TRANSCRIPT Editor’s note: In the news summary Thursday, Gwen Ifill said more than 100 people died in the measles outbreak last year. GWEN IFILL: State lawmakers in California moved today to impose one of the nation’s strictest vaccination laws. The House gave final approval today to renewing a job training program. The vote clears the way for the administration to return to negotiating an Asian free trade deal. The deadline for finishing a nuclear deal with Iran is Tuesday, but 18 leading national security figures have their doubts. Otherwise, they say, the talks may fall short of the administration’s own standard of a good agreement, a warning that brought this White House response. JOSH EARNEST , White House Press Secretary: The letter essentially lays out the kind of criteria that is broadly consistent with the framework that was announced back in April. And the president was crystal-clear that the only kind of final agreement we would reach is one that fulfills the principles that have previously been agreed to. GWEN IFILL: U. S. officials suggested the June 30 deadline could slip by a short bit... Greece also faces a looming deadline, for a new bailout deal, but negotiations appear stuck. Source: www.pbs.org
