the ferry. so they are getting to parts of the ferry that they haven't been able to get to until now. perhaps even to the games room and perhaps even to the caf terria where they believed people who had survived, might well be. 100 families decided to march across the bridge that separates the island from the mainland. the police blocked their way. these protesters were demanding to be able to take their protest all the way to the president in seoul. what they are really upset about is that they fear the bodies of their children are going to decompose if more efforts are not maid to get their children's bodies out of the water. it's a measure of the frustration that is understandable when you have lost your child. they are looking to vent their fury, anger, on anyone. today it was the police who, for some reason blocked their way.

it underlines, really, the distrust that people - that these people who lost loved ones feel. they feel that the - in a sense, the authorities have been dragging their feet. the authorities say it's not the case, they've done all that they can, pointing to the fact that they have 600 divers, several hundred ships. it's not enough to pacify the people who don't believe they have the full account as to why the tragedy happened. >> that was al jazeera's adrian brown. the incident is south korea's worst ferry disaster. as hope fades the parents fear their children are not coming home. harry fawcett reports. >> on a day that christians celebrate resurrection this was the water service on jindo. salvation army volunteers used the campaign where they'd been feeding relatives and rescue workers to pray for the dead. the dead are being brought ashore in greater numbers than

on any of the previous four days. for the first time divers have been able to pull bodies out of the ship itself. >> the guiding routes for us to enter the ferry has been established. it's easier for us to search. we'll have 563 divers on the concentrated search operation. >> at the port descriptions are put up with marker pen on whiteboard. this is how families have bereavement confirmed. as the first bodies are recovered, there's a growing level of acceptsance that children are dead. among many there's anger. >> in the early morning, dozens of parents confronted police near the mainland, saying they wanted to take their complaints all the way to the president in seoul. "where do i find the body?",

says this man whose wife is missing, "let us take her ut, somewhere warm." relatives prepare for a fourth night, waiting for a body interest bring home. >> prayers for the dead fill churches across the country as a pastor tried to hold back tears as they lead services on sunday. >> south korea is one of the the most christian nations in asia. nearly a quarter is protestant and 5 million catholic. a closer look at the challenges facing the search crews. we'll be joined by a maritime analyst who can shed lie on that effort. >> iran says a dispute over one of its nuclear facilities is pretty much over. the vice president said in an interview that iran agreed to redefine of the plant to limit

how much ploout i don't knowium it can make -- plutonium. >> it's a major concession. >> translation: the issue of the iraq heavy water reactor has virtually been disclosed. they called it a sensible offer. >> the deal would slash the output of plutonium, giving the u.n. more oversight. the international talks are expected to restart next month. >> a tale of two syrias. the u.n. says syria removed 80% of weapons, and is on target to remove the stockpile. this activist released an internet video showing footage of people struggling to breathe. other images showed gas cannisters that may have been used in the attack on a village. al jazeera can't independently verify this. but rebel and government forces

blame each other. it's the third gas attack in a week. >> after a 10-month hostage ordeal four french journalists have been reunited with their families. they arrived in france, greeted by francis hollande. they were freed near the turkish border, handcuffed and blindfolded. harry smith had more. >> they looked uncontempt with lopping hair and beards. officials said their morale was good and no disguising their dright at being free. >> the four climbed into a minibus for a trip across down to the local hospital for a check-up. a couple were abducted on that way to aleppo. nicholas and pierre were also captured two weeks later. colleagues in france kept up a public campaign trying to secure their release. it appears that the four had been taken by an unknown group to the border between syria and

turkey, found, bound and gagged. soldiers mistook them for smugglers, once they realised they were speaking french, it took them to a local station. despite the 10-month ordeal doctors say they appeared to be in good health. >> we thank the turkish authority that helped us. it's nice to see the guy. to speak freely. >> one of the men's employers say the release ends an anxious wait for friends and family. >> the first five months were difficult. they had no news, no information where they can be, if they were together. so that's what is half time. after every six weeks, we some

news from the the kidnappers, like proof of life. i didn't see them. families have seen them. so they were showing them in good shape, and making our - making us better. >> harry smith al jazeera. >> a prominent pakistani news anchor is recovering in a hospital after being wounded in a violent attack on saturday. hamid mir was shot at when gunmen opened fire. al jazeera's domenic kay said he had been a critic ofstan's intelligence service. >> for the past 25 years hamid mir reported on pakistani news and current affairs. his talk show on got gets a large audience. but now he is in hospital with three bullet wounds, put there by unknown gunmen.

he was attacked in a car, leaving the airport on the way to the office much police discovered what happened. >> a man opened fire. another man followed him on motorbike. he came up behind him. the driver sped away. >> they chased after him. the driver was not hit. the damage would have been worse. >> this is not the first time somebody targeted hamid mir. it's less than 18 months since the taliban attached a bomb to his car. they failed. hamid mir has been outspoken about attacks used in the province. >> the gunmen reacted angrily. the attack comes at a time when pakistan became one of the most dangerous places in the world for journalists.

something highlighted at a demonstration condemning attacks on the media. >> i came to express anger on those people, saying that we want to negotiate with the - those terrorists who accepted the responsibility of the murder of the media workers. i think the government should make a difference clearly, and announce it, that what is their policy. >> hamid mir told his brother that he believed the i.s.i. would be to blame if they were attacked. the army denied the allegations. >> pakistan is among the top 10 countries where journalists are slain and criminals go free. >> tuesday marks the start of a trial for al jazeera journalists in egypt. three journal lifts have been in gaol for 113, peter greste,

these buildings said that they were surprised at the outcome of geneva, especially that russia had joined in the call for them to arm and evacuated the buildings. they say they'll listen to their commanders, and so far they have told them to stay put, and they say, well you know, we have demands and none have been concretely met at this point. negotiators are going around the region, we have negotiators from kiev, we have the team from the organisation for security in europe. but there's no real concrete outcome of all that. there won't be until the government in kiev turns into legislation all their promises. they talk about anamnesty law, decriminalization. they were promises. there's no law.

setting a date for the referendum on federalism. they have been asking for - the government in kiev saying it could happen on the same day as the presidential elections on may 25th. they want it to happen before, under the scrutiny of international observers. certainly there are sticking points. nothing concrete and once the government at least has one concrete thing in its hands to offer, the tensions could be reduced. >> hoda abdel-hamid, we have heard reports that there was a gun battle in slovyansk. how is the situation where you are right now? >> here the situation is calm. this is the administration building here in don everybody. the pro -- donetsk. the pro-russian activists - inside you have a group of

supporters around them. they are reading poems, listening to music. tensions that are mentioned in the shoot-out could have an impact on what's elsewhere. there are conflicting reports of the shoot-out, defending who you listen to. the story is different. what kiev and moscow agree on is there was a shoot-out and wounded people. who was behind the shoot-out. it's unclear at the moment. >> moscow is pointing the finger at a group, ultra national group who played a huge role in a protest. it even showed footage of a business card that had a phone number and email address that would have proven that one of the men behind the shoot-out was from that group. we called the number. a lady answered and said she had been receiving phone calls.

they had nothing to do with the shoot out. the other side, the government says, yes, there has been a shoot out. we don't know who was behind it. there was a conflicting report and the picture is not clear. >> both parties agree there was a shoot-out, but who was responsible remains to be seen. >> hoda abdel-hamid live in donetsk. thank you for being with us. >> we take you to a crowded st peter's square. more than 100,000 of the faithful filled the sun-filled square. the crowd red allowed prayers in multiple languages, including russian, korean, spanish. it's a holily day. meanwhile thousands of christians flocked to the holly land. pilgrims across the globe took

didn't give for my family. >> almost 1,000 years ago? >> yes. adib is muslim, but holds the key that opens the church of the holy sefacar with christ is believed to have been burredied. >> why entrust your family with this responsibility? >> this is a long story. >> that story starts in 1187. a muslim sultan recaptured jurisdiction from christian crusaders. his followers wanted him to destroy them. he protected the church, he handed over the keys to the same family charged with the care of nearby mosques. adeeb's family. >> he was a smart man. he keep the church in peace. not also the seplacar church, but all the churns. >> adeeb is proud of his

responsibility. >> this is the family tree. >> and his her timiitagheritage. >> it's a large family. >> yes. >> the tradition conditions, through the alleys of jerusalem's circle cities. escorting his son to his destiny. he carries the key to the front door. >> he did fine. as his father, grandfather and more than 100 ancestors have done. this same the francis cans who run a portion of the church. there's another reason a muslim family keeps the key. some factions don't get along. adeeb and his family are neutral trusted observers. >> on this day, like every day, another muslim family opens the church. because it is not holy ground,

doesn't mean it's not sacred. >> this is the holy day for the christians. >> how do you feel every time you walk in? >> not good - wul. >> so on this eater the keys to christ's tombs are and will continue to be in your hands. >> the church has been pilgrimaged destination, dating back to its construction in 330 ad. >> an about-face by general mills - the company behind some of the most popular cereals reverses its stance after a loud uproar by consumers. >> man verses machine - a massive coal digging machine sets its site on a village. >> bernard hopkins wins another

without power steering problems. after an investigation, the issue was found to cause 12 crashes and two injuries. the documents blame the auto safety watchdog for failing to push for a recall. g.m. admitting that it didn't do enough to take care of the power steering problem and is said to close the investigation because of the g.m. recall. >> germany has been a leader in going green, but some of their plan is backfiring. as they shut down the plants, there's a surge in the us of cole. one of the worst polluting fossil fuels. as coal production expand, it could destroy the place they call home. >> it's a multi mega tonne monster - the biggest mobile industrial machine. wider than the isle tower is -- eiffel tower is tall, and churping out 50,000 tonnes of ground coal every hour.

year. >> the company running the mine says that coal is needed as nuclear energy is phased out and wind and solar energy production gathers steam. >> brown coal is a necessary part of the energy transition. we can cut the energy production when solar and wind produces energy. on days when there's no wind and sun, we can increase production to make up for the shortfall. >> >> this woman supports a shift to renewables. there's no need to expand coal if there's going to be an energy resurgence. her village is slated to disappear in 10 years time unless the regional government changes its mind. >> renewables supply 22% of germany's energy compared to 9% in america. >> underwater challenges of the

week. >> separatists remain defiant. they accepted a 4-way deal that was brokered. a media plan to convince the separatist to vender. two died in a gunfight in the east. >> death tolls rise of divers. they recover more bodies. the number of dead is more than 50. it's the worst ferry disaster. >> relatives of the missing passenger is demanding answers. they are waiting for news. adrian brown reports that they have been watching the events unfold on the tv cleans. it's one of the saddest places on earth. the gymnasium is one of the temporary home. grief is all around you. among those enduring an agonising day.

kim's daughter is unaccounted for. these are recent pictures of kim on the left. a daughter her mother described as intelligent. optimistic and mun. >> she was a daughter and a friend. >> a daughter she wants to believe is alive. >> this is kim, a devout christian, she got a call from her daughter at 9:57am. when the ferry listed dangerously to one side. >> she said, "mum, pray to god. we are also praying. i hope god is protecting her. if god decides to take her, there's nothing i can do. she's getting buy on two hours sleep a day. she spends much of her time. they have been through the full range of emotions, anger, denial for some, and acceptance that they may never see the child again. >> mrs. kim's husband spent the

past four days demanding answers, on this occasion challenging officials over the true state of the vessel. his daughter managed to call him twice. he told him to stay on board. >>. >> translation: as of now i don't know whether the kids are alive or dead. i want to believe they are alive. i think they are dead. >> like many parties of the missing he's angry and frustrated over the response to the tragedy, and why no one can explain how this all happened. >> for more on the ferry accident we are joined by captain and maritime consultant jim staples, joining us from boston. captain staples, thank you for being was. >> good morning. the ferry's captain has been arrested on suspicion of negligence and abandonment and he defended his decision,

blaming the weather conditions. so, captain, as a merchant mariner with 20 years of experience, do you buy that excuse? is there a logical reason to order the command? >> actually, the captain's first responsibility is to the crew and the passengers on the vessel. his decision-making was slow in trying to abandon the vessel. the first command should have been to get the people out of there and worry about the sea temperature later. they had time to get the life rafts off the vessel and start to put people in it. that would have been the time to do it, when the ship had problems. we are hearing that this happened quickly, it wasn't as if he had plenty of time to rebalance the vessel. this was a decision he should have made immediately, to evacuate the people and get them off the ship. that's his first priority and his responsibility. >> you said this happened

quickly, if he ordered them to evacuate earlier, would it have made a difference? >> absolutely. they would have been able to get the life rafts into the water and get people outside the vessel. a lot of people were contained in the vessel, so he would have been able to get them to the open spaces where they could have, if they had to, as a last resort into the water. his assumption of water being cold and the currents is true. the first responsibility is to get the people to the outside to where they have the capability of getting off the vessel. staying inside the ship was not the thing to do. this was a situation happening very, very quickly and he needed to get the people out quickly, and he didn't do that. >> at this point, is there a chance that those people are still alive? >> we hope that they are alive. we are into the fourth, fifth day of this happening. my feeling is that, you know, the possibility yes, there could

be vehicles alive, and as time goes on, we feel the limit or probabilitiy of that is probably not so. into >> and captain, more than 500 dives are participating. what conditions are they dealing with? >> the current, the weather, and the oil that is being dispersed from the vessel, the cargo inside the cargo holds. you have to imagine that nothing inside the vessel was secure. so there'll be furniture floating around, obstructions. generally they don't have to tend with those, it will be obstructed diving and difficult for them. >> we understand there was a third mate at the helm when the captain disappeared. he's been charged with abandonment. why would that happen. >> well, there's a different mate on the watch, depending on how the watch structure is set up. that is not alarming that the

third mate was on the bridge at the time. uably at 8 o'clock in the morning, that's when the person is on the 0800 watch. what is alarming is the area that he was transiting is a narrow passage. there's a lot of traffic and for him to leave the bridge with an inexperienced person, that is alarming to me. that was the position where he should have been on the vessel where it was free or clear. with traffic, and navigational. >> he was on the bridge. it sounds like he was not. >> given that he is not doing all of those things were in fact proper protocol. what should happen now. >> that will be left up to the legal system to see what happens to him. there'll be repercussions coming from this. he'll lose his licence. whether he spends gaol time, i'm

not sure. definitely there'll be legal ramifications coming down on him. >> captain jim staples joining us from boston. thank you so much for being with us. >> my pleasure. >> speaking of boston, runners preparing for a big race. 36,000 people are expected to take part in monday's race, and this year's event will feature a list of new security measures. 100 security cameras will be added and organizers can talk to the runners along the 26 mile race. organizers extended invitations for those that weren't act to the run. >> last year's violence will be on everyone's minds. erica pitzi spoke to two brothers bonded by the tragedy. >> the crowd had gone from cheers and applause for the runners to screams and cries. the noises, first the explosion, and the chaos from the crowd -

both men knew it was a bad sign. >> those men are these two brothers. jp and paul norredon of massachusetts were stopping along boylston street in boston waiting for a friend to finish. they heard the first explosion closer to the finish line. >> i thought it was probably a gas explosion, like a mann hole cover blow off. >> they tried to get away from the crowd, climbing after the barricades. there was not enough time. 12 seconds later another explosion erupted next to them. >> when i looked down this whole leg was ripped open. i was on fire. >> i was in shock. some reason my body wouldn't let me. >> nearby medics and people rushed to help them. >> they are working on jp and paul. >> in that moment. both men lost my white leg.

bonding the brothers. only a couple of years apart, they were close. they ate meals and played basketball. we don't play basketball, but he has a pool table. i'll go and play pool. we were getting back to our new normal. >> to document their journey to the normal. the brothers wrote a back. 12 seconds, two brothers and the marathon changed their lives. life is different now. since then the brothers endured 50 surgeries. they suffered burns on more than half of the bodies, paul spent eight days in a coma. >> when he came out, his first thought, his long-time girlfriend may not want to be with an amputee. she was seriously injured in the attack and it made them closer.

last summer they brought a house together. in september they took another step, involving a wedding themed christmas tree. >> she asked me -- he asked me to marry him. >> i didn't drop on one knee. >> he had a good excuse. >> sorry i can't do it, i only have one knee. >> humour helps them heel. >> how was it, pretty good. >> no. >> their family and friends truly gave them strength, none more than their mum. >> when paul got out of his coma. i thought everything was going to be okay. jp started to take a turn. it was like you get good news from one hospital, bad news from another. >> liz nordon is grateful his sons were alive. maritime monday changed them too. >> we have accepted it, it's a little sad.

the simply things they used to do was a challenge. i'm talking every expect of their lives. >> in the past year, the nordon brothers had been back from the site once. >> it was for a fundraiser. otherwise they have no interest being here. they don't want to look back at the pat. they have their sights set on the future. >> physically recovery is far from over. jp is in pain when he walks, and has to have two more surgeries on his leg. emotionally... >> i'm happier now than a year ago. >> it was the best time of my life. we bought a house, got engaged. the realisation propels the brothers to share their story about sifing and living life to the full. >> it took a tragedy for us to

live our lives. >> three were kill. 260 others injured. in the next hour we'll tell you how an amputee who lost her leg is bringing hope to the victims who never thought they'd walk again. >> a painful administration, a platt on mate of pat tilman came toward saying he may have fired shots in a friendly fire accident in afghanistan. it happened 10 years ago when tilman's platt on was split in two. steven elliott is telling estn that they thought they were targeted by the enemies and didn't realise the men were from their own reason. elliott said: >> tilman gave up his multi million career as a defensive back with the arizona cardials and enlisted in the

wake of the non-attacks. it's 10 years on tuesday when he was killed. >> hopkins secured his right to be called a legend. he retained the championship titles. 19 years his junior, michael eaves caught up with hopkins to see what was in his fountain of youth. >> with a win, bernard hopkins became the oldest boxer to gain two titles. it is a guaranteed hall of famer. >> why is this boxer fighting. >> hopkins is not about how his career will end, but how it started. >> bernard hopkins grew up in the housing the intersection. north of downtown philadelphia, a neighbour hood known for crime. hopkins claims he was arrested

more than 30 times as a teenager. everything from assault to robbery, and carries the stars from three stabbings as proof. >> three lives lead to a prison term. hopkins was sentenced to 18 years imprisonment. >> about a city block long, i didn't know who was coming out the back. >> they have no idea of the world that i come from. >> it didn't take long for happen kins to realise -- hopkins to realise he didn't want to by part of that world. he was rled for good behaviour. this prison me discovered islam and boxing, a combinics used for a new beginning. sport giving him the means to be a decorated athlete. winning 11 titles in three different actions. >> it remain focussed i believe

i must have gone back, but not stayed back there. >> to be motivated to continue. when you forget about what got you through those times, we didn't have the six or seven figures, a house to look at, the options to do this or do that. you have to go back until we get into a position to realised how to balance yourself. >> hopkins spent his career keeping others off balance, outside the ring he doesn't drink or smoke. he made millions in real estate and is a partner. he is a typical image of a thug now puj lift. >> i'd like to bring up a 49-year-old man in a 29-year-old body. bernard hop kilometres per hour, look at him. >> so it was no surprise when hop kilometres per hour

appeared -- hopkins appeared on capitol hill to announce a new government study to understand the respects of repeated blows to the head. a reality of the sport. >> there's always a risk. i was greeted. the bigger the rift in everything. but we all take risks. this risk that i have been taking is a risk that i would rather take than none at all. >> that was al jazeera's michael eaves. >> adding variety to the dinner table can be the challenge. a family in peninsula looked for a way to add meat to their meals and created a stand in called meat. it doesn't have additives or chemicals, which is what makes meat so meat. ism meet is very simply ingredient. beans, organic clutin free --

an outside mediator is heading in for mediations. hoda abdel-hamid, given that the russian separatists are refusing the agreement between the u.s. , russia, european union, and ukraine, what do they want is this. >> little at this point. the pro-russian activists want a guarantee that their rights will be protected, and that the russian language will be the second official language of the country. and the demands will be met. so far they have had a lot of promises, no concrete legislation. that's one of the main issues. as i said, i wanted to bring you up to pace. they are outside the building. they are piecele. their sympathizers came to wish

them, i suppose, happy easter. you probably can hear the easter bells ringing. the atmosphere here at the moment. everybody is waiting and seeing what will happen next. >> in the middle of all this violence, how is the church responding. it sounds like we will hear church bells behind you. >> sorry, could you repeat that. there are church bells behind me. i didn't hear of the question. >> given the church bells. in the middle of this violence, how will they respond. >> well, the church celebrations are going on. there's a sense of normalcy. you have the buildings that have been seized and had barricades. there is worry among most of the people. how do you think it will unfold.

bags being carried to the morgue. they are being identified by families, and loved ones. and a near tent. they are adding the names of all those found and most of the names are those of children, the average age 18 years old. it's been an emotionally charged day. divers managed to make headway. clearly weather conditions have improved. there are access points to the ferry, so they are getting to parts of the ferry that they haven't been able to get to until now. perhaps to the games room and the cafeteria where they believe people had survived might well bee. >> in about 100 families decided to march across the bridge that separates this island from the mainland, but the police blocked their way. these protesters demanded to be able to take the protest to the

president in seoul. what they are upset about is they fear the bodies of their children will decompose if more efforts are not made to get their children's bodies out of the water. it's a measure of frustration which is understandable. they are looking to vent their fury and anger. today it was the police who were blogging their -- blocking their way. it underlines the trust that the people who lost loved ones feel right noum. they feel -- right now. they feel that authorities have been dragging their feet. they say that is not the case, they have done all that they can, and have 600 divers involved. several hundred ships. it's not enough to pacify the people who don't believe they have the full pact as to why the tragedy happened. >> that was al jazeera's adrian brown. >> it is south korea's worst

lawsuits. koourt ni keeley joins us with that story. >> general mills is changing the legal terms back to what they were on the website. because it was causing too much concern among consumers. the company said "we are sorry we started down the past, and we hope you will accept the apologise." >> general mills added language to its website to prevent many customers suing the company, ever. >> if a customer entered a swooep take or downloaded a coup job, they agreed to a dispute being solved by an arbitrator, not a judge and jury. in a reversal there's no mention of arbitration. the provisions general mills posted were never enforced. nor will they be. this policy known as forced arbitration is common among companies, seeking ways to prevent users and customers

joining together and suing for millions. >> it's a creative way for them to stay out of court. extensive litigation. i never heard of anyone doing something like that. people getconcerned because litigation is time consuming. >> arbitration may offer advantages over traditional arbitration. it's unlikely a case would be taken, the process could be quick. by going to arbitration, there's no court room scenario and no chance of winning over a jury. the appeals process is almost impossible. >> to the extent of being forced to do it, i wouldn't say it's fair. at the same time it's legal. >> stockbrokers bur youred arbitration for decades.

will not have to be worried about some of the things that young women and young men worry about today. >> that sounded a lot like a presidential candidate talking not just a proud future grandmother. >> dan, is it a foregone conclusion that hilary will run in 2016. >> i have been saying for some time while i think it's a good possibility, she's doing everything she needs to to preserve that option. when you have to make that decision, you can't go based on reading tea leaves. you have to sit with your family saying do you want to go through the meat grinder in two, three years and sacrifice everything. this is a woman going nonstop. there's health concerns that have to be balanced. while it's likely she does it. i don't think it's an automatic

slam dunk. >> do you think she's ready to go through the meat gripeder. >> it's a wonderful spinning this. and a lot of flak. we know she's running for the presidency. there's so much pressure to run. there's so much disappointment. she was set up to be secretary of state. they've been human icing her for the last 10-15 years specifically because of what happened in 2008. this woman is running for the presidency. >> she's trying to do a balancing act of both looking human and every day in normal. all of this is part of script. i'm not surprised. nobody will be surprised when she hits the go but on. speaking of presidential politics, rand paul fuels speculation of running by

travelling to iowa, new hampshire, he's in milwaukee. >> last week they took a jab. let's take a listen. >> i think he feels the lowest common denominator. >> you and i can have an honest agreement of when we should leave afghanistan. what the policy would bee. >> lenny, the lowest common denominator. are most established republicans thinking along these lines. >> people are siing of seeing the ted cruz rand paul - there's a lot of resentment from the tea party wave. that's where the pivot has to be. they'll have to look presidential. if they push the rhetoric getting them into the senate. the congress, it will not be enough. that's why senator paul is going

to places such as chicago and milwaukee to start and continue the pivot. that's they they went to the university and started with a lot of african american college students, to continue the pivot to look presidential, not extreme and look like someone leaving a divers america, not just red state america. >> is this enough to shake things up and mobilize the republican base. what do you think. >> rand paul personifies the split and the problem that republicans have. he's one of the finaling people that excite the base and potentially expand the base by appealing beyond the typical older white voter that the republicans have been relying on. you may be the best thing to happen. >> the problem is he scares the bejesus out of the wing of the party. that's why you see people openly

trashing him. you'll see it more and more. he threatens politics and interests in policies. >> it will be fascinating to see whether that civil war breaks out. and you see the republicans write-off younger voters, and the tea party in an effort to hold on to the old-style country club republican, economic conservatives, and leaf alone the stunt yoi to move into the -- opportunity to move into the 21st century. >> this is not the worst split you have seen. ronald reagan was a scared and incumbent president. there is potential for someone like a rand paul to pivot successfully and get the republican party on track and the country on track if the pivot is successful. >> speaking of tracking the

company. let's move to obamacare. >> on thursday, 8 million signed up for obamacare, but they didn't release the state by state breakdowns. a story of the obamacare exchanges is really 51 stories, one for each state in d.c. given the volatility, dan, can the democrats count this as a success in midterm elections? >> no. you see it in most swing states where democratic encum pants are up. they are running away from it. the rirny is if you -- irony is if you look 10-20 years down the track, i'm not a fan of obamacare, but it the could be a success and lead to a profound hold on younger, minority voters that the republicans can never get back. >> bushing back, you may not be a fan, a lot of democrats are. obamacare saying "we surpassed

expectations, we set up this number and got 8 million. what do you say. >> unemployment is down. we haven't seen people paying into premiums. invincibles are not signing up. there's rising premiums and a lot of people losing their plans. there's a hot mess involved. we are not going to be able to sort this out. as long as that's the pace, democrats will creep away from it. we'll see senators going after some when it comes to the energy policy. the democrats do not want to make obama into a friend. you'll see a conditioned bag of mixed results regardless of the numbers the white house came out. if you liked your plan, you could keep the plan, they said. that was not true. why wouldn't this be different. several months later 20% of people did not sign up and pay a

premium, or the invincible stayed away. let me go back to your point. affordable care act is popular with a big segment of the democratic base, but the minority voters, and younger voters helped by obamacare, off the bat, are the least likely to turn out. that's why you see democratic encum pants downplaying for running away from obamacare, they made the calculation that it's a political loser, regardless of whether it's a policy winner. >> they are not saying everyone is running away. certain states are aggressively running towards it. you have 1.5 million signed up. that's roughly one-fifth of u.s. population up until april 15th. the issue is whether some states are running away and others holding on to it. >> i'm not talking about states,

but politicians. >> but you are talking about california, one of the most liberal states when it comes to national politics that you find. look at what will happen in louisiana and north carolina. if you run obamacare, and this economy, you will not keep the democratic seat in the senate. >> thank you both for joining us. >> every year hundreds of thousands try to cross the border in search of a better future in the united states. an estimated 60,000 of them are unaccompanied minors. many are trying to scope violence in central america. as paul beban reports, they face other dangers on their journey. >> a vast remote and dangerous desert surrounds the city of

morning? are you ready? how do you feel? . >> a little bit scary. >> we asked them if we could follow them when they left. they said the moment was for them, not the cameras. >> we thought it was the last time we'd see them. we are back at the hotel on the mexican side of the border in nogales. the guys - we stayed in touch. they tried to cross and they were picked up in the nightie a group of narcos who told them it was their territory and they got robbed. the guys are holed up in the hotel. they think somebody might have tipped off the narco, and feel like they stand up. they are darker skinned. they won't come out of the room, they don't want the cameras

here, they feel they are so out of options that they are going to turn themselves in to allow themselves to be deported home. the situation is more desperate than ever. >> finally evert came out and told us what happened. >> we though that those people come up from the hills and told us that we not supposed to be there. >> were they armed? >> yes, they are armed. >> the national parkos, band dits, whatever they were, took their money, cellphones and killed their spirits. axel was so rattled he thought of turning himself in to u.s. authorities. they were going to spend a day or two in the hotel wondering what happened to their dreams, stolen in the desert. >> don't miss the grounth-breaking series "borderland," taking you behind the immigration debate. we introduce you to six strangers with different points
