>> why prosecutors say he should. does delayed. demanding answers, and getting few. three months after a fatal

police shooting in watford state. plus san francisco fears. safety concerns over a brand new bridge built to with stand the big one. >> we begin now with a developing story from madison wisconsin, the reaction of the news that a white lover who shot and killed a black--a white police officer who shot and killed a black teenager will not be charged. the prosecutor now says he found no evidence of criminal intent. >> anger is brewing at this hour. the district attorney saying that his decision was not based

on emotion but on facts. protesters in the streets of madison, wisconsin after announcement that is no charges will be filed against a white police officer who shot an unarmed black teen. >> i conclude that this tragic, unfortunate death was the result of unlawful police force. >> they called the killing tragic but justified. the police were responding to a 911 call about a violent man from the street. matt kenny confronted the man in an apartment. he had no choice but to fire his weapon. robinson was not armed but he had drugs in his system, acting erratically and attacked the officer. >> thehe was swinging at him. the officer fell back and was

back against the stairs. >> his family rejected the idea that he was a threat. >> he's a great kid. you don't have an opportunity to know the kid i know. >> after so many officer-involved killings, the protesters went to the streets. >> madison wisconsin, isn't ferguson missouri. 77% of the residents are white while ferguson is pre-dominantly black. still, community leaders in madison say that many are scared of the police. >> we need people who see populations with different

lenses. there is too much power and too much authority. >> people on the street say this has been a teachable moment. >> how am i responding to people and should i be responding differently? there's nothing wrong with that. >> robinson's family will be hiring an investigator: wisconsin has the highest incarceration of black men. >> in one community they're waiting for answers after police shot and killed a man. >> john, the county prosecutor said this is a complicated case important to the community and he wants to take the time to get it right. but a lot of people in pasco will tell you that it's really pretty simple. >> february 10th antonio

zambrano causes a disruption at a busy intersection. resists police and turns and run. video shows him being shot and killed fired on by three officers. >> how do you describe the killing? >> a plat out murder. >> an attorney who represents zambrano's estranged wife and children they call the local government corrupt. three charges after the shoot nothing charges have been filed. >> can't you let this play out. >> that's what they would love for us to do, sit idly by and do nothing. >> in a lengthy interview, the prosecutor rejects any notion of justice being swept aside. >> why is this taking so long? >> well, just looking at all the different components, i think from interviewing all the

witnesses usually most homicide cases do not have as many eyewitnesses. >> he describes an usually complicated case with 80 witnesses, many video sources three different autopsies by three different forensic experts. >> i would think any attorney especially someone like mr. trejo, who has done defense work for a considerable time, would want all the information from the process prosecutor before making a decision. this is ruled in the coroner's report that the cause of death is caused by another person. that technically makes it a homicide. >> marchers fill the streets of pasco in a series of rallies in february and march. now the passion seems to be cooling and frustration growing. >> we're going to give you an update today. >> after a few early press conferences information from the investigative unit looking into the shooting has stopped

completely. there have been no official word on progress, no timeline for completion. >> i had hoped to have these reports earlier in april. for whatever reasons-- >> is it frustrating to you as well that it's taken so long? >> absolutely. >> we ask prosecutor sant for a range of charges he might consider? >> we're looking at murder one murder two. >> criminal charges brought quickly against police in other cases around the country most recently baltimore have made the waiting and frustrating all that much worse in pasco. >> look at past eke, they riot, burn this, and that, they get attention. is that what we have to do? we have to do that to get attention? [ sirens ] >> in front of city hall where the daily protest of recent months happen only occasionally now we meet hector. >> brown lives don't matter here in politician. it's frustrateing to understand

why we don't get the media attention that this case deserves. and everybody else gets it like that. >> so far there have been no vandalism and just a few arrests and minor traffic disruptions during pasco protest. attorney trejo has accused the governor of lacking intestinal fort to do for not removing prosecutor sant from the case. he's lacking intestinal fort tied. when the hispanic community turns to you for help, you turn away. >> it's a very racist community. certainly there are some very-- >> are you accusing the prosecutor of being a racist? >> i'm saying that his decision to delay charging these officers

can have a racial animus behind it yes. >> his decision to delay charges these officers can have a racial animus behind it, yes. your comment? >> i don't know what he's getting at. i think we've been very successful in our review of any case, whether someone has been shot that's hispanic, whether or not they're caucasian african american, we look at every case. >> so pasco waits whose. >> what's there to see? it's in black and white. >> where that video leads and when are still open questions. >> the prosecutor is waiting for the final report from the special investigative unit. we understand that that could come within the next couple of weeks. we could see charges right after the release of that report. but we might not. an inquest has been called.

the prosecutor could wait for that process and we could well could be well into summer before we hear the charges. meanwhile protesters tell me that things could get a lot hotter, and i don't think he's talking about june july and august in washington. >> give us some reaction from the community. >> well, it's interesting talking to a lot of folks in pasco. it seems that the protest movement has plentiered a little bit. a lot of people saying we need to stay the course, remain peaceful respectful, don't violate laws. let's say our peace and do it in a calm way. there are others who say this is not working. we could march in the streets block intersections but it just doesn't seem like people are listening. they're looking for an unified voice and having trouble finding

it now. just a lot of frustration as you saw in that story on a lot of different sides because so many months have passed, three now and still no criminal charges. >> in these other cases across the country where there have been police shootings there have been calls to get federal authorities involved. what about this case? >> there were calls very early on, and the department of justice has been involved. but to a limited extent. we understand that the fbi is reviewing the progress of the special investigation unit and checking in on how they're doing. but the calls to have the department of justice come in and take over the case were rejected, just as they were at the state level. so far it is the county prosecuteor shawn stanton that special investigative unit doing the leg work. that unit a made up of police agencies outside of the pas co police department. >> thank you very much. in cleveland another investigation appears to be

winding down. 12-year-old tamir rice was shot and killed by police in november. he was inside a park holding a pellet gun. the county sheriff office took over the case and the sheriff said the majority of work is finished, but he did not set a deadline. moving on to st. louis. an update to a story we brought you last week. newborns stolen from a now-closed hospital and put up for adoption. the police are denying the allegations of all involving africa men mothers. we spoke with one of the attorneys representing the women. >> the lion share of them were 16-, 17-, 18 years of age when they gave birth. they were all african-american. they were all extraordinarily humble means and they were all presented to the hospital alone. not one of them was advised of

the passing of their child by a doctor. which was the protocol as per the policy of the hospital and the standard of care in the medical industry at the time. they were all notified by a nurse. >> i understand that some people that believed they were the children that were stolen have also contacted you. >> interestingly we're not only getting calls from the mothers but we're getting calls from the kids or or or kids whose backgrounds lend to the assertion that they were part of this scheme that clearly was occurring during a dark time in st. louis. >> the st. louis police have told us that they are quote, in the very early stages of an investigation, and are attempting to compile and review records to learn more of what occurred at the homer g. phillips hospital.

how seriously are the police taking this? >> the police do their job. the police are not the one who is are initiating this investigation. the overwhelming response from the public, the inquiry from federal authorities and the very fact from a political standpoint in missouri there is a great deal of sensitivity right now especially about making sure that there is--there is an opportunity for these women during the waning years of their lives to garner answers to a life-long question. some of them have lived a half century or more with this gnawing feeling that they're without their child. that gnawing feel something not born of innocence, it's born of fact. >> he filed a petition in st. louis circuit court seeking access to court files and adoption records from the hospital. there. is more tragic news from nepal. another deadly earthquake shook that country today just as it's trying to recover from a deadly quake from two weeks ago.

dozens killed, a thousand people injured. the epicenter was between kathmandu the capital and mt. everest. tremors were felt as far as end. and brings new fears just as ordinary life was starting to return. >> the earth in nepal shook again. the moment captured by cameras in parliament during a speech by the nepalese president. violent rumbles sent people running from the building. outside on the streets of kathmandu panic. >> i think everything was falling again. that is the thing right now. >> i'm worried for my family. >> this is the second major earthquake to strike in two weeks.

the first one left more than 8,000 dead. thousands injured and survivors desperate. >> this is a very large earthquake. there were subsequently in nepal two other earthquakes in the span of 3031 minutes after the first one. >> creating a scene that has become all too familiar, mass destruction and despair. 600 miles away tremors were felt in neighboring india. and the capital of new delhi people scrambleed outdoors to avoid falling debris. >> aftershocks will continue for awhile. although their intensity and frequency cannot be predicted but for a number of weeks and a number of months they will continue. >> little comfort to survivors in need of food, water and shelter. >> we are all afraid to go inside our houses or buildings with such a strong earthquake

being felt. there is so much fear. how can we go inside? >> u.s. marine corps say that the aircraft is missing with eight people on board. it was last seen delivering supplies in eastern nepal. the chopper may have had a fuel problem, but no signs of a crash. six marines and two nepalese soldiers were on board. secretary of state john kerry was in russia in talks with president vladimir putin and foreign minister sergei lavrov. the secretary of state said he was hopeing to find common ground with russia on ukraine. after several hours behind closed doors kerry said it was a success simply because it happened. >> we didn't come here with an expectation that we would define a specific path forward with one crisis or another or have a major break through. we came here purposefully to

have a very full and open dialogue with russian's leaders. >> the russian foreign minister reportedly warned kerry that sanctions would not deter russia from defending it's interests. now in yemen a cease-fire under way. it began four hours aftering a houthi led targets. that happened in the capital city of saana. off the coast ships are waiting to deliver desperately needed aid. among them a cargo ship from iran. yemen and iran will be the discussion at the white house. representatives from six gulf states will meet with president obama and his national security team. newly crowned ding salmon king salmon is one of four arabs who

will miss the meeting. some are calling calling it a snub. libby casey is in washington libby? >> john, the white house was hoping to see movement today on fast track authority for the president. giving him the ability to go ahead and negotiate the trans-pacific at this point a deal among 12 countries that fuss focuses on asia. it's top priority but today did not go well. >> the senate's vote divided democrats and republicans and in an unusual turn of events and it split most democrats from their command center chief. >> what we just saw here is pretty shocking. >> the senate got 52 votes of the 60 needed to start debating a bill that would let the president move quickly on a trade deal giving him trade promotion authority or tpa. it's part of an alphabet soup

swirling around trade issues. >> those following this debate may be put off by some of the initials that we use around here. tbn, tpa, what is it all about? it's about a trade agreement that involves a dozen countries including the united states. >> democrats did not push forward in fear of hurting trade workers. others basked balked. they want help workers affected by globalization. crackdown on trade agreements. >> this means that american workers are left hung out to dry. now the customs bills to combat child labor those would be left out. to help strengthen the steal and solar industries in terms of enforcement, one of the key

watch words of the bill, those would be left out. >> republicans say that the bill does not need to hit the senate floor all at once and the democrats are endangering the president's agenda. >> the in essence what the democrats are doing today by blocking us from getting on this legislation is throwing their own president under the bus. >> the white house tried to down play tuesday's defeat by chalking it up to a snafu that was repeated 11 times. >> in these procedural snafus have cropped up when we talk about pretty simple and straightforward legislation. >> supporters of the trade deal are trying to hash out an agreement to get the legislation to the floor. but with both sides frustrated, it's failure is up in the air. the president met today with ten senate democrats who are seen as friendly to trade deals and to the fast track authority. democrats who by and large voted

against today's procedural measure. the white house said that they're all still committed to seeing things move forward. the key is whether democrats and rinse can come to terms of how this gets to the floor as one big package that's still up in the air. >> coming up in this broadcast the superbug gone global. it's found in two dozen countries. the new study that has doctors concerned. plus inside america's prisons. a human rights group said that the mentally ill are routine lie abused.

>> a new report about a new strain of typhoid. it's drug resist tents and is spreading globally. 1800 samples were collected from 1992 to 2013. nearly half were from that new

strain. half originates in south asia and spread across the continent before appearing in africa and in fiji. saline is an infectious disease assistant. how concerns should world "world health organizations" be? >> essentially only one of the common antibiotics in our arsenal for this bug are available. this means that it's more toxic. >> how quickly is it spreading? >> quite quickly. in the last 20 to 30 years it has moved from south east asia to africa, east africa, southern africa. these are countries with weak health systems as we saw observe break havoc inebola wreak havoc

in these areas that have weak health systems. it's very concerning that we could see a rapid spread. >> a threat in those countries but what about in the united states? >> in the united states our major risk for typhoid fever is traveling to a developing country. we recommend that people see their physicians before traveling to these countries. they can receive a vaccine. unfortunately, they're not routinely available in the developing world. they're not cheap and the prices really need to be brought down significantly to be incorporated in routine vaccination programs. >> i want to read another story to you. the fda propose rules that would roll back a lifetime ban of blood donation of gay men. the proposal would prohibit men

of giving blood if they've had sex with another man in the last year. critics say that proper screening can eliminate any risk. what is your reaction to that new idea, that new plan? >> well, it's a move in the right direction but frankly the new rule is overly conservative. current hiv tests can detect infection nine days after infection. a full year of waiting doesn't make a lot of sense. if we polished abolished the ban we would have twice the donations that we have otherwise. and allowing gay does not peril our blood. >> is this a political move by the fda? i don't usually ask you about politics. >> well, i guess it's one of these abundance of caution approaches. like we saw in the ebola epidemic we heard the phrase

caution of abundance of caution. >> a man may walk free. why john hinckley jr. should be released from the hospital. >> how far away are we from a grocery store? >> the challenge of eating healthy in the navajo nation and what tribal leaders are doing about it.

>> hi, everyone, this is al jazeera america. i'm john seigenthaler. in march of 1981, john hinckley jr. shot ronald reagan. today he was back in court. his attorney asking to set hinckley free.

now his attorney says that hinckley is ready to rejoin society. erica pitscy is here with that story. >> his defense team said that hinckley is horrified by what he did and has profound regrets. he said he no longer suffers from the disorder that led him to try to kill the president. so he should be released from the mental hospital where he spent most of his life. the judge seems to agree and turning the debate of what restrictions hinckley should be under. >> 34 years after he tried to assassinate the president of the united states, john hinckley jr. is on the verge of going free. with the backing of the mental hospital in washington where he spent most of his life his defense attorney said that psychosis that drove hinckley to shoot president ronald reagan and two law enforcement officers is now in full stable sustained

remission. when tried in court he was found not guilty by reason of insanity and was sent to st. elizabeth hospital for treatment. in a court hearing on tuesday whether hinckley should leave the mental institution for good, his defense attorney told the judge that every witness agrees that he's ready and everyone agrees that the risk of danger is decidedly low and his workers at st. elizabeth agrees. >> i have no fear. he never did anything out of the way, anything abnormal. he was just always a kind, sweet, gentle soul. >> the truth is hinckley has experienced being a free man for almost a decade. the same judge allowed short visits with his family. he was able to spend 17 days a month at his 89-year-old mother's home. hehe the judge said i knew 12

years ago that when i opened the door a crack i knew this day would come. how could it not? for some residents where hinckley would be living with his mother, the idea that an assassin is living in their area does not sit well. >> the things in his mind that drove him to do what he did someone canno one can convince me that those things are no longer interest. >> the hospital's attitude is that we'll deal with it when it happens. that your honor, is not good enough. hinckley's lawyer said that we have nothing to fear but fear itself federal prosecutors say that hinckley will always suffer from a personality disorder, which is why they want him to have satellite monitoring devices on his ankle car.

the judge could rule in a matter of days or six months. >> president reagan's family has spoken out on this in the past. >> the former first lady has not commented publicly yet but their daughter patty davis has said in interviews with the past month that really this makes no sense whatsoever to her. >> erica, thank you. debra gold assistant director of the dc prisoners rights project. she advocates for better treatment of prisoners including those with mental illness. debra what is your reaction? should john hinckley be released? >> i don't have any special knowledge, john, but we have to depend on what the doctors who know him best have said. that he's regained his sanity, and there is no need to keep him locked up any longer. >> what if the doctors are wrong? >> that is always a possibility but that's not the standard that the law sets forth.

we don't live in a world where everyone is incarcerateed that he won't do anything wrong. but these doctors know him better than anybody else at this point. >> as you know john hinckley jr. was committed to a hospital, not a prison. those are special circumstances. why aren't more mentally ill prisoners afforded this sort of luxury? >> well, immediately after the trial of mr. hinckley, there was a backlash against not guilty by reason of insanity verdict. most jurisdiction either completely removed the possibility of not guilty by reason of insanity or strongly reduce the possibility of that happening. >> we saw that combined with the

war on drugs and get tough on crime movement, and many, many people with mental illness have now been swept in the prison and jail system. >> what reforms need to be made? >> we can't treat mental illness by punishing people. we need to move forward with respect, and we need to acknowledge that people deserve treatment and safety freedom from abuse. >> inmates beaten and burned, sprayed with chemicals, and in some cases death. this comes from human rights watch that say that mentally ill

inmates are routinely abused across the u.s. last year in california there were orders to make changes. jennifer london is in los angeles with that story. >> al jazeera has been following the treatment of mentally ill inmates in california for the past year and a half. we'll take you inside the prison's largest prison system and show you how those inmates are being treated. be warned that some of the images may be difficult to watch. >> they call this a forcible extraction. inmate a as this mentally ill inmate is called refuses medication. he screams repeatedly after being doused with epidemicker spray. and this is inmate i.

he, too, refused medication. this is joey durant, a mentally ill inmate doused with pepper spray for allegedly disobeying orders. hours later he was found dead in his jail. >> we thought he was safe in jail then we found out it was not so safe after all. >> who do you think is responsible for joey's death? >> i believe the guards and the warden and everybody there. i blame the system. >> what happened to joey durant and others inmates is the center of a class action lawsuit brought against california's department of corrections. >> they were using force and excessive amounts of pepper sprays to force these men to cuff up. there are too many mentally ill people held too long.

>> confinety and excessive force violated inmates civil rights but in some cases made the illness worse. citing horrific videos, the judge ruled the treatment of mentally ill inmates was unconstitutional and ordered the department of corrections to revise its policies and procedures. including limiting the use of pepper spray and voluntary solitary confinement. >> if someone is in segregation for no fault of their own you no longer have a right to keep them in segregation. >> they've been making decisions on how to handle inmates. but they said the use of force is sometimes necessary. >> a mentally ill inmate may turn violent and in situations like that, custody staff are

allowed to escalate to the point of using pepper spray. no use of force is not an option. sometimes, unfortunately it has to happen for everyone's well-being. >> the jails and prisons were not designed to handle people with mental illness. >> terry coopers is a psychiatrist, and an expert on mentally ill inmates. the guards tend to use excessive force against people with mental illness, and the reason is that that's what officers are trained to do when someone misbehaves. they're not trained in the nuances of mental illness. they're there to punish and that's what they do. >> they should not be in prison in the first place. they don't know how to handle it in prison. they should be put in a mental hospital or something where they can be watched and taken care of properly with people who are qualified. >> steve and elaine know it's too late for their son but they

know that joey didn't die in vain. >> i think joey' death made a big impact in the judge's ruling. >> they take comfort knowing that joey lives on in these worn out snapshots and the pages of california's landmark ruling. >> their son's body watts cremated before they were ever told that he had even died. they wondered out loud to me maybe his body watts cremated because there was a cover up. the department of corrections did not have a response to that when we asked them about that. >> what will l.a. county jails. what is their treatment like for mentally ill inmates there? >> last year the department of justice ruled that the treatment of mentally ill inmates in l.a. county jail was also unconstitutional, and in this report it cited inadequate healthcare treatment and poor conditions inside the jail.

>> jennifer, thank you very much. i want to go back to deborah golden give me your reaction to this report. >> it's horrifying and horrifyingly familiar. it reminds me of so many of the stories we hear from systems from around the country. >> how do you fix it? >> i think the pendulum has to swing back as we discuss for decades, we tried to punish the mental illness out of people by putting them in jails and prisons, hoping to punish them enough that they won't have an illness any more, and it doesn't work any more for mental illness that it would work for cancer or diabetes. we have to treat people's illnesses and treat them humanely, and understand that we have to create systems that can deal with that. >> but aren't there just some people who need to be locked up whether it's in a prison or a

mental hospital? >> there probably are and with that we have to have strong leadership. none of these abuses happen in a system by itself or by rogue guards. what we see are systems that have created a strong culture of treating all symptoms of mental illness as some sort of willful defiance and we need strong leadership from the top to change that culture. >> deborah, it's good to have you on the program again. thank you for joining us tonight. >> thanks. >> the navajos make up the largest native american nation in the history. it'su.s. it's history is vast and beautiful. they now have a new tax on junk food. >> as you can see over there is

where the sheep and cattle are. >> eric's extended family and grandmother live on a remote wind-swept corner of the nation where access to nutritious food is a constant challenge. >> how far are we from a grocery store? >> we're an hour and a half from a grocery store. >> here is the fridge. as you can see and in here we have juice, you see they only have a little bit of stuff. and i don't see any fruit at all. no fruits. >> the navajo nation is the size of west virginia, but there are just ten full service grocery stores on the nation. ten grocery stores for 200,000 people. fast-food restaurants and convenient stores filled the vacuum inside. 80 % of the food sold on the navajo nation is unhealthy.

and that has created a dire situation. according to the american diabetes association one-third of the navajo adults are diabetes or pre-diabetic. on the long bone-shaking drive to his family's ranch, his family's health has suffered as a result of poor diet. >> some people are diabetic in our family. on my father's side and my mom's side. >> decemberdesperate for a solution the navajo nation has started it's first tax on junk food. >> almost none of the food here is fresh. if you want fresh fruits or vegetables, you need to drive 50 miles that way to the nearest grocery store. proceeds from the tax will be used to fund health awareness programs like. >> to start educating people.

we. >> danny simpson was the law's primary sponsor. >> we have to start looking at ourselves health ways, and for myself i have to do that. back in january of 2015 i weighed 235. today as we're speaking i way 192. our people-- >> the tax is 2% with 43% of people living below the federal poverty line, they did not want to pose hardship on already cash-strapped families. community activists denise livingston helped to draft the bill. >> our young people think that unhealthy foods is their source of nutrition. they think candy chips soda is our lunch or breakfast. these children saw fresh fruits

and vegetables for the first time. they were more curious about that table than about zumba. >> it's more of the marketing that was being imposed on our people. in giant can bees saying corn in a can is better. >> russell begay said that the government policy is in part to blame. the navajo raise much of their own meat, but concerns of over grazing caused them to cut cattle by half. >> people could sustain themselves by farming before. you grew everything. you have livestock for meat and so forth. but then you start to change over to everything being preserved. i tell people, you know, we grew up on organic products. no insect sides no pesticide no--none of that was used.

it was--everything was just natural. >> was the food healthier back then? >> back at his family's ranch he asks his grandmother how diet has changed since she was a girl. >> she said that the navajo diet was healthy generations ago because navajo used to eat corn, melons and other food grown on the farm. but she injected her own realism there is no going back to the new ways. >> still ahead on this broadcast, big problems for one of the busiest bridges in the west. reports of flooding and corrosion in san francisco's bay bridge and what crews plan to do about it. >> new york city was the birthplace of hip-hop. >> pictures of a revolution, photographs that captured the early days of hip-hop.

>> protestors are gathering... >> there's an air of tension right now... >> the crowd chanting for democracy... >> this is another significant development... >> we have an exclusive story tonight, and we go live... >> an important story about the fight begins ebola in west africa. a man who went to fight ebola caught ebola and recovered. he had a terrible surprise. >> he had blue eyes until the ebola virus which had already nearly killed him a couple of months before turned his left eye green. he suffered from a variety of

post-ebola symptoms. but before he recovered the disease took a heavy toll. >> within the first week of my illness i developed organ failure. in my sense my plain failed. and the emery team really gave me a level of critical care that had not been provided successfully to any other survivor prior to that. they changed the game. in one sense they were walking on the moon, i think so in what we've seen in my eye may well reflect the fact that i should have died at that time and i've survived, and we're seeing some things pop up in me that are not typical of most ebola patients. >> coming up in the next hour we'll talk about his experience with the disease and the shocking discovery he made. >> he looks good. >> he still has issues. he said if i get distracted during the interview just know

it's the ebola. >> thanks. a big business deal in the tech world, verizon is watching miracle online for $4.4 billion. aol is no longer an internet service provider, but it does own a number of website including the huffington post. it bears one of the leading mobile providers with one of the leading internet providings. >> 2 under this news about the bay bridge it's important to understand how it works. you see the big 525-foot tour. that's key. the cable that comes up to the very top and then comes down the other side wraps around underneath. that's what makes this a self-suspending bridge. the real concern with a tower like this is make sugar that in

a seismically active bay area it's not going to fall over in an earthquake. there are 424 tension-steel rods that keep it from jumping up and down in an earthquake. one of those rods may have come loose. it may be sort of being eaten away by water. workers recently pulled on one of the rods as a test and discovered that it moved. it's not supposed to move at all. so the panel that oversees this bridge calls that a game changer and they'll investigate the problem. it will cost $1 million just to pull out that rod. again, this is one of 420 rods that hold it in place. so that right there is a major concern. they're going to figure outdo they need to replace the rod do a work around, what's that going to entail. now this is really--the stakes could not be higher here in san francisco because this 6.4 billion bridge that we

placed the old bay bridge for seismic reasons is it's whole purpose is to survive an assess mick pressure. it is a lifeline to the bay area. so the question here what kind of concerns should we have about the stability of this bridge, and really will it survive an earthquake? which again is it's whole purpose for existence. >> that's jake word from san francisco. new york city is recorded the birthplace of hip-hop now a new exhibition shows its formative years showing how it went from back street to main street. it's the subject of tonight's first person report. [music] >> my name is shawn, i'm the curator of princeton photographs in new york. [music] hip-hop revolution is an exhibition that features three photographer who is documented

the early days of hip-hop culture in new york city. the exhibition ranges from about 1977 through 1990. new york city was the birthplace of hip-hop. you see hip-hop as a grassroots movement in the bronx in the late 1970s as emcees and and deejays were performing in high school gymnasiums and small june june venues. we see performances in parks and rec centers of new york city. as things progressed, and in pictures in the later '80s, they're more polished, finished pictures of the musicians as they are having their images made for maybe record labels.

those photographs are a bit more about the projection of the style or attitude of an emerging hip-hop industry. you see everyone from salt sand peppa to the beasty boys to african batta or cool herk. the originators. we're hoping that people will take away a sense of the dynamic creativeness of new york in the '70s and '80s, and how this phenomenon that started on the streets of new york grew and spread throughout the world. >> the hip-hop revolution exhibition can be seen until september. that's for watching. i'm john seigenthaler.

the news continues next with antonio mora.

>> >> rescue operation gone wrong. u.s. marines helping rescue efforts in nepal go missing as another powerful earthquake rocks the region bringing death, damage and destruction. the ties that bip. >> we see what happens when russia and the united states work together secretary of state john kerry meets with russia's president vladimir putin, calling for cooperation in many of the
