this is very important for congress to pin down and amano is the perfect person to ask about it. do you think congress will pin him down? the administration says there's no side deals and the ambassador to the iaea saying this stuff is confidential in tehran. >> well, that's what they would like people to believe. you know, if iran were a member in good standing of the iaea like iceland or belgium or norway or sub-like that, then you can say, all right, normal procedures would apply and these agreements would be confidential, but iran is not a normal member of the iaea. it's been violating the non-proliferation treaty for over 30 years. it's perfectly reasonable in a stance like this to say that the normal procedures don't apply. >> amano don't feel he can release the contents. >> and what if you can't review them, can congress vote on something that they don't know anything about it? >> a reason in and of itself for a member of congress to vote against this deal. you know, just because there are difficult confidential issues at stake doesn't mean that the documents that bear on

yukiya amano told the meetings that the process would require and urged them to cooperate. it didn't clarify if they would be allowed to enter the facility outside tehran. one option is for iran to provide images and video of the facility's interior for inspection. amano says there are various ways of undertaking the verification activities. >> the important thing is it should be technically sound. it should be in line away from the established iaea practice and very important element is that it should be -- we should be able to technically authenticate it. >> the issue of inspections was a focus of the talks between the country and the world powers. >>> german government authorities are trying to deal with a wave of anti-migrant attacks. they estimate that up to 800,000 people will apply for refugee status this year. that's four times last year's figure. but not everyone is welcoming the newcomers. a gymnasium intended as a shelter for asylum seekers burned down tuesday near berlin. police suspect it was deliberately set by neo-nazi or other far right groups. an anti-migra

amano, him coming out and saying they're not giving over responsibility for inspections to iran. >> critics of the iran nuke deal outraged over revelations that there are so-called side deals that allows iran to inspect its own nuke sites. israel's former ambassador to the u.n. joins us with reaction and the potential dangers it poses to his country. >>> and stories about the king kept under wraps for decades now revealed from the private nurse who treated elvis. she joins us live on her new book about their special relationship right ahead on "america's news headquarters." >>> and we begin with this fox news alert, authorities are saying that three americans including two servicemen stopped a potential bloodbath after taking down a gunman on a high-speed train in europe. they say the man came aboard in brussels en route to paris armed with an automatic rifle, hand gun and a knife. at least one person was hit by gunfire as the three men leaped into action. here they are. alek skarlatos with the oregon army national guard, airman first class spencer stone who was injured when the suspect sla

chief, yukiya amano, said he cannot give congress a copy of his agency's nuclear inspection agreement with iran. and at a separate hearing, undersecretary of state wendy sherman was questioned on that same point. >> ultimately what we are talking about here is the credibility of the international atomic energy agency whether in fact we believe they are credible, independent verification organization, which it is. >> ifill: polls show the american public is also divided over the agreement. a recent "wall street journal"/ n.b.c. news survey found a third supporting the deal, a third opposing it, and a third saying they don't know enough to make a decision. congress has begun a 60-day review, and has until september 17th to vote on it. the president has warned he'll veto any resolution of disapproval. so how successful was the president in making the case for the iran nuclear agreement? we get two views. nicholas burns had a 27-year career in the foreign service. he's now at harvard university's kennedy school. and ray takeyh was a senior adviser on iran at the state department during pr

chief yukiya amano spoke in vienna today, and said iran turned over "substantive" information on its program this month. it's unclear if any of the information is new. >> woodruff: more than 180,000 people are homeless in bangladesh after floods, landslides and a cyclone inundated the country. the red cross and red crescent made an appeal today for nearly $1 million to give people temporary shelter. the region was hit hard by cyclone komen at the end of july. that on top of flooding that began back in june. >> ifill: more than 46 million people worldwide now suffer from dementia. what's more, the group alzheimer's disease international estimates that number will double every 20 years. a new report out today says more than half of dementia victims now live in developing countries, and the numbers are growing fastest in east asia and africa. >> woodruff: and, that symbol of reliability, london's big ben, is finally showing its age. officials say the famed clock tower at the british parliament has been running about six seconds fast. so, mechanics had to fine-tune it by placing pennies

i know the that director-general amano will get asked this question by our colleagues in singapore relations committee -- but what i am assured of is that whatever they do in every circumstance where they believed they need to access, they will be technically authenticated and eliminate the standards that they must have and that they require for insurance verification. >> the answer that sounds like is no, we cannot be assured that iaea inspectors were physically and personally be present on every -- >> you know, you don't have to be physically present on every site in this technological world to get done what is necessary. our labs can walk you through those parameters as well. >> who will decide what is and is not a military site? >> well, i think the better way to respond to your question is to say if the iaea believes it has justification of access to the site, we have a process to ensure they get that access, whatever that site is, military or nonmilitary. >> can iran do research universities to be military sites because they have justification to enter any site regardless of what it is

amano. >> do you have any plans to request that those documents be provided to congress consistent with the iran nuclear deal act? >> i don't know if it is kebt consistent so i'll check with our folks and make a determination. i don't think we judge that it is consistent, but we'll, as we've said, we will certainly brief the contents if appropriate class -- >> if you could provide us the rationale for why you don't think the definition of agreement would encompass -- >> i said, i don't know. congressman be i just said i don't know. >> no, i'm saying if you would make that determination, if you could provide us kind of the legal justification for -- >> well of course we'd have to. of course, we'd do that. >> very good. there was a report in the associated press today that the agreement between iran and the iaea may not be impleetd. something that iran may be the one to take soil samples. can you guys comment? is it, in fact still being negotiated between iran and the iaea? >> in session here, we can't discuss what the methology is. we're happy to take this on in classified session. >> ca

i know that director general amano will get asked these questions by your colleagues in senate foreign relations committee in this informal meeting. i would rely on his answers more than on mine. what i am assured of is that whatever they do in every circumstance, where they believe they need to have access, it will be technically authenticated and it will meet the standards that they must have and that they require for ensuring verification monitoring. >> the answer then is, no, we cannot ensure that iaea inspectors will physically and personally be present on every site. >> you don't have to be physically present on every site in this technological world. our labs can walk you through those parameters as well. >> who will decide what is and what is not a military site? >> well, i think the better way to respond to your question is to say if the iaea believes it has justification to have access to a site, we have a process to ensure they get that access, whatever that site is military or nonmilitary. >> can iran deem its research militaries to be a research site? >> if they have justi

amano to testify before us today, this week -- next week, just so we could get an understanding of the iaea issues that we've been concerned about and whether we did that in a class tied setting or someplace else and we had been turned down. so i do want to make people aware of that. obviously there are a lot of concerns about the agreement that we haven't seen. what we do know about it i think we all know is at best very questionable. so i'm sorry to say that we're not going to have the benefit of their testimony to help clear up some of the concerns that we have. so with that we have two outstanding witnesses today hall be very helpful, our first witness is honorable juan c. czar tee, chairman of the center on sanctions and elicit finance at the foundation for defense of democra democracy. mr. zarate previously served as deputy assistant to the president and deputy nash a nl security adviser for combating terrorism. this this addition he was the first ever assistant secretary of the treasury for terrorist financing and financial crimes. you haven't been very successful in that regard
