>> part of what sets us apart is when we do something wrong, we acknowledge it. >> condemned by the commander-in-chief, a scathing report on the c.i.a. on enhanced interrogation techniques. reaction from around the world. >> the winners and losers in a budget deal that could prevent a government shutdown you. >> a breakthrough in autism? a treatment plan some say help

their children. >> a royal sendoff, will and kate's final day in new york city and why their trip home was not exactly fit for a king. >> boys. i'm dell walt. >> i'm steph sigh. the white house is taking extra precautions to protect americans overseas. tuesday's release of the c.i.a. interrogation report raising alarms of a potential global backlash. >> the report released by democrats in the senate intelligence committee about use of torture. lawmakers calling the findings far worse and more brutal than many even thought. president obama said the c.i.a.'s actions are contrary to u.s. values. >> some of the tactics that were written about in the senate intelligence report were brutal and as i've said before, constituted torture in my mind and that's not who we are. >> we have team coverage

tracking stoiter. how damaging was this report for the c.i.a.? >> it's not like the c.i.a. has a great record for transparency and forthrightness, but this report portrays the agency as misleading the public and lying to congress. >> the report shed light on aggressive techniques used on high value targets. >> they were deprived of sleep for days, in one case, seven and a half days, over a week with no sleep. usually standing or in stress positions. at times, with their hands tied together over their heads, chained to the ceiling. >> take for example, the accused mastermind of the september 11 attacks, the senate intelligence committee's report outlines his treatment at a c.i.a. overseas

black site code named cobalt. his waterboarding sessions evolved new sessions of near drownings. he was slapped in the face and body, forced to stand without sleep for hours and subjected to rectal rehydration as a means of behavior control. there was the treatment of the c.i.a.'s first detainee after september 11. repeatedly slammed against the wall, denied sleep, kept neighborhood and as previous reported, water boarded more than 80 times. the report describes that wore boarding as physically harmful, inducing convulsions and vomiting. at times, he became completely unresponsive with bubbles arising from his mouth. he never gave up much beyond what was already gleaned. >> all the information that we got from him that was actionable intelligence that help us to

disrupt the plots or identify terrorists, i believe we did it way before waterboarding and without the use of that controversial technique. >> the report details similar treatment for at least five detainees, subjected to rectal feeding, some forced to endure ice water baaths or told they would be killed. the c.i.a. told one detainee he would only leave in a coffin and threatened to sexually abuse the mother of another. >> the c.i.a. said in the past that it started interrogations with open non-confrontational approach and only escalated to harsh tactics when it was necessary, but this report paints a completely opposite picture, that c.i.a. interrogators were quick to go to brutal tactics right out of the box. >> let's talk about fallout. what risk does the release of this report pose to the embassies overseas and c.i.a.

operatives currently in the field? >> the u.s. is on high alert for a possible retaliation, but so far, there's no signs that this has provoked any sort of immediate backlash and there is some concern that despite the fact that this classified summary was redacted, the people may be able to piece together clues and figure out who some of these operatives are and that's something the c.i.a. is concerned about. >> are there plans to release the other pages of classified material? >> short answer, no. >> thank you very much. >> let's go to senior washington correspondent mike vic now. president obama seems to be treading a fine line in his response to this report. >> he certainly is. he he's treading that line between endorsing the report release which the white house and president have done repeatedly over the last days, although he did have his press secretary express reservations

about reaction overseas. he's walking a line between speaking out against practices that he, hips, has condemned and he formally ended one of the first things he did upon entering office was to end the practice of so-called enhanced interrogation techniques and close the black sites. he is condemning the professionals upon whom he relies so much. yesterday, the president spoke in an interview with a spanish language television network, telemundo. >> the c.i.a. set up something very fast without a lot of forethought to what the ramifications might be, that the lines of accountability that needed to be set up weren't always in place, and that some of these techniques that were described were not only wrong, but also counter productive.

>> the president saying that those techniques, the use of torture as he has called it in the past is contrary to who we are as americans. >> the c.i.a. has a lot to answer for based on this report. what is the message out of langly this morning? >> it's a mixed message. we saw a statement from the c.i.a. director acknowledging that this program was undertaken at its outset before the c.i.a. was close to being able to execute this in a way that was -- it just simply got out of hand is the implication of the statement. at the same time, brennan is defending the agency and he like other directors have countered the statement that nothing was produced:

>> of course, that is flatly contradictory to what the senate intelligence committee report concludes and directors are lining up to defend the agency, former directors and said they were never asked for their version of events. >> what about the fallout from the report, will the c.i.a. face restrictions from congress, will the president take additional against against any named in the report? >> it's unlikely that any will be held accountable by the u.s. government. it was last year that the president finally used the word tortured. we tourured some folks was the phrase used. they are vulnerable to the

charge of hypocrisy. the willingness to own up to our mistakes the president said, he is not going to hold anyone accountable. he made that clear from the outset of his administration. >> let's go to jim walsh now, jim, thanks for being with us. yesterday, senator john mccain had this to say about the report's release and the fact that it might lead to violence. >> will the report's release cause outrage that leads to violence in some parts of the muslim world? yes, i suppose that's possible, perhaps likely. sadly, violence needs little incentive in some quarters of the world today, but that doesn't mean we will be telling the world something it will be shocked to learn. >> richard burr, the incoming intelligence chair said the only thing gained by releasing the information was tarnishing the

reputation of form are president george w. bush. is he right? >> i think that's completely wrong. there are two big stories coming out yesterday, one was that there was torture used and it didn't produce anything really useful. there is a second and independent story line that arguably is more important, and that is that the c.i.a. lied to the white house, lied and misled congress, it misled the american people. it was almost rogue in this respect in this particular program, and even to the point of destroying videotape evidence. i think that when you have an agency that has broad license, given great discretion and works in a secret world, that is power that can be abused. the only thing that prevents that is checks and balances, having congressional oversight. when the c.i.a. lies to the oversight committee, that's a major problem. >> when you say that the c.i.a. may have been rogue, there are an awful lot of people that agree with you.

the agency itself is pushing back as if it is independent of the government itself. is it time for there to be major senate and house hearings on the c.i.a. and what it does, like we saw with the church report back in the 1970's? >> i think so, del. again, i don't want to cast too brad a brush here. i have friends who work in the intelligence community, several friends. they are dedicated patriotic americans as most people are. if you have people who are -- it's an organizational temptation that when you're given a lot of power that that power might be abused. this report is not only about the past, that is to say things that happened in years gone by, but doesn't take that much to connect the dots to what we recently heard on the n.s.a. spying scandal, surveillance scandal. you had a whole bunch of heads of intelligence come to congress, some of their statementses were misleading and untruthful with respect to the n.s.a. spying and then there were claims as in the case of torture that the n.s.a. spying

was able to stop a bunch of different threats and when you examine that, those examples fell apart. i think this is an ongoing issue. >> there has been tremendous pushback on the issue of whether torture was needed. my question is had these highjackers been white european mails as opposed to middle eastern men, would the u.s. have gone as far as it did to get the information? >> my guess is that the answer is yes, but my guess is the british, when they were battling the i.r.a. may well have engaged in tactics even though they were all europeans. i think the notion of the u.s. coming out of a major attack on 9/11, that sort of opened the door for this sort of behavior in response to that horrific attack, but i wouldn't be surprised if there were psychological studies that said once engaged, then some other factors such as race or

nationality might matter, although we won't know. >> thank you for being with us. >> we're going to have much more on this report throughout the next two hours, including a retired c.i.a. analyst and attorney for two guantanamo bay prisoners. >> breaking news out of israel, a senior government official died after clashes with israeli police. >> he was attending a rally northeast of ramallah. >> let's bring in nick shiv now in jerusalem. there are conflicting reports about what caused this death. what are you hearing? >> he was leading an event where they were going to plant olive trees, a protest against the israeli occupation on land that palestinians say was procured by israeli settlers illegally.

this group of people led by that the minister walked up to israeli soldiers, there was some kind of altercation, according to a reliable eyewitness. at some point, the israeli soldier either struck the minister or head butted him. we've seen video of him lying down, clutching his chest, having trouble breathing. the ambulance arrived 10 minutes, 15 minutes later and he died either in the ambulance on the way to the hospital or after he arrived in the hospital. >> what's been the response from pantaleo leaders? >> absolutely fury. this is not a normal incident when a minister gets killed. pantaleo president abbas has called it a barbaric act that cannot be tolerated, calling for national mourning. he said the israeli government bears full responsibility and

that the pantaleo leadership is weighing its response, including whether to suspend security with the israeli government. if that operation is suspended or halted, you will see most likely a large increase in violence in the occupied west bank. we do not know if that's the case, but they are clearly taking this seriously. >> thank you. >> a hostage freed back in paris this morning. the french president was on the tarmac, as well. he was kidnapped in mali along with another french man who was killed. it's not clear if a ransom was paid to secure his release. >> secretary of state john kerry asking congress to allow force to say track isil fighters around the world, saying it would be a mistake to allow them to have safe havens outside of

syria and iraq. he argued isil is an extension of the war that was started by osama bin laden. >> isil, dish is an extension of al-qaeda. >> john mccain pressed him on why the administration isn't protecting syrian rebels fighting along with the u.s. kerry said that conversation is classified, for which mccain responded "i'm sure those people who are dying would be happy to hear there are things we are doing that we can't talk about." >> president obama said the u.s. has offered mexico help in the investigation into those missing college students, but he stressed that mexico needs to strengthen its own criminal justice system. the 43 students disappeared in september. it's believed they were killed by corrupt local government leaders. so far, the remains of only one

victim have been identified. >> the supreme court ruling against amazon workers in a dispute overpay. the justices said the workers are not entitled to extra money for time going through security screenings. they happen after their workday and can take up to 25 minutes. the justices said the screenings were not critical to the job. >> make it stop, parts of oregon getting slammed by a strong storm system. rain and heavy snow are forecast for the area in and around reno. the winds are blowing, some areas near lake tahoe could get up to two feet of snow. >> it looks pretty bad. >> this is going to be another monster one. we had one that hit mostly california a couple of weeks ago, this is including the northwest in all of this, places like big bear mountain in washington, obviously mountain passes are going to get more snow as all of this comes in, but it's the amount of moisture and wind in general.

it's this brewing, see that go start to go spin up? look at how wide that cloud shield is, and all the moisture that that is bringing along with it. we are already starting to see heavy rain along the coastline and high winds. this is going to crank up to hurricane force in the 70 that mile per hour gust range from time to time. all these oranges that you see on your screen is because of high winds and because of high winds and snow in places like the sierra will blow that enough that we have blizzard warnings in effect. that's what really drives a blizzard is the blowing snow. then you have the rain aspect of this, moving more into california, some today and more into the next couple of days. northern california will get the brunt of that rain. some place, six to eight inches, same thing for some of those parts of the coastline up into the northwest. that is going to definitely cause us some flooding by the time we get through friday. >> two feet of snow in tahoe not necessarily bad.

>> they love it for the snow pack and for the skiers. >> the report on the c.i.a.'s use of torture having ripple effects across the world. >> critics say it leaves the u.s. vulnerable to backlash. we'll talk to a former army intelligence officer and c.i.a. analyst about lasting damage. >> dash cam video showing a man shot by police while he had his hands raised in the a ir. why this shooting has already been called justified. >> nobel peace prize winner awarded her medal these are live images where the 17-year-old is being honored this morning. teach for america is supposed to educate poor children. >> schools where kids need grade teaching the most. >> can unprepared teachers make a difference? >> why are we sending them teachers with 5 weeks of training?

>> malala cousafzai is the youngest to ever receive a nobel peace prize. >> she will lunch herself into politics with the dream of one

day becoming the prime minister of pakistan. let's go to oslo. tell us what's happening there now. >> malala used to say yes, the high profile campaign for girls education in pakistan and around the world, the youngest ever recipient of the peace prize, lets not forget this is a joint prize to malala and her partner sitting next to her, kailast, the campaigners in india against the use of child labor. lots of symbolism, malala from pakistan, kailash from india, lots of symbolism.

the prize will be awarded. they jointly share the $1.4 million prize. we expect to hear from both the winners in the next few minutes. >> the nobel prize center, i understand is also putting malala's school uniform on display. that's the uniform that she wore on the day that she was shot by the taliban. what has been the reaction to that move? >> it goes into the nobel peace exhibition on friday. it is the dress, the school tunic and the veil and trousers that she was wearing on that little mini bus in 2012 when a taliban member entered the bus and shot her in the head. she feels it's an important

artifact, reminds us of the personal price she's paid in her struggle to get her own education and she feels it's worth reminding people about her campaign, the need to make sure that girls throughout pakistan and the world in general get the prize. rather macabre reaction, a graphic illustration of that terrible, terrible day in 2012 when she nearly lost her life simply for trying to go to school. >> simon, live for us in norway, thank you. >> returning to our top story that c.i.a. torture study in the report on torture released yesterday was evidence that the c.i.a. received false information from al-qaeda suspects who were interrogated at black sites and that is passed this information on to the highest levels of government. buried in the report was this: a libyan national reported while in custody that iraq was supporting al-qaeda and providing assistance with

chemical and biological weapons. some of this information was cited by secretary powell and used as justification for the 2003 invasion of iraq. >> ray mcgovern was a former u.s. army intelligence officer and retired c.i.a. analyst. you co founded intelligence veterans for sanity. you heard that direct quote from a toot note in the report released yesterday. you have criticized in the past what you describe as the corruption of intelligence analysis before the iraq war. however does the senate report go in proving your point? >> a previous senate report concluded that the evidence used to justify in quotes, the war on iraq is unsubstantiated, contradicted, or even

non-existent. what was that evidence? part of it was gotten through torture. torture is no good in terms of getting reliable information. it's interesting you mentioned alibi, because if you want unreliable information, torture works like a charm. what he told not us, because we weren't expert enough in enhanced interrogation as he can meek, we had to send it to egypt to get a really exploited, and he confessed, confessed that he had sent many al-qaeda types up to baghdad to get trained in weapons of mass destruction, chemical weapons, explosives and so fort. not only powell, the president of the united states, george bush used that immediately before the senate and the house voted to give him authority to wage war in iraq, and at that point, 69% of the american people believed sadaam hussein had something to do with 9/11.

now powell talked a "sinister nexus." >> this is one example of intelligence that may not have been accurate. the c.i.a.'s use of enhanced interrogation techniques was the subject of this report. michael hayden said this: >> i talked to analysts, interrogators and at the end of the summer, i recommend to president bush that we reduce the program, that we reduce the number of techniques but that the program had been so valuable that we couldn't stop it altogether. >> he says, sir, that he believes the program was valuable. this was a program that of course was stopped by president obama after he took office. do you think that the u.s. is in any way more vulnerable because the c.i.a. cannot use waterboarding as a tactic of interrogation.

>> of course not, that's a kenard. senator feinstein said and the report says in writing that unfortunately, general hayden does not always speak the truth. he deliberately lied to them when they first learned about these enhanced interrogation techniques on september 6, 2006. that's the first time they learned bit and the president spoke later that day and advertised the efficacy of these techniques. one thing people don't realize, that on the same day, a very courageous head of the army intelligence unit said, three star general, no good intelligence has ever come from abusive practices. history shows that and the experience, the empirical experience of the last five years, hard years, also demonstrates that period. he was talking about 2006 minus

five, the five years of torture. >> who do you think should be held accountable? >> president bush in the first place. if you want to see the memorandum under which he authorized torture, february 7, 2002, we will not have to abide by geneva protections, we will treat al-qaeda and taliban people "humanely, as appropriate, and as consistent with military necessity." give me a break. geneva doesn't say that and allows for no person or no government to make an exception for themselves under these circumstances. the convention against torture -- >> we'll have to leave it there. >> all right. >> sir, we certainly appreciate your perspective on this this morning. >> he has a mind like an encyclopedia. >> we have details about the c.i.a.'s use of torture after the break. we'll talk to an attorney who

represented two prisoners held at guantanamo bay. >> what the mayor of ferguson said about moving forward. >> delta trying to change the way you get a seat on a plane. that is one of the stories caught in our global net.

>> you're looking live at oslo, norway. a few seconds ago, malala and kailash received their awards. >> uber facing the dan in india after a passenger was raped bay driver. now the taxi hailing app faces trouble in two u.s. cities. we'll explain. >> walking on water, the lake so clear, you can't even tell it's frozen. >> first a look at some of today's headlines. a top palestinian official is

dead after clashes with israeli troops in the west bank. he was taking part in a protest near the west bank. there are disputed reports about how he died. palestinian officials say an israeli soldier hit him with the butt of a gun, then he was tear-gassed. israeli has not yet commented. bernie madoff's long time assistant was sentenced. >> congressional negotiators have reached a deal to avert a government shutdown. it must be approved by the house and senate thursday. leaders are putting together a stop gab measure are to give themselves more time, just in case. senior correspondent mik mike vk

vicqueira back with us now. >> the fact that we're talking about this in mid december as opposed to christmas eave is a small victory in and of itself. this is the basic bill to keep the government running for the fiscal year, $1.1 billion, there are a lot of kitchen sink items in there, but basically, it funds the government. some notable items, five and a half billion dollars, the president asked for $6 billion to fight ebola in west africa. $5 billion to fight isil over the course of the next several months, 11 months or so. also, some long-time causes, some of them bordering on the trivial, some you may find outrageous. they are easing rules for truck drivers, the layover rules for truck drivers, loosening regulations on dealing in financial derivatives, blocking the new pot decriminalization

law here in washington, d.c. know john boehner has got to get his troops in line to get this passed by the thursday deadline before the government does run out of money. >> speaker boehner will need democratic votes to make this spending plan pass the house. what kind of pressure does mr. boehner face from the more conservative wing of his party? >> john boehner's been buying time. they are only funding the department of homeland security until february. why? because they control the immigration system in this country, and of course, republicans very upset, livid about the president's executive orders. they're going to try to stop it between now and february. >> thank you. >> stephanie, reaction continues to pour into the senate report on c.i.a. interrogations in the aftermath of 9/11. president obama called it brutal and not who the u.s. is as a

nation.

>> that is correct. the national bar association has actually petitioned the missouri department of public safety, wanting them, the department of safety to revoke his law enforcement license. at this point, there has not ban response from the department of safety, but they acknowledged they have received that complaint. a lot of people waiting for a response in response to that petition. >> the fallout continues. live for us in ferguson, thank you. >> new details this morning in the deadly crash of a plane in a home in maryland. the ntsb saying the flight data recorder stalled moments before the crash. all three onboard that plane were killed along with marie and

her two young sons inside the house, her husband issuing a statement saying no words can describe the enormity of his family's loss. >> california will be getting badly needed rain today. nicole mitchell is back with more on that. actually, more rain. >> we just had a big storm that covered most of california. this is starting more into the northwest. you can watch one band go through. this is the developing system. watch that start are to wrap up and how widespread that cloud field is. that means a lot of available moisture with it employee that is going to get worse. those are high winds warnings. moisture moving into california, higher elevation snow, we had blizzard warningings in effect for that, because that will drive that snow. here's the initial banding moving more into california,

northern parts later today, southern parts by friday. the heaviest amounts of rain will be in the northern portions of california, six to eight inches possible over the next couple days. flash flood concerns will definitely be a problem. >> ok, thank you. >> now that that report on that c.i.a. interrogation is out, will anyone be held accountable for misconduct? what it means for the agency and the country going forward. >> major milestone for detroit. we're live in the motor city with the details as the city takes yet another step in its bankruptcy chapter. >> a multi-billion dollars business with a dark side, the threats some women are receiving for speaking out on how women are portrayed in video games.

teach for america is supposed to educate poor children. >> schools where kids need grade teaching the most. >> can unprepared teachers make a difference? >> why are we sending them teachers with 5 weeks of training? >> and to raise their voices, the first places funding will go to is where my heart is, to girls schools in pakistan, especially in my home. >> you are looking live at oslo, norway. that is malala speaking just after she received her nobel

peace prize, saying that she is honored to have been chosen. she shares that prize with kailash satyarthi. >> a palestinian official is dead after clashes with with israeli troops. there are disputed reports over what led to his death. palestinian officials say an israeli soldier hit him with the butt of a gun, then he was tear gassed. israeli has not commented. >> roger goodell set to unveil new personal guidelines today. >> reaction coming in from around the world this morning to the release of the scathing report on the c.i.a.'s interrogation practices. the redacted report and

executive summary of which was made public was released by democrats on the senate intelligence committee and condemned the torture tactics used after 9/11. we have more on the global reaction to the senate intelligence committee report. what is the reaction to the story? >> even long time allies of the united states are speaking out about what the c.i.a. has been up to. the british prime minister david cameron couldn't have been more blunt. he said let's be clear, torture is wrong, torture has always been wrong. in a tweet some may find ironic, iran's supreme leader called the u.s. record on torture shameful, writing: poland's president

confirming the country hosted a site. it offered a site for a secret prison but did not authorize the harsh treatment of inmates. china said the u.s. is neither a role model nor qualified judge when it comes to human rights, writing the u.s. should clean up its own back yard first and respect the rights of other countries to resolve their issues by themselves. >> china's human rights record has come under fire, as well, but clearly varied reaction and general condemnation. >> it is an opportunity tort diplomats to hit back in the united states at a time when it's a little bit down. >> a top u.n. official calling for members of the bush administration to be prosecuted. a special envoy on human rights said the u.s. is legally

obligated to do so. he said whoever orchestrated the policy and carried out must be brought to account for their actions. the co director for human rights watch and a human rights lawyer, as well, did the u.s. break the law according to the geneva convention? >> unquestionably the u.s. did break national law by authorizing and carrying out torture, banned for an extremely long time, which u.s. laws themselves forbid and the u.s. is now blight under international law to hold accountable those responsible for the torture. >> symbolically, i guess should the next step be that u.s. officials are brought up on war crimes charges even though it is unlikely anybody would be tried at the hague? >> the next step is for the united states to conduct a criminal investigation, a serious, thorough criminal investigation to figure out who

was responsible at the highest levels for ordering and authorizing the torture. the later steps, if the u.s. fails to act are for other countries or the international community generally to step in. >> what if those charged, what if all fingers go back to the vice president, who has been very outspoken on this saying that there were positive results that came from waterboarding, saying it was used, what if it is the vice president that i also brought up on charges or the former defense secretary, donald rumsfeld. >> that will probably be shocking for many americans, but not unprecedented in the world for senior officials liable the vice president or even a president to be investigated and held responsible -- >> but not a u.s. president. >> well, that's a first for the u.s., but it would still be something that the u.s. is obligated to investigate. is the president or the vice

president, were they involved in ordering torture and ensuring it was conducted and there was no accountability for it, then they need to be investigated. >> i want to show you that the c.i.a. director had to say about the report: >> should congress make sure heads roll at the c.i.a.? it doesn't seem even to this day, it believes anything was wrong. >> the issue is that laws were broken, regardless of where you stand on the argument about whether it helped or not, the point is torture was not allowed. it was illegal, and congress had an oversight role, it's

exercised it with this report and it's now time for the next step to be taken, which is criminal investigation. >> do you believe that men and women at langly care what either congress or the white house thinks about them? >> i think that is too broad of a generalization. i think there were people involved in designing this torture program and ordering it, and they are the ones who should be the focus of attention here. it's not about all of the c.i.a. or every c.i.a. agent. >> maria foreclosure far land, thanks for being with us this morning. >> president obama is taking his immigration pitch on the road. he stopped by a town hall in nashville to defend his executive action yesterday, saying it would be wrong to deport millions of immigrants working and studying in the u.s. he said the u.s. benefits from the vitality and diversity they bring. >> officials in detroit will

begin the process of paying offer creditors as detroit enters the largest civic bankruptcy in u.s. history. bisi onile-ere joins us from detroit. walk us through what's going to happen this morning. >> good morning, stephanie. today, we should learn exactly when the city of detroit will emerge from the largest municipal bankruptcy in u.s. history. i'm told that the city will likely emerge from bankruptcy sometime this week. the emergency manager overseeing the city for over a year submitted his letter of resignation to the governor earlier this week and the governor accepted. that means the city leaders will soon have power over the city once again. this will basically mark a new beginning coming into the new year. in a couple of hours, the mayor of detroit, mayor mike dugan as well as orr will hold a press

conference in the federal courthouse behind me and they will talk to us about what lies ahead for the city of detroit. >> what does happen next? how soon will detroit be able to start paying off some of the debt? >> the city was phasing $18 billion in long term debt. there have been negotiations with major creditors to try to eliminate some of this debt. there was success in doing this. many deals were hammered out weeks ago. >> all right, bisi onile-ere live in detroit, thanks so much. good to see you. >> amazon workers have lost their pay fight, the justice ruling that the workers are not entitled to extra money for the time spent going through security veinings. they happen after the workday ends and can take up to 25 minutes. the justices saying the screening was not critical to their jobs. >> the falling price of oil

means hundreds of jobs cut at b.p. a restructuring plan was announced this morning. the largest cuts include here in the u.s. and around the world. >> the president of a company responsible for a chemical spill in virginia is facing federal charges. he has been arrested and charged with bankruptcy fraud, wire fraud, and lying under oath during bankruptcy proceedings. those hearings were held after the spill that can dominated drinking water for 300,000 people last january. >> negotiators in peru are said to be close to an international court on climate change, cutting emissions from 196 nations. >> experts say it may not be enough. nick clark shows us one area along peru's specific coast where fisheries are threatened by rising sea temperatures. >> off the coast of peru lies one of the most fertile fisheries in the world, hard to

believe when you see the desert like terrain. huge flocks of sea birds give a hint as to what lies beneath. then the islands come into view, the site is spectacular. this sea lion colony test money to the current along the coast, bringing newt recent rich waters into play, sustaining a wealth of marine life. but there's a problem. >> one of the big issues is that the ecosystem here is the anchovies, but global warming reduces quantities and can affect all the way up the food chain. >> the bottom line is more c.o.2 in the atmosphere means more in our seas and that upsets the

natural balance, the balance that keeps colonies like this alive. >> it is an extraordinary sight and all this just a couple of hours boat ride from lima, a city with 10 million people. >> 10 million people need to get fed. lima's main fish market provides a remarkable window on the productivity of peru's waters. shell fish production it seems is down and that lines up with specific impacts elsewhere in the world. >> the numbers of mussels are reduced. there's a lot of pressure on the oceans right now. there isn't vault in quantity. before, they were very large but now much smaller. >> it could be the ocean's chemistry is changing too fast for species to adapt and could lead to some dying out.

>> the oceans acidifying at an amazing rate, not seen on earth for 60 billion years. >> fish stocks are already at breaking patients in many parts of the world. now climate change is ratcheting up pressure still further on all of the world's astonishing array of marine life. al jazeera, lima. per you. >> last month, the u.s. and china did talk about cutting emissions, the goal to reduce them by 25% within the next 15 years, but they are not hard targets. >> yes, but they did come close. on the firing line, women facing a vicious backlash for complaining about how they are portrayed in video games. >> one cofounder of a company has been targeted for a threat and is speaking out. >> it is time now for our big

quote dealing with our top story, the release of the report on the c.i.a. interrogation practices: >> the man behind those words, coming up after the break.

>> who said this: >> our big quote is from senator john mccain, who was prisoner of war during the vietnam war,

weighing in on the c.i.a. report released on torture. >> some say women are being attacked for being critical of how video games portray women. we look at what some are calling gamer gate. >> we are having a full-on war. >> brianna is one of the warriors, a female video game designer in a mostly male word. she created revolution 60, a game with all female protagonists, rare in gaming, once almost entirely the domain of adolescent boys and men, the appeal of games is shifting. nearly half of gamers today are women, but most games are still designed by men, and critics are calling out game designers for the way they portray women. >> you have 30 years of this traditional male gamer being told he is the center of the

universe. women, when we exist, are sex symbols, now that women are gaming, you're seeing all of that start to change. >> but she has become a lightning rod for gamers, who see criticisms as an attack on their identity. she says she was forced to flee her home after receiving death threats. >> you were threatened with rape, murder, your husband was threatened to be killed and have his genitals cut off. >> the goal was simple, to destroy the women. >> gamer gate created by gamers concerned with fair gaming reviews, it has grown into a loss movement associated with the worse of on line harassment of women. so far, three women have been forced to leave their homes, targeted by an onslaught of on line threats. america tonight was given a rare

glimpse into the minds of those who consider themselves part of gamer gate, they say no one here has ever threatened anyone. >> any group of people large enough, there's always going to be like some people that take it too far. >> these gamers say gamer gate's real aim is to keep games free of political correctness, which they fear could lead to censorship. >> it's terrorism against women in the industry. the thing that it disdanes is women being in game development or not. >> there's no indication gamer gaters are logging off. >> video games have been under

like a lot of heat. i don't want to see them changed. >> the battle for the future of video games is far from game over. al jazeera, new york. >> there are a lot more women playing video games these days. in just four years, the number has gone up from 40% in 2010 to 48% in 2014, and coming up, we'll speak to a woman who has been harassed on line. >> gamer gate. >> let's turn to nicole mitchell for the weather details. >> midsection of the country quiet right now, all the action is on the ends. we have the lingering snow, the nor'easter that moved up and caused problems yesterday. watch for interior places to get up to 48 inches. the next big problem brewing, already rain for parts of the northwest. this will spread southward starting today and more so into tomorrow, southern california a

little more by friday and not as much moisture southward. we have the widespread area, this is a windy system, hurricane force winds expected along the coast lines, some of the higher passes, blizzard warnings up in place we'll get snow, numerous flood watches up as this moves in. this is the warm section of the country with temperatures in the 60's before that gets colder. >> brianna woo joins us now from boston, cofounder and head of development at the independent gaming company joint space cat. thank you for being with us with that a lot more women are in the gaming industry, playing video games. help me understand why there seems to be so much misogyny in this industry. >> i want to you imagine a pat on a stove and, you know, this

pot has been boiling for a while as more and more women have been playing games, but what's happened with the explosion of women that are playing games today, this misogyny that's been under the surface of the industry has gotten to the point that the entire house has caught fire, so basically, video games are chining and this is part of it. >> you talked about how you have gotten harassed, terrible death threats, extortion threats on line just for speaking out about gamer gate and discrimination against women. why do you still speak out? >> the reason i speak up is because my heart cannot take seeing more and more women be threatened out of this field. i know most of the women that have been targeted by gamer gate, it's really heartbreaking to be a professional in the field and see your friends basically bullied out of it one by one. >> what's the solution to ending discrimination against women in

gaming? >> i think it's very straight forward. what we need to do is as an industry, look at the number of women that we are hiring. an example, i'm a software engineer. in tech as a whole, women make up about 20% of software engineers, but in video games, we're only 3% of software engineers. same resumes, same backgrounds, same everything. what we need to do as an industry is simply get more women involved, and that way when we have a seat at the table, a lot of these problems solve themselves. >> are there legitimate arguments being made by the gamer gate supporters? >> yes, i think so. i think that it is true that some of the larger press outlets in our industry are maybe a little too close to the people that they cover, but i think that if you look at this realistically, it's going to be the larger game companies, like e.a., act vision, you know, independent small game developers like myself, we don't have a tremendous pull on the

media, we are not flying people out for huge parties and things like that. if you look at pretext versus sub text, the pretext is stopping with corruption but the sub text is they're going after women one by one. we're relatively small change compared to act vision or e.a. >> good luck to you. thanks so much. >> a couple stories to leave you laughing, both involving police officers in michigan. the first is a famous scene from national lampoons vacation coming to life in dear born. >> drumroll, please, police officer and his family won the ultimate christmas home makeover, a fully decked out house with more than 10,000 imported italian lights. he won presents for his entire family. >> we were going to spend for the gifts and decorating, we're going to give to another family

so they can say it and have the same experience we had this year. >> the prize worth $75,000. police in michigan handing out gifts instead of tickets, pulling over people for minor offenses but rather than fining them, beginning of the drivers items from their wish list. the up t.v. network has provided this video, which went viral. it spent $7,000 on the initiative. >> coming up in two minutes from doha, a historic day in oslo, asthmasmalala connects her nobee prize. >> that's it for us here in new york. >> we leave you with our images of the day. officials on high alerts, taking no risks since deadly eruptions filled the skies back in early february. >> we'll see you right back here
