because it shows the type of smart thinking military type strategy they used. they bypassed that town because they knew it would put up resistance. they swept south, then went back to deal with it and have taken control of it. this comes at the same time they're releasing horrific images they say are their fighters killing iraq's security forces. chilling images inside the country on the brink of another civil war. the radical islamist terrorist group i.s.i.s. apparently capturing dozens of iraqi soldiers dressed in civilian clothes, lining them up for execution. the bloodshed leaving no doubt about their brutality as eye sis seizes talifar, another major city in iraq, the terrorists possibly gaining control over its army base which would mean more armored vehicles, weapons and ammunition up for grabs, some of the weaponry provided by the u.s. asking his identity be concealed, cnn's arwa damon interviewing an iraqi colonel who says his unit alone left behind 20 humvees, tense sniper rifles and 20 rocket launchers when they fled. i.s.i.s. overrunning another army base just 37 miles northeast of bagdad. the terrorists edging closer than ever to the capital. >> if bagdad falls, if the central government falls, a disaster awaits us of monumental proportions. >> the u.s. partially evacuating bagdad's embassy and beefing up security. the imminent threat from the north leaves the iraqi government desperate for soldiers calling on volunteers. hundreds of civilians, young and old, marching through the streets of bagdad, now having to defend their country. with minimal resources or little control on the ground, the iraqi military uses aerial strikes to target i.s.i.s. positions in mosul, iraq's second largest city. >> now it's more dangerous than before. this one definitely would not be restricted to the boundaries of these countries, it will spill over to europe and the terrorism could spread to the world at large. >> reporter: the government claims to have killed 200 i.s.i.s. fighters, but in the videos we've seen release sod far, they show helicopters targeting buildings. you don't see any people being hit so far, chris. >> nic, i'll take it, on the ground in bagdad. let's talk about t potential u.s. response. an american aircraft carrier and two other navy ships are in the persian gulf as this crisis in iraq heats up, this as the military provides extra security for diplomatic facilities in bagdad. cnn's pentagon correspondent barbara starr is joining us. >> good morning, kate. here is where we are at the pentagon at this moment. the aircraft carrier "george h.w. bush" plus two additional ships are in the fergs gulf. dozens of marine corps personnel have moved into the embassy in bagdad to provide security even as some diplomats have been moved out to safer areas. so the carrier, the bush, what could it do if security deteriorates further? it's got three basic jobs. it could use its aircraft to conduct surveillance, to provide intelligence about where some i.s.i.s. targets are. it could begin air strikes if president obama were to order them. right now the intelligence, that crucial intelligence about where the i.s.i.s. targets exactly, precisely are on the ground is very spotty. of course, its third job could be to evacuate americans if the security situation detear states further. it could use its helicopters to ferry them out of the embassy area. >> barbara, that's a source of considerable concern, what happens to the americans there, are they supported enough, one of the pressing questions. the headline is can ice zis overtake the country? should the u.s. send troops? should we work with iran? we have a man with answers to these most important questions. retired general anthony sen any. in the years leading up to the invasion of iraq, he was in charge of all american troops in the middle east. thank you very much for joining us, general. let's leave the past in the past because we have pressing concerns in the present. but fair to say someone who is a critic of the strategy over there and now the decision to leave iraq, are we being haunted by that decision general? >> i think definitely, we're being haunted from our initial intervention there which was done in a very poor fashion and we face this situation now that we've created. >> now, i would love for you to say no, you're exaggerating it, chris. but the information we have on the ground is that i.s.i.s. can, in fact, overtake the country if things continue in this way. why are they advancing so quickly, what do you believe in terms of their numbers and capabilities? >> i think there's several reasons. one, you have a disenfranchised sunni population in the north. they may be playing on the fears and the apathy and maybe even gaining support because the maliki government wasn't as responsive to their needs. i think you can see the iraqi military didn't have the backbone or motivation despite all the effort and money we poured into training them and providing them with the equipme equipment. i think the resistance from the iraqis in the north with harden. it makes for a messy civil war in street fighting down in the cities of bag dand and further south which i think will lead to the deterioration of the entire country. >> is it fair to say, building on your last point, deterioration of the entire country. if what it takes is to beat back i.s.i.s. who are not united under nuri al maliki, even if you win against i.s.i.s., do you still lose in terms of having a stable country? >> i think whatever comes out of this, this maliki government has to change and reform. maliki himself may have to step down. something needs to follow up with a more inclusive government that reaches out certainly to the sunni population, makes them feel part of the country and able to share in the resources that are being centrally controlled in bagdad now that they feel they have no access to. >> general, let's focus on the u.s. now. the obama administration very strong. no boots, no boots, no boots on the ground. are they playing politics. do you believe the u.s. can have an impact on this situation that can be decisive without boots on the ground? >> first of all, i think it's a mistake to tell the enemy what you won't do. there was no need to say that. i do believe we ought to put special forces teams on the ground with iraqi forces, certainly with the curds and the person merg in the north and also the jordanians. they can provide ground intelligence that barbara mentioned that we're lacking. they also can control air strikes, if necessary. they can function as advisers, and if we decide we want to further equip these forces to counter i.s.i.s., then i think they're a conduit for us putting more equipment and capability on the ground. we need eyes on the ground. i think these are ideally trained units. i also think we ought to have a more robust capability to evacuate americans if necessary. i don't believe just the carrier itself. i would like to see an amphibious ready group in there. more helicopters, more marines. what we have right now in the embassy is fine for a point defense of the embassy itself, but it's not enough for an evacuation if necessary. >> that's an important point. with the specter of benghazi looming, when you hear there are 50 to 100 marines on the ground and they have a carrier, maybe two in the area, you do have legitimate concerns that if these hoards of i.s.i.s. make it through that we could be in trouble there? >> i do. and i believe it's not necessarily hoards of i.s.i.s., but if the street fighting and the suicide bombing inside bagdad gets worse, and i'm sure central command has a plan for this, but i'd like to see a more robust force capable of doing this. i would also add this can't just be america's concern. i would hope we have people at the u.n. working towards a resolution authorizing the use of force as george bush 41 did before the first gulf war. i also think we need a creative coalition of the arab countries that are our allies, particularly the gulf cooperation council in the south, if we make this a shia versus sunni, legitimize it as a religious war, it's going to spread throughout the region. we need the sunni arabs with us to make a statement this doesn't represent a religious faction supported by sunnis. >> let's follow that through in terms of what that would mean for u.s. strategy politically. you were an outspoken critic of not getting the u.n. resolution before starting this current conflict that led us to where we are. i understand the sensitivity to getting that. on the political level, do you think the u.s. should open direct talks with iran to help in this situation, to work together? >> no. first of all, don't make deals with the devil here. iran represents really the shia factions. that would legitimize the religious war that i'm sure i.s.i.s. and others would like to see. i would be more concerned about developing a coalition to support. it comes from the arab nations, jordan, the curds, turkey, saudi arabia, united arab emirates and those in the south. that's a more important coalition to put together right now. >> the iraqis, knowing the iranians are involved at all, after the years of war they had with them would be a mixed bag of reception, also. general anthony zinni, thank you for your perspective. thank you for being with us on "new day." >> thank you, chris. there are several other stories you'll want to watch as you start your new day. let's get to john berman in for michaela. >> officials blaming the al shabaab group in kenya. the red cross says 48 people were shot and hacked to death as attackers went door-to-door in a small coastal town. it happened as many residents were watching the world cup on tv. as sergeant bowe bergdahl continues to recover in a texas military hospital, the army has appointed an unnamed two star general to investigate the disappearance. it's thought he was captured after he left his post. the departure brought accusations of desertion from some soldiers who served with bergdahl. answers from the irs for losing lois lerner's e-mails. the agency notified congress friday that it couldn't recover lerner's' mails from january 2009 to april 2011 because of a computer crash. she is the central figure in flagging tea party tax exemption applications. cash registers at target store after a payment glitch led to long checkout delays across the country. customers were told the store couldn't process debit card transactions. target says the glitch was not related to any data security issues. this comes after hackers stole personal data from millions of customers. we'll have more on that later in the show. >> if it's not related to security issues, maybe if they're putting new security measures in place that the system couldn't handle. >> i.t. problems at target. >> issues versus problems versus i.t., sounds like all the same thing to me. they've got trouble. >> can't swipe my card, can't get my goods. >> customers ain't happy. >> let's get to indra petersons. >> as we go into the workweek it's ugly again. al the showers and humidity comes back. you want the weekend to be nice. right now we still have that pattern. talking high pressure in the east, low pressure in the west. let me translate that for you. we have severe weather threat. we're talking indianapolis, madison, des moines, 14 million of you looking for the heightened risk especially as we go through the afternoon. that's going to be the biggest concern. we're looking at all this humidity coming back. it felt so good. once again, here comes the humidity, here comes the low. that's the reason we'll see a lot of thunderstorms triggering as we go through the afternoon today. what are we looking at? the heaviest rain, of course. we have the severe weather. it's not to say we're dry on the east coast either. temperatures goes up, humidity goes up. you have scattered showers over the next several days. that's the big story. what you're all going to be talking about is going to be these temperatures. they're going to get ugly. 92 in d.c. today. that is the starting point. by wednesday we'll be talking 97 degrees. that's the definition of ugly, 97 and high humidity. >> quickly it has gone up. so nice over the weekend. >> almost summer. so close. >> we are in the middle of it so close. coming up on "new day." a new cnn poll showing strong support for hillary clinton on a range of issues. actually stronger than support for her former boss, president obama. is that really a surprise? is there anything in the numbers that shows she may lose? we'll break down the poll. the san antonio spurs throwing serious ice on the miami heat's championship game. we'll look at the game that gave the spurs their third nba title. ♪ we are the champions of the world ♪ ♪ (train horn) vo: wherever our trains go, the economy comes to life. norfolk southern. one line, infinite possibilities. ♪ sweet, sweet, st. thomas nice ♪ ♪ so nice, so nice ♪ st. croix full of pure vibes ♪ so nice, so nice ♪ st. john a real paradise ♪ so nice, so nice ♪ proud to be from the virgin islands ♪ ♪ and the whole place nice [ female announcer ] to experience your virgin islands nice, book one of our summer packages today.

>> absolutely. when you look at her book, you'll see it's really a partnership there. it is the case that when you're in office, you take a lot of the blame as well as the good side. right now it seems the president is taking a lot of the blame for a lot of issues. >> i think hillary clinton has benefited for being out of the hot seat for the majority of the obama administration, in a sense she was on a plane pounding the pavement but stayed out of the fray. she hasn't suffered some of the domestic political blows the president has suffered and benefit friday the being a good team player, joining the obama administration, putting a smile on and being a good soldier in the obama administration. i think that's what this is about. i think it's way too early to put to much stock in these polls. these polls are so high, any candidate would want to start out this way, but maybe not. there's only one way to go here which is down. these numbers are going to soften. >> she's only considering running. >> you've seen allison grimes doing all they can do run away from this administration. that's not me, i'm not the white house right now. hillary clinton can't do that as she considers a possible run for the white house in 2016. how does she handle that? >> i think the benefit to hillary is that she's been in public life a long time. people have a sense of her. if you look at these numbers, it's not that they're saying they don't know what her positions are. they actually think they do know. they have a good sense of where she stands, what her values are. they give her wide approval. she's not a new candidate, not a new person in public life. she's a well established person. the truth is people have a good sense of where she is and they like what they see. i'm not saying they can never go down. >> they're going to go down. >> but it's not like she's just entering public life. >> it's true. actually i think that's her largest vulnerability. she's not a washington outsider. nobody coming to the ticket who wants a fresh face in washington who is part of this throw the bums out who got eric cantor think hillary clinton is going to shake up obama care. >> she's got a glow on her from what could have been, right? there are a lot of people who have democrats. >> democrats, buyers' remorse. >> that's exactly what i'm talking about, thank you for saying it better than i can. i noted the media is giving hillary a pass right now because we're coaxing her to run. she makes the race more exciting. she's not getting hit with a lot of heavy artillery yet. you can say she's not candidate yet. that's fine. but do you feel that some of the things she's said even in this treatment she's gotten, the stuff about the money, what they had to do when they got out, separating herself from the president in convenient ways, do you think she's hurting herself by trying to be too perfect, trying to find every perfect answer? >> i don't know what the criticism of trying to have every perfect answer is, i think the truth is she's actually had a great run this last week. her book is doing really well. these are national numbers. these aren't democratic primary numbers. these are national numbers, definitely republicans, independents who are supporting her. she's not going to win the republican base, the people who threw out eric cantor aren't going to vote for hillary clinton. >> those may have been democrats, right? that's another story. >> there's an anti incumbent sentiment because she's a known figure and an insider, not an outsider. >> that's possible. on the other hand, i think as you're seeing in these numbers, there are moderates. >> another number republicans need to pay attention to, terrorism. on that question, would she do a good job? 61% said yes. obama's approval rating 49%. that speaks to or fights against what a lot of republicans think they can attack her on when you look at this question looming about her involvement or what she knew surrounding benghazi. does this show that this might not be such a problem for her, the benghazi issue when you look at this number? >> i think it's going to be difficult to say what the sticking points and the vulnerabilities of hillary clinton should be. should she declare she's a candidate? distancing herself from president obama is a necessary step. john mccain distanced himself from president bush. al gore distanced himself from bill clinton. >> but she can't do that. she's laid the groundwork in her book. she's tried to distance herself from the decisions in syria, the line in the sand, remember. she is the face of the russian reset which is going to be a huge vulnerability for her in terms of making the case in foreign policy as our relationship with russia is as bad as it's ever been, since the end of the cold war. >> you don't like it? >> on benghazi, there have been polls about whether hillary and trustworthy, she has 60%. i think this republican attack line, both on terrorism and honest and trustworthy don't work with the majority of the american people. definitely a good fund-raising strategy for the republican base, not something that's going to talk to people. in the russian reset, if you read the book, it's a great explanation of the issue because she talks about how 2011 she was the one who was really vocal, attacking putin around human rights and what he was doing to democratic activists. if you've seen him in the last week -- >> you both brought up eric cantor. what do you think the postmortem is going to show going pour ward? >> there are dueling narrative even within the republican party about the takeaway. steve cain, very conservative representative from iowa wants this to be about amnesty, wants this to be able immigration. there's another faction that just believes that eric cantor simply didn't do the fence mending and tending to the shop at home. >> he's still not looking back. in that interview with "state of the union," he's all about looking forward. >> what about the sneak attack evolving. we keep talking low turnout. it was actually 30% higher. this theory that democrats may have rallied people to vote against kantor. >> do you think it's possible? >> it's a fun theory. he didn't do basic questionnaires for conservative groups in his district. they put robo calls to 26,000 voters who support guns because he wouldn't fill out a questionnaire about why he's a gun supporter. >> i love when the people still matter. isn't it nice? >> they always do. >> all of a sudden, bites one of the biggest guys right in the hiney. >> a reminder to all of you, be sure to tune in tomorrow night as hillary clinton answers your questions in cnn's town hall moderated by our own christiane amanpour, tomorrow night at 5:00 p.m. eastern and airs again at 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on cnn. coming up on "new day," the crisis in iraq getting worse. more cities fall to i.s.i.s., the u.s. pulling staff out of the embassy in bagdad. remembering legendary deejay casey kay sum as new details emerge about the final days and the feud that bitterly divided his family. when folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america. but we're not in the business of spokespenaming names.kswagen passat is heads above the competition, the fact is, it comes standard with an engine that's been called the benchmark of its class. really, guys, i thought... it also has more rear legroom than other midsize sedans. and the volkswagen passat has a lower starting price than... much better. vo: hurry in and get 0% apr for 60 months on 2014 passat gasoline models plus a $1000 contract bonus. when la quinta.com sends sales rep steve hatfield the ready for you alert, the second his room is ready. you know what he brings?

as we all should know at this point, the san antonio spurs are nba champions again. for the heat, any illusion of being seen as a dynasty like that of the knicks in the '70s was all but dashed because this series wasn't even close. joe carter has more in this morning's bleacher report. lebron got his 31, but he is the king no more, my brother. >> what? >> well -- >> easy on lebron there. i think it was telling last night, chris after the game when chris bosh said the spurs were the best team they've ever played and lebron later agreed and a reporter agreed when it was repeated to him. it was supposed to be a competitive series, but it wasn't close. the spurs got it done quickly in five games. in each of the four games they won, they won by double digits. when you add those up, it's the largest margin of victory in the history of the nba finals. what can you say but remarkable about coach popovich. five titles in 16 years. tim duncan, the driving force behind all these titles is the first player to win a championship in three different decades. a lot of questions will remain as we head into the summer days, the future of the big three certainly up in the air. lebron, wade and bosh all can opt out of their contract this year or next year. they can either stay in miami or leave miami. obviously money is the issue there. turending this morning, martin kaymer won by eight shots on sunday in the u.s. open. the germans scored back-to-back 65s which happened to be a record low. kaymer wins on father's day. that comes on the heels of his players championship win which happened to be on mother's day. that's interesting. history is made yesterday in brazil at the world cup. it was during the france-honduras match, a fifa official used the controversial goal line technology to confirm a france goal in the 49th minute. it confirmed that the goal was, in fact, a goal. this is the first time the technology was used in an international match. the technology is similar to what's used in professional tennis, allowing you to identify whether the ball is in or out. later today, a huge game for usa men's soccer. they play ghana in their first world cup match at 6:00 p.m. eastern. today is a must-win. you can't lose to ghana. probably not going to win the group, so you have to beat ghana and hope to tie. >> even those who are not generally soccer fans should be soccer fans today. >> john berman called it i think the biggest moment in u.s. men's soccer history. >> one of the top five games, no question, in the history of u.s. soccer. >> i agree with you. >> 6:00 p.m. eastern. >> typically berman-esque spoken with complete confidence. >> what's the game? they kick the ball, right? coming up next on "new day," breaking news to bring you after the break about u.s. marines in iraq as the country descends into chaos. a live report in moments with the details. wondering what that is?

>> we learned a few moments ago an am fbi yus warship called the mesa verde with marines on board is making its way into the persian gulf. those 550 marines with helicopters are on standby, not going into iraq, but will be capable of evacuating additional americans from iraq if it were to come to that. this is all about giving the president options, but make no mistake, chris, in the last 24 hours four u.s. warships have now entered the persian gulf ready for whatever may come. kate? >> barbara, thank you very much. let's talk about this breaking news and the situation really unfolding in iraq right now with gideon rose, editor of "foreign affairs magazine." important to have you here today. let me ask you about what we just heard from barbara starr. they'll be putting 550 additional marines, they're not going to be in -- let's say in country, fwhu the gulf. what is the impact of that? >> this gives the u.s. more options. it also gives the appearance of doing something and readying ourselves for future contingencies. we don't know if this means anything or not. it's a nice bit of symbolic action that sets the stage for something else. >> at this moment, is symbolism what is needed? >> depends on who you are. if the president wants to keep various options open even if he doesn't decide to intervene, this makes it possible without committing to being involved on the ground. >> what do you think the chances are that the 550 will be moved into country? >> no one knows but i would doubt it. i think this president's entire policy in iraq has been to get out and stay out. i don't see that changing even if the crisis heats up. >> let's talk about the crisis and where it stands today. you can see in the red this is where i.s.i.s. moved from syria into iraq and now heading towards bagdad as we can see in falluj fallujah. why is this important for u.s. viewers, everyone here to understand. what is this indicating? >> these are is sunni areas. here you have the shia areas, here you have the kurdish areas. iraq has several different groups and each with a regional base. what you see are extreme sunnis essentially taking over the sunni parts of syria and iraq. but as they get closer to bagdad they start to, first of all, overextend themselves and second of all to push into the shia areas where the government forces are strong, where their population supports the government more and the government can draw on various militias. >> people are going to say syria is a mess at this moment. if this is bleeding into iraq, this isn't iraq, this is a syria problem, an iraq problem. why is this raising such an alarm for the u.s.? >> the interesting question is, first of all, the country's borders are somewhat porous, it's a large area of desert around here, it's not a neatly defined problem, syria or iraq. it's this whole area. the question becomes if this becomes a safe haven for jihadists, could they have their own little state like the taliban did in afghanistan and could that become a base not just for further destabilization, but possibly for western targets and american targets outside? >> that's one interesting point that we've heard. lindsey graham, really a hawk, senator from south carolina, he says why he believes this is important is because he believes this could be the next staging ground for the next 9/11. he also said that the united states needs to be talking, coordinating with iran to fix this problem. >> why did we deal with stalin? because he was not as bad as hitler. the iranians can provide some assets to make sure bagdad doesn't fall. we need to coordinate with iranians and the turks need to get the sunni arabs back in the gaernlgs form a new government without maliki. yes, i don't want iran to dominate iraq. that's where they're headed. >> we need to coordinate with iran. that's a big statement coming from someone like lindsey graham. what do you make of snit. >> here is where it gets interesting. iran is a shia power, allied with the government in bagdad and the shias over here. we and the iranians both are opposed to ice sis, this group that is increasingly getting ahold of the sunni areas. >> we don't have many other goals that align. >> exactly. although we're both supporting the government in bagdad. iran is supporting the government because it's a sectarian shiite government. we want them to be a national unity government. we in iran have the same enemies and to some extent the same allies but different goals for those allies. >> do you think the united states will be sitting down at the table with iran. >> it makes some sense to coordinate with iran a little bit, to reach out to them and know what they're doing and having lines of communication open. our goals are fundamentally different enough and i don't think we'll be launching -- >> this couldn't be the beginning of a coomb buy yeah relationship with iran. >> we already are in negotiations with iran. >> over their nuclear program. >> exactly. the push administration thought shias, the dominating group in iraq, the majority in iraq should get control of iraq to a certain extent. in the region the sunnis are dominant. you this interesting question in which the local conditions in iraq is not the same as the larger conditions in the middle east and the alliances get confused between national and sectarian lines. >> gideon, thank you so much. all eyes on bagdad at this moment for sure. chris over to you. coming up on "new day," remembering casey kasem from his legendary career to the ugly family feud that marked his final days. target, more problems. the cash registers take a nappy-poo. we'll tell you what went wrong this time.

answering calls from us for months. computers are down at target, longest lines i've ever seen, handing out water and popcorn. feels vaguely like a disaster area. some of the pictures are pretty obnoxious. when you think about it, if it weren't for social media, we wouldn't know about these delays. these are people being the reporters on very, very irritating long lines. >> did they get discounts? >> some stores there were discounts, free popcorn and water. some people no doubt just left their carts and went home. >> popcorn or like smart food? >> can you imagine on father's day, you ran to get something at the end of the day on father's day. it was a payment processing glitch, it was not, we are told, from target, related to the glitch. >> even just one software glitch and we're frozen in time. >> i know. >> christine, thank you. >> you're welcome. we're learning more this morning about the final days of casey cakasem. kay sem created american top 40 and hosted the trail blazing show for four decades, lied at the age of 82, a nasty feud between three of his children and his second wife. michelle turner is joining us with more. >> don't you hate to see how the end of his life played out so publicly between his older children and his wife jean. it was, though, a post on facebook and twitter from his daughter carrie that let the world know his fight had ended. >> this is casey kasem in hollywood. >> reporter: his voice made him radio royalty and a pop culture icon. >> the police with the number one song in the land last week, "every breath you take." >> for 39 years he counted down on "american top 40." >> we'll find out as we count down the 40 top hits in the usa. >> kasem was passionate about radio and music. >> hello, welcome to america's top town. >> reporter: his radio show featured little known facts about the recording artist before each song. later in 1978, kasem started his signature long distance dedications that often tugged at the listener's heart strings. >> his whole approach to life was friendly and personable and you got a sense that he cared. >> reporter: he lent his trademark voice to commercial ads and cartoon characters, including the voice of shaggy in scooby do he's been honored not only for his work in entertainment, but also for his charitable causes. in his final days, his achievements were overshadowed by family turmoil. >> he's confused. he's probably very afraid and he's not getting proper medical care. >> reporter: diagnosed with louie votity disease his children battled their stepmother, jean kasem. his daughter carrie gained temporary conservatorship. last week when doctors advised her he was close to death, she halted further life sustaining treatment including infusions of food, water and medicine, abiding by her father's wishes, something jean disputed. >> my husband is a fighter, he would have never, ever wanted this. >> reporter: long after the legal battles are settled and he's laid to rest, one thing is sure to remain. casey kasem will be remembered as legendary voice of american radio. >> my name is casey kasem, reminding you to keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars. >> that signature sign-off. his daughter carrie said on facebook sunday morning her dad was surrounded by family and friends. she said, quote, even though we know he's in a better place and no longer suffering, we are heartbroken which, of course, you can imagine. it brings up the bigger issue that a lot of families have, end-of-life issues. someone is suffering, you still want them here but don't want to see them suffering anymore. >> things need to happen far before -- >> this is a hollywood family. unfortunately we saw all of this ugliness play out. >> first of all, you want to separate, the legacy of the guy we were talking in your package about how amazing a cultural influence -- >> recorded the american top 40 every week. >> i did, every saturday. >> some cassette tape sitting around somewhere. >> after that it becomes a cautionary tale. if you don't plan for what you want to happen at the end of your life, emotion, money and just genuine decision and confusion can divide the closest of families. at the end of the day he did have an advanced health care directive that said his daughter carrie could make that decision when to end his life and withhold sustainable fluids away from him. he did have that. when you have a wife of 35 years who wants to be there and make those decisions, too, and family strife comes in, it's a tough one. >> hopefully somehow that family can try to reconcile. >> we want them to get some peace somehow. >> somehow, away from the cameras. as you start your "new day," keep an eye on iraq. the situation getting worse fast. and then whooping cough. a lot to watch so let's get to it. >> inside the country on the brink of another civil war. >> if bagdad falls, a disaster awaits us of monumental proportions. >> this poses a danger to iraq and american interests as well. sergeant bergdahl is unaware of the controversy surrounding his capture and relief. >> we owe it to bergdahl to hear his story before we jump to conclusions. >> the medical team says he's a unique case and has lots to overcome. >> family support is a critical part of the integration process. >> today is finally the day -- >> this group is ready to go. >> as the game continues to grow in our country, so do expectations. we have breaking news this morning. the u.s. sending hundreds more marines to the waters off iraq, this as the militant group i.s.i.s. continues its blitz across the country, grabbing up cities as it's getting closer and closer to bagdad. the u.s. pulling some of its staff from the embassy there. overnight i.s.i.s. seized another city and two villages. the obama administration is facing even more pressure to get involved. we have complete coverage beginning with senior international correspondent nic robertson live in bagdad. nic, what's the latest? >> reporter: the latest, chris, the "u.s.s. mess is a verde" is carrying 550 marines that have the v-22 as pre airlift capability. they will be getting close to iraq right now. of course, the situation here seems to be going from bad to worse. i.s.i.s. is still on the advance, still taking sit tooities. the city of tal afar in the north. 45 minute drive away. taking the military base there. they have released chilling video which is only going to stir up and amp up sectarian tensions here. video they claim shows the execution of iraqi security forces. they're in civilian clothes. you see in these pictures, gruesome as they are, the eye sis fighters with their black and white flags walk up to these men who are laying down on the ground, in a grave and shot at close range. cold blooded murder that here in the city will really make people very angry and at the same time concerned. the iraq gi government, the prime minister says he will take control of the country again. ministry of defense released video showing helicopters launching assaults on what they say are i.s.i.s. targets. we can see buildings being blown up but no people running from the buildings or caught up as far as we can see. the evidence at the moment is i.s.i.s. still on the advance. their target to encircle the city. >> what will stop that advance obviously the huge question lingering in iraq and here in the united states. nic robertson on the ground in bagdad, thank you so much. as iraq's crisis deepens, the u.s. is faced with an unusual prospect, dealing with iran to help end the chaos in iraq. a short time ago it might have been impossible to imagine u.s. lawmakers promoting open dialogue with iran. but this process has even some conservatives doing just that. cnn's elise labott is joining us with the latest developments out of washington. >> reporter: senator lindsey graham who in the past has called for military action from iran to prevent it from acquiring nuclear weapons now says it's time for the u.s. to talk to the iranians about iraq. they aren't sure what form it will take, but u.s. and iranian officialtion are meeting in vienna. that can be an opportunity. i think we're talking more an exchange of views than the u.s. and iran teaming up. there are pros and cons for the u.s. both have an interest in a stable iraq but the iranians have a significant influence in the country. nuri al maliki, top iranian commander in iraq this week offering advice to the government. the u.s. is concerned that being se seen to side with iran can make u.s. allies nervous and they don't want to muddy the waters with these nuclear talks. they need to tread very carefully. >> elise, thank you very much. the situation in iraq is bad, getting worse. how do we know? the u.s. is sending more people there, getting marines ready, trying to get people out of the embassy. what do we do next? to discuss, samuel sandy berger, former national security adviser to president clinton, the chair of the albright stonebridge group. thank you very much, sandy. good to have you on the show. let's take one step backwards and use it as a pivot to where we go from here. pulling out of iraq, having no u.s. troops on the ground, a mistake and a mistake not to be repeated in afghanistan. do you agree? >> don't forget maliki didn't want us in iraq. >> but is that an excuse or is it an explanation? we hear from people that we could have made a deal there. john mccain says they did have a deal in place with joe lieberman and him working it, and it could have been done but that for political reasons back here at home, playing to the polls, they pulled out. >> i think that's a bit of hind sichlt maliki would not sign an agreement. he was playing his shia base. the fact is we didn't have a force there. i think we have to look at it from where we are at this point. >> politically now, what's the right move? we'll goat the obvious things. are you on the ground or not, do we have enough people? however, the headline, dealing with iran directly, do you basically deal with the enemy when you have all the issues with them to help in this situation? is that the right move? >> i think we can deal with iran particularly in the context -- broader context of other regional players, turkey and others, but i think we have to be very clear here. iran is interests are in iraq and our interests are not the same. iran seeks to have a shia dominated iraq within its lean as part of an iranian kres set from lebanon, syria, iran, iraq. that's their objective. our objective is a stable hopefully democratic iraq. so if there's some tactical things we can do together, perhaps we can consider that. i'd rather talk to iran in the context of a neighborhood conversation rather than directly with iran. >> general zinni was very clear about it saying iran is not the kind of people to do business with. and this is a mistake fundamentally based on not wanting to take any decisive moves on the u.s.'s own behalf. >> i don't think iran is the solution here. i think we have to recognize that what's driving this at its heart has been maliki's misrule for the last three years which has created an enormous amount of sunni dissatisfaction and unhappiness. it's fed the i.s.i.s. move, and we have to -- any solution here has to be at its heart one that is political and military that makes very clear that maliki has to create a unity government, curb his own powers, professionalize the army. all that has to be done if we are going to provide any kind of substantial military assistance. otherwise for maliki's army, air force, that will not achieve anything. >> it all makes sense, especially the last part that it doesn't achieve anything. isn't it fair criticism, that you've been watching maliki for three years do nothing, create dissension and see the vacuum of his ability to rule filled with a militant group like i.s.i.s. isn't that proof enough the u.s. has to do more? >> absolutely. if we went in, we'd be both maliki's air force and iran's air force. we would be seen on the ground by the sunnis as maliki's air force, driving moderate sunnis into the hands of i.s.i.s. ironically we'd be making things easier for the iranians to forge an alliance with maliki. so it's not something we do out of context. it has to be part of a broader operation. it's a serious problem. we have to lean into this. but we can't just do it with air power by itself. >> this is very complicated. it's touf absorb certainly in one conversation. the central question is this. do you believe the obama administration has its hands around the concepts you're explaining right now. do you believe they are leaning in or are we taking too careful an approach? >> i'm not troubled that we haven't acted in first 36 hours. this is complicated. there are lots of implications here. anybody who say this is is black and white is not being straight with the american people. when you hear anybody say "here's the answer," breathe twice before you jump. this is hard stuff. nothing should be done quickly. i'm glad the president is considering his options here. i don't see i.s.i.s. moving into bagdad that easily. bagdad is 9 million people. there are 8,000 or 9,000 i.s.i.s. bagdad is shia. the shia militia have risen up. i.s.i.s. is not going to that easily fight on hostile terrain. so i don't see i.s.i.s. taking over bagdad in the next time here. i don't think we have to panic about bagdad falling and, therefore, i think we should take the time to deal with a very serious problem. but do it in a way that makes sense. we know how to get into wars easily. we found it's hard to get out of wars easily. i think the president is perfectly right to take the time to consider all of the options here. >> everybody is watching this situation for proof of leadership from the president right now. we have a little bit of a track record going now where there seems to be a minimum vacillation. we're all looking at iraq for two reasons. one, to see whether or not it falls to a basically disorganized militant group and what does it mean for what we do in afghanistan going forward. sandy, very good to get your perspective. we look forward to leaning on you and others as we go forward. thanks for being on "new day." there's other news to watch as you begin your "new day." let's get right to john berman with the big headlines. >> the al shabaab terrorist group blamed for a deadly attack that killed dozens in kenya. the red cross says 48 people were shot and hacked to death as attackers went door-to-door in a coastal town. this is the latest bloodshed in a country plagued by violence. explosions in nairobi killed ten people last month. 67 people died in last year's attack on the west gate mall. pakistan's military moving against the taliban. fighters launched air strikes along the afghan border. for years militants have used this region as a base for attacks on afghanistan. the white house has been pressuring the white house to move as the u.s. gets ready to withdraw troops from afghanistan. firefighters frantically trying to contain a wildfire threatening nearly a thousand homes in california, trying to do it before hotter, drier weather. the shirley fire, as it's called, has burned 2,000 acres and destroyed at least two structures and is now about 10% contained. this is interesting. thousands of baristas are set to get a free online education. starbucks will pay up to full tuition for any employee who works at least 20 hours a week and a accepted at arizona state university. asu offers 40 undergraduate majors and has 11,000 students in its online degree programs. starbucks and asu will announce their agreement today in new york. up next on "new day," even as bowe bergdahl continues with the long recovery from five years in captivity by the taliban, the question remains did he intentionally walk away from his post back in 2009. a two-star general has been tasked to find that answer. that's ahead. mitt romney back in the news, taking shots at

we are told that could still be a few days off. he has to be medically cleared by his doctors, his psychologist team. when he starts getting those questions, he will be advised of his rights, he will be offered counsel. right now that's not happening just yet. now the process in place. the two-star general in place to begin the investigation. kate? >> barbara, thank you so much for that. for more on this, let's bring in dr. elspeth ritchie, a retired army colonel involved in the reintegration process of prisoners of war in the past. thank you very much for coming in. appreciate the time. >> good morning. a pleasure to be here. >> thanks so much. as barbara starr was just talking, this two star general has been appointed to look into these lingering questions surrounding the disappearance and the whole situation with bowe bergdahl. when do you think, from your position of expertise, when do you think bowe bergdahl himself is going to be asked those tough questions? >> he will be evaluated, as he's already been, psychologically and medically. and when he is stable, the investigation will begin. they want to make sure he's competent to answer questions. usually there's an assessment for competency and criminal responsibility around the court-martial. however, in this case i would assume they're going to want to make sure he's competent before the investigation begins. >> how do you -- if you can say in any kind of basic way, how do you ascertain? how do you figure out his competency? what are those kind of conversations coming from the psychiatrist assigned to his case. what are those conversations like in the early stages? what are you looking for? >> basically you want to make sure he knows what's going on, that he is oriented and alert and he's not psychotic. by psychotic i mean hearing voices that aren't there or seeing things that aren't there. according to "the washington post" in other news reports, in the past he's written in his diary he was hearing voices and he's been in obvious terrible shape and terrible circumstances in captivity for five years. so you would want to make sure that he doesn't have severe post-traumatic stress disorder or a more extreme sort of psychosis where he's hearing voices. once he's through that, once he knows what's going on, then he'd start to work with his lawyer and begin the investigation. >> i found one thing interesting, when you talk about -- called the reintegration process. i've seen it described as the decompression process that he would be going through now that he's in san antonio. i saw written in one place that he is looking good physically, but then, of course, it's mentally and psychologically, how is he, where is he? that's clearly the key. part of the process is him making decisions on his own for the first time, choosing peanut butter and jelly over something else. is it something as basic as that that's part of the process right now? >> yes. he has to come back to making decisions on his own. he's been in a position for five years where he's had very limited decision making, and when he's made decisions, allegedly trying to escape a few times, he's been severely punished for those things. he has to learn to do it on his own. if you look at history, you've heard about the stockholm sin droechl where people were allied with their captors or brainwashing back in the korean war. people have stopped learning to think on their own, and they in other circumstances at least have been totally dependent on their captors. he's got to start doing this for himself. >> one part of this that is unusual from anything in the past is the controversy surrounding his situation. by all accounts he's still unaware of this controversy. when do you think he will become aware of it and what do you think the impact of that is on his recovery? take that as a separate issue any legal, anything else involving the military, but for his mental recovery. >> yes, i cannot know for sure when he's going to be told what's going on. again, it's going to depend on his mental state and where he is. but one thing i will say is it's not unique to have controversy around captivity. often the circumstances under which somebody was taken into captivity are murky, there's often suspicion about people who have been taken hostage or prisoner of war and then the question about how do they survive that long? again, there often is some getting along with your captors, otherwise you wouldn't survive. so it is a murky and clouded process. >> part of that process, also involves him speaking with, seeing his family once again. some say it's quite unusual that he hasn't done yet. dr. elspeth ritchie, thank you very much for your help this morning. >> thank you. of course. >> chris? >> let's take a break on "new day." when we come back, we'll go inside politics. remember mitt romney? he's back in the news and taking shots at hillary clinton. why would he ever do that? we'll tell you on "inside politics." and something that is worth watching, a deadly epidemic in california, whooping cough. didn't we get rid of that years ago?

do they get into the substance or just say republican politics? >> a little bit of both. they expect anything on the president does there will be some instinctual republican criticism. on the actual policy they say rightly there simply was no agreement with the iraqis to keep american forces there. you can question whether that was the outcome the white house wanted, whether they pressed hard to actually keep forces there. the reality is at the end of 2011 we needed to have an agreement with the iraqis in order to keep american forces there and the iraqi government wouldn't sign it. >> he mentioned secretary clinton before mentioning president obama, mitt romney in that criticism. he has said repeatedly, not running again, not running again. we hear criticism from the hill. what would they do that the president is not considering? are republicans saying it's time to put american combat troops back on the ground. >> there's no unanimity on that. the party is divided i.'s easier to go after the president for the failures in iraq than come up with a prescription of what to do. you see this happen time and again when the republicans criticize obamacare, for instance, and not having a plan to replace it. foreign policy is certainly an area where republicans are going to continue to hammer the president on. why? it's hillary clinton when she's telling that's her strong suit. if they can make a viability for her going forward, this spoe testimonily something they'll have to answer for as she prepares for her possible presidential campaign. >> a brand new poll this morning. look how formidable she is when it comes to the democratic race for president. '63% of democrats favor hillary clinton. 23% want more conservative. 11% say a more liberal democrat. manu, she was at 70% back in february. not a big drop. if she gets more active, more political, we see her approval rating down. it's called welcome back to politics. >> it's going to continue to come down, she'll get dragged into the fray. back in hand-to-hand combat. the reason her poll numbers have increased is during her time as secretary of state, she was not political. she was not in that warfare with republicans. it was similar to kind of in 2008 when she was a senator, kind of above the fray. but then once she got back into it with obama in the democratic primary, her numbers decreased. we'll see that again and we get closer to 2016. >> this is a tricky balance. how do you keep her in the spotlight, engaging her on substance but trying to maintain your popularity, knowing every time you get involved you might take a hit. >> still no evidence of a credible democratic challenger has emerged. here is another one. i'm going to be flippant. maybe i mean to be. do you believe in the easter bunny, do you have in santa claus? do you believe lois lerner's e-mails went poof. lois lerner is the key official at the treasury department, the irs, that the republicans want to know if she was unfairly targeting tea party groups, challenging their tax-exempt status. her e-mails from january 2009 to 2011 have, poof, disappeared. the administration saying she put them on a hard drive. that hard drive has crashed. they have recovered some of them by searching the computer for the people she sent those e-mails to. republicans are very skeptical because they want to know if outside people, people outside the government were influencing her to go after tea party groups. here is the chairman of the house ways and means committee, dave kemp. he says this, the fact i'm learning about this over a year into the investigation is completely unacceptable. you're either a conspiracy theorist or you think -- waiting a year to tell the congress makes me suspicious. >> absolute lit. nothing good about the way this has been handled. it's hard to believe in this era where you is servers and backup servers and all kinds of technology that these e-mails don't exist. if that is true and they don't exist, why wasn't that one of the first things that was told to congress so we didn't have to go through these questions and raise thi these suspicions a year in. >> i'm not sure what is with this administration and computer problems. it seems to be happening time and again. now we're going to hear for calls into an investigation, a justice department investigation, a forensics audit to make sure that whatever happened to these e-mails, was it evidence that was tampered with, to impede a congressional investigation? it's going to bring the broader administration into it. republicans are saying those e-mails exist. they may not be at the irs. they certainly should be available for congress. >> raising a lot of questions. you can be sure the administration has said this is partisan to shut it down. you can be certain now it will continue. let's move on. the vice president is going to go to central america later this week. he had a trip planned to central and south america. he's going to stop to talk to the leaders of guatemala and hon dur russ to stop the flood of children coming to the u.s. from the south. people ask is there any prospect for immigration reform. here is eric cantor saying a big bill, no, but could you do small legislation to deal with the children of undocumented workers? he thinks yes. >> i have always taken the position that i'm not for a comprehensive amnesty bill. i've always said that we ought to deal with the kids who did not break any laws and themselves came into this country in many cases unbeknownst to them. it's one i think that offers the only plausible way for ward. >> only plausible way for ward. do it in small pieces which the administration says it's open to. is there anyone who thinks they will do that before the election this year? >> it's really hard to imagine. i mean certainly a big bill off the table for this year, even these smaller pieces. as we saw in eric cantor's race, whether you want to blame it on immigration or a whole set of factors, that's been his position on immigration for quite some time. that's a position that got him into trouble. with this situation with undocumented children crossing the border, you also get politics coming into play with people saying, even if we do smaller things that send signals to people in central america, so maybe that's not a solution either. so personally i think hard to see -- >> small bills are difficult, because it invokes a suspicion from folks on the right, that if you pass a whole bill, democrats are add a lost things into conference and the bill that will emerge will be the amnesty bill that they've been railing against. if you're in the republican leadership, the question is why invoke this war within your party when you're doing well in an election year and you can take back the senate. >> we'll watch the house leadership elections this week by the end of the week. we might get a few clues on this one. julie and manu, thanks for coming up. as we close, we want to go back to the end of this week. we're recycling this funny because we think it's funny. >> during nevada's democratic primary for governor this week the option "none of the above" got more votes than any of the real candidates. they had to go with the runner up who only got 25% of the vote. that's never good when you elect your governor like he's the last guy left at the bar at 2:00 a.m. what the hell, they're playing eric clap ton, let's go. >> i like when they play eric clapton at 2:00 a.m. in the bar. >> we focused on eric cantor's defeat. it talks about the bipartisan discussed in politics when "none of the above" gets more votes than the candidates? >> absolutely. we've been talking about bipartisan disgust has existed for many election cycles at this point. >> since roughly 1787. just the names change. the parties stay the same. >> thanks, john. coming up on "new day," a whooping cough epidemic. more than 3,000 cases reported in california. two deaths. why is there all this whooping going on?

can they go further? greg lawless is editor and chief mlssoccer.com. i think this is one of the biggest games in u.s. soccer history? >> i think considering the history the u.s. has with ghana, considering all the pressure and all of the excitement around this teernlgs i would say, yeah, this is definitely one of the biggest games we've seen. >> for people who are not soccer fans, the u.s. is good. the united states has -- >> why do you say it like it's a surprise. >> a lot of people look at u.s. soccer if they're football or basketball fans, the u.s. is no good. the u.s. is probably one of the best 10, 20 best teams in the world, not the best two or three. what are the prospects in this tournament? >> at this tournament i think it's up in the hair. first we have to get though this ghana game. we need to take this game by game for the u.s. ghana is a very good team. i give it 50/50 that the u.s. gets a win. >> what did you make of the whole kur fufl of the coach saying we can't win? i've never heard that before. >> his next sentence is we need to play the game of our lives seven times. it's a weird coaching tactic. i think he's trying to tamp down expectations. i think -- >> and also not motivate your team. >> what is he saying behind closed doors? we don't really know. the problem is you're trying to get the fans behind you and you want to get everyone in your camp here. to say that, it seems like it's un-american. >> always a challenge for u.s. soccer to get more u.s. fans because the sport doesn't hold the cachet that some others do in the united states. if the united states does pull it out tonight. who are the two players we'll be talking about tomorrow? what will be the household names? >> i think clint dempsey is a tremendous player, world class striker who knows how to finish. michael bradley who is probably the most important player. toronto fc is where he's playing right now. he's the guy at the top of the midfield that will be attacking and running the attack out of the midfield. >> michael bradley is the son of the last coach of the u.s. soccer team. >> when we're talking about names, who will be household names tomorrow, one of the only household names going into this would be landon donovan. it's past the point of no return. where is he? >> right now doing tv, hanging out in l.a. i think when that happened, it all struck all of us in a strange moment of transition. change is always hard. i think it was a mistake, but ultimately the coach has made his decision. he's got the players he feels are the right ones from all indications in camp in brazil, the team is behind him and they've bought into what he's got going on. ultimately down there you just need that cohesion and unity and belief. i think they have that right now. >> was the u.s. put in a bad group? there was a little drama about that. >> terrible in it's hard? >> they play ghana, then portugal and then germany. obviously big-name teams. is there a case to be made that they got the screws put to them? >> i don't think there's a case to be made that they got the screws put to them. it's all in the pots. the u.s. got into what they call the group of death. it's not -- it doesn't sound good. you imagine the skull and cross bones. >> i don't think they got screwed. the thing is that the united states, because of where they play in north america what they do when they set up these groups is try to set teams from different continued meants into the groups. because the u.s. is so good, basically any time they go into groups it becomes the group of death because they're probably the best team in north america. they end in a group with germany, they're always in the group of death. >> every game has given us something wonderful to see but not without controversy. even in the first few games and this goal line technology. how is there even a debate over this? >> why is there controversy. >> the technology being a controversy and why they're using it? >> yes. >> because the game -- there are a lot of traditionalists in this game. >> are you one of them? >> somewhat. i think certain technologies -- i think goal line technology is a great thing. they should have brought it in years ago to make sure that that's -- it's such a black and white thing. it's either over the line or it's not. i'm not a fan of instant replay in the game. i they slows it down. it's going to take a long time -- >> if it's on the line, is it in or not in. >> that's not in. >> if it's over the line. greg lalas, thank you for coming in. i love watching this world cup. >> what is the usa cheer? >> i believe that we will win. you should hear it. it's amazing. lots of bouncing. it's an incredible experience. >> we'll hear a lot of it today. thanks, greg. >> i believe that we will win. i like it. coming up on "new day," we thought it had been beaten. it should be beaten. we shouldn't be talking about whooping cough. it's coming back with ave. vengeance. it's about how certain things seem to cycle through. there's a reason this is happening. you and your family need to know about it, to help keep your family safe.

>> absolutely. this is a disease which is potentially fatal in newborns. it's preventable where a vaccination. >> first of all, let's go back before we go forward. why is it happening? we've talked about whooping cough forever it seems like. why are we seeing this uptick. >> this is a disease that's in victorian england, that type of thing. >> that's why we booked you, you bring the accent. >> i think we do see research seems to die away and the ity - vaccines don't last as long as they used to. additionally we do have a modern phenomenon of these non-medical examinations from exemptions so parents are reluctant. >> the facts are these, you have the cycling. it's not like this is new, some kind of pandemic, but there is a big, big cut of the country that suffers from -- subject to your opinion, misinformation about vaccines. people aren't doing it, they think it's the new way toward wellness, get away from the old thinking. hasn't the science that suggested you don't need vaccines being what i'd say is these people are not monsters and they're really demonized in the press. you do have -- modern medicine is very confusing. big pharma has been cynical and lots of modern medicine doesn't work as well as you would think. i can see why people are suspicious, very confusing. but we know that vaccines work. they're not side effect free, but they don't cause side effects that people are worried about, autism being the headline one. it has been incredibly well researched and the original paper that was published by andrew wakefield that suggested that was completely debunked. >> the passion and the fear is so enormous. you barely whisper the word autism, almost as if you're scared to say it out loud. but that's what driving this for so many parents. >> i'm an md, i have a degree in public health and i have a 5-year-old son and i worry about all these things. they're confusing, if you have medical degrees. he's vaccinated and i would urge everybody to do the same. >> because it is particularly dangerous for infants. >> absolutely. absolutely. >> if you have a kid, who is playing with kids who haven't been vaccinated -- >> even if your kids are vaccinated. >> the kid is vaccinated but playmates are not. >> pertussis is the medical name for whooping cough is highly contagious. 80% of exposed people will get it. it is highly contagious. so if you are in contact with newborns, you should have the sack seen, full stop. if you're a grandparent, a sibling, you should be up to date with your vaccines. all pregnant women should be vaccinated and all health care workers should be vaccinated f you have a kid who is systema c systematic. >> it is not a lifetime vaccination, right? >> if you're a grandparent, a sibling, a close relative, spending lots of time with kids, especially with the infants, the infants we worry about, get the booster shot. >> what do you do once you get it? >> especially for an infant. >> the first six weeks of life they can't be vaccinated. you want a ring of protection of vaccinated people around the infant. once you get -- there is a first week or two where you're highly contagious and not very symptomatic. you may feel like you a cold or a cough. this is not a reason to go to the emergency room, but it is a reason to see your family physician. based on whether you've been in contact with people, what region of the country you're in, up to date with your vaccines, they may or may not treat you with antibiotics. if you have a sick child, if they got a runny nose, a bit of a cough, you'll know if it is whooping cough, full blown, you'll go to the emergency room. it is very distressing to see. if they have a runny nose and you think there has been an exposure, don't want to flood the emergency rooms, but you should go and see your family physician if you're concerned. >> and do all the common sense things, washing your hands down, get coughing into your elbow down. >> most of it is coughing and sneezing, droplet infection. >> 800 cases in just the past two weeks in california. those numbers are staggering. and that 80% infection rate is pretty startling as well. doctor, great to see you. thanks so much. >> thank you. >> all right. coming up on "new day," hundreds of marines now headed to the persian gulf as the situation gets worse in iraq. will they be forced to go in?

>> reporter: well, kate, the iraqi government is saying that they're pushing isis back. they released video that purports to show that. the reality is isis continues to make gains across the country. this morning, isis gaining more ground, moving closer to baghdad. the u.s. embassy there fortified security. more u.s. marines being brought in. some staffers being evacuated. taken into other safer iraqi cities. the imminent threat from the north leaves the iraqi government desperate for soldiers, calling on volunteers. hundreds of civilians, young and old, marching through the streets of baghdad, now having to defend their country. and in the north, isis taking the town of talafr. the terrorists gaining control over its army base, which would mean more armored vehicles and ammunition up for grabs, some provided by the u.s. asking his identity be concealed, cnn's arwa damon interviewing an iraqi colonel, who says his unit alone left behind 25 humvees, 80 other vehicles and trucks, ten sniper rifles and ten rocket launchers when they fled. >> if baghdad falls, if the central government falls, a disaster awaits us of monumental proportions. >> reporter: but now this, chilling images inside a country on the brink of another civil war. the radical islamist terrorist group apparently capturing dozens of iraqi soldiers dressed in civilian clothes, lining them up for execution. with minimal resources, or little control on the ground, the iraqi military uses ariel strikes to target isis positions in mosul, iraq's second largest city. >> now it is more dangerous than before and this will definitely not be a -- it will spill over to europe and the terrorism. >> reporter: to this, the us mesa verde has cruised into the gulf, bringing marines with their v-22 osprey vertical airlift capability. certainly that will bring an additional potential security for u.s. nationals, others in this region, in iraq at this time. isis still on the move. chris? >> nic, an important distinction there. the troops positioned to help with any evacuation needs, not necessarily a fighting force. we do know the troops are certainly headed to the region in case the situation on the ground gets to the point where americans need to be pulled out. let's get to barbara starr. you joined us earlier this morning, bringing us this information. what do we know now? >> reporter: chris, good morning. i think it is worth explaining why all of this is happening. four u.s. warships moving into the persian gulf, including now the mesa verde with 550 marines on board. all of this happening in the last 24 to 36 hours. the president, to be clear, has not decided on the air strikes, no indication at this point he's making a decision about that. why so much muscle power in the region? there are a number of americans still at the embassy. they have sent in marines and army soldiers to reinforce security there. but here's the real military challenge that looms. if the international airport in baghdad were to come under attack, were to shut down, and you could not get commercial air traffic in and out of that airport, if the other military air fields nearby were not under secure control, they have to have a backup plan. how would you get more americans out of the embassy, how would you possibly evacuate american civilians living and working in baghdad and in iraq. that is why you are seeing the helicopters on the ships move into the region to be within distance if it comes to that. clearly the george h.w. aircraft carrier also has fighter jets on board. they could do air strikes down the road if, if the president were to make a decision. they could conduct reconnaissance, surveillance. the big problem that still remains for the u.s., there is very little targeting intelligence about where isis is, where exactly they are, and how they could be be struck and make a real difference on the ground. kate? >> excellent point. barbara starr at the pentagon for us. barbara, thank you so much. let's continue to discuss with christiane amanpour, cnn's cheechief international correspondent. i think barbara lays it out really well. you have four u.s. warships moving into the region now. she talked about 550 additional marines that are going to be on board. they're positioning in the region, is this symbolic or is this getting ready for something more, do you think? >> we have to see certainly a show of force is necessary, but the real urgent thing is two parts, one, militarily to hold the isis advance. i talked to a top u.s. commander who said, and this was just last week after they had taken mosul and were headed further south, once the groups get this kind of momentum, it is incredibly difficult to push them back. very, very difficult. i'm being told by top u.s. commanders and politicians in the field, including allawi, the former prime minister of iraq, that what is possibly happening is the end of iraq as we know it. the partition of iraq, the de facto new front lines created, kurdistan in the north, this sort of east and west and north area with isis and baghdad and on south, the sort of shiite heartland. this is a very, very, very dangerous situation unfolding militarily and so there has to be a way to push them back somehow or hold the line. and then politically there has to be a way to get some kind of national unity government. allawi told me he was going back to iraq to try to get a national unity leadership for this crucial time because otherwise he told me as you've seen, because they have turned and fled, the iraqi forces don't have anything to fight for. they feel totally disenfranchised. >> do you think because of that, with that in mind, especially when you look for a political solution, and you talk about this national unity government, some are suggesting that maliki will have to step down for that to happen. do you think that is the case? >> look, i think that would be the optimum, but most people think that's not going to happen. if you can at least bring kurdish leaders in, sunni leaders in, and there are those around who could come in and could try to re-establish the political reality there in iraq, which, over the last couple of years, has simply become more and more a shiite dictatorship for want of any other way of putting this. and that is alienated practically half the country, which are the sunnis. so this is a massive problem. the other incredibly huge problem is syria, because without this swamp in syria, isis in iraq would not have been so enabled. they have been plotting and planning this for the last couple of year and commanderers tell me and politicians and leaders in the area tell me you have to do something to bolster, arm and train the moderate syrian opposition so that they can take care of this. isis made it very clear. we have been reporting over the last couple of years, they wanted caliphate, over the borders of syria and iraq. and that's what they're carving out right now. and therefore there needs to be some way to stop them, and the chaos in syria, as well as the disenfranchisement in iraq, is allowing them to germinate there. >> you talk about the unrest in syria, and then how to stop the movement of isis in iraq, now the question becomes, brilliant, usual proposition, should the u.s. sit down, coordinate, work with iran in order to help stop this movement forward? what are the pros and cons of that? >> well, clearly that's in the air, both iran and the united states have made noises about that. you know, they have worked together in afghanistan, around 9/11, and during the invasion to topple the al qaeda and the taliban. but this would potentially be, potentially, political and military cooperation. again, there are no details. but iran has no interest despite what many may think of a fractured and chaotic iraq. obviously iran backs the maliki government. obviously it is a shiite power in the region. and it backs the maliki government. but it has had nothing but chaos on its border with iraq over many, many decades, going all the way back to the iran/iraq war and doesn't want to see something like that erupt again. it has an interest in making sure that baghdad doesn't fall, keeping, you know, at least the shiite heartland whole, but also presumably keeping iraq whole. and it is going to be incredibly difficult because even if the u.s. and iran somehow manage to mke some tactical agreement over this, they are on completely opposite sides when it comes to syria. iran backs assad. iran is assad's military. it is because of iran that assad has been able to change the balance of forces on the ground in syria. russia is assad's diplomat. iran is its military commander. and nobody is helping the moderate opposition in syria. that is the only way that that balance of power is going to change. and try to drain the swamp a little bit over the border in iraq as well. >> and there the addition of, the question if there is engagement on this issue, that it would muddy the waters in terms of the ongoing negotiations over iran's nuclear program and the impact on that. so many questions obviously remaining here. many of the questions are going to hillary clinton. you have the big town hall with hillary clinton tomorrow night. she will have to answer major questions on foreign policy. if she decides to run. what do you think some of the questions she's going to need to answer? >> i think already, this is going to be a town hall, so it is people who are going to come and ask her questions and we're going to follow up and put some of the tough hard choices as her book is called to her. she's already written in her book about how she might have done things differently in syria, you remember a couple of years ago, she was still secretary of state. the entire u.s. administration's national security apparatus, chairman of the joint chiefs, defense secretary, secretary of state, cia, they all presented the president with a plan to arm and train the opposition in syria. remember, the straw man notion of putting u.s. forces or boots on the ground in syria has never been an option. that needs to be put to the side. the question is arming and training syrian opposition. and that didn't happen. the president decided to take a different route. and now what we're seeing is blowback in its ultimate form. you're seeing it absolutely in iraq, and you have people all the way to the police commissioner of new york city worrying about the syrian blowback in our heartlands as well. so if for the united states the president has articulated the fight against terrorism being the biggest national security priority still for the united states, it is happening, it is germinating in syria and in iraq right now. >> and lindsey graham on the "state of the union" yesterday, saying he believes syria and iraq could be the next staging ground for 9/11, getting just to the concerns and fears you're talking about right there. christiane, thank you so much, thanks for that. christiane is in washington. be sure to tune in tomorrow as christiane will be hosting a global town hall there with hillary clinton. she's going to be taking your questions. that's tomorrow, live 5:00 p.m. eastern and again at 9:00 p.m. eastern, right here on cnn. let's get over to john berman in for michaela with the big stories. >> officials are blaming al shabab for an attack in kenya. attackers reportedly started at the center of the town and went door to door, slashing and shooting their way through this residential area. the bloodshed follows last month's twin bombings that killed ten people in nairobi and 67 people died when militants stormed the west gate mall last year. sergeant bowe bergdahl continuing his recovery this morning after five years as a taliban prisoner. now the army is assigning a two-star general to investigate why bergdahl abruptly left his post and allegedly wandered into the afghan wilderness. the disappearance may have led to bergdahl's capture and accusations of desertion by some of his fellow soldiers. the army has not identified the general heading up that probe. close to a thousand homes are now threatened in central california by a raging fire burning near bakersfield. fire crews are racing to control this fire before hot or dry air conditions creep in later in the week. the shirley fire as it is called burned 2,000 acre and destroyed at least two structures. now 10% contained. so target insists that data security issues were not to blame for a glitch that led to long lines at many stores. customers posted these ugly pictures to social media and say they were told the system that processes debit cards went down. target so far not confirming that. but, of course, it is another major snag for the store still reeling from a hack attack that stole personal data from millions of customers. chris? >> hack attack. >> hack attack. >> they're going to lose the affectionate moniker of target. >> these pictures are ugly. >> a mess. >> lines are maddening. speaking of maddening, the miami heat, boy, they must be really crying in their corn flakes this morning. the king has been dethroned. the san antonio spurs are the definitive nba champs. they knocked off lebron james and the two-time defending champ heat in game five last night. 104-87, wasn't even that close. spurs forward kwai leonard named series mvp because he's a beast. he made defense a weapon. let's bring in the bleacher report's joe carter. joe, it was a rematch. that was big. this spurs team so, so different than last year, but in your mind, spurs better or heat worse? which was a bigger factor? >> spurs better. spurs much, much better. i love what lebron james and chris bosh said after the game. this is the best team they have ever played against. the spurs have proven, chris, that a small market team can win and win consistently. they scout well. they draft well, and they find players that fit into their system, five titles in 16 years is remarkable. they're a complete team and it is not just parker, ginobili and duncan. kwai leonard, patty mills, borris diaw, splitter, all the players got better this season. and tim duncan, number one pick back in 1997, has been the foundation of their success and in 17 seasons, duncan has been to the playoffs every single season and he's now the first player in nba history to win a title in three different decades. >> it is amazing to think about having done this five times. and for the stretch and the span between them, to still be in a situation where we can win or i can win another championship is just an amazing blessing. >> what a great father's day gift for tim duncan. as for the miami heat, you know, questions are going to be surfacing this summer, chris, what is going to happen with lebron james, chris bosh, dwyane wade, all of their contracts have options in them this summer, which means they could stay with this team or they could leave for another team. obviously the first one to go is probably going to be chris bosh. you would think dwyane wade stays. the sentimental favorite and they don't want to give up lebron james. big contract options up this summer for lebron james, dwyane wade and chris bosh. >> do you think lebron james would return to cleveland? what do you think the best move is for him? and then talk about kwai leonard, let's help people seem smart when talking about this game today. that's the name to say. i say he's the most physically dominating guy i've seen in the league, since lebron. >> it is incredible that a guy that young has been able to peak this early in his career. we talked about how in college, you know, he never scored 29 points in his college days, but suddenly in the biggest moment, biggest spotlight, he's able to put in game after game where he puts up great numbers and such a complement to ginobili, parker and duncan. we talk about how popovich has been able to put together the old men, every single year, got them in the playoffs, make a run for the title every year, but having pieces like kwai leonard to add to the three is the difference between the spurs and the miami heat right now. the miami heat's other guys, the rotation guys, aren't as good depthwise as the san antonio spurs are. >> and the question of lebron james, we'll see it playing out, my guess is he stays at miami. john berman, not so sure. joe carter not so sure. >> major pay cuts. i think in order to make that team better you got to take bosh, the big three have to take a pay cut and then they have to, you know, restructure the deal and bring in another big name. we heard names like carmelo anthony floating around. i don't know if they get that deal done. but in order to compete with the spurs and other teams like oklahoma city, they're going to have to bring in another big name. >> if there is one thing -- >> a big man. >> one thing the miami big three are known for is being very unselfish when it comes to money. i'm sure they'll work it out fairly quickly. >> i hope the next announcement is like the last one, i'll take my town to south beach. thanks, joe. coming up next on "new day," intriguing new poll pits hillary clinton against president obama. who fares better on things like keeping america safe from terrorism and what do the results tell you about clinton 2016?

maybe. maybe. it may make her history with the obama administration a problem going into 2016. will she have to distance herself from the president? is she doing that already in some none too subtle way. brianna keilar joins us now from washington. good morning. how are you? and what do you think of all of this? >> reporter: i think it is a tricky sort of line she has to walk here. but hillary clinton will have to distance herself from president obama if she wants to run are for president. his popularity has dipped. hers is still rather high and she will need to preserve that the best she can if she wants a shot at winning the white house. forget republicans, hillary clinton is walloping a big name democrat in a new poll, her former boss, president obama. in a new cnn orc poll, she tops obama in every area tested, from how she would handle the economy, to immigration, even terrorism despite criticism over her handling of the terror attack at the u.s. consulate in benghazi that killed a u.s. ambassador and three others. >> let me shake a few more hands. >> reporter: as clinton considers whether to try persuading voters to back presidents from the same party, she also must decide how much to distance herself from an increasingly unpopular commander in chief. she's already started drawing contrast on foreign policy, an area she leads the president 63% to 40%. on arming the rebels in syria -- >> i did feel quite strongly that we needed to see if it were possible to vet and train and equip moderate opposition figures. >> reporter: on ousting egyptian president hosni mubarak -- >> i had a lot of apprehension about just throwing mubarak out of office, not knowing what was going to come next, or not helping to prepare a more orderly transition. >> reporter: and lifting the trade embargo on cuba. >> i would like to change the psychology of this issue. we have been in a corner for too long. we need to get out of the corner. >> reporter: but this poll finds her topping the president even on handling health care. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> reporter: clinton's push for universal health care failed in the early 1990s. 16 years later, president obama successfully signed his own bill into law. but then -- >> that's on me. i mean, we fumbled the rollout on this health care law. >> reporter: health care.gov flopped initially. for weeks, many americans were unable to sign up for insurance, hurting obama's standing on the issue. >> here's the assertion. not only is hillary trying to make this space for herself, but she's making a lot of space on all the issues that matter. when she was a big part of the administration, who was pivotal in making a lot of these decisions as she now says that she would have made different ones on. will she be able to get away with this? what is the bite her in the butt factor on this maneuver? >> reporter: well, i think there is one and that's why you see this sort of difficult dance that she's already doing. a lot of this has to do with foreign policy, right? we know she had been more hawkish than president obama and there really is some genuine distance, but, for instance, on health care, she was pushing him in favor of that, and with her background that she had on that. i think it is a tricky line that she has to walk. but i think the bigger thing here is that it is one thing she's doing, maybe as she compartmentalizes this as she moves forward, considering a campaign and maybe ultimately launching one. but she has to have some sort of message that i think distances herself from president obama, some sort of vision for the future, and we don't know what that is at this point. and we really can't even say if she's going to be able to walk this line. >> i like that point you make there, that the distancing isn't enough. she's going to have to articulate a different vision, especially to capture the middle third. a play to the base, very well put. thank you very much, brianna. thank you. a quick remind, tune in tomorrow night as hillary clinton answers your questions in a live town hall meeting moderated by none other than cnn's christiane amanpour. that's tomorrow night, 5:00 p.m. eastern, and again at 9:00 p.m. here on cnn. kate?

>> make my circle go away. >> that winds up being so relevant. you're so fast, christine. this is isis and this is why they care. everywhere they go, they make trouble for oil. it is part of the agenda to cripple the country. the further south they go, the bigger the threat. >> if they take baghdad that is a real problem for oil markets. it is a real prb foblem for confidence. >> a real problem, period. >> absolutely. down here, you have a fairly safe system now and the oil minister from iraq has been saying over the past week, this is safe, this is secure, these oil producing areas are fine. >> they were saying this wasn't going to happen. they were saying they were going to stay here. >> let me talk about gas prices. i'll try not to go too fast. what experts are telling us, 20 cents, maybe 20 cents, see it down to your gasoline bill, because of these raising oil prices. and a lot depends on how bad it gets or whether this is the worst at this point and you can have iraqi government kind of stop the assault. >> and also, remind people something you taught me, when i first got here at cnn, that the prices for your oil this winter, they don't get set necessarily in the winter, because they get based on expectations of supply, so they're going to be set soon, right? >> yes. and one of the things about the gasoline prices is that, you know, they don't expect $4 a gallon. but you could see the highest we had all year because of this issue right now, this issue right now with gasoline prices and what is happening in iraq, a lot depends on what happens over the next few weeks. that's critical here. iraq, iraq is a major player here and the expectations were it would be a bigger player over the next few years. if that stops, it mean it is a delicate balance of oil demand around the world and will be stretched. >> will get you with gas now, maybe heating costs later. very urgent situation on both fronts. hopefully it gets under control. kate, over to you. >> thank you so much. up next on "new day," one of radio's most famous voices falls silent. a look back at casey kasem's life and the family drama surrounding his death. also ahead, he made a living flying planes for skydivers but never made the jump himself until he had to, to save his life. that story is incredible. that's ahead as well. i'm j-a-n-e and i have copd. i'm d-a-v-e and i have copd. i'm k-a-t-e and i have copd, but i don't want my breathing problems to get in the way my volunteering. that's why i asked my doctor about b-r-e-o. once-daily breo ellipta helps increase airflow from the lungs for a full 24 hours. and breo helps reduce symptom flare-ups that last several days and require oral steroids, antibiotics, or hospital stay. breo is not for asthma. breo contains a type of medicine that increases risk of death in people with asthma. it is not known if this risk is increased in copd. breo won't replace rescue inhalers for sudden copd symptoms and should not be used more than once a day. breo may increase your risk of pneumonia, thrush, osteoporosis, and some eye problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking breo. ask your doctor about b-r-e-o for copd. first prescription free at mybreo.com you need to see this. show 'em the curve. ♪ do you know what this means?

>> so, what ended up happening is of course when the last sky diver went out, i initially thought he struck the elevator to the plane, he did not. it was actually a piece of the equipment that was just a freak -- a little accident that usually never happens but a piece of the equipment actually struck my elevator, causing enough damage for me to lose almost all pitch control of my aircraft. so i initially when it happened, caused my aircraft to pitch up and i had to try to fight it to get the aircraft level. i was able to get it level and tried seeing what elevator control i had, almost none. so the only way for me to be able it descend was to pull the power and slowly start bringing it down. at that point, i started communicating to not only st. louis approach and then the airport, trying to tell them the situation i had and what i was actually going to do. the initial plan was for me to attempt a landing at the airport, but the runway there was short, only 2,000 -- 200 feet long. and there is a car show going on at the airport. >> of course there was. so, shawn, what, if you can recall, was going through your mind when you realized you're not going to be able to do an emergency landing of any kind and you're going to have to jump. >> well, at first, first came to my mind that that was a possibility. but at first, you know, i was continuing to descend to actually look to attempt a landing. now, of course, the -- there was another aircraft on the ground, so they actually flew up and then they flew beside me. and then they looked at my tail to see kind of the damage. i couldn't see the tail myself. and when they saw it, they told me that it was actually bent upwards and preventing my elevator from being able to move. so at that point, we realized that i wouldn't be able to perform the landing. of course, the owner of the aircraft was in the other aircraft and was advising me on the steps i need to take. and every time one of our pilots goes up, they have that shoot already on. so i already had it on me. and we go -- use it every time -- or have it every time. the only thing i knew is just to pull the left handle on there and it came to the point where we talked about me actually jumping out. >> this is not something you really have done before. >> no, not at all. >> your first dive, not only do you dive out of a plane that is crashing, but you jump out and see the plane crash. there are a lot of words that come to mind here, i can't say any of them on tv. what were you thinking? >> well, first, before -- once we knew that was the only course of action was for me to actually jump out, i had to position the aircraft to a less populated area. because at this time i was over the airport. i position the aircraft to go towards illinois. there was a lot of farm land there in the riverbed. so i went to position the aircraft in that direction and when i got it over some farm land, i decided that it was time for me to finally jump out. i was nervous, a little scared, but at the same time excited, but when i got off the controls, i went to sfep outep out, had m on the handle, stepped out and on to the step, holding on to the wing strut and just tumbled on out. >> just as easy as that. >> you are 21 years old. >> yes. >> how did you keep your head cool and making all of these very daunting decisions? >> well, i got a tribute to the flight training i received. i'm an aviation flight student at southern illinois university carbon dale. they have won of the best flight programs in the country. i have a lot of good instructors. we practiced different types of emergencies. >> you practiced, your plane is about to crash into a field, jump out of the plane in a parachute which you've never done before? >> well, that aspect, no. usually practicing emergencies, it is going along the lines of engine failure or fire in the middle of a flight. those kind of emergencies. so, of course, losing elevator control and jumping out of something we don't talk about at practice. you can't practice that. you can't replicate that scenario. >> now that you made your first successful jump, is it your last successful jump or do you have the skydiving -- >> actually, no. i did enjoy that part and, of course, i talked with the owner of the company that i was working for, and, of course, i want to go up on a tandem jump and do that at full altitude instead of 2,000 feet. >> is that a new hobby? >> probably. >> much safer. >> people normally start with the tandem and then move on to the more dangerous. >> amazing. >> amazing thinking under the worst of conditions and, boy, 21 years old what a life you have in front of you. enjoy it. >> yes, thank you. >> unbelievable. thanks, shawn. >> can you imagine that? >> no. >> i'll jump out now. this is the easy part. >> you sougaw the plane crash. >> i'm going to jump out of the plane this is the good news. >> all i knew was to pull the left cord. >> and the kicker, he liked it. >> he did like it. he'll do it again. not that way, though. >> exactly. coming up next on "new day," a tale of brotherly love that will start your morning off just right. the lengths one kid goes to help his brother. it is the good stuff. it's ahead.
