she was standing next to her sister addie mae collins.ollins rudolph was hit with shards of glass, lost tonight and was hospitalized for months. today she continues to live in birmingham, alabama, where she joins us now. it is such an honor to have you with us, sarah collins rudolph. can you talk about that day 50 years ago, where you were when the dynamite exploded? >> yes. i was in the ladies lounge when the bomb went off. i remember cynthia, denise, and carole walking inside the lounge area and went where the stalls were. denyseey came out, passed by addie and asterisk tied a sash on her dress. i was at the sink. when jimmy's asked her to tie the sash, i was looking at her when she began to tie it. then all of a sudden, boom! i never did see her finish her tying it. all i could do was cry out jesus! i didn't know with a loud sound was. i called,addie! she didn't answer me. i thought the girls had ran on the other side of the church were the sunday school area was. all of a sudden i heard a voice outside saying, somebody bombed the 16th

addie mae collins, denise mcnair, carole robertson, cynthia wesley.he four little girls died in the sacred walls of the 16th street baptist church 50 years ago this week as they were preparing for sunday school. they died at the hands of a system that remained silent about blatant violent acts of hatred. later, we remain silent no more. today, they will finally be recognized as agents of change who lost their lives and it was pivotal in the struggle for equality. bestowrican people will the highest civilian honor that congress can bestow upon these four little girls in recognition that out of this tragedy came a movement that inspired our nation and impacted the world. the senseless deaths of the four little girls serves as a catalyst for legislative change. 50 years later, we finally honor their life and legacy. justice delayed, but not denied. god is good. [applause] i believe it is the fitting that we would honor for little girls from birmingham under the watchful eye of another alabama daughter, rosa parks. [applause] was parks, whose statue dedic

. >> so a struggle for collin kaepernick, and then look at the final comparison with these three guys. three interceptions on the day for collin kaepernick, and then in the end, russell wilson was economical at 8 for 19, and 0 for 6 to start the game. not a good day for either quarterback. the running game has to pick this team up. and the running game was not there, and the 49ers relying too much on number 7 to get everything done. >> and yeah, frank gordon did not run the ball today. and today, not even 30 yards rushing and really bad running the ball today. >> and then last week, the guy that collin could count on was bolton. >> let's hear from the 49ers' head coach, jim harbaugh addressing the media after the loss. >> certainly not proud of the way we played tonight or coached, no, was not our finest hour. >> reporter: [ inaudible ]. >> just wasn't good enough, you know. and don't feel like we put our players in a position to be successful, because we certainly did not make any plays to be successful, wasn't good football. >> reporter: [ inaudible ]. >> yeah, that was part of the

addie mae collins, carole robertson, cynthia wesley, denise mcnair.es remain seared in our hearts and certainly in yours, we know that 50 years later. they left their families, communities, and the country far too early. dr. king declared at the memorial service days after the bombing, "their deaths say we need to work unrelentingly for the american dream." just a few weeks after that i have a dream speech, -- of their legacy endures. the memory inspires the fight to establish justice and to form a more perfect union and to realize the dream, the dreams of four little girls, the dream of a nation that loves and values all of america's children's. several years ago, i had the privilege of traveling with reverend lewis. not a reverend, but he is like a preacher to us. i apologize. baucus with us as well. steny hoyer has come on many of these trips and many more to come. we visited the 16th st. baptist church in birmingham. it was heartbreaking to be there in this place that looks so normal. such an extraordinary thing had happened to these little girls.

we're hearing from republican of susan collins of maine.e're hearing skepticism as well from democrats on that same committee. here we go, so let's hear from susan collins, republican of maine. >> i am firmly undecided at this point. this is very serious. it's a very difficult issue. we have to look at the impact on israel's security. we have to look at the signals that it sends rogue states like iran and north korea if we don't attack. but we also have to consider the possibility that our acting would cause a further escalation of the violence in the region. >> so richelle, sorry for the confusion. we heard from senator mcculsk mcculsky, democrat from maryland, and then susan collins from maine, second. the bottom line is there is skepticism on both sides of the aisle. the senate intelligence committee just wrapping up a three-hour closed door meeting. we hope to catch up with those senators and others to hear what they learned and what their decisions are now. >> there have been several days of briefing, some things have been public, some

with us tonight our gun control activist collin goddard. he was shot four times during the virginia tech massacre and now works for mayors against illegal guns. he's here along with gun rights advocate larry pratt, the executive owner of gun openers of america. what law do you think might have blocked or stopped yesterday? >> i think we have to be careful and not try to have this discussion or set our national policy based on the last mass shooting that just happened. we failed those people, those people are already dead. we need to do things to prevent the next group of people from getting shot and killed, the people that will be killed today, tomorrow, next month. that's how we should have this conversation and what measures will stop the most dangerous people from obtaining firearms in the first place. >> but as you just hear, he passed the background check. >> there's no one policy that's going to stop all gun crimes, but what i think makes the most sense, what law enforcement tells us is requiring that same background check against all

had found a way to voice her grievances. >> my name is gwendolyn collins.and the poem is "why i write poetry." i don't write poetry for the fame, speaking loud with no shame, the words i spit i claim, it's all a part of the game i call life. i consider myself an artist, painting mental pictures in my head. >> we saw collins the slam poet when she gave an impromptu performance for the women in her jail dorm. >> and the bible says that god blesses baby and fools. i think god has a sense of humor and is amused, you see, because being in a women's detention center is not all he has in store for me. i guess that's how i started to write poetry. it saved me from arguments, headaches and heartaches. i like it because i feel that i can express, i can teach, i can motivate others. i feel good when i'm up there. when i'm on stage and i recite and on the mike i feel free. there's no boundaries. living a life of crime bought nothing but misery. i had nice cars, living like a star with the bling-bling and the dress code and my gun always on lock and load on a long, dark

she joins me now. >> unfortunately we seem not to the have senator collins audio. can you hear me, senator? >> i can now. >> ok. >> i was not getting anything for a few minutes back. >> well, thank you for joining us. we just heard house speaker john boehner talk about the choice between diplomacy and military action. is that what you see as the choice right now? >> i do. and initially what the administration was presenting was a choice between a military strike that was an act of war and doing nothing. and it troubles me that we were ignoring the possibility of a diplomatic solution. the last couple of days have put a diplomatic solution on the table, and i believe it should be a aggressively pursued. >> senator, do you think that russia is a worthy ally in that pursuit? >> you know, i understand those who say we can't trust the russians. but the fact is, that it is in the russian's own self-interest to diffuse this crises. so i believe that we should allow some time for this to play out, to see if the russians who are, after all, the chief allies for assad can, i

poor billy collins! (whistle blows) aha! prepare for justice, fake billy collins. well, i guess poetry is really about using your imagination. a lot of times poets use poetry to imagine what it's like to be another person or creature, or even nature itself. (dogs sniffing) hmm. well, i have a friend who has lots of imagination, but he's struggling. he could use some advice. td: it's no use! i started a hundred poems. listen. "the..." the... what? that's as far as i got. "the." it's totally boring already. "a." (groans) "buy motor oil." hey, that's good! oh, wait, no, that's dad's. how can i write a great poem if i can't even write one good word? hey, writing can be hard, td. and poetry is even harder than writing. tell me about it. but you know, the point isn't really to impress teachers or even to try to write the best poem ever. you're going to tell me it's to have fun. exactly. but i'm not having any fun. right now i'd rather be sick as a dog. or an actual dog. dogs aren't allowed in school. well, why not write about that? being a dog sounds like something you f

lilly collins. she's actually an actress, she's phil collins' daughter. some people might remember him from the band genesis. she's a delicate little flower. >> how is she dangerous? >> the people that released the study, they do the anti-virus software, and they say if you try to look for lilly collins on the internet, the odds of being hit with a virus are pretty good. >> must seek protection in every area of life. sgle >> i would think the people who come up with these malware viruses would be a little bit more creative. but it's complete randoms like avril lavigne, sandra bullock, kathy griffen. >> who is searching for kathy griffin? >> kathy griffin. other people who made the cut, i think an obvious choice for those internet hackers. britney spears. the most popular celebrity on the planet. >> i would think she'd give and you you a virus. >> back off britney. >> you you say tomato, i say vd. >> seriously.a virus. >> back off britney. >> you you say tomato, i say vd. >> seriously.a virus. >> back off britney. >> you you say tomato, i say vd. >> seriou

collins: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from mest. ms. collins: thank you, mr. president. first, i want to congratulate the bill's sponsors, senators shaheen and portman, for crafting the underlying bipartisan, commonsense energy efficiency bill. i'm proud to be a cosponsor of their legislation, and i'm pleased to see that the bill is being considered and look forward to the debate on energy efficiency. i would hope that, as we consider amendments to this bill, that we could consider amendments that relate to the issue of energy so that we can make real progress and that we don't end up, as happened before the recess when i was managing a bill on the transportation and housing appropriations for the minority side, that we became distracted on two issues that had nothing to do with the underlying bill, important though it was. so i'm very pleased to join my colleague, the distinguished senator from colorado, mr. udall, in sponsoring an amendment to help streamline the available f

given posthumously to addie mae collins, carole robertson, cynthia wesley and denise mcnair. their deaths helped spur the passage of the civil rights act of 1964 and the voting rights act a year later. alabama congresswoman terri sewell paid tribute. >> the names of the four little girls will never appear on the wall here in congress. but their legacy truly paved the way for me and so many others to serve here in congress. i know that the journey that i now take, as alabama's first black congresswoman, would not be possible had it not been for the journey of addie, carole, denise, and cynthia. >> ifill: past recipients of the medal include other civil rights figures, as well as the wright brothers, mother teresa, and bob hope. >> woodruff: and online, you may have noticed a different look to our rundown. we've launched a new initiative to track the most important stories of the day, as they evolve. you can find this new blog on our home page.

that's where the scoring ended for the niners, collin kaepernick, horrific game. sacked three times. andrew luck, efficient as usual. 165 yards passing, 24 on the ground. six yards in the boot leg. the niners beaten in every stat. lose the turnover battle. 27-7 the final. niners first back-to-back losses in the jim harbaugh era. >> you can question just about everything right now. we didn't play well enough to win in enough areas, they made the plays, offensively,

still ahead on the newshour, three takes on syria, from republican senator susan collins, syrian americans with family impacted by war, and former u.n. weapons inspector, charles duelfer; plus, margaret warner in egypt; jeffrey brown on the photography of war; and shields and brooks preview president obama's address to the nation.

i spoke with senator susan collins about this last night. she said it really makes me question the kind of vetting that military contractors do. here's the problem, wolf. we have both done a bunch of reporting on this today. there were a lot of red flags for alexis, but for some reason, they weren't noticed. for example, he wasn't charged with reckless gun use, although he was arrested for it. and he was honorably discharged from the navy, although there was a back story to it. so in talking to people today, they were saying well, on a regular vet for him at this kind of midlevel position, they might not have known about these things. >> just this afternoon, capitol hill got the inspector general report on this very issue and it was absolutely incredible to read, how many holes there really are in security clearance specifically for these contractors at the naval facility. just really quickly, nine out of ten of these navy installations

david collins is following the development. he joins us from central booking. these two politicians have been very close. of his she is one biggest supporters. when o'malley was mayor, there were lines at central booking waiting to get in. -- mayor have stephanie a lake will have none of that strategy -- mayor stephanie rawlings-blake will have none of that strategy. governor martin o'malley is wondering out loud whether there is a connection between fewer arrests and a rise in murders, all the while a trend in nonviolent crime is down. >> there is pretty downward movement for some time now. where there is more violent crime, murder and shootings, kicked up -- kicked up at certain points -- ticked up over several months. >> mayor o'malley employed zero- tolerance policing. skyrocketed. but a third of those wrongful arrest cases were so weak prosecutors dismissed charges. the naacp and the a.c.l. eight -- aclu filed a lawsuit. >> i think the governor is seriously out of touch with what makes an effective police force and that is trust between the police and the

some aspects of my coalition, and if i think like susan collins i get support from women who support these social issues and vote for me anyway even though i'm a republican and they are an independent or a democrat. some of that is going on. maybe some of their own caring more about these issues. then you have cases where you will have a republican woman who can come out and say, i'm defending the party. so with the contraception it was very interesting that jeanne shaheen on the democratic side, a democratic senator from new hampshire, was at the forefront of pushing for contraception to be covered under the health plan, and kelly ayotte was one of the three main cosponsors with blonde of the republican alternative and minute that wants freedom of conscience exception. they had her out there talking about, yes, i'm republican women, this is not a woman's issue. this is about freedom of conscience and freedom of religion. that was their defense to they certainly do want women to defend. when i was doing my interviewing, a lot of people don't know that on the judiciary committee there

is the public information announcer at the larimer county sheriff's office on the phone from fort collinsmy first question is what is your most immediate concern right now? >> well, at this point, we have just announced we're going to be evacuating the big thompson canyon, which is the highway 34 area. and we just this morning sent out an emergency notification to 598 contacts in that area to be prepared for evacuation if necessary. we're told the weather will continue to deteriorate throughout the day, and will get worse this afternoon. we felt that we have a window of opportunity to get people out, so we're just in the process of beginning to get in the position to do the evacuation. we have shelters set up in lions, estes park, and loveland. >> do you anticipate having to evacuate other areas? >> at this point in time it does not look like it, but we sent out emergency notifications to 400 contacts in the big elk meadow, and other areas. we had a dam that broke this morning, so we were notifying people of that. there are three additional dams which also could break. but so far they are

[ driver ] today, my ambulance knew all about a bike accident,

we heard from republican senator susan collins a little bit earlier about some of the questions she plans to ask. let's hear what she had to say. >> one of the questions that i have asked is whether we're looking at this issue too narrowly. this is not a choice between doing nothing, and doing a military strike. there are other ways to put pressure internationally on the assad regime to isolate him, that might be more effective, and would not involve the use of military action. i'm also very wary of the united states becoming entangled more and more deeply in what is the civil war. >> and you hear, susan collins in maine, in a closed briefing, getting more details presumably hoping to get some answers to those kind of questions. richelle. >> so whit gets to the full senate though, and those are questions a lot of senators whether you are a democrat or republican have right? once it gets to the full senate what's the lay of the land? what's it looking like paul whether or not it's actually going to get out of the senate? >> on the good news side for the administration, senator rand paul ha

if the line were crossed, which i think was inevitable. >> so we'll try to catch up with senator collins and some other senators as they come out of that meeting here today. try to learn more about what they heard during this important intelligence briefing. richelle. >> paul let's talk more about the senate. is it looking like this will pass in the senate, i know that's a tough question to answer but what's it looking like? >> the prediction business is a bad one these days [ laughter ] but what we do know is that senator rand paul who there had been reports that he was considering a fil fill filibust. let's tell you something from thehill.com. the senate handicap, of 10:00 a.m., yes leaning yes 22 senators, no, leaning no they had 13, and not clear another 22, adds up to 57, which leaves 43 completely unknown so pretty far off from any predictive look of what we've got there in the senate. time will tell as they say. >> and certainly more difficult to predict in the house? >> well, the house again even more skeptical republican-controlled of course and we had that very testy heated hea

collin leavy joins us with more. this has been percolating behind the scenes as we've been all talking about syria and the shutdowns and everything else. what are we learning about -- that we didn't know before? >> paul, i think what we got this week was a much fuller account of exactly which groups were targeted and why. and i think we're also getting a very good sense now of what the irs internal process was. this document that you're referring to is basically a list that washington irs officials were keeping in 2011 that looked specifically at tea party groups and a lot of other conservative groups and made specific notes about whether or not those groups were engaged on quote unquote propaganda, what kind of status they were seeking, other areas of concern, you mentioned the emotional statements, also issues of specific comments about whether or not their websites had comments about president obama. by the way, none of those made any reference to comments about conservative candidates. there is a sense they were
