thousands of yazidis, desperate to get off the mountains. the u.s. and others are sending weapons to the kurdish forces fight the the islamic state. it is said to be a triple. >> iraq nominates a new prime minister. they want the counter prime minister nouri al-maliki out of office, after two terms marked by bitter sectarian clashes and the military failure to stop the state group offensive. in martha's vineyard president obama stepped away from his vacation to praise the move. >> under the iraqi constitution, it's an important step to unite the different communities. i urge all leaders to work peacefully through the process in the days ahead. >> nouri al-maliki says his would-be successor's appointment is unconstitutional and invalid

and insists he'll fight to stay in office. >> i'm joined from blooming tonne by lee hamilton. he currently serves on the c.i.a.'s external advisory board and director on congress at the indiana university. going back a decade, you warned if iraq became a failed state it would be at the tof of the list of -- top of the list of breeding grounds for terrorists. given the success that the islamic state has had. are we seeing the nightmare scenario taking place? >> we are getting close to it. i'm not sure you can call iraq a country any more. it seems to be headed towards divisions of various kinds. but the - it has to play out in the next few weeks and months.

state. >> how dangerous do you think the situation there and in syria homeland? >> well, i think there's a real threat to the american homeland. the thing that we have been concerned about, as a safe haich in iraq, syria or anywhere, from which an attack can be launched, as happened on 9/11. that's our major concern. we have interest in that region as well. we have friends and allies, and a lot of american installations and people in that area. >> we have more than the single concern of the homeland. >> aside from the interests abroad, we are seeing what may be a genocide against the yazidi and other non-sunni muslims.

we heard a general talk about how the involvement is limited. how much will that scare the i.s.i.s., if the united states does not do more? >> what is driving american policy is the feeling of the american people that they do not want to get involved in another overseas conflict. they have had enough of putting american forces into the middle east. and so every american politician from the president on down, says "we are not going to put boots on the ground." the question becomes "what are you willing to do, and how many are you willing to do to stop i.s.i.s. to contain them, roll them back, or to defeat them. and those are different objectives, of course. now, american politicians frequently use the word genocide now, because they know that americans will support the use

of force, according to the polls, if the situation is a genocide or american citizens are under attack in some way. many of the american politicians and military leaders talk about genocide. it's a serious threat. there's no doubt about that. the real policy question for the americans and president is how far are you willing to go in the use of multy force -- military force to stop i.s.i.s., or to contain it or roll it back. that's the key statement or concern of the policy maker. i don't think it's been resolved. it will depend, make a large part depend, on what the iraqi government is able to do and whether they can get the political house in order. >> they are having a lot of trouble. prime minister evgeni malkin,

who governed in a sectarian way in the u.s. wants him out. and he's not been able to create the u.s. that they want. the president has named a different member of nouri al-maliki's party. we are in the middle of this mess politically in loik. -- in iraq. can we afford to wait for that killed. >> i don't think you'll get far in moving i.s.i.s. out of iraq, unless you have the support and effectiveness of the iraqi government. the americans are the ones that put nouri al-maliki in. we have been supporting him for a decade or more, and we are switching our position. from my stand point we should have stopped supporting nouri al-maliki a decade ago,

certainly five or six years ago. we have kept supporting him time and time again. now we see his staying in there will mean an extended political fight, ineffectiveness with the iraqi government. we, the united states, switched our position, and we are saying he has to go. i think he should have gone five years ago. the question now, so far as the iraqi government is concerned is not can they get nouri al-maliki out, but can they put in an inclusive government that can act and be effective. politics moves slowly in that country, taking a long time to make a decision. when the president said we are in for a long haul here, we have to play the long game, he's exactly right. this will not be resolved, the future of the iraq in the next few days or week, it's a long haul. >>

nouri al-maliki made noises about using the military, does he have the power? one of the accusations is the terrible showing of the iraqi army and fighting against the islamic state is he used the army as an instrument for patron im, and the best -- patronage, and the best offices have not been promoted. >> we spent $25 billion on the iraqi army, according to one account, and the result has been modest to say the least, and maybe disastrous. the question now becomes can we, the united states, train, make an effective army there, even if they have effective political leadership. so you have got some big hurdles to overcome if you are going to establish a government that will

have the wherewith all, the effectiveness to deal with i.s.i.s. now, i.s.i.s. has some problems themselves, of course. they are not unbeatable by any means, but the key question for us is what we are willing to do to go after them, and what is our objective. do you want to contain them. that's one objective. do you want to roll them back, and what does that mean. a lot of pundits are talking about that, they have to spell it out, or do you want to defeat them. what does it mean, and how many resources are we, the united states, military resources, boots on the ground, air power, intelligence, training, all the rest of it, how much are we willing to do for how long a period. these questions, so far as i can see are unresolved, and in many cases not addressed. >> so many questions at a time of concern. congressman lee hamilton, it's good of you to join us. thank you. >> thank you. meanwhile the islamic state

continues to add to its deproou some rep u -- gruesome reputation. a warning some of what we show and discuss is graphic. from the murderous persecution of tenses of thousands of -- tens of thousands of the yazidi, isolated on a hillside, surrounded by fighters trying to kill them, from executions, public beheadings, and two women stolen to death, it's now been reported, for adultery. and it makes horrifying use of children, having a frightening degree of success in getting kids to join. as we see in this viral for more on the brutality of the islamic state in syria and iraq, including the use of child

soldiers, i'm joined by state college peninsula by a professor of security studies at the university of the massachusetts, and the author of "small arms - children and terror." good to have you with us. the brutality of the islamic state is staggering. from the massacres of the yazidi men, and the reports of enslaving yazidi women, to enslaving and stoning to death of a woman for adultery, in a syrian city, the capital, if there is one, of the islamic state. are people terrified of anything that goes? >> absolutely, they are portraying themselves - if you watched the video at the end of eid they had a video saying "greetings from the islamic calafat", they were not showing the stonings of women for

adultery, beheadings, or people's heads. on posts and fences - something out of "game of thrones." the reality is different from what they are portraying, but they are able to attract 10,000 foreign fighters. >> they are putting out propaganda videos. this weekend we saw horrible pictures of an australian boy holding up the severed head of an islamic state victim. the boys father, an australian, an i.s.i.s. fighter, posting it with a caption saying "that's my boy." australia prime minister called it barbaric. nothing would surprise me. how do they justify twisting a child's mind in this way? >> i think that i was shocked. i saw that this was posted to a facebook page and twitter. his son is seven.

he has two sons, three, that he has brought with him. i can't imagine how this isn't a form of child abuse. >> what they are doing is manipulating children, and this is just a form of - at least for me, of almost like a cult. a brainwashing. they are making this brutality normal, and every day, and it's a way of desense sittizing the children to the fact that these are real people. the child doesn't look comfortable. it's a shocking photo. he has to use both hands, it's a heavy head. they are not showing this in their video. this is where, i think, they have done us a favour, showing the brutality, and the reality that they are portraying is not the reality of every day existence. the process of manipulating kids begins early, they are involving kids in different places in getting them into a mindset.

>> absolutely. it's not just groups getting the kids involved in jihad. part of what they have done in focussing on recruitment and mobilizition - i spent time in sri lanka, the ltte had a children's subdivision, we saw in northern ireland with the professional ira and shin feign. this is not exclusive to islam, that terrorist groups start the kids early and train them from a young age. this is on the vice tv when she showed the islamic state part two. one of the fathers said these children will be indoctrinated properly. there's an intent to make sure the kids grow up with the ideology of their parents, to perps. >> you published an analogy and wrote about a 10-year-old girl in afghanistan, how she was groomed for martyrdom.

>> in fact, she was groomed by her brother, a taliban commander. she decided she didn't want to do it. what we see in some cases is the children are coerced or they don't know what they are doing. i spent time in pakistan at a facility where they are training suicide bombers. this was the pakistani taliban, as young as six. the kids don't understand what they are engaged in. getting them out is important. cults. >> for the west, something we have to worry about, something you focused on, the recruitment of women as terrorists, including a big effort to get western women, and we saw an example of a young woman colorado. >> yes, i think ms con ollie was

mistaken in the role she'd have, training thinking she'd be a front line fighter. the majority of women are not going to fight the enemy, but to become mothers and propagate the next generation. what we see an twitter is up to 26 women... bombers. >> i.s.i.s. is not looking for women suicide bombers yet. that may be the next stage. we have seen female suicide bombers in iraq. they are looking at them in a traditional way. it took the taliban many years before they had suicide bombers. most of that population don't buy into the idea of a woman being equal to a man. >> it's a scary situation. good of you to join us to discuss these unpleasant topics. thanks thanks.

>> thanks for having me. >> now for more stories from around the world. we begin in ferguson missouri, a suburb reeling after 18-year-old michael brown was shot and killed by police, altercation. >> it was my first born son. >> everyone i know knew my son. i wish i could have been there to help him. anything. protesters took to the street after they turned violence, damaging and looting stores. the police chief called for calm, emphasising the importance of the investigation. >> a man lost his life.

a police officer is involved in this. we need to make sure that this investigation is done right. we get one chance to do it. >> and now the fbi has opened an investigation into possible civil rights violations connected to the shooting. >> joining us from st. louis is diane eastabrook. what is the mood like in st. meeting. >> i am. and actually this is inside the church. it's standing room only. they were expecting 800 people. it looks to be about 300 people in the parking lot. they wanted to start a dialogue among the people in the community, clergy and law enforcement. some of the people i talked to said there was a disconnect and long simmering essentials in communities like

ferguson, which is 30% african american, and the police department. they wanted to come together for a dialogue. they don't think the police department understand the issues that the african american community face and hope to air sox of those differences. >> do they expect protests into the night tonight. >> it's hard to say. there's a strong police presence. there are police across the street and inside. earlier today the police - police chief in st. louis said he's hoping for calm, but is prepared for violence. >> let's hope for calm. diane eastabrook in st. louis. thank you very much. >> next we head to ukraine, where fears are growing that russia might invade. according to ukranian officials, there are 45,000 russian troops on the border, and a secretary-general of n.a.t.o.

says there's a high probability of a russian attack. >> we see the russians developing the narrative, and the pretext for such an operation under the guise of a human deterrent operation, and we see a military build up that could be used to conduct such illegal military operations ukraine. >> we end in turkey where prime minister recep tayyip erdogan is set to president recep tayyip erdogan in the first presidential election held on sunday. he was declared the winner. the final vote tally will not be announced for several days. having served the two terms as prime minister, he's moving to the presidency, and office that is mostly ceremonial. many expect him to expand the powers of president and create a u.s.-style strong presidency.

that is some of what is happening around the world. coming up, the 72 hour middle east ceasefire is holding, but hamas threatens the peace talks are a last chance to avoid a stalemate. a closer look next. >> ethical questions on ebola. why have three americans been treated with the serum, and now africans have. and harmeli aregawi. >> it looks like one seemingly icy challenge raised a lot of money for a good cause. more coming up. and while you are watching, let us know what you think: >> al jazeera america presents >> we all live for the moment that's all i'm trying to do 15 stories, 1 incredible journey >> edge of eighteen coming september only on al jazeera america

israeli and palestinian negotiators resumed indirect talks in cairo as a 72 hour truce that began on monday seems to be holding. the new negotiations will be the last chance for an agreement to avoid a return to the fighting. hamas

signalled it may have modest goals to the talks. until now they demanded an end to the israeli blockade, and israel insisted on demilitarizing gaza before moving forward. >> joining us is erin david miller, vice president at the woodrow wilson center for scol areas, and served for the secretaries of state and helped to form u.s. policy on the middle east and israeli-arab peace process. hamas said on monday that negotiations would be the last chaps for an agreement. so far both sides are demanding what they demanded all along - a lift of the israeli egyptian blockade. israel demanding demilitarization. can negotiators pull off that deal in a short ceasefire? >> not in it represents the fundamental demands. the reality is gaza will not be

economically transformed overnight, and demilitarization, if it means taking the weapons away and dismantling 10,,000-15,000 forces assembled and trained over the last 6-7 years in gaza, that will not happen. the question is if there'll be a balance that can meet both sides needs, closer to the middle. rafah opened up fishing zones, extended. the egyptians were preventing some weapons, and importing restrictions on the part of israelis. that would be a lot if you can get that. i'm not sure you can. but i think that is the objective. if, in fact, you can't get it, it's conceivable that you can get a continuation off and on at

a reduced level of violence between the two. i think neither side can afford to go back to the fighting of the last couple of weeks. >> a couple of days ago you wrote that hamas was the clear loser in the conflict. hamas will have to get something if, after all this death and destruction, and what would be enough. there are reports that hamas is signalling that they'll have modest goals, do you think that will be the case? >> well, i think, again. this gets to the - i think the most elusive and intriguing intervention of this crisis, and why assist different from the previous two, resolved in 2008/2009 through a unilateral cease fire, and the second through an egyptian agreement, which was modest. this time around there are two

parties with higher expectations. israelis are prepared to understand they can't get demilitarization. hamas, on the other hand, i think wants fundamental change in the status of gaza, and they want to be seen to be the agency and the deliverers of this transformation. unless they downscale, you could have no agreement, and an episodic, but not as intense an escalation as we lost over the last several weeks. this problem has no solution, not a comprehensive solution. it may have an outcome, and that's what i think the egyptians are hoping to shape. somewhere between what hamas and the israelis want. i don't know if it's possible. >> you mentioned the rafah

crossing, and that involves egypt agreeing to allow for more movement through the crossing. the jerusalem post is reporting for the first time hamas is making noises about the fact that it might allow palestinian authority forces to be the ones to man the boarder crossing. you gave the palestinian authority and your report card on what happened, you gave them a c plus, could the palestinian authority do better here, and managing to exert some control over gaza that might lead to a this? >> yes, i mean, the pa is the bridge. it's clearly the brim for the egyptians, how invested the israelis are i'm not sure. yes, i think the palestinian authority could benefit from this. there's a big difference between a symbolic presence over crossing points and a return of the

palestinian authority to control gaza. >> the palestinian authority said that, today, on this show, they have said that, that hamas is one part of the palestinian authority, and the unity government, but it's, as i think you are employing. it's likely much more than what the pa folks are willing to admit. before we go, i want to play a sound byte by president obama, something he said in an interview about binyamin netanyahu, and his popularity in the wake of the war in gaza and it could be a mixed blessing. >> if he doesn't feel internal pressure, it's hard to see him making difficult compromises, including taking on the settler movement. that's a tough thing to do. with respect to mahmoud abbas it's a slightly different problem. in some ways he's too strong, mahmoud abbas is too weak to bring them together and make

the bold decisions that seb at or make. >> do you agree, and should the u.s. make a bold move and bring the parties to washington as some predesassessors have done? >> binyamin netanyahu's problem is not, in my judgment, that he is strong or weak. the reality is idea logically his self-image seems to preclude him from making the decisions, particularly initial refugees or the jerusalem issue, let alone trying to figure out what june '66 borders means in practice. he never saw himself in that rolt. it's a huge transition for him to make. so i'm not sure that the president - it's an artful description, but i'm not sure that the president has this right. the reality is mahmoud abbas has

the willingness to do a deal, but not the capacity. binyamin netanyahu has the capacity, but because of his way, the way he concedes of himself, doesn't have the willingness. and in order to do this. you need two leaders who are least in harmony, number one, that they have the power to do it, and they want to do it. this is the grand prize in the arab, israeli conflict, arabian-palestinian final deal, the big enshall arda, and to do it you need leaders who are risk ready, not risk adverse. frankly, including the leader in washington, we don't have those kinds of winners. >> it's a shame to hear that. aaron david miller, always good to have you with us. >> pleasure. turning to the ebola crisis, more than 1,000 people have died.

reuters reports that liberia's president said that the u.s. approved sending doses of an experimental drug to doctors in her country who have attracted the disease. the announcement comes over why three americans, a spanish treatment and two others received the treatment while african patients hadn't? several asked for zmapp and were told there were virtually no doses available and the effectiveness were yet to be proven the. on monday the world health organisation debated whether it was ethical to give unproven medication for patients. the alternative for not testing it is death, has been said. >> we are joined by a bioeth sift and senior visor to president obama's bioethics commission, and a member of the department of medicine at the

academy of science. does liberia's administration have a point. if i had ebola, i wouldn't care if a drug was untested and unapproach if there was a chance it could help. why have the debate over the ethics of providing the drug? >> in this situation the worry is if something goes wrong with the drug, that people in these countries will be afraid that they are being experimented on as human guinea picks, and there have been experiences of that. so they are trying to be careful about that. one reason to give it to health care providers, and this is late, breaking news. i'm hearing about this in the the last hour. there's a multiplier effect. you want to take care of health care workers and health care workers, one hopes, would be able to understand better than others the implications of this, the fact that it is an experiment and they could give an informed concept.

>> what do you make of the fact that president obama said it was premature to send the drugs to west africa. it got to the point where the drugs going to the spanish priest and three medical workers, three westerners, is the pressure too strong. a bioeth sift says it looks bad that: i thought the ethical conversation was premature. i was told there was only a handful, and now you hear about doses going to liberia. on. >> indeed. i sent emails to colleagues and said "what's going on, we were told there were a few doses?" so i have to say this is something that i hope will clarify itself in the next 24 hours. it's

surprising to me that there is some to send to liberia. >> the experience with the drug, other than minor tests on works. >> no, that's right. my understanding is that the monkey data is incomplete. nonetheless, this is a public health emergency. i read that they are unrolling economic consequences for the country, so there's a generalised panic, which is really not appropriate at this point. i think that we are going to be able to get this under control, the brave people are going to the regions to take care of the patients. this is - this shows that the international infrastructure - not only for the delivery and emergency of this kind of medication, but the allocation decisions, that infrastructure is not in place. today there was a meeting of eth sifts in geneva. we don't know what they decided on. but i bet they were talking about how the world health

organisation should allocate this, even if there are more doses, scarce resources in undeveloped country. >> and the world health organisation has a news conference scheduled for tuesday. what you were saying about what is happening in africa, airlines are not flying to some countries. they have closed their borders to people from other countries, it's really, you know, it's a mess on so many levels, a lot of the people are dying. is the only home the u.s. government. so few people do get ebola, and it's expensive to develop the therapies, they are developing vaccines. in the end is the the u.s. government financing research into these drugs? >> i mean, as you know, medication for diseases that tend to occur in undeveloped countries is not a terrific market. there are a lot of liabilities, so ultimately it has to be intergovernment at response. u.s. government is the big

player in just about everything still. and, of course, our open defense department is important in trying to understand the mekan. of ebola, and the serum. they were involved in helping to do some work on it. it has to be an american involvement. no question. >> so many issues raised by this. a pleasure to have you with us. >> time to see what is trending on the web. >> most people have heard of the ice bucket challenge, a viral movement aiming to raise awareness for als, is proving to be successful. the challenge is simple, record a video of yourself pouring a bucket of ice water over your head, post it on social media, again. >> eth ill kennedy did it, encouraging president obama to do it. marteda stewart, and others accepted the challenge. it was started in massachusetts

by pete brady, diagnosed with als in 2012. his parents have been active in raising awareness for als. >> we have been hitting our head against the wall, and who knew all it would take is a bag of ice and a bucket. >> some argue that social media cam pains are self-indulgent, rather than productive. during the 10 day period, the national office received $150,000 in donation, last year they received about $14,000. that is not including chapter offices across the country. looks like the social media campaign is producing results. >> that's great. it's a terrible disease, and we hope financing for research is a good thing. >> straight ahead, the entertainment world mourns the lose of robin williams.

as nice and unpretentious as robin williams. let's begin with your thoughts. it's shocking and sad that we lost a great actor and comedian. >> it's true. one thing i have not noticed is how extraordinary it is. big movie stars do not as a rule commit suicide. i can't think of anyone that does something like this. i think we'll see talks, open the minds about the depression, and people that suffer from such things. robin williams was an extraordinary guys, one of the great family comedic actors of the last 50 years, a tom hanks level box office star. besides hanks and eddy murray hardly anyone sold tickets in a nonaction capacity. he has extraordinary credibility in the hip world. he was a great stand-up comic and had a brilliant mind, as i am sure you saw. it's an inconsistent lating

thing that -- scintillating thing that bounced off walls. >> i saw him perform in chicago. he is the fun yist human being i saw. johnie carson thought so too, he was one of his last guests. he struggled with substance abuse and entered rehab and was open about his drinking problems. he studied at julliard, went to l.a., did the comedy clubs, landed a role new york on "happy days", and so impressed gary marshall and was given his own shows, one of the funniest shows, "mork arnd mindy." >> exactly, he was one of the first big stars that could improvise on television, in a way that did the practice a little bit of justice. he was an enormous, you know, sitcom star back in those days. again, he had a credibility as a stand-up guy.

it wasn't like he was sold out. his talents were so big they could encompass both at the time what was seep to be -- seen to be a sitcom. >> he moved into big films, everything from "good morning vietnam", and "mrs. doubt fire." >> it was app enormous hit. >> he won the oscar for "good will hunting," written by ben aflac and matt damon. he'll have a legacy as an actor. >> that's almost an art film, and showed his breadth. he could walk into anything and show up almost anyone, as effortlessly as he would go into a different dialect or jump into a stick as you can see him. he lived a great life.

the movie star life. had the divorces to prove it. the dalliances with nannies, the cocaine adibz. when you see the outporings of grief on twitter. he had the respect of everywhere world. >> it's behind respect. this is a man who was beloved. he was supportive of cif fer and dana reeve -- christopher and dana reeve, he was active in helping others, hosting comic releafs with whoopy gold berg and others. he worked for the u.s.o., travelling to kuwait, iraq, afghanistan, and president obama released a statement that said in part: . by.

>> he was a larger than life star, right. but showed in good. that he could condense himself and become part of a larger hole, which again is the mark of a great actor and person, and someone who was never as full as himself as we have seen with other stars. it's a sad night. i don't think we have ever seen quite so big a star take his own life. i hope it brings awareness to people. >> i hope to does. good to have you with us. he leaves behind a wife and three children. his time post was a happy birthday message to his daughter, linking to a picture of them from their childhood. robin williams was 63 years old. >> a lot of these mining sites are restricted >> a silent killer... >> it's got a lot of arsenic in it >> you know your water's bad, and you know you're sick >> unheard victims...

>> if you want free press in the new democracy, let the journalists live. today's data dive looks at changes in the educational system. the school year marks the first time u.s. public schools have more minority students than white students. that's right, they'll be the majority. whites make up 49.87% of the student body, but it's a drop of 15 percentage points since 1995. a boom in the hispanic population is fuelling the change. latinos are 26% of all students. 15% are african-american. there's a need for language, cafeteria lunches to reflect better cultures. the changing ethnic make up

meant racial techs. schools in jefferson paris settled with the justice department over bias. hispanic students were bullied and encouraged by administrators not to register. a number of schools across the country whose demographics shifting saw racially charged spikes, involving a brawl in minnesota with 200 kids. a superintendent in pennsylvania said some parents rejected diversity and abandoned public schools for private ones. on the other hand other parents like the diverse schools because they better prepare their kids. >> the whole country will have more minorities than whites. >> investigators are looking at video of a crash involving nascar star tony stewart. the latest next. so many money stories

in nascar. the following is disturbing. tony stewart forced kevin ward into a wall. ward got out of his car guesturing at the 3-time champion. stuart's car spun out, hit ward and he was tossed 50 feet. we will not show the impact, but an autopsy confirmed the 20-year-old died of blunt force trauma. investigators reviewed a second video with a different angle on the accident. bob has been covering the story and joins us from charlotte, north carolina. good to have you with us. a terrible story. let's start with the latest on the investigation. you reported that investigators viewed two videos with different angles. do we know anything about what the video shows? >> we don't know much. all we know is it is a different angle. what we know is what the sheriff said today, that still there are

no facts and - nor evidence that shows that the criminal - the criminal act happened during this tragedy. >> most people who have been interviewed about this talked about it being unintentional. there is a caution flag out, and the witness told you that the kind of cars used in the races will fish tail, and tony stewart should have been able to see wart. and he throttled the car up. statements? >> no one knows what tony stewart was thinking. he throttled the car. you'd need to throttle it to

make it turp, like if you were -- turn, like if you drove a jet ski. the question is, did he throttle it to turn or scare, give warning to seven i don't think anyone believes tony was trying to hit kevin, but there are doing. >> if this was another driver, it would be called a tragedy, but tony stewart has a reputation of being a hot head. >> there's plenty of video of him throwing his helmet at another car after they get into an incident. spinning out. cars of drivers he feels are blocking him or holding him up. he's a fiery guy and a racer. again. there's no video of him trying to hurt someone.

i think that's where people are trying to balance, you know, tragedy. >> the racing industry probably - likes some of the controversy, not the terrible accident, but the - you know, the driver getting angry and throwing a helm, going on a -- helmet, going on a track and killing someone. should racing have cracked down on this before if people did things to put themselves and others in danger? >> that's a good question. the big question will be what will they do going toward. drivers have been getting out of their cars for years. they don't usually get as close as kevin. they go out and point a finger, wave a finger or do something to show displeasure. typically if officials are around they'll escort the driver

to make sure they are not too close. most racing series want drivers to show the emotion. it stirs up the fans. they are excited to watch it. in a lot of ways it's all fun and ha, ha, and cool to see, until you have a tragedy like this on saturday night. >> you covered nascar for a long time. it's powerful. do you get a sense that people are reluctant to talk, because stewart is a big star? >> i think they want to know the facts. they want to see other angles of the video. they want to talk to tony and the other drivers in that race. they want to see the entire police investigation when it's completed, before they make a judgment. they feel a 3-time nascar champion deserves that, the benefit of the doubt before they say anything. you know, tony stewart is a guy who owns four nascar teams, and owns dirt tracks like the one he

raced on the other night, and they are going to give him as much benefit, as i said, benefit of the doubt so that - because they feel that he's earned it. >> appreciate you joining us, thank you. >> thank you. that's all for now. coming up tuesday on "consider this", a new look at the rise of ronald reagan, and the transformation of the modern conservative movement. the conversation continues on aljazeera.com/considerthis, google plus or twitter. >> start with one issue education... gun control... the gap between rich and poor... job creation... climate change... tax policy... the economy... iran... healthcare... ad guests on all sides of the debate. >> this is a right we should all have... >> it's just the way it is... >> there's something seriously wrong... >> there's been acrimony... >> the conservative ideal... >> it's an urgent need... and a host willing to ask the tough questions >> how do you explain it
