Tuesday 07/28/2015
Journalists Ken Belson and Rachel Nichols report on NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's decision to uphold Tom Brady's four game suspension for his alleged role in "Deflategate." Brett McGurk, deputy special envoy for the Coalition Against ISIS, explains the negotiations with Turkey that resulted in allowing U.S. warplanes to use Turkish bases to target ISIS groups in Syria. Later, former U.S. ambassador to Turkey Francis Ricciardone and Middle East scholars Steven Cook, Henri Barkey, and David L. Phillips further examine Turkey's motivations behind allowing the U.S. to use their bases for airstrikes against ISIS.
