9:07 pm
others don't do the job, we'll do the job. as we said, ain't no power like the power of the people, because the power of the people don't stop. >> in an unusual twist the board refused to adopt recommendations made by its own staff. >> we thought it would pass, it's proactive rather than reactive model. it was a disappoint. >> environmental activists in richmond say chevron has a history of polluting the city with impunity. henry clark is the director. west county toxic coalition, an environmental justice group working on behalf of minorities. >> a lot of people have a move not only because of an issue relating to crime, but
9:08 pm

>> peggy is one of many fewer patients suffering resist pier atry problems. blaming them on years of exposure. >> sometimes i come outside and the air is so thick it takes my breath away. >> john is an expert on environmental health science at the university of california berkeley, who studies the impact of air pollution. though richmond's choould hood as -- childhood rates are twice the national av r -- average, he's says it's not fair to compare them. >> kids in richmond do have an increased risk of developing asthma in event like the chevron fire could be an exacerbating

9:11 pm
hard-won momentum to hold the country accountable may be lost. >> the town means a deal to you. were you worried? >> absolutely. >> i know for a fact that chevron will put more money than ever into this year's electoral season. in 2012 they put $1.2 million into campaigns to attack our candidates. i know that they will be working harder than ever to turn this back. so will we. you are up for the fight. >> i'm up for the fight. we cannot go backwards. >> since the chevron fire, courtenay kumings moved further away from the refinery. the trauma of that dark day in augustlingers, and moves -- august lippingers and moves her to speak up. >> when chevron happened, the
9:12 pm

9:13 pm
9:14 pm
>> across north america there
9:15 pm
was a shark decline in iconic populations. something killed the moose. the famed residents of north-west minnesota. biologists say some animals dropped dead. they don't know why. adam may travelled to the heart of moose country to see what is being done to save them. >> it's a race against time to save the moose in northern minnesota. the population rapidly moving from endangered to near extinction in this hart of the country. >> if we continue at this trajectory we'll be out of moose in 2025. biologist michelle carstensen and her team are scrambling to find out why the ma'am oath mammals are dying at an alarming rate. >> this one travelling with her calf is being corralled into a state research project led by michelle carstensen. the study the largest of its
9:16 pm
kind anywhere in the world. >> first they are tranquilized from the air, and then a team of researchers get up close to take samples. >> the research team is taking blood samples from the cow. they have taken hair samples and are measuring the animal for the research. >> the moose is then outfitted with a gps collar that tracks her movements. if the animal stops moving the research team gets an alert. >> this has a motion sensitive trigger formatality. as long as it's moving it's in live mode. if it's motion less it goes into mortality mode, and it's able to transmit the message to our
9:17 pm
smartphones. >> then what do you do? >> then we are ready to respond. >> the aim is to get to the moose within 24 hours of staff. the whole goal is to get a whole carcass out, bringing it to the university of minnesota, to get the best look. >> the 1,000 pound animals can die anywhere, and they have high levels of body fat that their bodies decompose quickly. this year the team collared more than two dozen moose, and they don't travel in herds. trying to find them is difficult. trent brown is a gunner, leaping out of a helicopter, collaring
9:18 pm
moose five times his size. how crewious are you as to what is happening with the moose? >> very curious. we are doing a small part. we are here for a few days and we help catching them. it's the biologists from minnesota trying to answer the questions. >> the $2 million state-funded promote is in its second year. minnesota's department of natural resources gets up in a helicopter and does a survey. the numbers in the north-eastern section of the state have gone from 8,000 to around 3,000 and the dramatic drop off took place in under 10 years. >> last year biologists found a moose mortality rate of 20%. that's almost double what it should be. >> we don't know the main driver. getting to the health-related ones. wolves are having an impact. that's no surprise. there's a healthy wolf
9:19 pm
population, and have for a long time. on the house related side there's liver fluke. brain worm, and, you know, we see winter ticks, and are seeing unknowns. >> we are talking about more than half-a-dozen things that contribute, but you haven't been able to nail down a cause. >> no. we are trying. it will take time. our change is do we have enough time before there aren't moose left in minnesota to answer the questions. photographer nace lives in the heart of moose country. he says he barely sees moose any more. >> back 10 years ago you see 10 or 12. or a group of four here and another group of four. >> you don't see it any more.
9:20 pm
>> i saw a single one the other night. that's where i notice it, us won't see the amounts like that. that's the easiest way for me to know that it's very different. >> hagelman spend hours hiking in the woods looking for the moose. >> when i look for them my eyes see differently into the woods, i learn what it will look lick that others don't see. >> i watch the ears. sometimes it's 100. sometimes it's within 20 feet. i stand next to the truck. i had them come close. it is more curious and walked within a lane. 15-20 feet away, something like that. >> he sells his photos online
9:21 pm
and is hopeful the research will stave the moose he has grown to love. >> it's part of what feels wild about the area draws me and a lot of people to the areas that the wolves - that assist the north. moose have been roaming the landscape. the monarch is an icon. they move at their own pace. we are too rushed. we should take a lesson. chill out. is it a bad thing? here the animal's image adorns everything - from t-shirts to coffee cups. >> there's moose everything. in counter with the moose is thought to be magical and folks that have the encounters talk about it for years to come. just the idea of driving up
9:22 pm
here, knowing moose are there, hoping to see one, having anticipation is something that minnesota wants. >> for scientists there are reminders that the moose in the woods are in danger. >> how was the moose behaving. how is it different to normal. >> the heads were tilted to the left. >> we were able to walk up to the animal within 10 feet away, within five feet away. it didn't try to get away from us. it walked in circles, was not aware of our appearance. we went out with a team on the ground and got it down to the veterinary diagnostic lad to get a conclusive diagnosis. >> seth is a biologist, for a native american tribe near the border. >> moose is a primary species. they are very, very interested in understanding what is causing
9:23 pm
declines from a national resources standpoint. he's working with the state using the same gps collars. he's been studying moose for years, and thinks much of what is happening can be linked to global warming. >> you think humans are to blame for this? >> yes, i do. >> i believe it's a reflection of our climate. the things affecting moose are parasites. deer increase under warm temperatures, to things affecting moose. including winter ticks. they are high and indicative of warming climate. >> michelle carstensen says she needs to collect more information before saying anything for certain, but says climate change is entirely possible. warming winters, that's the hardest thing for a moose.
9:24 pm
it has a coat on, which is thick and dense. that's how they evolve, to have a coat like that. yet if all of a sudden they are having warmer winter they can't help with the heat. >> they are planning to use transmitters to check the temperature of the moose. one thing agreed on is the rapid decline of moose in minnesota could mean trouble ahead. >> most concerning is we may see declines of other species. >> moose is a keystone species. we know an animal like this, if there's change impacts, it would be shown up first in animals like moose in minnesota. >> moose populations across north america declining. all eyes on state of the art research, hoping to solve the
9:25 pm
moose mystery before it's too late. >> we are sent this update. minnesota released an aerial population survey. it's estimated there's more than 4,000 in the state. it is higher than last year, but the trend points downward. they hope that the collaring process will track and mid gait the slide. after a break, a visit to cannabis country. the business of pot in the netherlands. could the pioneer in the industry offer lessons to u.s. states joining in now.
9:26 pm
9:27 pm
9:28 pm
>> it's been a month since colorado's recreation marijuana law took effect. that's few doze in licences, consumers have descended to colorado to get high legally. >> lori jaip gee har travelled to the netherlands to see what we can learn about recreational pot use, they have had that for nearly 30 years. >> in amsterdam there's plenty of places to purchase pot.
9:29 pm
>> it's easy and open. everyone is so welcoming. they are so normal here. it's comfortable. >> with the 17th century building, lining the canals, the capital city is a magnet for millions of visitors, many drawn by the easy access to marijuana. >> there's about 200 coffee shops like this throughout amster dam. even though it says coffee shop, it's where people buy marijuana. >> we provide people with cannabis and hashish in their spare time. >> jason owns one of the most famous coffee shops in the count
9:30 pm
rip. you way have seep it -- seen it featured in "ocean 12." why do people come here? >> we sell hash and weed. 80% of what we sell is cannabis. >> the idea behind the approach is that street dealers that sell hard drugs will be put out of business if licensed businesses can provide soft drugs, marijuana and hashih. in the netherlands, it's been this way since the '70s. >> describe how you do what you do. what is the law. what do you sell here? >> there's a difference. it's not legal. it's tolerated. and as a coffee shop you get a licence or permission so sell cannabis. >> we asked ron to show us his
9:31 pm
stash. >> the people behind the bar are dealers. >> yes. >> each business is restricted to having 500 grams on the premises and customers are limited to buying d 5 grams each. >> this is roughly 5 gram. >> how many joints can you make about it. >> personally, three out of a gram. >> the netherlands once tolerated the sale of six times what they do. in 1996 they reduced it. in colorado residents can buy more than five times what is allowed in the methamphetamine. >> we asked the mayor whether he felt comfortable with that. >> it was those concerns in amsterdam that fuelled with those of us in opposition. i spent time as a young
9:32 pm
professional. i had a chance to see and know about their implementation of their marijuana laws. >> mayor hancock who opposed legalizing marijuana says changes may have to be made. >> there'll be a lesson learnt. when you do a new law, this is a huge culture shift for not only colorado, but the entire united states. there may be more lessons to learn. it may surprise you to know as progressive as the netherlands may seem, the pot laws are more restrictive than those in the american states where the use is legalized. in colorado, you can buy pot of infused candy and brownies. coffee shops in amsterdam can no longer sell as many. the shop is only allowed to carry space cakes, because
9:33 pm
marijuana-laced food can be hard to handle for new consumers. >> that's one of the side effects, that your sugar level drops and people faint. it's not what people want in amster dam. that they are laying around and gasping for air or something. i don't know how to explain it. >> have you seen them gasping for air. denver hancock says he worries about being young inexperienced as well. >> something they eat may give them an impact or cause and effect. the laws restrict how shop owners transport marijuana into the stores. the netherlands adheres to a 1961 un convention which banned
9:34 pm
countries from exporting large quantities of drugs. it leaves sellers in a position where he can sell it, but can't grow it. >> how do you know where the marijuana comes from. i talk to the people, about which quality i want. they take care of that. where do they get it? >> they get it on the black market. they talk to the growers. all that is illegal. so, yes, maybe it's better that i don't know. >> amsterdam mayor rarely talks to american media. he sat down with "america tonight" to discuss his country's drug laws. >> it is semilegitimate. you can use it, and coffee shops can sell it to users in small amounts, but we have what we call a backdoor problem.
9:35 pm
it is still forbidden to transport it in huge amounts. so this is what we call tolerate. and that is because many people think that international rules and regulations forbid us to find legal ways of organising the back door situation. that is advantage of our current system. we have learnt to live with it. living with it means police tolerate the crackdown on marijuana farms. in january, underneath the shed, dutch police discovered an illegal marijuana farm containing 1200 plants. police conduct about 5,000 marijuana raids like this annually throughout the count rip. there are signs that some in this country are pushing back against the permissive drug culture. over the past few years a
9:36 pm
conservative party in the coalition government worked to eliminate drug tourism. it passed a law banning foreigners like jazz wood from entering coffee shops. >> do you think it's a big deal if they said no to tourists. >> yes. you wouldn't be able to go to a holiday where you can smoke freely. it will be more - it will be more pointless here. there's a lot of people coming for cannabis. it will be a big difference. >> some cities pushed back, so the government allowed discretion in whether the new law is enforced. amsterdam's coffee shops attract people from all over the world. they are a significant part of the economy. it's why mayor made a compromise with the government to avoid imposing the ban. he promised to reduce the number of coffee shops and to force
9:37 pm
those within 250 metres of middle schools to limit hours or close. >> the coffee shops are too close to the old schools. that is the wrong idea. a school or playground or children next to a coffee shop. >> we are doing a lot of effort to reduce the alcohol drinking amongst the under age. the same goes for the use of cannabis and wheat. it's no good for the brain. >> michael's failing shop could be one of the first to close. he's the spokesman of cannabis retailers' association. his shop is one street away from a private school. >> you'll pretty much have to stop what you do there. >> that's why i bought a second coffee shop not affected by that rule.
9:38 pm
so my customers, regulars from over the world can purchase the cannabis at a different location. >> as the laws in the united states are starting to loose ep up when it comes to marijuana use, it seems like things are becoming restrictive. why do you think that is? >> it's an ebb and flow in the political landscape. that's why i think to a lot of politicians in the netherlands, who are only nationally centered in their thoughts and in their knowledge, that it came as a surprise that the united states has now leap frogged this country. ahead on "america tonight", outside amsterdam, the backlash against the pot culture. >> i must ask you to stay over there, because you are a nonresident of the country and not allowed to come into the
9:39 pm
coffee
9:40 pm
9:41 pm
snoop now >> now we return to a look at a pot pion year, lori jaip gliha found some dutch communities are pushing back on the spread of a permissive pot culture. >> welcome to the coffee shop. >> this is as far as i go. >> this is as far as you can go. i can go into the coffee shop,
9:42 pm
but must ask you to stay there because you are a nonresident of the country and not allowed to come into the coffee shop. >> mark is a coffee shop owner. in maastricht. it is at the heart of a backlash against the marijuana policy. the mayor is forcing the ban on foreigners to buy marijuana. >> they are not in to use the toilet or bathroom. i'm forced to discriminate, and i cannot understand why. >> maastricht it not far from germany, luxembourg and france. thousands of foreigners make stops, many coming to the marijuana business mark has
9:43 pm
owned. it's called easy going. it's a laid-back place for a fix. 90% of his customers crossed the border too buy weed. now his coffee shop is closed. the city shut it down because he refused to honour the ban imposed by the mayor. "america tonight" requested an interview with the mayor, but he declined saying the law is under national review. a councilwoman did talk to us and explained why she's a supporter of the ban. >> the coffee shops were to provide the markets with small scale shops, not to supply netherlands, belgium, france, germany, to buy their products in the coffee shop. it was meant to the local market. it's too much for us to handle,
9:44 pm
so we had to take action. >> over the past couple of years, the number of foreign visitors tripled to three million. >> that, she says, causes crime and traffic jams. an influx of visitors is something denver mayor michael hancock wonders about. >> we are concerned about a lot of things when it comes to marijuana, and the use of it and the availability of it. what we can do best is put regulations in place, fund and equip the employees that will implement the regulations. everyone that utilizes access to the laws, whether they are visitors or residents, they have a responsibility to do it responsibly. >> in maastricht they say banning foreigners will not solve problems. the ban increases dangerous street dealers. >> there's about 150 street dealers roaming the streets,
9:45 pm
checking out if they can find a foreigner looking for cannabis products. if they find one, they'll take him away to the suburbs. the areas where people are living, children are playing in the streets, and that is the place where they do the deal. that's where they hand over the drugs and refuse the money. things have been saved enormously in a negative way. >> we understand that there still is dealing on the street, but the supply of dugs -- drugs is exceeding demand. i am sure the nuisance of dealing on the streets will decrease, because the demand is not there any more. for now machine's shop is shut down while he fights the rules in court. >> how does it affect your business? >> i've been a coffee shop owner
9:46 pm
for 30 years, so i've made by money. i'm fine. but coffee shops in other places were working 425 people that lost their jobs, and they cannot find a job anywhere else. if they are asked after their experience, they have to say, "i've been a drug dealer for 30 years." nobody will hire you if you give that as your experience. that's a problem. >> in amsterdam the mayor embraces the pod trade and the millions of -- the pot trade and the millions of tourists. >> what is happening in colorado is inspirational. >> the city that is a pioneer is looking for the u.s. for moral support. >> steams the dutch have to defend their policy. when the americans stand next to us, it will be accepted more
9:47 pm
internationally. assay welcome to the club, thank you for joining us. >> that was "america tonight"'s lori jane gliha. >> coming up, taking care of our parents. >> i don't want her to go through this. if she meself starting to decline, let me go to the desert, dry up and not come visit. >> the fuf decisions -- tough decision many of us have to face. a report on the silent army of children parenting parents. that will lead off op a look at ageing america monday on "america tonight". ahe ahead in this hour, growing hope. why this growing patch in the
9:48 pm
jordan valley may be the best path to peace.
9:49 pm
9:50 pm
>> finally, with a deadline looming with the israeli-palestine peace talks, diplomats are searching for an avenue for peace that may travel through the jordan valley. it's an israeli occupied strip.
9:51 pm
it could offer something of a solution for both sides. we have this report from nick schifrin from the jordan valley. >> all his life this man has lived in the jordan valley, and all his life he's been a farmer. with the help of his son he harvests egg plants. for the 53-year-old the land is not home. until he was six, he lived a few miles away along the jordan river. the 1967 war israel concurred the valley from jordan. they were forced to move to the fields. >> my home is down by the river. i consider the place where i grew up, where i was born, our land, where we used to be free. today they have the keys to the old home. they are are farmers, and beyond the security gate, where he tucks a gun into the pants, beyond the mile-wide security
9:52 pm
zone, he harvests date palms. this is a prize plot, a few hundred feet from the border with jordan. there's not much land. this is the only land that is available to walk and cultivate. >> the jordan valley is a flash point in the israeli peace talks. the u.s. is trying to create a security plan to ease israeli concerns and transition the valley from israeli to palestine control. >> we have to enter. the valley provides security yip. the area is flooded with mines through the valley. the sound of yejets, the air foe uses this. >> the palestinians are not allowed here.
9:53 pm
>> this is a bit silly if you have a palestine phoning the army, asking permission to go down to the border. it sounds silly. >> why is that. some of the land is palestine? >> it's my land. >> the story of palestine people is a story of a farmer who lost their land. >> down the road they are trying to take back the land one village at a time. for decades the doctor has been an activist. i've been studying what miartin loouther king did, what gandhi did. >> they need a viable economy. the jordan valley has the borders. we can have no import or export. they fight the occupation not with weapons. but with hammers and nails.
9:54 pm
he advocates nonviolence, and today he is trying to repopulate a village depopulated biest rail after 1967. >> the village was dead for 47 years. by bringing people back, we are bricking soil back to the land, bringing it to life. >> they slept in tents,ate cold break fasts and chant that the occupation needs to end, a few feet from armed israeli soldiers. a few hours later, about 1am, the soldiers moved in. they used stun grenades, they rounded up hundreds of activists but the protesters refused to be intimidated, near in an organization ambulance, they patched up a victim.
9:55 pm
other visits picked up where he left off. >> this is a new village than what we thought. >> this man says he's the rightful owners of the land. >> as soon as they opened the tents. calmly the soldiers arrested the activists, and they did not resist. >> by this nonviolent resistance we are trying to impose peace. we want the israeli establishment to understand that there is a price and cost of occupation and appetite. >> that price is being paid by israeli farmers. israel's settlement policy led to european's boycott. in the last year israeli farmers in the jordan valley lost 30
9:56 pm
million in sales. >> i came because i wanted to. >> they are willing to give up profits. israel is discussing permanently annexing the jordan valley. to show me why, high on the hill, through the bunker, the local mayor shows an abandoned military outpost. for his rail the point provide strategic depth. >> we are what really now stops anything vicious coming from the east. >> israel's resisting the u.s. plan to move israeli troops out and international troops in. israel insists on taking security in its own hands. >> i don't believe any prime minister will give up the jordan valley. for any agreement. because this is the security of israel. i don't see it happening in my life. i hope we have peace. we live, make a living with all the dreams, we have to bring
9:57 pm
pride to the table. >> so they'll be on the border and hozo and his family will live on land they don't consider their own. >> john kerry is more helpful in helping israel than helping palestinian people. >> until the u.s. find a solution, the dispute over the jordan valley will preventest railies and palestinians from finding peace. >> that's it for us here on "america tonight". if you would like to comment log tonne the website. you can meet the team and preview stories we are working on, and tell us what you'd like to see in the nightly current affairs program. join in the conversation at twitter or our facebook page.
