we don't know. but it's going to be interesting to see how it shakes out. one of the things we know is we all get water and it doesn't cost that much and we all get power and it doesn't cost that much. hopefully, the internet will be similar. >> this may not be the end of the debate. after all, industry opponents have called this inappropriate. the government and dangerous -- government overreach. this could possibly and probable trigger more lawsuits to delay the issue further. >> certainly plenty of reasons to watch in silicon valley especially. thanks. >> we often speak of net neutrality. now meet the guy who coined the term. he's a professor at columbia university. he first used the term in an academic paper. he writes in the new yorker that he supports the fcc's move. now, our scott budman is digging deeper on the story. he'll is a live report tonight at 5:00 and 6:00. >> now new details on the masked man dubbed jihadi john. u.s. officials confirmed the name of the isis terrorist who beheaded hostages. and with the name comes more details on who he is. kooer sim keir simmons has more. >> u.s. officials have confirmed that a london man, muhammad muwassy is the person known as jihadi john in the isis videos. a number of officials have refused to give guidance, but they have not dismissed the reports out of hand. nbc confirmed british officials believed he had been identified and the fbi director confirmed u.s. officials have identified him. sources tell us he's of somali origin and known to have lived in london. he's responsible for the execution of americans james foley and stephen sotloff. each killing has been the subject of a well publicized and slickly made video, usually featuring the victims dressed in orange jump suits while their killer brandished a knife and beerates the west. the concern is for those still held by isis even while the reporting is emerging, isis is attacking christian villages in northern syria. 33 villages have been targeted according to a local group of syrians who live there, and as of this morning, one monitoring group said a total of 220 christians have been taken hostage by isis just in recent days. back to you. >> that was keir simmons reporting. new at 11:00, crews worked quickly to put out a house fire in san jose this morning. started just after 7:00 on 18th street near olinder elementerary school. crews found smoke coming from the back of a duplex. they shut off the electy and put the flames out in 30 minutes. no one was hurt. >> a man is dead a woman critically hurt after a reporting fight in a quiet east bay neighborhood. officers responded to a 911 call about two men fighting at a home in irkulous yesterday. they found the trail of blood going from the driveway into the house, and inside they found a woman hurt and a man dead. the suspect was arrested blocks away. police are still trying to figure out how it all fits together. this is the first killing in hercules in two years. >> in the north bay, three men are under arrest accused of holding a woman captive for almost two months. you might remember the story from last week. 22-year-old victim said she was kidnapped at gun point and taken to a rural santa rosa home. she says her captors beat her and sex wal assaulted her until she escaped. this shows the suspects being taken away by officers. police say the woman is now safe and recovering. >> five east bay students are recovering after apparently popping pills at school. paramedics rushed the girls to a nearby hospital yesterday morning. the girls are expected to survive. no word on what kind of pills they took. >> this morning, bay area congresswoman jakye y jackie speier unveiled her plan to stop children from getting their hands on to laundry detergent and dishwasher detergent pods. children mistake them for toys because they're colorful and bite size. if passed the packages would have to be changed in 18 months. >> new details on an uber ride that was just too much for one south bay man to stomach. he paid $450 for a 12-mile ride. >> how's that for surge pricing? stephanie chuang is live in san francisco. another customer frustrated by uber's controversial surge pricing plan steph. >> that's right. good morning. we heard about the issue of surge pricing from time to time. whether it's the surge pricing on the east coast during weather emergencies to the stories here at home. one lawmaker the same one behind the first state-wide ban of handheld cell phone use while driving has another focus, and his focus is on banning surge pricing all together and he's hoping that will spread across the country. rafael hernandez knew the surge pricing would make uber expensive, more than the $23 to get to the sharks game but he wasn't prepared for the $37 a mile ride back. >> i agree today the surge price. the problem was the ride itself should have been like $30 times four doesn't add up to $1252. >> in a companystatement, the company said it allows riders a safe reliable option to ride around time. surge pricing makes it possible even in times of high demand. >> one lawmaker has set his sights on banning surge pricing all together. new york assembly man said his legislation would also find violators who practice surge pricing to $250 every time. he said there's not enough transparency when it comes to what passengers will pay at the end of the ride. >> this is about certainness to consumers that they should know exactly what they're paying for. >> that seems crazy. >> this man was shocked by the story of the $450 bill. he just started using lyft. he recounts a recent ride taken by his girlfriend. just a couple miles amounted to $40. >> i'm guessing it told her that before but she definitely was really surprised. maybe there's not like a clear -- >> sign. >> sign. >> there should be a balance here. allow the uber and lyft as well as the drivers to make money but set some boundaries. >> they might need to do a little surge pricing because of just like it's traffic hour and it costs more gas and more time. but i do think it would be great if there was like some sort of block off of you can only adjust it a certain amount. >> i heard from a lyft spokesperson in the hour who says that the company has a cap. 200% on primetime, what they call dynamic pricing and the rider has to agree to that before the ride is accepted. as for uber, i just heard from a spokesperson a few minutes ago and she says there's no official policy really no comment on a cap for surge pricing, although uber's policy does require riders if it's double the surge pricing, you have to actually enter the multiplier into your phone, and that's supposed to let you know how much more you're going to pay. a lot of numbers involved here. live in san francisco, stefphanie chuang chuang. >> remember when you just watched the meter?

>> it certainly is a victory for the employees. here it is in black and white. the first step in the policy now states in an emergency, anyone can call 911. it sounds so simple and obvious, but employees tell us for years the old rules led to serious delays in medical treatment. >> he worked there for 28 years. everybody loved him. >> in august, coworkers found postal worker sam accostosta lying on his back with blood coming from his mouth and ears. down from an apparent head injury. his wife marnie. >> it's so sad because i can imagine him fighting for his life. >> we have an employee bleeding from the mouth. >> no one saw what happened to sam. but coworkers reported finding him lying on the floor, bleeding and unconscious some time between 3:00 and 3:30 a.m. but his records show 911 dispatch didn't receive a call until 3:53. >> an hour wasted. >> according to an internal postal service investigation, instead of calling 911 immediately, employees first called their supersizevisors who called additional managers. they eventually called the on-site police who then called 911. why? because they were following the policy at the oakland postal facility, a policy that said only postal police are to initiate the 911 preernl. how long will it take to find out whether the policy will change? >> well, i can tell grow we'll bree addressing that tomorrow. >> the postal service made good on its promise. in october, we asked the communicational director why employee were instructed not to call 911. by december postal leaders at the oakland facility reissued the medical emergency policy. the first line now reads, in an emergency, anyone should immediately call 911. and last month they formally adopted it. the u.s. p.s. declined our repeated request for an interview to discuss the new policy, but told us the gravity of the concerns raised in our report prompted the change. >> heartbreaking. but because of it something good happened. >> andrew is a mail processing clerk and a shop steward for the american postal workers union. >> postal workers are dedicated people. they want to serve the public. they will step up and do more. sometimes it's to the detriment of their own health, because they care that much about what they do. >> he believes the new policy will save lives but says postal leaders have been slow in informing the 2,000 workers affected by it. >> i have asked several people at work whether or not they have gotten information from their supervisor. some have and most have not. i would like to see every employee be given the information that the policy has been updated. i would also like to see actual real training, dealing with potential scenarios that may happen on the work floor and how do we respond. >> sadly, the changes come too late for sam. his wife of 25 years is now a widow. >> his loss is felt deeply in the post office. with all his coworkers. >> paramedics responded just seven minutes after the first call. no one could say if sam would have lived had workers called 911 sooner but he did not wake up from his coma. for his family comfort comes from knowing they fought and it made a difference. >> hopefully it will never happen to anyone ever again. >> he must be saying you're doing the right thing. >> while there is a new policy at this facility in oakland, the national usps continues to decline our request for comment about changes at the national level. that policy still instructs employees to call their health services office or security first. scott and kris. they say it to limit confusion and help direct the paramedics. >> if folks feel like they need to call 911, they should be allowed to call and deal with the confusion later. >> they should. as you hear the employees say this is a common sense solution why weren't people calling 911 on their own? you have to understand the culture of the usps and a very top down organization. we talked to dozens of employees who say when the rules say in black and white only the postal police are the call, and my supervisors are saying i have to foot the bill if i call which is false, but if you get that year after year decade after decade, when an emergency happens, you feel like you're beholden to the rules. >> i don't thing you have to work at the usps to understand the rules, we know they follow the rules. >> i know this story is not about you, but in this case you have changed something out there that is going to change the way that people respond. it's got to feel good. >> it does and for the family our deepest gratitude to them because this is a horrible tragedy. but because marnie was so gracious and trusting us to tell her story and speak up and say this is wrong, and i never want another family to go through what we did, we really credit her and the many many employees who were brave enough to speak out and say this isn't right. please make a change. >> vicky, thank you. if you have a tip for our investigative unit vicky or the rest of the crew, give us a call. or send an e-mail to theunit@nbcbayarea.com. >> less than 48 hours from a homeland security shutdown the secretary of the agency said he's started identifying who gets furloughed. >> there's movement on capitol hill, but will it happen in time? to get the from tracie potts. >> analysts fear the arrest of two isis bound americans in new york may not happen next time. >> eventually there will be some other type of attack. you can't stop everything. >> this is not the time to engage in activities that would threaten our counterterrorism capabilities. >> house republicans will only fund homeland security if president obama drops his bid to allow 5 million undocumented immigrants to avoid deportation. >> american citizens first, not illegal aliens first. >> republicans who ran homeland security agree but say withholding the money amid an isis threat is dangerous. >> the solution they seek in my judgment is unfortunate. from a policy point of view it's wrong. it's folly. >> we cannot afford to be distracting manyen men and women on the front line of our home security. >> president obama vowed more immigration reform even with congress, as he put it holding homeland security hostage. >> the republican party has been pretty stubborn about this issue. if they start feeling enough pressure, that can make a difference. >> i'm trying to make sense out of all this. to me it's insane. >> i'm waiting for the senate to act. >> senate democrats now say they will support a clean bill that does not deal with immigration, and they expect house republicans to do the same. >> this isn't the time for games. >> by games he's referring to any add-ons like immigration that can prevent this from getting to the president's desk by midnight tomorrowie potts, nbc news washington. >> for the first time publicly the daughter of robin williams is talking about how she's coping with his death. >> are the good days becoming more frequent that the bad days? >> it's never about frequency. the thing for me has been that -- because tlrhere's no predictability to anything. literally, life in general, but you can turn bad days around as well, so i have been focusing on that. when i have a day that i'm not feeling great, i try to go do something funny or fun or strange. >> robin williams of course took his own life inside his tiburon home last august. you can watch the full interview with zelda williams on the today show website. >> poor girl. >> a surprising new admission from the former police chief who led the investigation into jonbenet ramsey's death. you'll remember the former boulder, colorado, child was found murdered in her own home. the police chief now believes his officers mishandled that investigation. ramsey's body was found in the basement of her home in 1996. in an online chat beckner now says the case was mishandled because of confusion and a police staffing shortage. that case remains unsolved. >> a national concern is playing out on the cal campus. the issue is sexual assault. a two-day conference addressing how to stop sexual violence on college campuses ended last night with keynote speaker anita hill. back in 1991 hill testified against the then-supreme court justice nominee clarence thomas claiming he sexually harassed her. that brought the issue to the forefront. now cal is in the spotlight. the university is one of 90 colleges under investigation by the federal office for civil rights for its handling of sexual assault cases. >> we beefed up policy for survivors to give them more rights throughout the process, and that's just to name a few. >> berkeley has the never to call their conference beyond compliance as if they're some role model that everyone else should be emulating when they're not listening to stubt survivors. >> they say they will continue to address, create and implement more programs. >> this morning, san francisco state university finds itself labeled as the seventh most anti-semitic college in the country. the david horowitz freed center in los angeles ranked colleges on anti-jewish incidents and activities on campus. students organizations and school executives are reacting with disbelief. >> very deliberately to the campus and speak with students, staff, and faculty with issues related to discrimination and harassment. i have never heard complaints from students or faculty about the issue. >> we believe in free speech and people can express what they want. >> a couple other california universities are also on the list. ucla is number nine. san diego state is number six. at the top of the list is columbia university in new york city. >> well deputies in oregon are having a hard time explaining this one. they're investigating the disappearance of a house. >> oh, that?
