>> "faultlines". >> what do we want? >> al jazeera america's hard-hitting... >> today the will be arrested. >> ground-breaking... >> they're firing canisters of gas at us. >> emmy award-winning, investigative series. >> we have to get out of here. >> this is aljazeera america, live from new york city, and tony harris has the night off. iran deal, two presidential candidates are teaching up. mandatory quotas, the proposal for dealing with the refugee crisis. >> queen elizabeth reaches a milestone in the british monarchy. and will to win, why serena williams is considered one of america's greatest athletes.

and we begin in washington tonight, with the debate over the iran nuclear deal, literally surrounding the u.s. capital today. republicans are trying to figure out a way to reject the agreement, though the democrats say that they have the votes to block it in the senate. mike viqueira joins us from washington tonight. and good evening, mike, republicans seemed united in the deal but does that really matter? >> reporter: good to see you, erika. the white house has a solid opposition from republicans, and the democrats are trying to find a way around. today, washington took on the air of political theater. when it comes to the vote in congress, it may be all over but the shadow. >> this deal with iran and a disaster >> reporter: but now the iran deal is a hot button in the

presidential race, and on wednesday, it led to the capitol steps. >> we are led by very, very stupid people. >> reporter: republican contender, donned donned joined force was the rival, senator ted cruz, to attack the deal by a rally by the tea party and other opponents. >> if iran gets a nuclear weapon, the single greatest risk, they would take that nuclear weapon and put it on a ship in the atlantic and fire it up straight in the air. >> reporter: but they weren't the only contenders ta weigh in. democrat >> reporter: hilliary clinton, said that the deal isn't perfect, but we have to go forward. >> if we walk away now, our capacity for sanctions will be severe diminished. we'll be blamed, and not the iranians. >> inside of the capitol, in disarray, supported on how to

bring it down. house conservatives are trying to figure out how to prevent president obama from lifting sanctions on iran, and there are parts of the deal yet to be made public. they have repeatedly said that's a misleading claim. reporting from a closed door meeting, john boehner tried to put on the best face. >> at this point, i think that the president has lost this debate with the american people. >> reporter: in the end, the consecutivetive effort from the rank-and-file is likely to go nowhere. president obama has enough from the senate democrats to turn back the gop effort and likely enough for a filibuster, stopping the deal from happening at all. and even so, the administration is taking no chances. secretary of state, john kerry, made anothe another trip to the

capital, meeting behind closed doors. >> we hope that the senate will do the business of our nation. >> reporter: opponents at the capital rally hopes that 2017 election brings a new president and the 'peal of the iran deal. [ audio difficulties ] people in the middle east deserve a much better future with peace and prosperity. >> reporter: and erika, september 17 is the dead line for congress to act. and if it doesn't pass the vote of disapproval, the iran deal automatically goes into effect. >> mike, thanks. european leaders are trying to deal with the refugee crisis as they struggle with the huge influx of new rivals. doctors without borders, they have not enough facilities to

help them. and the serbian commission made an impassioned plea for the countries to accept some of the hundreds of thousands who arrived this year, but many won't allow them to settle in europe. >> reporter: another group of weary people cross the border between greece and macedonia as they continue their journey north, by foot or other means, the european parliament has been discussing how to cope with the hundreds of thousands of refugees who have already made the dangerous journey. for the president, it's clear, but he needs to sell it to politicians and people across europe. >> 160,000, that's the number the europeans have. taking charge, and i really hope that this time everyone will be onboard.

no courage, no retort. passion is what is needed for the time being. >> reporter: germany would take in more than 30,000 refugees under it. people like these families boarding a train in the station. the german government is pushing hard for other countries to accept their quotas. for its part, france said that it will take 24,000 refugees. in a symbolic gesture, it has already welcomed a smaller group come across from germany. but there are other people in france who say that the government is encouraging illegal immigration. that clandestine immigrants already have jobs, and other people are out of work. >> it's a debate that's test together limits the idea of european unity.

to these compulsory quote as, and the far right politicians say that the influx of people from the far east and africa will change the character of europe forever. but not everyone arriving on the shores of europe will be had allowed to claim asylum. these in spain may be ultimately classified as economic migrants, and not refugees, and the eu has civil said that people searching for work and a better life will be sent home. aljazeera, strasbourg. let's look at it. 150,000 refugees across europe. germany, france and poland will take in the highest numbers, and other countries will take in from a few hundred to a few thousands, and denmark and ireland are not obliged but could do so. and italy and greece and hungry

are excluded because of the large number of refugees already in those countries. criticizing hungary's plan to process refugees in transit zones. these are places along the border set up, and they would leave the refugees in legal limbo. meanwhile, hundreds were able to break through the lines at the serbian border, and those still stranded are fearful of what lies ahead. >> with hearts as heavy as their spirits are weary, they keep walking. for many, the borders hardly matter anymore. because it's their pain that can't be escaped. >> when my husband and i got to greece a policeman there beat us. he hit my husband with a metal stick. i was three months pregnant. i lost my baby. the syrian refugee says for

her, every day is like torture. [ crying ] i just can't forget what happened, she says, i can't forget what happened to me and my husband, i don't know why he would hit us, why he would beat us. [ foreign dialogue ] we came here to europe to feel secure, she explains as she weeps. i want a home for me and my husband. i want to be able to take a shower. i want to be able to sleep. on hungary's border with serbia, it's pear and fatigue you encounter more than anything else. i try to make her feel better, but she doesn't understand, she tells me about his young daughter. she's always and why we're sleeping in the cold, and i don't know what to say, except that i'm trying to make a better future for her, better

for us than they were in serbia. the dozens of refugees here now are lined up waiting to get on to buses. they have been told that they will be taken to a refugee camp a few miles down the road. but there's a lot of fear amongst the refugees that i've been speaking with today. they are not sure what is going to happen next. if they will be processed or asked to apply for asylum here and what's going to happen next. what they want is to get to austria, as quickly as possible. akmad tries desperately to make sense of this to his son, but the little boy has trouble offer helping was going on. he asks why are we going to germany and i keep saying, so we can bring your either and sister here, he keeps saying i want my mother, i want my

sister. with few possessions and fewer answers, the refugees only wait and wonder. when the bus arrives, it's telling that spirits are not lifted. and as it departs, it's clearer than ever that this influx is nowhere near over. aljazeera. >> al qaeda's affiliate in syria has captured the one remaining air base in the province. it's a series of setbacks for the president. he said that the army had to relinquish that area. syria's civil war is now in its fifth year. the official media wing of al qaeda has posted a new audio message denouncing isil. he said in a recording that he doesn't recognize the legitimacy of the islamic state, saying that the leader is not fit.

and despite that, he said that he will cooperate with the group to fight against the u.s.-led coalition in iraq and syria. by the end of the year, women in the military could be serving in all ground combat positions. a recommendation is being made from each branch of the services. jamie mcintyre joins us live from the pentagon. jamie >> reporter: well, erika, the u.s. military has three weeks to show cause why women should still be barred from any job in the military, no matter how dangerous or arduous. from the defense on october 1st, it's increasingly likely that the qualifications will be based on standards, and not gender. if there was a tipping point in the debate over women can be

commandos, the performance of two trail blazing women at the army's ranger school this summer may have been it. one student, michael jenowski, was sceptical about whether women could cut it, until one night when a woman turned out to be his savior. >> i was struggling, and i stopped and asked at the halfway point, hey, can anyone take some of this weight? i got a lot of deer in the headlight looks, and shay was the only one to carry the weight. and she literally saved me, i probably wouldn't be sitting here right now if it wasn't for shea. >> the first two family soldiers, standards don't have to be lowered for women to do even the toughest jobs. >> equal standards across the board. and equal challenges, and we ended up here today together.

>> i offered my personal congratulations to the two of them. >> defense secretary, ash carter, is leaning toward lifting all restrictions on women by the end of the year, and he said so much at a news conference last month, where he enthusiastically congratulated the first female ranger grads. >> the first policy is that all combat positions will be open to women unless rigorous analysis and factual data show that the positions need to be closed. >> reporter: for women to be excluded from my job by next january would require a special waiver from carpenter, and he told aljazeera that he will not seek any such waivers for the navy or the marines, and women will soon train to be seals. the elite commandos two took down osama bin laden. and also moving to job

performance, based solely on ability. >> we have been working on establishing gender neutral and operationally and occupationally relevant standards. and once we have them in place, it certainly would be my anticipation that we would be in a position to open up these jobs to women in the future. >> reporter: still, the women who hope to break the brass ceiling say they don't want to be given anything except the opportunity to show what they can do. there's a growing consensus that the fairest way to have these combat jobs, have one standard for men or women, and allow anyone that can meet the standard qualify. there's some resistance, especially from the marine corp. but ultimately, it's up to the civilian leadership, not the military brass, whether to decide to give women an equal shot at the toughest jobs. >> national security, jamie mcintyre at the pentagon for us, thank you.

up next, the push to take federal funds from planned parenthood. a hearing on the hill, and the notable group that was not invited to the table. plus, a kentucky clerk that's not alone. the other counties in the state taking a stand against gay marriage.

>> republicans kicked off their efforts to cut funding

for planned parenthood today. the house judiciary committee held the first of several hearings. at issue, the alleged practice of selling aborted fetal tissue. lisa stark is live in washington d.c. with more on this, and good evening to you, lisa. so who testified at this hearing? >> reporter: well, erika, it's interesting who did not testify. planned parenthood was not invited, neither was the anti-abortion group that made that controversial under cover video that appeared to show that planned parenthood was illegally profiting from the sale of tissue from the sale of tissue from a aborted fetuses. republicans on the committee called that video very disturbing. democrats and the one pro-choice witness who was testifying today insisted that the video has been doctored. and they said this is a long campaign against planned parenthood. >> since the year 2000, they have been the target of nine similar smear campaigns, using

hidden videos, with false claims. and every single time these allegations have been thoroughly investigated and debunked. >> i was sickened to my core. to me, it was immoral. and i don't know if it was illegal, but it was immoral what i was seeing on that video. >> reporter: now, many of the republicans on the committee want to cut funding for planned parenthood. they get about $500 million a year in government money. >> mr. chairman, the sands of time should blow over this capitol hill before we ever give planned parenthood another dime of taxpayer money. >> i'm outraged by the allegations made against an organization that serves millions of women in the country. one out of five women visit a planned parenthood center at one point in their lives. it's a center where they can go

to for even the most basic of care. >> and planned parenthood director called today's hearing at its worst. she said that the true purpose to ban abortions in this country. and this is the first of a series of hearings on planned parenthood. >> lisa, we know many of the candidates running for president oppose abortion rights, and how does that play into the campaign? >> it is starting to play into the campaign. ted cruz, one of the gop candidates, said that he wants to cut off funding for planned parenthood, and he has even threatened a government shutdown if that's not done. and consecutivetive america called for them to cut off funding for planned planned. but some republicans are worried about this, and they are worried that it will play to the democrats, who are

calling the republicans anti-women. >> thank you, lisa stark for us. for the first time since hilliary clinton's email controversy began, she said that she's sorry for using a private server while she was secretary of state. followed by a mass email to supporters, clinton insists that her use of private email was allowed by the obama administration. kim davis is not the only county clerk refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples. but many believe that the thriving lgbt community, john has more. good evening to you, john. >> reporter: hey, erika, it's a miserable rainy evening here in morehead. and we were expecting kim davis to come to work, and she

didn't, andhen we were told by her lawyer that it would be friday or monday, and then they said that she will be back at her desk on monday. taking time with her family after losing the labor day weekend. but some are wondering if she'll interfere with the issuance of marriage licenses here. we'll have to wait and see. but why is morehead in the news when two other counties in kentucky are refusing to happened out marriage licenses? a thriving lgbt community with the community. there's no sign that kim davis just spent her first night at home in seven days, but they're looking to get a marriage license in rowan county, and they can, because they can get one. >> if i wanted to get married in rowan county, i did. >> one of kim davis' deputies tells us that he'll go on

issuing marriage licenses, even if the boss tells him not to when she comes back to work. but rowan is not the only town in kentucky where marriage licenses are being refused. none in whitland and none in casey county. but an alliance at the local university, morehead state. >> i chose it because it's close to home, and you can definitely find your homer here. >> the primary focus to work with alliance is for lgbt rights, and it flourishes, but not here in kentucky. where lgbt is generally brushed under the carpet. >> most people's views of the lgbt community, we don't pay it no mind. but there's a sparking community there. it's just that i think this incident kind of gave everyone a chance to really come

together. >> but the evidence that attitudes toward same-sex marriage are changing. down from 73% in the 2014 vote to ban gay marriage. the davis affair has split the local community and brought it together at the same time. >> people who are having such strong religious background are being forced to see their neighbors and friends and family coming out in support of this, they have to judge, am i in the wrong or where do i play into this? >> at the center center of the debate, county clerk, kim davis, and what happens next here is in her hands. >> reporter: casey county, they're issuing no marriage licenses whatsoever. and the county clerk has not

had anybody in asking for a same-sex marriage, so the problem is not great in her mind there. it's something that we may have to worry about in the future if this rumbles on. kim davis, $130,000 a year as county clerk, and we're told that she won't have any money be docked. elected officials get paid, and they organize their own sick leave and own vacation. and the idea, if they take too much, folks won't let them in the next time around. >> john terrett, thank you. the superintendent of seattle's public schools is seeking legal action to try to force the city's teachers to end a strike. summer vacation was extended for 53,000 children today, after the teachers union voted to strike hours before school was to begin. up next, use of force, a

controversial police shooting in wash state. why the prosecutors say the officers will not face charges. and a deadly sapped storm gripping some of the biggest cities in the middle east.

>> three lives in pacifica, washington, will not be facing charges for the deadly shooting of antonio zambrano. police officers shot and killed him in february after he was throwing rocks at them. and it quickly caused protests. sabrina is live in pasco, and good england, why won't the officers be facing any charges. >> the prosecutor in this case said that he looked closely at washington state law m the washington state legislature looks at the use of deadly force and police officers, and what they have said, that if police officer are acting in good path and without malice, they have the discretion to use force. >> i believe that a unanimous jury would not find the absence

of malice, and we legally cannot charge police officers for a crime for exercising their discretion to use deadly force in good faith, and without malice. >> i can tell that you the families of an zoneio zambrano and montes are very upset. we have a statement representing the wife and children of zambrano and i'm going to read it to you: and i also want to mention that there have been two lawsuits filed in federal court on behalf of one of the families. his parents have filed a $4.8 million lawsuit in federal court. and another attorney representing the children and the wife of zambrano has filed a ta million dollars lawsuit in federal court. >> so sabrina, zambrano's death

sparked protests in pasco? >> we have not heard of any protests in pasco, it's peaceful behind us, but there were many people interrupting the prosecutor as the judge was trying to ask questions during the q-and-a session. people kept saying, he was shot 17 times, why is this acting in good faith, and acting without malice? so certainly very upset people in the courtroom today. but we have not heard any protests. a couple of things that i do want to note, so far no civil rights action, and that would fall to the department of justice, but i want to mention that the pasco police department is conducting it's own internal investigation. it's not complete yet.

but unclear whether the officers will be allowed to join the force again. wasn't of the officers resigned, last month in july, he has gotten out of law enforcement and he's in a completely different industry, but still living in this area. >> all right, sabrina from washington state, thank you. puerto rico's government today released it's lon long-awaited fiscal reform plan. only represents $50 billion of the island's $72 billion debt. and the government will face a $14 billion gap over the next four years, and they will be granted the same tax incentives as the united states. >> . >> former senator said that he made mistakes negotiating a bailout agreement. but he insisted that it would be good for the country. he resigned a few weeks ago but

is hoping to get reelected. a deadly sandstorm across the middle east, including lebanon, syria, egypt, jordan, and parts of turkey and cyprus. 12 have died. and thousands have been hospitalized with breathing problems. meteorologist, kevin corriveau here with more. >> they're saying this is an unprecedented event on how large of a scale we're talking about, a dust storm in the area. people really tried to protect themselves the best they can in a situation like this. very very dangerous situation. if you have any respiratory problems, also for bronchitis, a major kickoff in the area right now. let me show you how this plays out. we have the area of low pressure to the northern part of iraq, and that means a counterclockwise circulation across much of this region.

and what happens, with the very very dry conditions and with the very very warm conditions, a lot of the sand and dust has been pushing down toward the south. and over toward the west. and even parts of cyprus. look at the video that has come in from syria. and look at the color of the sky, afte first of all, but visibility has been reduced to less than a quarter of a mile. it makes it very very dangerous for people dealing with bronchial difficulties, so look from space at what this looks like with the visible satellite. in syria, all of this gray and light brown is sand, all the way from cyprus, as well as -- we go all the way down the coast into parts of egypt as well. and we're talking saudi arabia, so it looks like a couple of days before we start to clear out. >> all right, meteorologist,

kevin corriveau, thank you. protests in lebanon have made it to the parliament building in beirut. demonstrators who support what's being called the you stink movement are outraged over piles of uncollected garbage in the capital. jamaal has more from beirut. >> like thousands of young be lebanese, yusef is unemployed. and he blames the governments of accusing the officials of rig to get rich rather than serving the people. he's one of several activists who started a runninger strike last wednesday. they have been camped outside of the ministry of the environment. they're a larger part of the protests, usually over the prices, but now corruption and incompetence. six days after the beginning of

the hunger strike, yusef was taken to the hospital. and there the police pay mim a visit. >> when i lost consciousness, they put he in the hospital and the police came and questioned me, saying why am i on strike? saying that i should end it because it's a waste of time. >> he was the first hunger striker, and he has one basic demand. >> i want to start the principle of accountability. and when my voice -- maybe it will become louder. >> aside from the rubbish crisis, lebanon is in political paralysis. country has been without a president for over a year. that, and the failure of the government to provide basic services like electricity, has caused so many people to take to the streets. on wednesday, the speaker of

parliament will chair the leaders to try to resolve the issues. but lebanon's political history shows that it's unlikely that things will change. >> that's the primary reason, that there's no accountability. as i said, every time they get together, they collude against the citizens, so we need a third force to break and hold them accountable. >> at the prime minister's office, it's a daily event. people bringing their rubbish bags, and touching them on the prime minister's doorstep. >> it's an accountability crisis. 12 hours a day in some parts of lebanon. more and more people have had enough of the political system and it's failure to provide for them. back at the hunger striker's

camp, yusef tries to keep his comrades entertained. he hopes that his words and gestures send a clear message. aljazeera, beirut. >> united airlines has a new ceo after the company's old ceo reassigned yesterday after a federal investigation. it's a story that's raising a lot of questions about how a huge public company did business with a huge agency. ali velshi is here with it all, and what do we know about this? >> this is a very complicated issue. i was talking to some of my colleagues about the last time that a ceo of a major company resigning connected to a federal investigation. let's review what we know right now, the chief executive officer, jeff, he used to be the ceo of continental airlines before the merger, and he and

two other officials are out and they resigned. this is in connection of the company's own investigation of a federal investigation, and that involved the port authority of new york and new jersey. the federal prosecutors are investigating whether united agreed to reinstate money-losing flights between newark and a south carolina airport which happens to be near the weekend home of the port authority's chairman. his name is david, and he stepped down last month. and the investigation is when whether united reinstated those flights for him and his wife to go to their weekend home in return for an improvement and a lease extension with the liberty airport. there are all kinds of questions going on, on wall street today, amongst the people in new york, and for people wondering what this organization, and this agency is, erika. >> and all of this is bringing

up presidential candidate, chris christie, who is of course across the river there in jersey. and why? >> reporter: it's a multistate organization, run by the port authority. and the chairman, sampson, was appoint bid governor chris christie in 2010, and you will recall that he stepped down in march of 2014, following what was been known as bridgegate. the records show that some senior aids to chris christie worked with the port authoritier officials to close the lane leading to the bridge allegedly to punish a mayor who supported chris christie's election. christie has not been accused of any wrongdoing, but the united story won't help his bid for election. bridgegate, they're sig that some of the flights to south carolina are related i in some way. i want to say that jeff spiesic

was the ceo of united airlines and he won his bid to leave united after that, and his departure is extremely unusual to say the least, erika. >> so tell us what's going on with tonight's show. >> erika, we're looking at the problem of student debt that affects 40 million americans. some candidates for president want them to ease their burden by refinanceing them. critics say that it's not practical or good economics for the government to get into the refinancing on a large scale. we're looking at that closely tonight, erika. >> thank you, and you can watch ali velshi on target at 7:po pacific here on aljazeera america. >> 50 years ago, grape pickers in california went on strike for better working condition. they asked united farm workers

chairman, seizur ceasar chavez r help. >> we're in one of the thousands of vineyards that are the mainstay of california's agriculture economy. and the harvest has ended. production was half for this vineyard, largely because of the drought and the excessive heat. and of course the heat and those kinds of working conditions have been a priority for the united farm workers, but in other respects, the union is struggling for relevance. pedro alvarez left his native california 40 years, but his livelihood comes from the soil. tending the same vineyards that

sprouted a landmark in american labor history. led by ceasar chavez, he and his families walked off the jobs in 1965, demanding better pay and health conditions from the growers. chavettes' non-violent tactics gave him support for the first consumer boycott. millions of americans stopped buying grapes and even some wine brands, but since chavez's death in 1983, they don't see the union offering them of help. >> when he tells us it's not enough to live on, he says you can go elsewhere. >> in power and membership, ceasar chavez's united farm workers is a shadow of what it wasn't was, weakened by internal splits, and rival unions, and hostile organized labor across the u.s. the unions success, enacting

laws and oppressive heat conditions. >> workers are entitled to a 10-minute break every two hours, and there will be shade and cool drinking water provided for them. >> but it has far fewer employees under contract. and many workers have been fighting to revoke the ufw's that's right to do that. and meanwhile, the farm workers have been dropping, and as a result, the wages have acrossed. >> what we hear them talking about is actually expurge it's consistent from the data that we find. >> a lot of my friends are going back home to mexico, and i would like to as well. >> but alvarez says what's keeping him in california, his seven children. few of them still work in the fields. you may ask how are they celebrating the 50th anniversary?

surprisingly, i spoke to a spokes pan for the union, and he said we may have picnics on the 26th of september, but really nothing happening this week, this important week, and that may be emblematic of the status of the union today. >> tom ackerman live from beautiful sewn open a. california. up next, it's not just about winning. how serena and venus williams should be role models for a generation of young women. and record breaker, queen elizabeth with a milestone.

>> serena williams needs just two more wins to be the women's first single player since 1988 to win all four grand slam titles in a single year. serena's latest win came last night as she defeated her ownsive, venus, in a quarter final match at the u.s. open in new york. serena said that the competitors on the court, they are also sisters and roommates. juliana the president of the college, she encouraged young black women to emulate serena williams. and thank you so much for joining us, julie ann.

let's start with a quote that gets to the heart of the issue that you wrote about. you said, "in a society that puts winning above all else, young women get the message that they should be less serena like, but in order to compete, that's exactly who they should emulate. so julianna, why do you feel like young black women are discouraged from being like serena. >> all too often, being unladylike, having a temper, sticking up for yourself, that's discouraged. and not just with african-american women, all women. as you know, men will toot their own horn, and women are saying, i just got lucky that i got a good job. men are bragadosius, and the female intern could -- the male

intern, and the female has to stay where she is. when men want to go after who they want to go after, they're considered assertive. and african-american women, especially, we're considered aggressive, and those are two different things. >> let's talk more about serena williams as a role model, on and off the court. and look at her accomplishments here. she has 21 grand slam titles, on the way to 22, and before she turns 30, and her $73 million winnings are the third most for any tennis player, and off the court, she's a unicef goodwill ambassador, building quality schools in africa, and the serena williams foundation provides scholarships for under privileged students. clearly, she does a lot. but when it comes to influencing young women, young

black women specifically here at home to have more confidence and shoot for the stars, is there more that serena williams herself can do. >> i think that she's doing it all right now. in addition to doing so well in tennis, she has a design company, and she does the clothing thing. she has done hollywood and a little acting, and she has a good time. one of the other things about her, there are always comments about her body, the fact that she's what si call bootyliscious, and the folks talk about her body constantly. and the fact that you have steroids in sports, and posted on line, i think that half of the comments that came in have something to do with saying that she takes steroids. she doesn't. the u.s. tested the top ten players basically randomly. and just because steroids were

there for a long time. but african-american women often put themselves down because of their weight. and when you look at serena, you say, hey, she's healthy. she may be -- but she's healthy, and you can tell she's healthy. look at those arms. and she's tight. and i think that's another thing that should be said. >> absolutely, and you touched on this earlier, some people criticized serena's so-called aggressiveness on the court. but you see it as confidence. why do you think that confidence seems to be okay for males like john mac inrow, but not williams? >> again, women are stereotyped as gentle and kind. and serena is gentle and kind, but not on the tennis court. don't cross her on the tennis

court. it's ironic that john macenroe, the bad boy of tennis, he has broken rackets and all of that, and he's going to say something else, courtside manner, but again, women are judged by a differenter standard. >> so what can we do to change that? >> you see that in your occupation i'm sure, women do. not enough to throw the microphone, but i'm sure that you're aware of the double standard. >> what can we do to change the message here? is there something that she can do, or something in a society needs to truly be tackle? how do we do that? >> well, two things. as serena winds down, and she's 33, as she winds down, i suspect that she will step up and do things about girls and their confidence, and michelle obama, she has talked about childhood obesity, but also girls and their confidence. and i think that we need to do
