make a move and mcconnell can take a chance if it goes to the white house. >> one day after republicans claimed the majority in both chambers of commerce for the first time since 2006, president obama acknowledged a new political reality. >> obviously republicans had a good night, and they deserve credit for running good campaigns. >> republicans used the opportunity to deliver a message to mr. obama, and a potential 2016 democratic presidential contender. >> this was a direct rejection of the obama agenda and voters were very clear in return, they want nothing to do with the policies of barack obama and hillary clinton. >> coming off his own win, the man poised to become senate majority leader mitch mcconnell struck a more conciliatory tone.

>> i think we have an obligation to change the behavior of the senate and to begin to function again. >> and made assurances to step away from previous battles. >> there will be no government shutdowns and no default on the national net. >> some fights won't be easy to avoid, including passage of the key stone pipeline, tax reform, energy bill and post election niceties gave way to defiance with president obama saying he will act alone. >> executive actions that i take will be sup plant the with actions by congress. you. >> the president was for less animate when it came to his signature health care law, saying there is now room for compromise. those are a few of the items that the president acknowledges could create more washington

gridlock. he made a vow to those who are fed up and angry. >> i want you to know i hear you, two the two thirds of voters who chose not to participate in the process yesterday, i hear you, too. >> now in the spirit of collegiality, president obama said he would be willing to share a kentucky bourbon with mitch mcconnell. a year ago, he he made it the butt of a joke, making it sound like the epitome of boredom. now talk about getting along, the president said he's willing to go golfing with and lose to. this is the backbone of how deals in washington have been made for decades and in recent years that just spending time together hasn't been happening. >> they're calling it the bourbon summit already. what should we expect at the white house. >> expect the leadership from both sides of the aisle to go to the white house and isil is on

the agenda, just what to do about that, getting funding going and also, the president has other agenda items. he laid out that he thinks he and congress can work together on, like more funding to fight ebola and also looking at hammering out a budget. those are main items, but also, it's just a moment for them to sit in the room and talk. >> thank you very much. >> there is no official winner in virginia's senate race. with nearly 100% of the votes counted, mark warner is leading by 16,000 votes. republican challenger ed gillespie hasn't decided whether to ask for a recount. >> in alaska, democratic senator mark beggage will not concede the race. right now, he's losing to the republican challenger dan sullivan. he won in 2008.

>> we'll talk to our political contributor about the new relationship between president obama and mitch mcconnell and ask her the question can they really work together. >> the israeli army says a palestinian driver who ran over three israeli soldiers has now turned himself in. the incident was caught all on camera, a warning, some may find this video disturbing. you can see this van driving straight towards the soldiers in the west bank. all three were injured and initially, the driver fled the scene. hours earlier, there was a similar attack in jerusalem. one police officer was killed and at least a dozen were injured. >> we are joined now live from jerusalem. how are people reacting to not one, but two incidents of this type of violence? >> good morning. well, yeah, frankly, a lot of people here feeling very uneasy, very uncertain. jerusalem is extremely tense not

only in the occupied east but in the west of the city. that is of course as you rightly point out, there have been two incidents in 24 hours in which a palestinian driver has driven into people waiting at a light rail station and then this separate incident in which three israeli soldiers were hit by a palestinian driver, a driver who has within the last few hours turned himself in. just under two weeks ago, we saw a similar situation in which a palestinian man drove his car into a group of people also waiting at a light rail station. one woman and a baby died in that incident. all of this is leading to a general sense of unease, but it has been felt acutely in east jerusalem for not only the last few days, but in the last few months. really the situation there feeling very tense indeed, on going protests in the east. we are seeing that spill over into the west, as well.

>> and you say mention that spilling over, what about jordan? what is jordan's role in this? >> jordan has a very complicated relationship within this region. jordan 20 years ago signed a bilateral security agreement with israel, and part of that means is that jordan is responsible for safe-keeping, religious sites in east jerusalem, including the mosque. jordan recalled its ambassador and has also submitted letter to the u.n. security council in which they have condemned and criticized what they say is israel provocations at the mosque compound. now, you'll remember that the compound has seen tension over the last few days, there's been a lot of protests there and jordan saying enough is enough. they're responsible for this,

they say what they say as israeli provocation have gone too far and that's why they've made this complaint and recalled their ambassador. a very tense situation between these two countries, which normally had fairly good ties. >> thanks so much for being with us. >> president obama says he wants new authority to conduct the u.s. military campaign against isil. he plans to ask congress for more powers. the white house had said the measures passed in 2001 and 2003 dave them all the authority they needed but now the president faces a different type of enemy. on the border between turkey and syria, what's happening? >> relationships between turkey and iraq have hit a low over the past couple years particularly under the premiership of

al-maliki who many blamed for imposing sectarian policies which drove away and marginalized communities and allowed isil to recruit more fighters in an attempt to vindicate their message, saying that the only way to defend the sunni population of the region was by taking up arms. now that the al-maliki government has been dissolved and there's been a new prime minister installed, iraq and turkey seem to be able to move on from that. practically speaking, what that has meant is two things. on a much smaller level, what it does is they've agreed to abolish all visas between the two countries as a sign of good will between them and an attempt to kind of bring that and ankara

back together. the isil threat is present in the syria border and in iraq across the border from turkey. >> in recent days, isil has been gaining ground near erbil. what is being done to help the peshmerga forces protecting the region? >> they have been been given significant help from foreign powers, particularly from the u.s. and the u.k. we understand u.s. forces are training peshmerga fighters in and around erbil and providing them with their expertise and training. that has the u.s. sending missions in terms of providing strategic support to try and give that kind of training to them, however, the kurdish fighters both in iraq and syria do still complain, saying that

they don't have enough fire power to combat the isil fighters on the ground. that's what they're really pulling for. >> those weapons are supposed to be on the way. joining us from turkey, thank you very much. >> president obama is asking for more money to fight ebola here in the united states, as well as overseas. he's asked congress for $6.2 billion, and $2 billion would go to prevent the spread of the virus in the u.s. the world bank is sending $450 million to the three west african countries hit hardest by ebola. the world health organization says the number of cases in guinea has stablized but in liberia, a new center has opened to treat health care workers who are infected while treating patients. >> 40 days ago, what developed over the next five weeks is an illustration of partnering and

passion. >> it was financed and built by the united states and has 25 beds. it begins taking patients this weekend. >> a young philadelphia woman missing for days after a violent abduction all caught on tape that been found safe. >> erica pitzi joins us now. >> the suspect is in jail this morning. the woman was reunited with her family overnight at the hospital and she is now back home and doing well. >> held captive for three days, the woman is now safe and her alleged attacker. >> he's a vicious predator. he's off the streets and hopefully he'll be in jail for the rest of his life. >> the 37-year-old is the prime suspect in the violent abduction of the 22-year-old nursing assistant. surveillance video on sunday shows her struggling to escape as her attacker forced her into his car in northwest philadelphia. it's been an agonizing time for

her family. her mother nearly collapsed in front of the cameras begging the kidnapper to let her daughter go. >> give her back, give her back, please give her back. >> police quickly cracked the case and rescued her in three days. a series of surveillance videos from a nearby bank and grocery store helped investigators track the suspect using the victim's debit card, leading police to her car. inside, she and her abductor. >> luck was in our favor in that we were able to get her before they left the scene and she is now some place safe. >> that announcement bringing relief for her family. now this mother stands tall at the podium praising police for rescuing her daughter. >> you brought my baby home. you brought her right home. >> good job. >> thank you. [ applause ] >> certainly a happy moment for that family.

now the man is being held on a warrant out of virginia for attempted capital murder involving explosives that are related to an entirely different crime. police expect to file charges in this abduction case soon. >> coming up, we'll talk with former f.b.i. profiler mary ellen o'toole about what drives someone to abduct a person off the street in a major city. >> there is pressure on mexico's president to help find the missing college students, hundreds of thousands of people taking the streets. college students started a three day strike in support. we have more from mexico city. >> thousands of mexicans took to the streets in the capitol and 10 states throughout the country on wednesday, continuing the pressure on the government and saying that they have still not provided answers as to what happened to the 43 students that disappeared at the hands of local police in the town of

iguala more than a month ago. >> if the government doesn't act more decisively, this could get out of control. >> federal forces captured the mayor of iguala and his wife who they believe were the master minds behind the attack on the students. they have now been questioned by the police but still the question remains where are the students. these protests aren't happening just here in mexico, they're happening all throughout the world, europe, in the united states, africa, and again, it's a further sign that people of mexico are very frustrated with the government, especially with the president who campaigned on a promise to make this country safer. >> we are living in a narco state. the federal government is in bed with drug cartels, so this is just the tip of the iceberg and beyond what we can accept.

we're tired of so many disappearances and killings. >> this case has brought international attention once again to the polite of mexicans who are enduring violence on a daily basis here because of the drug war. approval ratings are less than 40%, some of the lowest in the past 20 years here in mexico for any president. the pressure continues for him to show results that he can make the country safer and most importantly, give answers as to what happened two these 43 men that disappeared at the hands of local police. >> also in mexico, the government said it will provide protection for a woman and her family who said they were threatened after seeing soldiers kill gang members in june. >> snow is on the way and winter is here. >> i guess it is november, so it's ok to mention the s. word. >> it's a four letter word, the snow is on the way.

we've already had it through parts of the great lakes now, through parts of minnesota with a clipper and we have this other system extending back into texas. these two are coming together into the northeast. that's going to cause us some problems. already some rain this morning and heavy stuff and persistent in states like new jersey and new york as you head out this morning, so be prepared. you've got these two pieces of energy coming together, so not only a wet day today but as the system moves into a coastal low and the wrap around moisture with the cold air coming in behind this, cold enough tomorrow to support areas of snow. this is mostly for tomorrow. anywhere from northern new york to parts of maine, the heaviest snow could see a foot, a couple isolated spots even more than that, so we already have the winter weather advisories up because of that. i'll have more coming up. >> winter almost here, thanks so much, nicole. >> they are promising now to work together. >> that's president obama and

republican leaders agreeing to the gridlock in washington must come to an end. we will discuss if that's possible with issues like immigration and obama care. burkina faso works towards a peaceful transition to a new government. >> back in january, yankee slugger alex rodriguez admitted to using performance enhancing drugs. the question now, are fans ready to give him another chance. >> 11 million is our big number of the day. >> why so many people are apply forego a chance to become an american. americ now an in-depth investigation reveals shocking new evidence. what really happened? the day israel attacked america. only on al jazeera america.

>> today's big number is 11 million people and that's how many applied this year for the green card lottery. >> applications for the diversity program are up. they are given by luck of the draw only. >> you don't actually need any special skills for family ties for that lottery.

some in congress simply want to abolish it. >> there are allegations against alex rodriguez coming days after he wrapped up his season long suspension for using performance enhancement dogs. a-rod has admitted using ped's, was that all with the yankees. >> he has admitted in the past doing it with the texas rangers but now the miami herald is reporting that he made his admission about doing it with the yankees and the admissions appear to directly contradict his public posture of in sense. >> in 2009, alex rodriguez admitted to using p.e.d.'s during his stint with the texas rangers but denied dope, his tenure with the new york yankees. >> you are telling all your fans here you did not do what you're accused of doing. >> that's correct, mike. >> a-rod was singing a very

different tune to d.e.a. investigators in return for immunity from prosecution. the herald report details a january meeting between a-rod and federal law enforcement investigating bio genesis clinic. the founder anthony bosch maintained he supplied rodriguez from this clinic. in that meeting, rodriguez admitted buying $12,000 of banned drugs per month for two years. then paid hush money to his former middle man and injecting directly into his stomach. while a-rod was making these confessions, he was still maintaining a defiant public stance against bud selig and major league's decision to suspend him for the entire 2014 season. rodriguez sued major league baseball and one of his staunchest advocates, the player's association. he dropped those lawsuits weeks later. amid new revelations is this

reality, his suspension from baseball officially ended when the world series ended october 29. he's currently on track to make what promises to be an uncomfortable return to the yankees and to baseball when spring training starts next february. >> the yankees will come into the season still owing a-rod $61 million on his contract. >> a second day of testimony in ray rice's appeal of his nfl suspension. a hearing got underway wednesday and rice said the nfl violated his due process rights under the collective bargaining agreement. he was suspended indefinitely after security video showed him punching out his then fiancee in a casino elevator. commissioner roger goodell was the first witness called to the stand wednesday testifying under route for more than two hours. >> president obama and the soon to be senate majority leader mitch mcconnell gearing up for a

showdown both speaking to reporters wednesday separately. the president called mcconnell to congratulate him. the president said he won't compromise on immigration or the affordable care act. our political analyst joins us. i hope you got some sleep last night. >> a little bit. >> the president outlined his goals when he talked to reporter wednesday. >> my number one goal, because i'm not running again, i'm not on the ballot, i don't have any further political aspirations, my number one goal is just to deliver as much as i can for the american people in the last two years. >> the president holds the veto pen, congress the purse strings. are we looking at more gridlock? >> mience was we are.

he took very little responsibility of what occurred. he said two thirds of americans did not vote. this was not an embrace of republican parties going forward. he offered into policy changes, no change in tone and no change in staff. >> let's listen to what mitch mcconnell had to see about the future. >> the first thing i need to do is get the senate back to normal, working more, i don't think we had any votes on friday in anybody's memory. it means opening the senate up. so that amendments are permitted on both sides, and it means occasionally burning the midnight oil in order to reach a conclusion. >> what do you think of mcconnell's assessment? is it really just that they haven't been working hard enough? >> he mentioned how he's going

to fix the senate and put them back to work. the problem is, he didn't say how he was going to make that happen and how they were going to work with a democratic president. that's really the key. you also note that he had an op ed yesterday with john boehner promising to repeal obamacare. the house as we know it has attempted to repeal dozens of times, the senate has not taken it up. the penalty has said he will fix, but not appeal. i'm still wondering and scratching my head how they are going to work together. >> why should he work with mitch mcconnell. he said on the first day barack obama took the oath of office, my number one priority is to make sure barack obama is a one term president. why should he work with mitch mcconnell? >> the president can be frustrated, but the obstructionists don't always get the blame, the party in power gets the blame, and that's

president obama. for his less, he's got to figure out a way to work. i don't know how that's going to has been, because yesterday he offered new clues. >> stay tuned. >> we'll have bourbon soon? kentucky bourbon soon? [ laughter ] >> thank you. >> britain's military is sent to train iraq soldiers. >> it's one more pees of the puzzle in the war against isil. we'll talk about why the u.k. is doing something the u.s. has already spent billions of dollars doing, as well. >> a 90-year-old florida man is fighting for his right to feed the homeless, vowing not to quit. >> an s.u.v. crashes into a restaurant and slams into the buffet sending customers scrambling. >> a fence around the royal palace in am at her dam to keep dutch drinkers from relieving themselves on the building is just one of the stories caught in our global net.

himself into police in israel after the van he was in hit three israeli soldiers in the west bank. this hours after a van hit a crowd in jerusalem. one officer was killed and nearly a dozen injured. police later shot and killed that driver. hamas claimed responsibility for the jerusalem crash. >> iraq and turkey mending fences, top turkish officials have been meeting in containing are a. turkey will offer training to the military as will british forces. the u.k. is already helping kurdish fighters near erbil. >> this is the kind of fire power the kurdish peshmerga say they need to stand a chance against isil. these heavy machine guns have been given to the peshmerga. the weapons have a range of two kilometers and fire up to 500 rounds a minute. it's a boost for the poorly equipped soldiers fighting isil along a front line stretching

1,000 kilometers. security is tight, the british defense secretary has flown to iraq's kurdish regional capital erbil, promising more weapons and training. >> airstrikes alone will not rescue kobane. these are operations that have to be conducted on the ground with the help of airstrikes, but we are stepping up our commitment here both to training and to the supply of weapons and ammunition. >> british soldiers are training the peshmerga at this camp. we are not allowed to show their faces. there are security fears for them here and back home. >> this soldier just completed training on the machine gun. the british government has already given 40 of these weapons to the peshmerga. the u.s. and germany among other members of the international coalition have also supplied the peshmerga with equipment. the peshmerga say that recent

gains made against isil in towns like on the syrian border would not have been possible without the help of coalition airstrikes, but weeks of bombing by coalition fighter jets on the town of kobane on the syrian-turkish border have failed to dislodge isil there. there are questions over whether the peshmerga are ready to take on isil in militarily complicated urban environments like mosul where there is a large civilian population. >> isil marry rail is low. we are ready for urban wear fair. the iraq government should get ready and get ready to take mosul back. >> the iraqis have put aside fierce of giving weapons to the peshmerga. >> this is an international fight for humanity. we need as much help as we can get. >> this peshmerga soldier at

least said he's ready. >> we learned a lot from our british instructors. we are prepared for the battle. >> it's a battle that's far from won. aljazeera, erbil. >> retired air force colonel cedric layton is with us this morning. the u.k. now sending in trainers to train the iraqi army. the united states has spent billions of dollars doing that. how much training does this army need? >> one of the big problems is that it's a lot of good money after bad. we see that there is no way that you can throw money at a problem that has a lot of other issues associated with it. there is no iraqi state that can take that money and actually do something effective with it in a military training sense. that's a very hard thing to say, because there are a lot of iraqis that are very good

soldiers, they are very brave people, but they're allegiance is not to the state, it is to their tribe. that makes a huge difference in how you spend your money. >> explain to us why this is so difficult to understand. is it a matter of training or will? the last time they were attacked, they basically laid down their weapons and ran. is there no pride at all in defending the iraqi flag? >> there is very little pride for many of the soldiers that are in this group, and the problem that you have is because they're allegiance is primarily to their tribal elders and so their religious affiliation. you deal with a situation where if you support the state-funded functions, then you are not really giving the real state of iraq a chance. the real state of iraq is probably going to be several different countries that are based on ethnicity, based on tribe and based on the fact that the institutions aren't ready to

accept the kind of money that the west would be giving them. >> if it is your opinion that this is good money going for bad, how long will it be before the western and the iraqi people say it's time to give up on this and it's just a loft cause. >> i think it's going to be very hard. what you're dealing with is a completely different change in mindset and neither the u.k. nor the u.s. has achieved policies that will allow it to change the map of the middle east. they need to have plans that say the map of the middle east is going to -- >> you don't think they have it right yet. >> i don't think they have it right at all. we need to fight isil. we need to do things that really defend the places like baghdad, even kobane, but we're not doing it in a way that is cost effective and not recognizing the fact we're going to have to fund militia groups out there. a lot of them are bad actors in many respects -- >> and they fought our troops.

>> in many cases. we are seeing a shift in alliances, allegiances and a shift in the way we always should see a shift in the way we have to do business in this part of the world. >> thank you for being with us. >> in burkina faso, political and military leaders reached deal to form a transitional government, but it will take a year before the country holds those elections. there's still a great many details to be i should out. >> the presidents of ghana, nigeria and senegal met with the military leader who says he is now in charge. there's a photo moment, but no smiles and hand shakes. the streets are calm now, but hundreds of thousands protested here against the former government and most people don't want military rule.

for just a transition, we have no problem, but this was a popular revolution, so we want a civilian leader. >> we prefer a civilian. we don't need military rule nil. we want him to leave. >> visiting heads of state came to speak. the members of the political party arrived, too, minutes later, the people who mobilized the cross roots anti-government meeting stormed out. they refused to talk to those who tried to change the constitution and kill protestors. >> we have more than 40 people killed. we have more than 100 people who have been injured. no one has been buried so far. you are bringing these people to the table to discuss what?

>> while the civic leaders sing the national anthem, the leaders lead. while still in power, they held their last meeting at this hotel. it was one of the grandest in the city. here are some of their cars. the president had paid for them to stay in the hotel the night before they were due to vote in parliament on removing presidential term limits. protestors later ransacked the hotel and burned the vehicles and ever since, the politicians have been living under protection in a police barracks. >> the country's now under military rule and the visiting president wants to select a civilian leader straight away but all the factions need more time to choose an interim leader. for now, the military remains in control and people here are still waiting to know how they'll be governed and by who. aljazeera, burkina faso. >> one of the country's constitution, the head of the national assembly is supposed to take office if the president resigns, but that constitution

was suspended over the weekend. >> a federal judge ruling against police in ferguson missouri and that five second rule for protestors, the judge saying people not violating the laws are free to protest on the public sidewalks. during those demonstrations, police told the protestors they could stop for only five seconds. they had a keep moving or face arrest. >> activists want advance notice before prosecutors announce a grand jury decision in that case. the group of pastors and community leaders are calling for peace when that announcement is made. >> protestors also took to the streets of chicago calling for an investigation of their police department. >> you don't feel nothing that we feel! we are hurting! we got a scrape up to bury our family members! >> a lot of emotion as they allege racial profiling and police brutality. 100 people called for superintendent gary mccarthy to step down. they used three recent cases of young black men killed by police

to highlight their cause. >> morgan, general motors is turning to new incentives to get repairs done on millions of recalled cars, offering gift cards for restaurants, racing to fix 2 million car it is by the end of the year. we are live from detroit this morning. what drove g.m. to try out this plan? >> good morning to you. as you mentioned earlier this year, general motors recalled over 2 million vehicles and so far, not even half have been fixed. this means there could be thousands of vehicles out here on the road that are dangerous. as an incentive to get people into the rare shops, general motors is offering twenty-five-dollar gift cards to wal-mart and starbucks to get people into their rare shops. general motors is saying basically the problem is that people simply aren't taking this serious enough and this isn't something to be taken lightly. >> only half of the cars recalled have been fixed, so why

aren't owners heeding the warning? >> a lot of vehicles, the majority of them are 10 years and older, so it may be that people aren't in those vehicles anymore, maybe they've been passed down to one person from the next to the next and maybe these letters of notification just aren't getting to the right people. >> before we let you go, what's the latest on the investigation into those recalls themselves? the federal government is still investigating these recalls. as far as the death linked to the recall, g.m. says right now it's near 30. that number is expected to rise and general motors expected to shell out over $400 million to settle claims. >> more than 100,000 audis being recalled because the airbags could malfunction. the recall involved a4 and s4 see danes as well as the all

road station wagons model year 2013-2015. during testing, they found front air bags might not actually deploy. also nine people in houston are recovering this morning after being hit by an s.u.v. that crashed directly into a restaurant. it happened around lunch time wednesday and the s.u.v. plowed through a glass window and straight into the buffet line. look at that. then it stepped and kicked into gear again. the driver accidental hit the gas instead of the brake. police aren't saying if they plan to charge her. >> a 90-year-old man in florida in trouble with the law because he was feeding homeless people there. >> we have more on that. how does that even happen? >> story of the day. this is one everyone will be talking about. it's happening in fort lauderdale, florida. officials say there's a new ordinance on the books that restricts public feeding of homeless people but this feisty fellow, the sweetest, cutest

nutritional choices. it is the number three cause of cancer deaths in the u.s. >> a woman is back home with her family after being abducted. she was found alive in maryland yesterday. police tracked the car shown in a surveillance video of her kidnapping. a suspect is in f.b.i. custody. authorities say the pair did not know each other. >> mary ellen o'toole is a former f.b.i. profiler and joins us from washington, d.c. this morning. the f.b.i. said tips led investigators to identify the suspect's car, which they then tracked to maryland, where the 22-year-old was found alive. are you surprised by this outcome? >> i actually am surprised that we found this victim and she's alive, frankly. i think everyone is very, very happy and relieved about that. with all the public attention on

this case based on the videos that were released, it was guaranteed to bring in a lot of leads, a lot of people wanting to help and call in and with their information. in the end, i think that's really what solved this case. you mentioned the tips that came in from the footage, when you watched the footage, did anything strike you as unusual for noteworthy about the suspect's behavior? >> yes, it did. his behavior is what we call very high-risk behavior, extremely high risk. he was captured on videotape committing this violent crime. he did it at 9:30 at night in a residential neighborhood. there were people around. any number of potential witnesses and he didn't care. he still committed that crime with or without the videotapes. that's considered very high risk behavior for an offender and that sets him in a category very

unique to a certain group of offenders. that behavior also seems to be consistent with prior crimes than he easy alleged to have committed, as well, that high-risk behavior, he doesn't care about the consequences. >> you mentioned this high-risk behavior being linked perhaps to alleged prior crimes. the suspect is being held due to an outstanding attempted capital murder warrant in virginia. does that shed light on his motives? was she a victim of opportunity or perhaps a target. >> she was actually both. it appears at least right now that barnes was out looking for a victim, we call has predatory behave, out hunting for a human victim. once he finds the victim, then she becomes his target, so it's actually both. it's random until he finds the victim and then that victim becomes the targeted person,

what he wants. my sense is that's what we will see in the previous case involving the 16-year-old, the same thing, that he was out hunting, he finds the victim, at that point, she becomes a target. >> what about when authorities hunt the alleged suspect? during the investigation, philadelphia police inspector dennis wilson noticed that her debit card was used at a maryland a.t.m., then photos showed a man similar to the one who abducted her. would authorities have relied on facial imaging to identify that suspect? >> i don't know that it was that sophisticated. what they were able to do from the camera that took a picture of him at the a.t.m., they released that along with a picture of him taken at a convenience store and the purpose that have was to put it out there so someone who knew him would be able to recognize

his face. even though it was gray and a little hard to recognize, if that was your son, your neighbor, someone else that had dealt with him in the past, they would have been able to recognize him from those grainy photographs, which is in fact what happened. so i wouldn't say that that's necessarily high technology. it was really putting out there to the public that information and letting the public call in, which is in fact what they did. >> thanks to the public and a lot of good police work. >> let's get another quick check of your forecast. for that as always, we turn to nicole mitchell. >> we have one area that can deal with snow and one area soaked. here's that broad front. going through the great lakes, merging with the northeast. the trailing front has really been tapping into gulf moisture for the last couple of days and has made a very wet go for portions of texas. you can still see the heavy rain in this area and over the next couple of days. today, tomorrow, before this

tapers off, we could look at two to four inches for the extreme southern portion of texas. it will help the drought, but there's been flood concerns. another system moving into the northwest, you can pick out the spiral, the new low pressure moving on with some more areas of rain. >> a colombian fisherman last at sea two days has been rescued. he was found clinging to his cooler. the both capsized, dumping him and his friend into the water. he is recovering at the hospital, but his fishing buddy is still missing. >> billions of dollars are spent on the mid terms this week but the presidential election in 2016 could be even more expensive. >> we will break down how likely candidates are packing their war chests full of money. >> forget romantic walks on the beach, lots of people heading to honolulu to get their hands on big guns. the island has become a mecca

for gun tourism. >> we are back with more on aljazeera america. aljazeera america. >> al jazeera america presents the best documentaries >> i felt like i was just nothing >> for this young girl, times were hard >> doris had a racist, impoverished setting had a major impact >> but with looks charm.... >> i just wanted to take care of my momma... >> and no remorse... >> she giggles everytime she steps into the revolving door of justice >> she became legendary... >> the finer the store, the bigger the challenge >> al jazeera america presents the life and crimes of doris payne

one year ago america tonight brought you the story that shocked the nation sex crimes on campus: >> i remember waking up and he was trying to have sex me... >> now we return has anything changed? >> his continued presence on the campus put the entire community at risk

>> for the better... >> i was arrested for another false charge that she had made up... >> america tonight's special report sex crimes on campus: one year later on al jazeera america >> it's like waving a red flagg in front of a bull to say if you guys don't do what i want, i'm going to do it on my own. >> that showdown in washington shaping up over the issue of immigration, one day after the gop sweeps the mid terms, senator mitch mcthrowing down it is gauntlet to president obama. >> a third hit-and-run attack just this week, the wave of violence fueling anger between

israel's and palestinians. >> ramping up the spending fight against ebola, the president calling on billions of dollars to fight the virus. >> keeping tabs on what you're doing on the internet, two of this countries large evident cell phone companies accused of using technology to snoop on you. >> good morning, welcome to al jazeera america. the voters had their say in this morning the president and gop insist they hear it. >> both pledging to work together to end the gridlock in washington, also insisting they won't budge on some issues. for the 39, it is immigration and the affordable care act. >> both sides of drawing lines in the sand. >> the celebrations just kept coming, taking back the senate, winning the majority of the governor's races and picking up seats in the lower house. seen by most as a repudiation of

president barack obama, most but not by the president himself, who was repeatedly asked about that at a white house news conference. >> all of us in both parties have a responsibility to address that sentiment. still, as president, i have a unique responsibility to try and make this town work. >> mostly cloudy agrees that this vote was a message to make washington work. >> all of the talk of bipartisanship and ending the gridlock could soon end. president obama says he will go ahead with plans to reform the i am allegation system before the republicans even take over. >> i think it's fair to say that i've shown a lot of patience. >> republicans claim that could

end all cooperation. >> it's like waving a red flag in front of a bull to say if you guys don't do what i want, i'm going to do it on my own. the president's done that on obamacare, he's done it on immigration and threatening to do it again. i hope he won't do that, because i think it poisons the well. >> the two areas the leaders say they can work together possibly increasing infrastructure spending, corporate reform, but that is only going to be possible if they're still talks bipartisanship and cooperation after the president's had his say on immigration. >> let's go live to libby casey in louisville, kentucky this morning where the rain is fouling. on one hand. compromising will definitely be significant.

you see a moment where mitch mcconnell almost has the luxury of being the big statesman. he can talk about compromise, working together and being productive for the american people. in this chess game of politics, he can force the penalty's hand because if president obama moves ahead, it gives mitch mcconnell cart blanche to work with you, it didn't happen. there are a range of other issues they could have big fights over. even though mitch mcconnell acknowledged that reappealing obama care may not be realistic, the penalty has the power of the veto pen, he wrote an op ed piece in the wall street journal this morning with speaker john boehner calling for just that, getting rid of obamacare as part of the republicans jobs plan. there is one man who mitch mcconnell is watching and that is the president. >> in our system, the president is the most important player, because of all the obvious

constitutional advantage he has, and so it will require his accomplicety to do that. >> the bargains starts already, because legislative leaders will head to the white house tomorrow to talk about everyone's priorities, but also work on areas that they could find compromise on like funding to fight ebola and fund forego syrian rebels to fight the islamic state, isil. >> an op ed in the new york times already. what are other contentious issues we could be looking at over the next two years? >> certainly we will see this health care battle unfold, even though the republican leaders are saying privately behind the scenes that they realize they've

got to move on and tweak obamacare. that may end up being a big fight. even though mitch mcconnell is saying the debt ceiling won't be an issue within his party, there could be intra fighting between republicans that he's going to have to corral and work through. >> the president saying that he of its mitch mcconnell to have a bourbon with the two of them together, that would be interesting to see. thank you very much. >> coming up, we'll talk with republican strategist about the challenges mitch mcconnell is facing from his fellow republicans. >> a car crash in the west bank injured three soldiers. police now say this may not have been a deliberate attack and this morning, they spent time questioning the driver, who did turn himself in. authorities now believe it may have been an accident, but just hours earlier, there was another car crash over in jerusalem. one police officer was killed and at least a dozen people

injured. police later shot and killed that driver and they do believe that that one was a terror attack. we have more on the rising tension. >> the situation across jerusalem remains extremely tense following what israel police describe as a hit-and-run terror attack. authorities have started putting up cement barriers in front of light rail stations where this attack took place in which a number of people were injured and one policeman killed, as well following the other development, the fact that these israeli soldiers in the occupied west bank were run over by a palestinian driver who has now turned himself in. whatever the case, it just lends to the general sense of unease in the city, a city which has been gripped by protests in the annexed east for several months, but quite acutely over the past few weeks, we've send regular

confrontations between israeli police and palestinian protestors in palestinian neighborhoods, but it's the mosque which has seen some of the most bitter confrontations. this is the holiest site in jerusalem, a very important place for palestinians and jews and palestinians angry at the restrictions that have been put in place for them as they try to worship there and also angry at the violence they say the israeli security forces have unleashed while they are there. again, a very tense situation that doesn't appear to be calming anytime soon. >> which is why jordan has recalled its ambassador as to israel, blaming israel for escalating tensions around the mosque. >> a bomb blast on a train in key row left four dead, including two policemen. nine were wounded. >> president obama is seeking new congressional authority for the u.s. military campaign against isil. the white house once said that

measures passed in 2001 and 2003 gave them all the authority they needed but the president now says the u.s. is facing a different kind of enemy. we are live in turkey near the border with syria. after a period of estrangement, now mending fences. how will that affect iraq's fight with isil? >> there has been a visit by the iraq foreign minister to turkey. trying to rebuild the relationship and hopefully find cooperation between the two countries. turkey on the one hand, probably more so in the sense they have isil in syria and iraq across

the border from them, large swaths of land under isil control. they are trying to mend fences in order to find a unified approach to combat the militants. >> we are learning more about the worl role of kurdish women e pattle. >> there is a specific battalion of women under the y.p.g. in syria. nerve fighting isil as well as the government of bashar al assad. they specialize in trying to recruit women to combat on the front line. we spoke to one of their leaders and she was telling us the battle that the women are taking part in is an attempt to not only rid themselves of the oh fryings, but establish identity

across it is region. they are becoming more and more prominent in this current battle for kobane. >> thank you very much. >> new clashes between student protestors and police. this is the first flare up in more than two weeks now and police have already arrested three people. the protestors are demanding full democracy and say they don't want beijing to screen candidates for city offices. >> 10 people arrested in london, all accused of assaulting police officers during the million mass marsh staged by the group anonymous. some making their way to buckingham palace protesting political oppression. >> tens of thousands of people turning out in mexico city on wednesday demanding answers rewarding the experience of 43 students. it's been 40 days since those students were mysteriously taken by police. the abductions is another case of the countries rampant

production, according to prosecutor testers. >> we are living in a narco state, the federal government in bed with drug cartels. this is just the tip of the iceberg and beyond what we can accept. we're tired of so many disappearances and killings. >> more than 50 people have been arrested, including the mayor of the state of iguala where the students went missing. >> a 37-year-old sent home from guantanamo bay. under the transfer agreement, he will spend one year as a prison rehab center. >> more help is now on it's way to west africa. ebola has infected more than 13,000 people and 4800 have already died. >> some international sources are also pledging big money to fight the disease. >> the president is asking for billions of dollars to fight the disease and this on top of

nearly half a billion dollars pledged already by the world bank. >> bale la takes another life in freetown. case declining in liberia. >> we will be safer from ebola once it is properly addressed at its source. >> the president asked for a $6.2 billion emergency fund to confront the disease. >> i am submitting a request to congress for funding to ensure that our doctors, scientists and troops have the resources they need to combat the spread of ebola in africa and to increase our preparedness for any future cases here at home. >> cases like dallas nurse amber vinson who contracted the disease after taking care of an ebola patient. vinson was criticized after she flew to dallas with a slight fever, even though the c.d.c. cleared her to fly.

>> i'm not careless. i'm not reckless, i'm an i.c. nurse. i embrace protocol and guidelines and structure, because in my day to day nursing, it is a martyr of life and death and i respect that fact. >> dozens of peel on her flight were later placed on the ebola watch list. another ebola survivor, dr. kent brantley is organizing an operation in north carolina to send relief supplies to west africa. he said more health care workers are needed to help the sick there. >> our sense of compassion needs to overcome our fear. >> the new ebola treatment center in liberia to treat health care workers will start accepting patients this weekend. more than 150 liberian medical workers have died from the disease. >> not dealing with what they were dealing with, but demonstrating their professionalism and their service and they paid the ultimate price. >> that treatment center was built by the u.s. military and

will be staffed by the u.s. public health service. the spanish further who came the first person outside west africa to contract ebola was released after spending 30 days in the hospital. >> pope francis suggests another big catholic church change. he seemed to indicate annulments should be free. a church official demanded thousands of dollars just oh to grant one and the pope fired him. >> there are new details in chicago this morning involving priest accused of child sex abuse. the internal files of 36 priests are going to be made public. >> we have more. advocates have long been advocating for more transparency, right? >> yes, and more recently, the pope pushing for that, as well. the documents released at part of a $130 million settlement with victims, we are learning the names of priests accused of abusing more than 350 children

since 1950. the file 15,000 pages give an inside look at decades of cover ups from official church records to personal letters signed by cardinal francis george where he he maintains his appreciation of the accused and offers them his prayers. lawyers for the victims say the files are proof that church officials were quietly transferring accused priests from parrish to parrish and keeping the crimes from police. >> in each case, these files reflect something much more than the stakes. they reflect a systematic on going decade long continuous pattern of conscious choices by top officials of the archdiocese. >> the archdiocese vicar general told the chicago tribune recently the new files reflect the church's commitment to accountability, though adding as

we look at the documents, it's a horrible thing and i don't think priests had any idea these other men were doing these turn things. none of the priests named are still in the and i have ministry. this comes as the cardinal is just two weeks away from retirement. >> 36 files going to be made public today. thank you very much. >> parts of the east coast will deal with a rain-soaked thursday and in some cases snow. >> she did say snow. >> i know, already. >> let's turn to nicole mitchell for all the answers. >> tomorrow is a one day reprieve as you deal with the rain, delaware covered in rain as well as other places, but pretty much the entire state is wet. there is a combination of a system coming through the great lakes and that other system that is the boundary extending to texas, they come together. on the backside of that, we call that wrap around moisture, because it wraps around the

system. that's where the old air is, so that's where we're going to see the snow. more into the day tomorrow. we could be talking significant to get from northern new york to pores of maine, 6-12, that's a foot. that's why we have different winter weather advisories, including the snow portions that could get the really significant stuff and colder air behind this. the 60's, 70's, 50's, they're going away. by the weekend, we could be talking more widespread 40's and 30's. >> i'm not even ready. thank you so much nicole. >> republican party in control of congress, but already facing problems, calendars from within, it's own members. we have how this political in-fighting could derail the party's future ambitions. >> public tips lead to a happy ending of the abduction of a woman from philadelphia. please bring her home days after she was snatched off the street. >> the personal tour of the

international space station as it flies through the sky at 18,000 miles an hour. that video and others captured by our sentencing around the world. stay with us.

>> time now for the videos captured by our citizen journalists. emergency crews in italy rescue people trapped by flooding. thousands of people were displaced. some were seeking safety on the roofs. >> this fire in saudi arabia, the aftermath of the blast that took place near riyadh. they were making repairs on the pipeline. >> nasa astronaut giving people a tour of his home in the heavens. that 90 second video, he traveled through the international space station. the vessel travels 450 miles around the earth, moving at 18,000 miles per hour. >> the first challenge for the republicans in the senate is picking the new majority leader, mitch mcexpected to get the post. some inside his own party like ted cruz around agreeing to go along yet, stopping short of

endorsing mcconnell for the >> mcconnell wins. >> how does cruz get punished? >> it's like herding cats, tougher to punish. once you start punishing him, you need him for the next vote. you need to get the 60 in the senate and if you keep isolating ted cruz, you don't get 60. >> speaker boehner had his struggles with the government shutdown with the tea party in the house, will cruz create the same problem in the senate? >> i think he will try to do that. what happens at the end of the day, you're going to have to bring democrats across, and have democrats and republicans work together. you control the agenda, there

will be a vote on the budget, on the appeal of obamacare, on economic issues for a change opposed to harry reid that didn't let anything come to the floor. >> do we trust mcconnell to do that? >> absolutely. >> mitch mcconnell no stranger to washington, he is a veteran. john boehner was a veteran of washington, as well. he could not reign in the tea party. what makes us think mcconnell. >> the senate operates differently. >> i have heard that said so many times before. >> what makes the difference? >> there's fewer of them, easier to manage and cut the deals. you want to bring this issue to the floor, let's work on it. you don't have to work through the committee process. it's easier to count fewer heads than more. there are ways to get this done and get it together. they're going to come from the far right, but they have to come together to get things

accomplished. >> you know actually, i would enjoy having some kentucky bourbon with mitch mcconnell employee i don't know what his preferred drink is. >> he goes from gear bourbon, i guess. is that what happens over time? >> you are saying he would get flak even for sitting down and having a drink. >> just for having a bourbon. >> he will get flak, but it's important for the process. one of the biggest problems presidents have and we talked about this on this set is he doesn't reach across the aisle historically. now he absolutely has to do it. it's on the president, but i've always said it's tools, too late. this man has two years left in the white house and it's not going to be a fun two years at all. >> thanks for being with us. >> a family in philadelphia rejoicing this morning. their 22-year-old daughter is back home after being kidnapped.

police say she didn't know the man who took her, but they identified him as dell vin barnes. her mother thanked police for tracking her daughter down. >> barnes is now in f.b.i. custody and being held on separate attempted murder charges in another case. >> the ray rice scandal in the nfl facing off again today. he's appealing his indefinite suspension from the league. the commissioner was the first witness called to the stand wednesday. he testified for more than two hours. rice says the nfl violated his due rights process. all of this after security video showed him punching his fiancee in an elevator. >> a stunning confession from alex rodriguez, telling federal agents in january that he did use performance enhancing drugs. for years, he denied using steroids and he also admitted to

buying the drugs for $12,000 a month for about two years from a fake doctor at bio genesis of america. rodriguez was given immunity for his behind closed doors confession. >> parts of the southern plains facing another heavy day of rain. nicole mitchell joins us with more. rain on the plains. >> it's been a gully washer as we say in parts of the south the last few days. we have the system in the great lakes merging with the northern edge of low pressure that brings the front down to the gulf. what that's doing is bringing in gulf moisture. this has set up a pattern with very wet weather for really around the third day of this. it has been more into northern texas, now southern the whole state can use the rain, but it's a lot all at once. we're still looking at before this winds down another one to two days of this and another two to four inches, especially the

southern portion of the state. it's led to flash flooding concerns across the country. texas, 10 to 15 degrees below average because of getting on the backside of the next weather system. >> when we talk about cooler in texas. >> 60's and 70's, versus 80's. >> thank you very much. >> immigration reform already on the minds of lawmakers, following the midterm election. we have more over the battle shaping up over the border. >> we're going to talk to a former palestinian negotiator about any potential damage to the peace process. >> america tonight getting an unprecedented look at the business of gun tourism.

chicago, making public the 36 files of priests. >> president obama and the republicans want to work together after the gop's election night rout but at the same time they are already trading barbs. the president says he's not going to compromise on immigration or the affordable care act. >> when the new congress convenes in january, immigration reform is he ca expected to be e issue taking center stage. newly emboldened republicans are ready for a fight. we are in dallas this morning. immigration isn't the only "i" word being thrown around. >> that's right. some imply if the president takes executive action that could be grounds for impeachment

but whether it reaches that point remains to be seen. >> what i'm not going to do is just wait. it's fair to say that i've shown a lot of patience and have tried to work on a bipartisan basis as much as possible. >> he's made the threat before. president obama vowing to go it alone on immigration reform by the end of the year. proponents of the path to citizenship say it's too long to wait. republicans say they'll fight it. >> it's like waving a red flag in front of a bull to say if you guys don't do what i want, i'm going to do it on my own. >> the president's plan includes reducing the number of the deportations, improving border security and granting work permits and business visas to some migrants already here. he's expected to extend a program deferring deportations for half a million children

brought here so young they only know life in america. for now, he's putting the ball in the gop's court. >> i think the best way if folks are serious about getting immigration reform done is going ahead and passing a bill and getting it to my desk and then the executive actions that i take go away. >> undocumented people by that the thousand us have crossed the border, trying to escape violence and find new lives and new jobs. state and local governments have been overwhelmed like in the immigration corridor of brooks county, texas where four sheriff's deputies patrol 400 square miles. latino votedders are angry at president obama for delaying decisions and angry at republicans for keeping immigration reform at bay. >> since democrats depend more on latino voters in battle grounds states, this new makeup

of congress has the president facing a dilemma. he can fulfill his promise to the immigrant community and use executive action and provoke more ire from the republicans or do nothing and risk losing more credibility with latino voters which is something the democrats could pay for dearly in the next presidential race. >> speaking of this new makeup that you just mentioned, it's a pretty interesting issue, because not all republicans are anti immigration reform, so really, what's the holdup? >> actually many people across the border say something needs to be done. in fact, the senator from texas, who easily won reelection is more moderate in his stance and signifies that he would sport legalizing the young people who were brought to the country i will leally as children. the question really is will members follow his lead or the

lead of ted cruz who is anti amnesty and a standard bearer for the tea party and has his own ambitions for 2016. >> live for us in dallas, thank you so much. >> the mid terms weren't just historic because of the republican wins, but for the cost. >> the 2016 race could cost more that. the candidates are already stockpiling cash. >> hillary clinton played a supporting role for congressional candidates through the mid terms but the prospect of a 2016 presidential bid was not far away. >> are we ready for hillary? >> behind the scenes, a different kind of campaign has been underway as outside groups backing potential 2016 contenders are raising cash. ready for hillary, a super pac or group that can raise or spend money but not donate directly to

a candidate has raised $10.3 million to date, according to the sunlight foundation, which tracks money in politics and counts this group as leading the pack. among republicans it cites one group supporting kentucky senator rand paul. a similar group for paul ryan raised $3.2 million. millions more were raised for texas senator ted cruz and florida senator marco rubio. that's some of the money with an eye toward 2016 raised by outside groups. it doesn't include potential candidates like new jersey governor chris christie, who's been visible on the campaign trail for the governor's association but doesn't have a political action committee. there's jeb bush, widely seen as having access to deep pocketed donors. there will be the money raised by the candidates themselves, all pointing to expectations of

an unprecedented price tag, beating the 2012 record set. to just be a top tier candidate at the start, one former federal election commissioner estimates they'll likely need to raise between $150 million and $150 million in the next year to be a contender. >> mary, good morning to you. what does this money to you about 2014 really tell us about 2016? >> it's just jaw dropping when you think about the numbers, right? one estimate that i heard for 2016 potentially could be between $6 billion and $7 billion all spent. one of the figures that really jumped out at me in talking to one former s.e.c. commissioner saying just to really be in the ballgame for the first year, to be a top tier candidate, you will likely have to raise

between $100 million to $150 million. that's the entry fee. >> when it comes to the president, we are talking about a job that pace $400,000. what's the difference between 2016 and 2012? >> the dynamic that we've seen in 2014, we've seen dark money, non-profit groups who don't to have disclose where this money is coming from, we've seen more money coming from these pools. another change is the supreme court last spring, the measure cuspen ruling lifted limits on individual donors to candidates. the center for responsible politics put this in perspective taking a look at the donors in this part midterm and tallied up, saying the five wealthiest donors who made the biggest contributions, i should say really equaled about 16 that would have maxed out earlier in their -- it was $1.9 million that they had contributed, to put that in perspective, they

tall lipped the cost for a congressional seattle at $1.2 million. it gives you a sense of what is going to be different in 2016, those individual donors also will have limits lifted for them. >> a lot riding and a lot of money. >> tune in for "real money." >> israel officials this morning say a hit-and-run that injured three soldiers in the west bank may have been an accident, but calling another van crash a terror attack. that van hit the crowd at jerusalem. one officer was killed, nearly a dozen people injured. police later shot and killed the driver. hamas is claiming responsibility. >> a former palestinian advisor now the program director at the project of on middle east democracy in washington, d.c. joins us. are these attacks coordinated and if so, are they connected to attacks earlier in october? >> it's unclear that they are

coordinated. it does seem like it could have been a lone wolf incident. we are seeing more because the situation is very sensitive. as we've seen in the way that seconds before it disrupted, it's -- these are the kinds of things so sensitive to palestinians that they are willing to take action by themselves and not wait for leaders to do something. it's a sign that they are frustrated with the leadership so go and do something themselves. >> hamas calling the attack an heroic running over operation, words condemned by israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. >> is there anyone who can reign in the rhetoric? >> it is the leaders have to reign in the rhetoric and part of the problem that escalated it was in fact the rhetoric. there was not only more frequent incidents of extremist right wing jewish groups trying to

access compound but actually public statements by israel officials that were actually quite provocative that indicated that the israeli's have a right to go there and that for palestinians is very alarming. >> multiple attacks, the stone throwing at the mosque, the israeli governments continuing with settlement construction. can there be peace in that region and is the region on the brink of a much wider conflict, a third intifada? >> to answer the last question first, i don't think it's on the brink of intifada. we will probably have more tensions. it is very tense and palestinians are very scared of the situation at mosque, but not a full fledged intifada.

i think the people are fatigued in that sense. what is required is leadership, on both sides to have the courage and wherewithal to tell the people that is needed and reach out to the other side to see what are things they can deliver to the other side while at the same time making sure that they -- >> not doing that -- >> sorry? >> i asked this question, because both leaders aren't doing that. tourism is the life blood of the region. should both sides refers to travel to the region altogether? >> there needs to be that pressure where the cost associated with the continuation of this in adequate or bad behavior. tourism, it's going to take a while for it to have, so you want to have something a little bit more consequential and at a

faster pace. there, i think the united states and europe, as well as the regional powers, jordan and egypt and the countries of the region, turkey also maybe, can't play a role in pressuring the sides to be more reasonable. >> thank you for being with us this morning. >> new threat to your privacy and this time not from the federal government. >> exposing technology that allows phone companies to actually snoop on you. >> the new cyber threat targeting apple users. experts say these attacks can be bad for your iphones and ipods. >> people all across the country have a lot to say about the outcome of the midterm elections. all of us have to give americans a reason to feel like the ground is stable beneath them. >> the man behind the quote is calling for more bipartisanship

in washington. stay tuned.

>> who said "all of us ever to give more americans a real to feel like the ground is stable beneath them"? >> our big quote is by president obama. >> gun rights were a major issue in those midterm elections. voters in washington state agreed to strengthen background checks for gun buyers. >> the state with some tough gun laws is one of the most popular places for gun tourism. it is paradise on earth, waikiki beach and honolulu where surfers catch a wave, couples find romance and some tourists fire assault weapons?

every day on streets in front of high end stores, travelers are handed flyers offering the chance to fire guns. at gun ranges located right next to luxury shopping malls and hotels. >> what do you offer these tourists? >> safe and fun shooting experiences. >> it's gun tourism and it's growing. last year, time magazine called hawaii ground zero for begun tourism. there are four private gun clubs within a half mile of with a kiki. according to the hawaii rifle association, an estimated nine out of 10 patrons are japanese. firing weapons they never could back home, because they would be breaking three separate japanese laws punishable by up to 10 years in prison. the problem is, these tourists

are out to have fun and credit six say profiteers are not strict with customers. >> do you have any concern that these are operating lawfully? >> i called and asked the age requirement and they said oh, we don't have one. i was shocked. >> adam joins us. hawaii is known to have some of the strictest gun laws in the entire country. are these gun ranges really operating within the law? >> that's exactly one of the things that we wanted to look into, were they operating within the law, because hawaii does have strict laws especially against felons shooting weapons and there are certain rules for minors. we found that the gun laws appeared to be operating within the purview of the law but once again, when we talk gun laws, there is always gray areas. >> how about the cultural

debate? i grew up in an area of the country where kids shotguns, an arizona gun instructor was killed after a 9-year-old was brought to a shooting range for fun. what's happening there? >> the bottom line here is according to the brady campaign, you have 18,000 kids hurt or killed by guns every year. what do you do about that? some folks say bringing your kids to a shooting range is good, teaching them how to responsible handle weapons and takes away the mystery of the gun. other people say that glorifies guns and creates more gun violence in our culture. we look at both sides of the debate in a special report. >> a lot going on in that debate. thanks for joining us live from baltimore this morning. you can watch adams full report on america tonight, that's tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern. >> a piece of malware targeting apple i phones and ipads. it comes through apps downloaded

through third party providers. it's not just hackers who want your personal information, two of the company's large evident cell phone carriers could be tracking you on line. >> they are using technology to snoop on smart phones. experts say there may be nothing we can do about it. >> if you own a cell phone like most people, chances are atna and verizon have been tracking web activity of more than 100 million easies. they're using so-called super cookies, a special code that keeps tabs on customers' browsing habits. >> the whole idea about learning more about you through these super cookies is on a benign side to help serve better ads to you. >> the carriers could trade that data in exchange for big advertising bucks, competing for a larger share of the multi-billion dollars on line ad industry, an industry dominated by the likes of google and facebook. according to the washington

post, verizon has been at it for years, since 2012. at&t's program is not quite as advanced and still in the testing phase, but all this is not going down well with privacy advocates with many crying foul. most troubling is that super cookies can't be deleted, even the savviest can't escape by browsing in private mode. verizon said it allows users to simply opt out and has taken steps to alert customers that they're being tracked. >> it's not easy to opt out. if you go through the process of opting out, you're still being tracked. the only difference is your information supposedly is not being shared with verizon partners. >> still, some critics contend it's against the law. the electronic frontier foundation taking that idea one step further, contemplating a lawsuit against the carriers. >> tim stevens is editor at large for sea net and joins us

live this morning. help me understand something for a minute here. verizon wireless has been tracking the customers for two years now and said it notified customers and gave them this option to opt out. what exactly then is the issue? >> the problem is that while you can opt out of verizon's advertising program, that doesn't stop them from inserting the super cookie into your on line data, so this idea that they're inserting into any transmission from your phone is still being asserted if you opt out. anybody else could be looking at this i.d. to track your on line movements. that's the big problem, not that they're inserting this i.d. but that you can't turn it off. if you're in a cough offensive shop and using a verizon connection, anybody else monitoring the on line connections would be able to see that i.d. inserted in your on

line traffic. you can imagine advertising which has ad's on websites. they can look at that i.d. and build a profile of you as you go from one website to the next, seeing where you're surfing and tie that back to you directly. >> that does not sound awesome. i'm sufficiently freaked out. what's the point here, what do phone providers do with this information? the basic idea is to track what you're up to on line so they can build a better profile and serve better ads, the more appropriate the ads, the more likely you are to click on them. if you do, they make more money. that's the whole idea. you ever to see banner ads anyway, they might as well be relevant to you. all these programs, you are opted in to by default. >>, a the legal issue here? do users have a legal right to privacy? are these mobile phone users violating that? >> that's definitely up to

debate. we haven't seen formal legal challenges yet. we may especially given the fact that you cannot opt out at verizon effectively. apple has something built in to the i.o.s. which inserts the i.d.'s in your on line traffic. that you can opt out of easily through the settings on your device. these programs are not too rare, i'm sorry to say. >> thank you for helping us to be more vigilant. >> first science, now real, the world has its first human cyborg. a camera surgery fitted to this man's skull designed to help him overcome color blindness, now each color he says has a sound, each picture a song. >> having internet connection in the skull allows me to receive any type of information from outside, so it can be a phone call, it can be music, it can be

anything. it's actually not only for color. people can call directly into my head and i can hear the phone call inside my head. >> he's had the device for about a decade. he said it undergoes upgrades although admits this version still lacks a password. >> an orphan baby sea olter enjoying her new home in the windy city at the shedd aquarium in chicago. it was found at a beach in colorado, weighing two pounds. she grew to six pounds in a couple weeks. she is learning to groom and feed herself. >> let's get another quick check of the forecast with our meteorologist nicole mitchell. >> a lot of active weather out there this morning. we still have everything from that heavier rain in texas and then the front that extends on that below often the northern end with the low on the great lakes will merge together and create an offshore low that's going to bring in a lot of wet weather over the next couple

days. in the meantime, the front has dropped temperatures significantly already, and then that next system will reinforce all that. temperatures in the 50's, midwest in the 40's, even as far south at texas below average, much warmer in this portion of the country, but what we're looking at is as this next area develops together, pulls through, the rotation on the backside of them is going to funnel more of that cold air in from canada. in addition to the moisture, causing areas of snow. temperatures, this is, i'm jumping forward to saturday here, so look at this, a lot more 40's across the northeast, portions of new england in the 30's. very wet day for the northeast today, but once again, that wrap around, that colder air into the day tomorrow means snow. portions of maine, northern maine where we expect more, could get close to a foot tomorrow. >> that's what i heard, a foot of snow. >> yes. >> nicole, thank you very much.

>> tomorrow morning on aljazeera america, we'll tell you about some unlikely advocates for smoking pot and we'll introduce you to a group of seniors fighting for the right to light up in california. all that's coming up tomorrow on aljazeera starting at 7:00 a.m. >> that is it for us here in new york. >> coming up from doha, the latest from israel where police are investigating two hit-and-runs that left more than a dozen injured and a police officer dead. >> our images of the day from the million mass marsh organized by anonymous, protests taking place around the world. >> the large effort turnout was in london where thousands protested against what they called political oppression. >> all a part of the annual guy fox celebrations there. have a good morning. we will see you back here tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m.

>> libya sinks deeper into crisis. a top court said it will dissolve the u.n. backed particlement with two rival administrations. >> also coming up, three israel soldiers were deliberately run over in the west bank as tension spills from the contentious religious site. >> holding billions of dollars meant for break away regions in the east. >> inside the ivory trade, the chinese gangs acced
