al jazeera america's hard hitting... >> today they will be arrested... >> ground breaking... they're firing canisters of gas at us... emmy award winning investigative series... special episode this is taliban country only on al jazeera america >> we are not defined by tribe, or blood lines. we are defined by a creed. >> president obama, evoking america ideals hours before announcing changes that will allow millions of immigrants to stay in the united states legally. coming up, new details from. going beyond the rhetoric, a look at what reform can mean for the nation's economy. >> more deaths in buffalo, after the area got an entire year's worth of snow in just a few days. >> and anger in mexico.

leads to mass protests and industries. >> live from new york city, in two hours president obama will tell the nation what he plans to do on his own, to fix the nation's immigration system. but we are already learning details of the plan which is expected to protect about 5 million undocumented immigrants from deportation. at least while president obama is in the white house. mike is live at the white house for us. mike, what can you tell us about what the president plans to say tonight? >> well, that's an important caveat that you make, as long as president obama is in the white house this underlines the chief difference between what congress can do.

going around congress that's what president obama intends too do with this announcement tonight. at this moment, just over my right shoulder, a vigil of sorts is forming people with candle light. waiting for president obama announcement, up to 5 million individuals can arecord deportation under what the president is said to propose tonight, let's get into the details. defers action for parents of children who are already use citizens. and they must come forward and submit to a background check, if they do, they can work legally and pay taxes and here is one key point, this is a three year program. in order, it could expire unless a sek seeding president. the successor to president obama decided to move forward and

extend these, absent any legislation. on one other night, these individuals would not be eligible for healthcare, medicare, or food aid. remember president obama said he would defer deportations for young people that were brought here through no choice of their own. it emphasizes deportations for those recent arrivals and for criminals, everybody else does haven't to look over their shoulder quite so much, and it streamlines the h one b visa program, this is something that business community wants because this is for hi-tech workers and highly skilled workers. tony? >> so mike, the president's plan, as you know, has spark add huge debate, what have members of congress been saying today. >> you know, this is something that a lot of people expected but with have heard rhetoric over the top p they sense he is trying to bait them

into going too far, like shutting down the government, or even the, i word, impeachment. we have heard the republican today say it could lead to anarchy, and violence in the streets. speaker boehner spokesman has referred to president obama as an emperor. another referred to him as king george. he of course a long time opponent of what the president and we should add a bipartisan majority, what they want to do here is what steve king had to say. >> this is not rocket science. are we going to allow a president to violate the constitution and say our rules in the house won't let us restrain the president? this is congress, mr. speaker, must do it's constitutional duty it must adhere to our oath of the institution. >> a lot of la teen knee groups are beend hoo

this, some say it doesn't go far enough, also coming out four square behind this as well. >> all right, mike for us at the white house, mike, thank you, earlier i spoke with elliot uncle of new york, the ranking member of the house foreign apairs committee, and i asked him whether the president has the authority to go through with this executive order. >> there is no doubt in my mind that the president has the authority, i don't think he would be doing it if he didn't, because he knows he would be subject to all kinds of challenges. president, democrat zych republican in the mast, have used executive orders. they have used it for immigration, ronald ragan did it. and i think frankly the president is disgusted and fed up. the senate bill was spent over to the house, 17, 18 months ago. it could have been brought up on the floor. at any time, we believe if it went to the floor, it would get a favorable vote, but the republican

leadership has refused to do so i think he is right to do what he is going to do tonight. >> do you expect lawsuits because of the executive action? >> frankly they should not waste their time, they should be working with us in a bipartisan way to try to fix the broken immigration laws. if they don't want the president to issue an executive order, than congress needs to act. we need to put forward a bill, that explains and shows what our priorities are. >> senator mitch mcconnell has said if the president asked in this way, congress will respond congress will act, and then there is this from senator coburn, he says you are going to see, hopefully not, but

you could see instances of anarchy, you could see violence. what is your reaction to both of those sentimentses? expressed by two senior senators in. >> first of all, i think that threats are never helpful. we out to owl put our heads together and cooler heads should prepare. look, the rotches in the marty that shut the government down they are a party that brought the full faith and credit of the united states. the games are not good for the country or the economy. make threats and then plate it all on the president. i suggest they look in the mirror and show where

the blame should be. they never got an opportunity to vote on the immigration bill, and the reason why we never got that, is because the senate bill if they had been allowed to have a vote it would have passed. and overwhelming majority of democrats that would have been a majority in the house and it would have passed. the fact we are at a stalemate, they are no one else to blame the republican leadership in the house, but themselves. they have prevented a bill from being voted on for 18 months. >> when congress didn't do it's job, beyond the legal questions is a bottom line issuer here. will it hit or hurt the u.s. economy. let's put that question to real money.

both liberals and conservatives are arguing the benefits and draw backs of the president's anticipated plan. millions of people who currently live in this country who can come out of the shadows. they can pay their taxes. >> there is an argument the white house hopes will sell the people on extending legal working status to millions of undocumented immigrants. lift the threat, and the economy will reap the rewards. and then suddenly you get the minimum wage that's a huge boost. >> right now undocumented workers are more likely to be paid less than what the law demands and they are not as free to go after higher paying jobs that may better match their skills. inform that changes the liberal center estimates it would increase wages for undocumented immigrants by 8 and a half %. >> workers who earn more,

pay more, and crucially, spend more and help grow the economy and create jobbens. but while many agree on the short term economic benefits of allowing undocumented imn't grays to work here legally, critics are concerned about the potential longer term impact to the nation's bottom line. they would pay a little more in taxing but that's not the whole story, so it would end up costing more than they would pay. >> a study by the heritage foundation, found that the average undocumented household receives roughly $14,000 more in public education and government services than it paid out in taxes. while extending legal working status, due to more taxes being paid, the amount could sore to 28,000, if undocumented households eventually gain access to other government benefits like obama care. but supporters say

congressional action, is not in the cards. >> it is very unlikely, in the short and medium term, and probably even unlikely in the long term. >> no matter where the reforms leave the economy, expect both sides to continue finding paths that support their position now, history does offer some incites. according to the labor department, undocumented workers saw a 15% pay bump over five years, with many moving on to "significantly better jobs." >> ealey. >> yes. >> patricia, thank you. >> u.s. residents from ebola stricken west african nations will not be deported to their native countries. homeland security today designated liberia, guinea, and sierra lee yien for temporary status. citizen who is are living here can apply to stay an

additional seven months. secretary of state john kerry is in vienna, holding meetings with the e.u. negotiators he says a second extension is not on the table. >> as the clock ticks toward as deadline on monday. iran and international negotiators, the five permanent members of the u.n. security council as well as germany are trying to build on an interim deal a year ago. secretary kerry saying a ground breaking agreement is still possible. >> question are negotiating to try to get an agreement, it is that simple. and look, if you get to

the final hour, and you're in need of having to look at alternatives or something, it will look at them, i won't tell you we won't look at something, but we aren't looking at them. the negotiators are closer to a deal than ever before, but the most difficult issues have been left to the end, suggesting the iranian side will not make further concessions used to produce plutonium, and fresh comments the i.a.e.a., that iran has not met a deadline to provide information, particularly about what goes on at the military complex where some claim there's a secret nuclear facility. i call on iran, and provide timely access to all the information. documentation, sites material and personnel.

here at the united nations, secretary general has emerged all of those to show flexibility, wisdom, and determination. there are only three possible outcomes a break down, a historic agreement, and another extense of the process, the next few days will be crucial. al jazeera, of the united nations. >> five guantanamo detainees have been settled in europe, four years after they were cleared to leave. slovak yeah, and georgia agreed to take them in, 6 u.s. agencies cleared the men of links to al quaida, a year after president obama took office. ink stability called the delay. 143 men are still being held. years after the president filed and failed so shut it down. israel is planning to destroy the family homes of two of the two synagogue attackers. the go men were gunned

down after they stormed the synagogue and kills five. israel stopped home demolitions saying it doesn't deter attacks. the move will likely fuel growing anger, in the region. >> for 30 years, he has been navigating the streets of jerusalem. his job normally has him working all hours but not any more. he tells me after months of violent protoasts in the mainly east of the city, and following the series of recent attacks in the west, he no longer feels safe driving at night. >> by myself, yes, i am afraid. if there are four person in the car, the one that i am driving, so how can i defend on myself. >> you are afraid you may be attacks? >> that's for sure. that's for sure. >> david has lived in west jerusalem, for most

of his life, and works in a busy shopping district, david tells me he has noticed a significant drop in business, and thinks people are staying off the streets over fears of more attacks. >> of course people are more concerned. because you don't know what is going to happen. so it's a question, what is going to be, next week, next month. >> the israeli government has been criticized for not being able to control the situation, and has been accused of inflaming tensions by introducing policies which palestinians say punish them. whatever the case, on thursday, the public security ministry announced new guidance on gun licensing, as part of efforts to provide further security in the wake of the recent attacks. the new rules include the easing of restrictions and have declared 42

cities, towns, and local councils as high risk, meaning residents in these areas can now get a gun permit, much easier. a move critics say will only lead to more violence on the streets. it is clear this city is as divided as ever. is a fear of more violence. >> take a look at this time lapse video, showing a wall of lake effect snow covering the region. look at that. the area is expected to get the same amount of snow in one week, that it normally gets in an entire year. new york governor says people have come from all over to help buffalo this is i believe the largest deployment of it's kind ever, literally thousands of people from across the state coming in to help.

and hungs of peoples of equipment, coming from as faraways long island dozens of drivers have been stranded on roads. look at the roof tops there, let's check in with kevin to check on the forecast. we have been seeing this since -- let me show you what has been happening here. you can see the snow really pushing straight across lake otherry right there. i want to go closer in. here is buffalo. they have managed to get out of this quite better than some other places just to the south. now, how does it all come together? first of all, you have to have the great lakes in temperatures into the 40's and unfroze son that this arctic air has the ability to pick up the moisture across the lakes. for lake otherry we have soon the moisture come up. pushing over towards buffalo, and dropping it.

now, the snow is going to end, tonight. gun permit what is going to happen is these temperatures are going to rebound, look at that, monday at 60-degrees and rain, so we are going to be seeing incrediblability amounts of melting. flooding and freezing and structure damage for some of those roofs. i wouldn't recommend anybody getting out on that roof, unless you are properly equipped. >> yeah, absolutely. >> and it will get heavy as it melts, appreciate it, thank you. coming up, how a grass roots movement led to a rare loss for the nra in washington and whether it can happen in other states. today victims went to congress trying to get them out of american cars.

ties to almost every part of year europe, economics, culture, many countries have mixed reactions to russia's annexation of crimea, and the backing of rebels in ukraine. this week, ali velshi is taking a closer look at all the dynamics of that region. what aspect of this story are you sharing with us tonight. >> well, this complexity. the idea that you look at all these countries that were formerly parts of the soviet union, and you would think they are all like poland is i have been showing you poland that they want to push back, they are backing more sanctions, well you go to other places like bulgaria, and the story is different, take a look. >> this is a familiar site, for many living in eastern europe. soviet style monuments are everywhere,

bulgaria's fifth largest city, cemeteries honoring red army soldiers off a game into a shared history and legacy with moscow. >> in fact, russia has tied to nearly every part of eastern europe thanks to energy, economics and russian speakers and enclave who spread out across the region. some fear a president could you pro-russian groups in eastern europe to further destabilize the region. the point is you don't necessarily they have the economic -- the economic strangle hold. getting them to back off

is going to be a lot more complicated than it ayer poos to be. >> i can't wait to see the rest of the reporting on this. real money, coming up at the top of the hour here. the national rifle association, took a rare loss on election okay. this new law, some call it the strictest gun law, and the reality is this law and efforts to duplicate are now spreading all across the country, we have learned there are four other states to do what happened in washington. some gun owners in washington state, are fired up. annette is a six time u.s. rifle team champion.

>> my palmer rifle that i shoot for the u.s. team, she led a campaign against ballot initiative 594. >> fight 954 waists resources on something that will not make washington safer. >> 594 was designed to plug loopholes in gun laws by mandating background checks for private arm sales and gun transfers. on election day, in a landslide. almost 60 to 40%. did the nra underestimate this? >> i think they did. and now they have a huge huge battle on their hans. because lit spread to other states. this is a cancer, seattles are a test bed for this. >> so what -- you can hear from many of these advocates for no gun laws, what they are saying is that this is a cancer, they fear it can

spread across the nation and tony that's with very good reason, there are more than two dozen states that have some sort of method to puttishen shoes like this in the hands of voters. >> wait a minute here, adam, washington state here, they have legalized marijuana in washington state, they have a $15 an hour minimum wage. >> right. >> this plays there, what about in more conservative country? what about in the south, what about in georgia or mississippi? right, or many states that have ballot initiatives. we are talking about the sun bolt, the rocky states. >> yes. >> is arizona there's an effort to duplicate this, it will be on the ballot, in nevada. and national polling on this issue, sits at 70-80%. i this i the question is what will the polling look like in nevada, especially once this campaign ramps up, because as you know the nra, they put their money towards individual candidates, now they need to rethink their strategies.

good stuff, appreciate it, you can see more of adam may's reporting tonight on america tonight that's coming up at 9:00 eastern time. now that we are getting more details we are getting a better idea of reactions and people who will be impacted that's coming up next. also more information about the man who opened fire on a college campus this morning.

pram will outline steps he is taking on his own to change the nation's immigration system. the president is expected to protect about 5 million people from deportation. they are parents in the country illegally, but whose children are u.s. citizens or permanent

residents. hide candy joe castro, who can be among those impacted by the president's plan. >> this expected announcement was the talk of the breakfast table this morning. in the kitchen. now this is a family who lives north of dallas, we were there with them for breakfast, the mother and fathers had been living in the united states for nearly 20 years. their daughter was six when she crossed the border, and then they went on to have two other children born here in the u.s., who are citizens. now the mother and father, they speak english meanly, waiting on tables, even being a d.j. at a nightclub, working two jobs to make ends meet, and this is how they put their hope for what they will hear tonight. >> really -- mr. obama, really a big relief. probably all-americans, they know what is happening.

some people probably think it is nothing, or we are just like nothing. but we are people. we are human, we are the same. for this family is granted some sort of help the change would be incredible for their life for the details they have to live, when you are -- you cannot get on a plane, you cannot even drive long distances for fear of encountering immigration inspection chien points. and joining us now into the reform plan. correspondent joining us from los angeles and

republican strategist pa tina, good to see you, it's been a while, let me start with you. you know we are hearing all kinds of pretty heated rhetoric, from the gop in response to what the president is likely to announce. >> what do you expect the gop response to be? are we talking about lawsuits? what the president is likely to do tonight? >> we aren't completely sure, because we don't know everything the president is going to do. we have heard everything from a potential lawsuit. to his authority. so clarification or acting on congress. the scoop and size is very big. so i have heard republicans will do

anything from asking the courts of clarification. or doing man moves like holding back some of his. nominations. the thing i have heard also that is off the table, they tonight want to talk about shut down, so those kind of things it's not the right way there's other things to do to talk if the president is doing the right thing, we all agree that immigration is broken. but is this the right way to get a fix. >> what's your take on this? the president certainly has the authority to do what he is going to do tonight, is that the way you read it as well? >> i do, i think constitutionally he does. there are reasons to be able to challenge it. it is broad sweeping. he does have the executive authority to do it a because i will take

a long time to get through the courts and be, how seemly if seemly is in fact the opposite of unseemly, how seemly is it for the republican party to spend so much time fighting this when we are looking at elections again, we don't know exactly what he is doing, but we get a gist of what he is doing, and it does seem within his powers. >> is i have been trying this on a particular of folks. senator todd colburn, said earlier today, you are going to see, but you could see instances of anarchy, you could see violence, look, here is the question. is immigration such a hot button issue, right now, that the thought of the president taking this kind of action to essentially based on what we know, defer more

deportations might actually lead to violence. >> no, i think what colburn was talking about, is that we saw in the election, it was very clear that voters cared about two things. jobs in the economy, and grid lock in washington. and when you talk -- when you do polling across the country, there's really a sense that washington has run amuck, and they are very concerned about the president taking unilateral action, moving without congress, and i think that's what he is talking about. so people are very frustrated with this president, and what he is doing, and i think that's what you are are talking about. immigration is a side issue. it is more about presidential authority, does he have the authority. i agree that republicans have to be very careful in how they move forward. it has to be about the president's authority, do they have the authority to do this, unilaterally -- in general, people agree that we have to do something. everyone i have talked

to, when i was working with the national republican congressional committee, people wanted to pass immigration reform. southernly the house and the senate as well, in terms of not being able to get along and get something done. >> there's a third thing, which is the president. that's what people were voting on. but you know, it is. it is the grid lock, and another thing that we -- not yet mentioned is the fact that there was a senate bill on immigration that was passed over almost two years ago. or a year and a half ago, and it never made it through the house.

this executive order, whatever it is tonight, the funding of this is not something that's within congress' reach. >> one more for you, how much time, really, does the new republican controlled congress, have to. co one a real plan? a real plan that deals with the 11 million people in the country who are undocumented right now? >> i think in general we see is this' about six months. from about january to summer, where this congress is going to have time to focus on these big idea plantses. after that we have already seen 2016 fever moving around, it will get really big in the summer, and in going into august. so we have a window to

get these ideas passed. i am just nervous with the president acting unilaterally, he is making people in congress, this newly elected leadership, the newly elected leaders poke them in the eye, saying you are not important, i don't care what you want to do, it is going to make it hard to pass. the president needs both house and senate, in these final years of his term, to finish his legacy projects. clinton did a great job of working with a republican congress, i don't know if obama will be able to do that now with this action. >> i know you would like to respond, but i am out of town. >> well, tony. >> i did want to respond, so long as you know that. >> all right. there is our political correspondent, and republican strategy. with us from miami, appreciate it. both of you, thank you. >> no matter what president obama announces tonight, it may only last

as long as he is the sitting president, inside story ray swarez has a take here. more on what effect an executive order is going to have. yo know i have been covering the on going match since the debate over the simpson law that led to ronald ragan's amnesty for long time illegal residents. i have learned the big simple details engang the public, be uh the real business gets done in small print, in these policies. for example, when the president postpones legal action, against undocumented people, what will the cut off date be? every month, he moves the deadline back in time, the smaller the number of people his new policy will effect, if he pick as relatively recent date, a large number of people will be able to stay at least as long as the president is in house. if he extends the ability to stay for -- and this is a number that has been

floating around washington for the last few days just over 5 million people, they will be able to work, they won't face deportation, butly that qualify for benefits. healthcare guarantees disability, if they get hurt on the job. if they are eligible, the backlash will be even more ferocious than it already promised to be. but having said that the blast is already coming from republicans pretty hot. before they even know the detates they are saying are going to make them angry. once they take the seat in the fist week of january, only about six weeks from now what part of congress' considerable constitutional power over spending will it use to thwart or try to punish the president for moving on his own? inside story, and you can watch the president's speech live tonight.

and stories from those effected by the president's plan that's 8:00 pacific, there are other stories today, inesse is here with those for us. >> classes are canceled after a shooting on campus, police say former opened fire earlier this morning. police when he refused to drop the gun. >> is anxious student whose were trapped in the library poohses video as they waited to find out when it would be safe to leave.

despite a outcry from students. they have voted to raise tuition at ten campuses. students protests outside the meeting in san francisco today. tuition will go up by as much as 5% a federal appeals court has ruled the only abortion clinic in mississippi can remain open. admitting privileges at hospitals has been ruled unconstitutional. the state could appeal to the u.s. supreme court the move to make a town in massachusets the in the nation to ban all tobacco sales has been dropped. the board of health voted 2-1 last night to drop the idea. >> i thought that that was great news. >> critics were concerned

it would take business away from the town, tony. >> all right, see you later in the program. mass protests have started in mexico as the public angry, at the government, and that anger is growing over 43 students who have now been missing for nearly two months time, people were encouraged to skip school and work, al jazeera rob reynolds is live for us. rob, look, that's a pretty sizable group behind you there. >> and thaust a fraction of the tens of thousands of people who are gathered here. i don't have a good crowd estimate, but i know there are many many people who are standing right now,en on the main boulevards that goes right through the middle of downtown mexico city.

it has been closed off, and the marchers are gathering. i am just going to step aside so that our photograph kerr show you, a it willle bit more of what's going on in the scene here people have been chanting calling for justice. invoking the 43 student whose were killed. there's a lot of anger and the signs and banners reflect that. tony the people that we have spoken to here, tell us almost unanimously that what they want is justice, they want an end to a culture of -- and a system of impunity. they want an end to the interlinking corrupt officials. and security forces.

and most of all they want to know exactly what happened to those students but not just students. because there are tens and tens of thousands of people who died over the past ten years in mexico's gun wars and tens of thousand whose are missing. so people are really expressing a lot of emotion of simply having had enough, and being fed up. >> rob reynolds for us in mexico city. good to see you, thank you. the entertainment world is remembering the legacy of acclaimed hollywood director he was something. nichols died today at the age of 83, during a seven decade long career, he became one of a select few to win an oscar, a tony, an emmy, and a grammy. he is best known for directing the graduate. remember that the classic coming of age film starring dustin hoffman.

well, he made it laugh, everybody that laughed where mike nichols helped them laugh owed him a debt of gratitude. i think i could owe him a couple of years. his has made me laugh so. i respected mike's work enormously. enormously. >> he has survived by his wife, journalist dianne sawyer as well as three children and four grandchildren. coming up on al jazeera america, defective air bags that killed at least five people and injured dozens more, today they went to congress trying to get them out of american cars.

hillary clinton may have competition if she decides to run for president. an exploratory committee, the senator from virginia announced his intentions in a video today, web is seen as a long shot for the nomination, because he has not yet made appearances in early key primary states. exploding air bags made by the japanese company took center stage on capitol hill today. tense exchanges questioning why it took years to deal with a problem that has been linked to at least five deaths. nearly 8 million cars have been recalled but massachusets senator says that's not enough. he calls the air bags a ticking time bomb, and says any car or truck with them, should be recalled. >> about whether they understand what is causing these air bags to explode. more than 14 million vehicles worldwide have now been recalled and

involve some ten car companies. lawmakers think those recalls do not go far enough it explodes with such force, that this metal shreds. >> senator bill nelson holding an air back inflater calling it unacceptable, that a device designed to save living is killing and maiming drivers. such as stephanie. badly injured in a crash in her honda civic last year, when shrapnel exploded through the air back, and into her face. >> since that day i have endured multiple surgeries i have more to go still, my vision will never be the same. ly never be the same. yours very similar to those suffered by cory in a crash in his honda civic. >> all i remember is a big explosion, i sounded like a shotgun, and my right side went black. pitch black. >> the car was moderately

damaged in a low speed collision in may near orlando florida. a three-inch shard of metal flew out and sliced into hi face. and eye. >> and i realized i was bleeding out of my face. i went down to sit on the curb and i thought i was going to die right there on the curb. >> shown here before his accident, is now blind in his right eye. we are deeply sorry. >> but lawmakers wanted answers asking two of the officials auto makers honda and chrysler, if they support the broader air bag recall, now demanded by the government. all hedged with tekada clearly not onboard. >> do you support the new nationwide recall. >> it is hard for me to

answer yes or no. >> it is not hard for you to answer yes or no. also on the hot seat, the government agency in charge of auto savety. credit sized for not pursuing the problem, for not being forthcoming. we will hold them account to believe the full extent. >> a little solace to those who have already been harmed. >> yeah, i hope it don't happen to anybody else. >> a thought echoed by stephanie. >> i asked the committee, to do everything in it's power to make sure every vehicle with a deforgettive air bag is made safe. >> lawmakers promise to try to do that, they want them expanded to include not driver's side, but passengers side as well, and they also say car companies should immediately provide any concern driver with a rental car or a loaner car, at no coast.

his a stark reports for us, fifa officials stay with me here, are reviewing the fifa report that said fifa, did nothing wrong in world cup bidding. where is michael eaves when you need him, oh, he is up next. also, accusations of corruption against mexico's president, and first lady. going viral.

2022 world cups will take place, is again in question. just one week after soccer's world governing body, announced that corruption cases against russia and qatar were closed. michael raves is here now with the latest. >> we thought we were beyond this. >> yes. >> anything but at this point, the issue stems from report by the head investigator fifa's ethics committee, on the process in which russia won the bid to host the

2018 world cup. to host in 2022. today, garcia and the committee top judge agreed that a third independent party should review that report. so, they will determine if some, or all, of the reports will be released to the 28 members of the executive committee. now the compromised is a small step toward making the report public, something people in the soccer community have been requesting from the very beginning. now what we do know is that it clears russia of major violations in the bidding process. but there may be violations from individuals that we don't fully know about, in fact, garcia initiated the process against the people he says committed ethics violations, turn it over, and most of it to the executive committee, lets them make a decision with better information, but a number of people within the sport, are critical of the response to allegations of

corruption. three whistle blowers including this man, who came out today, said they provided first hand information about vote schemes. another of the three, who works on the bid before losing her jobben says she has faced threats since coming forward. >> i am tired of fifa's culture of secrecy. i have been introduced to a whole new culture of paranoia, of fear. and of othreats. it's not going to change. i will always look over my shoulder for the rest of my life. >> now she signed an affidavit saying that her claims that qatar official tries to buy votes were false, now she says she was coerced into doing that, officials say their bid has always been above board, and

allegations have been investigated and dismissed. so many layer's to this, but people are saying that fifa tries to turn it's head, now it's maybe on the verge of blowing up in their face. >> stepladder. >> the buck stops somewhere, doesn't it? >> it is supposed to. >> appreciate it. mexico's president and first lady, are end thing off accusations of corruption, critics question the origins of a house built for the family in mexico sit's most exclusive neighborhood. pretty posh stuff. yeah, tony, the mention is valued at $7 million an mexican journalist discovered it was registered to a company with massive government contracts. well, this week, the first lady former actress, recorded a message explaining how she acquires the mansion. >> she said she is paying

for the house, with her own money. she also said she earned $10 million during her last year at the network the first lady ends by saying she will now sell the home but many mexicans don't believe the explanation, with one person wrying do they really think we are that stupid. the another one saying and the oscar goes to angelca. and a popular actress tweeted why did i leave for l.a. if they paid so well? yeah. the president's office says there is no conflict of interest here, because the first lady is not a public servant, and she doesn't deal with government contracts. >> and to this point, we haven't heard anything from the president. >> oh, the president even has disclosed his own assets. he says he has nine properties and they are

saying that there's no conflict of interest here. >> is that is all of our time for this news hour, real money with ali velshi is next, on al jazeera america. flap awaiting awaiting america. also plus poland's taking a stand right in the shadow of russia. i'll talk to the
