the president's plan calls for an end to combat operations in afghanistan next year and a withdraw by the end of the 2014. the president says afghanistan's president hamid karzai is onboard. >> both oof us recognize that we still have a lot of work to do and there will be great challenges ahead. the loss of life continues in afghanistan. there will be hard days ahead, but we're confident that we're on the right track and what this summit reflects is the world is behind this strategy that we've laid out. >> the big hurdle now to cross is the cost. the country doesn't have all the cash it needs. nato secretary general is optimistic that other countries will pitch in to help meet the roughly $4 billion price tag.

the obama campaign headquarters, just outside the nato summit in chicago. look at this. protesters on one side, police on the other, pushing back and forth. this was on sunday. several officers were injured. today, the superintendent of police defends his officers' actions. >> this is the same thing that's been happening all week and, in fact, has been happening in downtown chicago for quite some time. we have an unscheduled, unpermitted protest and we're doing exactly as we said. we're facilitating the protesters. we're keeping them sauf and we're helping them express their first amendment rights to free speech. >> today, though, much difference story outside the boeing corporation. protesters promised to target the company with disruptive behavior. police beefed up security. the situation much, much calmer

than the video we've been showing you from this past weekend. paul tell me exactly what you are and what you're seeing. it looks quieter. >> i'm right outside campaign headquarters. about 200 protesters below the building right now. obviousry the street completely sealed off. many of the protesters sitting on the ground. so far, a peaceful demonstration. we talked to the police department and they say so long as they're peaceful, they have no intent on clearing them out right now. so they've been chanting and senging songs. there has been a lot of taunting of police all weekend long. you could hear them saying who let the pigs out, oink, oink. many people say that just heightened things yesterday amid all the pushing and shoving, brooke. but right now, fretpretty calm.

>> what specifically are the protesters protesting? >> the large umbrella they're all under is they want nato out of afghanistan. there's a lot of talk about ending the drone attacks. mainly they're saying nato needs to get out of afghanistan. but they are very fragmented. it's not necessarily unified. one splinter group will go off on another tangent and they said that most of the trouble, by the way, has come from the -- >> oh, and we lost him. paul, appreciate it. let's move on. breaking today, a former rut ger student sentenced to 30 days in jail in the web cam spying case. dharun ravi was accused of spying on and intimidating his gay roommate. tyler clementi killed himself by jumping off a bridge in 2010. he was upset that ravi and others spied on him and saw him making out with another guy. his brother told a courtroom

today about tyler clementi's final days. >> tylerer's final days and hours were filled with fear, shame and a despair so great it ripped him away from me forever. his last moments consisted of knowing that the intimate details of his life were announced to the world on twitter, that his roommate who had given him a reasonable expectation of privacy in their room had recorded a sexual encounter and broadcast it to an unknown number of people. >> want to bring in cnn legal analyst sunny hostin. now we know the sentence 37 when you compare it to the maximum, he could have gotten 10 years, could have been deported to india. when you hear 30 days srg that fair in your eyes? were you surprised? >> i'm very shocked, actually. 10 years for some of the felony, but all together, he had exposure of about 60.5 years by my calculation. so a 30-day sentence i don't think is anyone that anyone

expected, considering that the two most serious felonies he was convicted of, there were 15 all together, were second degree felonies in new jersey. the bias intimidation counts. and the presumptive sentence is seven years. judges have discretion, but i have never seen in my years of practice, one attorney told me, a judge give anything less than the presumptive sentence. >> here's my other question. >> both crying, both frustrated with the sentence. my question is the judge in this case has plenty of time to think about a sentence before he walks in and hears all the testimony, he or she, i should say. how much impact does the testimony have on the judge? >> i have spoken to a lot of judges about this. both when i was practicing laws

as a prosecutor and even cover ing these cases. some judges say i have my mine made up. i know the range i'm going to give when i get in there and i've already seen a lot of victim impact statements. those are typically submitted before the sentencing in writing. but some judges said i know a range in my mind. sometimes there are mandatory sentencing requirements. but i do listen, i can be persuaded at the sentencing hearing. i would be surprised if this judge took into tt what he heard. in particular from tyler clementi's father and mother and brother. to give 30 days in prison after hearing that, it just seems to me that his mind may have been made up. >> you know, final question to you. this is something we talked about. obviously it starked a national

conversation. my question to you, do you think the outcome will set any kind of precedent in other states here after what happened at rutgers? >> there's no question this case has had a significant impact in our society. new jersey passed what i believe is the most robust anti-bullying statute on the case. there's no question that that is certainly a product of this terrible tragedy, that people are paying awant to bullying now, there are stronger laws on the books. you know, is this 30-day sentence a deterrent? well, no. i don't think so. but the fact that there are stronger laws on the books, particularly in the lbgt community is a good thing that

came out of this strategy. >> we're going to talk about this man who has fathered 30 children from 11 ladies and wants a break on child support. a lot more for you the next hour here. roll it. a riot breaks out as inmates take control of a prison and at one point, 25 people are held hostage. how could this happen? i'm brooke baldwin. the news is now. tragedy at the world's highest peak. three climbers die on mt. everest as dozens flock to the top. plus, a tv news exclusive, john mayer speaks up about his disastrous "playboy" interview. >> violent awakening into adulthood. >> you'll hear it here first. 6 blal 6

lasted about 12 hours. reports that inmates beat 24-year-old kaitlyn carrithers to death. it's still not clear how, why all this chaos erupted in this prison. this was natchess, missouri. some inmates took more than two dozen hostages. 16 other employees are recovering. three inmates had to go to the hospital. their wounds apparently came from fellow prisons. the whole thing went down as family and loved ones were outside the prison walls. they were watching, they were confused and they were worried as well. >> it's awful. it's awful. >> the helicopter left. you don't know who they're leaving with, you know? >> joining me now, hln law enforcement able list mooic brooks. welcome. >> thank you, brooke. >> you were a hostage negotiator for d.c. police and the fbi

and everything that it entailed went on for 12 hours, does that strike you as a long amount of time? >> from the time it happened up until the time it quelled, 12 hour, i would say that's not bad. we've seen some of these standoffs in prisons go on for days or weeks. so 12 hours is not bad, especially to try to get things back under control in 12 hours. how do they do that? >> we heard a woman whose husband was part of a s.w.a.t. team or a response team that are specially trained to go in. the majority of prison guards, they are not armed. you know, they are out in pods with some of these people. even though this was a minimum correction facility. you're out in pods with maybe just a stick or pepper spray. maybe nothing at all. if you're jumped, i mean, it's such a dangerous job. you know, and this was a contract facility run by the correctional corporation of

america. a lot of people say well, aren't these contract prisons, are they as safe? are they under the same standards? yes, they are. absolutely. the bureau of prisons will oversee to make sure those people are chained, that facilities are up to snuff with the federal standards. because you've got bureau of prisons, you've got immigration customs enforcement and u.s. martial service that they contract for. these are all the main people that hold prisoners all around the country. >> final question to you, is this the kind of thing, particularly in prison riots where you have one person serving as a catalyst. or is it preplanned? many people in on it? >> a lot of times you have one person or a group. and there were some -- i heard there were some inmates who were being encouraged to join in but they didn't want anything 250d with it. but the people there know what groups are calling it. believe it or not, group of prisons have an intelligence group that oversees different gang all across the country.

this man was in charge of that part of mexico, which is a major lucrative transit point for criminal organizations. now, what we're seeing is criminal organizations are is killing people in some parts of mexico and transporting bo bodies to other parts of mexico. that's what officials suggested when they made the announce. of his arrest. >> next, it could be the next step in america's space flight, but they have to get it off the ground here. launch one not successful. how is launch looking, launch is what, about 12 hours? >> nasa tv is going to pick up live countdown at 2:30 a.m. eastern time so you can watch it on nasa tv. >> if you're up that early. >> or not to bed yet. the reason why it's such weird tiempls, as this goes up to iss, it has to be able to catch it. if it doesn't launch at the

>> i don't think so. we talk about a lot of things on this program. and i am rarely stumped and don't have much to say, but it's a stumped moment for me. the bottom line in tennessee, he is supposed to give 50% of his paycheck to the 11 women he fathered his children with and they're supposed to divide it equality. some of the women are only getting $1.49 because he does work minimum wage. just this week, he's asking the court to give him a break on those payments. on the $1.49 that he's giving to help support his children. i don't think the judge is going to help him out. i was reading recently, one of the news reports that perhaps he needs to now do the cost benefit analysis of birth control 37 i think that's a really good suggestion for this guy.

region where there's just so little oxygen, it's hard to function properly. storms can come upon you very quickly. and i think another aspect of this that's -- should be mentioned is that there's a tremendous drive at this point, after months on the mountain, to reach the summit, which affects decision making. and that alone is enough to call it the death zone. >> so they had been to the summit. how is that dangerous? you think by the time you get up there, you're fine and then you're fine going back down, but in fact that's not the case, why? >> principally, it's because people treat the summit as the finish line, they put all of their energy into getting to the top. then they have the euphoria, it's a moment of great triumph, and then one has to get back down to the safety of the high
