i'm paul gigot. hope to see you all here next week. the u.s. now says it released six detainees in what is the largest transfer from the prison in five years. welcome to "america's headquarters." i'm arthel neville. leland vittert has more now from washington. >> reporter: arthel, no question this has major political implications on two levels. first, it gets the obama administration closer to the magic 100 number where the president feels he can keep his campaign promise to close the guantanamo bay prison. second, at least one of the

detainees headed to uruguay is involved in a lawsuit of video of him being force-fed during a hunger strike to be released publicly. now that dynamic changes. this is the largest transfer of gitmo prisoners since 2009. and remember a significant number of those released have been known to head right back to the battlefield. uruguay is nestled along brazil and argentina. population more than 3 million. most of whom are christian. the cia world fact book doesn't break out a muslim population. and keep in mind, it's long-time president spent more than a decade under very harsh conditions in prison during the country's military rule. uruguay has long been known as a safehaven for those not wanted elsewhere in the world. after world war ii, a large number of nazis ended up in the south american country. arthel? >> leland vittert reporting from washington, thank you.

and jason orion was arrested back in july from the "pennsylvania post." both the state department and the government are calling for his release. and chaos in the streets of berkeley as protests turned violent near the berkeley university campus. protesters gathered to demonstrate against the police killings in missouri and in new york. >> reporter: three police officers were hurt, two went to the hospital. this is supposed to be another peaceful demonstration with about 300 to 400 people when it quickly spiraled out of control. according to local media, there was an initial group that broke

off from the big group that started the chaos in berkeley. they ended up vandalizing many squad cars and local businesses. >> the next thing you know, that window breaks, that window started breaking. these two windows break. >> a kid with a hammer threw liquids like he was going to start it on fire. >> reporter: police from different agencies quickly arrived to use tear gas and smoke bombs to break up the crowd. "the san francisco chronicle" says at one point the marchers were facing 100 police officers in riot gear to turn the crowd back. berkeley police say six people were arrested, five adults and one juvenile. the violence comes after peaceful protests across the country in the past couple of days after a grand jury decided not to indict a white new york police officer in the death of eric garner. a black man placed in a chokehold by the officer. now this all comes in the wake of ferguson, missouri.

we can tell you also that there were some protesters here but the protests were peaceful. >> thank you for that report. meantime today, new calls for action against look-a-like guns, this coming after the police shootings of two young people in ohio who were carrying imitation guns that look like the real thing. and now a state representative wants to require look-alike guns to be brightly colors or otherwise. and bill cassidy beats mary landrieu to become louisiana's next senator. >> it was an explanation mark that the people of louisiana put behind the rest of what america said on november 4th.

we don't like the direction president obama has taken our country and we wish to go in a different direction. and i'm privileged to represent these fine folks in louisiana as we place that explanation mark. >> after a hard-fought race, senator landrieu thanked supporters during a concession speech. >> we honor and accept the decision tonight, but i cannot tell you all, and my family, how proud we are to have made a big difference every day for many decades. and we will continue to do so. thank you. >> mary landrieu is the last high-ranking democrat to hold office in the deep south. and here is a british invasion. the duke and duchess of cambridge are due to arrive in new york city late this afternoon for the start of a three-day visit. and the big apple is rolling out the royal welcome mat.

it is live in the new york city newsroom with all the details. hey, brian. >> reporter: good afternoon. this is the first trip ever to new york city for both prince william and his wife kate. all eyes will be on princess kate during the three-day visit, particularly on what she's wearing and her baby bump. she's five months pregnant with her second child. sadly for royal fans, the couple's son prince george is not making the trip. >> it's a happy story with so many bad things going on in the world. americans really buy into the fairy tale and we love a success story. kate's transformation from regular girl to future queen is capturing everyone's imagination. >> now this visit is drawing comparisons to princess diana's first trip to the u.s. in 1985 where she visited washington, d.c. and took this iconic photo with john travolta at the white house. now, tomorrow prince william will make his way to washington, d.c. for his first trip to our

nation's capitol meeting with president obama at the white house. meanwhile in new york, the duchess will visit a local community and attend a basketball game. >> i've been excited for a long time. all my friends are excited. >> i looked into getting nets basketball tickets to the game they are supposedly going to be attending. i think it's great. >> william and kate are flying commercial, by the way, and staying at the famous hotel they were at before. and new york city mayor bill

de blasio plans to introduce legislation banning horse-drawn carriages from the big apple by 2016 sparking debate from all sides. rett jarrett has more on this story. >> reporter: the arkansas ch family came from australia to fulfill their dream. they and others are sad the carriage rides could soon be banished. and mall rights activists are darting in and out. >> reporter: horses are social animals that like what they did. >> it's amazing how he bought a bill and -- >> this industry cannot be regulated and the drivers do not look out for the best interest of the horses.

and it's high time that this city modernize. >> reporter: actor liam niessen offered support and wants the mayor to give them permits to drive green taxicabs. >> if i wanted to drive a cab, i would have done it now instead of 38 years on a horse. >> reporter: the bill still has to get through the city council. it's up clear if he has the vote. >> all right. greg jarrett reporting from new york city. well, coming up, is the democratic party at war with itself? what critics say is behind a widening divide in the party leadership. plus, remembering a moment that changed the course of history. the u.s. marking 73 years since the attack on pearl harbor with

where the deals are. the u.s. navy and national park service gathering to remember the attack on pearl harbor 73 years ago today. more than 250 people joining members of the military and world war ii veterans for an annual ceremony in hawaii. today's gathering is being called the last meeting for the "uss arizona" reunion association. the battleship san jose december 7, 1941, with more than 1100 men on board. republican congressman bill cassidy emerging victorious in last night's senate runoff in louisiana. the win further cementing the gop's hold on capitol hill and

many analysts are now pointing to democrats as the party at war with itself. let's bring in kevin surilly, a reporter for "the hill." >> hi, arthel. >> let me get your take on why k cassidy beat landrieu. >> it's not surprising senator landrieu lost. we all expected her to lose, but what is surprising is the margin of victory that he was defeated. she lost by ten points. that was a little bit surprising, but we always talk about the gop interfighting with the tea party left centerist republicans and all that, but probably one of the -- we don't talk about as much is the debate within the democratic party that's happening between president obama who some would argue is more centrist versus the elizabeth warren wing. the more progressive base. and the left is saying, you

know, we lost the midterms because we didn't run far enough to the west. so they are trying to pull the party to the left, which it's anyone's guess if that will work in the next cycle. >> if you're saying that the democratic party is in trouble when it comes to gavelizing its base, what do you think the mood should be or what they should do to get their base charged up when it comes to 2016? >> well, you know what is interesting, is that after the midterm election, a lot of folks in the far left said they wanted to pull the party to the left. and senator elizabeth warren got a promotion, so while the american people promoted the republicans in the midterms, the senator elizabeth warren got a promotion and is now a member of democratic leadership. so how she's going to message the democrats as they head into this new republican-krold congress, but also we head into

a 2015 presidential cycle that remains to be seen. but they say on issues like wall street reform and rhetoric, that's what american voters are looking for. that being said, you look at all the polls and obamacare, immigration, national security, they would seemingly tell a different story and that the public is really riding this anti-obama wave. >> that wave they are still riding high. what do you think republicans need to do to keep the wind in their party's sail? should they present an anti-democratic, anti-president obama position? >> well, you know, democrats have hit republicans saying you're just a party of no and you don't have a plan. they have the chance now with the majority of congress to put bills on the president's desk and present a plan for the

country. that being said, the first thing they have to do with the bell is don't shut down the government, right? and i think all the polls would say that the american people don't want another government shutdown. so this coming week they have to pass a bipartisan government bill. they have to do it by thursday at midnight and i do not want a second one to take place. >> i have a few more seconds but want to go back to something you said you were expecting with senator landrieu to lose. do you think that was the factor of blur or fatigue that the black voters in louisiana didn't work out that way?

>> i think it's a number of factors. democratic voters weren't as pumped up to get to the polls this time around and you're seeing that in the afric african-american voters and it's a midterm year and all of that. but i also think that republicans were really excited to make end rows in the south. we saw senator landrieu get elected to office, but it also shows a lot of democrats with this thumping down in louisiana that they can grab those seats back. so they are making end roads but the republicans are still able to dig their seats. >> thank you. >> do you have a favorite college football team? >> i went to penn state so i'm loyal to the nittany lions.

>> all right. stick around for my next story. i asked kevin because it's a huge day in california. the top college football playoffs, we'll tell you about the match-ups. plus, taking the long road on getting their degree. what a brand new study is finding about a vast majority of college students. my name is karen and i have diabetic nerve pain. it's progressive pain. first that feeling of numbness. then hot pins. almost like lightning bolts, hot strikes into my feet. so my doctor prescribed lyrica. the pain has been reduced and i feel better than i did before. [ male announcer ] it's known that diabetes damages nerves. lyrica is fda-approved to treat diabetic nerve pain. lyrica is not for everyone. it may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or, swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, changes in eyesight, including blurry vision,

muscle pain with fever, tired feeling or skin sores from diabetes. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. [ karen ] having less pain, that means everything to me. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor about lyrica today. it's specific treatment for diabetic nerve pain.

you. brenda buttner is here because we're going to talk about this now. a new study finding that a majority of college students are not earning their bachelor's degree in four years. the question is, how are they paying for that? the study finds 15% of students are borrowing the money while 12% are using their income and savings. the rest relying on grants and scholarships and getting help from relatives and friends. with her buckeye pom-poms, she's here. senior business correspondent brenda buttner and anchor of "bulls and bears." so i have a theory of why i think first of all that it's taking more than the four years to finish your bachelor's degree. i think that more students, because of the economy, because of the prices of tuition, they're having to have part-time jobs to help pay for their tuition. to thso they kind of have to

spread out the curriculum. >> very guiood point. that's especially true for community college students where only 5% graduate with an aa in two years. they have to work part time or full time. let's take a look at this map. 81% don't graduate in four years. that's not all because they have to work. some of them change majors, so they have to take extra classes. some of them take elective classes because they want to. there's what's known as the victory lap, which means you like to party, so you stay a couple of years. so there's a variety of factors that are making this. but the truth is, this math doesn't add up. it costs on average, if you go six years instead of four years, $168,000 more in lost wages and tuition fees. who can afford to pay for that? it's already too expensive. >> yes, it is. that's a lot of money. is there any help out there?

are the states or universities helping out? do they have programs? >> well, they're trying to get people to go from six to four. i mean, that's the real issue. you can get your degree in four years. so a number of states are taking some measures. virginia, for example, if you go over four years, in-state students have to pay out-of-state tuition for those extra two years. that's a real incentive. >> repeat that. >> in virginia, you have to pay, if you're an in-state student, you have to pay out-of-state tuition costs for the extra years. >> that's good incentive to get it done. >> and a number of states are doing things like helping students track how they get to their major, not to take electives that may not help them get to their major. in georgia, university of georgia says that has saved $4

million. a number of states are also capping the number of credits that are required to graduate in four years. so there's a lot going on. >> but that's not lessening the curriculum overall and the impact of the education you're getting. >> no, i don't think so. four years, i loved my four years. >> she wants to go back to college. all right. well, really good information. interesting study. you know, good to know. thanks, brenda. >> thank you. >> absolutely. want to let everybody know that you can catch brenda on "bulls and bears" every saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. eastern time right here on the fox news channel. and that's going to do it for us. stick around.
