this is "cnn newsroom" live from los angeles p. ahead this hour, russian athletes could be ban fred olympics after they found evidence of wide spread state sponsored doping. plus, after months of protests sparked by allegation of racism on campus the president and chancellor of the university of my suri stepped down. but questions remain if that will come what has become an open revolt at the school. and seaworld san diego is scrubbing one of the most controversial attractions but critics say ending the killer whale show does not mean an end to animal cruelty. hello. great to have you with us. wrk to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm john vause.

"news room l.a." begins right now. an independent report commissioned by the world antidoping agency is blasting russia saying it found evidence of an apparently state-sponsored doping program. the report was especially critical of russia's national anti-doping agency which is now labeled that report unprofessional and illogical. more details now from don riddell. >> our recommendation is that the russian federation be suspended. >> the world antidoping agency's independent commission says it found a deep culture of cheating in russian athletics, claiming doped athletes sabotaged the 2012 olympic games in london. on monday in geneva the commission called for lifetime bans for five russian athletes including gold medalist maria, stripping moose co

stripping them and firing the lab's director. >> we found cover-up, we found destruction of samples in the lavatories, payments of money in order to conceal doping tests. among others. >> the commission also says russian doping, quote, could not have happened without government consent. even accusing president vladimir putin. >> the extent of what was going on was -- it was so prevalent that in our conclusion was not possible for him to be unaware of it. and if he was aware of it, then he's come police it in it. >> what happens now is up to the iaaf and could mean russia would be banished from future olympic competition. >> the outcome may be that there are no russian track and field athletes in rio. >> reporter: with less than a year before the next summer games get under way, interpol is now launching its own criminal

investigation. don riddell, cnn. >> states-spons orred doping and cheating program since east germany during the 1970s. a professor of sports management is also the author of soccernomics. thank you for being with us. when dick pound says it's pretty bad, he's been battling doping for decades. it's pretty bad. so what are the chances russia will be banned from the next lks and are we talking all athletes here or just track and field? >> i think there are going to be some very serious consequences for the russian sports organizations. and there's still a way they could continue to participate in the competition but what they would have to do is demonstrate now a very clear and public commitment to fundamental change, which would mean getting rid of a lot of senior officials

within the russian sports and it's hard to see how they can actually carry that out. so, yeah, i think we're facing some serious sanctions coming down the road. >> some serious sanctions, do you want to say how far these sanctions go? russian athletes not being at the rio games a year from now? >> yeah, i think that's definitely a possibility. i think there's now going to be, you know, a huge cloud of suspicion around the russian athletes and a lot of people are not going to want to compete with them so it's going to be very hard to see how they can easily just turn up and complete. and i think, also, you've got to take into account the very close connection of this with the organization at the russian world cup in 2018, the president -- the organizing committee is specifically in connection with this corp. rupgs so that raises the whole

question about whether fifa can continue to be associated with 2018. >> it's incredible how all of this is linked in some way. one thing which i found startling about this report is the level of involvement which is alleged by the russian government here. what is in it for the russian government to be so highly involved in doping of sport? >> well, of course, i mean, russian is successor to the soviet union and the soviet union closely connected sports with political advantage. so success in sporting competition was seen as a manifestation of the political success of the regime. and i think those habits diehard. i think it's still seen as being credibly prestige use for the country to do well in sport and, therefore, this win at all costs mentality has played a -- continues to play a key role in the way that they think about sports. >> so you're saying there's

still a cold war mentality out there as far as the russians are concerned? >> yeah, actually, to be honest, i don't think it's just the russians. i think there is -- this is true globally, that sport is seen as being an important way of protecting, if you like, soft power politically. i think in the united states it's very similar. i think across the world regimes see the importance of this. the question is how far are you prepared to go in protecting power in this way and how far are you prer prepared to bend the rules? and clearly they found that the russians it seems will stop at nothing. >> okay. stephan, thanks for being with us. good insight there. >> thank you. racial tensions have led to a big shake-up for the university in the american south. both the president and chancellor at the university of missouri have resigned. over the weekend player on the school's football team

threatened to boycott the games until the president left. african-american students say school leaders did not do enough to deal with racism on campus including the open use of racial slurs. >> there is something that was systematically wrong on this camp campus. and obviously i was identified as the reason. >> students and teachers gathered after the president's resignation and sang "we shall overcome." the president of the student association at the university of missouri. he joins you now via skype. thank you for being with us group posted on facebook back in september about the racism you faced every day on campus. tell me about that post and then what happened after that. >> yeah. i think one of the things that inspired this post was that this was the second incident that i experienced on this campus.

and one of the things that i've been trying to do as my role as student body president is bring these issues up to administration to have productive conversations to how to create a more inclusive campus. i found that i am coming to the end of my office, in these closed door meetings i've been talking about the climate that have been dangerous for students and how to address that. and i found that i have not been listened to. so i went to social media to talk about an experience that i dealt with that very same weekend that helped talk about some of the issues that students are facing and recognize them and help us to recognize that these aren't single isolated incidents on this campus. >> so what was that experience you had that you actually ended up writing about that got such a big reaction? >> yeah. so i was walking through campus and as i was walking through there were guys on the back of a

pickup truck shouting the "n" word at me. i think the one thing that made me so disappointed in this incident is this wasn't the first time this had happened to me. and also i know that this isn't -- my friends go through these experiences as well. and this isn't something that is just about race as well, which is one of the reasons why this movement at large has become intersectional. it's not just about race, it's about people and their sexual identities who walk through the streets of columbia, missouri,nd have to worry about people throwing drinks on them if they're in a same-sex relationship or a friend identified as trans, as she was walking through the streets she was spit on. friends identified as muslim and are called terrorists and towel heads. those are some of the experiences of mu students. and i think what's most important to remember is that, you know, missouri is not the only place where these incidents happen. however, time and time again these issues have been brought

up to the administration here at mizzou so we can continue to make steps towards creating a more inclusive space so that students understand that this kind of behavior will not be tolerated by the university and the university of missouri system. >> okay. so now that the chancellor and president have stepped down, that does not bruing an end to racism and bigotry and hatred. how do you change people's hearts? >> yeah, absolutely. i think the main thing that needs to start right now is campus healing. our students are hurting. now more than ever because this is something that isn't going to be solved. you know, this is something we have to look at systematically. you know, this institution has 176 years old. the university of missouri was founded in 1839. the first public land grant institution west of the mississippi river. so we need to have conversations about the past of the university

and how what has happened in the past, you know bs tra, translat will be happening in the future. part of it is -- >> very quickly -- >> yes. >> sorry to interrupt. running short on time. apologies for interrupting. quickly, do you think if the football team did not get involved in this, not a threatened strike and potential loss of a lot of money the president and chancellor would have stepped down? >> i can't say at this moment. i really, really try to have hope that our university administration would do the right thing. and so i am thankful to mizzou football. i am thankful to all of our students which have been out there expressing their concerns for our administration to recognize what is happening on this campus and to address it. >> payton head, president of the student association at the university of missouri.

thank you for being with us. best of luck. >> thank you. u.s. republican presidential candidates prepare for their fourth debate on tuesday. one is spending time firing back at allegations that he fabricated parts of his life story. as cnn's dana bash reports ben carson blames unfair media bias for his problems. >> reporter: ben carson is surging in south carolina, now running neck and neck with donald trump. >> it's not particularly getting -- >> reporter: carson is on the rise even as questions persist about his life story defined by tales of personal struggle and redempti redemption, central to his appeal. >> you're asking me about something that occurred 50 years ago. you expect me to have the details on that? forget about it. it's not going to happen. >> reporter: whether it's the fact that cnn could not find anyone to corroborate a story of him stabbing a boy or the "wall street journal" questioning his anecdote about taking a test at yale designed to paint him as

ethical, carson says he's a victim of unfair media bias. >> that's just stupid. and if our media is no better investigating than that, it's sick. >> reporter: carson declines to identify individuals involved in his violent out busts, but today he did point to a 1997 story featuring his mother sonya who told "parade" magazine about attempted stabbing says, oh, that really happened. telling cnn, the questions are fair game. >> i think it's a very good thing that dr. carson is being vetted. that dr. carson is being tested. >> reporter: and other candidates listening to carson complain say, welcome to the big leagues. >> i don't have a whole lot of sympathy. he should answer the questions fot rightly and directly. >> reporter: marco rubio is also facing scrutiny for his past using a florida republican party credit card for personal expenses but his campaign is confronting it with a different tactic. releasing the statements this

weekend insisting there's no there there. donald trump, fellow outsider virtually tied with carson in key early states, have the most to gain by the krcontroversy. >> ben wrote a book and the book is a tough book because he talked about he has pathological disease. that's a serious statement when you say you have pathological disease because as i understand it you can't really cure it. but he said he had pathological disease. >> reporter: carson did call his temper as a child pathological but not a disease. here's what donald trump told us this summer. >> everybody exaggerates. i mean, i guess i do a little bit. i want to say good things. >> reporter: whether or not all of these issues come up during the debate here in wisconsin, that is to be determined. the moderators and the theme of the debate is supposed to be about the economy and jobs. but when you have candidates on stage who are determined to go

after one another, point out their weaknesses, you never know what's going to happen. dana bash, cnn, milwaukee, wiscons wisconsin. hillary clinton is now officially on the ballot for new hampshire's primary. the democratic front-runner signed the form declaring her candidacy on monday and she was plank flanked by supporter when's she did at new hampshire holds the first presidential primary that will be scheduled for february. still to come here, one of the most popular attractions at seaworld amusement park will be shutting down. details on which show is being phas phased out. plus, shocking details about what happened before city marshals killed this little boy and wounded his father. that's still to come. the cold truth is...

welcome back. there is good news to killer whales. seaworld as announced the famous killer whale show at san diego park will be phased out by the end of next year. a new orca experience will replace the attraction which habitat center of allegations on animal cruelty for years.

>> reporter: the ceo of seaworld came out in an investors conference today and said that the orca show as we know it now, the that live show will be phased out in 2016. he said they were listening not to activists but to guests. and the guests had said they wanted the orcas in a much more natural environment, they didn't like the idea the orcas doing things that look like trained tricks. they wanted to see them do things that seemed like was much more in the wild. in 2017 the new show is supposed to be in a more natural environment, heavy on information and conservation. perhaps the single biggest critic on capitol hill of seaworld is adam schiff, the congressman said today that he is somewhat skeptical of this decision by seaworld. let's take a listen. >> well, i'm skeptical, i guess we'll see how far seaworld is willing to go. it's a positive step. it's still not going to be adequate if they're going to maintain these orcas in captivity. i would love to to see them

partner with others in the creation of ocean sanctuaries and put an end to the program generally. >> schiff has introduced legislation that would prohibit breeding the orcas in captivity or capturing them for these types of orca shows. now, one note, the ceo of seaworld did say that this is not an across the universe move in terms of this new show. that means it would not translate to similar parks in orlando and san antonio. now, after the documentary "black fish," huge black lash against seaworld but we also saw something else firsthand, whale watching, especially here in southern california. it was way up this year. it was a banner year. and orcas. >> reporter: far enough souts and on some trips people did see them. the captain of one ship telling us that you could hear children screaming and saying, they're free, they're free, they're out in the wild. we also noticed firsthand that time of irmt xexcitement.

so whale watching way up after "black fish." back to you. learning new details about what led to a car chase in louisiana which ended with a hail of gunfire killing a 6-year-old boy and wounding his father. cnn's martin savidge has the story. >> reporter: 6-year-old jeremy mardis was laid to rest in his former home in mississippi. nearly a week after his shooting death at the hands of authorities in a small central louisiana town. the shooting has resulted in the arrest of two city marshals and a community haunted by questions. at the shooting scene this small number of people held hands and prayed. >> let him know that our community is behind him and that we will never forget him. >> reporter: as they remembered the child who died evidence of the hail of gunfire that took his life was all around them if broken glass, spray painted police investigation marks, even

bullet holes. the big question for many, why did two city marshals shoot and kill jeremy. >> jeremy mardis, 6 years old, he didn't deserve to die like that. that's what's unfortunate. >> reporter: according to witnesses it began last tuesday in a local bar where the father got into an argument with his girlfriend if two separated only to begin fighting again. this time outside in view of two city marshalls who moved in and allegedly attempted to detain few. according to a source close to the case information, few took off in an suv with his 6-year-old son beside him. the marshals called for backup and pursued. cornering few on a dead end street on the edge of town. these paint marks show where the vehicle stopped. according to authorities, the officers say few backed up several times striking their vehicles, then for reasons still unclear, the officers opened fire, blasting as many as 16 to 18 shots according to those who heard the gunfire, into few's

suv. critically wounding few and killing his son jeremy who, according to the coroner, was struck five times. >> i don't know what he was thinking. i don't know why he wouldn't just stop. he didn't do nothing wrong. >> reporter: state investigators say few was unarmed and all of the gunfire came from city marshals. early reports say there were war rans for few's arrest but state police say that isn't true. the case turned on video from a recently purchased body camera worn by a marksville police officer who arrived as backup. >> i can tell you as a father, it was one of the most disturbing things i witnessed. i cannot go into detail. i cannot tell you bits and pieces about it. although i would love to share some of that with you. i simply cannot and won't do that tonight. >> reporter: now the two city marshals, 32-year-old derrick stafford and 23-year-old norris greenhouse have been charged with second degree murder and attempted second degree murder. bond is a million dollars each.

jeremy whittington has been visiting few in the hospital. >> does he know what happened? >> i can't answer that one. i have no idea if he knows 100% what happened, what led to everything. but he is conscious. he is aware. >> reporter: aware enough, authorities say, on the day little jeremy was laid to rest his father could finally be told he had died. martin savidge, cnn, marksville, louisiana. a short break. when we come back, metrojet investigation moving from airport workers to hotel workers. we're live with the latest on the investigation into that fate tool flight. an honor for caitlyn jenner's activism sparking new controversy.

welcome back, everybody. you're watching "cnn newsroom" live from los angeles. coming up at 9:30 on a monday night. i'm john vause. the headlines at the hour. independent report commissioned by the world antidoping agency has accused russian athletes of doping. the report was especially critical of russia's antidoping agency which has allowed what analogy state sponsored drug yoo us. the agency has called the report unprofessional and illogical. two top officials at the university of missouri has resigned amid complaints they did not do enough to address racism. both the president and chancellor stepped down after weeks of protests from students and faculty. the weekend player on the school's football team threatened to boycott games until the president left.

five people are dead, six wounded after a former police officer opened fire at a training facility in jordan. king abdullah visited the victims in hospital on monday. u.s. official says the officer was recently fired but it's unclear if that prompted the shooting. security forces killed the gunman. egypt says skitity forces killed a leader from isis in the sinai peninsula. that's the same group which claimed responsibility for downing metrojet last month. egyptian authorities have not accused that leader of being involved in the plane crash. they say it's too early to tell if terrorism played a role. meantime, the fbi is offering to help in the investigation. for more let's go live now to ian lee in sharm el sheikh this hour. airport workerses to hotel in the region and hotel workers. >> that's right. there's a lot of look into what

possibly could have happened here, especially there's a lot of theories going out right now. and the egyptians have cast a wide net of theories saying that it could have been a bomb, it could have been an engine, it could have been a battery exploding. but there is a lot of questions on security at the hotels and other places here in egypt, especially there's a report out this morning about bomb detecting equipment that may -- or that has been discredited in the past that is checking hotels. so there is really a question of not only security at the airport but security in other places and we're hearing also as well that klm, the dutch carrier, is going to be bringing its staff in to cairo airport to also provide security checks so that they can get those flights running as normal. >> and, ian, i guess with the egyptians now looking at possible hotel workers and maybe this connection with the bomb,

is there acknowledgement from the egyptian a bomb brought down this plane, are they relying only on intelligence from the americans tapped br s and the b their own information from their own investigators as well? >> reporter: well, egyptians have been fairly standoffish of declaring what it is exactly. although, if you remember in the beginning of this investigation they were saying almost 100% that this wasn't a bomb, that it was a mechanical issue. we've seen them slowly shift over to the notion that it could have been a bomb that brought down this flight. but they still don't want to call it a bomb quite yet. they are saying the investigation is still ongoing. the one thing that will be crucial are the pieces of wreckage at the crash site. do they have the residue of a bomb? but if it is, turns out to be a bomb, this would be a very big blow not only for egypt security

apparatus, which is seen as being a very tight and very proficient, but also for their tourism industry which we've seen the hotels are emptying out for the most part. a lot of people are leaving, returning, and we're not seeing those tourists being replaced by new ones. >> okay. ian, thank you. ian lee live there in sharm el sheikh with the latest investigation. thank you, ian. for the first time in more than a year israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu met with the u.s. president barack obama. monday's meeting at the white house was their face to face get together since the iran nuclear deal. president obama has just one year left in office and he's trying to seek common ground with mr. netanyahu to try and put the relationship between these two countries on a more stable footing. the final results on a yet but still joyous crowds and celebrations outside opposition partyed a quarters in myanmar. i spoke to suu kyi, they are

headed for a landslide victory. the military backed party has effect ufly conceded defeat if eye van watson has the latest. ivan, put this in perspective here. once the results are officially announced and suu kyi are elected in that landslide, what happens then? >> well, first of all, it's really important to note. you know, european union election monitors have just given their assetment of the election. one is the election is not over yet. and, john, that is also being echoed by the white house, which is also saying, listen, everybody's got to wait until the final results have been announced. take a listen to what the white house press secretary had to say. >> the united states congratulates the people of berm what on the election and commend all of the people in institutions in the country who work together to hold a peaceful and historic election.

we're seeing initial reports of results but we encourage everyone to wait for the union election commission's official results and their final reports from domestic -- and the final reports from domestic and international observer missions before making assessments. but what is clear is that for the first time ever millions of people in burma voted in a meaningful, competitive election. >> so, john, the main opposition party, aung san suu kyi's national league for democracy is, claiming a landslide victory. a little bit more than 10% of the result of the election have been officially announced out of 54 parliamentary seats, 49 have gone to aung san suu kyi's lld but there are still 400 plus seats yet to be announced. it is true though that the

military-backed ruling party, the usdp, has effectively conceded defeat saying they lost more seats than they won. but big question now is going to be what is the percentage by which aung san suu kyi's party won and that's something the people are going to be watching very closely in the hours and days ahead. john? >> so we're all on a bit of edge here wondering how big the margin is, i guess. at the end of the day it's difficult to over state how historic this shift in power will be in myanmar. >> absolutely. i mean, this is a country that has been ruled by military dictatorships for more than half a century. a lot of the people that we saw celebrating outside the headquarters of the opposition mld, some of them just clearly gob smacked by the possibility that their voices have truly been heard, especially whichion tau take into account the last

openly contested election took place nationally in 1990. and the military did not like the results and it quake lquick crushed the election and arrested aung san suu kyi and many of her copatriots. people who are celebrating right now are people, many of whom have directly suffered under the hands of the past military regimes, have been put in prison for years, for daring to defy the authoritarian government that ruled this country for so long. perhaps the most important indicator of where this could go is the fact that the sitting president who is himself a former army general has vowed that whatever the results are, they will be respected. that said, don't expect the army generals to go quietly into the night, john. they still constitutionally will play a big role in whatever future government there will be. they control at least 25% of the seats in the upcoming

parliament. those seats are just reserved for the military and they are not subject to any vote. and the military will continue three key ministries in the future government, the ministries of foreign affairs, defense, and the interior. so even if aung san suu kyi and her party sweep this election they're still going to be seeing some very serious checks and balances from the same army generals that oppressed them for decades in the past. john? >> very true, but it is the start of something special, no doubt. ivan, thank you. appreciate the update. still to come here on "cnn newsroom," there is record levels and it's smothering parts of china. a live report on the unbelievable air. that's coming up. the future belongs to the fast. and to help you accelerate, we've created a new company... one totally focused on what's next for your business.

we head to northeastern china where they're coping with record levels of smog. monday's pollution was more than

50 times the world health organization's recommendations, tolerable levels of the most harmful air part lates but levels in some parts on monday hit 860 micrograms over 24-hour period. let's go to beijinbeijing. it's always bad in winter. why is it really in these record levels right now where you are? looks awful. >> well, john, you know, you have lived here for years. you know, the government usually blames this double whammy, one is the weather in northeastern china they say it's high humidity coupled with little wind. really trapping all the pollutants in the air. then it's the start of the heating season where the massive sudden burning of a lot of cole really produced a lot of pollutants in the air as well. as you can see behind me as you were just saying, the pollution has spread to more parts of

china. the beijing authorities actually just issued a yellow alert for smog for the next three days, warning schools to stop all outdoor activities and advising citizens to wear masks on the streets. but things are equally bad this northeast still. it was much worse as you said over the weekend. people complaining about the smell in the air, the irritating eyes, and sore throats. but their biggest complaint seems to be against the local authorities who just simply seem to be ill prepared. the government website's overwhelmed as people went there to seek information. and construction sites remain open, producing even more dust in the air. so it seems like despite all of these emergency protocols that has been in place for years the many governments, low governments play is slow in reacting. one last thing, john. as you and i were talking the pollution is not just china, it's spreading across the ocean where you are as dust storms sweep a lot of pollutants to the

west coast of the u.s. you can run but you cannot escape. >> we should note it is 1:42 in the afternoon on monday there where steven is. it's not early in the day or late at night, either. we are joined with more on this at the international weather center. pedram, tell us about this plus. >> the images continue to just stagger us here as you look at the spectacular shots coming out of this region of the density of the smog across this region. the poor nature of the air quality as well. you go into the overnight areas and john was trying to say it because you know much of the parts of the world you see the nothing set-up across the morning hours, afternoon hours. this is not that. incredible matters set up in place. you look at the numbers that came out of this region of china. the world health organization puts the number of particula tp.

1157, the 46 times of what is considered normal across this region of china. andrew alluded to this as well. cooler temperatures in recent days, a lot of coal burning taking place but the world health ocean saying that about 7 million people lose their lives every single year due to air quality. heart disease, stroke, has a lot to do with this. on a daily basis when you do the math, 19,000 people every single day. another way way to look at it, equivalent to four commercial jets filled with passengers falling out of the sky every single hour, every single day all year, that is how many people would die every single year on a global basis. china, 1950-1980 the government distributed free coal north of the river where the average temperature in the winter months remains around the freezing mark. and from 1990 through 2010 we

know 55% higher pollution was observed across the northern portion of china. life expectancy shorter on that northern tier of china, 5 years for an average person. in china in 2013 coal usage exceeded 360 million tons, larger than our entire planet combined, china exceeds that by themselves with coal usage. all of this certainly bodes a disastrous scenario across that region. >> of course, new report just came out that they used more coal than previously thought. but not looking good ahead of that climate change summit in december. pedram, thank you. when we come back, caitlyn jenner among "glamour" magazine's woman of the year. coming up, both sides of the debate. can a business have a mind? a subconscious. a knack for predicting the future. reflexes faster than the speed of thought.

can a business have a spirit? can a business have a soul? can a business be...alive? the great beauty of owning a property is that you can create wealth through capital appreciation, and this has been denied to many south africans for generations. this is an opportunity to right that wrong. the idea was to bring capital into the affordable housing space in south africa, with a fund that offers families of modest income safe and good accommodation. citi got involved very early on and showed an enormous commitment. and that gave other investors confidence. citi's really unique, because they bring deep understanding of what's happening in africa. i really believe we only live once, and so you need to take an idea that you have and go for it.

talking about the trans community in an open and honest way. the work she's done has been historic and the reason why she deserves this award. >> nicole, over to you. why do you think that just doesn't hold water when it comes to caitlyn jenner? >> i think that caitlyn jenner should not have won this award because she's not a woman. the fact that "glamour" dubbed her woman of the year or among the many recipients suggests that men are better at being women than women are. and i think that it's insulting to women who were born biologically women who have done things that would have been more deserving of this award. >> okay. you're saying that because caitlyn jenner was not born a woman and is transgender, she shouldn't have been included but there is a definition out there comes from the gynecologists society, human rights commission, comes from the

psychotherapy groups. transgender is a broad term used for people whose gender identity or gender expression differs from their assigned sex at birth. it's a psychiatric issues, it's not a physiological issue. caitlyn jenner identifies as a woman, therefore, she should be considered a woman. >> absolutely. >> no, i think when it comes to gender, what caitlyn has really shown is that gender is really what you feel on the inside. it's not about the biological parts you're born with or what society may deem you to be a woman. it's really about a feeling in your soul. she clearly felt so strongly her entire life that she chose to transition very publicly. so i think for us to state she's not a woman just because maybe she wasn't biologically born so i think is a little bit antiquated and offensive. >> nicole, i mean, that basically is the answer to your argument, though, isn't it? if you identify as a woman, as caitlyn jenner does, trailbla d

trailblazed, she's been out there, very public, although some could say publicity which has been around her transition has been for her own benefit, not necessarily for the transgender community. doesn't that sot of put your argument in its place in a way? >> i don't think so. i don't think that feelings are identity trump biology. i might wake up one day and feel like i want to be a dolphin and swim in the ocean and feel the nice salty water. that doesn't make me a dolphin. in this case i'm just saying because she wakes up one day and feels something that does not trump your own biology and, therefore, because caitlyn jenner still has the biological parts of a man i don't think she should have been awarded this award. >> transgender, people have been on about the award in the past. do you think no transgender people should ever be receiving this kind of awards, ever? >> not this particular award, woman of the year.

i'm not saying they haven't done other things that are great. i just think for something like this when caitlyn jenner still has male body parts, no, i don't think that she should have won that award. >> so, mia, there are a lot of people who, in fact, a lot of feminists who agree with nicole. germane greer has been very outspoken about that, agreeing with the position that nicole has. so at the end of the day, aren't there other women out there who have done more for women than caitlyn jenner over the past 12 months? >> you know, i think that argument could be made for any of the candidates across the board. i think, you know, to make the argument if i wake up like a dolphin i'll turn into one sounds like, you know, someone who might need a crash course in biology. i think here what it's about is showcasing that gender is a fluid, it's really a gamut. and this idea of kind of putting people into stereotypes, that's

what this award is moving away from. we can easily state that the woman needs to only play with barbies or the woman should be a housewife. where does that end? i think it's a very slippery slope when we as women are looking at another woman and wagging our fingers like, i'll tell you what a true woman is. >> okay. we'll leave it there. if nothing else, "glamour" magazine got a lot of publicity for their award this time. mia, appreciate you being with us. nicole, thank you for your point as view as well. thank you to you both. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> and the debate does go on. you are watching "cnn newsroom" live from los angeles. i'm john vause. please stay with us. issa will be with us.

and russia could be banned from next year's summer olympics after investigators found evidence of state sponsored doping. >> hello. welcome to you in the united states and around the world. i'm isc asia sesay. >> i'm john vause. "cnn newsroom" l.a. begins right now. u.s. republican presidential candidates prepare for fourth debate on tuesday. one of them is spending time firing back at allegations he fabricated parts of his life story. >> as cnn's dana bash reports ben carson blames unfair media bias for his issues. >> reporter: ben carson is surging in south carolina, now running neck and neck with donald trump. carson is on the rise even as questions persist about his life story defined by tales of personal struggle and

redemption, central to his appeal. >> you're asking me about something that occurred 50 years ago. you expect me to have the detail osen that? forget about it. it's not going to happen. >> reporter: whether it's the fact that cnn could not find anyone who could not corroborate his story of stabbing a boy as a young man, saved by his belt buckle, or the "wall street journal" questioning his anecdote about taking a test at yale, carson says he's a victim of unfair media bias. >> that's just stupid. i mean, if our media is no better investigating than that, it's sick. >> reporter: carson declines to identify individuals involved in his violent out bursts but today he did point to a 1997 story featuring his mother sonya who told "parade" magazine about the attempted stabbing ansaid, oh, that rally happened. carson's top adviser sounds a different note from the candidate telling cnn the questions are fair game. >> i think it's a very good thing that dr. carson is being

tested. >> is he kidding? >> reporter: and other candidates listening to carson complain say, welcome to the big leagues. >> i don't have a whole lot of sympathy. he should answer the questions, forthrightly and directly. >> marco rubio is also facing scrutiny for his past using a florida republican party credit card for personal expenses. but his campaign is confronting it with a different tactic, releasing the statements this weekend insisting there's no there there. donald trump, a fellow outsider virtually tied with carson in key early states have the most to gain by the controversy and stoked it on cnn's "state of the union." >> ben wrote a book and the book is a tough book because he talked about he has pathological disease. that's a serious statement when you say you have pathological disease because as i understand it you can't really cure it. was he said he had pathological disease. >> reporter: carson did call his temper pathological but not a disease. and carson isn't the only first

time politician prone to embellishing in the past. here's what donald trump told thus summer. >> everybody exaggerates. i guess i do a little bit. i want to say good things. >> whether or not all of these issues come up during the debate here in wisconsin, that is to be determined. the moderators and the theme of the debate is supposed to be about the economy and jobs. but when you have candidates on stage who are determined to go after one another, point out their weaknesses, you never know what's going to happen. dana bash, cnn, milwaukee, wisconsin. for more of the u.s. presidential campaign ben carson's problems in the latest polling numbers, earlier i spoke to cnn's senior media and political reporter dillon. let's talk about the complaints dr. carson has about this level of media scrutiny and some critics may say welcome to the big leagues. this is what you get when you're at the front of the pack. but does he actually have a point? is he receiving more scrutiny

than other candidates who have been in a similar position? >> well, he's receiving more scrutiny than he was, say, a month ago but that's because he's the front-runner. in many polls he's even being donald trump. so with that comes scrutiny. what's happening here is they're going after moments from his past, right? we've got a cnn report looking into his behavior as a child and whether or not his claims about that are true. we have a political report looking into whether or not he actually had a scholarship offer from west point. these are things that are so long ago that he's able to sort of dismiss them as character assassination, hit jobs, things like that. so, look, he deserves more media scrutiny without question. is he able to sort of use the things that are being taken out against him as a way to sort of push back and deflect against media criticism? absolutely. he's doing so at a time when the conservative base, especially sort of primed to be suspicious of anything the media does. >> also raising money, $3.5

million last week. donald trump has stepped up his jabs. not really attack. oh, my poor friend ben, i hope he's okay. that kind of stuff. a few hours ago joined a campaign rally. he had some comments. he poked a little fun at what's going on with the campaign. let's listen to some of what donald trump had to say. >> if you try and hit our mother over the head with a hammer your poll numbers go up. i never saw anything like it. now i haven't seen that yet, but, you know, probably that's going the happen. no, it's a weird oh of a lot of weird things happen. this a strange election, isn't it? man. newspapers say you didn't do it. and you said, yes, i i did, i did it. no, you didn't. yes, i did. i stabbed him and it hit the belt. and think said, you didn't do it. if they said i didn't do it, i would be so happy.

this is the only election in history where you're better off if you stab somebody. what are we coming to? >> this is the thing i really like about donald trump. i mean, he does put things into perspective. he's got a good point there. this is weird. >> it's very weird. this is such a great moment for donald trump because he made this campaign weird. >> right. >> he made this campaign unprecedentedly ridiculous and now he has this opportunity to say, hey, look, i'm not the crazy one. i'm not ridiculous. look how ridiculous this campaign has become. so much about what is ridiculous in this campaign has been a matter of catching up to what trump established. but really now we're at a place where he's like, look, i'm not the crazy guy. >> quickly, another debate coming up on tuesday. ben carson not very god at debates. so does this debate now have a special importance for him? does he need to do something in this campaign because in this we the bait, rather, because he's

done nothing in the others so far. >> again, it goes back to now that he's the front-runner, scrutiny is at an all-time high. he has to perform. the expectations are high. all eyes are on ben carson. all eyes are on donald trump. sure, we're sort of worried about some of the other candidates. everyone wants to see how marco rubio does. no, for the most part this is a contest between carson and trump. it's going to be interesting to see if carson can play for a full two hours, right, with the spotlight on him. also going to be interesting the see how trump responds in a debate where he's not actually the uncontested front-runner. >> okay. dillon, good to speak with you. thank you. >> thank you. and reminder, follow the latest on the u.s. presidential campaign heading to our website, you will find everything at cnnpolitics.com. now, racial tensions at university in the u.s. have forced two top officials to resign. >> the president and chancellor of the university of missouri stepped down amid protests from

african-american students over how they handled racism. detail. >> reporter: you're watching a protest at the university of missouri's homecoming parade. red car is university president tim wolfe. >> tim wolfe. >> reporter: these students are protesting what they say is a pattern of racism on campus. an ineffective response by the university ears leaders. eventually counter protests get in between them and president wolfe. >> do not engage. do not engage. do not engage. >> engage. what the [ bleep ] are you talking about? >> reporter: wolfe apparently does nothing to address the protesters and the police break it up. >> let's go. >> move. get out of the way. >> reporter: the incident a result of what students say was inaction by the administration to address racial incidents on

campus. tension started to boil over on campus in mid september when this man, student body president peyton head reported on facebook that some guys riding in the back of a pickup truck decided it would be okay to continuously scream the "n" word at me. the "post" went viral. a few weeks after that, another racially charged incident. african-american student organization was rehearsing a play that the out door amp by theater on campus when they say a white male jumped on stage and called them the "n" word. university police was called and few days later the student was identified and, quote, moved from campus pending an investigation. on october 24th, another incident of hate in this residence hall. at 2:00 in the morning someone entered a bathroom andrew a swastika with feces. it was actually the second time in less than a year that someone had vandalized a university dorm with a nazi symbol. this most recent incident, the guilty party was never found.

on november 2 a week ago graduate student jonathan butler vowed he would starve himself until tim wolfe was gone. writing in a letter to university officials that he continue until either tim wolfe was removed from office or my internal organs fail and my life is lost. this past friday this video was posted to twitter of wolfe being confronted by students a second time. this time he responds. >> because you don't believe that you have the equal opportunity for success. >> money, money, money. that bad. >> get back. >> did you just blame us for oppression, tim wolfe? >> reporter: on saturday university football player anthony sheryls tweeted that athletes of color on the football team wouldn't play until president wolfe resigns or is removed due to his negligence towards marginalized students experiences. on sunday, as protests grow on campus, local station ksda films

a truck driving by them flying a confederate flag. that same day the football coach tweets out this picture of the teen writing, we are united. we are behind our players. and then this morning, a month after that first confrontation with protesters -- >> i am resigning as president of the university of missoui system. >> why did we get to this very decision? it is my belief we stopped listening to each other. independent report commissioned by the world antidoping agency has accused russia of running a state sponsored doping program. the report says without corrective action russia should be banned from future competition. >> russia's national antidoping agency responded calling the report, quote, unprofessional and illogical. don riddell has the story.

>> reporter: our recommendation is that the russian federation be suspended. >> reporter: the world antidoping agency's independent commission said it found a deep culture of cheating in russian athletics claiming doped athletes sabotaged the 2012 games in london. on monday the commission called for lifetime bans for five medalist maria savinova and f e firing the lab's director. >> we found cover-up, we found destruction of samples in the laboratories. we found payments of money in order to conceal doping tests. among others. >> reporter: the commission also says russian doping, quote, could not have happened without government consent. even accusing president vladimir putin. >> the extent of what was going on was -- it was to prevalent that in our conclusion it was

not possible for him to be unaware of it. and if he was aware of it, then he's come police it in it. >> reporter: what happens now is up to the iaaf, international association of athletics federations and could mean russia would be banished from future olympic competition. >> the outcome may be that there are no russian track and field athletes in rio. >> reporter: with less than a year before the next summer games get under way, interpol says it's now launching its own criminal investigation. don riddell, cnn. a short break here. when we come back, the investigation of the metrojet crash is focus tond airport where the plane took off. ahead, we'll show you why some authorities believe there was a security breach. san diego is scrubbing one of the most controversial attractions. they say ending it does not mean an end to animal cruelty. believe it.

egypt says security forces kimd the leader of the isis group in the sinai peninsula. it's the same group who claimed

downing the group. >> they will not see if the leader was involved in the crash. they insist it's too soon to know if a terror attack brought the plane down. the u.s. and britain are all but certain the blom blew the plane apart killing all 224 people onboard. >> from more let's go to ian lee from sharm el sheikh. comments made are given further weight to the theory the bomb brought down this plane. >> that's right, asia. he said it's likely the bomb did. the slowly more senior officials in both the uk and the u.s. governments are saying that they are getting -- that they do believe that a bomb took down this flight. and we have seen a bit of a shift from the egyptians and the russians as well. the egyptians now saying they are not ruling out anything, but they say that it could still be an engine explosion or battery

exploding. the real question is what is that loud bang that we heard in the final moments of that voice recorder? that's what investigators are looking at. the fbi could be brought in. that was offered by the u.s. to analyze that sound to see what exactly it is. but egyptian officials are still very cautious at saying what the cause of this crash is. they say this investigation could still take some time. and also that wreckage, that's over the about seven miles, it's still being analyzed. they still don't have every piece. so it could be a while before we find out definitively what happened. >> ian, another interesting detail to emerge in all of this. according to u.s. official at least some of the intelligence intercepts being used to assess what happened came from israel. how closely does israel monitor the sinai peninsula? >> well, israel monitors the

sinai extremely closely. and this is why belief is why the u.s. and the uk didn't share this intelligence with the egyptians. initially is that because this intelligence came from israel and the relations between israel and egypt, while it has gotten better under the presidency of sisi, there still is suspicion between the two countries. but israel does very much monitor the sinai. there have been attacks from the sinai into israel. and so israel intelligence monitors the movements there as well. in fact, isis in the northern part of sinai has actually executed people they claim they accuse of being spies for israel. so it is something that israel does take very seriously, is what is happening on its long border with sinai and with egypt. >> ian lee reporting with the

latest from sharm el sheikh. appreciate it. the airport at sharm el sheikh is considered a gateway to one of egypt's most popular resort towns. but now that airport is under intense scrutiny. >> there are questions swirling about security at that airport. cnn's trying to get some answers. >> reporter: whooels down, the latest flight in a wave of evacuations ordered by british and russian governments to bring their citizens safely home. this as questions swirl around the airport security. allegations key scanners are sometimes not functioning. employees accept bribes. allegations the egyptians deny. for now, this is as close as our cameras can get to the airport after the military took over and kicked the media out. but it wasn't always this way. six days after the plane crash egyptian officials were eager to

show us around. they took us on a tour to see the airport's inner workings. they showed us the luggage screening process, a process the british government says may bb manipulated leading to the upon bombing of metrojet 9268. bbc reports british intelligence believes a bomb was placed in the lower half of the plane's fuselage, a place where luggage is stored during the flight. all bags are first xaed. if they see something they think is suspicious they send us to this machine for more tests. it's used to test for ine and - explosives. when we were there everyone seemed to run smoothly. but the associated press reports that's not always the case. an unnamed airport official says the machine often breaks down and the breakdowns have more to do with, quote, human stupidity rather than technical faults. another official told a.p. the policeman at the scanning. s are poorly paid and sometimes take bribes to allow drugs and

weapons through. one policeman told cnn, unlike other airport employees, he and his colleagues are not searched before entering the airport. instead, they're vetted and managed by egypt's top security agenc agencies. he said their work is watched through the airport's camera system. we were shown one of the rooms used to monitor that system. we're told they have footage of flight 9268. they say it's part of the on going investigation. during our tour we weren't al w allowed to see everything we wanted. they didn't say why. we asked to get on the tarmac. this is as close as we were allowed to go. we filmed through an open door main room used to monitor the he airport. egyptian authorities are hitting back at allegations of security lapses. the civil aviation ministry spokesman told cnn, i am not saying we are 100% mistake free. it is possible but not in the way it was portrayed. these allegations are

generalizations. they are baseless and false. they insist the airport is safe. >> international siv aviation authority, and we are complying with all this thunder and regulation of this authority. which means it's completely safe to fly and fly from and to sharm el sheikh airport. >> reporter: the british and russian always shuls are skeptical. they've sent their own teams to evaluate the airport and shepherd their is it shens home. whether or not isis brought down metrojet 9268 security at this and other airports in the region will remain under scrutiny. the results are far from final but there are enough for these voters to celebrate in myanmar. coming up, the election that could significantly change the country. also ahead, the latest on record levels of smog gagging parts of china and the dangers it might pose for others. stay with us.

welcome back, everybody. you're watching "cnn newsroom" live from los angeles. just coming to 10:30 on a monday night. i'm john vause. >> i'm isha sesay. two top officials at the university of missouris resigned amid complaints they didn't do enough to address racism. they stepped down after weeks of protests from students and faculty. over the weekend, players on the school's football team threatened to boycott games until the president left. independent report commissioned by the world antidoping agency has accused

russian athletes of doping. the report was especially critical of russia's antidoping agency which it says allowed state sponsored drug use. russian agency called the report unprofessional and illogical. the fbi offered to help with the metrojet crash investigation. so far though there are no plans for any agents to head to egypt. right know investigators looking at whether there was a security breach at sharm el sheikh airport where the flight took off last month. we head to myanmar right now where opposition supporters are celebrating what looks to be a landslide victory in parliamentary elections. >> only a fraction of the results have been announced spokesman or aung san suu kyi projected the party won 80% of the vote nationwide. the leader of the military backed ruling party effectively conceded. >> ivan watson is on the line with the latest. ivan, this vote count is taking a lot longer than expected. how long before official results

are in? >> reporter: it could take days, john. and we do have to keep in mind that this is the first openly contested election, national election this country has seen in 25 years. so we may explain why it's taking so long. the official result we have right now, more than 400 parliamentary seats up for grabs. the main opposition party, the national league for democracy has won 78 seats. the ruling political party which is the backing of the military, usdp, has won five. other parties have also won five seats. now, aung san suu kyi's party is claiming a had side victory even though official results may be days away. however, that ruling political party has also announced that it really lost this election. it got battered at the polls on sunday. john? >> i guess, ivan, as we look at

the scenes of celebration there, as the supporters of aung san suu kyi celebrate this moment, is there any question at all that maybe once all the votes are in, everything is counted the military may say, no, we're not accepting this. we will not give up power in any way? >> it's important to note that the president of the country who himself a former military commander has said that whatever the results of the election are they will be respected. and so has top officials in the ruling political party. so if you take them at their word, then this should move forward. election observers who have been making statements now. the yup peen union election observer has taken care to point out that this election is not yet over. the vote counting, the final results is continuing. it's important to watch very closely how this unfolds and how

everybody will react as the final results continue to come trickling in. and part of the concern about the military of course is because in the last suu kyi, fairly democratic. in the 1990 it was the military that crushed the election results and then aung san suu kyi and many copatriots under arrest for years. that's why many people are very concerned about what the military could do in the coming days. >> it's not over until it's over. ivan watson on the line there. ivan, thank you. >> thanks. for the first time in more than a year israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu met with u.s. president barack obama. >> monday's meeting a the white house was their first face to face discussion since the iran nuclear deal which caused tension between the two countries. which is one year remaining in the official relationship, the pair are seeking common ground as they try to put the tie between their nations on a more

stable footing. >> five suspects accused of orchestrating the massacre of over 140 students at kenya's university in april are set to go on trial in a few hours in ney obserairob nairobi. >> the suspects have been called the five and linked to el shabab when they took responsibility for the attack. they've been charge with acts of terrorism and aiding attackers. robyn joins us now with the latest from the trial. robyn, good to have you with us. there have been a number of delays at the start of the proceedings. what's the reason for the latest one? >> reporter: well, proceedings were due to start yesterday, isha. and they were delayed because somali/english translator could not be found in time. however, there are a number of cases in the high court here in nairobi that were heard yesterday. ten witnesses were presented. they're due to make their statements today.

around 30 to be called in total from everyone ranging from students to professors, to police on the ground during that day of the attack. the five suspects, isha, one tanzan tanzanian national. prosecution says however the case will go ahead as planned today and they will start at around 11:00 a.m. local time with the witness testimonies. >> let me ask you this, robyn. is this trial being seen as big deal there in kenya? >> certainly, isha, the garissa attack was a big deal but you have seen the luster of this case wearing out as the months have gone by. it happened in very early april, on the first day of april, second day of april. and really when it happened it shook the country. second worst attack in kenya's history after the 1998 u.s. embassy bombings here in nairobi. and certainly it was a number of students, a number of teachers.

it was a big deal at the time but this case doesn't seem to be drawingal that much attention. perhaps once the witness testimony get under way it will pick up more momentum here on the ground in nairobi. however, the master attackers, people who plan this, the very much the thinking of kenyans, they are not participating in this trial and not caught. certainly disappointing and certainly in the international arena, too, the garissa attack was huge. the pope, in fact, spoke about the attack and that's one of the major reasons why he is visiting kenya at the end of this month. >> robrobyn, appreciate it. still to come on "cnn newsroom," seaworld has been under fire for its killer whale at takz. coming up next, the decision to end that show at least at one park. the possibility of a flare swas almost always on my mind.

thinking about what to avoid, where to go... and how to deal with my uc. to me, that was normal. until i talked to my doctor. she told me that humira helps people like me get uc under control and keep it under control when certain medications haven't worked well enough. 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. raise your expectations. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, control is possible. milk has 8 grams of high-quality protein.

which could be the difference between just living life. and milking it. start every day with the power of protein and milk life.

good news to kaehler whales everywhere. seaworld is going to phase out the famous killer whale show at the san diego park by the end of next year. >> new orca experience will replace the attraction which has been at the center of allegations for years. >> john, isha, the ceo of seaworld came out in an investors conference today and said that the orca show as we know it now, that live show, will be phased out in 2016. he said they were listening not to activists but to guests and the guests have said they wanted the orcas in a much more national environment nape didn't like the idea of orcas doing trained tricks. they wanted them to do things that seemed like it was much more in the wild. in 2017 the new show is supposed to be in a natural environment, heavy on information and conservation. perhaps p single biggest critic on capitol hill is adam schiff. the congressman said today that

he is somewhat skeptic of this decision by seaworld. let's take a listen. it's a positive step. it's still not going to be adequate if they're going to maintain this orcas the captivity. i like to see them partner with others and put an end to the program generally. >> schiff has introduced legislation that would prohibit breeding the orcas in captivity or capturing them for these types of orca shows. now, one note, the ceo of seaworld did say this is not an across the universe move in terms of this new show. that means it would not translate to similar parks in orlando and san antonio. now, after the documentary "black fish," huge backlash against seaworld but we also saw something else firsthand.

whale watching, especially here in southern california. it was way up this year. the captain of one ship telling us that you could hear children screaming and saying, they're free, they're free, they're out in the wild. we also noticed firsthand that time of excitement. so whale watching way up after "black fish." back to you now, john and isha. >> thanks for that report. now to northeastern china where people are struggling with record levels of smog. >> just on monday pollution in some parts more than 50 times the world health organization's recommendations. and now there are concerns such huge or high levels may, in fact, have an impact on other parts of the world. >> we are in los angeles bureau, principle investigator for nasa laboratory of institute of technology. welcome. thank you so much for joining us. let me ask you this, how much of

this smog, how much of these pollutants will end up over korea, tokyo, california? >> well, so, the actual amounts that we've really looked at is some of the changes that we've gotten from the air right above us. and that air above us we've seen really offset some of the changes in the decreases that we've gotten from reductions of pollution from california. that ozone or the particular case we're saying pollution, makes its way down into the u.s. and that can affect background concentrations. >> what we're saying are the efforts under way in california and the u.s. are being negatedfy pollution coming in from china? >> our measurements are showing that in an atmosphere right above us, between 10 to 3,000 feet, look over an airplane, that's the area we're looking at, that part we expected about 2% decrease in ozone from the

emissions per year, 2% over five years, that we expected to happen pendant and th happen. and that didn't happen. when we went through and looked at it in more detail. two major causes that made this happen. one was this ozone from above, ozone layer that protects us from ultravioletradiation. that came up higher than expected and 20% increase of emeigs missions from china using nasa satellite observations. that amount went up. like a speed lane, from china across by the winds and comes over the united states and particularly over the western u.s. and we found that amount was about 7% over that period over china but that led to a reduction or offsetting the are we dukzs we were expecting to see over the u.s. >> china might say and chinese authorities watching this conversation if they were to was, hang on, you're painting us out as the culprits but we're

victim, pollutants coming from india. >> yes. the role of pollution and particular air quality is not a local problem, it's a global problem. they can move by the winds from one location to the next. now, our study specifically looked at the role of china using the global satellite observations and we can pinpoint more towards china than say other regions but certainly pollution can move from one place to the next. we head into this climate change summit in december when everyone is going to put their best offers offen the table about what we're going to be doing about reducing greenhouse gas emissions? especially when you hear that china's emissions are a lot more than they thought they were? >> i think one of the challenges that china has is they are growing at such a rapid race that their pollutants have gone up. going into the same time, they didn't have to think about reducing the carbon. they have choices they have to make.

and those choices could improve air quality at the expense of climate or it could improve both climate and air quality at the same time. the decisions they make will be critical over the next five years and how that trajectory works. >> wow. it is getting -- the world is getting smaller and smaller and smaller. we are dependent upon everybody else. thank you. >> pleasure. create ideals conditions for the air in china. pedram has more on this. we were chatting last hour. this is a lot to do with the coal and burning and essentially the inversion layer that you get a this time of year? >> that's right. that's right. that's exactly what's happening. the surrounding terrain right there across china, too, mountainous terrain that traps pollutants like across the other parts of the world. work towards india, himalayas lock in some of the pollutants. it's showing you what we're dealing with. cool conditions.

a lot of people begin turning up the coal burning heating systems in their properties on the order of millions of people and a scenario becomes something like this where visibility becomes nonexistent or down to just the few meters. you look at this region of china, over the next couple of days, heavy haze koontz over that region of beijing, points to the south that we expect to remain extremely dangerous and officials are warning people of keeping that in mind over the next couple of days. 1950 to 1980, north of river, the chinese government actually distributed free coal for people who live north of that line. the temperature dropped below the freezing mark. studies show populations living in that area were experiencing pollution. some 55% higher than what was going on down in the south. on the northern tier populations began to see life expectancy drop of five or so years per person. so it shows you how the

particular lants and pollution can share a role. 360 million tons of coal is burnt over this part of world which is higher than the rest of the world combined. world health organization says 7 million people every single year lose their lives due to air quality issues. you do the math. another way to look at it is, take a commercial jet and four would fall out of the sky every single hour. that's how many people would lose their lives. equates to 7 million per year. we know several countries around the world, columbia and denmark have taken steps and they have energy firt housing, public transit has been in place across the two countries. you work your way pedestrian and cyclist quarters in copenhagen and denmark. some of the things that people in this part of the world have done to see an improvement in the air quality. again, you sneed need far larger areas especially across parts of asia to get in on some of these changes to make the improvements we need to see on a global

scale, guys. >> appreciate the insight. very, very interesting. >> pedram, thank you. there are new plans one of the world's most iconic airport terminals. we'll take you behind the scenes in new york to see what is in store. can a business have a mind? a subconscious. a knack for predicting the future.
