on three major political fronts, new jersey governor chris christie's troubles now go beyond the george washington bridge traffic meltdown. a federal audit has been ordered into a $25 million marketing campaign that ran during his reelection campaign. more than $4.5 million of those funds went to ad to say boost tourism on the jersey shore as the featured chris christie. >> we're stronger than the storm and open for everyone. >> the jersey shore is open. >> the word is spreading. >> because we're stronger than the storm. >> meanwhile, bill and hillary clinton face questions about a compiling of a list of what leading democrats were naughty or nice to the clintons. president obama is spending off questions about the critical memoir penned by his former secretary of defense, robert gates. >> secretary gates was an outstanding secretary of defense, a good friend of mine, and i'll always be grateful for his service. >> for more, i'm joined from los

angeles by bill schneider professor at george mason university and distinguished fellow and resident scholar at third way, also an aljazeera english contributor, also from los angeles aljazeera contributor michael shore. with me from washington, d.c. is washington bureau chief jim warren. great to have all you guys back on the show. bill, i'll start with you. this story about these ads in new jersey has been around for a while. a new jersey paper reported in august reported the contract had been reported to a politically connected firm that charged $2 million more than its closest competitor and this company's ads was going to include governor christie and his family in its plans. does the timing suggest piling on, kicking a guy when he's down? >> i think it started before the bridge controversy. it's been looked at since last year. the problem was number one, it was taxpayer money, money from relief for the budajed created

by hurricane sandy. that gives the government a right to the audit and look into the use of those funds. the governor claims of course that it was meant to stimulate tourism and business in new jersey, which is a form of recovery, but it was a campaign year when those ads ran and he was running for reelection so there are some had legitimate questions about that. >> governor christie had this to say monday. he said: >> jim with, what kind of pressure, though, does this all put on governor christie coming so soon after this whole mess with the george washington bridge became a national issue? >> you know, the only polling that i've seen out there in the last 48 hours, antonio, and my warm weather friends out in

l.a., suggests that he hasn't taken much of a hit, that his positive polling is in the mid-30's around the country, and that it hasn't really gone down as a result. remember, $60 billion were appropriated by congress for sandy aid. if there is a sandal, it's how little of that money at this point still has actually gotten to those who really need it. as far as money spent on the marketing campaign, should we have hauled out the boss, bruce springsteen? would he have been more appropriate? clearly christie is one of the best known spokesman for the state and this was, i think justifiable to at least have a marketing campaign to assist those businesses that were ravaged up and down the coast. >> one of the issues that has been brought up in the context of all this is whether the governor had created a culture of bullying of being political

relatery abuse and jersey city's may have said christie played some hard ball with his city, canceling meetings with six state agencies after the mayor pass said on endorsing the governor. michael, that can't be helping christie, given that bullying has become such a big part of the conversation. >> yeah, i mean until jim warren just spoke, nothing's been helping christie, so i'm not surprised that you see democrats all over the state coming out and saying, you know, talking about what chris christie did to them. it's typical politics, also typical new jersey as bill was saying before we went on the air, pay back politics in the pay back state. that's what you're dealing with here. the timing is terrible for governor christie, because this could have been talked its way out of, this whole issue with the ad. he had catch used to do it in new york. i remember after hurricane andrew in florida, the governor said we need to koch it up down here, put ourselves in this to

say come back, we're open for business. this on top of this and now on top of all the in-fighting that's going to continue in that state does not help governor christie. >> the big favorite for 2016 on the democratic side is hillary clinton and critics who view her at lady mcbeth good a boost from a story described a list that the clintons keep on democrats or kept on democrats who helped or hurt hilly in her 2008 campaign. missouri senator made the list when she endorsed barack obama a few -- and also after she had made this comment about president clinton. >> he's been a great leader, but i don't want my daughter near him. >> that did not make the clintons happy. the senator apologize for that, but as keeping this hit list, put the clintons in the same category as chris christie, trying to be bullies. >> no. here's the reason.

remember, politics ain't bean bag. that's an old story. every politician keeps enemies lists. they're not going to survivor without pit that they want to know who's done them favors and who's done them wrong. she clearly insulted president clinton. christie's revenge hurt in vent peel. the mayor of fort lee, new jersey didn't even know this was happening because of the politics, for revenge. it hurts school children and commuters and emergency workers, and they didn't even know that it was part of a political revenge plot. >> what you're saying is exactly what a clinton campaign aide said, saying we wanted a cover record of those who endorsed us and didn't. those who endorsed him, talking about barack obama, but really should have been with her, that really burned her. it does seem the clintons went farther with this than just sort

of political thinking and keeping a list of who's who. they were grading people on a seven-point scale, depending on how good or bad they were. >> getting rode for the sochi olympics, 6.5, 4.2 from the russian judge. as bill said and the late mayor harold washington of chicago, the first black mayor used that politics ain't bean bag notion, too. this was a very bitter primary contest between the clintons centrally and this upstart young united states senator from the state of illinois. i remember sitting at a dinner with one of the more prominent obama aides at the time in the middle of all this, and this person was as harsh as one could be about hillary clinton. i mean, he really leveled her as untrustworthy, not fit for the office, so you saw it on the

other side, too. the most interesting thing would have been if they would have taken their hit list to the white house if they had won and had the chance to play spoils politics, had the chance to parcel out favors, had the chance to build bridges some one place and perhaps not another. we'll never know, although perhaps might we know in 2016? do they take out that list, which also includes the asks successor john kerry. >> and a whole bunch of other people p.m. democrats and others made hay about nixon's enemies list that if that was not a good thing, how is this a good thing? >> it isn't a good thing, but i don't think it's such a bad thing. i think we assume that. the delineation of numbers, hearing john kerry on the list, i'm wondering where john lewis fits in, because he famously was a big clinton supporter, the congressman georgia civil rights leader. he left and supported barack obama.

did he get a free pass for the obvious reasons? but at the end of the day, if she is the nominee, people will back the nominee. i think that these sort of things dew happen you. just never want to be talked about in the same breath as richard nixon in politics and if that sticks, that could be harmful, but i don't think this is devastating news for hillary clinton. >> the big political news last week before the chris christie bridge gate stuff started happening was bob gates former secretary's memoir, and he isn't backing off his criticism of joe biden or congress but is softening things when it comes to hillary clinton. >> i think there's a difference in the senate and campaigning for office and when you have the responsibility of office, and when she had the responsibilities of office, i never heard her bring domestic politics into the issue. >> he's talking about about accusations that hillary and obama politicized their

opposition to the iraqi surge. the book till, though, and the defense secretary leaves the impression of an underlying disrespect and dismissal of senior leaders by the white house. could that hurt secretary clinton in 2016? >> the biggest question was raised by john mccain, a republican who wondered why did gates have to publish this book now while obama's still in office, showing a real lack of courtesy and respect to do this. he had a lot of good things to say about hillary clinton and the book filled with praise for her. he had that one comment about it was critical to her bringing politics into war decisions. hillary clinton and barack obama were about to run for president when this happened. politics is on your mind. >> hillary is writing a memoir in june, is that ok? it's not ok for gates, but all right for hillary? >> when you leave the administration, i think there is what i assume mccain eludes to,

a comfortable period of time that you wait to write the memoir about that administration. you're not going to sell books unless there are comments like you have, like scott mcclellan had to george w. bush to who he was a loyal soldier. i think that it's different with hillary clinton writing a book at she is probably preparing to run for president than it is for robert gates to write a memoir picking little things out about people in the administration at the time when they are in mid stream. >> obamacare, new numbers from the health and how many services show only 24% of the people signed up are between 18-34. studies show the program needs to get its proportion up to 40% to succeed financially. also, a third of obamacare are over 55 and close to the 80% signed up eligible for federal subsubsidies.

what does this significant about the economics going forward? >> there are real, real problems. to cap our session here by fleshing out another nixon analogy or reference, since you started this with nixon, follow the money, that's what deep throat told bob woodward. follow the money and what the insurers do. you had humana advising risks pool concerns. unless they have enough young healthy people, they are going to jack up rates. follow the money. up until now, the insurers have been in bed with the obama administration, very, very supportive. if one starts seeing, you know, come mid march, certainly the end of the march when the sign up period ends, if one sees some

fissures in the dam, there are real problems with this and we are still going to be left with when i found today going to see a doctor, the craziness of our privatized privately dominated health care system where you can go to one hospital in one end of the town and spend 10,000 more or less for the same surgery you can get in another part of town. but for now, the insurers are supportive, but these figures are going to make them very, very nervous. conventional wisdom from the obama administration, the young of slow to do this sort of thing, they're going to come aboard. a higher percentage of folks better come forward pretty quick or the economics of this are going to be rather challenging for the administration. >> i'm seeing nods agreeing with you from los angeles. great always to have you guys on the show. >> coming up, is russia undermining the brand new nuclear deal with iran. >> many journalists risk lives

to bring back a shocking look at north korea. we'll bring you the foot acknowledge. >> tracking the top stories on the web. what's trending? >> one company is making its illegal for some couples to hold hands in public. that simple sign of affection could carry a 10 year prison sentence. i'll tell you what secretary of state john kerry had to say about that matter. what do you think? check us out on twitter and facebook. activists show the

>> just as the historic deal to cap iran's nuclear program is set got to underway, iran and russia reportedly negotiate inge an oil for goods swap that would let iran increase its oil exports substantially in defiance of western sanctions, as president obama threaten to say veto new sanctions gaining momentum in the senate. >> i sent a message to congress that now is not the to him for us to impose new sanctions, now is the time for us to allow the diplomats and technical experts to do their work. >> for more, i'm joined by the research director at the national iranian research

council. here in new york, we're joined by david rhode. >> great to have you both back on the show. david, the white house is saying it's no the happy with this new deal between iran and russia. reuters broke the story. what do you know about this and how much danger is that this thing vitalling the western sanctions is going to scuttle the whole nuclear deal? >> i think it's a big deal. they're talking about this barter agreement could lead to a 50% increase in the amount of oil that iran is able to sell abroad, and it really could undermine things. the dangers of a chain reaction where this deal happens between iran and russia for the senate

to enact new sanctions. >> it creates a vicious circumstance jewel suspicions on all sides. >> the politics of this, it could be defeated politically on both sides. there's growing momentum for sanctions in congress, despite the fact that harry reid said he's not going to bring a vote to the table. what do you think is going to happen if there continues to be bipartisan pressure to increase the sanction honest iran? >> i think that now that members of the senate are getting a sense of what's in the bill, they're having increased conversations with the white house, you're starting to sense a little bit of trepidation. even people who are co sponsors of this bill are starting to say well, i want to hear the assessment of america's intelligence committee. they know full well what was said, because they said it weeks ago, new sanctions would torpedo the deal. your starting to see a little bit of cold feet. >> why is the wall street journal then saying according to

their reporting that there may be a veto proof number in the senate for the sanctions? >> i've heard 67, 59, 50. at the end of the day, what we really need to keep our eye on is wednesday when president obama sits down with the senate democratic caucus and get to the weeds of the deal and try to equip them with the information they need to support the diplomatic track and the deal but also peel away people who might be doubters or some fence sitter to say try a make sure the united states can live up to its end of the bargain. >> let's look at the deal and politics on the iranian side. the agreement restrict's ires nuclear in richment, address inspections, there's a time table to reach a permanent accord, this is only temporary. iran gets $6 billion to $7 billion in sanction relief over those six months and secretary of state john kerry admitted that the next phase

will be very hard. >> the negotiations will be very difficult, but they are the best chance that we have to be able to resolve this critical national security issue peacefully and durably. >> eye rap keeps saying that they have not given up their right to enrich and continue the tough talk after this agreement was reached. the iranian deputy foreign minister told iranian state t.v. that they will never dismantle our nuclear centrifuges and someone else said a lot of this stuff, they're unplugging it for now, but be back where they were before. >> the key thing is in richment, will the rye iranians have ability to enrich for a peaceful nuclear program. the administration has signaled that they would accept that, but the government of israel and american senators have said no, they want a deal with no enrichment, no centrifuges, nothing.

that's the key, can they bridge that gap, will the u.s. congress agree that they can have some form of enrichment. observers say that the reality is that they have to have some coffee nuclear program. >> do you think the hardliners in iran can scuttle this no. >> absolutely, hardliners in washington and tehran could scuttle this, no question. what we've seen on the iranian side is an unprecedented political coalition put together and unpress democraticked backing from a diverse swath within the rye iranian political system. that's been key to deliver the iranian end of the bargain up to this point. both sides are always going to have hardliners. the trick is how can we buck them in to make sure a sustained diplomatic process is carried out the same way it works every else in the world. >> separate issue with respect to iran is the nuclear deal

begins january 20, but 2 days later, syrian peace talks begin in geneva and iran, which has been strongly behind bashar al assad's government in the civil war in syria. they are saying that they want to be included in these talks. let's listen to iranian foreign minister. >> these parties look at all the he was undertaken to prevent the participation of iran to find a solution and an end to the syrian crisis. >> david, any chance this is going to happen? foreign minister in britain said unless they agree that assad has to go, they shouldn't be there. >> it's an interesting question, because essentially, iran is calling the west's bluff. the u.s. says we want a change, we want assad out but not willing to use military force in syria where iran is sending huge amounts of weapons, got hezbollah fighters on the ground, moscow backing assad

much more aggressively than the u.s. i think that likely, iran will not go to the peace conference and likely there will not be a peace agreement. >> iran is becoming a very serious player in that region. is that part of i don't what they're negotiating for? they are causing problems in bahrain. >> i think since the iranian revolution in 1979, the united states and european allies has sought to exclude iran from the table. iran has essentially forced itself to the table. that there is no shortage of issues in this part of the world that cannot be solved without iran at the table. for the past 10-20 years, we've tried to solve them without iran and haven't been able to. the only thing we haven't tried is talking to them. they are doing things we don't like. it's how do we get them to stop. diplomacy provides a realistic option for that to top.

john kerry has continued to allude to that at the podium especially in the days and week we have seen. >> thank you for being on the show tonight. >> now to north korea and kim jong-un, ruling the world's most isolated country with an iron 50. so it is rare to get a films of what life is really like inside the secretive country. a new documentary featuring footage smuggled out of the country by ordinary people lace bare the shocking poverty, the overwhelming amount of propaganda and stirrings of dissent against the regime. >> these are pictures kim jong-un doesn't want the world to see. undercover footage show people all over the country being forced to prove their dedication to the new leader. the undercover footage even show

as local official criticizing kim jong-uns succession. >> for more, i'm joined by james jones, the directors of the p.b.s. front line documentary secret state of north korea which debuts tuesday evening on pbs. some of this footage is extraordinary, considering how secretive this country is and how little information we get out, hearing people complaining about the regime. what were the layers involved here in getting these tapes out of north korea. >> right. obviously there's no free press, it's tightly controlled by the state. some foreign journalists can get in, but are shown what the regime wants the word to see, the military parades, flashy new ski resorts, maybe the occasional freak show like dennis rodman. we wanted to find out what life was like, so teamed up with a japanese journalists who has a

network of ordinary people who film using hidden camera. once we got this foot acknowledge on memory cards, smuggled these across the chinese border. we filmed going to the china border meeting his agents, getting that footage and reviewed the footage with him. >> this requires incredible bravery. if they are cow, they could be sent to one of those concentration camps that are unbelievable, one referred to in the documentary, you found it's the size of washington, d.c. >> throw times the size of washington, d.c. whenever you do undercover filming, you take all precaution to insure their safety, but in this case, it really is life or death, you know, these people would most likely be executed. >> these camps are horrific. them not just send the violated person, they will take generations of the family. >> three generations of the family. that's the way they stay in power is fear that if you step

out of line, it's not only you, but your whole family could end up in the camps. >> you showed devastating poverty, chirp begging, food is very scarce. let's listen to some of the documentary. >> the united nations says the country is vulnerable to food short automobiles and more than three quarters of the population don't have enough food to eat. >> just heartbreaking, a child kicked out, 13 living on the streets. there is just tremendous that poverty and tremendous hunger. >> absolutely. i mean, it's lots of the pictures we saw, it's like back in mid evil times.

it's ox drawn carts and sole injuries, traditionally who are the most well off, treated well by the government, even they were starving. we saw countless stories, the children particularly upset i go, but it's widespread. >> you start getting, you have a number of situations where people are complaining about the government, even talking about rebelling, which is something that you think or at least in the past we thought didn't exhaust in north korea. >> this was what was really surprising listening to the foot acknowledge. still not in public, people are not gathering and demonstrating on the streets, but certainly in private conversations behind closed doors, people are voicing unhappiness. a new kind of 166, which is surprising for north korea. >> you showed smugglers taking d.v.d.s back into north korea. the hope is this will create more awareness of how much better things are outside?

>> absolutely. it's the best way of breaking the regime's spread of the propaganda. if people see the outside world, they see tall buildings, people driving cars, people eating meat, in one moment everything they've been told their entire lives is a lie. >> there's problem began da, including movies showing missiles hitting new york. they have speeches of kim jong-un just blaring over and overand overagain on that the streets and statutes, tens of thousands of his father and grandfather and people have to bow to them when they pass. >> it's pervasive. the only decoration you're allowed on your wall is a picture of kim jong-il and from school up wards, it's weekly meetings where you have to glorify the leaders. it's hard to escape that prop began at a. >> it's amazing in this day and age that a country like that

continue to say exist and somehow thrive to some extent. appreciate it, the documentary is on tomorrow night on pbs, called the secret state of north korea. >> as you know, this is a story we've covered twice and today a significant development, after seven months delay nigerian president signed a bill that goes much further than a ban on same-sex marriage. an excerpt of the law reads: >> even just a meeting of two gay people is criminalized. secretary of state john kerry expressed keep concern on behalf of the united states:

>> america isn't alone. the british government threat thatted to withdraw aid to any african count arery that violates gay rights, which may not have the full intention in this case. you can read more at the website, and needless to say, tensions are high worldwide on this story. >> it's a story we've covered for a while and we found suit dan, some homosexual acts can lead to life in prison, so it's even more extreme than in nigeria. >> straight ahead, on line reviews could undergo major changes. why yelp is getting unwanted help. >> a plane barely makes a safe landing, coming closing to going off the runway and over a cliff. the problem? it landed at the wrong airport. >> later, america's most popular

pickup truck loses weight. why it's lighter body could impact the auto industry.

>> should you worry about swiping your credit card when you go to a store? what began as the theft of 40 million credit card numbers in a cyber attack against target has now grown to include possibly hundreds of millions of customers across a number of stores, including niemann marcus and three other retail chains

that have yet to be named. as our economy grows to depend more and more on the internet, what can companies do to protect customers and will any amount of security protect us from the hackers. >> do you trust on line reviews? a decision by a virginia judge might make them a thing of the past. joining us now from san francisco is the cyber security and hacker reporter for the wall street journal, who is targeting these companies? is it one person or a group behind them all or something that's common enough that it can be done by a number of hackers? >> the answer is both. investigators are still looking into it in both the u.s. secret service and a unit at verizon communications investigating. they have not outed any particular group as the group behind this, but people i've talked to who used to be in federal law enforcement, familiar with hacker investigations say what's

happening here where you're stealing a bunch of credit card numbers is all the hall marks of something tied to organized crime which they use as a source of revenue. >> that won't hurt consumers, if it's just the credit card numbers there indemnified by they're basically not charged for what people use their credit cards for that they didn't do, but is the big danger here identity theft? >> that is a possibility here, not necessarily on its own, but, you know, in the case of target, in addition to 40 million payment cards stolen, some 70 million customers had other personal data, such as, you know, full names, home addresses, email addresses, things like that, and those are all, you know, pieces of our life on line that taken together can be used to impersonate

someone. credit card companies will often make you whole if you fell victim to something like this, there is a lag time. in the case of target, which was disclosed right before the christmas holiday, there were people who cannot be made whole in time in order to finish holiday shopping for do last minute travel. at the very least, it is an inconvenience for consumers. >> it's a big vin convenience to have to substitute a credit card. i was one of those 40 million who shopped at target. i never heard a peep out of the company. is there anything to do to protect yourself or do we have to depend on the retailers and banks no. >> that's being debated in washington. if you are a large public corps rates, at what point do you have to go tell the public, in the case of target, this was originally broken by cyber security blog before target was forthcoming about it. what you can do as a consumer is, you know, you don't have to wait for the monthly statement

from your credit card or bank. especially if you were shopping at a store in the news, check on line, look for charges to places you've never heard of or that may or may not be in the u.s. from there, approach that financial institution and decide whether or not you need a new card. >> a big complaint is that we're not doing enough, that the banks are not doing enough to put chips in credit cards and maybe have us use pins as is done in other parts of the world. i want to move on to this other story making waves in the world of the internet. it's a court decision that came down in virginia, the on line business review site yelp, the judge said has to share the identity of anonymous commenters who posted negative reviews. what do you think about this? i think most people think well, you know, this is no big deal. this isn't a first amendment issue. why should people review things

anonymously and trash companies and possibly l. >> bel them without putting their name. >> this is something large internet companies disagree with. yelp hired its first lobbyist this fall to try to get legislation on this. they view lawsuits like this having a chilling effect on free speech on line. maybe in this case, you're talking about a local business, but if you start getting into some of the other stories you guys cover, such as, you know, protests overseas or things like that, you know, a lot of that on line speech is made not with real names. >> appreciate you joining us to talk about these issues and look forward to having you back. >> thank you so much. >> imagine hearing i'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, we have landed at the wrong airport. that those were the words heard by shocked passengers after a

rough landing left them seven miles away from their destination. this is the second time a large jet liner has landed at the wrong airport in as many months, prompting many to wonder how these incidents could be happening with so much at stake, including the lives of several hundred people. joining us in an aviation attorney and former inspector general with the department of transportation. mary, great to have you with us. i read a quote where you said this kind of thing happens all the time. >> it happens all the time when you're flying with visual flight rules and most of these kinds of incidents are with generally the aviation pilots and student pilots. it doesn't happen often with a fully loaded jet liner with 200 apparentlies onboard, because there are more rules. they have to communicate with the tower. they have to have a lighted runway. they have lots more instruments in the cockpit than general aviation pilots often do. while it happens a lot, it

doesn't happen with fully loaded jet liners on a commercial flight. >> this southwest flight was heading to branson but landed at a small local airport used by charter flights. in november, we saw a 747 cargo plane landing at the wrong airport in kansas. i've got a g.p.s. system in my car. i've got an iphone in my pocket that can take me anywhere i want to go within a few yards of where i want to be. how does this happen to a multi-million dollars piece of technology like a big jet liner? >> because you're watching your g.p.s. because you want to get to your destination. in the case of a jet liner or small plane, once the tower says you are cleared for a visual approach, in other words, you are switched from following your instruments to following your eyes, once you have that clearance, you are allowed legally to watch where you're going and go where you're watching. certainly one have other strums

you should monitor, but it is legal to land by simply visual flight cues. now there were many, many instruments in this 737 700 cockpit, a very advanced cockpit that would have told them precisely where they were within a few feet but clearly they were not monitoring that equipment. >> in this case, the tower at branson was closed. >> this is a bit of a agreement on that. they did communicate with the tower and they did get the clearance and they were supposed to communicate once they landed. when they landed, they believed that they communicated with the branson tower. we'll have to find out who they really did communicate with. the second miss city is what about the lighted runway. it was in the middle of the any. a commercial passengerrer service jet are supposed to land at a lighted runway. you turn on the lights by keying your make crow phone.

someone must have turned on the lights with their mic. that's another issue they're going to have to resolve. >> there are cut backs with air traffic controllers and towers closed now going back three decades. how worried do we need to be that that could lead to more cases like this. >> what people don't realize, in the united states of america, we have almost 20,000 airports and 5,000 of them are public use airports and yet only 513 air traffic control towers. we have one more than we had last year, so i guess we didn't get the closures. pilots are trained to fly without that. here, sometimes even if you have an air traffic control tower, you can still land at the airport. there's an airport in florida near mcdill, getting a lot of their traffic. it happened in one of the greek islands recently. when i was in flight school, we had a t.w.a. jet land at our little airport. the runways look similar, same

compass heading, same east-west location. i don't think tower closings had anything to do with it. a good pilot can land with or without the tower, even though a tower's better. >> very fortunate in this case they did not go off that runway and managed to land safely. awfully scary situation. thank you very much for joining you guess. >> straight ahead, teen pregnancy rates drop in a big way. does m.t.v. have something to do with it? >> your ride to work could change soon. the new advances from the floor of detroit's international auto show.

town. the boat was overloaded are refugees, many women and children. heavy fighting has been reported today in the city as rebel forces attempt to seize the town. control of the town has changed hands twice since that conflict began last month. >> sectarian violence in the central african republic has claimed 1200 lives, displacing thousands of relatives and people there. entire villages have fled, hiding in the bush from christian and muslim militias. some villagers who left are now starting to return. >> people have fled, houses burnt down. these village have suffered attack after attack. in this settlement, near the town, hundreds of people emerge from the bush for the visit of a

blame. it is found the reality show 16 and pregnant and spin off teen mom had a sizeable impact on the declining teen birth rate. researchers looked at google searches and tweets as the show aired along with birth rates for girls 15-19. they claim the shows and their cautionary tales were contributing to a 5.7% drop in teen pregnancy in the year and a half after 16 and pregnant debut the in 2009. more than seven out of 10 teens have watched the show, and the research says that's led them to search for the term birth control on line. there's room for skepticism about the impact. the teen pregnancy rate had been on the way down for more than two decades. in 2012, less than 30 out of 1,000 teen u.s. girls gave birth. that's a 52% trop from 1991 when

nearly 62 out of 1,000 teens got pregnant. the impact of the mtv shows also hit after the financial collapse, which had already sent underage parenthood plummeting. any decline is welcome. the ill effects of teen pregnancy are well counted, 30% of teen girls who drop out of high school site pregnancy or panthood as a main reason. kids who got pretty good that want are more likely to suffer health and cognitive disadvantage and live in poverty. the research also shows the kids of teen parents eventually become teenage parents themselves. >> coming up, why your life inside your car is about to change. we'll go to detroit for this year's auto show, next.

>> there are new rides and together following this at 2014 north american international auto show, but there's as much as story for what is not discussed as what is being talked about. for more, let's bring in the car coach prom the floor of the car show in detroit. lauren is a nationally recognized author and automobile expert. this must be like the superbowl for you, to appreciate you you taking the timeout to join us. >> in past years, green technology was the big excitement, it was huge at the auto show. that's not the case this year. why no. >> when you look at the overall sales of electric vehicles, or applying-ins, we all wanted them, but don't actually want to

purchase them. the total sales have shown not a high take rate for electric vehicles. because of that, manufactures have looked at other things that they can do in order to draw attention. what they're doing is using that hybrid power to go into audi and other vehicles. you're seeing hybrid technology that truly is performance oriented. >> we're seeing a comeback of diesel. it always had a bad reputation in the u.s. >> in the past it has. my generation and older, we thought of black smoke, high maintenance. that's all gone. the federal government changed the fuel, because it's not gasoline, it's fuel when it comes to diesel. they made it low carbon. now, it no longer pollutes. the cars had to come along with it, the chicken and egg theory. mostly the german manufacturers, all of them, exempt for mini, in addition to chevy, have

developed diesel vehicles that are 99% cleaner exhaust pipe emissions. what you're looking at is vehicles that are better fuel economy, that have longer distances between fill-ups and better resale values. according to research, it looks like 50% of the fleet, will be 50% of the cars by 2020. >> we are looking at fuel efficiency. one thing, big news out of there is the ford f150, the pickup truck which is the better selling car in the united states and has been for a very long time, best selling vehicle, right there behind you. what they've done is brought in a lot of aluminum, making the vehicle much lighter no. >> right. you think about aluminum, the average consumer thinks aluminum foil, that doesn't make sense, making it lighter and less safe.

military use heavy gauge aluminum, lighter than steel, stronger than steel and allows better fuel economy, because now you're improving the fuel economy by five miles to the gallon and lightening the total weight of an f series truck by 500 to 700 pounds. it makes it strong, capable, and there's different engines and drive lines, but they redesigned the trucked. that is a huge, huge story here. >> doesn't it raise issues about how tough it will be and how much it can haul, and, you know, oftentimes you get into a luxury car, one of the things that makes it feel like a luxury car is it feels weightier than cheaper cars. >> some of it is just the way the steering input is and handle is. in this case, it's actually a lighter vehicle. a lot of new vehicles, mike mercedes, bmw, a you had de, lincoln, using a lot of aluminum

already, you just don't know it. it makes it more rilable, a greener choice. it is-wise of ford to come up with this. they are working to make a top quality aluminum which is military grade. i'm looking forward to test driving it, which we'll get to do soon. >> the truck of the year was not the ford with, it's the competitor, chevy silverado. >> this vehicle wouldn't be eligible for the north american car and truck of the year until next year, because it has been released to the public in 2014. what was released during 2013 was the car and truck of the year, both g.m. products with, the silverado, which is a beautiful truck, has been completely redesigned and revamped. they did a nice job. it was time for a change. also, the corvette which is a beautiful piece. that they're selling way above sticker. everybody wants one. they released two today, so that was pretty exciting, as well. that if you're a performance car

person. >> a lot of performance cars making a comeback, the corvette won car of thor. >> absolutely, so now g.m. won both. the new c.e.o. is very excited. i'll try and interview her. these are exciting cars people want. the silverado and corvette are cars people are going to want. >> it is the new unveiling of the female c.e.o., so that is a big deal. how about the area of technology and cars? >> you are seeing connectivity and mobility. nine out of 10 of the top manufacturers were there and showcasing and droid platforms as well as relationships with at&t and verizon, also with a chip company that does all the multi media interface that you'll see in audi and other

mavars, but they produce for everybody. they're totally not one brand or another, but these chips so small, they used to be a huge bank, now are small, bring high speed wi-fi to your car. people want to take their devices into their cars. in order to meet the need and demand of consumers saying i want this connectivity, this mobility in my car, this is where you're seeing the marriage of electronics and automotive. that's a feature, including lighting design and new technologies. you'll be seeing that at consumer electronics and the auto show. >> you'll be driving a computer. that will raise issues of privacy, too. >> absolutely. you think about your average car has got about 24 computers and 100 micro processors. the average consumer has no idea unless you have a problem with that and immediate to replace it. you think about safety issues, i

got a problem somebody hacked my mail, how are they going to separate this. these systemles are separate. they're almost built like a sandwich. initially, we had anti lock brakes, that's a separate system prom the navigation system, separate from the airbags and seatbelts. each system has its own and each manufacturer is investing heavily in placing firewalls to protect consumers and their cars. we've all seen the cars that have been hacked on you tube, but in reality, to do that, you'd have to as disassemble a. they are putting fire walls in place for not only your protection, our protection but everybody on the world. >> it's a new world. that have a great week this at the show. >> consider this may be over, but the conversation continues at aljazeera.com/consider this object on our facebook or google plus pages and on twitter. we'll see you next time.
