zeina khodr has the story. >> reporter: in the heart of kir coot in broad daylight. the islamic state of iraq and levant made its presence felt. dressed in black, detonating a car bomb outside the hotel. before storming the empty building. the attack on friday destabilized a security situation in the northern city. it was part coordinated assault, that involved i.s.i.l. fighters west and south-west of kirkuk. peshmerga soldiers told us that they ended the siege after a 2-hour gun battle but the arm men detonated their belts instead of being captured. it was a fierce fight. >> the i.s.i.l. fighters a good vantage point to cause chaos in the kirkuk city center. >> kurdish commanders say i.s.i.l.'s objective was to
11:07 pm
capture the city of kirkuk. it failed to do that but managed to send a message. the armed group wants to show it has not been defeated especially since it suffered setbacks on the battle grounds. >> kirkuk has been a dangerous city. various people have laid claims. friday's attack wasn't the first time i.s.i.l. tried to take control. i.s.i.l. wants kirkuk. they have been telling the supporters it's a matter of time before kirkuk would be theirs. >> kurdz pushed on three different fronts around kirkuk. it was an aggressive attack. the worst in months. >> i.s.i.l. attacked from many directions. in the beginning they were able to surround us and we lost our positions. >> kurdz managed to recapture most areas. including an oil field.
11:08 pm
the peshmerga are facing a well armed enemy. i.s.i.l.'s offensive has not ended a similar story in northern syria. a battle end with anti-i.s.i.l. forces in control of kobane. the city as you see there, is in roou jens i.s.i.l. fighters may have lost the battle but the yate is not done yet. >> translation: we decided to withdraw from kobane a little bit. heavy forces continued. the killing of the brothers is not a loss it's a win. >> look at the destruction behind me. our islamic state will remain. i tell that to mr obama. >> the four month battle destroyed the town so families could move home. i.s.i.l. claimed to have beheaded a journalist kenji goto

jogo. joining us is the president of a newsagency. appreciate your time. we heard your reaction from the japanese government. what is the reaction from the people who embraced the fight for kenji goto jogo. >> that's right. for several days the japanese learnt a lot about this person - his career and what kenji goto jogo was trying to do. many feel he has become a friend after seeing the work he has done. >> when he woke up. it's a sad day. people are shocked. a lot of people don't know what to say. >> i know the people understood his mission as a journalist. what do you make of the $200 million price tag. was this symbolic? >> yes, in the initial stage, i think the fact that they asked for the same amount that prime
11:10 pm
minister abe had to donate to the countries that were fighting against i.s.i.l. was a symbolic act. i don't think there was probably a serious prospect or expectation that japan would deliver up that sum or message that if i want to spend the money, you can pend it not on fighting for us. >> how complicated was the process in dealing with japan. >> what i.s.i.l. call for was kenji goto jogo and the jordanian government said no. that it should be the pilot, not kenji goto jogo necessarily.
11:11 pm
it complicated the negotiations. i don't know how much it led to the result. there was confusion with different countries and different solutions. >> do you think this will change japan's involvement in the fight against i.s.i.l.? >> it will. the japanese government is looking strongly for engagement in the fight against i.s.i.l. i think the general public will be more towards the idea that maybe we should stay at home and stay safe. thank you. we appreciate your time we are getting new details on the crash of airasia. the pilot conducting the procedure at sea. the co-pilot lost the plane.
11:12 pm
the airasia crashed in the java sea. it was flying from indonesia to singapore. the leaders will be looking into standards when they meet next week. accidents in 2014 made it the deadliest year for more than 10 years. more than 900 were killed in passenger accidents last year. officials planned so discuss plane tracking and flights. it marked a one year disappearance for malaysia airlines flight mh370. >> president obama's pick for u.s. ambassador. she is thinking of her family's interest and contemplating the process. she was nominated in fall but is yet to be confumed.

11:14 pm
sexual assault on campus and a university that turns a blind eye. we have more. >> reporter: fed up some sorority sisters used paint brushes to take out their frustration over a decree to stay away from parties this weekend. >> it's a strong mandate. what it is doing is telling us in order to be safe in the name of safety we have to hide from men. it is bizarre. the mandate is from the national sororities in response to violence on campus. highlighted in a rolling stone article. since then greek life has been under the microscope. the university president is suspending activities due to bid night. it happens once a year when a ticket to fraternity life is given.
11:15 pm

11:17 pm
11:19 pm
tonight we take a deeper look at money and politics. the next presidential election is two months away. thanks to changes in law, big money donors are preparing to spend what it takes on candidates and causes. earlier this week news leaked that koch brothers pledged an 899 million on the next presidential election. almost double the 107 million the brothers raised in 2012. about as much as the entire committee spent during the last
11:20 pm
presidential election. ali velshi with more on the frenzy. frenzy. >> reporter: the koch brothers charles and david, are the election season nightmare democrats wish they could wake up from. they spent roughly $290 million in the 2014 midterms mostly through their complicated web of dark moneyisations. that is campaign spending by non-profits that can't easily be tracked or sourced. >> there are other organizations that are nonprofit, 501(c) 4 social welfare groups linked in some fashion to the koch brothers. directly or indirectly. >> reporter: they have pioneered the use of billionaire caucuses. closed-door seminars to raise cash from donors.
11:21 pm
past attendees include sheldon adelson, supporting pro-israel causes spending $100 million in the 2012 presidential elections with meetings raising as much as $50 million a pop. the departments have taken on hush-hush affairs to rake in money from big timers. launched in 2005, vocracy alliance aims to: attendees include bill soros and tom steyer who donate some 73 million in the 2014 midterms. some worry that dark money will allow the rich republican or
11:22 pm
otherwise to advance their interests above others. >> fear of the wealthy, too much influence on elections goes war back history. there has been legal challenges striking down limits on all campaign spending. saying that it was a form of free speech. >> 1976 was the first year of a publicly funded presidential campaign. jimmy carter defeated his opponents. for years they gladly accepted the money. >> i ask you not to participate. >> president obama became the first presidential candidate to
11:23 pm
turn down federal money. his campaign raised a record $750 million. in a 2010 citizens united decision, it was ruled that companies could spend money in support of candidates and in some cases they were more than a center. president obama and his opponent mitt romney turned down public funding in 2012. it raised a combined 1.1 billion. in a 5-4 decision the supreme court removed limitations on individual donations. chief justice john roberts probing in the opinion. money and politics may be repugnant to some so too the first amendment. in the four years since citizens united it nearly downed. as michael shure explained don't
11:24 pm
hate the player hate the game. >> mitt romney's announcement that he will not defeat the president speaks to the recall that finance plays. the run for office is prohibitive. analysts predict the race for the californian senate seat could cost $1 billion. and because of how blue california has become only a self-funded republican could afford to run. national campaigns are worst. the presidential candidate in 2016 would need to raise 75 million before the start of the primaries. that is finding 65 maxed outdonors a day for 425 days. enter the billionaires and their super pacts. names like sheldon adelson. and the koch brothers and others
11:25 pm
are critical. adelson and his wife gave more than $90 mullion to conservative pacts. last week g.o.p. hopefuls were at the base. citizens united among them. many travelled to palm springs to attend a separate event sponsored by the kochs, and designed to introduce candidates to the donor class. >> you can't get away with that this is america... >> republicans have something else to contend. the tea party. they have driven up the price of running for president. they made over 100 million and establishment republicans. why with they called establishment. >> they have a pipeline to the money. not all of it.
11:26 pm
once you court the donors to win, you need to do it again. house minority leader pell pelosi got them to pay out. dues out of their own covers. the amount ranged from $125,000 to $800,000, depending on seniority and committee assignments and how much you pay could determine the committee assignments and whether you have a leading position. >> the next bid for the united states of america - mitt romney. >> reporter: there are honourable reasons to run for office. today it's hard to imagine mr smith ever going to washington when it may be too expensive even for mr mitt romney for a deeper looks at politics, let's whelm cherif
11:27 pm
kouachi, and from washington sounds and senior advisor for outreach, and daniel wean ear from the brennan center for justice. good to have you with us. this is a donor driven process. are we electing our leaders based on who is the best door to door salesman? >> it would be better if it was door to door. it's more like dialling to a narrow set of wealthy donors. and they have become like the gatekeepers of our democracy. if you can't appeal to a set of folks that can give you $2,000, $5,000, it's hard to get it off the ground. you have to do it day after day. to be competitive at a u.s. senate race the money race shows you would have to raise
11:28 pm
$326 million every day. >> how much are the candidates in control or are the donors holding the cards smears. >> well i think that the candidates are less in control than they used to be. they spend a significant amount of money. now we have. our latest research is a specific amount of information between candidates and outstanding groups with laws - they are playing a role. >> we talk about shaping our policies. michael shure, how does money shape and few the politician and how they mu important issues. >> in obvious ways. if someone wants to appeal to the koch brother or sheldon adel tonne, which the republicans did, you go to what
11:29 pm
is interesting them. if it's shelton adel tonne, you take on issues to do with israel. or koch brothers petroleum. their network is wider. you have to cow towel. how do you kiss the ring by supporting the issues that they want supported. that's how they are trying to use the money to influence, and you asked who is asking who. the voters have control. million after million went to newt gingrich. he was no longer viable. sheldon adelson. >> is it a checklist of issues for cherif kouachi -- issues michael sure here are the issues. >> you have to be god at what you do. scott walker headed jed bush in
11:30 pm
a poll. he's a good politician. his acuty, his knowledge of politics will acontract dollars. that is what happens here. at that point the issues that the people are advocating appeal to them. it's a 2-way street. >> how dramatically did citizens united change the political landscape? >> dramatically. before citizens united core aspect of electoral advocacy were off limits to corporations unions. and after citizens united they can spend unlimited money. so it was significant. >> we mentioned the democratic republican parties, requiring law to disclose their donors not so for outside groups. the money coming from anonymous sources. does it not breed mistrust if not corruption? >> definitely undermines the
11:31 pm
public safety when a handful of millionaires and billionaires are fighting it out. and ordinary voters are left on the sidelines. this doesn't have to be the way we conduct our democracy. we can promote programs matching contributions of citizens and would put the voters rather than the large donors at the center of the democracy. >> to people care about the issue of money in politics. some call it a zero issue? >> it's hard to say. there are groups pacts that are created. a professor created a pact to stop pacts. there's a movement, a grass roots movement. people offended. in germ it doesn't seem to change the apathy or energy. same number of people coming out, not encouraging numbers of people to come out to vote.
11:32 pm
until it changes mib we'll invite people into it. >> can you five a successful campaign without being embraced. >> i think you can survive. it helps to be able to tend to the network. >> if you are a teacher or police officer who wants to run for us. if you turn around. we know that the wealthiest donor historically is 90% white. if you are a person of colour without access to the network, it makes the path to victory more narrow. we need to create a democracy. the doesn't dependent on the size of your wallet. >> mitt romney was embraced in 2008. do you think that factored in?
11:33 pm
>> i think he was looking around at where he would get the vast migority of his -- majority of his campaign funds. i think probably that did effect things do you see kochs' spending creating problems. >> to some degree. obviously it becomes the kochs brother agenda that they have to prioritise. if you are a brother that doesn't agree, it's a problem. the kochs pioneered the use of dark money. being bank rolled by megadonors this way can have negative implications. the kochs shrouded a lot of spending in secret trying to minimise that effect. clearly they haven't been
11:34 pm
successful. >> how do you fool the dark money? >> you don't. there are minimal disclosure requirements that let you see which groups are spending money to some degree when they make ads. you can identify the groups. the problem is they are frequently named something like americans for american pie or whatever. and you can't see who is distributing that money. >> what about democrats, there's big donors stepping up for 2015. >> certainly. there's a system where both sides need to rely on a small amount of donors. i'll judge candidates and folks that get involved in the political process on how they want to fix the system. folks have to play the game unfortunately, as it is rigged towards the 1% in the donor class. people should be taking a strong
11:35 pm
stand fixing the system. limiting the roll of big money. we need the supreme court to transform its approach. they have noted how the supreme court has carved up protections. we need to give candidates a path to run for office that allows them to depend upon folks like you and me not just the wealthy donor networks. we need to change the system. >> do you think public funding is gone is it over? >> public funding at the presidential level is not viable at the levels of money that folks have to raise. we have to fix the system. there are systems of public funding that are working. new york city has a viable system. connecticut has a system. a republican won the governorship. in places like connecticut, we
11:36 pm
have seen that as a result of that public funding system. we have seen policies that serve working families better. so for example, connects past the first statewide paid sick leave law after passing public funding. >> the systems are viable producing results in the public interest. >> we know about the issues the average voter cares about, what does the economic elite care about? >> the economic elite, it's hard to generalise. they care about protecting their status, about taxation they care about everything to do with that. and facilitating the earn of money as well. they care about business and employment and issues. it's hard to speak for them en masse. in general they do care about protecting the wealth. >> what can we do about the over the top spending by
11:37 pm
billionaires. >> i agree with adam. over the long term we need a different jurisprudence from the supreme court. in the immediate term we could enforce laws we have on the books, particular at the federal level, the agency charged with doing that the federal election commission has a terrible track record. then i think also we need reform of closure laws to do with dark money. we need to be exploring workable public financing systems. >> we talk about a huge pot of money. i want to take a step back here. who gets the money, whou is it spent? >> well from the coke brothers network it's called the koch-ta-puss. it goes to a lot of places. to non-profits, some op behalf of the presidential candidates primaries. some at the state level. that money will be spend in a lot of different ways
11:38 pm
advocating for the kochs views on the economy. they are folks that want to eliminate the minimum wage or have policies holding back the working families people of colour from getting into the center of democracy and getting a leg up in the economy. that will be spent. many of those will not be traceable because of the loophole. >> are you optimistic that there will be reforms? >> i think we are moving in the right direction. a lining of citizens united is more aware of and concerned about not just dark money, but the role of a few billionaires dominating the democracy. we have seen a growing movement since the citizens united decision and see it linked to the voting public. it is a flip. same copy about the fight for political access. people are putting the pieces
11:39 pm
together. we see groups with millions coming together to prioritise fixing democracy. we understand it will be tough to make changes until we address the problems. i think that we are seeing a lot of action at the grassroots. >> we see as we gear up for 2016. michael sure adam council and advisor of policy and outreach and daniel wiener council for the democracy programme for the brennan center. thank you still to come on al jazeera america - fun to fly or safety hazard in the sky. a look at how the f.a.a. may regularise the drones. and social security - how it stops some americans falling into poverty.

11:43 pm
a new report gave us a sneak preview. it turns out that they are starting to look at all drones from big ones big professional ones carrying cameras all the way down to toy drones. something under the purview of the f.a.a. the smallest will be considered part of the national air space, and will be part of the pursue. this is sort of a problem in many ways. they are not currently staffed. there has been a handshake agreement between people and the general national air space. they'll put up a hot-air balloon, you have to call your local f.a.a. center get permission. it almost a manual process, sort of a gentlemen's handshake. that will not be possible with million of people using them. one of the hottest its in amazon over the christmas season. they'll fill the skies in the
11:44 pm
future. >> the industry itself is starting to take steps to d.j. i, the nature of the drone that crashed into the white house grounds, and happens to be the manufacture of a drone carrying 6 pounds of methamphetamines near the border. that company decided that this is putting a go lock on the products. it's going to include a software package that turns off the drone in air space over washington d.c. or certain airports. they are basically trying to take responsibility get out ahead of it in advance. right now we are seeing the gears of washington moving slowly when it comes to rapidly changing technology. the industry is trying to get out ahead of it. >> in the 75 years since the first social security benefits were issued offering a life
11:45 pm
line with the number of workers contributing to the system and declining, the future is under threat. this report from washington d.c. >> reporter: after working for most of their lives donna and her husband henry are retired. they rely on social security to pay their living expenses. donna says without her husband's help and government assistance date. >> i would have to give up my home. >> she is not alone. it's estimated without social security benefits most female retirees would be poor. it's why social security was created. at the it of the great depression the u.s. congress introduced social security to lift millions of poor disabled americans out of poverty. president roosevelt signed it into law.
11:46 pm
the first check for $22.54, about $389 today, was issued to ida may fuller. she never married, had no children and social security was her only form of retirement. for most the check runs at $1,100. after covering basic living expenses but that life line faces an uncertain future. >> when social security was created there was roughly $53,000 beneficiaries. contrast it to today. where more that 59,000 have social security checks. >> unless the u.s. congress changes the programme, funds for payments will run out next year. by 2033, money will be dwindling. that's why many advocate raised
11:47 pm
taxes on high income earners to cover the short falls. >> you don't pay social security on income over $118,000. >> heavily biased towards lower paid workers, who collect more than they will contribute. that led to a lack of politically to make sure social security is solvent. >> i don't feel optimistic about it being around for children and grand children. >> retirement years are less certain and secure the vatican launches a child important investigation. the african union reached an agreement to add thousands of soldiers to the fight against boko haram.

11:52 pm
killings of "charlie hebdo". so the question is raised - are west leaders exercising more pressure on the governments over the gaoling of journalists. >> all those that marched for "charlie hebdo" and free speech were hypocritical because they are not putting pressure on egypt. and the success of locking up journalists, and keeping them in gaol is being followed by autocratic regimes. >> this journalist was locked up in ethiopia for 438 days for trying to report internal rebel group hostile governments. free speech he believes is absolute, and rights should be
