The use of waterboarding stopped many years ago. But according to those who have seen this report, ugly new details about those procedures will be revealed. Where prisoners were sexually to demeaned and cia interrogators urged to continue even after concluding no more information could be gleaned. The muslim world has erupted many times before when the u. S. And the west have been accused of religious or cultural slights. Tonight, the chairman of the House Committee says if the report is releases, groups like isis will take full advantage. They dont have to be accurate or right. They just have to believe its true. And they will take advantage of that. We know that aisl propaganda operations, this is the motherlode for them. Martha, the report can put americans in danger, why is it being released. Well, the chair of the senate committee, dianne feinstein, and others say that it should be reliced so americans can know the full story on what happened and this kind of interrogation never happens again. Tom . Thank you. We are moving on to the extreme weather. The monster typhoon battering the philippines and now taking lives. And here at home, two powerful storms on the way. Abcs senior meteorologist rob marciano with details in a moment. First, abcs hamish macdonald. Reporter the typhoon slams into the coastline at full force. The storm had been whipping itself into a frenzy for days and finally unleashed itself in the towns and cities of the southern philippines. As it moved onwards, we followed the military to the edges of the Mayon Volcano to survey the damage. All of the rain that is fallen in the past 24 hours is now washing down the mountainside and the road is swept away. And the fear is landslides are a real possibility. This typhoon is still carving a path across the philippines. In the worst affected areas, 80 of homes were destroyed. For the force and the fury of the typhoon, the people of the philippines seem to have been spared the worst. So far, there seems to be very few lives lost. Be for that, tom, they are thankful. Hamish, thank you. Rob is here tracking the typhoon. Now its headed to more populated areas, mainly manila. 160 miles southeast of there. And heading there, 6 to 7 miles an hour. The equivalent of a category 1. By tomorrow, just under that status. And a strong storm monday. Flooding, yeah, flooding rains and destructive winds through tuesday. And back here at home, big is it storms brewing. Yeah, a nor easters is going to develop tuesday to thursday. A threeday event. Mostly rain for tuesday. In the rush hour, its going to be heavy rain tuesday morning. And then we get enough cold air, 6 to 12 inches of snow or more. And another storm, thursday, friday, strong winds and another batch of heavy rain from seattle all the way down to san francisco. This one is going to be a doozy. Looking to be one of the biggest storms in years. Rob, thank you. Now to the anger of the grand jury decision not to indict a white Police Officer in the death of eric garner. The protests still growing and overnight, some turning violent. Abcs Rob Claiborne on the story for us tonight. Reporter in berkeley, california, a protest over a grand jury decision turned ugly. The demonstrators went on a rampage, tossing smoke canisters back at riot police. Mostly now daily protests sweeping the nation have been nonviolent. This weekend, some pro athletes slow showing their solidarity. Chicago balls star derrick rose wearing a i cant breathe shirt. And reggie bush wearing a shirt in a warmup. I cant breathe, garners last words as he was being arrested last july. In the aftermath, the nypd began retraining the entire place force. All 35,000 officers. The focus . Teaching them ways to avoid physical force, using dialogue to talk suspects into compliance and Building Trust in respect. Sometimes you are on an adrenaline rush going back and forth and sometimes your emotions get caught up in what youre doing and sometimes you dont think clearly. Reporter can you train that out of an officer . Not train them out but make them understand this is going to happen to you. Reporter in an interview with george stephanopoulos, the new york city mayor vowed that the retraining would make a huge difference. If you train with a different approach with the use of force, to the communication with the community, a different approach to the building relationships with the community, you wont see these tragedies. Reporter the goal is to change how they do their jobs and handle situations, like the protest behind me. And the situations that led to the death of eric garner on staten island. The concept, talk down, not take down. Tom . And day five of the protests. Ron, thank you. All this week, abc news has taken an indepth look at race, equality and justice in america.

Reporter today, one of the most historic decisions in College Football. Sitting in at number one, alabama holds its spot. Reporter but already one of the more controversial. I think they have taken a severe credibility hit today. Reporter the fans and pundits sounding off online this as the slekt E Selection Committee chose four teams to compete in the first ever College Football playoff. Alabama, oregon. Florida state and ohio state. Controversial because ohio state nudged out two teams, tcu and baylor, with similar records. The picks, based partially on how tough the schedule. What do you tell of selection committee. Great job. But you got it wrong. But all things considered. Its a new process. Its a learning process for everybody. Its unchartered waters. Reporter they are scrapping tradition for this inaugural playoff system. Letting thE Selection Committee, including condoleezza rice, choose the four teams. Tonight, defending their picks. Ohio state earned the spot. Reporter tonight, so many feeling they got it wrong. ThE Selection Committee with a former secretary of state along with rhodes scholars. And they will be the first admit, this is a subjective process. Still questions, was this the right way to do it. Lets bring in espn analyst kirk herbstreit. No one is calling the new selection testimony perfect. But in your opinion, are the four best teams in College Football in the final four . Yeah, i really think they got it right. There was question going to the final weekend if it was going to be ohio state, tcu or baylor. Ohio state had a win in the big ten championship game with a new quarterback, and i think that is what got them over the hump, ended up getting them above both tcu and baylor. So you have the best four teams in the country at the end of the year. When we have a clear winner, will it settle arguments in living rooms and sports bars across the country . No, never. We have subjective analysis with a 12person committee. Its very, very different than the nfl. You will always have big, strong opinions from fan bases around the country. When it works out, its a great system. When it doesnt work out, we need a new system. Theres a lot of passion with College Football. But at the same time there are people that get very frustrated with it because of the subjective analysis that we have. Kirk herbstreit, thank you.

I was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. My doctor told me about eliquis. For three Important Reasons. One, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. And three, unlike warfarin, theres no routine blood testing. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Those three Important Reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. Ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. Dad,thank you mom for said this oftprotecting my future. You.
