Thanks very much, sececilia, lets get straight to donald trump who joins us right now on the phone for his first interview since those controversial comments. Thank you for joining us, mr. Trump do you owe john mccain an apology . No not at all. If you look at cheryl at theons report last night, it was fine. She thought that the press was covering me fairly unfairly and she stated that. I republican her as a reporter. I got a stand ovation, the biggest ovation they had all weekend. It was wonderful to see. Nobody was insulted. What happened is later on the republican candidates some of whom are registering 1 theyre extremely upset and theyre extremely upset when the nevada numbers came out, too. Mr. Trump, lets go back to this issue of john mccain and youre talking about the Cheryl Atkinson you said hes war hero he was captured perhaps, hes a war hero. A short bio of john mccain, he was shot down in 1967 on his 23rd Bombing Mission over north vietnam, he fractured both legs and an arm and nearly drowned when he parachuted into a lake. His shoulder was crushed. He was beaten tortured and interrogated. The north vietnamese offered him Early Release for propaganda purposes, he refused until every man was taken. You do not think that this is a war hero captured or not. I didnt say anything differently, if you read and if you watch and take a look at what you have i said nothing differently. Im disappointed in john mccain, because the vets are fighting the vets i have been going around the campaign trial, hes done nothing to help the vets. Let me tell you this what the commander, the veterans of foreign war said about your comments for someone who never served a day in uniform to criticize the service and sacrifice of a wounded veteran is despicable. An insult to anyone who has worn the uniform. An attack on one veteran service is an attack on us all. They apparently think you were criticizing mr. Mccain in saying he was not a war hero. Maybe they dont speak to the same vets that i do speak. I speak to vets theyre having miserable times. It takes them six, seven days in a Reception Room just trying to get in to see a doctor. Theyre treat inging hoshbly. Its a scandal and john mccain has done nothing to help the veterans. I have covered veteran issues. By the way, this all started, martha when we had thousands and thousands of people in phoenix, arizona, and john by the way, devastated by illegal immigration, something that im very proud to have brought to the forefront. We have thousand of people he said theyre all crazies. Frankly, i think he owes them an apology. Let me talk about your language about him being captured. You prefer those who arent captured. What could john mccain could have done . People who fought hard and werent captured and went through a lot, they get no credit. Theyre forgotten. People that were not captured nobody talks about them. Those are heroes also. I think people do talk about those people as well. I dont think so. What did you mean by you prefer those who arent captured. I want to give them credit they dont get the credit. John mccain gets credit he was elected a senator, et cetera. In the report it said from cheryl, four times, i said he is a hero but you know People Choose selective pieces if you read what i say, if you watch what i say, youll say there was nothing wrong. But people who werent captured are also heroes martha. I want to talk about you and your deferments how many deferments did you actually get student deferments and medical defrtment. Like many other people during the war, student deferments. I had a minor medical deferment for feet for a bone spur of the foot which was minor, i then was entered into the draft, i was fortunate in a sense because i was not a believer in the vietnam war, another war that was a disaster for this country, lives and money, disgraceful with what happened with the vietnam war. But i was entered into the draft and i got a very very high draft number. That wasnt until 1969. You had many deferments before. Excuse me i was entered into the draft lottery, if i would have gotten a low number. I got a number 56 right at the very end. And they didnt get i dont believe passed even 300. I was not chosen because of the fact that i had a very high lottery number. You there seems to be pattern, mr. Trump, when youre criticized or attacked you respond with namecalling on twitter and elsewhere. Is that something you would continue doing being president . Is that language beneath the office of president . When people attack me i let them have it back. Physical appearance. Its my hair people are constantly attacking my hair. I dont see you coming to my defense. My hair is just fine. I dont see you coming to my defense. If i Say Something about somebody else people laughed when i say it. Im very disappointed. I understand john mccain. I backed his raise. He ran to president and ran against obama and let us down. Maybe thats why im leading in the polls, because people are tired of politicians and pollster telling the politician exactly what to say. Believe me this whole thing was brought up by a lot of the people that are competing against me currently that arent even rental sterg in the poll. Have you ever said anything that you regret . Yes, i have on my occasions. Can you tell us the things . No i wouldnt do that. Its not the appropriate time. Certainly i have said things that i could have held back. But not often. Surprisingly not that often. Certainly there have been some occasions. Youre not apologizing and youre certainly not pulling out of the race as some of your opponents have suggested . Of course they would love me have to do that because im leading the pack. Im certainly not pulling out. Im leading in north carolina. Nevada im way in the lead there. Interestingly in nevada i lead in hispanics by a tremendous way into the 30s. If i get the nomination if i run for president , i will win the hispanic vote because ill be able to take jobs back from china, jobs back from japan and mexico. I will win the hispanic vote. You think this will actually help you this is involving veterans . You heard what i said about those veteran groups you think this will help you in the polls . I believe i will do far more for veterans that john mccain has done for veterans. You look at whats happening in our veterans theyre being decimated. I will do far more for veterans than anyone else. I will be able to help the veterans. John mccain has failed. Take a look at the scandal at the Veterans Administration the disastrous conditions under which our veterans have to live. Believe me i built a small group a veteran memorial. Thank you very much for joining us mr. Trump. Lets bring in democratic president ial candidate, former senator, jim webb. Senator webb what is your reaction . Well you know thats a lot to react to in a quick minute or two. First of all, i believe in donald trump had taken the opportunity to serve our country, he could have volunteered like a lot of people did, he would have a different feeling the kind of things hes saying. Its one thing to talk about issues when youre talking about military service, youre talking about duty honor and dignity. The comments he made about mexican immigrants insulted a lot of our veterans. Some were inflamed with these comments. One of them wrote a letter to mr. Trump, any time you want come back and talk to us to military service. Oh you didnt go. I have known john mccain for a long time. The daily courage it takes and took when people are prisoners of war, undergoing to uncertainties of whether theyre going to come home just quickly on that you heard what mr. Trump said i said he was a war hero because he was captured was backing he off a little bit . Well what he said, theres no excuse for it you know he can talk about veteran issues we all care about veteran issues. This goes to all veterans when they hear those sort of things because youre talking about dignity of service when you say things like that. No way to take away the courage, the daily courage john mccain faced. Thank you for joining us senator webb. The roundtable weighs in on trumps future now that developing story out of tennessee, new details on that suspect in that terror attack that left five Service Members dead. Investigators are working 24 7 to find out everything they can about mohammads you Youssuf Abdulazeez abdulazeez. Now, officials want to know if the tennessee shooter had any links to isis. Heres senior justice correspondent pierre thomas. Reporter right now the phones and computers of abdulazeez are at the fbi lab in quantico virginia in an effort to find clues to his motive. He wasnt under investigation or surveillance. The fbi want to know how he was able to operate under the radar. Theyre looking at his travel. Including a sevenmonth travel to jordan. They want to find out if he was using online aliases to view violent propaganda to hide contact with overseas radicals. Is there more that we should have done . Were there signs that he was exhibiting in the community that were miss zblrd the fbi is under tremendous pressure with terrorism investigations in all 50 states. Just one week before the chattanooga terror attack the fbi director was sounding the alarm before congress. I cannot see me stopping these indefinitely. Reporter we dont know if abdulazeez has ties to isis a group he fears is an imminent threat. Because of its unprecedented social media campaign. It buzzes in their pocket there is a device almost a devil on their shoulder all day long saying kill kill kill. Reporter a daily sophisticated Multimedia Campaign using all of the advertising tricks. Primary isis focus, directives to kill u. S. Military and its working. In recent months a at least half dozen isis sympathizers. In april, an ohio man charged after he traveled to syria and was allegedly directed by isis to kill military personnel. Men like abdulazeez in their 20s, the difference is abdulazeez got through. And joining us now congressman Michael Mccaul chairman of the Homeland Security committee. Chairman mccaul can you tell us the latest they found out about abdulazeez . Well the fbi is currently doing a forensic examination on his computer his cell phone and his travels to jordan which is right across the border from syria, so we have the threat of foreign fighters also we the threat over the internet a new threat thats out there, a new generation of terrorists you heard the director talked about, these internet directives from syria to activate people in the United States to attack. They are saying is attack military installations and attack Police Officers. What we saw was one of the most deadliest attacks on u. S. Sailor. This this is the case were most worried. We have over 60 cases that we have rolled over isis followers over the last year. We have investigations into all 50 states what keeps us up at night are the ones that we dont know about. Im afraid that this case falls into that category. To that point, you had a naturalized citizen, a father who was on the terrorist watch list at one time reports of abuse, online writing, shouldnt alarm bells have sounded . Well its 20 20 hindsight. We will be examining this case i know the fbi is investigating, again, his travel the father was on a watch list was under an investigation that was closed well be looking at all those details, but, you know again, the new sort of threat thats out there over the internet thats very hard to stop we have 200,000 isis tweets per day, that hit the United States and this is one of those threats that the director talks about, getting so the chatter is so loud and the volume is so high that its a problem thats very hard to stop and disrupt in this country. Something that we have been warning about over the last year. It took place in chattanooga. Martha if it can happen in chattanooga, it can happen anywhere any time any place. You say 20 20 is hindsight. But, tamerlan had a background that should have raised alarms. One of the biggest critics of the way that was handled that particular case we saw it fall through the cracks you know this is one well be conducting oversight and examining what happened, but, again, when were stopping the fourth of july plot that was imminent to blow up military at fourth of july parades, when stopped at garland. We arrested over 60 isis over the last year more than one per week this is a very difficult counterterrorism challenge in the United States and i met with the generals that conduct the war on terror and you know what i think we need to take the fight over there a little stronger and we need to hit these guys these cyber commanders that are sending these internet directives out to attack attack. Thank you very much for joining us well be right back to look at these soft targets, military recruiting trips, cruise ships and shopping malls, are we doing enough to protect them. This week with George Stephanopoulos brought to you by hp. Push your enterprise and you can move the world. But to get from the old way to the new youll need the right it infrastructure. From a partner who knows how to make your enterprise more agile, borderless and secure. Hp helps business move on all the possibilities of today. And stay ready for everything that is still to come. What do you got to offer us today . Balance transfer thats my game bank you never heard of, thats my name haa thank you. Uh, next. Watch me make your interest rate. Disappear. Theres gotta be a better way to find the right card. Whatever kind youre searching for, creditcards. Com lets you compare hundreds of cards to find the one thats right for you. Just search, compare, and apply at creditcards. Com. A one, a two, a three percent cash back back in just a moment with a look at those soft targets, how can we protect them against attack . When you do business everywhere, the challenges of keeping everyone working together can quickly become the only thing you think about. Thats where at t can help. At t has the tools and the network you need to make working as one easier than ever. Virtually anywhere. Leaving you free to focus on what matters most. 40 of the streetlights in detroit, at one point, did not work. You had some blocks and you had major thoroughfares and corridors that were just totally pitch black. Those things had to change. We wanted to restore our lighting system in the city. You can have the greatest dreams in the world, but unless you can finance those dreams, it doesnt happen. At the time that the bankruptcy filing was done, the Public Lighting Authority had a hard time of finding a bank. Citi did not run away from the table like some other bankers did. Citi had the strength to help us go to the credit markets and raise the money. Its a brighter day in detroit. People can see better when theyre out doing their tasks, young people are moving back in town the kids are feeling safer while they walk to school. And folks are making investments and the community is moving forward. 40 of the lights were out, but theyre not out for long. Theyre coming back. A look at the growing memorial if tennessee outside the recruiting center one of the sites of that horrific shooting ram page this week, this morning, officials beefg up security at military locations worldwide. How many places are vulnerable to terror. Lets talk with brad garrett and carter hamm. Carter you of course served in iraq as well you certainly looked at the issues of forced protection there, you advised the pentagon on how to protect our Service Members, as part of your investigation into the ft. Hood massacre what do you think should happen now . I think the right thing to do now is to do a comprehensive approach there are as you mentioned, thousands of u. S. Military facilities that are imbedded in the fabric of our society around the country, and its also noteworthy very sadly the four marines and the Navy Petty Officer who were killed were on a federal installation not in the civilian sector. How the shooter was able to gain access into that facility merits further study. One of the suggestions is to arm them. I think people dont realize sometimes that on these bases people arent armed except for some security people do you think they should be armed . I think its premature. It should be looked at. Some have directed that some of the National Guard members who are in facileityies be armed. Thats not the case for federal recruiting stations and there are matters of law in history that have to get involved. There are other measures that should be taken, hardening the facility bullet proof glass and doors. The federal, state and local Abcs Cecilia Vega<\/a> on the new uproar. Reporter donald trump is at it again, unleashing his latest political firestorm on a new target this time john mccain. Hes not a war hero.

How the shooter was able to gain access into that facility merits further study. One of the suggestions is to arm them. I think people dont realize sometimes that on these bases people arent armed except for some security people do you think they should be armed . I think its premature. It should be looked at. Some have directed that some of the National Guard<\/a> members who are in facileityies be armed. Thats not the case for federal recruiting stations and there are matters of law in history that have to get involved. There are other measures that should be taken, hardening the facility bullet proof glass and doors. The federal, state and local Law Enforcement<\/a> relationship with these military entities is very, very sound, and if theres an indication of an increased threat theyre very quick to make sure these sites are aware of that threats. They can look at that closely, but it seems like almost Everything Else<\/a> is a soft target. Basically the world is a soft target except for these little pockets. You cant take a recruiting station and take it and harden it. Theyre for us to walk in and decide if we want to join the military. So, a lot of we have to face the reality that some of us are going to be vulnerable doing what we do day in and day out. Having said that quickly, do you think they should arm people at these recruiting stations . Not get in a big hurry to do that. People Walking Around<\/a> in the civilian population. Just very quickly, sum up what you think what we can do about soft targets . The only thing you can do about soft targets is to improve your intelligence in other words, the shooting in chattanooga we didnt know about, could it happen again . Yes. Were not going to lock down every facility every mall in the country. Thank you.

Part of the Global Reaction<\/a> to the landmark nuclear deal with iran, celebrations in tehran earlier this week i was there when the mowmentous deal was reached. We saw hope among the iranian people. But also serious fear and concern here at home and around the world about that agreement. A top critic israeli Prime Minister<\/a> Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a> joins us first. But first, jon karl with americas lead negotiators, john kerry and ernest moniz. It wasnt the purpose of the negotiation, its about a nuclear deal. We certainly, think it would diplomatic malpractice if we didnt keep our door open to possibilities. This deal is going before the u. S. Security counsel on monday. Bob crocker said that is an affront to american people. Why are you going to the u. N. Before youre going to the u. S. Congress with this deal . Were not. What we did was negotiate with our partners who are not subject to the congress that it cannot be implemented until after congress has had a chance to vote. But the bottom line the u. N. Is going to vote on this before congress. They have a right to it, honestly. France, russia china, germany, britain, ought to do what the Congress Tells<\/a> them to do. They have a right to have a vote. But we prevailed on them to delay the implementation of that vote out of respect of our congress. One of the most controversial provisions here n terms of these covert sites iran can delay for 24 hours before inspectors get in there. You, mr. Secretary had said any time anywhere inspectors. 24 days it was any time anywhere in the sense of a welldefined process that would have a welldefined conclusion in times. Three weeks is reasonable. Most importantly, were very confident in our ability to see ves taj of nuclear. They cant clean up and hide what theyre doing . Various analogies of throwing things down toilets, this isnt so simple with nuclear materials. Reveal the traces of nuclear work. The lifting of arms embargo, 100 billion in iranian assets. In five years theyll be able to go on the open market arms embargo lifted. The United Nations<\/a> resolution which brought about the sanctions in the first place, said that if iran will suspend its enrichment and come to negotiations all the sanctions would be lifted. Now, they have done more than come to negotiations. They have negotiated a deal. We prevailed. And insisted no they had to be. We have ample other resolutions that allow us to hold them accountable for moving any weapons. President obama is committed to doubling down on the enforcement of those measures. I think a mountain is being made out of a mole hill here. Lets bring in Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a>, hes called the deal a historic mistake. He joins us now from israel. Prime minister, youre adamantly opposed to this deal what do you do do you personally lyliy lyly Lobby Congress<\/a> . We need to make our case against the state that we believe endangers the security of the middle east and the world. I think thats important. Its a substantive disagreement. It should be examined. I know you have concerns especially about the 24 days to allow inspectors on Iranian Nuclear<\/a> sites and military sites. Yet, the u. S. Secretary of energy said the u. S. Is very confident in its ability to detect nuclear work beyond 24 days is he wrong . I have Great Respect<\/a> of our Intelligence Services<\/a> theyre the best in the world, israels the u. S. And uk. We didnt see for a long time the nuclear bunkers, we didnt see the syrian work on a Nuclear Reactor<\/a> that was almost operational when we discovered it. I have full respect for our intelligence. But its very thin ice. What would have been an ideal to you . Dismantling to dismantling. That was the original Administration Position<\/a> and i think it was the right one. In fact iran actually gets both things. It gets to keep its nuclear infrakstructure and the full dismantling of sanctions. Theyre going to come out strong because theyre getting everything they want. Theyre getting a pathway down the line within a decade or so to the capacity to be a threshold state with practically zero breakout time with Nuclear Bombs<\/a> and hundreds of billions of dollar which theyll sif phone off to their terror and war machine. Is there anything ash carter secretary of defense, that will satisfy you . Everybody talks about compensating israel. The question is if this deal is supposed to make israel and our arab nations safer, why should we be compensated with anything . I think the right thing is not to do this bad deal. Let me ask you one final question the military option is there really any bomb any military action that would delay iran building a bomb for as long as this deal does . As far as the military option i never talk about it. Mr. Prime minister thank you. Thank you. Were right back with senator jim webb and the roundtable breaks down the new donald trump firestorm. I understand how our American Military<\/a> works. I understand Foreign Policy<\/a> issues and i will assure you by the way if i were your president , i would never urnled an invasion of iraq. Senator jim webb speaking in iowa friday night. First time all five Democratic Candidates<\/a> have appeared on stage together and senator webb is back with us now. I want to go to the shooting in chattanooga, you were a marine you saw many men die, do you agree that recruiters should have i think you do agree that recruiters should have guns, they should be allowed they should have the means to defend themselves. This has dramatically changed since 9 11. Theres a basic logic here if we dont know who these shooters are going to be and we do know that one of their targets that theyre focusing on are military people in uniform, then its just logical that we should provide them the means to defend themselve if they become under any sort of attack like this. That doesnt mean you have to turn a recruiting office into a bunker. But these are in civilian areas. Thats the difference. Theyre in strip malls. Well you know we dont take firearms away from Police Officers<\/a>. You know there should be some means for these people to defend themselves. I had a long talk with the chief of staff of the army after the ft. Hood incident which was also on a military base there was not one military person in that gathering that had a firearm. I grew up in the military. Firearms were normal in these situations. By the time they called the police to get in there to help them they had 13 dead people. How do you see that playing out, one thing with the military theyre not Police Officers<\/a> so how do you see a secenario playing out like that . Like i said im not talking about turning these Different Centers<\/a> and bases into fire bases, but, at the same time they should have the ability to defend themselves in some way. And think of it the other way around how would you like to be sitting in one of these chairs familiar with weapons, waiting to see if someone is going to come in and do harm to you. You said you have a lot of concerns and were going to read it, what concerns you the most and would you vote against it in. First, i have been a proponent of these sort of approaches toward rogue regimes. I worked with vietnam in terms of normalizing relations there, i led the change in burma in terms of opening up that regime i have serious concerns here number one, even all of these processes work and i respect the people who put them together at the end of ten years, what are we going to have . Have we now given our endorsement of the fact that iran will eventually obtain Nuclear Weapons<\/a> . Secondly the process beginning now, i think is we got to be very careful in terms of how it affects the strategic balance in the region in terms of signals that we send not just in terms of whos got how many conventional weapons. I hate to say be quick on this. Its your entire campaign. How do you think your prospects look for being president and why do you want to be in president. You stayed in the senate one term. Four different periods of Public Service<\/a> in my life. I have been able to move out of Public Service<\/a> and look at things differently. One term in the senate is a term and a half of a presidency. I had five years in the pentagon. Why do you want to be president . Im very concerned about where we are going in this country and i think were going to see some dramatic changes in terms of how we approach our economic fairness issues and we really need a commander in chief who understands how to deal with these issues. Thank you very much for joining us senator webb. Ahead will donald trump keep his lead in the poll after this latest firestorm. A i believe that i will do far more for veterans than john mccain has done for many many years with all talk no action. Hes on television all the time talking, talking, nothing gets done you look at whats happening to our veterans their being decimated. Okay so,ly do far more for veterans than anybody. Lets bring in the roundtable. Bill kristol, espns lz granderson. Former michigan governor Jennifer Granholm<\/a> and abcs chief White House Correspondent<\/a> jon karl. A special welcome to lz and governor granholm. Here for the first time as abc news ccontributors. I want to start with our jon karl however, will this hurt him, is this different, is this a turning point . This is what opened the flood gates for republicans to come out and condemn dompld trump, look hes content to lead in the polls with 15 . There are two candidates that trump unequivocally helps in this race one now, the other in the future the first is jeb bush, because he becomes the vessel of the antibush anger in the party. The second is Hillary Clinton<\/a>. You heard him again, yesterday, say that he will not rule out running as thirdparty candidate. If that happens, it guarantees a Hillary Clinton<\/a> victory. Bill kristol, just yesterday, you did a brief interview with abc news called older, wiser richer donald trump would be better than Hillary Clinton<\/a>. No i dont think anymore. Actually, he was a controversial character who said some universal things who brought some people in the republican tent. Hes dead to me. Hes dead to you sf. Hes insulted every vat raneteran whos a p. O. W. Im finished with donald trump and i dont think hell stay up in the polls. Republican primary are prorespect military. Lz did his explanation do anything, change anything . Explanation . I thought it was branding sort of promotion. We know that hes not trying to be president of the United States<\/a> hes just right to stir the pot and keep his brand out there. Im amazed that hewe think this is the moment that hes gone too far. Why didnt it take the attack of john mccain for people to get so upset . Republicans start tweeting and denounceing denouncing. And governor. The democrats sit back and let this play out. Well i was going to say before yesterday that you know put up your feet and break out the popcorn, but i do think he really went too far and i agree with lz he had gone too far already and this really i think is a signal of this sort of sinister thread that runs through a lot of the far right and tea party, this feeling like those who are different are not one of us thats its frightening for the older white americans who might be following him and who are angry, who may feel threatened by this immigrants. I worry about that sinister thread. Ill be interested to see whether inning fact there is a dem in addition in his rankings, if it stays high a lot more that the Republican Party<\/a> has to fear. Lets look at the rankings. Latest abc news poll Washington Post<\/a> poll, trumps fay voshlt has doubled since may. Favorable is 33 . So, what happens going in a week from now, if we took another poll what do you think that would say. A portion of that electorate thats still angry. Looked at what happened in the room when he made the comments. One thing that he was right about, he did get a standing ovation, he was enthusiastically applauded after what he said about john mccain. Do you ever ask god for forgiveness . He couldnt come up i dont really know. I kind of leave dpod out of it. Okay bill we also scott walker officially jump into the race this week hes still doing well in the polls both in iowa and nationally what is his vulnerability . Maybe nothing . I think hes a strong governor. Hes governed successfully. I think the trump vote will go away. Jennifer wants to make this huge chunk of Republican Party<\/a> i just think its the number. Governor omalley said white lives matter black lives matter. All lives matter. Iran since i just got back from iran its particularly interesting to me. Lz tweeted, questioning senator tom cotten criticizing the deal you said about senator cotten who has been in office for six months takes on six tamas who have been working on this for six years. The way the conversation continues to happen i spent a couple of weeks in london the conversation thats happening a abroad in this deal to here its all through the lens of america. Abroad its about the width of this deal and not just domestically. Thats important as we have this conversation here. This is not whether or not president obama negotiated a bad deal, whether the six nations involved in the conversation found this deal to be advantageous against the current status quo. Part of the conversation is how congress feels about it. Congress isnt the leader of im sorry. Thats right. Congress just gets brushed aside on whether america goes along right, for america. Right we need to have a conversation who else is impacted by this and what are their thoughts on this as well. So, lets quickly move to the hill very quickly, governor you think what happens on the hill. I think people should take a look at Hillary Clinton<\/a>s statement on this its the end of the story. Its the first step. Lot of arrows in the diplomatic quiver to constrain irans bad behavior in other areas, this is one thing, the goal was reduce irans ability to get the bomb. They have done it. Jon, im going to give you ten seconds the white house thinks they can keep this disapproval resolution from passing in congress by getting at least 41 no votes in the senate. Hold most of the democrats. Theyre off to a good start. What would this do to president obamas Foreign Policy<\/a> legacy . I think its a tremendous legacy. America can lead with allies and strategic coalitions it doesnt have to be america yuanunilateralism unilateralism. Finally, this morning, the heroes killed in the tennessee terror attack four marine and one sailor. They have survived wars overseas only to tragically fall here at home. We remember these remarkable americans. Ened please remember. Thats all for us today. Thank you for sharing part of your sunday with us. Check out world news tonight and well see you back here next week. Have a great day. Im monica malpass. On inside story, how do we change what president obama calls an unjust criminaljustice system . Lets get the inside story. Good morning. Welcome to inside story, and lets meet our insiders this week, and they are sharmain matlockturner good morning, welcome back to you a nonprofit executive christine flowers, attorney and journalist good morning. Pedro ramos, attorney good morning, sir and val digiorgio, attorney, as well. President obama was in philadelphia for the naacp convention, along with a host of other big names in politics and business, but he really spent the bulk of his time criticizing americas criminaljustice system, and the numbers really are shocking when you sit down and take a look at it. Lets hear from him first about what he found appalling. So, lets look at the statistics. The United States<\/a> is home to 5 of the worlds population.
