movement. in the balkans, dozens killed by floods. now there's a new danger - shifting land mines. >> and in the u.s.... . >> you know the sting of losing, not getting something you want. when that happens, show what you maid of jill abramson speaks to graduates at wake forest about resilience. for the first time in american history the u.s. government files charges against specific officials accusing them of espionage. this threat and security threat is the new normal. the federal grand jury charged five chinese officials,

targetting industries ranging from nuclear power, metals to solar products. >> the u.s. government indicted five chinese officers for economic espionage, cyber hacking, saying they used keyboard in shanghai to steal secrets from american businesses much here is what attorney general eric holder said. >> a federal jury found five military officers conspired together and with others to hack into the computers of organizations in western pennsylvania and elsewhere in the united states. this is economic espionage by members of the military. the range of trade secrets and other sensitive information stolen is significant, and demands an aggressive response. >> six companies that had their information hacked are westing loss, alcoa, algeni technology, u.s. steel, u.s. steel workers

union and solar world. the information was stolen for one reason only - to benefit chinese companies - some onned by the government. they traced the hacking to one unit of the people's liberation army, to one office in one building in one city of shanghai. now, the chinese government is denying the allegations. saying that it is the victim of cyber spying by the u.s., calling it fabricated, ungrounded and ab surd and calls on the u.s. to revoke the indictments. it's unlikely the officers will be brought to the u.s. attorney general eric holder said that he hopes this sends a strong mess edge, a wak up call that the crimes will be taken seriously. lisa stark reporting in washington. today the fbi announced the arrests of more than 100 people around the world on a crackdown

other states where judges struck down the bans. they will begin to exercise the right. two of the defendants in this case, or the plaintiffs in this case, rather, will get married immediately. we expect it to happen this afternoon. the state of oregon, named in the suit, the governor, the attorney-general , the state assessor or the county assessor and the state re-examination strar declined to step up and defend the ban. the attorney-general saying she wouldn't go into court and defend the ban the voters put on place. the judge's ruling not much of a surprise. the national organization for marriage calls this an ugly example of cooperation between the attorney-general and the gay marriage lobby. that group asked the ninth circuit of appeal to stay the decision so someone could get in and act as defense in the

lawsuit. in a matter of 45 minutes before judge mcshan's ruling they said "no," they are not going to stay that. the same organization has to be involved. they have no legal standing. so struck down as unconstitutional. >> there's a state where it's been put in place, but with no one to defend the law that's not the case in oregon. >> reporter: i would think not. the one organization asked to be involved. that request was turned down. there was a request of the 9th circuit court of appeals, the national association of marriage, and that was denied. they have no legal standing to be involved. >> allen schauffler covering the story. russian president vladimir putin says he has ordered troops deployed near the ukranian

border to return to their home bases. the united states and n.a.t.o. says they have seen no major withdrawals. vladimir putin called for the redeployment. we have more from moscow. >> reporter: for months they've been a threatening appearance on the ukraine border. 40,000 troops officially an exercise, though battle trained and ready. on monday vladimir putin ordered soldiers back to the bases. >> this is a postponement of a big war, which is rather very good. it's not yet - it's not strategic, it's tactical. a tactical decision that gives everyone breathing space, two months to speak a political solution that will be permanent. >> n.a.t.o. is skeptical. it has heard this before from russia in recent weeks. >> so far we have not seen any

withdrawal. at all. i strongly regret that because a withdrawal of russian troops would be a first important correction to de-escalating the crisis. ukraine's border has noticed a reduction in activity. if soldiers move back to barracks, why was the order given? >> russia's army operates on a conscript base system. last year's soldiers are about to be demobed and replaced by an inexperienced draft. vladimir putin may be feeling optimistic about a federalized future for ukraine. also, he might be looking at the cost and thinking that the

sanctions that russia is incurring are not worth it. >> ukraine has brought east-west relations to their lowest point for decades. russia is trying to work out who its friends are. >> these relations require a substantial rethink. together with our partners from the e.u., we are trying to conduct an analysis to better understand where we are, where our assessments coincide and where we disagree, and what to do to bring the relations back. >> there may be the whiff of deescalation in the air, but this crisis is far from over. the instability in libya appears to be growing as the central government's effort appear to erode further. the top command are of the special forces say the troops joined forces with khalifa haftar. he said he wants to get rid of militants in the north african country. gunmen allied with khalifa

11 charges, including his role in a hostage taking in 1998 when 16 westerners were abducted and four killed. he was convicted in relation to setting up a terrorist training camp in bligh. the u.s. attorney came out saying how happy he was with the results. it took eight years to convince the u.k. to extra diet him to the united states. the case is a good example of the united states and u.k. are cooperating. it took a long time to get the conviction. what does that say about the efforts? >> well, it does show that there are some differences between the united states and the u.k. but they worked out together, and worked out a deal it bring

abbual hanza. >> here. he spent years behind bars for inciting violence for the speeches at a london mosque. the difference is how prisoners are healed in the united states. they had to agree that ab you will hamsa would not be sent to a supermax prison because he would be held in solitary confinement. the united states had to agree not to do that. they got what they wanted, a conviction on all counts. it's likely he'll spend the rest of his life behind bars. >> thank you for that report. >> south korea's president is making changes after last month's ferry disaster that killed more that 300, announcing that the coast guard will be broken up and replaced with a new safety agency. the coast guard was criticised for failing to save hundreds of

passengers. park geun-hye cried as she apologised to the nation had her first televised address, and promised it reform the system. more than 300 are dead or missing. most were students on a school trip. we are seeing harrowing images from the balkans as they deal with the worst flooding it has seen in a century. three dozen died in the past five days. bosnia's foreign minister says more than it 100,000 buildings have been destroyed and 4 million people affected by the floods. we had a birds eye view of flooding. >> the sky is above. you could see the damage that has been done by this flood. more than 20,000 people in the region have to be evacuated. the power station, which you can see there is not operating at full capacity.

it's a priority, because it provide electricity for more than half of the whole of serbia. now, the waters came in so quickly it took many by surprise. there was barely any warping and some people unfortunately didn't make it out. many were rescued in the last 24 hours. this is a huge logistical issue for the serbians. they have asked for technical sps and human -- assistance and humanitarian aid. 71 country provided assistance. the big problem is will the fighting sava river have a surge from bosnia and croatia. they are trying to put defenses and barricades up in towns along the river to prevent what happened here. back in the united states, in today's power politics, republicans ramp up accusations that democrats in the obama

administration are dishonest. they are hitting back. diplomatic senator dianne fienstein slammed the republican led house select committee investigating the benghazi attacks. >> it's ridiculous. i think it's a hunting mission for a lynch mob, actually. i think that is what is going on. there have been four major reports. >> dianne fienstein said questions related to the attack and the administration's handling have been answered. house democrats have not decided if they are going to participate in the republican-led committee. another democrat asked house democratic leader nancy pelosi to chose him to serve on the panel. in the 2016 presidential lace a top governor is -- race a top governor is expressions worries about hillary clinton. the governor of massachusetts noted the air of inevitability

hurt hillary clinton in 2008. >> i guess i worry a little bit. she's an enormously capable cannedate and leader. i worry about the inevitability. it's off-putting to the average voter. i think that was an element of her campaign the last time. patrick said he hopes clinton's team pays more attention this time around, and said that he would not be a candidate in 2016, whether clinton runs or not. >> in the 2014 midterm elections, a billionaire climate activist contributed $5 million to a superpact. thomas used some of his fortune to make climate change a poeten issue in florida, iowa, and virgin , on top of $5 million given to democrats political action, he pledged to raise

$100 million to persuade lawmakers to block the keystone oil pipeline. the administration said had will not make a decision until after midterms. >> a tea party organization called operation american spring got off to a slow start. the group went into the massive protests in the arab springs and said it would replicate with 10 million in washington, demanding the impeachment of president obama. the american spring rally happened on friday, attracting about 20 people. those in attendance could barely contain their frustration at the turn out. a man noted he took off the day from work to participate. group leaders would not say if they planned another demonstration. that is the power poll techs. ahead on al jazeera america - a merger between two

telecoms, we'll break down the deal between at&t and direct tv. the first female director of the "new york times" opens up a little about her firing.

former "new york times" executive editor jill abramson spoke publicly today for the first time since fired last week in a commencement speech, and used a little humour when talking about her current status. >> what is next for me? i don't know. so i'm in exactly the same boat as many of you. [ laughs ] >> jill abramson spoke to about 1900 graduates at wake forest university in carolina. she was the first woman to hold the highest position at "new york times". she appeared relaxed and in good spirits. and said she would not remove a "new york times" t on her back. she was sacked because of her

management style not because of unequal pay. wall street stocks have been dipping in and out of negative territory. you can see the board. another big merger deal is in the works for the telecommunications industry. at&t is lacking to buy direct tv for $48 million, after comcast said this would buy time warner cable. we have more. >> do you know what at&t stands for. >> american telephone and telegraph. >> makes me laugh. no one send a telegraph. and there's more at stake. it's a huge deal. bring is in the air at wall street. people are doing takeover bids. that's good news. that's the way they feel on wall street. why is at&t going after direct tv. here is an explanation. >> reporter: at first blush you

think they are unlikely. the older company. look again. both agree a marriage to create the second biggest cable and internet. at&t needs content and cash. direct tv makes piles of money. direct tv is looking for high-speed technology to get content to mobile and guess who is good at that? correct. at&t. both businesses have pretty much reached the saturation point when it comes to attracting new customers. the possibility for growth is greater. there's no doubt the move was sparked by comcast to take over time warner cable, which if approved provides the bigger enabler in the consent. >> sprint is talking about getting together and team mobile

and verizon and vodafone. cable and telecoms are changing and no one can say for certain where it will end up or whether the consumer will be better off. will at&t make it past the regulators. a lot depends on what happens with comcast and time warner. if that clears the hurdles, it's like leg at&t and direct tv will get the ability to merge, creating a rival for comcast and time warner. others dish network could be anadversary. wall street things that would be a bumpy road ahead. shares in at&t and direct tv dipped on monday. in direct tv's case below the $95 per share that at&t is willing to pay to get its hand on the programs. >> wall street up but down for

the two companies. it's in the hands of the regulators, and most people i speak to don't think the regulators know what is going on. this is a fast changing industry. the future is multiplatform services but are minded to allow comcast and time warner to go ahead. if they do that. they need to let this go ahead. >> let's bring in jeff roberts. a media giant for a media company. jeff, no one knows what the future will look like five, 10 years from now. is it about at&t having a better customer base, subscribers when the changes come. >> i think that's a good way to put it. everyone wants to get bigger and consolidate. especially time warner, forming a band. the rest don't want to be left out. there's a scramble to get as big as possible and cover as much ground as possible. >> what about the u-verse

television service. are they thinking about giving up on that platform. >> direct tv is the better brand. they'll hold on to that. there's concerns, will they take another player off the market. the companies made noises that it will not happen. we'll see consolidation in some form or other. in the long term what people say is they'll look for an over the top fight to deliver through the internet in five years. that's what the game will be about. >> any programming entertainment that you find on direct tv, you should be able to get it through a happened held device on the internet in five years. >> that's my prediction. direct tv is popular. the sunday ticket n.f.l. package is being brought in over playstation, internet connections. that is where it's heading over the broadband pipes sooner or later. now everyone is trying to beef up and bulk up and get as many subscribers as they can. >> in the internet, if someone

wants to watch a cable news channel, to get it streaming over the hand-held device, you have to proof you are a cable customer, sound like people being willing to pay for cable will change, and people want to see this on the device. >> the idea of pay conversation is outdated, be it on cable or satellite. we have the phenomena of cord cutters. if we are look to the future, that is where it's coming in. >> does it signal good news for comcast, time warner as they look to merge and look to the future. >> comcast laid the ground work on the lobbying and political front. if they get that through, it will help the at&t. and the fact that at&t and direct tv are doing it gives an argument saying "everyone is

doing it, we have to get bigger", for the consumers it will be another story. >> jeff, thank you for coming on al jazeera. still ahead on al jazeera america - new threat of violence from the taliban in pakistan - why unemployment is helping fuel that threat. plus, the biggest round of election primaries in 2014 happen tomorrow. we show you what to look for next.

in the midterm congressional primary elections tomorrow is super tuesday. the battles in both parties in six states will help to shape the fall campaigns. there are tea party taking on established republicans, women

candidates and intriguing messages. libby casey joins us. mitch mcconnell faces a candidate that got in trouble over cock fighting. >> it looked like mitch mccoppel could be threatened by matt bevan from lewisville. the libertarian and tea party candidate rand paul was sent there. it seems voters were ready for change. mcconnell is the epitome of the establishment and a blue grass poll showed republican fighters don't thing he did enough to fight obamacare and cut spending. mcconnell is in the lead. matt bevan made some missteps,

went to a procock tight rally. voters don't know if he has enough experience or chops. mitch mcconnell campaigned on his five terms and stole a lot of the wind out of bevan's sails. mitch mcconnell, $10 million sent in the primary. whoever comes out. we expect mcconnell to sail through it, will go against alison grimes, a democratic nominee. the question will be will the tea party folks get on board, go with the republican chose and back mitch mcconnell. >> there's a tea party firing squad in another race. >> it is brutal. it's a crowded field.

we probably won't know who the nominee for the republican side of the house. someone needs 50% or it's a 2-person run-off in july. three candidates rose to the top as competitors. jack kingston with the support of the chamber of commerce and main string groups. david, a c.e.o. of rebook and dollar general, and a bevy of folks, karen handle former secretary of state. with the support of sarah palin, rick santorum and the tea party express. one of the other candidates accused karen handle of promoting teejage homosexuality when a group sought funding. she called the businessman not conservative, not really a real republican. so we'll see how the negative

campaigning works out in that crowded field. >> thank you for that update. >> joining us for more is al jazeera contributor michael sure. the tea party verses the establishment a crucial theme. what are you looking for tomorrow in this primary day we call super-tuesday. >> it is super-tuesday. we are grasping at straws. america is not on fire. one of the things to look for in kentucky is how much does mitch mcconnell win by. i think it's certain he'll win and beat matt bevan, we are talking about cock fighting in an american election - unbelievable in 2014. if you see vul ner abilityies, if the -- vulnerabilities, and if they show up in bigger numbers for bevan it doesn't bode well for mcconnell.

looking at georgia, one of the things to look for is david prid u is an established businessman, pouring a tonne of money into the race. to see who comes up with him, it will work out for michelle nunn. david prid u will get into a heated campaign for the next nine weeks with whoever it is up against him. >> in order for the republicans to take control of the u.s. senate and make president obama a lame duck for the final two years, starting in january, they need a net gain of six senate seats. looking at the polling, some thought they could get pick-ups. louisiana, arkansas, georgia. the democrat seems to hang in neck and neck, in some cases ahead. what is going on. >> arkansas has a governor. mike beeby - he has 84% approval and he's a democrat.

it goes against the wisdom of arkansas. tom cotton running against mark prior is - he has been lacklustre, has not got a tremendous amount of momentum, other are than the fact that he's the anti-mark prior. and he was able to dance around a few issues that are important to conservative voters, the keystone pipeline and obamacare. he played his card well. going to what you said georgia is an interesting case. the republicans assume that georgia was something they wouldn't have to defend. michel michelle nunn comes up. all of a sudden that's a recess. there'll be a tonne of money poured into that race, the nation party, a place they didn't think they'd have to spend money. mcconnell is somewhat vulnerable. he advertises vulnerable and pulls it out, in the same way as

harry reid in 2012. you have to look at what you need to look at and the democrats get too cocky - i don't believe i said that. >> well said. >> they have to look at the dakotas where there's a chaps one of them could go the other way. and. >> according to dislormg -- disclosure groups, there's black money that may seep into the election. as much mummie as we saw in 2012, a presidential election year - what is going on? >> i think that's just it. nobody - it's upcontroled right now that that is what is going

on. >> is seems to be a pattern. >> thank you, michael sure. >> in iraq, election officials say a shi'ite coalition led by nouri al-maliki emerged as the winner in the parliamentary elections. results boost nouri al-maliki's shans -- chances of a third term. he needs to approach others for a brode are parliament. the efforts come in a moment with the country sinking into brutal violence with 8,000 lives claimed. >> reporter: the coalition led by nouri al-maliki saw the level results in this election so far. secondly, it's a block led by a cleric. the sunni parties have shown strong results in anbar. the kurdistan results will not be announced until thursday. this means that no one party has

a majority to form a government. if there was one party with a two thirds majority they could form a government. it has not happened. next is deal making, horse trading, coalitions built and deals done through back channels to get something akip to a majority block. it's half the votes plus one. in the current system, 328 seats, you need 165. that takes place in the coming weeks month. most say that iraq will be without a government for three months. the more pessimistic of observers wonder if iraq will be without a government until december. in columbia police detained the driver of a bus that caught fire, killing 31 children and one adult. the bus had broken down while return from a church event. the

fire began when the driver poured fuel into the gas tank. according to witnesses the driver ran and left the children on board. 18 people escaped and are being treated at nearby hospitals. >> and in south sudan, the world health organization says at least nine people died in the capital from a cholera outbreak. 138 other people have become sick in and around juba. five months of fighting displaced thousands. both agreed to a ceasefire. the united nations says if the violence continues, half of south sudan will be displaced, starving or dead by the end of the year. in pakistan local business owners are worried more are joining the taliban because industrial job opportunities are crime bling the the pakistani government could reduce their reach by using economist instead

of bullets. andrew simmonds with the story. >> reporter: it's described as pakistan's switzerland, the beauty of swat valley. the spin off of tourism was destroyed by the 2-year rule of the taliban. by the time the arm oil drove out the tall -- army drove the taliban out another industry failed. the silk trade. there has been talks of reviving it. it is one of a few factories left. most workers operated three looms. they are laid off. those left operate 12 machines. the owner has been holding on to stock because he can't sell. >> translation: i'm carry on for the stake. labourers. i have shut one factory. i may have to close this.

>> in better times, cheap raw materials from pakistan gave cheap materials. cross-border supplies stopped. with high overheads and the cost of materials, this is what is in store. what was a thriving industry providing 70,000 jobs handed down through generations now reduced to scrap. this, one of 500 factories closed down and about to be sold. with no jobs available in swat valley, there are warnings those in poverty could be attracted to the taliban for money, not beliefs. a union worker say it may be unthinkable, but some feel there's no alternative. >> thousands of people worked in the silk industry. it's so bad some of the unemployed joined the tapp ban, re -- taliban, resorting to wear suicide vests to bring in money

to feed the families. >> translation: what other option do i have. i can commit suicide on my open or take a gun in my hand and join the taliban for the money. >> reporter: business owners say economic gloom is an enemy pakistan's government is underestimating. back in the united states a court in georgia says it is constitutional to keep the source of execution drugs a secret. we have that story and more from around america. >> yes, georgia can keep the source of its lethal injection drugs a secret. a state's supreme court ruled the confidentiality of the drugs is constitutional, reversing a lower court ruling. it had granted a stay of execution for warren lee hill. a number of death row inmates are suing to learn the source of

lethal execution drugs since the botched execution of an oklahoma man. in mississippi, a man was sent to 25 years behind bars to mailing liesin laced letters. he was arrested last year and pleaded guilty in jan for sending letters laced with ricin to the president, a u.s. senator and a judge. one in three m.e.r.s. patients was released from hospital. the man from saudi arabia recovered and is testing negative to the virus, an indiana man and one from illinois are the other two cases a new york activist that assaulted a police officer will spend three months in gaol. cecily mcmillan faced seven years in prison. she was charged with elbowing an officer in the occupy wall

temperatures. this was last week. wednesday, thursday, and dropped a bit. with that heat building up, here is what the water temperature did. 63, 64 and up to 68 over the weekend. that is really the big problem, because that warmer water, combined with the fish, going into marina del rey, the oxygen sucked up. warmer temperatures cannot hold as much oxygen. warmer temperatures last week, the warmer water can't old the oxygen. and that algae bloom sucked up the oxygen. it's not uncommon, but happiness in the harbour. it was the warmer textures and warmer water, less oxygen. >> thank you. a little slice of paradise on the california coast is at the center of a court battle. a billionaire capitalist paid
