they are holding daily demonstrations to demand that darren wilson is charged for michael brown's death. they are upset that evidence in the case may not be released to the public. they are praying for peace regardless of the decision. crime in predominantly black communities became the focus of a heated debate on "meet the press" between former new york city mayor rudy giuliani and thomas eric dyson. >> 93% of blacks -- >> let me respond to than. >> i'd like to see the attention paid to that that you are paying to this. >> he's taking up time. first of all, most black people who commit crimes against other black people go to jail. they are not sworn as an agent of the state to uphold the law. >> what about a poor black child -- >> i protest it. i'm a minister. they go to jail. talk about the way white policemen undercut the ability of americans to live. >> so many white police officers have to be in the black areas. >> occupying those force. >> how about 70 to 75% of the city -- >> i think this is a debate -- >> you reduced crime. >> this is a debate -- >> mayor, i'll do that. >> let's not make this -- >> police officers won't be there if you weren't killing each other. >> white supremacy at work in your mind. >> on a different note, president obama doesn't expect to get the call to campaign for hillary clinton should she run in 2016. calling our friend, she likely would like to put distance between her campaign and his presidency. >> she's not going to agree with me on everything. and, you know, one of the benefits of running for president is you can stake out your own positions. and have a clean slate, a fresh start. when you have been president for six years, you know, you have some dings. and -- >> you don't mind observing a few more. if that's what it takes. >> i think the american people, they're going to want that new car smell. they want to drive something off the lot that -- that doesn't have as much mileage as me. >> the new car smell. this brings us to the twitter question for you this morning. is president obama right? do you think the democratic candidate in 2016 will need to distance him or herself from the president? tweet us the most creative answers. @way too early. it's like the president and secretary clinton have it worked out ahead of time. don't worry, you can make fun of me and tell me to go away. anyw anyway. tweet the best thoughts. on the cosby note, more women have come forward to accuse him of sexual assault. a former person said he helped cosby pay thousands of dollars to eight different women. >> reporter: the latest allegation from bull cosby comes from a former nbc entertainment employee, 90-year-old mike scottie, saying he would invite models into the dressing room as he watched the door. >> gave me the information of the owner of the modeling agency. any time she called, do whatever she wants. reserve the seats and bring her back into the dressing room. >> reporter: he says he never witnessed what happened behind closed doors. cosby asked him to send money to some women, up to $2,000 a month in money orders. >> made me suspicious. i didn't know what it was for. why? they could have been friends. >> reporter: telling nbc news, how would he know if she was a model or a secretary. it appears that his story is pure speculation so he can get his 15 minutes of fame. scottie told nbc news he's not seeking attention, but decided to speak out after hearing from recent accusers. 15 have been made publicly. he's never been charged with any crimes and denied allegations in the past. >> he put a pill down and said here, take this. this will make you feel better. >> reporter: former playboy play mate victoria valentino said she was drugged and sexually assaulted 44 years ago. >> the last thing you want is to have your name associated for the rest of your life with a person like this that has demeaned and degraded you. it's mortifying. >> reporter: cosby's camp said it's completely illogical that so many people would have said and done nothing and not made reports to law enforcement. he had two standing ovations in florida. but at least seven future performances have been dancedled or postponed as more allegations continue to surface. we move on to foreign policy and a deal with iran over nuclear talks seems unlikely to occur before the deadline this evening. but the u.s. and other powers are asking for an extension. secretary of state john kerry back answer extension, and china has joined the fray. and on the table, getting tehran to scale back the nuclear program, and in exchange, easing crippling sanctions. and back in the u.s., all fraternity and sorority activities at the university of virginia have been canceled until january after a rolling stone article. in the article, a female student accuses an elite fraternity of subjecting her to gang rape during an alcohol and drug-fueled party in 2012. the student has not niled charges. but there's a culture in students to administers who did not aggressively seek to punish the alleged offenders. students and professors prote protested on campus. but the university's president, named in the article, say that they are in need of change. >> i don't care about the reputation, as long as we have safe. >> you ban the activities for the semester, i don't think it will work for the future. >> i think the mind set of our community needs to change. clearly something is not working. something is not right. people are getting hurt over and over again. that has to stop. >> i think what i first read the article, i was sick to my stomach. get to the bottom of whatever this is and make this a better place. >> so the school's president is asking local police to investigate. uva is among 55 schools in a federal title 9 compliance review. they are voluntarily suspending activities until the investigation is complete. it's drawn condemnation from professors and alalumny. and even lisa jacob said i cannot bear to look at my diploma from an institution that chooses to protects it reputation over its students. i will sacrifice what's special to me in order for the great good. i will burn the only thing i have been proud of. she's catching a lot of attention on social media, what she's written about burning the diploma. switch gears, business news, russian officials say the country is suffering losses of $40 billion because of western sanctions, and the oil prices. the losses will be significant. but now we know how the numbers are adding up, what it means for russia and overall the world economy. >> yeah, a lot of pressure on the russian economy. it's flat lining. the gentleman who made the comments is a man i met on several occasions. he's a straight up guy. quite conservative in terms of economic policy. it's the oil price that's biting twice as much as the sanctions. oil price fallen around 30% since june. good for consumers and drivers of cars in the united states. all kinds of products. but for the producers themselves, it's bad. they're not getting the investment going forward. not going to get the investment in shale as well. so hopes of a u.s. energy boom, long-term independence, perhaps in doubt by the lower prices and outlined by the russian economy. spent a lot of money supporting the ruble. their currently. the ruble is down about 30% versus the greenback in 2014. optimism among companies is at a very low level according to a survey by market. looking at 6100 companies. in the u.s. as well, optimism at the lowest level since 2009. they're worried about the economic climate on a global basis, the you're row zone again. and in the united states, and global areas such as ukraine and the middle east. the concerns are there. and corporations are worried that we have seen the best growth in the u.s. specially. >> talk about this story about l.a. hotel workers and their sal rays going up, $15.37, minimum wage set to receive coming up in the new year. >> it's an enormous debate going on about higher wages. one thing we have seen, and this jobs recovery in the u.s., we have below 6% unemployment rate. we haven't seen average earnings rallying. that's different from previous recoveries. many employers are saying if we put wages up, employee less people. others are saying if you put the wages up, and the president is behind a higher federal web pmi wage, and hasn't got it yet, if you put them up, more people are able to consume and buy more products. and as such, employee more people. you have the two very different views. more jobs are going to be lost if we have higher wages and on the other side, no, the economic benefits are absolutely in the billions. >> you would think, though, at that rate, even, it's just a living wage when you think about what these people are currently making and how far a dollar goes, or how little a dollar goes these days. great to see you, sir. thanks. appreciate it. sad
