Obama Says No U.S. Troops Going to Iraq; U.S. Considering Air Strikes in Iraq; Wake-up Call for Iraq

Aired June 13, 2014 - 13:00   ET

WOLF BLITZER, CNN ANCHOR: I'm Wolf Blitzer reporting from Washington. We welcome our viewers in the United States and around the world. This is a CNN special report, Iraq in crisis. The situation in Iraq is quickly deteriorating as Al Qaeda inspired militants move closer to Baghdad. There are now reports of roadside beheadings of Iraqi soldiers and police.

Also, hundreds of thousands have been forced to flee as those forces make their brutal push in eastern Iraq. It's a situation being closely watched by the White House as the Obama administration considers various options to help the Iraqi government. Just a little while ago, President Obama said this about potential U.S. military involvement in Iraq.

BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: We will not be sending U.S. troops back into combat in Iraq, but I have asked my national security team to prepare a range of other options that could help support Iraq security forces, and I'll be reviewing those options in the days ahead. I do want to be clear, though, this is not solely or even primarily a military challenge. Over the past decade, American troops have made extraordinary sacrifices to get Iraqis an opportunity to claim their own future.

Unfortunately, Iraqi's leaders have been unable to overcome too often the mistrust and sectarian differences that have long been simmering there. And that's create d vulnerabilities within the Iraqi government as well as their security forces. So, any action that we may take to provide assistance to Iraqi security forces has to be joined by a serious and sincere effort by Iraq's leaders to set aside sectarian differences, to promote stability, and account for the legitimate interests of all of Iraq's communities, and to continue to build the capacity of an effective security force. We can't do it for them.

And in the absence of this type of political effort, short term military action, including any assistance we might provide, won't succeed.

BLITZER: Joining us now, our Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta; our Chief International Correspondent Christiane Amanpour, she's in London; and our Senior International Correspondent Arwa Damon, she's in Irbil, Iraq, that's the northern part of the country.

Jim, the president says he's considering various options, not sending in U.S. troops. But what exactly is on the table, based on all the information we're hearing?

JIM ACOSTA, CNN CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: Wolf, the information that we're hearing is that the president is considering air strikes either through U.S. warplanes or drone strikes.

But as you heard the president say, he wants his national security team over the next several days to draw up these options and that this decision is not going to come overnight, it's going to take a few days. He wants to send a message to the Iraqis that they need it get their act together. He wants the government prime minister, Nuri al Maliki, to start making some concessions to start unifying that country because as the president said, he doesn't want to throw good money after bad in Iraqi, noting that those security forces are basically melting away in the face of those militant fighters with ISIS.

But at the same time, Wolf, I thought what was very striking, very interesting is that the president, we don't see this very much on the south lawn of the White House, taking questions before hopping on Marine One with Mrs. Obama. At one point, he was asked whether he feels reluctant to get involved in Iraq. And the president said, this is something that he wants to think about very carefully.

But when I went to a senior administration official and asked about that, asked whether or not the president was showing some apprehension there or whether or not this was really a case where the president wanting some planning from his national security team, this official said to me, no, this is about planning.

And so, at this point, it appears this White House, this administration, this president is moving toward some sort of military action in the coming days. They just don't know what it is, at this point -- Wolf.

BLITZER: Yes, the President clearly saying, Christiane, let me let you weigh in, he doesn't want the United States, in his words, dragged into a situation in Iraq. And it's all up to Nuri al Maliki, in effect. He's saying right now, you get the job done, show us you're sincere and then maybe we'll help you out militarily. But if you don't do that, the United States is not going to get involved. That was the basic bottom line message he was sending directly to Baghdad, at least from my perspective. Christiane, what do you think?

CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR, CNN CHIEF INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, here's the thing, obviously, they're desperate to get some kind of political unity and political functionality in Iraq. Because it's true, part of this problem has been the lack of ability of Nuri al Maliki to unite the country. Former Iraqi prime minister, Ayad Allawi, told me yesterday -- and I was nearly gob smacked by this. I asked him why these two divisions melted away and dropped their equipment and fled, 30,000 people in the face of 800 militants. And he told me because they had nothing to fight for. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. But apparently they have nothing to fight for. They don't believe in their government and these ISIS people have been able to overrun a key economic and major hub there of Mosul and challenging other cities.

So, the political is very important. Actually, Ayad Allawi is going over there now. He's on his way to try to see whether he can use his unique abilities to try to craft some kind of unity leadership. That's one thing.

The other thing is that the United States, the White House, the president's national security staff severely underestimated the readiness of the Iraqis once they pulled out in December of 2011. They underestimated, they did not expect this kind of trouble to brew in the intervening years. And yet we've been reporting for years the catastrophe of these constant suicide bombs, people dying, people being killed, this bloody mess that's been in Iraq ever since the U.S. has pulled out. That plus leaving the Syria mess to fester. Because what has happened is ISIS came from Iraq into Syria, got strong, went back into Iraq.

And this is what they're doing. And they want to join that part of Syria and Iraq into a caliphate. So, top commanders are telling me that you'll never be able to fix Iraq if you don't somehow stand up an army of the moderate opposition in Syria now and try to pacify that country. So, that's where those are linked.

And then, of course, you have this issue of Afghanistan. Very soon on a time table, the U.S. forces will be out of Afghanistan. And people are saying, hang on, you told us that the Iraqi forces were up and fine when you left Iraq. Now, you're saying the same thing about Afghanistan. Are we going to see that place tumble into disarray like we're seeing Iraq? So, it's very, very linked and it's very, very dangerous and poses severe strategic threat to the United States of America.

BLITZER: It certainly does. Christiane, hold on. Arwa Damon is in northern Iraq for us. You know, seeing these Iraqi troops in Mosul and elsewhere by the 10s of thousands simply taking off their uniforms, giving up their weapons, running away, in effect, sort of reminded me, Arwa, you were there, Christiane was there, when U.S. troops went from Kuwait into Iraq in March and April of 2003, the so- called elite Republic guard unit, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi troops supposedly loyal to Saddam Hussein, they didn't fight either. They just gave up. They ran away. They said they're not going to die for Saddam Hussein and the U.S. moved quickly from Kuwait into Baghdad. And then, we know what happened after that. But, Arwa, what's going on with these Iraqi troops? Why are they so disloyal to Nuri al Maliki and his Shiite led government?

ARWA DAMON, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, Wolf, we also have to look at the areas where these troops were operating and that is mostly in something of a Sunni beltway where they don't perhaps necessarily feel as if they have the need or the desire to want to fight for a government that, frankly, very few people, amongst the Sunni population, feel the need to want it di to die for, to say the least. But also, the Iraqi security forces might not necessarily feel, especially those that are operating in those Sunni areas, that they have the support that they need from Baghdad.

As the ISIS fighters have been advancing towards Baghdad, hitting areas like Diyala which is just to the north of the capital. They have been encountering more resistance, not necessarily from the Iraqi security forces but also from fighters that Iran has been sending over as well, several units with the special revolutionary guard to try to bolster the Iraqi security forces.

Now, the forces that are based in Baghdad itself, those are forces that do tend to be, by and large, incredibly loyal to Nuri al Maliki. So, it's highly unlikely, in the event that should the Sunni insurgency, the ISIS fighters, make their way to the capital, they're going to come across that same kind of scenario.

To add to what also is being discussed, Nuri al Maliki is a man whom the U.S. banked on for a second term despite numerous advice and warnings from various Sunni and Kurdish leaders who predicted that he would end up being, as some have been calling him, a Shia dictator and that his actions would further aggravate the situation here. Back then, he did make the U.S. to try to garner U.S. support certain promises and pledges that he would be establishing a nationalistic, all inclusive government, when, in fact, he did just the opposite and consolidated power around himself, in part, creating the situation that we have right now.

So, if America is going to be gambling on this man, once again, who has been going back on his word throughout Iraq's recent history since he's been in power, then they're going to have to be very careful and make sure that they have another pressure point that they can apply to him and on his government --Wolf.

BLITZER: Christiane, one of the deep concerns, I've heard this from officials here in Washington and the president himself mentioned it as he was getting ready to board Marine One, is a fear that these insurgents, these Islamist Insurgents, these ISIS terrorists will go after Shia shrines in Iraq, whether in Karbala or elsewhere. Now, we see Iranian elite Republican guard troops. They've move in to try to help deal with potentially this problem, other problems as well. Just tell our viewers briefly, what would happen if these ISIS terrorists blew up a Shiite shrine in Karbala or elsewhere?

AMANPOUR: Well, Wolf, we saw something like that back in 2005 and 2006 when Samarra, the main mosque there, this historic golden dome, was attacked by Islamic militants. And that set off two years of vicious civil war, sectarian war between Sunnis and Shiites, and eventually led to President Bush doubling down at the urging and the advice of General Petraeus and General Kien (ph), the surge. It worked. They've beat back these people but it was also political thing. They got these Sunni tribes onboard as well. And then, you know, things got a little bit better and then the troops were pulled out and the U.S. has no more leverage there.

So, if, indeed, this becomes an attack on various shrines, that will be very bloody. It's not -- I'm not sure that that's what's going to happen. What most people are telling me is, including U.S. commanders and Iraqi officials and Iraqi former government officials, they feel that what this is about is the dismemberment of Iraq, the Kurds taking Kurdistan and keeping it, and part of Kure Cook, obviously. The terrorists taking this very strategic western part of Iraq and the Maliki government or whoever it is, the Shiite mass from Baghdad on down to the south. And most of the shrines are in the south. You've got Karbala and the Jaff (ph), all those big Shiite shrines. So, that is the real danger here.

And it has all sorts of implications. If you cut up and break up Iraq, it has sectarian implications, it's had implications with all the actors around, not only Iran but others, Turkey. I mean, it is going to be an all mighty mess, including economic --major economic implications because of where the oil is and all those roots and production, et cetera. So, this is a major, major problem. And it is not isolated to Iraq. This is why we have to understand the connection. The connection is vital. First of all, the connection being in Syria where all these people have, for the last three years, been able to fight and do their dastardly, you know, business there, wanting to have this (INAUDIBLE) fate. And now, this stunning takeover of Mosil and the attempt to take others has taken everybody by surprise.

BLITZER: Yes, it certainly has. All right, Christiane, Arwa, Jim Acosta, guys, thanks very much. Coming up, much more of our special report, the crisis in Iraq. Is the U.S. going back to war in Iraq to stop these so-called ISIS terrorists? Just what would potential air strikes look like? We'll get a closer look. That's coming up.

Plus, President Obama says military action alone won't solve the crisis. Our own Gloria Borger, she'll join us to discuss the president's dilemma.

BLITZER: Welcome back to our special report, "Crisis in Iraq." I'm Wolf Blitzer reporting from Washington. Once again, we want to welcome our viewers in the United States and around the world.

The president has been meeting with his top national security advisers. The White House has just released this official photo from the Oval Office earlier today. You see the president and the vice president there. You see on the left, you see General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Susan Rice is to the right, the national security advisor. Dennis McDonough, Lisa Monaco, the president's advisor on homeland security. So the president met with them earlier today just before he made that statement in which he ruled out sending U.S. troops to Iraq, but he certainly didn't rule out other military action, possibly including air strikes and drone strikes for that matter. It looks like the United States may, in fact, be seriously studying those options. The Pentagon is planning to move the aircraft carrier, the George H.W. Bush, from the North Arabian Sea into the Persian Gulf in the coming hours. It's all designed to provide the president with options for possible air strikes.

Our Tom Foreman is joining us now.

Tom, what kind of strikes are we talking about because there are various options out there?

TOM FOREMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, the president is talking about precise and effective strike. And that gets really tricky in this circumstance. When you start talking about big things like F-18s and aircraft carriers and cruise missiles and B-1 bombers, you're talking about very robust delivers of force that normally go after very robust targets. Things like air fields and command and control structures and supply lines. And there's no indication that ISIS really has any of those things. Just as importantly as our Barbara Starr over at the Pentagon has been pointing out all day, even as they have them, we don't know where they are. The intelligence on the ground about this group is very scattered right now. So what do you do with all this big power if you have no idea where to place it, Wolf?

BLITZER: Well, what about helicopter gun ship, air to ground missiles? They could be effective if you have appropriate targets, albeit one of the problems is these terrorists, they've sort of gone into heavily populated areas and the last thing the U.S. wants to do is kill innocent civilians.

FOREMAN: As you know, Wolf, from your experience there, this is one of the key tactics of groups like this. When you start talking about a group like ISIS, what does it want to do. It wants to be in population centers where they are surrounded by civilians, they're surrounded by sensitive targets, like you mentioned a little while ago, mosques, hospitals, schools, anything like that that are difficult to hit, that's where they're living right now. And again, all of that makes it very hard to bring in big power and hit them. And, by the way, there's still several thousand Americans in the country. So you have to watch out for them, as well, Wolf.

BLITZER: If ISIS is so powerful, so impressive, don't they have certain staging points, supply headquarters, other kind of facilities that potentially could be targeted without fear of innocent civilians getting killed?

FOREMAN: We always have to be careful, as you know. These things can take on mythical portions. ISIS is clearly doing very well right the now, but that does not make it a full on army like we know armies. Nonetheless, even if they're behaving that way in any sort of fashion, one of the concerns is that one of their staging areas would actually over here sort of on the Syrian-Iraq border, which as you can see sort of cuts right through the middle here.

The problem with striking over here is they treat this border as if it doesn't exist. When they're over here on the Syrian side, if U.S. forces were to strike them, while it would serve interest over here, it would also serve the interests in Damascus, of Bashar al Assad, which the U.S. does not want to help. So it becomes very, very sticky, Wolf. And it is not an easy way to get out. This is one more visitation of the problem we have now had for decades, Wolf, using a conventional army to fight an unconventional foe. And that is precisely what ISIS is. BLITZER: That's why the president of the United States says he needs

several days to weigh all of these options out there because he doesn't want to get, in his words, dragged into another conflict in Iraq. All right, Tom Foreman, thanks very much.

And as the president weighs his options, he says military action alone won't fix what's wrong in Iraq. Gloria Borger standing by to join us. We'll talk about the president's response, what it means for his overall foreign policy. Our special report, "Crisis in Iraq," continues right after this.

BLITZER: Welcome back to our special report, "Crisis in Iraq."

President Obama says he's weighing a range of options right now, but he's also putting pressure on the Iraqi government. At the White House just a little while ago, the president said the crisis is a reality check for Iraq's leaders.

BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: We can't do it for them. And in the absence of this type of political effort, short term military action, including any assistance we might provide, won't succeed. So this should be a wake-up call. Iraq's leaders have to demonstrate a willingness to make hard decisions and compromises on behalf of the Iraqi people in order to bring the country together.

BLITZER: Our chief political analyst, Gloria Borger, is here with me. That was a pretty blunt message to Nuri al Maliki, the prime minister of Iraq.

BLITZER: You know what, we're not going to do anything unless you get your act together.

BORGER: You know, I think they're sick and tired of him, to tell you the honest truth. I think what the president is saying is, look, we've got a lot of leverage here. We have asked you in the past to have more outreach, to have more of a coalition. And what we're saying to you now is, because you didn't do that, this is what is happening on the ground. And don't expect us to bail you out again if you don't do what we ask you to do.

So I think the president also came out and said to the American public, look, hold your horses, these things take a few days to decide what to do. And if he does decide to do something militarily, he said he wants it to be precise and targeted. So I think he also needed to come out there to tell the American public we're working on it, but I'm not going to jump into something until I know exactly what it is I'm getting in to.

BLITZER: Because he knows that it's a lot easier to get involved with the military action than to get out of the military action.

BORGER: Yes. You know - but, you know, Wolf, you really can't overstate exactly what's on the line here for the president. I mean we had such a huge investment in blood and treasure in Iraq. Overwhelming majority of the American public says Iraq wasn't worth it. Now it's as if everybody is living a bad dream and hearing the names of the cities we heard about so much during the Iraq War and the president is walking this really fine line here saying, look, I'm not going to send troops back on the ground, but this is an important region to us.

The Iraqis are responsible for their own security. We spent so much money training these security forces who are running away, right? So the president has to figure out a way to walk that line and say, this is important, this is what we're willing to do. We didn't make our investment for nothing. So we do have leverage here, so hold on.

BLITZER: Yes, he's getting pounds, though, by his critics.

BORGER: Right.

BLITZER: John McCain saying he should fire all of his national security team.

BLITZER: Bring general Petraeus back in.

BORGER: Well - well, that's -- that's right. And again, it does speak to the president's legacy and the question of whether we should have armed the rebels in Syria, whether a complete withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2016 is the right way to go given what's now going on in Iraq. So there are lots of questions that will no doubt be raised.

But the one fact that remains for this president is that the American public overwhelming does not want to put boots on the ground in Iraq. And he came out and said he has no intention of doing that.

BLITZER: Yes. He made that abundantly clear and he said it's going to take several days to decide what, if anything, he will do. But there's a window now for Nuri al Maliki -

BORGER: There is.

BLITZER: To act or not act.

BORGER: Step up.

BLITZER: And then that will have an impact on what the president decides.

Gloria, thanks very much.

BLITZER: Up next, as President Obama weighs U.S. options in Iraq, we're learning more about some of the problems that have developed there, the insurgency. What is the insurgency? Who are these political leaders in Baghdad? Why are they not responding to what the U.S. says they need to do? Our special report, "Crisis in Iraq," continues right after this.

Interview with Jordanian Foreign Minister; Former News of the World Editor Coulson Convicted Of Phone Hacking; Iraqi Military Pushing Back Against ISIS: Artist Creates Project Using Discarded Footballs; Shipping Containers As Affordable Housing Solution?

Aired June 24, 2014 - 11:00   ET

BECKY ANDERSON, HOST: Iraq today, possibly Jordan tomorrow, Amman on high alert as ISIS sets it sight beyond the borders of Iraq and Syria. I

speak exclusively this hour to the Jordanian foreign minister.

Also ahead, Egypt's president refuses to intervene despite international outrage over prison sentences handed down to three al Jazeera

And with Formula One star Michael Schumacher still recovering from what was a terrible accident, there's word now that his medical files may

have been stolen and are up for sale.

ANNOUNCER: Live from CNN Abu Dhabi, this is Connect the World with Becky Anderson.

ANDERSON: A very good evening from the UAE. We begin in Iraq where the battle between Iraqi forces and Sunni militants intensifies with

conflicting reports as to who is now in control of a key oil refinery in the north of the country.

Let me get you a sense of what is happening on the ground there.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met today with Iraqi Kurdish President Massoud Barzani who says his region is facing a new reality and a

new Iraq.

Meanwhile, the Iraqi ministry of defense released video that it says shows Iraqi helicopters bombing targets in the key oil town of Baiji to

repel an ISIS attack. State run Iraqiya News Agency says 19 militants were killed.

Well, Nima Elbagir joins us live from Baghdad with more details.

Let's start with John Kerry who I know now has left the region, we believe. What, if anything, has he achieved?

NIMA ELBAGIR, CNN INTERNAITONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, he brought a very specific message with him, Becky. He said it is unity. That is the

only way forward for Iraq, that with a military solution and the sustained support, as he put it, that the U.S. was prepared to put on the table,

there had to be a tandem process. And that's why he didn't just meet with prime minister Nuri al-Maliki, he also met with some key Sunni opposition

figures and then he went north to Kurdistan and met with the president of Kurdistan there.

And if, perhaps, Kurdistan was thinking that this was looking like a good time to consider closing the borders around them, well, Kerry was

there to make sure that the message was received, that it would not be a good idea to have a hostile Sunni militant neighbor on their doorstep. And

it wasn't in anyone's interest to allow ISIS to run right through the region.

All this came while the Iraqi army was for the first time in a very long time, Becky, beginning to claim some victories. They claim that they

killed 90 militants, as you just reported, in Baiji. They're also claiming to have retaken two of those strategic border crossing between Syria and

Iraq. And they are also claiming to have killed two very high ranking ISIS militants, one an Algerian and one the self-styled governor of Saddam

Hussein's birthplace Tikrit.

There is a sense those we're speaking with in the international community, there's a sense amongst them that perhaps now there is a window,

a moment that can and should be captured if all the Iraqi axes come together and push that momentum, Becky.

ANDERSON: All right. We're going to do more on the situation on the ground as we move through this hour. I just want to move away from Iraq

for a moment.

Mariam Yeha Ibrahim (ph), so close to tasting freedom, but the Christian woman who was sentenced to death for refusing to renounce her

faith then released in Sudan is, we believe, backing government custody. Our legal team says Ibrahim and her husband and two kids were detained

today at Khartoum airport on their way out the country.

Now details are sketchy. Nima, you have reported extensively on this case. What have you learned about her whereabouts today?

ELBAGIR: Well, Daniel actually tried to call us. In fact, he did manage to for me from inside Sudanese national security headquarters,

telling us what had happened, that he, his wife, and his children were on their way finally out of the country -- and you remember, we spoke about

this, that he had been very, very worried for his wife's safety once she was freed he'd been really worried that extremists might be unhappy about

her being released without any source of sanction on her for this perceived crime. So he was trying to move as quickly as possible to get out of the

country and they were detained.

No reason given. They are currently being interrogated, we understand, at national security headquarters. And her legal team have not

been given access to them, Becky. And Daniel's phone, we've been trying it continuously over the last couple of hours, it is switched off -- Becky.

ANDERSON: All right. Well, I know you're going to stay on that story as you will be on the story where you are in Baghdad as well. For the time

being, Nima, thank you for that.

We're going to have more on the battle for Iraq coming up on Connect the World with me Becky Anderson. An exclusive live interview with

Jordan's foreign minister about the potential threat for his country from ISIS fighters who are very near the kingdom's borders.

We'll also update you on what the key players in the region are saying about the turmoil in Iraq.

And we'll talk to Sunni tribal leaders about whether ISIS is taking advantage of Sunni resentment over what is Shiite leadership there. That

is all later this hour here on CNN.

Well, the families of three journalists from al Jazeera imprisoned in Egypt say they will keep fighting to overturn the men's guilty convictions.

But it seems they won't be getting any help from President Abdel Fatah al- Sisi. He is standing firm despite international pressure to free the three men.

CNN's Ian Lee has more from Cairo on the president's reaction.

IAN LEE, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Becky, despite the considerable outrage by the international community, President Abdel Fatah

al-Sisi dashed the hopes of the detained reporters and their families. Speaking to a graduating class at the war college, he said I will not

interfere in the verdicts of the justice system, because the Egyptian judiciary is independent and proud.

This doesn't come as a surprise, because his supporters would see a pardon negatively.

The only hope for freedom for the three al Jazeera journalists now seems like the appeals process. But that can be very slow, taking months,

if not over a year.

The president also seemed annoyed by the international criticism saying no one should comment or speak about the state's institutions, that

we should adhere to the verdicts of the justice system even when others don't understand that.

The Canadian ambassador said just that after the trial, that he didn't understand the ruling. That's most likely because of the lack of any real

evidence. What the prosecution presented was at times unrelated to Egypt, like a BBC documentary on Somalia, or family photos of Greste on vacation.

It's unlikely that any of the international pressure will have any impact. In fact, it could have the opposite effect. Going back to what

the president said, the Egyptian judiciary is independent and proud, it is, indeed proud. And if they feel insulted by the condemnation, it's more

likely that they'll dig in their heels.

If that's the case, that will be bad news for the journalists who are already facing seven to 10 years behind bars -- Becky.

ANDERSON: Ian Lee reporting.

Well, Michael Schumacher's manager says stolen medical files purported to be those of the Formula One legend are being offered for sale.

Now Schumacher was hospitalized, you'll remember, in Grenoble in France after he suffered severe head trauma in a skiing accident last year.

Well, he's now out of a coma and was moved last week to a Swiss rehabilitation hospital.

Now his manager says the stolen documents have been offered for sale over a number of days. She said, and I quote, "we cannot judge if these

documents are authentic, however, the documents are clearly stolen. The theft is being reported. The authorities are involved."

Let's get more from Diana Magnay who is in Berlin.

Di, this is one of those headlines you just couldn't make up, but it seems it's true. Who has these medical records and who are they trying to

sell them to?

DIANA MAGNAY, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, we don't know who it is who has taken them, but they've been trying to sell them to a

number of publications in the UK, in Germany. Bilt Saidong (ph), which is one of the big German tabloids had an article on it. And I spoke to them,

they said that this person had approached them trying to sell them these documents, which they claimed to be Michael Schumacher's records for 60,000

Swiss francs, which is a little under $70,000. Their editorial department declined, as has everybody else.

Michael Schumacher's manager has made very clear in that statement that they will press criminal charges in every single case for the purchase

and publication of anything edited in those documents.

And, really, since Michael Schumacher's terrible accident six months ago, Becky, the management team and also his family have consistently

requested that people respect their privacy to allow them to deal with this pain in their own way and for the doctors to be able to operate freely as

he goes through his recovery and rehabilitation. And the idea that these documents might come into the public arena and that people might pour over

them and more speculation about his medical condition, that is what they have been trying to avoid all the way along.

So it really does seem incredibly crass, incredibly insensitive to the family that this should now be, you know, on offer, on sale, Beck.

ANDERSON: Yeah. No, I know. Shocking stuff, Diana, thank you for that. Diana Magnay on the story for you.

Still to come tonight, a blow for Britain's prime minister. Why David Cameron says he is extremely sorry for one of his hiring decisions.

Details from a key London court case coming up.

Also ahead, Jordan sends reinforcements to secure a border crossing with Iraq. I'm going to talk exclusively to Jordan's foreign minister

about threats posed by ISIS beyond Iraq. That is next.

ANDERSON: You're back with Connect the World with me, Becky Anderson. Welcome back.

Now Iraq military officials say all towns between Samarra and Baghdad are in the hands of Iraqi security forces. Let's have a look at a map

Concern has been growing as ISIS fighters claim more territory. This, the latest showing the areas where the militants are believed to be in

control. You can see those in red.

The military officials, though, says Iraqi forces have retaken two key border crossings into Syria and Jordan. CNN cannot independently confirm

those claims, though.

And a quick look for you at what some of the key players have been saying over the past couple of days.

Now Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said Monday the current conflict with ISIS poses a threat not only to Iraq, but to the region as

In an exclusive interview, Iraqi-Kurdish president Massoud Barzani told CNN's Christiane Amanpour that, and I quote, "Iraq is obviously

falling apart." And he said he plans to push for Kurdish independence.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who has been in region, tells CNN Iraqi leaders that he's spoken with have, quote, realized they cannot

continue with this sectarian division.

Well, another key regional player also speaking out today, Jordan's King Abdullah. He met with the German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin

to discuss the situation in Iraq and Syria, amongst other things. Both leaders are calling for a reshuffle of the Iraqi government to better

present or represent all of the people in Iraq.

Have a listen to this.

KING ABDULLAH, JORDAN: We are looking obviously at the issue of the inclusiveness, the future of Iraq where all participants of Iraq have to

come together in a comprehensive way and be the building blocks of a comprehensive and a total inclusive future for the Iraqi people.

ANDERSON: Well, King Abdullah saying that unity is the only way forward.

Jordan has reason to be concerned about the movement of ISIS fighters, of course. Areas controlled by the Sunni militant group in Iraq stretch to

a key border crossing into Jordan. Reports say Amman sending reinforcements to the Karmmah border crossing. There are conflicting

reports as to who is in control on the Iraqi side.

Well, let's learn what's at stake for Jordan here. We're joined by the foreign minister Nasser Judeh. And, sir, as we start, let's clear this

up who do you understand to be in control of the Trebil border crossing between Iraq and Jordan?

NASSER JUDEH, JORDANIAN FOREIGN MINISTER: Well, Becky, I missed the first part of your show, but I assume that you're expressing concern on our

behalf as to who controls the border on the other side. Don't forget that we've had serious problems in the western part of Iraq in Anbar for a

number of years now. And we're fully in control of our border. And let us not forget that we have much trouble going on in Syria along a 380

kilometer border with Jordan.

We're, again, fully in control of that situation on our side of the border. What happens on the other side, of course, is beyond our control.

But we are very, very vigilant. And we're keeping a very close watch.

But Jordan as a -- in terms of its stability and in terms of security is quite fine.

ANDERSON: Can I ask you, then, what your security forces are witnessing from your side of the border?

JUDEH: There's obviously problems going on. And I said earlier that this is not new. I think the recent developments and the snowballing of

what's happening in all of northern and northwestern Iraq is a continuation obviously of what's been happening for awhile. And we are obviously

continuing to call for an inclusive political process that takes into account all the components of Iraqi society.

I think recently people have been hearing about ISIL and what ISIL has done, but the problem is much larger than that.

This is just another week for Jordan and its long history. We've seen our region historically over the last 100 years of modern, contemporary

Jordan, with coup d'etat's and revolutions and wars and civil wars and upheavals and extremism and terrorism all around us. And thank god for the

stability we enjoy.

But there's a lot going on in Iraq. And we've been saying that it's not just about extremism and terrorism, which we've been warning against

for the last couple of years, but it's also about the dynamics within Iraq.

ANDERSON: What do you fear most?

JUDEH: I'm sorry?

ANDERSON: What do you fear most at this point?

JUDEH: What we fear as part of the region -- again, as far as Jordan and the immediate danger, I mean, it's not affecting us only. We've been

saying for awhile that the rise and spread of extremism and the politics of exclusivity will threaten the security of the entire region. I mean, I was

talking to Secretary of State Kerry just before he went to Baghdad yesterday and Urbil obviously today when he passed through Amman a couple

of nights ago. And we obviously shared the same concerns.

But we in Jordan have been saying for a couple of years now that what you're seeing in Syria and what you've recently been seeing in Iraq is a

continuation of what we've seen in western Iraq for a couple of years. It's all fueling this sectarian -- ethnic and sectarian violence, but also

the clear and present danger of the rise and spread of extremism and terrorism.

So I think this is something that has to be addressed by all of us.

ANDERSON: In an interview with my colleagues Jim Sciutto, which our viewers will see a little later this hour, John Kerry said there is, and I

quote, "a capacity to have a new Iraqi government that could be a unity government, that could reflect a greater capacity for success." Fairly

loose words there, but Kerry clearly holding out hope that al-Malliki will rise above this sectarian motivation, as it were.

It seems that clearly Amman agrees that a unity government is the answer at this stage to the current troubles. I wonder whether you think

this is, though, realistic. And how you feel about the U.S. suggesting that it will step in with military action if, indeed, a political solution

can't be found quickly to what is going on in Iraq.

JUDEH: Well, Becky, I'm not in a position to second guess what a U.S. secretary of state is saying, nor am I in the position -- and this is the

backbone of our foreign policy in Jordan -- not to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.

However, we have been saying for awhile now, because of our concern for the general situation in the region, the security aspect of it, the

rise of extremism, the politics of ethnic and sectarian division not just in Iraq as we've seen recently, but what we've seen in Syria over the last

three and a bit years now. We've been saying for awhile that this has to be addressed.

Again, everybody is saying, not just us, because of our concern for the entire region everybody is saying that is has to be a political process

that is all-inclusive in terms of all the components of Iraqi society when it comes to Iraq.

But again, let us not forget what's been happening in Syria.

ANDERSON: For sure. And certainly we shouldn't do that.

Foreign Minister, I have to push you on this, Washington not ruling out military action in Iraq. Would you support them on that?

JUDEH: I'm -- I can't answer a hypothetical questions, Becky, as you well know. I'm here really to address what you started by saying, which is

the threat to Jordan. You were in Jordan a few weeks ago covering the pope's visit. And like I said, in the past and like you saw with your own

eyes, there's always problems in the Middle East. And like I said repeatedly, it's just another week for Jordan.

But this has to be the root cause of ethnic and sectarian division, the root cause of instability and the rise and spread of terrorism and

extremism has to be addressed.

ANDERSON: With that, sir, we're going to leave it. We thank you very much indeed for joining us. The foreign minister of Jordan out of Berlin

for you this evening traveling there with his majesty King Abdullah. Thank you, sir.

Live from Abu Dhabi, this is Connect the World with me, Becky Anderson.

Coming up, where in the world is this considered an innovative answer to more affordable housing? The answer next in CNN's property show One

Square Meter.

ANDERSON: Right. Its' time for us to get you into the Global Exchange where we introduce you to the people and places paving the way

forward in the world's emerging economies.

And affordable housing in short supply in of Australia's biggest cities. And one company has come up with a very innovative solution. John

Defterios explains in today's One Square Meter.

JOHN DEFTERIOS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Sydney, Australia's most recognizable city is a hot property market.

The country's low interest and mortgage rates have driven sales of affordable, middle income housing. But there's not enough available stock

to satisfy demand. A solution to this problem may lie beyond the harbor and out to sea -- cargo shipping containers stacked onto huge vessels carry

all kinds of goods around the globe. Once docked and unloaded, rather than being discarded they can be transformed.

Nearly 600 kilometers from Sydney in this Lismore, the Container Build Group can turn an empty box into a home.

JAMIE VAN TONGEREN, CEO, CONTAINER BUILD GROUP: I started this business because I felt that there was a need for affordable housing. And,

you know, using a cleaner and greener option, which is shipping containers that's not being used. And I've seen it overseas, and yeah, I just think

it's something that needs to be done and I'm doing it.

DEFTERIOS: And business, in a word, is booming. Annual turnover last year was $1.5 million. The company expects to double that going forward.

VON TONGEREN: We start with a container, obviously. It arrives like this. Then what we do is we design the house for the client. And then

what we do is we basically go to construction phase and we cut all the holes in the container that suit the window frames.

DEFTERIOS: From $565 per square meter to $1400 per square meter, the cost of construction and overall sale price is lower than a brick building.

VON TONGEREN: This consists of two 40 foot containers. Their joined on site. We put this in yesterday and it took about eight hours to install

the whole thing, including the roof and the balcony.

Ok, so in here we're in the master bedroom. And so in here is the second bedroom. Again, this is still part of the two containers. The

doors are left on, so you can open them up and you can -- if you've got a nice view, you know, it's going to be a pretty special bedroom.

DEFTERIOS: There are approximately 34 million 20 foot shipping containers on Earth. It's likely in future, these sturdy metal boxes will

increasingly be seen as an alternative to brick buildings.

John Defterios.

ANDERSON: You're watching Connect the World with me, Becky Anderson, live from the UAE at just after half past 7:00. These are the headlines.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry turned his attention today to the autonomous region of Kurdistan in northern Iraq. He met with the Kurdish

President Massoud Barzani who says his region is facing a new reality and a new Iraq.

In Sudan, a Christian woman who faced death for refusing to renounce her faith is back in government custody. Lawyers say Mariam Yehya Ibrahim

and her husband were detained at the airport in Khartoum. Now this comes a day after she was released.

We're getting word this hour of another mass kidnapping in Nigeria. Local officials say some 60 women and girls have been abducted from a

remote farming village in Borno state, some of the girls as young as 3- years-old. And it is again believed to be the work of Boko Haram.

Egypt's president says he will not intervene in the case of three al Jazeera journalists who were sentenced up to 10 years in prison yesterday

for their reporting during last year's unrest in Cairo. Journalists, human rights groups and leaders around the world have denounced the verdict and

demanded that the men be released.

The British prime minister's former communication's chief Andy Coulson has been found guilty of conspiracy to hacking phones. The charges relate

to his time as a tabloid newspaper editor. Well, Coulson's former colleague Rebekah Brooks has been cleared of all charges. The verdicts

come three years after it was revealed that journalists at the paper checked the messages of a missing teenager raising hopes that she was still

alive. She had in fact been murdered.

CNN's Max Foster is at the Old Bailey in London and joins us live with more.

Max, just how significant is this decision today?

MAX FOSTER, CNN INTERNAITONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, it's a big decision. It's still ongoing. I mean, this trial has been going on for

months, one of the longest criminal trials in British history. It's not over yet, because there are still two outstanding verdicts that we're

waiting for in relation to Andy Coulson, predominately in relation to payments made to a police officer for some royal phone directories and the

jury is still considering those.

But of course, they delivered the other verdicts earlier on today. So Rebekah Brooks cleared of all the charges against her. Andy Coulson

convicted of phone hacking, which is really the core of this case. It's not all about phone hacking, but that which has got most of the attention

And Andy Coulson is important, not just because he was editor of the leading tabloid in this country, but he later went on to be the

communications secretary for Prime Minister David Cameron whose own judgment is now being questioned. And he's being forced to respond today.

DAVID CAMERON, BRITISH PRIME MINISTER: I take full responsibility for employing Andy Coulson. I did so on the basis of undertakings I was given

by him about phone hacking. And those turned out not to be the case.

I always said that if they turned out to be wrong, I would make a full and frank apology. And I do that today. I'm extremely sorry that I

employed him. It was the wrong decision. And I'm very clear about that.

FOSTER: Celebrities, members of the royal family, a murdered schoolgirl, all were among the more than 4,000 people alleged to have had

their phones hacked by the British tabloid The News of the World over a period of six years. The scandal saw the 168 year old paper shut down by

its Rupert Murdoch owned parent company News International in July 2011.

It also led to a public inquiry and a criminal trial to determine who at the tabloid knew about the illegal intercepts.

Chief among the seven accused was former News International CEO Rebekah Brooks. The prosecution says she was the editor at The News of the

World and its stable mate The Sun whilst journalists hacked phones and made corrupt payments to public officials.

It was further alleged that together with five others, including her husband, Charlie Brooks, the 46-year-old conspired to cover up the

wrongdoing. According to the prosecution, this CCTV vision of Mr. Brooks disposing of technical equipment before police arrived is evidence of that.

The defense claimed he was actually removing pornography to avoid embarrassing headlines for his wife.

That headline, and several others about Mrs. Brooks' private life emerged during the seven month trial, including revelations that she shared

an intimate relationship with her successor and co-accused Andrew Coulson who later went on to work as British Prime Minister David Cameron's

director of communications.

Both Mr. Coulson and Mrs. Brooks had approved many titillating front pages during their tenures at The News of the World. And the prosecution

argued the pair must have been aware that stories were being sourced through private investigator Glenn Mulcair. Mrs. Brooks denied knowing

Mulcair, even though the court heard he had been on The News of the World payroll since the late 1990s and had already been jailed over phone hacking

alongside former royal correspondent Clive Goodman in 2007.

Mr. Goodman gave evidence revealing he listened to Kate Middleton's voicemails 155 times, Prince William's 35 times and Prince Harry's nine

No one denies phone hacking too place at The News of the World. And victims, together with authorities, have demanded justice.

But what's been vehemently refuted by all defendants in this trial is that they played any part in the illegal eavesdropping.

FOSTER: Rebekah Brooks, of course, vindicated on all charges today. She got very emotional in the court and had to be taken away by a nurse,

but she looked confident when she came back outside. A huge amount of relief, no doubt for her.

Andy Coulson, though, facing a jail term, particularly if these extra charges come through against him. We'll wait to hear about that. It could

happen today, Becky, but possibly tomorrow. The jury is under no pressure from the judge to come up with a quick decision.

ANDERSON: Max Foster for you.

All right, let's turn back to our top story this hour, the battle for Iraq. Chief U.S. security correspondent Jim Sciutto sat down with U.S.

Secretary of State John Kerry in northern Iraq earlier to get his view of were things stand now. Part of the interview for you now.

JOHN KERRY, SECRETARY OF STATE: What I have found here is, first of all, the signature fact that 14 million Iraqis went out and voted. A very

significant percentage of the population chose democracy. And there is a constitutional process which we in our strategic framework agreement are

pledged to be supportive of, and we are.

That constitutional process is actually playing out right now. The fact is that even President Barzani today, who is opposed to the prime

minister, made it clear that he wants to participate in the process, that he wants to help choose the next government. And other leaders that I met

with were all engaged. We have to let that organic process work out a little bit.

Words are cheap. I fully -- you know, I'm not taking anything I hear to the bank and saying, wow, it's going to be solved. But I'm hearing

things that indicate to me that if they follow through on the things they're saying, there's a capacity to have a new government that could be a

unity government that could reflect a greater capacity for success.

ANDERSON: That was John Kerry speaking to Jim Sciutto.

While ISIS is a Sunni fighting force in Iraq and in Syria, of course, that does not mean that they have the total support of the mostly Sunni

population now under their control in Iraq.

But as Arwa Damon reports, they all have one thing in common, they are angry at the government of the Shiite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.

ARWA DAMON, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: About a year ago, we traveled to Iraq's Sunni heartland of al-Anbar Province, the highway into

the city of Ramadi transformed into a demonstration ground against Shia prime minister Nuri al-Maliki.

The tribes were getting ready for battle should Iraqi forces try to enter.

SHEIK ALI HATEM SULEIMAN, SUNNI TRIBAL LEADER (through translator): We've been ready for a long time. We're certain that al-Maliki is a liar.

The political process is just a game. Our weapons are everywhere -- light, medium and on up.

DAMON: But Sheik Ali Hatem had also vowed that the tribes would not again be a nurturing ground for terrorism. His tribe was among those that

eventually allied with the U.S., turning against al Qaeda in some of the darkest days of the American occupation.

So what happened?

SULEIMAN (through translator): ISIS has tried to ride the wave of the Sunni revolution. It's trying to exploit it and we won't accept this.

DAMON: But to a certain degree, they have for now.

SULEIMAN (through translator): It's not in our interest to fight a variety of groups. We don't have the capability to fight everyone. The

problem is with Maliki. ISIS is killing and ISIS has an agenda. But all the Shia militias right now are wearing an official Iraqi uniform and are

killing Iraqis. Everyone is focused on ISIS. The tribes will not ally with ISIS.

DAMON: The problem is, Sunni insurgent groups and the tribes are not all united.

But Iraq's Sunni population does have genuine grievances.

SULEIMAN (through translator): American needs to not look at Iraq through a single lens. There is a real revolution, real opposition.

Maliki is polishing his image. America needs to listen to us. We don't have an issue with anyone. We just want our rights. We have a right to

live here.

DAMON: And Sheik Ali Hatem warns America needs to remember something very important from its devastating era in Iraq.

SULEIMAN (through translator): ISIS is going to open the door in Iraq that can't be closed and we are aware of this. You can't stop ISIS without

the tribes. America shouldn't think that the Maliki government can stop ISIS. Maliki is the real danger to us. We can get rid of ISIS whenever we

want. And rest assured we will fight them.

DAMON: That might prove tougher than he boasts. Already in many areas like Mosul, ISIS is clearly the one in control and calling the shots,

having already opened the door to this new bloody phase of the country's history.

Arwa Damon, CNN, Urbil, Iraq.

ANDERSON: You're watching Connect the World with me Becky Anderson. Up next, Iranian authorities detain some World Cup fans over this viral

video. We're going to take a closer look at Iran's internet restrictions and the push to change them. That in a live report from Tehran up next.

ANDERSON: Well, a couple of World Cup fans have found themselves in trouble with the authorities in Iran after they appeared in this music

ANDERSON: Well, fans were reportedly released after being questioned. The music, featured in that video, was from the London-based Iranian band

Ajam (ph).

Well, I actually spoke to the b and several days ago. They said their song was only meant to capture the excitement of the World Cup and not by

any means make a political statement.

Well, something similar happened, of course, with this video of young Iranians dancing to the Pharell Williams song Happy. Iranian police

detained several people connected with this clip releasing them days later.

Though, could this be a sign that the authorities are backing off what has been in the past the country's tough media restrictions?

Well, just a few weeks ago Iran's president gave a speech urging leaders to, quote, recognize our citizens rights to connect to the world

wide web.

Well, let's get to Reza Sayah to get some perspective on this from Tehran.

It does seem slightly odd to be saying -- are we seeing the Iranian authorities back off a little in what has been this incredibly strict

authoritative sort of message of the past.

But, you know, these guys I guess have been released in both of these cases.

What's the reality on the ground so far as people getting a chance to gather and watch these games?

REZA SAYAH, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPNDENT: The reality is complicated. I mean, Iran is such a complicated culture, Becky, that when

you have incidents like this it's hard to get a read on it.

But when you look at this particular case, it certainly could be a sign that social restrictions are easing a little bit, but it's impossible

to say at this point.

Iran is a very young, educated, creative population. They often seem to be at odds with conservative authorities over issues like freedom of

expression, social freedoms and the use of social media. And when you look at this case, on the surface it looks like another case where you have

young Iranians seemingly having innocent fun -- singing, dancing, making a music video. And in come the hard-line authorities and arrest them

seemingly the same old narrative. But it's important to point out that in this case, authorities immediately released them after a brief questioning.

Again, that could be a sign that social freedoms are easing a little bit. As you mentioned, a similar thing happened last month when Iranians

were arrested after they made a music video on Pharell's song Happy. In this case, authorities said they discovered this music video was shot in

Iran and made it to satellite TV.

Again, you had men and women dancing together in the video, the women without the hijab, the Islamic headdress. Of course, in Iran, the law says

women and men cannot dance together in public. This is a law that was established after the 1979 Islamic revolution.

But anyone who knows Iran and its 2000 year old history knows that singing, dancing and generally having fun is steeped in Iranian culture.

However, Becky, that often conflicts and clashes with the more conservative values that are present in Iran today.

But an interesting case. Again, some signs that social restrictions are easing a little bit, but you have many journalists and dissidents and

pro-democracy activists who have been jailed who say, no, Iran still has a long way to go when it comes to social freedoms and human rights.

ANDERSON: Yeah, let's talk about the games themselves and whether anything is changing sort of on the ground, as it were, in public places.

I want to get our viewers to take a look at President Hassan Rouhani's presence online. This is Mr. Rouhani's Twitter page. Now he certainly

seems to be an avid poster. He maintains this account in English as well as one in Farsi. But Mr. Rouhani doesn't just use his account to post

about politics or official events. Last week, he uploaded this photo of himself watching Iran play Nigeria in the World Cup. He also appeared to

weigh in on the Happy video controversy with this post from a few weeks ago.

Mr. Rouhani retweeting a comment he made first last year saying, "happiness is our people's right. We shouldn't be too hard on behaviors

caused by joy."

Very briefly, are people given the chance to get together and gather and watch these guys? I know, Iran is now dropping out of the competition,

but what a game against Argentina the other day. How many people got to watch that together?

SAYAH: We observed several locations where that happened, where men and women gathered together in restaurants, eateries and cafes and watched

it despite a ban on that happening. And then you have the Twitter account, Mr. Rouhani, again signs that perhaps things are changing slowly here.

But when you talk to other Iranians, they'll tell you, Becky, that there's still a long way to go despite those positive signs.

ANDERSON: Reza Sayah is in Tehran for you this evening. Reza, thank you.

Coming up after this short break on Connect the World, let's get to Brazil for you for the very latest on the World Cup.

And if you've ever wonder what's happened to the football that you have lost on the beach or perhaps in the park, well wait until you see this

collection one artist has come up with.

ANDERSON: Well, Brazil safely through to the knockout stages of the World Cup. The host wrapped up a very comfortable 4-1 victory over

Cameroon to secure the top spot in their group. A special credit to Neymar who scored the 100th goal of this tournament in his country's 100th World

Cup match.

Brazil taking on Chile in the last 16 on Saturday.

Mexico joining Brazil in the knockout round after beating Croatia 3-1. They'll take on The Netherlands on Sunday. Two cracking matches to look

forward to.

Italy and Uruguay among those teams in actions Tuesday. Isa Soares is live from Rio with more.

Briefly, go on, what do you think?

Oh, I don't think I can hear you...

ISA SOARES, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Becky, you can repeat the question, sorry. You can hear me now. Can you hear me now, Becky?

ANDERSON: Italy-Uruguay?

Yep, I can hear you -- Italy-Uruguay.

SOARES: Italy-Uruguay it's a big game. It is the big game. It's starting in less than 10 minutes from now. It is the game -- they're

fighting it out for that second spot. If you remember, Costa Rica has the top spot. They're already qualified, although they're playing England.

But it will be a tough match for both of them.

Now, we know from the starting lineup that I can tell you that both Pirlo and Balotelli, Pirlo the man who holds all the strings in midfield,

he's playing for Italy. And Suarez and Cavani also playing as duo of strikers, deadly strikers for Uruguay.

Now, Becky, in terms of how these two countries stack up, Italy has a slight edge onto the goal difference, but so they -- all they need is a

But Uruguay actually needs to win. They need those three points if they want to progress to the next stage.

How they have fared in the past? Italy won the last match that took place here a the Confederation's Cup. he won 3-2 on penalties. The actual

match, though, the game was 2-2. So this to show you how tight it will be.

It is the match of the day and the one that everyone is looking forward to, Becky.

ANDERSON: That's right. Can England restore their pride with a new lineup tonight? That's also a big question. We haven't got time for the

answer to that.

The Spanish team, I believe, has also just arrived in Madrid. I don't suppose there were many people at the airport to welcome them home, next

time for them.

Thank you, Isa.

For every World Cup star like Neymar, there are countless amateurs taking to parks, beaches and elsewhere that they can find to play, of

Here's something you might not have thought about in the past, some of the balls that end up getting abandoned by those of us who haven't got a

decent shot can add up to what is a big problem for the environment.

In tonight's parting shots Mandy Barker shows us the rather ugly side of the beautiful game.

MANDY BARKER, ARTIST: My project is called Penalty. It came about from a social media request for people around the world to send washed up

marine debris footballs from as many different beaches as they could find.

So each ball kind of tells a story as to how and where it was found. I've had footballs sent to me from some beach cleaners in Kenya. I've had

a ball sent to me from a Kayaker in Guadalupe. South Africa, Robben Island. I mean, I was very specific to ask everybody who wanted to

(inaudible) a ball that it was definitely found in the sea, you know, it was definitely found on the shorelines.

One particular ball has the markings and mark of a place in Japan. And this is thought to have come across the Pacific Ocean in the tsunami.

A man contacted me on the west coast of Scotland. And he said I found 30 balls. And that was the time (inaudible) 50 balls, 70 balls, until it

reached 228 balls.

The overall mission for my work is to create awareness through the images I create. So I think if people are kind of amazed by what's out

there it will make them think twice about what happens to their toothbrush, their plastic fork, their computer, all those sorts of things.

Some of the balls have been found with bite marks in, pieces of balls seem to have been eaten by either turtles or fish.

I chose the name Penalty for the series. Obviously it has connotations with the football and penalties, but the main reason is the

penalty that we're going to face if we don't take action. And we don't wake up to the problem of marine plastic pollution.

ANDERSON: What a remarkable project.

The team at Connect the World always want to hear from you. Facebook./CNNconnect. You can get to the blog at CNN.com/connect. You can

tweet me as ever @BeckyCNN, that's @BeckyCNN. Search for us on Instagram, BeckyCNN. That piece that we've just seen will be on the blog soon.

I'm Becky Anderson. That was Connect the World. Thank you for watching. From the UAE, it's a very good evening.

A 49 year old South Jordan woman died when a load of cement forms fell on her while they were being unloaded.

On November 24, 2014, at 1104, Deputies with the Utah County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to a report of a woman who was injured when a stack of cement forms fell on her. The forms were on a flat bed, full size trailer from a tractor-trailer rig when they were being unloaded. The woman was standing on one side while the forms were being unloaded from the opposite side. As the stack was lifted it shifted and about 30 forms fell on her. The forms are about 2' x 8' and weigh about 70 pounds each. Witnesses immediately called 911 and began to remove the forms to free the woman. She suffered extensive injuries and medical personnel from Unified Fire Authority began treating her. LifeFlight responded but after attempting to revive the victim she was pronounced dead at the scene. The victim is Cynthia "Cindy" Weeks, age 49, of South Jordan. Her body was taken to the Medical Examiner's Office in Salt Lake City. There is nothing suspicious about the circumstances.

Two teens were killed after the driver of a pickup drifted into their lane and collided head on with their car. All involved were wearing seat belts.

On August 17, 2016, at about 1:53 AM, Deputies with the Utah County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to a report of a head on crash on SR-73 in Eagle Mountain near the intersection with Ranches parkway. The crash occurred when the driver of a Ford F-250 pickup, driving west, drifted over the center line and collided head on with a car that was driving east. The east bound car, a Ford Focus passenger car, was driven by Hailie Leeann Godfrey, age 18, of Eagle Mountain. Her passenger was Simon Olsen, age 18, also of Eagle Mountain. Godfrey and Olsen both appear to have died immediately as a result of the head on impact with the pickup. The driver of the pickup, Tanner Jace Evans, age 20, of Eagle Mountain, did not remember what happened. He was wearing a seat belt and sustained a minor head injury. He was treated at the scene of the crash. All three of the people involved in the crash were wearing seat belts. The cause of the crash is unclear but there is no immediate evidence that alcohol or drugs were a factor. The bodies of Godfrey and Olsen were taken to the Medical Examiner's office in Salt Lake City. This investigation remains active.

Blowfish overcome errors and win at Grayson

After the All-Star break, Lexington County set their sights on a win on the road at Grayson Stadium.  In an abbreviated 7-inning affair, the Blowfish led from start to finish and notched their third win of the second half.

Lexington County held on in the seventh winning 7-5.

The Blowfish got going in the top of the second. An error at second plated two runs to slingshot Lexington County in front 2-0. Then a two run Jared Williams (USC-Lancaster) single extended the Fish lead to 4-0.  Lexington County added a run on a steal play at second that allowed a run to come home at third. Blowfish held a 5-0 lead into the third.

Savannah cut into the Blowfish lead in the bottom of the third.  The Bananas got a run back on a Matt Pita (VMI) SAC fly that made it 5-1.

The Bananas added two more in the fourth.  Anthony Brocato (St. John’s) flied a SAC fly to bring in one.  Savannah added another on a bases loaded walk but that’s all they would get in the fourth.

At 5-3 Lexington County added to their lead in the top of the sixth.  Nick Guimbarda (Presbyterian College) plated two on a single back up the middle to give the Blowfish some much-needed insurance heading into the seventh.

In the bottom of the seventh, Savannah would load the bases and get a walk and hit batsman to cut the Blowfish lead back to 2.  Coach Jonathan Johnson would turn to Jimmy Townsend-Chase (Western Michigan) to shut the door on the Bananas with one out and bases still loaded.

All Townsend-Chase needed was two pitches to get Utah Jones (North Carolina) to bounce into a huge 6-4-3 double play to end it and secure the win for Lexington County.

The Blowfish overcame 6 errors in the ballgame and worked around the scare in the seventh to notch their third win in the second half and twelfth of the season.

Tomorrow night the Blowfish are back in action, once again on the road, at Sims Legion Park to take on the Gastonia Grizzlies. Coverage on z93.1 FM The Lake begins at 6:45 and first pitch from Gastonia is slated for 7:05.

Plant the Right Tree in the Right Place

Trees planted today are an investment in the future. A healthy community forest begins with careful planning. However, selecting the wrong tree for a site can result in significant pruning or removal, or serious electric service interruptions in the future. It is important to remember that no tree planting is allowed within a transmission ROW's Wire Zone.

Planting Guidance

ComEd recommends that customers use the Arbor Day Foundation’s “The Right Tree in the Right Place” guidebook which indicates that any trees planted within 20 feet on either side of pole-to-pole power lines have a mature height of less than 25 feet. This will ensure that as the tree grows, it will not require major trimming in the future.

View Guidebook (pdf)

Tall growing trees should be planted 50 feet from power lines. If tall-growing trees are planted under or directly adjacent to power lines, they may pose a risk to the reliable delivery of electricity as they mature and grow, and they can require significant pruning.

In some cases, when a customer desires to screen a view or provide a buffer between properties, shrubs are a better solution than trees. A “layered’ planting of small to medium trees with medium to large shrubs is a great way to screen unwanted views. The medium trees planted a minimum of 20 feet from the power poles can be flanked by shrubs on all sides to add interest and depth. The layers help conceal less than desirable views from your home.

There are a variety of trees and shrubs with heights of less than 25 feet which are compatible for planting under electric distribution lines. Note that specific conditions at each site should be considered, including the height of the power lines at the site. Trees should be placed so that as they mature, they will not grow into contact with the power lines.

It is important to remember that no tree planting is allowed within a transmission ROW's Wire Zone.

Graphic demonstrating that only trees and shrubs up to 25 ft are recommended within Wire Zones

Energy Saving Tips

With a little research and a simple layout, you can produce a landscape that will cool your home in summer and tame the worst winter winds. The Arbor Day Foundation Website provides excellent information on how to utilize trees and vegetation in your landscape to reduce your peak heating and cooling costs.

Tim and Jake hit the same spot they went to the day before. They still had decent fishing but only landed 19 for the day. Jake has some work at home to get done so they are taking off a day earlier then planned. My good friend Wayne and I played a little cards with them last night. Jake was the big winner and I told him next time I would be bringing the ringer my sweety ,Kellie the Hammer.
When I went to check on every one last night and top off the generators every one was bedded down or had the lights low so I did not find out how any of them did. Cory text this morning to give me a heads up the generator had quit for the second time this weekend. Turns out she is worn out and going through some oil. Last year the other 2500 generators charging system went out so it looks like Marty and I will be making two generators into one. She had a good life and both lasted 8 to 10 years respectively. I will be purchasing a used or new eu 2000 this week. Any one out there with a good used eu 2000 for sale give me a shout. Today after saying good bye to Cory and his family I will be moving Florida on to fresh ice for Brian and his crew tomorrow. Should be interesting out there today watching all the wheel leave the lake being towed by wheelers.

About Recorders Of Deeds

How far back do Recorder of Deeds records go?

Typically, the records held by a Recorder of Deeds date back to the incorporation or formation of the county or local government. While all records are available in books or on microfilm, records included in computerized indexes and databases may be limited to more recent documents.

How can a name on a deed be changed, added, or deleted?

A name can only be altered on a deed by recording a new deed with the change. An existing deed cannot be modified. A new deed is usually prepared with the assistance of an attorney.

What is the cost of recording a deed?

The cost of recording a deed varies from one locality to the next. Typically, deed recording fees are based on the number of pages in the document, with a flat fee for the first page or two and an additional separate per page fee.
