between the hosts and guests. >> a few people were protesting against vladimir putin. there were marches on climate change. rights for aboriginal australians and higher taxes on banks. >> economic growth will dominate the main g20 talks. it could affect engineers. he left spain when the economy started to go backwards. >> for three years he's been working on a cross brisbane road tunnel. >> after three or four years of hard work, driving the family, and being able to say "i cooperated in doing some of this", it is really, really, very rewarding for us. >> reporter: the economic activity the tunnel will regenerate should repay costs many times over. >> for the leaders meeting 5km from here, and somewhere up there, this is the scheme they

wanted to see more of. the aim is to increase global growth over the next 5 years. pushing the schemes is a way they think they can achieve it. >> reporter: australia asked each g20 minutes to bring their solid proposals for growth to brisbane. >> yes, our world can grow and deliver the jobs that our people want. this conference is about how we will deliver. >> official talks began late afternoon brisbane time. by the same time on sunday, the aim is to have a firm action plan to boost the world's economy it's not all business at the summit in australia. world leaders and spouses took part in cola diplomacy, each were given koalas to hold. they have been an important cultural symbol to many in australia. they were declared a threatened species in 2012.

in germany, angela merkel took time out from her schedule to take a selfie with customers outside a bar in brisbane. >> other world news, the chairman of the joint chiefing of staff, martin dempsey is in iraq. the first visit since the u.s.-led coalition launched against i.s.i.l. the trip was not announced. dempsey is in a meeting to discuss advancing the u.s. military operation there. meanwhile, in the capital city, 15 people were killed in a car bomb overnight. 30 others were injured. while leaders meet in iraq, the coalition continues an assault against i.s.i.l. in syria. 20 air strikes were carried out there. 17 were around the northern border town of kobane. there has been fighting over the past two months. u.s. forces say they struck app i.s.i.l. straining camp, and attacked a group outside of aleppo. >> an al qaeda linked group is

making gains in syria. the al nusra front is accused of seizing territory from moderates. as zeina khodr reports, al nusra fighters have a different take on the mission. >> al nusra front has been a powerful player in the syrian civil war for a long time now. as al qaeda's affiliated syria, it is the dominant group in the north western province of idlib. earlier it seized territory and weapons from rebel forces in the area. it raised concerns. that the new strategy is to become the unrivalled leader among forces. the group denied that the takeover was a power grab. we were told that this was a war against corrupt leaders who used weapons to oppress people. >> look at what is happening elsewhere. we fight alongside other forces.

we fight groups who act like jamal marr use. >> jamal marr use -- malouf is a controversial figure. al nusra front targeted the hassam movement. both marr use and the haasal movement is backed by the u.s. government. >> in the north nusra is more worried about american-backed rebels and the american led coalition, will it continue to confront rebel groups with home it has been working. it's difficult to say. >> it's a critical time. the u.s. insists that the air strikes target the groups, and not the al nusra front. both groups share the territory, fighters feel threatened. they have been designated as a terrorist organization, and the vision for a new syria is not

accepted by all. >> translation: what we are planning is for islamic law to be implemented. we don't want to be the only rulers, and we'll share power with other factors. >> there are no indications that the u.s.-led coalition plans to widen its campaign - at least for now. al nusra front feels it has been targeted. it's not clear if the offensive in idlib is part of a strategy. what is clear is that the group managed to get rid of enemies on the ground it takes bullets to fight a war and funny to buy the bullets, that's the reality leaving i.s.i.l. into using captured oil into funding the war machine. nick schifrin got a first-hand look at the process. >> down a bumpy road, a few feet from the border, we set out i.s.i.l.'s source of income. our guide, a 22-year-old female smuggler. her tools, jerry cans, ear

marked for oil. in a discrete hotel room we see how i.s.i.l. recruits. our recruiter is a 27-year-old it expert. on the river in istanbul, over cups of tea, we learn how i.s.i.l.'s organised. our expert - a syrian employed as an i.s.i.l. salesman. >> how did you recognise him? >> i.s.i.l. took over factories. they needed civilians not connected to them. i help to sell the products. >> three people all of whom demanded anonymity, show how i.s.i.l.'s management, organization and wealth are dependent on foot shoulders whose main motivation is income. they work for an islamic state that might claim to fly the flag of islam, but at its heart is corporate. every aspect of the organization is structured.

the the smuggling that we saw a little bit of right there, that is structured through its own hierarchy. the twitter and facebook that you saw one of those men right there, that has its own structure, and its own sophistication. the videos are incredibly well put together, and successful at continuing to recruit more and more foreign fighters that allows i.s.i.l. to be victorious. it goes to show how difficult it will be to defeat matt niskanen, and how pervasive and far flung its foot soldiers are. so many people i met talk about i.s.i.l. members, not the fighters that we see on tv, not the people who are ruthless and barbaric. that is the public face of i.s.i.l., the heart of i.s.i.l. is so many civilians, who join for money, and any other reason

are not true believers, without those people, without a legion of civilians, i.s.i.l. wouldn't have the successors it has so far the british government is looking at introducing a law to stop its citizens fighting with i.s.i.l. under the law they'll have the right to seize travel documents. they want the law in place in january. >> reporter: he's nicknamed jihadi john, he's british, an i.s.i.l. fighter with middle east ambitions and a western beside and is not the only one. >> we have to confront the threat at its source. >> reporter: that's the leader of his country, david cameron, battling an enemy 3,000 miles away. >> this is a message to that swine david cameron. >> an enemy of britains who have left to join the ranks. more than 500 are thought to have made the trip to syria.

half have come home. 200 made the trip. the problem the authorities have is stopping the radicalized. there's talk about banning extremists, talk like this. >> we must ban extremist preachers from the country, root out extremism from schools, university and prisons. >> reporter: there'll be more effort to stop them. suspect will not be allowed to move the u.k. those abroad could have this document, their passport, cancelled. they'll only be allowed in once escorted by the security services. there'll be bans on the skies, with aeroplanes refused landing. it's a stuff stance, but not enough, says the expert. he spent years in the special branch. >> what police would like to see is proper border, passport

controls reintroduced at the borders so people that leave the country pass under the eyes of a law enforcement officer. they have been agitating for that for many years. the government ignored these requests. making it easy for the jihadists to leave. >> this fighter taunted the authorities. >> when he calls you, what gives you life. >> he could be stateless under the law. >> there are questions, fears, about how it could affect britains abroad. >> if you treat them in the same way. the danger is that there'll be miscarriages of justice. if there's just one. it feeds into the narrative. if you are a muslim, you'll be treated differently. that is dangerous. >> reporter: as i.s.i.l. continues its request to form a caliphate, the ambition is to grow. it will be without fewer britains, if this place has anything to do with it

in ferguson, missouri, and across the country many are waiting for the grand jury's decision. there is concern that the decision do lead to violence. in response, local groups were educating citizens about their rights. they are led in nonviolent reports. john terrett reports from st louis. >> reporter: police advance on protesters, the intention is intimidation. the protestersling arms and whisper word of love to the officers' ear. love, love, love. they say. not real, a lesson in how to protest tactics in a peaceful manner, and case there's violence once the ferguson, missouri decision is known. >> black lives have not mattered. it is important that the friends of ours struggle, that they see themselves as allies, but freedom fighters themselves. >> this is a rotten system.

>> gatherings like this has been held all week in the lewis area, designed to show how to protest peacefully, considered to be heavy-handed, not brutal tactics, such as these in mid-august, after the death of an armed teenager michael brown, by police officer darren wilson. >> somewhere between 70 and 100 members of the public in st louis, and according to the organizers, they follow on in the tradition of martin luther king junior. calling for nonviolence. >> what is it that these people hope to achieve by attendanting the session. >> i expect to be brushed up on non- violence strategies that i learnt over the years. it's been a few years since i had to use them. >> we want to keep this as a loving atmosphere, and no violence to anything, people or places. >> or to get dragged into it. >> or get dragged into it.

>> no one knows what the grand jury's decision will be, when it will come down or if there'll be protests like last summer. >> the nebraska medical center received a third ebola patient. dr martin salia is a surgeon that contracted the disease in sierra leone. he arrived in omaha. he was described as critically ill. >> we have received word from both medical teams on the ground in sierra leone, and the flight crew transporting him that he is extremely ill, possibly more ill than any of the patients that have been transported from western africa to the united states to be treated for ebola up to this point. >> 44-year-old salia is a native of sierra leone, but a permanent member of the u.s. his family is grateful for the care. >> he is really a hero to me. when i was little he brought me up to the kind of man i was today, and makes sure if i don't

do the medical work, i do something that will make people happy or make people feel like they are someone they can look up to the centers for disease control and prevention released numbers today. liberia has the most cases with 68 hundred. sierra leone has 5500, and guinea 2,000. in the congo, the government declared the 3-month ebola outbreak officially over. they have gone 42 address without recording a single case of the disease. 49 died in the african country. >> some of the big names recorded a song to raise money for treatments. rock star bono and others gathered at a studio in london, and are recording a new scrertion of the band-aid -- version of the band-aid song "do they know it's christmas", band-aid was a super charity

supergroup in the '80s. a group of popular singers in west africa released a song to clear up misinformation about the virus and hope. [ singing ] singers from mali, sendinga gal, ivory coast, all their their voices, and it is sung in french. they tell people to trust officials and not be afraid to get treatment a chemical spill in texas, in dooup oint, 20 miles east of houston. it was huffed to create insent sides and fungicides. it was contained two hours later. several workers responded to the leak and were responding to the gas. a valve containing the chemical

failed. it's unclear why after last year's disastrous roll out, the white house is promising is better experience with affordable care act 2.0. we'll look at the start of open enrolment and the future of the affordable care act. the senate is expected to take up the keystone pipeline. we examine the passivics of petroleum transport. >> and the president to push forward immigration reform. we speak to a man racing against time to stay with his family.

welcome back. today is the first day of the 2015 open enrolment for what is known as obama care. more than 7 million americans have signed up for health coverage under the affordable care act under the past year. criticism is strong as ever. the future is that much more n

certain. here is jonathan betz with a check-up on the affordable care act. >> reporter: open enrolment begins, the secretary of health and human services promises a smoother ride navigating healthcare.gough. >> there's a betting interaction. things are vaster and more intuitive. >> reporter: there's reports of back end issues, problems between insurers and government. 13 states and washington d.c. are operating their own exchanges. >> if you haven't signed up for insurance yet, this is your chance. >> that poses difficulties, as the white house tries to reenrol to 7.1 million in the marketplace. adding millions more for 2015. more are expected to sign up for medicaid. 8.7 million additional americans were covered under medicaid.

the children's health insurance programme. thanks to 27 states that expanded the proms. there are 77 new health insurers selling health care plans in the marketplace for 2015. that's up 25" from last year. and why not, considering the industry has seen a boom. >> the s&p 500 comprised of insurers, hospitals and drug companies outperformed stocks. the department of health and human services estimates hospitals will save 5.7 billion in 2014, thanks to an increase of insured patients. the house of representatives tried 47 times to repeal the affordable care act, and will not stop there. the house, i am sure, at some point will move to reveal obama care. >> when a republican controlled senate takes office, they'll vote to repeal. they'll need to muster 60 votes, and there's still the power of the president's veto. >> repeal of the law i will not

sign. efforts that would take away health care from the 10 million people who have it, and the millions more who were eligible to get it, we are not going to support. >> if the affordable care act survives 2015, it will have to contend with the supreme court. in 2012 the court upheld the law's mandate. it struck down a requirement for religious environment to provide birth control. next year there could be a loop hole ending government subsidies in some states, making health care unaffordable to many. >> first day of open enrolment, the department of human heath and services reported 20,000 completed applications. to talk more about the affordable care act, let's welcome the chief operating officer. and a fellow and deputy director

of of a medical firm. >> 28,000 in the first hour, is that good? >> it's great traffic. hath care.gough is up and running. some sites have trouble. california went down. washington state went down. we should give it a little time before passing judgment. >> what have we learnt in the first year. >> today was a strong day. we benefitted from last year, all of us that went throw it know there may be hiccups. we are better able to anticipate what they are, better able to reach people and explain the product and the infrastructure. it is more stable. we are in a better position. metro plus had a strong day. i visited a location one in brisbane. we had 100 people enrolled. we are positive. >> positive start, has the obama administration done is good job, with obama care 2.0. >> the best thing they did is

set a low bar for expectations. when they issued estimates below c.b.o. 13 million are expected to sign up in 2015. the obama administration pulled it down to 9 and 10 million. it's a great management tactic. if they overshoot it, they won't take as much slack. >> what is happening to premiums for 2015? >> the premiums overall had an increase in new york. very modest. for any individual, the dollar value of that increase my be smaller than they expect. with the subsidies available, they bring the dollar value down, especially for people of low incomes, it's a modest increase. >> what are we talking about 3-4%. >> the average in new york is 5%. there was increase over last year, there are plans that are cheaper, but metro plus, the best membership. most people enrolled in new york

city. we expect to have a strong years, a response to having competitive products, good experience with consumers, and positive association with the new york city health and hospital association, which is the leading public health entity in the country. it's clear now. >> and it was a smooth start in new york. will we see a wider choice in doctors and hospitals? >> i don't think we'll see that this year. it will take a while for consumers to hit insurance across the country. i'm not sure how much wider the networks will be, how many morphousicians will be -- more firstingses will be in the networks. if ensurers around the country want to compete. they'll have to keep the networks constrained. >> what does it mean for the patient? >> you have about fewer choices but patients need to be better at figuring out whether the physicians, browsing through formula, it's a learning

process. >> what is the most confusing thing about the website? >> the website is confusing. >> it's gone from 75 pages to 15. >> new york didn't have a complicated roll out as nationally, and they have taken steps to make it six ler and streamlined -- simply leer and streamlined -- simpler and streamlined. all the noise is what is making it harder. is it going away, the subsidies going away. we believe the laws are here to stay. someone who is concerned about that, and doesn't follow it. there are efforts to repeal it, discussions about subsidies, they may be confused as to the best step. >> if you enrolled last year, what do you do. >> if you enrolled and you are happy and have no changes, you can do nothing, and be re-enrolled in the next year. lots of metro plus people will do that. we provided good service.

they'll stay with us. others should go in, based on income or family size, they may be eligible for subsidies, some may want to shop around. the overwhelming majority had strong experiences and will reenroll. >> will we see states expand. >> states will figure out creative ways, they'll work with the administration. it will have to be more flexible. i think ultimately they won't expand insurance, especially to the population left out. they want to xp panned to to poor -- expand it to poorer residents. states will have to give a little bit. the money is indicing. that will pull in the governors. >> let's talk about the young adults. what incentive do they have to enroll, besides the fine? >> we did well. 50% of the population was under 35. surprising to some people.

some of that was the publicity around the law, the desire, somebody - maybe someone's mum telling them you better get insurance, you better sign up. we like mums doing that too. >> a lot of young people are uncertain. they are also not sure about insurance in general. it's something you pay now, but don't see the benefits from now. part of our effort is to show people that insurance is something you need no matter what. that is creating the environment that obama care is here to stay, that the affordable care act is going be a part of people's support for buying insurance, and so some of the noise around that is not helpful. >> let's talk about that, is obama care here to stay. we have seen a shift in power. in washington - your thoughts? >> it's here to stay. the law has no chance of getting repealed. the earliest that this will be possible is 2017 if we had a republican president. let's say by then, 15-20 million

will ensure during the law. no one will take it away from all those people. change is possible. that's what 2015/2016 can bring with the republican congress and the democratic president. >> can we see parts of it chipped away. >> new york has a little different structure. it operates its own exchange, and does have strong laws and did expand medicaid significantly before. i think that's probably not a substantial risk in new york. the national picture is a problem if the subsidies that go away, a lot of inner workings of the law do, are at risk of falling apart. while the law is strong and provided great advantages to people, the congressional action is probably less of a risk. the supreme court case is more of a concern if it gets to the heart of the subsidies, and you could see movement. >> what can health insurance

companies expect in 2015. >> most insurers don't have the full year of experience with the risk pull. especially the new ones, new york, cossar insurance. they picked up a good number of people. some of them don't know what the full risk looks like. they don't know who is healthy or sick. 2016 will test the waters. after 2016, 2017, federal back stoppers disappearing, they'll be a trying year. we'll have to look to see if obama care can stand on its own two feet. >> have they benefitted, the insurance companies? >> they have created a market. giving people the availability to purchase insurance, some that did not. there is financial risk, because the nature of the market, the nature of who the customer is going to be is uncertainly. we had a strong year in new york, almost 1 million people enrolled statewide in the affordable care act, as they say in new york city, metro plus did better than any other company,

about 45,000 enrolled. half younger people. the demographics have been favourable. we look forward to that continuing. it gets harder, you are appealing to people that have a level of uncertainty, who are not sure if insurance is for them or they'll be eligible, us have to do a deeper dive into the market to make sure you reach the people. we look forward to a strong year, a competitive problem. people, at the end of the day understand the value of insurance for them and their families. >> they understand, but some just can't afford it. what type of financial assistance is there? >> you can get two type of subsidies, some that help with the monthly payment to the insurance company, and cost-sharing subsidies, if you meet the threshold that helps you with pocket costs. for a lot of people, they focus on the premiums, people pick the lowest premium plan and get

stuck with high deductibles, and with wages slow, they are not picking up for a lot of people, that will be a big burden, they have to learn to bans out the cautions, subsidies that are sable, taking advantage of the insurance product. >> we had a longer enrolment last time around. if you miss the deadline, what then? >> if you have a qualifying event - birth of a child, changing job, you move - you can enrol. for insurance companies, this is the super bowl. we have to be ready. we have been gearing up for months, started out with bigger event. we are really confident that we are going to see a lot of people coming out in the traffic to our offices, indicating that a lot of interest - that people are aware in a way that you are not sure they will be. the period is open. they need insurance. they may not always by. they may be window shopping. >> your advice to those shopping

around? >> look at it. if you are unsure, if the price is too high. take a look. it's probably more affordable than you believe. >> the final motels - what is the full court -- moments, what is the future of law. it's a broad question. >> some changes are definitely going to happen. the medical device tax, it has bipartisan support. the employer mandate may go. but you'll need a lot of revenue to make up for that. the individual mandate is here to stay. it will depend on what the administration is going to accept with flexibility. there are smaller parts to the law. overall, it's here to stay. that's pretty much it. >> final thoughts. >> i think it's a great benefit for people. >> i ran the new york city's programme for 15 years before taking this job. and the number one concern about people going to work is the availability of health insurance for people and their families. a law that provides for that, gives the ability to have health

insurance, from the health point of view, helping people go to work, live better lives, it's important to our country to have a strong health insures. >> we'll have to leave it there. chief operating officer. and a fellow deputy director of the center for medical progress. thank you for being with us on "a deeper look." still ahead - impatience after weeks of uncertainty, mexican families grow insistent on the government giving them answers about their loved ones. plus... >> i live day to day with anguish ..we talk to a man facing deportation, waiting to see if the president will take access on deportation.

that is why he vowed to do everything in his power to stay, including suing the government agency tasked with deporting him. >> together with five other undocumented immigrants, luis filed a lawsuit for failing to respond to a petition filed in february. the president and miss administration presided over 2 million deportations, it's not too late to sake action staying deportation of people like luis. last week obama admitted his policies needed review. >> we are deporting people that shouldn't be deported, we are not deporting folks that are dangerous and should be deported. >> immigrants rights says the president could change it now. >> he could have done it yesterday. there's no excuse why we should deal with the harm, the hurt and the pain of over 2 million

people that have been taken from the families and the community. >> for its part, iceis admitted to sensible immigration, focussing on priorities, including convicted criminals and safety threats. luis insists he is not a threat. >> i don't know why you don't let us come in, i'm not harmed, i don't have anything with me. >> ice refused his lawsuit, so he left it on the doorstep. >> translation: in my mind there's the idea to be with my children, to take them to school, share my life with them. these ideas are dreams that are erased with everything that happens to me. >> for lewis, what is impossible a week ago may become a reality. christmas with his family, here in the united states.

>> immigration is not the only battle brewing. the keystone pipeline is about to hit the senate floor, a vote is scheduled next week. on one side supporters say it will create thousands of jobs much critics say the environment is a more important gain. experts say the pipeline is the safest way to transport petroleum from one place to another. the problem is you cannot be everywhere at once. that is worse the more pipeline you lay. in this case we talk about a pipeline that is constructed from canada into the continent of the united states, but we'll enjoy an existing pipeline as it makes its way to the gex coe. now, the companies that maintain pipelines have created high-tech systems for remotely monitoring the systems. they can spot leaks from a great distance. using robots that go in and on the pipes.

the problem is when small leaks take place, it can let a lot of oil go before the company detects it. a wall street journal reports that in 251 leaks in 2010 and 2013, only in 19% of cases was the pipeline monitoring technology the first thing to discover the leak. it's usually something in the area. in one case in september 2013, a farmer used his knows to discover that crude oil was leaking into the wheat field. when the company in charge came out and dug, they discovered that 20,000 barrels of oil was seeping into the ground. that leak, the fact that it was not detected by the pipeline system, makes environmentalists nervous about laying a massive pipeline across the width of the united states. the reason that we are concerned about oil is it gets into the

body and cannot be expelled. when human being absorb oil, they can't get rid of it, it's passed up the food chain. as the animals die, it is passed to funningi. it's a toxic material. the ratio is that one drop of oil can contaminate. a gallon of oil, a million gallons of oil is toxic. that is why everyone is concerned about the pipeline. >> the controversy surrounding the propose add keystone pipeline is the subject of sunday's "the week ahead". we'll get both sides of the issue, why the passion for it is as strong as the emotional arguments against it. that's a look tomorrow. 8:30 eastern, 5:30 pacific. the little probe that landed on a comet on wednesday ran out of power. lander was built with solar

panels to recharge the battery and keep it operating. the lander has been in the shadows literally, morgan radford explains. >> when it touched down, small harpoons attached to the legs should have fired and anchored the lander to the surface. they did not work, and the lander bounced not once, but twice, bouncing on two of three legs in an unknown location that is shaded from the sun. >> but you see that we are in the shadow of a cliff. that's as you understand. >> the lander was designed to get 6-7 hours of sunlight, it was getting less than that. 80 minutes at most on one of the three solar panels. mission controllers proceeded with the plan, friday morning, activating a drill to cut into the surface. they were able to manoeuvre the lander into a position they hope would receive more light and restore power from landing a space cafl on a speed whying comet to self- --
