america live from new york city. here is a look at today's top stories. president obama's congressional leaders on his plan to defeat islamic state group, but lawmakers seem to be far more hawkish right now in africa, there's been a surge of ebola, the number of people effected now stands at more than

4,000. where this afternoon, president obama has been meeting with congressional leaders the president has been briefing him on his plan to dismantling the state group, the plan he said would be methodical and would take time to execute going into the president's meetings and his prime time speech, the public sin creasingly hawkish about military attacks on the islamic state. the washington post finds that seth 1% of americans support air strikes against i.s. in iraq, and 65% support air strikes against i.s. in syria. libby casey is now at the white house, libby, first of all, give office read out on the meeting and what are the expectations about the white house and

members of congress? >> the white house is doing it's briefing tomorrow night, they see it as a high security priority. and we do have some sense of what mr. obama will be talking about. now, some of this we have already heard. for example, seeing iraq government form, is serving who that the u.s. can do. it does not plan to to it alone, it plans to build coalitions, but also focus on key cunning in the middle east, that can help with the situation on the ground. using assets and working with groups like the moderates in syria. also, with kurdish fighters in iraq. now, we heard josh earn jest briefed a few moments ago, and as he talked about the speech, he said the president just like many others here in washington, is remembering less sons learns in iraq, basically, the iraq war. and the lessons from that

time, say military action alone isn't enough, and that the u.s. can't go it alone. take a listen. >> united states cannot again, this is not serve our interest to put the united states in a position which we are burying the load, of the responsibility for providing security in the nation of iraq. >> now, josh earnest says don't expect nitty-gritty details from tomorrow night's speech, like exactly how much operations in the middle east will cost. exactly how long it will last, and exactly how long it will be paid for, but the president needs to convince americas tomorrow, that this is in the u.s. interest as you showed that poll. americans are generally feeling hawkish about this, but the president and congress have to get key details out there on the table. >> libby, members of congress and both parties have been suggesting that the president needs to move quicker than he has. how are then co depressional leaders weighing in. >> that meaning the

taking place right now, inside the white house, so we will get a better sense from leaders if they are hearing what they want, from the president. now, house speaker john boehner talked to reporters this morning and he deflected on a lot of questions about what he wants to see done in iraq, and syria, but a key word he repeated more than five times in five sentences strategy strategy strategy. he is trying to criticize the president for having a lack of strategy. here is what he had to say. >> i have been calling for a strategy to deal with a growing terrorist threat since january. when isis came across the boardner western iraq. we have a very serious problem and what we need is a strategy. and until there's a strategy, there's no reason to talk about any of the specifics. >> you hear that word allot, just what they want to happen next, really depends on where they sit. now, many of them -- many members of congress are saying they want to see

an open debate, in both the house and senate over what should be done, but it gets tricky as we try to pin them down on taking a vote. midterm elections are just eight weeks away, the whole house is up for re-election, a third of the senate is up, and a third are facing tough battles. even as polls show americans are interested in air strikes in stir yeah and iraq, that can change. very quickly, for for example, there was a plane crash, in the region or something else happened that turned americans against the operation, a lot of members fear being vulnerable, come election time on foreign affairs. >> libby casey at the white house, in fact, we will pick up on that very political point at the half hour, the president's expected plan for attacking islamic state fighters in syria could impact that country's three year civil war. but the united states possibly on the side of president bashar al-asaad. syria's a complex web of competing domestic and international interests, jonathan best is here to explain. >> well, air strikes

against the islamic state, could help the rebels and the asaad government, one of the larger groups is the syrian national coalition, and it's fighters. the free syrian army, it has been losing ground, now, this group is backed by countries like saudi arabia, and a lot of people around the world, want to see it lead the rebellion again. but on the ground, it is the hard line groups like the news front that are growing. it is part of al quaida, so for their fighters take the ground, many feel it hurts the chances for a democratic syria. now, in the north, in a little slitherier in yellow, those are the curds. helping them could anger america's alley turkey, because curds and turkey have been fighting for their own independents. so turkey's leaders may cause problems at home. so this is why the situation there is so tricky, there are clearly a lot of groups and a lot of interests and why helping the syrian government which only has control of the country's east, may be on a boiling point. >> jonathan, thank you.

a suicide bombing in syria killed the leader of an influential rebel group, syrian state t.v. is reporting the bombing in the city killed at least 45 people, the attack happened during a meeting of leaders. activists say seen here in an interview with al jazeera last year, was killed. when syrian state television reports he was seriously injured. more on the attack from iraq. it seems to be a very large attack. and there was a serious side bomber. the moment killing 45, 28 from a leadership of this group that's an enormous number because their top leader was with them, as you were saying 20,000 fighter as large group,

really, have been taken the battle to bashar al-asaad. in syria, since 2012. we don't know if that will have an enormous effect on iraq. >> in iraq, there was a lot of skepticism about that country's new government, one day after parliament approved the new formation key rolls still have not been filled. more now from baghdad. >> for iraqi political leaders it wasn't easy getting to this point. but now the really hard work begins. iraq's new government is a work in progress, carefully constructed to try to balance shiite, sunni, and kurdish interests. pulling out any one of those can topple the government. the cuds are already waiverring. >> we want to start a die long among the parties pan as process to rewrite

the government program. >> they say they will participate for three months as a test. sunnies say they are happy with their six ministries but they also have high expectations. >> we must focus on improving the security situation and bringing back all those displaced people. we need to assure them that this government will be for all iraqis and serve the people as well as the people and the people. it is a lot for the prime minister who is under intense pressure, particularly from the u.s. in presenting the cabinet on monday. he made clear he hadn't chosen most of them, they were the result of negotiations between the various political blocks. it is important to say it is something to build on, and it is different groups that need to work together for this country to survive. >> and even that might

not be enough. he struggled to support five children with his fruit stand. >> for the past eight years we had a coalition government, it made many mistakes and reflected badly, as a consequence, you can see how the country is going, we have lost six. he says he quick the army, because it discriminates against sunnies. he says people aren't asking for much. >> yes, they are corruption, but on the other hand, they will give you your share, but here some of the officials don't need leave you with anything. >> it is a tough road ahead. running the country while doing bat with the islamic state group, it will also have to persuade iraqis of all kinds it cares about them. >> al jazeera, baghdad. >> back in the united states, today marks one month since a ferguson missouri police officer shot and killed michael brown, an unarmed black

teenager. his death sparked weeks of violence protests and tensions in that city. and raised questions about the issue of race. today his parents called the the arrest of darren wilson, the my who killed their son. and prompted by the unrest, senators in washington today, are taking a look at the militarization of local police. confidential informantics say police looked like they were in a war zone. lawmakers now contend that police may be overequipped. the ferguson city council will meet tonight, plans on establishing a review board to help guide police and improve community relations. also anticipating changes to the court system which has been criticized as unfairly targeting low income blacks. figures from missouri municipal court, show in 2013 ferguson had the highest number of wants issued in the state. more than 1500 per 1,000 people. those numbers are far

above st. louis, and kansas city. joining us now is jonathan clark. first of all, give it a little bit of incite, how much may the proposals help. >> my understanding is that these proposed changes to local ordinances which are just proposals right now. really are the result of some input from local communities citizen advocacy groups. a collaboration of advocates who pen add letter to the local city council in ferguson. asking that they have solutions to the uplying causing of the racial and class based divisions that exist there, so to the extend that there are is some community input, you would imagine that there would be a certain level of satisfaction so far about the direction that the city is moving.

the activists have come up with some plans but what about the long term, do you see this doing inning long term to affect change. >> it is important to understand that ferguson is one community, and the big mistake that i fear that many people have been making so far is to see ferguson as this isolated commute. as this isolated incident, where only these things exist in ferguson, and that's not the case. there are communities that surround ferguson that are in much the same prezebment, and that is so they that they are small without the means and resources and industry to generate very much rev are knew, and they wiped up coming up with -- they have no tax bases and they wind up coming with these solutions. to generate revenue. they tend to effect people who are disadvantaged.

were you surprised and -- will this get at some of that issue in terms of african-americans being targeted? what is really going to get this issue, and really, in the macro, what you need to look at, are these communities that have no way of generating income. or have small means of sustaining themselves. so what needs to happen, is you need to have these communities in many instances consolidate. hopefully this will be the spark that gets that conversation going. and so you don't have communities in that have 300, and 400, and maybe 500 residents, acting on their own, really there needs to be one larger community, that can sustain itself. that way you don't wind up having these traffic ticket based means of

generating revenue and ultimately disproportionately effecting people of little means. >> a lot of people said look, there's even less connection between the local community and the police that are responsibility for keeping the area safe. >> yeah, this isn't -- some of this is about the policing, but the policing really is an offshoot of the municipal problem. which really are are commutes that can't generate revenue. that shouldn't be apart from each other, but are consolidated. once you address that, then you can get to the other causes. >> jonathan clark, thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. sure. >> a fourth american infected with ebola is now back in the wrights receiving treatment. the patient is at emery university hospital in

atlanta, this is the same facility where dr. kent brandly were successfully treated for the virus last month. robert what can you tell us about this new patient and this new case? >> al jazeera independently confirmed that it is a male patient. he did land this morning. just north of atlanta, and all of this amist another huge international cry for help over in south africa. and the death toll just continuing to rise. along with other patients making their way across the atlantic, to hospitals here in the u.s., like the one we have here in atlanta. a fourth american aid worker landed in atlanta, and was brought to emery university hospital. >> we are evaluating all of our options as we did with our previous two patients. just based on the

conditions we will decide what the best options are. >> unlike the first two, who survived, this victim will not receive the experiment stall serum, known as z map. because there are no doses left. and doctors still cannot determine whether the serum has been helpful. >> so it is difficult to say. it is an experiment stall medication, and it is hard to make an assessment of a medications effect based on the ebbs new orleans of two patients. >> on monday, an emergency conference in washington, d.c. brought ebola experts together in the wake of the world health organizations prediction, of thousands of new west african cases in the coming weeks. this has changed the perception that it can replicate and spread to wide areas p different countries. this is the worst ebola outbreak in history. other 2200 have died and the numbers keep rising. public health officials are concerned about the lack of resources,

infrastructure, doctors and aid workers on the ground in west africa. >> you know, it would be just speculating on what can happen. but again, if you look at the past, this has never happened. >> congress is considering an obama request for more funding to combat ebola. and while there is now a vaccine in phase one of clinical trials, there's the feeling that time is running out. prompting a call to action. >> the disease was identified in the remote villages of our country, has now reached urban centers including the capitol. it is now spreading like wild fire. the already weak infrastructure of the country has been overwhelmed. >> on tuesday, the u.s. announced lit be building isolated treatment centers and sending engineers and medical staff to assist in liberia, see year rah

leyon, and ginny. >> now, david, it is a big deal that we have an ebola infected patient here in a u.s. hospital, another one is in omaha, but i cannot stress enough, how bad it is in west africa right now. with the lack of infrastructure, and the lack of doctors, and aid workers on the ground, it is seriously hard core, david. they need to get this under control, the u.s. and britain are going to send people in, and hopefully more international communities join forces to try and stop this spread of ebola, inar ca. more states are investigating a rest from story illness in children. more than 1,000 children across the country have contracted that virus. doctors say the virus starts off like a code, but can become much more serious, very quickly.

>> there's a new report, and it says malaysian flight 17, which down in july, did not crash because of a mechanical problem. the board statement relying on exceptional language said the crash was caused by high energy objects from outside the aircraft. ukraine and separatists accuse each other of firing a missile that killed 298 people onboard. >> a short but revealing report. it does not explicitly say that it was hit by shrapnel from a missile, but it rules out virtually any other possibility. close up photographs show the damage. the plane pierced by what the report described as high energy octobers. the black box and cockpit voice recordings all suddenly stopped at precisely the same moment. wreckage was spread over ten-kilometers. >> at this moment, we are investigating the objects that penetrated the

aircraft. we found fragments of probably the objects in the bodies of especially the flight crew, we are trying to investigate whether they are originated from the airplane, or whether they are originating from the objects. the allegation from the government, is that it was brought down by a bok missile filed by russian backed rebels. >> both sides in the conflict have this weapon. so crucially further investigations here, will try to establish the exact launch area. by uses satellite and radar print outs. >> the crash scene is in a conflict zone, investigators have been prevented from direct access. some humane remains are still in the wreckage, and for families the anguish goes on. >> for me, it doesn't matter if it's being shot

down, or it is the fault of malaysian airline, i blame malaysian airline and also the other one, who took -- yeah, who make the plane crash, of course. it cannot bring our children back here. a full report will be published within a year, and a great criminal investigation has begun. >> coming up on al jazeera america, apple just unveil add new phone, a new watch, and a new way to buy things that they say will help avoided fraud, all the details next. with jake war.

hey, jennar fuzz mike troober munny sling... awwwwww scram! i'm crust mike jubby roll bond chow gonna lean up an kiss bet. peas charty get town down.

[laughter] ♪ borf a liver tute face stummy wag ♪ pow pam sha-beeps stella nerf berms. saxa-nay nay? badumps a head. temexiss gurrin. juppa left. fluppa jown! brone a brood. what? catch up on what everyone's talking about with the x1 entertainment operating system. preloaded with the latest episodes of the top 100 shows. only from xfinity. wall street today didn't seem to be especially moved with apple new roll out. the d lost 98 points. and the nasdaq lost 40-points. we got our first look today at apples new technology, the i-phone 6, the apple watch, and apple pay. a method that apple says will be the most secure way to pay for your purchases. science and technology correspondent joins us, let's start with the apple watch, tell us

about it. >> well, it was obviously a headliner here, the audience broke into a applause after years of waiting for a new category from an and this was it. it turns out that to create something as small as the, i watch as it is now officially known, it turns out that apple had to create a whole new user interface. a click wheel for the i-pod, and the touch screen for the i-phone, they had to create something entirely new for the watch itself. here is what tim cook had to say. it zooms in and out. when you have a lift, you can control through the list, and you can do all of this without blocking the strain. and if you are within an app like the clock app, as an example, if you press the digital crown, it returns to the home screen, just as you would expect it to.

>> so this is really the hope of apple that we will begin using crown, which is used to wind a watch with a traditional watch, as the new interface that we have grown used to with i-phone. >> a lot of security concerns out there, including an apple private photographs being leaked what do you make of the new pay system. >> well, i think, david, although the watch is the headline, apple pay is the true story in this. new release, we are talking about here is replacing your credit cards with just the functions of the i-phone. also it should be known that the apple watch, apple watch is also n.f.c. enabled. tap your phone, or tap the watch to make a payment, supposedly it is a one time token a system, a system that doesn't reveal your credit card information, so in theory if you lose the phone, you won't be losing your credit cards. here is what the head of software has to say.

>> if your i-phone is lost or stolen, you can use find my i-phone, and suspend all of the payments from that device. and again, because the credit card isn't stored on the device, there's no need to cancel your credit card. it is worth considering that target will be the first commercial retail partner, and of course target has every reason in the world to get away from credit cards. >> shares were up almost 3%, what did wall street see that it likes. >> well, i think that we can get lost in the fight between the google phone, and the apple phone. suddenly an almost be taken a cut on transactions that you make all over the place, buying gas or sodas so i think they saw here that they are getting deeper into our lyes. >> jake, thank you as always. we appreciate it. >> president obama is trying to gain support

for a plan to defeat the islamic state group, and that comes at a very crucial moment for his presidency and for his democratic party, we will look at that, next. plus, former coach, whether you like or hate the bears you don't want to miss this one, next in power politics.

>> in today's power politics president obama has been meeting this afterwith congressional leaders at the white house, the president is trying to generate strong public support and congressional approval for his own plan to tackle the islamic state group. the president will be speaking about his plans tomorrow night. >> top senate -- comes in

a very critical moment in his presidency, as he is today, only 42% of americans approve the way he is handling his job, 51% disapprove, those are near the worst numbers of his presidency. when asked about mr. obama's leadership, only 43% say the president is a strong leader, 55% say he is not strong, and those are the worst leadership numbers of his presidency. when it comes to international problems and specifically dealing with the state. 52% say they have been too cautious, 8% say the president has been too adepressive, 35% say his approach has been about right. the president has authorized limited air strikes but they have faced increasing calls to expand the u.s. military roll. not just in iraq, but also in syria. and the public's hawkishness about attacking the islamic

state is growing. when asked specifically about air strikes in syria, 65% of the public would now support such action, just 28% are opposed. the public approval ratings are increasingly important, just eight weeks until the midterm elections. weak numbers tend to drag down domic candidates and keep them from holding ton the senate. one of the wedge issues democrats have been focusing on is raising the minimum wage, let's get to that right now. in kentucky republican senate minority leader is under fire for saying that if he becomes majority leader, he will block the senate from even considering a bill to raise the minimum wage. but in arkansas, tom cotton is trying to take this out of the elects, he says he now supported the state ballot issue. cotton is dead even against democratic senator mark pryor. and the michigan senate race, the debate over the

keystone oil pipeline is now taking center stage, terry lynn lamb supports the pipeline saying lit help the economy, democratic gary peters opposing it siting potential damage. he is now facing this. >> peter sided with a billionaire who could profit if it was blocked. now he spending big bucks to help his campaign. michigan jobs or a california billionaire? >> shows peters with a slight edge. in minnesota democratic incumbent al franken is and businessman for using offshore tax loopholes. here is the ad. that's right, using a special tax loop hope to list it's headquarters offshore, and avoiding pays millions of dollars in tax. he is definitely not for you. >> and two political races, football has now a big story this week. in virginia incumbent

democratic senator mark warner is taking credit for the virginia tech hokies joining the atlantic coast conference. and warner's ad featuring a former nfl star bruce smith. at tech i live by three simple words, now i have three words for you, vote mark warner, no one did more to get virginia into the tech than him. >> meanwhile, in the illinois governor's race, the football appeal involved former chicago bears coach, mike ditka. republicans bruce roner has been taking a lot of shots at pat quinn, so roner on the left, appeared in an ad with ditka to get some encouragement. >> you no what elike about you, you are tough. you attack the special interest, bam, right in the mouth. >> he is behind by double digits. bam. back to national

politicals, a controversy report may get pushed back beyond the election. members of the intelligence committee are now considering a delay in a report five years in the making. they have long opposed the report, key senate democrats believe that the obama white house has gone too far in redacting parts of the report itself. we are still discussing redactions and it won't be released until we are satisfied that we can have a comprehensive and understandable report. finally, former president bill clinton and george w bush, got together last night in washington for a public discussion on leadership. the two ex-presidents have become pretty close friends and they were very complimentary to each other. bush even joked to clinton and gave him advice about becoming a grandfather. >> it is an awesome period for you, and -- get ready, also to be like the lowest person in the pecking order in your family.

more from cleveland, jason johnson, the friendship between bill clinton and george w bush, nice to see. >> it is surprising but they got together during the sue name my and talks about the world looking part partisanship, so it is not surprising and they are both grandparents now. president obama, clearly they want congressional patients. a lot of members of congress don't seem willing to be giving him that patience, so how does this resolve himself? does he get unified support, or do members of congress hold back? i think there will be a punt on the side of congress. you have some members that say there should be a vote, be uh the vast majority, they don't want a big vote like this right before the mid text elections. the president and the white house are saying

well, previous authorizations pretty much should cover this, so i think obama thinks as long as there's no boots on the ground, he can get away with it, and i think congress will not want to get too involved. >> what did you make of the american public's hawkishness towards attacking islamic state? some 68% of people surveyed, would support air strikes on islamic state in syria. that number struck a lot of people today as exceptionally high. what is driving it? well, because the united states wants to see this over, we have been in iraq for over a decade. i think a lot of americans feel like whatever we have to do to finish up iraq, it is something we are comfortable with. so those hawkish numbers don't surprise me, but everyone is in favor of attacking another country as long as there's no boots on the ground. >> what do you make of approval rating?

42%, whether it's leadership or general approval, how much does that hurt democrat whose are facing a tough re-election this fall? >> barack obama is a mill stone around all of their necks. the only thing he can probably feel slightly better about, and this doesn't help anybody in the midterms is his approval numbers are still better than george bush's year at his 6th year. it is a given that the white house is probably going to lose seats in congress, they are probably going to end up losing the senate, and there's very little that barack obama can do, even if he gives an amazing speech tomorrow. i don't think that will tip the needle too much for most people voting. >> if the public responds that way, and supposed they are correct about the election, but say that the domes lose control of the senate, doesn't that seem to narrow the potential for president obama on taking action on immigration reform. even though he is now pushing us past the election, because if he looks up and suddenly congress has more votes towards i don't know,

impeachment, or the republicans have control of the senate, doesn't that flippish perhaps his appetite for doing something audacious? >> i don't think so. and i don't think when it comes to something like immigration, because at that point, obama will be thinking about 2016, he will be thinking about hillary, i think there's a lot of bluster because no one has gone to the voting booth. even if the republicans take over, you have several republican whose will be looking towards 2016, and they realize, if they don't do something on immigration retomorrow, or if they let obama do something, and they appear to be obstructionist that's going to harm them. i think republicans may be slightly more accommodating, because they will be thinking about when they are trying to run. >> do you see anything that could perhaps be some sort of september or october surprise in terms of if the general trend right now is that republicans are going to pick up seats in this election, what's the kind of issue you think may surprise a lot of people

or change the dynamics. >> a terrorist attack. that's horrible to say, a huge natural disaster or hurricane sandy type situation. usually that is the only time in which the public can be moved away from this push towards wanting to kick incumbents out and wanting to punish the sitting president in the 6th year, and unless some more 8:00 happens barack obama is going to be facing a very red senate, and a very red housen p i don't see any tragedy on the horizon, certainly no huge policy success that is going to change the direction of the voters. jason, thank you for coming on. >> now a look at other stairs let's get to moo rhea. >> just pad midnight, missouri is expected to execute it's 8th prisoner this year. earl ringle jr. was convicted in the 1998 robbery and double murder at a restaurant from he used to work. his lawyer filed several

appeals, one of them involved questions over the sedative he is scheduled to receive prior to the execution. new charges surrounding an alleged school shotting plot. two teenagers were charged with conspiracy to commit murder and assault. the boys were arrested just before the school year began, they are accused of plotting to kill three staffers. in georgia, a grand jury will investigate a police raid that left a toddler severely injured. the boy was asleep when a flash grenade went off in his playpen. police were looking for a suspected drug dealer when they threw the grenade in the house. the detroit water industry will undergo a major overall. the mayor announced the deal, the agency will be remained the great lakes watered authority. provides water for about how% of michigan's

population. the suburbs will pay detroit $50 million a year, for the next four decades to rebuild the water and sewer system. in wisconsin there's a new playground that is not for kids. this playground is for adults only, and it's more like a gym than anything else. complete with a pull up station, and other exercise equipment. the goal is to give people an incentive to stay active. this is a way to give people another opportunity to be active that's a little bit different, we are out here oin the environment, we are on a beautiful past, so this is a way that people can add a couple more of those physical activities without making it feel like a chore. >> a grant helped pay for the playground, which is free to use, so people really have no excuse. in my hometown, they have some equipment like that, but it isn't as sophisticated. and a lot of people take advantage. >> that's very cool. >> you have to know something to operate some

of it. >> thank you. >> ray rice's wife is standing by her husband. she blames the media for embarrassing the two of them. a closer look at domestic violence, and new numbers showing it costs the world $8 trillion a year. and researchers in california say human interaction helped reduce autism symptoms for children as young as four years old. only on all jazeera america

husband being cut fromher the baltimore ravens and suspended indefinitely. after video surfaced showing muching her in the face. she felt like she was mourning the death of her

closest friend, she went on to defend her husband, and blasted the media for causing her pain, and embarrassing the couple. the issue of domestic violence bringing susan johnson cook. a lot of people so shocked by seeing the video, but you have been doing this for a long time, what is your advice to women who find themselves in that situation. >> his life is dealing with embarrassment, and certainly a publicity in terms of personal affairs so it is a tough place to be. there are issues number one, not the first time it has happened not the first time that they are airing it, or finding a voice for it. but then also it is about finding a safe place. and her own stability, there is not enough safe spaces to go to, and not enough people to talk with. so it is a very difficult situation to try to council them, you try to hug them, and embrace

them, so they feel like what love feels like. so they need to share their story. i was where one of my driver whose witnessed his father he is now 43 years old, he witnessed it at five years old, the traumatic effect. the 600 class. so the trauma and the sense of what happens to your family is what a mother is always feeling. yes i have been abused and hurt, if i air this, what happens to my family. the stability that they want, how often then once we get that out, do they leave the husband, because again, the statistics are astounding about the number of people that choose to stay? >> many find that they

are the victim, but yes they also sometimes feel like they were responsible for the victimization. the best thing they can do is refer them for long term, will that's a psychologists or somethings they need a psychiatrists. people who are trained in domestic violence for their lifetime. so a lot of times we are more in the listening mode. referring them to places that there are safe place, and somewhere safe to talk to. >> besides staggering report today that domestic violence hurts economic productivity in a way that shocks so many people. it does shock us, it effects us in terms of economics, but nothing is good. the value that is attached to it, it is never acceptable.
