that's if the u.s. did not meet their demands. >> u.s. commandos staged a desperate rescue attempt, but it did not end well. and brian ross is here with more. >> good morning, dan. luke somers and a second western hostage from south africa were both killed during the overnight operation by u.s. special force. secretary of defense chuck hagel this morning said they were murdered by the al qaeda captors as the raid was underway in central yemen in the shabwa province around 2:00 a.m. local time, 6:00 p.m. new york time. al qaeda had threatened to execute the 33-year-old photo journalist sometime today. and president obama authorized the rescue attempt as the deadline approached. >> basically i'm looking for any help that can get me out of this situation. i'm certain that my life is in danger. >> the raid came as his family issued an emotional plea to al qaeda to show mercy. u.s. special operations forces had tried to rescue him ten days ago, but found he had been moved two days before they arrived.

in today's mission, u.s. officials said at least six of the al qaeda terrorists holding the hostages captive were killed in the mission. one u.s. military source said somers and the second hostage died that their wounds after u.s. forces reached them, suggesting the terrorists shot them after the raid began. both were taken to the amphibious ship, uss island offshore. in a statement, secretary of state john kerry said the murder of somers is the reminder of the brutality of the al qaeda terrorists in yemen. and in a statement from the white house, president obama said he strongly condemns the barbaric murders of luke somers and offers his condolences to the family. >> you feel for the family. what do we know about the condition of his captivity and about the other person killed in the raid? >> he had been held for 14 months. in this raid overnight he was being held in a building in this province. u.s. authorities had spotted him. they knew it was high risk. but they had almost nothing to lose given the deadline he was going to be executed.

house has major discrepancies. that story giving the prestigious school, founded by thomas jefferson, a black eye. linsey davis has been covering the story from the very start. just the worst case scenario on the story. >> referee: it really is. good morning, paula. it's not just the uva fraternity implicated, now concluding that the allegations are untrue, jackie's friends are questioning her story because they say key details changed over time. for example, according to the "washington post," for the first time this week, jackie identified the name of the attacker to friends, and the student is not a member of phi kappa psi and claims he never met her. this morning reaction pouring in after after discrepancies in the claims of the gang rape claim that stunned the university of virginia. >> maybe some parts got twisted. >> reporter: "rolling stone" apologizing for never contacting the accused attackers to verify the story.

relying solely on information provided by jackie, the pseudonym of the alleged victim. that the woman accusing seven members of the fraternity of violent rape now is admitting that some of the details she told "rolling stone" may not be accurate. >> maybe the party wasn't there. maybe the person who attacked her wasn't a member of the fraternity at all. >> reporter: the paper reports the doubt cast on three key allegations. first, the fraternity denies any social event at the house the weekend of the alleged rape. second, the accuser says her rape was part of the fall pledging ritual. but the from fraternity says initiations only happen in the spring. third, according to "rolling stone," jackie says she was lured to the fraternity by someone who worked with her at the campus aquatic center, but they said none of the members worked there at that time. in a statement to abc news, university president teresa sullivan responding saying that the university remains first and foremost concerned with the care and support of our students.

and especially any survivor of sexual assault. the allegations sparked protests at the university weeks ago and fueled a closer look into campus culture. a movement campus sexual assault advocates plan to still support. >> i hope we continue to pursue the changes that people were upset about. there were a lot of men and women who came forward. jackie still has a truth in many ways. >> reporter: charlottesville police say our purpose is to find the truth in any matter. these articles do not change our focus moving forward. some of jackie's close friends say they believe something traumatic may have happened to jackie, maybe not the account in "rolling stone." >> the one big fear is this will scare other victims -- >> from coming forward, exactly. there's the potential for that. >> thank you very much. we appreciate it. turn now to the demonstrators hitting streets for the third-straight night. protests across america in the wake of the grand jury chokehold decision in new york as well as the decision in ferguson,

missouri. take a look at the map. this shows the places where twitter exploded across the world right after that ferguson grand jury came back on november 24th. >> and then again nine days later when the chokehold decision came in. since wednesday morning, there have been more than 1.6 million tweets with the #ericgarner, 631,000, #ican'tbreathe, and 35,000 tweets with hands up don't shoot. ron claiborne has the latest this morning. >> and paula and dan, the demonstrations showing no signs of letting up as the new york city police department is testing a device that a lot of people think could reduce the use of physical force by police. this, an -- a self-activated body camera that records what the police see and what they do. overnight, another round of demonstrations. over that grand jury decision not to charge white police officer daniel pantaleo in the death of eric garner last july.

all across the country, a chorus of outrage. >> don't shoot. >> reporter: in washington, d.c., hundreds of people assembled to stage a die in outside the white house. protesters taking to the streets from boston to california. in oakland, california, protesters shouting and shattering glass. gwen carr, eric garner's mother says she takes comfort from the outpouring of the demonstrations. >> magnificent. that warmed my heart. >> reporter: now in the wake of what happened on staten island, the nypd has a pilot program with 27 officers, including police in pantaleo's precinct, wear body cameras during arrests and in use of force incidents. >> a lot of good things happening in the nypd that will address a lot of the issues that the demonstrators are protesting about. >> get your hands out! >> reporter: but watch this body cam video of a salt lake city police officer gunning down a suspect. no charges were filed against the cop. supporters say body cams can

prevent police from crossing the line with criminal suspects because the cops will know they are being recorded. eric garner's mother isn't buying it. >> i think it's a waste of time. we had a video. a full video of my son's incident, and apparently it didn't sway the grand jury. >> reporter: but body cam proponents think that these devices can curb some police misbehavior. the city of rialto, california, with a population of 100,000, started using them in early 2012. and the first year the number of complaints against police dropped 88%, and use of force incidents dropped by nearly 60%. the police chief attributes it to the little devices. >> at least attribute it to some accountability there. >> that's what proponents believe. >> thanks, ron. >> a lot of anger in the country. also breaking overnight. horror on an amtrak train. passengers shocked when a man pulled out a knife and started stabbing people. with such close quarters, there was nowhere to run. the question this morning, were there signs that this suspect

chicago, i believe, who called our dispatch center to ask if officers could stand by when the train arrived. when the officers got here, the assaults were taking place. >> reporter: investigators held the train for hours with passengers still on board. amtrak said it helped arrange alternate transportation for 172 passengers. and the passengers on board the train waited for hours with the salvation army coming out to provide food and water. meanwhile, police did not release the name of the suspect or identify the victims as of now. and authorities are trying to find out the big question -- the answer to, why. >> yes, the big question. and fear followed by tedium for the passengers. michelle, thank you. back to ron for the look at the overnight breaking news. good morning again. >> well, good morning to you. fear followed by tedium sounds like my life. anyway, good morning. we begin with the manhunt in virginia beach, virginia, for two armed robbery suspects after they engaged in a wild shootout with police.

>> reporter: and each time brandishing firearms that police now know they are clearly willing to use. >> any time you walk into a bank and produce a handgun and stick it in someone's face and demand money, that's pretty violent. >> reporter: but this time, the alleged getaway driver captured. and this morning a $25,000 reward is being offered for the other two men still on the run and extremely dangerous. the injured police officer has been released from the hospital and is expected to recover. in virginia and here in neighboring d.c., december is the month that typically has the most bank robberies. investigators are putting local banks on alert this holiday season. ron. >> bazi kanani reporting from washington. and new developments in the bill cosby rape allegations. the l.a. police department launched an investigation into judy huth's claims that he molested her 40 years ago when she was 15 years old. huth is suing cosby for sexual battery.

the philippines in its path. the super powerful storm could cause catastrophic damage to the nation of more than 30 million people. and hamish macdonald is in the middle of it all. hamish. >> reporter: good morning. as we go to air, this storm is beginning to hit the coastline of the philippines. already half a million people have been evacuated. that could go as high as 2.5 million. the wind is really picking up right now. it will continue to build over the coming hours. we're standing right in the path of this storm. some 30 million people are in this area that's considered to be high risk that this typhoon will pass through throughout the course of the coming hours. we have had some time to prepare for this. people obviously keep the memory of super typhoon haiyan close to them. killed some 7,000 people and left 4 million people homeless. that was almost exactly one year ago. so the memory still very fresh. these will be the crucial hours. paula. >> hamish, thank you so much.

our thoughts with those folks in the path of that storm. and time for the national weather. rob marciano. >> the typhoon, this is less than 100 miles off the coastline. you saw the winds and the rain already lashing that coastline. it will do that for the next ten to 12 hours. land fall is imminent here. less than 100 miles offshore. 125 miles an hour winds. it's decreased in intensity and not quite haiyan. further north than haiyan was. so that's good. but the further north, the closer to manila come monday morning. by then it'll probably be a category one storm. but that track across the central philippines. a devastating storm regardless. 12 foot storm surge and high winds. you saw the rains there. and the rain across the northeast and colder in the interior sections. a wintery mix, 1 to 2 inches of slushy stuff. and behind this system, it's still mild. dry out tomorrow. today's going to be kind of a washout. speaking of washouts, it's wet across the west coast. we have one, two, actually three storms into san francisco and up

towards seattle with significant rains over the next couple >> everyone today is going to be at or above average temperature-wise. so it's a mild start -- >> you're always above average. just so you know. >> i love that. >> a nice way to say it. lay it on thick, man. >> anybody notice that sara haines is back? >> hi, sara haines. >> talk about above average. >> oh! >> until now, i guess. >> you are wearing marriage well. >> yes. >> you really are. >> just back from her honeymoon

into sunday morning in top secret and debate who those four teams should be. >> it's a real process where committee members can put a team up and then we discuss it. we debate it. we compare. we contrast. >> reporter: they have been ranking teams since october. and right now their top four are alabama, oregon, tcu and the only undefeated team in the nation, florida state. >> this decision for the selection committee, i think, will be impossible. i mean, i say that because it's all individuals voting on their preference and what they place an importance on. so it's kind of like a beauty contest. >> reporter: and the selection committee will be meeting tonight after all the games are played. they will reconvene in the morning and then at 12:30 eastern tomorrow, the final rankings will be released only on espn. so much anticipation, so much secrecy involved in this. >> it's a huge, huge weekend for college football fans. >> oregon ducks. >> you heard it here from ron claiborne. >> going out on a limb there,

don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. it earns you cash back now and cash back later. with 1% when you buy and 1% as you pay with two ways to earn on puchases, it makes a lot of other cards seem one-sided. we gdid he help pick it out?er. no, he's a cat.

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.
