. >> joining me now, kari ann rinker, state coordinator with national organization for women in kansastonight. >> thank you so much for having me. >> could you just walk me through the strategy on what's going on in the city council on this vote? >> well, from what i hear, they feel that if they revoke the city ordinance that is for domestic violence that it will force the hand of the county d.a., that it will require him under the state statute to enforce domestic violence within the city once again. but the troubling thing that i have with the proposition of such a vote, the problem that i have with that is that it is not guaranteed. their own city attorneys have not been able to guarantee that this would be the end result. i keep hearing words like "shall" and "probably" but when we're dealing with the issue that is life or death, such as domestic violence, there should be more guarantees before the city council even considers the revocation of a municipal ordinance protecting women in that community. >> kari, 18 arrests since the district attorney thought this was a good way to sav

. >> kari, 18 arrests since the district attorney thought this was a good way to save money.prosecutions off of 18 arrests. that starts to feel like a dangerous climate for at least the partners of those 18 people. >> of course. and, yeah, the judges in that community are letting these men go because they know that they will not be prosecuted and there's no way that you can hold someone if they are not to be prosecuted. and as a matter of fact, there is one case that we have had confirmed by the police chief in that community where we have had another offense. multiple offense. we had someone that was picked up, that was held and then let go and then within 48 hours he committed another crime against his partner, was arrested and then he was again let go. and, you know, the end result could very well be with having a murder on the hands of these officials that refuse to get along with each other using the old-fashioned art of compromise. you know, you were discussing problems at the federal level and we have problems at our state level with people working together on issues.

assistant secretary kari ann jones. have you heard exaggerations, falsehoods, half truths? >> i think what we've heard is a lot of enthusiasm. everyone is very.... >> reporter: very diplomatic answer. >> i do work for the state department. everyone is very enthusiastic about their position. i don't mean that light heartedly. they're passionate about it. i think people pick up the pieces of information that are important to them and their position which is what we do. we're humans. but we are from the state department we're trying to take all of this together and see what is really best in the national interest. it's a very important project. we're trying to make sure we do it well. >> reporter: jones says the administration is on track to make a final decision by the end of the year. >> brown: tonight, remote control bombing attacks as a weapon of war. the recent killing in yemen of the u.s.-born al qaeda militant app we are al awlaki with several others was the latest example of a high-profile missile attack by c.i.a. drones. in fact the u.s. has dramatically increased its

kary ann jones who told us they are having an independent risk assessment being conducted on the keystone xl pipeline. we see this as a direct result of recent allegations and e-mails of corruption between the state department and the trans transcanada. this department would not give us -- the state department wouldn't give any further information such as who's doing the assessment, if the result would be made public for comment but they stated that the results would be completed prior to the presidential permit decisions. if this is truly a transparent google offering these results should be made and have the ability to have comments on it before the decision is made. in accordance to the united nations declaration of the indigenous rights, and the executive order by president obama they are supposed to be free to tribes. this hasn't happened in the united states with a state department yet on this issue. the state department has failed to meet a commitment along the route. the state department has threatened to withhold funds to have monitors on the pipeline if they do not concur with t
