notion that the west is at war with islam is an ugly lie. all of us, regardless of our faith, have a responsibility to reject it. >> ab important moment at a summit that's avoided using labels like islamic extremism. chris jansing has been following this summit. there are any substantive proposals coming out of this. >> reporter: i don't think from the beginning they were expecting anything to have a huge wow factor. there were a couple of things they wanted to do and time will tell how effective they are. one is reaffirm this coalition that the president first talked about substantively last fall when he was at the united nations and to make sure everyone was still on board and grow on that. and among the messages that he had, you touched on one of them but it's really the part of it that's controversial, that democrat and freedom and economic strength is really part of fighting the scourge of terror. there's also this new component,

which is really about social media because so much success has been had in recruitment by groups like isis in doing that. so he talked a lot about this new digital communications hub that the united states is putting together with the united arab em irates and it's really going to be looking at ways to counter what has been an incredibly successful social media strategy on the part of those terror groups. the second part is this virtual exchange where he hopes to bring together 1 million young people from around the world, the point of it being that you often fear things you don't understand and so that that communication can help to bring together some understanding but you know what the critics are saying they are saying there's a lot of talk and a lot of focus on things that we don't know will pay off, that if they do pay off will have only long term dividend but the president feels confident they are laying groundwork today and

talk continue on ways to come together to fight this terror threat. >> you mentioned the social media piece of this specifically, this has been an unprecedented showing of focus on that part of it. we've been digging behind the scenes at the social media companies and we'll have later on that later in the program. thanks, chris. in california, patients tea at a l.a. hospital are being warned they may be exposed to a nightmare bacteria a superbug. two patients have already died from this, perhaps infected by the deadly bacteria. more than 160 more are being warned -- watched for symptoms all underwent very common procedure, hallie jackson is following it at ucla medical center in l.a. >> reporter: 170 people potentially exposed to this superbug here at ucla are being offered free home testing kits by the hospital to see if

they've been infected with this bacteria. it's incredibly resistant to antibiotics and that's what makes it so dangerous. seven people have been infected with cre and may have contributed to the deaths of two patients. the cdc calls this a nightmare bug because it is linked to a particular piece of equipment used in endoscopy, even if they follow sisterlization procedures it's not enough to fully sterileize the scope. people who come down with problems from dirty scopes is a a fraction of those performed every year a half million. the fda says the risks must be weighed against the benefits of this possibly life saving procedure.

>> hall lee jackson from l.a. no one disputes that routh killed sniper chris kyle and chadlittlefield but his attorneys argue he's not guilty by reason of insanity. joining me from are the courthouse is charles hadlock. what have we heard from the defense so far in this case? >> reporter: ronan, the defense the trying to paint a picture of a man who is disturbed and haunted by a psychosis that drove him to the brink of killing two men because he didn't know what he was doing was wrong. that is the picture they are trying to paint. the prosecution admits that eddie ray routh had some mental issues perhaps, but they did not rise to the level of insanity perhaps that his -- his actions were driven by a use of drugs and alcohol that was testified

to in the trial. what they are trying to do is give the jury an option of sending this man away for the rest of his life in prison or the option of sending him away to a mental hospital for the rest of his life by finding him not guilty by reason of insanity. that's the decision that the jury will have to make. they will get this case perhaps as early as monday. ronan? >> charles hadlock from texas, thanks, charles. today in another very different courtroom attorneys for the surviving suspect in the boston bombings are asking for an appeals court to move that trial out of the city. the defense had tried and failed several times already to have the trial moved. but today lawyers for dzhokhar tsarnaev will argue it's a case for the first time in person to the u.s. court of appeals for the first circuit. the attorneys are arguing the extensive media coverage and ee megsal scars of the bombing make it impart shal to seat a jury. we'll get more detail on how

falls, that creates these absolutely gorgeous ice formations and we see it sting to the rocks and make an incredible sight. a lot of people coming out to visit the falls this time of year. we started at 3 degrees below zero. it will be even colder tomorrow. we've seen records broken in nashville, tennessee, ashville down through paducah, as we go into friday it's going to be even colder. we're going to break records that have stood for over 100 years and that's the kind of cold we're facing as we go into friday morning. there's no relief in sight. >> thanks dylan. there's a significant step emerge from one of the country's largest employers, walmart announcing that it's going to raise wages for a full half a million employees. that shopping giant has been widely criticized for continuing to pay many of its workers minimum wage. now it says 500,000 of those employees are going to get a bump to $9 an hour or more

we're waiting for an update from officials in franklin county, washington on a case that triggered reactions around the world. fatal shooting of antonio, unarmed and shot eight times by police and killed after allegedly throwing rocks at both police and cars at that intersection. this cell phone video of the incident has been viewed over 1.6 million times. a special investigative unit from a police force is looking into the incident. some say that's not enough. this week the county coroner opened an official inquest into the death. because of the outrage within the hispanic community saying it's a cover-up and accusing the police of investigating themselves it will make the findings transparent. joining us by phone from pasco

is the family's attorney. thank you, mr. trejo for doing this. i want to start talking about the family i understand his youngest daughter just turned 13 on sunday. >> yes, just a few days after her father was killed and as you can imagine quite traumatic for her. >> and how are they doing? what have they said to you? >> they are -- it's a very emotional time for them all of them. especially having seen the video online to see their father executed by the police officers is just shattering. >> now, the county coroner who opened this inquest claims the findings of the inquest will be transparent. you have a different take. you think this is actually giving the officers more special treatment. why is that? >> it's because we look at it objectively and see the number of times that the coroner in the past 20 years even con ducked an inquest, it has only been twice.

the coroner has come up publicly and stated that he intends on allowing a jury of six made up of the community to make the determination whether the shooting was just a fight or not. why do we have jury trials and criminal cases? we have juries set up to make that determination and determine whether or not a person is criminally culpable and that's precisely what should be taking place in this case. >> you would like to see this go before a jury? >> this needs to be before a jury and the officers need to be charged criminally and there's no need for a coroner's inquest. >> this is a very difficult case in terms of the actual facts. he did have a history of violent interactions with the police and history of drug use. in this particular incident officers claim he was throwing rocks, some of them the size of softballs at cars, ss if that was the case does that justify the use of deadly force? >> according to them it was one

rock at them. and does throwing a rock justify killing a man? when we look at the special investigation unit that's going on, the head sergeant came out and told the seattle times that the only focus of that investigation is determine whether or not at the time the officers unloaded their firearms on antonio, whether or not he had a rock in his hand. >> so you dispute the implication that he was actually throwing those rocks at cars endangering people? >> say he was, say he did that that happened before the officers even arrived. if you look at the full length video, they are chasing him across the street they are already firing shots at him. he crosses the crosswalk and runs down the side walk and faces the officers and before give any chance to surrender, they shoot him dead execution

style. >> we're showing the audience some of the images and we're stopping the video due to our nbc standards and practices right before they do shoot him there. one thing that's apparent, his arms are out and doesn't appear to be armed from what we can see from the video. >> and the next clips would be the three officers simultaneously unloading the firearms and shooting them dead. >> you filed the family's claim against the city $25 million is what they are asking for. it alleges that the pascoe police fosters o vert racial animus. >> that's one aspect of the claim. there's a variety of aspects about the claim, but the racial animus deals with the lack of cultural sensitivity and lack of cultural training that the pasco

police department has. even the press conferences and media briefings they are having even the one this afternoon it's going to be in english. the pvictim's family in this case are monolingual in the spanish language you would think they would be kind enough to have an interpreter to convey everything being said in the spanish language. >> they did not provide them with an interpreter? >> none whatsoever. >> we're waiting an update on it investigation, the pasco police turned this to a neighboring city's police department and the investigative unit there. are you satisfied with how the investigation is being conducted so far? >> no i'm not. in any manner whatsoever. it's a neighboring city all within the same county the frankly county president governs that same city and they all work together. the same judges state court

judges that sit over there, they sit over here in pasco and sit over in richland when necessary. it's the tri-cities all one in the same. >> this is an incredible difficult case so many in that community and indeed around the world, the president of mexico weighed in and have been watching closely. thank you for that update. we appreciate your time. and just ahead, the word is chocolate and school and social media. who do these things have in common? find out in our daily spike right after this.

tsarnaev is guilty. and 69% saying they have a personal connection to the case. the prosecution says we should point out that that's a selective and misleading reading of those questionnaires. a fight going on on venue change right now in our nbc news justice correspondent pete williams following all of it. right off the bat, is it in legal terms possible to get a fair trial in a city like boston on a case like this? >> the judges certainly think so. he has said three times that the defense is wrong and there couldn't be a fair trial, he says the voir dire process is working and screening out people who say they can't give an unfair -- a fair and honest and unbiased decision based on the facts. so that argument so far has been a losing one. it's also been a losing one in the court of appeals but this is the second time for the defense before the court of appeals and they say they have additional material from these juror questionnaires that bolsters their case. >> we should point out some of the numbers so far make an even

bleaker case at this point for the defense. the judge has -- the team across the board interviewed 219 potential jurors so far and judge identified 54 he already believes to be qualified. he's almost there essentially, is there any chance the defense prevailing? >> i would say not, i mean any chance, yes, i guess is the fair answer to the question. but last week when the court agreed to have this oral argument it pointed out it only takes one judge in a court of appeals to hear oral argument and you know it takes two to win before a three-judge panel. one isn't enough. it did seem from the oral argument today that the one judge who dissented still believes the defense is right it's going to be hard to be a fair trial here. it's always risky to base predictions solely on the questions the judge asked but did not appear there were two votes, and forget three.

>> and pete of course the judge must have at this point be looking back to the major precedence, where you have a national tragedy seared into people's consciousness and you have to i am panel a jury in the face of that. what are the lessons learned from those? >> the defense cites the oklahoma city bombing trial, it was actually held in denver. now the government says well yeah but there's a good reason there. the courthouse was blown up and both sides agree it should be moved but there question whether it should be held in oklahoma or somewhere else. the defense points out it had the huge impact. the government says on other hand look at the trial of jeffrey skilling, the executive of enron, it had a huge impact on the community in texas and the supreme court said you know that having the trial right there was just fine. the fact is that the supreme court ruling in the skilling case raised the bar even further. it's much harder to get now in the federal system. >> pete should this case have

even gone to trial. were plea bargains considered? is that something that was wanted? >> there were people in boston who believe they just want the trial to be over. there doesn't seem to be a huge ground swell of people who want to see dzhokhar tsarnaev have a trial. they just want it to be over. we believe we've been told i think it's accurate that the defense did offer to plead guilty but the justice department rejected that. and there are several reasons for that i think, one is a feeling of some in the prosecution team that if not this case then when would the federal death penalty be appropriate. here you have two people who planted bombs in a crowd of people that they could see the government argues. they knew which people would be effected by their bombs. it was a coldly calculated act of heinous violence and the second thing is there's very powerful evidence.

there's a videotape that shows the bomb being placed the second one which the government claims was placed by dzhokhar tsarnaev and people find it to be a searing experience. for those two reasons, they want to play this through to the end and see him in court. >> i just want to drive that home for the audience it's an extraordinary piece of this according to what you've heard, there was an opportunity to circumvent the trial, there was a plea bargain on offer? >> that's our understanding. the government never comments on these things and the defense lawyers wouldn't comment on this either but we've been told by sources familiar with what happened here that there was an offer to plead and that the got rejected it. >> we'll be seeing the echos of that as the trial rolls on. thanks pete. up next jihad, isis reportedly cranking out at new unprecedented number of tweets per day on the order of tens and thousands. twitter accounting being

report reveals how big the problem is finding 46,000 twitter accounts used by isis sympathizers during a three-month period last fall. also found as many as 90,000 tweets per day produced by the islamic state and producers. jan berger focuses on how extremists use social media in these ways. just how essential is social media for groups like isis? >> they really use social media for a wide variety of purposes, there are two deponents, one is on the ground and and north africa as well and the other is projecting the message out. the vision of its success which is distorted but it's very effectively presented online really affects how they attract foreign fighters and how they can inspire lone wolf terrorists

and have an impact on politics of countries that they shouldn't otherwise be able to influence. >> we've just obtained a draft of a letter from congressman ted powe and other lawmakers planning to sends this out next week, we're calling on twitter to add promoting terrorism to the defined list of violations which would enable twitter users to voluntarily flag accounts that post images and content promoting terrorism. do you think twitter and these other social media companies need to do more on their end? >> well each company, you know the biggest companies we're talking about, facebook youtube and twitter. each one has different kinds of practices and is more or less effective. facebook is pretty effective at keeping isis and other like minded groups from broadcasting their message but they use it very effectively to recruit. there's only so much you can do to affect how people one on one effect.

youtube is fast to remove jihadist content. they could be doing more but what they do is pretty effective. then twitter is out of all three of the bigger companies is the least enthusiastic about taking these guys down. that said since september, they have really stepped up what they are doing and they have suspended thousands of accounts. they are reducing the footprint of isis' network online and we're starting to get to a point where there's a tradeoff in the amount of intelligence you get from the network versus just allowing them to operate with i am ty. >> in write about it for our publications i wind up talking to a whole lot at social media companies and one of the obstacles was the practicality difficulties of this. there is so much extremist content cropping up so fast it's a hopeless game of whack a mole. >> well the paper we're going to be putting out in early march, i think should put to

rest some of the whack a mole discussion. the fact is it is possible to influence these networks you can degrade their performance and keep them from broadcasting their network. the methodology would empower an organization like twitter to probably knock off 70 80% of isis counts if they wanted to. i'm not necessarily endorsing that but i think pragmatically you could probably do that. if i can identify that many accounts from the outside with some reliability, what they can do on the inside is going to be much more powerful. they have complete access to data more data and access it more quickly. i'm sure they have analytics to handle it. >> one precedent i came to again and again in these conversations how they handle child pornography and copyright infringing, they have algorhythms and auto takedown of

the material. where do you draw the line? does twitter take down a beheading video but leave up an al baghdadi preaching violent jihad video? >> right, i think there's a valid comparison in terms of how much effort they put into this and how much they prioritize it. there is a legitimate discussion about political speech and politics overlap much more than terrorism and child pornography do. i think there are some concerns and i think that a policy that's better tuned to terrorism is probably logical. but at the same time, you know i'm going to pick on youtube for a minute. the first time somebody uploads a beheading video, it could be digital fingerprinting techniques that prevent it from being uploaded again. these are the kind of steps to take to go further. in the case of twitter, there's sort of a wide ranging array of issues that complicate what they are doing based on their own

preferences and they could certainly do more. but it is having an effect. what you don't want to do is completely drive these guys off of your platform so they go to the dark web or much more encrypted kinds of technology. >> it's also a boone for intelligence companies to have them continuing to chatter. there are a lot of reasons not to oust all of this conversation also there's a gray area where some of it is free speech. i do think the thing you hear over and over again is there's a not gray area. there are direct incitements to violence for which they could do more and could be taken down faster. there's rapidly changing practices on that. really appreciate it. >> thank you. >> if you think that social media platforms can and should do more to stop this violent extremism, there is something you can do. we're asking people to sign the counter extremism project's

petition, they are pressing social media companies directly. you can join the effort to hold twitter specifically responsible for quickly shutting down accounts that spread content directly radicalizing youth. you can let us know what you think. a lot of legitimate free speech questions but those gray areas don't excuse a lack of enforcement against the more direct calls for murder. more can be done you can help lend your voice. we'll track your responses and bring them to you on air. isis isn't only expanding on social media. that group is pushing deep into iraq as we speak. they are controlling 70 to 80% of anbar province in the eastern part of the country. our partners got a front row view of the fight. they embedded with the iraqi army on the edge of the battle and sent back this report. ♪

the great mysteries of the universe how did we get here? is there an afterlife? and lady sex stuff, how does it work? a pharmaceutical company called sprout say they have a little pink pill to treat female sexual

dysfunction. they announced this week they are submitting the pill to the fda for approval for the third time. and there's no guarantee it will pass this pass this time either. the fda approved 24 treatments for male sexual dysfunction but only one for women. women's groups are saying sex isn't to blame. "i fear that it's that cultural attitude that men's sexual health is ex-freedomly important but women's sexual health not so important." for more dr. jennifer burman, she's a medical specialist co-host of the emmy award winning show "the doctors." thank you for being here. are there legitimate medical reasons behind the fda's seeming reluctance? >> as you mentioned, there is one that's already fda approvaled for vaginal dryness. it's not that the fda is resistant for approving drugs to help sexual dysfunction in

women. i've been working in this field for 15 years. they do recognize it's an issue and a problem. safety efficacy is important. it's required to take daily. it's a once a day medication. it does change brain chemistry. dopamine levels in our brain. there are side effects of in. in terms of the efficacy satisfactory sexual events. compared to the placebo, presented to the fda, it was the increase of one more sexual satisfying event. if you weigh the risks and benefits of taking a daily medication that alters brain chemistry in addition of the potential side effects of nausea dizziness, fatigue, dry mouth, significant, which are significant. that's the schaj. >> but of course the equivalent male drugs like

viagra have lists of side effect effects. are we allowing men to -- is it about the efficacy? >> viagra is not taken daily. it's on an as-needed basis. the side effects are limit if taken properly and as prescribed. with the issue of men, it's different. the focus on men, fortunately, is -- okay increasing blood to the penis to have a satisfactory erecto erection. for women it's much more complicated. blood flow is part of it but also the subjective experience which this drug focuses on sexual desire or interest or openness or receptivity of being sexuality. that's something that's very difficult to quantify, changes from woman to woman. it puts things into a different perspective when we're trying to medicalize you know a condition that has significant emotional and relationship foundation to it. >> and is that difference in how

female and male sexual desire disorders are treated, that male sexualsaying a hydraulics problem, female sexual dysfunction is treated as a psychological one. is there sexism to that assumption or correct assumption? >> i'm a doctor and pioneer in this field of sexual medicine. i'm in no way says these problems are all in women's head. quite the contrary. and in fact men also have lobido problems as well but freet treated with something different than viagra. viagra is to maintain an erection. men with low sexual desire are treated with testosterone and other things. so it's -- you're comparing apples to oranges. this is not a female viagra. it is not a female viagra. it does something entirely different than what viagra does for men. so it works within the brain and central nervous system. not on the blood flow to the

genital area. so they're two entirely different things entirely different profiles entirely different side effects, entirely different risks. >> and do you not think that there's a place in the market for a similar physiological approach to treating female sexual disorder? >> 100%. and i do it daily in my practice. unfortunately, we're using medications that are off label because none are fda approved. i'm not happy about this either. i do understand -- i mean i'm not an advocate saying this isn't a problem, and there shouldn't be drugs. i'm treating women with drugs now off label because i don't have one that says -- >> wow. >> other than osfina. it is a challenge but something we have to deal with. safety is important as well as efficacyca et efficacy. there's a profound placebo effect in women. that's the challenge we're having and pharmaceutical companies are having to spend large amounts of money getting enough patients involved to get significant results. and we're getting close. this -- the book isn't closed.

we'll get there. just not today. >> what do you think the next big breakthrough is for women? >> you know i think i'd love to see testosterone approved in women. i think, you know johnson & johnson, procter & gamble have been working on that for a long time. testosterone plays a role in women. drugs that are nonhormonal. the drug is nonhormonal. there are concerns about that that helps to improve aspects of sexual desire and libido. it's going to be a marttter of time. these women were only taking it for 24 months. over a period of years, what happens when you take a medication that alters brain chemistry? i'd like to know that before i prescribe it. >> a lot of excited chatter in the newsroom. our control room is happy with developments to come. dr. jennifer burman. >> thank you for having me. transparency, chocolate, venue, jihad, viagra. those are five words from this program ripped straight from today's headlines.

rebuke from senate armed services committee chairman john mccain who tweeted, "the notion that radical islam isn't at war with the west is an ugly lie." speaking earlier today, secretary of state john kerry commented on a separate controversy regarding remarks by a state department spokesperson who told msnbc's chris matthews on monday that the u.s. can't kill its way out of this conflict. >> there's been a silly debate in the media the last days about what you have to do. you have to do everything. you have to take the people off the battlefield who are there today, but you're kind of stupid if all you do is do that and don't prevent more people from going to the battlefield. >> msnbc -- i mean nbc's kristen welker joins me live from the white house. all right. this seems to have distracted a lot of attention away from that summit. how is the white house responding to all of the dustup over language? >> reporter: well, look i think it's significant that you have president obama responding to
