People on both sides of the aisles says there could be dangerous requests. Consequence. Lisa stark is live from washington. The report is already drawing very big reaction. Whatever the report is, if it diminishes the consequences to our country its way off base. The 480 page summary compiled by the Senate IntelligenceCommittee Reports of disturbing new details about the cias water boarding program and other harsh interrogation techniques. Allegedly used against the al qaeda detainees. Refuted by republicans on the committee according to reports, also found cia went beyond the law in those interrogation methods and even lied to congress, the department of justice, and president bush. To say that we relentlessly over expanded period of time lied to everyone about a program that wasnt doing any good, that beggars the imagination. Former cia director hayden, gleaned Little Information from al qaeda prisoners. Even then, the program had proven its wowrt that i did not in conchuns, bob, in conscience i couldnt take it off the table. Some are questioning the timing of the reports release which is expected this week and the expected backlash overseas. Secretary of state john kerry called Dianne Feinstein to express concern for american personnel and lawmakers abroad. Lawmakers on capitol hill are worried too. This is a terrible idea. Our foreign partners are telling us this will cause violence and deaths. Senator feinstein appears determined. Telling the los angeles the times sunday, quote, anybody who resists is going to never let this happen again. Lisa stark, al jazeera washington. David schuster joins us. We have been talking about this report for years, why is it set to be released tomorrow . A battle over the Central Intelligence agency and congress about what should be redacted. Senator Dianne Feinstein is convinced if she doesnt do it by the end of the year when the republicans take over the senate and she is no longer the chairman of the Senate Intelligence committee, the republicans could vote to block it. Thats her concern. Is there bipartisan support for this report . There is bilateral support for yes it should be released. Angus king of maine, susan collins, approved the report in terms of the conclusions, also approved the release. It is not strictly a partisan matter. David schuster, thank you. Nato is ending its combat mission in afghanistan and today the International Alliance lowered the flag for its headquarters in the capital, kabul. 13 years after u. S. And nato first went into afghanistan.

Government and hand he over to uruguay. The men will be integrated into uruguayan society if they decide to stay. Daniel schwindler reports. The uruguayan homes are a long way from where they cannot return to. They are being treated at two hospitals before their resettlement begins. He is hopeful now that hes out and free with proper medical care in uruguay he can get better and rebuild his life. Uruguay is providing the men with education, housing and will help them to find work. For now they are just relieved to be free, with a burning desire to be reuniunity united r families. A long way from home. The invitation was a president one from president jose mojika, himself a former prisoner. Translator thats not a prison its a kidnapping den because a prison needs some kind of law, some kind of prosecutor. The decision of the judge whoever that may be a minimum reference to the law, that place has none of that. Reporter the Guantanamo BayDetention Camp opened in 2002 to detain socalled terror suspects in the wake of the september 11th attacked. According to the Human Rights Group reprieve, the u. S. Has acknowledged hoarding 779 people at the camp to date, most of them never charged. Six years after president obama pledged to close the facility there are still 136 inmates, 67 of whom are cleared for release. But the u. S. Authorities say they cant send them home. Because of security concerns. Or their home countries are unwilling to take them back. When you talk to a prisoner in guantanamo about the future they usually raise an eyebrow at you aand say well i have no future but im happy to say thats what im here to talk to him about. When we sit down we will be talking about what he wants to do. When president obama signed the executive order to close the camp many believed it would take months but not years. But the process has proved arduous. More detainees are expected to be released before the year is out but its the others, the ones who are actually facing charges or deemed to be too dangerous to be set free that really stand in the way of the closure of Guantanamo Bay prison. Daniel schwindler, montevideo, uruguay. Mohamed hatan said his client was cleared for release by the bush administration. He was a member of an Islamic Organization called tabliji jamat studying islam doing public service. Had gone to northeast pakistan and ended up talibad guest house where he was staying for cheap looking to get into a university. It so happened that a bad guy had stayed at that place so there was a raid and like 86 of all the men in guantanamo he was picked up on a ransom. The United States paid a lot of money to people who needed a lot of money for information regarding anybody who was a little bit different. He was not pakistani he was palestinian so he and about a dozen others were picked up. Some criticism over a failure to pick up an american held in yemen. Despite that chuck hagel will not review the United States policy about people held overseas. Pierre korkie was supposed to be released as part of a deal struck by his captors. American officials were not aware of the negotiations but the Aid Group Says yemens government knew about its efforts. The Justice Department announced new rules in an effort to curb profiling, protests across the country over the deaths of black men by Police Officers. Mike viqueria joins us live from washington. Mike if you would give us some of the details about these new guidelines. Tony, you are absolutely right, it is exhaustive review by the dift Justice Department,e 2003. Now the new categories under this expansion will be national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender, and gender identity. The attorney general eric holder on his way out the door still very active now particularly when it comes to these issues of race and Law Enforcement in this country, announced the decision earlier today in some comments. Lets listen. It can be misguided it can be i think ineffective given the limited resources that we have, given the opponents we face both here and certainly overseas. We cant afford to profile, to do Law Enforcement on the basis of stereotypes. It undermines the public trust ultimately but also makes us not good at what we need to do. Now tony iforts important to note that this its important to note that this ban only applies to federal Law Enforcement not to state and local. Holder and the federal government say they will work to encourage those local Law Enforcement agencies to adhere to guidelines. Border security agents, Airport Security agents, the tsa and the secret Service Agents including here at the white house are exempted by some of those prohibitions. Civil libertarians, civil rights advocates say its a big loophole, that will endanger those in most danger of racial profiling. Mike viqueria, thank you. When it comes to Police Killings history shows that officers are rarely indicted. The numbers from 1999 to 2014, at least 179 people were killed by on duty nypd officers. Of them 27 were unarmed but over that entire 15year period only three officers were indicted. The mother of a 12yearold boy shot and killed by a Police Officer in cleveland said today that she wants the officer to be convicted. Tamia rice was shot last month as he played with a pellet gun that police say looked real. Bisi onileere joins us now and bisi what did tamir rices family and the attorney for that family have to say today . Tony, tamir rices family has hired benjamin crump, the same attorney who represented the families of Trayvon Martin and michael brown. Proves that both of these officers should be indicted right now. We also heard from tamirs mother. She shed more light on what she knew her son had been shot. Her 14yearold daughter had been tackled and handcuffed by Police Following the shooting. As i was trying to get through to my son, the police told me to calm down, or they will put me in the back of the police car. And so of course i called down. And i asked the police to let my daughter go and they wouldnt at that time. And i asked them, you know, whats going on . And they wasnt telling me anything but just calm down, calm down. Reporter and just last week the Justice Department released a report that shows that the Cleveland Police department, the officers there, have a history of engaging in force. Now, the city is working with the federal government to make reforms. Tony. So bisi, as you mentioned, the family wants cleveland to bypass the grand jury. How likely is that to happen . Reporter i tried to reach the city of cleveland but i didnt get that to happen. The city makes sure those go through a grand jury investigation. Bisi onileere, thank you, bisi, thank you.

Appeals to the secular middle class he will emphasize Economic Relief and wants to grant asylum to many african migrants. But israelis dont vote for individuals to represent them in parliament. They vote for parties. In israels history no one has won a majorities, theres always a Coalition Government. Politician here are so fraw erd fractured, netanyahus party may only wind up with 20 of the total representation. Benjamin netanyahu doesnt want any peace process. Reporter right now violence may be spiking. Israelisraels shekel may be d. Netanyahus message will be singular. It will not be a message of peace. It will be a methodica message f security. Im the only one that can handle israels security. Vote inform me and we will otherwise might die. Israeli jets launched air strikes on areas just outside syria. Surface to air missiles as well as drones that were destined for southern lebanon for hezbollah officials there along the israeli border. After those strikes were launched the centrist party here came out and said they were political, actually the beginning of netanyahus Political Campaign which we just heard is going to focus a lot on security. Tony that will give you a sense not only of the stakes that are happening here in this election put also the tone that will come out of israel for the next three months. All right, nick schifrin, in jerusalem, thank you so much. Air strikes that nick just mentioned, air strikes that have gone unconfirmed by israel, syrias foreign minister is currently in tehran for talks. Syria wants the u. N. To intervene and impose sanctions on israel because of the strikes. The u. N. Upgraded the status of palestine. The move comes as israel launches its own investigations into alleged crimes by its forces in gaza. Those crimes include the deaths of palestinian civilians.

Coming up on the program, Oil Prices Sliding hitting the lowest price in five years, and that had a big effect on the markets. Plus, noncompete prices in fast food industries, workers cant work in the same business for two years after leaving. How about this. Oil prices are at their lowest level in five years. Just over 63 a barrel. Comments from a key oil producer that prices will stay around 65 a barrel for five months. Wall street was down 106 points, as you can see here, the dow, the s p lost 15 points and the nasdaq lost 40 points. Fast food workers forced to sign contracts that prevent them for working at competing chains. Thats the case at jimmy johns . Jimmy john . Christof putzel says this is not just for sixfigure executives. This is the jimmy johns blt. No one would consider it a mystery unless you are jimmy johns. To them this simple sandwich is a trade secret to be protectat all costs. Producing a virtual lock on their salaries. Which amounts to less than minimum wage. Until recently kaitlin 25 also worked at a local jimmy johns. We met them at a nearby restaurant. We wouldnt be able to work here. End of discussion. Half the list are sandwiches. Kaitlin is talking about this, an agreement that all jimmy johns workers must sign. Preventing working for a competitor has a menu is more than half sandwiches. Waiting tables is pretty much out of the question i guess. And is this a place youd like to work . Yeah, im sure people would tip well here. Reporter under the jimmy johns agreements kaitlin and emily cant work for any competing Food Establishment in any capacity. Not just as an below but position as owner, partner, investor, manager or advisor. This map of the chicago area shows just how limited their job prospects are. Anywhere theres red they cant work for a competing business. I cant work in a gas station, i cant work at a mom and pop shop. I cant work at subway, panera, anything like that, anything that serves sandwiches. Reporter jimmy johns declined our request for an on air interview. We fold up to see why these employees have to sign these agreements. They declined that request as well. I want to try leave and do Something Different but im scared to leave. I dont know if ill be able to find anything else. Were being treated like were property of the company essentially, like we can only work there and all of the experience that we have there is useless anywhere else. Youre just a tool for them. Kristof, come on, this is crazy. No, its absolutely crazy, its practically unheard of. But its almost a method of control. This way aan employee cant negotiate for more pay, or cant go off to work for anyone any business that gets 10 of their revenue from sandwiches. A Convenience Store or gas station as one woman in your piece says. And jimmy johns is in 48 states. This woman wants to move to go to colorado, she wants to start a life but she cant. Shes worried, her background of working is in the Food Industry and she cant actually work in the Food Industry. Well, wait a minute. Jimmy johns hasnt actually gone after a former employee whos taken a job at a Convenience Store at a gas station, concome on. They havent. But theyre asking every one of their employees to sign this. A woman is still work there and doesnt feel she can leave because where else would she go . Its a way to retain their employees and keep them in line and that way dont dream big kids, theres incorporate tolls go. You sign a noncompetes base e youre getting a significant bump in pay in order to do so. Not the case. These employees are working just above minimum wage. Youre kidding me. These are not high paid executives with the trade secrets of the company. These are people doing the dloifertiondloirs,deliveries, c.

Six days afterring the grand jury decided not to indict the officer in the eric garner choke hold death. We are back in a moment. A a madoffs secretary. An unimaginable story of betrayal. They lived this incredible life. It just never occurred to me that they were living on the dime of the clients. Greed. Bernie was stealing every nickel but he wasnt trading anything. And entitlement. You took my grandchildrens future away from them. A new protest today six days after a grand jury did not indict the Police Officer who put eric garner in a choke hold. Rallies are taking place across the country and some turning violent. Roxana saberi has the story. Roxana. Over the last 24 hours some have grown intense and violent. These protesters in new york surprised commuters on monday morning, temporarily shutting down a bridge during rush hour. In las vegas, demonstrators staged what they call a diein. And in washington, d. C. They marched outside the capital. All united by a desire for justice. University of michigan library. The goal was one, for us to be seen, two for us to be heard and three for us to be respected. Twitter, facebook and tumblr to be visible. Police say they played five arrests on sunday night. People were throwing these, breaking it, people with mostly covered faces of course and people started walking up and taking some of the bottles. Protesters, with a royal shutdown, when the prince and principlprincess appear at a bal game. Iris baez, officer fran lebote was indicted but a judge being are rlg acquitteacquitted. Iris, i met you a few seconds ago but a pleasure having you on the program. Tell me about these pictures. This is my son anthony baez. He was murderby officer lebote. And this was nicholas takewell junior who was killed playing in the stairwell of the projects. Today, theres no justice. Were talking about 20 years back. New york killed by police in cold blood. Dating back 20 years youre telling me. Yes. This man he had six children and he was in a restaurant cooking and then he heard a noise and he came out with a knife in his hand and they shot him. Its multiracial, tell me iris what happened to your sob. My son was playing in the front yard with a football. The football touched the patrol car. How old was your son . He was 29. It was a football, they setback so they wouldnt hit the patrol car. At the time that lavote got out and put my son in a choke hold he was being monitored by his sergeant. That lavote was not supposed to have any contact with the community. Really, really . He had 15 prior complaints he abused the community yet he was allowed to continue. So there was plenty of information on the record about this particular officer right . Yes, yes. Were you surprised at all by the decision of the grand jury in Staten Island not to return the indictment . No. Why . Because i knew it away going to happen was going to happen. Why . Because everybody has a uncle or cousin whos a Police Officer and everybody need to to help them to make cases. They work together. I want an independent prosecutor, but not with any ties with the police. Independent. Of anyplace in the state . Anywhere. Mayor deblasio says, help is coming. Do you have faith in mayor deblasio . 20 years ago pataki said police would get training. There was going to be a major change, d. A. Says, heads would roll, im still waiting for heads to roll. In your sons case . In every case. You were promised and it didnt happen is that what youre saying . There was perjury all over and nothing happens to nobody. But if change is going to have to happen it has to be change within the department. Inside the mans Office Inside the governors office. Inside not from outside, were not going to do nothing outside, but just give them more leeway to put us in jail, find out who you are, make up a story, because the first thing they put out is, your record of the victims. Not the police. Did they do that in your sons case . Yes, they tried to do everything. But the only thing they could come up with, he had asthma. The asthma went when he was 15. And that was a contributing factor, if he was in a choke hold it wouldnt have killed him. Like garner, they put his hands behind him and dragged him. Do you think if the protests are effective theyll lead to change . It will bring awareness and bring more people into it, asking questions, but it will really do nothing until we can make a change within the department. Heres the question im asking everyone and i think youre a perfect person to ask this question of. What do you think is at the root at the core of the mistrust the training. Between brabetween black andn communities . We need to have residency, thats what were asking for 19 years ago, we were asking for residency and they didnt give it to us, they gave us cpr and the car. You want cameras body cameras, cameras on the cars, cameras on the weapons . Look he can say he knocked down my camera. Thats nothing. Thats just a waste of taxpayers money. Iris its great to see you. Thanks for being here, thanks for bringing the pictures too. Friday i spoke with Brooklyn Borough president captain eric adams. I asked him about his experience as an officer and what that told him about mistrust about members of the police and the black community. Our nation is going through a period of Law Enforcement and abusive imoxtion and wabusive i. You cant deny it but every take we wake up in a drunken stupor. We need to acknowledge to implement some real changes because we are already receiving the best training in our country in all of our agencies. California, chicago, new york, were receiving the training. Where we go wrong is that we utilize that good training, and middle class, white communities, and economically achievable communities but whether it comes down to going into communities of color, that training goes out the window. Everyone is treated in a manner which we use lethal or serious force before we try to deescalate a situation. That is the policing we have been trapped in. And now its time to move from that. How has that happened, why has that happened . The scenario you just described, how has that happened and why . Because if you look across the country, probably outside of washington, d. C, if you look across the cub all of these Police Departments the country all these Police Departments look the same, primarily male and white, with the largest amount of fire power is in communities of color that deal with serious social issues. So when you have this toxic mix where individuals are not are told what is the real mission, and it has really been ignored for years, Police Departments across the country have basically said the same thing. We dont look at color when we police. Were all just looking at where the crimes go. There used to be the famous saying of commissioner kelly. Color rules our life. If we dont acknowledge that then we cant police in it. Police departments have not created the isns in society but they have to police in these isims. Sexism, racism. Adams went on to say he didnt think many of his fellow officers were racist but were ingrained.

Parts of two major highways had to be shut down. Fire department put out most of the flames within 90 minutes. These wood flame fires are extremely hot. And talking to the firefighters from fire station 3, when they opened the doors they immediately saw the glow of the fire and if you can imagine the size of that occupancy with twothirds of it on fire it was a significant volume of fire.

A Clemson University fraternity has temporarily stopped, gang theme, robert ray joins us life from atlanta and robert whatever these young people were thinking in holding this kind of party well theres a lot of anger connected to it now.

You can see this photograph from social media, acting like the krips, if our viewers dont know what that is, thats a gang that started in l. A. Years ago. These guys are known for Drug Trafficking robbery and murder so very clearly misguided move by this fraternity. And a lot of folks on campus upset because you know in the past, there have been issues of race relations, at Clemson University, tony. Robert what has been the universitys reaction . Well, the newly president , elected president , president James Clemons said yet to the campus. It is discouraging that so many events and issues are causing division and hurt and making many students feel unwanted at this great university. Last night kripness party which the university did not sanction raised more questions about the climate, clemson is better than this. Its noted that some other students decided to have a party, paint their faces black and that clearly caused major issues on campus. They have major issues Going Forward, the president wants to open those up Going Forward and open 2015 in a better light. Is there a feeling had this is part of a wider problem at the university . Yeah, thats it. I think that, you know, if there wasnt issues in the years previous, for example, the kids painting their faces black and having a party completely uncalled for that maybe this would have slid under the carpet so to speak. But no, this is definitely a problem. A lot of the he African American students came out on campus and spoke to the new president face to face to express their concern that they just felt there were times on their campus that they just didnt feel welcome and that shouldnt be. Its a tight campus on clemson and they should feel more comfortable tony. Robert ray for us, thank you robert. Uber is now banned in new delhi after a woman claimed she was raped.

Org is asking uber to do a seven year background check for all its drivers in india like they do in the u. S. As for uber, the ceo said the company would help bring the driver to justice. Work with the government to establish clear background checks that are absent in indias transportation program. Now some people say banning uber is not the answer. Like for example, this one saying i really dont think banning uber in new delhi is going to solve the problem. Why cant we never take the issue headon . Good point. People are expressing frustration, taking a cab isnt safe, what is safe for women in our country . Records show the driver had spent some time behind bars for a rape three years ago, yet he still had a clean characteristic certificate. Police say that certificate was forged. Thank you ines.

Playoff to determine the National Champion but its not happening without controversy. Measks joinmichael eaves is joi. Are did the final ranking impact who we have playing in the championship round .

Tasked with determining the four most deserving teams to play for National Championship, whether that was four eight or 16, a handful of fans would be disappointed. Alabama number 1 oregon number 2, Florida State number 3 ohio state number 4. Thats the top four. Whoa. Those move on. The real controversy falls when tcu some despite winning its last game by 52 points its an outrage. But its chairman jeff long told al jazeera, its fall had more to do with ohio state beating 590 in last saturdays big 10 game. We saw the body of work, more about ohio states moving up, their performance on the field that made a difference to the committee, to move them up. So it was really about ohio state and not about tcu. Now, there was another issue affecting both tcu and baylor, the big 12 which now only has ten teams, i know it sounds crazy is prohibited from holding a conference championship game. Only a conference with 12 or more teams can hold a championship game. Tcu fell short. We dont deal with hpts so thehypotheticals. The previous rankings only matter a little bit. Its about your full body of work acknowledge yesterday is what mattered not a week before or two weeks before. This is the only thing that matters. Lets get to the actual game. Number one seed alabama takes on 74th seed Florida State. Winners play for National Title on monday january 12. Alabama is the favorite to win it all, but get this the team that has won it all has now won 29 straight games. Florida state is poor betting choice. Next on al jazeera america. The u. S.
