Carter and joint chiefs chairman testified. A senate committee, cartser insisting the policy the the right one, and that isil will be defeated. Jaime mcincire is live, tell us what is the defense secretary and joint chiefs chairman had to say. Well, you know this hearing of the Senate Armed Services committee was an excellent display of two sides looking at the same set of facts and drawing starkly different conclusions. While they argued that already results and the strategy is clear to empower and support local forces on the ground, that when they fight effectively can take an old territory from isil. When conceded of the 7,000 volunteers that they have in syria, only 60 are in training and he admitted that is not very impressive number. I said the number 60, and you have the same reaction i do that that is a small number, and the reason for that, has to do with the criteria we apply and some of this is the law to these recruits so what are those . Well, they want to make sure these recruits are not a threat to the trainers. They want to make sure they werent involved in atrocities. And importantly that they are interested in fighting isil and not necessarily the regime of bashar al asaad. A lot of questions about when the forces may be able to retake, which is abandoned by forces in the face of an isil assault, the joint chief chairman Martin Dempsey revealed that one of the main things that u. S. Advisors did and set up that base, was to advise to hold off. And not well grounded he says the advice iraq to first isolate the isil forces in ramadi, and then have a much more deliberate plan, but joint chiefs chairman general dempsey also said that he thinks it will take three years in order to defeat isil just in iraq, and he said it could take a generation to remove the threat all together a time from that he described as about 20 years. Jaime listening to the president speak yesterday, it sounds like the administration is still very hesitant to put more u. S. Troop boots on the ground. They quantity to know why they cant just send a few troops that would advise them to make them more effective spotters on the ground that can call in air strikes that is not his military advice, he said those are not a silver bullet, he said to get the iraqi forces to fight that is the link pin. So a big disconnect there who is responsible for giving his best advice to the president and defense secretary. Jaime at the pentagon, thank you very much. South carolina vote add short time ago to remove the con fed rate flag from the state capitol. Before the vote, many senators stopped by the desk of late senator and reverend clemente. Those murders inspired the push to take down the flag. And his wife was there when the vote took place. She wanted to show her gratitude, the grace is con agous, and throughout this state, what we have done is we have spoken. One voice here, with unity. And we are not being devicive. Now the bill goes to the house, dianne has more on what needs to happen before it becomes law the House Democrats just had a press conference a little while ago, asking members to follow the lead and pass this bill, there are some amendments being proposed that would replace the flag that is now flying over the monument, with another potential con fed rate banner possibly an infinity flag, so the house members are concerned that this bill could get tied up and we might not see something get passed this week, as they were expecting. The flag was flown over the dome in 1962, to commemorate the 100, anniversary and then in 2000, it was moved to the monument, but we have talked to some legislatures particularly senator katrina sheely, who told us that over the years she has been hearing from her constituents quietly saying that this is something that really needs to be taken down, because it is offensetive a lot of people here in South Carolina. He was one of the people that voted against taking the flag down p so obviously this is a sensitive issue that has been proud to light more publicly since the shootings a couple of weeks ago. Now this morning at this point they are looking at the con fed rate flag, we are not looking at other monuments, put obviously the flag has opened up a dialog about race here, and we have heard about some of these protests and incidents erupting in other cities. Where race has become an issue and it is addressed and i think we are starting to see now that now dianne in columbia, South Carolina. Also in South Carolina investigators are on the scene of a midair collision between two planes. A military f 16 jet collides about 11 miles north of charleston. The pent upon says the fighter jet pilot ejected but is still unclear what happened to whoever was on board the other plane. The selfimposed deadline was supposed to be today. Reaction from teheran. Iranians are may taping both at an official level and those people i am speaking to that these deadlines are not theirs. They want the best deal they can get, and the best deal they can get includes the removal of sanctions now we talked very generally about sanctions but there are very very different regimes of sanctions that have been imposed over time. There are United Nations sanctions. Trade sanctions and economic sanctions. There are particular United Nations sanctions have to do with nonNuclear Weapons conventional weapons and there are the u. S. Sanctions including the swift banking sanctions now swift stands for the society for worldwide interbank Financial Transactions it is a society of about 9,000 banks and almost every country in the world which allowed for inner country commerce through the trade, through the exchange of money through the system. And that is really those are the sangs that hurt them, because banks and businesses, and iranian people cannot move money electronically around the world. They cant send wires and that means that while there arent sanctioning on a lot of foods people cant sell them to iran, because they cant get paid. So thats one of the sanctions they want removed. Now, as we get closer to a deal one thing they are talking about the removal of the United Nations sanctions on conventional weaponry. Iran has for a long time not been able to buy sell, export conventional weaponry, let alone nuclear weaponry. They are interesting in selling the weaponry, the western powers are at the negotiating power seem far less interested and it does appear the republican commed congress may not approve a deal that has that kind of a provision in it. This may be a good signal that other issues have been resolved and they are moving on to issues further down the list or it may mean that a deadline will be missed. Erier we spoke with undersecretary of state who was in charge of the file during the George W Bush administration. We of coursed him about the influence and thousand they plan to deal with that. I think the first order of business is to try to get an agreement that will freeze the Iranian Program and keep them away from weapons, in addition to that, the United States has always opposed and will continue to oppose secretary clinton said in her interview, iran ors terrorist activities. What is interesting about these negotiations is that they take place at the same time as iran is extending its power into the sunni arab parts of the middle east thats a great problem for the saudis for the kuwaitis and others also a great problem for thed mo earn palestinians so it is in the American Interest to blunt that iranian push for power, maintaining the arms embargo on iran. It is very important and i dont think the u. S. Will compromise this away. The u. S. Is not supporting an extension of influence i think what we are trying to do is resolve the most important problem first. Iran with Nuclear Weapons would be a complete game changer. Certainly against the palestinians as well as the United States and israel, and thats not in our interest, so i think that president obama is right to go for a nuclear deal with iran if it can be achieved and then, of course, you deal with the other aspects that are difficult, and so you might see in the next couple of months it may sound anomalous, the United States will be Going Forward with the Nuclear Agreement but also pushing back with our allies at the same time. Prime minister just arrived in brussells for emergency meetings on the debt crisis. He had a conversation today with president obama on his plans, he must convince the 18 euro zone leaders to reopen negotiations as soon as possible, before banks in agrees run out of cash. The need for a new Financial Rescue package for agrees never been more urgent, thats because the Banking System is on the rink of collapse closures have been extended until thursday, at least apart from limiting withdrawals from cash point machines after the European Central bank declined the request for more emergency funding. Meanwhile, more and more financial analysts are putting the chances of greece exiting the euro zone at 50 or higher. I am definitely worried. In the end, i dont think lit happen. Agrees must be in europe, the reason is financial because we have an uhm pirela that protects us from becoming the third world. Europe must remember that greece offer add lot during the second word war it achieve add lot for the allies. They should be a little more lenient with us now. Greeks tend to be pretty misinstructionful of their press, but these days the headlines are more united in reflecting the gravity of the moment. Talking about cypress taking the peoples no, and the yes to brussells. Time is running out for a solution, before catastrophe.
