inflict damage on the other. that's the show for today. i'm david shuster in for ali velshi. on behalf of everyone here at "real money." thanks for joining us. >> hi everyone. this is al jazeera america. i'm john siegenthaler in new york. cia fallout. calls for prosecution. and the worldwide reaction to the report on torture. and what science says about torture and whether it works. under investigation. a palestinian leader dies after confrontation with israeli forces. new conduct policy after the latest cases of domestic abuse.

and honoring malala. the youngest person to receive the nobel peace prize. tonight there are calls from around the world accountability and for prosecutions after the senate report on torture by the cia. the world's media and even some american allies are using language like scandalous, devastating and a grave violation of democratic values. there are many here in the united states defending the agency and the tactics it used on terror suspects. libby casey reports. >> water boarding, sleep deprivation, tactics used by the cia on tee takenees in the post

9/11 era. experts say that's not president's call. >> it's not the president of the united states to conduct a criminal inquiry as to the action hes of somebody who works at the cia that's an independent prosecutor, who can look at this without any sort of political interference and conduct an investigation and reach a conclusion based on their own view of the facts. >> reporter: but there were calls on the senate floor from democrats for action. >> it's bad enough not to prosecute these foibles but to word orreward them is inexreensible. incomprehensible. >> allegations of prisoner abuse and chose not oprosecute. in 2012 it en-- not to

prosecute. deaths much two detainees. and president obama outlawed the so-called enhanced enhance interrogation techniques early in his presidency. >> there was never a perfect time to release a report like this but it was important for us i think to recognize that part of what sets us apart is when we do find something wrong we acknowledge it. >> united nations officials say those who exited torture and authorized it should be prosecuted. today the u.n. special investigator on counterterrorism and human rights released a statement saying it is now time to take action. the individuals responsible for the criminal conspiracy must be brought to justice and must face criminal penalties commensurate with the gravity of their crimes. the u.s. does not belong to the international criminal court which steps in when countries

won't prosecute heinous crimes and any approval of it would need approval of the u.n. security council where the u.s. has veto power. >> it is not just this area that has u.s. scrutiny john. calling for the current cia director to resign. he says john brennan and the cia are continuing to willfully mislead the american public. he session they're lying. john. >> libby, thank you. two psychologists to help create its interrogation techniques. roxana saberi talked with a man widely believed to be one of the architects of that program. >> the senate report refers several times to two psychologists who helicopter the cia in a method of indefinitely interrogation. including nudity, water-boarding and slamming detainees into

walls. it identifies the two contractors using the pseudonyms grayson swyfert and dunbar. both are former military psychologists. mitchell criticized the senate staffers who prepared the report saying they were not there in real time and the men and women of the cia without confirming or denying i was a part of the interrogation programs, gave their lives to support the u.s. he was one of the architects of the program saying people think i am. i'm not acknowledging it one way or the other. but in a rare on camera swruf interview with vice news. >> does waterboarding constitute torture? >> you can do it in a way that helps a person shift their priorities so they experience less abuse later on. it's like every tool in the tool bag. you can underuse it, you can

overuse it. >> chief interrogateor threat bed to quit. the two psychologists insisted al nashiri and others were still withholding critical information. they personally oversaw and conducted some interrogations using the techniques they had devised. mitchell has said he has experience in training inheritorsinterrogate areors, i applaud them. >> from 2005 to 2009, the cia paid that company $81 million. >> roxana thank you. former vice president dick cheney responded to the report tonight. he told fox news that cia tactics saved american lives and

that the bush administration stayed within the law. >> torture was something we very carefully avoided. we wanted them to tell us what was the line legally between what was acceptable and away isn't. they did. -- and what isn't. before proceeding with the program, in terms of there being some problems in the program there may well have been but i don't think they reported that the senate report represents the truth of actually what happened. >> arsalan ithacarar joins us tonight. give us the impressions of what you heard from former vice president cheney? dwr first of all the cia torture report, no country for brown men which is exactly what this 525 page report showed is that for the last 11 plus years we have been systematically

torturing brown muslim men in our custody all around the world from guantanamo bay to bagram air force base, to black sites all across europe, it also showed sadly that the cia during the war on terror during the bush administration was essentially working as a rogue fourth branch of the government. they were lying to everyone. and you know it is going to be a stain on our modern political history. you know this is something that -- >> we just heard the vice president got it approved by the justice department. >> he didn't get a -- i'm shocked that vice president cheney is saying anything right now. because if you actually read every one of the 525 pages today which i did there's not one of them that said that we had any actionable intelligence, there was no ticking time bomb scenario that was foiled by torturing. that none of the right wing neocon's talking points from the last ten years every ever came to

fruition. >> the cia director said that it did that it helped get information. >> no about. >> we heard it yesterday that's what they said, i don't know whether it's true. >> they're not getting it from the report that senator dianne feinstein released with the rest of the senate intelligence committee. >> that's true. >> that's 525 pages of a 6700 page classified document that the world is never going to see. this is the tip of a dirty filthy iceberg. >> who do you hold responsible for this? >> george w. bush was president of the united states at this time. the buck stops with him. the cia under michael hayden and others, it's funny how right wingers love to blame president obama for everything but here is an potential official government report coming from the cia that it

perpetuated it for over a decade and lied about it. >> the united nations called for some sort of prosecution yesterday, are you suggesting we prosecute the president of the united states? >> no, no, that would never hatch. as an international lawyer as your segment showed the international criminal court would bring any sort ever charges if an international legal venue the united states is not a party to the icc treaty. the u.n. security council we have our own blackball veto so it would never get reported to the icc. it is basically our government airing some dirty laundry over the last ten years and it's better late than never. >> as a human rights lawyer if a victim of torture came to you and said that they want their day in court that they want someone to be held accountable what would you tell them? >> well, i would tell them what amnesty international human rights watch the aclu and huge

law firms around the country have said, we will defend you and give you your day in court. that's why guantanamo bay is a fraction of the population it was, today. lawyers who dedicated their time pro bono, after many, many years of indefinite torture to finally say every person, every human being deserves their day in court. >> let me play you more of vice president cheney's interview. >> 3,000 americans died on 9/11 because of what these guys did and i have no sympathy for them. >> is there a difference between having no sympathy and torturing people? >> yeah. i mean john, you know the bush administration just played the 9/11 card for everything. these were people who were never convicted of crimes. they were being tortured indefinitely. they had no access to counsel

they couldn't contact their families. the reports showed in one case, our american forces detained somebody in afghanistan. they found out by dna evidence that they had the i don't wrong guy and they kept him in prison after that. we did recognize tal feedings and water ---we did rectal feedings and water boarding and this is unconscionable by anyj of the imagination. >> thank you. >> thank you john. >> if there is any science of getting information out of people? that's coming out. first there is outrage in the west bank after the death of a palestinian cabinet member after confrontation with israel e-israeli forces. being nick schifrinnick schifrin has

the story. >> protecting nearby jewish outposts and in the middle palestinian are minister yed abu aim. put his hands around abu ain's neck. minutes later he was out of breath. >> translator: they attacked us. >> reporter: a soldier tells another man to go away. abu ein dismisses him and continues what will be his final words. >> translator: this is the army of the occupation and they are stopping palestinians from acting on their rights. they attacked us immediately without anyone throwing a stone or attacking them. this is a terrorist occupying army that stops palestinians from acting on their rights. >> reporter: immediately after the interview abu ein begins to fall faint. he lies down and clutches his chest. he begins to lose consciousness.

palestinians call for help. an protest protesters carry him to an ambulance. he was placed on a gurney he would never regain consciousness. by the time his family arrived at the hospital, he was dead. tonight his sister said he died a martyr. >> they didn't like he raised his voice. >> a statement saying the event in which he died is under investigation by the israeli army. we express sorrow over his death. security and stability is important to both sides and we will continue coordination with the palestinian authority. but some palestinian officials want that coordination to end

and president mahmoud abbas called his death a murder. >> what happened today is nothing you about a crime. it is a crime by all measures. to which we cannot remain silent. >> abu ein was a popular figure because he personally led protests. he was released in a prisoner swap, he became a minister in the fall. fighting israel's occupation. >> he fight for the tree dom of his country. he fought for the freedom of palestine for the palestinian rights. >> palestines say they're used to civilians dying in clashes with israeli forces but this was a minister and supposed to be a peaceful protest. his funeral will be tomorrow morning, it will be attended by thousands of people, john,

surely an event that will increase tension between israelis and palestinians. >> nick schifrin reporting. npr's international editor greg myrie is in washington tonight. greg welcome. give me your reaction to this story. >> yeah, this is the latest in several violent incidents we've seen in the jerusalem rah ramallah area. this has been a new and very worry some development. >> how important a figure was abuein and his death what will it mean for this conflict? >> right he's a significant figure. he was somebody who was out on the street, protesting. he had street credibility among palestinians.

he wasn't a guy who just sat in his office. he was a well-known figure in a small community. he had done a lot of time in israeli prisons which gave him credibility. he dealt with prisoners' issues, he was a significant figure known by all the palestinians everywhere but particularly those in the west bank. >> there is call in the u.n. for a full probe the idf has launched a full investigation. is there overreach here when israeli forces deal with palestinian protesters in situations like this? >> well, from what we've seen in the video and the witness accounts, this is certainly not an episode that should have ended which anybody dying. it seemed to be a small protest. there was no voyages no stone-throwing that piem aware ofi'm aware ofor have seen from this perspective and it seemed that the tear gas started we saw the

shoving. this is certainly not something that should have led to a death. these happen all the time but when they happen and the tear gas flies and the rocks and live ammo, a hoocial confrontation at a that can -- a horrible confront takings that can end -- confrontation that can end in tragedy. >> you have the israeli parliament dissolving itself and new government. could this incident impact those talks with netanyahu? >> it's part of the multiple incidents that we've seen in recent weeks and months. and again the peace talks aren't going anywhere so i don't really see much reason for hope there. the significant thing here is, the israelis and the palestinians in the west bank have had real cooperation on security for the last five, six

even seven years. and there has not been a lot of violence. again as much as we talk about the fighting there it seems to be almost entirely in gaza. if that security cooperation between the israelis and palestinians breaks down and mahmoud abbas has suspended it and it breaks doubt totally that would be a significant development. >> good to see you greg, thank you very much. >> thank you john. >> coming up next, the budget battle between congress and the pentagon. what the military wants and i what it doesn't want. >> the controversy concerning the ride sharing service uber.

you . >> there is a trillion dollar battle underway in washington and tomorrow is the deadline of keeping the government funded. at the center of the debate, billions of dollars of defense spending. jamie mcintyre is in

washington. >> congress doesn't give the pentagon enough money for what it wants and forces it spend way too much money on what it insists it doesn't need. they love the a-10 attack jet for its combat survive ability. the cold war relic has survived every attempt of the pentagon to kill it. because it has powerful backers from the state where the a-10s are based. >> the air force spent much of this year fighting the congress to retire the a-10. why they weren't focused on other important issues i don't know. >> the air force would argue the $4 billion cost of maintaining the a-10s is an important issue in these tight budget times but it's still a tiny fraction of overall pentagon spending. advocacy group citizens against

government waste has compiled a list of dubious pork projects and unwanted weapons in what it has dubbed the pig book. among items $90 million to upgrade the m-1 a-1 abrams tank. energy research, algae biofuel that costs $400 a gallon and $20 billion for star based youth program which teaches science technology engineering and math to at risk children. california senator diane feinstein zeroed in on high price of nukes arguing the level of spending is unnecessary and unsustainable and reducing the arsenal could save hundreds

of millions of dollars a year. what's really bugging the pentagon now is it can't take some of the money it doesn't want and spend on what i does. that's because the so-called sequestration bars what are common sense tradeoffs. >> sequestration would literally render it impossible for us to execute the defense strategy that president obama signed off on 2012. >> wasting billions of dollars foolishly for parochial political reasons. look no further than the fact that one in five u.s. military base is unneeded according to a pentagon study. but the congress argues, before it turns out every base is in someone's congressional district. john. >> jamie mcintire, in washington. uber the popular taxi service

banned in several countries and more big american cities are fighting the service. jonathan betz has more. jonathan. >> yes john. first now scrutiny is also shifting to whether the service is actually safe. more speed bumps for uber. now from los angeles and san francisco. both cities have sued the company, accusing it of false advertising and fraud. >> the company repeats this misleading statement giving consumers false sense of security. >> this has countries including thailand, spain and the nerld allnetherlands, via smartphone apps instead of waiting for cabs. >> the court confirmed that uber is working outside the law. >> after months of protests, critics say every driver is not

fingerprinted. >> you shouldn't jump in the car blindly feeling you're protected, clearly you're not. >> the company says it offers the safest rides on the road and conducts safety checks on its drivers. part of the transportation ecosystem in the golden state yet this week india banned its service after a rider accused a driver of rape. >> mentally physically as well, there is a lot of harassment going in metro buses public transport. >> since launching in 2009, uber is expanding at breakneck speed and is available in over 200 cities. but uber is also running into angry protests by taxi drivers.

uber even sow is wildly popular. its defenders welcomed the competition, saying it's onfaster and cheaper than cabs. the company plans to appeal the ruling giving no signs of slowing down. now uber's competitors like liecht have alsolyfthave been under scrutiny but the protests lyft has settled with them. >> the deaths of erik garner and michael brown. and a year after the scandals, the nfl announces new rules of conduct.

>> i'm john siegenthaler in new york and this is al jazeera america. the senate report, how the money kept flowing to fund torture by the cia. the tactics the sites behind the torture techniques and the signs suggesting they just don't work. time crump crunch, where the judges have only seven minutes to decide a child's future.

and malala's moment. the youngest person to accept the nobel peace prize. >> the report on cia torture how expensive they were. thomas drayton has that story. >> it was a cia wish list that cost hundreds of millions of dollars. many parts are blacked out but it's clear money flowed freely. one field officer said, we had more money than we could spend. facilities costing more than $300 million. the report highlights a payment to a country that housed a facility, a relationship that caused ongoing difficulties for the cia. the cia eventually gave millions of dollars to the country after itwhich it was reported there was flexibility with regard to the number of detainees at the facility. among the other big cost, a

multimillion dollar contract, a company created by two retired u.s. air force psychologists who played roles in implementing the program. >> in 2005 the two contractors formed a company specifically for purpose of expanding their work with the cia. the cia has paid these two contractors and their company more than $80 million. >> according to the report the two men had never worked as interrogate oorgs and didn'tors and didn't have a background in terrorism yet they designed most of the methods used. the report highlights how the cray paid $1.1 million to cover legal expenses forthe company and its employees. how the cia spent millions of dollars to build and maintain secret enforcement sites in foreign countries including two sites that were never used.

suspects were paid off after they were released and instructed not speak about the experience. one prisoner receiving $14,500 euros, one person associated with the cia program told the investigators that payments of more than a million dollars were made without any paperwork in cash and out of boxes containing $100 bills. adding, we never counted that, i'm not to count that amount of money for a receipt. >> the checkbook was clearly wide open. in addition to millions in gifts to foreign governments there were also employee rewards and at least one case a cia officer received a cash reward of $2500 simply for doing agood job. john. >> thomas drayton. in many ways the psychological

tactics were just as bad. our science and technology expert jake ward explains. >> once upon a time torture was simply a matter of inflicting physical pain. but pseudo science applies psychological pain. i'm talk here about sleep deppary vacation, deprivation. little or no evidence on the body. the thing to understanding is that the researchers who have looked at the distinction between physical and psychological torture have found that in the end the effect on the victim is largely the same. as the u.n. special reporter on torture pus puts it, whether it's the body or the mind, whether the victim is sexually assaulted or held in a state of terrible anxiety the common

effect is the disintegration of the personality to regress the victim to a place where he or she loses all hope of control of freedom of intimacy and can do nothing else but comply. of course this new report on the cia's methods reveals that the agency engaged in both categories of coercion, physical and psychological. the program even employed psychologists who help refine its interrogation techniques, training psychologists using coercion to make their questioning more effective here is a final added piece of horror. the intelligence community employs an advisory group the intelligence science board and in 2007 it put together a report finding none of the spairgs techniques have been subjected to scientific or

systematic investigation. it argues that threatens to use this bucket to induce drowning or worse actually doing it to someone last no proven ability to get truthful information out of somebody. now whether somehow torture is justified if it's effective well let's just put that aside for a moment. here is what we do know. u.s. personnel knew how harmful torture could be on its victims and they did it anyway and they ignored what science also knows: that there is no proven ability for torture to get useful information out of anybody whatsoever. >> that's jake ward reporting. supporters of the cia have been out in force today defending its methods but this is not the first time the agency has been under fire. tom ackerman has that story. >> at the cia's private museum, the trophies on display highlight the agency's triumphs

pmg like osama bin laden's personal rifle. looking patriotic and glamorous. >> be a part of the national clandestine service at that time central intelligence agency. >> president harry truman created the agency, it failed to predict the soifts would soviets would build an atomic bomb. the agency did recover by developing the world's first spy satellites. as the world grew it helped the overthrow of the shah of iran. >> as a result, iran received about 25 years of reasonably good leadership. >> reporter: but the agency as well as spectacularly failed like covert operations like the

1961 invasion of cuba and attempts to kill fidel castro, leading to a nuclear missile showdown with the soviet union. prominent critics like the late senator and u.n. ambassador patrick moinahan. >> five times the budget of the state department. and what it mostly does is pass around misinformation. >> reporter: misinformation like its analysts flawed estimate that saddam hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction, the justification of america's invasion of iraq. >> we believed we understood that story history his own record of deception and denial, his previous disuse. >> whatever its admitted failures the cia says many of its successes must stay secret and if its conduct warrants

condemnation then so do the presidents it takes orders from. tom ackerman, al jazeera washington. now to other news from new york. where protesters rally at the steps of city hall, they were part of global day of decision following the grand juries decisions to not indict police officers for killing black men. >> such a diverse thing i've seen in such a long time period. and before you say people shouldn't protest people shouldn't block cars and all this nothing of good conscience has not happened without protest without people feeling uncomfortable. >> activists say they are working with others to keep the momentum of their campaign going. across the country medical students and staff showing their support for michael brown and eric garner, adopting the

hashts, whiteadopting thehashtags white coats for black lives. racial bias is a public health issue. the just justice department is investigating the deaths of michael brown and erik garner. randall pinkston reports. >> i'm here to report that the justice department will proceed into an investigation into mr. garner's death. >> it is the second time in a month that eric holder said the federal government will investigation the death of a black man by a police officer. video camera caught the police beating of rodney king in los angeles. a state jury acquitted all four officers of all charges. >> we the jury in the above

entitled action find the defendant lawrence m. powell not guilty. >> that verdict triggered riots in los angeles. it also triggered a federal civil rights case which resulted in convictions against two of the officers. in new york, former staten island prosecutor jason leventhal: >> what does a prosecutor have to do to just bring charges of civil rights violations against the police officer? >> they have to show the police officer acted willfully free from the use of unreasonable force. >> police officer daniel pantaleo's attorney, says force was justified because erik garner was resisting arrest. leventhal disagrees. >> as soon as officer pantaleo wrapped his right arm around

mr. garner's left armed and his other arm around his neck, garner puts up his arms to say he's not fighting, not resisting. the very mead and aggressive jump to a choke hold is what makes this case a federal crime. >> i can't breathe. i can't breathe. >> what is the police's statement that if he could talk he could breathe. >> he was obviously in distress. they could have gotten immediate attention to insist assist him. >> michael brown's death may be tougher to prosecute. but for erik garner's death in leventhal's opinion, there is no question. >> with the evidence being as strong as it is, with that video being what it is, to me it is clear as day that this is

unreasonable unjustifiable force. >> randall pinkston, al jazeera. >> thousands of cases are being rushed through the texas child protective system, courts are overburdened and understaffed. there are changes underway. heidi zhou-castro has the report. >> as judge lien byrne dawns her robe, she is prepared for the decision she is about to make, where a child sleeps at night and his immediate safety is in her hands. >> these could be the decisions you make, what if i get it wrong? >> in the seven years of handling child protective cases judge byrne is haunted by those she got wrong. 11 month old arian came before the judge and the judge decided

she should stay with an aunt. >> at that moment with the information i was provided i made the best decision i could make. >> reporter: within a year the child was dead. a man visiting the home had crushed her skull. >> it is your worst nightmare that a child under my watch would die. now, if i'd made a different decision, would the same result happen? i don't know. i don't know. >> what the judges here do know is that they have insufficient time to hear cps cases. three judges are assigned to the cases in travis county texas. in three years their annual caseload has swelled from 1600 to 6,000 due in part to a booming population. >> let me call the 8:30 docket. >> the national council of juvenile and family court

justices recommends one hour per case. here the average case lasts stoafn ninelastsseven to nine minutes. >> it's never enough time. >> dynasty holland remembers the things unsaid at her foster care hearings. >> help honestly. i want to be at a placement that needs me. i want to be in a placement where i'm not getting thrown against the wall. >> we need a voice too we need to say what's going on. >> the county had her me plea for longer hearing. that would improve the time per case 18 minutes still ten minutes short of the recommended length. >> these kids have gone through things that most adults walking among us could not tolerate. >> and each case can become an

agonizing reminder of what's at stake. heidi zhou-castro, al jazeera austin texas. >> in kentucky this week the governor joined a petition asking the supreme court to rule on same sex marriage. a mix of court rulings and new laws has led to legalization in 35 states. "america tonight's" adam may met one kentucky couple waiting for high court to consider their case. >> reporter: teaching your child how to drive. it's a milestone memory for any family. but this father and son are not a legal family. at least according to the laws of kentucky. >> greg actually you know, gut is the term he's used. >> michael de leon and greg bork, fathers of two kids, recently lost their lawsuits seeking marriage rights. they sued the state of kentucky and its governor. their case is called bork versus beshear. >> when we started this case a

year ago we didn't expect this would be going to the supreme court. marriage equality except for sixth circuit we're shocked. >> the sixth circuit is called unpredictable. it's here in november that michael and greg lost their appeal. the federal court uphemmed the same sex bans in four states, ohio tennessee south carolina. >> simulate a marriage in terms of rights. >> to be able to put both of their names on their birth certificates as their parents. >> we're still prohibited from doing that. that's what's motivating us. >> in typical teenage fashion isaiah backed up his fathers. >> i want to jump in here a minute. >> isaiah you want to glump

here? >> about what glrks jump -- jump in here? >> about what? >> these awesome dudes have been parenting me since i was three years old. and everything that i am, the reason why i am the man today is because of these two beautiful handsome young gentlemen. >> overall opposition to same sex marriage in kentucky is slowly fading. 50% according to recent polls. if the supreme court does not legalize same sex marriage kentucky advocacy may have to go back to the voters. there's mounting pressure on the supreme court to take up the case. pleazpleas from governors in kentucky and louisiana 30 u.s. companies including apple and new appeals from other couples in four states including greg and michael. >> if we end up going to washington, that is a challenge

but we are prepared for that, we will be ready. >> in that petition, kentucky's governor asked the court to take action, they needed clarity not just in kentucky but the whole nation needs a policy on this. what he spelled out was kentucky's case would be perfect for supreme court because of two reason. one, the case has to do with recognizing marriages in other states and recognizing and performing cases in kentucky. those are two big issues when it comes to marriage equality and the kentucky case has both of those issues. >> the supreme court has surprised everyone before so there's no assurance that the court will take up this case right? >> no, no assurance ever when we're talking about the supreme court. but back in october they punted on some cases and since then you've had had a ripple effect of marriages taking place all over the country. you have two different policies.

at that time justice ginsburg stated, you didn't have dissension in the states but now you do. it does put the supreme court in a position where they would need to decide something. in january. >> what about if the court upholds the ban in kentucky and other states? >> for this family that means their marriage is still not recognized in the state of kentucky. we dig into that in a little bit here in our report on "america tonight." but what they have to do in kentucky is go back to the voters and try to get a new amendment and to approve same sex marriage in kentucky and the advocates on the ground say that could take decades. let's be realistic here. the supreme court has already opened the door for same sex marriage. are they going to rule against it now? many observers say that's unlikely but the supreme court can always surprise it. >> it can adam may you can

catch his story at the top of the hour on "america tonight." >> $7 billion of detroit's debt will be wiped out over the next couple of years. the state appointed emergency manager has been in charge since detroit fired for bankruptcy last year. mayor mike duggan is expected to regain power. in july detroit's retirees voted to cut their pensions in order to cut the city's debts. cut pensions by about 5% and ended cost of living increases. nfl's owners approved a new tough policy dam after cases of player violence. michael eaves has that. >> john after admitting his mistakes in handling the ray rice domestic violence

incidence, being chuck goodell revised his policy. nfl would hire a new disciplinary officer who would oversee all investigations and decide any subsequent punishments. appeals would continue to be heard by the commissioner and automatic six game suspension in cases involving assault domestic violence or child abuse. most notably ray rice and adrian peterson. including indianapolis coach jim ursay who was arrested for d.u.i. >> this policy is strong tough and better for everyone associated with the nfl. being part of the nfl is a

privilege. it is not a right. the measures adopted today uphold that principle. >> well all 32 team owners endorsed the changes. nfl players association says it didn't have any input into the revamped policy. the union has contended any alteration should be collectively bargained. roger goodell having any say over the policy. >> we gave that a lot of thought and the reason is that's the one person that understands what's important, long term interests of the game. owners can have specific interests, players can that's short term but the commissioner is always looking for the long term best interests of the game and i think it's what separates us. >> now kraft said the owners did consider using an independent arbitrator in the future but they felt that anyone from outside the nfl put in that position could water down the

league's best interest. john. >> meaivesz, thankmichael eaves coming up on the program 17-year-old and already nobel laureate malala yeufers. malala yeufers. yousafzai. malala yousafzai. a
