6:04 pm
parent teacher conferences. why? because congress is doing nothing to make it stop, or make any progress towards an immigration system based on reality. now the democrats are insisting that the president has the right, the legal authority to take this action they say previous presidents both republicans and democrats have used executive action, and that president obama can do the same. michael. >> speaker of the house john boehner has said that the president would poison the well that he is playing with fire if he goes it alone. well, today the speak was equally as emphatic. >> we are going to fight the president tooth and nail if he continues down this path. this is the wrong way to govern. this is exactly what the
6:05 pm
american people said on election day they didn't want. >> and boehner said today that he believes the president would be violating his oath of office, and violating the constitution. and michael, the big question now is would republicans actually hold up the budget, force a government shut down, over this issue. to be corned. >> lisa stark reporting live from washington, thank you. we will hear from one of three republicans to sponsor the immigration reform bill, in the house of representatives. congress is dend maaing answers now on the u.s. military strategy in iraq. secretary of defense and chairman of the joints chief of staff face tough questions from the house armed services committee today. jamie mcintire reports. >> in their appearance, secretary hagel and general testimonysy both asked for more time, patience, and of course, money. >> after the united states spent more than
6:06 pm
ten years and between $5 billion training and equipping forces who fled in the face of islamic state militants, the question on the mines of members of the house armed services committee is how will another $1.63000 billion u.s. advisers 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 a difference? not run ago way from the wattle? >> the answer says defense secretary and joint chief chairman is that the new iraqi government will have to prove to it's troops it's worthy of defending. you don't think we would be out there swinging and fighting if we didn't have the support of the congress of the united states and the kind of support that the american public provide to our men and women? so we comfort hold the iraqis to a higher standard that just didn't exist. >> a former prime
6:07 pm
minister. >> men and women will not fight if they don't have confidence in their leaders. >> dempsey says it will take at least 80,000 troops, three competent divisions to recoanchor the key northern city, and the rest of the iraqi territory lost to isil. and even then, he warns there will be many set backs. >> i would describe it this way, three steps forward, two steps back, and at every step forward or back, we will debate about the size of the step. >> they both again ruled out any ground troops which outgoing chairman dismissively called a minimalist strategy. >> how can you uh success my execute the mission you have been given to degrade and ultimately destroy isil, when some of your best options are taken off the table?
6:08 pm
the pentagon strategy is iraq first and then syria. where it not only wants to defeat isil but also engineer a political solution that would remove syrian president bashar al asaad from power, all while arming and trains the so called moderate opposition. something the pentagon admits will take almost a year. >> reporting from washington, now, secretary hagel and general dempsey said defeating isil will require a lot of patience, as well as a lot of fund. the white house has asked for $5.6 billions for the cam main, 5 billion of that would go to the pentagon to pay for combat operations. meanwhile, isil has been raising huge amounts of cash to pay for it's campaigns in iraq and syria. >> down a bumpy road, just a few feet from the syrian border we set out in source of isil's source of income. our guide, a 22-year-old
6:09 pm
female smuggler, her tools, jerry cans earmarks for oil. in a discreet hotel room, we see how uh isil recruits. our recruitser a 27-year-old syrian i.t. expert, his tools, keyboard and mouse. supposed to facebook and twitter. >> on the river in ill stainable, over cups of tea. we learn how isil is organized, our experts a syrian once employed as a isil sales man ice salt lake took over factories they needed civilians who weren't connected to them, i helped sell the products. >> 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 an estate that may fly the flag of islam, but as it's heart
6:10 pm
is corporate. >> every aspect of the organization is extremely structured. the smuggling that we saw just a little bit of right there, that is structures through it's own hierarchy, the twitter and facebook, that you saw one of those men right there that has it's own ire arcky, and it's own sophistication. those videos are incredibly well put together, but also successful at continuing to recruit more and more foreign fighters which then allowed isis to be more victorious, this shows how difficult it will be to defeat isis and how pervasive and how far flung the foot soldiers are so many people i have met talk about isil member ease not the fighters no t the people, who are ruthless and barbaric, that is the kind of public face, the heart is so many civilians, so many people
6:11 pm
who join the group for money, for any other reason, they are not true believers at all. but without those people, without a legion of civilians they would not have had the successes it has had. >> you can see nick's full report at america tonight. six pacific right here on al jazeera america. israelis agree today to ease the crisis over religious fights. who want to pray at the mosque also known as temple mount. the secretary of state was in jordan today, and played a key role in deescalations tensions. more from jerusalem. >> it was announced here in israel by the israeli police that there will no longer be any age restrictions at the mosque on friday, for the main prayers of the week, something that has been in place now for several weeks.
6:12 pm
we have also heard that concrete barriers blocking off roads in occupied east jerusalem have also been lifted. as you can imagine, that has made the lives of people living here incredibly difficult. so already, we are seeing tangible steps by the israelis to try to deescalate the tensions in occupied east jerusalem, which has seen frequent confrontations not only in the past few days and weeks but over the past few months whether this is enough to calm things that's something we will have to see over the next few days and ink deed the next few weeks. whatever the case, many people are hoping that we are going to see an end to this violence, which has frankly turned deadly. and many people do want to see an end to that violence. >> meanwhile, back in washington, in addition to the immigration issue uh, congress has several important bills to consider in the next few weeks in the lame duck session, and some them
6:13 pm
calico huge battles. libby the first major piece, is to approve the excel pipeline, now, what is the time line for the vote and not just the house but also the senate is, and do we know a likely outcome of those? >> it is a big piece of legislation, for a body that is known for not getting much done so watch for that to pass, it will go through easily, because republicans have the majority in the house, and they are advocating for this. what hatches in the senate is a big americaier. now, it is getting a vote on tuesday. and senate minority leader mitch mcconnell, says the fact that it is getting a vote is arability of the midterm election. let me tell you who did get the message, and that
6:14 pm
was senate democrats. they got the message on the keystone pipeline. and decide to allow a vote they have been blocking for literally years. now democrats have another motivation, a couple of them, the biggest one may be that senator mary landrieu really wanted to see this come up for a vote, and she is in the political fight of her life. in a very prooil and gas state. she has been pushing to get this up for a vote. she says she has the vote, but it is stilt a question mark if she can get enough for enough passage. that and white house.
6:15 pm
>> at least a few days to really play out. michael. >> in addition to the keystone project, senators and house represents elected some new lead evers today or maybe the same leaders for congress, how did those turn out? any surprises? >> a lot of familiar faces especially over in the house. some additions to the ranks. the big news, of course, is that minority leader will indeed being the majority leader over? the senate. now there was some push back, harry reid will continue to be their top guy, in the senate. but it wasn't unanimous. done by secret ballot and some have told us that they voted against him. one of those is mary landrieu who is trying to show her voters that she is marching to the beat of her own drum. another one is clair mckaskel who told us that voters sent a clear indication that they want
6:16 pm
to see some change. she will be bringing a new agenda. >> reporting live from the capitol. turning so the crisis there ukraine. military equipment has increased other the last bike. the government and the united nations fear a new rebel offensive is in the works. reports from donetsk. >> it is fairly quiet here this morning. we have heard sporadic fighting but nothing compared to the fighting we have heard in the last five days. which has been concentrated. in the stand off between ukrainian and pro russian forces. we have also been hearing that the military convoys are continuing to move around this area, we
6:17 pm
ourself saw a convey moving towards the direction just a few days ago. so the tensions here are still rather high. now in terms of the ukrainian reaction, the defense ministry yesterday said they are planning to redeploy more troops into the area to prepare for advancement by the pro-russian separatist here so there is certainly a worrying note. >> now to the ebola outbreak. it will begin clinical tryings of drugs next month in west africa, in an effort to better treat ebola infections. it comes as it is ending the spread of the virus. the outbreak is far from over, but believe believes there's enough progress to lift emergency measures. they including closing schools and markets. liberia has by far the most deaths from ebola,
6:18 pm
let's take a look at the numbers closer. ebola has taken more than 2800 lives in liberia. total fatalities are also more than 1100. there's rising unease as a grand jury weighs chargers against a police officer that shot and killed michael brown. he is the forensic pathology hired by the ground family to conduct a private autopsy. in ferguson with details. >> there's been a quiet calm, as residents businesses and police prepare for any potential unrest that may come after a grand outannouncement deciding whether or not, darren wilson the officer that shot and killed michael brown back in august will face charges. and over the last few days we have seen businesses boarding up. we have also seen very few protestors just a
6:19 pm
hand full out and about in front of the police department, and still, we hear also from michael brown's attorneys for michael brown's parents talking about calm, asking for calm, something that the governor asked for earlier this week, but they also say there are doubts aability the process. the process of the grand jury looking into this investigation, which is been shrouded in mystery up until now. >> there's a great concern, that because of this secret proceeding that people will not be so accepting of whatever decision the grand jury makes. the big question is when this decision will come through. saying it would come as early as mid november, or late november, and of course they have the deadline of january. testimony still being heard by the grand jury, and at some point they will have to deliberate before making that announcement, and the community is bracing for whenever that comes.
6:20 pm
>> reporting from ferguson missouri, still to come, we are seeing new pictures from historic mission to land a space crap on a comment, but a problem with batteries could cut it short. >>
6:21 pm
6:22 pm
moments ago, congress has taken up a bill that would approve the keystone excel pipeline. but there are new questions whether that pipeline is even needed. on real money, so jen, why is this project so controversial? >> it is quite controversial. let's make sure everyone knows what it is. it would cross from canada, into montana, and then it snakes there tough great plains it would then connect with
6:23 pm
existing pipelines. support evers ink cyst this would help foster independent, it could create as many 20,000 jobs. but and state department, disagrees. it estimates that i would create 3500 short term jobs as most. that's only over two years and then when the construction is done, the pipeline only needs 50 long term workers to operate it. so there's a lot of numbers to short through, and then in terms of energy independence, more oil from canada would reduce depend on oil from the middle east, and other places possibly, but that's also something that people are talking about. >> america is producing more oil than it ever has, so how does this pipeline fit into the
6:24 pm
energy boom? we are really muching it out, last week it rose to 9 million-barrel as day. that's the highest level since 1986. but oil prices settled today, and prices have dropped 31%, prices are falling as america produces a lot more oil, and these days we are producing that because of fracking and guess what, fracking for oil is more experience. so the lower prices may be great for the two of us, but they are not so good for producers. america's oil industry is come out in favor of the pipeline before, but with the prices falling the industry may be having some second thoughts about whether or not this is going to be a good and sustainable idea given what they are seeing on the price end. >> what else do you have for us tonight. >> we aring looing at batteries you may have heard of this. that it is buying battery
6:25 pm
maker door sell. it is a business where getting big means getting smaller. we want to be able to drive electric cars so we are looking into the future of batteries. >> although the robot probe successfully landed, it's at a weird angle and it isn't getting as much power as it needs. scientistscientists are scg to get as much power as possible before the batteries run out. jake, how exactly did this wind up in such a tough spot? come, it had to do with how low the gravity is on the comment. it is the equivalent of a penny when you consider what it is like to be on that comment it came in at two miles an hour, and
6:26 pm
still managed to bounce when it made impact. here is the landing manager explaining how far away it seems to have traveled in the sort of guess work involved in trying to figure out where it is now. this is a phenomenal landing site, and we hit this correctly, withinless than 100-meter from the projected point. this is known, and then we did this huge jump. something like this, and the concept data imply that -- and it's a bit depending on who dialect property you assume. somewhere in this area. so somewhere in this area. >> the problem here, michael, is that now the lander is nearly vertical, only two of it's three arms are making contact with the ground, the other one is up in the pointing at space. and that means the solar panels are not receiving as much energy as they require. they are hoping to get about six to seven hours
6:27 pm
of sunlight every 12 hours, they are getting only about 90 minutes now, and that means that they are not really going to have enough power to sustain themselves or recharge the ballries. so it looks right now as if this is only going to last about another 40 hours. so it is a real race against time here. >> so there's little hope of reorienting the lander because it doesn't have propulsion, it is just the power aspect, and if it can't reposition itself, what can they get done in such a short period of time? >> well, there is news coming out just in the last hour, that they are not going to try to reorient this, as you say it does not have propulsion onboard the arms can move, but it soups like they aren't going to try to risk it, with something as light weight with a zero gravity environment, any kind of drill movement into the core or trying the fire the harpoons could up end the whole
6:28 pm
thing, so instead they are just going to scramble to get as much data as they can, that means x-ray data, they can pick up solar radiation, but they may not be able to grab a sample and put it into a spectrometer. wow uh, hate to have a poor end to such a triumphant accomplishment on that comment. reporting live from san francisco. we have been telling you uh about a possible plan to protect as many as 5 million undocumented immigrantses from deportation, what one republican lawmaker has to say about those reports. and police in northeasterns accuses of letting hundreds of sex crimes cases slip through the crackses.
6:29 pm
huh-uh huh-uh huh-uh
6:30 pm
huh-uh huh-uh uh welcome back to al jazeera america. president obama may soon announce widespread immigration reform. an executive order could come as early as next week. let's take a deep dive on this issue beginning on what it would do. it could protect as many
6:31 pm
as 5 million undocumented immigrants from being deported. while the administration says president obama is still making up his mind, members of congress have taken the idea seriously, some democrats are telling the president to back off. at least for now. earlier i spoke with jeff denim, he is one of only three republicans who support the bill, and he told me he did not support the president taking executive action. >> i think that we need certainly for the country. we should certainly be looking at a long term reform, our system is broken. ms. multigenerational now, so just doing an executive order that will only last through this president, just creates a bigger problem. we need a long term solution. >> you, of course, represent district in california, that state produces more agriculture 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
6:32 pm
to support hr 15? the house's immigration reform bill? >> no. you know 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 reasoning for supporting a top to bottom reform. we have to secure our border. we had 50,000 unaccompanied miners coming over this year but then we have to go much further, having a guest worker program, having an e verify system. this is a long term progress that we have to fix. >> with that become said, what do you say to your fellow republican that is don't support this. >> well, we have to have a full debate.
6:33 pm
you graduated from our high schools and no of no other country to call home, shouldn't you be able to put your life on the line and serve in our military? that's a very simple bill that will hopefully get support on. >> because there's so many layers to this issue, do you see the reform of which you speak coming in one huge comprehensive bill? or do you think lit be a piecemeal legislature. >> i think lit be a number of bills. hopefully at the same time. i think we need to bring each one of these bills up. but massing a comprehensive package, even though it support it will be a challenge to get the entire house to support something that may have issues with the president actually implements. if he can pick and choose
6:34 pm
which parts he implements and doesn't, it creates trust with the american people. >> obviously immigration not the only issue facing congress, and of course your party, swept the miss emergency session the elections what in your mind, are the issues that will receive bipartisan support in the house. >> well, certainly, during the lame duck over the next few weeks with he be addressing a number of issues. our spending bill will be the biggest. we have to conned to fund the next several months. with that we expect to al passkey stone pipeline, energy independent bills some ways to get people back to work. we are going to pass once again, and get support on. >> congressman also told us that it was going to be difficult to pass legislation of any kind if the president eroded trust by using executive action. an alarming new report says police in new orleans fail to thoroughly investigate hundreds of sex crimes
6:35 pm
cases. police followed up on just 14% of them. jonathan martin has been looking into the report, he has more. >> a lot of people outraged by this, look at the new orleans police department for a three year period. hundreds of cases were simply ignored. they looked at five particular detectives in the sex crimeses units so we are talking to hundreds of people that said they had been sexually assaulted and these crimes were nerve even follows up on. in some cases evidence wasn't collected the report found that it was not sent to the lab. perhaps bun of the more surprising findings was that it involved the case of a two-year-old, that went to the hospital, the emergency room, suspected of being sexually assaulted. they found that two-year-old did have a
6:36 pm
std, but for some reason the officer closed the case, one of these five detective as female detective here said she personally decided not to investigate some of these cases because she personally felt that simple rape should nod be a crime. >> these suggest an indifference to our citizens that won't be tolerated and they offend all of the good police officer whose work diligently to enforce the law. >> i am committing to getting this right. and we are continuing to rebuild the trust between the department and the community. that was new orleans police chief, he has only been on the job for two months. he mention add word there, trust, there has been a trust issue with the police defendant, and citizens here for a long time. and it is certainly does not help, because all of these officers were veteran officers, 15 years with the department or more and so certainly
6:37 pm
a lot of questions and issues. >> jonathan martin reporting from new orleans. >> meanwhile, a, no city prosecuteser pledging up to $3,500 to investigate rape cases nationwide. he says the money will go towards testing rape kits. experts say hundreds of those have yet to be paneled. it costs up to $1,000 to process just one, for more than a year, al jazeera has been following allegations of mistreatment in california's prisons. in april a federal judge ruled the treatment of inmates was cruel and unusual. since then, california's prisoned have tries to reform the programs. but a new report found the changes have not reached the local level.
6:38 pm
in june, the department of justice issues a very critical report, saying the treatment of these inmates is unconstitutional, siting noisy unsantir, and overcrowded conditions. the aclu of southern california has also been very critical of the treatment of mentally ill inmates. yet when we do it, we provide bad mental health treatment, they tend to get worse, sick, or no better. that public policy approach that has been given an f, well, it may be changing for the better. the board voted to fund new programs for mentally ill inmates. those would include opening three new 24 hour urgent care centers. 560 new treatment beds.
6:39 pm
that would deal and work directly with law enforcement. the aclu says these are important first steps. >> i think we are seeing much more attention on it, they are realizing the cost of this, that it isn't good for anybody. and that there's -- i think i am hopeful there's a focus on these problems and there will also be a move toward solutions. these new programs at the county level will be funded in part by new grant money at a cost of $109 million that may seem like a lot, be uh the aclu says to do nothing, well, that would cost more. >> jennifer, we are talking about issues on the local level. but it isn't just there, where problems exist. in the state of california it is also at the state level, correct. >> that's correct. and al jazeera has reported extensively on the treatment. both at the county level and the state level, and while we were looking
6:40 pm
into claims of guards using excessive force, we uncovered some dramatic video that shows the guards in what the prison system call as forcible extraction. saying they refused to leave the cells and the guards are allowed to use force to remove them, and they can also used what is been determined dangerously high level of pepper spray. we are talking about dousing the inmates with pepper spray, you can hear them screaming they are naked and terrified, they are confused. i spoke repeatedly with the department of corrections and they told me that sometimes how regardless of how unfortunate it may be, sometimes they say force is necessary. to extract these inmates. they say we need it to ensure the safety of our guards. a federal judge has disagreed and deemed those unconstitutional. >> some very powerful
6:41 pm
video there. reporting from los angeles. for a look now at other news. >> michael, the man accused of kidnapping a philadelphia woman was formalin dated today. he now faces federal kid p thatting charges. police rescued her, and arrested him three days later. marriage licenses are being issued for same is ex-couples. opened the door to gay marriages in the state. there afternoon when the scaffolding gave way, he was able to ex-cape safely, yesterday, two window washers got stuck more than 60 floors high at one world trade center. and an attempt to ban the

6:45 pm
6:46 pm
the world. giving you a real global perspective like no other can. real reporting from around the world. this is what we do. al jazeera america. some of us know first hand that american waste lines have ex-panted and that is now creating challenges for people that make crash test dummies. the devices are known for getting smashed up to determine if a scar is safe, be uh the dummies
6:47 pm
in use are apparently not measuring up. more on the dummies and they are growing is that right? >> yes, that's right. the company that manufactured these are offing a larger version, and is that's part of a revolution in safety test canning and aimed at representative who is actually behind the steering wheel in america. the insurance institute of highway safety with it's crash test dummies tricked out with dozens of sensors costing as much as 250,000-dollar as piece. >> on each of these we are recording 10,000 samples of data per second. >> at 5'10", and 172 pounds the mid size male is the most readily used stand in for humans. >> soon, a 273-pound mod

6:49 pm
cannot quickly load on to the pelvis. for this particular simulation, this obese occupant will have -- that is extreme example of momentum. >> in the future, we can just run this, and that will save a lot of time as well as money. >> now the goal of the computerized crash test dummies and the crash test dummies themselveses is so more accurately represent the diversity of drivers in america, and michael, apparently they are getting older and heavier. >> i wonder if there will ever come a time where they will replace real dummies. >> now, according to the researchers we talks to no crash test dummies are here to say for the time being. but who knows what the future holds. >> wow, technology always
6:50 pm
evolving. the rest of the team, every saturday, 7:30 eastern, right here on al jazeera america. >> ask internal government review found a series of secret service failures allowed an armed man to scale the white house fence and enter the front door. a guard could have stopped him on the north lawn, but that guard was on a personal phone call inside a van, that had no access to his primary or back up radio. lisa stark is live in washington with more on this breaking news. >> michael, that was just one of a series of failures that allowed omar gonzales to go over the wall and get into the white house. this report is quite extensive. officers did see him climb the wall, they yelled at him, they radio there was a jumper, but there was massive
6:51 pm
