captive killer whale. her trainer says it would be a death sentence to set her free. suicide, often the last chance to save them. we talk to a director of an oscar nominateed documentary. and we talk to the daughter of malcolm x 50 years after his assassination. >> my father redirected a human rights agenda. >> we begin tonight with the wawr in iraqwarin iraq which has now given way with the war for iraq. day after pentagon said that forces are planning for a major

offensive against i.s.i.l the city of mosul second largest in iraq, is been scared with fighting for years. today more than a decade later families in mosul are still under siege because the city is now controlled by i.s.i.l. refugees are trying to flee and the future for them and their city is uncertain. everybody has now been put on notice that a major battle this spring is coming. as iraqi troops with u.s. help prepare to try and make a crucial advantages. jamie mcintire is in washington with the latest. jamie. >> well, david the pentagon's background briefing by senior officials of the u.s. central command the florida was billed as an update on the topic of i.s.i.l. in syria but when the topic turned, the person was a little more forthcoming than

expected. >> mosul is the large eggs city in i.s.i.l. hands and the military campaign will begin in april or may and require up to 25,000 iraqi forces. given the reluctance to talk about any form of campaigns,. >> i'm wondering why detail this in advance? doesn't that just give your play book to the islamic state and make it easier for them to prepare to defend themselves against such an attack? >> josh, i think i saw many of the same news reports you may have seen on this. >> reporter: for months, the pentagon has been talking about the offensive to retake mosul but always pointedly refusing to say how and when. >> we're all focused on mosul. i'm not going to focus on the day or time of the week when it is going to happen. >> speaking on anonymity what

in pentagon parlance is the conops or concept of operations, iraqi brigades, to form the vanguard attacking the one to 2,000 i.s.i.l. fighters in mosul. while the peshmerga cuts supply license. the pentagon says it's all very obviously to anyone paying attention. >> we're getting all too fixated on mosul. yes, it's going to have to take terrain and yes, it is focused on mosul. >> senator john mccain has sent off an angry letter to president obama. these disclosures not only risk the success of our mission but could also cost the lives of

u.s., iraqi and coalition forces. now senators mccain and graham are demanding to know the name of the u.s. central command official who briefed the reporters saying that he should be held accountable whoever allowed him to brief that information. we contacted the u.s. central command in tampa florida and they had no official reaction to the request david. >> jamie has there been any reaction from i.s.i.l. through its online media outlets to all of this? >> well we're not aware of any direct response but i have to tell you that pentagon officials aren't expecting that this is going to have much of an effect on i.s.i.l. somebody speculated that they released this as a psychological way to unnerve i.s.i.l. but nobody is under any illusion that i.s.i.l. is going to be intimidated that iraqi forces are coming in the coming weeks.

>> jamie mcintire, thanks as always. british police tonight are appealing for help in finding three school girls believed to be on their way to join i.s.i.l. in syria. police say surveillance cameras at gatwig airport, they're surprised and disappointed at their disappearance. dew by, a huge fire broke out this evening at one of the world's tallest apartment towers. in a cruel irony the 1100 foot tall structure is nope as the torch. thousands of people have been evacuated and there are no reports of injuries and no indication yet as to what caused the fire at this moment is still out of control. the u.s. stock market hit an

all time high in part because greece extended a deal to for a bailout. the deal was about to fall apart but the euro zone gave greece another four months. eastern ukraine still is held firmly in the hands of pro-russian rebels. in kiev thousands of people gathered to mark the one year anniversary of the bloodiest day of protests in maidan square. jonah hull has that story. >> on kiev's maidan or independence square, where antigovernment protests take place, the faces of the dead

stair back. look back at them emotions still raw, those who well remember the worst day of gun fire and bloodshed. here they call those who fell the heavenly hundred and a year on some wonder whether it was all it. >> i think it's very high price for independence of our country and still hasn't been achieved. >> translator: no death is justifiable. but it happened. what can we do? they were fighting to remove the tyrant who was ruling us. >> reporter: president petro poroshenko booed by some in the crowd for his handling of the war in the east placed the blame squarely on russia. he has other problems. an economy on the verge of collapse amid rampant corruption. >> translator: we will win no matter how difficult it is, how many disasters we face. i promise you that we will prove those sacrifices will not go to waste. >> on the anniversary of the

worst day of shootings and killings on this square spot lights marked the places where protesters fell and an almost endless sea of people have come to pay their respect. there's been almost nothing in the way of justice or accountability since the layers of the old state still run deep here in ukraine cemented by corruption. igor, had he not been shot in the leg he would have been one of the men manning the lines in the east. >> i don't know how long it will take us to have peace and victory but it will come soon because everyone is tired of this and not just this. the other side is tired as well. >> maidan it turns out was only half the job and possibly the easy part. building a new state maintaining its borders uniting east and west, that could be much harder. jonah hull, al jazeera kiev.

>> pope francis used the anniversary today to call on both sides to end the fighting. he made the comments while meeting with ukrainian bishops at the vatican. he is praying all parties lay down their weapons and everybody pace respect to international law. the obama administration is reporting a new problem for those who bought health insurance from healthcare.gov. 800,000 customers got incorrect tax subsidy information. tax forms mailed to enrollees. the administration is allowing the end of april to seen up in order to cause a 2015 tax penalty. in april walmart's lowest employees will receive $9 an hour. more than the federal minimum wage but not as much as the $15 an hour that employees had been

asking for. roxana saberi is here with the latest roxana. >> david, walmart is the country's largest private employer. the rate increase will affect 500,000 employees or 40% of its workforce making less than $9 an hour. the pay raise comes after years of protests by workers and others who say the giant retailer was paying poverty level wages. >> save money live better what they tell us, right? >> walmart's motto save money live better, was part of the rally cry of this group. >> how they pay you at the place you work. >> workers have been demonstrating across the country for years demanding a raise. and now many will get one. >> we'll raise our starting pay. and we'll provide opportunities for further raises based on performance. >> reporter: starting in april

walmart's minimum hourly rate will raise to $9 and in february next year it will reach $10. it is more than the federal minimum wage, $7.25 an hour but falls short of the $15 an hour many employees had campaigned for. >> that's still not enough for a full time worker to keep the family of four out of poverty and in fact many walmart workers are not full time and they've been asking for full time work. >> the wage increase may help walmart hold onto its employees. the increase will affect about 500,000 workers. 40% of the chain's workforce. and cost the company $1 billion to implement. >> that money has to come from somewhere. so it could come from the shareholders in terms of lower profits. it could come from the suppliers in terms of lower prices. >> but some analysts who say consumers who like walmart's low prices shouldn't feel the

impact. >> there are lots of competition for the things they sell, low cost provider of goods and services. i think it's going to be difficult for walmart to pass along those costs in any way that's going to be meaningful to people. >> a $9 an hour full time employee would earn about $18,000 a year. that's about half the median income in the u.s. >> a stocker at walmart joins it tonight from denver. barbara, first of all what's your reaction of walmart to raise the loiest wages up to $9 an how? >> i'm really excited that you know the employees that stood up and fought for it. that the newer employees that had the lower wages are going to be getting a better pay. but, you know, we're hoping that

it's still not enough because you know, it's still a poverty wage. >> as i understand it you're makings 10.40 an hour and you you work enough hours to qualify for benefits most of the time. but tell us what's the biggest challenges in your day-to-day financial efforts? >> just trying to make it paycheck to paycheck. it's -- you know, the amount of bills that you have, don't -- far exceed the amount of pay that you get. >> i -- i mean how far do you live from work? i mean gasoline, if gasoline goes down does that provide a little bit of cushion? or is it paycheck to paycheck regardless? >> it -- i mean it affects it a little bit but i mean it's paycheck to paycheck regardless. it's the cost of groceries and health insurance and car insurance and, you know, i can afford my health insurance but i

can't afford the deductible. so it's tough. >> what do you make of the argument that walmart at least is making that is that employees like yourself and others, if they have to continue to raise the wage they play have to lay off employees or conversely they may have to charge more for what people pay for at walmart stores to begin with? >> my employer is a multibillion dollar retailer, the largest retailer in the world. we make them a bunch of money every year. i think they could afford to invest some of that profit back into their employees. >> are you a shopper at walmart or do you try to seek out stores where the prices are even less? >> well, always, you know, if there's a bargain i'm going to go where the bargain is but i mean i do shop at walmart. i limit my shopping but yes.

>> barbara we appreciate you coming on and talking about the difficulty of life when you are only making just over $10 an hour. thanks for coming on al jazeera america, we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> still ahead catch and release. the whale in florida caught between the miami seaquarium and animal rights activists. and here, the issue has nothing to do with the sweeteners. sweeteners.

sea. >> federal prosecutors filed charges against the nation's largest energy producer. duke was involved in illegal coal ash dumps at several coal fired power plants in that state. duke is negotiating $202 million settlement with the government

over that situation. the federal government has taken steps to protect lolita a killer whale. jonathan betz is here with more. >> the fight to free this killer whale has been going on for decades but rarely do animal rights activists feel better than they do now. >> this is a loaded question. >> when we went looking for answers. >> i can't believe i'm the first one to ask you these questions. over miami seaquarium's biggest star. she's been performing here for more than 40 years. the long career that activists say needs to end. ever since being caught in the waters off washington state in

1970 lolita's been dazzling crowds and agonizing animal rights groups. websites have been launched. ♪ free lolita ♪ >> and websites formed urging her to be freed. >> it's bearing some fruit and there's hope for the first time. >> federal agencies added lolita to a small group of orcas. >> impact to those whales would have to be very carefully considered. >> groups hope to move lolita to a sea pen in the pacific northwest and perhaps reunite her with other killer whales. >> she is in trouble she needs to be rescued in a tiny tank. >> it's no more than four times the length of her body. the oldest and smallest whale

tank in the country critics say although the park insists it is legal. >> i think a lot of people are going to have a hard time understanding how that could be a good environment for lolita. >> why? >> because she's been in the same pool a little pool for 44 years. >> people live in houses for 44 years. >> but they are able to leave the house go and see other things. lolita can't. >> lolita's cared for here. i mean that's really the bottom line. >> when i asked about expanding the pool he suddenly ended the interview. >> i have a lot more respect in a lot of other interviews. >> i assure you i'm not trying to be disrespectful. i'm sorry that's what you're feeling. are you ending the interview? >> that's way it's going to go partner.

>> plain and simple if you release her she's going to die. >> you're convinced of that? >> absolutely, 100%. >> releasing a killer whale into the wild has been done before. >> keiko the star of the hit movie free willie pap in real life his freedom wasn't so easy. before he could be released, keiko had to learn again how to be a wild whale like holding his breath and even catching his own food. it cost millions and after being on his own a year, keiko died in 2003. >> unfortunately he didn't have that happy hollywood ending. he could be still alive today. >> yet garrett calls it a success story keiko liched well. >> he lived in native iceland loved his native waters. so that is my experience.

>> others worry it's simply too late for lolita. ross rector wants seaquarium closed. >> if you are falling on your face for 20 years it ain't going to happen but it's a great fund raiser. >> activists say keeping up the pressure to release her but for now, as the fight continues lolita will keep performing in the only home she's known for nearly half a century. >> now that lolita's considered endangered activates say activists say she has extra protections but that's something the court will have to decide. >> thank you jonathan. a marine activist was criticized for having her moved.

we talk about whether moving the wail could be deadly. >> transporting these animals is always difficult. they do do this a lot they move killer whales around from marine park to marine park quite often. that protocol is in place and that's what would be used to move lolita. but they are not used to be out of the water and that gives worry. but given lolita's robust health, i think she can handle it. >> but simply the record with whrails is when they've been -- whales so long, when they've been in there for 44 years the odds are that it would not survive any sort of relocation. >> pens are not a new concept for these animals in captivity. this is something that the miami seaquarium is trying to tell

people that this is just a radical idea. the fact is, is that marine mammals, whales dolphins around the world are held in sea pens everywhere, held in sea pens in florida, dolphins, this is not a concept. lolita has been living in a box. if you know that have been there you know she can barely move around in the box she is in. >> is it possible by going to that larger more natural space the l psychological stressors would be too great? >> frankly, i don't believe so. i think she's intelligent robust, well adjusted considering where she is and to be brutally honest, the fact is that there was a whale who lived with her for ten years and he died in a fairly dreadful way. the fact is that she is a very

good candidate for retirement. i don't think she's a good candidate for release given her age. that's not what we're proposing. >> the argument is that while being in a small pen can have stressors that can hurt a whale's health you're saying she's in good health so why not simply continue, foreclose people what killer whales are like? >> that is not what killer whales are like. she is not ideal representative, she's all alone. the show at the miami seaquarium is a mockery a circus show. it's not great at all. she could be a far more important ambassador for her species by returning her to the waters where she was born where her family still resides where her mother is probably still alive would be so horrible for her is really a disturbing idea. what did the miami seaquarium do

to her that makes her so fragile where she can't be trowrnd returned to her home waters where she lived before she was caught. >> thank you for appearing. >> thank you for covering this story about. coming up. malcolm x's daughter about his legacy. culprit appears to be a chemical used to create the caramel color.

>> hello everybody this is al jazeera america. i'm david schuster in new york. coming up in this half hour. malcolm x 50 years after his assassination. we'll take a close look at his controversial life of the civil rights icon. and his daughter and her fight to set the record straight.

>> in 12 short years he made a significant impact around the world. >> also, reaching out the crisis holt line for veterans contemplating suicide. it is the subject of an oscar nominated documentary. we'll talk to the producer and the impact of a life of war. the man simply known as malcolm x. he was a controversial african american leader. civil rights icon. >> malcolm x was born malcolm little in omaha nebraska. mall com's family faced frequent death threats by the ku klux klan. when he was six his father was found dead, the family alleged

it was murder. at 20, he was convictto convictof robbery and sentenced to prison. malcolm dropped the last name little which he considered a slave name and adopted the letter x in its place. he rose quickly in the nation of islam as his charismatic and vibrant speeches attracted thousands of new members. criticized martin luther king, jr.'s philosophy of nonviolence. he married in 1956 and had six children all girls. after he felt the leader elijah mohamed had committed adultery

and fathered children with women not his wife. harmonious solution to america's race problem. his efforts were cut short in february 25th, 1965 he was gunned down. three members of the nation of islam were convicted for assassination ever malcolm x. meaive, almichael eaves. al jazeera. >> we don't advocate violence but our people have been the constant victims of brutality on the part of america's racists and the government has found itself either unwilling or unable to do anything about it. >> reporter: malcolm x didn't sugar coat his message. >> i think the black movement

will create a black backlash. >> preached racial tolerance and cooperation, malcolm's message was aggressive. >> out of necessity we have reached the point where our people must form defense units where we can provide. >> all black nation of islam. the split came the same year malcolm traveled abroad meeting foreign leaders and muslims who were not white. he moderated his views but still stressed black independence. >> we should do something to up lift our own society and put it on par with others. >> this mosque in harlem is one of malcolm x's legacies.

his lifetime and legacy today extend beyond religion. malcolm is part of popular culture. >> you can find malcolmx in tuupac and cuba, one is malcolmx and one is tupac. >> what is the one thing people need to know about malcolm x? >> he was motivated by the love of his people and not hatred of other peoples. >> he feels a connection to malcolm. >> he's a source of hope for those who have been beaten down by the system, if you will. the downtrodden the underclass as it's sometimes called. looking at a person like malcolm who was able to pick himself up

and clean himself up, in the context of the nation of islam with the mentorship initially of elijah mohamed. a lot of people can reld to relate to that. >> how many of you have read the autobuying if i of malcolmautobiography of plal ma'am com malcolm x. >> i didn't know who malcolm x was until i came to shamberg. >> what percentage would you say know about malcolm x? >> know of him? probably all but know who he was and what he was about i'd say

very few. >> what is malcolm x's legacy? >> fighting for what you believe is right, no matter if other people disagree with you. >> being unapologetically black and giving yourself the room to grow and evolve and i think not being afraid. >> dr. martin luther king, jr. sent a telegram to his widow betty shabaz. three years later king was assassinated. neither man reached his 40th birthday. >> iliat ofssa al shabaz is the daughter ever malcolm. what do you consider your

father's legacy? >> whoa, that's a big one. gosh, let's say that my father was only in his 20s when the world learned of him. and he was assassinated martyred, you know at 39. and 12 short years he made a significant impact around the world. nelson mandela said, when a man has served his country and his people he can then rest in peace. and so i would say my daughter did a pretty good job about representing his people and his country. >> your father initially encouraged blacks to overcome racism by any means necessary. dr. cornell west says that your father was then demonized in comparison to dr. martin luther king who advocated nonviolence. do you think that your father and his legacy perhaps got a bad rap as a result? >> absolutely, absolutely got

abad rap. my father was one to address a problem and then solve it. and so i think he put a mirror up and said this is our problem. we must address it. we must seriously address it. if we did we wouldn't have the same challenges we have 50 years later. >> it's a sad time but for you i think perhaps there's somewhat of a satisfaction now. you were only two years old at the time he was assassinated and for so many people to remember him now how does that make you feel? >> i was two and a half, when we're young we put the half in but older we don't. i have profound respect adoration, love. look what he did he was only in his 20s he was killed at 39 and it was just the young years that he was able to do all that he did. he didn't ask for a penny in

return for himself and his family. >> in the 12 crucial years of his work that you mentioned you see a pivotal arc in his evolution as a man. >> yes absolutely. you know it's one thing to be raised during the jim crow era during the civil rights movement. one of the significant things is that my father redirected the civil rights movement to include a human rights agenda. and so when my -- when he made his hajj, much like when i made mine it was a time for him to not only be treated like a man but to be amongst people of ethnic diversity and you know, praise god and relate with one another, and so i think that it was such a difference between the life that he lived growing up here, and having experienced

that sense of peace and equality that was transformative. >> what about the reaction to perhaps one of the most significant political events that many of us will remember, and that is the election of the first african american president, president barack obama, how would your father have reacted to that? >> i think he would have been elated as we all were. once we have this man in office then it becomes the responsibilities of the citizens to have an agenda and push that agenda forward. that we can't sit back and think that one person is going to change everything. but that we all have to take responsibility and do our part. >> but given that cornell west, for example a big defender of your father has said that barack obama is a disappointment, do you think your father would have considered the obama presidency some sort of disappointment? >> no, i don't think so.

because if there was more change that my father would have wanted that he would have participated in some way to make sure that that agenda was enacted. >> you've written a novel based on so many of the people who knew your father, fictional novel but shows that the black pride that his parents instilled in him. what do you hope younger readers will get out of the message of your novel? >> i'm not going to say the novel shows he's a criminal. it shows the foundation that malcolm had his plotting was very much educated and showed the value of learning, and his father was killed by the kkk his mother was taken put in an institution, his family was torn apart, they did this to many families during the time. and malcolm was in pain but he went to a reform school in another area separated from his

siblings and evenly still at this school -- even still at this school he was the president of the seventh grade class and when his teacher said he what do you want to be when you grow up, he didn't say i want to be a teacher or he said i want to be a lawyer. his teacher said no you can't be a lawyer you're going to have to do other things. malcon com was in pain. he came from this little hik town in the midwest and the streets kind of pulled him in. >> that value malcolm had of education as opposed to the culture of celebrity that we see in so many corners of society we see today, how much is that fal missing from today's world -- that value is missing from today's world? >> for not changing for not instilling specific values and teaching our children about the

truth of say history of education anywhere in the world. if we're talking about the society, it's extremely important that true history is incorporated into our educational curriculum so that our children all of them have the opportunity to feel self love to feel leadership you know ability to participate in mainstream society. >> iliasa al shabab. thank you for coming. >> an intriguing interview with jestie jackson that's coming up. cold temperatures more to come this weekend meteorologist nicole mitchell is here. nicole. >> south and east a brief warmup for a couple of days and then it changes again. let's take a look at the radar because we already have some

areas that are starting to see ice with all this. there it is. you can see the pinks in places like tennessee. we have seen some of the precipitation reports, that means the roads will be slick overnight. the brightest parts of tennessee the ice storm warning the bull's eye of all of this. areas can see quarter of an inch or more ever frozen precipitation. that could weigh down the power lines and cause them oto come down. starting as freezing precipitation then swishes over to flow. then it turns over to rain. tomorrow in the northeast snow, but then it switches over to raven probably for sunday before it clears out. now that is warm side of it when we get a little bit of rain. can you see that into the day tomorrow -- you can see that into the day tomorrow. enjoy the milder temperatures

briefly while we have them. a lot of people in the northeast you're also covered with the crust of salt on your car. >> yes. >> you can leave it outside on saturday and maybe -- >> nicole thank you. a food coloring found in many sodas and soft drinks can increase a person's risk for cancer. the report focuses on a chemical called 4 mel. an artificial colorant to turn sodas brown. some people school enough of that coloring to put them at risk. finding people who drink some soda may be exposed to chemicals that cause cancer in animals doctor this highly dangerous chemical what is the benefit or

reason for this chemical coloring? >> caramel color has nothing for flavor or preservation. >> what is it about 4 mei? >> it has been shown to cause cancer in mice. >> what can consumers do to be ton lookout for this caramel color in sodas? >> look at that time ingredient list. fit doesn't have caramel color they're really not at risk to being exposed to this chemical. what i would say, if you are particularly concerned about being exposed to it, i would limit the consumption of sodas that have the colorant in it. we are starting to understand the potential for cancer risk that is attributable to this chemical. i think wider action, to actually minimize people's

exposures and lower their risks. >> one of those regulator agencies is the food and drug administration. what if anything have they done. >> the food and drug administration has been aware of it, they are not regulating for mei, most of their work has been limited to looking at different types of food that has the presence of this chemical contaminant. >> how does that compare to artificial sweeteners that for years americans have been warned are particularly dangerous? >> i think our knowledge of those various artificial sweeteners has continued to evolve. >> you did find a difference in terms of the amount of 4 mei based on geographic location. tell us a little bit about that. >> so the state of california

actually regulates exposure to 4 mei. a product containing 4 mei cannot lead to exposure without a requirement from the state that that product carry a warning label that the product contains a carcinogenic content. significantly lower in california than they were in new york where we looked and we believe that that derchtion has differential has a great deal to do. >> thank you for being on al jazeera america. >> thank you for having me. we've been the only news network to profile all ten oscar

nominated documentaries. call center, the last line of defense between soldiers and suicide. >> thank you for calling the veterans crisis line. how can i help you? >> as seen through the eyes of responders at a crisis hot line. these people are incredibly heroic they field phone calls night and day that come in to this call center which is the only call center that's set up in the u.s. to take phone calls from veterans, family members and active duty folks who are in crisis of some kind. when we started working on this film had 2012 i think the statistic that was most shocking for us was to learn that more military members were dying by their own hands than were dying on the battlefield. it takes a certain kind of person to be able to be a worker at a call center. i think you have to be

incredibly strong, you have to have perspective. you have to realize that the outcome of the call is not always in your hands. >> i've been involved in rest accuse where we have lost a vet or he has committed suicide. we go through the whole range of emotions, we get angry at least i do, we feel very sad. >> the range of emotions can run the gamut. some of them have lost very close comrades in battle and watched them die. >> no, kenneth you can't close this chapter. i'm not going to leave you i'm not going to go anywhere. i'm going to stay with you. >> if we are hoping that this film encourages, there is a place to call, you don't have to do it by yourself.

>> crisis hot line veterans press 1. another oscar noimentd documentarynominateddocumentary, the reaper, a shocking exposeshocking exposé. >> efrain who works in a slaughterhouse we are seeing the daily life of efrain working there we are listening about his thoughts the deep relation he has with that, and makes this analogy of killing bulls and the losses of his parents and family. efrian kills 500 bulls a day since 25 years ago. he is always hawpted by his haunted

in his work. he has in his face the expression of images every day killing every day living every day with death. >> he likes his job. he feels important in that place. he feels that he's doing a very important job and he like it. to film there for me was a very intensive experience because i was very close with bulls that are being killed with the skin that i was taking off it was very hard to get out from there every day and go with these images and with -- yeah with this feeling of seeing cows killing every day and bulls. and it was -- yeah, kind of

intensive for me. >> up next. just 20 years old and up and coming designer takes new york's fashion week by storm.

>> afghanistan is facing a new crisis, the loss of foreign money, stephanie sy, in our next story.

stephanie. >> thousands of u.s. troops were stationed in afghanistan and now they're mostly gone. those soldiers were buying goods and services and now that they're gone afghans are losing their livelihoods. >> it has deprived almost 50,000 afghan, afghan intellectuals afghan scholars and afghan professionals and they have become jobless. >> coming up afghan impact. we have a packed show coming up. >> all right stephanie. joie chen goes behind the scenes with one of the most talked about designers. >> some of the world's most drop dead gorgeous girls are at best a wreck. >> i look like an alien.

>> although it's not anything an army of artists and stylists can't perfect. standing at the center of the backstage blur is a familiar name. and at the same time, a very new one in fashion. the up and comer of this fashion week is 20-year-old august getty. and yes. he is one of those gettys. >> my name is j. paul getty. >> hi great grandfather j paul, was an oil wildcatter, only 21 when he started to his business. went on to become the world's richest man. the gettys are known for their collections, one of the world's largest style of stock images. but this is a very different getty. who says at first he wasn't sure he even wanted to use the name.

>> i went through so many different names before i figured out i wanted to use august getty as my brand. i kept asking myself, why should i be ashamed of this, you know what i mean. >> there are people who would say, you're treading on your name. the only success you're having is because you're a getty. >> there are people who would say that. they're wrong. you can't buy your way into this. >> a single fashion week show can cost upwards of $250,000, just to stage.but august getty isn't into the business for the money. >> it comes easy for me. i try to make people feel something. i always wonder if it's wasteful what i'm doing and if it's not going to make an imprint.
