girls. the lower senate at us are women and girls pro claimed by leaders. he pointed the finger at u.s. right in the tolerance, following the examples has played a role as violence encourages more violence. i am going to talk to president carter about that and other issues facing the world. for that, i'm honored to welcome the 39th president of the united states from the 2002 peace prize winner, jim. >> i carter. his latest book is "a call to action." such an honor to have you with us. >> delighted. >> you have redefined what it means to be a former president of the united states. you're the only one who won the nobel peace prize after leaving the white house, traveled with mrs. carter doing all kinds of

humanitarian efforts. you've now written almost two dozen books. how in the world do you find the energy to do all of that? >> this is my 28th book. >> my count was wrong, i apologize. >> the carter center has had programs of an active nature in 79 different countries. we've gotten to know the people in all kinds of nations, particularly the third world countries where women and girls are especially abused, but the people that can do something about it and i have 23 recommendations in the book that can involve some of these problems are in the rich world, particular lit united states. a lot of the problems that occur in the poorest countries, the backward countries of the world we might call them also extend here in the united states. for instance, slavery. the slavery that exists now is much greater than it ever was in the 19th century when black

people were brought out of africa into england and the united states. there is $200 billion worth of human trafficking every year. the state department is required to report on this annually, and they reported last year that 800,000 people were solid across international borders per year. 80% of those sold into slavery are girls for sex purposes. >> and thousands of them into the united states. >> 100,000 in the united states, not all of them were set across borders, but the number one place in america for this humannativery traffic is in atlanta, because we have the largest airport on earth and also because a lot of our passengers on the airplanes come from a third world, from the southern part of the world where the girls can be bought cheaper. you can buy, a pump can buy a girl through the atlanta airport for about a thousand dollars if

she comes from africa or asia or southern america. >> we got all sorts of media response from people who want to ask you success. you saw in houston, more than 100 like lie illegal i am grants locked up in a house. it was a terrible situation there. we have a viewer who asked, i believe her name was heather and she asked how can we fight trafficking in the u.s.? >> well, i think the united states has to take the leadership on the entire word basis. i'm talking about girls and women, because as i say, girls comprise 80% of the people sold into slavery. there's an international convention of the united states called a convention on the end of discrimination against women, cedaw and the united states has refused to ratify this treaty, this convention that exists because we don't want to have anything to do with the united

nations in the very conservative senate. the other is called violence against women. the international version requires that every country tabulate not only their own crimes, but also try to decrease the criminality of actions against women, girls and all prisoners and all slaves, whether men or women. these are the things that happen, and another thing that is very terrible in the united states is that the worst places for sexual abuse in america are two of our greatest institutions, one is universities. >> where we see an epidemic of sexual assault. >> one out of four girls is raped or had sexual abuse while she's in college, and only 4% of those rapes are reported. about 1/6 as much reported in the civilian environment. >> the other institution is the military. >> the military. >> you were commander-in-chief. >> it's a parallel problem,

because the commanding officer doesn't want to admit that in his cline of command, in his company or battalion that a lot of sexual abuse takes place, so discourages the women from reporting when they are assaulted. the same thing happens with college presidents and deans who don't want to bring a bad name to their university, harvard university or the university of chicago or so fort. >> are you unhappy in the senate rejecting a bill that would have taken sexual assault out of the chain of command. >> i am disappointed. they made slight improvements about how much you can harass a woman who is raped in court. there was a horrible case which i attended and the washington post reported that for three days she was interrogated by the football player's defender, lawyer, 21 hours and three days. she asked to be let off for the

next day because she was tired and the judge ruled against her and made her testify, as well. they asked her horrendous questions, how many times have you kissed a boy, what kind of underwear were you wearing, have you ever had sex relations before you came to the naval academy. how wide do you open when you give oral sex to a boy. those questions were asked her. that sends a signal all over the military if you're a military and you get abused, don't make a charge officially against your rapist. >> so undudley, this is a tremendous issue across the world. >> it is. >> and you say that it's the biggest worldwide issue, worldwide challenge. >> it's unaddressed. >>un addressed. in a world where we're facing wars, terrorism, nuclear proliferation, why do you think it is that biggest challenge? >> let's look at the number of people that die because of this. we know that about 35 million people were killed in the second world war, right?

and during the war between the states or civil war in america, 600,000 people were killed. at this moment, there are 160 million girls who are missing because they've been killed by their parents, either at birth, they strangled the baby because it's a girl and they need to have boys or because they now have son know grams and they can detect the sex of a fetus while it's still in the embryo stage and abort that child selectively because it's female, so almost an entire generation of girls are missing from the face of the earth because they've been killed. >> the shortest chapter is called genocide of girls and possibly the most powerful because you address that issue there. >> it's not known, people don't really care, because for instance, in china and india, limit the size of families, and if a family doesn't have social security, they want to have boys

so they can support them in their old age. if they can have one or two children, they want to make darn sure they have a boy. there was a movie that came out called "it's a girl," and there's a woman from india who says not with any shame that she strangled eight daughters when they were born as infants. so this kind of thing goes on around the world, and the united states, i think, needs to take a leadership role in stopping this mandatory prostitution and to take action that can correct some of these problems. >> you are deeply religious but have iticcal of the role of religion when it comes to women and girls. >> i'm a christian, and there's no place in the bible that detects anything, any actioners words of jesus christ that derogates women or puts them in a secondary position. as a matter of fact, jees was a champion of women's rights and he made women a high erstad at us than they ever had been in

history before him, but there are verses you can extract from the bible, old testament or new testament, writings of paul you can interpret one way or the other if you want to have women inferior. >> you think it is men interpreting this. >> it is. women played a strong role in all christian churches, including the catholic church, paul pointed poutth out there were 25 leaders he mentioned specifically and half of women at very high levels. nowadays in the catholic church, a woman can't be a priest or deacon, southern baptist convention, same thing applies to women. the universities at a higher level in the southern bob activity convention, if a woman is a teacher in a seminary and there are few left, they can't teach boys in the classroom. >> you and mrs. carter left the southern baptist convention because of positions on women.

you have been critical with the catholic church but communicated with pope francis. >> i have. i think he's a great leader and i have great hopes for him. i met with pope john ii, i found almost complete inflexibility there. i wrote pope francis a letter describing issues in my book and asking him to help with them to prevent, minimize the abuse of women and girls. i didn't ask him to change the click position on women priests for instance. he wrote me a very nice letter back and he said that he was convinced that a future role of women in the catholic church needed to be strengthened and would be. he appointed a committee of eight people to decrease the abuse of women by priest and four of those eight were women, which is a very wonderful thing to do. >> i want to get to a couple of current affair questions that

we're seeing this terrible can't recovery in crimea. >> i don't think there was anything that would have prevented put tune from taking crimea. most of the crimean people agreed with it and wanted to be part of russia. i think it needs to be stopped at this point. i don't think we need to equite a few indicate about the prohibition of putin moving into other parts of eastern ukraine. i had the same challenge to face when i was president. during christmas week of 1979,

soviet moved massive numbers of troops into afghanistan and they occupied afghanistan. i had to stop them from going further. i did everything i could. i with drew my ambassador from moscow, declared a grain embargo against them. agreed with the congress and american olympic committee in not going to the olympics and i began to give weapons to the freedom fighters in afghanistan, secretly, and we used all russian made weapons so that they couldn't refuse. >> should we support ukraine militarily? >> i think so, yes. i do believe we should. i also announced to brezhnev on public television that if he moved out of afghanistan to any adjacent country we would responsibility militarily and not spare any weapons we had at our disposal. he never did. the freedom fighters were ultimately successful and with drew from afghanistan. i think we need to be very

forceful in making sure that putin doesn't go into eastern ukraine militarily. >> talking about president obama, all your other successors have consulted you in one way or another. i know you said that president obama has not. >> other predecessors. i'm not credittizing president obama, i've been out of office for 35 years and it's natural for a president to cult other presidents if they want to who have more recently been in the white house. i think george bush has been there recently before him. i don't think he should go back 35 years and resurrect an old democratic that was there. >> what if part of the problem is you don't take guidance well, don't play well with official washington. >> i'm always careful to protect the integrity and respect for the president. i never have been to any sense

active area nat world that i didn't get at least tacit approval from the president before i went. a few times the president's have asked me not to go and president obama has done this, president clinton and on occasion president george h.w. bush asked me not to go to a place because it was dangerous or they had plans there about which i was not familiar. i would like very much to be involved, if i can be of help, the carter center has had a policy since i founded it of going into countries that were sensitive and we don't have any restraints or restriction on whom we meet, so we can meet with leaders with whom the u.s. government has no relationships, even no communication and on occasion, the u.s. government will call on me as i go into north korea, into cuba, meet with some of the palestinian factions, as i go into so dan and meet and as i go into they pap and meet with the

maoists, they asked me to ask no question and bring back answers. >> you were critical of edward snowden, believe he broke the law, but at the same time, you think that it was important that some of this was brought to light. >> i do. >> you said that you're concerned that your emails are looked at by the n.s.a. and when you've had sensitive topics that you do handwritten letters. the head of the n.s.a. today has said they are not looking at your emails. >> that's a relief to know. i remember when the head of n.s.a., one of them said that they didn't monitor americans, they didn't record american telephone calls and it turned out later that he didn't tell the congress the truth. i haven't really worried about it, i don't have anything to conceal, but there are sometimes when i don't want my private messages to be read. there is no doubt the n.s.a. has recorded every telephone call and every email sense in the united states.

they don't actually read the text but know which message has occurred. they know which transmission has taken place and if they want to later on, they can get permission from a dominated fisa court to look at certain things. when i was president, i was in exactly the same problem. i was concerned after watergate and that sort of thing that the intelligence sometimes abuse people. i know that the f.b.i. did abuse martin luther king, jr. and so fort and so we got a law passed in 1978 that absolutely prevented any american intelligence agency from spying on even one american communication unless they got a court order ahead of time certifying that it was a threat to american security. that prevailed until after 9/11, and then that law was liberalized and i think changed quite a

lot, and in my opinion, when the congress changed it, the intelligence committees knew what was in the bill but the rest of the members of congress didn't have access to those secrets, so the laws were passed and then i think the n.s.a. as others emseeded the grant of freedom the congress gave them and exceeded their intrusions into the private affairs of americans, yes. >> "a call to action," president carter, best of luck with your book, your humanitarian efforts and i hope you come back and visit us on your 29th book. >> i always like to be with you. thank you again. >> is postil the undisputed leader of the free world? his tough talk on russia while in the netherlands. >> why were the deadly mudslides in washington so devastating if there were warnings over a decade ago that this could happen?

>> hermela aregawi is tracking the tap stories on the web. >> a little girl's good deed is punished and sparks outrage on social media. i'll tell you more, coming up. >> while your watching, join our conversation by tweeting to us >> start with one issue ad guests on all sides of the debate. and a host willing to ask the tough questions and you'll get... the inside story ray suarez hosts inside story weekdays at 5pm et / 2pm pt only on al jazeera america

>> president obama faced tougher questions tuesday about his leadership in the ukrainian cries. he was in the netherlands for the third nuclear security summit aimed at preventing nuclear terrorism around the world. the questions turned to crimea and growing tensions with russia. joining us is ambassador former presidential envoy to iraq and chairman of the bipartisan national terrorism on terrorism. it's good to have you back. >> nice to be with you. >> one of the president's goals is to shore up european support to get tougher sanctions against russia. with so many european interests

tied to the russians, do you think the president will be able to convince them to a tough approach? >> it remains to be seen. i think it's important to go back and say how did we get into this situation. i believe this current crisis over ukraine is a direct result of the central these of this administration's foreign policy, that thesis is that the world would be a safe irplace if america plays less of a leadership role, less than in the last 70 years. what's happened in ukraine is sort of a wake up call, shows the need for a complete reset in the administration's strategy. i think until we get to a clear statement that the administration understands that, it's going to be hard, in effect, to bring the europeans along. >> do you think americans will support more aggressive action and more leadership around the world, because a cbs news poll

found 61% of americans surveyed did not think that the u.s. had any responsibility at all in the crimean situation, 65% are against even supplying military aid and equipment. do you think americans are just too war weary to get involved? >> well, i think those polls are an example of the failure of the leadership of the administration. we have clear interests in what that is in europe. after all, a number of country that is border on russia are nato allies, in particular the baltic states and turkey and norway, we are all committed to defend them. the american people don't understand we have an interest there, it's a question of leadership. if the administration's idea is to lead from behind as in libya, the american people naturally gradually decide that we have no interest. that has to be fixed. >> what should we do?

represent senator kelly ayot and mike rogers called on the president to give military assistance to ukraine and other countries in the region especially nato allies who could be at risk and you heard president carter tell me he thinks we should provide military aid to ukraine. couldn't all that escalate the tensions? >> i think there are four things we should do. that's the first. the ukrainians have asked for military assistance and we should provide it. secondly, we need to reassure our nato allies and do that in several ways. first of all, we should resume the plan to deploy missile defenses in poland and czech republic which were canceled by this administration and make very clear to the allies and privately to the russians that we take seriously our commitment to defend them militarily. third step, put pressure on the european union to come forward

with a very large possible, they are talking about $15 billion of aid to ukraine to stabilize the economy and finally get proactive. we need to take step that is persuade the russians not to take further steps like going into east he were ukraine, for example, stringent, much more stringent sanctions on the russian financial situation would bring home to putin that he has to calculate much more carefully the risk of going further. those are concrete things that i think the administration must and should do. >> donald rumsfeld, former secretary of defense made harsh comments about the president's foreign policy skills, mitt romney said that the president's any eave about russia. when the president was asked in the hague about something that he ridiculed during the campaign, romneys claim to russia was the united states

number one geopolitical foe. >> russia is a power threatening some its immediate neighbors not out of strength, but out of weakness. russia's actions are a problem. they don't pose the with number one national security threat to the united states. >> he said that number one security threat is nuclear bomb in manhattan that may come from terrorism. >> it's 11 time zones wide, stretching from the pacific to the north atlantic, and quite a number of russia's neighbors as i just pointed out are now allied to us and the nato treaty calls under article five for the fact that an attack on one is an attack on all. those are pretty serious problems and if russia thinks it can continue the process of nibbling away at ukraine and maybe owe did he say is a next

and transeastern republic, part of moldova, we could be in a very serious crisis. that will certainly get the president's attention if that happens. we need to change putin's calculation on his next step. >> to your point, the president took a shot at putin. let's listen to that. >> we have considerable influence on our neighbors. we generally don't need to invade them in order to have a strong cooperative relationship with them. >> does he have a point, that putin is operating out of weakness? >> my guess is putin doesn't think he's operating out of weakness and i don't think the polls and the lithuanians and ukrainians think he said acting out of weakness. i guess i don't see that argument very much myself. i think it's important to get a reset. president carter as he said to you, in a way, learned a lesson when the russians invaded

afghanistan. he had to reset his entire foreign policy, increased defense spending, started aiding the ma. >> has dean in afghanistan as he pointed out. this administration is going to have to come to a reset moment and take serious leadership. >> as always, great to have you with us to share your thoughts. >> nice to be with you again. >> turning to the massive mud slide in northern washington that nearly wiped out a town, the death toll rose to 16, officials say another eight bodies were found but not yet recovered. rescuers say they have found no other signs of life. 176 people are still considered missing or unaccounted for. officials do not believe they were all victims of the disaster. the first 911 calls received saturday morning when the disaster struck show the terror.

>> a mud slide happened. i got people here screaming for help. >> ok, are they in the middle of the water? >> yes, there's a person buried in mud. oh, my god. >> the mile long mud slide buried homes along the bend of a river that lice just under hills that experienced mudslides for decades but warnings did not detour builders or residents from moving to that area. >> joining us is aljazeera's seattle correspondent alan. officials were very emotional in their news conference tuesday night, entire families are missing. how much information is there on the missing people? >> well, we're getting bits and pieces, those officials telling us mostly about their efforts to get in, find victims and recover them now saying they put the number at 24.

they have identified or found another eight victims, fatalities, putting the number at 24. you talk to anybody up the valley here, up the river, and just about everybody knows somebody who they haven't heard from since saturday morning. that number 176 is the number of reports of missing people that they've gotten, they expect a lot of reports to overlap and that they don't expect that a final toll will be 176. they think it will be a lot less than that. it's been a windy and rainy day. that has made things very difficult on rescue crews, about 200 people out on foot in the slide area. it's gotten slick, very soggy and soupy again, so it has really slowed them down. there are dog teams working, people with cameras and listening devices, the national guard is deployed, a huge effort being made to find anybody who might still be living in that

slide area and also to find, recover and identify the victims. it's quite a scene there. >> the pictures are incredible. rescue workers have been described as up to their ears in mud, getting stuck. there are threats of new slides. how much -- you know, at times i heard they could barely move through this stuff. how difficult is the search? >> this is very sort of as soon as as soonas soupy,almost cement like consis. we're minding more about how they are going about it. the search dogs have been very helpful in the last couple days. when they sense something, the human assets, search and rescue workers deploy cameras. if they think there's an open space somewhere they can get to, listening devices to see of any signs of

life. then they'll move debris by hand or with equipment they brought in. very, very difficult work. this is a debris field, a ragged edge squire mile. mixed in with the dirt is the remains of 35 houses, so all kinds of construction material, nails, propane tanks, sewage, all kinds of hazardous materials, anything that people might have had on hand, it's a really dangerous situation. add into that the fact that there's a massive scarf that has slid and continues to be very wet and unstable and could slide again and you have a very dangerous situation. they're taking every possible precaution to keep the searchers and those people out there safe. >> that's a scary situation there. we hope that they can still find some survivors. alan, thank you very much for your time. >> joining us now from our studio is david

montgomery, a professor and geologist, the author of the book the rocks don't lie. david, good of you to be with us. in 1999 there was a report filed with the arm army corps of engis warning of the potential for a large catastrophic failure in that area. there have been mudslides there big and small going back for decades. why wasn't it known that this town was so vulnerable? >> the geology had been done mapping the landslides. the report identified correctly the potential for an event like this to happen. the difficult part is forecasting sort of when that might happen. he recognized it clearly as an important danger, that site had slid several times since the 1940s, every decade or two, so it was a known hazard, but geologists can write reports, study things, understand the diameter and if that information

isn't translated from report into action or to doing something or gets to the people who might be impacted, to homeowners who would want to know that they were in a landslide hazard zone, the swelling. >> is only part of it, the first step. there is question whether society will use that information and how they would use it. no one could forecast that that landslide would be as it happened, but you could forecast that it could occur in the future and was likely to occur as dan forecasted and has tragically been borne out. >> a local official first said that this mud slide came as a total surprise. other officials said residents were aware of the risks. what was clear is whatever happened here, people kept building homes and moving trailers into the area despite prior mudslides, despite that report. what needs to be done? do residents need to be notified when they buy a house or go to

build in an area that that is an area that is prone to mudslides? >> if you don't have access to the information, the hazard on a piece of property you are thinking of buying, how can you make an intelligent decision about whether or not to buy it. people should be made aware of those hazards on properties they are thinking of or already living in if that hazard is recognized. that slide dammed the river in 2006. people who lived there before then were clearly aware that the slide could happen. they may not have imagined that it would be much bigger than it had been before and why should they imagine that? geologists have a different perspective object those hazards. we can look at and try and read the magnitude of the potential hazard but homeowners who who have had in after the slide may not have

known about it. you can talk about whether or not landslide hazard zones should be policy, how do we manage the risks, how do we let them assume the risks if they're fully aware. if they're not aware, they can't make a rational choice. >> mudslides add $2 billion a year to the u.s. annual disaster recovery bill, an average of 25-50 fatalities a year and according -- that's according to the u.s. geological survey. do you think this one will be a wake up call given its magnitude? >> one would hope that in a tragic event like this would focus people's attention on the potential for other sites and really get -- spur the transfer of information about where are the hazardous sites, what are the risks, people may be running in different parts of the country.

landslides are a very real a and deadly hazard in this country. different regions have different hazards. the kind of failures we saw in this site were different from the kind in california or the appalachians. understand the regional risks and where to map the actual potential impact zones is something that involves a lot of geological work and a lot of translation to actually get out to the general public. >> a final question, there's a report of a small earthquake right in that region a couple of weeks ago. do you think that could have had anything to do with it? >> it's my understanding that that was a very small earthquake, magnitude one or so earthquake. i doubt that that really had a lot to do with it. we've had a lot of rain, 200% of our normal rainfall in the northwest and the proximal cause was certainly the great amount of rain we've had lately. >> already, david montgomery,

appreciate you joining us, thank you. >> time to see what's trending on the web. let's check back in with hermela. >> people on social media are standing up for a little girl punished for a good deed. the 9-year-old shaved her head to support her friend who has cancer. >> she's my best friend. yeah. >> you wanted to support her? >> yeah. >> but this violated her elementary's dress code, according to a statement. shaved heads are not allowed. cameron was temporarily suspended from the school. her parents admit to signing a dress code which bans slaved heads but assumed this was an exception. when they took their complaint to facebook, they received an outpouring of support, comments like these, such a sweet and brave things she did, you have an amazing girl. donna says that is unbelievable that they would do that. it's just ridiculous. the support from the community went beyond social media.

>> i think there's times that rules are extremely important and i think there's times compassion is far more important than any rule book. >> after the response, the school has decided to let cameron come back to school on tuesday and said they'll discuss whether they'll permanently exempt her from the rule. >> now to viewer reaction, john says: >> joe says: >> what do you think about the story? should the school exempt cameron? sweet us at @ajconsiderthis. >> that's not a very good lesson for the rest of the kids to punish that little girl. >> venezuela's oppression turns inward. >> the big business of lories and the hundreds of millions people are losing by not checking their tickets.

>> later, teenage rebellion seems like it's been around for centuries, but questions >> al jazeera america presents a global finacial powerhouse >> the roman catholic church, they have an enormous amount of power >> accusations of corruption... >> there is a portion of the budget that takes care of all the clerical abuse issues. >> now we follow the money and take you inside the vatican's financial empire. >> when it comes to money, this is one of the sloppiest organizations on earth... >> al jazeera america presents... holy money only on al jazeera america

so many money stories sound complicated. but don't worry. i'm here to take the fear out of finance. every night on my show i break down the confusing financial speak and make it real.

>> a fierce adversary of the countries venezuela president is vowing to stay in the legislature after stripped of her seat for speaking out internationally about the country. she said the move shows desperation, but venezuelan national assembly president says she can now be tried for treason. >> it's a fact that she doesn't have parliamentary immunity. she can be detained at any moment now without previous notice. >> the acts raises the steaks add three generals were arrested for plotting a coup and the death toll continues across the country, to 36, including a pregnant woman and national guard soldier. we are joined by a weekly

columnist for one of the most widely circulated newspapers in venezuela. the government has arrested three air force generals for platting to coup against them. is that a sign there may be growing cracks in the military that the president depends on? >> thank you for having me on the show. i think the arrest of the generals basically shows -- i think has more to do with internal policy and with the type of message that the government is seeking to communicate to venezuelans -- i'm sorry. right now. essentially, there are a lot of problems going on within the country, and the venezuelan government has made it its habit essentially to make sure they have someone to blame. in the last few weeks, in the

last couple months, we've had so much instability that it's possible to blame a lot of unpopular moves that have taken place recently, getting rid of gas subsidies, a recent evaluation on enemies, trying to undermine the revolution. every so often, people want to see these enemies and that's when the government starts pointing people out. the government announced three generals within the air force were going to be arrested before anyone knew who they were. >> speaking out at the oas, do you think they will be able to proceed against her and will he put her in prison? he's gone after two mayors already and is he going to keep putting opponents behind bars? >> that's a great question. what they're looking to do now is limit her level of exposure. there were no constitutional mechanics that were in place when they announced that she was

going to be expelled from the parliament. essentially when they did was make a unilateral announcement, there wasn't two thirds voting. it's something that they've done four times before, and this basically is a sign that allows them to move against her. what they're looking for from her is a more domestic focus, because where the government feels it is weak now is in the realm of international opinion. the o.a.s. was a big victory for them in that record, but at the same time they want to make sure that they don't have too many visible opposition leaders crossing the globe and sending messages out. >> we'll have to see what happens. thank you for your time. we'll be right back. >> i'm joie chen, i'm the host of america tonight, we're revolutionary because we're going back to doing best of storytelling. we have an ouportunity to really reach out and really talk to

voices that we haven't heard before... i think al jazeera america is a watershed moment for american journalism

>> these protestors have decided that today they will be arrested >> these people have chased a president from power, they've torn down a state... >> what's clear is that people don't just need protection, they need assistance. >> today's data dive looks at lottery winners who don't know they're winners. this woman was thrilled to see that her family's deli had sold

a second place megamillions lottery ticket. she'd get $10,000 for selling that ticket. when the women didn't come forward, she got curious. she checked her own ticket and found she had won. delayed reactions like hers are common. just a month ago in maryland, one out of the two winning tickets in a $1,400,000,000 jackpot remains unclaimed. state officials say some winners take time to get legal and financial advice. that winner has six months to come forward. winning tickets often go uncashed. state websites have whole sections winning unclaimed prizes. a powerball at this time for $425.3 million hasn't been claimed. the owner of the store who sold it still gets $1 million. in this case, the winner has a year to claim the foreign.

us who will ligans, we knew who we were. >> the film is expanding nationwide, you can find more on line. the concept of being a teenager is something that's just a given. i'm not surprised very often and it really jumped out at me that this is a new concept that came about when the child labor laws that came in reaction to the industrial revolution went into effect. >> yeah, it's something that i took for granted, too, until i read john savage's book teenage. i thought the teenager was born in the 1950's with rockers and james dean, but was totally surprised at the prehistory from all all the way back in the turn of the venery. >> i so you the first references i could find in literature to

around 21, so the word must have started being used a little bit at the turn of the 21s 21st century. the child labor laws allowed more time for keep ablers to have more time to be teenagers. >> this new second stage of life he merged and young people had a lot of time on their hands, getting into trouble and perceived as this social problem, so police and the government and parents were trying to find out what is the role of youth, what place are they going to fit in society. >> what happens is all of a sudden, with change come all sorts of new issues. pretty much, you had a massive identity crisis worldwide, or at least certainly in the western world. >> we associate identity crisis wife can adolescence, but it was really the adult society in crisis about the role that youth would play in society. they went from being a problem to being an opportunity for governments and eventually for marketers. >> that's one thing that you

fiery speech. >> after the great depression, obviously the world was in crisis, but people didn't know what would come of this next generation and were search forego answers. kind of hitler's plan put youth in the center and many joined his political movement and became part of the hitler youth. america was moving in a radically different direction, one of democracy, and the government was also creating programs for them and what young people were doing in the c.c.c. and early days of the hitler youth looked very similar. of course the hitler youth would go into a more evil militarized direction. >> you talked about them being a political force. >> uh-huh. when i started making this film, i thought it would be a deeper exploration of pop culture. i recognized how political the material was. young people faced an incredible amount of

oppression and these movements were signs of looking to gain rights as a distinction social class. >> the movie does address teenagers as a pop force, and in so many different ways, how they pretty much have determined the course of pop culture in the century and i'm sure today. >> the first full fledged sub culture. young people had their own style of dance. it became a youth phenomenon and mass culture. i was interested in how that youthful invention spread around the world. >> you found the most incredible archival footage to support this from england, germany, the united states. how? because some of it is incredible. >> it was a long process. we tapped almost 100 archives around the world. i was looking for stuff that
