Pentagon with the prospects of avoiding war. We begin with ed henry and interesting comments from the president about terrorism. Good evening. The president dismissed Terror Threats as largely being media hype saying if it bleeds it leads. At a News Conference with german chancellor Angela Merkel dominated by threats around the world president obama barely mentioned Islamic State terrorists. With regard to isil germany and the United States remain united in the determination to destroy this barbaric organization. Reporter the president is down playing the threat declaring it a vox.

Waters. 10 u. S. Sailors are being held on an aland mass in the middle of the persian gulf. Secretary of state john kerry was informed early today by the Iranian Foreign minister that the sailors safety and wellbeing was assured and this would be allow to do continue their journey, quote, promptly. Its early in the morning there. Its probably unlikely they will be released in the next iqitu er details about the the release. If it happens, there was a similar apprehension in 2007 when iran captured 15 Royal Navy Sailors near iraq and held them for 13 days.
