hi, everyone, this is al jazeera america. i'm john siegenthaler. crash clues. new details in the russian jet liner disaster. >> translator: the only possible explanation for a breakup of the aircraft in the air could be a certain impact. the latest on the investigation. race and justice. the death penalty case heading to the supreme court. did prosecutors make sure it was an all-white jury?

change of heart. >> it is particularly a crisis in the evangelical christian community. i hope i can make some progress. >> reporter: an evangelical christian's reversal on gun rights. a surprising about face. plus jon stewart's last hire before leaving the daley show. how this long comic is using humor and honesty to make us laugh and think. ♪ did a russian airliner break apart over egypt or was it taken down? two days after a crash claimed 224 lives in the sinai, that question is still unanswered. the egyptian government says it is too soon to happen. peter sharp reports. >> reporter: in the early hours of monday morning a russian

government plane carrying the victims of the air disaster touched down in st. petersburg. all passengers and crew on board died. the bodies had been brought to a city mortuary where relatives are now tasked with identifying their loved ones. at the crash site in egypt, experts have been searching for clues as to the cause. an armed group linked to isil claims it shot down the airbus in response to russian air strikes in this syria. claims quickly dismissed by the russian and egyptian governments. russian officials say the plane broke up at high altitude. now one russian group says it believes the plane was brought down by external impact. >> translator: there is no such combination of systems failure

that could lead to a plane breaking up in the air. the only possible explanation could be a certain impact. some mechanical of physical impact. >> reporter: there was this from president putin. >> translator: i would again like to express my condolences to the families and relatives of the victim ts. this is a great tragedy and we are with you in heart and soul. i want to thank st. petersburg for its response. >> reporter: outside the main airport an expanding memorial to the dead. it is a popular holiday designation for many russians. 17 children were among those killed. >> translator: it's sad. people, children, who were on the flight. it's heart breaking. i have a child myself, and i fly

very often. >> reporter: russian federal investigators have opened a criminal case. russian police reportedly raided the airline's moscow offices, seizing documents and hard drives. russia has a poor aviation safety record, but the airline insists the plane was in goods shape. it is hoped the data recorders will reveal more answers. it is clear that something catastrophic happened to the flight. it is going to take a long time to get an answer has to exactly what went wrong. perhaps another couple of months. peter sharp, al jazeera, in st. petersburg. top u.s. officials weighing in on the crash. james clapper says he hasn't seen any evidence indicating the plane was brought down by isil or any of its affiliates. >> well, we don't have any

direct evidence of any terrorist involvement yet, but we really don't know, and i think once the black boxes have been analyzed, which they have recovered, then perhaps we'll know more. >> aviation attorney, former pilot and aerospace everything is in our studio tonight. welcome. usually these things take a while to figure out, right? >> they do. the key evidence is the digital recorder. first off this plane broke up in flight. large pieces of this plane crashed into the sinai desert, largely intact. how does something like that happen? you look at the wreckage on the

ground. there are very little burn marks if any on the fuselage, there is no evidence of a missile standoff -- >> and they are above 30,000 feet. so a sand miss -- missile couldn't hit them? >> it absolutely could hit them. the there are very sophisticated radar system that requires engineers to operate, different from a shoulder-launched missile. >> wouldn't you see that on a satellite image, though? >> absolutely. clapper said we don't have any evidence of terrorism yet. that can mean two things. missile can't be ruled out, and in-flight structural failure caused by a missile on board,

security in that egyptian airport is horrendous, someone could have gone on with a hand grenade, blown out a fuselage. >> you have many people saying many things. the egyptians the russians and the airline. >> right. everyone has their own political agenda here. you have a crash in egypt. you have a russian airline filled with russians. you have a french-made airplane that was owned by an irish bank with united states interests. everybody is going to be pointing the finger at somebody else, but the last thing i think the common denominator is no one wants to say this was an isil shootdown. >> okay. wouldn't -- if there were an

explosion on that plane, wouldn't there been some evidence of that in those pieces on the ground? >> you would see explosive evidence if there was a fire or an explosion that consumed the airplane in the air. then you would see searing and heat damage -- >> couldn't there be an explosion that didn't cause a fire? >> absolutely. pan-am 103, exactly what happened here. if you look at the wreck age on the ground, the fuselage, you did not see burn patterns, at least i couldn't see any. the most likely cause i could see is an onboard explosion of some sort, and, or we can't rule out that there was some mechanical problem.

>> it is going to take time. >> it is going to take time. but the evidence of the digital recorder will help. >> thank you so much. wreckage discovered at the bottom of the ocean is the sunken cargo ship the el faroe, which vanished last month during hurricane joaquin. rachel has more. rachel? >> reporter: yes, that's right, john. investigators did confirm that they have identified what they believe to be el faroe in fact, nearly four miles below the sea. now the next task will be if they can retrieve what is known as the black box. the box that will have communications between the ship

and onshore. this is a very important step as to whether the families, investigators will try to find out exactly what happened to this ship on that fateful night. >> so this is in 15,000 feet of water, deeper than the titanic. how tough is it going to be to get the black boxes? >> investigators are saying it could take up to 15 days to retrieve the box. we went to a press conference of lawyers who were representing five of the polish crew members, and here is what they had to say. >> we're hopeful the recovery of the data recorder will give a full picture of what happened. and the families are extremely hopeful that they may be able to bring home the bodies of their loved ones. >> reporter: of course john that's a question on the minds of all of the families, will

they be able to get the bodies of their loved ones, and have closure with this tragedy? >> what is happenings with the lawsuits by the families. >> reporter: well a lot of things are . -- happening. last week the company filed a response saying they would not be responsible for what happened because it happened on high seas, and there are two maritime laws that would prevent them from being responsible for damages. so this will be a fierce battle between the families and the company. the united nations says the

number of refugees living in europe has reached a record high. 218,000 in october alone. the journey is long, often dangerous. in just the last week more than 60 refugees have drowned trying to reach greece. mohammed jamjoom reports. >> reporter: with all of the tragedy they have seen, still the aid workers keep looking. on lesvos the sea may the calmer, but nerves are on urge. when the refugees make it ashore, a sense of relief is eclipsed only by growing outrage. >> i feel ashamed that i am a european, that i am from holland. i feel great shim -- shame that i am a citizen of this european union. she is one of many year committed to helping. >> i saw baby dying.

i saw elderly people almost dying. i cannot imagine that you can live with yourself when -- when this is your responsibility. >> reporter: the refugees while extremely grateful for the help, no life won't get much easier any time soon. but for many, choosing to stay in their homeland may have been an even riskier option. if the choices between dying in the sea or dying in iraq, i take the sea. he tells me that he, his wife, and four children had no other choice. in iraq it's the children who were sacrificed. ministers, officer, presidents don't die. it's the children and the families who die. here the kids are a priority. trying to make their fear recede even if just for a few minutes. over 200,000 arrived in europe

by sea in october alone. that's roughly the same amount as arrived in all of 2014. aid workers here believe that huge increase in numbers is because refugees are trying to make this journey before their window of opportunity closes for good. many worry the winter will soon keep them from crossing, while many others fear europe will soon present them from entering. >> we issued a call to the european union, to frontex, to both sides of the strait, get more ships out there and save more people. >> reporter: on the beach emotions continue to ebb and flow. there's generosity all around, but hardly any of it is state sponsored. it's volunteers drives these efforts. as frustrated as they are

resolute, they look for any way possible to help. in the united states the company behind the keystone xl oil pipeline has asked the government suspend its permit application. they are asking for more time to work with authorities in nebraska. the white house expected to reject the application. today president obama announced a series of new initiatives to help former federal inmates adjust to live outside of prison. the first of 6,000 started getting out on friday. with little help from the outside, many are at risk of going back behind bars. >> reporter: every year, 2400 at risk people come through this integrity house. monday it welcomed president obama who touted programs to treat drug and substance addiction and help former prison

inmates make the transition to the outside. >> part of our goal is to highlight what is working, so hopefully we can see more and more places like integrity house. >> reporter: he also took a small step in the movement to ban the box. the requirement that job seekers disclose a criminal record on job applications. >> what we are suggesting is when it comes to the application, give folks a chance to get through the door. >> reporter: a study in new york city suggests a criminal record reduced the likelihood of a callback or job offer by nearly 50%. it was worst for black applicants. the president could have required federal contractors to ban the box, but he stopped short of that. the reason, rare bipartisan agreement in congress. and hoped that a permanent fix will become law and not an executive or that could expire as soon as president obama

leaves the white house. he has made a public push to roll back long sentences given to non-violent drug offenders. he became the first sitting president to visit a prison. beginning last friday, the justice department released roughly 6,000 inmates and over the weekend, mr. obama made it the topic of his weekly address. >> i believe the can disrupt the pipeline from under funded schools and overpopulated jails. >> reporter: between 60 and 75% remain jobless in the first year of release. in newark, the president announced small pilot programs aimed at bring though rates down. >> there are people who have gone through tough times. they have made mistakes. but with a little bit of help, they can get on the right path.

[ applause ] >> and that's what we have to invest in. that's what we to believe. that's what we have to promote. >> reporter: so far small steps on the road to reform, but with brood support in washington. many say a major break through coming soon. coming up, sick customers close restraint. chipotle is dealing with an outbreak of food contamination.

volkswagen's emissions cheating scandal is expanding according to the epa. it says the car maker rigged the emission systems of 10,000 sport utility systems sold in the u.s. now the worldwide figure could be even higher. volkswagen admitted to manipulating about 11 million cars. this time the company denies the allegations. chipotle dealing with its third food contamination outbreak in a year. traces were located in six location locations. >> white rice, black beans, tortilla, medium sauce, hot

sauce, and cheese. >> reporter: that's how he likes his order. and the order that caused him become violently ill. he developed severe cramps, vomiting and diarrhea. >> it was kind of overwhelming. it felt like what is going on? and tuesday morning i was about ready to go to my doctor. >> reporter: his symptoms were nearly identical to what chris experienced after eating at a chipotle in oregon. >> i feel like i have gotten food poisoning before, and i have never gotten sick like this. the excruciating pain was something i have never experienced. >> reporter: more than 20 cases have been reported in washington and oregon in the last few weeks. that outbreak prompted the mexican fast-food chain to close the doors at dozens of

locations. health officials say they haven't determined the exact source of the contamination. >> most of the cases are associated with the restaurant chipotle, but not all cases have eaten at chipotle. we believe a food item is probably the cause of these infections. >> reporter: that would be chipotle's third food-born outbreak this year. nora virus sickened customers and employees in california. ♪ >> reporter: chipotle promotes its commitment to fresh ingredients. but food safety lawyer says locally grown doesn't always mean safer. >> when you look at chipotle which has had three major outbreaks in the period of 45 days, i think they have to start

asking hard questions. >> reporter: in a statement chipotle told us: the company also says it has no plans to close restaurants in other states. sab brie that register, al jazeera, see at. >> reporter: we spoke with a food safety specialist in l.a. tonight. jeff, where could this have come from? >> it's very possible that the product -- with the chain of food that is coming in. it could have been on any of the products. it would be on processed lettuce, sprouts, meat products. it could be any number of possibilities. and that's why the various health departments are still investigating and have not identified a specific vector

source yet. >> sometimes officials are able to narrow it down quickly. why not this time? >> well, again, it requires that you identify the people that have had the issues. the health department needs to interview these people and find out what they had to see if there is a pattern that they could identify if it was a specific ingredient or a salsa, or sauce. so it's going to make a little bit more investigative time to identify and categorize, and see if there is a trend that we can identify. >> in this case is there a theory? >> well, i always feel that there's opportunity for you to reflect and bring in some outside eyes to look at how you do things and see if there's opportunity for improvement. certainly in the operation

itself, versus in addition to looking at the products as they come into a restaurant the sources. because again, just because it's locally grown doesn't mean that it's necessarily free from bacteria. >> 45 stores -- what is the significance of that number? >> well, i think what it shows is that in six or seven locations they had some activity, and they have identified, you know, people that have eaten at those six or seven locations, and out of being careful, they wanted to close the -- close to 45 locations themselves. so this was a managerial decision, which was a very active approach to minimize any other problems that could be floating into these other locations. >> jeff good to see you. thanks very much. coming up next, a black

teenager sentenced to death by an all-white jury. the supreme court case on race, discrimination, and justice. plus a look back at the unique life of fred thompson.

hi, everyone, this is al jazeera america kyle. i'm john siegenthaler. peer review, do prosecutors exclude black jurors, based on race? the supreme court case out of

georgia. beyond belief -- >> that suggested that christians need to take a very hard look at the morality of killing any human being under any circumstance. plus his son, meeting the trail blazing young comedian who went from any daily show to a one-man show off broadway. the u.s. supreme court heard arguments today in a case about race, fairness, and the jury system in america. involves a black teen sentenced to death by an all-white jury. lawyers for the defense say they have evidence to the contrary. lisa stark reports. >> reporter: when picking a jury prosecutors and defense attorneys have the right to

disqualify a certain number of jurors without saying why. maybe they have a hunch that the juror will be biased in some way. but when they make that selection, they are not allowed to disqualify a juror based on race. and now the justices are being asked to decide whether that is just what happened in the death penalty case from georgia. the case involves timothy foster who at age 18 was accused of robbing, sexually assaulting, and murdering an elderly white woman. he was sentenced to death by an all-white jury. that was in 1987, a year after the supreme court ruled that race cannot be used to disqualify a juror. nearly a decade ago defense attorneys uncovered prosecutors

notes, circling the word black, and on the list of noes, all of the african-americans topped the list. >> we know what the prosecutor did here was identify the african americans, divide them up, take them abart fro the other people, rank them against each other in case as their n e notes say, we have to accept a black. >> reporter: a number of the justices seem to agree, quote: justice steven breyer said the prosecutor gave 40 different reasons to strike african americans from the jury, quote: but georgia's deputy attorney general argued the notes don't show that adding:

there's widespread agreement that racial discrimination and jury selection is pervasive nationwide, and no matter what the justices decide in this case, it is unlikely to solve that problem. some critics say the only way to eliminate discrimination is to get rid of everyo everyone -- pre-emptive challenges. >> if we're serious about any race discrimination, you have to eliminate pre-emptive strikes. >> reporter: and he says undermines confidence in the judicial system and the idea of a fair trial by a jury of one's peers. the buys in jury selection can cut both ways. studies show that prosecutors

disproportionately use their challenges against jurors who are black, while defense attorneys disproportionately use their challenges against jurors who are white. >> what is the significance of the fact that the supreme court took this case? >> i the supreme court's decision in this case will decide whether batson v kentucky is useless. how can you ever decide whether or not there is discrimination, or whether or not a prosecutor has excluded season because of discrimination. here you have the clearest case ever. >> so do you think it's possible that the supreme court will rule that race was used to get people off this jury?

>> i think that in a case where you have the document and evidence, which is the prosecutor's notes, and it's so blatant, this is a case where they will have to define that bright line. where is -- at what point is a prosecution using discriminatory practices? is a prosecutor using discriminatory practices. >> let me push back and say -- i mean if they just highlighted it or they circled the names or circled black, does that really mean that they were actually discriminating, trying to get black jurors off? >> that's the problem, we don't know. and that's the problem with a law like this. this is why in batson v kentucky, the justice said the only way we could ever get rid of discrimination is to get rid of peremptory challenges period.

>> so you think that needs to be tossed out so how do you make the decision? the judge decides? how do you choose jurors? if you don't have peremptory challenges can a judge make the decision of who stays and who goes? >> no, you would still have a voir dire, but the questioning would be for cause challenges. in a jury trial you have presearcher to challenges and for cause. for cause is when someone says something that indicates they will not be fair in this case. peremptory is you get rid of them for any reason whatsoever. and that's why justice

thoroughgood marshall said in the seminal case that you just need to get rid of peremptory challenges. >> and that's why i said the judge could make the final decision, yes? >> yes, a judge would decide that. >> natalie it is good to see you. houston is at the center of a major fight for lbgt rights. jonathan martin has more. >> houston has been really a battleground in dealing with this ordinance. >> reporter: the houston equal rights ordinance prohibiting discrimination in employment, housing, and other areas.

>> right now in houston if there is an instance of discrimination, it literally has to be a federal case because there's no local protection. and this ordinance would create a local solution to a local problem. >> reporter: more than 200 u.s. cities already have similar ordinances. but in houston conservative leaders are blasting the measure. they say it goes against their religious beliefs. >> city of houston prop 1 is not about equality. that is already the law. it is about allowing men in women's locker rooms and bathrooms. >> reporter: it has been dubbed the bathroom bill, and religious groups have released a series of ads like this one.

>> prevent danger. vote know on the proposition 1 bathroom ordinance. those backing the ordinance call it scare tactics. >> it could be a conversation about equality, and treating people fairly. >> reporter: supporters have responded with commercials including one showing transgender people being welcomed. houston's major who is openly gay has been pushing for a city-wide non-discrimination ordinance for more than a year. she said in a statement: gay rights activists say the outcome of tuesday's vote is tonight beyond houston. adopting an ordinance here would

be a significant step in what is now activists top priority, pushing for non-discrimination laws in all 50 states. fred thompson lost his battle with cancer this weekend. his life took him from politics to the big screen and back. tonight we remember the way he changed the landscape of washington and hollywood. at 6'6", with a commanding voice and careers in politics and hollywood, his life was anything but ordinary. he was born in alabama, but called the volunteer state home. it was in tennessee where he went to lawsuit and started a career as an attorney and prosecutor. at 30 he found himself on the national stage as council for the republican minority on the

senate committee investigating watergate and president nixon, and in 1973 with the white house aid testifying thompson asked the question that would help lead to the -- unravelling of a presidency. >> are you aware of any listening devices in the oval office of the president? >> i was aware of listening devices, yes, sir. >> reporter: those white house tapes eventually implicated the president in the watergate coverup and how we know that nixon thought thompson wasn't very smart, dumb as hell nixon said. thompson described himself as a nixon loyalist, but it's a unsettled whether he was being fed information from the nixon administration and being used for it. thompson's notoriety, though, was just beginning as a federal prosecutor and twice elected

republican senator from tennessee, he also ran for president in 2002. when he wasn't in office, he was on screen, playing admirals, politicians, sheriffs, judges, and fine directors. he enjoyed a hearty laugh, strong handshake, a good cigar and a healthy dose of humility. he was the same man on the senate, the movie studio, or his home.

gun control is a very personal issue for many americans, and for some it can be matter of religion. the new documentary, the armor of life, follows the chairman of a church as he becomes a gun-control advocate. >> what are your feelings when i say the phrase christians and guns. >> the bible is very plain about a man who doesn't protect his life is an infidel. >> let's pray, father we know there are a lot of people in this country that would like to register guns and take them awhich. >> if we take guns away, people are just going to kill people with something else. >> so what we need is jesus, the gospel, and a side arm. >> reverend thank you for joining us. how did you -- how did you

change your mind on this issue. >> well, it was a conversion of sorts. it was a slow conversion, because when i first approached the question of guns, i was kind of neutral on it, didn't really see it as matter of christian or religious concern. as i investigated it, i saw it more and more as a paramount moral question of right and wrong, of what is ethical, what is unethical, and eventually i came to a conclusion, but it took me about three years to get there. >> what do you want changed? >> first of all people's attitudes. whenever you take a weapon on your body for the purpose of personal defense or the defense of others, you have to contemplate the killing of another individual even if you think you'll get away with wounding them. i had a very good professional firearms instructor tell me that he would not even train me unless i was willing to kill, because when you shoot a bullet

at someone, you don't know what it is going to do, kill them, kill someone else, and you have to be ready to kill. that for me suggested that christians need to take a very hard look at the morality of killing another human being under any circumstance. >> as i understand it, there were a couple of things that affected you, or many things. one was the navy yard shooting, and then this shooting of jordan davis who was killed by michael dunn in a stand your ground case in florida at a gas legislati-- and his mother apparently asked you to change your mind on this, is that right? >> she did. and she really closed the deal with me. i had a growing concern. i had an encounter with more than one shooting incident. as a pastor i cared for people

in the aftermath of shootings. and then the navy yard shooting, people killed outside of my own living room window. but it was lucy mcbath in her grief as a mother who lost a child to gun violence who came to me and almost begged me to take this on, and her -- her appeal was so compelling, it brought me across the finish line. >> so what is this -- what has this been like for you? i understand you have lost some friends and donors. >> yeah, i have had donors who said i don't agree with you. people feel very passionate, very emotional, and that's real. and i have learned to affirm people's feelings. i went on a listening tour across the country.

listening long and hard to people as they made their case on both sides, and i have had some friendships that have been at least strained, maybe i have lost some friends, that's possible. and to me that's the greatest cost. >> what do you say to evangelicals who say this is our second amendment right? >> i like to say we have to be very careful in our respect for the second amendment, we don't violate the second commandment, and the second commandment doesn't allow us to put anything above god or god's will even it is something as majestic as the constitution of the united states. i am a pro-life activist. i have always appealed to a higher moral land. it's god's moral law, and that's the question i want to put toe evangelical christians. >> the documentary is called the armor of light.

thank you for being with us. >> thank you. more cities are installing cameras to catch drivers running red lights. but it might be more about money than safety. >> john, some studies show red light cameras save lives. but they also make cities a lot of money from tickets and fines. i'll look at one company that is said to be the center of a bribery scheme. i'll also introduce you to critics that say one city has rigged the system that have yellow lights that are a fraction of a second shorter meaning more tickets and fines. coming up next, you have seen him on the daily show, john stewart hired him. now the comedian has his own one-man show off of broadway. >> that goes to the core of my

identity. >> it's so important that you help. >> what are your feelings when i say the phrase, christians and guns? ♪

i like living a life of fear and being afraid of criminals and staying away from them. >> well, you know i was convicted of a crime, right?

[ laughter ]. >> in 1996, i was convicted of a non-violent drug crime. >> he has quickly made a name for himself as a correspondent on the daily show. but he is also telling his story in the new off-broadway show, homecoming king. >> the pepsi would explode all over the aisle, and my father would do what every father would do, check to see if the coast was clear and then [ inaudible ] [ laughter ]. >> they know. don't slap your body and bruise your arm when they can slap your face and bruise your soul. >> welcome. >> thanks for having me. >> let's talk about this show. you had this great job on the daily show -- >> i still have it. >> you still have it. >> yeah. yeah. >> why are you doing this one-man show? >> i wanted to share personal stories from my life. on the daily show, we're a

topical news program. and it's like buying groceries, there is a shelf life on them usually for that day or week. and personal narrative is one of those things where those stories have a longer shelf life. >> you are first generation indian american, muslim. >> correct. >> you said america has not always treated you right. >> i think most immigrants will have that sentiment. i love wi-fy, and [ inaudible ]. but i don't always agree with the government. you see every sort of ethnicity that has come to this country has experienced this. >> you are from davis, california. and this starts out with an incident that happened when you

were in high school? >> sure. yeah. it kind of takes root in this love story that i had. i tried to go with prom with someone. and the night of prom we decided to go, and i snuck out of my house, and we weren't able to go together, because -- this. -- >> because of the color of your skin? >> sure. yeah. >> they didn't want to send the pictures to relatives -- >> back home. >> what is that like for a kid? >> well, it's interesting because at that time -- >> it does sound very funny. >> no. but now that i have perspective of time from that incident. i was able to deal with it in a funny way. and that's the point of the show. we live in this post obama america, but there are still brown kids that get picked on

and made fun of. and that rhetoric still exists today. but i really wanted to make this show to connect with all of these kids. those that have felt this way for a variety of reasons. so many were not accepted for who they were. >> so you told me you are a busy guy. >> yeah. >> you do this show four nights a week and then the daily show -- >> the daily show, yeah. >> you were the last person chosen by jon stewart on that show. what does that mean to you? >> when jewish you da taps you, it's a huge deal. it was one of the best experiences of my life. and when dad told me he was leaving, i was like is it because of me? are you getting a divorce

because of me? and he is like no, i just want to see my family and kids. >> there are not that many indian comics are there? >> i think more and more of us are starting to convey our narrative. that's what i'm doing with this show. i don't think the country is black or white anymore. i think it's gray. i tried to take something as micro as -- about why a brown kid can't go to prom with a white girl, and extrapolated it to talk about something bigger. this is a huge problem that is very pervasive in this country. everybody may not deal with overt racism day-to-day. but there is covert racism that happens every day. and i wanted to talk about it in a personal way that is funny. and it opens up the dialogue, and people have started to share their stories. >> they tell you that after the

show? >> yeah, they will go on the website, and there's a share your story button. and they will say hey, i live in indiana. i'm gay, i came out of the closet and i'm dealing with this. and i think because of that people feel a little bit less alone. >> what advice do you have for young guys like yourselves? >> i think the biggest thing is to build the ship themselves. write the narrative that you want to see. if you don't see yourself in movies or on movie posters. if you don't see your type -- if your character doesn't exist in the x-man universe, write it. we're starting to see that. that star wars trailer created a huge backlash, they are like, what, how can a storm trooper be black? but we're at that moment.

and my piece of advice is what a time it is to be alive. >> i can't wait to see the show. great to meet you. thanks for doing this. >> thanks for having me. appreciate it. >> that's our broadcast. thanks for watching. i'm john siegenthaler. ali velshi is next. >> i'm ali velshi. "on target" tonight, hitting the brakes. red light cameras set up to make intersections safer also make a ton of revenue for america's cities. yellow lights and quick money that makes it hard to stop more than one. >> i'm talking tonight about two subjects that may not seem to belong in the same discussion. one is the number of people killed or injured in traffic accidents in american cities. the other is
