thank you so much nor joining me. don't forget you can follow me on twitter, if you can spell smerconi smerconish. see you next week. today a daring rescue attempt to save american hostage luke somers goes terribly wrong. >> both mr. somers and a second non u.s. citizen hostage were in the words of hagel, murdered by the terrorist during the course of the operation. >> plus. >> who do you serve? who do you protect? >> protests heat up nationwide with more planned for today. rolling stone apologizes for discrepancies in an article about gang rape. and parents learn the dark truth about a synthetic drug killing

teens. another massive typhoon slams into the philippines. the latest right now in the cnn news room. >> so good to be with you this morning. i'm christy paul. >> i'm victor black well. 10:00 here on the east coast. 7:00 on the west coast. >> a dramatic mission by american special forces ends in heartbreak for a family who desperately wanted their son home. >> but american luke somers is dead along with another hostage. u.s. commandos swept in overnight to try to get the man to safety. he had been held more than a year. just days ago the milt pts released a video threatening to kill him unless washington met their demands and we are learning new details.

>> a fire fight broke out and they shot somers and another hostage. one died on the way to the u.s. military ship. the other died aboard that vessel. president obama is talking today about this as is secretary hagel who you see there. but the president is saying that his deepest con doelss are with the somers family. >> he also explained why he ordered had resident accuse missio -- rescue mission. this is a quote. earlier it was announced that luke was would be killed within 72 hours. and also indicated his life was in imminent danger. >> goes on to say based on this assessment and as soon as there was reliable intelligence and ab plan in place. i authorized it and the rescue of any other hostages in that

same location. >> peter. thanks for being was. as we mentioned parking light oba -- president obama ordered this raid because there is compelling reason. we noticed they had been held captive since last year. and people might look at this and say did the u.s. wait too long to attempt a mission. >> it's hard to assess because a lot of fact wes don't know. but as you know there was a rescue operation in november. at a place where he was being held. and in fact a number of the al qaeda abductors were killed in the raid and some hostages were released. unfortunately mr. somers had been moved before that raid took place. and so, you know, i think the -- i'm pretty sure al qaeda and the arabian peninsula was quite well prepared for the possibility of another rescue attempt. you had one failed attempt back in november. you have had the deadline expiring on -- you know, in the

video demands they made. they would have been i think quite alert to the fact that a rescue attempt was possible. >> is -- snatching a page out of the i the isis's book. they are more likely to hold for ransom. where we seeing is a shift. >> yemen is a place where kidnapping for ransom is endemic. i spent time there in fact narrowly being kidnapped by myself. and it is quite unusual in yemen more people to be killed. there was a case back in 1998 where a group of western hostages was taken by al qaeda in the arabian peninsula or a predecessor group. a hostage operation was mounted by the government. it was a fiasco and some hostages were killed in the cross-fire. in this operation that took place yesterday, we are hearing

from the u.s. government that it was the hostage takers themselves that executed the hostages. and, you know, let's see as we learn more details. let's see how this all plays out. >> peter, for the last few months, the focus at least publicly for the u.s. has really been isis. now we're learning about this. how does the u.s. focus on so many different things going on? >> well, the united states is certainly capable of operating in more than one theater. and al kield in the arabian peninsula has been the subject of a great deal of u.s. navy seal actions against it. the cia drone strikes. more than a hundred directed at al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. almost every one of those except one took place under obama. there was one strike under george w. bush. at least a hundred almost

missile strikes. so the united states has been engaging aggressively against this group since the attempt to bring down the flight over detroit on christmas day 2009. so for almost five years there has been an aggressive campaign. >> peter bergen from washington. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> so this dramatic rescue that we've been talking about. we want to get to jim shudo. he's been standing buy in kabul listening to secretary of defense hagel as he talked about the rescue. as well as how we move forward with an announcement of troops in afghanistan. so jim, i want to send it to you. what have you learned this morning. >> reporter: -- >> let's try one more time. jim, do you have us? >> reporter: i hear you now.

>> the question, you have been in this news conference with secretary of defense hagel and afghan president. what are you learning? >> reporter: well two head lines i would say. first the head line regarding u.s. troops in afghanistan. secretary of defense hagel announcing that instead of the u.s. troop presence dropping by the end of this year, an extra 1,000 u.s. troops will remain in afghanistan. that will make the total 10,800 al told. the reason they give for this one, that it took so long to get a bilateral security agreement signed with the afghans. but two, also we've learned through defense officials that it is baecause our nato partner allies here haven't made clear their commitment for troops so

you need that extra u.s. forces to fulfill the mission. that is one head line. regarding the operation in yemen secretary of defense hagel expressing condolences and saying his and other's hearts were broken today because of this news here. he assay says it was a well exe operation and good intelligence and they had indications that the life of the american was in imminent danger. so they took the decision to go in. we've also learned that they got better information just in the last 24 or 48 hours as to exactly where he was being held. operating both on the threat but also better intel about the location. they went in. they had a risky mission. but a fire fight broke out and in that fire fight, it is believed that one of or several of the al qaeda aqaap killed the

hostages, both the american and south african who were held. so definitely of course not the result they were hoping with this operation. and you can hear that disappointment in the secretary's voice this afternoon. >> we also understand that several of the aqap terrorists holding that hostage, they were killed as well. >> we lost him. we apologize. but we are getting word several terrorists who were holding them captive were also killed in that mission. >> absolutely. let's talk about the protesters who were out in full force across the u.s. last night. >> the protesting via choke hold death of eric garner at the hand of a new york city policeman, would body cameras have helped

there has been this is a stunning turn of events ater s rolling stone. people could not stop talking about this. >> in the article, a woman named jackie recounted her alleged gang rape. on friday it said quote in the face of new information there now appears to be discrepancies in jacky's account and we have to come to the conclusion that our trust in her was misplaced. >> we want to bring in brian. good to see you. this isn't a retraction, we want to point out. it is an apology. is there a difference here?

>> right there is and it is an important distinction. rolling stone is apologizing for some of the manner they published had story. but they are not saying they believe the story is false. if they retract they would be saying they don't believe it. the washington post spoke to jackie at length repeatedly and she stands by her story. a lot of folks believe maybe there are parts of her story that don't add up but that she did go through something deeply traumatic and we shouldn't let this one case distract from the very real issues going on at uva and other college campuses. regardless of that, very embarrassing for rolling stone. a magazine that prides itself on fact checking to have not fact checked in this case. >> let's talk about that moment, the fact checking. rolling stone decided not to contact the boy, i guess young men in some cases accused in

jackie's story and that she'd asked them not to. we know from interviewing sexual assault victims that you want to be very careful in dealing with these stories but was that the right call at the time? obviously now it appears it wasn't. >> and even rolling stone admitting that. he said we made a judgment. it was wrong. we should have not made this agreement with jackie or worked hard to convince her getting treatment was better served. and then added that failure is on us. not on her. and this is more of a journalistic sin on anything education. to agree not to go to those other sources is why now this has become such a terrible story. >> thanks brian. demonstrators plan to take to the streets again today over the death of eric garner. >> the new york man who died

i am an electric crew foreman out of the cupertino service center. i was born and raised in the cupertino area. it's a fantastic area to work. the new technology that we are installing out in the field is important for the customers because system reliability i believe is number one. pg&e is always trying to plan for the future and we are always trying to build something stronger and bigger and more reliable. i love living here and i love the community i serve. nobody wants to be without power. i don't want my family to be without power. it's much more personal to me for that reason. i don't think there's any place i really would rather be. some of the big news, you know, this whole week has been eric garner and the fact he died and there is no indictment for the police officer who put him in the choke hold and is responsible for his death.

that obviously has led to some of the protests that we've seen overnight. some that are planned again today we know in new york city. but we want to look closer at that video again and see. kind of break it down. with an attorney. so we can try to figure out maybe what exactly the grand jury was thinking, why they came to the conclusion they did and is there anything left to be done. >> yeah the encounter we saw started with a man's frustration with police. police coming because of reports of his selling loose cigarettes there known as looucys. we've seen the takedown. let's talk about what happened before that. watch. >> none of my business. stopping and come up on me? the people that fighting walk away? are you serious? i didn't do nothing. what did i do? >> so you hear eric garner

telling the cops that i'm just minding my own business. every time you see me you arrest me. what should the cops have done at that point, when he allegedly is selling loose cigarettes. is that even an offense for which one can be arrested, darren. >> it is. selling lucys as they are called, is a misdemeanor offense. and so the police are entitled to engage in lawful investigative or detention or even arrest conduct when it comes to that. but i think fundamentally victor, the thing that leaps out to me here is in the court of public opinion, there really is outrage act the lack of proportionalty, this notion that all we're talking about is loose cigarettes. and now in the bright light of 20/20 hindsight we see this man paid with his life and there is something that seems fundamentally unfair about that. as well as the fundamental lack of transparency that we get from

the grand jury process and that is a whole other issue to be discussed. >> let's keep looking at this video for a second. >> i didn't do nothing. i did not sell nothing. >> [inaudible]. >> because every time you see me you want to harass me. you want to stop me saying i'm selling cigarettes. i'm minding by business officer. please just leave me alone. i told you the last time. please just leave me a i loan. >> leave me alone i'm minding my own business. he even said why do you keep arresting me. as i understand it. he had 31 arrests. i don't know that any charges ever came from any of those. do you know? i guess a few did but what kind of a threat did he pose for what happened? >> that's exactly right christy. there had been a string of arrests and police know about the arrest records of those they have a contact with.

but when it comes to misdemeanor offenses, generally speaking law enforcement officers are only supposed to make arrests for offenses that occur in their presence. and here this is in the aftermath of a fight that mr. garner broke up. it wasn't as if the police observed any illegal conduct he was engaged in. at least what i've been able to glean from this tape. so that is something that is problematic and i think another factor that leaves people wondering why it was this grand jury didn't indict. or more specifically what it was that gave these officers the legal justification to be attempting to place garner under arre arrest. >> all righty. well thank you so much darren. we appreciate you breaking it down for us. >> thank you darren. >> thanks for having me. president obama calls the desk death of an american hostage barbaric. we'll talk with a fellow

journalist who knew somers in yemen and says he had a deep love for the country and its people. first we're exploring the world of street art. shepherd ferry and sleeve --. explain how the sub culture has turned a corner now and which artists are leading the way. >> one image is enough to make a statement. street art, it is the universal language of images which speaks out from the most unexpected co corners of our cities. the lines capture our history. the colors captivate. they deck vat. they provoke. >> i see street art as a metaphor for courageous expression in any venue. >> this subculture is turning into that multimillion business.

last year street art worth an estimated $80 million was traded globally. once associated with the vandalism but it now holds a prime position in contemporary art market. >> when people are buying it it is almost like buying a slice of philosophy, buying a slice of rebellion. and by buying they take part and feel participant of it. >> we're consulting two expert, a view from the street and a view from the gallery to discover whithree artists they would they would consider the ones to watch. >> i like art that's pleasing to the eye but also work that that there is to peel back. >> she has that kind of one iconic image that people can link with. it's part that old political tradition of graffiti.

it. more on the death of the american hostage luke somers in yemen. >> as he was trying to be rescu rescued. joining us from washington, tooek. thank you so much. and first our sincere condolences to you about luke what and what has happened. what we're learning today, to his friends and family as well. and i'm wondering what were of you -- when you heard about it, whereas the first thing you thought of? >> i think when i first heard about his kidnap and then earlier this morning upon his death. of all the people i met in yemen, luke is certainly not the person this should have happened to. he was passionate about the country, it's people and just a

very thoughtful, quirky guy. >> you say he was quirky. you also say in this news hour on the website online that he was thoughtful, passionate. tell us more about his personality and your interaction with him. >> honestly i didn't know know him particularly well. but we did cross paths about a dozen times both socially and for work. you know, he was really dedicated to yemen and he spent, you know, over two years there continuously, telling the stories and documenting the people that he met. and he really truly seemed to enjoy it. >> did the two of you ever talking about having any fear the in yemen for your own safety? >> i think it's something that, you know, all of us as journalists, it was a pretty small community were aware of. there were definitely at lot of danger. i think it's something everyone

was aware of. >> thank you for helping us understand more about this person that you called a friend and crossed paths with about a dozen times. appreciate your time this morning. >> thanks for having me. >> our condolences again to you and the family of course. all right. still to come should police officers be forced to wear body cameras? that's one of the questions that has come up in the last couple weeks. some arguing cameras would help police and they would help citizens. >> if you look at this case, many are asking how effective can they be? especially after a grand jury decided not to diindict an offir caught on this video? we got baltimore's police commissioner up next.

people i never would have met or known or probably still never would meet they are out there. they are standing for my son. >> my son woke me up and said ma look out the window it's like a thousand people on the street. and i looked out the window and i see all these people walking past. and mind you i'm on the 19th floor. and they're yelling out eric garner. eric began garner.

and i'm overwhelmed. i'm crying. my son is like yeah are you all right? and i'm yeah i'm okay but look at the all the love your father is getting. >> that was his wife moments ago at a rally in harlem. referring to the recent protests around the decision tnot to indict the police officer involved in the choke hold death. overnight blocking off bridges and intersections and today more demonstrations are planned in los angeles, also washington, d.c. and support for body cameras is gaining support across the country. >> president obama announced a $263 million package to help local police departments buy and use 50,000 cameras. and a new york police department has launched a pilot program to test that technology. new york of course will be under the spotlight. not only because it is the

nation's largest police department but because new york is where a garage decirand jury not to indict the police officer who was involved with eric garner. >> once again police beating up on people. >> baltimore police commissioner joins us now. commissioner good to have you. >> good morning. thank you very manager me. >> so president obama named you a white house task force aimed at reforming police departments and you say cops should be required to record all interactions with the public. there are a lot of people, the protesters who point to the garner case, and ask what is the point of body cameras? especially after we see what happened on staten island. if the body camera has been on there still would have been been

this result. >> my thought process first, i haven't been named to a panel yet. i hope or aspire to be on the panel. but the thing with body cameras, they are not a panacea. they are not going to solve the problems within law enforcement but they will bring accountability to police officers and also the residents engaging or interacting with the police officers. >> people in california say body cameras have been a success. complaints dropped 88% once cameras were put into use. and this was apparently a yearlong program. use of force dropped almost 60%. that was in realto. do you think it could be the same in other communities because every community is different. >> this is the third police department i've been in charge of. the second was in oakland

california. we were like one of three departments in the united states out of 18 nous that started with body cameras. you saw the results. reduction in citizen complaints and better behavior at only on the part of the police officers but also of the residents. the reality is you have police officers sometimes with bad behavior but citizens that make up complaints too. so it causes both to be on best behavior. the bigger things is the interaction you can go back and review for training and for discipline purposes. >> for discipline purposes and training. but the value to the public and the garner case was that video was immediately available because someone recorded it on their cell phone. how would that video in a police department be made available to the public? would that be something that's simple -- and i don't want to go too and talk baseball here. but i could just request as a public document or public record and get?

or it becomes part of the case file and we could not get it? >> i think it would be all of the above. any time you take a police report, the public has a right to see that. you can do a public information request. you will get that. the same thing with the video. which brings up other issues. if we film it. if we have it in our archives the public has a right to it. if you to go into a home and film a secretive or volatile situation, the public or the media also has access to that. so that brings up other privacy issues we're discussing right now. >> talking about privacy issue, i'm wondering. if cops, they have control of these cameras. they can turn them on. they can turn them off. does that not leave room one for human error and two for corruption if there happens to be any. >> when i was in oakland i didn't give them the option to turn it on or off. it was mandated. any time you came in contact

with a citizen you were to do turn the camera on and keep it on until that came to a conclusion. at least for me i didn't allow them or give them the option to turn it on. you will have it on. and with that the public has access to all the that data. >> let's also talk about the money. i'd like to now how much does it cost to buy the cameras, train the officers. it has to be a huge amount. and departments are struggling. >> that is true. there again compared to baltimore, that has approximately 3,000 police officers and oakland had roughly about 806, it is a lot easier to give 860 officers the cameras and usually it is not all. but the ones who in parole patrol and have daily contact with residents. be baltimore, just the hardware is is somewhere close to between 6 to $12 million just to start.

then you have to download that data at the end of a shift. you have the cost of expanding on servers. so you have a multitude of servers that you have to back up this information. you can also utilize cloud data but then you have an administrative over head that you have pay for there also. so there is a cost factor that is ongoing. the bigger issue is how long you keep that data. the aclu has said they only want you to keep that kind of data for like two to three days if it doesn't have a criminal nexus. for law enforcement you may want to keep that longer especially if there is connective to a murder. also if you are going to get sued those lawsuits may extend out to five years so you may have to capture that data if a police department that has so many police officers downloading seven days a week. that is a lot of storage. >> certainly is. thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you sir. >> thank you. i appreciate it.

we asked people a question how much money do you think you'll need when you retire? then we gave each person a ribbon to show how many years that amount might last. i was trying to like, pull it a little further got me to 70 years old i'm going to have to rethink this thing it's hard to imagine how much we'll need for a retirement that could last 30 years or more. so maybe we need to approach things differently, if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. ♪ [ shutter clicks ] hi there!

bricks parts of major cities to a standstill. and now eric garner's family is preparing to honor him with a nationwide event. then the interview you only see on cnn. janice dickinson sharing why she is just now publicly accusing bill cosby of raping her. >> i remember being humiliated disgusted. i had revulsion towards cosby. and cosby was a very powerful man and probably till still is. >> face to face with janice dickinson. what you haven't heard from the super model next. >> this is cnn breaking news. we begin now with new information. we are learning this hour about the killing of american hostage luke somers. the pentagon says terrorists belonging to al qaeda in the arabian peninsula or aqap killed

luke somers --. a fire fight broke out soon after a team of about three dozen commandos descended on the compound last night. they lost the element of surprise at the last minute and that is when a fire fight broke out. one terrorist ran inside the compound and shot the hostages. a u.s. medical team was able to evacuate somers and the -- and but they were badly wounded. one died on the way to the ship. the other on the ship. >> i released a statement a couple hours ago about mr. somers death. he was murdered an attempt by

american forces to rescue him from terrorist groups in yemen. our hearts are full of sorrow tonight. our prayers and thoughts go out to the somers' family. there was also another hostage who was also killed. in that attempted rescue. and our prayers and thoughts go out to all the families involved. >> president obama explained his reasons for ordering the rescue attempt. and a fairly lengthy statement released this morning. what did the president have to say? >> strong words. he said in a statement this morning is that the united states strongly condemns the

barbaric murder of luke somers during the resident accuse operation conducted in yemen. on behalf of the american people i offer my deepest condolences to luke's people and to his loved ones. and keep in mind this decision was made personally by the president himself yesterday here at the white house. and it is clear this morning he is feeling the weight of this responsibility. he also says in his statement that it is his highest responsibility to do everything possible for americans. >> american hostage luke somers pleaded for his life in this video released by aqap kapters. >> i'm looking for any help if they can get me out of this situation. i'm certain that my life is in danger. >> somers had been living and working in yemen for years until he was kidnapped 14 months ago. his family broke their silence thursday. >> he is only a photo journalist and he is not responsible for any actions the u.s. government

has taken. >> please give us opportunity to see our luke again. he is all that we have. >> just last week the president approved a mission to rescue somers that failed, raising questions whether he took too long to give the okay. >> what i would reject in the strongest possible terms is that there is any delay here in the white house in approving this mission. >> involving a the rigorous process, one developed by military planners, approved by the secretary of defense and then sent to the president's desk. >> it was approved by the commander in chief after that review. and much less than 48 hours. >> if anything can be done, please let it be done. >> the terror group kulzed the u.s. of bombing its fighters and threatened to execute somers in three days if washington failed to meet demands, which in the video weren't clear. >> reporter: and u.s. officials tell us the first mission to rescue somers really did provide

crucial intelligence to help find him for the second mission. but clearly president obama offering a the explanation this morning. he said the u.s. spares no effort to rescue americans. >> thanks so much. defense secretary chuck hagel also had a major military announcement while in afghanistan. he said u.s. will keep a larger force in the country for the first few months of 2015 than it initially planned. up to 10,800 troops will remain in afghanistan at the stort of the new year. previously calling for 1,000 fewer. president obama offered the change in size to offer the flexibility. from california to m massachusetts, bridges blocked and protesters demanding justice. >> i can't breathe, i can't

kbrooent i can't breathe. >> angry over the failure of the grand jury to diet the officer who put him in the choke hold. they staged sit ins and die ins in a number of cities. and in some cities like miami, traffic was tied up for miles as you see there. demonstrations for passionate but mostly peaceful. and in new york city demonstrators took a very unique turn. hundreds of marchers powder into two of manhattan's most popular retail stores, macy's in herald square and the apple store to stage die ins. they weren't challenged by police or staff and left peacefully after several minutes. joining from new york, tell us more about how these store managers felt compelled to

handle this. >> there was almost no reaction from the stores. it sounds kind of crazy but a at this time of year these stores really are accustomed to dealing with large crowds and it is quite possible that the managers didn't notice these people were protesters until they tarted lying down. and they moved quickly because they know if they stay in one place too long it increases the likelihood that arrests ensue. so it wasn't really an issue. and last night overall the protests were kind of tame. you know over the last two days in new york, the last three days we've seen a lot more people in the street. yesterday the weather wasn't really that great. so that reduced the number of people on the streets. and as soon as the police detention vans showed up, the crowds seemed to disperse pretty quickly. in fact there were only two arrests last night. keep in mind these protests are

organized and they are professional. last night there was pamphlets handed out that listedo eed out demands. one was that all the officers involved in the death of eric garner should be fired. the other demand is the new york attorney general should launch a special examination into excessive yoo us of police force. also this morning we had eric garner's mother talk about the tenor of the protests here in new york. take a listen. >> they were walking by and i looked out the window because i was so amazed. i was so overjoyed. and one fellow recognized me. it was a white guy. he recognized me. he said there is eric garner's mother. he came over to hug me. and then everybody else followed. they just came and wanted to take pictures and i was just so proud of that crowd.

and it just warmed my heart. they say oh we're sorry o we're sticking you in traffic. i told them don't worry about it. do what you have to do. >> so there you have it. and actually there should be a small gathering of people today at eric garner's family heads to the sight of his death to lay a wreath. we had that going on today. but as for more protests we're still monitoring social media to see what actions are planned for today and this evening in new york. >> thank you so much. coming up, rolling stone magazine apologizes for their bomb shell magazine of alleged rapes. a uva. and also ahead a typhoon slamming into the land with winds of nearly 80 miles per hour. live in the philippines where people are bracing for disaster.

and now redwret the decision to not contact the alleged assaulters to get their account. we are taking seriously -- taking this seriously and apologize to anybody affected by the story. end quote. want to go to cnn sarah gannon on uva's campus.

we just got that statement from the phi kappa psi fraternity. and what was said? >> reporter: just a few minutes ago got an updated statement from the fraternity saying the fraternity and university officials actually contacted charlottesville police and were working with them weeks before the article came out about this specific allegation. i want to read more of that statement fred while i have it here. it says while individuals undergraduate members of the chapter were contacted by the rolling stone writer to comment on the, quote, gang rape at phi psi they provide nod information thuz they had no information to provide. to my knowledge no member was contacted by the rolling stone fact checkers. this is coming like you said a day after rolling stone appears

to be dialing back, stepping away from reporting on the story and also stepping back from the woman who was at the center of that piece. >> after an article that prompted outrage at the university of virginia, rolling stone magazine has apologized for discrepancies about an alleged gang rape on the campus. editors said they made the choice not to contact key figures in recession to the jackie on jackie's fear of retaliation against her. in the face of new information there now appear to be discrepancies in jackie's account, the magazine said. and we have come to the con chugs our trust in her was misplaced. the article also chronicled the school's failure to respond to that alleged assault which in turn prompted a university suspension until all activity until january and a severe policy towards assault cases. >> we must find where it hides

out and root it out. >> according to the magazine jackie claimed she was raped by seven men during a party at the fraternity house. however the fraternity says there was no party the night of the alleged attack. and the chapter's lawyer says he has the records to prove it. in the meantime jackie's friends and supporters are still left confused. they still believe she experienced a trauma but the new information left them questioning what really might have happened to jackie. the washington post talked to jackie who stands by her story. he told the post, i never asked for this. what bothers me is that so many people act like it didn't happen. despite the latest developments in the story, students still tund turned out determined to keep the focus on combatting sexual assaults against women. >> it is terrible that they are

going against her now and placing irresponsibility upon her as someone who's guilty or untrustwort untrustworthy. i feel like they should have known from the beginning publishing that story it's something they should have known they could never know exactly what happened. >> some of the discrepancies described to us from the chapter's attorney. they say there was no party the night jackie describes being raped. the man who she says orchestrated the attack was not a member. that there was no side staircase that she describes in the story as walking down inside the house before exiting through a side door. the attorney says that does not exist. and finally there were no pledges during that time of year. and one final thing. i think it's important to say

what isn't the being disputed here is that is the university's overall response to sexual assaults. the university has admitted it has never expelled a student for sexual assaults even when that student admitted to it. and they are saying where the focus should be. the stories of those survivors should not be discredited because of this. >> let's bring in joey jackson and brian stellter. rolling stone nibl initially today by their cover story. and the editors knew that. that is part of the process when reporter talks to editor before anything is printed so much of a blow to the magazine's image is this? or does this also display that there is a breakdown in the process in which a story is printed before it is, you know, in front of the readers.

>> at this moment it is a crushing blow for rolling stone fredericka. they have done so many excellent stories over the years. so many really important stories at kplebt topics. it is not just a music magazine. the as forum for deep investigative reporting but this is clearly a breakdown in the process. and they have acknowledged as much. but in this case they made a judgment call not to reach out of the other side of the story. em it is not even clear if they knew the names of the accusers and they have acknowledged that was an error. >> so brian, that rolling stone is calling it an apology. it is not a retraction. >> that's right. >> is this the prelude to rae traction or apology and that is it. >> more importantly it need to

be done by rolling stoeb and others if they were to call it a retraction they would be saying the story is false. and they don't have the evidence for that. i think what sarah was saying is crucially important here. is that jackie stands by her story and many of her friends feel clearly there was some traumatic that occurred. but because parts of the story are in dispute they had to at least come out and apologize. >> and the alleged attackers were not named but instead there were nicknames in the story. and the woman described as jackie also describes who, you know, her initial alleged attacker was. if he was third year. that he worked at the swimming pool as the life guard. so how can rolling stone really defend itself here in also trying to protect the identity of people in the story? >> sure. fredericka, good morning. good morning brian. this is problematic for a number of reasons fredericka.

an important part of investigative reporting is the corroborate and confirm facts prior to printing them. so is it defamation. have they affected the reputation of people and has that cause those individuals damages in their lives? it depends on whether there is truth to this. because an absolute defense to defamation or illegal action is that it's true. but in terms of the factual underpinnings, did it happen? how? the lojs iristgistics of whenn'? and we don't know. so if there is mention on the part of rolling stone with regard to their report not only might the individuals of that particular piece have a cause of action in claim but the fraternity in and of itself based upon the light in which it was displayed to the public may have a cause of auction.

because let's face it. people were taken aback and quite disturbed by all the details and how has that effected the fraternity. so to the extent it may have and this is untrue, rolling stone exposed itself to a great deal of liability potentially. >> most importantly, most rape claims are true. we should keep that in mind. even if this one was not entirely accurate. most claims are true. and we should not let this story cause people to be more skeptical of other women's claims in the future. >> and that is what we're going to be asking a uva grad joining us later today. who was raped while she was attending school and that is one of the repercussions potentially that could come from this rolling stone uva investigation and now apology. how much does it further impact victims who already have a hard time coming forward? now what? still ahead, hundreds of thousands evacuated as a typhoon slams into the lands with winds

a massive typhoon slams into the eastern philippines. typhoon hagupit made land fall just a few hours ago hitting the force of a category 3 hurricane

near the city of delores. so the area still recovering from last year's very devastating typhoon, how bad is it this time? >> reporter: this ties with the strongest typhoon of the season, of this particular year. but 13 months ago it was the strongest typhoon, the strongest storm of any kind, in any basin, ocean basin, to make land fall. and that was just a hundred miles away from where we're looking at now. hagupit has made land shore about 2 and a half hours or so ago. and winds still sustained at 125 miles per hour. that northern edge, this northwestern quadrant has eroded quite a bit. but the big problem will be the storm surge and the rain fall. a lot of o areas are going to be battered by the wind but the big potential killer is going to be that storm surge.

here you can see -- and manila. and manilla is very prone to flooding. expecting one to three feet of rainfall. add to that the storm surge that could be as much as 15 feet. this has sped up a little bit. so that is good news. but nonetheless it still has very strong, very deadly winds. here is what we're expecting as we go into monday. the wind increasing but still the bimg pact fredericka is going to be that extremely heavy flooding. mud slides. landslides. nonetheless the tens of thousands of people who live there, they were already in some cases in temporary shelters. but now they had been moved away from this. >> keep us posted on that.

snool rolling stone now apologizing for the article about a alleged gang rape of a u va student. in the face of new information they are saying there now appears to be discrepancies in the accusers recount.

the washington post -- she was sexual assaulted as a freshman college student in 198 4 at the phi kappa psi fraternity at uva. the same fraternity mentioned by the accuser in this piece. liz, also is the author of "crash into me, a survivor search for justice" thanks for being able to join us. what is your reaction to this apology now from rolling stone. >> i have so many emotions from my survivor emotions to my journalist emotions and also being part of the piece and having worked with sabrina for many months for my tiny tiny part. i think that what i can say most of all is i'm very, very disappointed in this turn of events. i'm not discounting that something happened.

i also, you know, what rolling stone must do. but i think there is a bigger question raised. you know, rolling stone is a venerable publication. they have fact checkers, they have legal. so this story -- and i don't really want this to become about journalistic integrity although that is very important as you and i know. i think the conversation still needs to be about the fact that campus rape is very real. and i don't have to stand by my story because there are police records and medical records and there is one man who went to jail. i think the we rush to completely discredit this witness coming forward, everybody has their own truth and way of coming forward and i understand why people are being critical of many parties involved. but in my experience, i think what rolling stone is doing now

is -- or what america is listening to is a feeling that okay, what i don't want to happen is all rape survivors are liars kind of thing to be happening. and i don't want that. i think most intelligent people, what they are gleaning from this is that, you know, we made some mistakes. the journalist makes some mistakes. the complaining witness or survivor maybe embellished a few facts but i don't know. i don't know. but i really think it is very important for us to listen to our rape victims. but i think at the end of the day what is going to happen, more rape victims are going to go to seek medical attention. they are going to go to the police. because the whole idea of this belief is weighing very heavily. >> is it your fear or worry that rolling stone is buckling to perhaps any pressure from uva or the fraternity phi kappa psi that the article did not name or

have the accounts from the alleged assaulters? and ds u -- and is it a problem within the editorial process in rolling stone? is it an error that was made. >> i don't even want to speculate on that. i'm not really a conspiracy theorist. 've seen on twitter people a alleging phi kappa psi's lawyers are alleging -- i can't give any credence to that. ky only speak to myself and the disastrous way i was treated by the university of virginia. and, you know, i think people are talking about the idea that it is an editorial problem. in my dealings with zrsabrina. i would qualify a fact checker

in the tiniest bit in that article. and the fact checker was amazing and spent great deem of time with me on the phone. i don't know where this went wrong. i do know it puts journalist on edge and really tightening up their game. and that i think when you are dealing with victims of trauma too it is very easy to get lost in a story where the person may not have the best recollection. there are still discrepancies in my head because i don't have the best memory of that night as is chronicles in my book. and i only thought one man raped me. and it turns out i didn't remember it turns out there were three. i didn't know know until a few years ago that there were three. and the case is still open. so that is kind of what i want to say. so let's not all rush to judgment on either jackie or sabrina or the university or phi

kappa psi. everybody needs to take it down a notch and calm down and let's see where this investigation leads. >> thank you for joining us. appreciate your time. >> thanks. >> we're just now hours away from the acc football championship and all eyes will be on fsu quarterback jameis winston. but his focus this week has been off the field defending himself against code of conduct violations. what happens when big time sports meet big time controversy? creeping up on you... fight back with relief so smooth... ...it's fast. tums smoothies starts dissolving the instant it touches your tongue ...and neutralizes stomach acid at the source. ♪ tum, tum tum tum... smoothies! only from tums.

jameis winston is the reigning hughreign ing heisman trophy winner. but this week has also been in a spotlight for accusation that he sexual assaulted a woman two years ago. florida state university and leaders in tallahassee been criticized heavily for how they have handled this case. also with me keith reed, sports business analyst former espn senior editor. let me begin and bring us up to date on where these allegations stand. >> reporter: well the hearing wrapped up on wednesday. it was a two day hearing where

winston, the accuser and other witnesses came and testified in front of a former florida supreme court justice. gave their take. winston gave his account through a very graphic statement. he denied any wrong doing that night when the incident occurred. and i'll read part of the statement what he said to you. he said i did not create a hostile, intimidating or offensive environment. in the short period of time that we were together, the accuser had the capacity to consent to having sex with me. and repeatedly did so by her conduct and verbal expressions. winston went on to say rape is a vicious crime. the only thing as vicious as rape is falsely accusing someone of rape. now fred, the big question is when are we going to get a resolution from this hearing. it is kind of murky. the school has ten class days to notify winston of their decision. the semester ends september 12th. and the spring semester doesn't start until january 7th.

so we are likely not going to hear a resolution until some time in january which of course means jameis winston is going remain on the field. and if the decision comes down he can appeal. so more thanlike loi he is going to be on the field for florida state for as far as they go this year. >> and how is florida state and the tallahassee community, how is this situation being handled? >> well it is a difficult situation. i happen to believe that these allegations are very very difficult for any university to handle. i think the appropriate way for this to be handled and the way it should have been handled at very beginning would have been for prosecutors and police in tallahassee to be on top of this from the very, very beginning, leaving the discipline and investigation in the hands of the university. for something like a code of conduct hearing is a very difficult thing to do for universities who really are not

set up to handle this. florida state has been accused of not only handling this improperly but really the entire community of tallahassee, along with florida state have been accused of not handling disciplinary actions or disciplinary transgressions against football players very well at all. there was an incident not long ago with students for example shoots off bee bee guns in a very public area. an incident with a florida state football player accused of steel steel stealing a scooter. all these different things. and florida state has always been kulzed of not hammeding these things very well. and i just happen to this in this particular instance a sexual assault is a very difficult thing for a campus to have to investigate. and it shouldn't be left up to a campus to be the final arbiter. >> and then jameis winston expecting to go pro next year. and one has to wonder whether this investigation, this case

off and on, how it was handled, all of that will impact, you know, his draft. if he, you know, becomes -- >> five years ago i would have told you hey, if he can play on the field it really doesn't matter what you have done on the field. but after this last year with adriidrian peterson and ray ric. jameis won the heisman. and we know he is one of the most talented quarterbacks in all of football. so he is more than likely going to get a chance. but all these issues off the field, teams are going to take that into account. and he is probably not going to be a high first round draft pick. but some team is going to take a chance. >> and particularly the post ray rice kind of era of the nfl, will this impact him?

>> yeah it will impact him. i can see him falling to the bottom of the first round. falling even maybe not the second round but definitely lower than somebody would take him. there are going to be team who is need a quarterback. the quarterback is the most important position and jameis winston is going to be one of the top three or four quarterbacks that come out of college this year. but the conduct off the field absolutely is going to have an impact on him. you can't believe that with everything that's gone on in the nfl this season, with high profile players involved in bad behavior, especially where it involves conduct against women, that is going to be very difficult and teams are going to pay attention. so i think it will impact him in the draft. >> thanks gentlemen. all right then. it is the interview you will only see on cnn. janice dickinson sharing why she is going public, accusing bill cosby of raping her decades

after the fact. >> i remember being humiliated, disgusted. i had revulsion towards cosby. and he was a very powerful man. and probably still is. here's some news you may find surprising.

we're for an open internet for all. we're for creating more innovation and competition. we're for net neutrality protection. now, here's some news you may find even more surprising. we're comcast. the only isp legally bound by full net neutrality rules. entertainer bill cosby loses

support from the u.s. navy, citing mounting allegations of sexual assault. the navy stripped cosby of his honorary promotion to chief petty officer. cosby served as a navy hospital corpsman in the 1950s. and in los angeles this week, police chief charlie beck said his department will investigate any claims against cosby, even if they exceed the statute of limitations. the cosby campus fighting a new lawsuit on those very grounds. the plaintiff, judy hew, says cosby assaulted her, when she was just 15. cosby's attorneys call it a failed attempt at extortion. among the 21 women claiming sexual assault by cosby, former supermodel and reality tv star, janice dickinson. she claims cosby raped her in 1983. too afraid to report it then, she tells me, face to face, now she is determined to share her story, even if, she says, it means feeling victimized again.

thank you, janice dickinson, for having us in your home. >> it's my pleasure, fredricka. thank you so much for being here. >> so i want to begin with what has happened in your life since you detailed the sexual assault that you allege of bill cosby. >> when i'm out in public, i used to be received from, you know, a lot of people as, hey, girl, you go, girl, i've loved you on "america's next top model," the janice dickinson show, now i'm getting a feel of contempt out of people, especially on my #janicedickinson instagram. it's not what it used to be, before all -- before i came out and did -- >> and what do you mean by that? >> it's a feeling from people that probably want to protect dr. huxtable on television. you know. >> so you feel like there's been some backlash against you? >> yes, absolutely. the backlash, i don't appreciate, because i'm talking to you and everyone else from my heart and i'm giving you my side

of the story. >> and what happened to me with cosby. >> and this is a story that you were telling several decades after the fact. is that why you didn't share your story in detail earlier, that you were afraid of the potential backlash, how bill cosby and his camp of supporters would react to your story. what has held you back all these years from telling this story in detail until now? >> i remember being humiliated, disgusted -- i had revulsion towards cosby. and cosby was a very powerful man and probably still is. you know, i trusted this man and i stuffed it. i compartmentalized it, because i was embarrassed. i was afraid for my career, you know? i was very excited when i got a telephone call, you know, when i was in rehab from cosby --

>> you were 27 years old. he was roughly about 45 years old at the time. >> i don't remember how old that monster was at the time, but i do remember i was young, i was innocent, and i was very excited to get a call that i was going to be, you know, offered this job on "the cosby show." you know? and i went for it, i trusted him. he was a married man, you know, so how could, you know -- he wouldn't do anything to me. >> so this was 1982. there was a lot going on. you're saying you were -- he reached out to you and did he say anything to you, did he promise you that you were at the time a successful model. >> very successful model, working night and day for all the most incredible designers in the world, advertisers, runway, catalogs, i was a spoke woman for a lot of very, very prominent, conservative clients

and a warning every parent needs to hear. dangerous and deadly drugs you probably never heard of, that are killing kids across the country. why these drugs are so popular. hello, everyone. i'm fredricka whitfield. let's get straight to the top story. the u.s. hostage rescue mission in yemen that did not go as planned. we're learning brand-new details about the operation. here's what we know right now. the pentagon says a team of about three dozen commandos, mostly from s.e.a.l. team 6, tried to rescue american photojournalist luke somers and south african hostage pierre corky from their captors. members of the terror group al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. officials tell cnn a firefight broke out soon after the sales came to the compound.

they lost the element of surprise at the last minute and that's when the bullets began firing. one terrorist ran inside the compound and shot the hostages. a u.s. medical team spent an entire hour on the ground trying to save somers and corky. one died on a u.s. ship, the other died on the way to the ship. what are u.s. officials saying about the timing of this rescue mission? >> reporter: this was a direct authorization by president obama himself, made here yesterday at the white house, and he explains a bit why he made such a risky move, really pinning it on that 72-hour deadline that was given to u.s. officials by the terror group and he says that in the statement this morning, he says that luke somers was in imminent danger. now, members of the administration reacting this morning, calling it murder. this morning in afghanistan, here's secretary of defense, chuck hagel. >> our prayers and thoughts go out to the somers family.

there was also another hostage who was also killed in that attempted rescue and our prayers and thoughts go out to all the families involved. i do think, though, that this is further evidence of america's continued commitment to always find its american hostages, no matter where they are, and make every effort to get those hostages returned. >> and the president this morning also reacted, saying in a statement, quote, the united states strongly condemned the barbaric murder of luke somers at the hands of al qaeda terrorists, during a rescue operation conducted by u.s. forces in yemen, in partnership with the yemeni government. on behalf of the american people, i offer my deepest condolences to luke's family and to his loved ones.

and it's clear in this statement this morning, fred, that president obama is clearly feeling the weight of that responsibility. he made the call yesterday and today in a statement, he reiterated that it's his highest responsibility to protect american citizens. fred? >> all right. thanks so much, at the white house. i want to talk about the risks of these hostage rescue raids and what's involved in these military operations to this magnitude. cnn chief national security correspondent jim sciutto is in afghanistan with the defense secretary, chuck hagel. and lieutenant james reece joining me now from raleigh, north carolina. jim, the secretary, secretary hagel, is saying that there is no other resource but to take measures like this when an american life, you know, is in jeopardy. is this an issue of the timing? there was no better time in which for american commandos to do this? >> this is a risky mission, no matter how you slice it.

and jim reece, his former delta force commander, will know it well. and speaking to military officials, including defense secretary hagel, you get a sense of just how close this was to being a successful operation. they got new, reliable intelligence in the last 24 to 48 hours, which helped them pinpoint the location of luke somers. that's one reason that they went now. the second reason is that they had reason to believe that his life was in imminent danger. and that's because his captors had said that they were going to kill him within 72 hours, if their demands weren't met. and that time was up on saturday, today. but when you hear more details about the operation, that when they were approaching, is that something alerted the captors on the ground, something, they say, which could have been as simple as a dog barking at the approaching osprey aircraft, the v-22 aircraft. that gave a warning, which they believe then sent one of the attackers inside one of the

buildings to shoot the hostages, as they were approaching. they made every effort they could to save them. life-saving efforts on the ground, life-saving efforts in the helicopters on the way away can from the attack site, but they lost both the hostages. so, so close, but, listen, these operations are always extremely risky. the captors have all the cards and once they had lost that element of surprise, that appears to have doomed the operation. >> and colonel reece, there really is no turning back once you lose that element of surprise, right? they have to continue forward or make adjustments along the way. but help underscore the risks involved that jim was talking about. >> yeah, fred, jim is spot-on. there's three elements of a hostage rescue that are critical. and that's surprise, speed, and balance of action. and if you lose that surprise, then the other -- the operation can still be successful, but the other two elements literally

have to get ramped up, as soon as that surprise is lost, the operators have to move immediately and try to close with and find the hostages, because their job is to get to the hostages, protect them, even take a bullet for the hostage if need be. so, it's tragic, especially to come that far, and i've got to attest that you're on fourth and goal at the one, and you punch it in, and you get called back on a penalty. so it's tough. >> and then, jim, there's no guarantee that every mission will be a successful one, but that is always, of course, the hope. what kind of a defeat is this for the commandos, for this military operation, when the outcome is the way it is? >> i wouldn't call it a defeat. i think it's demoralizing, certainly, because they were so close. secretary hagel said, on the positive side, if you could find a positive side here, which is difficult, that this shows the

distance to which the u.s. will go to protect its citizens. whether soldiers or civilians or journalists. like this one was. and, in fact, another foreign national there as well, a south african. so that it shows the distance and the risk and the resources that the u.s. will commit to this. but, listen, and again, jim reece will speak will to this, having been on a number of these operations himself, i know and having spoken to soldiers and sailors who have taken part in these operations, they, you know, they want to come home with that target safe. and to not come home with the target safe, it's got to be getting to them now. but certainly not through any fault of their own. but it's tough. and we heard that disappointment in scare hagel's voice as well. >> this is not what they wanted. and colonel, what can be learned? how will they re-examine this mission so as to shape the next

potential mission? >> well, fred, i guarantee you right now, those operators, that commandment staff, that battle staff that just ran that, they are going through every step of what they conducted. they will look at everything. and they're really looking to see where the surprise was lost and they'll go back and try it again. this is a battle drill for these operators. they'll do it all the time. so they'll just want to take a look at the entrance fee to see what it is, and they'll keep tweaking that until they get it better. >> colonel james reece, thank you so much. jim sciutto traveling with the defense secretary, chuck hagel. thanks so much to both of you, gentleman. appreciate it. all right, back in the states now, demonstrators filling the streets from coast to coast, bringing parts of several major cities to a standstill. and now eric garner's family is preparing to honor him with a nationwide event. details on that, straight ahead. dangerous and deadly drugs you've probably never heard of that are killing kids across the country. why these drugs are so popular.

this is what democracy looks like. that was just one of the rallying cries as thousands of protesters poured into the streets across the u.s. last night, expressing outrage over the grand jury's decision not to indict the officer who put eric garner in a choke hold in st statten island, new york. they staged sit-ins and die-ins and in some cities created traffic backups that stretched for miles. in at least a dozen cities coast to coast, demonstrators railed against excessive police force and what they see as the uneven levels of justice. in new york city, hundreds of demonstrators took their protests beyond the streets. they poured into macy's in harold's square and another wildly popular shopper's destination, the apple store on fifth avenue. and they were there to stage die-ins. demonstrations that ended up being very brief, but peaceful.

christi christina aalessy is in new yor. the police and store managers tho had to work together to maintain what turned out to be peaceful demonstrations. >> the stores didn't have that much of a reaction, because as you said, the protesters really didn't stick around for a long time. and that is a strategy for not getting arrested, right? as long as you keep moving, the cops generally won't give you a problem if you're orderly and last night, the cops were prepared, the police department, nypd, was prepared, in fact, they prevented the protest crowds from becoming too large. and when police detention vehicles showed up, the protesters seemed to disperse. very different night last night. it was cold and rainy here in new york. so there weren't as many people on the streets. in fact, there were only 20 arrests compared to the night earlier, thursday night. when 219 people were arrested.

protests here in new york were peaceful and very organized. just after three days of protests, the protesters are distributing a list of demands, one of which is the firing of all of the officers involved in the eric garner takedown. also, they want the new york attorney general to launch an investigation into police misconduct, excessive force, and of course, they also want the state to outlaw the choke hold. it is banned under new york pd policy, but it is not officially illegal. so those are just some of the demands, there are others, of course, but those are the most powerful ones. >> all right, cristina in new york, thank you so much. the choke hold is a questionable technique, but did the eric garner situation have to escalate to a choke hold and ultimately a man's death. cnn analyst tom fuentes joining me along with roger fairfax, a

former prosecutor who is now a law professor at george washington university. good to see both of you, gentleman. >> thanks for having me. >> all right. so the nypd officers will now apparently have a three-day retraining period on the proper use of force when engaging a suspect and that includes the de-escalation technique. so, tom, you first. how might that make a difference? >> well, fred, in the first place on that topic, you know, police officers on the street, having been one for six years before i became an fbi agent, are probably the greatest psychologists in the land when it comes to dealing with people and attempting to try to de-escalate things, attempting to try to persuade. but the problem is that at the end of the day, when you're trying to make an arrest, in many situations, no amount of debate, persuasion, telling the person what the constitutional law allows or any of that, at a certain point, might not make any difference. and if you tell someone they're under arrest, if they continue

to not comply, at some point, force will be used. >> well, but that seems like the defense of using force as opposed to if there's new training, on how to de-escalate. what is entailed in that kind of retraining? does it mean, either removing the point of view that force is an option, that there are other ways to de-escalate a situation? >> well, i agree with tom that, you know, police officers are -- have a very difficult job, and the vast majority of police officers are professional, dedicated public servants, who put their lives on the line every day. however, they are also charged, as tom mentioned, as being street psychologists and because they are endowed with the ability and the authority to use force, and sometimes deadly force, against the rest of us, to enforce the laws, i think training and methods of

diffusing situations, to obviate the need to use that force, are certainly in order. and this case, i think, provides are great example of that. >> what i'm hearing from you, then, is, if it's teach organize training on technique versus a mind-set, as well. >> well, i think both are important. but as situations escalate and, you know, once an officer decides that he or she needs to use force to effect an arrest, i think there are other decision points down the line. as we see in the tragic case of mr. garner, once the officer has decided to use the force that they used, it ultimately led to his incapacitation and severe medical distress. and so i think the training needs to go further to deal with the aftermath of the use of force in situations like this. >> so, tom, this sounds like

this is going to be a gargantuan undertaking, because you hear from a number of police officers, following mayor de blasio's press conference, and it doesn't appear as though there is a feeling among many in the nypd who feel like they need to be retaught, or they need to be taught about de-escalating a situation in some other manner, because they're trying to preserve their own lives, just as they are also committed to protecting the lives of the community. is there a real difficulty, tom, in trying to strike a balance between whose life is more important to protect and serve? >> i think in this case, fred, it's not a question of whose life is more important, it's a question that, at a certain point, a decision was made to make the arrest. and when a person doesn't comply with being told they're under arrest, bad things are going to happen. the officers had no way to know that he had asthma, diabetes,

heart problems, all of the rest of it, that did contribute -- and i'm not excusing the choke hold, but i think it was more of an accident than a deliberate, you know, trying to kill him or choke him out -- >> but there was ant response to the several times saying, "i can't breathe," and that's what people -- >> well, they were, you know, at that point, the officer's arm was no longer around his neck at that point. and having made many of these type of arrests, people will say, oh, you're hearti ihurting you're bending my wrist, i can't breathe -- you know, officers are used to hearing that. what they don't know is in this case is he has a medical condition thattic imakes it tr. that he was under medical duress and they didn't know that. i've said before on the air that we expect officers to be harvard debaters, spend 10, 15, 20 minutes with a subject, convincing him of the constitutional legalities of why they can make an arrest and how it should happen and why the person should comply. and i've said, we expect

officers to be olympic wrestlers and what you see, and what i so see is that there was really none of the officers that knew any amount of wrestling moves or jujitsu moves that could have safely taken him to the ground and allowed them to put the flex cuffs on. so what you see is officer pantaleo throw a horse collar tackle on him, which is outlawed, even in the national football league, and then that's when it goes bad. he has an arm around his neck. and the problem is, they don't have the ability or the knowledge, let's say, to -- >> well, it sounds like that's under -- you even said, it's outlawed, so that is probably justifying the whole retraining -- >> the takedown, fred, the takedown idea. so he's trying to put his arms around his head and neck to bring him to the ground so they can put the handcuffs on him. so not having the right kind of leverage and moves that we were

taught in the academy, bar hammer lack to take the wrist and twist it a certain way. >> roger, is that part of the retraining? >> i think so. and fred, when you look at other professions, lawyers, doctors, dentists, teachers, they all have continuing education requirements. so, it shouldn't be strange or bizarre that we would push for that in this area, when it can be a matter of life or death. >> roger fairfax, tom fuentes, thanks to both of you, gentleman. appreciate it. >> thank you. they are dangerous and deadly drugs, you may not have ever heard of them, but they are killing kids across the country. up next, we'll visit one north dakota town where kids are overdosing and even dying because of these drugs. you can't breathe through your nose, suddenly, you're a mouth breather. a mouth breather! well, put on a breathe right strip and shut your mouth. cold medicines open your nose over time, but add a breathe right strip and pow, it opens your nose up to 38% more. so you can breathe and do the one thing you want to do,

sleep. add breathe right to your cold medicine shut your mouth and sleep right. breathe right. and look for the calming scent of new breathe right lavender, in the sleep aisle. not to be focusing, again, on my moderate my goal was to finally get in shape. to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. so i finally made a decision to talk to my dermatologist about humira. humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. in clinical trials, most adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis saw 75% skin

clearance on humira. and the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. set a new goal today. ask your dermatologist about humira. because with humira clearer skin is possible.

chemically produced drugs sold as legal alternatives to cocaine, marijuana, and meth are showing up in the streets, all across the u.s. and they're overtaking one north dakota city. here's cnn's drew griffin. >> in the week of june 10th, 2012, law enforcement in grand forks were dealing with an outbreak of violent overdoses. a mysterious drug on the streets had already killed two teenagers. >> we've got multiple overdoses, we've got two young men who have lost their lives. what's more serious than that?

>> reporter: tim purden is the u.s. attorney for north dakota. >> that was unprecedented. i've been u.s. attorney now going on four years. this is the only time we've reached out to a school system, to the university and said, hey, there's this danger on the streets right now that people need to be aware about. >> reporter: as the emergency warnings were being issued, investigators were definitely trying to find out what this drug was. more importantly, where it came from. >> it took lab analysis to determine the true nature of these substances. when we learned what they were, tcinboe, that was new to us. >> reporter: they are synthetic designer drugs. chemicals designs to imitate the high of the banned drug, lsd. these drugs are so potent, a dose the size of a few grains of salt is enough to get high. north dakota's top federal drug prosecutor had never heard of

them and neither had christian gerks' parents. >> i had to go to the internet and look up information on it. and i really didn't understand the whole synthetic drug. i didn't know what it was. didn't know how dangerous they were. >> the message we got after we went on the internet was that somebody had said it was okay for these drugs to be on the street and they had been tweaked. but that's all we knew. >> synthetic lsd has been blamed for at least -- >> reporter: parents across the country are now learning the painful truth about synthetic designer drugs. >> investigators say he overdosed on a synthetic marijuana. >> otherwise known as k-2. >> reporter: with deaths and overdoses reported almost daily. >> all right. drew griffin with me now in the newsroom. so these synthetic drugs, is it ability availability? why is it so accessible? >> i think it's so accessible for two reasons.

one, it comes in nice little packages through the mail. so most of these kids think there is some kind of cleanliness and legalness to it, because it's distributed in this way. the other thing is, it's easy to get. all you need is a credit card. you're not meeting a street dealer down on the corner. you're just ordering it online. >> how is it so accessible? >> because, it is all internet-based. not drug cartels, we're not talking about gangs, we're talking about chemical companies, mostly in china, who are shipping this to distributors in the united states, who are putting it on websites and you can just click what you want. it comes in any size you want. >> and why is there no policing of this? >> the police are trying to catch up constantly. there's so much of it out there, it's labor intensive kind of cases. it mostly happens, like in this, when you have deaths or some kind of a serious illness, then the cops have to backtrack. and what you'll see in this special is how long it took before the police even knew what they were dealing. what was this drug?

take it to a lab, analyze it, then find out where it came from. then backtrack all the way through the internet, multiple jurisdictions. the cases are hard to crack. there are plenty of people who are trying to evade the law. it's just like every other drug we have. there's money to be made and people willing to figure out a way to do it. >> and if you're a user, is the synthetic drug more appealing because of its potency, or is that kind of overthinking about it? >> i think there is overthinking. it's the easy of use and the ease of attainment. people are not thinking, oh, this is going to be better than lsd, they really don't even know -- >> or that it's potentially more dangerous, not even thinking about those things. >> not even thinking. and many of the kids get in trouble because they have no idea what the potency is. they just think it's something new, came in the mail, let's give it a shot. >> all right. drew griffin, thanks so much. of course, it's very frightening says well, especially for young kids. tonight, drew griffin has more on the dangers of synthetic drugs. don't miss the cnn special

report, "deadly high: how synthetic drugs are killing kids." that's tonight, 7:00 eastern time. all right, what will the feds do to rein in cops who go rogue? our legal guys weigh in, next. r, and you're talking to your rheumatologist about a biologic... this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain and protect my joints from further damage. this is humira giving me new perspective. doctors have been prescribing humira for ten years. humira works for many adults. it targets and helps to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb,

football has a season. baseball has a season. this is our season. there are new demands for a federal investigation into the death of eric garner. and this as the department of justice already conducts its own investigation into the shooting death of michael brown. and this same week, the doj released a report saying excessive force was prominent and went unpunished in the cleveland police department. let's bring this our legal guys, avery friedman is civil rights attorney and professor in cleveland. good to see you. and richard herman, a new york criminal defense attorney and law professor, joining us from las vegas. good to see you as well. so, avery, you first. a lot happening in your backyard. you and a group of lawyers, in fact, meeting thursday with the attorney general and justice officials to talk about the justice department's probe and

its report about the cleveland police department, which comes right on the heels of 12-year-old tamir rice by a police officer. so what did the report say and what impact may it have on these other cases, federal investigations including ferguson? >> yeah, it's 158 pages, fredricka. and it is riveting and devastating. it demonstrates how poorly police have been supervised, the inadequacy of training, the failure of community policing, a multitude of issues. but if there's any good news about that report by the department of justice, and it's going to impact ferguson, it's going to impact new york city and other major departments, and that is that ultimately, there's going to be a contempt order. and it will identify the positive things that police officers can do to avoid the kind of things we see week after week, month after month. so while, yes, it hurts, it's

important that justices jumped in over a 20-year-old law. it's also going to have a positive effect on other major police departments. >> so richard, you're shaking your head. it is -- are you in agreement or disagreement that there's a possibility it's a universal problem for police departments to investigate themselves? >> it is difficult, fred. and anytime you ask a prosecutor to prosecute police officers, who they stand side by side, each week in court, and they are their voices in bringing prosecutions, this is very difficult. what are you going to do? hire a special prosecutor? engage a special prosecutor every time a police officer gets challenged? i don't think you can do. >> why not? i disagree with avery. >> because we're not equipped to do that, fred. the system just does not work that way. and number two, we -- i disagree with avery. we do not see this week-in and

week-out, throughout the united states. we do not see it. >> what? >> and while this report looks great and it's going to be nice and fluff, and everyone is going to say, yes, yes, yes, the bottom line is this. and the garner situation in new york is highlighted. that situation will escalate that same way, each and every time, fred. because when they go to arrest someone. and if you don't like the laws, go to the legislature and change the laws. once we hire police officers to enforce them and they say, you're under arrest, and you say, no, don't touch me, get away from me, it's going to be a problem for you. >> okay. >> and these officers -- >> but that's not the issue. >> avery, i hope you're taking notes, because you're shaking your head to just about everything that richard said. >> well, think about this. think about this. it's not that complicated if you have proper supervision and you -- what on earth do you generally permit choke holds to occur? what on earth are you sendi ini

police officers into the community without body cams? what on earth are you having police officer involved in the streets without appropriate training? and i think who oversees it? a federal district judge will do it in cleveland or ultimately, unless things change, other federal courts are going to have to oversee police departments. and that shouldn't have to happen. >> all right. avery, richard, we're going to have to leave it there. thanks so much to both of you. >> so much to talk about, fred. >> we have so much more. >> i know -- >> can present a whole host of problems, fred. a whole host of problems with the body cams. >> and solutions! >> maybe we can get into that next week. >> you know that problem is not resolved, so i'm sure we're going to have time to revisit that. richard, avery, thanks so much. good to see you, guys. appreciate it. next, a rare exclusive look at civilians under siege from isis. what it's like to live in the rubble of the war-torn city of kobani, syria.

isis militants for control of the syrian city, kobani, has dragged on for months now. the city on the turkish border has been reduced to little more than rubble. with such destruction, owe might think it would be a ghost town. well, you'd be wrong. there are civilians there. and our nick paton walsh shows us what it's like for them in this exclusive report.

>> kobani feels haunted by those who are still alive in it. inhumane enough, that the noise of coalition war planes above is a strange comfort. the destruction so near complete, the fight is more now for victory alone, not for its spoils. here, they've even given up on hospitals. this, the last one, flattened by a car bomb. the wounded, now taken straight to the border. from the ground level inside the city, you can see what months of fighting has done. absolutely devastation. it's almost impossible to imagine this city sustaining life at any time in the near future. but still, the fighting persists. the shelling, almost constant. so much of it caused by crude homemade devices like this. there are civilians here. those who refuse or cannot flee. and children, besieged. who cannot be protected from indiscriminate constant

you know, i'm a -- it's humility, you know? and when i found out -- when this first came out, you know, just recently, it was my right as a woman, and having been raped by him to tell my side of the story, the truth. >> and now, how much are you thinking about camille cosby? what you thinking as she sits next to her husband during an ap, associated press, interview, and he is asked about these allegations, while they are promoting an art exhibit in washington, d.c. we haven't heard from camille cosby. >> i don't think you will. but i would hope that she would come -- i would hope that camille cosby would come up -- when you ask me how do i feel seeing that, i feel bad for her. she knew that he was promiscuous. she knew that, but she stayed

married to him. this is her choice. i can't speak for her. i can only say to miss cosby that i am sorry i had sex with your husband and he had raped me. i'm sorry that he raped me -- i'm going to say to camille, i'm sorry, that you know, your husband raped me. i'm sorry your husband promised me, you know, and i'm sorry for you that your husband gave me wine and pills, to, you know, for the sole intent on having sex with me and raping me. and fly -- i'm sorry sorry that her husband is a philander and a rapist. i'm sorry for her, i really mean that, and his children. i'm sorry, for that! but i'm not sorry for what happened to me. maybe camille cosby can say something to me about how i feel about what her husband did to me. >> did you ever have sexual relations with him? because you used the word "sex," but you also used the word "rape." >> rape is the rape. this is the rape.

this is what happened to me. i don't know. i'm really upset. you got me all fired up. >> what's next in this? >> i don't know. i know that -- i pray that he responds in an honest way. i would pray that jell-o monster, pudding guy would apologize to me and acknowledge the fact that i am telling the truth. i want to say to my haters, specifically, what if it happened to you, your sister, your daughter, or your, your own mama? what if bill cosby had done that to them? how would you feel then, rather than hating me? that's how i really feel. and thank you. >> thank you, janice addidickin thank you. >> there's actually more from

janice dickinson, straight ahead. i ask her whether it's fair that cosby's co-stars take a hit with their shows taken off the air. >> this man is not a family man, that he played on tv. he's a rapist! he's a rapist! and i would hope that the other actors would get behind me on this. look, you wouldn't want this happening to you, your sister, your aunt, or your mama. >> more face to face with janice dickinson. but first -- >> shut it down! shut it down! >> protests are growing over deadly police incidents. former and new york city police commissioner, bernard kerik, weighs in, next.

operation. how the attempt to free the man from his captors ended in bloodshed. plus, "rolling stone" magazine apologizes for their bombshell article about alleged rapes at the university of virginia. we'll hear from the fraternity at the center of the article. and a massive typhoon lashes the philippines. we're talking to a storm chaser who was watching the disaster unfold. hello, again. i'm fredricka whitfield. we begin with brand-new information we're learning this hour about the u.s. special ops rescue mission in yemen that ended with the tragic deaths of two hostages, including american photojournalist, luke somers. our chief national security correspondent jim sciutto joins us now on the phone from kabul, afghanistan. jim, what are you learning?

>> reporter: well, fred, the more we learn details, you see just how narrowly this operation failed. first of all, we're learning that the u.s. special operation forces who took part in this, these were navy sales, hiked six miles, ten kilometers, from the drop zone, they were taken there by v-22 ospreys and it was only in the last 100 yards that they were discovered by the captors. and it is then, that they believe, that the captors shot the two hostages, luke somers, and the south african, peter korkie, and an aide worker. but even then, they applied immediate medical attention to both of the wounded hostages. and then they evacuated them immediately. and one of them died, apparently, while being evacuated, on board a v-22 os pri, which had a surgeon on board. the other one died on the ship, that was just off the coast there. so, you get a sense from those details of just how narrow a

failure this was. only after a six-mile hike, only discovered in the last hundred meters, and then shot only in those moments when those u.s. special forces arrived, and then even with the application of immediate medical care, dying as they were being evacuated. it really just gets to some of the disappointment that you could hear when defense secretary chuck hagel was announcing some of these details earlier, as we've traveled with him here to kabul and afghanistan. listen to how he described his feelings and that of his team today. >> our prayers and thoughts go out to the somers' family. there was also another hostage who was also killed in that attempted rescue. and our prayers and thoughts go out to all the families involved. i do think, though, that this is

further evidence of america's continued commitment to always find its american hostages, no matter where they are, and make every effort to get those hostages returned. >> reporter: keep in mind, fred, that this was the second operation attempted to save luke somers in yemen from his aqap captors just this week. another operation on monday, that failed when they got to the site, they found that somers had been moved from that cite a short time before. these are risky operations. they involve the most elite special forces, in this case navy s.e.a.l.s. resources, danger, risk, et cetera. you don't do them lightly. the president doesn't order them lightly, yet twice in one week, he ordered these risky operations, and unfortunately, this one, after coming so close, of course, didn't come with the

result that they'd wanted, with the sad loss of two lives. >> and so, jim, there was a feeling that this was the best opportunity, and that's why that attempt was made at this point? >> yes, yes. one, that they had new intelligence in the last 24 to 48 hours that gave them a pinpoint as to where their location was, which turned out to be correct. two, there was urgency, because they believed that today, saturday, was the day that luke somers was going to be killed. earlier in the week, his captors had released a video, saying he'd be killed within 72 hours, if their demands were not met. we don't know what those demands were, but we believe that today was the day they were going to act on that threat. and they felt they had to act now, to have a chance of saving him. >> all right. jim sciutto, thanks so much from kabul, traveling with the defense secretary hagel. president barack obama, meantime, explained his reasons for ordering the rescue attempt in a fairly lengthy statement released this morning.

cnn sunland is live at the white house. >> reporter: very strong words today by president obama. he says in a statement, quote, the united states strongly condemned the barbaric murder of luke somers at the hands of kate terrorists during a rescue operation, conducted by u.s. forces in yemen, in partnership with the yemeni government. on behalf of the american people, i offer my deepest condolences to luke's family and to his loved ones. and keep in mind, this mission was a direct authorization by president obama himself, mid-morning on friday. he then watched the raid, which started at 5:00 p.m. eastern time. he watched it come down in realtime here at the white house. and i think part of his statement today, fred, really was an indication that he is really feeling a heavy weight of the direction that this mission took, and in the end, this president really pushed back on any criticism. he said he used every tool at their disposal to bring luke somers home. fred? >> and sundland, what is this

about the second hostage, the south african, who was scheduled to be released on sunday. was there any real believability in that? >> a u.s. state department official says that they did not have any intel, that thiey did not know this was a south african, just that there were two individuals in that compound. we have heard on a facebook posting, that they were finalizing agreements for the south african's release on sunday. but the state department says they have no knowledge of any negotiations or any agreements that were taking place bnt the scenes. >> sunlen serfaty, thanks so much. for a third night, this was the sound of protests across america. >> i can't breathe! i can't breathe! >> from florida to california, thousands of demonstrators again took to the streets, angry over the grand jury's decision not to indict the officer who put eric garner in a choke hold in staten

island. boston was the site of one of the largest protests. about a thousands people poured into downtown streets there. and demonstrators blocked intersections and bridges in some cases, creating traffic snarls, like this one in miami. and that one stretched for miles. in new york city, demonstrations took a different twist. hundreds of protesters poured into two of manhattan's most popular retail stores. macy's in harold's square and the apple store on fifth avenue to stage die-ins. those were brief and peace skpfl no arrests were made. let's bring in nick valencia, who is in staten island right now. nick, what, if anything, is happening right now in staten island. >> it's a stark contrast to what you're talking about. in the days leading up to today, we've seen hundreds of people out on the streets of new york, shutting down thoroughfares. today here in staten island, the scene where eric garner took his last breath.

this memorial has been put up for him. not many demonstrators out. it's cold, wet, and rainy out here. but we are standing by for a 1:30 p.m. eastern time replaying ceremony and reverend al sharpton is supposed to be on hand. i want to bring in somebody who knew eric garner. he's been demonstrating the last couple of days. kevin, tell me about how things have gone so far in terms of the demonstrations here in new york. >> well, everything has been peaceful. not only in new york, but all across the country. and i really feel it's the spirit of god moving upon the masses to make a change. this horrific injustice that we have suffered for so many years, i think there's going to be a change coming. and on saturday, in washington, d.c., there's going to a major march led by the national action network and we are calling for police reform. we must have it. too many young men have died and there has been no accountability and the time for change is now.

>> thank you very much, kevin. i appreciate it. he says he's had a lot of interactions with eric garner, paints him as a nice man with nice character. so many of the people we've spoken to here say the exact same. we're standing by, in about 20 minutes, we'll have a reflaring ceremony with the national action network. and kevin says they expect police reform and accountability. that's whoo these demonstrators are asking for, fred. >> nick valencia, thank you so much, in staten island, the very place where eric garner died. protests are growing over deadly police incidents. what is law enforcement doing about excessive force? we'll ask new york's former police commissioner, bernard kerik, next. ring ring! ...progresso! you soup people have my kids loving vegetables. well vegetables... shh! taste better in our savory broth.

vegetables!? no...soup! oh! soup! loaded with vegetables. packed with taste. not to be focusing, again, on my moderate my goal was to finally get in shape. to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. so i finally made a decision to talk to my dermatologist about humira. humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. in clinical trials, most adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis saw 75% skin clearance on humira. and the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure.

before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. set a new goal today. ask your dermatologist about humira. because with humira clearer skin is possible.

the nypd launching it pilot body camera program yesterday. this while officers undergo retraining, following the choke hold death of eric garner. bernard kerik is the former new york commissioner, joining me

now. good to see you. >> hi. >> first off, is it possible for police to investigate and retrain and overhaul itself? >> yeah, fredricka, i think it is. i mean, these types of circumstances have happened for decades and they will continue to happen every once in a while. and police will go back and look at what happened, why it happened, how it happened. see if there's anything they can do to fix it and be better in the future. and i think that's what will come out of this. they'll be looking at their use of force continuum. everything from their verbal confrontation of a suspect or of someone in the street, right up until the use of deadly force. and i think that's what's going on right now. they've put together a three-day program and a part of that three-day process will be looking at the choke hold, restraining holds, takedowns,

you know, head locks, if you will. i'm sure that will be a big part of what they're doing. >> so it's retraining as it pertains to technique, what's permissible, what's not. you talk about the outlawed choke hold. and isn't it also about a mind-set? isn't it also about helping to train some of these police officers to not automatically have suspicions, just by virtue of what they see in someone? >> honestly, fredricka, it's that and more. you know, the way they deal with the public on a daily basis. you know, a lot of times, and i remember, when i was police commissioner, i wrote an article about this many years ago. arrogance can be considered racism, depending on who you're talking to. you have to treat people with respect. you have to treat people with dignity. regardless of who they are, you know, and especially in those initial moments. you want to make sure that people don't take -- don't have

the wrong impression of who you are, what you're doing, and why you're doing it. and it makes a big, big difference in those initial moments, how you approach someone, whether you're going to have an easy go or not. >> and how was your -- how your point of view on this? how was it altered or impacted just by your experience, formerly as the top cop, then spending time in jail and interacting with a number of people, where you saw the disproportionate number of people who were jailed or black men, and getting to know, talking to them, and understanding and hearing their perspective in a different way, versus when you were the top cop? >> fredricka, the one thing that i think we are missing the boat on here, you know, everybody's focused on the race of what happened. you know what? if you really want to have an impact on the african-american community, the federal government, and state

governments around this country have to look at criminal justice reform. they've got to look at the mandatory minimums. they have to look at the sentencing guidelines. they have to look at the disparities in the drug laws, that have an enormous negative impact on the african-american community. that is a far, far bigger issue than what we've been dealing with over the last couple of days. so, i urge the president, in those civil rights leaders, that say they really care, you want to do something, that's what you need to focus on. >> well, did you also hear, you know, from these young men, men that you interacted with in jail, about the disparity of the contact, the contact that they would have, with police, in their community, versus the contact that other people, non-black people, would have, with police, in their communities, and how that might, too, be a starting point? >> i heard some of that. you know, you have to keep in mind, that especially in the drug community, you know, those involved in the drug trade, they

anticipate they're going to have interaction with the police. they anticipate they're going to have problems with the police. unfortunately, you know, it happens. but i think, we have to look at the laws. i think -- i am a big proponent now, as you know, of criminal justice reform in this country. and i think that's a boat we are really missing. we're not focusing on. and i think the legislators, you know, you want to help the african-american community and this country as a whole? that's what you need to be looking at. >> and before that potential reform, what about the body cameras? this pilot program with nypd. do you think it will make a difference? are you a proponent of that? >> i think it will make a difference. i was one of the first ones to put cameras in cars in the city, in the highway cars. and it made a difference. and it vindicated officers, immediately vindicated officers that were accused of wrongdoing. i think it will make a difference. we're going to see the pilot projects here in new york city,

in newark, patterson, camden, new jersey, and i think good will come out of it. >> bernie kerik, good to see you. thanks so much. >> thank you. all right, she is the student who claimed that she was raped at a frathouse at uva. and now the magazine that published her story says their trust in her was misplaced. the latest on the fallout from the "rolling stone" apology, next. begins with the cloud. this is "titanfall," the first multi-player game built and run on microsoft azure. empowering gamers around the world to interact in ways they never thought possible. this cloud turns data into excitement. this is the microsoft cloud. twhat do i do?. you need to catch the 4:10 huh? the equipment tracking system

all right. "rolling stone" is now apologizing for an impactful article that it published about the alleged gang rape of a uva student. the magazine's managing editor says they may have been misled by the accuser. sarah ghanem has more. >> not one more! >> reporter: after an article that prompted outrage at the university of virginia, "rolling stone" magazine has apologized for discrepancies about an alleged gang rape on the charlottesville campus. "rolling stone" editors say they made the choice not to contact key figures in the alleged attack on jackie, the woman who was the subject of the article for fear of retaliation against her. the magazine said, in the face of new information, there now appeared to be discrepancies in jackie's account, and we have come to the conclusion that our trust in her was misplaced. the article also chronicled the school's failure to respond to

that alleged assault, which in turn prompted a uva suspension of all fraternity activities until january, and a zero tolerance policy towards sexual assault cases. >> we must find where it hides out and root it out. >> reporter: according to the magazine, jackie claimed she was raped by seven men during a party at a fraternity house. however, the fraternity says there was no party the night of the alleged attack in september of 2012 and the chapter's lawyer says he has the records to prove it. he also discredits other parts of the story. in the meantime, jackie's friends and supporters are left confused. they still believe jackie experienced a trauma, but the new contradictory information has left them questioning what really might have happened to jackie. "the washington post" talked to jackie, who stands by her story. she told "the post," "i never asked for this. what bothers me is that so many

people act like it didn't happen." despite the latest developments in the story, students still turned out at a campus vigil last night, determined to keep the focus on combatting sexual assault against women. >> it's terrible that they are going against her now, and placing the -- and placing the irresponsibility upon her, as someone who's guilty or someone who's untrustworthy, because i feel like they should have known from the beginning, publishing that story, that it was something they could never have known exactly what's happened. and that's not the issue here. the issue is wider problem of sexual assault on campuses. >> that's sarah ghanem reporting. just a short time ago, the fraternity released a statement to cnn. a spokeswoman said no member was contacted by "rolling stone" fact checkers. she said the chapter will continue working closely with investigators. and we are now just hours away from the acc football championship and all eyes will be on fsu quarterback, jameis winston. but his focus this week has been

jameis winston is the reining heisman trophy winner. and tonight he's leading his florida team in the acc championship game, but he's also in the spotlight for an

accusation that he sexually assaulted a woman two years ago. florida state university and authorities in tallahassee have been criticized heavily for how they have handled this case. cnn's andy scholes is live for us at the acc championship in charlotte, north carolina. also with me, matt baker, a sports reporter with the "tampa bay times." good to see both of you guys. andy, let's begin with you. bring us up to date on this conduct case involving winston. >> reporter: well, the hearing wrapped up on wednesday. it was a two-day hearing, where winston, his accuser, and other witnesses were called to testify before former florida -- supreme court justice major harding. winston gave his account of what he said happened the night of the alleged assault, in a statement. it was a very graphic statement. i'll read part of it to you right now. he said, i did not create a hostile, intimidating, or offensive environment. in the short period of time that we were together. the accuser had the capacity to consent to having sex with me and she repeatedly did so by her

conduct and her verbal expressions. he went on to say, rape is a vicious crime. the on thing as vicious as rape is falsely accusing someone of rape. now, fred, when we get a resolution to this hearing, it's still unknown, the accuser's attorney, john cloon, said he did hope to hear from the former florida supreme court justice in about two to three weeks. we hope to have it by then. even if they do end up expelling him from the university, he can appeal, which means he would get to remain on the field for the rest of florida state's season. >> and then, matt, you cover florida state and have spent a lot of time in tallahassee. what has been the reaction of fsu fans to jameis winston and the accusations that have been launched against him. overall, what's been happening in that town? >> it's really ebb and floed in the 13 months since this first became public. i can tell you as a guy who was the first one to look into it, i got about 20 prank calls, because my name was on the first open records request. since then, it kind of died down

a little bit. and then, the tide started to turn a little bit in the spring, when he admitted to stealing crab legs from publix. at that time, some people started saying, well, what about his judgment. and again, before the clemson game, when he made some inappropriate remarks at the student union there, again, there were some more -- people chime in, like, is he ever going to work. but in the last couple of weeks, with everything that's gone here with football as well, fsu is still undefeated and fell down to four in the playoff rankings and potentially in jeopardy of not being in the final four, the fsu fans have circled the wagons here, lately. >> and again with his character, his judgment all kind of on the line or in question, andy, how might this impact his aspirations the to go pro? >> well, you know, fred, five or six years ago, if you could play football and you were great in college, you were going to get your shot in the nfl and be a high draft pick. what we've seen happen with ray

rice, adrian peterson, teams will really start looking into players that have off the field issues, red flags coming into the draft. that being said, james wis wins, he's won a heisman trophy, so he'll get a shot until nfl. >> i think it's an issue, certainly a concern, especially like you said, regarding ray rice, but he's 25-0 as a starter. all that matters in the nfl is whether he can win. and you can't discount 25-0 heading into the game tonight. >> all right. matt baker, andy scholes, thanks to both of you gentleman, appreciate it, there from charlotte. all right, hundreds of thousands of people are fleeing to higher ground as a typhoon slams into the philippines. winds are not the only danger. a live update, next. eeeeeeeeee financial noise financial noise

the cosby camp is fighting a new lawsuit, by the way, on those very grounds. the plaintiff, judy huth, apparently alleges that he assaulted her when she was just 15. cosby's attorneys call it a failed attempt at extortion. with mounting accusations of sexual assault by tv mogul, bill cosby, the u.s. navy, university, and television products have distanced themselves from cosby within the last month. and this week, i talked fais to face, with his most famous accuser, former supermodel, janice dickinson. we talked about the price cosby is paying and what she believes should happen next. >> that his shows, some of his shows have been taken off the air. >> quite right. >> there are other people, i guess, on the staff, who would no longer receive residuals as a result of that. >> that's too bad. i'm sorry to the other actors.

in the philippines, you're looking at the result of that

typhoon taking a big hit to the island there, making landfall shortly before 9:00 this morning eastern time. but it's not finished yet. it actually hit the east central area of sumar with heavy rain and 125-mile-per-hour winds. that's the equivalent of a category 3 hurricane. and take a look at the latest radar. you see it there, making its way, as it hits the philippine islands. but we understand it will continue to be a typhoon as it makes its way across land, because of the expanse of this system. and it will take roughly three days to cross over manila, in that northern portion of the philippines. so the people there bracing for a very heavy and very hard hit. and now, this is shaping up to be the best year in a very long time for the job market in the united states. the november jobs market report came in stronger than most analysts were actually expecting, prompting president obama to say this.

>> so we've got an opportunity to keep up this progress, if congress is willing to keep our government open, avoid self-influkted wounds, and work together to invest in the things that support faster job growth in high-paying jobs. and that means exports, infrastructure, streamlining our tax code, immigration reform, giving minimum wage workers a raise. >> cnn's christine romans has more. >> hi, fredricka. the job market is gaining moment. 321,000 new jobs added in november, the most since january 2012. and the trend is encouraging. ten months now of job growth over 200,000. the best year for job creation since 1999. now, digging inside these numbers, fredricka, the quality of the jobs is improving. the first several years of the recovery, well, it featured low-paid work. but now the labor department

calls jobs growth widespread, spanning professional and business services, retail, health care. yeah, the economy is still adding bartenders and fast food workers that tend to pay less, but hiring is picking up in warehouses, in factories, office parks, hospitals, labs. the . still the lowest in six years. wages grew slightly, frederica, but this has been a missing part of the recovery for several years now, even as demand grows, wages have not risen. that makes workers feel the recovery less. the white house argues these numbers are encouraging, a higher minimum wage is needed to cushion those lower paid workers. on balance, frederica, this week taught us a lot about the health of the economy, the best november auto sales if years. record high stocks, the lowest gas prices in more than four years, all pretty good signs for the american economy and the american consumer.

frederica. >> excellent. good news, christine romans, thanks, so much, in new york.

fresh seafood. >> in the future, ecommerce, the main battlefield were beyond mobile devices. by next year, the smartphone users will exceed that of pc users. so you can see mobile commerce definitely is the no. 1 trait. >> reporter: in today's online, the future is about the race, the speed of delivery. how to get that instant grat fiflgs even quicker. forget next day, what about within the hour? that's the hope as companies like amazon and dhl experiment with deliveries by drone. it's all bringing us one bullet closer to the demise of the brick and mortar stores. >> wowie. okay. how about you coffee lovers around the world, gathering. cnn's poppy harlow is going to take us inside starbucks new coffee wonderland.

starbucks founder calls it the willie wonka factory of coffee roasters. . >> is this the new starbucks? >> this is not the new starbucks, but i would say in our 43-year history, that is as historic moment as there possibly could be in opening up this roasterie on a magic carpet ride. >> you call this the willie wonka of coffee. >> i did. let me tell you why. nine-and-a-half years ago, i wrote in a journal, let's create the willie wonka of coffee. what i wanted to try and do is create this multi-sensory experience with theater, romance, drama and have the coffee moving around and create

a real roasting manufacturing facility and we've done it. you will be able to come into this facility and you can have multiple methods of how you want your coffee produced. this is a great thing. this is a blend of coffee. not a single varietal of columbia and pantheon only created for this particular store. >> reporter: are you going to make money on these? >> they're big and fancy and expensive. >> this is an expensive facility. this is not a vanity place for the company or for me. this is a working roasting facility and the coffee bar and the coffee facility will be profitable. >> reporter: is it fair to say this is your answer to those who say, i don't want starbucks, they're on every corner. i want my independent coffee

shop? >> i think the independents have done a very good job. it's not our answer to that. but it is the demonstration to the entire world that the starbucks coffee in my view and millions of people is as good as coffee produced anywhere else. >> the coffee here is about 40-to-50% more expensive. >> that's probably true. >> reporter: do americans want to learn about coffee and sit here and enjoy and take time? don't a lot of them want to grab it and run? >> i've talked for a year now about this seismic change of consumer behavior changing and going away from bricks and mortar to ecommerce and mobile. in order to mitigate that, i think it's incumbent upon the responsibility of the retailer to create these fantastic experiences that will swoop them awa
