He says he'll veto a sanctions bill if it comes to his desk. He's urging Congress not to pursue new sanctions while talks are underway. He says there's no good argument for undermining the negotiations. Obama says if the talks collapse, there will be no constraint on Iran moving ahead with its nuclear program.

Bratton says more officers will be trained like the NYPD's elite Emergency Services Unit, which responds to the most dangerous situations, from shootings to terror attacks.
