original series from the begining. >> experiencing it has changed me completely. >> follow the journey as six americans face the immigration debate up close and personal. >> it's heartbreaking. >> i'm the enemy. >> i'm really pissed off. >> all these people shouldn't be dead. >> it's insane. >> the borderland thanksgiving day marathon starts november 27th, 9:00 eastern. on al jazeera america.

>> good afternoon, new reports today that president obama will announce a massive overhaul of immigration system as soon as next week. this comes despite loud opposition from republicans. the odder her protect as many as 5 million from become deported and it will give many of them work permits. lisa, tell us more about the plan and the white house's response. >> well, what the plan supposedly entails is a work permit to adult whose are here illegally, but have children who are american citizens or who

are in the country legally. so in that case, it would be a move to ensure that families aren't broken apart. that could effect up to two to 4 million americans according to the new york sometimes depending on how broadly those work permits are permitted. now, the president may also college entrance exam tend some action he did earlier, where he allowed those young adults who are brought in this country illegally as young young children, babies, really, to stay in this country. the new york sometimes is reported that the president will make it clear that anyone who commits crimes, or came to the country more recently, would still face deeper tax proceedings. now, a senior administration is telling us that the president has not made final decisions on which way he is going to go, exactly what action he will take, and is somewhat discounting these reports. they are saying that he is still debating his options they also say no timeframe for action has been set. although we know, michael

that the president has indicated he will act before the end of the year. if congress does not. >> at least the democrats spoke out forcefully today. well, about 150 democrats in the house are going to send a letter to president obama. they are going to call for bold and broad action on immigration. 200,000 uh, 300,000, 400,000 deportation as year, these statistics represent people, people disappearing from churching, from parent teacher conferences, why, because congress is doing nothing to make it stop, or any progress based on reality and common sense. >> john boehner has said

if the president asks alone he will be playing with matches. today the democrats insist they will have the president's back. >> and there was house leadership, that indicated mr. president, if you play with fire, you will be burned. my message is back to that house leadership, that we will circle the president on fire, and we will be on fire for rightness. and justice. saying if the president does act, it will create a constitutional crisis. the house minority leader has said mr. president use your power, insisting he does have the authority issue an executive action on immigration.

ma exactly can he do. >> well, he does feel he has authority. p democrats for example, went so far as to say what president lincoln did the emancipation pack la makes. and so they say that this following in the vein of things that both republican and democratic presidents have done. few they insist he has authority to decide how customs and border immigration officials will enforce laws and he has the authority to do this on his own. the president has said, michael, look, if congress doesn't like what i do, they can always take action or pass an immigration bill, and it will supersede what i do. but he insists that he act alone, and he won't

wait. >> lisa stark, reporting live, thank you. he is one of only three republicans to khorasan son the house reform bill. we appreciate the time this afternoon. you heard the back and forth, from your side, al the democratic side about what should happen here. if congress can't get something done, should they act alone. >> no. i think that we need certainty for the country, we can certainly be looking at a long term reform, our system is broken, it is multigenerational now. just doing an executive odder they are will only last through this president. just creates another bigger problem, we need a long term solution. >> senator harry reid said that he wants the president to wait on taking any executive action on immigration to you in your mind support this wait because it gets

passed other legislation issues that the congress will have to address? well, we have a lot of issues that need to come up, they all come down to trust in this president. it is hard to pass legislation of any time without being able to trust the commander in chief on whether he will implement the will of congress so that become as challenge. >> you, of course, represent district in california that state producing more revenue than any state in the union, and a good reason for that is migrant labor. is that why you are only one of three republicans to support the house reform bill. >> no. this is a personal issue to me and my family. certainly it is an issue that impacts families in our community. it effects public safety, so i am looking at broad reasons for supporting a top to bottom reform.

we have to secure our border. we have had over 50,000 immigrants this year. so it is time to take up that. but uh then we have to go much further in having a guest worker program, addressing all the kids that have gone to school, and graduating. there is a long term problem that we have to fix. >> with that being said, what do you say to your fellow republicans that don't support this? >> we have to have a full debate. we have done that with the border security built, now it is time to talk about the various components. one of those is my enlist act p if you graduated from our high school and if you know of no other country to call home, shouldn't you will be able to serve in our military? that's a very similar

bill, that hopefully get support on. >> because there's so many layers to this issue, do you see the reform coming in one huge bill, or do you think lit be piece bill? >> i think there will be a number of bills coming up. but passing a comprehensive package even though i support it, is going to be a challenge to get the entire house to support something that may have issues with the president actually implementing. if the president and pick and choose, which parts he implements and doesn't, it creates a challenge and for trust of the american public. >> obviously, immigration not the only issue, and of course the republican party swept the midterm elections. what in your mind are the issues that will receive bipartisan support in the

house? well, certainly, during the lame duck we will be addressing a number of issues. the spending bill will be the biggest issue, we have to continue to fund the next several months of government. some energy independents bills, some ways to get people back to work. and the american people will definitely be watching thank you for joining us this afternoon. >> thank you for having me. >> face tough questions from the armed services committee today. jamie mcintyre has benjaminning that story, did we get any answered out of the secretary today in terms oif strategy? >> well, there were answers. i am not sure they

satisfied the arm ad services committee. they bloat asked for nor time, more patients and of course more money. >> after the united states spent more than ten years and $25 billion training and equipping house services that fled. is how will another $1.63000 billion u.s. advisors make any difference. >> i am asking what is the difference in the men of the iraqi men that we have in the forces there, in making the difference, not running away from the battle. >> is answer is that the new iraqi government will have to prove to it's troops it is worthy of defending. >> look, you don't think we would be out there swinging and fighting if we didn't have the support of the congress

and the kind of support. so we can't hold them to a higher standard than just simply didn't exist hagel points to the house championing. who sat three dozen iraqi commander whose were widely seen as income tent, corrupt, cronies. men and women will not fight if they don't have confident in their leaders. >> and at every step forward or back, we will debate about the size of the step. >> they both again ruled out any combat which the

chairman dismissively called a minimalist strategy. >> how can you execute the mission, to destroy isil, when some of your best options are taken off the table? the pentagon says it's strategy is iraq first, and then syria. where it not only wants to defeat isil but also generate a settlement that will remove syrian president from power, all while arming and training the so called moderate opposition something the pentagon admitted is still more than a year away. >> while the politician were talking the actual battle itself, against isil is still happening, what is the latest? the latest is that the islamic state issue add defiant statement, accompanied by an audio recording that they say is from their leader.

when was rumored to have been injured or killed over the weekend. the u.s. officials have not verified the authenticity of the all owe. awe though it does make events it's the typical kind of statement from the islamic state, it says america is losing it says americans allies are terrified and weak. and they vow to fight on forever, saying if only one soldier remains they will not abandon the fighting. so the audio is still being analyzed but at the moment it would seem to indicate that al baghdaddy survived that air strike. >> defeating isil will require a lot of patience, as well as a lot of money. the white house has asked congress to set aside

$5.6 billion. 5 billion of that would go to the pent gone. meanwhile, huge amounts of catch to fay for the campaigning. al jazeera reports. >> our guide, a 22-year-old female smuggler. >> 24 rah discreet hotel room, we see how isil recruits. our recruiter is a 27-year-old syrian i.t. expert, his tools keyboard, and mouse. supposed to facebook and twitter.

isil took over factories. they needed civilians that weren't connected to them. >> three people all of whom demanded anonymity show how the management, organization, and wealth are all depend on foot soldiers whose main motivation was income. they worked for a self-declared islamic state, that may claim to fly the flag of islam, but as it's heart is corporate. and nick, you know, i think to the average american viewer when they think of isil, they don't think of them being organized like an corporation, but that is the case, how were they able to assemble and raise such sums of money. >> well, the assembly has been going on for a decade. this was the islamic state of iraq, ten years ago when the u.s. were fighting them, so they have had a lot of experience in the last

decade, organizing themselves not only how but also below, that, and below that, all these amirs with their all fighters very isolated they don't even know who is giving them orders. it is very rich, as you say, some 1,000,002,000,000-dollar as day mostly from smuggling of oil. and a lot of that oil and gas goes across and border into turkey. also much of it sold inside of syria. and that goes to show just how difficult it will be to cup bidding seat this group. how rich they are, those riches do not come from outside sources they have the means to raise the money. what about the attacks. have they had an effect

whatsoever on the ability to raise money? >> >> not a lot. frankly, and there's a lot of criticism of those air strikes as being ineffective, knottiness against the ability to raise money, but against isil period. we have seen a huge focus on the town right on the boarder, more than 220 in that town, that's a month in 36 hours the asaad regime, launched double that number just in 36 hours in a place called aleppo, as the u.s. has been focused on little towns the asaad regime has been pummeling the allies. the al quaida group has been pummeling those same people, and the u.s. allies say they are losing. on three fronts. isil against the

government and against al quaida links group. they say they need a lot more training and that training isn't going to start for at least six months. >> nor more from nick's full report on america tonight, be sure to tune in tonight, 9:00 o'clock eastern, right here on al jazeera america. meanwhile, back in washington, congress has several important bills to take care of in this lame duck session and some of them could yield huge battles. the controversial keystone excel pipeline the late addition to this pipeline, when can we expect votes in the house, and do we know what the outcome may be? well, michael the process starts in the house today, expect a vote tomorrow. and it will be easy passage, in the republican led house that's despite some push back from house democrats that say this is happening too quickly,

there's no companies for amendments. but they don't hold the power, now dome domes are still in power for at least a few more weeks and whether or not keystone can pass there is a question mark. it is likely to come up to the senate on tuesday, it needs 60 to pass, all republicans are onboard, but it would take 15 to join with them. now, senator mitch mcconnell, the seen to be majority leader said today that this vote coming up even talks about keystone right now is a result of the midterm election. >> let me tell you who did get the message,s that senate democrats i think that's why you have seen the current domic majority and the senate have an epiphany and decide to allow a vote they have been blocking. this is really because of one person, a democrat who is in the fight of

her political life. she is trying to show constituents back home in louisiana, that she is pro keystone pipeline. energy and jobs are a huge issue there in louisiana. were there any surprises from those vote votes in. >> status quo, we will see mitch mcconnell be the majority leader. there was some dissension, against harry reid, one of those who said she voted against him, mary landrieu, this is done by secret ballot, so we only know if senators tell us, someone else that pushed back, is a clair mckaskel. she says that it was pretty clear that voters want a change, and that things have to be shaken

up in the democratic caucus. so reid will come back as leadership. that's a new voice in democratic leadership, and that's a significant addition. >> reporting live from washington. we are seeing the first pictures sent back after that historic landing but a problem with batteries may jeopardize the mission. >> plus, thicks turn loud and unruly as a town debates banning the sale of all tobacco. fires on the airplane... >> they're short changing the engineering process... >> from engineering to

the factory floor... al jazeera investigates broken dreams: the boing 787 only on al jazera america

shadow of a cliff. the that can be a problem especially when it comes to solar power. the good news it sent back it's first photo today. jake, how big of a problem is this for the mission? >> well, michael, what we learned this morning is that scientists revealed they knew they were in trouble when they discovered the lander had not just made comment and stayed there, it had bounced off. they determined is that the surface which they expected to be a little bit like landing in a snow covered plane was much more respondsy, almost like a trampoline, and so the lander when it first made contact bounced off, and bounced a full kilometer away from the original landing site.

ms. the landing site. we hit this within lest than 100-meter from the predicted point. and then we did this huge jump. something like this, and the concept data imply that -- and it's a bit depending on what properties you assume. some were in this area. >> so the problem here is that the two of the landing legs are in contact but one is up in the air. so right now they are just frightening about can they get it repositions. they have various instruments that could scoot it over, they could move the arms but right now they are trying to figure out how much should they try to move this thing, before -- what risk should they take in trying to scoot this over. >> let's say they get it reoriented.

all three lecks down, everything is there, what will this lander tell us about the comment in the coming days and how valuable is this information? >> wilt, right now the scientists are working backwards from the least risky to the most rickie. the ones where you don't have to make contact with the ground, so right now they are looking at things like the x-ray analysis of the structure they can do a lot of things without touching the ground, but as the solar power dies. this is a race against time, as it begins to die, it is going to do that in the next 48 hours they are then going to do riskier and riskier news. that's really what this thing is there to do, they want to grab a piece of it. so the next 48 hours will be a critical time. >> a doctor arrested in

very interesting media briefing. and the jordanian daneian foreign minister. there was a lot of u.p.s. proses a lot of commitments but very few details. >> in fact, the u.s. secretary of state saying that actions will speak louder than words but he wouldn't say what those actions were. however, what is interesting in the last few minutes alone, it's been announced bety israeli police that some of these very key issues among palestinians have changed. so we are now hearing there's any age restrictions on palestinians that want to pray at the compound. there has been pretty strict restrictions sometimes people over the age of 60 are the only ones allowed to pray there. we also have heard from the concrete blocks have been removed from some of the streets.

as you can imagine having your street blocked off, is very problematic. we are already see very tangible results. we are see willing it's enough. >> i wound fresh the israeli side, are they -- have any expectations for anything progressive on their side of this issue? >> it's a i have complicated issue for the israelis. you have to keep in mind, in israel it is a parliamentary system, which means the way that he is prime minister and stays in power is through coalitions with other parties. now his coalition is made up of far right groups. to get greater access for uses to pray inside that mosque.

now, as part of the security agreement, with jordan which is decades old, uses are not allowed to pray inside the compound, only muslims are. this is a very con ten, issue uh, it is a very motive issue, and it is one that has led to a lot of violence. so he certainly had to take a lot of political considerations but it does appear that he is very serious at reducing the tension which is have turned deadly so we will have to see what happens. >> a delicate situation to say the at least. >> a doctor in india is under arrest after 13 women died while undergoing sterilization. more than 4.5 million women were sterilized in 2012, one of a third of the women are sterilized compares to 1% of men.

the numbers reflect a lack of education. one in five don't even know their options. >> nearly all of these women have been sterilized. they had it done under a family planning campaign. before, they used to come to her to register for sterilization, but not any more. the women say they don't want to go to the government camps even if they are four children instead of two. i have registered four women from my village, one has died and three are in hospital. they have being referred from one hospital to the next who will trust me now? >> some that were registers for sterilization are having second thoughts. i suffered complications in both of my pregnancies, but this has

scared me so much i don't think it will gone it done. >> the conditions of those ranging from mile to critical, be uh the complications and even death from sterilization, aren't uncommon. government records show that between 2009 and 2012, sterilization resulted in the death of 568 women. some health advocates argue that the number is much higher. with health officials arguing that the surgeries are safe and successful. >> a police investigation has led to some officers being suspended, the investigation is now focusing not on the sterilization program itself, but on whether the medicine given afterwards was tainted. we have sent the sample of medicines and we will initiate action once the report comes back. we have already sealed the medicine shops. that doesn't matter much to rupe.

whose why is one of the women who died. his family and neighbors mourn, he is left with three children and questions what went wrong. >> they are lying. something is wrong, either with the medicines or with the injection. the doctor has been care less. >> whatever the cause, people in this part of the country are rethinking the benefits of sterilization. worried the risk of injury or death outstripped the benefits. >> obviously overpopulation can be a concern. when does this start? do they allow women to have a certain number of children before they intervene. >> often once women have had two children, there is some pressure, some

targeting of these women to have a sterilization operation. >> now that this particular doctor has been arrested, do you think this is a food sign in going forward that the government is working on some real reforms? >> having him arrested is one step, but many broader reformed are needed. the retomorrows cannot just stop with this one case. they need to mike broader reforms to make sure this doesn't happen across the country. >> now, the central government is not necessarily behind these sterilization efforts but correct me if i'm wrong, they don't get in the way either. >> we have found that state governments are still using these targets. they say salary cuts or dismissals if they don't bring a certain number to

be sterilized each month. >> so there is a lot of pressure? >> there is, and the pressure is on the wrong thing, it is on these numbers instead of giving women information about their full range of options and other contraception methed thats. >> with that being said, what changes in your mind and in human rights watch mind, needs to happen here? >> first of all, the focus on targets should be completely eliminated. second of all, women and men need information about reproductive rights. and they need access to quality services. >> we talked about the numbers relative to sterile say in india, and the discrepancy between women and men. and a huge issue, is that the underlying issue as it relates to gender

issues. >> gender equality plays an important role, and it is really key that men and women are part of the discussion about family planning. that it is a joint decision, and that issues about male method of contraception are discussed as well. >> lack of education is a big issue? >> it is. that's partly driven by what the government is focusing on. they are responsible for providing this information, so that differentiations can be made. >> speaking of the government, they have a new president, he established himself as a reformative, do you have any confident that they will adopt any real changes? i think that's the big question, and it would be a test of his administration. is this going to be a one time incident? or are we going to see it again? the onus is upon them to make real changes so we don't have another tragedy like this.

>> leadership starts from the top, thank you for joining us today. >> thank you. >> there's rising unease in ferguson missouri as a grand jury weighs charged against a police officer who shot and killed teenager michael brown. today jurors heard from dr. michael bayton, he is the forensic pathology hired by the brown family to conduct a private autopsy. juneing us now live from ferguson missouri, how are the residents preparing for this grand jury decision whenever it is happened down. >> well, michael that's the big question, is when will it be handed down, and that's something the residents are keeping close tabs on. over the last few days we have been here, businesses have been boarding up shops in preparation for any potential unrest. police also came out this week, and governor jay nicholson talking about the plans they have in place to deal with any potential unrest and also

to deal with protestors. we also heard from the attorneys from michael brown's parent whose talking about some of those same issues also saying they were calling for calm, and that protestors would be vigilant, but peaceful. take a listen. >> there's a great concern that because of this secret proceeding that people will not be so accepting of whatever decision the gran jury makes. >> michael, you talk to people here, and there's a lot of doubt when it comes to whether he will face charges. but still, there's a lot of unpredictability. protestors are meeting, they have been talking to community leaders. they are holding meetings to decide how to engage in protest, when in fact that decision comes out. it is very cold, as you

can tell, the temperature has dropped. there's a question about how that may impact, if those protestors comment out in the next few days. >> there's been a lot of speculation on when the grand jury will announce share decision. do we have an idea of with enthat could be. >> you are right, there a's been a lot of speculation. there's indication from michael brown's parents and attorneys that he may be close to the end of that witness list, we don't know that officially. the prosecutors saying they could have a decision coming mid to late knot, but again, we have to remember, the official deadline isn't until early january, so at this point it is anybody's guess. >> reporting live from ferguson missouri. >> an alarming new report, says police in new orleans failed to thoroughly investigate hundreds of sex crimes cases.

police followed up on just 14% of them. jonathan, tell us more about what was revealed in this report? >> and found that in many cases hundreds of cases were simply ignored. 40 they looked at five particular detectives in the sex crimeses unit, so we are talking about hundreds of people who called the new orleans police department, says they had possibly, or had been assaulted and these crimes or these alleged crimes never even followed up on. in cases where there was evidence, the report found that it was not sent to the lab laboratory. perhaps one of the more surprising findings involve add case with a two-year-old, that went to the emergency room, suspected of being

sexually assaulted. they found she did have an std, but for some reason the officer closed the case. because she personally felt that similar rape should not be a crime. >> they offend all of the good police officers that work diligently to enforce the law. >> i am committed to getting this right. the entire team is, and we are continuing to rebuild the trust between the department and the community. >> and that was new orleans police chief he has opt been on the job for two months so this is the big black eye for the department under his watch. but again, he mentioned a word there, trust, there has been a trust issue with the police department, and citizens for a long time, and this certainly does not help

all of these officers here were veteran officers, 15 years or more, so certainly a lot of issues. this is alarming allegations in regard to those officers. i wonder what is happening to the officers who are under investigation currently? well, this report michael was just released owed, so right now we that you know the officers are still with the department, but they have been reassigned so they are no longner an investigative role, we are told they are in a patrol division, but we do know there is an internal investigation. it could result in those officers losing their job, and possibly criminal charges. >> jonathan martin reporting live from new orleans. well, in new york city prosecutor it cooer pledging up to $35 million to help

investigate a backlog of rape cases nationwide. manhattan district attorney says the money will go towards testing the so called rape kits. experts say hundreding of thousands of those kits have yet to be examined. it costs up to $1,000 to process just one of them. for a look at other news. >> the man accused of kidnapping a philadelphia woman was formalin dated today, now facing federal kidnapping charges he is accused of snatching off the street earlier this month. police rescue uhed her and arrested him three days later. marriage licenses are being issued in k cost for same is ex-couples. a decision by the u.s. supreme court yesterday opened the door to gay marriages in the state. it is still unclear for the ruling applied only to a few counties or the entire state. an attempt to ban the sale of all tobacco in massachusets led to a heated meeting. it got so heated it had

to be called off over fears of a riot. our main focus on developing these is the children in our community. >> the agenda at this west mincer town meeting was to talk about the three person board of health proposal to ban tobacco sales within the town limits. a move that would put a serious dent in sales. >> the meeting started with people taking turns voicing their opinions civilly, while i do support the goal and the effort to discouraging the use of tobacco products i cannot support a radical approach. >> but the tone quickly became not so civil. >> you people make me sick. >> a tobacco ban would be the first of it's kind in the united states, and starsnvoaked the stars and stripes to voice their displeasure. >> this meeting with all these cameras here is a mockery of this town in front of the united states of america. >> from there, things got

unruly. >> all right, this hearing is closed. >> it was done. >> it was getting too unruly, and people were being disrespectful and not following the ground rules. >> when you start taking away rights to consume legal products they will get fired up. not everyone in the crowd thought she was wrong. >> this same exact culture was around back 15 years ago when we started looking at prohibiting smoking in restaurants and bars. that people should not dictate a town of 7,000. >> the council says lit vote before the end of the year. >> and two kayakers catching some great video off the coast of florida take a look at this, they sa hammer head shark followed them for two miles last week. maybe it was interesting in the fish they caught. in any case, the shark

bumps into the kayak a few times and then swam away. that really makes you want to go kayak. >> no, it doesn't. what's the opposite of that. >> thank you. >> still ahead, unconstitutional that's the word from a california judge about the treatment of the mentally ill in the state's prisons. what al jazeera found after a year long investigation.

real reporting that brings you the world. >> this is a pretty dangerous trip. >> security in beirut is tight. >> more reporters. >> they don't have the resources to take the fight to al shabaab. >> more bureaus, more stories. >> this is where the typhoon came ashore. giving you a real global perspective like no other can. >> al jazeera, nairobi. >> on the turkey-syria border. >> venezuela. >> beijing. >> kabul. >> hong kong. >> ukraine. >> the artic. real reporting from around the world. this is what we do. al jazeera america. for more than a year. al jazeera has been following allegations of mistreatment of mentally ill inmates. since then, california's prisons have try today reform their perhaps. but a new report found those changes have not reached the local level.

michael, los angeles county has the largest prison system in the country. with more than 20% of the inmates being considered mentally ill. in june the department of justice issue add very critical report, saying the treatment of mentally ill inmates is unconstitutional, siting unsanitary, overcrowded and noisy places in simply that the care that these mentally ill inmates have been receiving is inadequate. the american civil liberties union has also been very chriss call of how the inmates are treated. >> it is incredibly expensive to incourse rate someone with mental illness. they tend to get worse, and not better so you are given an f as a public policy approach. >> that public policy well we might start to

see some changes for the better. at the urging of l.a. county district attorney and others yesterday wednesday the county board of supervisors in los angeles voted to approve funding for a number of programs designed to help the treatment of mentally ill those include opening three new 24 hour psychiatric units. along with created teams that would work directly with law enforcement. the aclu says that's an important first step. >> i think we are seeing much more attention on it, that it isn't good for anybody. and that there's -- i think i am hope. there's a focus on these problems and there will also be a move towards solutions the new programs will be paid for in part by new grant money at a cost of around $109 million, that might sound like a great deal of money, but the aclu

and others says the cost of doing nothing is far greater. >> jennifer, you have been on this story from the beginning, correct me if i'm wrong, it isn't just issues of treatment you mentioned los angeles county specifically, but also at the state level? that's right. we have been reporting extensively on the issue of how mentally ill inmates are treated and while looking into claims that guards within the system use excessive force, and mistreatment mentally ill inmates we uncovered some rather disturbing video. it is hard to watch, so you can fully understand what is going on. this reveals need guards are using excessive amounts of pepper spray to do what they call a forcible cell extraction. they say these inmates refuse to come out of their cells. they are authorized to

use dangerous amount of pepper spray. they are using a fire hose to douse these inmates. the inmates are naked, they are terrified and screaming for help. and i have spoken repeatedly with the department of corrections and they say although it is unfortunate, it is sometimes necessary. still to come, remember that movie we bout a zoo? well, that zoo is now in trouble and the guy who bought it in real life, is turning to the public for help. his viral campaign, next. >> the law is not popular with the majority of americans the newly empowered republicans want to name or kill it, and there's a case that puts the heart of it in peril. and debate over the
