this is historic progress and shows how the forecast is working as it was supposed to. >> the white house had said 7.5 million people had signed up for insurance before the open enrollment period closed, the cbo puts the number of people covered more in the line of 6 million but that's for two main reasons. one, some americans won't pay the premium, so they'll get dropped from their insurance, and you're considered half a person in terms of how long you'll have insurance in 2013. >> libby, half a person. the costs are lower than expected. why is that the case? >> we're looking at a cost of $36 billion this year, $5 billion less than anticipated, one of the reasons for that is because insurance companies are holding down costs. and one way that variable to do that, giving americans fewer

choices in terms of doctors they see but this money is paying for subsidies to help americans get insurance. why is it costing the u.s. government $36 billion for this law? it's because of the subdisand getting more people on medicaid rolls, america is helping with that and for text credits for small businesses. >> libby casey, thank you. fire has destroyed ownership 2,000 homes in the chilian city of valparaiso. daniel schweimler takes us through . >> all around me are residents who have come back to this debris, to this devastation to see if they can pick any

"real money"'s ali velshi joins us. there is reasons to be optimistic right? >> making us feel like there's a spring fall after the winter chill that helps everything from car sales to manufacturing. retail sales jumped 1.1%, biggest monthly gain since september of 2012. the february number was revised

upward as well. .7%, more than double what was originally estimated. this all matters tony. as you've been told four million times out of my mouth, more spending adds to optimism that u.s. businesses will become more willing to invest and rehire. this has been boosted obviously tony by this job growth that's averaged 195,000 new jobs in february and march. first time jobless acclimation dropped to a new level in nearly seven years ago since the great recession started. if we're below 300,000 people claiming for unemployment benefits for the first time you might be doing okay. >> so the sunny outlook does not extend worldwide. what are economists worried about? >> weak growth and slowing

growth are a problem. let's start with europe and japan. the international monetary fund which does a lot of this where forecasting thinks growth in the euro will be weak. the imf estimates a barely better uptick of 4.4%. one japan is all 22 too familiar with, falling prices or deflation. why care about deflation? why is that a problem? the problem is if businesses see profits fall, they become less willing to spend or expand or hire, and economies tend to stagnate. deflation is a very dangerous situation. there is also the idea of the developing world, the emerging markets. china is expected to grow 7.5% but that's way down from the 10% plus that china used to produce. similar story in india, after china and japan, asia's third largest economy is expected to

grow 5.4%. from america's perspective seems fantastic but india was growing last year 9%. >> what's loaded up for tonight? >> you're probably too young for this. but 25 years ago that the savings and loan debacle hit the economy. since the 2008 collapse whether your money is actually safer. >> are ali, the man shot me a compliment, love that! sinkholes are a problem in one part of mexico city. as rachel levin says, they are on the edge. >> teetering offer the brink. neighbors crowd aroundas emergency workers hurry to fill

this sinkhole. it's not an uncommon site in this working class neighborhood. it's one of the city's most crowded neighborhoods and one of the most precarious where abandoned mines lie meters below hundreds of makeshift homes. engineer gustavo and his men inspect this mine credit located months ago. in. >> it is a difficult problem and an urgent one. we can't just fill in the hole. we know it's there and it's dangerous. >> reporter: the abandoned mine is 18 meters below the surface and more than 200 meters wide and it could take months to secure it. people most likely started mining here in the 1930s and what they were looking for was material to build houses throughout the city. so far 900 mines have been discovered but city officials tell us they have no idea how many actually exist. that's because the construction

companies didn't keep records. lupita moved here 40 years ago, and although she knew mines existed she had no idea her home sits on top of one. >> at first i was frightened but the engineers told me to trust them because the mine is deep below the surface so nothing will happen. >> reporter: mines aren't the only threats below the surface. a broken sewage pipe created this gaping hole in the middle of a busy avenue. one of the main reasons the service is so fragile in this city is it's built on top of a huge lake. in the mid 1500s whether the spanish invaded they drained the water but left a complicated form of irrigation. why back here petra watches

anxiously. she lies awake at night worrying the mine could collapse and swallow her up. rachel levin, al jazeera, mexico city. coming up a reaction as the kremlin is accused of sending henchmen into ukraine. and sentencing day for a corrupt official who swindled a small town out of millions of dollars.

>> returning to the crisis in ukraine now, president obama spoke with vladimir putin for the first time in two weeks. today's phone call comes as the united states and other western nations say there's overwhelming evidence that russia is the cause of the unrest in eastern

ukraine. mike viqueria has the story. >> everything the white house is going to say, their account of this conversation is pretty much going to be the opposite of what the kremlin has put out, i think we can be guaranteed of that. the first hint we have about the white house attitude of what's happening in the eastern ukraine as this crisis continues to unfold is another phone call the president had with a head of state earlier today, this with francois hollande where the white house said prorussian separatist from moscow has intensified the situation in ukraine. the spokesman jay carney said time and time again that this was not organic, the capital of the procheses where armed bands are taking over buildings. these are provocation he of people with help from moscow. here is their version of what the conversation with president obama went like.

flas protests have erupted against the kiev government, did result of the unwillingness of the kiev government to take into account the interest of eastern ukrainian residents. the talks with ukraine, russia, are are u.s. and eu, and may 21st elections to take place in ukraine, they're focusing a great deal on that. >> absolutely. mike, the white house confirmed that cia director john brennan vistaed ukraine. what was the significance of that trip? >> it's very interesting, the white house prefaced these comments by saying, they normally don't discuss these trips, but john brennan goes all over the world including moscow. but he shows up in kiev in the middle of this unrest that has

stretched from last fall into the spring and has peefn heightened -- even heightened, the white house has again rattled that saber against broad sectors of the russian economy. i asked jay carney whether those had been triggered yet or perhaps waiting -- russian troops spilling over the border into ukraine, those have been massed for quite some time. here is carney's response. >> we have been working with our allies. we ourselves are assessing the powers we have and the action we could take which can could include -- could include more sanctions and there are a variety of options available even within the realm of sanctions. so we'll continue in those deliberations and obviously, let you know if and when we're making -- or taking further action.

>> so the question tony as you recall in the hague two weeks ago, president obama sat down with other g-7 leaders, all we know these sanctions have not been imposed yet. the are question comes, when and if they will still be on board when those sanctions come. tony are mr. ambassador, thank you for coming. >> good to be here. >> do you believe the russian foreign minister when he denies any meddling from moscow in eastern ukraine? >> no. no one does. no one believes this man. >> no one does? >> no. this is same government. this is same man who said that there were no russian troops in crimea. >> right. >> this is man who has no credibility on this issue. in the face of all evidence that these are russian trained and equipped, these are russian forces, they -- they cannot be

local disgruntled citizens of ukraine. because they all show up in same uniform, no markings, no insignia, same weapons, same russian-issued weapons, this man has no credibility. >> so i'm going to drive to some kind of understanding of what might be the end game here. how would it be in russia's interest to destabilize ukraine? it doesn't want a civil war on its border, or does it? what does it get from a further escalation of this thing? >> it is hard to figure. i don't think the russian people are interested in a conflict with ukraine. by the way, i don't think it's a civil war we're concerned about. it's a war, from the -- initiated by the russian he against ukrainians. it is not a civil war. it's ukrainian forces battling against invading russian forces.

the russian people don't want this, ukrainian people clearly don't want this. there are some parts, people in eastern ukraine i'm prepared to believe i've talked to some who remember the old soviet days and would like to go back to them. but this is not wide -- it is the only person who is thinking about this is mr. putin and we don't understand how he thinks. >> okay so do you see the planned meeting, i guess it's later this week between the eu, the u.s., russia and ukraine easing tensions at all? >> it's possible. it's possible. the russians however are going in with impossible demands. they're going in with unacceptable demands that essentially the ukrainian government agree to dismember itself which it's clearly not going to do. the ukrainian people even in that part of ukraine don't want that to happen. ukrainian people even in eastern ukraine want to stay part of a whole ukraine, a united ukraine.

while there is a possible this could ease some tensions the russians have to be willing to take no for an answer on some things. >> let me ask this. the united states is considering supplying arms to ukraine. what do you think of that as an option just a trial balloon, something that is being seriously considered? what is this line? >> i think this is being seriously considered. i hope it is. the ukrainians have requested arms not offensive weapons, they're not asking for tanks and jet fighters and this kind, they're asking for fume, for -- fuel for their transports, they're asking for food and we provided some food. they're asking for ammunition, anti-tank weapons so defensive weapons they're asking for and i believe that we're being -- we're considering it and i think we should provide it. >> mr. gosh, as always a

pleasure to talk to you, william taylor, former ambassador, glad to have you. >> glad to be here. >> can face trial via video link because rebels are holding him. saif gadhafi, he and 39 other gadhafi era lieutenants face crimes for ordinances. can human rights watch says they have been given limited access to their attorneys. national elections have topped the widely considered 2009 presidential result. preliminary results say there are two front runners but election officials say they've only counted 10% of the votes. so far there are 870 is complaints this could affect the outcome of the count. hotly disputed,.
