a look at a clip. >> movie reel: you are upset that i'm ruining my life. i don't think it will happy for you to have a baby. this. >> obviously having an abortion is on easiest way out. i felt like i was wrong getting pregnant. like i had done something really bad for the family, and i, you know, had ruined my life. to have sex without a condom was a dumb mistake. i don't want to disappoint my mum, you know, which is why i better. serious issue facing so many teenagers, let's bring in dr john santelli into the conversation, the chair of columbia university population family department, and a paediatrician and adolescent specialist. let's talk about the issue that so many teenagers face, the possibility of having to

terminate a pregnancy. what is it like for them to go through with this, and is one type of teenager more likely to do that than another? >> it's a tough decision. for a woman to go through the decision, it's more difficult for teenagers that have never faced this or realised the consequences. they are trying to figure out their lives, having to understand it. >> does the financial background impact the choice. >> sure. poor kids are more likely to start sex early, less likely to use contraception and less likely to get an abortion. because they see having a baby as a better choice than what is going on in their current life.

whereas a young lady from a weth - wealthy family, with thoughts of a career - that is more prevalent. >> this is interesting, teen pregnancy rates are dropping, but you see a big difference, a decrease in urban areas, but 32% in yurl areas. >> yes. >> why -- rural areas. >> yes. >> why the difference. >> we have seen enormous declines in the teen pregnancy and birth rates. different groups have done better. the youngest kids had the biggest drop, which is great. they are the kids least prepared to have a baby. you see bigger (clips a -- declines among african american youths. and in the last eight years there's decreases in the latino community, his panic young women. the real urban difference - it's interesting,

but groups move at moves to services, education. >> for example, in the documentary, a student is from kentucky, where education is a possibility, other schools do teach sexed and contraception. do we see a difference between what teens are educated and a pregnancy rate? >> kids that grow up in states with abstinence only as opposed to contraceptive has higher taken pregnancy rates. show? >> absolutely, that's what they show. we know the programs, when you evaluate them one on one don't seem to be effective in helping young people stay abstinent, and do nothing for them in terms of encouraging or helping them use contraception. they don't work well.

people believe in them. >> i just got back from detroit last week, where i interviewed a young woman, 19 years old, pregnant for the third time. first child at the age of 13. her mother was a young mother. i saw a cycle of teens becoming parents. is this typical if you are born to a teenage mother, are you likely to become one yourself? >> statistically, there's no question. if your mother was a teen mum, you are more likely to become a teen mum. it's part of the culture, but poverty and social disadvantage. and it's a behaviour pattern that maybe was more functional ago. >> what do we do about this? we are number one in the developing nations. >> we are. >> what do we do about this? >> we can look to the example of

how much better the europeans are doing? >> what are they doing that we are not? >> they are more accepting of adolescent sexuality and insist that children be responsible, and what they mean is taking care of business if they are sexually active. so, you know, the predominant message american kids get is "you shouldn't have sex" that perhaps you to do nothing if you haven't had sex. europeans are better at delivering services. >> what about education, is there a difference there compared to what we are doing here. difference. >> what we know, looking at all the nations in the world. access to education, availability of education has a huge impact on health, helping young women delay marriage, initiation of sex, prevent teen pregnancy, h.i.v. and a number. we see this.

in this country we see young women doing well in school, with good skills to go to, where the teachers, the community encourages them. they are less likely to be a statistic you are worried about. >> dr johnson, thank you for your time here on consider christopher gibson. >> thank you. the new episode of "edge of 18" premieres sunday 9:00pm america. straight ahead - it is being sold as the largest protest on climate change ever. but what, if anything, will the people's climate march accomplish? also, a surprising number of americans don't have a bank account. we'll take a look at america's finances in our data dive. later on the show, why more people riding bikes could be dangerous. >> a new episode of the ground breaking series, edge of eighteen

>> on tech know, fire, devastating and out of control

>> what's at stake here? >> there's approximately 360 homes... >> but now experts say they can predict how a blaze might spread >> this has been in a fire, now we gotta get the data out of it >> playing with fire... >> you guys are working just to save lives... >> i hope so... >> tech know every saturday go where science meets humanity >> sharks like affection >> spot on... >> don't try this at home... >> tech know, only on al jazeera america the organizers hope, hope, it will be the largest climate change protest in u.s. history, it is scheduled to take place in new york city on sunday. 100,000 people are expected to participate. the march will take place two days before the united nations holds a climate change summit with top officials from 120 nation, and that includes president obama.

but despite the marches and summits a lot of americans are apathetic when it comes to climate change. a large majority say they think it is happening, but few want to do anything to stop it. for more on americans, climate change and the march, let's bring in rebecca. thanks for joining us. what do you think, do you think they'll get a huge crowd out here for the march? >> they hope so. they estimate having upwards of 100,000 people at the march. >> that's is a lot of people. >> it is. the largest climate march in history, with over 1,000 groups involved. they hope for a high turn out. >> is that what they are doing, a coalition of different groups they are bringing in. looking through the list, this is not just groups typically associated with environmental issues like the sierra club, but groups like employment unions, and nwecp.

>> yes, that's a big feature of the march. that they are bringing in coalitions and forming new relationships, and bringing in a lot of college students and people that are new to the activism. that is key, that they are trying to broaden climate change so it appeals to groups. >> is that critical. the process. a lot of times when you head to an environment issue, you may head to a rally, you see a lot of the same faces, people to go to similar rallies. when it comes to climate change, is this something that could act vate the populous on. could you get the 24-year-old to put down the cup of starbucks and say, "i'm going to head to a . >> an interesting feature of the march is they don't have a lot of celebrities and leadership speaking to the crowd. and that's a big feature of it,

it's about the issue at the end of the day. and they are going to hold a minute of silence for people who have been victims of climate change, and the key is really about getting - facilitating action on the issue, and it's not about the celebrity speakers of the day. you see some of the same environment groups involved. >> i think it's interesting when you look at the polling on this, two-thirds of voters, according to a poll, believe that global warming is happening, but only one in four, according to the poll, say they'd join a campaign to persuade officials to take action on global warming, and that speaks to the heart of the problem, that people say "this is real, it's a problem", but am i going to do anything about it recycle. >> that's a problem in act vis in general. how -- act vis in general. how do you get people from

caring about it to going to the streets. that's why the mark is unprecedented, bringing in groups, like labour unions, who do a protest. >> they are more versed in how to get the crowd out. maybe it will help. let's talk about the summit, you have done some reporting on it. how critical is the summit. all eyes will be on it. it's an porp deadline. >> this summit is not necessarily about the - you might have heard there are going to be negotiations surrounding a potential global agreement on climate change at the end of 2015. this summit is a sideshow of that. it's more of a rally and to show political support, and to have events like this march that show the public supports this kind of action. so the summit you will be seeing, different countries making announcements as to how they are combatting pollution. surprises?

>> that is something we are watching out for. china, india, the u.s. are the key leaders on this. and president obama himself will be there giving a speech. the administration in the week leading up to the summit has had a lot of announcements on how to cut greenhouse gases. members of the president obama's administration are going across america making the case. one thing that people are looking for is a strong piece from the president and actions to back it up. >> i wonder what we'll see as far as action from the big polluters. there are big advances in alternative energy and in the big polluting countries. >> part of the summit, they are bringing in financial leaders, companies, and fossil fuel companies into the - not

necessarily negotiations, but the summit and that is where you are seeing a lot of announcements on how they are trying to lower greenhouse gases by working towards potentially carbon price or using other kind of schemes to get crean house gases under -- greenhouse gases under control. >> it opens up a whole new can of worms. thank you for your time. >> coming up, bicycles are better for the environment than cars. could they be causing bigger issues. are police doing enough to put the brakes on unlawful bikers. first, the staggering number of americans that don't have enough money to stay afloat if they >> small, medium, large... cluster oysters and white tablecloth half shell oysters. for nearly a century, oysters have been harvested here in

drakes estero. seven years ago kevin lunny bought the floundering farm here and turned it into a 1.5 million dollar annual business, but some environmentalists say he has outstayed his welcome and it is time for the farm to stop production. >> but it is fundamentally incompatible with a national park wilderness area to have a commercial, private oyster operation... it just doesn't fit. >> lunny insists he is a responsible steward of the land and exemplifies sustainability. lunny says if the lower court ruling against him stands, the community may gain a quiet estuary, but some of their cultural history will be lost. >> now available, the new al jazeea america mobile news app. get our exclusive in depth, reporting when you want it. a global perspective wherever you are. the major headlines

>> audiences are intelligent and they know that their needs are not being met by american tv news today. >> entire media culture is driven by something that's very very fast... >> there has been a lack of fact based, in depth, serious journalism, and we fill that void... >> there is a huge opportunity for al jazeera america to change the way people look at news. >> we just don't parachute in on a story...quickly talk to a couple of experts and leave... >> one producer may spend 3 or 4 months, digging into a single story... >> at al jazeera, there are resources to alow us as journalists to go in depth and produce the kind of films... the people that you don't see anywhere else on television. >> we intend to reach out to the people who aren't being heard.

>>we wanna see the people who are actually effected by the news of the day... >> it's digging deeper it's asking that second, that third question, finding that person no one spoken to yet... >> you can't tell the stories of the people if you don't get their voices out there, and al jazeera america is doing just that. >> all right, today's data dive looks at mrn insecurity -- american insecurity over money. half of u.s. households don't have a financial cushionment the corps for enterprising development reported 45% of households in big cities - cities with a population of 200,000 or more - those folks don't have enough assets to cover basic expenses for three months, in case they were to lose an income. for a family of four in poverty, it is about 5900 that you should

have in the bank somewhere. it's technically called liquid access pore, not enough money in bank accounts and stock, things that could be cashed out, and the inability to weather a storm, like a lay off or a bad accident, health problems, is on the rise in america, despite continued recovery from the recession. it is not specific to a region, 75% of households in newark new jersey don't have a cushionsment neither to 60% of people in florida, ohio, michigan, texas. 8% of households in america don't have a bank account. that can be expensive in the long run. someone without a checking or savings account pays $1,000 a year on financial services - including fees at places luke check cashing centers and the pay day lenders.

a bleak picture when it comes to money. well, coming up, more and more cities are looking to encourage people to leave the cars at home and jump in the bike lanes. more on bikes - does that mean

array... >> if you want free press in the new democracy, let the journalists live.

well, if you walk through any busy city, you may have had a run-in with a bicyclist, walkers and bicycles are in conflict over the little strips of pavement that they share, and accidents can be deadly. 59-year-old jill tarlo was left brain dead in new york. thursday, she was struck by jason marshall, bisick lift. witnesses say he yelled for her to get out of the way and he swerved to avoid a group of pedestrians, and that's when he hit tarlo. police say it's not clear who had the rite of way. marshall has not been charged with a crime. josh joins us from boston, an attorney that represents cyclists and blogs on rules and regulations for buying riders. i want to start with an explanation.

the nypc was at the scene and one officer old the new york "daily news." . do you think that fair? >> i don't think it's fair or warranted. this is an isolated accident. when we look at the incidents of cyclists on pedestrian crashes, it's an outlier, it's not a common thing. >> i don't know how you see that. we found numbers, and you see who comes out on the short end of the accidents. in 2013, here in new york city, there were 309 crashes between bicyclists and pedestrians, 316 were hurt, one was killed, only 26 people on bikes were hurt. also you can look at the numbers from 2012, 243 crashes, 244 pedestrians hurt as opposed to 32 bicyclists.

don't the numbers show by sick lifts in new york, and across the country -- by sicklists in new york and across the country may need to be more careful where they are going. >> certainly, and pedestrians can be careful. when you look at motor vehicle and cycle crashes, it pales in comparison to the number of cyclists on pedestrian crashes pales in comparison. >> there's no question. car versus bike accidents are horrible and a number of people die in those every year. but we are seeing, it appears, more and more accidents involving pedestry jps. are police holding bike riders accountable to traffic laws? >> i think enforcement is a part of it. there needs to be more of that. >> do you know anybody that has a ticket? >> absolutely. people call me all the time i

say "did you run the red light?" "i don't." >> knowing we were doing it segment, i watched the bike riders, he went through two red lights, through the third, there stopped. >> i mean, that's part of the - that's part way there. the other side of the going is texting by drivers, friendships. you know, as a cyclist i see it all the time. you look at the cars, and it seems like more than half of drivers are on their phone doing something. that's a problem. >> there's laws in place, california, maryland, minnesota, where drivers have to keep a certain distance as they pass a bicyclist on a road. should bisick lifts -- pedestrians.

>> i think it's a step in the right direction. however, a pedestrian stands to get injured being hit by a bicyclist. it's nowhere another the injuries that you see through a motor vehicle. it's night and day. >> as we get more bicyclists on the road, especially bike share programs that are cropping up, what needs to be done. are the bike laws, the pedestrian laws, are they lacking, are we behind the ball? >> in a great many states, wear, and there are outdated laws in a lot of states. i like to think that massachusetts has some of the best bike laws in the country and i'm proud of that. >> what makes their law so good? what do they have that others are missing? >> a full right to the road. bicycles are not limited to travel within the lanes.

it can travel anywhere a car can in massachusetts. >> what about a pedestrian, where do they go? >> they are at the top of the food chain. deaferens has to be given to pedestrians, no matter what. if there are grey areas, if someone steps off the kerb into the path of a car - cross walks and laws are robust. >> there is tension out there on the roads right now over who has the rite of way, who will win. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. that's all for now. coming up this weekend don "consider this" - congressman on democrats. a programming note - the latest "talk to al jazeera" premieres this weekend. antonio mora sits with taylor smylie who has written a book on the final year of martin luther king junior's life, saying
