>> but also in west jerusalem, of course, this is where what police are describing as a hit and run terror attack took place at a liability rail station, and one person died. from his injuries in that attack which was cowerryed out by a palestinian man that was later shot dead. but all of this underscores the tension right across the city, we have seen israeli authorities put up cement blocks in front of these rail stations to prevent any further attacks. and we have also seen security increase right around occupies east jerusalem, that is significant, because the security there has been enormous now for the past several weeks. police from around the country have been brought to jerusalem, nor that
4:10 pm
very purpose, and now we are seeing more security, and that's par,ly why we have seen these continuing protests several palestinian neighborhoods. whatever the case, the knew of what again the police are describing as a hit and run terror attack, happens in the occupied west bank, in which three soldiers were wounded that also is a serious cause for country. many fearing the unrest we have seen in the occupied east of jerusalem is spilling over and that, of course, is a very serious cause can for alarm, not only for palestinian but also for the israelis as well. >> the strikes come just as president obama mans to ask for new authority to go after the levant. the progress and control of parts of syria and iraq has made the region

4:15 pm
patricia is here with more on this. >> saudi arabia cut can the sale of crude to the united states. a move that set oil prices to a three year low. and while that's great news for american con can supers it isn't so great for u.s. oil trackers. drawing a line in the shale. this week saudi arabia slashed the price of oil to the united states. a discount aimed to protecting it's share of the u.s. market and the influence it brings. >> is u.s. is still a pretty important market, and the saudis would like to keep it that way, for a lot of reasons. to maintain exports but also for political reasons. >> as the world's largest oil ex-porter, and opec swing producer, saudi arabia can sway prices by reigning in production or tapping it's bare capacity, to push more crude on to the market. but the historic pricing
4:16 pm
power is undertheft who have been flooding the market with new supply at a time when global demand is easing. thanks to shale, as the world's largest oil producer. but the kingdom still has a crucial edge in the battle to control global oil markets. namely it's ability to extract crude far more cheaply than it's shale rivals. the cost of finding and extracting oil averaging roughly 31-dollars in the united states, verses around 17 in the middle east. bouncing below eight dollars a barrel, u.s. producers are feeling the squeeze. >> 80-dollar oil is still okay for the lion's share of shale oil producers, once the price gets down to $70 or so, then there might be ago that drop out. >> and then global benchmark is trading below what the saudis need to meet their budget
4:17 pm
commitments, the kingdom's considerable cash reserve give it plenty of ammunition to wage an oil price war. >> of course, not all opec members have large reserves to bridge the gap. venezuela needs crude prices to average around 100 seth dollar as barrel to balance it's books. >> what about those nonopec producing countries. russia for example? >> russia is a great case in point. here is their economy, it's been squeezed by sanctions, cap can toll flight, and their budget presumes $104 per barrel, that is right now prices are way below that, so that will put even more pressure on russia's any. >> you know i am wondering how these lower ice prices might impact the debate that is going on in this country right now over approving the what is it the excel keystone pipeline. >> well, oil prices are
4:18 pm
definitely a knock. >> but these swings right now we are seeing this is down from a high in june, when it was trading well over $100 an barrel. so these are storm term, something like key can tone is basically presumed they take a look at longer term models. but if oil stays at these very very low levels it is definitely a knock. >> all right, good to see you, thank you. >> libya supreme maz dissolved the elected parliament making months of political instability worse. lawmakers and the u.s. special envoy to libya dismissed the order, but they may not have much of a choice here. rebel militias control the cap can toll and the oil wealth, victoria has our report. libya has been under the control of two governments each supported by armed groups enganged in daily fighting. now the supreme court is ruled on how to move
4:19 pm
forward. it's declared the u.n. backed parliament that was elected in june, and that it is now based is unconstitutional and should be dissolved. >> this ruling means that what is called the parliament that is held has become a thing of the past, and it's decisions in longer have any meaning. libyans have now started again on the road of institutions, institutions and the rule of law. >> in august, armed groups opposed to the government of prime minister took over the cap can toll. their own government was put in place led by omar. the leadership he pushed out was forced to movest wards. rival militias also formed two lewisly affiliated blocks, one battling the government, and seen as more moderate, the other backing the leaders in tripoli and seen as more conservative. >> violence and rivalries have deeply split people,
4:20 pm
the country has fallen into chaos, since the nato backed uprising that deposed leader muammar gaddafi. since the regime was forced out, brigades have defied the authority, governments have appeared weak, divided and unable to restore law and order. in fighting and attacks between rival groups have become common, some brigades even seized oil ports and deprived the government of the main source of revenue. so far, none of the rival groups fighting for power have shown any sign of reconciliation, and it is unlikely the decision will do anything to change that. al jazeera. >> in mexico, students have called for a 72 hour strike to protest 43 students. dend maaing the government do more to find them. protestors have taken over the attorney
4:21 pm
generals office. the hands of local police over a month ago. now the attorney general promised as soon as he was able to capture the mayor and his wife, who says are responsible for the attack that he would have answered that he would be able to tell the family members where their loved ones are but three days after those arrests, those answers have still not come that's why you see people there. also demanding a resignation of the president of mexico. this is another sign of how tensioned continued to build in the country. there are over 80le toos throughout mexico including major universities both public and private that have gone on strike.
4:22 pm
4:25 pm
the bloodiest battle of the civil war. the best estimate is that in three days of fighting, as many as 10,000 dies on the battlefield. the climax came at cemetery ridge when general lee sent his infin tri-against union positions in which became know as pickets charged. >> set the stage for me, what was it like? what did it feel like. >> on july 3rd, 1863, it was 87 degrees. you have all this intense heat, and all the dead plus in the fields were still wounded. some would be there for weeks. the massive painting that tells it's stories. >> one image stuck with him, a young union
4:26 pm

4:27 pm
studying him, his research let to a book about the her recycle young commander, who by all accounts included one in the new york times is the guy who just wouldn't give up. >> the painting really depicts alonso's final moments. >> final seconds, yes, when the artist portrays him here, he has received two wounds. one in his right shoulder, and then one in his groin. which was possibly a fatal wound. >> it -- he was bleeding profusely, he was probably going into shock. >> but he tells his men, we are going to keep going. >> and his first sergeant comes up to him and saysluth, leave, get out of here, and he says no i will stay here and fight it out, or die in the attempt. >> and that's joey chen reporting for us. the dow and the s&p 500 set new records today, thanks to upbeat economic

4:30 pm
republican leader ms. the house and senate outlined their agenda for the next two years. the plan includes simplifying the tax code, building the keystone excel pipeline, and repealing the affordable care act known as obama-care, but with a democrat in the white house, it is unclear how far they will get. joining us now is republican strategist o'brien murray.
4:31 pm
is any of that doable? >> definitely. >> oh, come on. >> this is jobs and taxes. was because they ran only campaigns to put more people to work, the lower taxes and put america back on the right track. >> do you believe that? >> 100%. >> i don't know to what expense you think rush limbaugh speaks for the republican party, but he said no, none of that is true, that republicans didn't win these elections to do anything other than stop the president. reaction. >> that's russia a talking head speaking that way. >> he is not an elected official, he is very powerful, he has a microphone, you have a t.v. set, so you both have a lot of power, but what really matters here is what the rotches and domes will come together to do. the excel pipeline, lower energy prices, more jobs, lower taxes means more money in the men and
4:32 pm
women that live in this country and pay the taxes. >> so we just had a report that said that the u.s. fracking boom is createdless of a demand for oil from opec. >> okay. >> do you even need the pipeline. >> certainly. because the more energy efficient we are, and we don't rely on outside country cans the better it is. if we can produce jobs in the united states, and it is tied to the pipeline, why wouldn't we do that. >> which jobs bill -- i have heard mitch mcconnell talk about this, i have heard speaker boehner talk about this. can you point to 1, i can't fact check you. >> give me an easy one. >> one is obama care, and granted the president will veto it, and granted in the senate they won't be able to override it. employers with more than 15 employees in the how they have to abide by the
4:33 pm
rules imagine lifting that and i will a small businessman i can hire ten more people. what is evidence that would happen? >> that that happened that employers would hire. >> err campaign i have worked on, you talk to every small employer, whether they own car dealerships or factories they can't add more employees. because the cost goes up. >> but this economy was losing a lot of jobs before there was such a thing as obama-care, it was called the recession. >> part of the recession is more jobs. how do you have more jobs to get out? additionally, people that work one job now work two and three, because they have to be below the hourly threshold. repealing the medical guys tax, would help as well.
4:34 pm
that it is blamed for exporting jobs and driving up the cost of devices. do you believe that. >> because it costs more than it should because of that tax. >> lower that tax and what happens. >> companies have more incentive means more jobs here. >> and provides revenue for the affordable care act. >> it is broken to begin with. >> my insurance rates keep going up, i work for myself when you talk about paying for the obama-care bill. >> if you repeal that tax, does it have to be made up somewhere. >> when you say -- >> does it have to be replaced with another revenue uhing generating device for the law? >> or find other ways to cut spending in the budget and find that money somewhere else. >> on immigration, the president has promised that he is going to do executive action, do what he can.
4:35 pm
we have heard from sara mcconnell, that if the president lifts his gun to do inning that he will poison the well. fighting for power the president does something, through executive action, all bets off. >> 100%. >> explain that to me. >> we talk abided if i say forget it, i don't care what you say i am doing it without you. >> i have been waiting for six years i have been waiting on something on immigration, one of my top agenda items something i wanted to get done, in the first term, i couldn't get it done, we have been waiting waiting talking about it, something that was passed and we was bipartisan support, and can't we move forward on that. >> but you can't get what you want. >> can we move forward on that. >> on the bipartisan bill. >> i have not seen that one going through. >> what we can do is pass other things and show progress. >> what do you want to start with. >> you mentioned excel pipeline. >> no, on immigration. >> we have border security, why don't we
4:36 pm
protect the border. >> you want to do border secure, you can't build a fence high enough or wide enough the issue is the president is not trusted enough to build it before. >> not trusted enough. >> so your question is do something about security, what about the 11 million undocumented? talk to me about that? >> i think the party has to come together and decide what they want to do. >> the party does. >> the republican party. >> well, they control both houses now. >> the republican party hasn't thought about it until this moment? >> they have been talking about it. >> your party has not thought about what to do with the 11 million who are undocumented. >> have they proposed anything. >> look at rubio tried doing, rubio -- and got pushed back. because the party hasn't come together. >> and left threat. >> and then the president said he would take his
4:37 pm
pen to to it. >> because nothing was happening. >> rubio offered something. >> but the president didn't do anything. >> so the president now says. >> he threatened the pen, then he put it back down, he got to be a very smart man, i enjoyed this will you come back. >> o'brian, he is a gop strategist terrific stuff, thank you. >> thank you. >> you know the arch diocese of chicago turning oother news now, coming clean about decades worth of sexual abuse allegations against it's priests. releases some 15,000 pages of secret documents. over the past 60 years. dianne joins us now live from chicago. dianne, good to see you, why did the average diocese decide to release these. >> pertains to 36 priests
4:38 pm
all who have left the ministry, and about half of them are dead, back in january, they released documents pertaining to 30 priests. now, this has been a very very painful part of the arch diocese history, the church estimated that there are about 350 victims of abuse. but one victim thinks there may have been even more victims. we can tell from the documents that thousands of children were at risk, how many were need leslie violated we'll never know, probably, because we certainly know it is too many. and it was unnecessary. now, in a statement today, cardinal francis george said we can't change the past, but we hope we can rebuild trust, child abuse is a crime and a sin, the arch chaos sis is concerned first and foremost with bringing healing to
4:39 pm
abused victims. and what could actually happen is after the release of these documents we could see more victims come forward, because that's what happened in january when those other documents were released. >> dianne, is there any indication that firs are going to try to prosecute these priests in. >> we have a call out to the state's attorney office, but that's probably unlikely because many of these cases or the lion's share, predate 1988, so it is beyond the statute of limitations. >> all right, in chicago, dianne, thank you, there are other stories making news across america today, inesse is sheer with a look at those. >> tony, the suspect in the abduction of a philadelphia woman appears via video in a court in baltimore today. he will be extradited to virginia. 22-year-old left a hospital in maryland with her family last night, hours after escaping her captor. surveillance video shows
4:40 pm
her being dragged away on the streets sunday night. it was a long three days for her family. >> this is great, i study cases like this, the first 24 hours is the most crucial hours. and then it gets slim, but when you have god on your side, ain't no telling what can happen. >> a long rap sheet and faces charges in virginia for attempted murder and rape. a gruesome story where a man is accused of killing his girlfriend and posting pictures of her body online. 200-miles from the crime scene in washington state. in addition to the photos police say he wrote about the details of the murder, and said he wanted police to kill him. texas governor rick perry made his first court appearance today on felony charges of abusing his power. the attorney asked the judge to dismiss the
4:41 pm
charges on technical issues. and it seems easy enough, for some, four basketball shots in 30 seconds at drake university, and win a truck. >> piece of cake. three, two, one. shoot. oh no, well the first shot the layup is easiest, yet, it took him three tries to do it, he hit the foul shot. but he needed four attempts on the three pointer. >> oh. >> just as the time ran out, he buried the half court shot, now he is the owner of a new truck, and he is also the campus hero. >> yeah. >> i bet. >> getting mobs they are breaking limbs. >> yeah, get off of me. >> all right, appreciate it. thank you. >> so across the country, there are places where
4:42 pm
children can pick up an automatic gun and open fire. advocate cans have been raising a lot of questions about that. at a gun range, that happened back in august, but many people make their business out of turning the he that will weapon into a leisure activity adam may has been reporting on the gun tourish for us, how does this work. >> yeah, tony, gun tourism is a rather new term, and for some it is highly controversial. in our investigation, we found even in states that have some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, the restrictions are very few, and very often not enforced. it is paradise on earth, where surfers catch a wave, coupling find romance, and some
4:43 pm
tourists fire assault weapons. every day on streets in front of high end stores travelers are headed fliers 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 experience. >> it is gun tourism and it is grows. there are now uh four private gun club uhs within half a mile of why key key. an estimated nine out of 10 at these shooting ranges are japanese. firing weapons they never cult back home. because they would be breaking three separate japanese laws.
4:44 pm
the problem is these tourists are out to have fun, and critics say gun range pup tiers are not too eager. >> do you have concerns that these are operating lawfully? >> well, i called one, and asked them, what was the age requirements, and they said oh, we don't have one. and i was shocked. that's what we are talking about here, when we were investigating a story, talking to some of these gun safety advocates, they said that there's what you might call a gun range loophole, where the regulations and the restrictions on this are very very minimal. >> so share with us a bit more the conversations they are having about these safety issues. >> these gun tourism power are p power supplying uhl all over the place, and there's a lot of them in las vegas, and usually they cater to the japanese market,
4:45 pm
well, in fact, now you are seeing americans doing this, you are seeing baccalaureate parties in las vegas, and it does open the debate about kids and guns and when should we expose kids to guns. >> adam may, good to see you again, thank you. and you can see the rest of his story on gun tourism on america tonight. that's 9:00 p.m. eastern. right here on al jazeera america. texas implemented strict new voter i.d. laws. the fears they prevent thousands of minorities from voting, many have been unfounded. >> >>
4:47 pm
4:48 pm
minorities from voting, but a hotline for questions only fielded about 500 calls tuesday, and there are no reports of widespread problems and joining us now is tom bartlett, he is the reporter who wrote about this, for al jazeera america, and chris field, she is with the lawyers committee for civil rights underlaw, which works to set up a hotline to catch voter spares let me start with your first, were your surprised at the number of calls made to those hotlines? there was a narrative that suggest thoses those hotlines may be overwhelmed with called? >> there was and some of the people taking calls they were surprised they didn't get more complaints and concerns. that doesn't mean that a lot of people didn't have problems it just means they didn't call the hotlines. >> what happened here? was it a situation where this story was maybe a bit overblown? was it a situation where
4:49 pm
people who might have been impacted by the new law didn't even tore show up or complain about it at all? >> well, i am not sure where you are getting your numbers because we did get a lot of calls. hop line by texas voters who weren't allowed to vote because of the voter i.d. law, i think the real question is how many people didn't show up because they didn't have the right i.d. yeah, i offered that as a possibility here, but uh tell me more about the number of called you fields, what is a better number, and what were the complaints. >> sure. we got over 3,000 calls from texas voters about a quarter of those were about voter i.d., how do i get the free i.d., and people telling us that they were turned away because they didn't have the i.d. needed. so i think it is really preliminary to say that people weren't turned away because of the voter i.d. law, and we did hear reports i remember
4:50 pm
hearing about a woman who is blind who didn't everybody know about the texas voter i.d. law, we got a lot of calls during the early vote about people not knowing about the voter i.d. law, and in the federal case that struck down the voter i.d. law, found that texas has done a very bad job of educations people. and woe heard that time and time again. >> what is your reporting on this? whether it is work you did on it or what you have been hearing is there any evidence to suggest that there were people who were turned away at the polls because they didn't have one of seven pieces of i.d. that would have been acceptable? >> sure. and that definitely was the case, there and there were people that were turned away, getting hard numbers is tricky. we don't know how many just didn't show up, they aren't necessarily keeping track of who turned away when they
4:51 pm
didn't have the right i.d., there were about 50 people who filed traditional ball t los that was fewer than they expected. we don't know how many people turns away and how many just didn't show up you know, chris, is there a hidden problem here that we aren't seeing for the hundreds who might have called these hotlines and you may have alluded to it just moments ago, what is your thinking here? potentially there are thousands of people who just didn't tore show up or speak up? sure, we got 3,000 calls how many didn't we get about people who were turned away? how many people were given a provisional ballot, were told how can you come back and show the i.d. and so that ballot is counted, so i think there's -- there's a lot of information that we still need to gather in the next few days about people in texas,
4:52 pm
and this wasn't just texas, we got called from voters in pennsylvania. and wisconsin and states that don't have strict photo i.d. requirements, missouri, and okay can okay as well so become this has become a nation l national debate, poll workers are often misinformed and think that voter i.d. is requires across the board, so you know i think we have to think about more analysis in the coming days about exactly what was the impact of voter i.d.? >> well, tom, chris asying there were at least 3,000 people that called the hotlines and a number of others that just didn't potter to show up, do you think what whatever the numbers are, in you are talking about one or three thought uh, that didn't feel they could exercise the franchise, that validates the argument that was made here by these groups about these
4:53 pm
laws being a tool of suppression. >> no matter how many people -- if only one person is turned away that's a problem. with ehave a case where we have a federal judge says this is a discriminatory rule, saying this is evidence of discrimination, and liking it -- this is also a solution in search of a problem, why voter fraud has been documented not to be much of a problem so yeah, those are good questions to ask, and i think people will continue to ask them. >> tom, appreciate it your time, he is a reporter who wrote about this for al jazeera america. and chris fields is with the lawyers committee for civil rights under law, thank you both, appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> you know you would think a 90-year-old florida man spending his time feeding the homeless would be applauded for his efforts instead he finds himself facing criminal charges.
