doctor, it's a pleasure to have you with us. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. that's all for now. the conversation continues on the website aljazeera.com/considerthis. we are on facebook and twitter at av consider this and tweet me at a moray tv. see you next time. hi everybody. i'm david shuster. john seigenthaler has the night off. >> we talk to an epidemiologists who separates the facts from fiction. >> her name was maria, the tragedy of a woman that worked three shifts to make ends meet. should the redskins change their name - wait until you hear what a former player for the team tells us.

haunted - preying on gay and lesbian people in russia. joining us tonight the director of a disturbing new documentary. >> we begin with a first confirmed case of ebola in america, and tonight the texas health department confirms at least 100 people may have had contact with the dallas ebola patient. relatives and others are quarantined inside a dallas apartment. more from heidi zhou-castro, outside the complex. >> when i visited the apartment complex, i found many people who are trusting and friendly, and that did not know much about ebola. it's notable that this neighbourhood has 24 nationalities represented in this area. and at this complex, there are eight languages. it is a challenge for the management of this complex, to

deliver the message about ebola. a few people said they didn't know anything about it. others who read the flyer in english said they were concerned and they want to be tested for ebola immediately. as for the family of duncan, four individuals have been ordered by the texas health department to remain in their apartment. they are under guard. police officers have embedded at the complex. why, according to the judge, there was some concern that the four people may violate the quarantine orders that were voluntary. they are under order to stay inside. >> we have delivered several days of food to that apartment. those people in the apartment are part of the health area, and they'll be treated with the utmost respect and dignity in this unusual situation.

>> now the c.d.c. is taking care of delivering food and coordinating with the waste disposal company. notably the garbage left bit the patient himself. we are learning that she - the mattress and clothing remain inside the apartment for two days. they searched for a waste disposal country. the waste was inside sealed plastic bags. it was inside the same unit where the four people were ordered to play. >> heidi zhou-castro reporting from dallas. thomas eric duncan could face charms if he returned to liberia. there are reports he lied on an airport question air asking if he'd been in contact with ebola patients in liberia. >> dr john epstein is an

epidemiologist studying the spread of ebola in asia and africa. what is the virus, how does it attack your body, should there be concern for the 100 or so that are in contact. >> ebola virus is a virus carried by animals, pointing to bats at the moment. they are a natural host of the every once in a while it makes a jump from animals to people. people have been contacting, hunting, butchering, finding a dead animal, and exposed that way. once the virus affects a person, they are capable of spreading from person to person. the way that it kills people, it invades the cells in the body, and causes a sphere in the spot. this is the body's own defenses, becoming exaggerated for chemical release, it causes

inflammation. what this moons is it leads -- means is it leads to blood loss, leading to shock and organ failure. people who are infected die of a loss of blood and organ failure. >> it's particularly gruesome because it's blood from the eyes, nose and mouth and every orifice. >> this is the image, but only half the cases show the external haemorrhaging. many don't have that but can be fatal. upward of 70 to 90% that are infected die were ebola. in the counter outbreak, it's 50%. >> there's so much fear, that is raised a lot of concerns amongst folks who think if i'm on a subway or an aeroplane and someone that has ebola nieces and it lands on an open wound na i have or a cut, can you get

ebola that way? >> fortunately we understand a bit about how ebola is transmitted, and it requires that a person who is infected and symptomatic, for someone to have contact with bodily fluids. it's difficult for it to spread. it doesn't spread through the air. you can't sneeze and have someone across the room get ebola. you have to have contact with someone's blood or vomit or diarrhoea. someone who is symptom attic, and there's a high concentration of virus in the fluids. >> what about if the person with ebola uses a public rest room, and they vomited on the toilet and someone sits down. is that the sort of thing? >> in is unlikely. it's theoretically possible if there was a surface contaminated with fluids from fluids, someone can make contact immediately afterwards. but this is pretty unlikely, particularly in the context of the united states, where we are

aware specifically in this situation in dallas, we are well aware of the infected patient and public health authorities are tracing contact. there wouldn't be a lot of opportunity for someone that is infected to contaminate the services. it can create fear. >> this is basic enny deemiology, what the public health officials do, they identify sick patients and trace contacts and monitor the contacts, making sure they are not infected or symptom attic. that is happening in dallas. >> any concern about an ebola epidemic in the united states? >> no, there's no concern of that. the patient in dallas presented to a hospital and were identified early in the process. a few days went by when he was symptom attic, it's still relatively quick.

by comparison, the ebola virus was circulating, and infection control procedures are able to be put in place. there are strong public health practices, and we have high confidence that there would not be a high outbreak. >> dr jonathan epstein, thank you for being with us. n.b.c. news reports an american freelance cameraman working for the network in liberia tested positive for ebola, he's been flown to the united states for treatment. he came down with the symptoms yesterday. at the bottom of the hour we look at the c.d.c.'s plan to contain ebola in united states. a string of cyber attacks targeted megastores and the government, and today the one against a giant bank. jonathan betz has the latest. >> simply put the breach may be unprecedented. it happened obvious the summer.

we are only learning about it now. what we are learning is staggering. the attack on jpmorgan, the largest bank in america, one of the biggest in the world involved 80 million account. most were personal. several are small business accounts. numbers are alarming, and so is the death of the hacking. hackers got deep in the system, infiltrating 90 servers. before anyone knew what happened. hackers got hold of applications used on every computer. we saw large attacks on retailers like target. banks have more sensitive information. all the information was revealed in a regulatory filing. banks say the stolen data, including email addresses, names and phone numbers - but it doesn't appear the hackers stole money. >> the united states has two partners in the fight against i.s.i.l.

australian leaders said moments ago that they had join with air strikes, and turkey's parliament authorised military action inside syria and iraq, and allowed forn troops to be stationed in turkey's borders, a move that has been awaited. it comes as turkey deals with the fallout from syria's war. >> translation: currently we are accommodating for than 1.3 million refugees sheltering at camps, staying in the city. after september 18th, the latest development. 160,000, 208 syrian kurds crossed into turkey as of yesterday. the refugees are running from the war. in the past weeks i.s.i.l. pushed towards turkey's border. the air strikes targeted northern syria. turkish experience reacted to the decision. randall pinkston spoke with people at one community.

>> reporter: at this ethnic store in queens new york, talk of a crisis facing turkey, their ancestral home. sunniside grocery is a gathering place for familiar food and drink and conversation about family, friends and today a momentous vote by turkish parliament on whether to join the fight against i.s.i.l. while i.s.i.l. held 49 turks captive turkey's government stayed out of the fight. after the hostages were released recep tayyip erdogan told reporters his country may join the u.s.-led coalition. it was said that the u.s. metropolitan area is home to the largest turkey community in america. politician and military force are touchy in the queens enclave - many would not discuss their opinion, not on camera.

those that did seem to placer intervention. >> do you think the turkish military would cross the border. >> yes. >> the relatives back in turkey agree with him about him about i.s.i.l.'s threat. >> the guys are dangerous, and they also are a threat to islam. we have to finish these people. >> this man approves of turkey's intervention against i.s.i.l., but with a condition. if i.s.i.l. doesn't attack turkey, you say turkey should not attack i.s.i.l. >> yes, correct. yes. if there's no reason - if there's no track. touch army doesn't attack. at a nearby movings. this man shied away from giving

his point of view. but expressed app opinion shared by everyone. what am i feeling. everywhere feel it better. it's the situation over to the - all over. and nobody like that. what are happiness, turks around the world will be watching. randall pinkston, al jazeera, sunniside queens, new york. coming up in 20 minutes, nick schifrin reports from the syrian-turkey border with a story of a smuggler that helped dozens of foreigners crossing, many of them fighting with i.s.i.l. back in the united states, severe norms from michigan -- storms from michigan to texas, look at this community, winds greater than 60kph , knocking down trees, ripping off roofs. kevin corriveau is here with more. rough night of. >> it is an amazing storm system. 40 million people in the frontal boundary affected by the storm

system. in dallas, 250,000 people are without power as the storm made its way through. it was a little dis organised. as you see, it has really become very organised. we are talking about winds 60 miles per hour and great area. it's a location that has 100 miles per hour of winds. we show you video. the area we are talking about. this is one of those areas. talking about dallas, when it came through. this is not a tornado. this is viedent wind from the thunder storms that pushed through, and we are seeing the storms more violent as we go through the rest of the evening. this is what we are looking at now, out the way past little rock. and at the end of it towards austin texas. when you look at the reports. we are talking about 188 wind

damage reports have now been recorded. we are still looking at areas of tornado watches in effect. should be a very, very dangerous storm. >> still ahead - working three shifts just to get by, why it's common in america, and how it turned tragic for one woman. tesla is the new kid on the block. why it's being bullied by dealerships nationwide. and the latest from hong kong. these are live pictures - tensions growing between protesters and police. a live report next.

it is friday morning, you are looking at live pictures. demonstrators and photographers on the other side of barricades and police. the stand off between government headers is continuing into an 8th day. hong kong's chief executive refused to resign thursday night despite a deadline set by demonstrators. the government wanted to start discussion with protest leaders, scott heidler is live in hong kong, and the concession for talks - what impact is that

having app protesters -- having on protesters today? >> obviously they are hope to convenience the government to speak with them, because the process, the movement that has been going on, over a week now, they haven't been addressed from the chief executive, and we are outside his office. this is the first time they'll sit down. he has ordered his deputy to sit down with the protesters. we don't know when it will happen. we know the chief executive, who did not come to the office, he is working outside another face illies, and meeting with -- facility, and meeting with that now. we are expecting an announcement will happen. protesters, overnight thursday and into friday, they said they'd stay and prevent the chief executive from coming in, after making the announcement not to resign, before the

deadline. he did not try to come in, some remained. it's been tense. there has been a couple of peaks. one of police officers in the lines behind me, he collapsed. they wanted to take him out. there was a little stand off with the protesters, because they thought the other day police used ambulances to bring in tear gas and riot gear much there was a stand off, the ambulance was let out, and we later heard that he is in a critical condition. protesters are not moving despite the concessions for a talk. the chief executive is not pressing them to get into the building. there has been talk of protesters occupying government buildings. any indication that things are moving in that direction? > not yet david. we heard that on thursday. that's why people here. thursday morning, because that announcement went out.

they never pushed on the police lines. there was word that they tried to. there are fractions within the movement now. some, the younger within, younger protesters, they want to take things to the next level. those that started the movement years ago in different forms, this movement. they want things to remain violence free that's while we probably see ditimes ahead. luck i -- difficult times ahead. luckily they did not try to occupy the government blngs. >> scott heidler reporting live in hong kong. thank you for the update. president obama said america's economy improved since the great recession, but more is needed to help the middle class. he responsible at north we were university and said america should be proud of the economic rebound in the last six years, and noticed the united states put more people back to work

since the recession than all economies combined. >> over the past four and a half years, our businesses created 10 million new jobs. it's the longest stretch in our history. >> the president said the policies cut deficits by half, and reminded the crowd that america has become the largest oil producer in the world. >> despite all the progress many americans are struggling to make ends meet. the fact is that 45 million people are below the poverty line, struggling to put food on the table. maria hernandez worked three times to provide support for the family. how she slept in the car. usually with the engine running. she died in her car, it was consistent with inhalation of gasoline and it was ruled an accident. she was 32 years old. kerry gleeson is the director of

the fair work week directive and joins us. when you hear about cases like maria fernandez, is she an anomaly or are others like her. >> there are millions of americans working multiple part-time jobs. it was difficult for me to read the news coverage about maria, because i know many workers like her are not sleeping full nights of sleep. waking the kids up in the middle of the night to bring children to childcare to cover early morning shifts, like we heard about the starbucks. not just in san diego, but one young mother in pennsylvania experienced that challenge. there are workers across the country that are struggling to support the families like maria struggled with multiple part time jobs. to hear about president obama talk about the job creation and

an economic recovering, there are millions of americans that are not feeling that recovering. when you have three part-time jobs, how aren't you. >> it's dangerous for some communities and the corporations to have people working so much with so little sleep. why do they do it? >> i think that the employers attitude towards the workforce changed. they view them as a cost that should be minimised. when part-time workerserb less than full- -- earn less than full-time, you don't have to offer career paths and benefits. it's a way of cutting costs. it shows there's other added expenses to it. there's turn over, it's not good for business or workers or the economy.

there's a debate about the practices. it made a decision that it's better for the bottom line to get profit and not worry about the potential damage to customer service or the quality of the product or accidents caused by workers that are exhausted. >> there are businesses, many businesses, like wal-mart and starbucks that had the short-sighted view on how to manage the workforce. what we are seeing is that workers are pushing back. our legislators are pushing back and i think there's growing attention to the unnecessary cost associated with the practices. some companies are wondering if it's word it. >> the great political debate heading to the mid term elections, they like to say the unemployment has dropped. the partially employed seems to be going up.

we are finding last year that the majority of job growth was in unemployment, it's more than doubled in the past few years, and the measures of unemployment are off. maria fernandez would have been counted as a full-time workers despite plooe her part-time jobs. when we look at the employment rate, if you think of how inaccurate some of the the unanimous may be, major decisions are made about economic groeth. the federal reserve looks at the numbers, making decisions impacting all working americans. >> part time is going up. have there been policies put forward, health care. he issing how some are feeling? >> it was great to see the roll

out. sheing how workers not able to access the health insurance. we see a movement, $15 an hour minimum wage in seattle the fluction of ground braking legislation and i think that what we are seeing is there are solutions and growing resentiveness to begin to imlement them. director for the center of popular democracy. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> smuggling fighters into syria. >> people around the world wanted to help. >> many of the fighters ended up in the ranks of i.s.i.l., what the turkish government is doing about the border crisis. plus the game plan, how the c.d.c. plans to contain ebola.

welcome back to al jazeera america, i'm shute - coming --

david shuster. coming up, a smuggler that said he helped dozens get into syria. a film-maker behind a documentary joins us in studio. >> what's in a name, a former n.f.l. valuable player tells us why the redskins should never back down. >> there has been an important development in the fight against i.s.i.l. turkey's parliament authorised military action inside syria and iraq. meaning turkey's players defying high school, and any group deemed an organization can operate outside of turkey, and they can use the turkish bases. it's a move the united states waited for, and it could change

the kl eggs's strategy. >> al jazeera's nick schifrin reports from the turkey syrian border. tonight nick reports from a turkish border town with foreign fighters are smuggled into syria. >> the mountains that separate turkey from syria is not an obstagle. he's a mug ler that helped dozens of foreign fighters cross the border. >> people around the world wanted to help, their hearts went out to the syrian people. >> and to get to syria, all you have to do is walk to the edge of the city to this forest. >> this is a turkish city and the barbed wire is the only thing separating the city from idlib. the military controls the area. right now there's nobody to stop me hopping over and up the hill. >> local residents stay turkey

kept the border porous. it wanted them to fight bashar al-assad. we have people all over the world. brothers from bangladesh, from iraq, cambodia, australia, u.k. >> they helped to fuel i.s.i.l.'s rise. >> the cure for the depression... >> reporter: they inspire i.s.i.l. said unprecedented media campaign. hundreds of propaganda videos highly produced, filmed. many featuring photogening protagonists. each recruited foreignists. >> i'm from the u.k. . >> i'm your brother from south africa. >> foreign fighters reject their citizenship from membership in a self-declared islamic state. the u.s. estimates more than 15,000 fighters joined i.s.i.l. a few dozen are american.

>> we are going for you president obama. >> the u.s. believes many of these men crossed into syria from turkey. today, under heavy u.s. pressure, the turkish parliament voted to close the border and wage war on i.s.i.l. >> we'll fight against the islamic state, and all other terrorist organizations within the region. >> the crack done is starting. today, this man has given up smuggling, and runs a stand. the turkish government makes his old job too difficult. that's why he won't show his face. there are reservations about the previous policy, and all the countries made i.s.i.l. the bogeyman. >> shutting the border is impossible. from now on, the only thing to cross into syria is the tanks. >> you can see more of nick's reporting tomorrow night. join us for a special report,

five days of fear, scale from i.s.i.l., 8:30 and 11:30pm eastern. back to the top story. texas medical officials say 100 people came in contact with an ebola patient in dallas, the first confirmed case of the deadly virus in america. the source, a man from liberia, in texas to visit family. thomas eric duncan is hospitalized in serious condition, his family quarantined inside a dallas apartment. here is robert ray on the center for disease control efforts to prevent an out break in the united states. >> for months the centers for disease control has warned american hospitals about the possibility of an ebola-infected patient walking through the doors. some are not suppressed the infection arrived. >> -- surprised the infection arrive said. >> i think it will get worse. >> how quickly. >> with international air

travel, over the course of 6-8 months we can see more cases. >> reporter: as ebola patient and liberian national sits inestlation in dallas, the centers for disease control is on the ground, doing contact tracing. >> what we see is what i consider classical endeem logical research. you talk to the person, and then you just track everything out, and it can be a large number of contacts for any individual, you don't necessarily track down everybody that this just casual contact with the person, they are not at risk. >> the c.d.c. says that contract tracing it perhaps the most important prevention tool. here is how it works, after theyest late contacts, people who have been in close contact, they monitor them for 21 days, the maximum incubation time. they take their temperatures,

sometimes a few times. they make sure none of the bodily fluids from the person infected made their way to a contact. that is, according to doctors, the only way that someone can come down with the ebola infection. >> the federal department of health, and the c.d.c. say they have been working diligently to prepare honds and states urging the public not to panic. >> i think there has been an underestimation of the emotional response that this causes in people. we have watched television and movies and read books. it's kind of what we have been waiting to, and our worse nightmare in the sense of a new outbreak of an exotic disease from far away. >> c.d.c. officials maintain that there is no doubt ebola will be contained. they say the best way to protect americans is to provide services

in west africa to stop the spread of the virus. there is a formula that can estimate how many people are likely to catch ebola from a single infected person. for more, here is science and technology correspondent jacob ward. >> when health officials express confidence, they base it on on understanding of how fast it can spread. because we have the tools to come pair it to other diseases. epidemiologists rel on the basic reproductive ratio. how many people a disease is likely to infect. for every one person infected it describes how many secondary infections there could be. it varies. whooping cost is infectious, for every one person infected, as many as 17 infections can result. small pox infects as many as

seven people. h oo. v aids infects up to five people. s.a.r.s., which we have not seen anywhere in the world in 2004 infects up to five other people. ebola, it involves direct contact with body fluids doesn't spread as easily as the others. ebola is less likely to spread than that, when you look at complicated numbers. reproduction rates is a dumb measurement. it assumes that they wander at random in the same way for a disease to move through us. we don't behave like that. we kiss the kids. the pattern is complicated. >> they are developing models of the networks. they use it to predict outbreaks. here is a teenager. he goes to class, hangs out with others, has extended family, a neighbourhood and household.

then there are the random people he encounters. with an air-born virus, something lying whooping cough or the flue. he could be symptomatic, and the c.d.c. would have to look at the people. in the case of ebola, he will go home when he's most contagious. no to developing the plans. now, using the understandings of our personal patterns and behaviour. they developed software simulators, modelling the spread. one draws on research that went into traffic patterns, and others create simulated cities modelling a scenario. based on the symptoms, health officials can know where to administer vaccines to head off disaster and where to dispatch health. we are a long way from that kind of situation with ebola. if the data is right we should be concerned about other diseases.

>> jacob ward - there's news at the intersection of football and broadcasting - television and radio stations could face big fines for saying the name of washington's n.f.l. team on air. that's if - it's a big if - federal regulators describes the word redskins violates decency standards. paul beban has more. >> many americans find it a slur. several media announcers stopped using it. president obama said he would change it. the latest attempt of mapping the name outright will hinge on a legal argument over free speech. >> on monday washington's professional team will face off against defending super bowl champs the seahawks. almost nobody is picking washington to win. almost every tv and radio station in the country will call the team the redskins. that could eventually change if

the federal communications commission agrees with a legal petition arguing that broadcasting the name is against the public interest which it is the f.c.c.'s duty to protect. it is instrumental in getting cigarette ads off fv in the "19 '70s. he said a washington radio station carrying redskins names uses a racial derogatory word constituting profanity and hate speech. it's owned by dan schneider, and vowed the redskins will stay the redskins forever. we'll never change the name. it's that simple. never. you can use caps. broadcasters are protected by the first amendment. they are licensed by the f.c.c. which has the power to enforce

decency standards. f.c.c. chairman said his agency will review the petition, adding there's a lot of names and prescriptions used that are inappropriate. the name that is attributed to the washington football club is one of those. >> the legal argument reaches back to the 1978, seven words you can never say on television, when the supreme court upheld the action, against a radio station airing george's routine about words considered filthy. in poor taste. unseemly street talk. locker room language. some say while the name red skips may be offensive and racist. it may be a stretch to call it obscene. it's unlikely to become a banned word. the key is to read between the line from the remarks of the chairman. he didn't say how his agency

would rule, but hinted about his personal feelings, saying his agency would look into the matter. people that watched closely say that if there's a hint that the renewal of a broad cast licence may be held up, that will put pressure on the organization to drop the name. >> great piece. al jazeera's paul beban. thank you. >> mark moseley played for the washington red skins. he joined us now via phone from middleton. >> do you support the red skips name. if so, why? >> absolutely i do. i've spent the better part of my adult life being a washington redskin. i wear a super bowl ring saying washington redskin. i don't understand why i wouldn't be part of it. i have taken into consideration some of the stories that i have heard, and i looked into it, been able to visit several indian reservations around the

united states. i have talked with a lot of native americans about it, and the very question if i was to call them a red skin. we take a lot of pride in the name. >> would it be a polite - clearly, there are indian organizations that are out there. no one is saying you couldn't be proud. all the accomplishments. arguments are that times changed and this is the time to move on. >> what about it. >> why change the name. if it wasn't bad before, why now. it doesn't matter what you call yourself. if it's not hurting someone, you are never going to please everyone. we have a name that carried respect for a lot of years. we have never done anything to dishonour the western redskins, all the native americans that i spoke to are proud of the fact that we carry the name.

>> some of them at least feel that the redskins name is inappropriate. >> not one of them have said that. >> there was somebody in the background. maybe someone in the background feels that way. they are not telling us that. that's why we as players were making sure we were not insulting one. that's what the opener wanted to find out. if there was, you consider changing it. the native american indians arrived us for help, that's why we have formed the foundations. we have over 190 projects going on, trying to help. we plan to do more. >> everybody salutes that, and the work that you and the others are doing. everyone salutes the accomplishments through the year. >> no, you don't. everyone want to use it against us. >> specifically, it's been said it is wrong, it's not coming out

of a fact vacuum. others feel that the time to change the name is derogatory. why not put it goodnight. that's how the country feels. there are other names that you can come up with where it will end the controversy. >> why would i want to change. why would you want to change the name of your network? there's a lot of people turned off by the name of your network. >> that is true. >> they are titled to complain. >> as americans we have the right to voice our opinions. and you can't please everyone. we know that. we are not trying to please everyone, we know we can't do that. we appreciate the passions and emotions we bring to this. it's an important point of view that a lot want to hear. we are thankful that you join us at al jazeera. thank you for joining us. >> you're welcome. automaker tesla says its

cars are the way of the future. the debate is driving both from the showrooms to the courtroom. adam may has an exclusive report. >> tesla executives are firing back at the competition, and in their first tv interview about mounting lawsuits fired by traditional autodealers. tessa vp spoke to "america tonight". . >> we have been mischaracterised by a lot of dealer associations as trying to destroy the dealer system, to aviserate the dealer system, and if we succeed it's armageddon for the dealers. >> to under the conflict, how it could shake up the u.s. autoindustry, you first need to understand tesla. >> wow, the acceleration is insane. >> almost 80 k/hr.

>> the fully leaded tesla model s is a $100,000 model marvel. electric, no emissions, able to travel 300 miles on a charge. >> this will be fun to drive. >> it is. i love it. i had the car 16 months now. i love driving it every day. >> reporter: arthur blake from atlanta georgia bought one of the first 10,000 to role off the line. it was the dream of elon musk, a businessman that made a fortune on pay pal dreamed of changing the american car and buying them direct from the manufacturers. >> i'm an it guy. i'm comfortable with performing online. that was what elan set out to face. he wanted to make a car, an vehicle that didn't suck >> reporter: did he succeed? >> i think he succeeded wildly,

and surprised himself as to how well it turned out. >> another unwelcome surprise - a battle with car dealership organizations. they want tesla to conform to the traditional model of selling cars - through independent dealerships - or else. >> tesla chose to enter the marketplace, knowingly, and wilfully in violation of the law. >> jim appleton runs the new jersey car association. another state battling tesla in sport. >> let's face it, everyone does what's in their economic interest. dealers is to serve consumers, compete for your business and carry out warranty and safety recalls. >> by cutting out the middle man, a franchise autodealer, you don't have someone to go to bat in case there's a problem with the car. who helps. >> that's an interesting relationship, arguing that

dealers in recall situations that will stand up for the customers, which is interesting. one that is words exploring. if this were the case, one would have expected the dealers in the case of this problem with g.m. to have raised the red flag. you can see more of adam's report on "america tonight". there's more to the story, including a buyer caught in the middle of the controversy, waiting for his new tesla. that's in 10 minutes, at the top of the hour. >> russian vigilantes praying on the gay community, a documentary taking us inside the disturbing world. we speak to the journalist taking us behind the project.

i'll take you to the we were pacific, they are in their tropical se tropical seven, and this is the 19th storm. for the western pacific, it is normal for what they would see.

this is typhoon fan phone and it's equivalent to a category 3 hurricane, if it was in the atlantic. now it's an open water. we'll watch this carefully. the reason being it's making its way to the west, and to the north-west. we have japan here, and the islands down in this area, and the hur gain center is thinking that the storm will make sa turn to the north and the north-east. it has quite aways away before making the term. if it conditions on the track, we'll be concerned about what happens to japan over the next couple of days. across the atlantic season, the eastern part of the pacific. we are watching what will not be a factor. that will continue out here towards much of the west. for the atlantic we are looking at a very, very quiet season. that's a look at the weather.

in russia tens of thousands log on to watch the brutal and humiliating attacks. >> the director of "hunted - the war on gays in russia", joins us in the studio. what drove you to make the film. >> i wanted to expose and show it to the world, the terror that the gay people are exposed to. the way that they are targeted, hunted and the way that vigilante gangs are luring them to meet up, physically assaulting them. also humiliating them, pouring urine on them at times. outing them in social media sites. it's horrific, it's a hunting season that's been open. >> in the film, are these roving gangs that are organised. do they get together and talk about the safaris, whatever they call them? >> that's right.

the clip we are seeing is really brutal violence. there are - the main group is called occupy paedophilia, and they make a false link, claiming homosexuality and paedophilia are the same activity and are active in 30 rush yn cities. week in, week out they target gay men and women and they humiliate and attack them. >> what is driving them to do this, and in russian society that encourage or allows this. >> last year, new law was tossed bit the russian state duma, banning references to moemo sexuality that is positive or neutral and the law specifies that this is to protect children. it's references to homosexuality that children might access. it's loosely worded law, loosely worded on purpose. what it does is it pushes

homosexualitiry under ground, making it second class citizens, and worse than that, it underlines that link in people's mind between homosexuality and a danger to children. putin himself made the link, you may recall, in the run up to the social olympics. >> is there an alt of repress that -- amount of repress that people have have homosexual feelings, that they may act out in violent ways. >> it's a good question. it's estimated that 1% of russian gay people lead an open life. so there's a lot of repress because when homosexuality is not tolerated, of course it leads the people leading closeted lives. >> what was the most difficult part to making the film, other are than what you witnessed in terms of setting this up. >> the hardest thing in the film

is there's a graphic scope where we have access to a vigilante group, and a gay man arrives at the flat, he was lured by the people that hunted him on a safari to entrap him. he turns up. and i'm pushed out of the room, just before he arrives. and i force my way back in, and i'm filming as the young man is kind of held captive by 13 vigilantes, whoar baying for a fight. and i refuse to stop filming even though they order me to stop. both because it's incredibly important that this is documented, and also because i'm in fear for the young man's safety, i feel that by filming and holing the camera i'm acting as a break to extreme forms of violence. >> ben still is the film-maker behind the h.b.o. documentary
