one of the ways that we have partnered, department of education and department of justice was right here at the university of california in san diego where you might have heard about the compton cookout and the alleged noose in the library and we have heard similar instances in california and elsewhere, things like (inaudible) the kinds of resolutions and remedies we seek are not just about ensuring that those that were responsible for these activities that caused a hostile environment that adults knew of, should have known of and knew of and done something about it, is about ensuring that the culture that gives rise to that is eradicated. so our resolutions are about mining the data in detail so that you know not just what's happening but who feels comfortable saying it and how they are going about trying to remediate it. it is about doing climate checks because unless adults consistently talk to their student body and understand you don't know whether it's getting better. in lots of instances in our resolutions it's also been about ensuring that there was a community school leader comm

now the department of justice is coming in and saying we oppose it under the guise of racial equalityhe benefits of these programs are unbelievable. the programs have been security deniesed by other courts in other states and they've been allowed. there's one in indiana and ohio and the department of justice, the argument is they're not leveling, they're not amounting to anything. >> neil: what do you think? >> it's a good argument that our public schools are failing, that we have so many poor children. and to make -- to be eligible, you have to fall below 250% below the family income poverty line. 250%. that's just a first requirement. the second is the school must receive a c grade or lower. so this is just preposterous that we have this problem in america. i get that. >> neil: but we do have this problem. >> yeah. i get that. >> neil: he's trying to do something about it. >> but the problem is in 1975, there was a desegregation order issued bit federal court. although jindal's intent is proper, it has the possibility that we are -- that the impact is discriminatory because we've se

information that we access is either available to the public already, or privileged california department of justice information, protected by the california, we can't spy on anybody else, not that we ever would. and we can wife the devices remotely if they are ever misplaced. so all of our hopes are good and we are hoping that we have future capabilities to get real time alerts that we can send to officers immediately if they pop up on the phone. and any camera system that has ip-based for instance, the inside of a bank, let's say that there was a bank robbery in progress and it is possible and perhaps, to route any internal camera footage to a phone and so an officer will be able to see on the cell phone, what was going on inside of a bank, and or, on a mobile device, or on a command post. and then, gps and enable the alerts on the suspect and or the stolen vehicles as they come and we are looking right now into getting the track high iphone, app that will help us track down the stolen cell phones, in real time from these cell phone devices and so again, we came out with the radios one way and in

government might not have enough money to keep the panda cam on but a newly released report by the department of justice office of inspector general shows just the opposite when it comes to unmanned aerial vehicles here's what we found out between two thousand and four and may twenty third team the d.o.j. gave the f.b.i. nearly three million dollars for you avi's it allocated the bureau of alcohol tobacco firearms and explosives six hundred thousand dollars and the u.s. marshals service almost seventy five thousand dollars for similar projects in addition to that the office of justice programs and the office of community oriented policing services within the d.o.j. awarded several police departments and nonprofit organization. ins over one point two million dollars for you if you testing and you so yes unmanned aerial vehicles are only being used but the number of departments who have access to them is growing in a letter to senator rand paul back in july the f.b.i. outlined how it used these machines in ten separate instances since two thousand and six for surveillance on kidnappers as well as for sear

i was looking for a solution anywhere. >> reporter: the department of justice, or d.o.j. o assist families such as these. it's suing the state of florida for discriminating against the kids and violating the americans with disabilities act. there are 186 children requiring intense medical care, housed in nursing homes. 3,000 are considered at risk for being sent to one. critics say it's the result of a reduction in community-based services. such as at-home care or group homes. >> these people do not have voices. that's why they are an easy target. >> reporter: matt represents the gassers and nine other families he's suing the state of florida as well he says it costs more to house children in nursing homes than it does to provide them with at-home or group-home care. in the 2011-2012 physician value year the state paid 9,000-dollar on average to care for kids nay community-based setting. at of ridge cost for care in a nursing home was more than $112,000. the state says it's unfair to compare the two types of care due to the varying condition of children and services provid

about the relationship between the justice department and the white house, but in very general terms, so let me preface by saying that there has been attention to some of the drama surrounding conflict between the former deputy attorney general and other senior justice department officials in the bush white house, involving an nsa program from the previous administration. i would note that the fbi is in a very interesting position in our government. it is undoubtedly an executive agency in article two of the constitution. on the other hand, it is designed to be somewhat insulated from day-to-day interference from people engaged in the political affairs of the nation. how would you describe the relationship or what you would say is the ideal relationship between the president and an agency like the fbi? >> it is an interesting question. i would say that one of the great things about my job is i have to be aggressively apolitical, which is wonderful. as an agency, we need to trust the american people in the work that we do an understanding that whatever we do in terms of investigations, whatever we do as the bureau is done without regard to party or poli

obama caught some flak for the way he approached the libyan attack in which he called up the department of justice and said scrabble together some legal casuistry that i can use to justify this war and in that instance the department of justice said well the supply of arms the supply of missiles drone attacks do not collectively amount to hostilities therefore there is no war therefore there's no reason to go to congress i think he's learned his lesson on that and it's the right thing to do to go to congress but i think well even if ok jason if. yeah because we have to listen this is this is just trickery this is put this is legal trickery something we don't head. we need to look at a couple of different issues here one is how solid is the evidence and i think that simply i'm sorry but it isn't only the russians who are questioning the veracity of the evidence of who did it the us position itself the formal four page release of the unclassified version said that there is high confidence that the regime did it without evidence of what it was but their conclusion is high confidence and that the poss
