>> it's the end of week one. this is my favorite. and i already feel my jeans fitting better. i am having so much fun, and i just feel like i could conquer the world. my first 30 days of cize, i feel completely in a dream. you know, i'm 48 years old, never taken any dance lessons. at first, i would go, "i'm never gonna get this. this is hard." but it's an addiction where you're like, "no, i'm gonna get this." >> i keep adding things. but i promise you can do it. stay in it. >> and now it's just like, you know, i have it. i got it. i remember it. i realize that in dance, there's no judgement. usually, when you do other programs, you're so obsessed with the scale. this was just, like, showing up, having fun, and you're like, "oh, oh. i've lost weight." i didn't even realize i lost that much weight. 13 pounds -- that's amazing. i feel so slim and slender and

with cize, not only did i get results, my arms got completely, like, chiseled. like, i love my arms. like, i just want to flex all day, right? and i was just dancing. and my children have joined in. they want to do it, and it becomes this big family affair. i continue to celebrate life by just dancing. >> one thing that is important that people need to know out there is that in this show, they're gonna see a test group of people that went through so many different emotions and feelings about the program. but all of them have one thing in common -- they had to start. this is not an exercise class. yes, we're gonna lose weight. yes, we're gonna burn calories. yes, you're gonna sweat. but it's called cize, the end of exercise, because we are throwing exercise away, and we are gonna live. because the pounds that you lose are going to not only look good on you, but you're gonna feel like an enhanced version of you. >> i've always struggled with my weight, and then i found cize.

i did not do one push-up. this is dance. i think, for me, the results were better because i was having fun. >> and when we say "cize," it's not about a 2/4 or 11/12 or a size-34 waist. it's about living in the size that you have now so you can cize it up to bring the weight down. >> 30 days later, to see this transformation through cize, it not only gave me the body that i've always wanted, i love the fact that i can get on the dance floor and not just be, like, going side to side. like, i actually have some sass. >> when you start to get the movement, all i want you to do is live in it, make it your own. there you go. >> i loved the music in every single cize routine. >> i kind of describe it as, like, six different flavors. >> i designed the program in a way that the choreography is a progression. "crazy 8's" is a very simple structure where you repeat the same movements and kind of get your body comfortable. and they're movements you're gonna see throughout the entire program. >> that one gave me confidence,

and it reassured me that, "okay, i might not be a hip-hop dancer but, hey, i can get through it." >> dance, dance dance, dance, dance, dance >> then you move on to "you got this." >> i really felt like i got it, because those same moves that were in "crazy 8's" show up in that routine, but with a different flavor. >> i like the song "treasure" because i'm the treasure. [ laughs ] >> i mastered it, and i was so happy, and then i would just be like treasure >> treasure that is what you are >> and then you go to "full out," which is the song "lose my breath." when the drums come into that song, you just, like -- you know it's about to go off. >> can you keep up? baby boy make me lose my breath >> i was losing my breath. it's fun. it gets you moving really hard. >> bam. it goes. you just go into it. >> can you keep up? baby boy >> and then "in the pocket." i like "problem" 'cause it, like, stays up here, like... >> you kind of can get your sexy on with that one a little bit. >> i want you-hoo-hoo tell me, tell me, baby >> when you're doing all the funky hands moves with it... it felt pretty badass.

can i say badass? yeah. >> and then by the time you get to "go for it" and it's "pass that dutch," now you're like, "okay, i'm getting better at the intricate movements, and now i'm hitting it." >> it's just good, grounded hip-hop. >> okay, i'm a 47-year-old mother of two. jama. doo, doo, doo, ka, ka, ka >> it's kind of like, if you were in a dance battle, you could use "pass that dutch" and beat anybody. >> put it down for the streets >> that's right pass that dutch >> and then you get to "livin' in the 8s," to "chandelier," and i slowed the choreography down. >> that routine... [ sighs ] it's just pure emotion. >> i just felt beautiful doing it. >> it just kind of took all those worries away in the regular day, which is what a workout is supposed to do. >> i'm gonna fly like a bird through the night >> i wake up and i'm like, "yes! what routine am i gonna do today?" >> so, of the routines we learned from cize, which one was my favorite? hmm... i actually like -- [ sighs ] see, that's tough, so...

[ sighs ] dang it. >> stop exercising, people. it's time to start dancing. welcome to cize. >> announcer: cize gives you everything you need to master shaun's routines right at home, all for just three payments of only $19.95. >> every single day, i look forward to the workouts. i don't want this to end. >> you'll be so focused on the moves you won't believe how easy the weight will come off. >> i was focused on the dance. weight. it transformed my body. >> after doing cize, i am a dancer. it's just fun, and that's why it really worked for me. >> announcer: that's right. call now and start dancing for just three low payments of $19.95. >> for only $60, you couldn't even go to a couple dance classes for that. >> you have a dance instructor, one of the best, in your living room every day teaching you the steps. the value is incredible. >> announcer: and you might want to order now, because cize also includes four free bonuses. you get the cize dance calendars, the "get started" guide, the "eat up!" guide, and "8-count abs." and cize comes with a full 30-day money-back guarantee.

>> if you don't master these routines in 30 days, send it back. it's as easy as that. >> announcer: call in the next 12 minutes and we'll upgrade your order to express delivery, a $15 value, for free, so you can start dancing in three to six business days, guaranteed. >> from the dvds to the "eat up!" guide, there are so many tools and resources in the program that allowed me to have the results that i had. cize is the end of exercise. >> so cize it up and size your body down, and say goodbye to exercise forever. >> announcer: so call this number or go online and get everything you see here for just three payments of $19.95. >> initially, when i saw the commercials for cize, i was like, "oh, here we go. another dance thing." and i realized that inner voice that was going on was insecurity, because i really

have it ingrained in me that i can't dance. oh, snap. >> i found kole to be extremely interesting, to see her fear when she walked into the room on the first day. i was just like, "oh, my god," like, "she's afraid to dance." >> it's intense being in something you're afraid of, so i'm excited to work through it and have fun in my body now. i actually always knew that i was longing to dance. but when you reach a certain point, it's like, "how do you start?" the way that the movements are broken down is not that they're dance moves, but that they're daily activities, that you're drinking a glass of water, or tripping. >> trip. come on. you've got it. >> i'm a dancer now, and there is no way i'm letting cize go. you know, i didn't go into this like, "wow, i can't wait to lose all this weight i've been carrying." i came into it 'cause i wanted to learn how to dance. so, for me, the weight loss was the by-product. in 30 days, i lost 21 pounds. i wasn't stressed about if i was working hard enough or fast enough. i just had fun.

i have never felt better in my entire life. and it just keeps getting better. >> when i hear the word exercise, i think hard-core work. >> exercise, i associate with running. >> i think of push-ups, i think of countless squats. >> intense, sacrifice. >> gym memberships and machines. >> doing push-ups. >> crunches. >> killing your body. >> the gym is a little intimidating. >> burpees, doing mountain climbers. who could do that at 205 pounds? >> i mean, i personally associate exercise with getting to the end of a workout and not wanting to ever work out again. [ laughs ] >> stop exercising, people. it's time to start dancing. welcome to cize. >> cize is not exercise. >> the feeling good happened workout. >> cize doesn't feel like work at all. it feels like a treat. >> with cize, i want to learn more. and i have never lost this much weight. it's because i was doing something that i really enjoyed, something that was fun. >> the dvd's over and i'm like,

one?" >> it's dancing, it's fun. it's like having a party. i'm just, like, excited to, like, jump out of bed, literally sweat my butt off every single day. it's so enjoyable. >> i had fun getting to a goal that i didn't even think was reachable. >> no push-ups and no power jumps. this is the end of exercise. >> no weights, no push-ups. this program is where it's at. >> did not do one push-up. i was dancing. >> i just put in the dvd and i just let go. the music is hot. make me move to it. >> shaun t. dance results, like, you can't get anything better than that. >> in cize, i always look forward to the next day, which is messed up. [ laughs ] >> when you're waking up to do something you love every single day, why do you need to go step on a scale? 'cause that's why people step on a scale. they're like, "i'm gonna step on a scale right now, and this is gonna be the start of my day." but what happens if you start your day by just moving and not worrying about the scale? >> my name is marcey, and i want to lose 50 pounds.

this is why, when i did insanity, when i did t25, it was so hard. i didn't stick with it. i know doing the dance workout is not gonna feel like a workout. this is perfect for me. and my goal is i will be able to fit into this jumpsuit by the summertime. before i started cize, i tried to lose weight plenty of times. i've done different programs. i wasn't satisfied because i don't like working out. until cize came in. i'm cizing it up. here we go. i don't look at it as exercise. it was just like getting up and i'm going to a party, and i'm gonna hang out with shaun, and we're gonna dance and do these routines. and i just felt so alive. i didn't realize how much the weight was just coming off so easily and so fast because i was enjoying what i was doing. being 52 and losing 62 pounds and 72 inches is shocking for me. i feel like i shaved 20 years

off of my life. for 60 bucks, to get this result is a steal. i got my mojo back. i can go out now and feel more confident. for those women out there in your 50s and up that let weight hold you back from life... get your life back. 'cause i got mine. >> announcer: stop exercising and start dancing with cize, the end of exercise. shaun's gonna teach you how to dance right in your own home. and the added bonus? the weight is gonna fall off. >> i finally found a program i can do in my house, and it showed results. >> announcer: you'll learn six routines in 30 days, all set to awesome music. you start with "crazy 8's." learn shaun's signature moves choreographed to the song "hands in the air." before long, you'll master this routine and be ready to move on to "you got this," a cize routine which has already become an internet sensation, with people posting over 40,000 videos online cizing it up to the song "treasure." then you move on to "full out," and get sweaty to "lose my breath."

and then you're ready for "in the pocket," and you'll cize it up to "problem." with the fifth routine, shaun changes up the style and pace with "go for it." >> it's kind of like, if you were in a dance battle, you could use "pass that dutch" and beat anybody. >> announcer: and, finally, you graduate from your dance lessons with "livin' in the 8s." >> i feel like i'm actually in a music video, so i'm like, "yes!" >> from the chandelier >> announcer: get ready to order, because this limited-time offer includes four free bonuses -- you get the cize dance calendars that show you which routine to do each day. you also get the size guidebook, which maps out the program step by step. and we're including "eat up!" a perfectly-portioned easy-to-follow weight-loss guide that lets you eat the foods you love and still get great results. >> the "eat up!" guide was a very important tool to my weight loss. it re-trained me how to eat. i lost 30 pounds cizing it up. >> announcer: and you also get "8-count abs," a choreographed ab routine that takes you just 10 minutes. >> i have a six pack that i've never had before, and i feel awesome. >> announcer: you could spend over $100 on a monthly gym

the preceding was a paid presentation for cize, brought

stores, elaine, comparing prices. >> carter, you mentioned cars are going to be a big seller this season. what else? >> reporter: behind cars any apple products and then star wars merchandise is expected to be a bigseller, and there is a lot of it, even a darth vader toaster. >> all right. carter evans among the throngs of shoppers tonight. carter, thank you. getting to the store today was a problem in some places as the storm that dumped snow in the

west moved into the great plains. driving was difficult as snow covered roads in nebraska, northwest of omaha. winter storm warnings were up in much of that state, as well as iowa. there is concern freezing rain could bring down power lines. in chicago, holiday shopping downtown could be affected tomorrow by a large protest over the shooting death of a black teenager by a white police officer. the past two nights have seen small, mostly peaceful demonstrations. this followed the release of a video showing officer jason van dyke shooting laquan mcdonald 16 times. van dyke has been charged with murder. in minneapolis, protesters and community groups shared thanksgiving dinner outside a police station. the protesters have been camped out there for more than a week after 24-year-old jamar clark was shot and killed during a struggle with police. some witnesses said clark was handcuffed at the time.

the police deny that. in africa, the pope calls for peace between christians and muslims. and how the world's biggest drone maker plans to stop isis from using them on the battlefield. the "cbs overnight news" will be

pope francis is preaching a message of peace on his first visit to africa. he said his first mass there today in kenya. he'll also be making stops in uganda and the central african republic. allen pizzey is with the pope in nairobi. >> reporter: the traditional african welcome was a joyous reflection of how pope francis' message is being received. a kenyan newspaper summed it up as "our politicians could learn a thing or two from him." on his first trip to africa, francis urged kenyans to help bridge the increasingly violent divisions between muslims and christians. all too often, he said, young people are being radicalized in the name of religion to sow discord and fear.

islamic extremists which the al-shabaab militia slaughtered 147 mainly christian students at a university earlier this year attack on a shopping mall here in 2013. francis called the attacks barbarous, and said that god's name must never be used to justify hatred and violence. there are fears that the pope himself could be a prime target. some 10,000 police and army troops are on duty. rain turned the grounds where today's mass was held into a quagmire, but rain is also considered a blessing here, so it didn't dampen the mood. and using words that will resonate with the deeply conservative african catholic church, francis called on kenyans to resist practices which foster arrogance in men, hurt or demean women, and threaten the life of the innocent unborn. pope francis is also using this trip to push his message of concern for the environment, but in a region wracked by ethnic and interreligious violence, it

is inevitably his calls for peace and reconciliation that strike the most vibrant chord. allen pizzey, cbs news, nairobi. >> drone sales are taking off. so how do you prevent terrorists from using them? that's next. so how ya doing? enough pressure in here for ya? ugh. my sinuses are killing me. yeah...just wait 'til we hit ten thousand feet. i'm gonna take mucinex sinus-max. too late, we're about to take off. these dissolve fast. they're new liquid gels. and you're coming with me... wait, what?! you realize i have gold status? do i still get the miles? new mucinex sinus-max liquid gels. dissolves fast to unleash max strength medicine.

start the relief. ditch the misery.

find a drone beneath their christmas tree, but they're not made at the north pole. seth doane visited the world's largest drone manufacturer. >> reporter: these days, drones are being used to survey farmers' fields or a football team's defensive line, and are replacing humans in high-risk tasks. and one company, dji, produces 70% of all civilian drones in the world in shenzhen, china. >> we're an international company. >> reporter: that china part is not highlighted by dji public relations director michael perry. there are americans who are concerned when every other chinese company that controls this much of the market. >> we have an international footprint that reflects our international character. >> reporter: but dji now has to contend with islamic militants using drones on the battlefield. is there a moral dilemma when your drone is being used by terrorists like isis?

we think about, but as we're going along, we're looking at options for optimizing it specifically for creativity and innovation. >> reporter: that's where product designer paul pan comes in. >> basically, when you make a product you never want to handicap the product. >> reporter: pan explained how using gps technology, dji can program drones so they cannot fly near sensitive sites, but security concerns were raised when a dji drone landed near the white house in january. is it bad for business when one of your drones shows up on the white house lawn? >> it is bad in that we feel that there is only so much that we can do to control the aircraft, but then it's really coming down to education, what you should and shouldn't do. >> reporter: regulators are playing catch-up with drone technology. what do you really wish a drone could do that it just can't do? >> if i can take the flying camera and have it autonomously do its own thing.

don't bump into anything" that would be the ultimate product. >> reporter: seth doane, cbs news, shenzhen, china. >> this might be a fun game to they're tossing around.

this is not what you want to see at the airport. alaska airlines workers were seen throwing luggage at the san jose airport on tuesday -- in what seemed to be a competition for the longest toss. turns out, the suitcase did not belong to a passenger. it was filled with magazines. still, the airline said they shouldn't have done it at the airport. upon further review, this may not have been the best idea. the washington redskins tweeted

logo. many native american groups have been pushing for the team to change its name. one follower called the team the most tone deaf company in america. in his radio address today, president obama said thanksgiving is a day for food and football. it was also a day to say thank you. he telephoned 10 members of the military this morning from the oval office to wish them a happy holiday and thank them for their service. when it was time for dinner at the white house, the menu included turkey, ham, and prime rib. two kinds of stuffing and potatoes. a variety of veggies, mac and cheese, and six pies. we'll take them alphabetically. apple, banana, cherry, coconut, pecan, and pumpkin. in case you're wondering, presidents pay for their food at the white house. yesterday, the president gave two turkeys a second chance. now some fruits and vegetables

finally tonight, in this land of plenty, plenty goes to waste. a lot of produce is discarded simply because it is, well, odd looking. a california business came up with the perfect solution. here's john blackstone. >> reporter: when it's packing day at a company called imperfect produce, things that are particularly imperfect get special attention. let's just take a look at this. >> that's a fun one. legs crossed there. >> reporter: the weirdest are set aside for photographer roopam lumia. >> i got the persimmon that has a little bit of a nose. >> reporter: her photos are posted online, building a social media following. it's a harvest of fame. you call these your celebrities. >> these are our imperfect

celebrities and what we like to call them are the stars of the show. >> reporter: these stars are part of an effort to convince food buyers that what counts is how something tastes, not how it looks. >> reporter: that little imperfection, retailers and food service will reject it. >> reporter: ron clark is cofounder of imperfect produce, which buys fruits and vegetables that farmers can't sell to supermarkets because it isn't perfect. >> look, look, what's wrong? just that little imperfection means you're not going to get to eat this. >> reporter: if not for clark's company, much of the food would end up at the dump. each year, some six billion pounds of food farmers can't sell or give away to food banks ends up as waste. >> it's always amazed me how much has been thrown away and i've always had, you know, a soft spot for trying to feed more people with less. >> reporter: imperfect produce has been in business for just four months.

already it sells more than 10,000 pounds a week to customers who pay about half the usual price for taking something unusual. i would think if you found that in a supermarket, somebody would say, "wow, look at that!" >> it's a piece of art, made by farmers. >> reporter: it turns out the old adage that beauty is only skin deep is equally true for a potato. john blackstone, cbs news, emeryville, california. that's the "overnight news" for this friday. for some of you, the news continues. for others, check back with us a little later for the morning news and "cbs this morning." from the broadcast center in new york city, i'm elaine quijano. -- captions by vitac --

this is the "cbs overnight news." >> welcome to the "overnight news." i'm jericka duncan. germany is joining the battle against the islamic state. prime minister angela merkel wants to send reconnaissance aircraft, tanker planes and warships to aid the international coalition. the plan still has to be approved by the german parliament, but that's expected within the next few days. french president francois hollande is in moscow for meetings with russian president vladamir putin. putin said he's ready to cooperate with france and the u.s. in the battle against the islamic state but says he's still waiting for an apology from turkey for shooting down a russian fighter plane. turkey's president said he telephoned putin, who wouldn't

take the call. holly williams reports from istanbul. >> reporter: both turkey and russia are pushing their version of events, following the shooting down of that russian warplane. turkey said the plane strayed just over a mile into its air space for just 17 seconds. and now turkey has released this muffled and distorted audio recording, which it says is one of ten warnings given to the russian pilots. [ speaking in foreign language ] the russian pilot who survived has told joumpbl -- journalists he did not receive any warnings and did not cross into turkish air space. now, this looked like a very dangerous situation just 24 hours ago, with one of the russian pilots killed and the russian president, vladamir putin, threatening serious consequences. but it's now clear that all of the parties involved in this drama, including turkey's nato ally, the u.s., want to avoid a conflict.

but that doesn't solve the underlying problem, which is the syrian civil war. the u.s., russia, turkey, iran, and other countries have all taken sides in syria's war. and now they're being drawn deeper into the conflict and perhaps closer to a conflict with each other. the hunt for two suspects in continues across europe. but in the belgian capital things are returning to normal. debora patta reports from brussels. >> reporter: for the fifth day, police raided neighborhoods around the capital, part of the ongoing investigation into the paris attacks which killed 130. and tonight, one person was arrested in the raids. the terror threat in brussels has been reduced to level three, which means an attack is still possible, but no longer imminent. brussels has been on virtual lockdown for the past week. schools were closed.

public gatherings were banned. andre, the former head of the government's intelligence unit that tracked islamic extremists, he told us the government may have overreacted initially, or that the police raids have turned up new details. "information from the raids may have shown that the terrorists have left the country," he said. "or that they don't have weapons." [ gunfire ] police are still hunting for two paris suspects, salah abdeslam and mohammed abrini. they both lived in the brussels neighborhood of molenbeek, which has gained a reputation for being a jihadi hotbed. a month before the attacks, the mayor received a list of 80 militants from belgian lists. salah abdeslam was on the list, so was the suspected ringleader, abdelhamid abaaoud. but she says it was not her job

police," she said, "to carry out actions like identification, arrest, and interrogation." and she claimed police had received the same information. two weeks on, police are still no closer to finding salah abdeslam. the country's justice minister says he must have a large terror cell assisting him, because it would be impossible for him to hide for this long on his own. in northern iraq, u.s. air strikes continue to pound islamic state positions, helping kurdish forces retake territory from the terror group. but the kurds are also getting help on the ground. some u.s. veterans are returning to the war zone as volunteer soldiers. charlie d'agata in irbil met some of these americans. >> reporter: as far as these guys are concerned, air strikes have made a huge difference on they say when isis hears planes, they run. but for the first time as u.s. soldiers, they have found

themselves outgunned. [ gunfire ] the explosion caught the americans off guard. [ gunfire continues ] for these former u.s. soldiers, it's a return to a deadly war zone. but this time, they're fighting alongside kurdish peshmerga forces. they're volunteers in the battle against isis, also known as daesh, who have dug in around the oil rich region of kircut. >> we have daesh to the left in the village when you get all the way up here. are you all still good back there? >> this is an isis flag i captured on my first offensive. >> reporter: ohio native chris kidd was a marine sergeant in

message is being received. the kenyan newspaper summed it up as, our politicians could learn a thing or two from him. on his first trip to africa, francis urged kenyans to help bridge the increasingly violent divisions between muslims and christians. all too often, he said, young the name of religion to sow discord and fear. kenya suffered at the hands of islamic extreme uss when the el shabab militia slaughtered 147 mainly christian students at the university earlier this year, and killed 67 people in an attack on a shopping mall in 2013. he called the attacks barbarous. en and said god's name must never be used to justify hatred and violence. there are fears that the pope himself could be a prime target and some 10,000 police and army troops are on duty. pope francis is also using this trip to push his message of concern for the environment. but in a region racked by ethnic

and interreligious violence, it is inevitably his calls for peace and reconciliation that strike the most vibrant chord. allen pizzey, cbs news, nairobi. did you know there's a cough liquid that lasts for twelve hours? try delsym twelve hour cough liquid. its advanced formula releases powerful medicine that acts fast while its extended release medicine lasts for 12 hours. try delsym . i asked my dentist if an electric toothbrush was going to clean better than a manual? he said sure.

give the money to him. guess what happens? the money evaporates. >> reporter: bob coleymore, the ceo of kenya's largest cell phone provider, says his company sought to solve the problem. while a majority of kenyans don't have a bank account, 8 in 10 have access to a cell phone. so in 2007, the company started offering a way to use that cell phone to send and receive cash. they call it m-pesa. m stands for mobile. pesa is money in swahili. >> it is often referred to as kenyan's alternative currency, but safer and more secure. >> reporter: you're texting money. >> you're effectively texting money. >> reporter: how sophisticated is the phone that you use for m-pesa? is it a smartphone? >> no, it's the cheapest phone you can have. it's designed to work at the lowest level of technology.

>> hello. how are you? >> reporter: to get this currency, you go to an m-pesa kiosk. shillings, about $30 in cash, and she converts it to this is pretty easy. it's not like opening a bank account. there are 85,000 agents like her across kenya, creating a giant grid of human atms. for most, this is a side business. so a pharmacy will sell m-pesa. or a roadside spice shop. this barber will give you a shave and m-pesa. and yes, you can even buy m-pesa here. >> you don't need the branches. >> reporter: you don't need the atm windows. >> absolutely not. >> reporter: scrolling down the options, you can send money, withdraw cash, pay a bill or buy goods and services. and everyone uses a pin number for security.

m-pesa for a year. farm. all he does is click the phone, which activates a chip on. off -- >> it should be mine. no more cost. >> reporter: the solar panel has changed his life. he can tend to his pigs at night and his children can study indoors without breathing toxic kerosene fumes. past efforts to introduce solar panels to the slums failed. in part because they were stolen. this has been solved because the same chip that turns the panel on can also disable it. so if you don't pay up, they turn your lights off, they have the ability to turn it off? >> once i don't pay, they don't have to come to me. the light just goes off. >> reporter: providing drinking water is another way m-pesa is making a difference.

have access to clean water, often relying on a river or water trucked in by donkey. but this village got a new pump for its well. villagers pay for clean water by texting m-pesa to this meter box, which unclocks the pump. >> you can see the pull report on our website, cbsnews.com. the "overnight news" will be right back.

>> kind of sad, mad. >> reporter: her mom, herself a boy and girl scout leader, helped the girls formally apply to be boy scouts. last week they were rejected. >> i don't think that having girls join and having a coed program necessarily destroys that tradition. >> reporter: in a statement, the boy scouts of america tells cbs "this morning" we understand the values and the lessons of scouting are attractive to the entire family. however, cub scouts and boy scouts are year-round programs for boys and young men. the girls claim the local scout council is breaking its own policy that bars discrimination based on gender. yet the federal title nine law that prohibits such prejudice contains a specific exemption for the boy scouts. >> the boy scouts have such a this is hard for people. >> yeah. it's understandable, because they've been this way for 100 years. >> but i think they should at
