von neumann. this is not george dyson's first attempt to help us understand at both a technical and human level the way that we coexist and cocreate with computing. he is the author among darwin of the machines as well and two other books also and he writes frequently on the subject. this is not totally his day job. as you may know, he is in addition to being a scientist, a historian, and author, a builder and designer from his home in bellingham, washington. ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming george dyson.

that's right the neumann goretti girls basketball team a top the usa today poll for the first time inool history. >> it fell like a dream come true. like my heart dropped but like i felt like we deserved it like all the work we put in at practice. >> it's like the best thing that has ever happened to me since i'm in america. >> the best thing. >> yeah. >> reporter: the undefeated saints is a team like no other. they have two players from nigeria, 6-foot nine junior phylicia and 6-foot four senior christina. neumann goretti's starting lineup features four division one college players and they have nine on their roster who were expected to play at the next level. this team is built to win. >> we do have some unfinished business. last year we finished 29 and one. we did win the league, we won district 12. our goal is to get back to the statements as special as this is to be the number one ranked team in the entire country neumann goretti won't be satisfied until they win a steatite telly they came oh so close last year losing in the championship game. this team hopes to finish the job th

peter neumann, welcome back to the newshour. is there any doubt that this man is the man in those terrible videos? >> i don't have any doubts. i think confirmations have come from different angles, and i read today that a member of the u.s. intelligence services even though he didn't want to be named, confirmed the identity. so i'm pretty certain it is the man. >> woodruff: what is it about him that you see and his journey from being born in kuwait, moving to london. what is it about that journey that stands out to you that may be distinctive or like what you've seen happen to others who have become radicalized? >> so there's a lot of pieces of the puzzle that we do not have yet. it's certainly not unusual for someone from fairly middle-class background who went to university to become radicalized. it is a fallacy to think that you necessarily have to be poor and uneducated to become attracted to that kind of ideology. what we often observe with people like that is that wherever they come from, they do not feel that they have a

neumann-goretti is where our chris murphy is. chris?guys, they are good, watching them do their practicing, free throws, and they don't miss. so they'll go into one of their drills right now. while they do that, i'm going to talk with their head coach andrea peterson. andre, a you guys are 21 and zero this year, head today playoffs on thursday. >> yes. >> so, tell us what makes these ladies so good. >> well, these ladies, this is special group of young women who work hard on and off the court. they have such an amazing bond with each other. one thing we emphasize, is family just one big family. we have fun. we love to play basketball. >> so tell me about some of the players. first every all, the tallest player i see over here what six-nine. >> that's felicia only a junior. >> okay, and she is one of the players that has i am great from the africa? >> that's correct, nigeria. >> very good. and how is their play? i mean, different than what you've seen. >> when they first came here, you know, they've grown so much as basketball players, a

peter neumann and clint watts, thank you. >>> the trial of aaron hernandez.y he was laughing during witness testimony. we'll take you live to the courthouse. >>> former nfl star aaron hernandez wrapped up court today with what appeared to be a laugh. look at this video. arguably odd, obviously, for someone on trial for murder. and this came on a day of very technical testimony about cell phones. cnn's national correspondent susan candiotti joining me from outside that massachusetts courtroom. susan, the prosecution showed hernandez's phone records from the days that were surrounding odin lloyd's murder. what stood out to you? >> reporter: i'll tell you one thing that stood out. there were a lot of text messages. we also learned something about who saves text messages the company in question here sprint testified that because there are so many of them the system can't handle it and so they actually do not preserve text messages that you and i send that we all send. so unless you happen to save it you don't get it. now, in this case the prosecutors had some of

lieutenant neumann and sergeant thorn begin by reviewing the tape. >> okay.he suspect's walking across the "d" room and the victim is walking toward him, and unexpectedly, the suspect begins to punch the victim repeatedly. oh. >> didn't look like that guy threw any punches at all. >> looks like an assault. >> absolutely. yeah. like gill throws every strike. so gill just catches him off guard and just -- >> i don't see harvey throw any punches at all. he might have put his hands up to defend himself. but he was clearly looking down. >>> coming up -- >> i could be wrong, but i'm pretty much right. >> antoine gill pleads his case to authorities. >>> and brandy nyp calls home. >> are you sad? you sound like you're crying. cr. we're both between 35 and 45 years old. we both like to save money on car insurance. and we're both really good at teaching people a lesson. um, let's go. cool. sit down! alright. sorta you, isn't you. only esurance has coveragemyway. it helps make sure you only pay for what's right for you, not someone sorta like you. i think i blacked out

my card gardening and women who were there from virginia, and then ambassador neumann said you'd let iraq take your eye off the ball in afghanistan. iraq polls our attention away. when we're in afghanistan, that pulled some attention away. at that point time in '06 he was worried about the same thing happening. i have been calling on congress since june. we need to be in this battle against isil and we need to be strong. i'm going to support strong motor action against isil but i am nervous and they think we do need to use history as our guide and not let the battle against isil deflect any attention away from the situation in afghanistan and our continued need to harvest and accelerate the gains we have made there. sebastian saavedra comment. as we get into the discussion i some the discussion i slump of amateur were not taking our eye off the ball in afghanistan and the great work we are doing. you indicated you don't think the taliban is not an existential threat to the nation. we had testimony last year from her predecessor that corruption could be an existential threat to the na
