they believe this whole thing started as a sexual harassment scam against the navy. elise makdessi made a videotape and written journal claiming that five men sexually assaulted and raped her while on duty at the naval air base where she worked. despite her claims on the tape, the navy says she never filed any charges against these men. >> sexual harassment, sexual assault and rape. >> but eddie and elise needed forensic evidence, so they invited one of the men she named in her journal, quincy brown, over to their apartment for a sexual threesome. >> elise would have claimed that quincy had raped her, and therefore, they would have been able to pursue their sexual harassment claim. >> on the night of the crime, there was no assault outside their apartment. when they returned home from dinner, quincy brown called their apartment at 9:36, most likely to confirm their date. >> hello? he said he'll be here in 15 minutes. >> okay, let's get ready. >> investigators believe eddie set the scene by tying elise to the bed. to quincy brown, it would appear to be a bondage fantas

police commanders faced when responding to the shooting at the navy yard in september. there was a major communications breakdown where police officers did not know there was live video showing the gun man's path. entire reeve examine the report and is live at the navy yard to tell us what it reveals. >> this is the report we have been talking about, first obtained by "the washington post." it said that officers acted with her a free and skill but there were also major problems. bravery andd with skill, but there were major problems. a day of chaos and carnage. over the course of 69 minutes, a literary contractor aaron alexis gunned down 12 people before he was fatally shot i the police. according to an internal review, there were problems within first minutes. since the navy yard had its own emergency call center, changed after the 2009 ford hood shooting, several emergency calls were not relayed to city dispatchers. many employees in the classified area were not allowed to take their mobile phones into the building, unable to send out information or receive emergency a

the navy was still with us too chucking in shells ahead of us. even miles. then we were told to stand fast and dig in. next morning they heard the news from the bbc. it sounded great. we joined up all along the bridge head. there was 45 miles of it. we had got a foothold. we were in. >> a portion of the film "true glory" and joining us is mark harris who has been researching the directors from this period. as you look back at that film, what are your impressions? >> you know, the english film makers, the men in the british army film unit were really pureless at putting together these documentaries. not only did home front audiences in england find them very stirring, but they played well in america too. the england had a head start on the film making effort in the war and their documentaries including early ones like desert victory really sparked a sense of competition in u.s. film makers. there was a lot of open discussion in the war department and with people like frank capra saying why aren't our movies this good? why isn't the material we're g

intent if you will and so there have been a lot of improvements and were shown as if the navy wants to they can take measures to operate more safely having said that there are still stranded there was one in crete two months ago during joint exercises with the u.s. and the greek and this really navies in crete and their five stranded so it's there are improvements that need to be more vigilance and so yeah the navy needs to train with sonar for going to use sonar do they have to train a marine habitats is that you know whale habitats is the question and it's a big ocean so we'd like to think they don't have to at least not when whales are migrating through there that they can work around there seems reasonable do you get any sense from the navy that they are willing to collaborate on trying to minimize the damage well i think the navy doesn't want the whales washing ashore they're very sensitive to their images good stewards of the ocean and when they're seen to be able portrayed this otherwise they don't like that so they are they've they've been on the forefront of trying to avoid

that they are willing to collaborate on trying to minimize the damage well i think the navy doesn't want. the whales washing ashore they are very sensitive to their images good stewards of the ocean and when they're seen to be or portrayed as otherwise they don't like that so they are they've they've been on the forefront of trying to avoid ship strikes with the with the right whales but you know when it comes to what is their main tactical sonar weapon which is my frequency sonar which is mounted on virtually every word is a blanket well it's considered a weapon system that's what it's a weapon system it's part of but it's i will suppose it's a way of well it's sound it's not eyeballs it is high intensity sound being projected into a space to light it up with so but it's lit up you're trying to find a submarine so you can kill it so it's part of a larger weapon system but it's it is what they rely on so they're not going to give that up without a fight in their history thank you so much for me thanks for having great having. to. resort to personal stuff but i want to know what it's

he had gotten the navy to agree almost a year before the war to let him create something that came to be known as the field photo unit. it was a sort of intended as an axillary in which he recruited cameramen and soundmen and film editors from hollywood studios who would spend their weekends and nights training to do things like develop film on a listing ship and, you know, shoot film under wartime conditions. in some ways, it was kind of a lurk. forward really loved ceremony and military procedure and dressup, but this unit became absolutely crucial during the war when it was called into action to shoot documentaries. >> two of the most significant events, d-day where john ford witnessed the events unfold on omaha beach and the battle of midway in which he was wounded, correct? >> yes, the battle of midway was the first time that a major american film maker was there to film engagement. it was the middle of 1942 the war in europe was not happening yet as far as the u.s. was concerned. so all of the news, all of the concentration, all of the effort was spent in the pacific trying to h

approximately 3000 were in the navy. now,chaplains, then as served most -- both the marines and navy. drywall or two, the navy chaplains were rotated every year -- during world war ii, the navy chaplains were rotated every year. this is the way those things went. if army, on the other hand, a chaplain was assigned to the 75th infantry division, that army chaplain would remain with the infantry until the war was over. at least for the duration of his time, he would be with them, so they did not rotate. airbornee an 82nd chaplain, you were going to stay with them throughout the war, so you really got to know the troops you went with very well. the problem was it began to get in the way of knowing the troops well was the fact there were not enough to go around. i want to tell you some things about what they did. i want to tell you about a thesis of the book i wrote. i never would have expected it as i began my research. you might say, where do you find material on 12,000 chaplains are world war ii -- for world war ii? army k

they were all over the place doing it. a navy chaplain awarded the medal of honor has an autobiography i recommend to you. and it is called "i was chaplain on the uss franklin." and his heroism was utterly phenomenal, and so was a methodist chaplain on board with him. when the catholic chaplain was given the medal of honor, he said it should go to my protestant colleague as well. he did everything i did. the other man said no way, don't worry about it. he was given a silver star. you can see where some of those nearly 3000 awards came from. well, once the u.s. army began to move farther into france and then get on into belgium and the edge of germany, the tasks became variegated in a way that none of their chaplains' manuals would have taught them about. as soon as they began to penetrate france, french people did hide jews from the germans. as soon as the americans came in, the jews are coming out of hiding begging for help. now, keep in mind they would like to see aould jewish rabbi who is a chaplain. of those 12,000 thousand c

after he'd been there for about two years the navy needed pilo pilots. he had his wings and he was one of the few that flew actually in the combat. he was whatever the fifth was in 21 he was back much over his 25th birthday. they went to the knockout round placement and when they went out over the second pass of the bridge he released the last bombing of everything looked good. he was flying with the major indian air force an to the navyd he was in the division and as he came up about 500 feet off the ground here with this anti-aircraft cable stretched from one to tw him to do mountat took off the right-wing and he had to fight he needed about 350 knots and went about 20 feet off the ground and came back up and told me he said you don't want to be doing 35020 feet off the ground. that is no place to go but he managed to nurse it back ou up t he couldn't land on the carrier because if you -- he couldn't slow it down enough without rolling so they figured they could get it under 170 knots. so john carpenter stayed with him and they nursed it back to the mar

the message will be clear. in supporting our nation's modern powerful navy/marine corps war fighting team, the department of navy is minimizing the risk of misusing taxpayer dollars and maximizing accountability. the underlying fundamentals for our task are relatively simple. strong, prescribed, internal controls must be in place, regularly performed and periodically tested for effectiveness. documentation proving the controls performance must be readily available. implementation of these objectives is known to be extremely complex when applied to a very large organization such as our military department, but all the more critical in an environment of uncertainty. we're making steady progress towards our goals. our most immediate objective is complying with a mandate to achieve audit readiness on our department's schedule of budgetary activity by the end of the present fiscal year. the marine corps portion has been under audit for four cycles, and the defense inspector general issued an unqualified opinion for the 2012 schedule. in addition to the marine corps effort, our department has asserted audit readiness
