A heated race for New Hampshires senate seat, and much more. Woodruff now to a major upset in south america. Yesterday, voters in colombia rejected a peace deal between their government and the largest rebel group, known as the farc. It was hoped the deal would put an end to 50plus years of conflict thats left hundreds of thousands of people dead. William brangham has the latest. Brangham sundays stunning outcome in colombia touched off celebrations in parts of bogota. Voters narrowly rejected a peace accord with the revolutionary armed forces of colombia, or farc, this, despite predictions it would win easily. translated weve all been victims of the farc and this victory is calling to the government to renegotiate the agreements, not to hand over the country to the farc. Its very emotional. This is what colombia wants. Brangham but yes voters complained opponents of the peace deal were misguided. translated 50 of the people who went out to vote allowed themselves to be convinced by a message of hate, a message of revenge, a message of keeping us in the past. Brangham the government and the leftist rebels signed the peace pact one week ago after four years of negotiations. It would formally end a conflict thats claimed at least 220,000 lives since the 1960s, and displaced millions more, but it still needed ratification. After sundays rejection, president Juan Manuel Santos and the top farc commander appealed for calm. translated i call on those who decided to or not to support the agreement to end the conflict with the farc. Now we are all together going to decide between the path that we should take so that peace is possible. I will not give up. translated the farc maintains its willingness for peace and reiterates its position to use only words as weapons to work towards the future. Who dream of peace, you can count on us. Peace will win out. Brangham even former president alvaro uribe, a leader of the no campaign, warned against reprisals. translated we all want peace. Nobody wants violence. We ask that the farc are protected and that all crimes including Drug Trafficking and extortion are stopped. Brangham the United States had backed the accord, and today, a white house spokesman voiced hope the good news is that all sides including the voters, i think, are still focused on trying to reach this negotiated peace, and that certainly is within the National Security interests of the United States to end this war and we are going to encourage all sides to pursue that peace. Brangham for now, a cease fire remains in effect, as negotiators ponder the way forward. To help us understand the future of this Peace Process, were joined now by someone intimately involved in securing the deal in the first place. Bernard aronson was the u. S. Special envoy for talks between the colombian government and the farc rebels. Welcome. 50 years of fighting, hundreds of thousands of people have been killed, millions of people pushed out of their homes. Why did voters reject this peace plan . Well, i think the woman who spoke about it in your introduction spoke for a lot of colombians which is they have suffered enormously, they have been victimized, theyre bitter about that, rightfully so, and they felt the f. A. R. C. Got off too easy in this peace accord. Whether thats true or not sup to debate, but many colombians felt that way and by a small majority rejected the accord. Brangham 50 to 49, almost. The argument many made was that the f. A. R. C. Were involved in Drug Trafficking, killings, kidnappings, extortion, and to them this deal felt like the f. A. R. C. Was able to walk away scotfree. Is that legitimate . It isnt true they were going to wake away scotfree. The agreement set up a system of justice, all the f. A. R. C. Members accused of war crimes, atrocities or violations of human rights had to g go before the tribunals, confess any crimes and activities, give up gains they made frit and abide by sanctions of the court, which include restrictions of liberty, though maybe not prison, and maybe work such as spending five to eight years removing land minus. But the people in colombia whose family were kidnapped or moved off their land, they felt that wasnt appropriate punishment, and thats the discussion that has to go forward between the government and the opposition. Brangham before the vote was held, the government said if the vote is no, were not coming back to the negotiating table, the f. A. R. C. Said the same thing. Where does the leave the people . You heard president santos, in fact, say, they are going to try to renegotiate. Hes trying to reach out to a broad sphek drum of colombian leadership including the no campaign which is obviously at the table now and see if they can come up with a new consensus they can discuss with the f. A. R. C. Whether they will get there or not is an open question, but this president has been rerentless in his pursuit of peace. Brangham youve worked with the f. A. R. C. Leaders intimately over the years. Do you think they will tolerate a further conversation where all of a sudden the government says i know we have a deal but now we have a new deal to work out and you guys will have to be punished more severely. Right, its not an easy sell. On the other hand, if the opposition can be tbrowght into the deal so there is a National Consensus behind it, thats good for the Peace Process and the f. A. R. C. Because with a country as divided as colombia is today, to go forward with the agreement you could have made ate political foot ball, the opposition, it could be observe stucted and torn apart. The hope is to create a National Consensus that will be enduring and unite the country. Brangham one lets say they are reunited. One of the things is the f. A. R. C. Rebels would be disarmed and some of the soldiers would be reintegrated into society. Many understanding is many are very young people. How does someone whos lived their entire life as a guerilla soldier suddenly put down arms and reintegrate into society . Colombia has a long history over the last 20 to 30 years of reintegrating and demobilizing guerilla forces. They teach the young fighters to read and write, if theyre not literate. They teach them a job skill, reunite them with their families, provide housing and a direct job opportunity. Its not 100 foolproof but they have a good track record of demobilizing guerilla forces. Brangham you are someone whos worked in the region for decades and know the players involved independently. In light of this vote, do you have any sense of hope that this will be restarted in meaningful way . Colombians on the yes and no vote want peace. They dont want war. They want a negotiated settlement. So i dont think its possible they can come together on a new consensus. Getting the f. A. R. C. To give up what they had and go to different set of agreements is not going to be easy, but they dont have other options. They dont want to go back to war and war is not an option for them, so this is an uphill fight, but getting to the peace accords was a very long and tore clues torturous process. President santos wants to do tha,and the United States obviously supports him. Brangham bernard aronson, thank you so much for being here. Thank you. Woodruff now, the first of three reports this week on the fight for iraq. 13 years after the u. S. Military invasion, the country still struggles to stand on its own as it faces profound challenges, none more dire than the threat posed by the islamic state, which controls parts of the country. Tonight, in partnership with the Pulitzer Center on crisis reporting, special correspondent Jane Ferguson and producer jon gerberg look at the coming, crucial battle to reclaim the city of mosul from isis, and to drive it from iraq once and for all. Reporter hungry and crushed together in the punishing sun, these iraqis, refugees in their own land, desperately grasp for food. They have fled, south of mosul city where fighting between Government Forces and isis has been raging for months. New offensives have isis in retreat, but with their homes, and all they know, engulfed in the battle, they have come here. Escaping from mosul just days ago, this woman says she and her family of seven were lucky to get away. Running away from isis is dangerous, and she did not want to be identified. translated there are many people who want to leave, but cannot. The ones they catch they break their legs. They use a block on the sidewalk and break their legs. If the person has already gone very far they just kill them. Reporter we are 60 miles from mosul. Just up the road, these troops are fighting the isis insurgency. Iraqi special forces have already pushed isis from many areas of the country. The battles have been tough, destroying almost everything in sight. The iraqi army has fought for months over these areas south of mosul city. Swathes of land and villages just like this, that they have been pushed out of. But even though they retook this land several months ago civilians have yet to return. Those soldiers now have their sites set north, planning to take back the city of mosul, the islamic states last remaining major urban base in iraq. At 23, mahmoud has fought and won several battles against the group. And these men are ready to take mosul. translated by god my morale is high. Praise be to god. Praise and thanks be to god we will kick isis from mosul. Reporter that confidence is a major turnaround from just two years ago. Then, isis rushed into iraq from syria and swept down these very roads, as the iraqi army collapsed and ran away. It was a humiliating shock for the countrys security forces. Isis declared their conquest a new caliphate, or muslim empire, with the capital based in raqqa syria, only 140 miles from the border. It was from mosul that the groups leader Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi first appeared in public, preaching in the citys grand mosque, demanding obedience from muslims around the world. For the past year iraqs
