appear >> >> hello. welcome to al jazeera. hundreds remain unaccounted for in colorado as the state deals with widespread flooding. >> the threat of force is real. >> the u.s. wants damascus to keep its word as the u.s. secretary-general prepares to detail a report on the use of chemical weapons in syria. >> harvard economist and former secretary summers bows out for the running of the fed chairman job. and remembering four girls killed in birmingham in a church.

>> good to have you with us. we begin in colorado, where rescue teams have been working around the clock to save thousands from record-breaking floods. hundreds are unaccounted for. heavy rains grounded rescue helicopters. sunday president obama signed an emergency declaration. fima is asking for more counties to be added to the list. how many people are unacted for. we are joined by tamara banks. >> several hundred. you can see behind me the helicopters. they are not going anywhere. it's been raining off and on all day. emotions are running high - all the way from the residents to the sheriff. this place looks like a war

zone. they've gone through a tough time and have a tough road ahead. four are dead, one dead in alpaso county and two missing presumed dead in larama. there are 500 unaccounted for in larama county. 16 chopers are standing by waiting to help, but the rain is too bad to fly. some have been trapped for days with no food and water. the good news is 7,000 people have been evacuated due to the raging flood. as you mentioned earlier, president obama ordered three counties get federal help and the governor is asking for 12 more counties to get aid. this rain has not let up all day and is raining up from fort colins, south of denver. >> this is a huge area.

we are talking about tough terrain. have there been problems with evacuations? >> just getting to the people is the tough part. because of the floodwaters folks have been told not to get in their cars and drive away as it's impossible with the road. with the rain, the helicopters can't fly. the folks are stuck without much food or water. they are really holding their breath. they are hoping for better weather tomorrow. >> there's a couple of hours of daylight. will rescue efforts continue into the night? >> they can if they can get to the folks, they will, as long as they can get to the folks. a lot of folks stuck are isolated by the flooding water. so they are doing their best to hang on. >> what do you hear from local forecasters - are rains expected to let up any time soon? >> no. that is the scary thing. they are not expected to let up soon. they may go well into tomorrow afternoon. it will be a while before the

rains subside. after that the floodwater has to recede and disappear. they'll be expecting possibly more death tolls and the damage will take weeks, if not months to put a price tag on the cost of the flooding, the floods. >> tamara banks in fort colins colorado, thank you. >> a developing story - former treasury secretary lauren summers withdrew his candidacy for federal reserve chairman, president obama accepted the decision saying summers is a critical member of his economic team. summers was the leading candidate to replace ben be bernanke. >> the deal with syria has been touted as a victory. moscow is backing a 9-month program to destroy bashar

al-assad's chemical weapons. >> secretary of state john kerry will discuss it with french, british, turkish and saudi saudi counterparts. >> the team is not spected to say who carried out the chemical weapons attack. the west blames it on bashar al-assad. he denies it. syrian rebels plotting to overthrow assad rejected the u.s.-russia deal. >> president obama is defending the chemical weapons agreement. some of his political foeses and fellow developments are expressing doubt. we have this report from washington. >> president obama parring on abc's this week, says a remarkable distance has been travelled in a short period of

time to prevent another chemical weapons attack in syria, but acknowledges we are not there yet. russian president voout t -- voout yin is accused of -- vladimir putin is accused of protecting bashar al-assad. >> this is not the cold war, this is not a contest between the united states and russia. the fact of the matter is that if russia wants to have some influence in syria, post assad - that doesn't hurt our interests >> republican senator john mccain can't disagree more. >> it's a loser. it gives russia a position in the middle east which they hadn't had in the 1970s. we are depending on the goodwill of the russia people it if bashar al-assad violates the agreement. i am of the firm believe, given

his record, that is a very, very big gamble. >> democrats in congress are voicing skepticism about the implementation. >> this is a break through full of opportunity and frought with danger. the frought part is assad - who has not said whether he has signed on to this agreement ultimately - if he moves forward with some of the beginning elements of the agreement - doesn't fulfil elements of the agreement as we move along. >> the majority of americans oppose the possibility of military action in syria, but the administration says the threat of force spurred negotiations and secretary of state john kerry said in meetings in jerusalem, it is still on the table. >> the threat of force is real, and the assad regime and all those taking part need to understand that president obama and the united states are

committed to achieve this goal. we cannot have hollow words in the conduct of international affairs. because that affects all other issues - whether iran or north korea or any other. >> israeli prime minister benyamin netanyahu says it is particularly important that iran, with its nuclear ambitions, sees the coupling of diplomacy and a credible military threat. >> the determination of the international community shows, regarding syria, will have a direct impact on the syrian regime's patron, iran. >> in his interview president obama said the agreement on syrian chemical weapons should show the iranians that diplomacy has potential. but, he says, a nuclear iran is close it u.s. interests. iran shouldn't draw the conclusion that because the u.s. hasn't hit syria, that it won't hit them.

>> the international institute for counterterrorism released a report on syrian chemical weapons and the danger of them falling into the hands of terrorist groups. the report, which was confirmed by the french government, found that syria accumulated a stockpile of approximately 1,000 tonnes of chemical weapons, that can be used in a variety of ways, including aerial bombs, artillery shells, rockets, ballistic weapons or tube or rocket artillery rounds. the weapons are stored in 50 different city, predominantly in the northern part of the country, in four different types of facilities - production, research and development, duel infrastructure and storage. >> to discuss removing the chemical weapons in syria is a director of trench, a reference initiative focussing on chemmial weapon disarmament. good to have you with us.

i want to talk about the time line. we are talking about cramming a five or six year profit in a few months. is the timeline realistic? >> it depend how they go about it. if one looks at traditional destruction and methods employed as part of the chemical weapons convention, it would be difficult simply because of the time needed to get the installations in place. constructing a destruction facility is probably completely out of bounds. mobile insinerators may be taken to the country. however, the big question is whether there is going to be a solution whereby you take the lead, and perhaps we might see a situation similar as with the united nations special commission in iraq during the 1990s. >> so in detail, let's talk about the different options. this will not be an easy

process. how will they go been about destroying the chemical weapons. >> well, this is very open. as i have said, there are a variety of options available. but one of the processes that could be looked into and that would definitely meet the deadlines is trying to neutralise the chemical warfare agents so as to render them unusable on the battlefield and render the different munitions unusable by taking out, for example, the explosive charge, drilling holes in them, destroying them in a variety of ways. the same can be done with equipment in production and research facilities. >> part of the agreement says the destruction of these chemical weapons will take place outside of syria. is this possible. >> the document itself says this is an option, that the

negotiators in geneva would want it investigated, and it uses the word if possible. in my mind, from a purely legal point of view, this is not possible. the chemical weapons convention in its first article, the most fundamental article of the convention says that other states party to the convention cannot receive in any way chemical weapons, because syria has deposited its instrument of ratification, it cannot transfer chemical weapons to other recipients. in that way we are in a bind. >> do you say it's not possible. what are the other options if we can't transfer these other weapons. ? >> the basic option, as is the case in all other parties to the chemical weapons convention that had chemical weapons at one point, is to destroy it on the territory of the state itself - that is, within syria. >> what happens if they can't

meet the deadline, if they can't destroy or disarm the chemical weapons. what happens next? >> first and foremost the deadline is part of a political agreement between russia and the united states. the agreement calls for the opcw, the organisation for the prohibition of chemical weapons, to meet as soon as possible and probably towards the end of next week the executive council is going to meet to discuss the options. that particular body is going to decide on actual deadlines, and all the conditions that syria needs to meet. that proposal, afterwards, is going to be taken to the un security council for endorsement. >> dr jean zanders, director of the trench - appreciate your time. >> back at home, 50 years ago four black girls lost their

lives while attending church in the south. >> alabama remembered the tragedy with a bell-ringing ceremony. jessie jackson and attorney-general eric holder ended the service today. >> holder and former secretary of state condoleezza rice spoke about the tragedy. >> when i was secretary of state i used the american example when i talked to people trying to find their way to democracy - peopling having difficulties overcoming long-held historical senses of aggrievement and wrong. i say, "i don't look at the united states in rose coloured glasses. i grew up in a family where my family couldn't take me to a movie theatre and restaurant." they convinced me if i couldn't have lunch at woolworths, i could be president of the united

states. >> raylene johnson explains how the birmingham bombing changed our nation ux. >> on a quiet sunday morning it was youth day in birmingham at the baptist church. the quiet was shattered when a bomb ripped through the black church, killing four young girls. >> you just don't believe anybody would be that mean and unkind. >> 14-year-old addy may colins, carol robinson, cynthia morse and denise mcmayer all died. four members of the local kkk were responsible. for maxine, denise's mother the memories of burying her child are fresh. >> i was just kind of numb. this belief just felt like pinching myself saying, "you're not here, you're not here." get

up and go out the door and go home. >> the 16th street bombings increased racial tension in segregated birmingham. the killing shocked the nation and held galvanised support for civil rights around the country. dr martin loouther king junior spoke at some of the funerals. lisa mcnair never met her older sister. >> my first memory is my sister was killed by white people. you carry that around wondering why. >> four lives lost. the result of racial hatred and a mark on history not forgotten. >> when we come back nearly four months after a portion of the collapse, the washington state bridge reopens. still to come - an election battle for a country with a bloody path.

why going to polls may not bring change to roou wandans.

>> welcome back to al jazeera. after four months people are crossing the washington bridge. a section collapsed in may after an oversized truck hit it, sending two vehicles into the water. the bridge carries 70,000 vehicles a day and is part of the main transportation route between seattle and vancouver. >> at least a dozen people are dead, thousands evacuated after twin storms sweep mexico's

storeline. hurricane ink -- ink rid and tropical storm mann wul. >> the storms marred celebrations for mexico's independence day set for today and tomorrow. rebecca, you say ingrid could reach the mexican main line on mond monday. >> that's what we are looking at. it's taking a westward turn. we look at the satellite over mexico - there two storms, one on the east, one on the west. moonual -- manual is the electrontrop electronical storm -- tropical storm, we'll have a lot of mud slides and floodings going on. when we look at how the storms

will impact the united states, we look at the amount of moisture within the storms, and it is excessive, but we are not going to see the bulk of the rain hit the states. we'll get plenty of showers and thunder storms hit the tip of texas. you can see the showers skirting through, through brownsville and corpus christy, and showers north, closer to, as we get towards austin and south of austin. now, as we go to the probability of rain fall, you see the darker areas agreeing that's where we'll have the likely spots of showers and storms for the next 24 hours. it's very much focused in southern texas. coming up - the warnings issued for the state as well. >> thank you. in the philippines government forces are pushing to retake portions the southern city of zamboagna. rebel forces seized parts of a town and hold captured civilian

hostages. >> this is the worst of times for this woman and her family. a few days ago fighters from the moro national liberation front released her and her daughters after they were held hostage for four days. her husband and son are still being held. >> translation: we lived a simple life. we are poor but used to live in peace. why did they do this to us? >> she says the mlf fighters tied them up and used them as human shields against government forces. she remembers her brother's last words. >> translation: please don't run, they'll shoot you. obey. so i did. >> they hold on to hope that they are still alive. >> it's been a week since the crisis began. the mlf is holding a number of civilians hostage in the city of

the philippines. the mlf is the implementation of a 1999 peace agreement, they are demanding the implementation of it. it was never fully implemented. they are wanting peace talks with another group of islamic fighters, declaring independence from the philippines. the philippine government is doing the best it can to secure the lives of those taken hostages. many are skeptical. it is unknown whether negotiations are under way. human rights observers say the situation is getting worse. at least 70,000 people have been displaced. that's 10% of the city's population. >> the little kids will inherit violent prejudice, and biases, and you can feel that. no matter how people try to cover up. >> zamboagna used to be a peaceful, thriving community.

now the impact of this conflict may affect many of the people here long after the last bullet is fired. >> it's been nearly 20 years since rwanda's bloody genocide. the country goes to the polls in an election tomorrow. the opposition party says they've been shut out of the political process. the president says the government is trying to avoid political conflicts and violence. we have this report from kigali. >> the closing campaign route for the rwandan patry otic front had the feel of inevitability about it - the celebration of an outcome nobody doubts. the rpf will win the parliamentary election, and win it overwhelmingly. it's critics say that is bus

roou wanna is a one-party stake. the rpf crushes its constitution. they say it's not true and point to democracy. >> this group - the freedom of expression. >> the social democratic party is the closest rwanda has to an opposition - winning 14% of the last election and hopes to do better this time. the leader says the party has the space to campaign, that intimidation is not an issue. >> this is democracy rwandan style. he says their role is not to oppose. >> democracy - we bring in a program. we bring forward our ideas and if we can convince others of the ideas, that is good.

>> the critics complain that the space for political opposition narrowed. there are examples of intimidation that needs investigating. anyone that complains about adversarial politics - rhawandans tried for it, it turned out badly. the genno side museum records the consequences of a political system dividing the country along ethnic lines, and used it to hide a tribal contest for political power. >> from that time rhawandans understood that we need to think differently. in most cases when you have elections you have violence because democratics expressions are hijacked by ethnic distrim gnatry people. >> the ruling party supporters celebrate an election that will keep the status quo. rhawandans seem ready to continue their experiment, what

the rpf calls the politics of consensus. >> the biggest boxing match of the year turned out to be a clinic. michael joins us with the spords headlines. it was a one- -- sports headlines - it was a one-sided affair. it was supposed to be tough for floyd mayweather, but he made easy work of saul canelo alvarez in las vegas. the majority decision improved floyd mayweather's career record to 45 and 0, supporting his case that he is the best pound for pound fighter. in football. xavier glowney suffered heel spurs but will fight through the pain. he's expected to be the number one overall draft pick, and has been plagued by bone spurs since high school. >> in the nfl pakkers avoided

falling by handing washington its second-straight loss to open the season with a 38-20 win, aaron rogers flowing from 400 yards and four touch downs. in 20 minutes, scores in highlights from week 2 of the nfl season. >> still to come on al jazeera - dealing with disaster - rain continues to fall in colorado as officials try to find hundreds of people that are unaccounted for.

>> welcome back to al jazeera. here is a look at your headlines in this hour. un-secretary-general is expected to detail a report from weapons inspectors on the use of chemical weapons in syria. a deal has been reached to get the nation to hand over chemical weapons. mounting opposition seems to have forced lawrence summers out of the running for chairman of the federal reserve bank bank. harvard economist and former secretary treasurer withdrew his name. hundreds are unacted for in colorado's flooding. authorities say floodwaters left many people without means of communication. at least five people are presumed dead.

>> more rain hit colorado today and the weather grounded 16 helicopters that had been brought in for rescues. a aircrews had been planning airlifts. only ground crews are currently able to operate. president obama signed a disaster disaster regulation on sunday. it covered three foundies. fima is asking for 12 more to be added. >> russia and the u.s. look for a diplomatic solution if the crisis. turkey is skeptical. leaders say they doubt syria will truly get rid of chemical weapons. we have had report. >> tush ki's border with sooeria is long. the government has left itself exposed. disappointed at the

changing international opinions it expressed a pledge for syria to get rid of chemical weapons. >> translation: the assad regime has not lived up to any promises. >> there's plenty at stake for turkey, pushing for regime change. it gave support for the opposition. >> if they take the chemical away, who will save the rest of the children in syria, by killing them by jet fighters. >> for the past would weeks syria's jittery neighbour sent forces to the border area. unlike the deposit the majority of the people do not want turkey to be involved in the conflict across the border. thousands of refugees have been streaming into the country, straining resources. with half a million syrian refugees here, the government says it spent $2 billion to support them.

even if the syrian government signs an anti-chemical weapons treaty, it's not likely to end their plight. >> translation: we had been hoping things would improve. we have lost all hope. it's a new game. >> translation: the damage has been done. many people have died. my brother, my cousin - will this bring them back? >> an ongoing refugee crisis stalled the process at an unfavourable public opinion. the turkish government is finding itself in a difficult position, which critics say is a foreign policy setback. >> a string of bombings in iraq killed more than 40 people on sunday. the attacks targeted shia areas in a center south of the country. the deadliest explosions were in hilla. two car bombs killed 15 people. it's a latest in a surge of

sectarian violence. somalia is struggling two years after a famine killed more than 2 million people. aid donated $8 million for the crisis. we look at how money raised for fam join relief has been sent. >> two years till the end of somalia's worst famine, there's no end to the number of people starving. here is a new arrival. she fled from her town, 700km south-west of mogadishu. >> i came here in search of food. we have no livestock, no energy to grow our own food. like our neighbours, we were forced to flee. >> most of the displaced are from areas controlled by alshab abb fighters. their journey is overflowing by

those from the 2011 famine. there are 500 camps for displaced people in and around the capital. they are not receiving help. >> we have not seen agencies coming to assist us - be it local or international. when we go to the un officers, they fear coming to our camps. >> somalia has been a failed state and the scene of one of the world's worst humanitarian crisis and efforts to gethelp to those who need it most are hampered by the violence. in a statement the united nations in somalia told al jazeera that donor support flowed into somalia following the phammin helped millions. the appeal received $858 million in 2011. $400 million was raised outside

the appeal. officia officials, however, doubt whether the funds have been put to proper use. >> translation: from my experience not all the funds raised for this country are used for the intended purposes. we are working on a policy to ensure aid to somalia is monitored. >> corruption is not a new thing. >> some articlies and foreigners manufacture crisis to benefit. aid agencies spoke of gatekeepers. vulnerable populations were essentially kept hostage by people and organisations who were taking a cut of assistance they received. >> in its latest analysis of the country's humanitarian situation, the u.s. says 807,000 somalis are needing help. it seems unlikely that somalia's

cycles of hunger will end as long as the country remains it turmoil. >> joining me from barcelona. she is the chair of the board of directors at transparency international. they are an organisations that monitor political and corporate corruption. good to have you with us. we have a lot to talk about here. what are the key lessons to be learned from somalia and haiti to make sure funds are better spent in the refugee camps? >> well, first of all i'm glad to be with you and i'd like to preface my comments which saying when you have situations like this, the world community has to rally, and be generous and share what they have, we cannot be naive. if you deal with a failed state and a corrupt country you have

to be selected to identify and deliver the humanitarian assistance. we have usually about three phases. the first being during, let's say a natural disaster when people - you have to save the people who might be under rebels and so on, and treat those you save. then you go to the refugee camps and shelter, ensuring that food, medicine and a roof or shelter and eventually restriction. you have to select the partners that will deliver the assistance in a way that you have a track record to make sure that the resources go for the purpose intended. but at the same time, i think you have to have a way of following the money, following the resources, whether it be food, blankets, medicine and to

have independent monitoring by experts who will not just look at paper, but follow what's from the beginning to the end. >> you talk about rallying the world, getting everybody on board. how do you begin the process and make sure the funds get to where they are supposed to go? >> well, first of all, when you have a disaster somewhere, or a conflict situation when people are dying, usually people are generous around the world. but, you know, they want to make sure that the money they give will go to saving lives, and rebuilding the institutions and the country. so as i was mentioning before, what you need is to select your partners - whether it is medicines defrontier or the red

cross as another example of two organisations that are trustworthy. but then, you have to have independent monitoring. identify forensic auditors, for example, that you hire to monitor the whole process from beginning to end, and make sure that, you know, the resources go to the purpose intended. if it is medicine, that the medicine are not diverted in the hands of individuals who will sell them, but go directly to the people who need them. the same thing with food, because it's easy to divert food and sell it on the market. then individuals make money as a result. this is an important - i think another important part is for these trusted well - you know, well-trusted and with a good track record institutions, that you encourage them toll higher the local people so that you can train and you can create drones

for the local people, so they are not left to be at the mercy of mersanaries or garelers or others trying to use them for other purposes. >> we'll have to leave you there. the chair of the board of directors at transparency international - appreciate your time today. >> thank you. >> it's been five years since lehmann brothers collapsed, the first domino in the global financial crisis. kat turner looks at wall street's troubled past. >> september 15, 2008. the mighty investment firm lehmann brothers files for bankruptcy leaving 25,000 employees without a job. >> it's terrible. they are grabbing their stuff. >> the collapse set off a domino affect. >> we are down to 43%. >> what is happening on wall street. >> 190 to 166 in the blink of an

eye. >> the u.s. housing market imploded, homes were foreclosed. unemployment numbers soared as businesses laid off millions. president obama signed off on a $700 billion bail out for banks and companies and vowed to overall financial regulationsism. >> we do not choose how the crisis began, but we have a choice and legacy of what the crisis leaves behind. >> what does it look like five years later? edward williams used to be an investment banker and has a first-hands experience of the industry's punitive. >> it's not just wall street, it's the elected leaders and the judges who allowed this kind of thing to remain so deeply embedded in the cult your. lehmann brothers and bear staerns are gone. merrill lynch was absorbed by bank of america. for most of the big banks it's

like the financial crisis never happened. jp morgan made $6.1 billion profit, up 32%. wells fargo reported a profit of $5.2 billion, up 20%, and posting gains was citigroup, receiving tens of billions in taxpayer bail out money, making $4.18 billion. up 32%. the economy is improving. millions of americans are struggling. >> others are relying on consumer debt, credit cards and other debt to pay basic living expenses and relying on food stamps, meddy cade and other benefits. this include workers working full time in many cases. >> the question now - could september 2008 happen again? >> banks are reducing the number - the amount of cash they are holding in order to protect against another crash. that basically is a recipe for

disaster. the big apple will be one the biggest important financial cities in the world. for the 2008 economic meltdown, systems fuelled by corporate greed and a government unable or unwilling to rain it in. >> vice president joe biden appeared at one of iowa's biggest democratic fundraising events. he spoke at senator tom harkin's annual party. six candidates, including president obama attended the steak fry in 2007. >> still to cojme - preparing to right a wrong. italian officials are ready to start a salvage of the "costa cordia." late game hero. >>, exciting finishes in week two of the nfl season. next we have sport.

>> welcome back to al jazeera. the most spectacular salvage operation in history begins tomorrow over the giglio island. efforts will begin to raise the sunken "costa cordia." >> 114,000 tonne, the length of three football fields. moving the "costa cordia" is an immense task and has to be done in one piece. after 20 months lying in the waters off giglio island, salvage workers will try to right the wreck in what is known as parbuckling. the ship is resting on rock, hold in place by computer controlled steel cables. workers built a platform to hold the ship's weight. to do that they have attacked medal flotation tanks to the hull.

the cables will tighten and the ship will be pulled upright, helped by the weight of the tanks. this delicate operation will take up to 12 hours, involving 500 workers. they have one chance to rotate the ship as there is no plan b. the costs of this so far, the most ambitious salvage operation is $800 million. if the tension causes the ship to break up a flood of food and passengers rubbish could flow out to the waters. environmentalists have taken measures to prevent that, they hope. >> translation: it will, of course, have an impact on tourism if something goes wrong. we are confident sips -- since a lot of analysis has been done. >> once upright the focus will be on finding the bodies of two victims missing. they were among 32 who died and

could have been thrown overboard and pinned under the ship. people on the island of giglio have given their blessing for the operation, but will have to live with the wreck until next summer. >> the u.s. coastguard hoisted two men to safety after their boat capsized off the coast of florida. they were resting on the hull of the boat. they told rescuers they'd drifted at sea for eight days. they were taken to a medical center for further treatment. >> week 2 of the nfl season saw teams places play-off implications. michael joins us. it's early, but a good indication. >> it's early, but the games matter when you play only 16. over the last four seasons 30 teams started the season 0 and

2, not one made the playoffs. streaks like records are made to be broken. the trend loomed large over several teams. including washington and green bay, who both came into today's meet in atlambo field after dropping season openers. this was all green bay. the pakkers jumping out to a lead thanks to aaron rogers touch down passes. rogers finished with 480 passing yards. there were three touch done passes in the second, but the pakkers won 38-20. in philadelphia the eagles looked to improve dropping charges to owens. the game full of swings. santiago led, to see philly take a 27-23 lead in the fourth. michael vic finished with 450 yards offence, three touch downs, two passing and one of the rushing here on this play.

but, it was philip rivers who conducted two 4-quarter scoring drives, the last ending with a drive by nick novak, giving the charges 33-30 win. rivers threw for 419 yards and three touchdowns in that game. in chicago, it was nfc central battle between the bears and vikings. minnesota was poised for victory. it helps when you take the opening kick off all the way back for the touch down for the ear early 7-0 need. jake completed seven pass, 293 yards and three touch downs and intercepted twice. blair gave the vikings a lead, only to see cutler march the bears down the field, connecting with marr tellise on a 16 yard touch down, giving

chicago a 31-30 come from behind win. the bears unbeaten under new head coach mark tresman. how about the cowboys, tony robow. he finished 30 of 42, i should say, for 29 yards and two touch downs. of the chiefs were determined it give andy reid a win. the chiefs had the lead for good. solid defense. kansas city win, 2 and 0 for the second time in 2005. in buffalo the bills hosted the panthers. there was two touch downs. there was 100 yards, fred jackson scored a touch down. karolina led right. bill's rookie quarter back led an 80 game drive.

buffalo in wins 24-23. denver regained the lead over the giants 26-16. in this game peyton manning became of third player. now to college football. dave young clowney says his season will be plagued by bone spurs, because he's going to wait until after the season to have surgery to correct the issue. clowney, expected to be the number one overall pick in the nfl draft says he's been bothered by bone spurs since high school, but the pain is continuing to get worse through the years. now boxing. for years floyd mayweather has contended loudly that he's the best pound for pound fighter in boxing history. whether you are a fan or not, it's harder to disagree with his

argument. in las vegas, in what was considered floyd mayweather's toughest test - he systematically defeated unbeaten saul canelo alvarez in a majority decision, 232 punches to is 17 punches for saul canelo alvarez. -- 117 punches for saul canelo alvarez. most experts called it a clinic. the surprise of the night the score card of judge cj ross who scored the fight a draw to the dismay of everyone, especially the champ. >> i thought it was a joke. i was kind of shocked, you know. i'm not the judge. my job is to go out, fight, leave the fight in the judge's hands. i wanted the knock out. things happened. me and saul canelo alvarez bumped arms, could have been the fifth. i hurt my elbow, and i stopped using my elbow. me being a true champion. >> continued to use my jab. >> saul canelo alvarez was

whooped. who can beat floyd mayweather. it doesn't seem like anyone is capable of doing it. >> he's going strong, he's 36. >> 36, he made $40 million, could be $50 million. >> can't wait for the next one. imagine having a name that's 35 letters long, a last name too long to fit on your drivers possess licence. jess's 19 silla bill surname won't fit on her identification card and the last letter of her name was dropped and didn't include the first or middle name. she partitioned officials to allow room for her entire rain. >> what is the weather going to look like. rebecca stevenson has you covered in just a bit. stay with us. ç]
