Ifill at the white house, spokesman josh earnest said the president is open to suggestions, but he counseled against overreacting. I think this illustrates how important it is for us to maintain some perspective on this. Weve had other periods of setback too that have been followed by shortly by important progress. This is something that the president is mindful of. And its something that hes talking about with his National Security team just about every day, including today. Ifill back in baghdad, Prime MinisterHaider Alabadi also came under pressure. Sunni lawmakers insisted on arming sunni tribesmen immediately, to battle isis.

There has been a lot of hurt and thankfully all of that and the conflict is behind us, but the hurt isnt behind us and id like to think that todays engagement will be a symbolic but also a practical step of facing into the future. Ifill the i. R. A. Agreed to a permanent ceasefire in 2005, but splinter groups are still active. Adams now leads the irish nationalist sinn fein party.

Audacious doesnt quite describe what happened here. Complex doesnt represent the investigation that followed when thieves broke through concrete walls. Scene of the diamond trade of 19th century became the scene of the crime of the 21st. Today the police defended their work. At times we have been portrayed as if wed acted like keystone cops. But i want to reassure you that in the finest traditions of Scotland Yard, these detectives have done their utmost to bring justice for the victims of this callous crime. Reporter thats a reference to allegations that officers didnt respond to an alarm quickly enough. As a result of those searches, a significant amount of high Value Property has been recovered.

Team owner bob kraft again criticized the nfl for fining the super bowl champions 1 million and taking away two draft picks but he said he wont pursue the matter. I know that a lot of patriot fans are going to be disappointed in that decision, but i hope they trust my judgment and know that i really feel at this point in time that taking this off the agenda, this is the best thing for the new England Patriots, our fans and the nfl. Ifill the league has also suspended patriots Quarterback Tom Brady for the first games of next season. The Players Union reaffirmed today that his appeal will go forward. Still to come on the newshour takata recalls air bags for 33. 8 million vehicles worldwide. Emails, money and the Hillary Clinton controversies that dont seem to go away; protecting the relics of syrian history from looters and destroyers; a late night legend, David Letterman, prepares to end three decades on the air; and, a new book on how cherokees embraced democracy, but lost their freedoms, by n. P. R. s Steve Inskeep ifill the government announced today that takata, the japanese manufacturer of many automotive airbags, is doubling the size of its recall to nearly 34 million vehicles. The department of transportation has been pushing takata to expand the recall for months levying daily fines. The airbags can explode when deployed, spewing metal fragments into the chest and body. At least five deaths and more than 100 injuries are linked with the airbags. Anthony foxx, the secretary of transportation, spoke of the scope of the recall at a News Conference. This recall involves 11 auto manufacturers, many different parts suppliers, not just takata, and roughly double the number of vehicles built in the United States every year. Its fair to say this is probably the most complex consumer safety recall in u. S. History. Ifill for more on what the massive recall might mean for takata, for automakers and for car owners, im joined by mark rosekind, head of the national highway Traffic Safety administration. Thank you for join us. So in the end of all these months of back and forth, what did takata finally concede . Up until this point, they were denying there was a defect at all some what really is a huge step forward for safety today is them acknowledging there is a deflect in their inflator, thats for both driver as well as passengerside air force bases. Ifill when you say defect, do we know what the cause is . Thats critical because whats been going on is the search for that root cause. While we have some hint, we dont know what that is. That was part of the problem. How long do you wait . We may not have the root cause, but now we need to get a solution even if we dont fully understand the root cause at this point. Ifill is it fair to say that takatas resistance was about not being able to prove that they had done anything wrong . Well, i think thats part of what were hearing, like lets determine what the root cause is. Ive just come from the n. T. S. B. As a board member. I can tell you it takes a long time to figure these things out. In this case we dont have that time. Ifill if you dont know the cause, the problem that created this, then how do you know that any solution you put in place, any replacements that people apply for to get, how do you know theyre safe . Well the work parts. One is we have hint so we know there are some issues about chemistry and moisture and things like that. Ifill tell me what you mean by that. Some of the testing thats been done has been found in what everyone is hearing high humidity areas some moisture can get into some of their air bags. That changes the chemistry so it burns faster and hotter than it should. So when it inflates it basically explodes. It goes hotter than it should. Thats how you get things with higher pressure, basically breaking out and shredding the metal. To remind people, when this first came the light there was widespread discussion that this was only applicable in high humidity areas in the American South for instance and florida. Is that no longer the case . So thats exactly what the issue, is right, which is everybody identifies it. You think you have a sense of the root cause. Can we define it, constrain it to a particular area . The problem is we had two cases that did not occur in highhumidity areas. So that kind of throws that out. Thats been part of the problem. Multiple versions of the air bag in multiple makes and models of cars. So that confuses what were going after. Ifill so in the end you have to bet on the idea that it might happen again and thats worth taking them all out. And so to. How you originally ask that question, part of whats happened is not just identifying the defect but them signing an agreement with us that we will now be participating and directing and provide oversight to determining that the remedy works. Ifill in the past the federal government has intervened with car companies. Weve heard of multiple recalls for multiple reason whether it was air bags or ignition safety switches. It always involved the companies themselves. This time your agreement is directly with the supplier. Thats different. Thats part of what the problem was earlier is because takata was denying there was anything going on. It was the ten auto manufacturers who were using their inflators who stepped up to call. To basically recall these vehicles. So its very different now to have the supplier step up and that triggers. Their identifying a defect now triggers these manufacture theres have to come forward and identified vehicles in all makes and models where theyve used the takata inflator. Does this make takata or companies liable to consumer complaints . Thats outside our venue. Well stay focused on the safety part of this. But there is no question that coming and making an official declaration, there was a defect changes the landscape broadly. I. Driving one of these cars. What do i do now . This is one mofts important things we can do. There is a vehicle Identification Number on your car. You can look it up. Safer car. Gov. Its a web site nhtsa runs. You can look it up and see whether or not you have any recalls on your vehicle. If you see there is an air bag problem you need to call your dealer and get it fixed as soon as you can. I recall there were some problems with safercar dt governor before. You sent consumers there and they went to the wrong web site. They couldnt get answers to their questions. Has that been fixed . Yes. Its a challenge because even now as we get this information, we have to rely on the auto manufacturers to send us all the information there. And as you started with this, were talking about going from 17 to at least probably 34 million vehicles. So were talking about a huge load and were preparing the system to handle that. Ifill lets assume for a moment that everyone goes through the web site and they put in for their replacement air bags and then they get to their dealer and they say, well, theyre back ordered. We dont have them in stock what to do then . So this is exactly why we have a major concern. This is. Were calling this large and complex. Its not the numbers. The complex piece is making the supplies available as quickly as we can. So thats why in this agreement, nhtsa will have a central role in prioritizing organizing and phasing in to make sure the most high risk get them as soon as possible. So you the individual driver keep driving. Keep calling your dealer so as soon as they have that replacement you get it in your car. How do you measure who is at most risk . Again the little bit of root cause work thats been done. We know age is a problem. We know geography. We know environment and we know driver versus passenger. So there are some things we know where the highest risk would be, just want to make sure those people get it first. Mark rosekind head of the national highway Traffic Safety administration. Thank you. Thank you. Ifill now to Hillary Clintons emails. The former secretary of state and democratic president ial candidate, took questions today for the first time in months. I want those emails out. Nobody has a bigger interest in getting them released than i do. Ifill candidate clinton was campaigning in cedar falls, iowa as a federal judge in washington ordered the state department to speed up its plan to release 55,000 emails. Department, they have their i respect the state department, they have their process that they do for everybody, not just for me. But anything that they might do to expedite that process, i heartily support. Ifill the wrangling over clintons emails private and public, official and personal has continued for months. In early march, clinton revealed she used a private, non government account for official correspondence during her four years as secretary. Days later came news that shed also used a private server, separate from the state department account, since 2009, shortly before she took office as secretary of state. Clinton then announced she had turned over 30,000 workrelated emails to state, and deleted another 31,000 she deemed personal. That announcement came at a march News Conference. Since then, clinton had not addressed the issue again, or taken substantive questions from reporters, until today. I think it will show how hard we worked and what we did, for our country during the time that i was secretary of state where i worked extremely hard on behalf of our values and our interests and our security. And the emails are a part of that. So i have said publicly, im repeating it here in front of all of you today, i want them out as soon as they can get out. Ifill the state department received the emails in paper form and wanted much more time to go through them. But the judge has now ordered a quicker, rolling release. Department spokesman jeff rathke. We have a large volume of records that cover the entire span of secretary clintons time at the department. So im sure you can imagine this could cover pretty much any topic. It could cover any topic on our and so there would also be a question of if certain things were released early, you could have other records pertinent again, weve got a court order, an order that says differently, so were going to comply with it. Ifill a separate order involves 300 emails on benghazi, the fatal 2012 attack on u. S. Diplomats in libya. The state department has until next week to provide a schedule for releasing those. In the meantime, questions continueabout speaking fees the clintons have earned, 25 million just since january of 2014, and potential conflicts of interest. Still, polling suggests the lingering questions have not yet dented Hillary Clintons popularity among democrats. Ifill joining us to discuss what these questions mean for the campaign matea gold of the Washington Post and, just outside des moines, Peter Nicholas of the wall street journal. Peter nicholas, you were at that impromptu, rare News Conference that Hillary Clinton gave today in iowa. Why the delay as you understand it originally in the release of all these emails . Well, the state department has said it takes time to go through all these emails. They have 55,000 pages of documents to go through. It requires a lot of vetting. Input has to come in from other agencies. There has to be an Understanding Reached about what needs to be redacted, what might be classified or sensitive. So all this takes time. The Department Head wanted to release all this in january. The judge ordered that it be done on a rolling basis that could begin as early as july. And this cant be seen as good news for the Hillary Clinton campaign in the sense that whatever message shes trying to put out on a given day about the middle class, about raising wage, about job growth is going to be trumped to some degree by the content of these emails. Reporters are going to be scouring them. Opposition researchers other candidates. These email releases are going to be a big story every time theyre released. How did the federal c
