Hillary clinton is back on the campaign trail this Morning Hours after a marathon capitol hill hearing that lasted late into the evening and she was there to answer questions about the 2012 benghazi attack which left four americans dead, by most accounts the hearing produced little new information and welcome to your world this morning im stephanie sy. And im delve walters and clinton answering about the diplomatic out post and at times those asking questions turned on each other for the very reasons of the hearing itself. Make sure the entire record is correct. That is exactly what i want to do. Go ahead. Im about to tell you i move that we put into the record the entire transcript of Sidney Blumenthal, we will release the emails, lets do the transcript. That way the world can see it. A motion. The motion is i second it. We are not going to take that up at a hearing. Reporter al jazeeras libby casey was on capitol hill as the former secretary of state answered those questions for hours. Reporter Hillary Clinton appeared just before 10 00 a. M. With the date with the republican Led Committee and in testimony lasting all day and into the night defended her actions before and after the benghazi attacks and clinton recounted the night when American Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others lost their lives in benghazi. Thought things would be safe once they took refuge in the ciaa in, income nnex. Reporter after three members of the party claimed the probe was merely an attempt to damage clintons president ial campaign republicans began by making the attack in benghazi not clinton herself the focus but it didnt last. Wouldnt you fire someone, what action would you have done differently and what do you own as a result of this . They accuse her leaving the compound vulnerable for attack when asked for security beefed up after several attacks. No one came to me and said we should shut down our compound in benghazi. Im not saying shut it down, im saying protect it. Reporter another key moment questions about an email clinton wrote to a Family Member on the night of attack and the note began two of our officers we killed by an alqaeda like group and pounced on alqaeda and after the attack top officials blamed an antimuslim video as a cause of a protest that escalated into violence and as they have for three years since they acute clinton of putting out a false narrative on the eve of 2012 elections. You can live with a protest of the video, they want hurt you but a terrorist attack will and you cannot be square with the american people. Tell your family its a terrorist attack and not the american people. I wrote a whole chapter about this in my book hard choices. I would be glad to send it to you congressman because i think the insinuations you are making do a grave disservice. Reporter another point of contention Sidney Blumenthal a friend who sent Clinton Emails offering opinions and advice on the situation in libya. Blumenthal could not get hired by our government, didnt pass any background check at all, had no role with our government, had never been to libya and no expertise in libya and madam secretary he had unfettered access to you. I dont know what this line of questioning does to help us get to the bottom of the deaths of four americans. Ill be happy to help you understand that madam secretary. Reporter democrats led by maryland cummings battled back defending clinton and cast the hearings as a partisan exercises. Do we want to badger you over and over until youll get tired and get the gotcha moment he is talking about . We are better than that. We are so much better. We are better country. And we are better than using taxpayer dollars to try to destroy a campaign, thats not what america is all about. It is deeply unfortunate that something as serious as what happened in benghazi could ever be used for partisan political purposes. Reporter throughout the day and into the evening clinton tried to bring the focus back to the americans who died in benghazi and hit back at republicans. I would imagine i thought more about what happened than all of you put together. Ive lost more sleep than all of you put together. I have been racking my brain about what more could have been done or should have been done. Reporter a Key Committee member democrat adam ship of california said earlier this week that democrats could walk away from the committee after the former secretary of state testified, democrats are concerned that the committee is so focused on politics that it has moved far away from the question of what actually happened in benghazi. Now at the same time democrats say they have their own role in the Committee Hearing and in this process by providing a Counter Point to republicans so everyone is thinking about politics. That is Al Jazeera Libby Casey reporting for us from capitol hill, straight ahead we will be talking to a former clinton aid about the lengthy benghazi hearing and what it all means for her president ial campaign. Following a developing story out of tennessee and one person was fatally shot and three women injured overnight on the campus of Tennessee State university in nashville, local police say the shooting was part of an apparent dispute over a dice game. The campus is still under lock down this morning as Police Search for the shooter. And the university has cancelled classes for the day. The Obama Administration is defending a decision that led to the death of american soldier in iraq. The first u. S. Service member to die in the fight against i. S. I. L. And we have exclusive details of what the pentagon described as a rescue mission in an i. S. I. S. Prison in northern iraq. Reporter request for transport helicopters and support from Kurdish Peshmerga forces, one of americas most effective and reliable partners in the war against i. S. I. L. The kurds believe some of their fighters were being held by i. S. I. L. In a walled prison compound west of kirkook and were about to be executed. They appealed to the u. S. For help to launch a desperate and Daring Rescue mission. Defense secretary ash carter signed off on the plan under the assist authority of the u. S. Train and assist mission. After being convinced i. S. I. L. Was on the verge of mass murder. We had discovered the presence of mass graves at this compound, freshly dug mass graves at the compound and we since learned the hostages had been told by other captiors they would be executed and placed in the graves after morning prayers today. Reporter a u. S. Military spokesman in baghdad in an exclusive skype interview with al jazeera provided a detailed tick stock on how the raid went down, four u. S. Helicopters, to shonook and two blackhawks land near the i. S. I. L. Compound with peshmerga commander and u. S. Forces and u. S. Troops stayed back with the helicopters as the others attack the prison compound and pinned down by fierce fire and taking casualties u. S. Special forces come to the aid of the kurdish troops, a u. S. Soldier is killed, four peshmerga are wounded. The discovery of far more prisoners than expected up to 70 requires a fifth ch 47 shnook helicopter to get everyone out safely and the colonel warren says if the u. S. Forces commander had not intervened the mission would likely have failed. In the heat of battle while their partners were being wounded and pinned down and being wounded, these commanders on the ground made a decision and decided to come to the aid of those who they were advising and assisting. They were positioned properly where they could maneuver and eliminate the gunfire that had to pin down and because of that the peshmerga were able to get through the breach then finish clearing the objective. Reporter it turned out no kurds were among the roughly 70 prisoners who were free but 22 members of Iraqi Security forces among the captives and five i. S. I. L. Fighters were captured and more than 20 i. S. I. L. Were reportedly killed, al jazeera the pentagon. Last night congressman paul ryan making it official he is running for speaker of the house and Wisconsin Republicans submitting a formal letter thursday writing i never thought i would be a speaker but if im a unifying significant i would serve and go all in and ryan giving republicans until today to unite behind him and received support from the far right wing caucus and did not get the groups full endorsement.

This morning mexico bracing for the strongest hurricane on record in the western hem steer and patricia exploded into a category five storm and the winds are nearly 200 Miles Per Hour and part of mexico is now under state of emergency people along the Pacific Coast prepare for the worst. Better to prevents than regret because i have windows i put in wood panels, the truth is i dont know how the hurricane will hit. Reporter the bustling of port city near portavilarta is in the direct path of patricia and many villages evacuated and schools and ports are closed. We have direct insight into these type of storms and have flown into category five and talking about a monster storm moving up the mexico coast. Its intense and especially this one i would say being a rapidly intensifying storm you tend to get more dynamics, more up lift with more turbulence in a storm and lightning and hail you would not see and Hurricane Center allotted my colleagues for the Hurricane Hunters for flying intoit and recording the data because this is a record setting storm and pressure 880 millie bars which is lower than wilma which sets the record for the atlantic and you can see a very defined eye wall so all signs of what an intense storm this is but actual measurements showing that this has winds 200 Miles Per Hour and sustained and wind gusts higher. Widespread area under hurricane warnings, that is the red and the blue is the Tropical Storm warnings. The wind field extends 4050 miles out across the storm in terms of Hurricane Force winds and its going to be that right front side that will get the most damage because you get the combination as this moves in land of both the momentum of the storm and the momentum of the circulation on that side and all right reporting high surf but it will come in this afternoon or evening and do a lot of damage and it hits the mountains and not just the wind we are concerned about but heavy rain, widespread could be a foot but in the mountains it rings out more. A chance of being a category five storm can reform over the gulf and threaten the main land u. S. Over the the mountains and shred it apart and what we have going on in the Central United states and ill talk more about that coming up. Nicole thank you very much. A town hall meeting is scheduled today to discuss the death of a florida man shot by police. The family of korey jones says he never fired his gun during a roadside encounter with an under cover police officer, the officer fired his weapon six times and we are at the Palm Beach Garden Police department and there was a rally on thursday, what is the latest . That rally was peaceful one and held right here next to the Police Station and on thursday we heard for the first time from the immediate Family Members of corey jones since his death and they tell us they have more questions than answers. They are leaning on a community here to support them during this difficult time. [chanting] we want answers. Reporter no chants coming from hundredss who gathered thursday for korey jones. How great the 31yearold drummer was fatally shot by a plain clothes officer early sunday morning after his car broke down on the side of the road and know core rejones family says new details of the confrontation of jones and the officer raised even more troubling questions about the deadly encounter. I need to nknow why, why my son is gone today. Why . Reporter the family met privately on thursday with the state Attorneys Office and said his body was found 80100 feet from his car and he did not use his handgun. Korey jones never fired his weapon, never fired his weapon, that is confirmed. Reporter police are offering Little Information about what happened when officer stopped to investigate what looked like abandon car and Palm Beach Garden Police say he was confronted by an armed subject, lawyers for the family said he shot at jones six times and three of the bullets hit him and say the state attorney said he did not properly identify himself and that jones may not have realized that he was dealing with a police officer. Why didnt he identify himself, why didnt he show the badge . Reporter jones death being investigated by the Palm Beach County Sheriff Office as well as state Attorneys Office and his brother insists the shooting goes beyond race. All lives do matter. [applause] Going Forward what do you want to see happen . We want justice. We want transparency. I miss him. I miss him so much. I miss him so much. Alive. Reporter and the community is looking for more answers. That i hope they hope to get some at the town hall meeting town and the lawyer will be there and the family says everything they have been told so far from the state Attorneys Office comes from the statements that the officer made to investigators after the shooting and they say what is so frustrating about this is they have so many questions but without a dash cam and without a body camera at the scene the only version of events they have is from the officer, stef. Ands from the investigation its not clear when the family might get more . Well, it could take weeks, up to a month for the sheriffs ufs ooffice to conclude their investigation and still waiting for toxicology report and they also have to corroborate the forensic evidence from the state of the officer and as far as the state office is concerned they could file charges in the feature and have to decide that. And that is the latest in Palm Beach Gardens, florida and thank you. Palm beach on the minds of a lot of people and president obama defending the black lives Matter Movement, you may recall it arose out of Police Shootings of African American men and teens. The reason that the organizers used the phrase black lives matters was not because they were suggesting nobodys lives matter rather what they are suggesting is there is a specific problem that is happening in the African American community that is not happening in other communities. The African American communities are not made it up and not being politicized, its real. Meeting with Law Enforcement and said it cannot just be on Police Officers and say they risk their lives to keep cities safe and the criminal Justice System needs to be overhauled itself and arson investigators looking for a church fire in and around st. Louis at the directory of a Catholic Church and it followed the same pattern as the six prior ones but they say the latest fire happening at a mostly white church, the other churches that were targeted had largely black congregations, this fire was also in a different neighborhood. Diplomatic moves trying to end the war in syria. John kerry meets the counterpart in vienna and could they be forced to look at moscow after all. A bus and a truck colliding leaving more than 40 people dead. The only way to get better is to challenge yourself, and thats what were doing at xfinity. We are challenging ourselves to improve every aspect of your experience. And this includes our commitment to being on time. Every time. Thats why if were ever late for an appointment, well credit your account 20. Its our promise to you. Were doing everything we can to give you the best experience possible. Because we should fit into your life. Not the other way around. On behalf of the men and women of the department of defense we offer our Sincere Condolence to the family of the u. S. Service member who was killed in this operation. The u. S. And our coalition will continue to work with iraqky partners to degrade and defeat i. S. I. L. And return iraq to the full control of its people. Learning new details this morning about the first u. S. Soldier to die in the fight against i. S. I. L. , happened during what the pentagon is describing as a Hostage Rescue Mission in northern iraq. The operation freed at least 70 prisoners held by i. S. I. L. And i want to go to a former member of the Navy Special Operations unit and taught for years at the Navy Survival school and good morning and welcome for your time and based on what a pentagon spokesperson told Al Jazeera America they saw the peshmerga fighters get in trouble and were firing and left the position in the back by the helicopter and went in to help them, what are your initial thoughts on those details and on this cam arc ndo raid . This is an exceptionally bold raid to fall down into southwest of kirkook and north of baghdad but when we were in iraq it was a place that alqaeda and groups that became i. S. I. S. Would go for vacations so it was a hot, widely held zone by i. S. I. S. And fly in with the peshmerga and land right on to their compound and go out and rescue these hostages is a very bold mission. This these circumstances with staying back by the helicopters for the u. S. Special forces on the ground was that a choice or did they have to go in . Well, for the first part it depends on the tackle call situation and if they had to clear the area of detraction and support to the peshmerga and see peshmerga getting bogged down they felt it was them to go in and break the deadlock and clearly did this as there were four peshmerga wounded and unfortunately an american soldier wounded and succumbed to his wounds. And the pentagon this morning in a statement said there are no american boots on the ground, are we talking about semantics or are these raids happening all the time and we are hearing about it this because a u. S. Soldier died . They are happening all the time and in support of other operations and we carry out missions that are penetrateing from iraq to syria and using the term boots on the ground its a matter of semantics but talking at a foot print the way we had it in iraq for almost eight years which is almost 125,000 men living, breathing everyday in iraq and in this case these are small pinpoint operations which are very precise, which have very specific mission perimeters and they dont lay on the ground for the most part. Again we were helping the peshmerga allies in this operation. And i want to ask you one more because you also have an intelligence background, those that were freed in this operation have been described by the pentagon as hostages but they were not peshmerga fighters the team thought they were rescuing, is that an intelligence failure in your view . Well, only in the sense that the very specific bodies that you may have been looking for were not there. As an intelligence professional i can tell you there is a fog of everything that goes on in the world. You may have images and you may have drone video and agents who have penetrated in there, you may have members of i. S. I. S. And in this instance we probably did members of i. S. I. S. Who got away from the compound and were talking that we have 20, 30 kurds in there with a bunch of Iraqi Security forces and we are going to kill them. Well the Kurdish Regional government requested United States support for that mission to get out their people but the end we youielded a far number greater captives and i. S. I. L. Who was captives and will give us intelligence. We will have to leave it there but thank you for your expertise on this issue. Breaking story we are following overnight and 42 people have died in southwest france after a tour bus and truck collided and taking place by a village 30 miles east of bordeau and most passengers elderly and tourist on a day trip and bus and car caught fire and this is frances worst Road Accident in more than 30 years, john kerry is in vienna this morning talking about the war in syria and meeting with russian counterparts and Sergei Fedorov and talking about military options there and days ago Vladimir Putin meeting with Bashar Alassad and they think it is giving them the upper hand in the war and can you tell us more about this mornings meeting meetings . Reporter well, we had four Foreign Ministers here, john kerry, Sergei Fedorov and their counterparts from turkey and saudi arabia. Of course you have three of those, turkey, saudi arabia and the americans are vow deponents of president assad of syria and all of them suspicious of motives and intervention on the ground in syria, proportly they say its fighting terrorism and i. S. I. L. But the interpretation of the americans is that the majority of russian air strikes have been against other opponents of president assad. Nonetheless the reality is that russias actions in syria have been bold and decisive whether the americans have been over the years now and russia believes it has put itself in a position where it is the key piece broker in syria. So i would imagine in the talks this morning there would have been a lot of interrogation of russia, what exactly are its motives, what under takings has president assad given to putin and remember the two men met in that extraordinary meeting in moscow a couple days ago. Live in veenna and thank you very much. A show down over federal funding. President making good on a veto of a bill and his reasons for saying he did so.

Warnings are up along mexicos Pacific Coast at residents prepare for Hurricane Patricia, a category five storm, the strongest ever recorded in the western hemisphere. Winds are nearly 200 miles an hour. The track has it hitting the port city south of Puerta Vallarta. A u. S. Soldier was left dead in iraq after a rescue of prisoners held by isil. Seventy prisoners were rescued. Hillary clinton answered questions about the 2012 benghazi attack that left four americans dead. The questions at times turned angry. Do you have a skiff in your home. Yes, i did. Who was was at your home . Were you alone . I was alone, yes. The whole night. Well yes, the whole night. [ laughter ] i dont know why thats funny. Did you have any inperson briefings . I dont find it funny at all. Im sorry, a little note of levity at 7 15. The hearings produced little new information about the attacks. A former Senior Advisor for Hillary Clinton, joins us. The number that keeps being repeated over and over again, 11, 11 hours of testimony and little in the way of any new information. The ranking members said it was nothing more than a witchhunt. Was he right . Correct. One wonders why we spend almost 5 million on this most recent round have vehicles, more than it took to investigate katrina. I dont understand what new could have been gleaned, but she handled it masterfully, in my mind. Did the republicans do themselves a disservice . We are talking about the Democratic Front runner on stage for 11 hours in hearings that were probably watched by millions of americans, most of them political minds, it being said there is no such thing at bat publicity. Can it backfire. It i think it already has. The republicans looked out for blood, tried to impugn her character and her record at the state department. Whatever you may disagree with Hillary Clinton on, i dont think that the American Public saw anything new here, except they saw republicans repeatedly go after her and she kept her cool. One thing the public does say about Hillary Clinton is they dont believe that she is trustworthy. Did she do anything yesterday to change that perception . She answered her questions clearly and concisely and again she answered questions in the same way she has over the last couple of years since this incident took place, and in terms of what actually happened and the stream of information that came out from that attack, as it was taking place, i think you saw and heard is that she was getting information over time and what the chairman failed to recognize is that even if the information may not have been correct initially, she was continually briefing people over time. When leading in a time of uproar and sun certainty about what was happening, she seemed to be on top of it the entire time. Hillary clinton got emotional three times, each time when she was talking about the death of ambassador stevens and the others. Does that hurt or help a candidate, especially when youre running for president of the United States. One thing that was clear is that she took responsibility. I think that was very important. If youring looking for someone to lead, she has said i lead, i have been a leader of the state department. I take responsibility. She said she doesnt really use emails. She has phone conversations and meetings with her top senior staff members. Again, in that reward, she was taking responsibility. Several democrats now saying they are going to walk from the committee, alan shif, comings may do the same. I want to see them there to hold the line and push back against the republicans on the committee, you heard Elijah Cummins calling for more transparency. I want to see that exchange to make sure there is balance, but if they feel there is nothing that can be done, i understand. Thank you. President obama vetoed a major defense bill, saying its full of flaws. The 612 billion measure would boost defense spending without increasing domestic spending. It could prevent the Obama Administration from closing Guantanamo Bay. Mike viqueira has more from washington. Good morning, on thursday, president obama wanted to make a point, inviting the president into the oval office not to watch him sign a bill into law, but to veto one. The 612 billion defense measure is a fight over domestic spending. President obama wants to undo the socalled sequester, the result of a 2011 budget agreement with republicans that cuts spending on both the military side and domestic side. The trouble with this defense bill as far as the president is concerned, it boosts defense spending, but does nothing to boost spending on the domestic side. Those cuts remain in place. Also, the president upset about a measure involving Guantanamo Bay, the republicans would block him from closing it, something hes been trying to do since his first day in office. Guantanamo is one of the premier mechanisms for jihadists to recruit. Its time for us to close it. It is outdated, expensive, its been there for years and we can do better in terms of keeping our people safe while making sure that we are consistent with hour values. The administration is looking at alternate sites within the United States where they can move Guantanamo Bay prison. While Civil Liberties groups like the aclu applaud the the president s veto, they also want to see an end to indefinite detention. Back to you. Thank you, Mike Viqueira reporting. This is only the fifth veto of president obamas time in office. There was more violence today in israel. The military saying a palestinian man stabbed a soldier in the occupied west bank. The man was shot by troops but was not killed, the soldier is said to be ok. Secretary of state john kerry going to that region tomorrow, trying to deescalate the violence there, situations. A bombing at a mosque in nigeria leaving 18 people dead, this one happening in a northeastern city. It is clear there who was behind it. There appears to be just one suicide bomber. We are getting pictures from south africa. Thousands of students, look at this crowd. They have been protesting plans to raise fees at their schools. In the past hour, these protests have turned violent. The students have been clashing with police, who you see in the foreground here. They have been trying to full down fences surrounding South African president jacob zumas offices. Well continue to follow that story. Volkswagen is warning it may have to recall more cars connected with faulty emissions tests. The german automakers said cheat software may have been installed in more models. The company says they believe the number with the software is relatively small, some 11 million cars are already believed to have the cheat software. The federal government may recall more vehicles with defective airbags, so far eight deaths and dozens of injuries have been linked to exploding airbags. Lisa stark has more on what is already the largest out totitive recall in u. S. History. Weve seen the horrific effects from defect i have takata airbags when the air bag explodes with too much force, shards of metal fly out. People have been badly cut, lost their eyesight and even their lives. Now for the first time, a dramatic look at an inflator coming apart. The government test video has been slowed down, and you cannot hear the extremely loud bang, but you can see why this is so deadly. Our goal is a safe air bag in every american vehicle as quickly as possible. Thats a huge task. Nearly 24 million driver and passenger airbags have been recalled in some 19 million cars. The bulk of those vehicles come from five manufacturers, bmw, Fiat Chrysler, ford, mazda and honda. Nationwide, fewer of a quarter of the recalled airbags have now been replaced. In states with hot, humid climates, conditions that help trigger the failures, fewer than a third of the air bags have been changed out. At a Public Meeting on the massive recall, nitsa will decide whether to force automakers to recall airbags more quickly and may have to broaden the recall to include side airbags. We want consumers to know we are considering all the options to speed things up. Of greatest concern, airbags at least five years old that have spent the most time in those hot, high humidity states. Elliot drives a ford mustang with a recalled air bag. He drove up from georgia for the meeting. Why did you come all the way to bar washington, d. C. . I am annoyed and tired of being jerked around. He said he received his recall notice in july and headed to his local ford dealer. I asked what am i supposed to do . You wont give me a loaner car, you cant tell me when im going to get a replacement for it. The Service Advisor told me im safe because my air bag light is not on. That is not true. The air bag warning light has nothing to do with this defect. This misinformation underscoring the confusion consumers are facing. He has parked his mustang for now, said he is lucky enough to be able to afford another car. Thats his ride back to georgia and for the foreseeable future. Members of the u. A. W. , the United Auto Workers union ratifying a new contract with Fiat Chrysler for the new deal, which is the companys second offer, passed with 77 of the vote. It includes the first raises for veteran workers in 10 years. It is going to help close the pay gap between those with evenerty and two tier workers, employees hired by the company. That could serve as a model for negotiations with the other big three. We are talking about heavy rain moving through the Southern Plains causing flooding concerns. Lets bring in meteorologist Nicole Mitchell again. Good morning. Good morning. Weve been talking about this for a couple of days. Weve also this morning been talks Hurricane Patricia. This is the water vapor being measured, the brighter green. You can see part of that cloud field from patricia is making its way toward the United States. Were not going to get the brunt of the storm, but a little extra moisture with what we already have is not beneficial. Widespread areas under watches, but occasionally a warning when you get more heavy rain coming through. Heres the system. You can kind of still see that spin into the atmosphere, now with a trailing front, but there will still be low pressure around that. This already had moisture even before we haded a little in from the the hurricane and more is coming from the gulf. Thats the main source of moisture from this storm. More of this has lifted up into minnesota, getting that rain, it will move into the great lakes later into today. Were closer to all the moisture sources, texas, louisiana, chances for heavy rain as this moves along. Over the next couple of days, making its way to the east coast, as well. You can see the core of moisture staying caughtward. We had a front go through yesterday to the very northeast. That touchdown temperatures 10 or 20 degrees. More questions today for the Environmental Protection agency over a toxic spill that turned rivers yellow for a time in three states. The interior democratic said the e. P. A. Led to the spill in august. The e. P. A. Knew the mine was at risk of a blowout and that it was preventable. Estimates put the cost of containing the mess in the billions of dollars. The state of oregon going after g. N. C. , supplier of diet supplements, saying it knew it sold the suppplements spiked with two controversial drugs. State attorney general accuses g. N. C.

Neither of those is approved for sale in the United States. These are synthetic drugs, not Natural Ingredients being sold unlabeled and unidentified to thousands of customers, according to the lawsuit, which also says g. N. C.

When that lawsuit was announced, the Company Released a two sentence statement, reading in part the company also says in response to notification from the f. D. A. And the state of oregon they have pulled all products that contain those two ingredients. This is not the first time that n. G. C. Has run into legal problems involving products it sells. Earlier this year, the state attorney general of new york sent out cease and desist orders to g. N. C. , walmart, walgreens and target for selling herbal suppplements that lab nationals showed did not contain what was depicted on the label. The oregon lawsuit alleges 4,000 separate violations of the states fair trade practices act, a maximum penalty for each 25,000. Multiplication, it adds up to 100 million. Al jazeera, seattle. Its going to cost prisoners less to make a telephone call starting next year, capping the rates for inmate calls. The calls that used to cost about 14 are now going to cost less than two. The f. C. C. Saying reducing the cost of these calls measurably increases the amount of contact between inmates and their loved ones, making an important contribution to the criminal Justice Reform that is sweeping the nation. 22 people are under arrest this morning after police uncovered a secret tunnel connecting mexico and the u. S. Its believed to be one of the longest r. Found. It is about 2400 feet long and 30 feet deep, well lit, ventilated and equipped with a rail system. U. S. And mexican authorities confiscated 12 tons of marijuana when they raided the tunnel on both sides of the border. We want to look at the huge protests taking place at this hour in south africa. Thousands of students are demonstrating against higher fees at their schools. Police as you can see, it is a very, very chaotic situation. They have been firing stun grenades into the crowd. The crowds are there surrounding the offices of the South African president douma. Students say they cant afford to pay the increased University Fees, those fees going up 12 . These are described as the largest student protests in south africa since the end of apartheid in the 1980s, so this has been going on for weeks. Students are now being arrested and you can see clashes as these protests turn violent. The students are becoming more and more agitated, which is something we did not see in the first shot. Honoring the Monuments Men. The people who safeguarded europes Cultural Heritage on the brink of being destroyed. They are now getting a treasure of their own. It is called alphabet.

A Football Game in Washington State wont be about what wins or losing, but what the coach does after the game ends. He has been told not to lead any prayers anymore. John henry smith has the story. For nine years running, Bremerton High School football coach joe kennedy has been leading his players in post game prayers. When he continued that tradition last friday night, he was violating an order from the district that said talks with students may not include religious expression, including prayer. I dont want to break the law and i dont want to set a bad example for our kids and i never want to jeopardize the program that weve set up, and the taxpayers end up paying for it if something goes hoarably wrong and they get sued. Thats not what coaching staffs are supposed to be doing. Players and parents support him. He could lose his job for what he practices at the end of the game. The School District has said it has no plans to fire kennedy, writing in a statement, at this time, mr. Kennedys Employment Status with the School District remains unchanged. The district continues to hope that the district and mr. Kennedy can arrive at common understandings. The conservative Liberty Institute, a Legal Defense fund, is backing the coach. In a letter to the School District, it says kennedy hat constitutional right to lead post game prayers. Private citizens on their own time have a right to practice their faith and we think its very important at Liberty Institute to protect that constitutional right. Im not establishing region, not preaching with anything. Many haved the problem with the prayers sessions is players may feel forced to participate. The coach said hes never required any of his athletes in prayer. They do so because they want to. The School District is not banning prayers at all events, is that right . You are correct. They have no problem with anyone operating an their own time, but this is a publicly funded high school and the district says its improper to otherwise and lead such prayer sessions.

A group known as the Monuments Men risked their lives to recover more than 5 million stolen artifacts across europe. It was made into a movie. They are now receiving americas highest honor. A great part of the art treasure stolen by the nazis. Beware a likely bunch, scholars, not soldiers. It was their job to find and save some of the worlds greatest works of art during and after world war ii. Adolf hitler was keen to take as many treasures as possible. When he was defeated, it was up to the Monuments Men to track them down. One was jewish, born in germany who left for the u. S. A. In 1938. Drafted to the army, he helped return what had been looted. We did not take it. I did not see to it that it was sent to i saw to in my case, we had quite a number of paintings that belonged to the museum. They have been awarded americas highest civilian honor. It shows our children what they can be, no task is more treasures than that, no award is great are than this. So for the Monuments Men, the United States has struck a congressional gold medal. This involved men and women from 40 nations around the world. They often went into where the bullets were flying and in the end recovered almost 5 million pieces of art and literature. Among the treasures, rembrandts portrait and works by davinci. The work was hugely significant. Works of art define who we are as a people. Ive heard over and over again from people around the world, americans dont tend to think about this quite as much, but around the world, their works of art and treasures belong to them. One survivor said his heart breaks when he sees the continuing destruction of important artifacts. I just wish they could do it where isis is, where theyre destroying these monuments. Its pitiful whats going on. Al jazeera, washington. It does have special significance, given what isils been doing in palmyra. Hurricane patricia bears down with 200mile per hour winds. The category five hurricane is the strongest on record in the western hemisphere. A marathon hearing on the 2012 attacks in benghazi, but did the committee learn anything . Stay with us. Welcome to Al Jazeera America. More reporters, more stories, more perspective. From our awardwinning news teams across america and beyond. Weve got global news covered. Governments secretly paying ransoms. We were told never to disclose that they actually paid. Are they saving lives or putting more at risk . Hurricane patricia exploding into the western hemispheres strongest hurricane of, mexico bracing for a powerful cat five storm. It could be catastrophic. Secretary of state john kerry meets with his russian counterpart, the latest effort to find a resolution to the syrian conflict. I have been racking my brain about what more could have been done. Hillary clinton questioned late into the night about the benghazi attacks, but the interrogation reveals few new details about any possible security failures. Its official. He is running for house speaker. Paul ryans request for more family time renews the debate, is there a double standard. Welcome to your world this morning. Mexico in the crosshairs of a monster hurricane this morning, Hurricane Patricia is a category five storm, the strongest on record in the western hemisphere. The storm exploded in strength overnight. Part of mexico is now under a state of emergency as people along the Pacific Coast prepare for the worst. Al jazeeras gerald tan has more. Taking no chance, mexicans living along the Pacific Coast prepare their homes and businesses for what forecasters warn could be a catastrophic storm. Its better to prevent than regret, because i have windows, i put in wood panels. The truth is i dont know how the hurricane will hit. Hurricane patricia is sweeping across the pacific with winds topping 260 kilometers an hour. Its quickly grown into the highest category five storm, expected to make landfall friday afternoon. Given the situation and the reports presented by the National Emergency commission, the secretary of the interior instructed the emergency declare reaction in three states of the country and 10 municipalities. The port city is in the direct path of pass rush sha, but not everyone is worried. As a preventative measures, we decided to buy basic goods. In case roads are closed, well have the essentials at home. We didnt buy that much, because they regularly say a hurricane will come. Normally they dont hurt. Thats why the majority dont participate that much. Many areas are evacuated and ports and schools closed. Government leaders are bracing for what is threatening to become the most intense hurricane to hit mexicos Pacific Coast. Al jazeera. Nicole mitchell says this is what we should be looking at, it is that compact eye of the storm now more than 200 miles an hour. Cities getting slammed a year ago facing the storm. Latest advisory came out and still with those sustained winds at 200 Miles Per Hour, that means gusts are even higher, and a lot of times, these storms turn out to sea. Its a little bit more unique that they turn inland. That is why some people dont prepare. When you look at the symmetry of the storm and definition of the eye wall, those are signs of intensification. Weve had aircraft inside measuring data and all that goes into different forecasts and models. Look how concise to where this storm will hit. Port view quarter at a are in the direct path. The Hurricane Force winds extend about 40 to 50 miles across the storm. The Tropical Storm force winds even more than that. That wells up the water. Theres already high surf reported, but then on top of that, you look at what we call the right front side of the storm, the combination of the rotation, and the momentum of the storm itself, so the right side of the storm tends to get the brunt of this, and thats where were going to look for some of the highest sea rise, for example, but on top of this, were expecting a lot of moisture. This is going to bring in places that could easily see a foot of rain just in general, but as this goes into mountains, that tends to wring it out even more and what we are expecting with that is serious flooding and the potential for mudslides and landslides that could be devastating. What are the odds that it makes landfall as a cat five . They are fairly decent, if not a cat four. At a certain point, youve already generated the energy to turn up the ocean, even if it loses intensity, so you are still talking the same major impacts. Nicole mitchell, thank you. Secretary of state john kerry is in vienna where hes talking about the war in syria. Kerry is meeting with his russian counter part. The two are likely to discuss russias military operations in syria. Days ago, president Vladimir Putin met with syrian president Bashar Al Assad and there is acknowledgment that the Russian Campaign is giving Bashar Al Assad the upper hand in the war. There were a series of meetings behind me. John kerry representing the United States with his turkish and Saudi Arabian counterparts all suspicious of russias motive. Verge laugh, the russian Prime Minister flee here to explain what exactly russia is doing in syria and what its end objectives are, what undertakings might have been given by president assad of syria to president putin of russia when they met in moscow a couple of days ago. Is it possible for these four countries, all of which are militarily engaged in syria in different ways to reach some sort of common purpose, can they reach an agreement for example on a transition that would see president assad step down. If so, how quickly, and do they trust each other enough to make such a plan stick. All of those, a lot of doubt whether they can be realized or not, but at least at the moment, four key players involved in the syrian disaster are actually talking to each other, and that in itself is good news. Barnaby phillips for us in vienna. Russias involvement in syria is its First Military campaign outside the soviet union since its occupation of afghanistan in 1979. Hillary clinton is back to being a president ial candidate today after recalling her time at secretary of state. She was questioned all day thursday and well into thursday flight about the 2012 benghazi attacks that left four americans dead. As al jazeera reports, that hearing produced little in the way of new information. It is the second time Hillary Clinton has appeared before a Congressional Committee to answer questions about what happened in 2012 in benghazi, libya, when four americans died. The head of the committee insists this line of questioning is different. These questions lingered because those previous investigations were narrow in scope, and either incapable or unwilling to access the facts and evidence necessary. The former secretary of state is defending her actions. Ive lost more sleep than all of you put together. I have been racking my brain about what more could have been done. This is the ninth investigation in more than 17 months. Four and a half Million Dollars have been spent but turned up few new details. Democrats charge the true motivation of the Congressional Committee is to destroy clintons president ial ambitions. Republicans are squandering millions of taxpayer dollars on this abusive effort to derail as hsecretary continue tons president ial campaign. Defending why she didnt see or personally respond to hundred was emails requesting additional security, including one from the ambassador who ultimately lost his life. How come not a Single Person lost a single paycheck . He took those requests where they belonged, to the security professionals. The combative hearing went on for hours. At one point, clinton looking on bewildered as the top democratic bickered. I move we put into the record the entire transcript of Sidney Blumenthal. If we release the emails, lets do the transcript so the whole world can see. It was the witness herself under attack who appealed to feuding politicians to work together. I would like us to get back to those times, canning man, beirut we lost far mother americans not once but twice within a year. There was no partisan effort. People rose above politics, a Democratic Congress worked with a republican administration. The Committee Says its work is not yet complete. It will be interviewing more witnesses in the weeks to come, issuing a final report in 2016. Al jazeera, washington. Tennessee State University is on lockdown this morning.

The Obama Administration is defending a decision to led to the death of an american soldier in iraq, the first u. S. Service member to die in the fight against isil. Al jazeera has exclusive details of a rescue mission at an isil prison in northern iraq. The u. S. Was responding to an urgent request for transport helicopters and combat support from Kurdish Peshmerga forces, one of americas most effective and reliable partners in the war against isil. The kurds believe some fighters were held by isil in a walled prison compound west of kirkuk, and were about to be executed. They appealed to the u. S. For help to launch a desperate Daring Rescue mission. Ash carter signed off on the plan under the assist authority of the u. S. Train and assess mission after convinced isil was on the verge of mass murder. We discovered the presence of mass graves as this compound, freshly dug mass graves. Weve since learned that the hostages had been told by their captors they would be executed and placed into those mass graves after morning prayers today. Army colonel steve warren spoke in baghdad in an exclusive skype interview with al jazeera, provide a detailed ticktock on how the raid went down. Four u. S. Helicopters, two chinook transports and two blackhawks landed near the compound, carrying Kurdish Peshmerga commandos and u. S. Special operations forces. U. S. Troops stayed back with the helicopters while peshmerga command dose attacked the compound. Pinned down by fierce fire and taking casualties, u. S. Special forces come to the aid of the kurdish troops. A u. S. Soldier is killed, four peshmerga are wounded. The discovery of far more prisoners than expected, up to 70, requires a fifth c. H. 47 chinook helicopter to get everyone out safely. Colonel warren said if the u. S. Special Commando Forces had not intervened, the mission likely would have failed. In heated battle while partners were pinned down and being wounded, these commandos on the ground decided to come to the aid of those who they were advising and assessing. They were positioned properly where they could maneuver and eliminate the gunfire that had the peshmerga pinned down and because that have, the peshmerga were able to get through the breach and then finish clearing the objective. It turned out no kurds were among the roughly 70 prisoners who were freed, but there were at least 22 members of the Iraqi Security forces among the captives. Five isil fighters were captured, more than 20 isil forces were reportedly killed. Jami macintyre, al jazeera, the pentagon. These freed in the mission have been described by the pentagon as hostages, but they were not the peshmerga fighters that the team thought they were there to rescue. Former Navy Special Ops officer said that doesnt necessarily amount to an in tell failure. Only in the sense that the very specific bodies that you may have been looking for werent there. I mean as an intelligence professional, i can tell that you theres a thought that everything that goes on within the world. You may have imagery, you may have drone video, you may have actual agents who have penetrated in there. You may have members of isis and in this instance, we probably did have members of isis who got away from that compound and were talking that hey, weve got 20, 30 kurds in there with Iraqi Security forces and were going to kill them. The Kurdish Regional government requested United States support for that mission to get out there people. In the end, we yielded a far greater number of captives, and gave us members of isis who were themselves captive, who will give us an enormous quantity of intelligence. Officials say they recovered important in tell from the raid but have not given out details. We are watching a developing story out of new jersey. A school bus collided with a tractor trailer. The driver of the truck fled the scene. The bus driver is still trapped inside. Those are the firefighters on the scene trying to rescue that driver. There were no children and this may be the good news, onboard that bus at the time. We are following another bus accident, a breaking story overnight. 42 people have died in southwest france after a tour bus and a truck collided. The collision took place near a village about 30 miles east of bordeaux. The bus passengers were mostly elderly tourists on a day trip. Both vehicles caught fire after the collision. We address the families and share our grief and shed light on this accident and bring the rescue team, because that is still necessary. It is frances worst Road Accident in more than 30 years. Were learning new details about the fatal stabbing at a school in sweden. Police now say it may have been a hate crime. The school is located in an area with a lot of newly arrived asylum seekers.

There is a Seventh Church fire in the st. Louis area. Police say it followed the same pattern as six earlier church burnings, but this latest fire happened at a mostly white church. The others had mostly black congregations. A Florida Church will hold a town hall meeting to discuss the death of a black man shot by police. The family saying he never fired his gun during that roadside encounter with an Undercover Police officer in an unmarked car. The officer fired his weapon six times. We are live at the Palm Beach Gardens police department. I understand you talked to the family of cory jones. What did they have to say . Thats right. We spoke to the god marry and aunt of cory jones who told us they were close. She had just had lunch with him last week. She said she cant believe he is not here anymore. The family said they have more questions than answers about his death and they are leaning on a community here to support them during this time. Those chants coming from hundreds who gathered at a rally thursday for cory jones. The 31yearold drummer was fatally shot by a plain clothes officer after his car broke down on the side of the road. Now his family says new details about the confrontation between jones and the officer raised even more troubling questions about the deadly encounter. I need to know why, why my son is gone today. Why. The family met privately on thursday with the state Attorneys Office. They say they were told cories body was found 80 to 100 feet from his car and that he did not use his handgun. Cory jones never fired his weapon. Never fired his weapon. That is confirmed. Police are offering Little Information about what happened when the officer stopped to investigate what looked like an abandoned car. Palm beach Gardens Police have said the officer was confronted by an armed subject. Lawyers for the family say the officer shot at jones six times and three bullets hit him. The state Attorney Office told him the officer did not properly identify himself and jones may not have realized he was dealing with a police officer. Why didnt he identify himself, show his badge . The death is being investigated by the county office and state Attorneys Office. All lives do matter. Going forward, what do you want to see happen . We want justice. We want transparency. I miss him. I miss him so much. The community is hoping to get more answers at that town hall meeting scheduled for tonight. The lawyer for the family will be at that meeting and the family says everything that they have been told so far from the state attorneys offers comes from statements that the officer made to investigators after the shooting. They say they are frustrated because they have so many questions and without a dash cam, the officer didnt have a body camera on him. Without that, they only have the version from the officer. We are talking about an area that is literally divided by railroad tracks. Whats next in the investigation of this case . The sheriffs offers is handling the investigation. It could be weeks or months, up to a month before thats settled. They have to corroborate the forensic evidence with the statements that the officer made. They are still waiting for a toxicology report, autopsy report and then the state Attorney Office will have to decide whether they press charges against the officer. Thank you very much.

He tweeted that he would quote address my future in the campaign. He has been polling atlas than 1 . He has only raised about 30,000 so far. Congressman paul ryan is moving closer to becoming the next speaker of the house. He officially announced his bid for the job after winning over some of his right wing colleagues. As speaker, ryan could be in for a bumpy ride. While many republicans were pushing ryan to enter the race, he resisted, saying it required too much travel and less time with his family. This week, he amended that, saying he would run if the House Republican Conference United behind him. Paul ryan had been the subject of speculation for weeks. I know that paul is a committee guy. He likes when the committees are allowed to work. I think hes already sort of mentally committed to many of the same things that we want. I think we can deliver an overwhelming majority. The senator rose to the top of the list after Kevin Mccarthy dropped a bombshell by bough out of the race earlier this month. He lost support almost immediately by publicly implying that the house benghazi investigation was designed to damage Hillary Clintons president ial chances.

In a letter, ryan said that unity may still be he is he will elusive. While he won the backing of the Study Committee and tuesday group, he failed to get an actual endorsement from the freedom caucus. Many members say ryan is too willing to compromise.

He instantly becomes the front runner for the post powerful position in congress. President obama sending back to congress a major defense bill that he says is full of flaws. He voluntary tote the bill that could prevent the Obama Administration from closing Guantanamo Bay. Began to know mow is one of the premier mechanisms for jihadists to recruit. Its time for us to close it. It is outdated, expensive, its been there for years and we can do better in terms of keeping our people safe while making sure that we are consistent with our values. He also vowed as candidate obama to close it. He wants a deal that would address mandatory cuts and spending. It does appear the house has the votes to sustain the veto.

Al jazeeras bisi onileere reports. Muhammed moved to Metro Detroit with his wife, mortgage and four children in july. The familys life today is much different than it used to be. We were facing danger on a daily base. Where we lived, there were continuous daily clashes, our lives were a constant threat. When the civil war broke out more than four years ago, the family fled to turkey and lived at a syrian refugee camp for three years before admitted to the u. S. After we crossed borders to turkey, i sat down and went. I started looking at my village. I cried for an hour. Were a country founded on immigrants. Sean is with loose ran social receives of measure, a nonprofit that helped resettle some of the 100 Syrian Refugees that of arrived in the states so far this year. What weve seen historically and in research is that Refugee Resettlement and immigration can add to economic growth, producing significantly.

The federal government may recall more vehicles with defective airbags, so far eight deaths and dozens of injuries have been linked to exploding airbags. Lisa stark has more on what is already the largest automotive recall in u. S. History. Weve seen the horrific effects from defect i have takata airbags when the air bag explodes with too much force, shards of metal fly out. People have been badly cut, lost their eyesight and even their lives. Now for the first time, a dramatic look at an inflator coming apart. The government test video has been slowed down, and you cannot hear the extremely loud bang, but you can see why this is so deadly. Our goal is a safe air bag in every american vehicle as quickly as possible. Thats a huge task. Nearly 24 million driver and passenger airbags have been recalled in some 19 million cars. The bulk of those vehicles come from five manufacturers, bmw, Fiat Chrysler, ford, mazda and honda. Nationwide, fewer than a quarter of the recalled airbags have now been replaced. In states with hot, humid climates, conditions that help trigger the failures, fewer than a third of the air bags have been changed out. At a Public Meeting on the massive recall, nitsa will decide whether to force automakers to recall airbags more quickly and may have to broaden the recall to include side airbags. We want consumers to know we are considering all the options we can think of to speed things up. Of greatest concern, airbags at least five years old that have spent the most time in those hot, high humidity states. Elliot drives a ford mustang with a recalled air bag. He drove up from georgia for the meeting. Why did you come all the way to washington, d. C. . Because i am annoyed and tired of being jerked around. He said he received his recall notice in july and headed to his local ford dealer. I asked what am i supposed to do . You wont give me a loaner car, you cant tell me when im going to get a replacement for it. The Service Advisor told me im safe because my air bag light is not on. That is not true. The air bag warning light has nothing to do with this defect. This misinformation underscoring the confusion consumers are facing. He has parked his mustang for now, said he is lucky enough to be able to afford another car. Thats his ride back to georgia and for the foreseeable future. Wisconsin congressman paul ryan made it official, he is running for speaker of the house. His candidacy came with several conditions, including one he called a personal request. I cannot and i will not give up my family time. I may not be on the road as often as previous speakers, but i pledge to try and make up for it with more time communicating our vision, our message. Ryans conditions were met with strong reactions of praise and criticism. He may or may not have intended to, but he added fuel to the debate over traditional gender roles, family leave and who should get it when they say they want it. A website about family and work life cater that is dads, simon a personal friend of mine joins us. Good to see you. Good morning, thank you. I want to start with massachusetts senator lit beth warren who tweeted this family time should not be a periphery served for speaker of the house. You deserve it and so does everyone else. Does the average american man feel like he can do what ryan did and say i need family time, without risking his stature. Putting aside ryans politics and some of his beliefs on Work Life Balance as it pertains to policy. This is something that should be celebrated. Americans overall are struggle, fathers in particular, who are showing up at home and with their kids as care takers and Decision Makers around the house want to be spending more time. This is a tough decision, and powell ryan stepping out is something that a lot of fathers cant do. It helps with the stigma and yet hes being criticized as being a hypocrite in some ways. Is that fair criticism . Hes certainly not breaching what hes practicing in that sense, so, you know, one can sort of look at that and say yes, hes hypocritical. On the other side, this is very, very important. Across the american workforce, theres the mommy tax and daddy tax often taken when somebody does decide to take more leave, spend more time, be a coach at their child for their fileds soccer team. As a result, those people pursuing high power crease dont take as much leave and spent as much time to their family and that is coming at a cost to everybody. There has been a female speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, would a woman be able to stand up and say what paul ryan did and in the be punished in some way . I would hope so. If you take 160 of the top World Leaders in the United States across academics, politics, business, an elsewhere, only 14 of them are mothers. That is to say, you know, theres a big gap in mothers serving at leaders and what were talking about is a big part of that gap. Author Cheryl Sandberg had this to say, she praised him, saying we need work to work for parents and having leaders who waiver responsibilities at fathers as much as their responsibility to say their jobs show all of us what is possible. She seems to take that positive view, but she got slammed as a hypocrite on social media. What is that about . Across the workforce, were overworked. Across the most developed countries in the world, the 36 countries, the u. S. Ranks 32 in workplace balance. After you put the kids down, most people are responding to emails and doing more work and email is increasing 15 in terms of our volume. Were all working too much. Thats right. I think thats part of what its about. On the other hand, theres a real desire amongst the american workforce, amongst dads and moms to be able to spend more time with their kids. We need to create policys that address that, and it cant just be left to facebook and yahoo. It needs to be far more broad. Because we need help. We certainly do. Mothers need help. Good to see you, thank you. Thank you. Spend two years at the state Department Working under Hillary Clinton, since then, she has decided to put her family first. She talked to al jazeera about how people reacted to that decision in washington. Foreign policy heavy weight, scholar, wife, mother, by any measure, an marie slaughter is a role model, a mantel that made her a lightning rod for criticism when she turned down a high powered promotion at the state department to devote more time to her teenage sons. I very deliberately said we have two teening a boys at home, the last years theyll be at home and my husband and i both want to be here. When i say that, i could see myself falling in the estimation of the person i was talking to. I could literally watch them thinking oh, she put her family first. I guess either she didnt do well in washington, or she just isnt as ambitious, shes not as much of a player as i thought she was. So she fought back, penning one of the most widely read articles in the history of Atlantic Monthly and now a book, unfinished business, which argues for a workplace policy overhaul to allow women and men flexibility to care for family. 50 of men find it somewhat or very difficult to fit work and family together. 56 of women. What you are really talking about is a 21st century workforce and w we have a 20th 20th mid 20th currently workplace, leave it to believer workplace that assumes there is a full time woman at home. I want to say you are 50 years out of date, you are losing talented, you are stressing your workforce. You are not making room for the actual reality of your workers lives. Patricia sobga, al jazeera. As the father of two daughters, i am glad we are having this debate for their sake. Its not just women affected. Hopefully they wont have to grapple with the same hard choices. A major drug bust on both sides of the mexican border. How a tunnel was used by drug cartels. A band lost in the debate for identity. Suing to keep a name many call racist. The founder of chinas confuse peace prize is defending the winner. The zimbabwe president is the winner. Other finalists were bill gates and ban kimoon. Zimbabwe said economy is in the toilet. Human Rights Groups wondering how he could receive such an honor. 22 people under arrest after police uncovered a secret tunnel connecting mexico and the u. S. The tunnel is 2400 feet long, 30 feet deep. It was lit, ventilated and equipped with a rail system. Authorities confiscated 12 tons of marijuana. We want to go to Nicole Mitchell. We have been tracking Hurricane Patricia throughout the morning, everybody reporting this is a very nasty, major storm. This did rapid intensification, getting very intense very quickly. Intensity is the hard evident thing of hurricanes to forecast. It is always a challenge. This is kind of a tight buzz saw, that eye that you see is 10 miles across, and they rarely sustain that high intensity for a long period of time, but because this is supposed to make landfall within the next 12 hours, it could still be a cat five when it does that. That is exceptionally rare. Regardless if it does lose intensity, it churns up energy. This is going to be devastating. Making that landfall later today, kind of in that Puerta Vallarta area where were watching it and in terms of the United States, we are seeing a little moisture feed into what we already had going on. A lot of the state of texas under going. The next couple of days, still tracking that, because we have so much moisture in the south. We did have a front move through the northeast yesterday. That dropped temperatures 1020 degrees. This time yesterday, that was a cat one storm. It just exploded pretty much yesterday. Thank you very much. President obama is defending the black lives Matter Movement that arose out of the Police Shootings of unarmed africanamerican men and teens. The reason that the organizers use the phrase black lives matter was not because they said they were suggesting nobody elses lives matter. Rather, what they were suggesting was there is a specific problem that is happening in the Africanamerican Community that is not happening in other communities. The Africanamerican Community is not just making this up. Its not just something being politicized. Its real. The president made those comments during a meeting with Law Enforcement, but he also said the focus cannot just be on Police Officers who risk their lives to keep communities safe, saying the criminal Justice System needs overhauling. Theres an Asian American rock star famous or his talks against racism also drawing attention to his band name, the slant. He has been fighting to trademark the name, but is told no. We are behind the scenes of a music video shoot in the oregon Legacy Center in a hall featuring the photographs of a photographer who has taken pictures of the days of internment camps in world war ii, found the principle pals in those photographs, found them in the modern day and told their story, what has happened to them since, showing current generations of history and what their forefathers went through. Some of the worst things in history have happened to these people and theyve moved on, and no matter what happens, theres not much you can do to control those outside forces, but you can control how you react to it. Theres a term in japanese that means things are as they are and you just go on. The band shooting the music video is also very interested in those same themes. They want all of us to have what the band founder calls an uncomfortable conversation about race and racism. Well tell you more about the band and its mission and huge legal squabble theyre in with the u. S. Government. They want to trademark their name and if he said say they cant because its racist. The name of the band, the slants. Well have their story tonight. Al jazeera, portland, oregon. You can see alans full story at 8 00 eastern time. Im sure you want to know my opinion about this as an Asian American. I do. I think probably theyre trying to reclaim and repurpose a term that has been derogatory against Asian Americans. I look forward to seeing the story tonight. Why a school says a coach has to stop praying with players. A Football Game in Washington State tonight is going to be about what the coach does after the game. He has been told not to lead prayers anymore. For nine years running, Bremerton High School football coach joe kennedy has been leading his players in post game prayers. When he continued that tradition last friday night, he was violating an order from the district that said, talks with students may not include religious expression, including prayer. I dont want to break the law and i dont want to set a bad example for our kids and i never want to jeopardize the program that weve set up, and the taxpayers end up paying for it if something goes horribly wrong and they get sued. Thats not what coaching staffs are supposed to be doing. Many players and parents say they support him. The School District has said it has no plans to fire kennedy, writing in a statement, at this time, mr. Kennedys Employment Status with the School District remains unchanged. The district continues to hope that the district and mr. Kennedy can arrive at common understandings. The conservative Liberty Institute, a Legal Defense fund, is backing the coach. In a letter to the School District, it says kennedy has the constitutional right to lead post game prayers. Private citizens on their own time have a right to practice their faith and we think its very important at Liberty Institute to protect that constitutional right. I dont understand how this could be wrong, im not establishing region, not preaching with anything. Many have said the problem with the prayers sessions is players may feel forced to participate. The coach said hes never required any of his athletes in prayer. They do so because they want to. Why does the coach say he is leading the prayers . He was inspired when i a movie, 2006 movie called facing the giants, the story of a High School Football coach who inspired a losing teach to win by telling them their first goal was to serve god. A lot of protest about that. John henry smith, thank you. Stock of alphabet expected to open up this morning. The company came up with a math joke to show us how well it is doing. Profits last quarter were well above wall street expectations. They got a boost from advertising. Heres the math.
