check check >> this is al jazeera america live from new york. i'm jonathan betz. street battles in ukraine's capital. tens of thousands defying a government ban on protests. growing security concerns at the sochi winter olympics as a new video concern emerges on the internet. >> trying to convince west virginians that the water is safe. there are linkering concerns >> exposing slavery. a project aimed at revealing have $32 billion industry.

tonight the united states is calling for the violence in the ukraine to end and for the government to hold immediate talks. riots erupted in kiev. dozens were hurt as thousands confronted police. this comes as the government passes new laws limiting protests. >> it's the worse fighting in kiev. thousands clash with police, blocking the road to parliaments. buses were set on fire. opposition kidnapped a policemen. opposition leader and former boxer tried to calm the people, with no success. this is the kind of confrontation that opposition leaders were trying to avoid. after eight weeks of protests with little results, some protesters have become frustrated and decided to confront authorities in the street. tensions heightened this week

when a court declared demonses in the center of key -- dimensions in the center of kiev illegal. earlier, sunday, tens of thousands gather on independence square to defy the regulations. >> translation: i appeal to law enforcement bodies, to servicemen, join the people, protect the people because you gave an oath to the ukrainian people and you have to protect them. >> the government says they are public order laws. the people here disagree. >> this is not just a new law, it's a coup. when a coup happens in the country, especially when there's a social explosion in the country, the situation is unpredictable. >> i think with my presence here, i am trying to show to people, to show the parliament and the government that i'm not agree with them, and i'm against the choices or the rules. >> the new rules give the police the pours needed to dismantle the peaceful protest, entering

its third month. >> this evening protesters remain on independence square, while a few hundred metres away street squirmishes continue. police have been restrained, but there are fears that the authority will use this conflict as an excuse to end eight weeks of demonstrations by government opponents. >> more security concerns as russia prepares to host the winter olympics in 18 days. a video emerged of two men claiming to be the suicide bombers behind last month assist attacks in volgograd. they warn that tourists coming to the game will get a presence. former policy advisor to the u.s. says the threat is credible. >> given the volatility of the caucuses and the ties that the chechen groups have to middle eastern groups, it's credible that they intend to launch an attack against the olympics. the big question is can they

succeed in doing so. is the security with which of the russians blanked sochi and the surrounding area sufficient to thwart that. >> president vladimir putin insists tourists will be kept safe. >> iran is taking its first steps in cutting back its nuclear program. u.n. inspectors are on the ground. they are ready to oversee the historic agreement. as al jazeera reports, people in toronto are excited about the promise of easing sanctions. >> 10 years in the making after marathon diplomacy, january 20th marks the day when the iranian agreement comes into force. in iran the key issue is how much if at all it will affect daily life. many do not thing much will

change. >> translation: they put us under so much pressure that we are hopeful. it's about giving and taking concession, so for the beginning it's good, but it's not enough. >> iran and the six world powers will implement the agreement over the next six months. it means a stop to enriching uranium to levels of 20% purity. iran will continue to enrich, but at a lower level of 5%. and tehran will convert half its stock into fuel. >> translation: if the agreement is not implemented simultaneously it will be sprnded. if the other -- suspended. >> if the other side does not release money, iran will enrich to 20%. >> as well as releasing more than 4 million over six months, the world powers will suspend u.s. and e.u. sanctions on oil exports and the gold trade.

the u.s. will suspend syncses on iran's auto industry and help with the supply of airplane parts and medicine. the white house said it doesn't want to impose new sanctions. the the biggest issue remains, one that affects all iranians, sanctions on the central bank. >> sanctions have mostly been imposed on the banking system, transport, insurance and oil sales. it means because they blocked access to swift and international banking we have no access to the money. from january 20th has no effective impact on sanctions. it's psychical >> even a psychological boost would be welcome, with so many feeling the pinch. prices have increased. this popular brand of cheese is

an example. the price is six times what it used to be. it has not gotten bigger. some producers blame sanctions for the price rises, but iran's best economists say that is not true, it's profit earring in a time of economic misery. >> the government is warning iranians there is a long way to go before anything returns to normality either abroad or at home. >> well, for rain yarnings the benefit of this -- iranians, the benefit of this deal and will be found. >> it's a certain change, an important change. it's the beginning of iran trying to accommodate what mr hassan rouhani called concerns in the international community. i think in reverse, it is trying to - or in return, it's trying to ease sanctions and create an

atmosphere where substantive negotiations can go on >> do you think iran is serious about coming to an agreement on a long-term del? >> i think iran was serious about trying to come to this deal because the economy is very much in a dire situation. the regime needs some sanction relief, but whether they can take the next and rethink some of their options and prepare themselves and the country for a long-term deal, i think remains to be seen. many families, radical supporters have been sniping at this deal with increasing v means in the last few days. it remains to be seen whether it can be quietened down and their interest, which is financial. >> professor you study iran, what does your gut feel on this. will they come to a long-term deal? >> my gut tells me they'll come to a long-term deal, accepting

the contours of what has been now offered to them. >> he says he believes iran believes an infusion of capital to improve the country's struggling economy. >> in west virginia, the water company is trying to assure people their tap water is safe. many are nervous as the water smells. al jazeera america has been trying to get answers from the west virginia water company on why people can still smell chemicals in the air. robert ray heard from the company. what did they say? >> it's not the best case scenario. we wanted the president out here to talk to us live, but we got information. we got a statement. we are here on the banks of the elk river, and you can see the treatment facility, the freedom industries, where the leek occurred. here is what the water company wrote to us. we asked how they'll restore the faith in the public.

they said "we realise through no fault of our own the public's trust has been shaken, nothing is more important than to rebuild the trust with the customers and the community. we realise that major challenges lay ahead. we'll continue to test and mon for with intra agency partners to ensure confidence in the drinking water. we have made progress with test results showing the chemical has not been detected at the plant since january 13th. we literally just got the statement. another question, the black liquorice smell in the air, in people's homes. why is that continuing, and here is what they said. they water may have an odour. odours can be detected at levels below levels the center of disease control is determined. in fact, it has been indicated that the odour threshold is 100,000 times lower than the

adverse affect level. that's according to them. they'll continue to do water tests on the elk river and all over the city. that they are trying to be hope, trying to be transperpt, and wanted to reassure the charleston area in west virginia that it is not their fault. the blame is on freedom industries, across the river. there are roadside drop-offs for water. cars pull off the side to pick up cases of bottled water. restaurants here are not serving water out of tap and many people have a lot of questions as the story tips. i know um stay on top of it. >> brazil watched president obama's speech about n.s.a. spying. brazil's president called it a first step. the u.s. was spying on the president causing her to cancel a visit to washington.

>> new allegations were issued against edward snowden. >> the whole purpose of this program is to provide instant anious information to be able to disrupt any plot that may be taking place. and you know, i think a lot of privacy people, perhaps don't understand that we still occupy the role of the great satan. >> some of the things that he did were behind his technical capabilities raises questions. how he arranges travel before he left, how he was ready to go, he had a go bag, if you will. >> who -- >> let me say this. i believe there's a reason he ended up in the hands, the loving arms of an fsb agent in moscow. those allegations against edward snowden have not been proven. >> much of all that information is kept in a data center in utah. it's a high-tech building that cit icts would like to see

closed. activists have an unusual idea of how to do it. >> if you ever wondered where the national security agency scores the data it collects, you are looking at it. >> this is the utah data center in bluf dale, a 92,000 square metre complex completed last september at a cost of 1.5 billion. >> writer james bam ford studied the n.s.a. for decades. >> >> it's designed to hold a tremendous amount of n.s.a.'s intercepted information, phone calls, email and metadata. it needs a place to store it. that's what blufdale is for. you could sort of think of it as n.s.a.'s external hard drive. >> the n.s.a. declined a request for interview. in bluf dale most do not have

couples about their neighbour, the spy agency. >> it's an important mission. they get information from around the world. and my understanding is that they study it here. >> if you can't trust your government to do the proper thing, what can you trust. >> but in the wake of former n.s.a. contractor edward snowden's revelations, a nationwide moved is building to rein in the n.s.a. using constitutional powers vested in the states. connor buyack is president of the a utah legal think tank. >> states and cities are not required to help the government fulfil programs and mandates. if we wanted we could ops what the ns -- oppose what the n.s.a. is doing. here the n.s.a. foes thing they have found its weakness. opponents came up with a legal plan to cripple the data center. they want the state of utah to

turn off the tap on the n.s.a.'s water supply. >> to keep equipment were overheating the center needs 6,500 cubic metres of water a day. utah could stop the flow. the result -. >> if the n.s.a. did not have water, it could not cool servers or operate its servers. they wouldn't be able to mine and store and cyst through the data. >> activists plan to put a no cooperation with the n.s.a. bill with the legislature in the future. similar laws are proposed in other states, including california and washington. >> the probe into the new jersey cove nor may be expanding. the governor said he will look into new allegations of political payback.

hoboken mayor accused chris christie of holding back money for hurricane sandy victims because she would not support a real estate project connected to chris christie's administration. >> we have to give the allegation series thought. it's a pattern we have heard throughout new jersey. she is one of the first mayors to come forward and say this specific thing happened. the committee needs to look at the facts. hear the story, look at the emails and consider where we go next. >> the governor's office says millions in aid was given and calls the allegations partisan politics. new york mayor and republican agrees. >> the mayor said that she didn't believe a hold-up in the funds had anything to do with retribution for not endorsing the governor. she said she liked working with governor cysty. you have to look at the current statement in light of a former

statement before it became an orchestrate pile-on. >> christie's office denies claims of retaliation. four close to chris christie lost their jobs after an aide gave permission to close lanes on the bridge causing chaos. >> snow, moving through parts of the north-east. a knew polar blast coming through. all the details on when to expect it coming up next.

>> a high profile trial is under way for a dramatic political assassination in middle eastern history. in 2005 former president hariri was assassinated. a special court announced four men tied to hezbollah would be

tried in absentia. last thursday that trial began. is >> almost nine years after the killing of lebanese prime minister hariri in downtown beirut the special tribunal for lebanon opened at the hague. the bomb killed hariri and others, wounding hundreds, blowing out a crater 35 feet wide and 6 feet deep. manually detonated, four men accused are being tried in absentia, shielded by hezbollah, which supported the tribunal. but now they say the men are innocent and any hand that touches them will be cut off. hezbollah denounced the trial as a western-backed conspire city led by the u.s. and israel. it's the first time the courts

were tried in absentia. it has backing from the united states, and was created by a unanimous vote by the united nations security council. >> the attackers used a quantity of high-grate explosives, more than required to kill the main target. clearly the aim was not only to ensure the target was killed, but to send a message and cause panic among the population of beirut and lebanon. >> lengthy preparations and security cost 325 million. the stakes are high as well. experts say the verdict could be precedent setting for international law and terrorism. it comes against a backdrop of bombings in lebanon, that are spoking sectarian tensions as the violence from syria's civil war spills across the border. >> hariri, a former lebanese prime minister attended the opening of the trial. >> this is what you want,

justice, not vengeance. we never seek vengeance. hopefully by the end of the trial we find out the truth. >> hundreds of prosecution witnesses are expected to be called. the trial could last months, possibility longer. >> earlier i spoke about why the international community in lebanon pushed for the historic tribunal to take place. >> two reasons, i think. one, there was a massive demand in lebanon, and i think around the arab world for something to be done using the legitimate instruments of the rule of law, to catch the killers and the asassins who carry out these kind of matters to put them on trial, give them a fair trial and if found guilty to punish them. it could be a deterrence to crimes like this and attacks in the future. i think an unspoken part of this also was that many countries

including the u.s. saw this as a way to pressure the syrian government and hezbollah, and the iran, which is there friend and supporter and partner. that was a kind of secondary subscript to this process. but those two things probably have to be seen as a package deal. >> why so much interest from the united states, especially since this has devoted millions to this court. >> well, because this is part of the ideological battle that is going on all over the middle east and the united states backed certain groups in the region. they are fighting a camp composed of syria, hezbollah, hamas was part of it, islamists, nationalists. so this is an interens struggle across the region. this struggle has been gown on

for many years. in 2005 this was at its peak. >> the suspects are at large. they are not going be in front of the court. what is the point, since even if they are convicted, and are caught later, they can be tried all over again. >> that's right, the point of it is to simply make a point. the point is a point that this kind of killing is not acceptable. these kinds of assassinations disrupting society, terrorizing people, killing and injuring people, simply cannot go on with impunity. and i think the feel among many in lebanon and around the region is that if a really strong, determined and widely supported international effort is made on this case, to spend the money and take the time and use the

diplomatic capital necessary to carry out the trails, that, perhaps it will act as a deterrent to other people. >> thank you for your time today. >> and we'll have much more for the interview tonight at 8:00 pm eastern. >> the fire that destroyed five homes near los angeles and burned hundreds of acres is nearly under control. the fire department said it's about 80% contained and by wednesday should be 100% contained. it started on thursday with a campfire. since then it burnt three square miles. >> traffic in central indiana is getting better after 30 cars involved in a pile-up was cleared. it took more than eight hours for tow trucks to clear the wrecks. no one was seriously injured in the accident. another blast of arctic air is on the way to us.

another polar vortex. not as cold >> yes, the giant polar vortex or core of cold air around the north pole will sag south. a little air is starting to push into the u.s. now, already we are going to be feeling that overnight, into the northern flames. the winds are picking up. they'll be gusting. anywhere from 15 to 30 miles across the great lakes. with the winds and the colder air, there's a day ahead where we'll have colder high temperatures around places in north dakota, over to minnesota. as we look at the high temperatures, fargo will hit three, we'll get to two below zero for minneapolis. earlier, colder air moving to the north-east lifting up moisture. this is where we got the light

snow off and on. we'll continue to get anywhere from one to three inches of snow. especially coming off the great lakes getting into early tomorrow morning. temperatures 47 and comfortable 43 in seattle in the midst of the football game. as we go to the east coast, mitts getting rolling to start the celebration. 36 for new york, 47 for washington. you can see the dividing line of the colder air to the north and the warmer to the south. slowly that will start to diminish and we'll all get cold. we'll get a streak of snow through the midwest, and low temperatures to start your monday - it will feel a lot chillier as you get going. >> big change there. >> still to come on al jazeera america - the opposition in syria agreeing to peace talks. that's done little to quell the violence in the war-torn country. >> revenge in the central

african republic as christians target muslims and peacekeepers arrive too late to save lives.

clsz >> welcome back to al jazeera america. hear is a look at the top stories this half hour. >> west virginia's water company is trying to assure people their tap water is safe. pregnant women have been cautioned against using the water. >> a video emerged of two men claiming to be the suicide bombers in the attacks on volgograd, warning to tourists coming to the winter games in sochi will get a "present." vladimir putin says that tourists will be safe. >> the united states is calling on ukraine to hold talks with protesters, days after bloody clashes between protesters. protests have been going on for weeks, and new laws restricting them is having the opposite

effect. >> a main group is expected to take part in peace talks on wednesday. the u.s. government calls the decision courageous. the united nations secretary-general ban ki-moon calls it a long-awaited chance to end the violence in syria, and announces the addition of iran to join the conference. he is an ally of bashar al-assad. >> as i said repeatedly, i believe iran needs to be part of the solution to the syrian crisis. >> a group called the islamic front says they reject the talks. so if a breakthrough is reached, it will be harder to implement it on the ground. >> violence in the war-rattled nation continues. >> as opposition leaders finally agreed to go to peace conference in switzerland, government

forces continued to hit targets in different parts of aleppo. the weapon of choice is barrels filled with explosives. the destruction is vast, and people continue to die. activists and res tents are desperate -- residents are desperate to find survivors. the leader of the free syrian army backed the opposition going to peace talks provided theyened the syrian regime. >> translation: we support any solution that guarantees a political traction of authority, that fulfils the syrian demands and ask the brother going to geneva to halt goals. bashar al-assad must leave. he must have no role in the future. a transitional government with full power should be reformed. prisoners should be released and humanitarian corridors opened. >> meanwhile there has been fighting between rebel forces and members from the al qaeda

linked islamic state in iraq. >> other parts of syria have had their share of the violence as well. >> government jets hit targets. >> a lot of talk here. let's get to jim walsh, a research consultant specialising in international security, and joins us from boston. the headline that broke is that the u.n. says iran can now attend the talks. is that a game charning? >> i think -- is that a game changer? >> it's a good thing. i don't think it's a game-changer. ultimately what happens in negotiations depends on what happens on the ground. if both sides think either the assad or the rebels think they'll win, they are not going be in the mood to negotiate. that's the determining factor. but i would say it's a positive thing. why, maybe not this round of

negotiation, but there's going to come a time when the sides will say enough is enough. we have been fighting too many are dead, let's negotiate. at that point it will be important that all the players have a voice. iran is supporting assad. they are not thrilled about that. they are doing that. if we get a settlement they need to be part of the scgs. that's a good thing. like you i don't expect we'll spect the magic to happen in geneva. iran does have a lot of influence over syria. can he not gently push assad to be receptive to a piece deal. >> i think it could be true under the right circumstances. but we are not there yet. another area where iran can be helpful is pushing assad to make progress on the chemical weapons. saddam hussein during the iraq war gassed them. i met a lot of veterans in iran, so that's an emotional issue for

them, i think iran could be helpful if we start to place problems on that front. pushing assad out, they may help around the edge, the russians can help around the edges. it's going to be their opinions that matter most. and the other players help at the edges, to try to move this in a different direction. finally in terms of humanitarian aid the parties will make progress in that area. >> senior officials say the talks need to set a realistic approach. what is the expectation. >> i think the iranians, when they say realistic. what they mean is there's - this is not a situation where assad will resign form, and if the talks come out with a blanket endorsement. that will encourage the rebels to fight. when every side fights, you get more and more humanitarian,

civilian deaths. the way i would interpret the way we should be realistic is we should not expect that anyone will put their guns down any time soon. >> why is that not an spction. a lot of people believe that. that country has seen violence, so many are suffering. why can't that be an expectation that some sort of peace might come out of the talks. >> you know, it's a great question to ask. it's one of knows core questions that seems obvious. and should always be asked. i stip over it. we -- skip over it. why won't it stop, because the folks doing the fighting. the ones with the gun, not the civilians, the rebels, the al qaeda groups, the assad army, they think they can bin, win and as long as they can win, they should fight, and if they lose the other side should murder all of them. that provides incentives not to negotiate and to keep fighting.

the other folks are victims caught in the middle. >> the civil war enters its third year. >> thank you for your perspective. >> join us tonight at 8:00 pm eastern for more on the geneva ii talks. it's a regular sunday even segment called "the week ahead." the israeli government will stop handing out gas masks to the public. defense officials say the likelihood of a chemical attack against israel dropped. syria handing over the weapons had a lot to do. it will be revealed at the end of the year after a defense assessment. there could be a break in the standoff in the pakistani gst. a spokesman for the group say they are ready for peace talks. pakistan has to improve its sincerity and authoritiy. the taliban declared a gee hard in the country. >> a struggle to contain the

sectarian violence according to the international committee for the red cross. 50 people have been killed. in the latest clashes a christian mob killed and burned two muslims in the street in the capital of bangui. this is as the country waits to elect an interim president tomorrow. barnaby phillips was there when the killings occurred. we warn that the video is graphic and some my feigned it disturbing. >> they are baying for blood. the crowd of christians wants to get their hands on a muslim hiding in the house. they say he was involved in the killing of a christian and now they want revenge. he's pulled from the house. it's too distressing to show you what happened next. but after the man was hacked to species he was tet on fire. a second muslim was murdered

nearby. importantly he was hiding in a church. he, too, was set on fire. as the kormss are abused, the crowd celebrates. >> translation: we will continue to do this for as long as muslims go on. >> it's hard to imagine what impacts the scenes will have on all those who watched. >> french peacekeepers arrived. it was too late. african coldiers from cameroon also appeared. they eventually moved into the crowd. >> it's a lawless situation here, and yet we are right in the middle of the capital bangui. under these circumstances the african and the french peacekeepers are struggling to keep a lid on the seg tarian hate -- sectarian head red which is bubbling up. >> this time the crimes were caught on camera. similar killings are happening

on a daily basis - not just here in bangui, but across the country. >> well 30 million people, according to human rights groups are saves right now. tonight you will meet a photographer who travelled the world capturing images of people in bondages >> these are the faces of modern-day slaves forced to work without pay. they work in goldmines, kilns in nepal, silk dying houses in india. 16 hours a day, no rest for food, water or bath room breaks. this child worked as a slave in a fishing village. his parents sent him away on the promise of education. instead he was sold as a slave.

acclaimed humanitarian photographer lisa christine documents their stories. >> entire families cloaked in a blanket of dust are forced to stack bricks on their head, up to 18 at a time. each brick weighing more than four pounds. they are made to walk hundreds of yards to a truck to place them on the back of the truck >> according to free the slaves, a nonprofit agency 21 to 30 million are trapped in slavery around the world. traffickers earn about $32 billion. every day products are made by slaves, such as cars, computers, chocolate, cell phones and clothing. >> they do it because they have been lied to and they believed someone and have been exploited. >> india has the largest slave population - 14 million. it's right here in our own backyard, 60,000 are enslaved in the u.s., according to the

agency free the slaves. we went along with the san francisco police sergeant who tried to determine if employees are working against their will. >> we want to make sure everything is okay. >> everything is okay. >> in san francisco one young woman who says she was brainwashed and forced to work in strip clubs shared her story with us, asking to remain anonymous, and says she's afraid of a man who methodically exploited her. >> i was young and vulnerable. >> the 19-year-old was earning 3,000 cash, from eight hour shifts stripping and handed her money tofr the man who made -- over to the man who made her dance. >> he told me he'd kill me if i left him, i was his prompt. >> after a manager at a club let her sleep in a close es to recover from fatigue instead of

dancing. she managed to get the strength to run away. >> i started to heel. >> do you have a message other other young women? >> it there are people that care about you, even though you feel you are off the rahs sized by society, there is help. >> in california, landmark laws passed requires phone numbers to be posted for support for victims of human slavery. kofi has been freed and reunited with his personalities. >> lisa christine took photos of some of the million who are still enslaved. she had them hold a candle to ship a light on their stories. >> heartbreaking stories. >> coming up a decade after hurricane katrina. a positive step for new orleans. >> i'm ben in new orleans, in a

city known for its food. there'll be new fresh food coming up. we'll talk about places around the country that are called food deserts. this might be a new oasis. that story next. >> when it's all said and done and i'm laying there and it's over, do you think i'll flick my winning on the tombstone. they'll not be on there >> ahead in sport, a successful college basketball coach takes on some of his harshest critics.

>> in new orleans a neighbourhood landmark an opening, eight years after being

flooded by hurricane katrina. the landmark is a grocery store. why does it mean so much. it's in an area considered a food desert. we are at the circle of food store. why is the store so special? >> it's an historic place. this is kind of a phenomenon that happened right-hand the country. like you said, the food deserts. in america, 2.5 million people live away from a grocery store. this store coming back, a big deal for the city and country, they are trying to provide healthy options. >> for a decade cyril and her mother have been on a search for fresh food. after hurricane katrina destroyed 80% of new orleans, getting groceries is a tough task. where the nearest store was over a mile away for many people.

a lot of folks did not come back, because they did not have this grocery in the area. it's so hard because there was no places here. you know, for older people too. many stores have reopened. the issue is in the urban areas. similar to other areas, the sheer lack of fresh food. 13% of the u.s. population lives more than a mile away from a grocery store. transportation is an issue, making those areas food deserts. in new orleans, there's one store for 14,000 people, but nationwide there's one grocery store for every 8500 people on average. >> it's vital because of people needing fresh food produce, meat and at a good price. >> many of the places that returned here served fast food, fried chicken and all-round poor

options. >> i remember one day i was walking outside here. and it was closed and i was working in here cleaning and a lady came up. she got down on her knees and wrapped her arms around me saying, "please bring the store back", she said "i have to travel too far on a bus" >> for the folks who counselled on it, having healthy choices is a big blessing. >> it's not all about eating nothing but healthy food. it's about eating great quality food, and enjoying those really great spurge times as well. >> if you can offer quality in another area of the city, you should do it in this area also, which is - i mean, this is a very rooted long-time community of african-americans. it's like a reunion. you came in and did everything. everybody met here.

and you were able to see your aunt and great aunt and cousin. >> in a place where it's about good family, friends and food, for jeanette giles, it's good to have an option. >> there's not just a disparity and geography, there's a disparity in place. in urban shopping centres prices can be up to 37% more than suburban areas. >> that is encouraging. i have passed by that growsry store many times. it was in horrible condition. a big success for the city. >> you and i both lived in new orleans. it's great to see the store back. >> new orleans did not make it far in the play-offs. >> almost. >> exactly. but i'll tell you who did. all right. back in august a lot of people predicted into the patriots and the broncos would beat the

combatons in the game. quarterback match of up. peyton manning making it to the super bowl. one is close to perfect on the day. and that was manning, throwing for 400 yards to go along for passes. as for brady, the denver defense kept him out of the end zone, too little too late. for the fifth time in the last eight years a manning brother is going to the super bowl. >> university of kentucky's coach is a polarizing figure in sport. some hold a perception of him that is unflatering, to say the least. michael eaves visited lexington to find out if perception is reality when it comes to coach cal. >> at a school where coaches

surpass legend status. john calipery is as revered in the bluegrass as those before him. in the four plus seasons he's been at the helm the wildcats won more than 80% of their games and made two trips. for many outside the program he represents everything that is wrong with college basketball. armed with a suit and gift of the gab. he was portrayed as a coach exploiting young men for his own game, without record for their future or that of the school. basketball hall of famer said of him: >> knight was referring to the nca's university of massachusetts, and university of
