how low will they go. and wake-up call, a tiny nasa space probe gets ready to make history. ♪ we begin tonight with the bebait over cia interrogation techniques and the fear that a new report from the senate could spark a violent backlash over seas. the report is expected tomorrow. it is already causing controversy. it is expected to condemn the cia's brutal use of techniques after september 11th. tonight the u.s. military has put thousands of soldiers on alert. >> the president believes on principle it is important to release the report so people understand exactly what transpired. >> reporter: the report is the result of a $40 million investigation by the democratic-lead senate intelligence committee. the committee plans to release a declassified, 480-page summary. it is expected to reveal new details about the cia's use of torture on al-qaeda prisoners after 9/11. the so-called enhanced interrogation techniques included sleep deprivation, confinement in small places, and water boarding. anticipating the harsh reaction around the world, the white house says soldiers have been told to get ready. on friday secretary of state john kerry called california senator and intelligence committee chairwoman, diane feinstein to express concern over american personnel and intelligence officers abroad. some republicans say they are worried too. >> this is a terrible idea. so our foreign partners are telling us this will cause violence and deaths. >> reporter: human rights advocates disagree. >> some bad actors around the world decide to use this information, really it is because we engaged in torture in the first place, and not because we made the decision to let the american people and people around the world to have a full understanding. >> reporter: the president admitted in august that the u.s. has tortured people during the bush administration. over the weekend, george w. bush was asked about the report. >> these are patriots, and whatever the report says, if it diminishes their contributions to our country, it is way off base. >> reporter: sources say the review will also say the cia went beyond the law, lied to congress, the department of justice, and president bush, and exaggerated the value of information gained through torture. >> to say we relentlessly over expanded period of time, lied to everyone about a program that wasn't doing good, that beggars t imagination. >> reporter: but senator feinstein appeared determines telling "the los angeles times" former navy seal robert served in iraq as a mill stair advisor. welcome back. >> thanks for having me. >> reporter: how do you secure an embassy or compound? >> of course there's a natural arrangement in place at all times, because there is always a level of threat. the typical anti-terrorism tactics are based on level of expected threat. of course we can't go into any specific details, because that will be tipping the hand as to how to bypass those measures. but basically it's increasing the existing level of procedures and physical security. it's not -- i -- i don't want to over exaggeration the posture. i think this whole thing is being blown out of proportion by those who have fed -- well, there's political reasons behind everything, i think, in revealing reports. there's -- there's -- there's going to be a possibility of people being upset, and there will be rabble-rousers who take this to their advantage to say let's go get those americans who tortured our guys. but none of this is new. it will be probably pretty much the stuff discussed back in 2008. >> if the united states has been talking about the possibility of torture over time, and has talked about these interrogation techniques for years and years, what is new about this? what could be new that could be so up setting? >> basically -- i don't think there is going to be anything tremendously new in it. it was discussed, and looked at by our own justice department, and said is there anything in here to prosecute? and the conclusion was no. every method being discussed publicly has been used on people like me by america. it's part of the preparation to be facing captivity and enhandsed en -- interrogations. the rock music in our ears, and water spraying, and sleep deprivation is normally used. >> i guess the real question is whether or not there is a real threat to americans around the world as a result of this report tomorrow. >> yes, and it's a short-term thing. i think the -- the reason that we're hearing about it in the news that there may be some spin-up of hostilities and violence is because people will take advantage of it. it has been reported already. we know it is going to be coming out, and so do these jihadis. they are probably making their press kits now on how they will be reacting to this great ep pifny. it won't be new at all but it will be a chance to possibly beat up -- there was a video about a american sailor being roughed up by some turks. it's really a video of a couple of guys getting hurt by a few guys. these will be incidents of violence where they pop up, it will be spontaneous in most cases and then go away. >> robert, six former guantanamo bay prisoners are in uruguay tonight, and the president says they are free to leave. they spent time in the prison suspected of ties to al-qaeda, they were flown to uruguay sunday as a condition of their release. daniel reports. >> reporter: uruguay is so far from the six men's homes, but it's also a long way from guantanamo, and that for them is what counts. they are being treated at two hospitals before they resettlement program begins. >> he is hopeful now that he's out and free with proper medical care he can get better and rebuild his life. >> reporter: uruguay is providing the men with education and housing, and will help them to find work. for now they are just relieved to be free with a burning desire to be reunited with their families. their futures are uncertain, but the uruguayan authorities are doing all they can to help these men rebuild their lives a long way from home. the invitation was a personal one from the uruguayan president. a former prisoner himself. >> that is not a prison, it's a kidnapping den. because a prison has laws. that place has none of that. >> reporter: the camp opened in 2002 to detain so-called terror suspects in the wake of the september 11th attacks. according to the human rights group reprieve, the u.s. has acknowledged holding 779 people at the camp to date. most were never charged. six years after president obama pledged to close the facility there is still 136 inmates, 67 of whom are cleared for release. but the u.s. authorities say they can't send them home, because of security concerns. while their home countries are unwilling to take them back. >> when you talk to a prisoner in guantanamo about the future, they usually raise an eyebrow and say i have no future, but i'm happy to say that is what i'm here to talk to him about. >> reporter: when president obama signed the executive order to close the camp, many believed it would take months and not years, but the process has proved arduous. more detainees are expected to be relieved before the year is out. but it's the others that are deemed to be too dangerous to be get free that stand in the way of the closure of guantanamo. 13 years after 9/11, the u.s., and nato, the coalition officially ended the operation in afghanistan today. 2200 soldiers have been killed in what became america's longest war. we're learning more about the u.s.'s attempt to free a journalist held in yemen. >> reporter: the american journalist's life was in imminent danger. u.s. intelligence officials had learned he was being held outside of yemen friday night three dozen navy seals landed six miles from the site. on foot they made it within 100 yards of the compound, then something went wrong. some reports say a dog barked. a fire fight broke out as the captors shot their hostages. >> it was a very dangerous mission, but like always in these efforts there is risk. >> reporter: the seals flew the wounded postages to u.n. navy ship. this was the second time the u.s. had tried to rescue summers. on november 25th, members raided an al-qaeda highout, buddies covered that summers had been moved two days earlier. as a result of the failed mission, al-qaeda threatened to kill summers by the weekend. but with summers and his family pleading that his life was in danger, president obama authorized another mission. >> this time -- this time they were unable to -- to save luke. >> pierre's family was expecting a different outcome. the 56-year-old teacher and aide worker was kidnapped in 2013 along with his wife. his wife was freed in january. pierre was set to be released the morning after the failed raid. a south african charity had helped negotiate a $2,200,000 random. the u.s. said it did not know about the ransom and the plan to free pierre. a message on the charity's website reads: now family and friends are left to remember pierre and luke. >> luke is by far and away not the person this should have happened to. he was passionate, kind, thourtful person. >> reporter: randall pinkston, al jazeera. former navy seal robert joins me once again. robert are there more of these operations or are we just hearing about them, do you think? >> if it has been in the news already, then it is definitely going to be in the news again. however, the outcome may be. in the intelligence community, you can't broadcast some things. but anybody held publicly is going to be -- the world will find out whatever happens to them. >> the family is pushing the president to help him. to save him. they try one mission. they try another mission. there are u.s. soldiers, some nave i have seals probably at risk. what is an acceptable risk when these operations are -- are conceived? >> in the case of the bin laden raid, we're hearing the guys expected it to be a one-way mission. they themselves voted yes to put everything on the table. in my experience as a seal, i can tell you that this mission and probably every one is the same with the seals going in. your understanding -- we see a wall of honor, you know, seals that have fallen in the fight, and every single one said mom and dad, you know what -- i'm doing what i love. as i heard on the report you were talking a moment ago, the captors had said they are going to kill him. i'm glad you are exploring this, because a lot of folks outside of this network are saying they shouldn't have gone in, but what is the alternative. >> i was going to say they went in once, and they were unsuccessful, so they go in again, and they aren't successful. i guess the question is what is it worth? i mean is it worth the lives of these nave -- navy seals. and these are very, very tough questions obviously. >> sure. and they wouldn't take a mission on that is impossible. we have to give credit to the planners and authorities over the decision on whether to put guys in and how many to put in, and with what resources to put them in. they sent what was expected to be adequate resources in terms of manpower and equipment, and it didn't happen, the -- again, the -- the lead that was read there, maybe a dog barked, and -- an indication like that -- dogs throughout history have been the bane of sneaky forces. >> yeah, sadly enough. robert thank you very much. now to kenya where members of the police admit for the first time to systematically murdering people. the officers talked about a kenyan rebel program to kill respected rebels. >> reporter: this is one of 21 suspected radical muslims allegedly gunned down by kenya's police since 2012. he predicted his death when i met him last year. >> i'm the one who is being terrorized. my life is the one which is in danger. >> reporter: al jazeera's investigative unit has spoken exclusively to the hitmen involved in the killings. we verified that they were members of the counter terrorism yuans. and agreed to conceal their identities. >> reporter: britain and america have provided millions of dollars of counter terrorism training and equipment. and western security agencies know about the killings, because they provide some of the intelligence in police reports like these obtained by al jazeera. do you think the british know that you guys are eliminating t tar -- terrorist targets. the head of the international bar association says the interviews provide evidence that individuals from western governments are complicit in the killings and could face charges. >> if there are individuals that are found to be not just training, but are actually found have been directing supervising, targeting individuals that in turn would be targeted in a killing, then there is a criminal responsibility. >> reporter: the british foreign office says it was aware of the allegations, but rejected any involvement, while the kenyan police denied running an elimination program. coming up next on this brad cast the lowest gas prices in four years. what it could mean for the economy here and around the world. and the protests in brooklyn over the choke hold death of an unarmed black man. and the nine-year journey to the edge of the solar system, and what nasa's robotic probe could teach us. ♪ oil prices fell again today, and look gas prices with them, lower than they have been since 2010. ali velshi has more. >> yeah, john, oil prices fell to their lowest prices today in five and a half years. that signals good times to come for anybody filling up at the pump. gas prices have come down to their lowest level in four years. a little bit of a lag, so it might go down further, the national average has fallen a dollar drop since june. forecasters say it is bound to come down to about $2.50 a gallon by christmas. and possibly dip lower in the new year. one analysis says u.s. households will notice the savings in their energy bill. since june oil prices have fallen 41%. main culprit is oversupply and decreasing demand. in europe, the economies were already slowing down, and then the business with russia has slowed them down further. asia we have seen slower growth in india and china, at the same time america's frac-ing boom is adding to the oversupply of oil, maybe as much as a billion barrels a day more than the world needs. saudi arabia is the one party that can swing prices upward by cutting their output. but last week, even though other opec countries had begged for it, saudis said they would keep oil flowing at current levels for the foreseeable future. falling oil prices are still effecting people negatively here in the u.s. condo phillips announced plans to cut spending by 15%. it said it will hit america's unconventional place like frac-ing. oil extracted by frac-ing or deep sea drilling or from canada's oil sands all cost more to produce than if you just sunk a well in texas and oil shot out of the ground. all three methods depend on oil trading at higher prices. new drills will slow down or stop all together if prices keep falling. if oil prices continue to fall, john, oil producers like russia, iran, and venezuela will fair worse in 2015, but other companies will probably do much better. >> thank you. a top executive involved in bernie may dolph's $17.5 billion ponzi scheme is headed to prison. he was sentenced to ten years today. they were also ordered to forfeit $155 billion. the huge sum is considered symbolic. coming up next on this broadcast, new rules on racial profiling, but do they go far enough? plus -- i'm phil lavelle in paris where $60 million is about to be paid to victims of the nazi holocaust. but it may not happen straight away. and a cleveland's mother call for justice after police shot and killed her 12-year-old son. ♪ >> this is al jazeera america, i'm john siegenthaler. >> i can't breathe! i can't breathe! >> racial profiling, the justice department's new attempt to try to ease tension with police. speaking out, what the grieving mother of a 12-year-old killed by police wants to see happen next. what a new israeli parliament could mean for the future. and deep sleep, a nasa probe awakens the 3 million mile mission. protests are underway around the country for a sixth consecutive night. two unarmed african american men killed by police. two decisions not to indict white officers. protesters blocked traffic. caused major congestion. in brooklyn, new york tonight, hundreds of demonstrators outside of barclay center, live pictures there, where prince william and his wife kate are attending their first nba game. there was violence over the weekend in berkeley, california. the mayor says a handful of people are to blame. as the demonstrations continue there are big changes out of washington that could impact law enforcement nationwide. today the justice department expanded its ban on racial profiling by federal law officers. >> reporter: the new profiling protests come in outrang of three people killed. >> it undermines the public trusz ultimately, and makes unnot good at what we need to do. >> reporter: the bush administration barred profiling. the new rule is expanded to include national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender, or gender identity. the rules only cover federal law enforcement, and don't apply to local police unless they are part of the federal task force. and there are exclusions. the tsa can still use profiling another airports. and an fbi program that collects information on the race andets anity of neighborhoods called mapping can continue. civil rights groups say the new rules don't go far enough. >> it's a bit of policy, slight of hand. at the end of the day the biggest problem with the policy is it doesn't apply to all agencies that profile people. >> reporter: but the attorney general defends the new rules. >> i think this is a substantial step forward on the part of what we're doing, certainly with regard to the justice department components and those law enforcement agencies that -- that work with us. again, you know, those components that are mart of the department of homeland security will have -- they have unique needs and things that they are going to have to work their way through. >> reporter: the department of justice is calling for training and accountability checks. even though local law enforcement isn't included in the new rules, federal officials hope these guidelines become a national model, but of course it's local police in ferguson, new york city, and cleveland, who's recent actions are now under skrooutny. john? >> thank you very much. lee leo mcguire was the sheriff and is in our studio again tonight. welcome. >> thank you. >> what does this do for local personnel? >> not much. when it comes down to day-to-day efforts of local law enforcement agencies across this nation. >> there are people out on the streets who are suggesting that black americans aren't often treated the same way by white police officers in many many cities and there is much to do about nothing? >> well, by and large -- there are 900,000 law enforcement officers across this great nation -- >> why do you think so many african-americans feel this way? >> i think there are so many things occurring throughout the nation that are very, very celebrated. the grand jury has decided after weighing all of the evidence presented to them, that they are not going to indict, so there's a segment of the public that are feeling underrepresented. and that is an issue. >> there's a pew poll out that suggests -- and most african americans feels that the police officers should have been indicted, but the white americans didn't believe the officer should be indicted in ferguson, but did believe the officer should be indicted in new york. which is a bit surprising. >> uh-huh. >> i mean -- there has to be something more to it than the fact that african-americans are just screaming that life hasn't been fair for them, and this goes back -- what, 100 years? doesn't it? >> yeah, it does. >> so you can't just wipe that away and say police officers treat everybody fairly can you? >> no, you can't. you have to reflect the community in which you serve. and people are pointing out that we're not doing that as well as we should. but there are so many steps that need to happen. this is an issue that needs to be addressed today, but also tomorrow, in ten years from now, we have to continue to evolve much better than we have in the past. and we have done great work. there is still work that needs to be done that everyone feels they are treated the same under the law. and law enforcement is part of the community in which they police. >> many people i have talked to, many african american journalists who felt they had been mistreated by police in their working careers. somebody is doing it. >> somebody is. and the law enforcement needs to be held accountable. and the leaders, the mayors and others need to be held accountable -- >> how does that happen? we had a police officer on the other night that said nobody pays attention to training. you have already spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in training these guys -- >> well, i mentioned that as well, three days of retraining for the hundreds of different issues that we have to deal with from the legal issues to day-to-day tactical issues, three days is a good start, but far from what is necessary. we need to change the culture of our law enforcement leadership, the culture of how we interact with the public. we are part of the community, and we want to help make it safer -- >> i know you worked on that, and i know this is important to you, but each individual police officers says to themselves, i do my job and i do it fairly, i don't look at race or color. >> in large part that's correct. but we have to make sure our law enforcement leaders hold those few bad apples accountable, and maybe even look at how we're hiring to begin with. we have to look at the psychological profiles of those who want to become police officers, and look at if there are things that are ed lag towards their own personal biases that could be a big problem, a hundred million dollars liability problem ten years down the road. >> again, some tough questions for our country and our communities. leo good to see you. thank you very much. the debate over racial profiling took center stage in new york earlier this year. the supreme court ruled the city's stop and frisk practice was unconstitutional. sarah hoye reports. >> reporter: this man was on his lunch break when he was stopped by new york city police officers in 2006. he was teaching second grade and just left this store when the officers stopped him. >> my story is no different than many others. >> reporter: he was the target of stop and frisk. clarkson says the officers claimed he was coming from a known drug area, and wanted to know if he was carrying anything illegal. he says it is not uncommon to get stopped. >> i have been getting stopped since i was 13. so it just -- it becomes a normalized part of your life. like you expect for it to happen. >> reporter: in 2008 he was one of several plaintiffs who filed a federal class action lawsuit against the city of new york. by law an officer can stop someone if there's a reasonable suspicion that person has engaged in or will engage in a crime. according to the center for constitutional rights, the new york city police department, conducted nearly 533,000 stop and frisks in 2012. with blacks and latinos making up 84% of the stops. the lead attorney for the lawsuit against the city says stop and frisk practices have an effect on the communities. >> the message is being sent that you are viewed as a criminal by law enforcement. not because of what you are doing, but because of who you are and the way you look. >> with all of the new guidelines were there any exceptions? >> yes. when we're talking about airports or borders. right? so the homeland security has kind of a different set of rules, which has people up in arms a bit, because in a sense you are still profiling. so you might have a name that is on the list -- >> or you look like someone we're looking for. >> right. >> so what happens now? >> this is a big deal. in the city of new york you have people that have to come together and rethink all of these rules as well as on the federal lawful. you are talking about changing a culture, you have to retrain all of the law enforcement agencies, this is no easy task. >> and it took a long time to change stop and frisk, right? >> and people will say did we change stop and frisk? look at eric garner. a call from justice from cleveland this time, from the mother of a 12-year-old boy killed by police. today his mother called for the indictment of the officer who pulled the trigger. bisi onile-ere reports. >> reporter: rice's family has hired the same lawyer who represented the family of trayvon martin. he says there is enough evidence to indict both officers now. we heard from his mom today. she explained and shed more light on what she said allegedly happened after she learned that her son has been shot twice by a cleveland police officer. she says her 14-year-old daughter was tackled by police and eventually handcuffed following the shooting. >> as i was trying to get through to my son, the police told me to calm down or they would put me in the back of the police car, and -- so of course i calmed down, and i asked the police to let my daughter go, and they wouldn't at that time, and i asked them -- you know, what is going on, and they wasn't telling me anything, but just calm down, calm down. >> reporter: last week the justice department released a report showing that the cleveland police department has a history of using excessive force. sweeping changes along the way. also the family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the city and the two police officers involved in the shooting. >> thank you. now tonight a huge early morning fire in l.a. being investigated as possible arson began in an apartment under construction and quickly spread to nearby buildings. in maryland investigators trying to find out why a small plane crashed into this house this morning. all three people on board died, so did a mother and her two small children inside the house. and a man died when his cell reached 101 degrees. officials say a broken cooling system was to blame. the guard is accused of failing to check on him. she is charged with falsifying business records and official misconduct. a plea today from the united nations. it says it will be $16 billion to help feed refugees around the world next year. nearly half of that is aimed at helping victims of syria's civil war. they received nearly $9 billion in 2014. in israel today, the parliament voted unanimously to dissolve itself. elections could happen as early as march. they are expected to bring in more conservative politicians, and more controversial policies. nick schifrin reports from jerusalem. >> reporter: jon, good evening, it's the first time in more than half a century that the israeli parliament is disbanding two years after it was elected. in it's in many ways a referendum on one man, benjamin netenyahu. for nearly 20 years, benjamin netenyahu has been running for prime minister. he first won in 1996. he won again in 2009. and just 20 months ago. but even this term didn't end for two more years, he dissolved his own government. >> he had no choice but to move the government forward. >> i hope to receive a brood and new mandate from the people. >> reporter: netenyahu's top ally will be this 42-year-old. his base is religious zionists. he is considered a hawk. >> i want to help lead israel in the vision that i believe in, the vision, if you will, of a lighthouse in a storm. a lighthouse that is strong in this muslim storm. >> reporter: their likely partner, the foreign minister who lives in a settlement. he is russian born, and suggests that palestinian israelis move into the occupied west bank. their chief opposition, labor party leader. he is hoping to lead a coalition often referred to anyone but netenyahu. he opposed netenyahu's extremism. in this election he is the dove. >> it is possible, absolutely possible still to make peace with the palestinians. and >> reporter: and a former finance minister. he emphasizes economic relief. but israels don't vote for individuals. they vote for parties. and there is always a coalition government. there are 120 seats in parliament, and the prime minister's party might only end up with 20 seats. netenyahu is expected to win. >> benjamin netenyahu doesn'ting want any peace process. >> reporter: right now violence may be spiking. israel's shekel may be down. >> it will not be a message of peace. it will be a message of security. i'm the only one that can handle the challenge facing the state of israel, and vote for me, we'll be okay. vote for the others, and we all might die. >> reporter: israeli jets launched air strikes just outside of damascus yesterday. hezbollah spokesmen said the targets were drones and missiled headed for lebanon. right after those strikes a centrist party came out and said they were political. they called them the beginning of netenyahu's reelection campaign, which is going to focus a lot on security. that will give you a sense of the stakes in this election and the mud slinging and tone that you are going to hear. >> reporter: -- france has agreed to pay millions of dollars to foreign departed from that country to nazi death camps. phil lavelle has the story. >> reporter: thousands of jews parished in france's concentration camps, but many more were sent abroad to be murdered. the french state train prater was used to transport them. and an acknowledgment now after all of these years that the a survivors or at least their relatives should be compensated. this, a symbolic moment, a $60 million fund was officially and legally agreed. >> we will never forget that dark chapter of history. it is our duty to remember, to pass on this memory to future generations for as our president reaffirmed, it is not the history of the jewish people, it's our history. >> we believe this will provide much more meaningful relief to people around the world than litigation that would last many years come at great cost and with very uncertain results. >> reporter: the train line refused to comment, and told us to talk to the foreign ministry. who said there will be three types of compensation. those who survived deportation standing to get at least $100,000 each. spouses of those who were deported will also be able to apply. amounts will vary, but they will get tens of thousands of dollars, and there will be money for the estates. how much they get will depend on what year the survivor or spouse subsequently passed away. what this represents is at the very least some form of justice. and they have waited so very long for this. nearly 70 years have passed since the end of world war ii. but the wait is still not over. now it has to be formally signed nauf there, the french parliament, and that process itself could take many more months. coming up our picture of the day, plus the furthest reaches of the solar system, and after a nearly decade long nap a rendezvous with pluto. and the royal couple visits a court of a different kind. the new middle east on al jazeera america a coastal storm in development right now along the east coast has already brought some wet snow to parts of new jersey early in the day. now that cold rain is going to be all up the east coast and a little further inland. it's rain/snow mixed together and change over to all snow further inland. we're looking at trees and power lines for some potential problems as that storm moves through as we get through the day tomorrow into thursday. that's when it will be further up towards maine. the west coast is looking at rain coming in starting in washington by tuesday and moving into california by thursday. it's the heavy rain washington state is worried about. flood warnings have been issued as we expect to see the rivers rising rapidly through the day tomorrow and wednesday. so watch out for 5 to 9 inches of rainfall with these record high temperatures coming out as just rain in the north cascade mountains. problem is there is so much snow backed into these storms. it will bring floods also into parts of california where it's so dry the water is going to run off very fast. it was launched into space a year before the first apple iphone. tonight the spacecraft is awake about a nine-year hibernation. jake ward has more from san francisco. >> it has been a pretty exciting year for space exploration the space shuttle successor just make an amazing tour, and now an 8-foot nasa spacecraft, the size and shape of a baby grand piano is about to rip past pluto. we're not going there to get it ready for human habitation or anything. the light of the sun looks like a dim distant flashlight because the light takes four hours to reach the surface. that makes the place very cold. the surface temperature is around negative 230 celsius. you can't really predict the seasons there, that makes it a really hard place to set up shop. instead we're going there because it's part of a huge collection of small remnants from the formation of the solar system, and as it passes through that belt, it will be like a rapid fire tour of the universe. that's what makes this kind of a tricky mission. not only did the spacecraft have to be put to sleep to conservative energy. and it's very hard to turn something on remotely after you have turned it off, but it will be a probable thing when it reaches pluto in 2015. it has to shoot it in passing. we don't know what it is going to photograph, because it has to choice its targets at the time based on where they are. it won't slow down because of how fast this is moving. nasa built it to travel 43,000 miles. an orbit would require more fuel than the ship can carry to slow it down. so it is going to rip past pluto just snapping pics and taking measurements all the way. but it took almost a decade at that speed to get there. it makes you realize how enormous space is. >> that's a remarkable achievement. jake thank you. president obama meth with prince williams today at the white house. the prince is here with his wife kate. the prince spoke at the world bank about stopping wildlife trafficking. tonight they're in brooklyn new york for their first nba game. the nets are playing the cavaliers. there are more protests and paul bieben is there with that. >> reporter: i'm here in front of the barclay center, and the protesters are calling it the royal shutdown. the duke and dutchess are taking in the game. there have been about 250 protesters really doing laps around the barclay center. right now the bulk of the crowd is out in the intersection where they have staged several die-ins. lying down in the intersection, blocking traffic, now they have moved into the front of a target store, maybe trying to get in, i don't think they will be successful there. there is a massive police presence as you would imagine, that has kept them away from the front of the
