Prison again. Athens is being forced to make more cuts and thats on top of the austerity measures already in place. The Greek Parliament must also agree to the reforms by wednesday if they want that help. The deal means greece would receive its third bailout package in five years thats all worth more than 80 billion. Meanwhile, the greek people are already reacting to this deal. In just a moment, well go to patricia, but first to jacki roland live from brussels. What is the negligent step for the greek government . Good morning morgan. The next step is for a clearly fausted greek Prime Minister whose been up all night going through extremely tough negotiations, one official said that he had effectively been subjected to mental waterboarding, thats pretty strong language, he now has to go back to greece, take these measurements to the parliament and secure approval of all these tough reforms that his European Partners are dear handing Pension Reforms market reforms privatizations, its a long list and the parliament has two days to parcel those measures into law. Does this agreement mean that greece will in fact remain a member of the euro zone. Grexit, that word, has been avoided. There is this feel that the greeks have been battered and bruised by this process that to earn extent, their sovereignty undermined, that foreigners are checking up on them as though they are not full duties in their own right so it has been a very bruising experience for this ideal of european unity and its not over yet because Greek Parliament has to pass the measures. Various european parliaments have to get the bailout talks to begin. At the end of the week, the negotiations will begin for releasing that money that greek badly needs. This deal is going to be a pretty hard pill to swallow for a lot of greeks, but Prime Minister tsipras is rallying their support for it this morning. The great majority of greek people will support this effort to return to growth as they will recognize that we fought a righteous battle to the end. Patricia is live in athens this morning. How are the people reacting to this news . Well, as one prominent greek comment tater noted today while victory may have been snatched from the victories of defeat, there is anger on the streets of athens today. Not only from the people who voted no in that recent referendum, a but anger is directed toward germany because of pressure they put on the greeks. Right now in the streets in athens, there is no love lost for germany. No one knows how this will end. It will end of course one day but with the strangling news that the germans would tighten round us, doing what they want. Thats what i think will happen. Its not that people are hungry, theyre furious because they dont know whats going to happen tomorrow. Now one thing that a lot of greeks are angry about is what they call the very short memories of the germans. If youll recall, germany had half of its debt forgiven after world war ii. One country that for gave them was greece. A lot of anger on the streets of athens today directed toward germany. Speaking of short memories, isnt this deal like the one that tsipras and the greeks just rejected last week . Actually, its a worse deal, its got more punishing measures in it. One key provision not likely to go down well are are the privatization of state assets. That means selling off assets that belong to the greek people, things like the port. They are talking about a fund, 60 billion of these valuable assets that belong to the greek people. The bitter pill is half of the proceeds from that are going to pay back the bailout only a quarter are ear marked for investing in greece and creating growth and jobs. Joining us live from athens this morning thanks for being with us. Another deal that appears to be coming together is the Nuclear Talks with iran. Iranian state television said negotiators have reached an agreement and will likely make an announcement today. Diplomats say there is momentum towards a final deal and russias foreign minister Sergey Lavrov was asked to fly back to weigh in along with the British Foreign secretary, also expected back at the talks. Joining us this morning is ali velshi. You just returned from several weeks in tehran, right . Yeah, yeah. If this deal goes through today, what happens next. While i was there, i was hearing from Iranian Press that there was a deal imminent, it was drafted and almost ready and it didnt end up turning out to be true, but we are hearing from different sources. The two biggest issues is that its got to get a sign off in iran. One would assume that the iranian would not be making a deal without the approval of the president and supreme leader. Here in the United States, its a 60 day approval period. The deal will probably get voted down in congress, and then president obama has to veto it, and its got to be vetoproof. Thats whats going to happen and then the sanctions start to get lifted. Irans Nuclear Program is frozen as we speak. If they dont get a deal by today, it could unfreeze. You mentioned the Iranian Press. What do the people have to say . The Iranian Press is feeding a notion that the iranian people want a deal. They are less concerned about the nuances being discussed and more concerned with the lifting of sanctions. Thats the thing on everybodys minds. They cant be on the world banking system. We discussed this last week. They are all iranian people are very excited about what happens if financial sanctions get lifted, if iran cancel oil to the rest of the word, sell goods. Iran is an industrial country. It produces things, wants to sell them to the word. Thats where everybody said attention is in iran and theres definitely a lot of momentum toward that. Heres the issue in the press there are hardliners and conservatives in iran. They are a minority, but very influential. They hold positions in government, they dont want this deal to go through. Whats playing out is this battle between hardliners who want no deal and pretty much everybody who does. You were talking about this notion of iran as a producer. The reality is they also are the fourth Largest Oil Producer in the world. Thats right. How does that affect us here . Are we going to see more barrels of oil . Youve seen the price of oil drop in the last few days. Iran is a very, very big oil producer. 20 have the worlds traded oil goes through the strait of mormuz, 20 miles wide at its choke point. If anything goes wrong or anything attacks iran, they are going to close to choke point. Iran can affect things as a supplier and at the point where the oil ships. A lot hinging on today. Always a pleasure. Good to see you. Word of a deal was met with skepticism. Some senators expressed concerns about a potential deal with iran. Lisa stark joins us from washington this morning. There seems to be a lot of skepticism on both sides of the aisle here. Absolutely. This is an equal opportunity deal to on both sides the republican and the democrats not very favorably looking upon this. House speaker john boner this weekend said that no deal is better than a bad deal and mitch mcconnell, the Senate Leader saying this will 11 iran on the flesh hold of a nuclear power. On the democratic side, new jersey senator bob menendez said we are going to roll back sanctions, but not Irans Nuclear capability. We have both democrats and republicans very skeptical about what may come out of this negotiation in ve men that. What then exactly are the Major Concerns on capitol hill . There are a host of them. First and foremost, a lot of people on capitol hill want to know how soon will sanctions be lifted and how many will be lifted. Iran wants everything lifted right away. That is definitely not the sentiment here on capitol hill. There are a number of other concerns. Those were expressed this weekend again. Here we have mitch mcconnell. I think its going to be a very hard sell if its completed in congress, and were going to be interested in things like with him the iranians reveal their past research and development . What have they done in the past on this subject . Is it verifiable . Will we be able to look at all of their military bases . Those are some of the key issues. Is it verifiable, will inspectors be able to get in, will we be able to look at the military bases . The devil will be in the details and everyone is waiting to see what those details are. Speaking of details what exactly is Congress Looking for in this 60 days after this deal could potentially be reached . What new evidence are they looking for . We dont know exactly what is in this deal. Certainly congress is reacting as if they do. They do want to see what kind of sanctions relief there is, what kind of verifiability there is. They do have up to 60 days. They can only do a yes or no vote. They cant change the deal. They can approve it or pass a measure of disapproval. Then the president can veto that and congress will have to muster enough votes to override that veto. We would expect there will be disapproval and probably they may pass that disapproval vote. When obama vetoes it, can they override the veto. We will keep our eyes on that. Joining us live from washington, thanks so much for being with us. Another canned date joins the field running for the white house, scott walker launches his bid. Why he thinks hes the man for the job. The hunt in mexico for one of the worlds most notorious drug king pins. El chapo breaks out of prison and now the u. S. Is pledging to find him. Theres a manhunt for one of the most wanted people in the world. El chapo broke out of a members kevin prison where hed been since last year. The u. S. Pledges to help track him down as part of an effort to end mexicos deadly drug war. Mexican police have set up check points on roads near to the high security prison from where El Chapo Guzman escaped. Cars are being searched and nearest airport closed as they hunt for one of the worlds most wanted men. Mexican Security Officials say he got out through a sophisticated 1. 5millimeter long tunnel built to his cell. The tunnel has p. V. C. Pipes and a motorcycle adapted for rails with a traction mechanism. The last time he escaped from prison it took the mexican military 13 years to find him. His capture in february, 2014 was hailed as one of the biggest blows to the drug trade in decades. El chapo translated at shorty in english is Small Institute at your but cuts an imposing figure in narco trafficking. He has made forbes magazines billionaire list. His cartel is said to control some of the most lucrative drug smuggling routes from mexico to the United States, trafficking heroin cocaine met am pet mean and marijuana. He is a specialist in logistics, he is able to move cocaine from south america to mexico to move chemical precursors used to make meth from russia to mexico to Southeast Asia into mexico to be processed and make meth and deliver it worldwide. Gus man was arrested in 1993, but bribed his way out of mexicos highest security prison. He escaped in a laundry basket. This web of tunnels linking seven homes allowed him to evade capture for more than a decade. During that time, he consolidated his drug cartel and built popular sport providing people with money jobs and security. When he was recaptured in 2014, thousands took total streets to show support for a man they saw at their savior. Guzmans escape for a second time is a major setback for the mexican government, often accused of corruption by its own people. Al jazeera. Another hearing today for a Washington Post journalist long held on espionage charges in ran. It was his third time in court although its not clear what happened inside, since that hearing was behind closed doors. He was detained one year ago in tehran. His family, as well as the Washington Post both deny allegations that he was a spy. Another republican entering the 2016 president ial race. Now im running for president to fight and win for the American People. Wisconsin Governor Scott walker post that had video to his website this morning. The 47yearold is one of the youngest candidates in the race, not to mention the only one without a college degree. John henry reports on why he could be a formidable challenge for his fellow nominees. Scott walker is an unlikely front runner for the republican president ial nomination. Good evening wisconsin. A ministers son and college dropout, he was a little known and little noticed Milwaukee County executive when he became wisconsin governor in 2011. When his first budget eliminated public bargaining rights for unions he earned empolice and a knoll following at the top tier of president ial candidates. Its made him a hero among republicans. Thats been helpful on the national stage. At the state level, it got him into controversy quickly and continued to polarization that hasnt led go during his time in office. There was a rare recall election. For months, demonstrators protested, calling huer walkers resignation. He won that battle and its that stance on unions that makes him so popular with core republican voters. Taking on the unions whether act 10 or signing right to work shows hes not scared. Some say his style masks a stubborn streak. What you see is what you get with him very down to earth straightforward, decisive. He has this calm demeanor about him, but at the same time, anybody that would misinterpret that would find out differently like i said. Hes decisive. Union leaders watched in dismay as walker won reelection in 2014, then went one step further, signing a bill making isis a socalled right to work state, one that bars all unions public and private from forcing members to pay dos. The u. S. Economy needs to be fixed and he has broken wisconsins economy so he is not the right leader for the nation. He hasnt produced the 250,000 jobs he promised when first elected, but he has cut taxes, passed a law requiring voters to have i. D. s and allowed gun owners to carry concealed weapons all of them crowd pleasing moves likely to rally conservatives in a national election. Al jazeera, madison, wisconsin. Well bring you walkers speech announcing his run live at 6 00 p. M. Eastern. Back to work for women of team u. S. A. How they hope to captain lies on the big win at the world cup. The real facts around shark attacks. Should you be worried if youre going for a swim. Well tell you all that and more coming up just after the break. Putting loved ones in a nursing home. Hoping for the best. My father died because of the neglect. Are they betraying your trust . Its a forprofit business. We have heardar lot in recent weeks about shark attacks in the atlantic ocean. Swimmers have been bitten in florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, so lets bring in Nicole Mitchell for todays viral impact. Im sure you are planning on going to the beach this this summer. Should web scared . Its only a relative thing. You want to be careful out there, but compared to other things, you are more likely to get in a car accident than to be bitten by a shark. Around the world only seven to 10 fatal shark attacks per year on average so that is actually a very low number for fatalities. Of course North Carolina has gotten a lot of recent attention, seven attacks there not all fatal of course since june 11, but thats more than all of last year, and in part, theres other factors, as well, but Climate Change, warmer water farther north will mean sharks will start traveling north, as well. Heres some of those stats. More in florida than any other state for about the 10 year period from 2004 to 2013. Florida had 201 attacks. Unprovoked attacks we average 3050 a year through the country. Now by comparison, North Carolina has gone up, california has gone way down for its segment of the population. The rates have plunged about 90 with more people going in the water since the 1950s. Why . Because theres conservation efforts to have more other animals to eat because we have been saving other animals. Heres some of the things that could impact you more, far more likely to die of Heart Disease even random things like lightning or a fireworks accident, your chances of being attacked and killed by a shark one in almost 4 million so relatively very few. Not so scary. Im more concerned about my heart. Thank you appreciate it. Switzerland is expanding its investigation into alleged corruption inside soccers world governing body. Authorities say there are now at least 81 alleged Money Laundering transactions linked to the 2018 and 2022 world cup bids. That is a whole lot more than previously sought. The investigation in switzerland is independent from the Justice Department probe into fifa. Speaking of soccer, here in the u. S. , after taking some time off, many players on the world cup winning womens team will go back to their day jobs. They are returning to player in the womens soccer league. The hope is that that world cup win will fuel more fans for this game, too. It was a stunning performance on the biggest stage in their sport, the game set Television Ratings records and drew tens of thousands of fans to canada where they painted the town red white and blue. They showed up huge for us, this whole tournament, every city, all across canada. To get them to come back down and support us in the league would be huge. The league is the nwsl, the nine Team National womens soccer league. Bill pridemore owns the seattle rain. Its a huge opportunity for the league. Obviously, last months been all about womens soccer, a lot of free publicity. The current world cup buzz is no guarantee of business success, two previous leagues have started and failed sings the u. S. Last won it all in 1999. Laura harvey is the rains coach and general manager. She sees the players as the key all but one of the 23 u. S. National team members plays in the league. They play for the National Team but also week in week out play in the local market and play in a league that runs for seven months of the year. Theyre out here and you can come and watch them play whenever you want. The World Cup Final drew 30 Million Viewers at its peak and was the most watched soccer game r. On u. S. Television. The nwsl broadcasting deal with fox sports is for just 10 games with four streamed on line only. The women have a long road ahead in other ways, too. Major league baseballs minimum salary is 507,000 a year. The nfl rookie minimum is 435. For pro basketball, 525,000. Thats almost twice as much as the salary cap for entire teams in the nwsl. Minimum pay is just 6,800 a season. The maximum less than 38,000. Womens soccer maximum is slight less than the wnba minimum and mens pro soccer minimum is 60,000. That Team Salary Cap for the nwsl doesnt include National Team players scattered equally between the teams. They are paid by the u. S. Soccer federation, the sports organizing body in this country mexico and canada do the same. We asked u. S. Soccer for those salary figures but were turned down. The challenge is take this energy and support for the National Team on the big stage and somehow turn it into spectators in the stadium and cash in the till on the local level. Some bring in 14,000 fans a game, triple the league average. I view this as a decade long project, were three years in. What can the players do . Keep winning. That never hurts. Seattle hopes to fill these seats for the first time this saturday to ride that world cup win into the first sellout of the season. Al jazeera seattle.

Close but no deal yet in the iran Nuclear Talks. Want sticking Points Holding up the deal. A new view of a classic character, the sequel to kill a mocking bird with controversy on the character of at cuss finch. Greece has avoided financial collapse after reaching an agreement on a bailout deal with european creditors. The new deal calls for deeper cuts on top of the austerity measures already in place. The Greek Parliament needs to pass the new reforms demanded by euro zone creditors by wednesday. Global markets rose on word of the deal, which could be worth more than 80 billion. The greek people are already reacting to this deal, well go to athens in just a moment, but begin our coverage at the talks in brussels. Deeper cuts are in store for greece and athens needs to sell this agreement really fast, the parliament has to vote. Do you think theyre going to russia into it . Good morning randall. Well, they havent got a lot of choice. Russias been the name of the game for the last couple of weeks in terms of one deadline following another. This package of measures has been agreed in marathon talks that lasted over the night. That very unpalatable measures for greece, privatizations, pension reform, market reform, all words that dont sit comfortably with the socialist government there but if greece wants to stay in the euro, wants the other European Countries to stop negotiating on a new bailout deal for greece, then the Greek Parliament that to adopt these measures into law by wednesday. Thats a very tight schedule. The agreement is just the first stage. We now have to deal with the bailout terms. What is the outlook for dealing with all of those details . Many people are breathing a sigh of relief early on brussels monday. This is only the end of the beginning. Yes, theres going to have to now be nitty gritty negotiations here in brussels without exactly how that bailout will be put into place provided the Greek Parliament does adopt those measures. We are talking about a fund that would be worth more than 80, approximately 80 billion over three years. In order to get access to that, the greeks will need to privatize about 50 billion worth of state assets. These privatizations are again going to be quite a bitter pill for the greeks to swallow so yes, there is the prospect of this bailout but the root to that bailout will be by no means smooth. So jacki does the greek government have to sell some of its assets in order to comply with the terms of this agreement . The bailout would be worth 80 billion. The greeks themselves need to stump up 50 billion worth of solid assets. Were talking about things like a big port, regional airports, we are talking about infrastructure things that have been privatized in the u. S. And many western countries but still are stateowned in greece. Once theyve put those assets into a fund to be privatized, theyve got some collateral that they can use to get more funding and that money will be spent to prop up the greek banks to start repaying that huge greek debt and also put money into the Greek Economy itself. Obviously the idea of privatizing, asking a leftwing socialist government to privatize state assets is going to cause pain and bitter recriminations in athens. Thank you for that report. Now, lets switch over to our team in athens. Patricia is in athens now. What are people saying as they hear about the onerous terms of this deal . As one prominent greek commentator noticed today, euro zone victors may have snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, there is anger on the streets of athens. Not just because greeks voted no in the referendum, against harsh austerity measures. Anger is directed toward germany. Germany put tremendous pressure on the greek government to accept these terms. Right now, there is no love loft for germany on the streets of athens today. No one knows how this will end. It will end of course one day, but with the strangling news that the germans would tighten round us, doing what they want. Thats what i think will happen. Its not that people are hungry, theyre furious because they dont know whats going to happen tomorrow. Now one thing that a lot of greeks are angry about is what they call the very short memories of the germans. If youll recall, germany had half of its debt forgiven after world war ii. One country that forgave them was greece. There is anger about the germans going out of their way to strip the greeks of their dignity. A gentlemen was complaining about germany and wearing a cap that said mercedes. Tsipras sold the greek people on voting no, and now he has to accept a deal that isnt as good as the one he could have received. Is there any anger directed toward tsipras . There is definitely anger and people are angry about these harsh austerity measures. When weve asked people about tsipras, some people have been willing to give him a chance. They know that hes between a rock and a hard place. They know that he doesnt have a lot of leverage. Even though greeks are accepting responsibility for the state their economy is in, theyre blaming previous governments for driving the economy to this point. A lot of greeks are still willing to give such practices a chance. How that plays out over the next few days, only time will tell. Right now a lot of anger is directed toward the germans especially over privatizations. Thank you. An economist in athens joins us this morning. Tell us what does this deal look like in terms of securing greeces Economic Future . Well, the thing is, it happened to the brinksmanship we witnessed over the last months had a very huge price. Trust has evaporate and now believe up trust comes with a very intrusive program a program that weve never witnessed before as far as its far reaching consequences in the Greek Economy. From the positive perspective if actually a lot of the members pass through and im talking about the privatization liablization of the private markets, measures on collective dismissals, labor market reform, we could actually have a reformed Greek Economy. Really, what we need right now is for greeces place in the euro zone to be secured investors, funds markets need to know that greek is firmly in the euro zone. This is the only way to rebuild trust. Its up to the greek people and personnel to develop alternative Business Model for the economy. The parliament has to vote by wednesday. Do you think that they will indeed do what they have to do to allow this process to move forward . I think mr. Tsipras saw the other option, a messy default. Going into the unchartered waters of a new currency. I see think he is going to make sure that the measure is passed by. He already gave a substantial consensus when he asked for the parliament to authorize him in the negotiations. I think that webbed see this majority passing through when he actually comes to pass the m. The problem is what will be the cost to his party. I think this time, he might be saving the country but dividing his party. We have only a few seconds left. I must ask you, do you anticipate the government will have to layoff some people that it recently hired when the new government came into effect . You mean reversing legislation that has been passed . Yes firing people, people losing their jobs. Well, i think for mr. Tsipras to move that he is credible when it comes to social adjustment reform, he will have to cut down or take back all the measures that really pointed to management of the economy clamping down on hirings. Thank you very much for joining us from athens. Now to iran. Iranian state television saying negotiators have reached a deal in vienna and will make an announcement today. This is day 17 of marathon negotiations. Diplomatics say there is momentum toward you a final agreement, but john kerry tweeted to difficult issues must still be resolved. Many of his counterparts are headed back to vienna today. We have with us this morning on set ali velshi who just returned from iran, welcome back. Thank you sir. Normally when we see the ministers going to vienna, thats a good sign. Yeah, theres a lot of technical issues that have to be worked out technical meaning be the timing of the lifting of sanctions and things like that. John kerry and the european Foreign Policy director have been staying there with the Iranian Foreign minister throughout the whole thing. The others have come and go, because basically these three are representing most of the interests there. The exception is russia and china, slightly different interests in the region. Everybody else went home and said you three work it out well probably come to some terms if the three of you can do it. Theres politics in john kerry tweeting out statements that there are issues to be resolved, because Iranian Press is running with the idea that its all done by the signing. I think theyre sort of saying no, there are a couple things to be done and until they get done, we are not getting this deal finalized. The remaining sticking points, the big ones rediscovered inspection of nuclear it. And interviews with iranian scientists. It was found out in 2003 that they were doing more than they said they were doing. Remember, they are part of the Nuclear Nonproliferation treaty. Iran has been found to be a bit dishonest around its Nuclear Program. The agency wants to interview rans Nuclear Scientists and figure out what theyve been up to and whether its civilian or military. That aside ran has said it wants this 2007 conventional arms embargo lifted. That was on the table. They just didnt get to it. Now they are sort of getting stuck on this, because the western nations in vienna want it lifted. The chinese and russians, western nations want it in place. The chinese and russians dont mind a conventional arms embargo. They can do some business. If youre iran, you have an ally if youre russia, you have an ally in the region. Russias ally is syria right now, not the toughest on the block. What about hardliners in iran, do you anticipate they will cause problems . We havent talked about people opposing it in the u. S. , i dont want to call them hardliners. They have a lot in common. We saw demonstrations in iran, typical of the last day of ramadan, protests against israel. They were big they werent substantially bigger than normal. This is the last hurrah for the hardliners if that if this deal goes through it sidelines them. Its important for the people in the west to understand the role that conservatives and hardliners play. Our imagery of iran, looks like everybody is a conservative, but theyre not. The hardliners there like conservatives here are a portion of the population. They are in official positions in the government, clergy and judiciary, but they are not everybody. They realize that they are losing ground. If a deal is made, their influence wanes a little bit. Thank you for joining us. Good to see you. News of progress in vienna was met with skepticism in washington. Some key senators hit the talk show circuit to discuss terms about a potential deal with iran. Lisa, talk to us about the skepticism among democrats and republicans. Gyp deed, you know, they always say the devil is in the details, but even without those details, even without specifics there is a lot of concern not just among republicans but also among democrats. The concern is that the u. S. May be making a Better Bargain for iran than for the u. S. Itself. As negotiations appeared to reach a turning point in vienna, politicians in washington expressed reservations. At the end of the day i think people understand that if this is a bad deal, that is going to allow iran to get a nuclear weapon, they would own this deal if they voted for it, so will want to disapprove it. Congress has 60 days to review on a deal. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell con them said the fate of that review will depend on the details. I think of its going to be a very hard sell if completed in congress. Were going to be interested in things like will the iranians reveal their past research and development. What have they done in the past on this subject . Is it verifiable . Will we be able to look at all of their military bases. Even some democrats are expressing concern that whatever the deal, it wont be tough enough to justify sanctions relief. It makes me anxious because what a deal looks like is incredibly important. The problem here, george, is that we have gone from preventing iran having a nuclear ability to managing it. Congress simply gets an up or down vote. Obviously, they cant change the deal. If they do reject it, pass whats called a measure of disapproval, its expected that president obama would then veto that, then it would be up to congress to try to muster enough votes to override that veto. The president in a sense hat upper hand, because its likely that congress wouldnt override that veto. They could raise a lot of stink in the next two months. Lisa stark in washington, thank you. Coming up in our next half hour, well speak with iranian american journalists who just returned from the talks. A hearing for a Washington Post journalist held on espionage charges in iran. Not clear what happened in the hearing, it was behind closed doors. He was detained a year ago in tehran. His family and the Washington Post deny allegations that he is a spy. On the agenda today the u. S. Is in talks with several north african countries about setting up a military base. It would be used to launch drones to combat isil in libya. Alaska clearing up debris thought to be from the 2007 tsunami that struck japan. Japan. Watches and warnings are up for a big part of the country today. There could be more severe storms bringing tornadoes and damaging winds. Nicole mitchell is here with more on our rough weather. When its already starting in the morning, you know the rest of the day is probable not going to be too pleasant. This morning, we have a line of storms moving now a little bit more into indiana illinois, michigan its already moved through wisconsin. When it did that, just in the last couple hours producing over 30 reports mostly of wind damage trees down, power lines down. Over illinois today the best chance is wind damage. This is the number two to the top, today will definitely see severe weather. Flooding concerns in the area, but just to the west of this, heat is the concern. We have an upper level High Pressure that causes sinking air and that heats the air. Heat indexes today well over 100 is a health risk. Thanks, nicole.

Campaign Officials Say she will argue the real measures for success should be how much incomes rise for the middle class, not just economic growth.

She heads to washington to meet with congressional democrats. Michael shure has more. Secretary Hillary Clinton will go going to capitol hill on tuesday, a trip that she wants to make rather than one shed being called to make. Her campaign is calling this a timeout from the campaign trail but in fact, shes going there to do a little campaigning of her own, meeting with the congressional black caucus, the hispanic caucus and Asian Pacific american caucuses. These are very important groups for her to hold together, as she heads to the 2162016 campaign, she needs to get people out. That isnt lost on representative Sheila Jackson lee of texas a member of the congressional black caucus. We are a body of members that have diversity streaks and are important members.

Those values are exactly what mcwants to tap into, as she takes this message around the country. Shes starting here in washington with these groups, but trying to hold together a really important coalition, a coalition of voters, many who voted for the first time in 2008 or 2012, but voter that is propelled obama to victory. Those are voters that shes going to have to see come back to the polls. While the campaign say this may be a timeout from campaining, it may be the most important campaigning she does all summer.

Why Scientists Say critics should give them a chance before passing judgment. Passing by pluto. It took 10 years but on the verge of shining a light on this unexplained world. Welcome to al jazeera america. It is 8 28 eastern time, taking a look at todays top stories. Greece averted financial collapse athens reached an agreement with its creditors after marathon negotiations in brussels. The greek government will have to make more cuts on top of austerity measures already in place. Parliament must agree to the reforms by wednesday. There are reports that a deal on irans Nuclear Program may be announced today. The associated percent and Iranian State t. V. Say diplomats in vienna have reached an agreement, but secretary of state john kerry says there are as i will issues to resolve. Foreign ministers from the u. K. And russia are on their way back to the talks today. Just returning from covering the talks joining us from los angeles, thanks for getting up so early there. From what you are hearing did it appear that this deal is almost done or are there details that could derail it and extend that deadline yet again . Its been almost done for the past few days, i would say. They are very close to a deal at diplomatics are saying. There are still a couple of issues they are hammering out as far as the rolling out of the sanctions and also the in experiences, but it looks like they are very, very close and theres reports from vienna coming that the announcement will in fact be today. Tell me what you are hearing on the ground in tehran, he is special ply i dont mean young people, those barn after the revolution. Young people have just been waiting for this deal for a very long time. This is one of the main promises of the president ial campaign of rouhani when he was running for president. He promised to resolve the tension with the west and specifically to resolve the nuclear case thats been going on for over a decade. People have just been impatiently waiting not just young people, but specifically younger iranians see a brighter future, a better future, doors opening to hem economically, politically and just to rein gauge with the world and perhaps better relations with countries in the region and also with the west, and specifically with the u. S. So while young people are interested in as you say others, as well, im curious, how much influence does the Younger Generation have on those who are in charge of the country . Not only president rouhani but also the supreme ayatollah. Well, the young people are the majority of the people who actually voted in the president ial election and brought penalty rouhani to power. This is something that hes constantly said in his campaign and after he became president. Its true that theres still certain portions of the iranian power establishment that are not through elections and the Younger Generation doesnt have necessarily a lot of influence over it, but the atmosphere of society is tired of this tension on the on Going Nuclear case for a decade. That has influenced the power sector. The hardliners are a section of the Iranian Elite who are not happening about negotiating with the u. S. , not happy about engaging for this, but theyve sort of been sidelined and contained by the current administration, the moderates who are in power. It looks like the moderates have the upper hand with the support of the Younger Generation in iran and they will be able to reach a deal. Now in practical terms what would the lifting of anxious whenever that occurs mean for the average resident of tehran, for example . It will be huge. It will have huge economic and political implications for People Living in iran. People are following the news literally we the minute or by the second, because the market in iran responds to this directly. The feeling of hope thats injected into the market, into the society will have effect, even on the stock market in iran. Also, when the sanctions are lifted when the block assets are released, that will help the iranian economy get a much better boost. Thats why the young people especially are looking forward to this. Thank you for your insight and joining us on aljazeera america. A manhunt happening right now for one of the most wanted men in the world. Drug lord guzman, also known as el chapo broke out of a mexican prison where he was since last year. The u. S. Is pledging to help track him down as part of the effort to end mexicos deadly drug war. We have more. Mexican police have set up check points on roads near to the high security prison from where El Chapo Guzman escaped. Cars are being searched and nearest airport closed as they hunt for one of the worlds most wanted men. Mexican Security Officials say he got out through a sophisticated 1. 5millimeter long tunnel built to his cell. The tunnel has p. V. C. Pipes and a motorcycle adapted for rails with a traction mechanism. The last time he escaped from prison, it took the mexican military 13 years to find him. His capture in february, 2014 was hailed as one of the biggest blows to the drug trade in decades. El chapo translated at shorty in english is Small Institute at your but cuts an imposing figure in narco trafficking. He has made forbes magazines billionaire list. His cartel is said to control some of the most lucrative drug smuggling routes from mexico to the United States, trafficking heroin, cocaine, met am pet mean and marijuana. He is a specialist in logistics, he is able to move cocaine from south america to mexico to move chemical precursors used to make meth from russia to mexico to Southeast Asia into mexico to be processed and create meth and deliver it worldwide. Guzman was arrested in 1993 but bribed his way out of mexicos highest security prison. He escaped in a laundry basket. This web of tunnels linking seven homes allowed him to evade capture for more than a decade. During that time, he consolidated his drug cartel and built Popular Support providing people with money, jobs and security. When he was recaptured in 2014 thousands took to the streets to show support for a man they saw at their savior. Guzmans escape for a second time is a major setback for the mexican government, often accused of corruption by its own people. Al jazeera. A man released from prison in the u. S. Is trying to make sure others dont suffer his fate. He spent years on death row for a crime he did not commit. He now works for a forensic center. We have more. Journey of texas death row exxon re, graves is now among those who oversees the houston Forensic Science center. No physical evidence point to him, only the accusation of a Company Defendant who said he aided in the murders. That man would recant on the eve of his own execution saying graves was innocent. In 2010, after 18 years in prison graves was released. For the past five years hes advocated justice and reform across the country and this june his watchdog role became official when the mayor of houston appointed graves to this crime lab directors. Do you remember when you were told you were charged with capitol murder. Yeah, that was a moment almost 20 some years ago. That moment has propelled me here to this moment, being part of the board to make sure that we are serving the people well. When i think about that moment, i smile because im here today. Tonight we take a deeper look at the prosecutor who lied to get graves convicted and at the lessons the Justice System has learned. Heidi zhou castro, al jazeera houston. You can see heidis full report tonight at 8 00 eastern. A federal Appeals Court is considering whether to lift an injunction that stopped president obamas plan to halt some deportations. In one small town in georgia the Migrant Community is worried they could be sent home. Robert ray has their story. Jaime came to the u. S. With his parents from mexico when he was six months old. I learned both cultures. With a latino activist is georgia is not a u. S. System, though he holds a work permit and Social Security card, qualifying for president obamas executive action. People say the illegals are bad for america but the city of dalton benefited from immigrants from all over, especially from mexico. Immigration has changed the face of dalton, georgia. Its a small town in the north georgia mountains. In the 1990s thousands of people from mexico and central mexico flocked here to work in the carpet mills. There are nearly 15 latinos holding the population. I think theres a chance the carpet industry could have moved out of the country years ago if they didnt get the labor force in here that they got. Republican mayor dennis mock and jaime are working together in dalton to help bridge cultural gaps in their community of 30,000 people. Weve got over 90 nationalities represented in this community, and weve worked with all of them. We continue to work with all of them and its our obligation and opportunity to simulate them into our culture and their culture into ours and thats the direction we need to head. The mayor said his town is in limbo, as the back and forth continues over federal action on immigration. I know there are a lot of immigrants that would probably be more active in the community if they knew a clear direction and new exactly what theyre rights were. There was little work in mexico. It took this woman 16 years to receive a resident card. She now counsels undocumented immigrants in dalton where daily life can be a struggle. Many people come for the same reasons, they want to provide a better life for their children or for their families and now they are escaping narco traffic and kidnappings be and all that is happening in mexico and central america. She has seen families ripped apart by deportation and said there is a need for more latino leader ship in local government here. We have a lot of people that we have served in the organization and we have even host of children that live without any parents. Just one week, about 11 children were without any parents. We have seen this. Ironically, dalton and its significant immigration population are in one of the 26 states that are suing president obama, hoping to block his executive order that would allow nearly 5 million undocumented immigrants in the u. S. A reprieve from deportation. I know a lot of people who are just waiting by the t. V. Or radio about anything that could come out. Whatever happens, i believe this should have been avoided. I blame the republicans and both the democrats i blame president obama when he had power to pass Immigration Reform and he didnt. I blame the republicans because they are doing a lot of anti immigrant talks and rhetoric. While towns like this continue to wait for the politicians and courts, the undocumented immigrants here who drive the carpet industry worry that every time they step out the door, they could be taken from their families and deported. You cant say that were a problem. We want to be part of the solution, and i want those critics to come to dalton and see what weve done for the community that weve built. Robert ray, Al Jazeera Dalton georgia. Weve heard a lot about shark attacks in the atlantic ocean. Swimmers have been bitten offshore in florida, North Carolina and South Carolina. Lets bring in Nicole Mitchell now for todays Environmental Impact report. Nicole, it may be an obvious question, should swimmers be concerned about going in the ocean and those places . You want to be aware of it. Probably not as concerned as people have become, because its such big news. Numbers have gone up this season on the east coast down on the west coast both environmental ties. In North Carolina, for example drier conditions mean more is a linty, bringing the sharks closer warmer water temperatures, some impact by Climate Change means sharks will go farther to the north. Already seven attacks since june 11, that means all of last year. In the United States in general most of our attacks actually happens in florida about 3050 unprovoked a year. If youre provoking a shark just quit that. Other parts of the country the numbers have gone down. At least in terms of the percentage of the population. Since the 1950s, even though we have hundreds of thousands more people in the water compared to the population, a 90 decrease and thats because of conservation efforts. They have more other food now. Elephant sharks, seals and see loy i dont knows well, heres other chances of different things. The risk of being attacked by a shark, one in almost 4 million bigger chance of having Heart Disease, car accident, Lightning Strike or fireworks accident, so it is a relatively low chance out there. Who is most likely to be attacked . 92 are men so whatever you guys are doing out there in the water, you might want to tone that down. Some other tips, if you want to stay safe, dont go swimming after dark, dont swim in some of theyre feeding areas those are all kind of common sense things but good tomorrow before you go in the water. The chance is very low. Its just a little creepy. Thank you for that reassuring news nicole. They can also try a swimming pool. [ laughter ] on the tech beat, the debate over genetically modified foods has led to protests and anger. Companies behind them say they are safe. As techno tells us, many may soon be on the market. Not all g. M. Foods come from big ago. Universities have been developing them. It hasnt been easy. Genetically modified food, inspiring controversy and fear. One scientist is fighting back, trying to debunk one myth at a time, even if it means getting hate male on a regular basis. I should have punched you in the blank face when i had the chance. If i come to florida, i will make you and your family drink round up. Stay the [bleep] out of florida. I hope you and your family get brain cancer so you can see what its like. Where is that anger coming from . I think its to intimidate. If most scientists get this, they are unlikely to rein gauge in the public. He is head of the sciences in florida, where researchers figure out new ways of growing fruits and vegetables. One of our big interest was using a g. M. O. Type strategy to fortify a strawberry against disease. Plants have innate systems that defend them against pathogens. All plants have a gene called npr1. It is part of the immune system and expressed when a plant encounters a pathogen. In his strawberries, this jean is turned on, allowing the plant to have a greater resistance to disease. Strawberries arent the only example. Scientist inserted a pepper gene into tomatoes to make them resistant to because at her yell disease. Do you think that if this were to go to market that regular consumers would be more comfortable with the idea of a g. M. O. Tomato . Its a natural gene, its safe. A natural plant defense gene might come across more palatable. You can see more of this. Generation of foods included the new f. D. A. Approved apple coming up today. Astronomers are eagerly awaiting tomorrows fly by of pluto, the new horizon spacecraft has sent back new photos of the dwarf planet. More are expected when the probe gets closer. It took nine and a half years to get to pluto. From role model to racist. A new look at Atticus Finch from to kill a mocking bird, but he is portrayed in a much darker light in a sequel. My name is imran garda. Welcome to al jazeera america. It is 8 50 eastern time, taking a look at global headlines. The unit Arab Emirates executed an american for killing an american kindergarten teacher. She followed the woman into the bathroom of an abu dhabi mall then stabbed her to death. Police say the woman was not targeting americans but simply looking to kill foreigners. 13 dead at an Apartment Fire that started on the ground floor of a seven Story Building in china. Most died of smoke inhalation. Evacuating western mexico during an erupting volcano. The volcano of fire has been spewing ash and cinder since thursday. The eruptions have gotten more intense each day closing airports. Malala yousafzai turned 18 years old this weekend and instead of accepting gifts she gave back by opening a school for syrian refugee girls. She called on leaders to change their strategies. Today on my first day as an adult, on behalf of the worlds children, i demand our leaders we must invest in books instead of bullets. Books, not bullets will pave the path to our peace and prosperity. She became a symbol of defiance after she was shot in afghanistan by the taliban. Shes made education for young women her lifes work. The video game world today is mourning the death of nintendos long time president. He led the Video Game Company since 2000. The 55yearold started out as a programmer in the 1980s. He was responsible for the companys rebirth including the launch of wii. He died saturday from a bio duct tumor. On the culture beat, anticipation is soaring for the release of harper lee sequel to the american classic to kill a mockingbird. It goes on sale tomorrow. The novel is not just another look at the beloved characters. This is a whole new and controversial take on the main character, Atticus Finch. He is not portrayed as a crusader for racial justice. The defendant is not guilty. Americans are used to seeing Atticus Finch as a hero, a lawyer who fights racism, defending a black man accused of rape in the american classic to kill a mockingbird. His word against two white people. Harper lees new novel shows finch in a different light. The story describes how finchs daughter returns home and grapples with her fathers racial views. In one passage he asks do you want negroes by the car load in our churches and theaters, in our world. One view describes him as a racist another as a segregationist. It may be a shock to mockingbird fans but readers say it could be a more realistic portrayal. I dont see anything wrong with making a character more human. Nobodys perfect. Even if this character Atticus Finch did have leanings toward the other side, if you will, i would argue that we have seen an evolution. Maybe it shows that she is not here to write a perfect story. The publisher i should be a statement on finchs portrayal in the new novel. The question of atticuss racism it one of the most important and critical elements in this novel and should be considered in the context of the books broader moral themes. Even though it is being published now, it was actually written before to kill a mockingbird and set about 20 years later. Go set a watch mans release comes when america is still grappling with racial tensions, like the recent shooting in South Carolina and the flag debate. We have to address these differences or at least be able to live with each other. It is a social problem, it is obviously a family problem for the finches. I think it is an extremely contemporary problem. Lee said i am humbled and amazed that this will now be published after all these years. She said when she first submitted it in 1957, her he had door urged her to tell the story from finchs daughters childhood years. Thats how to kill a mockingbird came about. Book critic has read the book and said it does not begin to compare to the classic to kill a mockingbird. It reads like a messy draft of something. Again, the official word is that this was a first draft of to kill a mockingbird but it reads much more like a failed seek quell to to kill a macing bird. It can be useful in terms of discussion about how people who are essentially good can have very distorted very bad ideas about race. Atticus spouts a lot of theories that sound straight out of a you jenics test book. Scout discovers that hes been reading a book called the black playing and accuses him of being no better than hitler. Its the extremity of his views about race that are really disturbing in this book. Go set a washman has set a record on amazon, the most preordered book of all time.
