>> from oscar winning director, alex gibney, a hard hitting look at the real issues facing american teens. the incredible journey continues... on the edge of eighteen only on all jazeera america ♪ this is al jazeera america. live from new york city, i'm tony harris, with a look at today's top stories. lawmakers on both sides showing support for president's plan to defeat the state group. oscar pistorius found not guilty of murder in the killing of his girlfriend, but that may not be enough to keep him out of prison. the 9/11 attacks remembers 13 years later, the new laws and agencies created over the years to better protect america. ♪ president obama is

seeking support at home and abroad for a sustained military campaign to dismantle and destroy the islamic state group. the president asked for congress for $500 million to arm and train moderate syrian opposition fighters. the president also announced that he is sending another 475 military advisers. libby casey joins us now from the white house, and libby, congress has had a moment now to consider the president's plan. lawmakers are saying. >> . >> coalition and letting the iraqis really split on their impression and some say that coalition building goes too far and they think that a primary reason why the islamic state hasn't been able to

get as strong it was, as because the u.s. pulls out too many ground troops so they would like to see more presence. then there are other republicans that say they have concerned about arming rebels because they say how do we ensure those arms don't get into the wrong hands and they are not used against u.s. forces and u.s. assets on the ground in iraq. a key person to listen to is house speaker john boehner. here are some excepts from the speaker today. >> frankly, a lot of our members think a lot more needs to be done. but again, the members have been in a briefing. with the president's top people, to outline more of the specifics and what this plan consistents of. >> even though you hear there being a bit lukewarm, he does support the president's plan. and says he would vote

for the it. that he does believe that the u.s. should go forward as the president has outlined bringing in more forces as well as arms the syrian rebels. and that voice does carry a lot of wait. >> what is the timetable for the president's plan being put into action? how fast does the white house actually want congress to act here? >> so just how soon they can get anything done. well, the house is most pressing order of business really before they head out on the campaign trail. is passing a funding bill. and that's expected to happen next week. one question is can arming the rebels can they money get folded into the spending bill.

to wrap up to the syrian opposition. and that is particularly important now, because of the response that we have gotten from countries in the region. >> despite that urgency, the white house is trying to build don't expect to see anything pass this week, the debate still needs to play out first, next week is a crucial week to watch, and just when they might put forward a vote in the house. and the house is what you have to pay attention to, because that's where republicans have control. now, the big question, of course, that everybody is asking is just how the debate will unfold next week, house members will get a chance to talk to the obama administration, we will see top cabinet officials like the defense secretary, and the secretary of state also the secretary of homeland security, so watch. >> yeah, that's a c span week, it sounds like. libby casey, appreciate it. military forces have conducted two new air

strikes, near the mozul dam. the u.s. has carried out 156 air strikes in total across iraq. meanwhile, the plan to fight i.s. in baghdad with that part of the story. >> about 1600 gathering intelligence training, and with a strategy, also the air strikes are seen as key, weakening islamic state targets and then allowing iraqi ground troops to go in, the deputy p. m. also said that this wasn't just about jihadis verses the

american state, that this was a regional problem, and he thought that idea that the persons can help bring a regional coalition was absolutely key now. so clearly the iraqis are very interested in this. they say that it is a regional problem, however, the islamic state has reacted on social media, what they have said is they haven't declared war on america. the beheadings which president obama referred to in his strategy they say were just a revenge attack, they were blood for blood, and soul for soul. they also accused obama of waging a proxy war here in iraq. and in syria, and they say that's not going to effect their plans. they are going to expand and strengthen the vote.

secretary kerry are met with ten arab nations. they would add to the countries to weeks ago. but there are pitfalls. joins us uh live now to look at the viability of the president reese plan for coalition, nick, food to see you. the president said arab nations need to lead the way. what type of help has been offered so far? everything from military to financial to pretty much political backing. i think that's the key thing here, tony, we both know the u.s. can go after the islamic state by itself, militarily, it doesn't need anyone. and no country certainly in the region can offer very much that the u.s. doesn't already have. how, politically, the u.s. cannot be seen on an adventure by itself, in the middle east. and so it needs sunni states, and it also needs

shiite states. places like saudi arabia will host the training, who will fight the islamic state, inside of syria. places like kuwait, will promise not to send money or not to allow it's private citizens to send money into the islamic state fighters that has allowed them to take away -- take a part so much of iraq. and syria. and then iran, even though we are not going to officially cooperate with iran, we certainly do need a little help on the ground, there are iranian officials iranian fighters, iranian soldiers from the u.s. officials telling me they are basically looking the other way, as they fight the same people that we are fighting. so the u.s. really needs politically -- and also perhaps oen the ground in iraq, all of these allies to come together and help. nick, iran has been the big player missing.

>> iran, obviously, is opposed to isil, the iran is taking it's own actions and has taken it's own actions with respect to isil. the united states is not cooperate militarily or otherwise, as they have in the intention in the this process. of doing so, with iran. iran hit back saying they are not addressing the root cause. how can this work without something from iran. >> it probably can't. frankly. whether the fighters are coordinating. the u.s. troops but this is about politics. this is not only about a military solution, against a group of few thousand fighters, frankly that have taken an area the size of maryland, this is about figuring out why it was able to take over that part of the world and

that is because political vacuums in iraq and syria. and guess what? iran and odd yeah arabia, shiite countries have used iraq and syria as a kind of proxy war, that fighting has helped lead to where we are today, and so if iran continues to back one dog in the fight, well, it's not actually going to -- we won't be able to defeat islamic state for the long term. so this is about getting iran and saudi arabia, traditional enemies at the same table, getting them to agree that long term defeating the islamic state requires not only a military push right now, that we heard from the president obama, but also solution to the syrian civil is war, as well as a real understanding between sunnies and shiites in iraq that the government is theres.

what hope does any trained force have against this group. >> it is a great question. because remember, we spent hundreds of millions of dollars. perhaps nerve the billions. #e to train the iraqi army that fled. a few thousand fighters approached them from the north, again, it wasn't only just that they approached them and the iraqis weren't well trained the islamic state were using politics of the region in order to basically see that they were a much bigger force. so what the u.s. needs to do is combine the air power that they are going to extend into syria, according to president, with some of this training on the ground, the army, the moderate syrian rebels is what the u.s. is going to start training in saudi arabia, the hope is they will be able to chip away little bit after the islamic state, inside of syria, which isn't easy.

it has to be vetted. they have to be trained and most of them are frankly farmers. they don't have a lot of training, once you do that, then you hopefully change the dynamics on the ground, so that you can get to that solution. but by itself, the air strikes, by itself, anything by local fighters on the ground isn't really going to solve this. >> nick for us in jerusalem, appreciate it. thank you, the united nations has dozens of it's peace keepers held by a syrian rebel group for two weeks. were freed today, fighters from the front captured the 45 troops on the syrian side of the heights. they were part of the force controlled of disputed between syria and israel. of the decades old mission, and people from all over the country, and the world, are remembering the september 11th attacks today. 13 years ago, more than 2,000 people were killed. in a series of attacks on america.

there was a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. here in new york to mark american airlines hitting the north tire. two ceremony at the pent gone, honored the families of 9/11 victims. 13 years after small and hateful minds compared to break us, america stands tall. and proud. and guided by the values that sustain us we will only grow stronger. >> the attacks breeched almost all security and intelligence systems in place at the time. the new laws and agencies have been created to keep the country safer. randall pinkston joins us for more on the changes over the last 13 years. >> tony, by one count, nearly 300 departments were created in response to the september 11th attack c. membership l, one department, homeland security now has more than 1,000 employees.

we talked to security expert with the unique vantage point on law enforcement, since september 11th 2001. manage yule gomes has an international security form, a new york city police officer, gomez was an fbi agent, and rushed to the world trade center. >> the flames were so -- and the smoke was so powerful, that people were making a cognizant decision, to leap from 80 stories 80 plus stories. that was something that is not very easy to process. he has witnessed first hand, the response of law enforcement to prevent future attacks. new york city took an unprecedented step. posting detectives and analysts in the middle east and europe. >> instead of waiting on national agencies such as the fbi, or international agencies such as the c.

i.a., the nypd became very proactive, and set out people to gather their own intelligence in order to combat possible attacks. to keep 24/7 watch. >> key to the surveillance, thousands of cameras known as the ring of steel. >> they spent tens of millions of dollars. >> so you are talking something that is way beyond traffic camps. >> absolutely. these are highly sophisticated state of the art systems that could zoom in on an individual, see what is in his or her hand. maybe even read lips and have people translate what they are saying. >> in washington, lawmakers responded to the attacks on 9/11, with a long stream of legislation. the transportation security administration the t. s.a., to improve airport security by federalized the screening process. congress also created the department of hope land security. an umbrella agency that was supposed to

coordinate information. now the debate is, do we need this huge machine. >> and congress passed the patriot act, giving broad powers to the national security agency. which edward snowden revealed collects data on millions of americans. but despite all of the new laws and actsies, the system is not perfect. >> the missing link to our program is the lone wolf. like what happened in time square, like what happened in the boston bombings. the person who goes overseas, or is somehow radicalized, by islamic fundamentalists are trained or given the resources to come back here, and commit a terrorist act. >> the solution to that, says gomez, is more intelligence gathering from confidential informants. >> they are the best tool that any intelligence or law enforcement agency has.

manuel gomez now dedicates his work to the memories of the people that died that day. gomez said enhanced security has worked to attempt an attack. randall pinkston for us, thank you. >> scott strauss is one of many elite mys on september 11th, his story has been told before, including oliver stone's movie world trade center. we are getting a new look at the steps he and other rescuers took, and this is pretty dramatic stuff. roxanne that has more of his story. >> tony, scott lost a lot of his friends in the emergency service unit, 13 years ago today, the teams were highly trained but scott says they never faced any challenges like 9/11.

reporting from my unit. obviously, it look as lot nicer than it did that day. >> they find the body parts. something nobody should ever say. >> hours passed with no sign of life. then around 8:00 p.m., the rescuers learned that two port authority officers were buried alive. will was stuck deep inside the rebel, along with john. scott is one of the first rescuers to arrive. >> we had to crawl down 30 feet on an angle to get to ran area, had to

crawl about ten tweet across, and had to look back, and we could see will. >> he and another officer took turns digging with their bear hands. >> he was virtually encased in rebel. >> scratch away at him, to ourself, i was talking to my kids. they were -- they were six and nine at the time. i asked them to be good, take care of mom, be good in school, do their best. in life, and made me proud. >> they all became heros. a bright spot on a dark

day. >> how would you like people to remember your friends. >> the heros they are, are. >> are you a hero. >> no. nothing close. >> heros will still be amazed and as for families these men and women, that -- died. how are they? >> holding up, but they are struggled. >> how are you doing? >> struggling. >> he wanted to emphasize he is only one of many people that are helping others. and some sad news, he says one of his colleagues just died because of cancer, do they think it is possibly because of exposure to chemicals at ground zero. >> how is his health? is he okay? >> he says he gets regular check ups and says he was all right, but didn't want to go into details in. >> roxanne that, appreciate it. major victory for the environment after years

at a shoulder risking ozone larry layer. there are new signs the protective layer is getting thicker and 5 million passwords leaked online, but it may not mean that your email is hacked. back in a moment.

sha's involvement inre ukraine. now the foreign minister says moscow will take similar measures in response to those sanctions. nick spicer with the latest. >> what these mean, is that russia will find it very difficult to finance oil and gas explore ration. at least on european capital markets. oil and gas explore ration is a capital intensive industry, it costs $10 billion to give you a ballpark figure, to look into a new field, which may come up with nothing at all. without that you will have your fields run dry, and have nothing left to export in a decades time.

however, it was difficult for the european union to come to this, because the sanctions were drafted last friday. that's right when the ukrainians and the russians and other involved parties came one a cease fire agreement. and some countries among the union wanted to adopt a wait and see approach to see if that would hold. however, germany led the charge to a certain extent, and say they need to keep them through. so it doesn't get involved again. >> for years scientists have warned about the hole in the earth's ozone layer. ultraviolet rays that burn the skin and melt the polar icecaps. scientistscientists from te united nations today, say the ozone layer is improving, and they expect it to be restored. technology correspondent joins us live now, good to see you. >> enplain for us here

the ozone layer, and why it is making a rousing come back. >> tony, it is sort of like going back to the 80's. the kind of radiation that burns your skins. over the years nasa has been tracking the layer, and in -- over that period of time, it's been slowly thinning. there's been a hole big enough to put the moon through, which has created sun screen is different than it used to be. it has to be stronger because there's so much

more u. v.b. radiation. now scientists have found that it is actually coming back. what does this mean ultimately, and how excited should we be? >> well, interesting. when you see the reports it shows that climate change is not as bad as we thought. what is otherwise a pretty bad situation. you won't see a many getting burnt on the beach. even though the sun is getting blocked out. it was because greenhouse gases is going up into the stratosphere, and cooling the planet, which actually creates the ozone. so in effect, this is a result of climate changes. as a result of carbon going back up into the stratosphere and so good

news in the short term, we won't roast, but the slow cooker is still very much on. >> we are in the crock pot. all right, jake ward for us. thank you. prices and the dow was down about 20 points the s&p 500. nasdaq up 5 points google is urging some 100,000 g mail users to change their passwords it comes after nearly 5 million email addresses were leaked. google says most of the address and password pairs and the t cans were not -- not hacked. president obama has a plan to defeat the state group. what will be imtact impact be. that's next. now looking into how the nfl handled the ray rice case.

president obama wants congress to authorize more money to fight the islamic state group. the syrian opposition, they are widely accepted. who say the white house plan does not go far enough. >> i'm confident that the steps present layed out last night can degrade ice islamic, but that's not sufficient to protect our people. we need special forces and advisers on the ground, when the president continues to say there will be no boots on the ground, there's 1700 boots on the ground right now, there will be more boots on the ground, but they won't be in the form of combat units.

>> professor, good to have you back on the program. >> good to see you as well. >> professor, so a president obama attempted to lay out a pretty clear plan to defeat i.s., the islamic state group, did he said enough to satisfy the american people, and congress? >> you flow, i do think he said enough to satisfy the american people. will satisfy all members. i think the big question is his strategy going to be successful. i think that's where we have a big question mark.

>> that will outlive his presidency. >> i think the big question is that it is in six months, eight months, 12 months, he has unable to make a dent in isis, they are a strong as they ever were, or just weakened. he has now made a promise to destroy them. to get rid of them, and if the military comes, if the strategists come, as smart people come and say listen, you have given us some things that we need, but we need more, then what does he do? then he is in the same position lindon johnson was, that is slippery slope, potentially, unless it is successful, and so that's the big question, is his strategy enough, and if it is not, he will face the question, do you commit more troops to you put boots on the ground. do you commit more money and time and energy. >> but prof, so we are being honest here, the air strikes is not a strategy to defeat isis to destroy isis in the short term.

if the idea is to destroy them. i happen to free with you, and i think most people have said that, but the president has said there won't be many boots on the ground, and that's where i think the real question is is. he has promised to destroy them, not only the issue. for replacing the narrative with a different religious narrative. that can't be the role of the united states. >> it should point the role of the united states. but the president has now committed to sending us back in, something he said he was going to try very hard not to do, we know he is doing it reluctantly, and once he does that, where do you stop? and hence the slippery

slope. but the president didn't say that, he didn't say we will stop at this point, and then it is up to others he said we will try to have a broad based coalition. >> you don't disagree with that, going in with a broad based coalition? having the g.c.c. nations onboard as well? >> no, i don't disagree with that, the question is, is that enough to be successful with the goal that he set. the foreign policy numbers are low these days to you see this, as potentially giving the president a bit of a uptick this speech, giving him a bit of a uptick. >> he said short term he

benefits but it is long term. >> what are your thoughts about him, he is asking for money, but not support of the plan of extending air strikes. do you feel he has the authority, and does that weaken him. >> i think it will leave him open to a lot of criticism. he seems to think he needed the support, or need add vote a year ago. that opens the argument that he is being hypocritical. i think he does have legally he does have the right to do this. there are many smart people that disagree. he is trying hard not to make the same mistake he did a year ago, and trying hard to give democrats the cover they need to get through this midterm. he doesn't want to force

them to make a vote. >> true, if we are being fair, last year he felt even then he had the authority to move forward, but he wanted buy in from congress, and that's what he is asking for again. >> he is. and he is trying hard not to make the same mistake he made the last time around. and i think that he is really -- >> got you. >> there's security reasons i do think he has the legal authority, but i do think he opened himself for this argument. there are now just 54 days to go, they are now helping move legislation to the floor on equal pay and campaign finance reform. really now, but they are not doing it because they want the legislation to pass, just to eat up the clock.

they acknowledge they are chewing up time to avoided tough votes. more than a dozen join with democrats to bring a filibuster of legislation ensuring pay equity, the vote to proceed passed 73 to 25, a overwhelming margin. earlier this week, republicans helped advance other legislation they oppose. but by extending debate on these two, they are occupying the remaining few days in the legislative calendar. and that's preventing democrats led by senate majority lead tore schedule votes before the fall recess on raising the minimum wage, reforming the student loan system, and providing contraception coverage for women. those could be device i issues down the stretch, in several campaigns, but less so if senate republicans to not have to formally address those issues.

questioning his handling of ray rice. the letter says the nfl high profile demands the highest level of transparency. political strategists say that getting women voters to the polls this november will be crucial to democratic chances in both the house and the senate. in new hampshire cognizant disnance. just released highlighting her ability to work with republicans. to make a difference. >> one of the things was to rebuild a memorial. >> janine is not a bridge builder when it comes to sky drowned. here is that, released ad. >> this guy is getting more than a quarter million from a company moving u.s. jobs to china. cashing in by selling us out.

that brutal in the next. in politics most strategists urge their candidates to spotted quickly to negative ads. they hit mitch mcconnell with this. >> veterans energy and defense. >> etch more important -- >> he only showed up 7% of the time. if you did that, you would get fired. so should he. >> yesterday just a few hours later, mcconnell began airing his response add. >> they don't just serve on committees he can appoint committee members making sure the voice is heard. it is a power, grimes won't have. and as for the attendance, 99%. >> no experience. >> counter attack, and attack and counter attack. in kentucky, some

strategist advise to deliver an attack themselves so it will carry more weight. when it comes to the big differences between congressman gardner and him, it makes sense to tell you myself. just one year ago, congressman gardner stood with his party voting to shut down the government, right when colorado was recovering. it hurt colorado. >> finally, in pennsylvania, democrat tom wolf was running for governor in that state. yanked down one of the ads. actor allen ben yak, he was touting wolf's time in the peace core, but he has had other gigs far more interesting than campaign commercials. also had roles in adult films. the spokesman apologized for using him in the ad, saying nobody in the

campaign was aware of the acting president. tonefully, in energy, 30 children in a day care center were rushed to the hospital after accidentally drinking bleach. police say the children are all conscious and alert. there are no life threatens injuries. how they dropped that. they are extended the gun lights. they carry openly, the age to conceal the gun will crop from 21 to 19. they want some of the money back, the agency suspected improper payments were made to about 4500 holes following super storm sandy.

recreational sales of marijuana have reach add new high, they have for the first time, surpassed sales of medical marijuana by close to $1 million. records show that in july, the state sold a total of $28.7 million. colorado has raked in 37 million-dollars in tax revenue alone. and other fees since the start of this year. we have some social media reaction, this is a pretty interesting development. >> coming up a judge says oscar is not guilty of murder, but the olympian could still go to prison details next. and a new probe into how the nfl handling the arrays investigation, plus other players who may soon be in hot water over domestic violence.

innecessary is back. american teens. the incredible journey continues... on the edge of eighteen only on all jazeera america

an ebola outbreak has killed 35 people now, they say this outbreak is unrelated to the outbreak in west africa that has killed more than 2,000 people. officials say the congo outbreak is linked to one specific incident, and that the area has been contained around 60 other people are still safe. meanwhile, the wife of a doctor who was infected with ebola while working in liberia spoke out today about her husband's condition. doctors sack rah is currently receiving treatment. but when he was working in liberia, he wasn't provided with appropriate equipment. >> rick himself has to go all around the city to hardware stores. to find boots with which he could supply his o.r.

staff. so he can be protected in that way, when they were doing the work. oscar pistorius was cleared today of murder charges in the shooting death last year, but the judge did say the double amputee was negligent, when he shot through a bathroom door killing riva steam camp. now the judge must rule on a culpable homicide charge. tonya page has more now. the accused, he is hunching over in the seats and his shoulders could be seen heaving up and down. that huge weight is lifted off your shoulders he will find out whether he has been found guilty or not guilty on the third lesser charm of homicide.

the equivalent of manslaughter on friday, the judge hints at which direction she might go, saying that he should have forseen that someone might be killed if they were hiding behind that bathroom door, that he took no steps to avoided causing that death, that he acted hastily, and that he overreacted. he will find out on friday, however, on that culpable count. this trial broadcast live to millions of south africans and millions more around the world. that high level of exposure, said earlier in the day, didn't help in some instances. she had to discount some witness testimony crucial part of the prosecution case on that charge of premeditated murder.

many people that the exposure enabled high level of transparency, and they are able to see the justice system at its bests in action. >> let's bring in al jazeera legal contributor, jamie. >> this was a real cliff hanger. social media, very surprised. maybe not the analyst, but just regular folk. >> they don't tell you the verdict, they are going to make you work for it. >> right. >> you have to listen. >> so it is a lot like -- we have controversy supreme court cases here in the justices will come out and read their preponderances. well, they sit there and she reads the law. she reads the facts, she explains how their intersect, and then she is going to tell you the verdict, so we don't have the verdict, but we know based on what she said that the finding is going to be that he is not

guilty of murder one, what we call murder one here, essentially what we call murder in the second degree. >> were you surprised by the first decision? to dismiss the charge? >> no, because it is very very hard here or there or anywhere else. >> to establish the state of mind of a defend. prosecutors cannot get you inside the state of mind and here is what she said. they did not make their case. there is no one who can tell us what happened that night, except oscar -. >> dismiss all of that on a bad relationship. not relevant. he says none of that helps me. >> what happened, in those moments before he pulled the trigger. >> and then she took on oscar pistorius, a poor witness. >> right, and that goes

to the defense case. he was one of the worst witnesses i have ever seen. he was evasive, he didn't answer the questions he was combative, but that too was irrelevant. you know what else she didn't like, she didn't like the ear witnesses. she discounted all of that, and you know she is right. witnesses eyewitnesses. the worst kind, we think we know what we saw we heard, and most of the time, we are wrong. >> but she did say he acted too hastily? >> yes. >> call security, call

police, scream outline like he did after riva died he didn't do any of that, so now she has to determine was he acting reasonably within the bounds of the law. they can appeal on the legal questions although not on the factual findings. >> so this case has been going on for a while. six months. >> and lit continue. why was uhn't she prepared to offer up the verdict. >> it's not that she isn't prepared. just that it take as long time. to get through all that. >> put nit the record. >> i'm -- i am going to predict, on al jazeera, we are not sensationalist, we are substantive. >> but, based on what she said today, it looks like she is going to find that he is guilty of the culpable homicide. and remember he still has the two weapons position. and the ammunition, no

question he fired the ammunition. >> etch if he is found guilty of culpable homicide, and these lesser charges. he is going to face significant jail time. >> no, not necessarily, she has so much more discretion than she could have with murder. there i think you may face jail time, yeah. >> good to see you. >> soon, i think. to investigate running back ray rice. i guess you can say former running back, will run the independent inquiry, the independent says he will have access to all of the records and his report will be public. ray rice was fired from the ravens at video surfaced after seeing him hit his wife. well, a local law enforcement official told the associated press we brought you this

yesterday, they sent the video to the nfl, five months ago. now the nfl may soon have another domestic violence crisis on it's hands. plus, a basketball player is in some pretty hot water right now for tweeter out support for ray rice. tony, this morning paul george from the pacers sent out this message. saying i don't condone hitting women or think it is cool, but if she ain't tripping then i ain't tripping let's keep it moving. l.o.l., let the man play. >> well, he quickly deleted that tweet, and the team president of the pacers larry bird, he wrote paul george's tweets from earlier were thoughtless, and without regard to the subject of domestic violence and it's seriousness in society. tony, another person who got in trouble for his excepts about the ray rice incident is 49 years radio broadcaster during a broadcast he said the following, the victim

here, bears some of the responsibility for not speaking up, that to me is the saddest part of it. now, he is twoed for two games but tony people are pointing to ray mcdonald, defensive tackle, he was arrested at the end of august, for allegedly beating his pregnant girlfriend, 49ers c.e. o. says he will let due process take it's course, also, we have to talk about brad cardy, because people are paying close attention to him. he was found guilty in june of assaulting his former girlfriend, and threatening to kill her. now, his lawyers are appealing, he is waiting for a jury trial now, which will likely happen after the football season is over. defending hip and his team. >> when it comes to domestic violence my sans

is not one of indips. i stand firmly against it, domestic violence plane and simple. >> and tony, hardy is expected to play on sunday. i am sure that is lighting up social media as well. >> 13 years after the 9/11 attacks and the world one world trade center tower, is nearly complete, but the building is having a hard time finding tenants to move in.
