11:02 pm
they dig for a few minutes and then they see the first sign of their daughter's clothes. about 40 seconds after that they see her face. upper body are finally free. about 30 seconds after that, she's still stuck and nonresponsive. and then, that's when she opposite her eyes. but still, they take a few minutes, one leg is stuck and then finally: she's free. and if this incredible story of determination to find her, incredible story of hope that she's actually going to survive, and a lot of people here are actually drawing the completely to what happened here in geneva, this morning there was a lot of
11:03 pm
doubt that these talks were even going to proceed. that both sides were actually threatening to walk away but they didn't and they agreed finally to meet for the first time in three years face to face tomorrow and a lot of people are pointing at that video from aleppo, pointing at that little girl being able to survive and perhaps just maybe that's a sign that these people here can make a little progress towards peace. >> nick shifrin, following the face to face meeting as it gets underway tomorrow from geneva. life pictures now, conflict is fueled by religious, political and social factors. that is downtown kiev the heart of the capital as it looks like a war zone tonight, armed riot police, standoff has been going on for weeks. at times there was a tense truce but not anymore.

11:05 pm
parliament. not what the protestors want but at least there's some movement. the drum beat is what you hear john. >> is this a tipping point in the crisis? >> well, i think it is a tipping point. because not only have we seen movement here in kiev but across the country. there has been really movement with protestors going into state houses, going into administrative buildings in at least nine different cities and small towns. at least 12 districts have been affected by this civil unrest, president yanukovych look at this and realizing this is much more than a protest in the square, which is what he has regarded it for the past eight weeks. the protestors emboldened by the fact they have support a little further around the nation, most of it in the west and central
11:06 pm
ukraine, generally ant antigovernment. >> how have protestors responded to the president's offer of concessions? >> with skepticism. there's very little trust of president yanukovych, he's shown little interest in giving concessions at all. what he has offered has been very little very vague, move through the parliament when he has the power to make the changes himself. a parliament that he has largely controlled in the past year, these laws that limit freedom of speaking, freedom of simply, and that's what they think they're fighting against tonight, as you see dramatic pictures in the center of kiev.
11:07 pm
that's why protestors have been out here all flight. it's about an hour until dawn in a bitterly cold evening and they are out in their thousands to show their government that they are up to keep on the pressure until president yanukovych makes the changes or steps down. >> jennifer glasse, thank you. now to egypt where a series of explosions, on the anniversary of egypt's 2011 revolution. four explosions all targeting police, killed six people, dozens injured. this cctv covering the worst of the gap, a group takes responsibility of this explosion. mohamed val has more. >> this is the aftermath of one. judge police shay the killing

11:33 pm
it's a couple of things john. sexual revolution, women are starting to work. there is a lot of sexual imagery everywhere we go, change laws, so i think there is, just like the u.s. had in the 1970s, india is going through that kind of sexual revolution. the difference here is it's all happening at the very same time. class is breaking down, women are coming to the workplace, there's all sorts of westernization and globalization, that is at play. and i think there's an extreme backlash to this revolution which is why we have suddenly this sort of surge of sexual crime, sexual violence in all this. >> the world has a difficult
11:34 pm
time and i'm sure people in india have a difficult time understanding cultural norms where the council of a town allows a woman to be gang raped or in fact orders it. >> absolutely, john. and you're right about this. as i told you earlier, there is a backlash to the sexual revolution. and they're sort of, this is how the village councils come in. these village councils have been dictated by the india supreme court to have no right whatsoever, but they're still constituted to have moral policing of their towns. this is a very common practices in villages across northern india. >> talk about, in india, i'm going to allow you to put this back into your ear and we'll try
11:35 pm
again. >> sorry, thank you. >> especially in a country that has had a female president. >> absolutely, you know, it's -- could you repeat the question again i think i lost some part of it. >> i was just going to say, i think it's hard to understand what's going on with women's rights in india now in a country that's already had many years ago a woman president. >> absolutely. you know, that's the sort of the irony of the situation. the most powerful woman in the country today is a woman. we've had a woman prime minister, we've had a woman president. you know the female goddess is worshipped in india above all gods. it is an ironical situation but it is time for an indian
11:36 pm
feminist movement which is beginning to happen. a lot of women have raised their voices. during the 2013 delhi gang rape, social media, technology is going to change a lot of this as well. so i do think that we are at the beginning of something really big here. >> is this generational or is it urban, rural, what do you think? >> you know john, i think it's a combination, you know, india's urbanizing at an extremely fast rate. the statistics say every one minute some 36 villagers are coming to the city and there's so much growth even the villagers are urbanizing at an incredibly fast rate. it's the biggest migration from rural to urban that the world
11:37 pm
has ever seen which india will have in the next five years. i do think rural india will take the same path as urban india. that said, things are changing really quickly. i do think as well that this is definitely a generational thing. people of my generation especially women of my generation have an educated and coed schools, they have access to technology, they're at the workplace, their moms were not, they are marrying for love, caste doesn't mean so much anymore creating a very definite social movement spearbled in sexuality. >> ira trevati, we appreciate your insight and thank you for sharing it from new delhi.
11:38 pm
two memberships of our team have had their extension for at 15 days. peter greste, mohamed fahmy have been detained for almost a month, accused of spreading lies, and today arizona senator john mccain was critical of their detainment. >> it is not only of their human rights but any aspect of freedom of the press. al jazeera has been chronicling events in egypt probably more intensively than any other world network. and for the egyptian government to keep them in prison i think is another indicator that this military government and it's really that's what it is, is not keeping with the standards of
11:39 pm
international behavior that we would expect. >> two other journalists from our sister channels, reporters abdalla al-shami and meumed badr have been held for five months. al jazeera says that the aggregations -- allegations are unfounded. >> shipping channels and the dust there, the state board of pollution, the state pollution board ruled that the governor and the epa failed to prove that piles pose and imminent threat and the dust poses an imminent threat. pet coke is a byproduct of parolpetroleum. i sat down with her with
11:40 pm
"talk to al jazeera" and asked her about her dealings with the obama white house. >> it is the most secretive white house that i have ever been involved in covering. the obama administration has had seven criminal leak investigations. that is more than twrie the twie the number of any previous administration in our history. >> you think this comes directly from the president? >> i would think that it would have to. i don't know that, but certainly enough attention has been focused on this issue that if he departed from the policies of his government, i think we'd know that at this point. >> so it makes it more difficult for the new york times to do its job in your opinion? >> absolutely it does. >> so let's go back in administration if we can. you were in washington during at least the first term of george w. bush. >> yeah. >> was the media or the new york times misled by the bush
11:41 pm
administration when it came to the iraq war? >> yes, we were, there's no doubt about that. >> were we fooled? >> we were i think not diligent enough. i don't know if we were purposefully fooled. i think that there was a terrible echo chamber where unreliable iraqi defectors were speaking both to members of the media, and to intelligence officials and high officials in the bush administration, and that an echo effect took hold. >> let me dive right into the news then and talk a little bit about the nsa, and edward snowden. >> uh-huh. >> daniel ellisberg was quoted recently as saying that edward snowden was his hero. do you see snowden as a hero or a traitor? >> i view him as i did julian a
11:42 pm
sang as a very good source of worthwhile information. >> how do you make those decisions? >> we make those decisions trying to apply a common sense balancing test where we respectfully listen to concerns of the u.s. government that publishing a story is going to actually harm national security. and we balance those concerns against the importance and newsworthiness of the information. and our primary duty which is to keep the public informed. >> for the entire interview with jill abramson you can watch "talk to al jazeera", 7 p.m. eastern, 4:00 p.m. pacific. ross shimabuku, what a night.
11:43 pm
>> start spreading the news. new york knicks, carmello anthony was getting his groove on. carmello had 37 points in the first half loan, including that buzzer beater. record breaking bernard king's 60-point performance. also broke the record of 61 set by kobe bryant. five years ago. super bowl 48 between boronkabrongbroncos and the sea. i recently got a chance to talk with dr. michael joiner. what happens to your body during
11:44 pm
the super bowl. >> one thing for younger people they can get a tremendous testosterone spike, when their team wins. and when their team loses, a low grade depression. generate life threatening cardiac events. >> who are the people most at risk? >> middle aged men with a history of hypertension, diabetes and a history of core flare events. the stress of watching the team on tv, especially if they are a partisan fan, can lead to things like emergency visits and like i said heart tacks. >> doctor, people are going ogo about a thatogo bananas when thr
11:45 pm
home team. >> players have to learn to control their enthusiasm, just as audiences do. >> is that realistic for passional fan. >> yes, i think it's realistic for the passionate fans. the players have to learn to control themselves, the audience should too. >> john fox, he's had heart issues, what is the issue with a coach that's involved? >> john had a congenital defect that they had to replace during the off season. pooh coach has to take care of himself. they may be sleep-deprived, and need to follow the standard stress control physical activity and dietary guidelines the rest of us need to do and try to make sure they're not sacrificing their health in pursuit of victories. >> so based on your studies the hospitals in seattle as well as
11:46 pm
denver they should be staffed appropriately? >> i think they polite want to be ready and hopefully, the public safety people in both cities will do a great job where other interesting things might lap and people might be in a high state of readiness. you'd really hate to have tragic events occur, whether a, your team is getting to the super bowl and perhaps b, your team winning. that should be a case of celebration and not a factor. >> some of those things i did not know. >> then when he talks a little more, this is deadly stuff. >> it increases testosterone level and the losing team could lead to heart atax. >> interesting stuff ross. 50 years later, a surprising look at their fishes album in america. plus game over, our first
11:47 pm

11:48 pm
nothing to show for his 12 career matches against nadal, 2-12-0 head-to-head. 2-0 in grand slams and 12-0 all time. this matchup has been so lopsided, he hasn't won a set against nadal. >> women tomorrow, another aussie open final appearance, third in four years. she has one major title to >> well, today was another particularly good day towards texas. you can see we saw a lot of snow and icing. that fell throughout the night and day. things are getting much better but where is that going? it's going over much to the east, louisiana, mississippi, highway 10, anywhere from mobile
11:49 pm
to new orleans, that is going to be an answer. tomorrow, the temperature is shooting up, dallas expected to go to 62. san antonio going to 65. that condition will remain nice. look at the dive in temperatures for tuesday all the way back to below freezing. across the southwest we are dealing with a drought situation and it has increased over the last couple of months. you can see extreme drought over 60% of the state. unfortunately they're looking at no resolve in that situation. and this is a look ahead for your game weekend as we could towards the super bowl, things are looking fairly decent as we go to new york for next weekend. sunday, snow may be in your forecast, but high 36. that's look at your national weather. news after this.

11:53 pm
hands. there was a lot of buildup before from the press and tv and by the time they got here their first single was a hit, their future was sets. >> meet the beatles was one of the first albums i owned. why is that relevant today? >> it is absolutely relevant, i don't think you can speak to a single pop musician who wasn't influenced by that album, i want to hold your hand, i saw her standing there. everybody had a special place for this album, the first album that was released by capitol in the united states, the first chance we had to hear and experience beatle mania. >> that visit to the united states and the ed sullivan show did that somehow catch the country by surprise? >> i think so. before "i want to hold your

>> bill gates has made his first move. they are playing with the timer. bill gates has two minutes, magnus has 30 seconds. it is a time watch game. magnus responds with a very unusual opening, move 1. then transposts to asked and answered they've app. it's clear bill gates hasn't studied chess that much. he has put his bishop on d-3. hasn't hung anything important or dropped any pieces. it's to hinder his development. obviously he's not the world champion so he's going to have some trouble. early on magnus just launches an all out attack on bill gates king. i don't think it was entirely sound. i think bill gates could have been close to winning but very
11:56 pm
early, with just a plin, defines the move. bill gates has to find the only move to be immediately check mated, rook to k 1, the only defender knight on f-3 was under attack, f 1 to t-1, instead he plays knight takes e 5 and he got mated in five moves or so. >> 30 years ago today, steve jobs introduced the very first mac computer. he did it at a shareholder's meeting in california. the mac had a floppy disk and a small screen. the headlines of juries ahead. >> i'm a physicist, and i've gotten a whole new understanding of the meaning of inertia, from trying to get these ideas out... >> flip school, part of our week long in depth series
