after being born. the crisis in ukraine deepens as diplomats search for solutions. a short time ago a crimean city the city of sevastopol, declares itself part of russia, referendum on march 16th to see if should be part of russia or ukraine. including sanctions, from the united states, to ukraine we are tracking the latest developments. let's begin now in crimea. jennifer glasse is in sevastopol which has just declared itself part of russia. jennifer, major news here, a city switching nationalities.
6:02 pm
here. >> not just any city, this city is home to russia's black sea fleet and ukraine's black sea fleet. those two navies are at a standoff. russian war ships are blockading the bay, the sevastopol city council made this surprise declaration this evening. it cited a number of haws and covenants that -- laws and covenants that try to make it legal. the ukrainian law and constitution on local governance, i think trying to ward off any questions about the legality of this. we heard president obama say today, the legality of the referendum isn't legal, against the constitution and isn't recognizable. things moving very fast here, the same day the crimean parliament voted to move up the
6:03 pm
referendum on secession to march 16th and also declaring itself part of russia. so crimea trying to make facts happen by default if you will and once that referendum happens on march 16th if the crimeans volt to be part of russia it is going to be very, very difficult to reverse things. complicated situation here. >> jennifer, correct me if i'm wrong, it seems like all those actions on the peninsula today have certainly pushed western powers to ramp up the action and pressure on russia. >> absolutely. we have seen the united states impose sanctions on russia and threatening more sanctions. the european union threatening sanctions, travel bans and financial sanctions and secretary of state john kerry had very harsh words for russia. >> we cannot allow russia or any
6:04 pm
country to defy international law with impunity. there is no place in the community of nations for the kind of aggression and steps that we have seen taken in crimea and ukraine in these last days. >> reporter: you know tony the real question is, what can the united states, what can europe really do about it? we have seen russia send thousands of troops into crimea, they are blockading the ports. we have thousands of sailors stuck on ships or in bases really with russian troops standing just across the street from them, preventing them from going inside or out. same things are happening at the headquarters. what can you do? now you have local governments here declaring themselves part of russia. >> that's a great question,
6:05 pm
jennifer glasse in sevastopol. john terret looking at the significance of march 16th. >> reporter: oh boy are you in the mood for a history lesson? >> the pot is being stirred. would you give us that lesson? >> this changes every single hour. history lesson, ukraine, capitol, kiev, and to the east, capitol moscow here, and the disputed peninsula of crimea. first of all, in 1954, the then soviet leader, nikita khrushchev, from moscow to kiev, still under the soviet system, nobody knows why he did that, he just did. once the iron curtain collapsed, the berlin wall collapsed in
6:06 pm
1989, and the, new constitution ukraine designated the crimea as a semi-autonomous region. here is a bit more history for you. because today ethnic reductions account for the majority of the population. many speak russian, above that at tatars, and others. pay attention, this is the warm water port of sevastopol, home to the kremlin's black sea fleet, smallest of their fleet, but it allows quick access to the immediat mediterranean see,e balkans and to the middle east. semi autonomous portion of the
6:07 pm
region, own parliament if you like 100 members in total called the supreme council of crimea, it has an executive power held by a small group of ministers and a chairman, he serves with a nod and a wink from the ukrainians. this is the important part of this. of course part of the judicial portion of the ukraine they have no autonomous authority whatsoever. that brings us up to speed where we are today. the crimean parliament have offered the people of crimea, to side with either kiev or moscow. as jen just told us, this is to be brought up in ten or 15 days or so. the problem is, no one knows if this is leel or not. according to bodies like united nations and european union, they're not sure whether it is.
6:08 pm
over and above the courts locally here in crimea work to ukraine not to russia. even if the people of crimea vote in favor of seceding and lining up with moscow, once again who knows whether that will actually stick in international law. tony put it simply, a complicated situation got more complicated. >> the plot thickens. >> moscow doesn't talk to kiev, kiev doesn't talk to moscow. >> i got a couple of tweets here. whenever we can let's break this town to its bare essentials, all right? >> in about a minute and a half or five minutes in my case. you know how it is. >> john appreciate it. thank you. earlier today the house of representatives approved a bill backing $1 billion in loan guarantees. mike viqueria joins us. mike, i can't imagine the senate won't sign on to this as well.
6:09 pm
but earlier the president spoke about what he called a path of deescalation in ukraine. break it down for us. >> right. the president secretary of state john kerry they have been talking about that for a while. on that house vote we might add it was an overwhelming majority. for all the partisan sniping, criticizing the president for allowing this to happen in the first place, we expect the stat to pick up a billion dollars of aid to be administered by the imf. two consecutive days between sergey lavrov, secretary of state john kerry haven't turned up any visible progress. it was felt the president should come out and convince the
6:10 pm
situation. let's hear what he has to say. >> let international monitors into all of ukraine including crimea to ensure the rights of all ukrainians are being respected including ethnic russians. begin consultations between the ukraine and russia. and russia would maintain its bases. and the world should support the people of ukraine as they move to elections, in may. that's the path of deescalation. >> reporter: and the president trying to strike a fine balance using the tools at his disposal within the united states, talking about that in a moment trying to provide vladimir putin with that off ramp that you have heard the president talk about to send those international
6:11 pm
monitors into crimea if the concern is wea really that ethnc russians are under some threat. >> and the president announced some sanctions didn't he? >> expanding the ban on visas for certain russians, they also authorized the president signed an executive order authorizing further sanctions, financial sanctions against some of those same individuals although they have not carried through with that yet. it's part of the dancing here, part of the diplomacy, they're holding that as a possibility to compel, cajole convince vladimir putin and others to diplomacy in crimea. >> mike viqueria, thank you. very little impact on vladimir putin. he is believed to be one of the wealthiest men in the world.
6:12 pm
david shuster joins us. >> vladimir putin addresses himself as a humble servant. he estimated his total net worth as less than $500,000. financial experts and analysts say his claims are absurd. he said years ago, putin set up his own commodities firm, a political scientist says putin is worth more than $70 billion. a third of all the shares in a top russian oil company and four and a half percent of gas prom, the largest gas providing company in the world. through the years though there have be been some glimpse of of putin's extravagance.
6:13 pm
his watch collection alone is worth $700,000. getting a precise figure on putin'putin's fortune is imposs. but worth $70 billion, puts him up with bill gates, the world's wealthiest man. >> i love how you put it, watch collection worth -- oh my goodness. david is part of a big special here on al jazeera. what you don't know about president vladimir putin. more on why he is worth billions. his work with the kgb and his rise to power. tonight at 8:30 and 11:30 eastern time. a bill to strip, sear use crimes failed to move forward today. the pentagon opposed the

6:20 pm
>> new cheating allegations in atlanta's public school system. parents are accused of falsifying documents so their children could attend one of the city's football powerhouse schools and play on the team. an investigation found at least four players used fake addresses to enroll at dpraidy hig grady . this comes after 13 educators
6:21 pm
are charged with changing test scores so they could collect bonuses. it could be a break through in hiv and aids. a second child in effected with hiv has no sign of the virus, being treated with drugs hours after being born. the baby is now nine months old. the news could re revolutionize communities stricken with the virus. treatment is based on detection. fewer than 30% of hiv exposed babies are treated within three weeks of being born. the elizabeth glazer
6:22 pm
foundation,.. >> access to mother to child transmission programs, in areas like subssaharan africa, or prevent or ablate infection in an already in effected infant are really the stumbling block. the mississippi baby, the mississippi child now is more than three years old and is currently off of hiv therapy and with no detectable signs of the virus. the infant in long beach is still on therapy and will continue to be on therapy. i heard information from the physician treating the infant they expect to keep the infant on therapy at least two years of age. the baby in mississippi was lost
6:23 pm
to follow up when the baby was 18 months old. the baby was treated with the triple drug cocktail, and wasn't found until six months later. at that time, they looked for hiv and could not find it and they still now three and a half years later are still not able to find hiv in that infant and that -- in that case therapy has not been restarted which is even more amazing. and what we would also hope to get to in every infant actually. >> we should tell you a clinical trial that will treat more than 50 newborns is set to begin in just a few months. is the recent big freeze still putting a chill on the economy? we are going to find out with the latest jobs report out tomorrow morning. "real money"'s ali velshi is here. what are you expecting?
6:24 pm
>> i would expect what a lot of economists are estimating. the estimates are for 150,000 net new jobs created in february. that would be all the jobs created minus all the jobs that are lost. now that would be better than january when only 113,000 jobs were created and december, which saw a very spoig spief,000 jobs -- disappoint 75,000 jobs created. above 115 to 150, would not be very good. 150 and above would be not too bad, 200 would be back in the department of what we would like to be. there was an average of 195,000 created every month, we get a hint about this, adp came in below expectation. that had all sorts of people wondering whether things were going to be worse than expected but then we got our initial jobless claims last week, today, and that was better than
6:25 pm
expected. economists are expecting the unemployment rate to stay at 6.6%. since we both had hair, back then, we thought, don't pay too much attention to that. they're feeling optimistic. the unemployment rate something everyone is going to talk about is something i the want to talk about least. >> what is the number that this economy needs from month to month for real growth to employ the people who are coming into the workforce? >> pretty good question. when you think about it, every month, people pass away, people retire. come of working age. bottom line, more people come of working age, 150,000 is the floor, and 200 thousand is healthy. that's why i think 200,000, we
6:26 pm
are cooking, 250 cooking with gas and 150 is water. people are buying and selling the rights to trade it. interesting story. >> ali velshi, coming up with "real money" on al jazeera america. we'll have the report with ali and the team, a spectacular view from the top of the world's tallest building in the western hemisphere right? time magazine mounted a camera on the spire of the top of the building. that camera took hundreds of pictures that were stitched together right? hundreds of photos stitched
6:27 pm
together digitally to create this panorama. it is an interactive view you can enlarge. can we see the -- look at this, terrific picture, redom tower fe tower and that spire in a beautifully clear night in manhattan. and coming up on al jazeera america. depending on how the crisis develops. we can look at that angle. and marines taking down, the program that helps disabled vets get into the disabled workforce.
6:30 pm
many leaders who is calling the referendum in crimea illegitimate. it still threaten to pull the fragile nation apart. john dlen reports. >> in simferopol, the news came as a triumph. dissent terse were dispatched with russian efficiency. >> i'm for crimea to be with ukraine. i don't want to join criminal russia. people watch television tell everyone about the real situation here. i am a simferopol resident. i was born and have been living in simferopol. >> but in the ukrainian capitol. still reveling in the aftermath the news that th that the crimen
6:31 pm
parliament voted to join russia is an outrage. >> putin's policy is unacceptable and wrong. everyone can see is destroying the reputation. >> crimea authorities an out law government. >> this is illettin illegitimate decision. and this so-called referendum has no legal grounds at all. that's the reason why we ask russian government not to support those who claim separatism in ukraine. crimea was, is and will be, an integral part of ukraine. >> here in kiev the revolutionary fervor is still intact and it is clear the parliament will reject any movement the crimean srveghts ce
6:32 pm
to move to russia. >> for me it's very sad news. i think crimea cannot be divided. i'm 100% for united country and crimea must be part of ukraine. >> also moved the date of a march 30th referendum, up two weeks to march 16th. for pro-russian crimeans, a long awaited return to the mother land. the move was the latest provocative volley in a war so far of peer words. john hendren, al jazeera, kiev. >> is there something to be gained by the united states for a split between russia and ukraine? a growing new industry, natural gas. last year ukraine imported more
6:33 pm
than 900 billion cubic feet from russia. in 2013, the u.s. produced listen to this, 5 trillion cubic feet more than the russians. america is now the largest gas producer in the world but ranks eighth i in exporting it. taking over could be worth tens of billions of dollars. all of those countries rely on appliance that run through ukraine. coral davenport is with us, she is an energy reporter with the new york times. coral is a friend of the program. good to see you. let's walk this out slowly, is the possibility there for the u.s. to become more of an exporter of natural gas to europe? >> absolutely. there is a big political push right now, especially from
6:34 pm
republicans, and from the oil and gas industry itself, for the u.s. to open up and start exporting natural gas overseas. there are now 21 applications from companies into the u.s. energy department for permits to export natural gas. the energy department has given out six export permits. so in the next two to five years, we absolutely will see the u.s. begin to -- u.s. companies begin to export their natural gas abroad. >> so coral, the infrastructure is here, right here in the country to actually become a major exporter natural gas in the next five or six years or so? good it's not here today. you -- >> it's not here today. what's amazing in the u.s. natural gas energy picture is that just six or seven years ago, it was thought that u.s. natural gas supplies were so low
6:35 pm
that we would have to start importing natural gas from russia. and work began on terminals, on ports, to import natural gas from russia. now the situation has completely reversed. the u.s. is now the largest natural gas producer in the world. but these -- construction on these ports on these terminals to export natural gas has only just begun. so it would be impossible for the tow u.s. to export today or tomorrow. expected to be able to export natural gas abroad in 2016, 2017. some other ports are expected to export 2017, 2018. that work is underway, still very new. still we will definitely see those exports in the next few years. >> you can help me with this
6:36 pm
then. speaker of the house john boehner took the president to task for not expediting to ship natural gas to ukraine. but what i'm hearing you saying is that it's just not ready to happen right now. that there needs to be more work on the infrastructure to be able to do it. so even if there was the will to do it, there may not be the facilities and the infrastructure to do it in the short term. >> no. in the short term there's absolutely no way that the u.s. could all of a sudden you know, give out all these permits. and quickly be able to move natural gas to the ukraine. i'd also point out. this is a common misperception. in russia the government have control over the major natural gas producer gaspro. and therefore the government can control where russia's gas goes, who gets it who doesn't, when
6:37 pm
the spigot gets turned off and on. in the united states, the government doesn't have control over that. once they can export natural gas abroad they can choose where they would like to send that gas and they won't send it abroad for geopolitical reasons, they will send it to the countries where they can get the best rates. nonetheless, this could fundamentally reshape the broader geopolitical scenario over the coming years. >> sounds like it. >> but the idea that this could change the situation on the ground in ukraine right now is wrong. >> one last one for you. give me the benefit of your reporting on this topic. where is the debate in your mind in your reporting on the environmental impact of this frackinfracking technology, rig? what are you hearing, pro and
6:38 pm
con on it? >> so environmentalists are extremely opposed to natural gas fracking. there is concern that fracking can contaminate water tables, that it could cause earthquakes, that fracking could cause potent greenhouse gases to leak into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming. but at the moment there are no federal regulations on fracking. this is still very early days. it is possible that greater demand for fracking could lead to some real environmental problems. it's also possible, you know we do expect that in the coming years the environmental protection agency and interior department, how effective these cases are, if there are going to be fracking issues, the environmental issue is still out
6:39 pm
6:40 pm
pressure on tehran. the israelis said they found syrian made weapons being smug smuggled to iran. grievances ranging from inflation to corruption, the young people in venezuela have remained the driving force behind the protest. but as daniel scheimler findsment sphwhrvment these opposition protestors have for the past month, calling for radical changes in president nicholas maduro's government. some want him to step down now. no room for compromise. >> no, i don't see a future here. i see a very unstable future. i'm going to graduate next year,
6:41 pm
god willing but i don't know what happens then. i'm very disillusioned, not over my career or my teachers but in my country. >> it's been mostly young people building the roadblocks reerected in cities across venezuela. the clashes between protestors and security forces. the government says the students are behind the violence. an accusation they strongly deny. >> as a student, as a person, as a venezuelan, i take to the streets with my banners and my saucepans. >> i'm out there should be on the beech enjoying the carnival. but no, because they have been killing students. >> many young opposition demonstratordemonstrators have d this year's carnival to protest
6:42 pm
against the parliament, a gesture repeated across the country. a future they believe is being denied them by the parliament. across venezuela, still have some hope. but many of the country's brightest and best have gone, and lost faith in venezuela's future, gone to the united states and spain and elsewhere. jorge went to argentina last year, found work as a graphic designer and building a hive away from home. >> i'd love to be able to return but i will wait until things calm down. as soon as things change, i will buy my ticket home and go and work for my country. >> it seems unlikely that jorge will be going home any time soon as the proa protest continues d.
6:43 pm
and venezuelan society becomes more polarized. a sexual assault case, maria innes ferre has the stories. >> brigadier general jeffrey sinclair pled guilty, did not plead guilty of the more serious charges of sexual assault, sodomy. highest ranking airm officers to be court martialed. part of the program getting veterans back into the workforce, natasha guinane reports. >> images embedded in his mind are nothing compared to the
6:44 pm
images of sexual exploitation he has uncovered. the 25-year-old says he wasn't prepared for looking into the warped mind of a child predator. >> they're doing these heinous crimes here back on the soil i was trying to protect. and the things that they're doing are just absolutely distbufting. distbufting -- disgusting. >> they are waging a battle to take down as many child predators as possible working on computer forensics. they are the first class of here owe corpse. they can -- hero corps. >> these individuals whose wounded warriors have truly
6:45 pm
demonstrated their mental, psychological and physical toughness. they are perfect candidates to be able to do this. >> he temporarily left his wife and children to do this. for seven years he's been trying to transition to civilian life and land a job with the federal government. >> without a job you kind of lose your sense of belonging. you come from a family and you enter civilian world and it's just a struggle trying to fit into where you used to fit in. especially for wounded vets. >> the $10 million pilot program is funded through private sector. its five year goal is to see 500 veterans trained and employed. >> we can start hiring vets again. that's one of the biggest problems in america, especially how many homeless vets are out
6:46 pm
there. >> their boss tells us they're an inspiring presence in the office. reinvigorating those mentoring them. natasha guinane, al jazeera, florida. >> in massachusetts, the state's highest court ruled taking photographs underneath a person's clothing is not illegal. the incident in question happened in 2010 when several women were photographed or videotaped underneath their skirts with a man and a cell phone. >> it's indecent and there ought to be a law, right? coming up. a pair of reports about marijuana, as more states legalize the drug.
6:47 pm
6:49 pm
>> and welcome back everyone to al jazeera america. marijuana has been legal in colorado for two months now and that brings up a new issue of how much weed a driver can smoke before getting behind the wheel. carol mckinley reports, what they are calling du-highs. >> this is not acting chas, it is real life police work. >> when i ask you, i'm going to ask you to lean bam and close your eyes. >> a class to recognize stoned
6:50 pm
behavior. they want to prevent an accident which happened like this one, right after the legalization of recreational marijuana. >> how does law enforcement tell the difference between stoned and impaired driver. on marijuana people have a harder time communicating. >> i introduce myself and tell them why i'm stopping them. they tell me and based on that i start to get cues. i can't arrest somebody based on an odor or on a couple of cues. i need to have driving action. >> whoa! >> to get the word out, the colorado department of transportation is unveiling and ad campaign, aimed at keeping people from driving high. the law says drivers are
6:51 pm
impaired with 5 nanograms of thc in their blood. there is a loophole, a driver can try to convince the jury that they were not impaired at all. >> it is not the nanograms. it is levels of impairment. >> it is frustrating for law enforcement and for the marijuana community. the marijuana community is left not really knowing oftentimes whether they're truly impaired or whether they can be convicted. >> so far in colorado there have been at least two arrests a day for driving under the influence of marijuana. >> we can all you know agree that people should not be using marijuana and driving. the same way that they shouldn't be drinking alcohol or prescription drugs or other illegal drugs. >> and with this graduation, there will be more troopers trained to be on the lookout for
6:52 pm
people who decide to get high and drive. carol mckinley, al jazeera denver. >> as you know, marijuana is also legal in washington state. although police are pursuing stoned drivers there is little consensus about marijuana's effect on the brain of those drivers. jacob ward joins us. jake over to you. >> tony it pay seem like a straightforward thing to say we shouldn't be driving stoned. certainly from legal and policy perspective that's true but when you look at the science of detecting stoned driving it turns out to be incredibly complicated. >> there is very little research into how stoned is too stoned to drive. even in washington state, legalizing spall quantities of marijuana. >> without a doubt can science
6:53 pm
of impairment and marijuana is very unclear. it is not obvious that it will ever get clearer, that we will ever be able to create a bright line standard. >> the science that does exist is spotty and contradictory. studying street quality weed, what we do know is largely from foreign studies and even those studies are highly variable. one well-known study found the risk of an accident would be higher when a driver has five nanodprams oograms in their blo. very different from what we know about alcohol. scientists have a few broad notions about what pot does to our driving ability. the automatic stuff we do in our driving, the lane-keeping, that begins to fall apart. the turning a corner and coming to stop at a light, we do pretty
6:54 pm
well even though we're baked. too limited to establish a sensible law. >> this is why virtually every scientific or traffic safety agency that has assessed this issue that has poadze posed the question can we correlate behavioral impairment from the presence of thc in a single blood sample has said no. we can't do it. >> but states are setting blood limits on thc anyway. colorado and washington both decided on a 5 nanogram limit. any amount of thc to be inherently criminal. >> what we did was look at the science that was available, albeit fairly limited, and said, what was a reasonable range? let's pick the top end of that reasonable range. ultimately what we're talking about is a standard that will result in automatic conviction
6:55 pm
for people convicted of impaired driving. >> spot test for thc, that's not going to happen. you can't prick somebody's finger and get a sample that way. it takes a full two milliliters of blood to test for thc in washington right now. the dream of a cop being able to administer a test on the side of the road is a distance, distance future. in the meantime, washington and colorado are building ground breaking science on an inconclusive law. >> jake, marijuana hasn't been widely available for researchers now. i'm curious to know if legalization, is it possible to study marijuana's effects in washington and colorado. >> tony i would think that to be the case. the problem is all researchers need federal funds to do good work and marijuana remains
6:56 pm
illegal under federal law. in fact, if you want to study mj as a researcher you -- marijuana as a researcher you have to apply for an exemption and they allow you evidence from one pot grow which is weaker. >> thank you jake, our top story is next. >> coming up on ree "real money" pot is real gold. i'll talk about that on "real money." for instance, can fracking change what you pay for water each month? have you thought about how climate change can affect your grocery bill? can rare minerals in china affect your cell phone bill? or how a hospital in texas could
6:57 pm
