data in favor of split second stock trading firms. whoa, what is all this means? "real money" with ali velshi starts a special series on high frequency trading. someone wrote a book that's really caused a bit of a sedge sensation. >> yes. >> and the question becomes: are markets rigged because of it. >> that's actually the question. michael lewis does say markets are rigged. i've worked on high trad high fy trading for years. there are a lot of arguments tony for and against high frequency trading. front running trades meaning they buy a stock before you do and they sell it to you for a higher price and by the way, this can all happen within 1 second. high frequency tradings, the

market briefly lost 1,000 points only to recover within a few minutes. there is also a concern tony that it is not a level playing field because high frequency traders can pay for special access to live needs from the stock exchanges. they literally put their servers up against the stock exchange's servers so they can execute trades faster. again we are talking about fractions of a second and tony they are completely unregulated. so critics say high frequency trading exacts a toll, death by a thousand cuts, bringing down, high frequency trading has added liquidity of the markets. there's always a buyer or a seller.

overfrequency could damage the market and anyone could have access to the market as high frequency traders as long as they pay for it. >> i want to know what comes up on the extended version of the show coming up tonight but. >> they are starting to get into the game, there is no regulation on high frequency traiting, state and federal levels they have all gotten into it, some of them are probably looking into it because of all the not notory around michael lewis's book. >> let me tell you a little bit more about ali's program, "real money" goes to a full hour, monday through friday. still ahead on the program, why the deadliest avalanche on everest ever, could come with a disastrous impact on a country needing tourism dollars.

hundreds of people in south sudan targeted for their ethnicity. who could be to blame coming up next on al jazeera america.

consider this. the news of the day plus so much more. answers to the questions no one else will ask. >> it seems like they can't

agree to anything in washington no matter what. >> the men who guide climbers to the world's tallest mountain, nepal's government said today it will consider the sherpas' demands. roxana saberi last been following the story all day. roxana. >> a total sherpa boycott would harm the climbing season on mt. everest. and the ethnic minorities in nepal who rely on the tourism to make a living.

>> it was unthinkable to lose so many of my friends in the avalanche. >> anger and uncertainty are growing. some sherpa guides have quit. others are still deciding whether to boycott the climbing season, set to start next month. more than 300 foreigners have permission to climb everest over the next 12 months. 12 are with alpine ascents international. lost five of the roughly 40 sherpas in the avalanche. cancel the expedition. but the climbers are staying put at base camp. they have paid $6500 each. and they are seeing if the sherpas will step in. they not only carry the gear but cook the food. >> it is not only the people who planned, there are a lot of other like the lodges or a lot of business that flourish along the trail. >> reporter: a top guide can

earn around $5,000 in three months. that's nearly ten times the country's average annual salary. that kind of money as tragedy shows comes at great risk. so the sherpas and their supporters want more compensation for the victims' families and insurance. >> the sherpas who are going up the mountains and risking their lives, those people being treated that way it's like not fair. >> nepal's government says it will set up a task force to investigate the sherpas' demands. >> second brother she has lost on mt. everest. she says this brother was the breadwinner for his whole family. he made about $5,000 during the three months he worked. to support them all. >> joining me from seattle is

pasong sherpa. you have been in touch with sherpas in nepal about what's been happening and reaction to the disaster there on everest. what have you been hearing? >> well, what i gather so far was that obviously, the sherpas right now are all mourning of what has happened so far. >> right. >> and you know, just right now, the whole community in the silicombu the everest region are heart broken what's going on. >> i want to understand the dispute a bit better here. is it fair the dispute is principally over economics, the sherpas want a bigger cut of the climbing fees and a bigger insurance payout of the families of those killed on the mountain? >> well, definitely, the insurance is one of the things

that should be really a factor in, especially climbing sherpas. i mean this is biggest incident i've ever heard, killing that many sherpas in the history of everest, climbing since sir edmond hilary and shepherd did. i think the commercial climbing organizers and the government nepal really have to have a better insurance policy for the climbers who are risking their lives for the safety of the guest climbers or the climbers who wish to have a dream to climb everest. because the sherpas are the one who is putting their heart and soul and their life on the line. >> absolutely. >> and it is absolutely necessary. the individual of that, these sherpas are there, the single source of income for the families, five or six, the

average four families there, depending on the sherpa who just died. and so this actually impacts the rest of their life. and it's you know, are. >> let me ask you another question. let me sneak one maybe two more here. is the work more unsafe now than it has been in the past? i'm wondering in addition to the economic issues that we're talking about, are working conditions themselves in issue, and a part of this dispute? >> right. i think that's definitely, that's one of the reasons and you know in the past we have some passionate climbers but you know, the everest, the climbing business kind of change over the last ten, 15 years, and becomes more commercial where a lot of climbers who are -- who would wish to climb on everest, are not well experienced. they don't have the skills to climb. so what that does is it puts

extra pressure on the sherpas who are setting the ropes, the crafts, putting the ladders, they have to do that and they're literally taking all the supplies, carrying average 60 pounds on their back to put along there. so there's a lot more recorder for the sherpas than -- more lowered than there used ton. >> is the threat of a boycott, is that real? >> especially -- i don't know the -- i think right now, i think the mountain -- the climbing community and the government of nepal should really listen, what the sherpas are asking primarily because it's unprecedented thing that happened. i think you know, i don't -- what i gather, i don't know it's real, but what i gather from one of the organizers is some climbers want to do nothing about climbing they want to pack and leave but some people are

demanding to climb, despite what's going on so far and i think that is going to put their life on risk and more sherpas life in risk. >> pasong sherpa is joining us from seattle. thank you. >> thank you. >> targeted because of their ethnicity, the government said south sudanese rebels, killed people who were hiding in hospital he churches anding and mosques. anna cabill joins us. >> small sister town of racona, carrying building materials in their heads.

presumably going to set up new dwelling places for themselves. we saw bodies along the road but we saw the real horrors when we arrived at the mosque bought just outside the base, there were piles of bodies, bloated decomposing just left out in the sun. when we went out in the mosque we found just eight corpses inside but according to the human rights vectors many more were credit massacred inside. by the time we arrived most of them had been removed but there was evidence that something really horrific had taken place. >> earlier i spoke to allison giffin, the director of peace operations at the stemson center, i asked her if south sudan is heading towards a civil war.

>> right now we have the sudan people's liberation army which is essentially the army of south sudan that serves under salva kiir and we have the army in opposition and those are both individuals and armed parts of the former people's liberation army of south sudan that has split off and now working under the command of riek machar. it is not as simple as that. it is a occupation group of the former government ever south sudan that has grouped together. >> right. has this political standout that is spilling out in horrible ways in these cities in south sudan, have we gotten to a place now where the political standoff in the cup has turned into an out and out tribal ethnic war in south sudan, are we there yet?

>> there is definitely the use of these tensions that are causing what are war crimes and crimes against humanity essentially. the violence is widespread and systematic. i don't want to characterize it as an outright civil war. root causes of this conflict, it is a warning sign that things will escalate and get worse. that's why the peace keeping community and the u.n. needs to be prepared to deal with this confrontation for months if not years to come. >> that was allison giffen of the stimson center. residents say they heard a series of blasts early this morning when a fire broke out at a packaging and recycling plant. spread to a nearby chemical warehouse. no one was injured. in greece one person died and

several people injured in easter day celebrations. at least three americans were hurt when a fire work exploded outside a church in san torini. fireworks were common each year. rival churches light fireworks and fire them at each other's bell towers. and in syria, u.n. secretary-general, ban ki-moon fears the elections result. ian hoder reports. >> a campaign to reelect syrian president bashar al-assad is underway. he has not nominated himself but he says he will if the people

want. there are people who don't want assad as their leader. in fact the war was a consequence of an uprising against his rule. >> who should i vote for, the man who killed many people? >> reporter: even if some of the millions of syrians who have left their country want to cast their ballot they won't be able to. the government can't carry out elections in territories outside its control. the syrian government says this time the vote will be different. over the past decade, yrn syrias can only support or, candidates to run for the post. but not anyone can stand for election. one of the conditions is that they must have lived in syria for past ten years. that means most of assad's opponents even the officially

tolerated ones are secluded from the race. some of them have formed a government in excit in exile. they are not interested in participating in the vote. >> the mistake of the position is they have no executive body like a government that is providing essential service for syrian people. in areas where he actually controls, lost their functioning and that has been actually also his advantage. >> reporter: he may remain in power but the opposition and its allies won't accept the election as length or free and fair. -- as legitimate or free and fair. this won't end the war. zen hoder. are. >> maria innes ferre joins us

america, a look at the push to get immigrants to ask for the health care they need. and a teen aged stow-away. you're back with this story. survives a five and a half hour flight in the wheel well of the plane. jake ward will explain how dangerous this was when we come back.

online @ajamstream. >> undocumented immigrants are eligible for emergency care under medicaid. but many either don't know it or are afraid if they go to the hospital for help they'll get deported. natasha guinane reports. >> he is worried about being deported. since his kidneys failed in january he now worries about dying. the undocumented immigrant had

already watched his mother and aunt die from kidney failure. but when he got sick he was hesitant to seek medical treatment. >> i'm scared that i will die. >> my gel didn't know even as an undocumented immigrant he was eligible for emergency care through medicaid. the real battle to survive began. gonzalez needed dialysis three times a week but since he didn't have insurance no outpatient clinic would treat him. he had to ride a bicycle his only form of transportation for treatments. he sobs at the prospect, saying with drug cartel violence in his

town it would certainly be a death sentence. that's when a team of law students heard about the case and stepped in. the director of the health rights clinic knew that this 2010 policy allows undocumented immigrants like gonzalez to get dialysis treatment for up to 12 months at a time. but the students say they ran into a wall of bureaucracy. >> all of the actors pretty much didn't understand fully what was going on. >> reporter: it took almost three weeks of working around the clock according to the students to finally get gonzalez approved for dialysis at an outpatient clinic. >> we think people may be dying every day as a result of lack of understanding of availability of care. i have every reason to believe that there are probably many states where this is a very big problem. >> we asked a spokes woman for the florida department of children and families which determines medicaid eligibility about these concerns.

she said our medical providers at a local level are aware of this policy. for example, in miami-dade county, department of children and families has workers at every main hospital and healed clinic throughout the county to help patients and hospitals with the application process. gonzalez calls the law students his guardian angels. the health aid clinic is now receiving calls from all around south florida. the agency will end up being someone else's guardian angel. >> natasha guinane. a 16-year-old hid in a wheel well will not be charged with a crime. the fbi says he's lucky to have survived the trip. the 16-year-old hopped a fence at san jose, and hopped on.

there isn't much air at that height. jakjacob ward explains. >> first is lack of oxygen. above 10,000 feet, the faa mandates the pilot has to wear a an oxygen mask. it can very quickly render someone useless at the wheel. past quick,000 feet eventually it will kill you because you simply cannot breathe in enough oxygen in time to replenish what your brain needs. the second factor is cold. at 35,000 feet which is how high these planes fly, you're going to have an ambient temperature of negative 65 degrees fahrenheit. it will put you into hypo

thermia very quickly. how could this teenager have survived? there have not been the first. there are instance he in which people have survived this experience. so many that the faa did a study on this subject. they surmised that ambient heat may come off the wheels, they hang on into that heat and go up into the bay and suddenly you're up there with them and this keeps you alive for a little while. plus once this runs out and you are at that point already unconscious because you're high enough that oxygen has run out and you're knocked out. you will be unconscious and slowly brought into hypothermia. are medicine uses that to help people in cardiac arrest. they will reduce your temperature down to 70° in order

to preserve you for a certain period of time to do trauma surgery on you. it is possible to come back from those low temperatures. it may be that the central nervous system is put into hibernation, and as you descend again you are slowly revived by the resumption of oxygen and you can be treated and recover. the two instance he in 1993 are instances where people were flying from a warm destination to a warm destination. that may help to explain it. the tragedy of this, if you were to survive a lot of the time if you regain -- when you get back down to a survivable temperature and the wheel well opposite up again you are still unconscious you are rattling loose and fall out of the plane. that happens many time. it is a miracle i mean that in the most technical sense that it is a maicialg the this kid could -- a miracle that this kid

could have been up in the wheel well and actually got out of the plane and seems to be surviving and making a recover. that is an amazing, amazing thing. jake ward. for us. mount everest, makes us wonder whether the way of life in nepal is. >> we spend a certain amount on tips now some restaurants say no to tipping altogether. >> a controversial law >> where were you when the babies lives were being saved? >> are women in texas paying the price? >> who's benefiting from restricting access to safe abortions? >> fault lines... al jazeera america's hard hitting... ground breaking... truth seeking... breakthrough investigative documentary series access restricted only on al jazeera america

his most recent post is i and my team members have official gave up everest expedition for this season in respect for our fellow climbers who have lost their souls in the everest ice fall. now there are some expeditions that are right now in limbo. there's one from south africa that have been going on, they go on these acclamation climbs. adrian ballinger is the founder of a climbing company, his company is dedicated to continuing on with their expedition. we shouldn't hide the cost of our choosing to climb with his sherpa team right here. this has all generated a debate going on whether these expeditions should be done at all. wendy says if you can't like without the assistance of a

sherpa, it shouldn't be done. branka says, what has happened to this when sherpa guides are striking. lottie writes, when boyfriend is climbing it soon, heart goes out to the sherpas. >> the friends over at discovery were planning to broadcast a live climb is that correct, and they cancelled it right? >> they cancelled that live climb. >> maria, appreciate it. president obama and the first lady hosted a white house tradition today. we are going to milk this because this is fun. about 30,000 people gathered there on the south lawn. beautiful day at washington, d.c. for the annual easter egg roll. these are real eggs, not plastic. peter wanted plastic eggs. this theme is hop to healthy spring into shape. part of michelle obama's health campaign. the president was there along with dozens of characters from
