in india leads to news criticisms of the american company uber. this is al jazeera america, live from new york city, i'm tony harris. we begin tonight with the u.s. preparing for major backlash at a greater security risk. the white house says u.s. embassies are on alert relating to u.s. o torture techniques. there could be dangerous consequences for americans around the world when that happens. lisa stark has more from washington. >> the still classified report from the cia is already drawing a very public reaction. >> these are patriots. and whatever the report says, if it dmshes the repor diminishes n

the united states it is way beyond. >> harsh interrogation techniques. allegedly used against al qaeda prisoners which included sleep deprivation, confinement in small places and humiliation. also found the cia went beyond the law in those interrogation methods and even lied to congress, the department of justice, and president bush. >> to say that we relentlessly over a period of time lied to congress over a program that wasn't doing any good that beggars the imagination. >> enhanced interrogation program. >> even then the program had proven its worth that i did not

in conscience, bob, in coffin conscience i couldn't take it off the tabling. >> possible backlash overseas. committee chairwoman dianne feinstein to express concern for american intelligence and diplomatic workers abroad. >> this is a terrible idea. our foreign partners are telling us this will cause violence and deaths. >> telling the los angeles times sunday, feinstein said, anybody who reads this is never going to let this happen again. lisa stark, al jazeera, washington. >> coming up a little later, we will get into the security and political reports that are making this so controversy. nato is ending its

afghanistan occupation. 13,000 troops will be detained to train troops. the men receiving medical treatment and will be integrated into uruguayan society if they choose to stay. daniel schwindler reports on the road to resettlement. >> uruguay is so far from the six men's' homes which for now they can't return to. but it is also a long way from guantanamo and that for them is what counts. they're being treated at two hospitals before their resettlement program begins. >> he's hopeful now that he's outs and he's free with proper medical care here in uruguay he

can get better and rebuild his life. >> uruguay is providing the men with education, housing and will help them to find work. for now they are just relieved to be free with a burning desire to be reunited with their families. the uruguayan authorities are doing all they can to help these men rebuild their lives away from home. uruguayan president jose mohika, himself a former prisoner. >> that's not a prison it's a kidnapping den, because a prison needs some kind of law, some kind of prosecutor, a minimum reference to the law that happen that place has nothing like that. >> formed in 2002 to detain so-called terror suspects,

according to the human rights group reprieve the u.s. has acknowledged hoarding 779 people at the camp to date. most of them were never charged. six years after president obama pledged to close the facility, there are still 136 inmates. 67 of whom are cleared for release. but the u.s. authorities say they can't send them home because of security concerns. or their home countries are unwilling to take them back. >> when you talk to a prisoner in guantanamo about their future, they raise an eyebrow and say, i have no future. i'm happy to say this is what i'm going to talk to him about, i'll sit down and ask him what he wants to do. >> when president obama signed the executive order to close the camp many believed it would take months and not years but the process has proved to be arduous. too dangerous to be set free,

they really stand in the way of the closure of guantanamo bay prison. daniel schwindler, al jazeera, montevideo, uruguay. >> despite the death in yemen, chuck hagel says it will not change its policy. pierre korkie died. the justice department announced new rules in an effort to curb profiling. over the deaths of black men by police officers. that should be at the hands of police officers. libby casey joins us from the white house. libby give us the new

guidelines. >> reporter: tony, these rules have always been the priority of attorney general eric holder but some say they leave gaping loopholes. the new guidelines come in the wake of anger sparked at the death of three young african american boys from ferguson, missouri, new york city and cleveland. >> it undermines the public trust ultimately but makes us not good at what we do. >> the rules expanded to include national origin, religion, actual orientation, gender or yearngender identity. but can include characteristics including race or gender when those match a suspect. only cover federal law enforcement and don't apply to local police unless they're part

of a federal task force. the tsa can still use profiling at airports. parts of u.s. customs and border protection can profile on border and other ports of entry and the program that collects information called mapping can continue. the new rules don't go far enough. >> it's a bit of policy sleight of hand. at the end of the day, it's just that it doesn't fly all of the agencies that profile people. >> but the attorney generalling says more. >> certainly, with regard to the law enforcement agencies that work with us. again you know those components that are part of the department of homeland security will have -- they have unique needs and things that they're going to have to work their way through. >> reporter: to make sure the

new rules are followed the department of justice is calling for training and accountability checks. now even though local law enforcement isn't included in this federal officials hope that it serves as a model for other police groups. of course tony, it is local law enforcement in ferguson, new york city and cleveland who are under such scrutiny right now.so we'll see how much of an effect it has in the short ter term , . >> okay libby casey in washington, tony. roxana saberi is here roxana. >> over the last 24 hours some of the protests have grown tense and violent. new york surprised commuters on monday morning temporarily shutting down a bridge during rush hour. in las vegas protesters staged

what they call a die-in. across the country protesters speaking out for eric garner are different ages and races, including these students who staged a sit in at the university of michigan library. >> the goals of this are three things. one for us to be seen. two for us to be heard and three for us to be respected. >> reporter: demonstrators have been using social media sites like facebook, twitter and tum tbloatumblr to organize. rocks were thrown at stores in berkeley california. >> breaking it, other people with mostly covered faces of course and then people started walking up and taking some of the bottles. >> some of the protesters have called for an appointment of a spebl prosecutor to oversee police misconduct.

in new york, new york governor andrew quoam, was asked to present is a special prosecutor. in a letter wrote all too often the families of the victims and the members of their communities are left with a belief that our criminal justice system is both unjustly targeted and inexplicably failed them. protesters even have plans for what they call a royal shutdown in brooklyn at prince william and dutc and duchess kate's basketballing game. >> at lee 179 people were killed by on duty nypd officers, of them 27% were unarmed but over that entire 15 year period only three officers were actually

indicted. now the debit of eric garner is bringing back some painful memories for iris baez. officer fran levote was indicted but a judge acquitted him of the crime. earlier i spoke to iris baez about her reaction to the grand jury decision in the eric garner case. >> i wasn't surprised i knew it was going to happen. >> why? >> because the d.a. in that town everybody in that city has an uncle or father or brother who was a police officer. >> because they work together? >> they work together. i'm not asking for an independent prosecutor but not that has any ties with the police. he needs to be independent. >> maybe in the city, maybe in the state anywhere.

>> anywhere. >> right right right, mayor deblasio says more training for cops are coming. do you have faith in mayor deblasio being able to carry this out? >> 20 years ago, pataki told us that the officers were going to get training, 20 years ago. there's going to be a major change, and even the d.a. said, heads are going to roll, whose head is going to roll? i'm still waiting for heads to roll. it has to be within. within the department. inside the man's office. inside the governor's office. inside not from outside. we're not going to do nothing outside but just give them more leeway to put us in jail, find out who you are, make up a story, because the first thing they put out is, your record. of the victims. >> right. they do that in your son's case? >> yes, they try to do everything. but the only thing they could

come up with was, he had asthma. he had asthma when he was a baby. the asthma went when he was about 15. >> and that was a contributing factor -- >> right, he was laid down on the ground like garner and they put his hands behind him and they dragged him. >> do you think demghtse demonss will be effective and bring about change? >> it will be asking questions but really not do anything. >> well, the mother of a 12-year-old boy shot and killed by a cleveland police officer says she wants the police officer to be convicted. tamir rice, what else did tamir rice's family and the individuals representing the families have to say about that? >> tony, tamir rice's family has

hired benjamin crump. today crump said he strongly believes that this is a case that should bypass the grand jury because in his opinion the surveillance video shows that there's enough evidence to indict the officers in this case right now.today we also heard from tamir's mother who shed more light on what she says allegedly happened moments after she learned that an officer had shot her son two times. tamiria rice says her 14-year-old daughter was handcuffed and tackled by police. take a listen. >> as i was trying to get through to my son the police told me to calm down, or they will put me in the back of the police car. and so of course i called down. and i asked the police to let my daughter go and they wouldn't at that time. and i asked them, you know,

what's going on? and they wasn't telling me anything but just calm down, calm down. >> reporter: and last week the justice department released a report that shows that the cleveland police department, the officers there, have a history of using expensiv competitive e. sweeping changes are expected tony. >> not to indict, how likely is that to happen? >> i reached out to the cleveland police department and had no reply. when it comes to the city of cleveland it always goes to a grand jury tony. >> bisi, thank you. oil prices keep dropping great news when you fill up but the big picture is much more complex. ali velshi is up next to explain how it's reshaping the global economy. plus: noncompete clauses in the

fast food industry you ever heard of such a thing? one national chain says its workers can't work in the same business for two years after leaving. economic ruin >> this is because of a corrupt deal to an assigned to basically support two dodgy businessmen an israeli one, and an egyptian one... >> al jazeera exposes those who made a fortune betraying an entire nation >> you don't feel you owe an explanation to the egyptian people? >> no...no.. >> al jazeera investigates egypt's lost power on al jazeera america

>> oil prices dropped to their lowest price in almost five years today. and most analysts are seeing low energy prices as the new normal. "real money"'s ali velshi joins us now. ali good to see you. what are the implications of this for us sir? >> stick around and they'll be giving it to you free. lowest level since july of 2009, when i had hair. now the price of oil dipped below $63 a barrel.

during today's trading. tony you didn't have hair. >> no, no. >> down 41% since june, most analysts expect the prices to keep dropping. 60, $70 may be where it settles. they're thinking it could dip as low as 35 or $45 a barrel by the middle of next year. i think there are a lot of people who think that is good news but there are a lot of people for whom this is very, very bad news. >> ali, at some point you have to bring back the old oil barrel. >> not even worth the weight of carrying it at some point. >> why now? >> there are some reasons, global demand are down, russia is slowing down economically, asia both india and china is slowing down, and global supply is up in part because of the success of america's energy boom but oil was above $100 for so long that it causes everybody to dig for oil.

in my west side apartment in new york i'm digging for oil. at this price you'll do it. maybe a million barrels a day more supply than we need every day. they can move the price of oil by cutting or not cutting, they say they're not cutting output. we have extra oil. once you get down to something with a 6 in front of it, it starts affecting the budgets of iran, venezuela, and it also affects the budgets of those drilling for oil in north dakota, they might decide to pull the plug on it because at $63 you're not making that much money. >> what about the big plan for tonight at 7:00 sir? >> talking about uber, the city insist, in portland, oregon, insist its service is illegal.

we're going to portland, oregon to talk about what's going on on the ground there. >> ali velshi, "real money," 7:00 p.m. on al jazeera america. fast food workers that are forced to sign noncompete contracts, the case at joijts, y john's, the national sandwich chain. >> this is the jimmy john's blt, nothing that anyone would consider a mystery unless you are jimmy john's. to them this simple switch is a trade secret to be protected at all costs, for kaitlin and emily, that mindset has placed a virtual lock on their job prospects. a salaried employee she says her hourly pay amounts to less than minimum wage. until recently, kaitlin 25 also

worked at a local jimmy john's. we met them at a nearby restaurant. >> we wouldn't be able to work here. >> you wouldn't be? >> no, end of discussion. they have a list of sandwiches. >> kaitlin's talking about this. an agreement which all jimmy john's workers must sign. for two years it forbids former employees from working for a competitor within sandwiches if that business is within three miles of a jimmy john's store. >> even nonfast foot joints you're not allowed -- >> yes, waiting tables is pretty much out of the question i guess. >> and is this a place you'd like to work? >> yes, i'm sure people would tip well here. >> under the jimmy john's agreement, kaitlin and emily can't work for any competing food establishment in any capacity. not just as an employee but in positions such as owner, partner, investor, administering, agent or advisor.

this map of the chicago area shows just how limited their job prospects are. anywhere there's red they can't work for a competing business. >> i can't work at a gas station. i can't work at a mom and pop shop. i can't work at subway, panera, anything like that, anything that basically serves sandwiches. >> reporter: jimmy john's declined our request for an on camera interview. we followed up with an e-mail asking why junior employees have to sign these agreements. they declined that request as well. >> i want to try oleave and try to find something -- try to leave and try to find something different but i'm scared to leave. i don't know if i'm able to find anything else. we're being treated like we're property of the company essentially like, we can only work there and all the experience that we have there is useless anywhere else. you're just a tool for them.

>> christoph is with us now. christoph why would jimmy john's have people sign, this noncompete is unheard of isn't it in this industry? >> it is practically unheard of in this industry. usually people asked to sign this are making six-figure salaries and they have access to incredible information about the company. these are practically kids, 21, 22 years old and they're making sandwiches. they're also making the same people that clean the floors sign these agreements and essentially it's a way of controlling them and a way to make sure that they don't try to negotiate for more money as they progress. >> as we were talking, i have incredible information about the way jimmy john's makes a blt. it's silly right at a certain point? interit sounds silly. >> it does. >> but at the end of the day it gets serious because these are often people just starting their careers these are menial labor jobs and they don't have a whole

lot of options and their experience is frankly let's just say sandwich making, how to make a blt. they can't work in other business he within three miles of jimmy john's. >> has this been tested in court? have jimmy john's tried to enforce one of these noncompete clauses in court? >> not yet, but technically these are people who want to be model citizens. they don't want to break a contract and they don't want that on their record that they did break a contract because they want a job in the future. >> and it hadn't been tested in court yet? interno. >> this will not stand! christoph appreciate it. thank you. for more on this story tune in to "america tonight," 9:00 p.m. eastern, 6:00 p.m. pacific. details about cia ainterrogation and fallout add clemson

university after a party called kripmas.

cripmas. cripmas >> american embassies and other u.s. interests overseas are bracing for potential security threats related to the release of a report on the cia's harsh interrogation techniques. the senate intelligence committee is set to release a 480 page executive summary. that will happen tomorrow. it details the torture on u.s. detainees. has sparked a reaction from my members of congress. >> chronicles a stain on our history that must never be allowed to happen again. >> when you have, again, people

who you know want to harm the united states, looking forward to getting ahold of this information. inflaming it to insight violence against westerners u.s. embassies and others that to me says we ought to be more cautious than that. >> so here's a look at what else you need to know about the interrogation report. the senate intelligence committee approved the study in 2009. it was completed in december of 2012. now that same month the committee voted to declassify a nearly 500 page executive summary and release it. that report cost nearly $40 million to produce. the history of the intrairgs program thinterrogationprogram,e and feivesse effectiveness to cs and the media. >> j.j. green good to see you.

how is this going to roll out? we are in essence going to get three sides to the story right? the senate majorities report, the senate minority report and then the cia's version of this correct? >> yeah. so what you're going to have is what the committee has been working on for past five years, on the $40 million and their version basically they're going to paint most likely an image of the cia in this program as acting as torturers. and engaging in water boarding and sleep deprivation, mind games, those kinds of things, that have been declared essentially torture. the government says it's not going to deal with it. minority report will most likely be 100 or so pages. and in their report they're going to talk about why this probably had to be done and the value of what it was, what it did, what it turned over, at the time frame. of course the cia is not going to be happy about it because it's going to paint a very

negative, nasty picture of them and leave them in a situation where they're going to have to either defend what they did, using this kind of program, or step away from it. that's really what this third side is going to do is leave them the opportunity to deal with it on their own terms. >> let me get to that in just a moment here. we learn in all of this tomorrow whether the three detainees tortured under the program provided information that helped identify a courier, right, who led the u.s. to osama bin laden. we learned that in all of this because that might impact how people view the reporting. >> good question, tony. let me put it this way: those people that actually look at this report and go through it page by page or section by section, and sort of connect it up with what happened in the 9/11 report that came out some years ago, and using if they

have any institutional knowledge of the event themselves using all three of those elements together to sort of do a cross section report of their own, they're going to find some pieces, some dots to connect in there. now, when you look at this from a realistic point of view it's not going to be a lot of new information. >> gotcha. >> it's not going to be a lot of things people didn't already know but it's going to shed some light on what took place, the process that took place and who was involved in the process. >> i see. >> and at the end of the day what we got from it. >> so help me here. did everyone on the senate intelligence committee know what was going on here? i'm talking about the techniques that were being used. or is the committee now saying, we didn't know exactly what was going on, and we learned more about the extent of the practices in the course of our investigation? >> another good question, tony. that's why you do your job so well you study the stuff and you

know the questions to ask. so yeah, it is that, it is the nuances of this whole thing. >> okay. >> this appears to be when you talk to the folks that are out there that have been following this for years, something that everybody in the senate that was involved in the intelligence side of things knew about. because the cia had to come and get permission to do these things, the government essentially approved i.t. it yow and they couldn't leave the members of congress out. if you knew about this then why do you have a problem with it now? well, maybe they learned some things in the process that they were unsettled about, as you alluded to in your question. maybe there were some things that took place they didn't know they were going to get those things as a part of the deal. i think when the report comes out you are going to find some nuanced detail there. but at the end of the day that is what people are going to say they knew about it so it was

incumbent upon them to read through it and figure out what was going to happen earlier and to kind of prevent all these things from taking place down the road. >> j.j. appreciate it. we have with us this is and al jazeera political correspondent michael shore. talk to me about the timing of this report. why is it coming out tomorrow? >> it's coming out tomorrow because the democrats ros lost e senate and dianne feinstein will lose her position. when january starts most likely richard burr will be the chairman of the committee and he certainly won't be prone to do what they're going to do tomorrow. >> so david, i'm assuming from that answer that the man who comes in, mr. burr who comes in

as the head of this committee would not see the conclusion that dianne feinstein drew here, that what happened here is a stain on our history. >> well tony what's going to happen tomorrow is everybody's going to refight this question of whether water boarding is torture or whether it's helpful or not. you may get more information about the extent that the cia used torture and didn't tell the bush administration, but for all those americans who say water boarding is effective, there may be information for them. wait a second this is torture, we're getting that information, the report will also show that in some instances it produced information that wasn't helpful. so everybody is going to be able to find something out of this. >> let me ask you michael shore, will there be more about water boarding, will we learn that the program led to deaths that detainees were actually killed because of the use of these

techniques? here's what i'm driving at. if that is case, and there are indications that that might be the case, how does that not lead to calls for prosecutions of those who authorized the program? and that would mean bush era officials including the vice president, wouldn't it? >> well you know that's -- first of all that is always should remember, none of the three of us on this phone call have seen the report. but i mean it's a great point. where people will go with this. it remains to be seen. already tomorrow, the cia is launching a website, ciasavedlives.org or dot-net and that's going to be a justification for what they were doing. a lot of americans have made up their mind on water boarding, i

suspect we'll hear things that go beyond water boarding in the report that we see. i think it is going to make people pretty uncomfortable and not just about water boarding. >> and to michael's point, eric holder, there may be more pressure on him and he says no, we're not going to launch prosecutions against bush officials and a lot of people will say, why not? >> david schuster and michael shore, appreciate it. we'll keep david schuster right here because we've got to get to power politics right now. republicans are rejoicing today after the senate runoff in louisiana. today david schuster is back with more details on that. david. >> yes, tony, the race in louisiana is the final nail in the coffin. democrats didn't gape enough ground in 2014 to bury

themselves. bill cassidy won over mary landrieu, the gop will have 54 senators, the next congress in january. the democratic cause o caucus wl number 46,46 plus two. in victory cassidy spoke about the voters message this year. >> they sent the neafnlg they did not like the direction our country was going in. now you in this room our state is the exclamation mark on that message. we echo that that we want our country to go in a conservative direction. >> mary landrieu the outgoing chair of the senate energy committee was the democratic party's last statewide office holder from the deep south. >> let me briefly say that it has been nothing but a joy to serve this state for over 34

years. >> democrats suffered another embarrassing defeat in a run up of louisiana's sixth congressional district. former governor edwin edwards who served time for corruption, came up well short. reenrepublican graves bead beat, and when asked what he could do to do better, edwards said, well, not run. >> 73 years ago today when in the wake of the japanese attack on pearl harbor president franklin roosevelt addressed joint session of congress with the one of the greatest speech this history. >> yesterday, december 7, 1941,

a day that will live in infamy. >> 73 years ago today. >> thousands of mourners gathered for the funeral of former d.c. governor, marion barry. here is the current mayor, melvin gray. >> he helped get the finances under control and helped turn our metropolitan police department into an agency whose officers looked so much more like the people of the district of columbia yah, and ladies and gentlemen couldn't a lot of other cities learn that at this stage? >> marion barry, who served four terms as mayor and three terms on the d.c. city council died at the age of 78. rahm emanuel just kicked off his reelection campaign, former member of congress and president obama's white house staffer,.

>> whether we go back to the old chicago who only worked for some or continue moving forward and build a new chicago that works for everyone. >> emanuel's old boss president obama has just given an early holiday gift to federal workers. the president through executive action has directed that the federal government is closed on friday after christmas. meaning federal workers get a four day weekend. three months since former governor arnold schwarzenegger reveesed his -- >> ines. >> his official portrait. watch! >> there was a little problem there. the lapel pin which originally featured a photo of schwarzenegger's former wife maria shriver, was somewhat

smudged and had to be retouched. consider jerry brown's portrait. >> my father saw my portrait. he was angry, said you will never be elected to another office again. >> brown went on to win another office as governor, he will get a second portrait in a few years and hopefully not one that is so modern-like. ines can take over now. >> okay. news from around the nation. >> i necessary. >> that's what i get to be in place early. death of a prisoner, jerome merdow was found dead at rykers island earlier this year, his body had an internal temperature

of 103°. the heating system malfunctioned and no one checked on him for several hours. a one time executive in bernie madoff's company daniel bonventra was sentenced, and four other co-defendants will be sentenced in the coming days. bernie mad offpleaded guilty and is receiving a 120 year sentence. six people died when an executive jet crashed into three homes, three people were on board, three lived in the homes. witnesses say the plane had been circling overhead for a while before it went down. chain of car crashes set off by an accident in which a driver struck and killed a black bear. several cars pulled over to help

in the everglades area and another car crashed into the group of good samaritans. a bomb looked like it exploded after a fire schooled two apartment buildings in los angeles. parts of two major highways had to be shut down. more than 250 firefighters managed to put out most of the flames within 90 minutes. >> we have the intense heat that was affecting the freeway that was affecting the high rise. and to get resources and everything down here was very difficult. and then to know that a high rise is starting to take off behind you that is an extreme situation. >> no one was hurt, investigators are treating this as a criminal fire since foul play may have been involved. and pris willia prince william p to see president obama, before a stop to speak at the world bank.

kate met with new york city's first lady today at a child development center in harlem. >> very cool. >> right? the couple will attend a brooklyn nets basketball game. >> ines, appreciate it. pictures there, there they are again, they calling this a die-in right? >> die-in. >> happening in washington, d.c. where the protesters are on the streets, they've clearly blocked another major intersection there and this is all in response to the grand jury not returning an indictment in the eric garner case here in new york city. several blocks from the white house. oh, there's a baby involved too. sorry. so we'll keep an eye on this situation. can't see much of a police presence. see one police car. in the background there. and we understand that there are going to be a number of

demonstrations throughout country here certainly in new york and we understand in a number of other major cities across the country as we go into the evening hours here. we'll keep an eye on it, the traffic, maybe that is dupont circle. coming up on the program, the car service uber is now band in one city in india, because a driver raped a passenger. ines is back with the story.

>> a clemedz university attorney ha -- a clemsonuniversity attors apologized, a party was held at a private residence theme, robert ray joins us from atlanta. whatever these people were thinking, certainly walked into a mess haven't they? >> they definitely have hypothesis why have a gang-themed party, it's ridiculous. you could see this picture showing up on social media,

their faces are blurred out to protect their identity. theyer dressed up like crips, a notorious gang that started in l.a. dared ago. thosdecades ago. those guys are bad dudes. insight the tempo on the campus is not great as far as race relations go, but they're in big trouble tony. >> what has been the university's reaction to all this? >> well, the president of clemson, as soon as this news broke on saturday, he came out on sunday morning and made sure he spoke to many of the students that were very upset what they saw on social media. he went one on one with them but also issued this statement. he said it's discouraging that so many events and issues are

causing division and making so many unwanted as this university, last night's cripmas party made more uncertainty about this. it's not a huge university but it's a big university as far as its academics and you know, clearly, those kids are in trouble, and some of the minority students want change because they just don't feel comfortable. can't blame them tony. >> robert ray for us in atlanta. israel's parliament has unanimously voted to disband, over the direction of the government, prime minister benjamin netanyahu fired two of his ministers after they openly disapproved of his policies. could derail peace talks with the palestinians. uber is now band in new delhi

after a woman claimed she was raped by one of its drivers. the driver drove his passenger to her destination then raped her. ines is back with that story. ines. >> some people are demanding that uber do background checks, human beings not just a market to further your economic cause. there is also a change.org petition asking uber for a seven year background check for all drivers in india like in the u.s. the company ceo said the company would help bring the perpetrator to justice. he also pointed a finger to uber, to establish clear background checks which are absent in india's license checks. some people say banning uber is not the answer, like marita saying, it's stupid to ban uber.
