In los angeles and how builders are getting around it and rare find former slave that fight to preserve a priceless part of american history. It is the day after the land slide. The republicans are in full control of congress. The democrats stung by defeat, both sides playing nice at least in public. President obama pledged to work with both parties and chambers. Already sticking points, the president said hell use executive power to change immigration policy if needs be. I feel obliged to do everything i can lawly with my executive authority, to make sure we dont make the system worse. Senator Mitch Mcconnell pledges cooperation, saying the president s threats of executive action will be a problem. Its like waving a red flag in front of a bull to say you guys if you dont do what i want, ill do it on my own. Libby casey has more from capitol hill. First thing i need to do is get the senate back to normal. That means working more. Reporter coming off reelection to the sixth term and a decisive win for his Republican Party, senator Mitch Mcconnell is talking like a majority leader. Democrats will be in the minority in both chambers for the First Time Since 2006. Voters were clear they are angry, and not just with democrats. They are fed up with the slow economic recovering, and the partisan stalemate on capitol hill. The victors promised a push for bipartisanship. I do want to thank those iowans who voted for my opponent. I plan to work day and night to earn your trust and confidence. Amid the promises senator Mitch Mcconnell pointed fingers about the past two years of congressional gridlock. The senate was the problem, not the house. The house passed over 300 pieces of legislation, many on a bipartisan legislation. And pledges to battle president barack obama on issues regarding an energy bill and immigration and the big one, health care. Its no secret that every one of my members thinks that Affordable Care act was a huge legislative smoke legislative mistake. If i had the ability, id get rid of it. It could be known as the error of the veto. I am not sure if it will solve everything, but well function. For years the Republican Party in washington has been accused of being the party of no. They may now try to shift the mantle to president obama, set ght the stage for the set ght the stage for the next fight in 2016. Thank you, libby casey Many Democrats were voted out, liberal issues were voted in. Jonathan betz is here with that. Voters chose change on a lot of issues. The minimum wage was raised in every state where it appeared on the ballot, and medical marijuana supporters are enjoying big wins from last night as well. A great victory for oregon. Three out of four for groups pushing for marijuana. Better prioritisation of resources. Most importantly, more freedom, and more equality. Oregon, alaska and washington d. C. Joined colorado and Washington State in legalizing small amounts of pot. The exception, florida, which narrowly said no to medical marijuana. This amendment was a train wreck. It had five loopholes to create de facto legalization of marijuana. Heavy campaigning was not enough. Before election day voters promised to keep fighting. On minimum wage, an issue pushed by president obama. No one that works full time in america should be below the poverty line. Big wins in republican. Arkansas bumped up to 15. 25. Nebraska raised it to 9. South dakota upped its wage by more than a dollar, and alaskans will make 9. 70 by 2016. On more controversial measures, colorado, and north dakota rejected efforts to make it easier to limit abortions. Washington state approved stronger background checks on firearms, closing the socalled gun show loophole. Berkeley california became the first city to pass a tax on sodas and other drinks. Real hunters never do this. And the biggest losers maybe the bears in maine. Voters rejecting measures using dogs, bait to trap bears. Maine is the only state allowing all three practices. And on legalizing marijuana, activists focus on massachusetts and california, hoping to get momentum going. Jonathan betz reporting. Thank you for the first time ever, 100 women can vote in congress. They still have a long way to go. Roxana saberi has that story. Reporter it was a big night for female candidates across the country. People ask me all the time what my favourite part of the campaign has been. I think tonight. [ laughs ] joni ernst, republican, will be the first woman in congress from iowa, and the first female combat veteran from the senate. Well have the first black republican woman in congress. My generation cant just complain about our problems we have to help solve them. Reporter and at age 30, the youngest woman elected to congress. Therell be 100 women casting votes on capitol hill. After the ballots are counted. It could reach 106. I hope that the presence of women and their greater ability to negotiate, listen and not be anxious to fight might help us overcome the gridlock we see in the congress. Most are in the house, most are democrats. Congress looked a lot different a century ago when janet regan became the first woman in congress. Women make up only about 30 of congress, and an institute predicts they wont hit 50 for another century, for that to happen, it will take more young women like sara blare to go into politics. Im trying to do this for a greater purpose to help all young people in the state of west virgin. At age 18 she became the youngest lawmaker. It is significant if young women get on the electoral ladder at a young age. That means that the pool of women sort of groomed for leadership, whether this the senate or the presidency. The pool just gets bigger. Another interesting first this year for a man republican scott brown became the first man to lose to two women in senate history. He lost in massachusetts two years ago, and in New Hampshire this year. The g. O. P. Sweep made headlines around the globe. The International Press described the midterms as an embarrassment. World leaders will be watching to see how well the white house and capitol hill can Work Together on Foreign Policy issues. The fight against i. S. I. L. Is a good place to start. Ill begin Engaging Congress over a new eitherisation to use military force against i. S. I. L. The world needs to know we are united behind the effort and the men and women are clear in unified support. Jamie, welcome back. Jamie is a bureau chief. How badly is president obama wounded when it comes to Foreign Policy. Ultimately it doesnt make much difference on the ground. The perception is he has been weakened by the wrath in the midterm elections. You would have thought there was an insurgency that happened in the white house, people talked of the republicans taking control, ousting the democrats, and these were the headlines we were seeing. So could advantage be taken . It will be interesting to see what the israeli Prime MinisterBinyamin Netanyahu does in terms of doing everything that he will try to do to sir calm vent a Nuclear Agreement with iran. Its said that hes expected to launch a major effort to insight congress against any deal. The Prime Minister said this past week that the election could determine the future of israel. How do you see that . What do you think it means . Its interesting. Right now i think that he has a lot of allies in congress. Whether it translates into something that will affect the executive branch and what the white house can or cannot do ultimately is something well see going forward. Regardless, i think that what ive been told, and what i understand is that regarding the nuclear talks, the iranians and the white house put in conditions within the agreement meaning they can go ahead with something, regardless of how Congress Might act. Anything that the Republican Senate may have an interest over. They may have a trade deal. There are some that are protrade, propartnerships and want to see a lot of things going forward. That may compel the president to move forward. Senator john mccain has been the most critical of the president when it comes to syria and iraq. Is the fact that he has that power in the senate, does that matter. What hell do and what he does, and provide the scrutiny that the white house needs, and call for transparency in trying to get the white house to be transparent with what the white house is doing with syria and iraq you spent your life covering stories around the world, including iraq. Can you give us a sense of how closely the midterm elections are watched overseas. I mean honestly. Do people pay attention. World leaders do. On the ground. I think what they will see is something happens in washington, but obama is still the president. How that really translates to changes on the ground doesnt impact an iraqi or syrian, who is unhappy with the way obama is behaving. If they see it will weaken him and make him do less, it will affect them more street violence as been flaring in jerusalem, fuelling tensions between the israeli and palestinians. An israeli was killed, and more wounded. Imtiaz tyab has more from jerusalem. Reporter after a day of tensions, a night of protests. This issue is about the occupied neighbourhood. Protesters took to the streets about what they see is israeli aagrees. Lighting fires, setting off fireworks. The protest follows what the Israeli Police are calling a hit and run terror attack. A palestinian man drove his car into a crowd of people waiting at a train platform in west jerusalem. A Security Camera captured the moment officers shot the man dead, and he has been identified as ibb rah him, he was shot because he was trying to attack bystanders with a metal rod. In recent days we have witnessed growing incitement by the palestinian authority. Including the sending of a condolence letter to the family and calling to prevent jews from visiting the temple mount in any way. That has consequences on the ground. The ramming attack in jerusalem is a direct result of the incitement of abu and his partners in hamas. We are in a battle over jerusalem, which i have no doubt we will win. The attack happened after a violent confrontation between the police at alaqsa. After a group of far right activists tried to enter the holy site. They were there as part of the plan to commemorate a week since the palestinian man shot and wounded a leader, who campaigned for greater access at the location. Police used stun grenades and tear gas to disperse protesters, and reopened the mosque. For the First Time Since 1976, Israeli Police entered inside the alaqsa mosque. They had shoes on and introduced weapons. There is has been near daily confrontations between Palestinian Protesters and Israeli Police. While access to alaqsa mosque is an issue, support for settlers moving into neighbourhoods inflamed things further. This is the second car attack by a palestinian driver in a week. There are growing concerns that tensions between the israeli authorities and protesters and the occupied east could lead to a new Palestinian Uprising turning to a sports story in this country, the n. F. L. Commissioner, was the first witness in an appeal hearing for ray rice. Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended the player after video surfaced of rice punching then fiancee inside a hotel elevator. His now wife, jena rice, was at the 2day hearing. The pair will testify tomorrow. Commissioner Roger Goodell spent two hours on the stand stood. Areva martin, attorney, joins us from los angeles to talk about this. Explain how the hearing works. Essentially this judge will take testimony from ray rice and witnesses that he wants to call, and the league, and any witnesses that they want to call. Shell have to decide whether the identification that ray ries told to Roger Goodell, prior to the tape being disclosed is the full complete information about what happened in the elevator. Ray rice says i was honest about what happened recollection and Roger Goodell said, no, you were ambiguous. We didnt know the story until we saw the tape, which caused him to change the 2day suspension to the indefinite suspension. Ray rice is saying he didnt get fair treatment. Ray rice is saying this is double information. Saying i gave you all the information, you punished me with a 2game suspension, and then when it blew up and the league was embarrassed, you gave me another punishment, the indefinite suspension and violates my due process and is a form of double jeopardy. The judges ruling, how can it be legally binding if rice violated a private companys code of conduct. They have a bargaining agreement, all the proceedings are taking place pursuant to that agreement, and ray rice and the league agrees to admit to a private arbitration before the judge. Each side submitted and agreed by contract to abide by whichever decision the judge makes. Reporters like us continue to do stories on this this and this video is played over and over again. Why is ray rice doing it, is it about money . This is about his livelihood. Ray rice is not working, hes not earning income. Hes painted as a horrible domestic abuser, and he wants to regain his position in the n. F. L. He wants to play football, support his family. He wants an opportunity to make amends for what we saw in the video tape. Lets move on to another disgraced player. He anticipated a plea deal in the child abuse case. What does that many . Essentially he and the prosecuting attorney came to an agreement accepted bit judge to avoid gaol time. He has 80 hours of community ever service, he has a fine. He wont have to serve gaol time. The criminal proceedings for aiderien peters Adrian Petersen is over. After beating his small child, could he go back to the n. F. L. We heard a lot of that, we heard his lawyer saying Adrian Petersen is not an abuser, he did not abuse the child and the ball is in the n. F. L. Court, and he, too, wants to return. Now the n. F. L. Has to decide whether to allow him to go back to play football. What does it say about football . Sorry. What does it say about football, professional sports . Both of these cases say that the n. F. L. Has a lot of work to do, on the front with respect to women and children. Consistencies causes everyone to be frustrated. In some cases they say we have to wait for the criminal Justice System to play out, in other cases they act on allegations. They need to be consistent and take swift and serious action when there are allegations of Domestic Violence and child abuse. And maybe get to the root of the problem before it happens in some ways. Absolutely. More preventive programs, more training, more advocacy, and support for the victim, we dont hear enough about the women who are subjected to Domestic Violence, and the children who are part of these situations. More support for the victims, more training, so that the guys dont end up in the criminal Justice System, so they dont end up suspended or tainting and marring the images of professional football players. All right. Good to see you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Always a pleasure coming up next a rare look at Civil War History from a never before picture made famous by a slave. [ singing ] and darlene love on her new success from her older hit songs. President obama will ask congress for 6 billion to fight ebola. The emergency money would be used to fight the money in the u. S. And africa. Obama will ask the lame duck congressman to approve the funding. The committee will review the request. It is an astonishing part of history. A rare photograph of a slave by Robert E Lees family was found. The story doesnt begin to sell the story of a woman. Sheila macvicar has the story. Reporter the civil war, one of the first conflicts to be captured on camera. Of the thousands of images, theres one rarely portrayed enslaved africanamericans. Still more rare photographs of slaves who can be identified, which makes this photo, taken at general Robert E Lees estate, arlington house, truly one of a kind. There is no name on the photo, but in the collection there is another picture, clearly the same woman. When a National Park service volunteer, collector of early photography found this listing on ebay. He now the appearance of the women and alerted the group. Saved arlington house. Heated until the last minute. Ultimately arlington came out on top. Purchasing the rare photograph for 700. The mysterious woman was selena gray. Shown here with two daughters in front of two slave daughters. Brandon is with the National Parks service. Selena gray is something of a legend. When the lee family fled, it was selena who mary lee entrusted with the keys to the estate. Within a few short weeks the entire area is occupied by thousands. Tens of thousands of Union Soldiers. The Union Soldiers looted the house, filled with personal belongings, many of which belonged to george and martha washington. That stopped because selena gray confronted the Union General and told him that these were objects critical to the history of the nation. Among the objects, the china that george washingtonate from, paintings washington ate from, paintings and furniture. How is it that selena gray could approach a Union General and reproach him. She had monumental courage to
