here is more on what is ahead. >> to wake up and say "what the heck?" >> no one saw this coming. >> this is a big deal. >> this is a miracle of god. >> the most significanting. >> eric cantor loft his seat. >> obviously we came up sport. it. >> all politics are local. >> while i intend to serve out my term i'll step down as majority leader. >> the situation is deteriorating in iraq. control. flee. >> they make al qaeda look like a minor league organization. >> taxi drivers are protesting a mobile apple. >> this is about tradition and technology. apt. we begin with the upset stunning washington and gave tea

party supporters a big victory this primary season. former republican rising star canelo said wednesday that -- eric cantor said wednesday he'd resign as u.s. majority leader following a loss to previously little known economics prove senior professor david brat. he addressed supporters after a meeting with republican colleagues on capitol hill. >> i may have suffered a personal setback last night, i couldn't be more optimistic about the future of the country. i'm honoured that i had the privilege to serve and represent the people of the 7th district. >> eric cantor rejected suggestions that spent too much time away from his richmond consite unt. that's one explanation put forward, put forward by pun coming. >> the list is long. what is clear is that the g.o.p. is shaken, and the road to the

november elections got a lot rockier. >> joining us is republican metre strategist rick wilson, who worked on mayor giuliani's campaign. we are joined by al jazeera america is political contributor. good to have you on the show. 24 hours sense the earthquake in the republican party happened. so much speculation on why eric cantor lost to someone that never worked in government, virtually with no campaign funds. what happened. >> david brat had hustle. he knocked on doors in the district, and went to the town meetings and the precinct meetings and did the fundamental things in campaigns that you have to do whether you have a title in front of your name or whether you are just a guy who is a regular representative. you have to run a campaign and do a functioning campaign at the grassroots. you hear what people say, what

they are talking about. you'll have voter contact, which is a priceless asset. in a turn out scenario where they were estimating between 45 and 60,000 voters, little more than 65,000. that turn out lends itself to a guy like david brat who wears through shoe leather, does the phone calls, does the grass root stuff. addressed voters. they were discontent. >> you agree with rick, was this political malpractice on eric cantor's part. he had tonnes more money. did he make mistakes ignoring his constituents and spending money on criticising negative campaigning against a candidate that was not well-known. >> i don't think that that would be countered what rick was saying. he would be talking about the attributes. one thing that is not talked about is this is an open

primary, and there was motivation on the democratic side. there were a lot more democrats coming out and voting for david brat against eric cantor than otherwise what would have happened. it's a big difference. you know, i don't say that that put him or the top. and it doesn't address your question, but constituent services is something people come back to after a loss. he is the majority leader. his job is different, his seniority requires attention in different ways than an average congressman does. while doing the things, most candidates - again, with respect to what rick said, most do go out and do that and have a steep hill to climb. this was an anomalous situation. >> let's talk about republicans and how they were jilted by this. congressman of nebraska said

this to c.n.n. about eric cantor's loss and what it means for republicans going forward. >> not only was he establishment, but he was part of some of the compromises that kept the government open. that was used against him. the message to us is negotiation beat. >> rick, peter king of new york echoed that saying the loss may mean more congressional gridlock. >> congressional gridlock is a given because of harry reid. who will not deal with the house. and president obama, who understands he will not get through his wishlist. republicans will not be so shaken or thrown off. in three weeks no one will talk about this. on election day no one will remember this. this is the issue that is appealing to nerds like us, guys that are living in the political

world, but average americans, if you asked the average voter what is eric cantor's title. they would say congressman or mr. they do not know these things. people don't pay attention to the capitol hill squabbling in the way that the political class likes to think they do. >> except when it gets to ugly. >> there's a threshold. we have seen the death of compromise given what has been going on. cantor was a tea party darling for a long time. he's a conservative. what does this mean. does it embolden the tea party. >> it would have to if the tea party takes credit. i don't know how they can. if you listen to what lee terry said from nebraska, this is about two factions within one party. it is fracturing that caucus, if you listen to him, comparing him to what king is saying.

you know, you can say that people don't know who eric cantor does. i imagine most americans don't know who eric cantor is, in the world of politics, it was earth shattering, but more so because the republicans have to figure out what to do. the speakership of john boehner, what they do going to the midterms. if it causes stagnation on legislation, it's a huge problem, especially when it comes to immigration in 2016. on the other hand, the tea party supported barak, and so did republican conservative pundits. is this a fuss about nothing that we are trying to attribute this to him being a bad politician in his district, to immigration, to the tea party. the turn out was so small, they lost because 5% of constituents showed up. >> this is the kind of thing where we love to try to derive

all the other implications for something that is fundamental. eric cantor got distracted by the trappings of power and washington d c, and the inner circle of political power, and spent more time out of his district than in it. if you don't do the fundamentals, people know it. it's the dog food test. dogs won't eat bad dog food. no amount of advertising will dogs. you have to go to the district, work, knock doors, go to town meetings, and sometimes have your arese handed to you and have angry people hand it to you. not go to the hill and be told otherwise. that's the core of the problem. >> the "new york times" described democratics as being ecstatic. david axel rod, the president's old advisor is saying not so fast, this may not be a good thing for the obama administration. >> i mean like with anything,

you say oh, it's great new, but someone will say it's bad news. i think eric cantor was a thorn in the side of a lot of democrats, a lot who thought he stood in defense of wall street. a lot of left wing in the democratic party did not like eric cantor. the real reason that developments want to rejoice is they see trouble on the other side, you know, a disjointed party, and that, to them - listen, if you follow sports and see another team with an injury, you see you have a better chance of beating them. democrats should be happy that eric cantor is not there. not that trammel will beat brat. we didn't think brat would win. it's not a fait aecom reply that zach bratina will win against the democrat in december. the point is democrat in december. the point is is that democrats should be happy, it makes the republicans stop and re-assess.

that's good. >> thank you both for being on the show, as auxes while eric cantor's defeat may have left liberals cheering and thrown the g.o.p. into momentary disarray. it could spell disaster for immigration. a main attacks was over eric cantor's willingness to find a compromise on immigration. whether it was or not the reason for the second most powerful republican in the house losing his primary, conventional wisdom is already that cantor's loss will spell the end of hope for immigration reforms before the midterms or until there's another president in the white house. joining us from los angeles is strategist leslie, she is the author of "you've come a long way" maybe, amoping other things. sara, michelle, hillary and the shaping of the new american woman. after eric cantor's loss, the

word is that conservatives need to stay away from immigration reform. is that an over-reaction. two-thirds of ross caputi's reform. >> you are right. polls show that anybody who is in strong opposition to immigration reform, it's a non-starter. it's a losing issue for republicans to be artently opposed to reforming a broken immigration system. no one will sit in good faith and think it's okay not to enforce the borders. that it's not okay to have a system of legalization of understanding. why are they here, what is the intent. are they paying taxes and have an organised system that should be the immigration process. no one things this is okay. we have to be very careful how to read the tea leaves of what this local riched primary said in terms of enforcing immigration reform. >> the reality is eric cantor

was hardly a strong component. he never brought the senate immigration bill to the floor of the house. he helped to block a vote. giving dreamers green cards if they served in the military. what was supposed to be his victory party, calling for reform. they were there thinking he would win. >> we did see scov talk show hosts and pundits for his willingness to entertain come promise. when they put off dealing with immigration. despite what you said. is this a big issues for republicans. >> there's a calls marr still. anyone that touches reform is going to pay a stiff price, i'm arguing that it's a stiff political price. the reason eric cantor had

challenges is because he took both sides of the issues, sometimes he was proreforms, against amnesty. you have to be consistent. voters are smarter than that. you were right, you didn't have conservatives advocate that both positions were tape, because this were. that both really for a day like today when everyone can say it's because of this position. >> what about conservative pundits. laura inkle was a supporter of brats and coulter. the republican party is against the proposals out there on immigration reforms. an issue is that the border has not been secured and until there's security at the border, there's no way we should have immigration, and hasn't that position been really helped by what has happened over the past week with the influx of unaccompanied kids from central

america and crossing the border into the united states. >> consistently by - i think there's a lot of loud voices taking all the oxygen in the room. if we do not address the issue and allow the president to unilaterally make decisions or ignore the crisis that he was aware about, that federal authorities were telling the administration that they were having floods of children and the president chose to look the other way. this is what happens when you don't take action on an issue, it's encouraging to see that republicans have to stand strong, take fullsh leadership and talk about what you're saying. enforcement on the border. how to process individuals coming here illegally. they are serious concerns that have to be addressed sooner rather than later. >> lindsay graham won his primary with 60% of the vote against six challengers.

he was one of a gang of eight championing the immigration bill that eric cantor didn't bring to the floor. and chuck schumer a democrat from new york tweeted about eric cantor and graham saying: you think he's rite. >> i do. you agree with chuck schumer for once in your life. >> wow, that'll go around the web. that's true. you have to be - take strong, bold positions on immigration reform. it cannot flip flop. you saw it with senator john mccain. with kennedy, he was a proponent. when he started in the primary in 2008 it was a lot more difficult to take him seriously on the issue of reform. the truth is the most important part is we are not going to see immigration reform as long as the democrats are in leadership.

this is too good a political issue to raise money on, watch the republican infighting. it puts them at a cross-hair between labour and latinos who want to see reform. they are in potential to each other. there's a lot of political prices and i don't believe the democrats are ready to step up. >> it's a fascinating week in politics. thanks. >> now for some more stories from around the world. we begin in brazil where a strike is threatening the opening day of the world cup, but not the strike everyone feared. sao paulo's transportation unit decided to stay on the job despite violent confrontations with police. airport workers in rio de janeiro have announced a 24 hour strike at both of the city's airports beginning at airport. ticket counter workers, baggage

handlers and custodial staff are demanding an increase. next to temaze and -- texas and arizona, with an update to the humanitarian crisis, as thousands of illegal immigrants, many unaccompanied children film up border control facilities. it was compared to hurricane katrina, the influx. children are packed into a border control warehouse, raising health concerns. coast guard and fema doctors arrived there. we end in california where america's first zero emission hydrogen powered car rolled off the lot. the vehicle is only available for lease for $249, but comes with unlimited refills and free maintenance. there are only nine hydrogen stations all in southern california, it will take time

before we see more hydrogen powered cars on the road. that's some of what is happening around the world. straight ahead - chaos in iraq. insurgents seize more territory, a di after taking over the second-largest city. what should the u.s. do. an alarming study says one in eight kids will experience abuse or neglect. what do you think. r

fears of a full-scale civil war are growing in iraq where islamic insurgents expanded their relentless offensive and the amount of country they control. wednesday they took over saddam hussein's home town of tikrit and closed in on where the largest oil refinery is located. as they advance to baghdad, iraq's capital, it was rocked by explosions. they are part of the islamic state of iraq and levant, and they now have undone many of the hard-fought gains of u.s. troops during the war in iraq. when the troops withdrew in 2011 a big concern was whether iraqi forces were prepared to defend them. the answer for now is know.

the forces collapsed. raising questions about whether they can stop i.s.i.l. joining us is our correspondent in baghdad, omar: the situation is deteriorating. we have talks of beheading. i.s.i.l. taking over the stit, tikrit. rebels took fall usualinga to the east. baghdad. >> absolutely. the latest reports is members of the islamic state of iraq and levant, and other fighting groups, have controlled two areas in a province. the areas are less than an hour away. yes, the next target could be baghdad. when you hear the government state television saying that they have

dispatched special forces to the province, it shows you how the government is taking these events very seriously. >> what about concerns that the iraqi military is not fighting, allegations that there might have been a conspiracy within the military to surrender because i.s.i.l. has run over the military in all these areas. >> that's true. when you hear the speech given by prime minister nouri al-maliki, he did say that this is a conspire assy and it was a big cheat and questioned the power of i.s.i.l. to launch massive attacks in multiple areas, saying the numbers of i.s.i.l. will not match the power and number of the iraqi security forces. he did call on the iraqi commanders, officers and soldiers who left their positions to rejoin the iraqi army in order to restore the

country's reputation and root out what he described as terrorists from mosul and other areas. it brings us to another question is the fact that how the iraqi army was built. many criticised the way it was built, set up from - to start with, from the days of the u.s. occupation of iraq. many say there was a lot of militia said integrated in the army, and therefore the army lacks professionalism, and there are other problems which are related to the lack of weaponry, pay and lower moral. >> what else is happening in baghdad. the situation there is not good to begin with, there has been a series of explosions. >> over the last couple of hours there were three explosions, two suicide attacks and one a car bomb at an iraqi federal police checkpoint.

the situation is very tense not only in the capital, but across the country. >> we have supports of 500,000 that may have fled moss you will. appreciate your time. >> we are joined by douglas olevant, he's a former u.s. army officer who did two tours in iraq and led the planning for the surge and with is the new america foundation. good to see you again. beyond the obama administration putting responsibility on the iraqi government saying it had to work harder to stop the spread of jihadists and do more to help the iraqi people, there has been silence from u.s. officials on what is turning into a major crisis. why. there is a lot of silence and you have to agree with what the white house says, it's an iraqi problem, and they should help themselves

here. we are talking a couple of hun tread or 500 fighters, and they have a big army. if this were any country september iraq, we'd lean further forward. >> senator john mccain and others said we should have left a troop presence in iraq. marco rubio said this, he said: is that the case, 4,000 americans died, many to control the area that i.s.i.l. has taken control of. >> well over 4,000. i disagreed with john mccain.

i agreed with the withdrawal of the u.s. troops. it was never possible in iraqi politics for us to stay. the politics of men's staying in iraq was pad in the united states. it was god-awful in iraq. there won't be american boots on the ground. air power is different. we have seen leaked reports that the iraqis have talked to u.s. officials about the use of air power that would not require leagualties, that can be done with the stroke of a pen by the iraqi prime minister, and that may be in play in the days. was it a problem, a mistake for president obama to switch focus to afghanistan, and not work harder to leave a presence in iraq. i hear what you are saying and nouri al-maliki may not have wanted american troops to stay in iraq. by taking everyone out and focussing on afghanistan, did we send the wrong message.

>> the politics of this were not going to work. it's not that the leaders didn't want the american troops to stay, they did. they couldn't sell it to the base. they wanted the american troops gone. was it a mistake to turn the attention to afghanistan. that's another topic than what we are dealing with tonight. but i think what we need for iraq now is more attention, not so much troops, not so much funny. they don't need the money. they may need our power. absolutely they need focused attention from washington to help the crisis. this is an area that is controlled. that stretches a few dozen miles west of baghdad all the way to the mediterranean. it's an enormous area. this is now the primary area for u.s. counterterrorism in

the years ahead. could this be a new afghanistan, a territory under control for insurgents that don't like us. >> it's a new afghanistan. it's actually in a place that is geographically convenient. if there has to be al qaeda in the world, i can't thing of a better place to put them. syria and iraq are different. you can walk from there to turkey, and from turkey go into the entirety of europe. this is a place where it's easy to come in from europe and back from europe. from europe jihadists. with e.u. passports. native yooup eaches and the children of immigrants moving in and out. >> president obama's nominee for ambassador for iraq, stuart jones hopes it will get groups

in iraq to work together, especially the kurds and the iraqi government. let's hope that's the case, a lot to worry about. thank you for joining us. good to have you. most americans see childhood as a suspiciously time when kids grow and learn, sheltered by loving parents and schools. according to a study in the paediatrics journal in the american medical association, a stunning number experience neglect and abuse. between 2004 and 2011 more than 12%, one in eight american kids, from birth to age 18 experienced maltreatment of some sort. for more i'm joined from new haven by christopher willederman, asociology professor and lead author of the study. good to have you with us. one in 100 u.s. kids suffer maltreatment. you have not looked at one year, but what happens over 18 years of life. what you found is really alarming is the only way i can

put it. >> yes, that's right. what we did was take this annual estimate and accumulate it over the course of a child's childhood from birth to age 18. by doing that we see one in eight american children can expect to experience a confirmed maltreatment episode at one point in their childhood. >> the numbers are based on cases reported to child protection agencies around the country. there's a concern that this may be, if not the tip of the iceberg, not the whole story, that the numbers may underestimate how bad the problem is. >> that's correct. i think my collaborators and i think of the estimate as the flaw. to be in a dataset, someone has to suspect maltreatment occurred, report it to child protective services. they have to see that evidence as sufficient to launch an investigation, and then they have to be able to prove their

child maltreatment did occur. it's the multistage process for the 12.5% of children. >> the center for disease control puts the cost of kids mistreated at 124 billion. it is affecting everywhere. it lifts physical, sexual, he motional abuse and neglect. maltreatment is the broad term that you use. how much is neglect and how much is abuse. >> in 80% of the cases are neglect. 20% are physical, emotional and psychological abuse. the thing i would want to say about that is for maltreatment to be confirmed as neglect, that neglect has to be so chronic or severe that it's quite serious and has really important implications for children as well. the example i give people is

neglect is not leaving your car running at the gas station, running in to get a coffee while your kid is asleep and sprinting out, it's a 7-year-old left to watch the 3-year-old and 1-year-old sibling on his own for three days. severe. >> we mention the cost, the tremendous. >> yes, you know, if you make a list of all the things that you never want to have happen. i think those are the things that it looks like child maltreatment leads to. so it's sloutly devastatingfor children's lives. >> you found the risk was almost identical for boys and girls, but broken down by race and ethnicity. discrepancies.

>> well, i think the thing that really drives it. so if you think about child maltreatment, the thing that drives that is people being overwhelming by the things associated with parenting, the things they need to take care of and not having adequate resources. we think of this as being structural where african american parents are likely to feel overwhelmed by the strains of parenting because they have few resources because of their structural position. we think the racial ethnic disparities are driven readily. it creates the race. >> one common misconception is the cultural differences in perception and parenting

- while there are cultural differences in parenting. the behaviours that show up in the dataset, no cultural group would feel comfortable with. it's not that african-americans would be more likely to enjoy some parenting practices than asian americans would, there's something more serious going on. >> most of the maltreatment is in the first five years of life. most overwhelmingly is by parents or people connected closely to the parents. what can we do. what are we doing to improve this serious problem. >> yes, the big thing that we should do is develop proactive policies instead of reactive. at this point what i mean when i say we have reactive policies, we try to prevent child maltreatment after it's already been reported to child protective services. we wait until a child is maltreated and we intervene on their behalf afterwards.

we need proactive policies, and there's a host of examples, like the nurse home visiting programme in denmark, where what we are trying to do is not dim innish children's risk of maltreatment, but we are trying to keep it from happening for the first time. we need to move from the reactive policies to mo proactive policies. >> given the financial cost it may make sense to be preventive and proactive instead of reactive. certainly the problem - we appreciate you joining us today. >> absolutely. thanks for having me. >> coming up widespread wrongdoing on wall street helped to trigger the financial crisis. why did whistleblowers be the ones to pay with their jobs. george h.w. bush disturbance 90. commander-in-chief. >> and the

>> this, is what we do. >> al jazeera america. the new king of the road is uber, but the throne comes with competitors and controversy. uber allows customers of about 3 dozen companies to order a car with a smart phone button. the company can get a car to 43% of americans within five minutes. it was valued at get this more than $18 billion. uber drivers are earning as much as three and a half times what taxi drivers do. that led to protests across the u.s. and europe, including one

in london on wednesday, from traditional taxi drivers furious at the competition. let's ask alison chantelle, she profiled the company as a senior reporter. i use uber often, but when i think i won't get a taxi, because it's more expensive. i can't imagine the demand is really shunting demand for cab drivers aside. why are they so angry? >> part of the reason they are angry is that uber operates above the law. a lot of times they do. they ask for forgiveness more than permission and they come to cities despite regulations being in place. it makes cab drivers mad, because they had to get licences and uber drivers are coming in, turning on the technology and picking people up. >> i understand the difference between them and a taxi driver, we have limo services throughout the country, black car services. is uber fitting more that model?

>> that is how it started. it's expanding into a competitor with taxi. they have uber taxi working with the cab company, and uber x. you and i could run to the scpar pick people up. they have lowers and uppers, black car like you talk about. >> you have variety. wouldn't they be regulated in the same way? >> they are a little difference. uber doesn't employ the drivers. they act connecting the supply and demand. because of that, the rules are a little different. >> we are talking a big difference in money between regular cab drivers and uber drivers. the bureau, the taxi drivers make about $25,000 a year in 2013. uber says its drivers are making $90,000 a year in new york city. it's a big difference. you may think cab drivers may

like that. it gives them more opportunities and jobs. >> there's a lot of cab drivers coming over on to the uber platform. remember, the 90km figure is a medium number. there could be a successful outlier. there's small business fees that the drivers have to pay. when you take that into account, it's 15km lower. like 75km in new york. it's great. >> and it's deductible. all those work out well for the drivers at least. how about consumers, could it hurt consumers by hurting the cab industry. to people that don't want to by hurt? >> they could. as uber ex-ponds lines, the prices are more like a traditional cap one thing that has been a source of contention is the pricing that uber has in

placement when there's a storm and a lot of people want rides and increases the demand, the price is jacked up. >> is that capitalism. when it's poring rain i see that it's double the price. it hurts, and usually i pass. >> uber likes to remind people that there are still sub ways you can take. this is a luxury item that people are spoilt with. >> in the old days you wouldn't have had an uber. you would have been stuck. there has been serious issues in relation to the questioning of their model because of the independent subcontractor thing and whether they are looking at drivers carefully. in november a man in san francisco - he said a driver beat him calling himhomo phobic. in march a lawsuit was filed alleging a driver fondleded her. last week an uber driver was charged with two counts of battery on the same day a driver was arrested on suspicion of

kidnapping a woman with the intention of intentionally assaulting her. are they doing enough? >> they are controlling what they can. they increased background checks to be multistate as opposed to one state. if you look in the cab industry tore authoritative industry there'll be issues of horrible things like battery and what you just discussed. what uber does is they do background checks, motor vehicle checks, sex offender checks and throughout their time with uber, they are protecting how they can, they'll catch up. >> wolent the protests, are they having n effect. >> they are all over. in miami they ran a siting, the miami regulators were running a siting.

in europe, one affect that it ha h was good branding. it was that today in london 850% more downloads of the app occurred this time an a week ago. they are like "uber is in our city, let's download it." >> it's changed things for people that have access to uber. 42% of americans do. your profile of uber focuses on the head of the company who is a character. they urge people to go to "business inside are", that's a great story on its ownment alison shon tell thanks for joining us. >> that's it for "consider this", find us on facebook, twitter, google+ - see you next

>> welcome to aljazeera america. i'm stephanie sy, and here are the stories we're following for you. the battle for iraq rages on. we'll have reaction from washington. brazil prepares for opening day of the world cup. security is tight as millions arrive for the matches. and plus, a colorado town with a once colorful past now could be wiped off the map. we'll talk to the last man standing.
