The state Department Says as of now it is not aware of any americans among the hostages. The attack has involved up to tenilitants whoammed into the Hotel Grounds in a vehicle using guns and grenades. Malis security minister has said there are now at least three dead at this stage. Up to 170 hostages, guests and staff are reportedly being held by the attackers. There wewe early reportshat about a dozen of the hostages were released if they could recite passages from the koran. 80 have now been freed. This is a hotel in the International Area of malis capital and normally has a large multinational clientele. Turkish airlines said five of its employees are among the hostages. The u. S. Embassy has asked u. S. Citizens to shelter in place where they are. There may well be a link between this attack and that in paris a week ago. Mali is a former french colony and french troops went in to put down an islamist rebelli two years ago. There are a thousand french troops still in mali and a u. N. Peace keeping force. Mali special forces were told to enter the hotel to try to free thanks. We hav a former fbi supervisor, a special agent. Welcome. Thank you, sir. Were just learning all the developments in mali. From what you know, what does it say . Mali is an area where al qaeda is very active. If you recall, affiliates of al qaeda were able to control mali at one point. And the french intervened back in 2013 to assist the government taking control back in the country. I wouldnt be surprised if al qaeda or one of its affiliates, i wont be surprised they were behind that attack, because al qaeda today definitely dont want to be up staged by isis in paris. Weve been so focused on isis because of the situation in syria and what happened in paris, but you say youre more worried about al qaeda than im worried on both. Al qaeda maybe stateless but the state of al qaeda is very strong. Isis came out from al qaeda. Al qaeda is an idealogical narrative thatrovide these jihadi extremists with the passion and their goals. Al qaeda is way stronger than it used to be on 9 11. On 9 11 they had 400 members. Now they have armies in syria. Under what name. They fight under al nusrah. Now they control the Third Largest city in the country. They are very active not only in mali, in algeria and tunisia and libya. Are they in competition, al qaeda and isis . Yes. They are in competition. They are basically isis used to be part of al qaeda. Al qaeda is exactly. Al qaeda is a poisonous tree and isis is just a branch of that tree. Isis is a symptom of the disease. Al qaeda is the disease. Lets go back to the bombings in franch wheree where the master mind has been confirmrm dead. D. How importrtt is that . It gives you closure that the leader is dead. Also with in saintdenis they were able to disrupt there was maps for the airport, for the defense district in paris. They found explosives, they found weapons. That is extremely important. But still there is a lot of things need to be done. And thth threat level in p pis remains very high. We keep hearing the snake has many heads. Yeah. Look at the network that conducted this attack. This network is not only a its also in belgium. Now i think they are searching for a terrorist in the netherlands. Attacks. A french tv video claims to show a female suicide bomber setting off an explosion during that raid. Officials say this morning that a third person died in that apartment. Holly williams is in paris with the latest on the bomber aabdeslam, is thought to still be on the run and french Officials Say they have no idea where he is. The hunt for Salah Abdeslam has now been extended to the netherlands. Unlike seven of the other attackers, he didnt blow himself up, but, instead, slipped through the fingers of French Police as he escaped. French media is reporting that this is who thought to have wednesday as police stormed the hideout of ababaud. French police s s they found her passport at the scene and identified her body usg fingerprints. This audio apparently records aitboulahcens last moments alive as they demanded to know the whereabouts of abaaoud. French meded obtained video that purportedly shows the moment of the blags.

The isis video threatens an attack in the u. S. , this time targeting the white house. But fbi director james comey says Law Enforcement is not aware of any credible threat of a paristype attack. We have seen no connection at all between the paris attackers and the united states. Reporter stiti the fbi is investigating what it cal a few dozen people deemed highest risk for carrying out a copycat parisstyle attack. Comey vowed to cover them like a blanket. U. S. Officials remain concerned about lone wolf attacks inspired by those isis videos. The department of justice is taking another look at all of the individuals on their radar who may be isisi sympathizers. Just as it did over the summer, it could lead to a flurry of arrests. In june one such case led to a confrontation after a terrorism suspect in boston charged officers with a knife. The suspect was shot and killed.

Weve heard a lot of suggestions from all the president ial candidates this week about how to handle Syrian Refugees. But donald trump seemed to take things a step further on thursday when he appeared to endorse a muslim database that would be used to track all muslims living here in the u. S. There should be a lot of systems beyond databases. Wewehould have a lot of systems. Today you can do it. But right now we have to have a border. We have to have strength, we have to have a wall. Reporter during a Campaign Stop in iowa trump was asked if hed consider using a database to track muslims living in the u. S. I would certainly implement that absolutely. Reporter later in the day he seemed t t back away from the idea. Ben carsrs used a canine analogy to describe the changes with screening Syrian Refugees who want to come here. If theres a rabid dog run running around your neighborhood, youre probably good about that dog. Doesnt mean that you hatde all dogs. We have to have in place screeningg mechanisms that allow us to determine who the mad dogs are. Reporter Democratic Candidates argued against even a temporary hold on accepting refugees. Frontrunner Hillary Clinton argued the refugees are fleeing the same terrorists threatening the united states. Turning away orphans, applying a religious test, discriminating against muslims, slamming the door on every syrian refugee, that is just not who we are. We are better than that. Reporter former Florida Governor jeb bush struck a different tone. We need to be cautious as we go through this not to get to a point where our emotions over take our brain. Reporter bush did strike back at president obama, who focus on allowing in syrian christians instead of muslims.

So, now Law Enforcement agencies throughout the country are trying to educate the public on your options are run, hide or fight. Reporter thats what you tell people they should do . F yao in positionon to take the gunman out, its the best opposite for saving lives before police can get there. And thats kind of counterintuitive to what cops tell people. We say, dont take actions. Call 911. Dont intervene in the robbery. Weve never told people, dont take action. This is a different scenario. Reporter youre telling them that now, though. We are. Reporter to get that message out, Police Departments are making vidids like these that inform the public to use furniture and barricade their offices to hide from an attacker. The videos also emphasize creative ways to fight back. According to the fbi, in 13 of active shooter attacks, unarmed civilians were able to stop the gunman. It is important to remember that as tragic and scary as these active shooter incidents are, its highly unlikiky yououl ever be caughttp in one. A persons chance of actually with an active shooter is 1 in 2 million. A persons chance of being hit by lightning is 1 in 700,000.

Xarelto is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarinin theres limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. You know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions. Dont get me started on that. I didnt have to. We started on xarelto. Nice pass. Safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. You know xarelto is the 1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. Thats a big win. It is for me.

Most of the really interesting Silicon Companies are global in nature and they think of their customers and members as global in scope and so the problem is that they have to say, okay, how do we protect their interests the right way. Theyre not saying how do we protect isis interests, how do citizen in any particular coununy. And thth tends to lead you to the e ght way to do that is to do something globally. Now, ive been thinking a little about this and i said, look, if the governments of the major world countries could get together and say here is what we are all doing collectively, like we all agree on kind of a global treaty that this is what were going to do, then its easier for the Tech Companies to do that because then theyre not playing one country against another or one set of citizenry against another. You can watch the full interview with reid hoffman tonight on my pbs program. The paris attacks are also fuelin the latest battle in congress over guns and background checks. Thousands on the governments terrorist watch list which includes the nofly list bought firearms in the last decade. Think about that. And all of the sales were legal. Nancy cordess on capitol hill how that watch list iss not enough to stop a gunsale. Good morning. Reporter good morning. A bill to close that loophole Congress Every year for the past eight years but it has gone nowhere. Like all legislation involving guns, this bill generates strong emotions on both sides. If youre too dangerous to board a plane, youre too dangerous to buy a gun. Reporter democratic senator Dianne Feinstein calls closing the loophole a nobrainerer originally backed by the bush administration, the bill would give the attorney general the power to deny the sale, delivery or transfer of a firearm to anyone known or suspected to be a terrorist. The bill would apply to the approximately 420,000 people on the federal governments terror watch list. A recent government study found that over a tenyear period, the fbi conducted more than 2,000 firearm background checks on people whose names were on the watch list. Less than 200 were denied, and for reasons unrelated to the list. To think that we have this loophole or gap in the law is unimaginable. Reporter republicans have long argued that a bill like this would infringe on Second Amendment rights. A 2009 Justice Department audit showed 35 of the names on the watch list shoulddot have been there in t t first place. In a statement to cbs news, the National Rifle association said the legislation does nothing to would deny lawabiding citizens their Constitutional Rights without due process. House speaker paul ryan, who passed a bill yesterday to beef up screening of Syrian Refugees, was noncommittal on the gun bill. You said its better to be safe than sorry. Is thihi something thatt youd suppppt . Thihiis the beginning of all this process. The task force is taking all suggestions from democrats and republicans. Reporter when a firearms purchase is checked against the terror watch list, it does end up helping investigators, because that application includes a Social Security number, it includes a name and address and it even pin points where the request was made and thats information, gayle, that agents may not have had before. Thank you. Jennifer lawrence blasted hollywoods equal pay gap. Now women across tv and movies are breaking their silence about New York Times ahead, hes a ahead, hes a husband, a father and a fugitive. Reporter im erin moriarty. 48 hours in argentina. A man wanted for murder in denver finds refuge here, but he says the real reason why the u. S. Government wants him back is because he knows some of its morning. I donwant to live with the uncertainties of hep c. Or wonder. Whether i should seek treatment. I am ready. Because today theres harvoni. A revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. Harvoni is proven to cure up to 99 of patients. Whove had no prior treatment. Itit the one and onon cure thats. One pill, once a day for 12 weeks. Certain patients. Can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. With harvoni, theres no interferon and there are no complex regimens. Tell your doctor if you have other liver or kidney problems, or other medical conditions. And about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. Harvoni should not be taken with any medicines containing amiodarone, rifampin, or st. Johns wort. It also should not be taken with any other medicine that contains sovaldi. Side effects may include tiredness and headache. I am ready to put hep c behind me. Are you ready . Ask your hep c specialist if harvoni a federal investigation is under way in hollywood this morning. The equal Employment Opportunity commission is interviewing female directors to learn if there is a pattern of discrimination. Katherine hardwick told the government about what she calls the slander, libellous and untrue statements made about myself and other women. The filmmaker is among 100 men and women in hollywood who shared their thoughts with pulitzer prizewinning columnist maureen dowd. Ureen, good morning. How perersive is this problem . Well, norah, i think weve all seen the numbers, so its 1. 9 of the top 100 grossing films are made by women directors. I grew up on movies. They form our ideas of who we are and hollywood, you know, a long time ago stopped sending out really positive role models for women. They started making super hero movies where men are the heroes and women are the afterthoughts, as the women inn hollywood say. Whats interesting about your piece, its not about numbers, this is about real people saying real things. Right. And theres a lot of raw emotions. Exactly right. And hollywood is run on fear. The whole town is so afraid. If they have a 100 million movie, theyre afraid to let a woman director try it for fear the women studio chiefs are afraid because if its a woman, theyll get extra blame. The men are afraid because they just want to find young guys in baseball caps who remind them of them. To pick up on charlies point, though, about the comments, every though a female driven project is made and succeed its considered a fluke. Whereas a white male is presumed competent until proven otherwise. And this one, they dont want us to be priests, they want us to be obedient nuns. The amazing thing is ive covered saududarabia and ive covered the cath rickolic church. In both cases these societies got warped, they got sick because theyre not using the brains and heart of half the population. Yeah, of women. Who knew that the same thing could happen in the most liberal town on earth. Its just amazing. Female writers got quotes like i dont understand how this character can be smart and sexy. Or can you insert a rapee scene here . Right. Because that was liz merriweather, shes great. This is something a male executive said to her . But women executives too because women are caught in these narrow stereotypes where they want women characters to be likeable. A woman c cracter who slept w wh several men and the men said, no, shes not likeable if she does this. So theyre caught in these outdated myths both in terms of how they market movies. Theyre just thinking about what 15yearold boys want. Even though tom rothman, said of head of sony said women drive the markets and watch more tv. But t ey still in thehe heads want those 15yearold boysr are catering to the 15yearold boy within themselves. They dont want to see women crying. Men just think i dont want women are going to start crying. Thats what dana, she has a new show called the good girls revolt. She said the real fear of men in hollywood is if you let women make movies its all going to be beaches and terms of endearment and too much crying. So what does it take to change all this . Well, theres a federal because its very efemoral. It would be very hard to prove because it all happens behind closed doors. But i think women are talking up, the actresses are talking up. Natalie portman askedor a man director. Selma hayek says were not leaving at 30. When we turn 30, wete not disappearing anymore. Reese witherspoon is starting her own production company. And they have been very successful by the way. Katherine kennedy says women need to take the initiative. But lena dunham had another take on that. Kathleen kennedy in charge off lucas films saidd weve never had a woman direcec star wars because i woman never called me and told me what her vision is. Lena dunham is said, wait a minute, you call all the young guys you give these jobs to. Why are women expected to hustle twice as hard to get the job . A great film critic whos called this problem immoral, if not illegal, you know, says that women s suld stop blaming women and hollywood and help them. And instead should call on women to make the films. Well, one top woman at a studio said to me were chipping away at the problem. Were going to try to make it better for our children and grandchildren. Now, compare that to Justin Trudeau who has a 5050 cabinet and they said why are you doing that . He said its 2015. Hes the n n Prime Minister of canada. And the woman at the top of the studio is saying maybe it will be better for our grandchildren. Talent withll sorts o genitalia can make money. I think thats very true. Exactly. Who said that . Gingie cohen. And theres plenty of evidence of that, right . Hunger games. Oh, wow, maybe a woman. Maureen dowd. Thank you. Always good to see you.

Wed like to take the time remind you that a t of kids in siouxland dont have a winter coat to keep them warm. But you can change that. By donating to this look at that. Here is a time lapse view of the beautiful sunrise this morning over Lake Michigan in good ole chicago. Morning. Here comes the sun. I like it. Comimi up in this half ur, this man iss on a missiono change education. Hes going back to the future. His name is sal kahn. Hes in our toyota green room. The online schooling pioneer shows his traditional brick and Mortar School with unconventional teaching methods. Thats ahead. Right now its time to show you some of the headlines from around the globe. Britains independent reports on the discovery of the worlds second largege diamond. Its the size of a tennis ball. The 1100carat stone was unearthed wednesday. Its value could run into the tens of millions of dollars. Some would say a little gaudy. But youd take it. Youre right. Time reports on music for comments he made. He described whats behind a new commercial for apple streaming service. He said some women find it difficult at times to find music and that triggered a social media backlash that you wouldnt believe calling his remarks i feel so badly about this because we had called jimmy to unveil the commercial here and we were all sitting at the table and its just awful that something he said was taken out of context. We were both talkingngo him in the green ro and i get the point that he was making. Its important to watch the entire interview. I told him how i still love itunes and am not ready to make the jump towards streaming. My husband said itunes is going to be something of the past, youre going to need streaming. Although adele shows us today we still need itunes. Those of us who know him know the last thing he is, is sexist. I bet he can t wait to come back next week. Hes always welcome right there at the table. Hes a good guy. All right, were learning from the San Francisco chronicle theyre reporting on facebooks new tool to help couples after a breakup. Its meant to save people from emotional pain to allow them to avoiddeeing pictures or posts from a former spouse or partner. Users can hide their own posts from exes and avoid the more extreme step of unfriend. You just kind of block it, sort of. And the Washington Post reports on a new study showing men tend to overeat as a way to show off to women. Cornell researchers found men ate 93 more pizza and 86 more salad when dining with at least one woman compared to those eating just with n. The study says males may be following an evolutionary impulse to show biological fitness. Whatever that means. Is that true . Whatever that means. Thats so crazy. I once went out with somebody who said ive never seen a woman eat as much as you do. I said im just showing off. He never asked me out again. What does that an . Moving r rht along, from standardized t tting to common core, the battle over teaching americas kids is heating up this morning. In 2006 Hedge Fund Manager sal kahn used online tutoring to try and reinvent learning and break down the barriers with the kahn academy. It delivers more than 589,000 lessons. Now he is thinking small. He created a brick and Mortar School in california. Students ages 5 through 12 are in one classroom. Sal khan, welcome back to the table. Great to be here. I cant imagine kids 5 to 12. They have different mindsets, different skill sets but theyre all in one room learning together . In a lot of wayss it g gs back to how humans learned from most of 200,000 years of human history. Its only the last 150 years that we separated students by age and these classrooms. And the idea is, is that you can learn a lot from the students who are a little older than you. If youre 12 years old, you can exercise a lot of leadership and be a teaching assistant for the younger students. We do brere them outut every now and then but we separate them by independence level as opposed to age level. Whatever independence level youre on, in math, reading or writing, youre on your own track. So theres maybe a not so independent 5yearold who has moved ahead in math but needs remediation in reading and thats okay. Why did you want to build this brick and mortar, simply to provide a testiti placac you know, whenever someone imagines anything virtual, they say amazon. Com versus barnes noble. We always said khan academy the virtual will be a resource to liberate the physical. A handful of kids. But khan academy, we have over 30 Million Students using us. We could send them information on how to do similar things in their own classrooms. Montessori does some of that. You talk about a yearlong school. Why did you want that to be the curriculum . First of all, montessori, in a lot of ways we are exactly montessori. If montessori was around in 2015 we wouou hope she would use some of the same ideas and tools. In terms of year long, i guess the question is why not year long. Most of us stopped farming a little while ago and thats why Summer Vacation existed. And if you put all of these new ideas around mixed age and blended learning, all of those aside, the gap between the u. S. And shanghai test scores can be purely accounted for by time in the classroooo its really not only you have the Summer Learning loss, which is not only time that youre not learning and you could be but actively forgetting the things that you learned at the end of last year. Just summer and also full day, our Current School system was designed for one income families where the mom would be at home and the kids would come home. Now you have two across the demographics, you have two income earners, so why not go full day, allow the kids to get all the work done during the day and when they go home, the biggest correlate having success is having dinner with your family and sleeping. So create some space for that. But you know the counter argument teachers will make. Thats the unions and teachers say i cant do that on the salary you pay me. Thats the counter argument, right . This is something we want to explore because if you look at funding and education, actually very little of it goes to the teacher. Here in new york city public schools, theyre spending close to 20,000 per student per year. Thats about 500,000, 600,000 a classroom. Teachers get very little of that. They talked about the tech elites quest to reinvent school in its own image. Is that what youre tryinin to do . . Welel you knowow i d dve a honda so iont know if im a tech elite. Honda is a good car, sal. You are somebody that the tech elite Pay Attention to. It was actually my dream to start a school before khan academy existed. Now that weve had this reach weve worked with a bunch of schools. We said lets do it under our offices for real. You started khan academy cousin. How old was she . 12 at the time. Unit conversion. Did you ever think it would go to this . Its amazing what youve done in a short period of time. No. Good answer. Changing education. Suppppter like bill gatete love having you here, thanks as always, sal khan. This morning, a cameraman who worked for the federal government at ground zero after up next, 48 hours on denver law denver Law Enforcement officialalare in their secd decade fighting to bring back a man living in argentina. He faces a murder charge in the death of his first wife. Kurt sonnenfeld worked for fema, videotaping ground zero after 9 11. Hes battling extradition with a bizarre claim that the u. S. Really wants him back because of what he saw after the attacks. Erin moriarty went to buenos aires and heres a preview. Reporter Kurt Sonnenfeld is a wanted man in the u. S. , but he lives openly and freely in argentina, raising twin daughters with his second wife, palla. He is innocent. Theres nothing else to say. Reporter sonnenfelds first wife, nancy, died of a gunshot wound totohe head new years day, 2002. He insisted it was a suicide, but police said the scene said otherwise. Retired detective jonathan priest. We realized really very, very quickly that this was not a suicide. This was a homicide investigation. Reporter before sonnenfeld went on trial, prosecutors suddenly droppededhe caca, cititi insufficient evidence, but continued to investigate. A year and a half later, they refiled the murder charge. But there was a problem. Sonnenfeld was in argentina. Former colorado governor billow bill owens. He went there so he didnt have to face charges in colorado. Repepter when they tried to get him m extradited, sonnenfeld began his own pr campaign, tapping into argentinas opposition to the death penalty. They told me i was going to be put to death. Reporter in fact he never faced the death penalty. But for years he and his wife capitalized on that claim. The signs say dont let the u. S. Assassinate my father. I believe that mr. Sonnenfeld haha built an aura as a martyr, as a hero. I think the politics of argentina have protected him from a murder charge. Reporter but sonnenfeld didnt stop there. He began telling reporters in argentina the u. S. Really wants him back to silence him. For what he saw at ground zero during his work there as a fema cameraman. Do you think that the government knows . Yeah, im 100 sure of it. Reporter sonnenfeld claims the u. S. Knew about the attack but did nothing to stop it.
