sex-coupleses on the other side, those supporting not to issue these, now tony it was unclear, how things would play out today as this clerk came to work just hours ago, the supreme decided not to uphold this position, her position is that she does not have to issue these, because it conflicts with her beliefs. now today, two same sex-coupleses went into the courthouse here right when the courthouse opened. they were again denied, we talks to one man, he says he and his partner have now been denied four times and after this time he says he is ready to go to court.

a distribute court has ruled against this clerk, and the supreme court has now effectively upheld what they have ruled and so they say she has to follow the law. it is unclear what will happen today, but at this point it appears she will stick to her beliefs right now i don't know there's an answer to this, but i will ask it anyway. so the woman, the clerk, is an employee of the court system of the state, whatever it is. right, the city, the state. she is an employee. la saw the law. she is disobeying the law. can she be fired? for not obeying the law? and if so, why not? >> bell that's the question, no one has been able to answer that question.

it appears she would have to be removed from office. obviously she was voted into office this is an elected position. so we will find out what happens next, but at this point, it isn't clear. >> okay. and you have -- i want you to take a look around you leer, you have the two sides sort of facing off here. which side is in support of the clerk, which side is asking that the law be applied here? i see dancing on one side, and i see some tri-quarter hats on the other side, what is going on? >> yeah, so over on this side, we can pan over, these are folks who are same sex-coupleses and their supporters. these are supporter whose feel that what the clerk is doing is wrong. people a say who she is doing is perfectly fine.

and tony, we will see what happens next. there is a court hearing on thursday. a federal judge will hear this. he will hear what this woman has to say. will she be held in contempt of court, will she go to jail. all those are big questions that we just don't have the answers to but thursday will be the next decision. >> i don't kite get it, but maybe the fact that she is an elected official has something to do with it. jonathon appreciate it. priest to forgive women who have had abortions in the a letter published by the vatican. the pope described the moral ordeal and how they can seek forgiveness during the upcoming holy year. that women with that receive the procedure are automatically excommunicated. with the academy for life in

rome, says the statement is in keeping with one of his main themes. mercy. it is like having a cure for cancer and making it free for everyone for a year. mow some people may not be so happy with that decision. but for the rest of us, we are very happy, and within this context of mercy, of the year for mercy, pope francis has again wowed us with the fact that popes are people too. women are in pain who have gone through this experience, which we are now finding out has a lot of side effects physically, spiritually, he is basically opening up the door, and allowing for any woman who has had an abortion to con to the confessional and receive healing. >>

>> to mean the church will change it's position on abortion. thousands more pages of hillary clinton's emails are now online. the state department released them overnight. some of the messages she stored on a private email server while she was secretary of state. now the state department published more than 4,000, these are emails she sent in 2009 and 2010, this is one of 150 messages in the new release that has been marked as confidential. mike all of those 150 or so flag messaged were listed as confidential, not classified. that seems to me an important distinction. >> above you you have secret and top secret. and various clay figure

cases. and so now real political bomb shells here. that will be used for potter for the political opponents. including the 16 running for president on the republican side. but nevertheless, this continues the drip drip drip of a phenomenon of a story that has plagued hillary clinton and seen the trust in her as reflected in the publicle proking really waning on the democratic side. >> a lot of it day-to-day, and prosaic kind of messages. there's some conversations in a serious vain transition awaying from that, looking

for a read out about efforts to pursue talks with iran over it's nuclear program, of course those just coming to a conclusion, but they are also kind of more mundane or silly or odd as much has been noted. messages coming from hillary clinton of a personal nature, back and forth with many of her close aids. ten no major political damage here, but 150 of them have been redacted as you pointed out because they are deemed to be confidential, and of course the controversy continues over the fact that she used her private email server to conduct any kind of official business whatsoever. while secretary of state. >> all right. let's just leave it there. until there's something that stands out for you. mike, thank you. president obama will hike a melting glacier later today. part of his trip to alaska, he is highlighted the dangers of climate change. the president is asking congress to speed up construction -- pardon me, of

new ice breakers. let's go to the piece now from libby casey. >> president obama delivering a warning at the beginning of his trip, that human activity is warming the planet. he called this science stark, and he says the climate change isn't a problem in the far off future, it is a problem here and now. he said it is already impacted infrastructure, communities, health, and the future. >> if those continue the way they are, there's not going to be a nation on this earth that is not impacted. people will suffer. the economies will suffer. >> the president will use the

back drop to highlight the issue of climate change. visiting a glacier that is retreating. visit native communities to learn about their way of life, because this is ground zero for climate change. >> the arctic is the leading edge of climate change. our leading indicator of what the entire planet faces. arctic temperatures are rising about twice as fast as the global average. over the past 60 years alaska has warmed about twice as fast as the rest of the united states. >> last year, was alaska's warmest year on record. just as it was for the rest of the world. >> even as president obama is delivers a warning about climb change, he is catching criticism from environmentalist. they are concerned about his recent decision to allow exploratory oil drilling off the coast. they say that will just

contribute more. but president obama defending the decision saying that it was a process started back during the bush administration, and that he believes it can be done safely. and that that won't stop an increased push -- for us, the president's visit is also highlighting the growing international significance of the arctic, critics fear the u. is losing ground there. >> the polar ice is heating up arctic rivalries stake their claims to the region strategic waterways and rich resources. according to the u.s. gee logical survey, roughly 13% of the undiscovered oil, and 30% of undiscovered gas are in the arctic, most of is under the ocean. that's nearly a quarter of the hydrocarbon reserves. >> the arctic fish stock, while melting ice is opening up new saelands that can dramatically cut shipping

times and costs between the u.s., asian and european markets. but who will reap these spoils? eight countries have territories inside the arctic circle, but five major mails are russia, united states, norway, and denmark through it's territory treatment. a global treaty gives mayses control over resources within 200 nautical miles, and less than it claims to extend that footprint. now the united states hasn't ratified that treaty. but orinases are pressing ahead, most notably, russia. which in august, formally layed claim to an additional 463,000 square miles of territory. that grab was telegraphed back in 2007, when russia planted a flag on the seabed of the north pole. and moscow is increasingly flexing it's plus until the, a tick, ramping up air patrols, holding unannounced war games and reopening soviet bases.

not enough to bolster it's presence, which combined with allies is significant, which begs the question, is russia's investment worth it? given the 50% oil prices expensive arctic oil plays may not be worth it now, but as the long term play, moscow is betting that top of the world will pay off. >> patricia reporting. let's take a look at these live pictures. emotions are running high, at train station in budapest. after police seal off a terminal to stop refugees looking for a tint to safety.

compared to places like hawaii which paid more, but has been more aggressive. we have sun, we have wind, we have mass. we need to embrace other energy forms. >> but he says the problems go much further, from ancient power plans to years of wasteful spending. >> corruption, what drives decision making it is not the means of the people to get the contract. he says he saw the largest power plants decisions based on favors pet projects that were started but never finished. they know how to do it, so get the politician out. another concern is that many aren't paying their share. local government public housing, churches even hotels
