Interview, tony harris conversation with Michael Browns mother one year after her son was killed in the ferguson. The Obama Administration is just suffering a major set back in the push to get rebel forces to fight for u. S. Interests in syria. The u. S. Military officials have now been forced to acknowledge that rebel troops trained by the u. S. Are refusing to go into battle. Jaime mcintyre is live at the pent gone with the latest, jaime. David you take a very complicated situation on the ground and an incomplete understanding by the u. S. Military and that results in a major miscalculation. And an embarrassing set back, the u. S. Sent the first of its trained and equipped fighterred into northern syria, the so called 54, that were going to embed with moderate Syrian Opposition forces but never thought that the front, linked to al quaida would engen those forces that turned out to be a very flawed assumption, and on friday of last week, there was an attack, it had to be repelled with u. S. Air power and what happened a lot of those u. S. Trained fighters took a look around and said hey, we are not here to fight them, we are out of here. And a lot of them left, some of them didnt even make it there, what has happened now is the u. S. Has suffered an embarrassing situation where these fighters that they touted as being the antiisil forces are not in a position to carry out that mission. And it calls into question the whole strategy. The pentagon Spokesman Navy captain said we have we never had any illusions about the challenges that we would face on the ground there syria, he said it is a very difficult situation there. Its a war zone, we do remain committed to the success of the program and the success doesnt hinge on any one incident or any one group. He also said we acknowledge their challenges but the idea that we were caught flat footed by the idea that we would be sending people into a very dynamic and rapidly changing situation is not accurate now the pentagon will have to regroup and decide what to do with these fighters as we have another couple of hundred in the pipeline that they were hoping to send in soon. The 54 that have decided to split, do they know where they went. Not exactly as i said, 18 of them look like they are stuck in turkey and never made it to the fight a small number seem to be still with the division 30 that they were embedded with, the moderate syrian forges one was killed but there are a lot unaccounted for and officials concede deserted. Jaime mcintire reporting. Today mark as new phase in the 2016 president ial campaign the republican candidates are now gathering for the first debate, and tonight, in prime time, the top 10 will participate in the main event. The potential for clashes between front runner donald trump and the rest of the field make this depate particularly intrigues but the issue with the most lasting political significance can revolve around how the Top Republican candidates talk about Womens Health concerns. The message can be especially important given the location of tonights debate. Michael shore reports from cleveland. By holding not just their national convention, but their first debates tonight in cleveland the Republican Party is being anything but cavalier in its effort to win the swing state of ohio next year. The party has never won the white house without winning ohio. An analyst at the university of Virginia Center for politics. Are people going to vote for the republicans over the democrats at the convention here no, probably not but maybe it helps in organizing and getting enthusiasm getting up enthusiasm among women is one critical challenge. Closely mirroring his deficit nationally among women. Of 5445. Now concern over remarks by jeb bush hasnt helped the cause. I am not sure we need half a billion dollars for Womens Health issues. Democratic candidates wasted no time responding via twitter. At jeb bush you are absolutely unequivocally wrong. The bush comment came days after Senate Republicans failed to get the 60 votes they needed to end federal funding of planned parenthood former ohio state senator sees this as a problem for the party. To me by extension their war against planned parenthood is really that disrespect of women. When you scale it down. The release of video showing planned parenthood executives talking casually about fetal tissue donations has created a debate before the debate. The abortion issue is a big line of demark case between the parties. And the planned parenthood piece is part of that, and it is going to come up a lot. From clevelanders we talked with it already is. As a Roman Catholic i have strong issued on planned parenthood, as religious believes would lead me to believe its much i am for womens issues my religious beliefs would agree with them to defund it. What about womens rights and what about Womens Health issues in do those mat tore you . Do you want to hear that. I do, because obviously it is important to me, and to other members of my family, and how the health costs for Women Healthcare issues are covered. Do you think you will hear that from republicans tomorrow. I do not. Why is that . I dont think they care. This play present an opportunity for the candidates tonight ashes chance to stand apart with a softer line than that of their party. But thats risky. If you are a command day particularly one that may be regarded as being not sufficiently conservative like a Chris Christie or john kasich, do you want to poke your party in the eye on another issue. It has become an issue there wont be a woman on stage, but womens issues almost certainly will be. Michael shore, al jazeera cleveland. According to a survey earlier this year, terrorism ranks as the highest issue for voters. The reporter for Foreign Policy magazine. Theres no doubt that the. Out of out of weariness that existed. In the aftermath of iraq and afghanistan. How macho each other when it comes to talking about very aggressive steps they would take to counter the state militant group in iraq and in h syria. The donald trump has said that he has a beautiful plan for defeating isis, but we havent seen any specifics. The only candidates that has offered specifics that said he would be up for at least 20,000 combat troops in iraq and syria he didnt poll well enough to even make the debate so we wont be hearing things like that. John hudson noted that the other International Issue likely to come up is the iran nuclear deal. All the republicans have come out against the deal.

This morning president obama published an add in many newspapers urging the public to defend the act. But several states including election phrase, have been trying to chip away at the law, it is costing minority voters. 50 years ago president Lindon Banes Johnson signed the Voting Rights act it outerrerred States States to start discriminating against minority voters. One of the reasons was a serious of bloody, sometimes deadly protest that took place across the south including here in the alabama. Today, some civil rights advocates say Voting Rights laws are under attack. The events that are going on in north carolina, in texas, in georgia and other jurisdictions are reminder that these struggling are not only the struggles of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s but they are contemporary. That each generation has to be vigilant. The fact is that theres still those who would like to deny the right to vote, to certain people. I will have details on the challenges to Voting Rights as an agent observes the anniversary of this law. Congress is accused the u. S. State department of playing politics.

Both suggests that there was political influence in changing the status, of certain countries such as cuba and malaysia on this years list, because of on going Foreign Policy priorities for the Obama Administration.
