support both mental sharpness and physical energy with berocca. proud sponsor of mind and body. good morning, everyone. i'm tamron hall. this is "newsnation." we began with breaking news right now a ground stop in effect at one of the busiest airports in the world. chicago east o'hare airport and also midway airport. both at a virtual yule stand still after fire broke out at a traffic control center in aurora, illinois. authorities are looking to the possibility that this fire was intentionally set. we're expecting an update from authorities in one hour. meantime the ground stop, as you can imagine, is causing a ripple effect across the country. travelers impacted almost

everywhere. tom costello covers aviation for is covering the latest developments from washington. >> it's a mess. we have somewhere in the neighborhood of 800 flights cancelled or delayed at o'hare and somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 cancelled or delays at midway. the police in aurora, illinois confirmed nbc's news reporting that the fire appears to be intentionally set by a contract employee. atf, fbi are on the scene. there is no suggestion that terrorism is involved here. it's a contract employee who, for some reason, set the fire at about 5:42 a.m., we believe. at that point firefighters responded. they found and village knit basement of the air traffic controller facility. who had a self-inflicted wound, not a gunshot wound. they immediately evacuated the center. it's called chicago center.

a facility that handles high altitude flights. it's not at tower at the airport itself. when the employees evacuated the center, they then had to declare a ground stop affecting midway and chicago o'hare. so through the morning here this caused a terrible situation. a backup and ripple effect not only in chicago but across the entire country because chicago o'hare is the busiest airport in the country right now. and so when you have this kind of a hub effected and the ripple effect stretching from the west coast to the east and international flights as well, you can see how it becomes quite significant it indeed. american airlines said right now no flights, at the moment, scheduled at the moment. we also have the same word from southwest airlines, saying that flight operations not likely to resume until noon central time at the earliest.

it could change. give you some perspective now, o'hare alone handles about 2200 flights a day. midway also handles a good chunk a day. when you have that many flights affected you can see how it's going to play out across the country. >> it's interesting, tom, you know the airports and aviation better tannihan anyone. it may be a catchup situation. american saying no flights. i'm supposed to take a flight in a couple of hours. they haven't updated their information on the website. i think it speaks to how they get the handle on just how much of an impact this will have on the travel day. when you mention 800 flights alone and united is based there. >> yeah. so you may be picking up a flight today in new york and headed to dallas? whenever you're heading, right? >> chicago. >> okay. well if you're heading to chicago good luck. >> that's what i'm saying. they're trying to catch up, it seems. getting the information, which is a reminder to call whenever you're flying to.

go ahead. >> let's say you're flying from dallas and miami and think i'm not going to be affected. except the plane you may have been to catch is come in to chicago. the plane is not position. you can see how to quickly ripples across the country. planes and crews out of position because they simply are missing all the connectivity here. it will, look at the map, tamron. it's astonishing. we take the map full again. look what is happening in the air space around chicago. nothing. the most, you know, you would have to go back and look at major nor easters in this country or hurricane katrina or hurricane sandy to recall the last time with no flight activity everything going to the north. in some case ourselves the great lakes or to the south. this is going a mess. being from denver i was reading the post. they are talking about the

impact in denver. this is going to stretch out all day. >> to your point of the extraordinary nature when you look at the map and the number of flights impacted by what is happening here. to the investigation, what more can you tell us regarding even security at this traffic center? i know authorities indicate it was an employee possibly involved in the incident if the fire was intentionally set. but it is such an important center. it is controlling chicago o'hare, one of the world's busiest and midway, which is busy. >> the center we should hasten to add handles flights at high altitude. most of the air space headed, for example, new york to denver, new york to l.a. back and forth. it handles the high altitude. it is not the control tower that sits actual on the ramp at the individual airport. but in some way it is handles a

greater volume of highway traffic and very fast highway traffic at that. these are supposed to be very secure facilities. all we can tell you is the police are saying it was a contract employee who, in their words, set this fire. >> thank you. we'll get more information throughout this hour as you pointed out an extraordinary day if you are flying. the british parliament is debating prime minister david cameron's call for britain to join the u.s.-led air strikes against isis but only in iraq not in syria. a vote is expected in the next hour. so far, france is the only european country joining the u.s. and conducting air strikes in iraq. france is considering expanding its air strikes to syria. meantime, the debate in the british parliament has been raging for five and a half hours. >> left unchecked we will face a terrorist caliphate on the

shores of the mediterranean and border a nato member. >> how long will the war last and when will mission creep start? >> let me answer that directly. it's going to be a mission that will take not just months but years. >> the question is, will what the prime minister and the government is proposing, will that be effective in destroying isis? the fact is this is about psycho pathic terrorists trying to kill us. whether we like it or not. they have already declared war on us. nbc news foreign correspondent keir simmons joins us live. getting the glimpse we see the extraordinary difference between how things take place on capitol hill in this country and what happens in the parliament. despite the back and forth we heard, cameron is expected to win the vote comfortably here at least regarding strikes in iraq.

>> that's right, tamron. i guess just to defend the american political system a little bit, if you like. as pointing out as you did in the beginning with than the british parliament is only debating whether or not the u.k. should be involved should be working with the u.s. on those air strikes against isis over iraq. they aren't even talking about the question of whether the u.k. should help in the air strikes against isis over syria. the reason the british prime minister said they're not going to do that or at least not now, there's no democratically elected syrian government to invite this intervention. so he says he would like to see the u.k. back and be involved with the u.s. in those air strikes over syria. but that's not being debated. in a way, you can say the u.k. is a long way behind the u.s. and other european countries like france and other regional allies.

not just highlight the global or western concern there is after afghanistan, or after iraq of whether or not intervening in the way is effective. you mentioned you heard one rule maker raising the question whether there will be mission creep. another question that keeps coming up in the many hour long debate how it's possible to intervene in a region that is so divided. how it's freezable feasible to outcome when there's so many different moving parts, if you like. one interesting point, the british prime minister did suggest this will also mean that british ground forces, a small number, might be able to be involved. that could be special forces. that could be helpful in the ongoing coalition campaign. >> all right. thank you very much for that information. we'll continue to follow the kwomts from parliament today.

today multiple u.s. law enforcement and intelligence officials say they have no reason to believe there is a credible threat against american subway systems. it comes after iraq's prime minister told reporters yesterday that he'd learned of an isis pot against subways in the u.s. and in paris. now some officials are calling that claim total bunk. that's a quote. but from coast to coast, and in between cities are adding extra security to reassure mass transit riders they are safe. another barbar barac -- executi. the u.n. human rights commissioner said the woman was dragged from her home by isis fighters last week in front of her husband and children and tortured for several days before being killed by a firing squad in a public square in the city of mosul. ayman mog zohyeldin joins us in

studio. it's the willingness to turn the behavior on people within iraq and other arab nations that some believe spurred those countries who joined the united states as allies in the united states to do that. >> yeah. if you look at what isis did with this woman. a human rights activist in front of her family, publicly after torturing her. and having a fighter pilot lead the mission inside syria. you get a sense of how back ward isis is as an organization. they don't live off an ideology. they live off promoting fear. it's a sad day, obviously, when things like this happen. keep in mind there's been since the summer several women who have been not only tortured and killed in this similar fashion many sexually abused, raped, and killed. >> what more do we know about the lawyer and what she put on facebook? >> as you said she was taken

from her home several weeks ago. she posted comments in which she criticized isis for what they did over the summer in destroying some of the mosques in mosul and iraq. it was a disturbing scene. they destroyed some of the holier muslim sites. anything for them that has anything historical value besides being a religious value was, for them, they couldn't stand and tolerate. they destroyed the mosque and she criticized them saying what they're doing is unislamic and destroying the heritage of iraq and syria. she paid ultimately for it. >> another round of air strikes taking place even with the continued air strikes. isis has now tortured and killed this woman excuse yesterday, the beheading yesterday as well. their savagery continues. when will we know if the air strikes worked? >> that's a million dollar question. i think the short answer is you'll hear from the pentagon and others saying we're

degrading their capability to fight and take new territory but not necessarily dislodging them from the areas they currently control in being able to strike the fear. it's going to be a long fight. every official i've spoken to said it's going to be a generational war. there's an ideological component they haven't begun to touch. >> thank you very much. i want to take you back to the breaking news in chicago. a fire at the faa facility causing a ground stop on flights in and out of chicago's o'hare and midway airports. police say that fire was intentionally set bay contract employee. we're expecting an update from authorities in less than an hour. but just quickly if we can show you this. we want to give you a glimpse how many flights are impacted by this. earlier we were able to show you these are the flights that across the united states right now affected by this fire at this control center in aurora,

illinois. right outside chicago. that control center, as tom costello pointed out, is what flights that are flying at the high altitude depend on to go in and out of the two important airports. huge problem. we'll continue to follow it. up next disturbing new details are emerging about the man arrested in the disappearance of a university of virginia student. the prior criminal allegations that cauost jesse matthew a college citizenship. new report show the video showing ray rice knocking out his then fiancè in the elevator was, in fact, sent to the nfl security team months ago. what the nfl security chief is saying about the new allegations. msnbc is the home for tomorrow's global citizens festival to help in extreme poverty. test your knowledge right now by going to glob

globalcitizens.msnbc.com. take the quiz to find out how much know. i've always loved exploring and looking for something better. that's the way i look at life. especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. my doctor told me about eliquis... for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin.

two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing. 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. this is charlie. his long day of doing it himself starts with back pain... and a choice. take 4 advil in a day or just 2 aleve for all day relief. honey, you did it!

we are back with an update on the investigation into the disappearance of missing uva student hannah graham. jesse matthew in custody in texas. authorities are working to extradite him back to virginia over the weekend. police say matthew is so far not cooperating with the investigation. nbc craig melvin has been covering from the case from the beginning. he has the latest from charlottesville. >> tamron, good morning. charlottesville police are in galveston texas right now preparing to bring back jesse matthew, we're told. we're also told he's not cooperating. that matthew has invoked his right to remain silent. police here in charlottesville

say they're redoubling their efforts to find hannah graham. >> you understand your rights as i read them to you? >> yes. >> jesse matthew, jr. in a galveston, texas. a nationwide manhunt ended when someone recognized him camping on a secluded beach. >> he was soft spoken. didn't seem to come across real tough or mean. >> matthew is expected back in charlottesville this weekend to face a judge monday morning. >> we don't know where hannah gram is. we have to find her. >> thursday searchers scoured hillside orchards and other areas. to find hannah police are trying to track matthew's movement. he was seen at the football game hours before she went missing and then seen in surveillance video, police say, with hannah but friends didn't report her missing for a day and a half. >> the block of time is very big, large, significant block of

time between the time that we know hannah graham disappeared and the time that disappearance was reported to us. we need to shrink that gap. it was another week before matthews showed up at police headquarters refusing to answer questions and eventually speeding off. >> if he was seen in the weeks to follow alone, we fled to know that information. if his demeanor or his attitude, his personality was different, we need to know that. >> law enforcement investigated an on campus sexual assault allegation against matthew in october of 2002 when he was a student at liberty university in nearby lynchburg. the attorney said new charges were filed. his lawyers prepare the case against him for graham's disappearance, a community refuses to give us. jesse matthew's attorney spoke up. the family is thankful and

leaved that the 32 suspect was found safe. that's the latest. >> thank you. new fallout in the ray rice scandal. a new report said the infamous video was sent to the nfl security chief months ago. the latest response from the nfl. plus this. >> even if you are born like this, you have a life. and you goat choose how you live it. >> "fix my life." she's overcome her own struggles including domestic violence now she's helping her fix what is broken in their lives including a man who fathered over 30 children. she is going to join me live. here is a look what is happening today friday, september 27th. right now in london the british parliament is debating prime minister's call to join the u.s. in air strikes against isis in iraq. a vote is expected in the next hour. the value voter summit, annual

meeting of social conservatives is underway. michele bachmann spoke moments ago. and chuck hagel and general martin dempsey will hold a news conference at the pentagon this afternoon. knows dinner tastes better when it's homemade. like chicken blanketed in golden breadcrumbs and wholesome sides with her signature touches. all topped with thick, homemade gravy. because dinner shouldn't take all day... just taste like it did.

overseas to london this weekend. a new report, once again, thrusting the league's domestic violence scandal back into the spotlight. a law enforcement officer said he sent the video to the nfl headquarters in april. he said it was addressed specifically to the nfl's chief security officer. that man's name is jeffrey miller. the ap report the official who spoke anonymously agreed or acknowledged he doesn't know if miller ever saw the dvd or even opened the package. miller has respond to the report saying i deny i received a copy of the video and had not watched it until made public on september 8th. the nation's sports editor joining me mow. you heard what the anonymous official said. we have a statement from miller. what do you say? >> well, i say that people who are defending roger goodell have

always said wait a minute. this is a person who wants to dot right thing, who has grown the league, and can lead the league forward on issue of more transparency when it comes to issues such as domestic violence. people who think that roger goodell should step down the office is profoundly incompetent or engaged in a cover up. frankly, if it's either of the things. he should not be in a job. now based on this report, this is a huge deal. because up until now the question was what official was the tape sent to? who know if it was sent to some underealing who had no access to goodell. there's plausible reasons to goodell got the tape. the fact it was sent to the head of security. whether or not he chose to watch the tape, that falls on the side of profound incompetence. it's another religion for go--

goodell to find employment. i provided a number for dispoeble cell phone and asked for conformation it was received. i knew there was a possibility mr. miller may not get the video. i hoped it would land in the right hands. the man running the nfl independent investigation may never be able to talk to this source, according to the ap. the individual said he doesn't want to talk to nfl investigators. obviously fearful, perhaps of repercussion. he doesn't trust nfl investigators. former fbi director was a partner at the law firm. it's the law firm that negotiated the nfl's nine figure deal with direct tv. the president of the baltimore ravens dick cass worked there for 30 years. the investigation is being overseen by two owners in the nfl. the owners of the giants and

steelers who have already said public their support for roger good zeal. the information is so ripe with conflict of interest that one could understand why a law official who has a sense of fairness and justice about this. enough so he sent the video tape into the nfl wants nothing to do with the investigation. >> all right. dave, thank you so much. we have breaking news we've been following out of chicago. we would love to talk to you but i think you hit the right notes. this morning outgoing attorney general holder vows to continue his work on equal rights after leaving his position. >> i have no intention of letting up. i have no intention of slowing down. >> our first read team said there are two different schools of thought about when to replace eric holder. senior political editor mark murray is up next.

we want to get you caught up on the breaking news out of chicago. police say the fire at a air-traffic control center that forced a ground stop at chicago's who main airports was intentionally set by a contract employee. we are live at o'hare airport. there are a lot of frustrated travelers. and john yang is on the phone from aurora and the facility where the fire broke out. kevin, let me start with you. i see the people behind you. >> it's pandemonium here. it's interesting, tamron. the skies over chicago are probably the quietest they've ever been. but here on the ground it is absolute pandemonium. people are lined up in this terminal, the american airlines terminal. more than 300 flights have been cancelled. all told in chicago more than 850 flights have been cancelled already today. and while there is a very, very little bit of good news, that is both united and american have started taking off from here but only about ten flights from american have taken off here so

far. the flights have to fly at the low old attitude until they leave the chicago area and can be picked up by air-traffic control in place the like minneapolis and fly on to their destination. we met a lot of people who are going to weddings and have family plans. all of these people are standing two, three, 400 people deep in a line trying to make alternate travel plans. there's a line to get out of here to find another airport, to rent a car. it's quite chaotic here on the ground on o'hare this morning. the situation at the aurora facility, the fire is obviously not under control. they have a man in custody. he's at the hospital. we're awaiting further details as to why he's now accused of setting this fire and trying to kill himself after wards. >> you mentioned american was able to get out about ten flights. united may be able to do a small trick trickle. what about incoming flights?

>> there have been a few incoming flights that have been allowed to land. many have been rerouted. i was just speaking to an american official a few seconds ago and she said the ones that are coming into land flights from places nearby like indianapolis, for example, they can fly at a lower altitude and come in under 10,000 feet. those flights are being handled by a different facility. >> incredible. thank you very much. let's go to john yang. he's outside the facility with the fire started. john, are you there? >> i am, tamron. we're right now watching a toe truck arri-- tow truck arrive ie parking lot. there's a car roped off, sort of segregated with police tape. there are officers routed. we presuchl, we don't know for certain. it's a car that contract employee accused of setting the

fire drove to work this morning. he is now in the hospital. we're told these wounds appear to be self-inflicted. we told nongunshot wounds. there's been a suggestion they are burns -- and the suggestion not clear whether they were intentional or accidental, but, you know, parking lot now the only activity is the police now loading this car on to a flat bed truck. of course, it's the facility has been evacuated. the parking lot is virtually empty of other employee's cars. but that's the situation here at aurora, tamron. >> and from what you're getting from investigators, as far as an just date will we get more information in a news conference soon? >> we hope so. we heard from the chief of police who gave the raw bare bones. they say it was not a terrorist act. they say it's nothing more than

a local incident involving a single contract worker at the faa center. and we're going to be hearing in about 259 minutes from the spokesman of a local atf, alcohol, tobacco, and firearms who will give us more. we can also tell you this is a joint investigation going on here. by the atf, the fbi, the local police and fire department. it's all hands on deck here at the aurora faa center. >> all right. thank you very much. john yang. we'll keep you up to date. time for the "newsnation" political postscript. president obama travelled to new york for the general assembly at the u.n. the secret service continued to deal with the fallout of the shocking security breach at the white house. yesterday the announcement that

attorney general eric holder is stepping down after six years of service. >> the united states of america will work with a broad coalition to dismantle this network of death. those who have joined isil should leave the battle field while they can. >> the moderate opposition remain syria's best hope. >> if you get over the fence then you have to understand that you could be killed. >> you certainly cannot allow an intruder to make it that far. if you have to kill the individual then you kill the individual. >> this is bittersweet but with his typical tdedication eric decided to stay on until i can nominate a predecessor. >> you have been there for me. i'm proud to call you my friend. >> and joining me now live nbc news senior political editor mark murray. what is your headline from this week? i think the general assumption

would be isis and air war taking place. is it also those who joined the united states and those still debating as we're watching with parliament? >> oh, absolutely. with parliament acting in britain right now, the question becomes why didn't the united states congress do the exact same thing? they're hitting the campaign trail and the midterm elections for a big issue. but parliament's big action on authorizing strikes within iraq brought up the question why the congress isn't doing the same. overall headline president obama's big speech at the u.n. the holder news, and my headline next week is all but midterm campaigning activity. we'll see big surrogates on the campaign trail. you have christie campaigning for scott walker in wisconsin. first lady michelle obama for scott walker's opponent, mary burke. a lot of campaign activity ramping up. >> we talked yesterday about eric holder's resignation. a short time ago he was at the

cbc congressional black caucus voter registration event vowing the commitment to civil rights will not end with his departure. let's play it. >> people have to understand something, barack obama is still the president of the united states. all right. he and i share -- i did the things he wanted me to do. we're partners. my departure will not have any impact on this administration's commit to the civil rights issue that has been the life of this president. working with the congressional black caucus, we're going to be as strong as we have ever been. my departure will not have any impact. >> he felt the need to reassure the public, the people, that his departure doesn't mean the end of that focus. >> that's right. the context was in the context of voting rights and certainly that. his people who have applauded him focussed on that. they don't want to see the obama administration retreating. he's made that assurance that whomever the president picks

will be someone who will carry out the same mission. that shouldn't be surprising. the democratic administration will not pick a republican or somebody who is going to disagree with the president on these matters. >> absolutely. have a great weekend. thank you so much p. coming up on "newsnation." >> the real reason i stayed was? >> because i didn't want to be alone. >> next up i'll talk with host of the hugely popular show "fix your life." we'll talk about domestic violence. why she said women stay in her abusive relationship. we'll talk about her visit to ferguson, missouri. and her thoughts on the adrian peterson debate over disciplining children. en thinkig about us ♪ ♪ and, uh, i just can't fight it anymore ♪ ♪ it's bundle time ♪ bundle

life" has been the hot topic of conversation. with her show in her fourth season. she's tackling serious issues that dominated issues that tackled the headlines. she opened up about her own experience with domestic violence in the wake of the nfl scandal which triggered a national conversation. she joining me now. >> i don't know where to start. when we found out you would be coming on the show, it was a laundry list of checklist. ly start with this ray rice start. it is still in the news. it is unresolved. and many people are still asking that question. why women stay. >> yeah. well, i stayed because i didn't believe i could go anywhere else. that i had anywhere else to go. i stayed because i didn't have the family support and the community support they needed. i stayed because i had been so ashamed to talk about it that nobody knew it was going on.

i didn't have the courage to speak about it. i stayed because i had three children by three different men and i thought nobody would want me. that's why i stayed. i can't speak for anyone else. >> the list goes on and on. i work with a group of women in the city. we have a shine a light program to bring awareness to domestic violence. to me, it doesn't matter why people stay. i wonder why people ask. how about can i help you? it has to be deep and painful. why are we still judging or victim shaming? >> the other thing is, i don't -- i have a different approach to. i don't think there are victims. i think there are participants. i don't think that we should be all upset about the ray rice story when she someone in the projects has been going through this forever and we can't get the police out fast enough to activate her order of protection. i don't know why shocked and

horrified. i believe the reason it exists is because we make the abused victim as opposed to making them a participant and we don't treat the abuser. it's like this cancer has been here forever and we keep talking about it and we're not treating the core of the disease. in order for there to be an abused, there must be an abuser. and it's a problem. it's an issue. it's a disease within the body. we're not going to end domestic violence until we get clear that the abuser needs help. >> listen, there are 15 million children who live in homes where abuse takes place. i think to your point, we should care and i have said it before about all victims of domestic violence. however, the ray rice situation not because he's a celebrity as much. there have been incidents where athletes have been charged with domestic violence. i think it really was a wakeup in some ways because it was on video. and people can't turn a blind eye to a picture or a video. >> we saw rihanna's face. >> yeah. >> we saw rihanna's face and

bought tickets to the con serlt. okay. i think what is happening now is that as much as the abused and the abuser being called we're being called to a new level of awareness and awakening. we have to take this seriously. beyonded the abused and the abuser. there are children who are watching just like me. i grew up in domestic violence and therefore it was acceptable and i got accommodated it in my own life. >> you and your new season meet with a wide range of people. you had some celebrities on. you focus, as your point, on everyday families dealing with this. one situation a man who has fathered 32 children. >> 34 children. >> 17 different women. and here is what happened when you tried to fix his life. >> what do you think when you see what you have created?

tell me what is going on. what is that? mr. jay? what is that? >> sick. i feel sick. my heart is broken. >> tell me about it. >> they was born broke. >> yeah, but even if you're born like this. you have a life and you get to choose how you live it. >> he chose a life where he wanted to father them. >> he grew up in a home where there was a domestic violence. he grew up in a home where there was domestic violence. he chose a life of irresponsibility. he chose a life of neglect. he chose a life of -- i don't know what the word is. where you would father 34 children with 17 different women and this week we do a special with the women asking them why

would they stay? why would they stay and what were they looking for? it's a conversation a public conversation about what women talk about at the table. buttable. now just like domestic abuse and child abuse, we have to talk about it publicly and have to begin to bring these things to the table. >> the child abuse is with adrian peterson's mother and him saying this is how i was raised. i'm doing what i was taught to do. >> i hear that and i understand it, but we also have to do it within reason. 200 and some odd pound football player interacting with his son at 4 years old, there has to be a place of reason. where in the society are we taught to deal with difficult emotions and how are we taught to process them? either don't get angry or get angry and strike out.

we are not taught how to be upset and angry appropriately. we are not taught. >> iianula fix my life, i can't wait to see more of this season. it's always exciting to talk to you. we'll be right back. especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. my doctor told me about eliquis... for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing. 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. beroccaaaaaaaaaaaa!

the stage is being set in central park for the huge global citizen festival tomorrow. with me now at the executive officer the global poverty project. thank you so much for doing this. we know that no doubt jay z and the roots and i'm most excited to meet you. this is an incredible opportunity. i have to ask you the one question so many said to me. they want to end poverty by 2013. >> 2o 30. >> if you were to leave it up to economic growth alone, you would have 700 million people living

in extreme poverty. if you have children have access to vaccines and immunizations so they don't die before 5 years old and access to clean drinking water and sanitation or food security or educate girls, they lift themselves out of extreme poverty and have the enabling environment to have the diminishing rate. in the last 25 years while i have been alive, extreme poverty has more than halved. when i was born in 1982, 52% lived in extreme poverty. now it's less than 20%. we would still get a downward trajectory, but that's where interjections are focusing. that's why we are here today. >> it's interesting that the model that you used for how people are able to attend the concert by volunteering or doing

something, people look at the young culture and say they are all selfie obsessed and something that is about them. this proves that is not the case. >> it's not the case. there were 250 student who is got up early to be a part of that summit because they want to take action. the whole 60,000 people. >> in 2030, how will we celebrate? i won't be around, i'm too old. when we hit 2030, the celebration. congratulations. this is phenomenal. i can't wait to participate. i will be on nbc for the nine
