The jury. The deliberation process is now in its second day and six women will decide the fate of George Zimmerman. They are tasked with making the ultimate decision over whether George Zimmerman is guilty of seconddegree murder or manslaughter, or if he is to be acquitted in the shooting death of 17yearold Trayvon Martin, to which he has pled not guilty. So, while most of us anxiously await the verdict, there are others who have already decided what the end result will be. Not what the verdict, so much, but in its wake. First of all, my client will never be safe, because there are a percentage of the population who are angry, theyre upset, and they may well take it out on him. Hell never be safe. Mark furman, how on guard must they be . Well, i suppose that theyre going to prepare, as they would for anything thats gone sideways like this, i just think its kind of pathetic that a court of law cannot be in a vacuum of the legal system without the influence of the public threatening to d
Her to marry her. When he broke up with her, many were surprised. Perhaps her most of all. Good afternoon. Im jake tapper. Welcome to the lead. Well begin with the world lead. Will the members of congress who have called on the United States government to step up the fight against isis terrorists, will they put their votes where their mouths are . Its been an open question as to whether congress will authorize a campaign against isis as spelled out by president obamas strategy. Now one bill is being introduced to effectively declare war on isis, authorizing action for a year and a half against isis in both iraq and syria. As we wait to see what congress will do, secretary of state john kerry is in paris trying to get all these countries that supposedly support an operation against isis to sign on to a coalition to actually carry it out. Lets bring in jim sciutto. Jim, its not clear whos in and whos out of this socalled coalition. But lets talk about iran which says it rejected an offer
To the American People on wednesday night president obama announced a major es calation o a campaign to defeat isis, that is advancing across iraq from syria. Adding u. S. Fire power to the countrys bloody 3yearold civil war and he called on congress to expand effort to train and arm moderate Syrian Rebels which are being carried out by the cia on a much smaller scale. America will lead a Broad Coalition to roll back this terrorist threat. Our objective is clear. We will do grade and ultimatel destroy isil through a Counter Terrorism strategy. We will conduct air strikes against these terrorists. We will increase our support to forces fighting on the ground. President obama ordered 475 more troops to iraq, bringing the total number of boots on the ground to about 1600. But obama emphasized the sustained military campaign against isis would be different in the recent invasions of iraq and afghanistan which put tens of thousands of u. S. Troops on the battlefield and killed nearly 7,000
Troops on the ground. Of course, congress is still awol in all this. Out on break until midterm but a call is growing for further military authorization. House Speaker John Boehner fears Ground Forces might be inevitable. I think its going to take more than air strikes to drive them out of there. At some point somebodys boots have to be on the ground. These are barbarians. They intend to kill us. An overwhelming majority of americans agree with the speaker. More than 7 in 10 say despite obamas promises to avoid a ground assault, u. S. Troops will be used at some point. But u. S. Troops themselves, 70 of active duty troops, say the u. S. Should not send combat troops to back up iraqis in this fight. While our nations top Intelligence Officer says he overestimated the iraqi forces, our commander in chief refuses to discuss what will happen if those americantrained iraqi troops are not up to the fight. Were just getting started. Lets see how they do. I think that right now weve got a Camp

Jackson announced a series of 50 concerts in london, its to be his big comeback. Typically in newsrooms we think of summers as very slow. Theres not a lot going on. Then things begin to happen. Its one thing, then two things then three things. Tragedies in iran, attempts at revolution. Whats going on in iran is massive, mostly peaceful protests over the alleged stealing of an election. In the u. S. Capital, a political storm erupts over a Ground Breaking Climate Change bill. We have been talking about this issue for decades. And now is the time to finally act.
