report concerns was the theme of accountability a nice and say that's a director john brennan has denied that these allegations are true but if the c i a is found to be in the wrong here when all this is said and done do you think john brennan shy or perhaps even would be held accountable should absolutely wanted. i think it's anybody's guess you know this is not at first i was gay. tonight a major transaction the extraordinary rendition. i see a black sites. they deny the actual abuse torture the first place which is now well documented so these days the nihilist meaningless essentially will he face accountability is a different question when you have people like dr who has no bald faced lie to congress for an nsa over reaches. i think it's unlikely that the director the caa will be held accountable it should be up to these types of transactions because we're seeing now added that at this level. accountability is not something that can be afforded the peoples of the ordinary processes of the senate. brian wells said sen feinstein siege a number of people including at her snout and have

when the committee approached the white house, the white house denied giving the c.i.a. any such order.57ñ after a series of meetings, i learned that on two occasions,

i think probably the most notable denial came from the nsa which refuses to even confirm or deny thexistence of agency records about mandela. i'm quoting here, the fact of the existence or non-existence of the materials you request is a currently and properly classified matter to be kept secret in the interest of national defense. and the nsa invoted the nsa act of 1959 -- i'm sorry the nsa invoked the espionage act of 1917 to deny my request. and this is the same act in which chelsea manning was convicted. >> so professor, whether or not they are going to give these records to ryan, shouldn't these agencies at least be able to confirm or deny whether these records exist? >> the answer is probably twofold. as a general matter agencies are obligated to both identify responsive records and release non-exempt portions of them. there is a major exception, and it is known as glowmarization in which the see can take the position that the abstract existence or non-existence of a document is a classified fact. i'm very familiar with that because i went to court on the first several judgments

so they would not be wise to deny us access because then they would be denying themselves access to alltilities and supplies we bring to the space station. >> russians have an agreement with the u.s. that they are allowed to keep a gun in their possession. that stems from the old space days when about the situation in ukraine. saying it's being mischaracterized. >> the way that some of this has been reported, that there's a suggestion somehow that the russian actions have been strategic. i think this has not been a sign of strength but rather is a reflection that countries near russia have deep concerns and suspicions about this kind of meddling and if anything it will push countries further away from russia. >> let's bring in our panel, steve hayes, a.b. stoddard, and charles krauthammer. charles? >> so the president is saying that what putin has managed to do is not strategically clever. let's review. putin has taken over the crimean peninsula, which the russians have held for more than two centuries. he's recovered it. it's strategically extremely important. it's the warm water port,

and there is no denying who it affects the most.voter id disproportionately affects women, minorities, disabled, low income voters, and students. the congressman didn't have problems voting. neither did most people until you change the id laws that were unnecessary to change. so why don't we keep the id where it was, rather than these bogus attempts to try to look for a problem that is not there. and solve it with something that's unfair. thanks for watching. i'm al sharpton.

would you like president fewer >> this is to deny or grant the petition for gateway high school charter school. >> i reported on the curriculum meeting but they came up with a positive recommendation for the gateway high school. the we are talking about committee similarly sent a positive recommendation to the board so the renewable of gateway chart >> may i have a reading of the charter by michael. >> thank you president fewer. superintendents recommendation rewarding the gateway chart petition authorization to grant or in the alternative deny the gateway chapter whereby the are gateway high school submitted a petition for reluctant to the san francisco unified school district my whereas pursuant to california code b the board of education is in receipt of the petition effective february 14th and whereas the district shall continue with the timeline of the petition and whereas the board of education shall consider the level of support and review the petition and all information where aren't including the documentation and whereas the board of education shall be guided by the intent of

denying the troops were even in crimea. there's no sign that putin is taking note of this pressure from the united states and some of the other allies. >> it's so interesting to watch you over there with the secretary and you know him pretty well and he knows vladimir putin pretty well and seemed to smirk when he was confronted with the news that just today vladimir putin denied the presence of those troops we know are in there. couple of questions to you. why would putin say they are not his people zsh does that show restraint in itself that they are not willing to admit that they invaded another country? >> the view from u.s. officials and those in ukraine is it's more of him trying to mislead the world and deny reality because there's no question those are russian troops. so what the u.s. is trying to do is prevent putin from turning this operational control of crimea into a permanent state of division in ukraine. they are very concerned that unless putin is pushed back, not militarily but pushed back by economic pressur

and because of that and only because of that he was excoriated here on the senate floor and denied, denied his opportunity to be an assistant attorney general for civil rights. did anyone raise that issue of his qualifications? no. he is definitely qualified. that person after person who spoke about the heinous murder that took place in philadelphia, the murder of a police officer by yet a young black man who bragged about it, a heinous and horrible crime. debo adegbile did not defend him and didn't even know this guy. and yet i listened to the this senator from pennsylvania this morning had a big poster here with a picture of the police officer and his wife on their wedding day talking about how horrible the crime was in the murder had bragged about it and all that terrible stuff. it had nothing to do with debo adegbile but the senator from pennsylvania said that is why he should not be approved to be an assistant attorney general because he signed an appeal. what about that guy sitting over there the chief justice of the supreme court that defended a person who killed eight people? maybe

the state department denied ninety seven percent can the department of homeland security. and i ninety four percent of all such requests. the numbers provided by this analysis are a far cry from the words president obama delivered back in two thousand nine as the marks on his first term in office to collect. the way to make government was possible. although the coming in a way to make government couples make it transparent so the american people can know exactly what decisions are being made made. however being made and whether their interests are being well served. the old rules said that if i was a defensible argument for not disclosing something to the american people should not be the slopes that era is now open. now will my house and denying the claim that the administration is withholding more information and spokesman eric celts tells the ap poll over the past nine years federal agencies have worked aggressively to improve their responsiveness to for your plants. applying that presumption of openness and making it a priority to respond quickly the obama administrati

vladimir putin is denying it. vladimir putin can be cunning and mackeya very wellian, but this bald-face lying of the face he's doing now to an international audience is unusual for him. >> it's a departure of what we have seen in the past as president? >> indeed it is. in a larger sense it's a departure from what we have seen as president. vladimir putin has been known in international affairs and domestic politics as a patient, cunning kind of guy. he's been successful. he'd been using the strategy. this is different. this is not the vladimir putin we know. the action is brash, it's ilconsidered and not well calculated. this is a different vladimir putin to who we have seen in the past. >> you've studied vladimir putin, and i believe you told producers you believe he is pessimistic and paranoid with steely patience. how does that play into this? >> his steely patience seems to have left him recently, he is paranoid about staying in power, as an authoritarian ruler. i think he's concerned that the success of an a

but putin claim ed that ukrainians are living in terror, and he denied that he put the russian army into crimea, south ukraine. they are local self-defense forces, putin said. some of the troops fired warning shots today near ukrainian forces. president obama said that russia is not fooling anyone, and he does not respect ukrainian democracy. >> and mr. putin can throw a lot of words out there, but the facts on the ground indicate that right now, he is not abiding by that principle. >> reporter: secretary of state kerry was on the square in kiev where hundreds died in demonstrations trying to take down the pro russian prest. kerry denied that ukraine is plagued by the terror that russia says. >> rush ha is working hard to create a pretext for being able to advance further. >> the u.s. plan is to pressure putin not to. >> can we affect the outcome here? >> the former ambassador said that economic sanctions could stop putin. >> he is sensitive to that and he should be, because it could have a real effect on the economy. >> reporter: and in the congress are ready to freeze the assets of rus

they denied that the ozone hole was growing. they denied that tobacco caused cancer. heck, some of them probably denied that seat belts made auto travel safer. that's been their industry. they have been in the denial industry, but this is a dangerous place to be, particularly because the oceans don't lie. the oceans tell the story, and they tell it in ways that you can't deny p. and it's big what happens in the oceans, because 93% of the heat goes into the oceans. and what do you see? you know perfectly well-well what was -- you know perfectly well what happens to liquids when they get warmer? it is called the law of thermal expansion. when liquids get bigger, get warmer, they get bigger. and sure enough, when the ocean gets bigger, the sea level rises. here is a time series showing the sea level rise taking place. so we have the principle of carbon dioxide wormin -- warming the temperature of the earth. we have the addition of the carbon dioxide. we have the measurement in the atmosphere of the effect of that addition. we have the laws of nature that show what happen

but, as you say, it's been denied at the moment by russia. now, at the moment, we can just watch and wait. and report what both sides are saying. so it is a very tense situation. and obviously, russia, as well, wants to keep the needle going, if that's the right way to describe it. keep the pressure on ukraine. keep them uncertain about which way this might go. because it's to their advantage to create this air of uncertainty about where crimea might eventually end up. in whose sphere of influence, russia or the new administration here in kiev. >> it is as you say a matter of conjecture whether the ultimatum was issued or whether it wasn't. what is undenial is what is happening in certain -- undeniable, is the russian movement creating some sort of momentum, and the home town of yanukovych, donetske, a big effort there. >> it's part of ukraine but it's an autonomous republic and it has a pro-russian, russian speaking majority there. not everyone of course but a considerable one. but in the east, where it's close to the russian border of cours

he denied florence was ever in his truck. thumbprint was found on the passenger side dashboard. it matched florence's print. >> that was another one of the things that really ensnared him. he denied that she had ever been in the vehicle, and yet her thumbprint was that. that can't have been there if she wasn't in the truck. >> police believe that when florence walked home that night, she was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. rodney saw her walking home. they knew one another casually, and rodney offered her a ride. >> come on in. i'll give you a ride. >> when she got into his truck, she left her thumbprint on the dashboard. instead of taking her home, rodney drove 12 miles away to a deserted farm. >> get out of my car. >> i'm not getting out of the car. >> the evidence clearly shows a confrontation. when berryman dragged her from the truck, her necklace broke, leaving several links under the driver's seat. after the sexual salt, berryman stabbed florence to death, and drops of blood fell onto his sneakers. during t

i take issue with the claim if you start talking about the details of the legislation you're denying the core of the legislation or you shouldn't be talking the details i think it's our responsibility as a committee to probe into the big picture of the legislation and the way the legislation is going to be administered and the detailed that's our job at the san francisco land use & economic development committee so i did impress concerns about the delegation to the rent board especially the rent board is not telling us how 80 that process is going to happen. i'm concerned that the author of the legislation is not tlilz what they're going to do and i've impressed concern about the delegations of the controller of delegations under mr. egging on as had that in writing so no legislation is perfect and this is certainly no exception to the rule but it's appropriate to increase the relocation payment for people evicted under the ellis act so i'll be supporting that. so colleagues there's a motion to forward to the full board that positive recommendation commissioners, can we take this wit

denied by the judge today.what's going to happen is we will probably see them come forward and be asked by the judge where our judicial system is being exhausted right now for a family dispute. now, when their allegations comes to abuse, mental, physical, there are some strong allegations here on rachel's part which are fully denied by both parents. >> she should go to the police then. she is suing her parents. this doesn't belong in a civil court. if she has a criminal action. if they are abusing her for whatever, go to the police. this is a civil action. and, you know, i just -- obviously parents and their children have fights sometimes. but this is so escalated beyond anyone's comprehension. and i do not for the life of me know how lawyers could get to this point wouldn't corral their parents and try to work this one out. it seems though it's about money here clearly on the daughter's part. it doesn't sheep she could drum it up on their own talk about the sphere of influence declared emancipated or not. unde
