the pentagon liked some of the ideas.ut, since then, he has held a series of meetings to try to get a sense of what the changes could be that would make sense, incorporate those with his own thinking. >> i don't think anyone doubts that vago muradian, -- that goldwater-nichols, the initial version, was significant. any thoughts on how this could compare? >> exactly what form it was going to take was unclear, but it is important to know that the first goldwater-nichols grew out of this disastrous attempt to rescue american hostages in iran. that had kind of a clear solution, to have the military services work more directly. now, there isn't really a problem. this might be a solution in search of a problem. >> what is next? what shoul >> on the hill, we will see what they end up doing in the near term. expect that you're going to see a lot of pentagon officials doing the same thing. >> and senator mccain is going to work with his democratic counterpart, jack reed, and really work through what these changes will be and a clo

and a lot of people look at the pentagon and think there is a secretive building. sure, there are a lot of secrets here, there better be, but important things that we're doing from the american people and want public. >> so if you go out the back door of the press office, this is the c ring, and behind me are cbs, abc, cnn, and fox, the big television networks, and in front of me, some of the radio reporters. the space is cramped and it works pretty well, this is where the press hangs out. this is the reuters news agency, and this is where the authoritative associated press works, i like to say authoritative because they are, and over here, we have a lot of publications, including a lot of web publications like the daily beast. and there's nancy, what would you tem people its like covering the pentagon. >> i think that it's great allowing the access in the building and it speaks to something else. and it's a great thing. we're at a time where it's harder and harder to find out information, and while it's great, we have to push finish the kind of transparency that t

jamie mcintyre covered the pentagon for more than 17 years. tonight jamie give us an insider's tour of that iconic building and why it's the most unique military headquarters on the planet. >> reporter: we're here on the pentagon's outer earring, and everything about the pentagon is a factor of five. there are five sides, obviously, as well as five rings and five floors and ten corridors. what really makes this building unique is this. these are the reporters that cover the pentagon, and that's me right there. the pentagon is the only military headquarters in the world that allows reporters to have offices right inside the building and gives them a free pass to go anywhere they want to go. there are 17.5 miles of corridor in the pentagon, and almost all of them are open to reporters with the exception of the super secure military command center in the subbasement. this is the briefing room. let's go have a look. so here it is. unlike the white house briefing room, which looks bigger than it really is on tv, the pentagon briefing room is actual

the pentagon says 16 u.s. military personnel have been disciplined for their role in last year's deadly attack on a hospital in afghanistan. monstrous violence in syria -- the words of the united nations. is a fresh setback for the president -- a south african court rules that a seven-year-old decision to drop charges against jacob zuma should be reviewed. we begin in the united states where a top general told a pentagon news conference earlier that 16 military personnel have been disciplined for their roles in last year's aerial bombardment of a hospital in northern afghanistan. 42 people lost their lives in that attack on a civilian hospital, which was operated by the medical charity doctors without borders. in question said the attack was a result of human errors and equipment failures. >> investigations concluded that certain personnel failed to comply with the rules of engagement in the law of armed conflict. however, the investigation did not conclude that these failures amounted to a war crime. the labe

the pentagon has never agreed to that.rning here at the pentagon is 16 members of the u.s. military facing discipline. they are not going to face we are told criminal charges but things like letters of reprimand, career-ending action if you will. we are also led to believe that a top special operations commander involved in the attack will also face discipline. actually actually several have already been removed from the job. the attack in october was absolutely horrifying. 42 civilians killed and the initial investigation showed the military was clearly at fault. a hospital is on a no-strike list at all times. apparently the crews involved the people involved thought they were striking an insurgent site but there was human error, technical error, procedural errors all of that leading the military to strike the hospital in an assault, an air assault that lasted nearly half an hour perhaps one of the most horrifying details about this the military had been told very early where the hospita was and even during the air assaul
