Im Walter Isaacson, and im Walter Isaacson and im with the Aspen Institute here and its our pleasure at the institute to be the host and the facilitator of the franklin project. The project began when general Stan Mcchrystal was out talking about the importance of National Service two or three years ago in aspen, and everybody related to it, and one of the things we try to do here at the institute is turn thought into action, so we said, well, if this is important, lets try to create a program around it. General mcchrystal agreed to chair it. He also thought to himself, im never going to raise another idea in aspen again. You get enlisted if not drafted to do something, but i think he was able to convey to us that this works on so many levels. I mean, this is an important thing that every kid in america could have the rite of passage that previous generations had. Secondly, the notion that theres an expectation and an opportunity to be able to engage in National Service. I think both a
Phil tonight, we are learning more about the suspects, who they were. Heather but the question remains why they did what they did. Newscenter 5 s john atwater has new information, john . John investigators are looking at key questions including what could ve prompted them to plan this vicious attack. They intended to kill even more with three pipe bombs attached to a Remote Control car that never detonated. You look at the planning, the armaments. There was a mission here. We know that. We do not know why. He was a john he was a 28yearold who had worked in he abruptly left a workplace holiday gathering, returning with his when he sevenyearold wife. Inside his home, police found 12 more pipe bombs and thousands of bullets. No one puts together that kind of elaborate scheme or plan to come back and do that. There was planning that went into this. John 21 people are recovering. Many with critical injuries. Kevin is one of the lucky ones. John president obama says pinning down a precise mo

Im reporting from south africa where poachers are killing hundreds of rhino every year, so many they are moving them to safe zones. Theres a glimmer of optimism in vienna that talks over Irans Nuclear program are making progress. Irans foreign minister has apparently canceled plans to return to tehran so that he can continue with negotiations. There is still a long way to go. The deadline for a deal is monday, also ive currently insist be it wont be extended. The u. S. Wants limits on how much enriched uranium iran can use. Its always denied it is enriching enough to make weapons. If talks break down, there could be further isolation with sanctions. We joined now from vienna. Talk of leaving, talk of staying, how do you think we stand at the moment . Well, nick, if there was talk earlier in the afternoon of a stall, a deadlock in these negotiations, it does now appear to be some momentum at least with that news from the Iranian State news agency, as you mentioned there.

Some of them have gotten better. We have withdrawn from afghanistan. We can turn off the lights in north korea whenever we want to. Im going to go with russia, because its economy is really. And a volatile, unpredictable dictator under a lot of pressure. That is a reasonable assertion. I think there is an equally good case to be made for the threat of isis, which is a huge cancer in the middle east. It is not a group whose capabilities we do not understand. There are a lot of people concerned about some of the brutality we have seen from the group will suddenly make its way overseas, possibly to the united states. There is still no way to control the power that they have on social media. When you can be had an american journalist and sees time on Cable Television and really frighten people, we see the toll that can tak
