>> this is al jazeera america. live from new york city. i'm tony harris with a look at today's top stories. the white house pledge hundreds of millions of dollars to stop an influx of migrant children coming to the united states. in baghdad chia and sunni leaders calling for peace in iraq.

>> we have been focusing on this issue all week. an influx of migrant children crossing into the united states. today a new step to fix the crisis. vice president joe biden to deal with the growing problem. mike viqueira join us now from the white house. what is this going to mean and the timing on this, why now? >> this is reaching crisis proportions. vice president biden stopped by gall mahlah to try to do something about the sudden influx of migrants, many of them unaccompanied children into the united states. the administration said that it's based on rumor unfounded rumors that once here these things will be able to stay. we'll try to get to some of the

root causes of violence, the gang violence in many of these countries now is becoming overwhelming. they're becoming very dangerous places. in addition to the economic situation which is not good across much of central america. here's the money breakdown now. the funding includes $40 million to reduce gang membership in guatemala. $18.5million to build youth out reach centers in honduras. vice president biden is in guatemala, and there is some disagreement. the leaders of these countries want special permission, special treatment and dispensation for many of their citizens when they come to the united states they don't want them put in these detention centers that are burgeoning in some parts of the united states. >> this is a lot of money, but this is not enough to fix the problem.

what goes along with the cash. >> reporter: yes, migrants have been sent to detention centers in military bases. the problem is 52,000 unaccompanied minors so far from central america. so many that it's overwhelming the immigration system in this country, the administration move to go hire more immigration judges, more asylum counselors to get this system expedited but now it's reaching crisis proportions. the spokesman laid the blame squarely at bad actors in some of these countries. >> what we're doing is working in collaborative fashion in central center to address it at its root. some of this is at informational campaign, countering this.

>> with all the wheels turning in washington, jay johnson, the secretary homeland security is now on the ground in texas trying to tour some of these facilities touring the border to come up with some kind of solution. >> mike viqueira for us. thank you. the obama administration's efforts are aimed at helping those migrant children in different countries. david mercer went to guatemala to find out why so many are trying to make it to the united states. >> allison gomez is desperate to leave guatemala. a neighbor attacked her without warning. now allison is scared to leave her house. it's enough to drive the 14-year-old north to join her father in the united states. >> i told my dad i'll go even if it's with a smuggler because i don't want to be here. i want to be with my dad and my

brother to study and to have a better life. >> millions of young central americans like allison dream of going to the united states to escape violence and grinding poverty. with rumors that the border patrol won't turn away women and children there is a surge of children making the trip north. it's alarming. on a fact-finding trip to southern mexico, there were twice as many child migrants as part years. >> it's incredible. i did not sleep for three nights after looking at the conditions these kids travel in. we saw a mother traveling with four children, and we saw children traveling alone with people smugglers who supposedly will take them to the parents in the u.s. >> reporter: illegal immigration is big business, and the rumors are hard to silence. in towns across guatemala

smugglers are easy to find. and now they may be selling them fake documents. this family does not want to show their faces. after paying a smuggler $10,000, she and her daughters were told to walk into the united states and turn them in to the border control. instead of sending them to chicago, all of them, including her husband, were deported. >> they were told that they would give us permission to enter, we trusted them. it's very hard. all of your dreams are crushed. >> despite all this allison's dreams are still intacted and the hope of escaping her town and seeing her father again is enough to drive her north. david mercer, al jazeera, guatemala. >> the government is scrapping plans to house hundreds of

central american children in a rural, virginia town. it public officials apologize for keeping the town in the dark about the plans. >> these are illegal immigrants that came over. they are criminals that ar are--they are in our country. they're coming over, and there is no way to keep them from wandering the streets, running away. >> the official said that the immigrant teens would have been screened for disease and criminal background and would have been tightly monitored. calls for unity in iraq.

>> military strikes against isis might have little lasting effect or even be counterproductive if there is no movement towards inclusive government in iraq. it is imperative for the government and backers to know that no reprisals are carried out against the sunnies in revenge. >> we're joined live now from baghdad, jane, what is it like now in the city? are the residents bracing for a rebel attack? >> reporter: they are in a sense, tony. their rising prices. long lines at gasoline stations

and many trying to figure out how they can leave the country. you can imagine how terrifying it would be to be in a city just waiting for the attack. the government has tried to reassure them without much success, but with all the wars, all the attacks, all the threats, they've been through this before. >> this is a weekend ritual in baghdad. here you can find text books, children's books. poetry. it's part of the culture iraqis hold dear. he has a library of 2,000 books but in these troubled times they don't hold any answers.

>> with a sob in the u.s. he plans to join him there in tennessee. the street is the heart of traditional iraqi culture. >> i'm 75 years old, and i have nothing. i'm not a government employee. i spent my life as a laborer, and i will die as a laborer. >> coffeecafes look packed but they're usually more crowded. this is a nation of survivors. they have survived three wars in three decades. the athlete itself was blown up by a car bomb attack and then rebuilt. a lot of people don't know how the country will survive this crisis intact. people used to blame the united

states. a decade later they also blame their own politicians. >> with cities falling to rebel fighters, some want to set up an islamic state. many iraqis feel there is no space for them. a scientist and writer. she said these days she's confused and afraid. >> for a woman like me, i love my freedom. >> here for a while people can forget about the threat of war. but with the region in turmoil they're not sure how long the street will be in an oasis of

culture. >> the temperatures are rising. the electricity is failing. people are bracing for a difficult few weeks. >> look, i don't even know how long you've been in that country, but you've been there for a long time. i'm wondering, the people you speak to on a regular basis who believe there is a chance, and how much of a chance that there will be an unity government formed to governor that country? >> you know one thing that i've learned covering this country and learned it recently hope is not infinite. people have high expectations of what would happen the first election, the second election, even the third election there are so many things broken here there is no hope left.

but what there is, there are a lot of anger towards government leaders. >> jane for us in baghdad. thank you archlet truck bomb exploded in government-held vilsack in the western part of the country. the attack came as united nation's general secretary ban ki-moon made a new appeal on the bloody action. >> ban ki-moon has come up with a six-point plan. there should be accountability for what has gone on in syria. i think with reference to russia that blocked recently the referral of the file. any country who blocked that needs to come up with another plan for accountability. he is again calling for humanitarian access for the country as the security council debates a new resolution on that issue. the main point of the speech, though, is to all parties inside

and outside syria. he's telling them he believes that the war in syria cannot be won militarily, and there has to be a political solution. >> the united states has put two of its biggest allies in asia on a state department blacklist for failing to do more to fight human trafficking. >> this is a call to action. it's a call to consciou conscience. it's a reminder of what happens in many dark places that need light. and we have a responsibility to try to bring that light to these individuals and to these places. >> secretary of state john kerry made the announcement as he released how the international community is fighting human trafficking. while tie lan has stepped up anti-trafficking, it has not done enough on debt bondage, and malaysia has decreased it's anti-trafficking efforts.

contention for the hid of the irs. lawmakers lashed out at the agency for losing computer hard drives, e-mails and key staffers who may have knowledge of targeting of the tea party and other groups. >> reporter: the irs announced that after two years of e-mails from former manager lois learner were destroyed when her hard drive crashed in 2011. today at the house ways and means hearing her successor describe it, the hard drive crash happened long before and not a single e-mail has been lost. today republican paul ryan erupted. >> you told us on monday because we asked you whether any other hard drives crashed this is unbelievable. you told us you were going to give us all of lois learner's e-mails and you learned in

february that this crashed. >> i did not learn in february-- >> i'm not asking you a question. i'm making a statement. >> my apologies. >> you are the internal revenue service. you can reach into the lives of hard working tax payers, and with a phone call e-mail or letter you can turn their lives upside down. >> ryan then accused the irs of holding itself to a different standard. >> you ask tax payers to hand over seven years of their personal tax information in case they're ever audited, and you can't keep six months worth of employee e-mails? and now that we are seeing this investigation you don't have the e-mails. hard drives crashed. you learned about this months ago. you just told us, and we had asked you on monday. this is not being forthcoming. this is being misleading again. this is a pattern of abuse, a

pattern of behavior, that is not giving us any confidence that this agency is being impartial. >> the year-long investigation into the irs including the review by the inspector general has established that the white house was not involved in any of this. that the president and his aides were unaware of irs activities at the cincinnati field office where the targeting took place. at the hearing today democrats marched in lock step of ufo expiries conspiracyies. >> i want to apologize to you for the way you've been treated this morning. i thought this was a hearing and not a trial. >> until government servers were expanded government loss of e-mails was fairly common. you will remember in the firing

of u.s. attorneys the bush white house admitted to losing 5 million. >> and what are the politics behind this? >> the republicans can portray the administration as not trustworthy, and it gets to a central election team. republicans want voters to think that the administration is not up to the task of governing. democrats are trying to get the republican voters to think that they're not up to the task of dealing with things like the economy which rules the day. it's a victory for that particular party. >> david shuster for us. thank you. nearly 80% of senior leaders at the veteran affairs department received bonuses. top officials told congress that the agency gave more than 350 executives nearly $3 million in bonuses. the agency said that the bonuses are needed to keep leaders who make less than they would in the

priority sector. and coming up on al jazeera america, reports of hundreds of accidents involving u.s. military drones including four that simply disappeared. and the tough market is tough in a lot of places but one city can't find enough workers. that story is next.

>> regulating commercial drone flights in the united states. >> not just military drones crashing in the united states, but civilian ones and coming in close to regular air traffic. this is a major concern that

look at all these crashes the military has had overseas, and by large the military is good at flying these. the air force has really tight regulations, but they still crash a lot. imagine how this will happen, how this will work or operate when you have individuals private businesses, other government agencies that's a much harder question to answer how safe and reliable are they going to be when they're allowed to fly and operate drones big ones and little once. >> people across parts of the upper midwest are bracing for more flooding rivers that have overflowed their banks in iowa, nebraska, south dakota and minnesota. days of thunderstorms have swelled and more floods passed a previous record set in 1959.

the mudslides have left two hospital buildings teetering along the mississippi river. >> meteorologist: we've seen daily records, monthly records even yearly records broken for a lot of cities in these areas. we'll show you the forecast. the tournament system that caused all the rain to sweep is now crossing across the great lakes. here across the area we're picking up thunderstorms this evening. unfortunately, we're going to be seeing a lot of flooding along the river rivers. the flood warnings along those river areas. we don't expect to see a lot of rain this evening but up here towards the missouri river, even here along the miss my river and now water is going to be down stream. a lot of flood stages to the north we're going to see flood stages to the south start to peak out as we go through the next couple of days. the forecast looking like this. as we go towards sunday more rain is coming into the forecast right here where we do not need

the rain. on monday even more rain there. we expect to see anywhere between 5 to 6 inches in that area. seeing the flooding going on in the next 72 hours. this is not going to be going anywhere any time soon. as we go towards monday things will be clearing out. until then we're going to see a lot of people on alert. the rural areas don't have levies in place. it's the cities that have the levies. we'll see a lot of farmland flooding. >> thank you. new orleans is world famous as a culinary destination. but since hurricane katrina the number of restaurant has nearly doubled. but there aren't enough qualified workers to staff them. jonathan martin has the story. >> reporter: new orleans prides itself on many things and

distinctive cuisine is high on the list. >> we have this cooking that defines to a great extent who we are. >> to fine dining the restaurant industry has not just rebounded since hurricane katrina, it's exploded. there were 800 new orleans restaurant before the storm in 2005. today there are more than 1400. >> because of the younger generation coming in, and people going out and spending money in restaurant i think it has spurred on a lot of smaller restaurant to open up, which is great. >> reporter: but with more restaurants opening up more than ever before there is a shortage of qualified workers. shchefs, managers and line cooks. >> we're on the hunt all the time for good people. >> kaley owns five popular restaurant in new orleans. with another location set to open this summer she needs 150 workers to staff it. >> i work up at 3:00 and lay

there for a half hour and i worry where we're going to find good people. what does the company need to do to attract good people to stay with us? >> while the hospitality industry has come back since katrina. much of the city's population and available workers have not. >> you can't just come in off the streets and start cooking because the audience for this cooking is much too sophisticated. >> reporter: it hasn't helped that local culinary and restaurant management schools are maxed out. 140 students currently inrolled. >> part of the problem is we cannot produce enough. with a larger facility 5:00 more faculty i'll be able to turn out more trained students and more qualified cooks. >> one restaurant was willing to offer higher wages, health

insurance and a school stipend. >> it really pushed me to take that job. >> reporter: a new culinary and hospitality institute planned for new orleans and local restaurant associations raising awareness about the industry could help with demand keeping the stock of restaurant staffed with a place of a growing appetite. jonathan martin, al jazeera, new orleans. >> coming up, conflicts around the globe have created the worse refugee crisis since world war ii. that's next and almost 80 years after amelia earhart disappeared over the pacific ocean her namesake is about to set off in a new flight around the world. we'll speak to amelia earhart coming up.

>> you know, there are more refugees now than at any other time since world war ii. more than 50 million people have been forced to flee their homes because of persecution, confli conflict, john terrett is here with pretty grim statistics. >> they are grim, and of course the problem is you have all these old wars that rumble on and on and then new wars come along and people are displaced. that's basically what is happening. good evening, let's take a look. it's world refugee day. the u.n. high commission of refugees has taken the opportunity to tell us that a staggering 51.2 million were forcebly displaced from their homes. 6million more than we had i in 2012. that's refugee, sa asylum seekers.

>> during the syrian war 2.5 million people have become refugees and 6.5 million are internally displaced. major new displacement happened in africa, particularly the central african republic and south sudan. and the unhr said this is a staggering statistic, the number was bigger than the population of some medium-sized countries. look at this, that's more than who live in south africa, spain and south korea. here is another remarkable statistic. 32,200 people were forced to flee their homes, tony, every single day in 2013. now major refugee hosting countries include surprising ones. pakistan, iran, they have 800,000 people within their

borders. lebanon, jordan, turkey, they are rule affected by the syrian civil war. the united states still a generous country when it comes to asylum refugees. >> but many in this country believe the united states can do better. we're going to talk about that. appreciate it. thank you. the u.s. for the thousands of people trying to find a new life here the process can literally take years. earlier i spoke with catarina. i asked her about the shortcomings of our current refugees. >> they must apply for asylum within a year of arriving in the

united states. that's something that many individuals are simply not aware of. many individuals who are applying for the united states. they do not have access to counsel or legal information. few arrive at the u.s. border and express that you have a fear to return to your country. you think your government may persecute you and at the very least cannot stop others from persecuting you. you may end up in immigration detention. >> how easy or difficult is it for border patrol agents to discern who is crossing this border because they're being politically persecuted, because they're here for economic reasons or they're here to try to escape their bad deeds in their home country. how difficult is it for these agents to discern that?

>> well, it's a very good point. the asylum process takes time and it takes time for a reason, so that those who are deciding these cases has time to assess these cases. what we're concerned about is that anyone who may have a claim for asylum is identified and referred to the appropriate screening processes here in the united states. to evaluate that claim further. it's very important that all of the government agencies have the resources they need to really take the time and be able to do this. but one thing that i think is very important to note is that although the resources for our immigration--border enforcement has really risen dramatically within the last several years, the funding levels for the immigration course the asylum office, and those who do screening at the border, that funding has not kept pace.

>> that is catarina, senior associate at human rights first. ukraine's president petro poroshenko announced an one-week cease-fire. seven shoulders have been killed in the east. al jazeera's paul brennan is near where the violence took place. >> reporter: this village is about 10 kilometers from the small town way north. and there ha that has seen intense fighting. there have been seven soldiers killed, 30 wounded but they say inflicting heavy losses on the militia as well. they say 2 to 300 militiamen have been killed in those clashes. even to the extent where the military commander in slovyansk saying that admitting that his fighters are having to fall back

and they simply cannot fight against the heavy weaponry. now this is five kilometers away from here, there is still a lot of fight in them. i was asked about a possibility of a cease-fire, they laughed at it. they said they're going to use as many clips of bullets. he'll save the last one for himself. he doesn't want to be taken by the ukrainian military. still huge defiance in militia held territory. >> paul brennan reporting for us. in west africa doctors without borders say the ebola outbreak is out of control and they need help to contain it. aid agencies say it's been difficult to contain the virus because of movements between the countries. in austria america's lead

negotiator says iran and six world powers have a working document on how to limit the iranian nuclear program. they have one month left before the agreement signed and expires. the new deal would bring sanctions on iran and tehran would cut it's nuclear capability. talks are stalled on how many centerfuges iran would be allowed to operate. villages have been caught in the cross fire, jennifer glasse reports. can. >> 20 kilometers from the border of pakistan and afghanistan host province, a new refugee camp is taking shape. the tents are just beginning. >> so far we have registered 1,000 families. thousands of people have fled but they are scattered. living in houses. some in the mountains.

>> they want them all to come here where there will be medical assistance, water and basic needs. one exhausted refugee has died on the journey over the rugged border and one vehicle overturned. trucks are loaded to the brim with whatever the refugees can carry. many fled before the military operation began in pakistan. >> the military came and put check points around us. they didn't tell us to leave. our elders went through them and were told not to worry. stay where you are, we were scared and we left. >> reporter: he said that they left their goats, cattle and most of their belongings behind. leaving the village that was easy, finding a vehicle to get out was hard to find. >> some of the first refugees are in their own tents. they said they came here because the afghans are their fellow

tribesmen. the pakistani prime minister asked that forces seal the border to prevent militants. jennifer glasse. kabul. >> new york is the latest state to legalize marijuana. >> reporter: governor cuomo is expected to sign it into law, the bill allows for non-smokeable forms of marijuana that reaso marijuana. more than 20 states now allow medical marijuana. california is taking a closer look at reports of illegal sterilization of female inmates. the auditor said that non consent was not obtained. it will look into the physicians that performed them.

>> geremi meeks was arrested. >> and i lucy le is the youngest to make the pga cut.

>> in may, 1937 amelia earhart set on her attempt to fly around the world. she and her navigator fred noonan would fly east. they made it as far as the south pacific and disappeared. they were never heard of again and her plane was never found. next week amelia earhart will try for a better outcome. the pilot and reporter is planning her own flight around the globe tracing the path of the woman she's named after. amelia earhart, nice to talk to you. >> good to talk to you. thanks for having me on. >> it's a pleasure. so who gave you, the family name we get, but who gave you the first name, mom or dad? >> i think it was the

combination of both. dad had the last name and mom is very creative. let's give her a name in a no one will forget, and the legacy to the past, and until i was 18 i went by amy. but i realized at 18 it was a great name to have. >> any pilots in your family? >> not really. i'm the first pilot. >> you have this name and then you say, okay, what am i going to do with my life. i'm going to be a reporter, why not also be a pilot. is that how it happened? or is there a different story of how you became a pilot. >> that's exactly how it happened. every day of my life i have been asked, your name is appea amelia earhart, are you a pilot. until i was 21 i would see disappointed looks on people's faces. i started and i am in love with it.

>> when did you decide to take this trip to fly around the world, and why recreate your namesake's flight path that you are on. >> i really started taking it seriously a year and a half ago. my flight career had gone to a new level. i got my instrument rating as a pilot and i was enjoying it so much. i was thinking about the biggest thing i could do, and with the name amelia earhart with that legacy, gosh, what if i could go around the world. i have a passion to help other young women experience aviation and get into flight. i started a foundation putting girls through flight school, but i wanted to lead by example. i committed to it and now we're six days out. >> you're six days out. how are you going to chronicle this. i know you have this social media stuff. how many twitter followers do you have? how many facebook followers do you have? >> i love social media. we'll have twitter followers

tracking our flight and 50,000 on facebook. we're looking at true social engagement all around the globe. we're going to be live tweeting in the air, of course, when auto pilot is on. we have great partners on the flight, and we'll spread the word as much as gleek good luck. i guess there are endorsement deals to follow. you're not bad looking. we'll follow pup. >> all right, thank you. >> have a great weekend. >> i appreciate it. >> coming up on al jazeera america. jumping in to water with sharks. we have more of that adventure coming up.

probably will be a good town again some day. tonight starting at 7, only on al jazeera america >> president obama moved to expand benefits for same-sex couples. the president ordered the labor

department to draft rules making it clear that the family and medical leave act applies to same-sex couples and allow gay and lesbians employees to take paid leav unpaid leave to care for spouse. an estimated 100 million sharks are killed by humans every year. researchers are trying to learn more about sharks and educate the public and cut down on these killings. but to study a shark you have to catch one. filphil torres went to the bahamas where he helped secure an one on it tiger shark. >> since the shark is dorsal fin up. it will provide a wealth of information. >> you want to know what a shark is eating, you an open it up. now we have blood that we can

look at the chemical cam signature of the blood to learn what they're eating. >> the shark is flipped over and they begin the ultrasound. >> this is exciting, first female. now we also need to track where they're going to understand their breeding behaviors. now that's what they're doing, doing surgery and use a transmitter to get precise data. >> because she's pregnanted she's outfitted with a satellite tag tags. >> we're using metal grade titanium to hold it on, and that

makes sure that that tag will fall off eventually. >> there we go. >> so, that's so dog gone cool. phil, phil, that's so cool. so glad to have you on the program. look, i'm proposining a job swap right now. what were you hoping to learn from collecting blood tissue and tissue samples from those sharks? >> as you saw, it used to be that they would have to kill sharks to learn about them. but now they can see how much they're eating, how much fat they have stored and little bits of the puzzle of understanding sharks and ultimately conserving them. >> the pregnant one, why was that such a big deal? >> it was exciting for them.

they did a similar expedition. and most of the sharks were pregnant. this time only that one was. and they can see where a pregnant shark goes versus where a non-pregnant shark goes and maybe get an idea of where they're pupping out. >> how does this help conserve the shark population. >> people have been trying to conserve sharks for decades but they're mysterious beasts. we don't know that much about them. we're trying to learn as much information about them what makes these sharks. >> that must have been a lot of fun. >> they call it controlled

chaos. it feels like madness but they've been doing it for a long time and they ensure that the sharks are safe. people are safe, and i got to tackle sharks in the name of science. >> had you done anything like that before? >> that whole idea of a job swap, forget that. >> thank you. >> are you kidding me? check out "techknow" this saturday night 7:30 p.m. eastern. that's 4:30 p.m. in the west on al jazeera america. another big world cup supply set to tell but. we'll go live to brazil. also pot sellers in colorado say they should be allowed to advertise on social media. that's next. and then "real money with ali velshi." >> coming up on "real money" they say time is money. i'll show what you americans are spending time on and what it says about the labor force.

plus real life drama at a theater near you. what struggling theater owners are doing to lure americans off the couch and out to the movies. all that and more on "real money."

>> honduras and ecuador. the final game is tied at half, 1-1, but the story of the day came curtsy of costa rica who upset italy earlier today. lee wellings, what a great job he has down in rio de janeiro. costa rica beat the italians. three world cup winners they've taken down to qualify for this next round. did anyone see this coming with this next squad? >> no, absolutely lay not. it was not just to do with

costa rica. it had more to do with their opponents. you're talking about england, uruguay. >> it gets complicated. they didn't expect to do this, no one did. to beat uruguay they need to go on and beat italy, too. what it means tomorro they may go on to beat the group. england are now eliminated. england cannot qualify because of what costa rica has now achieved. this puts all the pressure now on italy and uruguay. there is a man who knows his world cup predictions. >> what is at stake for this match? honduras and ecuador, 1-1?

maybe ecuador and honduras can slip in second place. what a tournament the team from america is having. you've got mexico, the united states and costa rica and what they're achieving. jeffrey webb, he has been very proud of what the teams in the region are achieving here. >> one more and then i'm going to sneak one in. what are the chances that the united states will actually perform really well even win this match against portugal, and i guess the player that many consider best in the world ronaldo? i know they're--the u.s. squad is playing without its striker josie alta door. >> that's the thing with this group.

>> they are there for the taking by the united states. the united states beat portugal in 2002. this time with the confidence, they have every chance of doing it. it's an intriguing group. you would think that germany is the stronger team, but with ronaldo struggling. >> come on, this is--for me this is it the best player in the world is messi. you got like argentina's chances coming through against iran, come on. >> yes, for many years i've liked argentina's chances of winning this tournament. the other team, the host brazil. it is their soil. they are going to get stronger. the argentina will be the clear favorite. >> lee, good to see you.

lee wellings in rio de janeiro. thank you. marijuana businesses in colorado are fighting for the right to advertise. ines is here with more. >> reporter: marijuana companies are not allowed to advertise on facebook and google even if it's for medical use. now the instagram of the marijuana community they want to start advertising on their site, and people are allowed to put images of marijuana. they follow each other. i spoke with paris holly co-founder for online advertisers. >> the cannabis industry really does not have a brand. when you think of any other industry, bmw, mcdonald's, you have something that consumers can attach themselves to and get excited about. for the most part when you are a consumer in the cannabis industry you walk through the door of the dispensary and rely

on the bud tender behind the counter to give you advice. there is very little opportunity for education at the consumer level of these companies. whether you're a manufacturer, a big organization of devices or create rolling papers or on the lifestyle part of the industry it's hard to get your name out there unless those same patients, the consumers are also going to the consumer driven events and seeing your product in front of them. >> there is leeway when it comes to online advertising. if an organization is a non-profit, it's also okay to set up a facebook page. but targeting specific users with ads. that's still an uphill battle, and a big marijuana summit will be taking place in colorado this week and this is certainly a topic that is likely to come up. >> appreciate it. thank you. i got to show you this before we go. check this out, maria, they say any crash you can walk away from is a good one.

how good is this? a traffic camera recorded a motorcycle doing a cartwheel over another vehicle and then walks away with scratches. "real money with ali velshi" is next. . >> well, they are the brazen insurgents in iraq threatening to topple the america that america propped out. how did isil grow so powerful so quickly? i'm following the money. also three letters that could spell strong returns for your portfolio. e.t.f. and drama at a theater near you. what theaters are doing to get you off the couch and out total movies. this is "real money."
