mark cane, a scientist at columbia's lamont-doherty earth observatory, has been studying el niÑo forr 30 years. cane: when you have an el niÑo event there are things that happen around the world. they don't always happen but they usually happen, and they have some -- some bad consequences for people. there is typically a poor monsoon in india. there are droughts in southern africa droughts in ethiopia droughts in northeast brazil which is the poorest part of brazil. in peru and ecuador, you have catastrophic flooding in many places that washes out infrastructure. narrator: because of its devastating effects around the globe scientists tried to accurately predict el niÑo in advance to help people prepare. these attempts were unsuccessful until the mid-1980s when cane and his colleague steve zebiak set out to create a physically based computer model to predict these phenomena. cane: here is this el niÑo phenomenon which i knew about because it had caused these anomalies in wintertime circulation over north america in '77, '78. and i was living in boston at the time and it dumped this i

he is reading a letter from glen doherty's family. one.our americans who was killed and nobody has lost their job. let's listen. >> working to build bridges of understanding and mutual respect between people of the united states and the people of the middle east and north africa. he was loved by many more libyans than those who hated him for being an american. a few dozen fanatics penetrated his compound but more than 30,000 people in benghazi demonstrated in protest over his death. chris was successful because he embodied the traits that have always endeared americans to the world, a commitment to democratic principles and respect for others regardless of race, religion or culture. chris regarded and liked each person he met as an individual. he respected their views whether or not he agreed. one of his friend told us a tale that reflects his success on a small scale. picnicking in libyan countryside -- martha: we're going to continue this. darrell issa is reading a letter from ambassador chris stevens's family. he read a letter from glen

stevens, state department officer shawn smith, and two former navy s.e.a.l.s, tyrone woods and glen doherty. today smith's mother and woods' father testified on capitol hill. >> too many of these witnesses that are testifying behind closed doors, and we don't know what they said, we don't see their faces on tv to tell whether or not they're credible witnesses. >> one silly question that i have, every time i see this on tv, i see these bloody fingerprints crawling down a wall of that benghazi place and i keep asking everybody, do those belong to my son. >> members of both political parties promised to help get the families answers. both democrats and republicans criticized security at the outpost at the time of the attack. katherine harrah is different in our d.c. newsroom. >> thank you, harris. good evening. the rank being democrat on the committee elijah cummings released a report on behalf of his staff today. he found the state department investigation was quote one of the most comprehensive reviews ever conducted. >> i've seen no evidence, none whatsoever, to support these reckless accus

the events of last year, losing four brave americans, chris stevens, sean smith, glen doherty, tyronety of challenges we face in the world. we remain committed to bringing the perpetrators of the benghazi attacks to justice and ensuring the safety of our brave personnel serving overseas. does that mean anything to you? >> yes. a bunch of bull feathers. bill: and you don't believe it? >> not a bit. bill: when was the last time you were in washington? >> the last time was for the hearings, i don't know what you would call it. it was the hearings that they had. bill: so it has been a few months. and -- >> oh, yes. bill: with whom do you have contact with? i mean your frustration is clear and you're still a grieving mother. who do you go to push along, to figure out what happened that night? >> that is kind of curious because the only way i could find out what happened is to go searching for myself. there is nobody in washington giving me any answers other than the media. bill: when you search, what do you do? what questions do you ask? what sources do you look for? lot of times it's aush

. >> talking about these topics we have two strategists, tom doherty and dan, a democratic strat gift. thank you both for being in. tom, is what the republicans doing a good idea? >> no, it's not a good idea. a government shutdown is never necessarily a good idea. unfortunately, because there's a lack of communication going on between the president, the speaker, relationships have not gone well over the last five years, the only way to get attention to the problems that the house members - remember, right now in the republican they represent the most conservative republicans and conservative people in the country. they are wanting red meat. that is less spending, obamacare out the wointed. -- window. >> unfortunately we are heading for a shut down. >> can the democrats move a little on obamacare. >> they could, but not in this context. the president is drawing a line in the sand and is sticking to it. he should have done it in the past. to a certain degree he's partly responsible for the extremist tactics, because they don't fear him. they have no fear of the president. the consequenc

a year ago ambassador chris stevens, ty wood, glen doherty and shawn smith were killed by islamic terrorists in benghazi. the victims's families are still searching for answers and justice. shawn smith's mother and uncle are unhappy with how the administration has handled the situation and she spoke earlier. >> he promised me face-to-face at the casket ceremony he would give me answers. he did not. i don't know what you want me to say. i did not get any answers yet. there is nobody in washington giving me any answers. other than the media. >> in some ways it's a little too late. i want justice. but i also want truth and accountability. and that's been missing in action for the past year. the obama administration has been dragging its heels. >> so those are grieving people that are asking for answers. and it seems, kimberly, that the government doesn't seem to have -- they don't feel an obligation to get answers for them. i think that they are hoping that this story just goes away. but here we are a year later and of course still talking about it. >> it's so embarrassing. it's so shameful. i

we spent the day there talking to some of those folks, including a house and wife, david doherty, andda. their story, unfortunately, is not all that uncommon in this area. they had to leave their home three years ago during those terribly angry wildfires that charred up much of the communities around boulder. they were only back in their home, believe this or not, several weeks ago before the weather took a turn on them. we asked them how they could possibly feel about that. >> sad. >> like a ping-pong ball. sad, yes. it's really tough. it has been tough for the original fire. it's been really tough during the three years, but going home gave us a whole bunch of home. we were home for two weeks, we were unloading boxes, getting familiar again with living in the mountains. we were pretty happy. and then the rain started. >> well, everyone, as you would expect, they're quite tired and very emotional. but they're glad to see fema is here, the red cross is here there are people who can help do case work with them. >> you can't really say enough about what those shelters mean for the resid

steven smith was killed and intelligence sean smith, and glen doherty and tyrone woods. we have been digging through the draft report since first obtaining it, and catherine is live in washington with the points that pop out that we need to know. >> well, according to the draft, harris, obtained by fox news and prepared for the investigators of the house chairman oversight committee chairman darrell issa, the state investigation into benghazi and said by the obama administration thorough and uncompromisi uncompromising, was flawed. the investigators say that the findings were impartiality, and whether there were conflicts of interest and whether the interviews were thorough. at one example, the draft says that the ambassador coach thomas pickering said that the team had the authority to conduct depositions and issue subpoenas, but those options were never used. instead, they relied heavily on the summaries of group and individual interviews. as for alleged conflict of interest in at least one instance, cheryl mills who was mrs. clinton's chief of staff was given advance

former navy seals glenn doherty and tyrone woods.idge conduct nad exclusive interview with rogers. she is here life with us in washington. catherine? >> thank you, harris. the administration's determination to prosecute the benghazi suspects in criminal court has thrown up road blocks. >> there are far too many lawyers. there are far too many hurdles in trying to do a criminal investigation on what, in my mind is, a terrorist matter. certainly, i'm frustrated. i think the committee is frustrated. by the way the people who do this for a living are really frustrated. >> based on intelligence reporting, the delay has allowed the benghazi suspects to remain free and engage with their terrorist organizations. as for targeted drone strikes, counter terrorism analysts say the obama administration's prosecution strategy has effectively pushed aside the military option. >> there is a lot of frustration in both the intelligence community and in the defense department because a lot of the guys who are involved and guys know who they are and in

[applause] >> thank you. i'm the only one wearing a tie. i'm just enough for us to spend, so i seem to be of the better quality person. this kind of a surprise to be here, launching two books. how did i come to be writing two books? well, the book on pandemics, this one i was asked to write by oxford university press. it appealed to me, but i was wondering whether his really quite the right person to do it. pandemics are pandemic infections are enormous topic. it could've been written by epidemiologists, and one with the spread of infection. a particular interest is in the nature of infectious disease, how we deal with infectious disease, how are immune response deals with and how disease causes the ecology and the damage that can lead to an outcome. so that really turned me on. so i thought about it. i thought, whoever writes a book on this w

first, to our foreign affairs correspondent, jill doherty, with the president in st. plenty of official speeches here in st. petersburg, but that's not the news. it's the side conversations that matter. the much-anticipated handshake seemed friendly enough for two men who radically disagree over syria. but then, russian president vladimir putin is the host of this year's g-20 summit in st. petersburg, and he says syria is one issue he's ready to discuss with his fellow world leaders. so is president barack obama. >> i think our joint recognition that the use of chemical weapons in syria is not only a tragedy but also a violation of international law that must be addressed. >> reporter: he began with japanese prime minister shinzo abe. >> i certainly look forward to continuously and closely working with you to improve the situation on the ground. >> reporter: but administration officials admit they don't anticipate that every member of the g-20 will agree with obama, particularly given putin's objection to any military action without approval from the united nations se

american people need to have the story and ambassador chris stevens, sean smith, ty woods and glen doherty's names are names that should be remembered by every american on the sacrifices they made. bill: he told the house committee it was a terror attack. he said it had nothing to do with rioted that erupted in nearby countries. that day is wednesday, 12 years later and this september 11 takes on a whole new meaning when we look back at the answers that have not been forthcoming in benghazi. martha: he's a courageous man. his boss doesn't know he's doing it and he's gone the in trouble before. but that's what he's doing. the nsa can spy on you through your smartphone. this is different than what we were led to belief. how extensive are we learning this program is. >> reporter: very expensive according to a german publication. the nsa can tap into phones of any manufacturer. they can tap into contact lists, sms traffic, notes and location information about where a user has been. we have known for some time that the nsa has been able to track any individual's location through smartphones. list

because of the courageous and ultimate sacrifices made by ambassador stephen, sean smith, clint dohertyand tyrone woods, the board meticulously review the conduct of all state department employees with direct responsibilities for security at the benghazi special mission compound. we assign blame at the level where we thought it lay. that is what the armed statute intended. operational accountability at the level of operational responsibility. the house report originally adopted the statute that originally adopted the arb statute admonish the quote in the past, determining direct programmatic and personal accountability for serious security failures have been weak. understand it as a high legal standard going well beyond negligence that acquires affirmative misconduct. discipline is a formal term meaning complete removal or demotion, removal from or demotion, the federal service. other form of significantive action such as removal from a position or reassignment are not considered formal discipline. the board has earn couraged congress to whether to amend the statute so unsatisfactory le

ris stevens, sean smith, our two former navy seals, ty woods and glen doherty. they deserve the truth to come out. this article points out that benghazi may have been a case where most observers have missed the forest for the trees. this is not an attempt to add new information so much as it is to collate the information that already exists from the most reputable journalistic sources. benghazi was a c.i.a. operation involving weapons. one which had no cover beyond a small mission that provided a diplomatic fig leaf for the effort. officially, the c.i.a. was there to track and collect dangerous weapons left over from the war that ousted gaddafi, but the evidence suggested that the c.i.a. was either actively involved in a multinational effort to ship those weapons to syrian rebels. our covert effort in benghazi, libya, was connected to ouress can lating involvement -- our escalating involvement in syria. the general outlines of this c.i.a. effort have been reported. one fact which has not been highlighted is that the u.n. arms embargo of libya, which the united s

i didn't know ty woods and i didn't know glen doherty. i have known them vy care yussly sense but i know enough seals, former and present, to know that those two former navy seals did not die seeking cover. i knew it instantly when i read that. what an outrage. i know when i was at the army in fort benning, we were not at war. we should have gone to war after iraq -- i'm sorry -- iran over the attack, the act of war in 1979 against our embassy, and i think if we had demanded their return within 48 hours or the entire hell that america could bring to bear would come own on iran if one hostage was harmed, i always felt during those first few days when they kept saying the students have these hostages, the students have them, that if we had a backbone and made a demand and been willing to back it up they would have released them. and if they had not and we showed we were not a paper tiger or a toothless tiger that we would not have lost the thousands and thousands of americans we have sense. and would not have been able to use as a recruitin
