boy, a promising sign that the economy is getting healthier. much more than economists expected and tun employment rate went down, its lowest level since december 2008. now the gains were widespread, but president obama says the country can do better. >> so it gives you a sense that the economy has built momentum. that we are making progress. we have now seen almost 10 million jobs created. over the course of the last 52 months. >> so this is the first straight month of job gains above 200,000. had to go slow on that. help give a big boost today, the dow brokes 17,000 for the first time ever. it closed early for the holiday weekend, up 92 points finishing at 17,068.

patricia here to walk us through the numbers and what it all means. >> so i know you just gave us this number, but i will give it to you again, because it is a blockbuster, 288,000 jobs created last month, that is way above expectations. the unemployment rate edged down to 6.1 with%, and it edged down for the right reasons. that number held steady, so we are seeing unemployment go down for the right reasons and not because people are getting discouraged. now, let me show you another number, because there are always happiest with this report, and that is average hourly wages. now, they only went up 6 cents to $24.25 an hour, that means there are people just keeping up with innation, they are not really getting ahead of it. and former u.s. deputy secretary seth harris told us, we need to see wages pick up to see a

real meaningful celebration in the economy. >> we with need to see a lot more tightness to drive an increase in hourly earnings. we are seeing personal increases. they are getting meaningful pay increases. but they are not seeing increases and as a consequence the economy is not growing as fast as it could be. >> we still aren't seeing the really quality jobs. 16,000 jobs that's a bet, construction though only 6,000 jobs and tony those are so important, because as you know those are the jobs that create other jobs that have a multiplier. >> so help me here. so this report, this is more robust, as i mentioned than the economists expected, does this mean that all of that bad news from first quartser behind us now. >> well, there is a lot

of noise in that g.d.p., and there sols is a lot of noise, we are definitely seeing the jobs come back. this is really helping, this is five months in a row of job growth. in fact, in the last six months for this year, we see 1.4 million jobs added so far this year, and that's the best half year since the end of the recession. the weather has warmed up, haven't we seen numbers to suggest that. >> we are also seeing inflationary, and are workers go ink to make enough to get out in front of inflation. >> a good indicator number the next thingly be looking at is the consumer prices. really what we want to see is what is going on with real wages.

here is another in some states the jobless rate is now higher than it was before the recession. to welcome people living nearby, to say they need help. >> one for you, and one with for you. >> here, neighbors can pick up a box of donated food to feed their families. >> 85% of the people that we serve now are 2000 to be unemployment crisis. i mean they are actually out here with no income, and no resource. >> and no longer any government assistance. december the u.s. congress ended long term unemployment, overnight, close to 2 million people

lost government help. that number goes up by 70,000 each week. request the u.s. unemployment rate stuck just above 6%, her adult daughter hasn't been able to find work, so she moved back home, five people now live on helen's small government pension. >> i retired desks so since i retired i have been taking care of her and her three boys. >> but the stress of supporting so many on so little she has taken it's toll, she is not alone, a survey of more than 350,000 members last year, revealed the longer they were unemmied the more likely they were to be depressed. roughly those that have worked for one month, 10% reported depression, for more than a year or more, that's because the u.s. economy may have improved from it's collapse five

years ago, but only for some americans. >> the recovery worked well for the people in the upper etch lons of our economy. the bankers, the millionaires, the executives. >> those in the middle and working class, say that income hasn't kept up with innation. before the u.s.ry session, she had a high paying salary position, now she works multiple jobs at an hourly wage, for tens of thousands less and little job security. >> i am working just temporary, nothing permanent. which can end at any minute. >> and there's a real possibility that could happen if u.s. economic news continues to decline. >> al jazeera, washington. >> let's get you to the middle east now, israel has begun sending troops and reenforcements to it's border the gaza industrial.

prayers continue. many believe he was killed in retaliation for three israeli teens earlier in the week. and nick, smoke at the u.s. embassy today, what did he have to say. >> . >> yes, tony, the context for these comments are down south. on the one hand, you have israeli troops rushing to that border, reenforcing the troops that they already have there. on the other hand, you have 40 rockets i scoring to the army, flying into israel, two of which hit the city. so after all of that activity, he goes to the embasssy, and he says what could be or might be heard as a consolelatory note, he says the first possibility is that the

firing of our communities will stop and therefore my forces will step back, then he continues the second possibility, is that the firing will continue. and then the reinforcement forces will act forcefully. and that sounds to many like a bit of a threat. the point now is he can back up his threat. military officials say as of now, this' no desire to escalate, but clearly with these words he is threatenings and has the ability to escalate. >> yeah, and nick, this is all happening against the back drop right of escalating tension. >> yeah, this is really one of the most precarious moments between israelis and palestinians in years. it is very tense. in jerusalem, this is one of the holiest cities on the planet, and you can can see fighting right on the streets. one of the main arteries. so east jerusalem is

filled with hostility, and one for one with family, is filled with grief, and it is all happening right on the streets of this city. east jerusalem, the anger is still shouldering. this community will bury a 17-year-old it says was with killed to avenges the murder of three israeli teenagers. and outside tier gas hangs in the air, inside a mother surrounded by her family, says this' a hole inside of her. >> do you feel like you will ever be whole again. >> i feel, she says, hike my heart has been ripped out. >> mohammed was taken right next to their house, right in front of these shops. and when the news spread of his death, this neighborhood exploded. this is a garbage dumpster, that his neighbors used. palestinian protestors used to fight police yesterday.

hoost night and this morning two rockets slapped into this neighborhood, apartments hit directly, but luckily no injured because the family whose live here are hiding in safe rooms just like this one. they have grown one the rocket terrific. they have memorized a 15 second song. 15 seconds because that's how long they have to run to a shelter before a miss sill can hit. >> we can'tmy a really normal life like any other teenager. but our normal life. >> in the bomb shelter. so yes, it wakes me up a lot. but you get used to it. >> behind their fence is the army's fence. and behind that, less than a mile away, is gaza. every night, gaza is beginning to feel hike a

war zone, in response to the rockets the israeli military unleashed 15 strikes on rocket launchers and training grounds. 2500 grass zahns ramlied last night in defiance, and in solidarity with those protestors and solidarity with a mother, her son wanted to be an electrician just like his father. my son was burned she says, i hope the people who did this, burn too. >> such sadness and anger, and tony, the worry is that sadness, that anger, the fury, all of that grief, all of these emotions, the fear is they will all increase during the funeral and during the first friday prayers tomorrow right before the funeral of this holiday -- holy ram my dad. >> that bears watching tomorrow, to be sure. nick, appreciate it. the white house says u.s.

troops sent to iraq will be assessing the situation there, and will not be involved in combat operations. but the chairman of the count chief of staff left the role open ended. >> this is not 2003, it is not 2006. this is a very different approach than we have taken in the past. assessing and advising and enabling are very different than attacking, defeating, and disrupting. >> we may get to that point, for our national interest drive us there. >> meanwhile, iraq keys northern region. to decide eseew future after the president of the region asked for a referendum. more now. t. >> came to parliament to deliver an important message. the president of iraq's curdish government told m.p.es the time had come for kurdss to take a step closer to achieving self-determination.

instructing them to stop making preparations for a referendum, and separation from iraq. >> we are the only one whose decide our destiny. without a doubt, we have many allies. we also have many enemies. maybe this is a risk but the time has come to tell the world what we want. and no one can blame us for doing this. >> the move was received positively in a crowd of people gathering outside the building to show their support. this comes to show our support and the announcement of a curdish state, we will support him. saying it has become almost impossible. >> the move falls short of announcing curdish independent, it is a significant number nonetheless, moving toward as referendum, the results of which will predict will be in favor of separation. especially as iraq finds

itself in the middle of a number of power struggles. the government is wills struckling with a surge of fighters taking uhm arms in the north, some even declaring their own state. and with thousands of iraqi soldiers threing from their positions, the curdish troops moved in, taking control of new territories. a city that is up until now is disputed between the kurdss and arabs of iraq. on wednesday, prime minister accused curdish politicians of taking sprang of the turmoil, to essentially capture new territory. this is unacceptable, absolutely rejected. the issue is not over yet. >> but curdish politicians say maliki has no one to blame but himself. >> he described the whole situation, the reasons behind that, the failure of his policy, the toll tin system, and grueling iraq in the last eight

years and his military responsibilities for the other areas. >> echoed inside parliament, who insisted there was no going back for it's forces after taking control of new areas. >> strong words from curdish legislatures here who are adamant they will move forward, despite warnings by prime minister nori maliki that he will not recognize a move towards holding such a referendum. inside, the parliament here, the flag of iraq and that of the samuel curdish region are still hoisted. however if this is held, it could be a matter of time before this flag no longer stands. well the first named storm of the hurricane season is making a name for itself, and threatening plans for millions.

although you can't really force people to evacuate. what we with can expect. >> that's right. as of 2:00, we are looking at 90 mile-an-hour winds. the storm is getting closer to the carolina coast. take a look at the radar, and you can can see the eye right here. the storm is moving to the north-northeast, but it is about to make a turn to go more to the northeast, and we will be seeing, of course, a land fall with this storm sometime after midnight. now, we are going to be seeing some very heavy rain showers. beach erosion is also a factor, in this area. of course, to the south of the storm, we are still talking about the rip currents to the north, we are talking about the hurricane warnings, the watches nerving, now the storms will be moving quickly, so tonight will be the worst part of the storm.

at 8:00 p.m., the storm will be to the south of the outer banks. we do think the storm will be glass fied as a category 2. the next advisory will be at about 5:00. very heavy rains are expected. anywhere between five and six-inches of rain. and it is expected in that area, and we ourselves will be seeing rain. >> yeah. i think the major airports are starting in the new york area to cancel some flights as well. all right, appreciate it, thank you, sir. >> the surge of unaccompanied miners overwhelming the southern border continues to spark debate on capitol hill, a homeland security committee held a field hearing on the issue today, in the border town of mcallen texas, and texas governor rick perry attacked the obama administration, allowing undocumented youth to stay in the country adds to the crisis.

>> whether it's the right decision from my perspective to immediately deport them or the short sited and tragic decision, to essentially turn them lose in the united states, some may think by ahowing them to stay here, that it's more humane option. and i assure you it is not. >> small town has become a flash point for the immigration debate. now protestors turned away a border patrol bus of undocumented families just two days ago, and the aingeser still growing among people who live there. >> they are not born here. >> they need to go back to mexico. >> . >> use the word ill heel aliens. they came across here, illegally. >> wednesday night, hundreds pack add town hall in california

demanding answers. >> is there another bus coming to our city. >> we will receive one airplane every 72 hours. >> less than 24 hours earlier, many of these same residents are part of an angry roadblock that forced three buss away from the mir yet that border patrol station. the vehicles ended up in another facility 60 miles away, where 140 undocumented immigrants mostly women and children, walked into an uncertain future. >> it is heartbreaking to see this happening. >> the man in the middle of the controversy is the city's mayor, he initially sparked the stand off calling on residents to complain about the transfer to elected officials, speaking to al jazeera correspondent, the mayor says he doesn't blame immigrants he blames the system. >> we have a federal policy that's not being enforced and two, is broken. it isn't efficient, so we are standing up against the federal policy, or

the lack thereof. this is about balancing our responsibility to treat in a humane way those who are attempting to enter this country. but also sending a clear signal to everybody inside this country, and to people in other countries who might be contemplating making the very dangerous trip, that the law will be enforced. >> the u.s. government is driving that home. in spanish ad warns against parents sending their children to illegally cross the border alone, assuming they can become u.s. citizens. al jazeera. >> and ahead, roxanne that gives us a closer look at the money being spent on ads to disspell rumors in central america. also, coming off strike that could close 29 ports in the west coast. and it could have a major immarket on businesses, shoppers, details and a

thousands of europeans are exercising their right to be forgotten. 70,000 requests for privacy since the end of may, that is when a court ruled that the rights to privacy extends to the web. the european court justice said other search engines must remove lanks to people. fears of a massive strike looming on the west with coast to tell you about now. a contract covering some 20,000 doc workers. so far, union workers have stayed on the job while they continue to negotiate a deal, but it is not a done deal. melissa take a moment and describe the kind of impact a strike could have? >> tony, is good news is that a strike is unlikely. we don't want to see the same thing that happened in 2002, when the lock down shut down the ports for ten days and some people said it cost

$1 billion a day to the economy. but, of course, despite the unlikelihood of a strike, the retailers and manufacturers still have to come up with plan b, plan c, plan d, just in case they are worried because they have to keep their she felts stocked. >> these con tapers are the future. that will mine shelves this fall and holiday season. as most of the goods that come into the united states, came through the gate way. the port of oakland is the fifth bestiest in the united states, and the third busiest on the west coast. all that could come to a grinding halt. >> they have a great deal of power, they can shutter down the entire west coast. really exert a great deal

of economic pressure. this is why the united states government through the attorney general has intervened. in past disputes. longshoreman can make anywhere from 25 to how dollars an hour. is healthcare. the subsequent backlog took months to clear. west coast handled more than two-thirds of the cargo, including the bulk of merchandise from asia. 29 ports are at stake, including those in los angeles, long beach, oakland, portland and seattle.

while negotiations continue between the ports and the union, but outside they tell us again narks a strike is very unlikely, because both sides stand to lose a lot if everything behind me shuts down. so why is this one different? >> brent question and the reason is economics. and so we are seeing a lot of competition. the west with coast port competition from canada, mexico, and also east coast ports. so this is incentive for the ports and the union to get along.

that also means jobs for the union. melissa, chank. just days after protests forced the first bus heed to turn around, we will talk to a member of the city council. and the new ad campaign preventing those from crossing the boardner the first place.

california town is pushing back at a border patrol town to process the thousands of undocumented residendocumee border. the government is trying

to relieve pressure. take a look at these for a second is. the plan is facing stiff opposition for residents who fear their community will have to support the influx, and rick gibs is with us, he is a civic councilman. and was at a recent town hall meeting on the subject of the migrants. rick, was that last night? yeah, that was last night wasn't p it. >> yes, it was. >> tell me about the meeting. and my understanding is that there were a lot of vocal protestors there, what were the chief concerns expressed in that meeting, please. >> the meeting had approximately 750 protestors filling up the high school auditorium. it was a overflow crowd of about 500. it would be incorrect to say that these are all murrieta residents, they came from all over the state of california. their chief concern was a lack of information from the federal government. that was there going to

be another group of immigrants that would be arriving in murrieta. on friday the 4th of july. as a councilman in that story, were the concerns that you have addressed and were the concerns of the citizens of the city maybe not the folks that came from outside areas but were your concerned addressed and the concerned of your constituents addressed? >> the concerns that i have were addressed as much as they possibly could be. because there is still a lot of information that is unknown at this time. lited me stop you from, what else do you need to know that hasn't been communicating. what else do you have that weren't addressed last night that are still outstanding for you?

well, the first person is how many people will come through the processing station. undetermined. all we know is once every 72 hours we will see a bus load of immigrants arrive for processing. the story that isn't being told, there's a lot of people, myself included that do not believe that what is happening is humanitarian at all. they cross the border, they are transported to southern california, then they will be transported from san diego, to a processing station in murrieta, and that processing station was built to be a jail facility. >> right. >> border patrol primary responsibility in the city of murrieta.

>> as you know,s in a situation that needs to be addressed right now. if there were a better option available, are you saying that the government is not taking advantage of a better option the one that is being explores right now? i would say none of us would want our children or grandchildren to be sleeping on a concrete floor, sitting on steel benches using a one hole restroom facility that is in plain sighted of other people, no ability to wash, shower, and you're diet consistents of. >> disnot meant to be a permanent solution, it is meant to be a processing center.

do you have a better option than the one being explored right now by the federal government? >> well, the long term solution is when the president's request arrived in capitol hill. this is a humane facility. along the rio grand valley, that is long enough to hand and process the influx. >> got you. >> and hiring enough immigration judges so that the people are not kept waiting. >> your mayor says your community anger is directed at the federal government immigration policy, and not the

migrants. we will roll pictures of members of your community, and maybe these are outside of other parts of the state, but as you look at these, and hear the shout goose home, go home, and you see the signs that doesn't look particularly humane to me, that doesn't look like a protest against the federal government, it looks solely directed at these migrants to you agree with with that? >> it really out to be done in a polite and respectful manner. some of those protestors are yes, there is anger against the federal government, but clearly we are a commute with 30 churches, with a hispanic population, which is about 26% of our 107,000. and i don't think that those protestors reflect the view of the arrange citizen in murrieta. in regards to humane and

humanitarian treatment. councilman, appreciate your time, good to talk to you. >> the administration is launching an ad campaign to stop this problem. roxanne that is here with with more on this. >> tony, the administration says more than 200 immigrants have died crossing the border, illegally since october, these new ads in spanish highlight those dangers in a very dramatic way. >> in this ad a teenager boy dreams of escaping to the u.s. his mom warns him the journey north is dangerous. but he decided he who doesn't take a chance, doesn't win. the story is real. and the message is harsh, the young boy doesn't make it. >> the ad is part of a

media blitz including thousands of spots and hundreds of billboards. this one comes with a new sense of urgency, the images of children sleeping on floors has raised concerns about a surge in unaccompanied miners. more than 52,000 children have been detained in the last two months overwhelming the system. president obama has warned the u.s. will send most of them back home. >> send a clear message to parents in these countries not to put their kids through this. >> critics say these ads are pointless, they say many families think the promise of life in the u.s. outweighed the risk of staying in central america. and the dangers of relying on smugglers known as coyotes. >> the parents know exactly what is going -- what these people are, how dangerous the trip is, and they are sending them anyway. because they are desperate to get these kids into the u.s. so an ad campaign is not

going to do anything -- maybe dissuade one or two families. very tiny amount, but nothing major. >> the campaign is set is to run through early sent, it will focus on american cities with big spanish speaking populations. the campaign is also going to focus on countries like el salvador, honduras. >> so necessary. appreciate it, thank you. pakistan's police could receive sweeping new powers to cantate threat of antigovernment group as new antiterrorism bill gives police the authority to shoot suspects on site. nicole johnson has more now from islam. it is believed he was taken off a public bus by security forces. >> i feel but then i have to do the counseling myself, and say yes he

we have zero water supply this year. and we have been below 50% water sup is ply for the last five years. we with have is been using ground water exclusively, but this year exclusively with with no surface sup is ply coming in. wattser is an up limited resource, and don't rewhennish with with surface water we are use nag aqua forthat is under there. i hear zero water sup is ply i would be crazed right now. you seem calm, but i guess you have been through this a few times. this is the first time that we don't see a -- a road to viable water supply. >> really? >> in the future, i think

everybody is scared. my family has less than half of their acreage this year, and we with are doing it all with with ground water supplies. we are really unsure of how we with grow anything based on how much water we have extracted from the ground. >> so are you buying water? >> we with have, there's very little to buy the district, don't have enough to make it a crop, and so they are going to sell that to another former that hopefully can make a profit with with that. >> so is some is are making a calculation because they don't have enough to make a crop.

basically remains the only asset in the market. >> that's scary, so is are farmers in your water district, are they being priced out of the market? prices normally for our water supply are around the 100 per acre foot range. we are in price ranging around the one with thousand dollars to $2,000 level. not many crops can sustain those. >> last question for me, what is concerning. i am not hearing you express a sense of optimism that there is a light at the end of f this tunnel. s there? >> you can fortunately the water delivery system

is is very political. the rules that govern it are controlled by the federal government. the state government, and neither of those entities feel the need to take a leadership position, and fix this problem. >> and so what is required here, is somebody standing up and being a leader and saying we have a problem with our water sup is ply, and we with will have a holistic approach i think the positive is is the entire state has been impacted. it's been segments and is the entire state of california impacted by this lack of water sup is may. and there may be enough political pressure is to force some of our political leaders to show leadership. >> they also told us water issues will require
