material. over here what we are seeing are evacuees being lined up to take out. we have a man on a stretcher, who was brought in a short while ago, but it is much more orderly than it was a few days ago. the last time i was here. a company of marines here, they say they are going to be here until they are called to go hope. tell me the last name again? >> albert, he is from the international committee and the red cross. tell me what is the most urgent need here now? >> basically about four days ago, we are here -- we saw the need for food, of course water, so right now we are bringing in 72 tons. and then right away or

immediately, we distributed. >> and are you getting out to these remote areas where we are hearing there's a lot of children, fever, issues not being dealt with, with people may need medicine. >> so basically, the people are really in dire need of food, and so much more medicine perhaps. that's why we are basically, putting up with our baitic healthcare unit in the coming days. >> thank you very much, sir. so as i said, i spoke to a couple of the soul military officers here. this is maximum capacity for them here. the question is how long will this operation go on. i spoke to marine general earlier before going back to his headquarters he said their goal here to hand off to u.s.a. i.d. and to other n.g.o. whose are here as well. like doctors without

borders. the goal is to let them come up to capacity. but again it is an operation that will be going for a long time. >> so now to the latest on the talks with the iran. today secretary of state john kerry called on iran to prove that the nuclear program is peaceful. and hend sod to comments from israel's prime minister, that warned that it may put them securely at risk. >> i have great respect for his concerns about his country. the prime minister should express his concerns. he has every right to defend what he believes is his interest. we believe in our commitment to israel, deeply. >> kerry says he intends to return to talks. the white house promised

it would be up and running by the end of the month. but today, an obama spokesman confirmed that one out of every five americans probably won't be able to access the system, even after that deadline. let's go live to mike picker rah at the white house. what did he have to say today? >> well, john, you remember about three weeks ago, and it became obvious that it was more than just glitched. the administration said that they expected that the site would be running smoothly. for the vast majority of americans who joined that site or tried to log on to it today. we learned how the white house defines vast majority, eight in ten americans will be able to buy insurance through healthcare.gov for these are correct. who won't be abe to? those who are still having technical difficulties logging on to the site. those who get too frustrated by it and give up, and others whose lives are so complicated their insurance so complicated they need to

speak to someone within one on one. the white house spokes american explained. >> it has always been the case that we need to make sure there are other avenues for people ethey are with complex situations or people who would rather not perform this kind of purchase online. and that's why we have call in centers and that's why we have in person counselors who the work with american consumers around the country to make decisions and review options. when it comes to healthcare coverage. >> john, part of the trouble here, one of the many problem problems is tt after november 30th the public basically has -- if you are trying to get insurance through the websites two weeks until september 15th in order to register and have insurance, when the new healthcare law kicks in. >> so, talk about these other ways that americans can enroll? >> well, you can buy directly from the insurers.

of course a vast majority get their insurance through employers. there's offer through employers. you and i get that, people that belong to major american companies members of congress and their staff get it as well. but in the individual marketplace, what we are talking about here, where people have the serious problems, trying to cover the 40 million americans who are uninsured. most of those folks are going to be going through the website of the estimate was some 7 million would be able to register by the last deadline of march 31st of next year. obviously they are falling short of that, butler ways to buy insurance directly from the insurers. >> so the secretary of health and human services is on the road tomorrow, in florida, why is she there? >> it's part oan't cooing tour, that she is doing around the country, in the wake of all these problem that is they have had, the basic metrics from the administration, two people trying to log on and get their insurance through healthcare.gov is don't give us, it is working better day by day.

even though two in ten americans will not be able still at the end of the month, the target date to buy insurance, after that it will still improvement, slowly but surely. >> so she is on the road in the middle of this to sell the plan? >> right. and people are calling for heads to roll, hers probably chief among them. that's been limited to republicans and the white house is firmly behind her having fum confidence in her, and almost become azurite call at this point. but folks are waiting until this all shakes out, if and when that time when it does run smoothly, when the controversial has subsided to see who if anyone will bay the price to has become a debackle. >> all right, at the white house, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> next up, stocks.

how it happened. mavin is the mission they would send. >> how long does this take? how long is the trip take? >> the actual trip will be ten months and then mavin will slow down and join the orbit of mars. that will teacart huge distance. and it will go around the planet for the better part of a year. sampleleing the atmosphere of mars. >> why do we care about the atmosphere? >> the think about, is mars is sort of an iconic planet, but it has been -- it seems so lifeless, mars has an incredible amount in common with earth. once upon time, we know that mars has water on it. vast waters and as a result it seems likely that some sort of change took place overtime, that sucks that sort of living atmosphere either out into space, or perhaps

into the crust of the planet, and by figuring that out, we get sort of a glimpse of what our planet might do 4 billion years from now. >> so talk a little bit about how this compared to other missions? well, there very been several, but this is the first that will sample the atmosphere, by scooping up layers and having look at them. we will learn things about space, weather, and why it is that the atmosphere there is so thin and cold. what is ironic about this particular mission is that just a little while ago, india send its first mission off to mars, and has its $73 million unmanned satellite orbiting the earth right now, building velocity to go to mars and it will be in a race with this mavin mission. and they are going to arrive just two days apart with the american mission arriving just before the indian one hits. >> and the spacecraft's

what it looks like, how big it is, and what it actually does in addition to scooping up the atmosphere. >> sure. it is massive as our correspondent mentions. it is about the size of an suv. imagine an suv fretting around, it also has this wingspan, these solar sails that unfurl, and give its power and thrust. it is loading with an incredible number of census. not only will it be doing this, lit be acting as a relay station for sending communications from mars rovers on the surface back to us. sort of radio tower for improving the connectivity between us. >> we will be waiting for a long time before we get to see any of that, but thank you very much, we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> two of the best in

division ii with both winston salem state, but after a fight between the templars only one of those teams is headed to the playoffs. during last friday's team banquet, ciaa champion game, players from virginia state allegedly jumped the quarterback in a restroom, as a result, not only was the conference game canceled but the cia also banned virginia state from participating in any post season games this year. who spoke today for the first time since the incident. >> i am going to wash my hands and somebody tapped me on my back and my shoulder. as soon as i turned

around i got hit. hit me on my blind side and that's when i fell, and i fell about four or five feet. stomping on me and kicking me. a black eye, and hit on the side of my head. that does not define who we are, it does not defy our student body. so as we move forward we will continue to work vehemently continuously improving the decision making of our students. as the league lead investigator met with several players in davey florida. he spoke with jonathan martin and his interviews with coaches could last several days.

neither the team nor the league provided a list of people scheduled to speak to, but they say the offensive line would definitely meet with wells. opinions have varies on what should and should not be acceptable behavior, and according to two of the best all time quarterbacks they have a hard time accepting that anyone could be bullied at the nfl level. >> you have to be kidding me? profootball? bullying? we are playing -- it's the toughest sport, the most violence, not to mention your men. some older than others. so it isn't like a little 12-year-old on the playground. i am not defending or -- i am -- all i'm saying is my initial reaction was a grown man is 320-pounds is getting bullied? >> locker rooms are a funny place. you can't -- not that this isn't -- i don't like to even talk about those things because i don't know all the

details, and most cases nobody does, other than those guys or the guys in the locker room. and -- but you can't go in the locker room without being made fun of. >> now to action on the field where last night the broncos handed their division foe the first loss of the season. and our nfl analyst says it sets up a huge rematch in two weeks. >> these two are going to go at it again, this time it is going to be an arrowhead. and you have payton manning you see him on the line, he is calling omaha, wiggle waggle, that is not going to fly, when you have the 12th man on the field. so i am anticipating a much different outcome. i think kansas city does beat the denver broncos. >> before we get to that, they have to take on tom brady and the new england patriots. talk about a game is not look over that's going to

be a touch match up this wees. >> week 13 on the road, it is a tough three weeks for payton manning and if you did watch that game, his go to wide receiver got really beat up. now he is dealing with a concussion. so there's talk that maybe he won't be able to play against the patriots. and you know he wants to play, that's where he has played for several years. that's going to be an interesting game. >> how about the nfc east. >> they are in the hunt, to even win that division, will we go down to week 17? >> i think we will. let's rewind first, least some people are calling it, they bid the washington red skins which in my opinion that was a much win game for them. the red skins they are out. so that's first and

foremost, now you have the new york football giants. they have won four in a row, but keep in mind, the past four opponents three of them, they played against not second string, but third string quarterbacks. that's just ridiculous. now the schedule gets very very difficult. they go against r.g. 3 twice, seattle with russell wilson spell the lions and matthew stafford, so it will get competitive. be the only team that makes it to the post season. >> strong words represented to the hazing and bullying. >> they are not taking sides yet. they are still doing the investigation. players and coaches will be interviewed.
