event. a small city already joan run by journalists they say the event would have drawn too many people, both protectors and supporters. in a statement they said in the interest of public safety, the event will be canceled. haley a town of 8,000 does not have the infrastructure to support an event the size it can come. the decision comes after emails and phone calls calling him a deserter, and said several travelers got in touch,ens caling plans to visit. they also received complaints saying the town shouldn't treat bergdahl as a hero. still, many people in haley say they are happy for his family. >> we have been standing with beau, we have been standing strong, and we can stand strong with beau for a while longer. >> we also spoke to a few hotel managers that said they had not received any complaints and other declined to tell me, that their parents were very relieved.
6:32 pm
>> i have to talk to the chief about this. joining me now on the phone is the police chief of haley idaho, chief, appreciate it, thank you for your time, what has been the local reaction that has reached your good offices? to the cancellation of this event? well, we started getting phone calls from veteran affiliates saying they were going to come up and protest the event. we got a phone call from an attorney, acting about our protest laws which is -- the right to lawful assembly. but he said we could expect about 2,000 people from california, got another phone call from texas where they said they are going to bring up more than 1,000. originally when we had -- they brought this special event to us, it was to bring back bo home event, they were expecting 4500 people, would about max out the park, since this national news, and bring home event, or welcome
6:33 pm
back bo event, we estimate we could have had three times that amount, and there's no way that park would hold that many, so we didn't have the infrastructure, the organizationers couldn't pay for the secure to be needed for the event, because of the protestors and the probeau people. >> i want to drill down on this a little bit, if you don't mind. that was a welcome back beau event. i want to know from you, a chief, why in the final analysis was this event canceled. >> it was canceled because there had been too many -- if the venue that was selected it was canceled because public safety reasons. one of the attorneys wanted to know if the protestors would be allowed in with their protest signs, base basically have the
6:34 pm
protest evers against pro bo people. it would have been difficult to maintain security. >> chief, could you have gotten assistance in the infrastructure area in the security area from surrounding communities, could you have petitions the even the federal government for assistance if you wanted to move forward with this event? could you do it even now? >> well, first of all, it isn't the city of haley's event, it was an organizers event, so they would have been the ones -- if they wanted help with another venue, we could have asked on their behalf, but based on the security risks and stuff, they just decided to cancel and they had the city support. >> but in that statement, the organizers rights, there was not enough infrastructure to handle the event, is that coming from the organizers is
6:35 pm
that the organizers assessment, or is that the organizer's acsisment after a consultation with your office? is. >> that was their original assessment, because they didn't have to have enough money for the event, to bring in for example extra porta potties, or items like that. plows plus, pay for extra security. >> did you just agree by the organizers in. >> based on the phone calls, based on -- yeah. we have a folk festival in the park where they are going to have it, and we usually have 3500 people in that park, so 4500, 5,000 people would have maxed it out to capacity. and we were here and we with could have two to three times that amount. so we wouldn't have been able to fit everybody in. >> you agree with with that, that you didn't have the infrastructure the security in place to handle that kind of event of that size, do you believe, the controversial,
6:36 pm
surrounding his disappearance, and capture had anything to do with the cancellation of the event? >> it definitely brought attention to the event. and it increased the size potential side of the event, yes. >> do you feel feel that the community has been bulletlied? >bulletly bullied? >> not really. you know, it's national news, it's out there. people have formed their own opinions before mr. berghdal has been given his due process. so public opinion is out there. it is what it is. i am asking you this question, because my understanding is that you have known this family for over 20 years, do you have anything to say about the fact that this man's military service and the deal that was made for his release, has been so dissected by the
6:37 pm
media, and members of his own platoon, again, you have known this family for years are you in any way personally annoyed by what you are hearing and what has led to the cancellation of this welcome home event? >> i'm not annoyed by what had happened to the welcome home event, i'm annoyed by what is being said. i do understand everybody's innocent until proven guilty, and there is also constitutional rights of due process and they haven't done the investigation, and even talked to him. so i'm reserving my judgement and waiting until the facts come out. >> jeff gunter the police chief of haley idaho. chief, i can't tell you how much i appreciate your time. >> you bet. >> with with the release of sergeant berghdal, a number of families are now wondering what about our loved ones at least seven americans remain

6:40 pm
maybe make a difference deal. >> berg doll was military, and seized in afghanistan by the taliban. weinstein a civilian taken in pakistan by al quaida. a big difference to the u.s. government. but not to weinstein's family. >> he deserves to come home. >> the yellow ribbons can soon come down, but not here, not yet. >> lisa stark, al jazeera, rockville maryland. there response to the newly unified government, and the israeli housing minister says the community insulted israel by recognizing a government that include has mas. the government says 500 al quaida linked fighters have been killed since it began an offensive. the army has been frying

6:43 pm
ex-peoplism, plotting a grand conspiracy, and yet almost none of the complaints have been about educational standards they have all been about culture. and yet if the point of the system is to serve the needs of the demographic, then many of the parent whose live in places like this would say the school's work very well for them. more have been in favor of conservative islam. several will be stripped of their status on the grounds that they have failed children. culturally. this local member says the schools didn't understand their secular responsibilities. >> all the time -- the girls in the back, and boys in the front, what that leads to, just respective of the school of thought that you follow, is the whole idea of undermining the values and the principles to those young girls who will then be always in a different mind set that they are not good enough to sit in the front. >> so back to the school which we were shown
