President obama stressed his belief in both the need for tougher gun controls and the political odds against it in congress now. Correspondent doug mcelway is at the white house tonight. Reporter president obama found himself in an all too familiar role today, just as he did after the slaughter in aurora colorado in newtown, connecticut, at a sikh temple in milwaukee, wisconsin. He addressed a wounded nation after another unspeakable mass shooting. This one struck an especially sensitive nerve for the first africanamerican president. The Emanuel Ame Church is an epicenter of South Carolinas civil rights movement. It lies in the city where the first shots were fired in americas civil war. This is a church that was burned to the ground because its worshippers worked to end slavery. Reporter president obama has been criticized before for comments that appear to nudge the scales of justice in racially charged incidents. If i had a son hed look like travon. Reporter today he said he was necessarily constrained from talking about the details of the case. But i dont need to be constrained about the emotions that tragedies like this raise. Reporter he indicated we feel heartache and sadness but also anger. And he stepped into divisive waters again. Someone who wanted to inflict harm had no trouble getting their hands on a gun. At some point we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of Mass Violence does not happen in other advanced countries. Reporter when the president sought new controls on guns after the Sandy Hook School Massacre Congress sent it down to defeat a bipartisan compromise to expand background checks and ban socalled assault weapons and high capacity magazines failed to get 60 senate votes. There was a backlash too, as background checks for firearms surged to a record 2. 87 million in the month of the sandy hook shooting, the largest on record. It sent a loud signal in the 2014 midterm elections that gun control was a toxic issue for democrats in all but the most secure districts. To politicize this by beginning to call on gun control, we already know that gun control is not going to stop the violence. Only a change of heart is going to do that. Reporter the Charleston Shooting also occurs amidst a crisis in some large American Cities including baltimore and new york escalating murder rates as police pull back in the face of unrelenting criticism over aggressive policing. In the already tense atmosphere of americas inner city neighborhoods, this apparent hate crime may prove to be a true test of peace and calm in the hot summer months ahead. Chris . More on all this with a panel, doug thank you. Pope francis has put himself at the center of the debate over Climate Change. The pope has come down firmly on the side of those who believe man is causing a dangerous warming of the planet. Religion correspondent lauren green has more. Reporter at a packed press conference in rome the vatican unveiling the popes wildly anticipated and controversial encyclical on the environment. On the care of our common home has a Little Something for everyone to either embrace or shun. The popes teaching letter on the environment intertwines god, care for the earth and the poor. He also sides with environmental advocates that Global Warming is real that humans are responsible, and action is needed immediately. He writes humanity is called to recognize the need for changes of lifestyle, production and consumption, in order to combat this warming or at least the human causes which produce or aggravate it. While Climate Action advocates have rallied around the pope over his call to safeguard the earth, liberals may balk at or intentionally overlook paragraph 120 where francis connects creation care to defending the unborn. The pope writes since everything is interrelated concern for the protection of nature is also income patible with the justification of abortion. Manhattan Institute Fellow says many will ignore those names . Order to use the popes authority to advance their political cause. Its a very selective use of the popes authority, certainly. I think it is much more of a gotcha game trying to put people who are more religious and might also be skeptical of Climate Policy in a difficult position. Reporter the encyclical links environmental problems to human sin. There is a social dimension in ecology which the encyclical brings out with clarity. The ecological crisis goes hand in hand with the spread of social injustice. Reporter reaction has already come on the campaign trail. Gop hopeful Rick Santorum criticizing the pontiff for wandering into the realm of science, while jeb bushs quip hinted that the pope is not an authority on Climate Change. I dont get Economic Policy from my bishops or my cardinals or from my pope. Religion ought to be about making us better as people and less about things that end up getting into the political realm. Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders welcomed the popes message with a statement Pope Franciss powerful message on Climate Change should change the debate around the world. Denying the science related to Climate Change is no longer acceptable. The popes encyclical is seen as a prelude to his u. S. Visit in september to influence debates in congress and the United Nations on the issue of the environment. Chris . More on this with the panel. Lauren thanks.

Chief Congressional Correspondent mike emanuel is on capitol hill tonight. Good evening, mike. Reporter chris, good evening. The house vote was 218208. Ways and means chairman paul ryan reminded house lawmakers this is trade promotion authority, not a new trade deal. Tpa is a process. Its not an agreement. Its a process that gives us the best shot at getting a good trade agreement. Its a process dating back decades that congress has used to insert itself into trade negotiations in order to provide more accountability and more transparency to the administration, to the president. The issue exposed a fracture on the democrats side. Last friday president obama appealed to House Democrats to support his trade agenda. The president walked with leader nancy pelosi and then hours later she spoke out against the package on the floor and voted against it. Today pelosi said it isnt personal. You have a disagreement. If you never had a relationship that might be problematic as you go forward. But we have a deep relationship of trust with the president. Reporter Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell and Speaker John Boehner say theyre committed to ensuring both tpa and trade adjustment assistance get votes in both the house and senate. Boehner reiterated support today for getting it done. Reporter boehner said he was confident that the house and senate would both take up both measures and pass them.

Because my message is consistent. I dont change my message because im in front of any particular group. Reporter naleo executive director Arturo Vargas says republicans missed an opportunity because his representatives are on the front lines of americas issues. Were not a single issue constituency. We care about many things. Immigration reform certainly very important. But so is the economy. So is public safety. So is education. Reporter polling Data Confirms immigration is not the top issue in a poll taken just before the midterms last year latino voters ranked education, the economy and health care as more important. Regardless of the issues most republicans have had diffey in attracting latino support. That isnt to say the votes cant be found. I think latinos can play marginal roles in republican primaries and Republican Leaders have focused on the entrepreneurialism of latino communities, have focused on their strong religious beliefs. Reporter but the hold up is always going to be solving immigration. The challenge for the republicans in the primaries is not to alienate latinos rather than to win latinos over. Reporter Maryland Democratic house delegate and candidate for the u. S. Congress anisol guiterrez is the problem is registered latinos often dont show up at the polls. So we dont even reach out to newly registered new citizens young people who are turning 18.
