breached however many within russia feel that the decision was politically motivated gary's decision to do that has had a knock on effect serbia for example might have to do

and a in vienna after a busy day diplomacy at his pool scott was there. the continuing conflict in the east of ukraine was very much top of the agenda as russian president vladimir putin and his austrian counterpart heinz facia faced the media after an afternoon of meetings now the leaders were unanimous in suggesting that ukrainian president. could be doing more to engage. to engage the population of that restive south east by assuring that rights and aspirations of the population were realized. just that the declaring a cease fire is not enough there should be substandard talks on the core problems of keep saying here you're seven days and you must disarm within this period if there are no efforts made to reach any substantial agreements with eastern ukraine there won't be any results. studios to leave austria is is primarily aimed at finding a peaceful peaceful solution for the crisis in ukraine and bring it into some constructive stage of negotiations where some substantive arrangements could be made the most important thing is for russia and ukraine

the latest talks on the future of iran's nuclear program are underway in vienna. an interim agreement with six world powers comes to an end in late july. under that deal, iran cut back on parts of its nuclear program in exchange for reduced economic sanctions. the number two u.s. diplomat, deputy secretary of state bill burns, will be among the u.s. officials participating this week. starbucks is offering its employees two years of free or reduced-cost college, in a new partnership with arizona state university. it applies to any of the 135,000 u.s. employees who work at least 20 hours a week. and it's for online undergraduate courses. at the announcement in new york, education secretary arne duncan told the company's workforce to take advantage of the opportunity. >> it's not easy working. it's not easy raising a family, taking classes online. if you do this, if you invest in yourselves, what you'll do for yourselves, your kids, your families, for the next 40 or 50 years, you'll absolutely change that trajectory. i urge you to take advantage of this. i urge you t

as you know, the issue did come up between bill burns and iran on the margins of the p5+1 in vienna ony. there may be future discussions at lower levels, major, though we do not expect the issue to be raised again during this round of p5+1 nuclear discussions in vienna. >> reza marashi, explain. >> i think they're going about this exactly the right way. you need to dip your toe in the water before you jumping completely. because they have been working against each other and fighting a proxy war in iraq for quite some time, refusing to collaborate, which has blown up in her face as a result, both sides are slowly coming around to the realization that they need one another in some way shape or form. they need to collaborate if not communicate. the very positive first steps is having conversations, clarifying one another's position so that they can go back to their respective capitals, explain it to the political leadership because in order to move forward with any concrete action with any real tangible, sustained collaboration, leaders must be willing to take those kinds of risks. they w

it's happening now in vienna with the deputy of secretary of state bill burns, we believe, and the iranian officials. they were already meeting today on the nuclear issues. and they do have to figure out who is doing what. and if there were to be air strikes and you know the planning is being done, even though the president has indicated reluctant to do this. if they are going to do any kind of military action inside iraq, they have to figure out where the iranian forces are at the same time. jim miklaszewski? >> i'm sorry, andrea. let me go back to this idea, any suggestion that the u.s. and iranian militaries would work together. that door was pretty much slammed shut this morning when the pentagon spokesman, rear admiral john kirby said there are no intentions, no plans to coordinate military activities with iran inside iraq. there will be no military consultations with iran inside iraq. and i can tell you going back to what richard said a few minutes ago, andrea, that this is a sectarian conflict. and it is shaping up, if, in fact, the iraqi military forces get their act together with

and iranian officials briefly discussed a rack this week on the sidelines of nuclear talks in vienna. the speaking in washington, expectations were played down. >> they discussed the need for inclusivity in iraq and the need to refrain from pressing sectarian agenda in terms of where we go from here. we are open to continuing our engagement with the iranians just as we are engaging with other regional players on the sio in iraq. by id it is likely those discussions will happen at lower level and we do not expect further conversations with iran on this issue in vienna. >> the new york times reports the obama administration is considering an airstrike campaign similar to is drone attacks in yemen. obama has invited congressional leaders for a briefing on a rack. the u.s. has captured a suspect accused of masterminding the 2012 attack on the compound in benghazi, libya, that killed four americans, including ambassador christopher stevens. -- president obama hailed tala's capture. >> it is important to send a message that no matter how long it takes, we will find those responsible and bri
