will go down in the annals of our country. >> reporter: the president got to see an air parade featuring fighter jets and helicopters. earlier in the day a much larger than usual march. >> reporter: here in sevestopol they're celebrating since the russian armies delivered them from the nazis. >> reporter: the push in eastern ukraine to breakaway as well. >> now i understand what they felt during their victory day, and when peace returns to ukraine we'll celebrate their victory day. >> reporter: the day is poignant for those who served in crimea since world war ii. he's proud that people remember that era, but he's thinking of

recent events here. >> crimea became russian without the use of any force. there have been stories about people with arms. it's all nonsense. >> reporter: for russia victory day is a day to celebrate the defeat of fascism. many believe that the same struggle is underway in ukraine. and the appearance of their president made this patriotic celebration. important. >> violence ranged in the eastern ukrainian towns. there is conflicting reports of how many people killed with those numbers ranged from 2 to 20, regardless there are even more people injured. it happened as the ukrainian military tried to wrestle control from the russian supporters. >> today's celebrations come two days in the cities of donetsk.

reporting on the ground in ukraine and crimea from the beginning of the crisis, we have more on the upcoming referendum, jennifer. >> reporter: that's right. those pro-russian separatists insist they're going to go ahead with the referendum, to make independent publics of at least three eastern ukrainian towns despite the fact that president vladimir putin urged them to postpone the vote. >> this almost the polling station. officials think despite the fast time frame they're prepared. >> we think that everything is ready. we don't have the ballot boxes in place yet. we have meet to go prepare and all the materials are ready 2347 the cities will hold a vote, t

too. russian president vladimir putin on wednesday called on the vote to be delayed, but the separatists are going ahead any way. ukrainian officials are concerned the polls will lay the groundwork for a repeat of what happened in march. in eastern ukraine it may not be all that straightforward. it's not clear who controls the voter's list and if they're up-to-date. >> reporter: the referendum in itself is nothing but political fraught, and it's only being used by propaganda in russia. >> reporter: ukrainian security services said this proves russia directly supports the vote. they say they're not ready for the vote. the man in moscow telling them to make up the results and 89%

win. the organization for security and cooperation in europe is monitoring the situation in ukraine. >> obviously if it goes ahead, we create facts on the ground that we'll have to deal with. personally, i don't think it's a good idea at this moment. >> reporter: the separatests don't control the entire territory, just many government buildings, and it's unclear how widespread the vote can be. >> what will happen about this referendum? who will go out and vote? is it even legal? they're determineing to ahead even though they don't control the whole area, you see them printing millions of ballot basically asking one question, do you want to become an independent republic. >> you mentioned the legality of the referendum, and a lot of people say it would not even be

recognize first degree they tried to declare their independence. >> reporter: that's right, the west is not going to recognize this. kiev is not going to recognize this vote. but that didn't matter in the case of crimea. they didn't recognize that referendum and crimea became a part of russia. we see president putin visiting crimea for the first time. we had vladimir putin calling for the vote to be delayed. we don't know if that was just a tactic to separate himself and prove what is happening in eastern ukraine really is an independent of moscow. of course, that's not what we're hearing. both kiev and washington believe russia firmly has their hands in what is going on in eastern ukraine. >> if no one is going to recognize this referendum as being legal an. is it a sentimental vote. >> reporter: the separatists, me say they'll decide after the vote whether to declare

themselves independent. we don't know whether they'll do that quickly or in a longer term effected maybe just a move to try and show there is support, pro russian support, or a move to get more autonomy in those cities to make sure that ethnic russians in eastern ukraine have more autonomy, presidential elections are to be held may 25th. >> live in new york city. thanks for the insight. >> seven people were killed in two trait attacks. the attacks took place after the yemeni military said it took over an al-qaeda base. we have more from the capitol. >> the gunmen open fired at military check points near the president palace. then the intelligence headquarters. reports say four soldiers and three gunmen were killed. at the same time they say they

intercepted a car packed with explosives. they blocked most of the main roads here in the capitol and deployed many policemen and soldiers to control their situation. they are concerned al-qaeda might take the battle to the heart of the capitol. today the minister of defense was on his way to tour areas that the army recently captured, and the convoy recently came under attack. al-qaeda, even though they have lost significant areas they still have the know-how, the intelligence, and the nerve power to launch spectacular attacks against forces. >> the environmental protection agency took the first steps to required oil and gas drillers. it would required drill tours tell the government what is used

to break up the shale rock. the government has pushed for these rules for quite some time. others oppose the rule saying the chemicals are a trade secr secret. >> reporter: inquiries into the bengahzi attack. yesterday the house approved a resolution creating the special committee to conduct the probe. republicans say that the obama administration has misled the american citizens about that attack. four people including ambassador died. >> we have david shuster in the studio. >> reporter: let's start with the minimum wage. this morning mitt romney, the 21 presidential nominee split with the republican party right wing saying that the minimum wage

should be raised. >> i part company with many conservatives in my party on the issue of minimum wage. i think we ought to raise it. our party is all about more jobs and better pay. communicating that is important to us. >> in that interview romney communicated categorically he is not going to run another presidential campaign. however two other republicans were considering the race i in 2016 former senator rick santorum and former minnesota government tim pawlenty. they said think also support raising the minimum wage. republicans in congress refuse to allow it to come up to a vote. on the democratic side conventional wisdom says they should avoid talking very much about obamacare. and hagin said republican leaders in her only state opted out of the medicare expansion,

and that left 500,000 north carolinaens unable to enroll. >> this is some of the most vulnerable citizens in our society. they will continue to seek care in emergency rooms and leave chronic conditions unmanaged which is detrimental not only to thr health but to the economy, too. and it leads to higher costs for the patients. it drives up oh costs for hospitals and the insured. >> hagin's republican opponent tom tillis has been hammering hagin's support of obamacare for months. by the way, this race is one of dozens that will feature ads by the koch brothers. the koch family intends to escalate their 2014 campaign spending to more than $125 million. to put that in perspective i in 2012 the presidential election the koch pac spent 400. million dollars.

the headphones created by dr. dre. >> and why those who don't live in the big cities are having a hard time landing a job.

>> stocks were down on wall street for much of the day, but they rose after a late afternoon rally. checking the big board the dow gained 32 points at the close of business this week. apple may soon be making a multi billion dollar acquisition. they hope to buy beast electronics started by dr. dre. he seemed to make it clear. >> the first millionaire in hip hope. >> posted to facebook last night, the deal would be worth more ma than $3 billion. we go to mike with yahoo finance. this is a big move by appleby buying something and not building it in-house.

is this a new post-steve jobs directive we're seeing here? >> it certainly is new. apple made very few technology purchases in the past. it shows something about apple's phase of development. they're basically a mature company with are a tremendous amount of cash hanging around >> they already sell beat accessories in their apple stores and they have itones, the top selling music in the world. why is this important to apple's future? >> i wouldn't say this is important to apple's future.

it's about a month's worth of apple's excess cash flow. the think the way apple is looking at this, as an interesting experiment in adjacent business. not so much of a big bet on the furor the brand. it's not a tremendous bet for apple. beat already has a billion dollars in revenue and it does have a stream of music that could be interesting platform for apple in the future. >> we see tech companies buying other companies. is apple late to the game in this regard? >> reporter: apple is late in the sense that other companies are making more acquisitions than apple has been in the past few years, but i don't think it means that apple has missed out

on significant opportunities for apple. the news comes down and all these folks who have strong opinions come out and explain about it. so it shows you the risks that tim cook of apple face that other ceos don't face when they're expected to go out and buy things. mark zuckerberg goes out and spends $19 million on an app that no one knows how it will fit into the business. it did cause a flap but nothing like the uproar. that's why maybe apple has been gun shy. in fairness of the critics apple itself said what they want to do is be leaders in every market segment they're in, and they would like to have a single brand approach and do it organically from their own research rather than buy it. but clearly times change and they have $150 billion in cash

to put somewhere. >> if we look at beat alone. in manhattan or across the country you're likely to see someone wearing beat especially on airports and airplanes, but they're not superior to other brands on the market. is it just about the marketing that they put together that made this company so viable? >> seemingly. seemingly there was this image, the coolness factor among younger consumers who can afford the $300 headphones, i guess. but it does says something about how fast you can build a brand. selling it for $300 that costs $14 to make is quintessential what apple does. it's tremendously high mark up because it's an apple, not because everybody decided it was the best pro you can.

>> for so many years hip-hop was just considered a culture, a way to make music and for people to make musi money off it, but nowt dr. dre and jay-z has done. it's huge. >> yes, range of pop culture, fashion, in addition to entertainment. there is no doubt that is one element of what apple sees here is exposure to another customer base, another fan base and associating itself to these luminaries of the hip-hop world. it might be appealing. >> not bad for a kid from compton, california. thank you. >> reporter: thanks. >> automakers have recalled more than 11 million vehicles since the beginning of this year. that is more than 2 million vehicles by general motors due

to a faulty ignition switch, and get this, it's completely legal because the u.s. does not have a law for repairs for used cars and rental cars. rental car dealers can fix cars if it sees fit. >> it's hugely important that there be somebody who is paying attention to this other than the manufacturers themselves left to their own devices our history said that the consumer is not going to be protected that way. it's just not going to happen. it's urgent that somebody is looking over their soldiers on something like this. >> reporter: the postal service is begging congress to pass a reform bill. it lost $2 billion during the first three months of this year

alone. that was despite efforts to cut costs and even a small rise in its operating revenue. >> netflix is charging more for new subscribers to access its screaming content. starting today people who sign up will pay $9 a month. and it's existing customers will pay $8 a month until may 2016. the company needs more money to pay for more original programming such as "the house of cards." many are beginning to recover from the economic down turn but time is still tough for people in second- and third-tier cities. >> reporter: brian has spent the last year looking for a job and has had absolutely no luck. >> it's been a struggle because i've looked very hard to find a job. i've put in so many applications

and gotten virtually no responses. >> unemployed he now lives with his mother. >> i feel bad for him, you know. i've always raised him to be very independent, and it's hard to do that if you can't support yourself. >> my mom has been wonderful. without her support dare i may be homeless at this point because my mom has been so supportive. she has allowed me to stay here rent free while i try to get on my feet. >> reporter: at almost 30 years old, he wonders and worries about the future. he here's the prediction that the millennials will be the first generation to do worse than their parents economically and highways heard the complaints that millennials act entitled and spoiled. >> for me to look so long and find anything, you start to question yourself as an individual. >> reporter: while parts of the country has restarted to

recover, the sacramento area is not one of them and continues to struggle with an unemployment rate higher than the national average. it floats between 8% and 9% here and for millennials is worse. almost 20% of them have no jobs in the sacramento region, and 40% now live with their parents according to the latest census. the damage can be permanent. >> for example, young people who wanare in the labor market durig the recession have higher unemployment rate. >> reporter: after the last two decades the labor market in sacramento an have trended apart from cities like san francisco, and it has made the difference more dramatic and poignant. >> but the millennials seem to be a mobile bunch and can easily locate to the labor market.

my suggestion, if you're a young person in sacramento look around and consider moving to san francisco. the jobs here are plentiful and your career will benefit in the long run. >> reporter: that's what he decided to do. he applied for jobs in sacramento. that's when he got the call finally for a job interview in customer service proving that there is better luck in the bay area. melissa chan, al jazeera, sacramento, california. >> a big controversy brewing over the labors on your food. the new laws in vermont will require genetically modified food to be labeled.

>> searches happening around the clock in nigeria for more than 200 school girls who were abducted last month. >> this comes amid allegations that nigerian military was warned aboutage attack beforehand, but they failed to act. we have more from the capitol. >> reporter: could this have been avoided. sources have told >> they had to flee for their lives and more villagers fled to the bush. that's a shocking revelation. we've been repeatedly calling on the nigerian authorities to

provide adequate security for people of nigeria, especially the schools because they have been vulnerable targets in the past couple of years. >> reporter: the nigerian government response has led to protests around the country. nigeria's president has dismissed suggestions that the girls have been taken into cameroon but admits he does not know where they are. specialists from the u.s. and u.k. are in nigeria to help with the search. the nigerian government said it will investigate claims the military ignored warnings of an attack. if the claims are substantiated it will likely deepen public outrage. >> nigeria is africa's largest economy, and oil is the reason for its economic growth. however, many nigerians live on $2 a day.

and nigeria's reliance on oil revenues to meet its challenges. >> reporter: nigeria is africa's largest oil producer, but it's pushing the country into an oil crisis. the locals call it bunkering, and it's big business. gangs target pipelines and at least 100,000 barrels of oil a day are stolen from various production sites. that's 5% of the country's total output. the estimated yearly valley is 3 to $8 billion. >> i believe there are many who are involved. you don't operate an operation

this scale without a lot of people. both locally and overseas. >> reporter: the crime wave has forced companies like shell, exxonmobil and cheveron to shut down wells, stalling production and under cutting the target's output of more than two million barrels a day. the current high price of oil has cushioned the blow to nigeria's bottom line. at roughly $110 a barrel oil revenues remain above government projections. but as it continues companies like shell have started selling off oil leases in the nigeria delta. with no end in site the oil crisis will continue to threaten nigeria's national security and it's dream for a brighter future. >> new reports that south sudan's president has signed a deal with a rebel leader agreeing to a cease-fire.

parliament, the prime minister's offices and several television stations. >> i'm here to kick them all out. i want them gone. >> the pro tests have been largely peaceful although there are those who are trying to force their way into a government compound. the court recently forced shinawatra to step down as prime minister after fin finding her guilty over abuse of power. one of her deputies have replaced him but they still see him as a proxy of shinawatra. they've been holding demonstrations for the past six months. home to protesters all over the country. some of the protesters have been camping since early this year.
