8:25 pm
haters and the naysayers. we didn't come with a chip on our shoulder to have anything to prove. >> reporter: ranger school is a series of tests. parachuting from aircraft, undergoing weeks of mock combat all on meager rations. no special treatment for them either, says the army. pushing back online trash talk, suggesting the women got an easier ride. >> we will continue to tell people this was no change of the standards and students not only complete the standards they passed the patrols, they passed their peers and that's why they will be ranger graduates. >> while greist and haver are pioneers, they won't be fighting on the front lines, for a while. because the military rules won't let them to. there are about 200,000 jobs
8:26 pm
that remain closed to them. the defense secretary's reviewing this policy and says he's on course to make a decision by the new year. >> on october 1st the services will provide a report to the chairman requesting any exceptions to this policy. and i'll review the service's recommendation and make a final determination on that issue by the end of this year. >> reporter: but that's for another day. for now, the nation's celebrating two new heroes women who are making history and laying the groundwork for women like them who will follow. john terret, al jazeera. >> and with me in the studios in new york, is tanya domey, a retired captain and drill instructor and jesse dean, tanya i'll start with you. we are no longer talking about if, but when, when will we see
8:27 pm
women in the front line in combat roles? >> well, actually what's interesting about this is that women are already engaged in combat. >> i've had conversations with women who tell me the same thing. so official -- >> officially that began in 2013 when the secretary of defense said, i'm prepared to support this going forward. the training of these soldiers who just passed the ranger course in the united states army, and their successful completion, is a major, major step forward. it is exceptional. and it demonstrates that with opportunity, and with good training, that they excelled and mastered in that they have proven their mettle to serve in combat roles. >> i have talked to veterans who
8:28 pm
have said, they are in that role and they are suffering post-traumatic stress disorder. what is the difference? >> there is a difference. than fighting in combat. we have not had hand to hand combat in fallujah like our marines and soldiers were. we have no long term data of sustained combat operations and the impact upon women and the reality is, is women have great significant attrition rates compared to men. now, women get upset when i say that. but that's the different biological difference between men and women. there is a reason we have not been in the infantry up to this point. because even, even if we were to lower a standard, the fact of the matter is that women will be geared to be at the bottom 3 to 5% because you're competing with the best men. all men i know in the infantry
8:29 pm
never settle for the minimum standard. they push themselves to exceed or go beyond that. that will get passed down to the women. what are the women able to do if they can't run as fast as the men do? there is no biological way they can. we have to face that. >> there are 13 countries now who already allow women in combat roles. france germany spain, canada. women on the front line, doesn't it seem disingenuous to not put forward every man woman on the front line to fight? >> that is not true, the same with israelis, often women like myself are trained in multiple weapons, i can shoot i can kill but we have not been in fallujah, we have not had face
8:30 pm
to face hand to hand combat unless it was in a defensive measure. that is the difference. >> i'm going to push back here and say that actually, since gregrenada, women have been in aggressive the combat like warfare. >> i agree. >> let her finish. we have had medics demonstrate their bravery and mettle under fire. one combat veteran received a silver star in iraq. special torses and infantry men on patrols with these female engagement teams because they needed women when they come across civilian women and be culturally appropriate. so they are risking and they are
8:31 pm
getting additional training to do this, and it is combat training. >> so ms.-- [simultaneous speech] >> i need to make my point very clear. >> let me ask this question then. if both of what you are saying is true, then what happened in georgia with these women passing the ranger test? is this just window dressing? >> okay first of all, because they passed the ranger training does not make them rangers. it doesn't make anybody out of that rangers. >> they are ranger qualified. >> no they are not. >> they are ranger -- >> may i finish? >> let her finish now. >> they got the tab but in order to get the ranger, they have to go through another crucible of tests along with the men who choose that route. this is a leadership school for the army. you're fully aware of that captain, you know that's true. let me address one thing, women
8:32 pm
in combat i'm not debating that. when you are addressing special forces can the captain address how high the attrition rate? 167% next to the men. how do we justify pushing all these women until they break and is the military going to pay for the disability because we have a great higher rate of disability. >> okay -- >> let her finish. >> okay. >> she posed a question to you. >> go ahead. >> actually what i'd like to say to you is the fact that a lot of women are attritting out of the military because they have been denied opportunity to progress in the ranks. >> what percentage? >> there has been a lot of disengagement from the military from women attritting out at the rank of captain because they can see the road maps going out. i'd like to see her data. >> before we smoops.
8:33 pm
>> i don'[simultaneous speech] >> i don't want to get -- >> this is what's happening. >> captain -- are sergeant, captain sergeant. >> i'm a gunnery sergeant not a sergeant. >> thank you. >> for a second, in order to have a conversation about women in combat we have to have an ordinarily conversation about women in combat. captain i'll let you continue and then gunnery sergeant i'll be back with you. >> the fact of the matter is women compose across the services almost 15% of the force. the lowest utilization of the women in the military is in the marine corps. the highest percentage of women being utilized is in the air force. so the army has taken a major step forward here and said okay we're going to give these officers an opportunity to demonstrate their skills. the fact is, you cannot complete
8:34 pm
the mission now without women on the battlefield and because of the mayor of asymmetrical warfare and the way it is now in the 21st century, women are engaged in combat. why don't we give them the official, the official designation that they so rightly deserved whether they demonstrated their mastery of these skills? >> gunnery sergeant i will ask you these questions, do you believe these two women should receive any special recognition for what they managed to accomplish or do you believe this is all something in which washington is just trying to be politically correct? >> i completely agree, this is politically correct because there has been no combat evidence that we need women in the front lines on special forces. i'm not debating the captain on our efficiency. i was a marine for 20 years. i supported the infantry. i was in the field with the
8:35 pm
infantry, i get this, i also carried the packs that were 120 pounds. at times, your body breaks. i want the women to stop saying, the data doesn't matter. the data does matter. i know a combat engineer who went infertile for six months. every day she had to carry 100 plus pounds. she could never recover, and she needed rest and she became infertile. we're going to put them in a disability ranking doing that? i think that's completely irresponsible. >> let me show you what the american public feels about this issue. we asked the question how do women feel about women in combat, and there was a pew research poll said that 66% support the right of women
8:36 pm
certaining in combat. 26% say they do not, 8% say they are not sure. captain are you concerned that members of the military watching this debate between the two of you right now because you're on the front lines of this issue are going to say see, i told you so, i told you they weren't ready? >> here is the point. the point is they are ready, they have been serving. they have been engaged in combat. >> the gunnery sergeant seems to be saying they can't hold up. >> she's saying f that but these women in georgia their colleagues their fellow students said, i passed because she helped me. captain greist help me pick up the weapon and carry a saw weapon when he couldn't carry it. what i'm also saying is, this isn't a pc thing that has been suggested here. that this went through a rigorous review process. within the pentagon. and legality me make a note of
8:37 pm
when former chief of staff of the united states army ray o odiernno arrived in iraq, he looked down and it was a female, she said, i'm here to protect you sir. he realized then that the army had definitely changed. so this wasn't some kind of pc overture. this was based on their bravery their ool valor to fight under difficult and challenging situations, around it is a progressive element that we have witnessed he b since 1945, that
8:38 pm
change in 1992, i was personally involved in that when i worked on the house armed services committee and so now we have women flying in combat aircraft and that seemed to be just -- >> and let me -- i've got 30 seconds left and i want to get this balanced. gunnery sergeant i'll give you the last word. 30 seconds. >> that not the topic in 1945. i also served with vehicles, i have shot from a turret from the top of a humvee, that's not new. people have to understand that until we can arthur these womene women are not medically discharged, it is medical that is their biggest issue that we have to deal with. >> thank you very much, tanya domey, retired u.s. army captain, jessie jane duff, thank you both for taking a deeper look tonight. and i'm sure this debate will
8:39 pm
8:41 pm
8:42 pm
>> in danger of running dry. >> there'll come a time when we fight over every last drop of water in the river. >> where's the water going? >> i worry about the future generations - what are they going to have? >> faultlines investigates the shrinking colorado river. >> no group of people can have their american dream... we have to pay that price. >> they work for tips. some if costumes, others topless wearing nothing but paint. they are allowed to accept those tips when they pose for pictures. with tourism at an all time high in new york city, a way to rein them in. courtney kealy has the story. >> martin sco scorsese's pimps
8:43 pm
portrayed in midnight cowboys. keeping their acts relative g-rated, since new york city's war on crime transformed the area to the most visible place in the world. nicknamed the crossroads of the world every day. >> it's gorgeous down here. >> this family likes to bring their granddaughter to this area. >> when we grew up there was prostitution, sex acts, now theach cleaned ithey've cleaned. >> reporter: now it's the so-called painted ladies
8:44 pm
bedeviling the city officials. they carve out turf. >> the naked cowboy has been out here for quite a few years. and according to the law, a female can be topless wherever a man can be. >> they are realize allowed to go topless. >> we don't dance, we're entertainers, just like everybody else, costumes, naked ladies, painted ladies. >> posing for pictures, constitutional rights need to be respected, it's a problem that officials say needs better regulation as businesses. new york police commissioner bill bratton said they should tear up the plaza, which cost $26 million under the previous administration. bill deblasio said he would consider it.
8:45 pm
>> don't want them to consider removing the plaza. >> she took her top off to consider not eliminating the plaza. >> one said put your blouse back on. but they cheered and smiled. >> i came from vegas last week and it's the same there. new york it's the same, l.a. it's the same, so i don't like it. >> reporter: the stakes are high. last year more than 56 million tourists visited new york city. generating over $57 billion in total economic impact. courtney kealy, al jazeera. >> the department of housing and urban development, hud says the it wants to kick tenants out who make too much money.
8:46 pm
found 25,000 tenants who make more than the government allows. the cap is just below $52,000, in new york city. in mississippi it's just over $14,000. a lot of the families exceeded by small amounts, and the survey said many exceeded by more than $10,000. earlier knit we talked to christina rabali, she said this audit is more of a sign that the whole system is broken. >> well, the goals should be to remove people from poverty. and the goal should be to remove people from these welfare programs. we should be really encouraging policies that rise to the level of income and then they can move off of these government programs. but the way that it is now, these public housing tenants they are not required to
8:47 pm
resubmit any form of income verification, once they are approved. and so this audit also shows that there were people that have been on this program since 1974. that are currently making over $200,000 a year well above the income requirements. so there's no incentive currently at all to move those people off. >> coming up on al jazeera america, u.s. military base on okinawa, and those who say they should go. we look at the gross opposition. growing opposition. opposition.

8:59 pm
those studies. the majority of those studies showing that the more and more you play the more and more aggressive you're likely to become. >> and aggression meaning what? >> that's a good question. aggression, most of these studies look at relatively minor forms of aggression, bullying, sometimes in the laboratory using aggressive behavior what's safe to did i do in a laboratory situation. there hasn't been as much study, that's harder to do with children in the community, there aren't that many children involved in serious criminal behavior. >> jeb bush has apparent committed the first issue,
