Moments later the sister of the captured jordanian pilot breaks down. Family and friends demand their Government Act faster to secure the release of the pilot whose plane crashed during a bombing mission, as part of a Coalition Fighting i. S. I. L. Leaders in jordan say they have heard nothing from i. S. I. L. As to whether he is safe. The foreign minister saying that the request for proof of life has gone unanswered. This is the woman jordan is willing to hand over if the pilots life is spared. 44yearold woman is on death row for her role in a suicide bombing in a hotel in amman . 2005. 60 died it rocked one of the middle easts most stable countries. Jordanian government speaks men say the fate is also tied to kenji goto jogo a veteran war reporter held by i. S. I. L. A video purports to show kenji goto jogo and the pilot have 24 hours to live unless the prisoner is released. Jordan is not going enough says his father. Translation im telling the japanese government they are putting the blood of our sons. Japans government promised not to give in to terror u. Dozens rallied outside Tokyo Holding up signs reading free kenji. Immediate release, thats what we are calling for. The hostage standoff is causing a concern in washington. The u. S. Continues to stand by its position that it does not make concessions to terrorists. Jordan is an ally and a member of the u. S. Led Coalition Fighting i. S. I. L. In iraq and syria . John terrett. James reported from the Syrian Border on the hostages held within the country and the efforts going in to releasing them. Welcome. Happy to be here. This is a situation is it unique . Is it unique . No the guys are good at this. The only uniqueness about it is a sadistic ingenuity. It seems like now that they said well kill the guys, we wont necessarily release him unless you return the prisoner to us, that they can get the prisoner that no one thought about without promising anything. They havent promised to release kenji goto jogo or the jordanian pult. They are in a position of power, even if they get what they want something no one new that they want. What do they get out of this . What do they get out of beheading people. Alas they prove it works. They succeed in terrifying people they terrify. Any time theres a balance, do we negotiate, or not people negotiate. Except for the United States and others the thought of beheading is so terrifying. At the same time its a trends recruiting tool. Who would be recruited a lot of people it seems. They terrify those they want to terrify, and thrill the ones they want to thrill. How should the United States how should jordan japan respond. I dont know about should. I know what hats happened is that the United Statess position is getting weaker all the time. If you were the only one who says we are going to hold fast. Holding fast doesnt do any good. You must send a message to the terrorist that this will not work. So i think i dont think the United States will abandon that position, but i dont think they are in a position to tell jordan you cant do that. That will not work. With japan, you had two people held hostage, one killed. Yes. There was talk of negotiation there. That didnt work. We dont know why why i. S. I. S. Switched from give us 100 million. Maybe they would never get 100 million, 10 million. They have enough money that they can forego a purpose to change for money to get someone they dont care about. Practices is more proof, a game of humiliation. They captured the attention of the middle east. We can talk about what a Long Term Strategy is with i. S. I. S. Its a problem. In the end, we the United States the west is really going to depend on events in iraq and syria. Certainly in iraq the United States has made inroads, thats because they have people in the grounds. And syria, where all these events we were talking about were taking pleas. Now the United States is probably doing what it can through its bombing campaign. Maybe had obama agreed to train rebels two years ago, people wouldnt be in this situation. Now with a late date they are talking about training rebel forces who are supposed to take on i. S. I. S. Whether they or will the rebels say good, we can take on the enemy we care about. Israel and hezbollah are calling for calm after an escalation of violence between them in almost a decade.

You can return to your routine. I call everyone to return to your routines. Times are tense. In a border volatile it is tonight at its highest alert. Israeli officials are saying they dont want another war. Hezbollah officials are telling the media they do not want this. Both sides seeing this as a retaliatory trike to what u. S.

Where jed bush keeps his money, and what it could mean for the 2016 case. A new alarm about soda. Soda. Tonight along the israeli lebanese border. Tensions higher than in the last nine years. The Israeli Military says two soldiers were killed several others injured in an attack by hezbollah. Israel followed with strikes of its own. Nicole johnson has for. More. Reporter this is moments after a tank was hit. Israel deployed soldiers firing rockets into lebanon. Hezbollah, based in lebanon has claimed responsibility for the attack. Saying that it is in response for an Israeli Attack last week against syria. Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu warned of a swift and painful retaliation. The government is responding to event in the north. Challenging us at the northern border. I advise them to consider what happened in gaza. Hamas took its strongest hit. The i. D. F. Is prepared to act on all fronts. The Israeli Attack against hezbollah was near kenatra, a syrian city in the golan heights. Where a highranking commander and six hezbollah fighters were killed. Among them a son of a senior hezbollah commander killed in damascus in 2008. Iran and hezbollah vowed revenge. The area on the other side of the Mountain Side has been concern somehows. Al jazeera senior digital writer reported from the middle east working from lebanon, west bank and syria. Do both sides in this conflict have reason to contain the tensions right now . Definitely. Hezbollahs attentions are focused on syria. Israel. While it does not need war on the border. I think it is interested in leveraging the attentions. Therell be an election in 20 days. How does this play into that. Mere and suspicion is the way. To threaten israelis with the idea that there might be an existential thread is a way to secure that. There are threats. Lets given to ltcol lerner commenting on the threat. The reality here whether its hezbollah or i. S. I. S. Or al qaeda affiliated. These people on the borders, on the Northern Front is something of great concern. Israelis have some threats. How does todays incident fit into all of that. I think not all threats are create equal. Hezbollah has to answer. If they were to look at the all the choices of threats inside syria, the Syrian Regime is not the biggest enemy. Bashar alassad. They have secured the border there has been no attacks. Hezbollah, in this context with the Syrian Regime. Theres more of a threat from the gi hardist elements jihadist elements. But for now, the regime is keeping them at bay. What about what happened today. Obviously lives were lost. Is this another tit for tat . I mean its in the play book for the reason. Hezbollah and israel have a de facto posture that they resort to this these moments and use it for domestic legitimacy. Binyamin netanyahu is facing an election. Theres nothing like an existential effect to fire his poll says after the fact for before. And hezbollah cannot answer. They are the big tough in the neighbourhood. They are fighting a front inside syria. They are the ones participating in the fight against the gi hardist element jihadist element. At the same time there was a day when hezbollah was popular among syrians before the uprising and it has constituencies in lebanon, deriding from the fact they were willing to be the only forces confronting israel effectively. Maybe its nostalgia. Thank you for your insight, we appreciate it. Raul castro is paying demand for diplomatic negotiations. He spoke at a summit in costa rica. His countries wants to see change. He hadnt spoken publicly since an agreement to renew cuban diplomatic relations were announced. Many predicted the cold war was drawing to an end. After six weeks of silence, raul castro had much to say. Translation initiating diplomatic ties is the first step to normalizing bilateral relations. It is impossible while the blockade exists. Until the legally occupied territory is returned. Until legal radio and Television Transmission cease, and until our people receive just compensation for the human and economic damage suffered. Addressing leaders in america, and caribbean nations, castro used language to make sure his party would not alter the system win iota. Going further, suggesting that the United States changed methods but not the objectives to overthrow the government. Translation everything in the objective is to forment using economic political and communicational methods. Here castro has received the overwhelming support of regional peers. Urging the president to use powers to weaken the economic embargo against cuba by passing congress. Not even the plea to congress has softened president castros position. The leader is playing hard ball ahead of the summit of americas where for the first time in half a century, the United States and cuba sits at the same hemispheric table.

The department of justice, and the city of cleveland have come together to set in motion a process that will remedy issues in a Court Enforceable manner. Hes on his way out.

Do you think things will change with attorney general eric holder on his way out . I dont know about attorney general eric holder. We are doing this in a way that when this is over with this process, that there will be changes that will be measurable. In a city that says its pushing for transparency, some leaders say many residents are left in the dark. Problems are attacked in the community, solutions should come from community.

How some young women are fighting back. Censorship on facebook. Social media blocking doing this in turkey. Controversy at the university of virginia the school at the center of the debunked Rolling Stone rape story, and women in sororities are told to avoid fraternity parties. They are not happy about it. Thomas drayton reports. Reporter its expected to be a big weekend at the university of virginia. The cavaliers takes on a top basketball powerhouse duke. Its boys bid night when fraternities welcome new pledges. Because of that women in u. V. A. Sororities are ordered by chapters not to attend frat parties. Collect lively known as the national panay lettic conference says the weekend presents safety concerns and are looking to keep young women out of harms way. Many are upset, speaking out, calling the ban rash. In an online petition they say the ruling comes in the wake of the violent death of a student on campus and now credited Rolling Stone allegations of a gang rape in the city. The women can be fined or suspended if they attend frat parties this weekend. Some sororities are planning retreats making sure no one violates the rule. More than 2,000 supporters signed the petition asking the sororities to reconsider the ban. Thomas drayton, thank you. Laura dunn is founder and executive of natural justice. Providing Legal Services to victims of Sexual Assault and is a survivor of Sexual Assault. Way what do you think of this . I think its absurd. Shocking that the National Leaders are showing ignorance about what causes sexuality violence its not women that choose to go out, its a small group of men, most often, and, yes, theres a higher risk at the fraternity parties. To say to women, stay inside. Its an antick waited message. Where do you think it comes from . I think it comes from a lack of understanding for what really causes Sexual Violence and a lack of understanding about how to prevent it. Limiting the lives of women is not the answer to solving Sexual Violence, its training. Knowing how to drink responsibly, to be in settings with others watch for warning signs and speak up. Unfortunately the burden has women addressing violence and the reality is men are in a more powerful position and when they speak up a lot changes, its missing the mark. There has been these myths and misconceptions about the whole idea that women who dress provocatively encourage Sexual Assault. Blaming it on the victim is this move as serious as those mistakes . I think its right up there. It really is telling women have different lives, stay inside dont draw attention, dont have normal interactions for all the times you may be assaulted. We know that is not true. Sexual violence is an issue on campuses committed by a small percentage of men. Its interesting that wall street journal had an article saying maybe its sorority hosted parties instead of fraternities having the women controlling the settings. I wish the leadership thought progressively rather than go back to the 1900s. Other than that what other advice would you give them . For the leadership to have meaningful prevention. Awareness of what Sexual Violence is the realities of it. It is repeat perp tryings and happens in malecontrolled fields. Its an evated elevated risk. If someone is harmed it is to speak up take action do the right thing. What dont we understand about what is happening at the u. V. A. Or other schools. What is happening is people are struggling or answers. Theres an elevated risk of violence. John hopkins had a gang rape that was never reported to the community. The next year te did on overkill saying lets not shut down the fraternity, lets get rid of all. We realise that Sexual Assault is an issue, but we decided to over correct and say lets stop everything. That is not the answer. Dont destroy the social lives and things that people value, have an open dialogue and conversation about what Sexual Violence is and meaningful prevention, which is not messages to women, but towards men and the communities a whole to intervene and stop this occurring. Thank you for sharing four thoughts. We appreciate it. Not at all. Thanks for having me on facebook is making content unavailable in turkey agreeing to sensor material insulting towards islam and prophet muhammad. Roxana saberi has more. Reporter a day after the attack on Charlie Hebdo satirical newspaper in paris, facebooks c. E. O. Mark zuckerberg posted this message now, two weeks later, facebook has agreed to sensor one page in turkey in response to a turkish coward order of the turkish media say the content was seen as insulting to the prophet muhammad. Similar images that motivated Charlie Hebdo to attack. In the past other Media Outlets have been censored. That left zuckerberg with a choice comply with the order or lose millions of users. Its disingenuous that he has done this. But he has to think about how hes expanding abroad. Turkey is a connected country in the middle east. He wants a future there. Reporter turkeys censorship is the latest move in a crackdown on freedom of expression. Turkey launched an investigation into a newspaper after it published Charlie Hebdos cartoons. The editor said he was careful not to offend peoples believes. By choosing the cartoons, we made sure we respect our societys religious freedom as much as possible. Turkey blocked twitter and youtube during a political scandal. People should be free to express opinions. In a peaceful way, not causing violence. Turkey is facebooks changing country.

The wheels of justice grinds slowly for nine black men in South Carolina it took 54 years. Tuesday their records were wiped clean, cleared of breaking the law in 1961 by sitting at a Department Store lunch counter designated whites only. They did it for the purpose of laying themselves before the conscience of the community, and putting their freedom the a stake to make the point that the segregated lunch counters in rock hill and across the south were wrong. Willie edward mcleod. Offense, trespassing. Disposition guilty 100 or 30 days. Reporter one by one the names of the men were read.

She said i was there that night. She said i was there. I want to do something, but i couldnt. Grams emotional encounter is a reminder that while many did not want to do anything others didnt know what to do. Fortunately thousands of others like the group did know, and that has made all the difference. Thank you very much. Thats the broadcast. Thank you for watching. Im john seigenthaler.
