good evening everyone. welcome to al jazeera america. i'm john siegenthaler, in new york. no apology - that's the u.s. response after spying accusations from european allies. millions needing help - the battle syrians face from disease, hunger and violence - with winter around the corner. >> medical history - the first case of hiv remission in a child. how it happened - and can doctors do the same for other. >> pet protection - now the federal government makes sure pet food is safe.

[ ♪ theme ] it has been a week of anger and distrust from several of america's important allies, demanding answers and action over the latest spying allegations against the u.s. germany and france proposed setting up new rules to regulate spying. nine members of the european parliament are spected in washington to question u.s. intelligence officials. german spy chiefs are planning a trip to washington to meet with white house and nsa officials. mike viqueira is at the white house. >> u.s. officials are not commenting publicly on the allegations of spying on close allies, including the cell phone of german chancellor angela merkel. the president has been on the phone with francis hollande of france, and german chancellor angela merkel. one thing that is not done in public is apologising for what has transpired, even as they don't deny it could have taken

place in the past. the u.s. officials say it gathers foreign intelligence of the type gather the by all nations. here is the state department spokeswoman on friday. >> we'll factor in the views of friends and partners as we have the discussions with them and balance security needs with privacy concerns. we fully expect - this is another question that came up of course - that more allegations will surface given the quantity of classified information leaked by edward snowden. >> u.s. officials say they are reviewing intelligence-gathering procedures as the intelligence counterparts will come to washington. the national security spokesperson would only say the united states will engage bilaterally. it was a tight lipped response.

>> top documents seem to agree it's no secret the u.s. spies on other countries. many of the european nations who are complaining have long cooperated closely with american-led spying missions. shihab rattansi has more from washington. >> privacy became a concern... >> a conference in washington on history of the u.s. surveillance state, coming on the day leaders expressed outrage at the u.s. surveillance of them. among them posters warning of the dangers of eaves dropping during world war ii. the germans now are raising the alarm. the u.s. has never been secret in its policy - if you are not a u.s. citizen, the obama administration feels it has every right to monitor your communications. >> they are no doubt at the reach of the national security agency. >> it appears the united states

deposit feels it can do what it wants. >> a former government contractor turned whistleblower edward snowdenise european leaders have been complicit in the drag net of communications, despite the outrage now that their phone calls have been monitored. there's a suggestion of more to come. >> obama administration announced the other day that they weren't sure if edward snowden had documents that might reveal the degree of other nation's cooperation with nsa surveillance. it's a not to subtle signal saying before you raise too much outrage, know your dirt may be out on the newspaper's front page soon as well. >> a european delegation arrives in washington next week for talks on the extent. nsa surveillance, not just on its citizens, but political and business leaders as well. joining us now is andrew borene, a member of the defense council at the truman national

security project. welcome. >> thanks for having me, john. appreciate it. greetings from minnesota. >> isn't the nature of spying no regulations? >> well, i think that every agency in the world is collecting as much information as they can, not only on enemies, but adversaries and competitors. the united states is the most regulated intelligence community within world history and is governed not only by constitutional states but the three branches of the u.s. federal government. >> if germany tapped president obama's cell phone, would he be upset about it? >> i think between friendly alliances - as long as there has been foreign policy and diplomacy, there has been effort at intelligence collection. i think what you raise as a hypothetical - that is not

directly relevant in this situation. but certainly all countries in today's modern age of information flow and hi tech intelligence collection are aware that collection on their high-level political leaders is a possibility. >> let me try again - where do you draw the line? >> i think it's really important in this case to remember that these disclosures have all been part of a concerted and deliberate effort to compromise u.s. national security information and embarrass the united states and damage relationships that the united states has with highly valued allies, specially those in the e.u., such as general -- germany france and other alliances >> i give you that. is there a point where the united states should not go - when you are talking about the chancellor of germany - should you really be listening in to her private conversations on her cell phone?

>> it's important to remember that these are allegations. it's also important to remember that the world community at large needs to remember where this information is coming from, and who is, i guess, perpetuating and propagating many of these allegations. it is a group of people who have compromised national security through criminal activity and are working to embarrass the nation and damage alliances that do all kinds of important work for national security, not just terrorism, but fighting human traffic gs, organised crime, information-sharing alliances across the atlantic and among the allies is as old as the national security infrastructure. >> you heard jay carney say this week say, "we are not listening to her phone now or in the future", but he wouldn't say that the u.s. hadn't done it in the past. the answer we heard is, "well, everyone has done it." does that

make it okay? >> i think you raise an important point, and that is in the world of foreign affairs, diplomacy and intelligence collection, all kinds of things happen. civilised, western nations are aware of what a lot of technological capabilities are. it is certainly embarrassing, and i think it is reflective of a deliberate set of attacks to embarrass the united states and damage very important alliances. and the people that benefit from this are people like organised criminals, terrorists and human traffickers - exactly the kind of people that we need to collaborate across the atlantic between the united states and the e.u. to continue to fight. mycin seer hope is that this -- my sincere hope is that this does not damage the important security relationships - although it is embarrassing. >> it makes you wonder whether

any secrets are secret - given our technology? >> that is a question for the modern age. we need to investigate what are the motives behind some of these people - and i say people and individuals. it increasingly appears as though there may be complicity with anti-we were or democratic influence with a lot of revelations. where are the revelations... >> you are talking about edward snowden. >> i'm talking about edward snowden, the people that exploited then this. c -- then pc manning. people that worked to protect their own secrets, working with anti-democratic regimes that punish journalists that imprison political opponents, that are the enemies of human rights. i would hope that our allies in europe recognise that the alliances that defend human

rights are those alliances with the united states. >> it's a fascinating question. i don't think it will be settled soon. great to talk to you. andrew borene in minnesota. thanks. >> thank you for having me, john. >>. disease, hunger and violence, the humanitarian crisis in syria is getting worse as the country braces for another winter at war. nicole johnston reports. >> this is a residential area of damascus - a typical suburb. on friday a car bomb exploded outside a mosque. it's difficult to find out how many people died. there were reports that it was more than 40. this video can't be independently verified. still the united nations humanitarian chief has told the security council there are 2.5 million people in syria who need help, but can't get it. the agencies appeal for aid has failed. >> i need the political support

of the security council members, but also other members of the united nations to really make a difference. >> months of fighting has destroyed syria's basic infrastructure. roads, power and sanitation. that creates another huge problem - the threat of disease. the world health organization is warning there could be an outbreak of polio and more than 20 people may have it already. the united nations is increasing its vak sination programs. >> routine immunisation systems are critical - they've been disrupted or broken down. children are at higher risks of diseases such as polio and meselfles. >> parents have enough to worry about - and now the possibility that children could be struck down by december. the chance of getting hep in

this war is slim. >> the group save the children say a fifth of families are going without food in syria one week of a month. journalists don't get access to the hard-hit regions, that makes the work of my next correspondent it important. we talk to rasha, we use her first name and talk to her in shadow. she talks about a tale of two cities in damascus. >> depends where you live and often where your id says you are from. if you live in one of the besieged areas around damascus city it's becoming so difficult now just to find enough food to scrape by. i spent two days in one of these towns. life there is very difficult, each though they managed to smuggle some food in, some flour for bread, but we got by on one meal a day. this is hunger where you realise

there's no food around, you can't go outside and buy any. if you have cash to spend, things are even a lot worse in other parts like in a west kuta, no one can go in or out of some areas. religious authorities issued a decree permitting eating cats and dogs and donkeys which has sort of become a very sensitive controversial issue here in syria. >> so you are saying that on one side of the city people are starving. on the other side of the city life is normal? >> life is as normal as it can be in a war zone. there's food available. you know, you hardly ever have any shortages of bread, except when you have fuel shortages >> people are going to restaurants, people are buying

food at the store, and you go, what, a couple of miles and you see complete devastation and people starving? >> absolutely and people under siege, unable to leave. >> when you went to the areas that were gassed and bombed out, what did you see. >> well, i mean, it was just an endless block of grey and concrete. you know, buildings that are destroyed and, of course, these buildings were destroyed before the chemical weapons attack, ontin use bombardment for months by war planes. >> does the bombardment continue today? >> absolutely. it continues on a daily basis. if you are in damascus, in the government-controlled area, where life goes on as normally as it can, you still hear the fighter jets up in the sky, you know, buzzing on their way to

bomb these areas. sometimes you hear them dropping the bomb. >> you hear the bombs go off and hear the smoke. >> absolutely. often you see the smoke. sometimes you can smell it. you can smell the smoke, the ak rid burning, the gun powder all the way from central damascus. >> this goes on every day. has it changed since the inspectors have begun to look for the gas and destroy it? >> not at all. there are good days and bad days. there hasn't been much of a change. in fact, it seems that the government is tightening the noos even further on the besi e besieged areas. just this month a new area is under siege. there are people stuck there now. some of them my relatives. they can't come out, we can't visit them. they haven't had food come into the area or bread for over a

week or 10 days. they are worried that, you know, this is the beginning of a brutal siege, like in some of the other suburbs. >> you talk about the problems with hunger and star vasion. are there any aid groups getting in to help these people? >> earlier this month the red cross tried to evacuate some civilians out of one of the areas, an area that has the worst besieged area. no one can go in and out over there. people are eating grass and leaves and having olives every day, three times a day >> are they prepared for the whipter coming? >> and they are very worried about the whipter. it will be the second winter, last winter was brutal. they lost a lot of people, adults at risk. elderly pregnant women, babies.

they are starting to lose babies and small children to star vasion at a rate of - i don't know, four, five - this month alone, i'm told seven children died of starvation. >> rasha reporting for us. >> the air force wants to spend $55 million on a bomber. bowing and lockheed martin will work together. the air force will buy up to 500 planes at $5 million each. the program was put on hold due to budget cuts. the new bombers are critical for national security. whoever lands the deal is expected to learn billions in revenue. >> two typhoons off the japanese

coast brought a significant amount of fall. it is mainly typhoon francisco bringing 1-4 inches of rainfall to japan. parts of the eastern coast are bringing rain. >> we have seen tokyo anywhere from 200-300% of the average rains. the tif ons will dry out and go away from the island. there's another storm developing near alaska, bringing in winds. we track this storm moving in - that is when the high-wind watch goes into effect saturday. for gus, along the alaska range, 50 to 85 miles per hour. we'll talk about wind and cold

coming up in the united states. >> thank you. doctors say a child born with hiv has no sign of the disease despite treatment for a year and a half. coming up - we talk with the doctor about what this could mean for the treatment of other people infected with the virus.

cram

for the first time researchers documented a case of hiv remission in a child. they say the girl was born in mississippi. she had contracted the virus in the womb. after she was born doctors started her on antiviral drugs. at the age of three researchers confirmed she appears to be free of hiv, koord toing an updated -- koord toing an updated case study in the new england "journal of medicine." joining us now is dr corey herbert. good to see you. you know about this case.

the babies was born to a hiv mother. what was the chances of survival for the child? >> a lot of people frame this the long way. if a woman takes anti-retrivirals when pregnant the odds of a baby contracting hiv is less than 1%. if the woman doesn't take anti-retriviral medicines, it's an 80% chance that the child will not have hiv. people think it's more than that, it's really not. >> what kind of drugs are we talking about? >> see, it's a very seren dip to us thing that happens. when a baby is born you get six weeks of a medicine called navarapene. they didn't know if the child had hiv. they did a gutsy move by giving any medicine, but they gave a double dose of navarapene, and

three tc - it's like a dose for a man, and it's a gutsy call. it could be gutsy and almost lethal. >> what does it mean for the future treatment of this disease, especially when it comes to new borns. >> well, the interesting part about it is that, you know, we don't note -- know the long-term effects of giving these drugs to new borns. if you give whopping doses, what we thing and know is the earlier you give the medicine, the better the outcomes. giving those medicines in those doses - it's hard to say what the outcome will be for another child. >> it will have to be studied for a while before we do anything like this in the future. >> in new borns. a man could take the cocktail. we have to remember this is a baby 30 hours old. that is a big dose.

the child got the medicine for 18 months, and didn't tick the medicine for five months, because of the follow up. and they thought the viral load would be high, it wasn't. that's when they get a remission-type cure. it's not a cure, it's a remission, because they thought the child would have a high viral load because she was lost when they found her. >> researchers learning more about the treatment of hiv. dr corey herbert is a practicing physician of medicine at tulane university. great to see you again. great to see you, thanks for joining us. >> over the past few years hundreds of animals died from unsafe pet food. the fda is proposing rules to help prevent contamination. sellers and importers would have to follow sanitation and food

safety practices. 600 dogs have died and thousands of animals have got sick. the proposal could cost $130 million to the pet industry a year. >> michael eaves is here with sports. sad news to report. >> we think about the physical toll that football takes and we forget about the mind. with concussion it's coming back into conversation. when future hall of famer brett favre turned down the possibility to come out of retirement he cited the toll on his body and his mind. he revealed he suffered memory loss since his playing days ended, and it's not just short-term. he said he doesn't remember a summer of his daughter's youth soccer games. in baseball multiple media outlets are report thatting the washington nationals that

finished 10 games back and four games back of a wildcard spot will name matt williams to replace davey johnson who retired. this is matt's first managerial position at any level. game 3 of the world series moves to st louis. there's no designated hitters in the ballpark. the pitches have to. craig will have to go to the bench and ortiz will have to play first base. of the cardinals have been a bear at home and 5 and 1 at bush stadium in the post season. a momentum switch in game 3. more sports later. >> see you later, thank you. european officials say the roma couple that had a blond girl with them told the truth about how they got her. why was there so much speculation about kidnapping. next - we speak with a roma

woman about the misconceptions surrounding her people. >> when immigration laws fall apart, president obama pushes for congress to take up the challenge yet again.

welcome back to al jazeera america. i'm john siegenthaler in new york. here is a look at the headlines: two major u.s. allies demand answers that the u.s. spied. the claims were published by englands "the guardian" paper. it could damage the fight against terrorism >> secrecy surrounding the drone strike program is the biggest obstacle to determining civilian casualties. at least 400 civilians have been killed by drone strikes in pakistan since 2004. the white house says extensive efforts are made to avoid civilian deaths. >> don't tell me we can afford to shut down the government costing billions, but we can't

afford to invest in education systems. >> president obama delivers a message to congress during a visit to the new york high school. he is trying to build political momentum as the lawmakers gear up for another round of bnt talks. >> with the government shut down over and default temporarily avoided. president obama challenged congress to pass the bment. the foreign bill and immigration bill. heidi zhou-castro looks at the battle over immigration and the roadblock to comprehensive reform. >> a bridge between juarez and elpassa texas separates hunger for opportunity, promise of the american dream. tony payan crosses it once a month. the professor of plil cat science teaches on both sides of the border.

he wants congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform, but doubts it will happen under obama's leaders. >> i don't think it's a matter in president obama's hear. >> he says the border community awaited for border reform only to be let down. in june, on a 68-32, the democratic controlled senate passed a support by barack obama. it went nowhere in the republican controlled house of representatives. speaker john boehner supports immigration reform, buts has not committed to the senate plan, which offers 11 million undocumented immigrants a chance to become citizens after a 13-year wait. >> this is where the fence begins at this point for el paso. >> the path to citizenship was

coupled with provisions to increase boarder security. the senate plan doubles border patrol agents and uses $8 billion to extend the border fence. >> the border fence continues east of el paso, in sport. we are in fort hancock texas - until it ends here. in front of me is mexico. this is gayle carr's farm. >> we may as well have a seen saying this is bienvenidos. welcome to the united states. >> most people cross here and come and go quietly. >> what do you think of folks coming around the corner? >> i think they are like you and i. i think they want a better life and the only problem i have with it is they are not following the rules to do it. >> carr says the immigration system and border security have faults. he doubts politicians will fix

either. >> you live on the border. you are on the front line. has anyone ask said you your ideas for solving the problem? >> no, none of the politicians talk to me. i'm at the point i don't care if you are democrat or republican. you know, you are a representative of the people. get up there and fix it. >> 19 days remain on the 2013 legislate ist calendar. 19 days too short, and too long for those on the border waiting decades for a solution that has always been on the horizon. $5 billion in penalties is what financial giant jpmorgan agreed to pay the government for selling bad loans to fannie mae, and freddie mac. the deals went bad after the housing bubble burst in 2007. the agreement was part of a larger settlement with several regulators. the broader deal is being

negotiated, and look for the justice don't go after more companies. i talked to daniel wagner, a reporter for the center for public integrity who says "the government is using old regulations to prosecute knew violators." . >> the government dusted off a rule sips the savings&loan debacle. where they were looking at at total of five years after the crisis - and that window closed - they are using a law giving them another five years to try to go after the wrong doing and give aid to the struggling home owners. >> nigerian rebels say they are in contact with people that kidnapped two american merchant sailors and can ensure their safety. pirates attacked a ship in the gulf of guinea. the gunmen took the captain and chief engineer. others were released. nigeria's navy says it's searching for the kidnapped men. there has been more than 40

pirate attacks off the west coast. >> dna tests cleared up mist ris of a blond girl found with roma. police thought she had been kidnapped. tests confirm the child is the daughter of a bulgarian roma couple. prosecutors are investigating whether the birth parent sold the child. the birth mother said she gave the child away and did not sell rer. joinings us now is cristina grigore, a romanian fullbright scholar of romania eth nifty, and a professor at bard college. thank you for being here. you were upset by the store yip. >> first of all at the beginning it seemed sur reel to me. i did not believe such a big story. let's look at the facts

straight. the only thing we knew for sure was the people were not the biological parents. all the other things were assumptions. >> the judgment was made that the girl was blonde. >> yes. >> because she was blonde, and with the people, and they didn't think she looked like her. >> that was upsetting. they did not think she could be roma, and the assumption was, you know, roma people are all dark, and... >> they were kidnappers. >> and kidnappers. that feeds off the... >> stereotypes. >> yes, the old stereotypes about gypsy people stealing babies. i understand there is a stereotype that can trigger deep fears in people. they have nothing to do with roma situation and roma people these days. it's very upsetting because it touches on skin colour.

it touches on this very old stereotypes that it - it terrifies people. when i was a child, i decided not to be a roma, to deny my ethnic identity, precisely because of stereotypes like this, that make many roma like me to deny who we are. >> you know the terms roma versus gypsy - i know this is a controversial area, a difficult area to talk about. clearly some people feel that the term gypsy is offensive; correct. >> many times it is used in an offensive way. now, i personally am okay with both roma and gypsy. i went through a very complicated and long process of reclaiming the word, and looking at its positive connotationses.

>> so what would you like the world to know about roma people, based on what has happened with the story and the stereotypes? >> sure. i would like them to know - first of all, i would like them to know, you know, we are real people, the largest ethnic - i'm saying that because some people think we are fictional characters from stories. we are the largest minority in europe. the numbers are between 8 and 12 million. we are a group of people. we are spread all over the world. i want people to know that there is a big problem with roma people living in very extreme conditions like poverty and they face, you know, exclusion and

seg re grated life and so on. >> what are the misconceptions people have. >> this is a big one. that they steal babies or they are beggars on the streets or they don't want to work and be part of the society. which is not true. my family, for example, work very hard to be part of the society. my mother was a cleaner, dad was a welder. they made huge sacrifices to give me and my brother education. i would like people to know there are many - as i call - invisible roma. they don't want to speak about their ethnic identity because of the stereotypes like the one that exploded in the media. these are people - i spoke with some of the citizens of

columbia. they don't speak about ethnic identity because they will - they fear being siig mattised. actually, i urge them to acknowledge and speak about it with their friends and so, because they can greatly change this - the way in which we are perceived. >> it's a discussion that needs to go on, we are happy that you came by to talk about it. maybe we'll chat about this again. >> the first pitch in the game three of the fall classic is hours away. the baseball moves to st louis. we have a preview coming up in sports. >> plus - take your hands away from the wheel, move the foot from the pedal - let the

computer take control. the self-driving car next.

every year automakers come up with a new gimmick and innovation - cars that can park themselves or tell you if tyres are flat. automakers say cars that can drive themselves may be a few years away. alessandro rampietti from the technology program "techknow" -- kosta grammatis of "techknow" gives us a preview of a car in the future. >> what happens if a kid comes out chasing a ball? >> oh, my god. we almost got that guy. >> the car checks to see if anyone is behind us, next to us. it makes a decision whether to

break or swerve. >> can we park it now? >> yes. we can do it from the back seat, right? >> this is my says. >> calling dibs on that spot. now it's parked. >> i love watching the steering wheel steer itself. [ laughs ] >> what happens if i interrupt it? >> completely stops. >> it's going go back where it started. how many years until that's in all cars? >> by 2020. >> as carr makers head to that day. the biggest obstacle may not be technology - but the human factor. >> at stanford university automobile ad they are answering the question how much will a driver react when thrust back into an autoon mouse time.

what is the autoon mouse time. >> the moment the car shifts control from itself to the drivers. drivers are asked to absorb information to get situational awareness where there was none. that's an extraordinary challenge. >> i am going to place e. g electrodes on your head. >> to understand what is going on in your mind and body when you drive. we hook up the driver. you can see where their eyes are looking. >> great. >> what the brain is doing at various points. what the heart is doing. >> the simulator is built to help us better underway, but, look, i - yes.s to alert the driver that autoon mouse mode is being switched. >> after several minutes of the texting, watch what happens when i have to take control. >> the car asked me to disable

autonation. why did the car - uh-oh. i crashed into 12 cars because i wasn't paying attention. >> kosta grammatis joins us from washington d.c. welcome. >> thank you. >> it's a great story. i have a tonne of questions. >> what was it like to be behind the wheel of a car driving itself and suddenly you have got control? >> it's the lack of control. first it was a little scary, like "hey, the car is driving for me." all of a sudden it's comfortable. it's a friendly approachable driving style. i liked t it was nice. >> when i - watching the back seat of the car and it's driving itself, did you feel like you were totally out of control? >> that is the thing. it's not scary at all. after spending the day with the car and the chief engineer, it

was very apparent that they had thought through everything. it was so much fun to watch that car drive us around. i wasn't scared at all. >> the thing that strikes me is what if something goes wrong, the car is going 60, 70 miles per hour , down the highway, i guess you can't speed in the cars, could you? >> the car can read speeding signs. >> it won't let you go over the speed limit. >> it won't let you go over the speed limit. it's packed with equipment - laser scanners, radar, cameras in the front and rear. there's so much gear that makes the car smarter than me as a driver. for example. stanford is working on programming the cars to have the same reactions as literally a race car driver. >> so if you hit, like, black ice or someone runs in front of

your car. it can make decisions faster and more informed decisions than i could ever make >> how long before this is mainstream? >> 2020. that's what they are saying >> if it's mainstream 2020, is it possible this could be on the road. i mean, i know we are not getting into legal stuff or the government stuff. is it possible it could become part of the regular driving experience in the future? you'd see the cars going down the highway. >> look where we have come. we have collision avoidance systems built in the cars. we have the parking thing that helps you park your car. they can park cars for you. it's a natural progress of the technology of today. the niszan engineers said the stuff was in existence, "we are piecing it together, filling in the blanks and making sure the

systems work together." >> what about when it snows? . >> that's a big challenge. the cameras in the car look for the lines on the road. if it's snowing badly, you might have challenges finding the lines on the road. they are working on addressing all of those issues and driving situations. if the car can't find a solution on how to drive, the car is supposed to hand driving back to you. that is a really big challenge now. how does someone lounging, texting in the car, how does the car return driving to that person. how do very have situational awareness again. they are working on that. >> this is a great story. i have a tonne of questions. i don't have time for you to answer them. you guys will have to watch this coming up. watch more on driverless cars on "techknow" this weekend, sunday, 7:30 pacific.

kosta grammatis - great to talk to you. thanks again. >> michael eaves is here with sport. >> i don't think we'll see robots playing baseball, we want the players. we have seen exciting drama. with the world series tied at one game apiece. game 3 is a swing game as the boston red sox look to reclaim home field advantage back from st louis. the cardinals are 5 and 1 at home. jessica tapp reports from bush stadium. >> it is the calm before the storm as gale 3 shifts to st louis, which means a change in rules. we have the national rules. mike napperry out, david ortees is in. the pitching match of up. jake going up against joe kelly.

jake trying to redeem himself from a tough game 4 loss in the alcs. he's fired up for the world series debut. >> i'm plenty enough comfortable to go out and execute pitches and make adjustments. obviously i'm an emotional guy. emotions - at the same time, i'm 13 years into this. i'm as good as i ever will be for a start, to go out tomorrow. >> first tomorrow night 8:07 eastern time for game 3 at the world series. >> the difference between winning a world series and missing the play-offs is the personnel moves a team makes - or the ones they don't make. or the boston red sox, it was addition and subtraction. >> hit well. into the corner.

scores in a grand slam. >> thanks to the flying hawaiian the red sox from flying hard. they were a disaster last season, losing 93 games. they underwent a make over with a new manager, john farrell. and leaders victorino, gomez and napperly. >> i'll never forget the guys. this group here - all year long we have been a brilliant team. people doubted us and myself. you come out here, you give it all, leave it on the field - that's all you can askment >> the trio, victorino, napperly and gomes understand what it takes, with four world series appearances. they added blood and character to the team that likes and plays

with one another. >> gomes tossed around an idea of growing beards. now the red sox is a band of bearded brothers. >> this is the only team were not just the starting pitches hangs out - everyone hangs together. >> one and only hold-over from a red sox win over the cardinals is one of the most beloved red sox players, david ortees, who got two home runs. leaving the ball parks, jess car taff caught up with him to get his take on the importance. >> i work hard. i try to do my - and i try not to go too crazy and put pressure on myself, i try to have fun. playing in october is what i try to do for the team coming from the ales. we try to do our best. >> the cardinals team knows you

from 2004. you beat them in 2004. do they have a special place in your heard for them? >> they had a good team. in 2004, you know, we had them by 13. it was the reason why they were in the series. like i say, you can never doubt nobody, especially when you get to this level. the series. we had a great team, competitive. we have to play better than the last game. >> in game 3 ortiz did well. >> jake peevy is pitching in his first game. esp's walls matthews thinks kelly may have the upper hand on his older counterpart. >> they seem to have an endless supply of live arms.
