good morning, kristin. >> reporter: good morning. just to be clear, we're talking about decriminalization here, not full legalization, two very different things. what this bill would do is it would decriminalize possession of small amounts of recreational marijuana in d.c. by small ams we're talking about -- by small amounts, we're talking about less than an ounce of pot. right now what would happen? if you're caught with that amount of pot in d.c. it's a miss demeanor offense. first time offender faces up to ix months in prison and a -- six months in prison and a $1,000 fine. but if this were passed, the final would only be $100. supporters say it's vital for the city's youth, especially those who live in ward 8 where the hearing will be held later tonight. the thinking is when you get this charge on your record when you're young, then it becomes up possible to get a job in the future. here's d.c. councilman at large david grasso. >> we have to recognize the war on drugs simply hasn't worked. it's been harmful to a lot of our commun

kristin is at the united nations in new york.he pakistani government quick to come out and deny that they had any prior knowledge of drone strikes. why did they do that? >> reporter: well, i think it's in response to some recent media reports here in the united states which show that the pakistani government was actually discussing drone targets with the united states government even as it was publicly complaining about the strikes inside its country, that also the pakistani airstrips were used to launch some of these drone attacks. the ambassador to the united nations in this country apparently very embarrassed by these reports, which did not come as a surprise to many in washington, when this has long been a poorly held secret. but the pakistani official today came out and again denied that his government was not giving its consent. >> let me also state authoritatively that no explicit or implicit consent, approval or acquiescence has been given by the government of pakistan for the use of drone strikes. mr. chairman in pakista

for the latest now, i'm joined by kristin welker at the white house. good morning, kristin. what are we hearing that would allow back pay for federal workers once the government does reopen? >> reporter: well, good morning, mara. the reason why the white house might consider supporting that measure is because it deals with what happens after the government reopens. we saw the government shut down 17 years ago, you'll remember that the furloughed workers did receive back pay. so i think that everyone agrees they want these workers to get their pay once the government opens. the reason why the the white house has said they are not going to support piecemeal bills that open up the government in small bits and pieces, publicly they say it's a gimmick. privately, it decreases the pressure on congress to actually open up the entire government. now, as you just pointed out, mara, this continues to evolve around the signature piece of legislation, health care law. republicans have said they will reopen the government but only if it is attached to a year-long delay in the president's

kristin for two and a half years as you know the security council was silent on syria. now we have this statement on humanitarian situation. what has changed? >> reporter: well, tony, the situation has gotten increasingly desperate inside syria, very hard for the security council to ignore. we're talking 4 million people who don't have enough to eat, and by the u.n.'s estimates they haven't been able to get to about 2 million of those people to get them any aid whatsoever. so an increasingly desperate situation for the security council to deal with. humanitarian groups are lobbying very hard for the council to make some sort of a statement to put pressure on the syrian government to improve access. they say they've been denied access to these areas that they need to get to. the council on the heels of an historying resolution on syria chemical weapons had a lot of good will, and no one wants to be seen as opposing relief for syrian children and others in need. >> here's what is important. the u.n. passed a statement, not a resolution, and it's an important distinction,

it was homecoming for the terps but it did >>> now, game on with kristin berset, live from the wusa 9d straight years, the terapins had many players out with injuries. i think the terps surprised most people, maybe even themselves today. despite the struggle, the red was rocking this afternoon. caleb row into tj brown. second possession of the game, row with a quick pop to jason. 71 yards to the former ram, 7-3, terps. in the 4th, roger mcdowell just breaks free. they win 40-27. dave owens is at bird stadium and has more on the game. >> they gave up 40. it could have been 70. maryland's defense turned in a great effort and kept them in the game when they had every excuse to get out. that triggered a response from the head coach who said, we may be undermanned, but we will not quit. >> it's kind of like a mentality. and again, we had a great mentality in a lot of those situations today against an outstanding offense. >> the coach does a good job of having everyone ready and always preaching about the next man up. to me, i feel like everybody was ready to play. >> and you just keep figh

kristin fisher is live on the national mall with more on day two of the veterans getting in. kristen. >> reporter: the republican national committee is offering to pay five security guards. you can see the memorial for the moment is still closed to the public. earlier today, there were tons of protesters right outside these barricades holding signs like, mr. president, congress, tear down this wall and finally the national park service sees this memorial, finally, they agreed they would open it. but only for world war ii veterans who came here through the honor flight program. that's a program that flies veterans here. about 200 were allowed in today. the park service says they will allow more veterans in today and friday, but everyone else, they are being kept out, including this couple who had come all the way to see the memorial from england. >> it's so disappointing because you know, you just can't get in and you come all this way. we come thousands of miles just to get in these memorials and have a look around and sage do not enter, you know, this memorial is closed and
