6:03 pm
since sunday is, this is a problem because the system is moving so incredibly slow. you can see the area of low pressure here, we are talking about flooding here across the northeast. let's go closer in, i want to show you especially pensacola, they were just getting out of the main part of the rain, let's put this into motion, you can see for pensacola, things are a little bit better, so they will definitely now the rain is over with, but a one day total for them on tuesday, 15.55 inches that breaks an all time one day record, previously it was 1934, when they assault and battery gist a little over 15 inches. pensacola saw just over 20. so what we will be seeing is still flood warnings in effect across the area, even though the rain has stopped the floodwaters are still in place. that will slowly start to reseed. for the next day or so, here across the northeast.
6:04 pm
things have gotten much better we had seen five plus inches of rain, that was enough to cancel over 18 flights yesterday, throws of delays and terms of the major metro areas all the way down towards washington. >> thank you for the update. across the globe, may first, today, is considered may day. there have been rallies in many cities and in seattle, workers there are going to get a raise. he announced a plan to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour, if approved the wage would be the highest of any major city in the united states. allen joins us from seattle, with a may day protest is taking place, and allen, take us through the mayor's new proposal. >> well, david, this is inning but 15 now. which is what the people have been pushing for this wage hike have been saying for months now. this is a phased in
6:05 pm
process. for proposele that the raise -- the wage be raised to $15 an hour, for big companies within three years. that's for companies with 500 or more employees. they have up to seven years to raise that minimum wage up to $15 an hour, and that would depend on what kind of formula they use and how much they built in in terms of tips and benefits. into meeting that $15 wage, within seven years, everybody working at the lowest wage in seattle would be working at $15 an hour, again, this came out of a 24 person committee that was put together by the mayor, that was enough today for the mayor to call it a win. >> the wage workers will get a $15 raise. we will avoided a costly battle of competing initiatives. and we will deal with what the president is called one of the great issues of our time. >> now, it may be that
6:06 pm
seattle voters will have to face some initiatives on is ballot in november, it is very possible that if this doesn't meet with broad approval, there will be initiative petitions and seattle voters could end up having their say on this in six months time in the fall. this is also something that has to be tweaked and approved by the city council, expect to hear from them next monday. >> allen, based on the packages so that far, what has been the reaction of also members of the business community? >> mens of the business community, and members of organized labor whose representatives were on this 24 member panel are giving a broad support, it wasn't a unanimous mouse vote, but there were only three people who didn't support it. so it has wide ranging support within that committee. the maestri accident voice is the socialist city council and he says no, no deal. it is not enough, no
6:07 pm
compromise, we are still going to hit the streets we are still going to march, we will still get signatures for a petition to put something on the ballot when we say 15 now, we mean 15 now, and she is not supporting this. business so far, in terms of the people on that committee is saying this is a compromise we may be able to live with. >> allen reporting from seattle, allen, thank you. >> around the world, there were rallies today to mark international workers day, one of the largest play day events was in cuba, where hundreds of thousands of people marched through havana's revolution plaza. in spain, there was a massive demonstration in march, to protest hardships faced by, ownerrers following government measures. in malaysia, thousands of people gathering to protest a proposed tax that they believe will increase the cost of living. and russia held the first may day parade in rest square since the soviet union collapsed in 1991.
6:08 pm
the state made it's presence known on the ground. it was not going to take any rally, the demonstrators try to defy the ban to hold their rally at the square. they gathers in several neighborhoods. >> we celebrated peacefully in 2010, 2011, and 2012, and there were no incidents. but today we have this meaningless ban, it is our constitutional right, to demonstrate. >> is authorities however, allow trade union representatives to lay a wreath where in 1977, unknown gunman opened fire on a may day rally. more than 30 people were killed. tax'm square has long been a traditional rallying point, but as of
6:09 pm
late, it has taken on a new meaning. last summer, protectors occupy the square for weeks it bake a venue for political dissent to be voiced, there were certainly forced out and the state reinstated it's authority over the square. the square has symbolic value for the government and the demonstrators. but this isn't just about a fight about where to hold the rally, it is part of an on going struggle between those in power, and those who feel the ruling party is abusing power. >> the government denied clamping down on freedom of expression, and provided the unions with this alternate rally site. if there's a rally that lasts all day, that is why there's another site to hold an olderly rally. >> it was shut down on may day, this was supposed to be a day for workers to celebrate and demand their rights instead may day has shown the divisions within
6:10 pm
turkey. >> that the prowestern government there is now anticipating a military confrontation with russia. ukraines acting president has now ordered reservist to report and he is trying to reinstate a military draft. the actions come in the wake of russian president reportedly telling germany's chancellor that the military must leave the south eastern part of the country and end the show down with pro russian activates who have seized several buildings. al jazeera has the latest now from done yes, sirring. >> yet again, ukraine's police were overwhelmed. they were trying to protect the prosecutors office. and for a short period, they kept the prorussian crowd at pay. >> soon retreated under a garage of missiles. this is them cowers under
6:11 pm
their shields. the protestors move in, grabbing shields and helmets from the policeman. the police are led away, one by one. a police armored vehicle approached and then retreats as the crowd threatens to attack it. by now the crowd has taken over the building, they are stormed the prosecutors office, because it says supports the government in kiev, which they don't recognize. so the photographs of government officials go up in smoke, the police are nowhere to be seen, and the protestors are firmly in control of another building. and this is yet one more example of how the authority of the government in kiev is collapsing in eastern ukraine. >> we caught up with two protestors. wearing their newly seized riot police gear. do they have any intention
6:12 pm
of giving it back? >> it depends on the authorities in kiev. if they let us live peacefully we will give it back, if they don't, then we will keep it. earlier in the day, the march had started peacefully, many support is of the united ukraine are now too afraid to take to the streets. we bump into the mayor, elected before the crisis, harangued by all sides. and cautious about what should happen next. >> a referendum should take place the same time of the presidential elections. it needs to be organized be i the commission. we hope that this is the decision that kiev will make. the plow russian protestors want a referendum in early may, they say they won't wait any longer and they feel that nothing can stop them. al jazeera.
6:13 pm
pine minister was now preparing to act on an issue that was the subject of fierce negotiations. he says he will propose legislation to formally enshrine israel's status as a jewish state. it is a provocative move and a sign that the failed talked will come with a diplomatic cost. >> this is the equivalent of amending the u.s. constitution. israeli law is split into two. normal laws and basic laws. these are the legal foundations for the israeli state, because israel doesn't actually have a constitution. and so that's what he is proposing today, a new basic law, fundamental law that would declare steal a injuryish state. that has never existed in the past, even toe the declaration of independence declares it a jewish state. very little changes. this basic law doesn't effect any normal law, so
6:14 pm
no citizens would see the difference on a daily basis to their laws or any kind of rule of law that they have to deal with. so this is largely symbolic, even though it is fundamental. but the critics say it is a slippery slope, and if you pass this, there can be further disenfranchisement, and those are the people that will be objective. to give you a sense, there are more palestinian citizen who is are living in israel, than there are african-americans in the u.s., in terms of the percentage. that's 20%, african-americans are about 14%, of the u.s., they say if you pass this law, it will permanently become second class citizens. and palestinians fear if you pass this law, that will accept the israeli narrative in their words and permanently reduce the chancesreduce the of any kind of right of returns. now, in response to that,
6:15 pm
his allies say look, we aren't going that far at all, all we are doing is declaring one basic law, and we will all respect the laws of all citizens with they are injuryish or not. >> just ahead, the embattled mayor of toronto, has allegedly been caught on video smoking crack, again. so why is the top elected critic dend maaing his resignation? we will ask her, next.
6:16 pm
6:17 pm
happened last weekend inly the basement of his sister's home. with the story and is the incriminating picture from the globe newspaper. the latest -- screen grabs from a video seen at the journalists that shows the mayor smoking something in a pipe. the self-professed drug dealer who shot the video claimed it was crack cocaine.
6:18 pm
>> i encouraging my brother, many people believe they can handle any problem, by themselves. >> that nobody is going to cover me. >> ford is also in trouble for offensive remarks about women, ethnic groups and gay people, made on an audio tape robford has been the center of attention now for a year, ever since he first appeared in a video allegedly smoking crack. he denied it until last november, and then this stunning revelation. >> yes, i have smoked crack cocaine. but no, do i, am i an addict, no.
6:19 pm
long after, long reports of him behaving eradically and making offense i comments. experts say that's classic addictive behavior, and the mayor needs to consider stepping away for a long time. >> hening mas to keep things together for a short period and then stuff happens. i wouldn't be a bit surprised if things don't change, that it will happen again. >> toronto city council stripped the mayor of most of his powers last year, and he has been largely a figure head since then. there's been an active police investigation, but no charges layed yet, it is fair to say he has survived scandals that would have destroyed other politicians. so will the latest evidence end his career? >> if he does want to make a come back, there's enough time for him to make a come back. i doubt however, that his ability to change the damage that has been caused by this most recent and most damaging set of events is something he can recover from.
6:20 pm
especially the insults and is the hurtful comments to my former colleague, counselor karen stints, it is uncalled for. and it is hurtful. obviously -- and again, an embarrassment, for our city. >> if it is hurtful and embarrassment, why have you short stopped of demanding
6:21 pm
his resignation. >> well, his power has been stripped already, and this man is sick. he is -- he has a serious substance abuse problem. having said that, he had his chance last year, and i and many other people said that he needs to take a break. seek help, speak about the truth. take responsibility. it's not just about his standards, yes, he needs to pack up his circus, leave city hall, which he has done now. not permanently, but it will happen october 27th, i hope, but it is also his 308sys, his policies that -- you know, under him, the unemployment rate has gone up, one out of ten of my neighbors cannot find
6:22 pm
a job, it is even worse for young people, 1 out of 5 young people conditioned fine a job which means it will be very hard for them to start a family. >> we are talking about policies -- the policies of your own party the ndp supports the decriminalization of some drugs, do you believe that what robford was doing was therefore a personal matter? >> it is not a personal matter. i -- what he has done is he has embarrassed our city, but do remember that -- >> but we have all done things that have been embarrassing in our past, you told cbc that you had smoked marijuana, when you were early on in your career on the school board, we all have that in our background, don't we. >> yeah, but he is seriously addicted. he has a substance abuse problem. this man is sick. you can't say that of many other people. i hope you are not equating that with people that
6:23 pm
happen to smoke marijuana once or twice -- >> i am not equating that but i am saying that he was allegedly caught in his sister's basement a private home, he wasn't doing this on the street, as far as we know, there was no sort of public nature of that he was doing, and i am wondering if therefore there's a limit to what the city can do about it. >> well, do remember, he admitted to smoking crack, finally he has admitted that he needs professional help. also, so putting -- i also want to be very clear. not only is his scandals is the problem. is his directions. >> we all acknowledge there are a lot of problems but as far as rob ford is concerned and with our next guest in mind, fair to say that it has humiliated everybody who calls toronto home? >> yes, because we are -- unfortunately, rob ford has brought on embarrassment
6:24 pm
internationally. to us. >> doubt about that. but this is a good city. we are very diverse, we are strong, we will recover from rob ford when we have a new mayor when we have a better city. >> olivia, thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. >> thank you. ali velshi, are you going to recover from the rob ford saga. >> it is interesting you got the knew witness of the conversation who is probably now the front runner the race for mayor, but olive yo chow comes from left of center, rob ford came from right of center, and toronto's history is while it generally lives around the political center of the spectrum, it goes beyond the two. right of center mayor, your services get reduced, your taxes are lower and a lot of development, but you know people who live in a city who need some of those benefit more.
6:25 pm
it is kinds of weird, because everyone knew what he was up to, and now these videos come out, and he bows out, but toronto likes it's low, thats and rob ford promised to do that, and that's what he did, so this remain as very politically interesting step. it is not the people of toronto who have fully thrown rob ford out, it's that these videos keep showing up. >> fair point, there's other news today involving a ford, the ford motor company is getting a new boss, and he has big shoes to fill. >> i am sadder about this one. he will step down in july. after eight years at the helm, remember, in 2005, ford had a very very rough time. they layed off 40,000 people in january of that year. bill ford jr. took over the company, it was the first ford in generations to take over the company. they let the ex-ceo go.
6:26 pm
he had collected all these other countries, land rover, and jaguar, and all that, now you bring allen in, he was the number two go over at boeing, heel cos in basically mortgaged the company too to hilt, and takes the bitter medicine early so that by 2008, when everybody else was suffering ford was in healthy shape, now they have been grooming a man named mark fields, mark fields will take over in july, allen was a outsider, he reinvented ford. he had everything -- you are looking at pictures of mark field. he has big slews to fill, he has been in the saddle, but it's the end of an era. ford because in a lot of trouble, and allen is considered by some the finest ceo that america has seen in a long time. >> one of those pictures you interviewed mark fields what is he like? how did he strike you.
6:27 pm
>> one thing he did is he brought a culture of openness into ford. and he got out of that culture of defensiveness, it is easy when you are are a ceo, particularly in the 1990's to be defensive, because everybody is always on your case about everything that is going wrong. and allen became a guy that is proud of ford and it's people, make sure he included people in the decisions and mark is going to be that guy, allen tells me once about when he first started at ford, and came into the parking lot, and the executive parking lot was full of jaguars and volvos there were no fords in the place. and he came around and said is this is a brand about which we are going to be proud, and if you aren't proud of it you fix it until you are proud of it, and people continue to buy it, through it all it has done well. and allen and bill ford say that mark is ready to take the top job, so keep an eye on ford, i think it will continue to be a very promising company. >> 7:00 p.m. eastern, real money with ali velshi, thank you for joining us
6:28 pm
and welcome back. >> thank you for filling in. >> coming up a big fight has erupted in the democrat party, we will take a closer look at the rift over the controversial keystone oil pipeline. senate democrats to the frustration of president obama, are now planning a vote. also as nigeria's government deals with the kidnapping of 200 girls. militants have launched another attack in the capital city.
6:29 pm
6:30 pm
>> results of analyses were skewed in favor of the prosecution >> the fbi can't force the states to look at those cases >> the truth will set you free yeah...don't kid yourself >> the system has failed me a suburb, several peopleed are dead, the bombing was apparently close to is site of a are you cent bombing at a bus station, there has within no claim of responsibility but the group has been blamed for the april attack that killed 75 people, joining us live from the capital, with the latest, what can you tell us?
6:31 pm
>> . >> he didn't want to give his flame, and he says that at least nine people have been killed in this blast. gist off the edger of the capitol. and that more than 21 people have been ferried to hospital with serious injury, also spoken to local redses in the area that we have made contact with over the telephone, who say that the blast looks like eight emananted from a vehicle or a car so it could have been a scar bomb. at a bus station, just in the very same area. we also know that the area has been quartered off by the authorities. all roads have been closed. it is impossible to get there, the stop and search going on of vehicles that are trying to get there. and there's a very very
6:32 pm
high state of alert. people are very worried about the situation p twoing there. >> how significant is this attack in context with the one a few weeks ago? >> this is huge, because since that adabbing, they have been adamant that they are winning the war, that they are able to handle the insecurity, we have had parliament, and ministers come on to al jazeera, to say that the military is doing all they can, at least $7 billion is being spent on security, so this incident tonight, simply does contradict and fly in the face of what much of the authorities are saying and they are going to be ex-treatmently worried about this, because next week they are due to host the world economic forum, and there have been called to call off the meeting
6:33 pm
because of the blast from last time, so the question now is whether the world economic forum will go ahead next week as planned or whether because of this that has happened tonight it might be shelved. >> what is the latest in terms of the school girls who are abduct add few weeks ago? >> there have been protests, hundreds of people have taken to the street to demand answers from the authorities, but none are forthcoming. we know that at least 190 girls seem to still be missing. nobody seems to know what is going on in terms of any kind of rescue effort. however the authorities say there are operations upway, many of whom were take into the forrest by fighters. this reports from civil rights and civil society organizations and families that some of the girls have been forced into marry some have been faken arecord the
6:34 pm
border into countries lick cameroon and chad, so it is a very unclear situation, and the public is ex-freely angry about it. no resolution as of yet as to what is going on with the girls and when they may be returned. >> thank you for the report. earlier we spoke with princeton lineman the former u.s. ambassador to nigeria, he believes that a small group within bocaharon may have been responsible. >> it is not taken responsibility for it so far, but it's probably some group within bocaharom, and it is a much larger scale attack on girls than we have seen before from them. i think it is a very upsetting step on their part, and it shows a certain brazenness. as well as a terrific challenge to nigerian society. what it highlights is that the government has not been
6:35 pm
able to really get a handle on this insurgency from this group. it has grown in power, and in sophistication. and in geographic reach. and in many ways it exposes problems of the government. not only the ability to get at this group, although they made many attacks on them, but also perhaps the visions within the government over how to deal with it. the army has been accused of many many human rights violations in their attacks on boca or what their perceive to be supporters. others in the government are advocating a more hearts and minds approach. but it doesn't seem to have developed into a single overall policy that has gained the confidence of the people who are effected. in the united kingdom,
