the supreme court in the u.s. is to release two decision. we look at some of the most important rulings of this court. appear good to have you with us. topping the new, a major suspect in the i talk on the american compound in benghazi faced a federal judge in washington d.c. ahmed abu chattalah was captured two weeks ago by special forces in libya. stashed aboard the u.s. s "new york", the suspect was delivered to washington d.c. this morning. he was arrested and taken to court. we have the full story. >> reporter: his name is ahmed abu chattalah. he is the main suspect in an attack on the u.s. mission in benghazi, libya, on september 11th, 2012. that attack killed u.s. ambassador chris stevens, and three of his staff. early on saturday ahmed abu chattalah was flown to washington by navy ship. he'd been held on board since his capture two weeks ago. saturday he appeared here before a federal judge. ahmed abu chattalah pled not guilty insisting he is innocent and did not direct the assault on the u.s. consulate. the u.s. justice department charged ahmed abu chattalah on three counts, including murder and providing military support to terrorists. the appearance in federal court was the first opportunity for the judge to determine if ahmed abu chattalah was fit to stand trial. >> people were trying to get an idea of the state of mind he was in, what state of health he may have been in. clearly, a number of people wanted to make sure that he was clear and present. >> reporter: the attack is controversial. in the united states, days before it occurred, an anti-islam video posted on youtube sparked protests in the muslim world. the obama administration blamed the benghazi attack on what it said were spon tapious -- spontaneous protests. it later emerged it was planned and coordinated. it was alleged that the administration was covering up important details to protect president obama's chances or re-election two months later. >> the fact is we have four dead americans. was it because of a protest or guys out for a walk and decided to go kill some americans. they claim secretary of state hillary clinton's review was suspect. she, too, with aspirations for the white house. >> democrats fired back. the request for further details is nothing more than a right-wing conspiracy. republicans charge that the attack highlights failed policies. there has been countless investigations, including by a congressional committee. still, the trial of ahmed abu chattalah is expected to be watched closely by politicians on both sides. we talked with a former federal bureau of investigation special agent part of several high-five cases. he tells us lawyers on both sites will have a tough -- sides will have a tough job making sure the suspect gets a fair trial. >> it will be a difficult job for the defense team and the prosecutors. it will be up to the judge to maintain, you know, a fair - a decorum in the courtroom, and make sure that everybody gets their fair shake, if you will, at either making their case or defending the case. there'll be times when it will look like the defense is winning, as at times we'll see the judges ruling in favour of the prosecution. so that is typical for a - you know, a court case in america. >> he expects the defense team, once established, will have no time mounting a solid case in his favour. turning to iraq, where the government says it launched a major offensive aimed at regaining control of rebel-held areas. the army has been engaged in a fierce day of fighting in areas controlled by islamic state of iraq and levant. imran khan has the latesest from baghdad. >> reporter: as iraq battles i.s.i.l., the human cost is increasing. people know. the united nations says thousands are escaping in fear, as the violence takes on a sectarian nature. there are concerns that both may have killed in thes caught up in -- minutes inno sent caught up. >> troops are massed in samarra, when i.s.i.l. rebels took territory in the north-west. on saturday the soldiers started here, fighting their way up to tikrit. that town has been in the hands of i.s.i.l. since june the 11th. this latest attempt has been dubbed zero hour. they are in charge of the outside suburbs, and using shia forces and helicopter support. >> translation: it's confirmed that the i.s.i.l. leaders have started to flee. all the intelligent information today and yesterday showed that moral of the army is collapsing. >> pro-i.s.i.l. reports say they have brought in reinforcements, brought in a number of soldiers and destroyed humvees, and they have the iraqi army on the run. both say the fighting is continuing. >> in mosul, the iraqi airport struck targets. the americans would have given them advice on targetting hell-fire missiles. it's not just hell-fire over the skies. the u.s. confirmed it flew aircraft lethal and uplethal. >> we continue to fly manned and unmanned aircraft over iraq, at the government's request, predom naptly for re -- prodominanty already recon sense purposes. some are armed. the reason some are arned is for fours application reasons, now that we have introduced into the country some military advisors whose object difficult will be to operate outside the confines of the embassy. >> despite that i.s.i.l. not only controls the second biggest city of i.s.i.l., but displaced or degree of power and shows no sign of backing down on tuesday iraq's parliament will meet to try to form a new government. we spoke to the former news editor of the "new york times" in baghdad, and said the crisis requires a political solution. >> if we don't have a new government, a new prime minister, a new political approach to the counter crisis, i think we will see sort of - i think we'll have - we will have a sunni province, whether elected or not. this will lead to a partition of the country. iraq will disintegrate, unfortunately. >> more than a million iraqis will be displaced because of the fighting. some that are sick and injured will be forced to leave iraq just to get medical help. >> families like these are risking the dangerous journey through western troik get medical assistance in jordan, they drove for 14 hours from baghdad to get to the border crossing, a journey that took four hours. that man said they had to take the risk because his daughter needs medical help. >> translation: we are taking her to imam for medical treatment. there are no doctors. in baghdad they don't have a doctor that can help her. >> reporter: they took the back roads to try to avoid the fighting. they said they have suffered a loss. in the car behind them is a woman in mourning. >> translation: i've come from iraq to see a psychiatrist because my son died 21 days ago, a victim of the fighting. he died in dhuluiya, in a car bomb. the red crescent facility in imam receives some of the serious victims. it's hospitals like this where patient injured in fighting in countries like iraq get the attention they need. some of the injuries they see is burps on the skin -- burns on the skin and broken bones. medecins sans frontieres or doctors without borders are treating 230 people. patients are treated in an aid group facility in iraq, before being transported by air or road across the border. >> the health situation in iraq is good generally, but recently with the war, i am sure everything has been changed. in case of the need of any help or if we can do something for them, they can come to our hospital, and we can see if they are admitted or not. >> the norwegian refugee committee says 1.2 million iraqis have been displaced. >> we have been responding to the crisis in anbar. it's difficult to mobilize resources. knowing already there's a huge demand in the region. >> while there are people trying to help iraqis, the humanitarian situation is not getting better. the u.n. refugee agency says it's only received 8% of the funding it needs. meanwhile people are looking for a way out of the difficulties they are in. >> turning our attention to syria - dozens were wounded when a car bomb went off in a crowded market. amateur video shows buildings on fire and rubble over the roads. activists say a blast happens in dew mar, a suburb of damascus. many were shopping for the month-long observance of ramadan. rival groups had fought in that area. rival rockets caused a fast-moving fire. it followed air strikes killing two palestinianians. palestinian officials said after the rocket attack israeli tanks fired into the northern part of the coastal strip. in ukraine pro-russian separatists released a second team. international observers. the four were released. the ukranian president petro porashenko announced a 3-day ceasefire. petro porashenko intends to hold a second round of diplomacy with russian president. for more on the situation in ukraine we turn to paul brennan in donetsk. >> it was in the originally hours of friday morning that the monitors were released into the safety of their colleagues. these guys had been detained in donetsk by separatist militia for more than a month. less than 48 hours later, in quick succession, we have the separate batch of four o.s.c.e. monitors returning to their colleagues. it was with relief that the deputy special monitor welcomed them to safety. >> we welcome the return of our loft four monitoring team-mates after a month away. we request friends and colleagues in the press to allow them peace, quiet and time with families that they need and deserve. many outside of the mission, and inside, worked tirelessly to secure their release, and we take the opportunity to publicly thank them. >> the detention of o.s.c.e. monitors constrained the operations of the mission in ukraine at a time when a flow of objective information has never been more important. particularly while consultations continue. we consider the continued work of the mission essential. >> reporter: the difficulty in monitoring the two ceasefires emphasis the importants of the o.s.c.e.'s work, and it was touched on in a prepared statement. what we had on saturday, for example, is from the government side reports of three separate attacks on government troops resulting, according to the government, in four deaths and 14 wounded. we spoke to separatist side and they denied any incident had taken place. it's that lack of independent verification of the status of the cease fires much it makes it difficult to know who to blame and how best to maintain a peace process in this part of the world. clearly the o.s.c.e.'s work is parramatta. they want to continue -- important. they want to continue their work. to monitor of the ceasefire, border areas and the humanitarian corridors proposed, it, itself, needs a degree of security. hopefully the release of the eight monitors in total means that the attention can turn to the o.s.c.e.'s future work, without the encumbrance of the hostage negotiations which have been going on in parallel. it is important and crucial to the future of this region. undocumented children from central america flood the u.s. border. u.s. congressman of texas and the honduran first lady visited facilities, a place that houses unaccompanied immigrant minors. the first lady's trip is timed to the surge from her country, honduras. more than 15,000 minors have been taken into custody from honduras. the first lady has been touring shelters since thursday. >> translation: like a mother would say, it breaks my heart to see the children, their face, the sad possess, the face of many mothers, this is something that shouldn't happen. we think if we make an effort we'll be able to improve the situation. we all need to work together. >> many of the immigrants cited gang violence and lack of job opportunities in the country was a reason for coming to the u.s. customs border protection facilities is overflowing. some groups say the conditions at those facilities are inhumane. one woman is suing over her treatment. >> reporter: maria said she was traumatised by two weeks in federal detention center in texas, 2013. >> i thought i was going to die. i was desperate, very desperate. i needed help and no one would help me. >> reporter: the 26-year-old undocumented immigrant is afraid to show her face on camera, but wants people to be held accountable. she's suing customs and border application. >> translation: my life is not the same. i have horrendous memories. >> reporter: she said she wore the blood-soaked clothes after agents refused to provide feminine hygiene products and a change of clothing. >> i felt embarrassed. no one deserves that treatment. >> reporter: maria said there was not enough food and water, it was so cold she had to huddle with others to stay warm. she has a heart condition, diabetes, hypertension and depression and was not allowed to access her medicine, and ages denied her proper medical treatment, even when she passed out. finally she signed papers to be deported after agents threatened her with imprisonment. in addition to maria's lawsuit eight complaints have been filed against c bp. >> we treat our animals better. >> reporter: we asked c bp to address the allegations and tell us policies regarding conditions at detention facilities. a spokesman would only direct us to this comment saying the complaints will be investigated. >> i demonstrated my commitment to not only those investigations and transparency, but let me make a significant point. in my multiple trips with the border patrol agents, i watch them do absolutely heroic efforts. a c bb official who did not want to be named said the holding cells are kept at 70 to 75 degrees, people are fed every six hours, and san tary products and blankets are provided upon request. there's no showers or bedding because the goal is to move immigrants out within 12-18 hours. with a crisis at the border, that may be possible. >> c bp fails to enforce its own policies. >> there's a culture of impunity that encourages bad behaviour. >> they don't have the right to treat people this way. someone has to put a stop to the situation. >> maria is seeking asylum and hoping to bring her so-year-old daughter -- 10-year-old daughter to the u.s. it's been a busy week for the supreme court, from air quality and airwaves. we look at the rulings, and cases they are deciding. a catholic priest found guilty of abuse of young boys, and the punishment meted out. and also the world cup. welcome back. time to take a deeper look at some of the supreme court's recent decisions. last week we told you about some of the most important rulings the court was expected to make. tonight we talk about them. in national labour relations bored v canning. the president can't make recess appointments if the senate says it's this session, even if it lasts a minute or too too. >> in the mcculloch cost. a law struck down in relation to buffer zones. >> in o'reilly versus california, the justices placed limits on the ability to search cell phones without a warrant by police, saying smartphones are not in the same category as wallets. let's bring in a criminal defense attorney. and garrett eps, a law professor at the university of baltimore. he joined us when we previewed the rules of the supreme court. let's start with you - were you surprised by any the rulings. >> i was surprised by the tone. i think what is striking is the extent to which chief justice roberts managed to get. they are not all in the same pew, but they are in the same church. the top of the results in a number of those cases even though the reasoning was split. it's a different atmosphere than the court. >> we'll talk about the harmony of the court. the supreme court ruled that the president exceeded his authority in the national relations board versus noel canning. >> i think all bets are off when it's a highly pollitt sized case. i can't say the result was surprising in any way. to a degree there was a surprise, it was that all of the justices lined up against the president. and naturally justice scalia took the most extreme position against him given his reading of the appointment clause and other conditions. it was an expected ruling. >> it will not have an impact but will with a shift of power. >> if the senate changes hands in the fall, a lot of these questions will become very relevant. right now it's not that important because after the recess appointments at stake, the senate changed the rules so you can't filibuster. the issue is still there, what is striking is that the court made only a very maul -- small cut in the research power. justice scalia basically - he said in his opinion, this power is an anachronism, we should get rid of it. and the court refused to do that. it was a moderate result, and not surprising for anyone that saw the argument. none of the justices thought that the administration had a good argument. >> beyond the president and his authority, what does this mean? >> as i understand it three nominees have been properly confirmed by the senate, and this is by no means my principal area of practice, but i understand hundreds of rulings are in jeopardy. they could come out in a more lipperal -- liberal way than the nominees submarined by the rules. i want to talk about mcculloch versus copley. it was ruled that things went too far. >> it was app 9-0 result. five justices said, basically, 35 foot buffer zones on the sidewalk restricting everywhere from passing by from speaking, interacting is too much. but what is striking is what they didn't do. they didn't overturn the earlier precedent that said states could have buffer laws. that was five justices on that opinion. four justices, headed by justice scalia wanted to make a radical change, saying any law was a violation of the freedom of speech, which would have been a huge change in the law, and they fell one vote short. >> do they give a number on how far is too far? >> no, they don't. there's a lot of debate in the community now about whether this opinion can be used to tackle some of these state law, and whether they are safe. the chief justice wrote - plays his cards close to the chest in his opinion for the majority. so. >> will this affect other buffer zones and states? >> it could. the key take away from the case is the vital distinction between expressive activity, which is constitutionally permissible and obstructing on the other. the court pointed to a federal statute for how to enact the law. the federal access to clinics acts. if states modelled the legislature on that model, it would likely be sustained. >> you bring up a point, was it about free speech or patient safety? >> well, it's totally about free speech, these are not conventional protesters, these are people going up to people seeking apportion services and -- abortion services and supposedly peacefully speaking to them, trying to educate other alternatives. it pitted free expression on the one hand versus abortion rights on the other. free expression trumped. >> utility air versus e.p.a., is this a victory for the e.p.a.? >> this is the 83/86 case. just scalia said the e.p.a. sought to regulate 86% of the sources of greenhouse gases in the county and the court's decision give them the authority to regulate 83%. it is seep as a victory -- seen as a victory for the epa. they didn't lose most of what they were asking for. there's troubling language in the opinion that leads some to believe we'll be back here when the epa issues regulations because the court sud they'll take a close look at the regulations. some said the test set up will be impossible for any legislation to pass. one of the major cases pending is harris v equip. diane eastabrook spoke to pamela harris who sued the governor of illinois. >> a medicaid programme pays pamela to take care of her developmentally disabled son at home. that makes her a state workers under illinois law and eligible for union representation. she wants no part of organised labour. >> they are over stepping. you don't belong in a house, a home, intruding into a family. you don't belong interfering in the care of an individual with disabilities. >> in a case that's wound its way to the u.s. supreme court, harris sued illinois governor pat quinn over an executive order, calling her a state employees, and requiring her to pay fees to a union she didn't want to join. paul kerrsy from the illinois policy institute thinks harris' suit is compelling. >> if the union calls a strike, she's not going to leave josh alone. so the union model for who she is and what she does doesn't fit. >> home health care is one of the few industries public employment has been successful in organising. the supreme court's decision affects not only the workers in illinois, but other states as well. if the court rules those workers can't be considered state employees, the service employees international union could lose thousands of members and millions of dollars. union spokesman argues unionizing workers helps to get higher wages and improve the industry. >> the things we have done help to stablilize the workforce and raise standards across the board for the kaur that is delivered to -- care that is delivered to people with disabilities. >> reporter: flora johnson receives medicaid to care for her son. she is a union member and said the money she gets doubled to $5 an hour to under $12. before the union johnson felt she was powerless against the medicaid hour. >> they could say we'll pay you $2 an hour or $1. >> reporter: pamela doesn't want them to tell her how to care for josh or taking dues that could be spend on josh's care. harris v quinn - how do you see it playing out? >> the stalks in this case are very, very high. it's important to make sure the record is clear. this is not a case about requiring union dues. this isn't a case in which the union wants to dictate how care is carried out. it's a cause in which the union performs a service for home health care to negotiate job conditions, and they don't require a member to join the union, they ask forrar fair-share fee to pay for the cost of a grievance procedure and negotiating the contracts. there are some companies of home health care workers that are unique, but it is quite clear, and clear in the briefs and oral argument that the national right to work federation, which is behind this case, is trying to do away with unionization in the public sector period, that they are hoping to get the court to rule that public employee unions requiring fees from their members violates the first amendment, and basically they said we'll be back to challenge more contracts if you give us what you want. this could be a very highly poll it sized decision. it will probably be five to four, one way or the other. if it goes against the young yn, it will be seen as the republican majority targetting a key part. democratic base. i want to talk about police ability and the right to search a cell phone, and another case awaiting a decision, sebiliusv hobby lobby, and is being heard with other cases, considering whether for-profit companies have freedom of religious rights. this one will be decided tomorrow, correct? >> yes. no, no, monday. >> i'm thinking it's sunday on "the week ahead." how do you see this playing out? >> this is unpredictable. if you put money down you'd bet there would be a victory for hobby lobby, but how broad will it be. there's hints that the argument of the chief justice was atup to the needs of -- attune to the needs of corporation and interest, that he wanted to decide only that whommy family opened companies might be able to use freedom restoration act to claim exemptions. what is striking is the big corporate interests and their groups that litigate, like the u.s. chamber of commerce have not come in on the side of hobby lobby. if the court were to decide that for profit corporations can have a religion, then all of a sudden companies like wal-mart will be upped a lot of -- under a lot of pressure from customers saying "we are a christian company", and at the same time they are trying to open stores in china, and abu dhabi and so forth. if the court wants to hold for hobby lobby and others, they have to walk a narrow path to avoid making the situation worse. >> there are 40-plus similar cases, i want to talk about riley versus california. police ability to search the cell phone. >> it's the most significant decision on police procedure in the digital age in the last decade. revolutionary - we don't know. implications or other forms of technology is broad, but the holding is narrow, requiring police to get a warrant before conducting the search of an arrested suspect's cell phone. it's a relatively easy proposition to get a warrant. it says they capt do it automatically. it recognises categorically that duj tall devices don't have a physical analogue in the real world and are entitled to greater protection because of the quantity and quality of the information stored. >> were you surprised by the decision. >> maybe by the fact that it was 9-0. it was an endorsement. the fact that it's written by the chief justice, i should say, with all nine behind him gives it added left. >> and aerio verses broadcasters. it's a vic tri for the broadcasting companies. >> i assume that aereo will have to make a licencing agreement with the broadcast companies, and as of 11:30, the company said it was suspending operations to consumers. as far as the largest implications, those are hard to see. in the technological area the court, by necessity, is kind of like harry truman's goonie bird that flies backwards, and can only see where it's been, not where it's going. by the time they finish grappling with all the implications of aerio, we'll be on to something else anyway. it decided only one issue in a multi-issue lawsuit. it's not clear how broad the im reply occasions will be. >> what does it mean for now forms of digital media. >> it signals that the court will not get into the weeds of the minutiae of how technology works and will function on its effect. if it smells like cable tv, it is cable tv, and it will be regulated in the assume way. it's funny, in the cell phone case robert spoke with much more proficient si about the nuances of cell phones, because maybe they are more pref leapt. in the aerio case he swept over distinctions between cable tv and what aereo was providing and a reason why scolyas blasted the majority harmony in the high court - we saw a united high court. >> the chief justice said he wanted to foster a culture when unanimous decisions were the norm and the group were in it together. this is the first time in a long time where it seems this would have effect. this parliamentary is dominant. he wrote a number of these major opinions, and a number of them are 9-0 in result. idea: icily the court -- idea logically the court is split and you. there are issues to be thought about, but the top in the court, by and large, and the atmosphere in the courtroom is different to the last few terms of tension and feuds. by and large they seem to be getting along. i find it surprising. >> is it the strong leadership of justice roberts. >> i have to respectfully disagree with my colleague. i think the appearance of uniian imenty is a function of them taking less politicized cases. i suspect in hobby lobby op monday there'll be explosive partisan divide along the 5-4 lines as they revisit two controversial decisions the citizens united decision and the obamacare decision. what you see is in the last couple of years, with the political footballs that are the anomalies, that's why you see divides. >> like political football. quick, if you want to april this, mr eps. this is the time of year, do you think we'll here of announcements, retirements? >> no. >> we'll have to leave it there. thank you gentlemen. appreciate your time on a deeper look. >> still ahead on al jazeera america. a former vatican ambassador found guilty by the church of abusing boys. the rare public shaming of a church official ahead. >> al jazeera america presents the system with joe berlinger >> new york city has stop and frisk >> some say these laws help serve and protect... >> we created the atmosphere that the policeman's the bad guy... >> others say these tactics are racist >> discrimination is wrong >> 99 percent of those arrested in drug free school zones... we're not near a school at all! >> are they working? >> this time i'm gonna fight it. >> the system with joe burlinger only on al jazeera america the first high-ranking official is being removed from the church. jozef wesolowski will be defrocked, accused of abusing young boys. >> reporter: he's been defrocked and shamed in a public way. jozef wesolowski, the vatican's former ambassador to the dominican republic found guilty by the church itself of abusing boys. the authorities on the caribbean island where the alleged abuse took place opened an investigation. >> translation: in my meeting with his holiness he opened the meeting talking about the subject and reassured me the vatican would not be at peace until they got the maximum penalty. if they had of expelled him, that is the maximum penalty, expulsion from the priesthood and the church. for years the vatican has been accused of doing too little to protect abuse by its own clergy. earlier this year the yaugss called on the -- united nations called on the vatican to open up its files from the past. since being appointed pope francis apologised over clerical abuse, and gone further than predecessors. >> he makes an effort to demonstrators, saying there'll be zeer scro tolerances for people guilty of sexual abuse of minors or in general. he talks about the problems of police, and is taking a tough line on the status of clergy. he has two months to appeal, and could face a separate criminal trial and extradition to the dominic an republic. >> at home folks in the midwest are dealing with flooding. after severe rains flooded the mid west. people are continuing a clean-up and gearing up for more storms. on friday hundred of volunteers helped to fill 40,000 sandbags, to build bar yours and brace homes for future storms. rebecca stevenson joins us with a look at the forecast. they could lose a break. >> no, they'll have heavy rain and wind gusts, 40-50 miles per hour, as a line of thunder storms stretches from north to south across the mid portion of the country. we are seeing damage reports coming in with the yellow around chicago, and rain fall in the storms. we look at where the massive flooding has been occurring in the mississippi river. we watched rain tall totals when you add up the month of june and see the minneapolis twin cities above the normal. you have had 11 inches of rainfall. other places like omaha, 6 inches above normal, and to chicago, with two inches of rain, it's been a wet month, and here is the next round. severe storms are beginning to diminish as we get towards sunset, we'll see the storms falling apart. they are bringing powerful gusts and rain tracking to st. louis. then we get to tomorrow, which brings us a higher risk of the severe weather. the heavy rain and the powerful wind gusts - wind gusts the problem we have been having across arkansas, all the way to andrej meszaros and minister -- missouri and minnesota. we had two injuries at a camp ground in arkansas. it's moving so fast. 40 to 50 miles per hour. you look at the wind gusts. billings you can see with gusts. wind gusts continuing as low pressure tracks across the canadian border. we'll continue from north dakota to minnesota. powerful gusts in the next day. sunday the highest risk of the storms will be centralized around chicago, down to iowa. the same places that don't want to see rain fall this month alone. >> we'll pay close attention to the watches and warnings. >> straight ahead on al jazeera america. american college grads lagging behind. the troubling statistics about a college education in the u.s. we're following a developing story - north korea fired two short-range missiles in the sea. the missiles were fired and are believed to be short-range skud missiles. north korea tests missiles and artillery. officials expressed anger with south korean tests near a disputed boundary near the yellow sea. the college rankings shows that u.s. is leading into the top 15, but when it comes to skills in the job market, u.s. is lagging behind. the united states is ranked at number 14, and thousands of college students are dropping out because they no longer see it as a worthwhile investment, patty culhane reports. >> reporter: it's the time of year when massive halls fill with student, black gowns and occasional confettconfetti. the energy of excitement that is college graduation. 7,000-plus graduates paint a figure until you realise how many students they started with that didn't make it to this day. according to a harvard study, the u.s. has the highest challenge dropout rate in the industrialized world. 44% of students who enrol in ha 4-year college do not graduate. people like this woman who dropped out because she couldn't afford it. >> i think the cost is - it's expensive, but if we could - if people knew they'd come out and make the money back, it's like now you don't. >> now she works as a make-up artist, and each week she struggles to pay the $20,000 in student loans that she owes. in the u.s. there's not a large amount of loan debt. the average cost for one year of college ranges from 23,000 to about 45,000. >> college costs have risen over 20-25 years. in the last five years, we see tuition and fees go up. in arizona fees have gone up 77% in the last five years. >> that means graduates like amappeda in maryland had to take on more debt than any other generation. and she struggled to get to her energying degree. >> i had two or three jobs, and financial aid, and i have loans which i'll start paying back starting december. >> reporter: working that much, she still owes $55 thous. hers is a common story, with smiling proud parents who can't seem to take enough pictures. that's what many will take away - memories, a diploma and a mountain of debt. al jazeera america's original series "the system" explores controversial cases within the criminal justice system and looks at proactive policing strategies which critics say causes more harm than good. here is a sneak peak. >> here in new york city heading to the bronx to meet michael torres arrested for criminal possession of a small amount of marijuana. the reason this is important is that he is one of about 50,000 people who were arrested that year on similar marijuana storms under a policing strategy known as stop and frisk. in new york police have been stopping and frixing suspects for -- frisking suspects for as long as tlches a mrs. -- there was a police force. in the '90s, giuliani made it a part of the police strategy. >> we allowed small things to get worse. >> stop, question and frisk is an application of a broken theory, a strategy arguing if a police fours cuts down on
