president obama is in italy right now on the second leg of his six days trip. today's highlight as officials pay visit. full of pomp and circumstance you would expect, but as mike reports the president's audience with the pope wasn't all chipper. >> it was a day of ceremony, symbolism, and some substance as president obama traveled to the vatican to meet with the new pope francis for the first time. >> i'm a great admirer, later they sat face to face in a simple wooden p desk. the pope's working desk, 20 minutes overtime, the two men do share a focus, and is that was emphasize bedty white house, the growing gap between rich and poor, both spent much time in that topic, and
6:02 pm
when they parted company there was an exchange of gift. with two large medallions that are said to symbolize the need for peace between northern and southern hemispheres. that is served as a road map for the church and the new focus on the plight of the poor. the two also talked about the need for immigration reform in the united states, and but evidently there was one area of disagreement, and that is the president's health care law, and it's requirement. that employees have access to contraceptive coverage, that is a provision posed by catholics and the catholic church. in a statement after the meeting the vatican made a reference to that, saying there was a discussion on questions
6:03 pm
of particular relevance to the church, such as the exercise of rights to religious freedom, life, and conscientious objection. now the president appears later at a press conference with italian prime minister and down plays the dispute. ukraine was again at the top of the agenda, both with the pope and the prime minister. stressing the need to stabilize the ukrainian economy. >> and one of the most important things we can do on that front, is ensure that the ukrainian government, is stable, that it's finances are stable, and that elections go forward as currently scheduled. >> italians certainly welcome the pope. there was a live camera there to cover almost every turn of the motorcade. there was a meeting with the italian president, and a sightseeing visit to rome's famed coliseum. and the president stays one more night in rome, in the morning he leaves for a trip to saudi arabia, his mission to mend fencing with a long time alley. traveling with with the president in rome, al jazeera. >> human rights watch is

6:05 pm
change anything here. i think what ukraine wanted was a big vote, they wanted to show russia they have a lot of countries on their side, that russia clearly hasn't cared sending the troops in a few weeks ago, not only have they taken to ground, they have also taken a lot of the military equipment, all the bases, most of the ukrainian navy now in russian hands. they have made clear that crimea is part of russia. all right, a lot of action from the international community today, what is aid going to do for the country. >> well, the i.m.f. says that it is promising ukraine between 14 and $18 billion in loans. the ukraine needs that money -- the ice $150 million in ukraine and international support.
6:06 pm
>> the most corrupt country in europe. >> it has been a huge problem and they know they have a lot of changes. now that's something the i.m.f. had demanded the ukrainian government has been subsidized the cost of gags for it's consumers for years. so that's just one of the measures the i.m.f. is dend maaing. it is going to be a tough road ahead as they try to get their economy in line with the rest of europe. >> and jennifer, back to the peninsula where you are, here the time zones are about to change to match moscow, and what else beyond that is happening to complete this whole transition to -- i guess we can say becoming russian. >> so on sunday, the time switches two hours.
6:07 pm
that it works to moscow. we are also seeing some of the bumps along the road. ukraine hasn't given the authorities here for example the land registries. two health care registries. today a second bank announced. lining up there front of a.t.m.s. locking up people, so it will be a bumpy road ahead. to make things work, the bank that is closing is closing out it's assets and trying to find a russian investor, because the new rules here, mean you have to have russian investors so it will be a very interesting few week withs ahead. as they fully integrate into russia is. >> jennifer, appreciate it. a number of victims killed is expected to increase dramatically.
6:08 pm
crews have returned to the mountain of debris. conditions have said they have not improved. it is like a swamp. if you were to put big machinery out there we would lose it. darington for us. >> the landslide came plunging out of the cascade mountains. even six days later despite all the logic tells all of us about the period of time. their tactics are not going to change. >> we are not changing gears. we are not change the pace of this, and we are
6:09 pm
going to exhaust all options to try to find somebody alive. all of these resources that we have had here, since saturday, if we just find one more person that's alive that's worth it. >> we will continue on. the army national guard is on scene, a unit from the navy base nearby is helping out. people in the retirement homes are holding contests. church groups are wheeling in with water, toilet paper, all kinds of stuff. so the work continues. the hope continues, but really six days out is very very grim. those are expected to go up because of the way they are counting the
6:10 pm
people that they are finding they have to be processed by the medical examiner, identify and then listed as decreased and they have unfortunate a backlog in that process. and they haven't gotten to everybody they have to get to. today's announcement comes as new satellite images shows hundreds of objects in the south indian ocean. the latest on the search. >> another futi effort to solve the mystery. nine aircraft from four nations return to the target zone over the southern indian ocean. more than 1500 miles southwest of australia. human spotters desperately scan the surface looking for debris. but rough weather sent is the searchers back to land. >> despite searching the air for 2 1/2 hours we
6:11 pm
were unable follow kate anything visually. as i said the weather wasn't good for the search, and the swell was rather high in the area as well. >> the australian maritime authority which is coordinating the search, asked press conference sells to stay on patrol. five of the ships are from china. 153 of the 239 passengers and crew on the missing plane are chinese. from space, another possible clue, a thai satellite spot add field of debris in the same area, where other possible objects from mh 370 were seen earlier. >> we found the floating objects. of various sizes from two meters up to 15 or 16. we -- we estimate that there are maybe at least 300 pieces of those scatter in the area. of about almost 500
6:12 pm
square kilometers. >> so far the u.s. military has not public revealed any of it's satellite data. we are not going to talk about specifics of the support we are getting with respect to satellite imagery. that you haven't seen from the united states on the cable and network tv. the u.s. is al looking for the missing airline or, which disamirred more than of is why do we need
6:13 pm
this new system? >> tony, our current air traffic control system is is based on radar. 40 is pretty outdated. prepared to handle the increase of passengers we are about to see. we are seeing 700 million annual passengers. we are probably going to see over 1 billion. >> it's quite safe with only 0.2 accidents bear departure, but the national air space is very inefficient. >> it is a very manual process, it starts at the gate. ramp control, and he or she will then hand them off to a tower control. so they will yet again be handed off to yet another controller, in the departure or arrival area. and they will yet again be handed off to another controller. and likely very likely many controllers.
6:14 pm
>> since no central system coordinates all those people, the faa is working on one that will. >> it is the next generation air transportation system, or next jeb. and the agency has commissioned to build new tracking soft is ware for it. a technology capable of tracking every plane. this makes it impossible to coordinate very far in advance. >> here in the united states, we still use strips of paper to denote the plains were with in and the gates that we're at. place that with a software based system, that can issue recommendations to the ramp operators to decide when you leave the gate.
6:15 pm
two of the most important costs is the amount of fuel, and the man their paying their crew to operate the aircraft. >> most planes have several pieces of the necessary equipment. such as a.d.s.b., the gps system that allows to do away with radar. that plank was already outfitted. but if they come together, by 2020 it will be practically impossible to lose track of a commercial flight in the united states. >> boy oh boy. so what's the benefit of this new system. >> well, right now, the system is basically a long line of people trying to get your plane
6:16 pm
off of their screen and out of their day. so that's why you end up in a long line wait withing to take off, or waiting for a plane the last guy dumps you on the next guy, so the system here will be coordinating all of that. so there should be a bunch of benefits for us in addition to the savings in money and in emissions. two turkey now, where leaked government conversations about a possible syrian intervention have ended up on youtube, and made the government block the site. that followed twit fresh a week ago, the details. this is a cyber attack aimed at the turkish republic. and vowed to pursue those
6:17 pm
who are behind the leaks. now, all of this comes as the turkish government has been battling corruption allegations since december 17th. social media websites were used to leak different audios allegedly for the prime minister, as well as members of his government. now, the government and prime minister denied all those accusations and said that his inkmies were using social media website aimed at toppling his government. >> the decision to allow college athletes to unionize could have big ripple effects off the field. coming up, how the move can change the entire business. also, video show as tornado touching down in northern california, kevin is here next to take a look at that and the dangerous weather hitting the midwest today. >>
6:18 pm
6:19 pm
new shines the economy is shaking off the winter blews and may be enjoying
6:20 pm
a spring fall. let's get to ali velshi is. alley, i love this news. >> you know what -- >> don't change your channel. you can't really change the channel, everybody else out there please don't change it. you know that. >> oh yeah. >> the broadest measure of what we with do. we with have is the figures for the last three months. we already had them, they have been revised that's a big number. they are predicting growth, was at 2.6% from the year. that's up from 2.4%. why, higher consumer spending. you know that two-thirds of the economy is driven by the consumer, and the consumer spent more money. now, we are now in the first quarter of 2014, and the estimates are for slower growth, only act 2%, but that might improve, because as consumer confidence is coming back. they are thinking that one day spring may show up. so we with are looking at
6:21 pm
a better quarter. that's a contract for hones already sold is. lowest level in 2 1/2 years. >> right. >> but the consumer seems to be okay with it. >> that's more important than housing. good thing you brought that up, jobless claim as a figure we look at every thursday. they came down, and when you average it out over a month, jobless claims people filing for unemployment, the lowest level since sent is. the job picture look as little better,ly give you a better read of it, is the big unemployment. that's because rates are going up, hard to get a mortgage. so not a terrible thing. >> what else is coming up on the menu?
6:22 pm
we with will talk about the vaticans finances. that hasn't been the most transparent thing. take a look at these. crews caught these on camera, one tornado is blamed for cutting a 300-yard swath through a neighborhood, ripping the roofs off of at least 12 homes. kevin is here now with more on that entire system, kevin. >> that's right. in the month of march, california will only see about two with tornadoes. we did see six yesterday. as well as into the northern part of napa valley. those are those thunderstorms pushing through. the big problem here is in the central part of the united states, it was spring, severe weather season, we were a little
6:23 pm
bit below average for the beginning of march. because of all the cold weather, well, now we are making it up. we have seen about four in the northern part of missouri, we do have right here, we have tornado watchings in effect for missouri, parts of kansas and a little bit of oklahoma. this is the area where most concerns about, missouri, parts of arkansas over here to oklahoma. tomorrow, down here towards the south, so lose san is that, mississippi, maybe even a.m.al and kentucky. we are in spring? if you say so.
6:24 pm
$50 million but local fisherman, worry they will be the oning paying the price, with their livelihoods. robin gray joins us now, in new orleans, great to see you. why are fisherman so concerned. >> good evening, from a wet new orleans here, fisherman are worried because they are concerned that the divisions are going to push fresh water into salt is water mash,s. effecting the ecosystem, and their livelihood. but today, a brand new report from a major environmental group says that this new master plan is $50,000,000,000.50 year plan, will actually help the economy and boost the states. it used to be a fisherman's paradise, it use to be. >> life is delicate. >> crab, shrimp, fish. >> fisherman was born and
6:25 pm
raised on these once fertile marshes. >> it is a boat launch. people fished. come from all over the united states. come fishing out here. it used to be really great, really good. >> completed in 1991, the diversion is a canal that sends fresh water from the mississippi river, to saltwater mashes. the goal was to revitalize the marsh land. diversions like that, are among the 109 projects in the new coastal master plan. rather than the dredging and diversions here. they feel like if those are built with sand is and sentimentses that that will actually help the cause, rather than damage their way of life.
6:26 pm
that sending the fresh water is harmful. >> the recreational fishing industries are $4.1 billion a year industries. they employ over 17,000 jobs. >> and ricks doubts that more water diversions will help create new land. >> it won't rebuild land like the dethat did. and we don't have 7,000 years to wait. but what it will do is totally devastate our fishes -- our commercial recreational fishing and seafood industry. >> you have the fresh water. >> jerome has the organization that wrote the new master plan. >> if we don't do inning, it will change to the point where we get to the point where we don't recover. >> he understands the concerns of environmental and fisherman. >> we will continue to lose our coast to the tune of 16 plus square mile as year. we have lost approximately 1900 square miles. and the reality is we will lose another 750 if nothing is done. >> really is sad.
6:27 pm
all the good fishing down there, all of lit be lost. all of that. what about the little kids? it's -- i'm 78. it's over for me. as lionel sees it they are saving the land but killing his livelihood. but that will start soon. >> in new orleans lose san is that, on the mighty mississippi. a striking rise in number of autism cases in america coming up, we will look at the latest stats and is what they really mean for children and their parents. also. new jersey governor chris christie's lawyers have issue add new report on the bridge scandal and they say the governor did nothing wrong, that is not sitting well with the democrats.
6:28 pm
blatche
6:29 pm
6:30 pm
has been cleared by his own attorneys in the bridge closing scandal. okay, the results were released this afternoon, be uh the report is already coming under attack, and facing ridicule. david chuter has been following this from the very beginning for us and has more on the report and the reaction to it, david. >> given the source and the way the review was with conducted the report will not change anything in the bridge scandal, but it could help chris christie buy some time politically in presidential campaign circles. randy master with the prominent law firm gibson is and dunn held an on camera news conference to announce findings based on his interviews with staff, and his review of staff documents. >> in connection with
6:31 pm
allegations related to the george washington bridge realignment. we found that governor cristty had no knowledge beforehand of this george washington bridge realignment idea. and that he played no role whatsoever in that decision or the implementation of it. >> now, the key phrase no knowledge beforehand, kristy's lawyer said there is evidence that kristy -- that kristy was told about the lane closures in sent, while they happened, that contradicts the governors previous claims he didn't hear anything for months. when asked act the contradiction, the lawyer called it insignificant. now as for having no role that conclusion is based on the available evidence, but key figures remain unavailable, including roll the tape, new jersey official david wild steen, ex-kristy aid bridget kelly who is is
6:32 pm
pictured. and state political operative bill stepy. they have each asserted their fifth amendment right, and are not providing information to anybody. so governor kristy's legal and p.r. advise discoers are trying to shape public perceptions ahead of an on going federal investigation. and a separate state investigation being led by new jersey's legislature. further more, governor cristty who is considering a presidential run is frying to reassure is supporters and fund raisers that he did nothing wrong, and that even his own lawyers can prove his innocence. establishing the governors innocence now is important to kristy's political team, because 2016 presidential race, has begun in terms of recruiting operatives strategists and fund raisers. several of whom were expected to join the campaign have already joined rivals including florida senator, and louisiana governor. and kristy's team began as trying to keep campaign money, from
6:33 pm
committing to other candidates just yet. by the way, governor cristty has just given an exclusive interview. underscoring the report, and proclaiming he did nothing wrong. but, the final judgement on that, however, belongs to federal prosecutors and tony, as you know, their investigation and their conclusions that will take a while. >> yeah. >> glad to see where we are in this story. a report show as big jump american children diagnosed with autism. back in 2012, one in 88 children diagnosed with autism, today one in 68 have the disorder that's an increase of about 30%. the cdc says most are diagnosed after the age of four, even though the disorder can be detected as early as 2. joining me now from washington, is he is the president of the autistic self-advocacy network,
6:34 pm
and an autistic adult. great to see you, thank you for taking the time, let's walk flu a couple of the issues here. your reaction to the report, from the cdc, of a 30% jump in children diagnosed with autism. and in such is a short is period of time. >> so is this is actually in line with with many of our expectations. that awe tim represents between one and 3% of the population. and that now it's diagnostic tools have begun to improve, and we have seen a better diagnostic infrastructure, we with are starting to identify a part of our community autistic people, who have historically have been misdiagnosed. we have been marginalized. we are starting to see the autistic population identified in a way that we haven't previously. sure. >> and what the report
6:35 pm
show ises is is that progress has moved forward in an uneven way. we still see that white children, about 30% more likely than hispanic children to get an autism diagnosis. excuse me, than african-american children, and 50% more likely than hispanic children to access an autism diagnosis. so is what we are skiing here is better diagnosis, and identification, but spread out in a very uneven fashion. what can be done to reverse the trend? >> it is our view what we are seeing is better identification, and a broader diagnostic criteria. not some kind of an autism epidemic. when the united kingdom
6:36 pm
conducted a study on the incident of autisms in adults something unfortunately, we have never done in the united states, it found the same purvey lance in adults as in children. so i think what we really need to be doing is focusing on surfaces and supports across the life span. today one in every three autistic children lacks any access to higher education, in the seven years after they leave high school, so is we think the focus needs to be less on causation, which is where the bulk of research funding and policy focus is right now. and more on recognizing the need for equity and supports for a long marginalized part of our community. can i ask about your life in autism, share your story, and how you are getting along. >> sure is.
6:37 pm
so i was diagnosed when i was 12. i benefited tremendously from occupational therapy and speech pathology services. one area of struggle is i was placed for a number of years in a segregated classroom, and right now autistic students throughout the country face some of the highest rates of segregation of any group of students with a disability. is is it is unfortunate. i had the opportunity to return to the general education, and because of that i had a chance to go to college, and found the autistic self-advocacy network, and worked in public policy to benefit my people. but a lot of people don't get that opportunity. the need to create clearly inclusive schools
6:38 pm
to that more autistic young people can have the opportunities that i had. >> here hear. he is the president of the autistic self-advocacy network. great to talk to you. >> thank you for having me on the show. >> my pleasure. >> colleges and athletic conferences are reacting strongly today to news that college football players can now form unions. the landmark decision cleared the way for players in northwestern university to unionize. but the decision could be a sign of some zero is yous change for all college athletes. michael lees has been following this for us, since it broke, and has -- >> tony, you know it didn't take long for various sports organization to voice their opposition to the idea that caused football players. further sup is porting the expectation that northwestern university is big 10 conference and the ncaa will appeal this.
6:39 pm
not only because the regional director 24 page ruling was with very thorough on that opinion, but also because of the process itself. the case would first have to go to the full national labor relations board, whose members are approved bier congress. that decision cook appealed but it would have is to go in front of the federal appeals court. that would be the last word unless may took it to the street. of course, the justices have the option to take the lower ruling stand. now there are a few e few other key aspects that could produce ripple effects throughout college nets. one, this ruling does not effect public universities because each state has it's own rules of unions such as teachers. but there's a chance that large public employee unions like the service employees international union. in the same way that they help the players association is in this
6:40 pm
case against northwestern. number two, this ruling confirms that northwestern with and other schools and conference whose participate in college football are engaged in inner state commerce, and that's huge because it is the first threshold issue needed for antitrust challenge. it has long argued that it is immune, because it doesn't engage. and finally the ruling concludes that it is undisputed that northwestern sells merchandise to the public with with the players name and number. that's a claim directly conflicting. now talking about compensation is outside of scholarships. >> is yeah. >> i'm a student and i am going to your school to play football, but you are making money off my likeness, kids don't get a cut of that at all. >> beings. literally billions of dollars. the ncaa tournament,
6:41 pm
their contract ten years it is billions of dollars every year. billions. >> kids get nothing. >> what a story. and is the ripples. >> michael, thank you. march 31st, that's the deadline to sign up for the affordable care action to get coverage, and the push is on to get those waiting until the last minute, to register al jazeera is at a pop up health care summit. paul, good to see you, is is the big sign up push here, from the obama administration, actually working? >> it certainly seems to be. they have been busy all day long, they say they are getting 80 people a day. this particular location is in an empty cell phone store here on the 16th street pedestrian mall. it's been very busy all day long, a constant flow of people. but the big news, is
6:42 pm
really for the obama administration. from italy calling folks like the people here, the volunteers and the healthcare navigators they call them, to say job well with done. we with have signed up 6 million people, and just to continue the push ahead of this, on march 31st. one guy we with spoke to, 61 years old, without healthcare for 14 years. here is what he had to say about signing up today. >> the whole thing is just being able to afford it. the company before they had health insurance, but this one doesn't. >> this will be a blessing. >> gist came off of his mother's health care plan, he is smack in the middle of that demo of young healthy people that the government is hoping to sign up.
6:43 pm

the country's rural areas at least 60 people have been kill sod far. there is no known cure. and sri lanka will be subject to a u.n. criminal investigation over human rights abuses. the u.n. human rights council says sri lanka has made little progress towards holding people accountability for atrocities carried out by both the government. fighting ended in 2009, but as lady duff found, a u.n. investigation could complicate the piece. but this time, a resolution tabled by the united states and voted on by the council's other member countries went one step further. it calls for comprehensive investigation of what happened during the civil war.
6:45 pm
the vick is times are also waiting for justice. >> on the streeteds of culmbo that any u.n. investigation will violate the southernty, the government also stood firm. if somebody interferes into this process, unwarranted business, that will definitely stop the reconciliation process. >> thousands of civilians died during the final stages that lasted 26 years. the country's leaders agree. >> they welcome the u.n.
6:46 pm
resolution, but outside areas effects by the war, sentiments are often very different. even before the vote that also condemned for failing to investigate protestors showed their support for the government. who is responsible for what happened during that time. may have begun. it was an investigation they say they won't support, one that it's critics argue is necessary. maria has more from that, other stories making headlines across america today. >> tony, today officials announce they have fired
