cloudy skies and as the wind progresses, by the end of the game, depending whether we go into extra innings, temperatures will be dropping down to around 40. temperatures 5 to 10° below normal but boy, we have a big blast of cold air on the way. i'll show you where that's going to move in and jonathan i'm also going to show you a good shot of snow. i'll show you where that's going to move in coming up next. >> can't wait to see. thanks rebecca. somalis are taking advantage of something americans do all the time. why they're pumping gas the first time in 20 years. and hurricane sandy one year ago and one town still struggling to recover. closest to the story, invite hard-hitting debate and desenting views and always explore issues relevant to you.

number of motions trying to get more evidence about the cia's rendition program entered as evidence in this trial, they've also taken the step of writing directly to u.s. president barack obama asking him to declassify the rendition program because they say without that information, their people in the united states who will know about how their clients were treated than they will be able to say in open court. they say in a defense case that involves the death penalty that's inexcusable. what does the prosecution think of this? >> the public is going to know what the prosecution knows. our case in chief is going to be to the public. there won'ting any so-called secret evidence. >> the next hearing in the 9/11 case won't be heard until december. during that time you're going to see more efforts to try to bring up more of the questions about torture and how it might affect the outcome of this trial bought into play in a number of filings. there's no possibility of the

because their existence was so threatened they had to be put into protection about two decades ago. this rothschild giraffe has to be in protected centers such as this center where they can breed. this is the lucky one. the more vulnerable are outside of game reserves and sang wears whersanctuaries. >> because of clearing of the natural areas we have ended up in a situation where we now have fragments of habitats across the country. and these fragments is where you'll find the giraffes in, and where you'll find other wildlife and we know from our own research that most extinctions in this wild have occurred in habitat fragments. >> the endangered rothschild

giraffe may be changed as a comprehensive national policy to guarantee this. what has now been campaigned more aggressively is sensitizing those who live close to wildlife to try to coexist with animals. >> our main mission is to help create awareness and conservation through learning situations. >> it's a hard sell when you consider fast-growing population and the wildlife all competing for the limited space available in a rapidly industrializing country. but conservationists say this is a fight that must not be lost. losing africa's wildlife is just not an option. al jazeera, nairobi. >> all right, we've got sports now with darren haynes. so game 3 of the world series.

team's manager was the catcher for cardinals from 2000 to 2004. it was during that time that metheny started mentoring a young molina. >> it was very, very similar, i think that's part of the relationship working out so well. metheny talked about this in the nlck, how are you able to manage guys you played with, is there a little bit of conflict? people we work with not sure we want them to be our bosses. but he was a mentor to molina then and he is a mentor now. >> 2004 when metheny went on the disabled list, 2004 world series against the red sox that molina was elected to start over metheny, pushing his now manager out of the starting job. >> catchers who are brilliant,

yadir is so amazing, i think they saw that at the beginning. >> and that gets us to today, metheny and molina are back in the world series, but this time around they are hoping to beat the very team that swept them nine years ago. >> bad memories of 2004 and we're looking to kind of right that ship. >> once themen tor, metheny is relying on molina to do what he could not, beat boston i beats . >> rosh shimabuku al jazeera. >> now, for more on game 3 of the world series let's welcome in jessica taff who is in busch

stadium in st. louis, jessica with the world series now playing, what does this mean now for the boston lineup? >> yeah, certainly means that they take that big bat of mike napoli out of the lineup but the good news is you've got ortiz and napoli and late innings you've got that bat to come off the bench if need be. the team was hitting .188, hense why they kept ortiz in there. he is starting at first base. it is a position that he has played for a long time. the fact that he has only played six games there this last season? in 39 innings he has had zero errors, his big job is just to get out of the way of justin pie

pedroya when he is hitting bunts. solid right in that position and all star right next to you at second joe. >> the spotlight definitely on the red sox and cardinals pinches but that spotlight a little bit brighter for jake peavy wouldn't you say? >> absolutely he is the veteran of the two but one of those things that he had a tough outing in the last go-round he wants to redeem himself a little bit. for both pitchers this is a world series debut and with jake peavy, what he has dreamed about. >> to go out and execute pitchers and be able to execute pitches it comes with no end. obviously i'm an emotional guy, motions, at the same time, i'm 13 years into this, i'm as excited as i ever will be for a start to go out there tomorrow. but there's not going to be a situation where i get

overwhelmed in and get too emotional and let the emotions of the moment to beat me. i feel like i've been in enough situations over the years that there's nothing tonight that's going orattle me or get in my head, doesn't matter how loud the crowd is or how bad things are going. it comes out to executing pitches and make tiny adjustments that make the biggest -- it takes getting some balls hit at people and some guys making some plays and just getting in that rhythm of the game and i think we all expect that to happen tomorrow night. >> okay now darren a couple of lineup notes cardinals allen is out of the lineup still battling a foot injury, also for boston danielle nava is in left field in place of johnny combs.
