Kidnapped girls. Virgin galactic vow to wish on after a crash of spaceshiptwo in california a top story iraqi peshawar forces entered the syrian town of kobane, joining hundred of Syrian Kurdish fighters to take on the Islamic State of iraq and levant. The peshawar have been waiting on the border on wednesday. Reconnaissance teams are ready to begin the fight. The latest in the moment. First a report from inside kobane. By al jazeeras correspondent. Reporter we are standing in the western neighbourhoods. They represent a springboard from which Kurdish Forces are fending off the i. S. I. L. Attacks. They have a firm grip on areas to the east. To the right are the northern neighbourhoods, where the higher regions can be seen. On the rinls, turkish army and forces positioned. Monitoring and taking place inside the city. The armed Groups Joined the Kurdish Forces are deployed to the front lines, fighting i. S. I. L. Awaiting orders from the joint command, in turn awaiting for the arrival of peshawar forces, with superior equipment. This will shift the balance of power on the ground. Sources say the seed in Kurdish Forces are planning an assault against i. S. I. L. Commissions. The fight has become a major focus of attention. That is frust traiting turkish president s recep tayyip erdogan, who said there has been. Much focus on what is happening there. I want to stress one important thing about kobane. Why kobane. Why not other towns. Why not even others, iraqi territory, 40 of which was occupied by i. S. I. S. Why are we not for intervention in these areas, and only in kobane. Jamal is on the turkeysyrian boarder, a few kilometres west of kobane. Lets talk about the reinforcement of the soldiers of the troops, and the weapons. How much of a difference will they make to the fight against i. S. I. L. . Well, time will tell. Whilst they have crossed over, they have not engaged in the fight. More importantly than the soldiers is the weapons brought in. Ill step out of shot allowing the camera to zoom in to the building. A syriankurdish fighter oh has been combatting i. S. I. L. In that compound you see vehicles, some of the vehicles that crossed overnight belonging to iraqi peshawar forces. With the vehicles came antiaircraft guns and weaponry. As you say, those combatting i. S. I. L. Will tip the balance in their favour. We are not sure exactly how that will play out. Throughout the day so far, there has been also air strikes by the u. S. Led International Coalition taking place, using f 15 fighter jets which whilst they have the capability of launching air strikes, they have an added ben get of having position strikes capabilities. What we suspect is they are trying to target specific posts that have been manned by i. S. I. L. Fighters. The information coming so far is there hasnt been a major change in terms of territory held by either sigh. Time will tell. Earlier on we heard from turkeys president recep tayyip erdogan. Hoe is questioning the military focus on kobane. What do you make of his statement . Well, in terms of the turkish public here, theres skeptisism towards the issues surrounding kobane. There is confusion as to why much is made about the small town behind me, when the world witnessed several maskers by the syrian government, behind syria, including homs and hamas. It led to over 200,000 people killed. Theres questions as to why there hasnt been an International Led coalition to combat iraq, in which the country is threatening to disseminate into fragments because of the fact that i. S. I. L. Fighters take a large part. There is a lot of support for the turkish government stance, particularly as many in the public dont want the country to be dragged into a war. The bottom line is that the town behind me is on the border with turkey. Refugees that come from here come from turkey, and turkey will be effective one way for another. Whether it likes it or not. Theres a need for the turkish government to find a sol ugs use. The question is what solution is it. It rejects the y. P. G. Group, because its considered a terrorist organization. They are trying to find a third way to solve the issue. Until it continues, or one side wins the battle for the town, the conundrum forced between a rock and a hard place will continue. Its a difficult decision for turkey to make. Thank awe jamal elshayyal. Elsewhere in syria, the Opposition Group al nusra front says it has taken control of a town from a rival rebel faction.

For my part im open and available for traditional talks, until i hand over power to a democratically elected president. Opposition leaders wanted the president to resign and called on supporters to keep on protesting. Translation mr Blaise Compaore issued a statement in which he considers himself the head of state. The position repeatedly said here, that prior to discussion, it is pure and simply, un conditional that president Blaise Compaore must leave. Tuesday was the start of a Civil Disobedience Campaign called by opposition parties. Thousands took to the streets. Demonstrators stormed parliament, trying to stop the vote that would have allowed the president to run for office again. After days of violence, people hoped the president s resignation will bring an end to the violence. A political analysts says that colonel isaac zida looks to be in control.

Virgin galactic, the other groups validity will be party and theyll Work Together to look at the data and wreckage, to talk to vitnesses to figure out what went wrong, what caused the tragedy. Looking over the data, the reality is theres no federal oversight of Space Tourism. Is there an indication whether the two incidents that happened this week would prompt congress to regulate that industry . Theres some regulation that its totally the wild, wild west. Its a loose regulation. The f. A. A. Has an office that oversees commercial space travel in general. They have to approve every launch and they have inspectors at every launch. They dont approve the designs of the spacecraft. Whether it will change with this will have to see. That would be an expensive prohibitive process that these folks have to go through a design approval by the f. A. A. The idea was to encourage the industry to make the recommendation loose. Everyone that goes up, crew and passengers, would have to sign a waiver saying they know the risk of this space flight.

Theres an International Rally in solidarity with the kurd. It started. What are the organizers hoping to accomplish . Well, essentially the Kurdish Community across turkey, syria and iraq hope that more International Pressure is put on, or more pressure put on to the International Community to step up its fight in order to, as they say, save kobane from falling into i. S. I. L. Hands. However, the protests essentially its difficult to see how theyll do more already. There has been the International Coalition forked by the United States and formed by the United States and other countries in the region to combat i. S. I. L. It is important to know that the oir strikes have not air strikes have not yielded the results. They havent been able to turn the tide against i. S. I. L. , i. S. I. L.

An unmanned antares rocket carrying experiments and supplies for the International Space station was blown up after lunch above the u. S. East coast. Virgin galactic said the timing of the first commercial roll out would be made on a safetydriven schedule. Now the timetable has been thrown into uncertainty lisa stark joins us from washington d. C. Good morning to you. Theres talk that there may have been Engine Design problems. What can you tell us about that. Well, as tom mentioned in his piece, this is the 35th test flight, but the fourth time that this spaceship, spaceshiptwo tright to fly on its tried to fly on its own power, and it did so with a new mix of engine fuel. It wasnt stable. They were trialling to cop up with a new design. This was the first time they tried out the new engine fuel mix. Scale composite which makes the spacecraft for Virgin Galactic said the new fuel mix was tested on the ground, was deemed safe. It went up in the air. Well have to see if this was the problem. That will be one of the key things investigators will want to know looking at the engine and the fuel. If they were deemed safe, how big of a setback does the crash become for private space travel . Well, clearly its a huge setback for Virgin Galactic, and they planned to be the first Space Tourism flights to the nearest space, 62 mills up for passengers that wanted to go on board. It understands how risky Venture Space travel is. The c. E. O. Of Virgin GalacticGeorge Whiteside says he thinks the mission should continue and theyll move on. Here are some of his comments in a News Conference yesterday. Space is hard. Today was a tough day. We are going to be supporting the investigation as we figure out what happened today. We will get through it. The future rests in many ways on hard days like this. And, in fact, this is the second fatal accident. There was one in 2007 on the ground as they did engine testing. Again, it under scores how difficult it is. In some ways it looks easy to get into space. Anyone that worked in the business will tell you that this is risky, cuttingedge sort of stuff. Well have to see if any of the 700 or so folks that signed up to ride on a spaceship has second thoughts. Lisa stark join us from washington as lisa mentioned, it is risky. Leroy, a former n. A. S. A. Astronaut and commander of a space station joins us vie ae skype to discuss the risks. Leroy, thanks for being with us. Virgin galactic calls it a serious anomaly. Is it a good idea for people like you or me, to go into space, we have a couple of hundred thousand lying around. Its about informed consent. This is a lot harder than going into the air. You are going to go up and touch space, and it requires a lot more energy to get the vehicle up to that altitude. Its something that the f. A. A. Is working with the industry to develop an informed consent so people understand they are taking risks, and you are not just buying a ticket and getting on it, but you buy training, to you understand equipment, what the flight entails. Behind the informed consent. Lets talk about the nuts and bolts. In this accident appeared to happen 2 minutes after the plane separated. What could have caused it early in the flight . Do you think it something to do with the new fuel system . Its certainly something theyll look into, whether it had a factor in it. It could have been a coincidence that the accident happened trying the fuel mixture. There may be a link. Its too early to tell. Could be the fuel farm oulation or engine, or a structural problem with the vehicle. Well have to wait for the Accident Investigation Team to make a determination. As we mentioned earlier, hundreds of people are lining up to pay 250,000 for a chance to fly on these tourist flights. Theres no real extensive f. A. A. Oversight. Should congress regulate. Theres no doubt it will be regulated. Now per in a developing phase, its a flight test. This is normal. Look at the High Performance fighters air crafts that have been developed. Many test pilots lost their lives developing the air planes before they became operational. Its the same phase that Virgin Galactic is in. Its a flight test. Two pilots respect experienced test pilots. When you are in a test fays theres risk and youll have a mishap. Its unfortunate, tragic, but not unexpected that therell be a mishap. Joining us live via skype. Thank you for being was. A fourth teenager died from the shooting rampage last week from a Washington High School north of seattle. Shaley passed away on friday. Two other girls decide when gaolen opened fire at mairiesville high school. The popular freshman later killed himself. Hospital officials read a statement from the family our hearts are broken at the passing of our beautiful daughter. She means everything. She has been a radiant light bringing us incredible joy and happiness. She has been a loving daughter, caring sister, wonderful part of the community. We cant imagine life without her. The high school will reopen with grieve councillors had been hand monday. A holiday tragedy in california, where three teenagers outer trick or treating were killed by a hit and run. The girls were 13, two of them were twins. Officials located the car but are looking for suspect. A main nurse says shes grailful for a legal victory that allows her to move around as she pleases. Ross shimabuku is here with more. What is ms hickox saying now . Mishickox says she cares about her community, but forcing her to stay in her home while healthy is unconstitutional. She calls the judges decision a good one. Hello everyone. All hi. Nurse kaci hickox declared friday a good day after a main judge said without ebola symptoms she is not contagious, and the state cannot force her to be quarantined. Satisfied with the decision. The three points he is still recommending that i abide by are three windows that i believe part of a compromise. The three restrictions is daily monitoring, coordinating travel with officials and notifying them if symptoms appear. The judge made sure to hell hickox that she should be mindful the of the communitys fear, even if they are not rational. I am sensitive. That is where the battle is not over. We need to continue the discussion, educating ourselves. I dont want to make anything uncomfortable. Hickox was isolated last weekend when he arrived in new jersey. When he asked in main, the governor pushed for the quarantine, he is not happy about the decision. He doesnt trust hickox. She violated every promise she made. I dont trust her. I dont trust that we know enough about the disease to be so careless. Even though he disagrees with the judges decision, governor lepage says he will abide by it. Kahn dead made a dags canada made a decision, what did they choose to do. They announced theyll stop processing visa applications for people leaving west african countries ebola outbreaks. Australia took similar action days ago. Health care workers will be permitted to travel back.

The judge said he had weapons used by the military and saw no reason to charge him peshawar crossed the border of turkey and syria and are in kobane. Lets turn to jamal, on the border. Will the influx of troops make a difference in tackling the group . Time will tell. Syrian fighters will batting with fighters for weeks. Theyve been unable to move forward, despite the fact that they have been backed up by u. S. Air tricks in recent weeks. They are hoping that that heavy weaponry that came with the iraqi Peshmerga Forces, and the heavy weaponry. It will sway the battle in their favour. So far we are yet to see any of those results yielding on the ground. Have been hearing throughout the day some loud explosions, some not so loud taking place. Many mortar fire and sporadic gun fire and sniper fire. We have seen the air crafts belonging to the International Coalition flying over kobane. The battle is going on. Whether this latest contingency will sway things, time will tell. Jamal. What about the politics of all this. Turkey ha issues with letting them cross the border. Why did the turkish Prime Minister suddenly change his mind . Well, turkey finds itself in a strange position. Because on the one hand it considers the kurdish fighters who are fighting i. S. I. L. In kobane as a terrorist organization. And the y. P. G. , they are considered a terrorist organization. They consider i. S. I. L. An organization. Its why it pushed to make one against the other. At the same time it is the country that borders syria. Its a country that housed. Its essentially been effective since the fighting broke out in syria. The turkish president finds it peculiar that the community bangs on about it, when larger massacres have taken place. They believe there was consistency, and is trying to find a third way to solve the issue that wont drag turkey into a law it doesnt want to fight. Jamal on the turkish, syrian boarder. Boko haram is denying a ceasefire with the government and has no plan to release the missing girls. The groups leader has been converted to islam. And have been married off. Back in act. They announced a ceasefire did said the ceasefire would be free. Theres a battle for power in burkina faso, leading to charge protests. Crowds gathered outside the army hours and started to cheer when they heard the president resigned. The leader had been in charge for 17 years, and the secondincommand. And an army chief were the two vying. The state department issued a travel alert. Saying stay tuned. Shes causing a stir. In a rural part of the country that rarely sees television camera, the legal ram iffic hagss for nurse casey hickox an a judge sided with her in a boatel after ebola quarantine and Human Remains Found in a mans home. Police are grasping their heads. A firsttime mother. She has done well. There were 30 of them left in the world until now. A record setting litter of king cheetahs giving hope to an endangered species. Youll never guess where they were born. Stay tuned. Hick the world until now. Hick hick we dont know what we dont know about ebola. Im concerned, but he ruled. As a governor, i took an oath to honour the rules of the court and the laws, and ill do that all right, maines governor disagrees with the judge who agreed with kasi hickoxs request. He said without symptoms, she cannot be forced to stay indoors. Jamie floyd joins us now. What steps can the state of maine make if they dont like the judges decision. They said that they will not make it forward. They could have a hearing before the same judge. This is the chief juftening of the district in judge of the district in main. Governor lepage, in his statement said we are going to abide by the law, indicating that they are not going to go furthers and suggests that this was a lot of political grandstanding. What about other people. Does this decision present other people from suing her . No, neighbours could sue. This is not binding on any other state. This is just specific to maine. Specific to maine. As her lawyer said, others will probably take it as guidance, other judges in other states, other Health Officials, its not binding on anyone but maine, it has precedential value, but no binding on anyone. What about kasi hickox, if she sued the state. She could, she threatened to shoe, only because they wanted her in doors. This judge sided with kasi hickox, and said in the end we are being ruled by fear. We need to be ruled by science and she really only has to follow the c. D. C. Guidelines, monitor her position. Be visited, which she agreed. And get to an emergency room if she has symptoms. She was only going to sue if they forced her to stay indoors. Shes happy, the governor is not happy, but says hes not going forward. I think its the end of it in maine. Ut mentioned the governor is not happy. The fear is reel. He wanted her to take a blood test to prove she does not have it. She has taken a couple of blood tests. This is where the science and public have a disconnect. You cant do much. You have to wait until you are symptom attic. They have a 21 day waiting period. What kasi hickox wanted to do, and we can thank the governor, is educate the public. It helped to educate the public. Its a benefit. You can read the judgement. Its a 4page opinion. And he spends a fair amount of time on the science and talks about miseducation and misinformation. And its an easier opinion to read. Thanks for joining us, jamie demroid, al jazeeras legal contributor there are reportedly 30 king cheetahs left in the world. Its giving the species hope. Kayla ford has more. Daisy and ellie are siblings, wrestling, jumping and getting the hang of being the fastest mammals on earth. Almost two months old, they are part of a litter of eight.

The center limits visitors, and focuses on providing large quiet spaces for animals to breed. She welcomed plenty of babies, but the birth of these is extra special. Cheetahs are difficult. The population that spanned africa and asia dwindled 90 . Habitat laws left them vulnerable. Theres fewer than 7,500 in the wild. She had a huge territory, up to 57 square miles. That is well overlapping the boundaries of the nature reserves. When they come into contact with humans, we are competing for the same land. They want the savannah land which, to a cheetah is perfect for hunting and running. To the people that live there, thats perfect for grazing land for cattle and goats. Reporter the centers programme is focused on genetic diversity. They will pass on the between in zoo populations. Thanks to a programme, in the wild as well. When two of the cubs are a year old.

Welcome back to Al Jazeera America. Thank you for spending your morning with us here. Im morgan radford, these are the top stories. Federal inspectors will try to figure out what accused Virgin Galactic spaceshiptwo rocket disaster. One pilot was killed and another injured during the crash. Virgin officials called the accident a serious anomaly another student died from the shooting rampage at a High School North of seattle. A 14yearold girl died of her injuries, two other girls were killed by fellow student gaolin, who turned a gun n himself. Maine nurse kasi hickox is free to move around as she wishes. A judge rejecting the state adds argument to quarantine her. A judge ruled she was in the contagious but must self monitor i. D. Laws in texas for voting. Some have given up on the idea of voting. Heidi zhoucastro has one mans story. Reporter eric kenny nose the streets of austin texas well. He was born here 46 years ago and said he never left, not once. Born and raised in austin. Reporter he lives a simple life, sifting through garbage to collect mettle to sale to a scrap yard. He considers himself a good citizen. And he delights in performing his civic duty to vote. He cast a ballot in almost every general election since turning 18. I sat with my grandpa. He told me about the need to vote. Reporter why . At the polls, no one judges kenny for what he wears, look of a permanent home or what he does for a living. He says its one of the few places hes counted as an equal. Reporter your voice is as important as anyone elses in that moment. That must have made you feel good. It did. But not any more. Kenny is among the 600,000 texas voters who do not have a form of voter i. D. Required at the polls. For him, its not for a back of trying. What is wrong with this i. D. Its 14 years old. It expired. It buyered. Expired. Then you went to get a birth certificate. And what is wrong with it . Got a different name than my i. D. Card. Okay. Because this has the wrong last name, your birth certificate and doesnt match the expired i. D. I cant get my i. D. Reporter you are stuck. Yes. Reporter kennys birth certificate lifts his mothers maiden name like his. To vote tuesday, kenny would have to change his last name. He says he has too much pride and too little money to do that. And will have to sit the election out. I see a lot of people who vote. I want to vote. Look at it. He finds himself shut out of a democratic process, his voice tossed aside president obama heads to detroit to campaign for u. S. Senator gary peters. On friday he was in rhode island speaking about the economy and issues involving women. He spoke in favour of paid family leave, reproductive rights and increasing the minimum wage to 10 polls show voters wants more choices for congress. Many are frustrated with the democratic and republican parties. Third parties cant seem to get their foot in the door. Reporter americans are fed up with the due op ollie of democrats and republicans that dominated. Evidence in the polls and on the streets. Political parties, i feel disenfranchised. I feel i dont know which speaks to me or represents me or my concerns. Im probably in line with most of the america, frustrated at the gridlock. A survey shows 60 say America Needs a third party. There should be other parties to choose from because its a democratic society. There are more than two parties in the mix. This politician, going door to door is proof. Im michael fine stein former mayor. Green party mayor michael fine stein is running for a councillor, a city where he served as mayor. The media covers us as a feature story or a spoiler to a system that is spoilt when you are trapped into a choice of choosing the lesser of two evils, you end up with the evil of two lessers. Its a political system that is less and less representative. Green said, libertarians and others have fully thought out ideologies and platforms. When it comes to congress or the white house, they cant get a foot in the door. Why. Money is politics. In todays political environment, with the cost of campaigning being what it is, with an overwhelming discussion with institutions, not only the major parties, but Political Parties as an institution, its a long, hard fruital climb for a third party in this country. Indications are both are losing clout. 42 of voters describe themselves as ibb dependent. More than either republicans or democrats. Because of money, tradition and organization, the two main parties ruled. I dont care for either one of them. I believe in the country. The voters are as guilty as the media, as the politicians, in allowing to monoliths to control the political debate. As much as americans disdain politicians and their parties, they appear to be stuck with a system they have got. Al Jazeera America will bring you the results from all around the country on views night, november 4th, our America Votes begins at 7 00p. M. Eastern, and well have continuing coverage here on wednesday morning. One of the worlds holiest and contested sites is open it the public today. Its known as temple mount to the jews, and the noble sanctuary for the muslims. It allows men of over 50 to pray. The area closed the day before after a farright rabbi was shot. The closure, the first in 14 years sparked international outrage. We speak to an assistant professor at the school from the American University of the washington d. C. Thank you for being with us. Some see the tension has people worried about a third intifada, is that a third assessment of the situation on the ground. Its a bit extreme to call it a third intifada. I think the top priority needs to be restoring palm. What would have to happen to restore the calm. Some israeli officials are preparing for months of violence . I think of paramount importance is both leaders, Prime Minister binyamin netanyahu, and president mahmoud abbas. Both must refrain from engaging in provocative unilateral steps, and the neutral recrimination that is adding fuel to the fire. What do you think are the provocative steps you just described. In Binyamin Netanyahus case, gaving in to demands made by settlers and supporters and the government, who, you know, want them to expand the settlements to build Housing Units in the west bank. In the case of mahmoud abbas, it is going to International Legal bodies, and the u. N. , making demands that he should make at the negotiating table with israel. What demands should he make instead of bringing them to the International Bodies . The idea is to negotiate a 2state solution. Palestinians get a sovereign state. That ought to be negotiated and not declared unilaterally. Sweden voted to recognise the palestinian state. Does that complicate things . I think it does. Its a symbolic vote. Theres no palestinian state. Even if other countries join in. The idea is to put pressure on israel to act. It is of utmost importance for the two sides to get back and resume negotiations. Otherwise any kind of measures they take temporarily to restore confidence will only be temporary measures. Its a band aid solution, a fix. In the long run, only by negotiating the core issues of a conflict, security, borders, settlements, refugees, jerusalem, will they be able to achieve real stability. Given how dell date the core issues are, what role can the u. S. Play in the escalation . The u. S. Is an essential player. The mediatios piece with egypt would not have happened had it not been for the United States. The peace treaty would not have occurred. Unfortunately, president obama seems to be bogged down with impressive Foreign Policy these days, and the Peace Process took a back seat. Republicans, when the senate you can expect hands will be tide on this and other issues. Author of why hawks become doves. Guy, thank you for being with us this morning. Thank you for having me, appreciate it an american man held in a north korean prison for six months is speaking out Jeffery Fowle was released after being gaoled in may for leaving a bible in a bar. He hoped that it would get in the hands of an underground Christian Church in north korea. At the time i fete compelled to do with it. That god would take care of it, once i left the bible. In the christian organization. If that doesnt happen, no problem. Jeffery fowle now admits the risk to spread the gospel was too high for his family in ohio on investigation is under way in relation to two skulls found. They came from the home of an 89yearold man whose now deceased son bought them online. He doesnt thing his son knew that they were real. It was an unusual discovery. They were on the mantle on the side of the room. There were magazines and occult its. Dvds, amuments, crystals. He was like a new age metaphysical site. If i was superstitious, i may not a slept. They belonged to an older man and woman. Officials are conducting testing we want to correct something. In a story about the arraignment of eric frein, we told you he was accused of killing two state troopers. Hes charged with killing one and injuring that mans partner. Eric frein was arraigned on friday following a 48day manhunt. Prosecutors are seeking the Death Penalty. Wild Winter Weather sweeping through the windy city. Dave warren is tracking that. This will be a big system affecting not only the central part of the country, but the northeast. This is wind creating high waves and rough surf line along the coast. 20 foot waves, happening when you get a wind set up that goes along the length of michigan, and closing the drives there. We have the snow coming down, not a record of snow fall. Just an indication of the cold air in place. This is the start of the developing storm that will affect the northeast. Theres wind setting up over lake michigan. They have a surface low developing off the coast. Cold air. First time the temperature drops to freezing. The southeast understand frieze work. The upper low and surface low combining. Looking at close to a foot of snow in main. Wind gusts over 15 miles per hour. Speaking of whacky weather, hawaiis weather is not the only rumbling to life right now. We take you to costa rica after the break. Oh, absolutely . Exclusive oneonone interviews with the most interesting people of our time. Youre listening because you want to see whats going to happen. I want to know what works what do you know works . Conversations you wont find anywhere else. Talk to al jazeera. Only on Al Jazeera America. Oh my ash tonnes to flow from a volcano, spewing ash for a Third Straight day, and began to rumble on wednesday. Ash reached san jose on high alert. The eruption is the largest, and some nearby communities have been evacuated. Women are breaking the class ceiling for the first time in more than a century, and are doing it under water. The u. S. Navy says tr enlisted senior enlist k said sailors will be allow soon. Reporter travelling the depths of the ocean, they call themselves the silent service. For 110 years, a brotherhood of mariners, no women. This is a popular place. It is. Reporter until four years ago when women were allowed on subs k. You are the only woman here. Im the only woman. Reporter lieutenant leanne riley serves with a crew of 140 me. This is where logistic specialists work out. They manage the repair parts on the subs k. Im in assault occasioning actual bodily harm marines. Im in here a solid 10 hours of the day. Its the reality of submarine life. Here is an example of the living quarters. Hallways are 2 feet wide. Around the corner is a state room. This is where the officers sleep and spend personal time. Here is a bed. There are three of them to a room. When enlisted women are allowed on board. Therell be nine to a room, slightly bigger. The navy made the announcement it will allow enlisted women, not just officers, as part of an effort to integ grate the force. They will not have the same amount of privacy or authority as officers. It has female veterans worried. The first reaction was whoa, theyll probably be in trouble. Theyll be in an enclosed space for a long time with a lot of men. Women in those situations can be at high risk for Sexual Assault. Sara is a retired army captain, nurse and author of a book about abuse in the military. We spoke with an officer that served for two years, and she said she has no problems. Thats good, really good. I know from the interviews i did, i interviewed 60 women, world war ii to the counter day. I know that officers have a very different experiences than enlisted. The defense departments recent report on Sexual Assault found the vast majority were young enlisted women. Officers represented 6 of amounts. We talked to Navy Veterans that had grave concerns. What is the navy doing to combat that . Most sailors will tell you that they are used to the drum beat. Treating each other with respect and dignity. As lieutenant riley wears dolphin, a high achievement. She is forming a path this year the pentagon reported 5,061 cases of Sexual Assault. And in a separate report they revealed 1400 complaints of Sexual Harassment had been filed in 2015. They found 95 of the perpetrators were men. Joining us now is a clinical psychologist joining us via skype. The numbers we gave are only of reported case, but the estimated numbers are here. Why is that . There seems to be a stigma attached to serviceman and women speaking of whats to them once they do. The reason we see the underreporting is a belief this if i make a report, theres likely to be anything that happens with it. And a fear of retaliation, and nothing will be done about it. Theres a lot of fear that holds people back from making a report. Its interesting. We saw motorcycle. The sleeping arrangements are close. Is there a legitimate concern for Sexual Harassment for the women entering the submarine. Theres a legitimate concern. Its an unfortunate concern. A submarine doesnt leave someone to harass. It speaks to a need for training. Are the odds more likely, sure. It doesnt have to be the case. This is on the navy to get the training right so women feel they are part of the group. I want to switch gears for a minute. A Columbia University stupid is carrying her mattress around campus, until the assailant is repelled. Her protest is putting a spotlight on what too many have gone through. Psych logically what happened. What happens when a victim of scpum assault remains intact. When a person is forced to replay it, its a retrauma. Theres no sense of closure for the victim, its an unacceptable consequence. This kind of situation doesnt repeat itself. It is as though the healing doesnt begin. A viral video shows a woman stepping out. This video was done by the nonprofit organization. Lets take a look. All right. What we see in this video is called street harassment. Could it be considered Sexual Assault . I think on some level it can. The definitions of assault and harassment are close to each other. I think the idea of space being violated and you being threatened. Its what is happying. It points to the video. Someone walking aside an unwanted. That feels like assault. Its a violation of a boundary, and its a threat. So many women are feeling threatened. Why do so many men do it . Its about power and profiling. In the moment the man has the power, and the women have gotten used to it. The video does the one thing of highlighting that women have gotten used to this, that we dont Pay Attention to it happening. They thing they have power. So for just a brief moment in the day or many in their day. They have the moment, and women keep putting up with it, because they dont feel like they have a voice to change it. If we are told this is okay, this is boys being boys. Thats not okay. Thank you doctor, a clinical psychologist, joining us via los angeles. Thanks for having me. Actress geena davis founded an institute on gender in media working with the entertainment world to improve female representation on scene and spoke with stephanie sy about the work she does. I think its incredibly important not to sexualize the female characters in entertainment made for little kids. Its not a good reason why you would. One disturbing thing we found in the United States research was if g rated animated movies, the female characters wear the same amount of sexually revealing clothing as those in r rated movies. In g rated. Cartoons. Animated. Sexually revealing has a specific meaning, its revealing something. And its pervasive. And we wanted to look at that globally as well. It turned out that a female character was twice as likely to be shown in sexual situations. And sexually revealing clothing. Who is to blame. I dont think its necessarily that we need to assign blame. I think theres a lot of unconscious buyers. You can see more of stephanies interview with geena davis. This afternoon at 5 00 p. M. Eastern. Theres a major winter storm bearing down right now. We are looking at this developing. Snow, gusty winds to chicago. Theres an upper low and a surface low combining and intensifying over the next 24 hours. This area of low pressure off the coast. Tremendous intensification in the next 1224 hours.
