>> two convicted killers on the run for weeks have been found? a florida motel. charles walker and joseph jenkins went peacefully with police. both serve life sentences when they escaped using forged documents. we are joined life from miami. have the police revealed how they tracked down the men? >> they said that they had a tip from an informant or associate in the area, i believe, is how they termed it, to track down the two. all along the police said they weren't sure if the two men whose escape from prison was 11 days apart, if they were in any way coordinated together. the fact that they were arrested together certainly gives credence to the notion that their escapes were coordinated. the taste of freedom ended
11:02 pm
around dinner time at a motel in panama city. police say that they were arrested without incident, and their arrests come hours, literally, after the mother of one of the convicts stood before cameras and pleaded with him to turn himself in. their escapes were an embarrassment to the florida department of corrections. they were able to walk out of a prison, the the franklin correctional institution. that's in the panhandle, thanks to forged documents send to the clerk of the court. the place where they were arrested was less than a 2 hour drive from the prison in which they escaped. in any event, once they got out, they had gone to a gaol in florida, where they were required, as felons to register. they did, they were fingerprinted and had mug shots taken. it was the mother of a murder victim who brought this to the attention of a prosecutor's
11:03 pm
office when she got a piece of mail saying that one of the convicts had been released. in any event, their arrest came hours after family members stood before cameras and urged them to surrender. >> has there been additional measures at the gaol put in place so that this kind of thing doesn't happen again? >> well, the department of corrections is saying that now will modify the way it verifies prison releases. there'll be a hearing held on the matter. i want to point out both men are going to be facing new charges. they'll appear before a judge tomorrow in panama city. they were already serving life prison sentences without the possibility of parole. >> okay. back in gaol. thank you. >> a transit strike in san francisco continues to strand 200,000 riders. the unions and management remain
11:04 pm
at an impasse. earlier today a tragic development. two bay area rapid transit workers were killed by a train north-east of san francisco. al jazeera's lisa bernhald reports. >> it happened between two suburban stations. the transit agency says two employees were hit and killed by a train as they checked out an of report of a dip in the rails. an agency spokesman says one worked for bart and the other a contractor. one inspects and the others watches for trains. both people had extensive experience working around moving trains. the agency says the train was on a routine maintenance run with an experienced operator at the controls and at the time of the accident the train was being run in automatic mode under computer control. >> investigators are trying to learn what led to the accident that has stunned an agencies scrambling to cope with a strike
11:05 pm
and 200,000 frustrated riders. >> jp morgan chase could pay a record fine over mortgage practices leading up to the financial crisis. a tentative deal was reportedly reached yesterday, calling for the bank to pay $9 billion it the february and $4 billion to struggling home owners. the bank faces a criminal investigation by the justice department. this is the latest of many settlements by jp morgan. in july the bank was announced to by $410 million to the federal energy which commission for manipulating electricity prices in california and the midwest. last month they agreed to pay $1 billion to regulators, traders acting recklessly in the london oil scandal and jp morgan was ordered to pay $300 million to customers hurt by illegal credit card debt collection.
11:06 pm
on wednesday the bank agreed to by $100 million to the commodities commission for the london deal. and the $13 billion penalty for selling bad mortgage bonds to invest juniors. it's close to $14 billion since july. they could face criminal charges over mortgage bonds and an investigation over practices in asia. >> let's break-in in john prior. he's been covering the settlement. when you hear about all of the fines adding up, you hear critics say the government has not done enough to crackdown on these banks. is this finally enough is this. >> well, that is the big question. the concern raised from the settlement and the ones that you mentioned is an interesting question. not only are these banks having failed, but they are too big to manage. the settlement that they have
11:07 pm
reached tentatively last night is - is a dent to the notion that jp diamond, the ceo has been long held as one of the best on wall street. he's been heralded for getting the bank through the financial crisis. the legal troubles that you mentioned forced the bank to report its first quarterly loss under his stewardship since taking the ceo job in 2005. this certainly raises the question of whether the bank is being properly managed under his control. >> do you think that this could maybe raise calls for jamie diamond to step down? >> investors in the company have not really done that. clients for the bank have not done that. most of that - most of those voices came from outside of the bank in washington, possibly.
11:08 pm
so i don't think this really - this really will lead to him stepping down. it's more of a dent to his reputation as one of the best ceos, not only on wall street, but in the country. this fuels the fire for that. i think the management at jp morgan, if they put the concerns behind them, as it looks like they are trying to do, the settlement concerns other mortgage funds sold to the mortgage giants fanny may and freddy mack. they are trying to put this stuff behind them, moving forward. if he's able to do that, he's able to return the bank back to a profit. some of the alarm bells about his job will quiet down. >> when you hear about the $13 billion penalty, it could be a record in this industry. why - especially since, by the way, the bank could face criminal investigations and charges, why would jp morgan
11:09 pm
agree to this? >> again, like i said, it's about putting all this - the legacy mortgage crisis behind them, and moving forward. it's been a few weeks of tough negotiations with diamond and eric holder. it's something that the bank wants to do all at once, rather than drag it out. the $13 billion, like i said, involves 4 billion that could be paid to fanny and freddy. allowing the bank to move on and get back to doing what the banks are supposed to do, which is finance small businesses and lend to home owners. >> it's something that has been going on for a while. maybe it ends here. and john prior thank you for your time. >> two countries hard hit by the global financial crisis, portugal and italy announced cuts. they both have had enough.
11:10 pm
violence erupted in italy. we have a story from rowan. barnaby phillips starts us off in portugal. >> the portuguese government says light is showing through the gloom. economic growth is showing after years of recession. here in porto, it's hard to find signs of it. the latest austerity measures brought thousands on to the streets. in a march organised by the trade unions. >> many people are angry with the portuguese government's latest government, which raises taxes on people earning as little as 600 euros a month, pinning hopes on the country's constitution, which has rejected some of the government's austerity measures. >> the union members tend to be older workers. in portugal, like in europe's other crisis countries the young are more often in casual labour
11:11 pm
and have higher levels. >> in a porto backstreet i met pedro, a nurse in a state hospital. like many colleagues, he's on strike this week. >> we have a bigger workload and no increase in salary. this means at the end of the month we worked more hours with less money. >> nearby i met mario in his bar, where he mixes cocktails and worries about how few customers walk through the door. >> we invest our money in business, improve our business. nowadays it's almost impossible. you have to fire people, getting cuts from two years now onwards, and next year i think it will be the same and it's been a struggle for us. in the capitol lisbon, there were protests. workers drove hundreds of buses over the river taygas after crowds were not allowed to march on the bridge because of safety
11:12 pm
concerns. in porto they filed through the city center. the sign says, "enough", meaning we can take no more. right now the portuguese don't know where to look for the signs of recovery that the government promises are on the horizon. >> a showdown between masked demonstrators and police in central roam. they appeared within the crowd of protesters, charging the police officers and setting off smoke bombs and fireworks. many fled when the trouble kicked off. the march started peacefully. they came from all over the country, tens of thousands of protesters, many younger people descended upon the capital. they showed anger at the government's austerity drive and their frustration at increasing unemployment. conditions, they say, guaranteeing fewer opportunities for future generations. >> translation: we need a change. enough of this political
11:13 pm
theatre. people can't stomach the crisis, they want change. >> translation: it is hard for us now. i had to sell my belonging, i don't have my wedding ring. i'm not complaining, there are worse situations. i can't live like this any more. >> also present at the march, immigrant groups urging italian politicians to ensure protection of their rights and asylum for those escaping conflict. along the march was a heavy police presence. around 4,000 officers were deployed across central rome. >> the square in central rome is where the protest wound up on saturday evening. sofl of the protesters are trying to set up a tent city in the square. they don't have prime ministers to do that. the government's reaction is it will stick to its plan to bring italy out of recession. many believe there's little benefit for italians. the government, a shaky center left has a fight on its hand.
11:14 pm
that could be a political battle that may cost it its survival. >> after a tough summer of wildfires in the united states australia's battling dozens of their own. they are burning near sydney in the blue mountains, fireofficials say the conditions are serious. so far 200 homes have been destroyed as the wildfires continue. let's turn to andrew thomas in australia near the blue mountains. we understand that there's concern that army training exercises may have sparked the fires? >> that's right. the worst of the fires began on thursday in exceptionally hot and windy continues. crazy conditions, you would think, to do anything that might spark a fire. this is the newspaper in sydney this morning "blazing stupidity", they are saying, for a defense force exercise, an army exercise carried out on
11:15 pm
thursday using explosives to train their soldiers. it's believed that that might have caused one of the worst fires near the town of lithgow in the boun ans, west of -- blue mountains west of sydney. let me give you an overview of the situation. there's 60 fires burning across the states of new south wales and south-eastern australia. of those 15 are out of control, meaning firefighters can't contain the fire - they can't contain the flames in a certain area. of those, four are causing concern. a bit of bad news i'm afraid is the weather, which has been relatively cool is set to get worse, it will get hotter and will get windier too. those, of course, are the worst possible conditions when it comes to trying to stop fires from escaping. >> people in this region west of sydney are getting text messages when fires are approaching. they are telling them to get out, grab what precious possessions they can, and head to families in safe areas or
11:16 pm
friends, or go to evacuation centres, of which there are many across the blue mountains. d daniel, you lost your home, this is devastating for you. >> reduced to ash. >> did you get anything out? >> few things. there was not enough times to get everything. our lives was the priority. we had to grab what we can and make a run for it. >> i can see you clutching a precious item. >> this is my violin crafted in 1942 during the world war ii. we left this behind. i am indebted to a firefighter for rescuing this instrument of mine >> glenys of joy or hope. >> it's a miracle -- glimmers of joy or home. >> it's a mire abbingle. there are fears there'll be more like daniel where the fires look
