management at the government that some 4 million federal employees some of the most personal information is kept on their servers and tonight the administration is scrambling to assess the impact. the o.p. m. is responsible for among other things job assignments and training for sensitive posts within the u.s. government. they do have a statement out this morning that reads in part, as a result of the incident o. p.m. will sent notifications to approximately 4 million individuals whose p.i.i., and that stands for personal identifiable information has been compromised. additional p.i.i. exposures may come to light.

to a credit protection agency for 4 million individuals potentially infected including a $1 million policy and tonight the fbi says it is joining the investigation. >> what is the level of concern in the government? it is very high. just this week we had of a breach at the internal revenue service the secretary of defense trying to beef up cyber security there says that russian hackers try to invade a d.o. d. network. there have also been a number of private sector attacks a target at anthem insurance as well as a myriad of other places that is congress investigative arm say there remains significant weaknesses within the government including access control, of those individuals

who have the authority to go in deeply into these computer systems and look at this very information that is something that is obviously part of this story today. want the federal government as air traffic control. >> john. >> all right john, thank you, hackers were apparently the target of a secret nsa program that expanded the surveillance of american citizens. it was intended to track suspicious internet activity. >> the documents according to the new york times show that in 2012, the justice department gave the nsa permission to begin tracking what they suspected was

malicious computer activity coming into the u.s. from abroad. the revelations come just days after they approve the freedom act. and increase transparency. among the documents leaked an n.s. a. memo describe as request for help from the fbi in it's investigation of foreign based hackers. the memo goes on to describe how using the warrant list surveillance system would be more cost efficient and avoided duplication efforts. the communications would then be forwarded to the fbi the plan supposedly executed in 2012 was not publicly disclosed. the revelation comes while concerned grows over high profile cyber attacks against american companies and individuals. >> kim john-un wants to do an interview with dave. >> north korea has been

linked to last year's tack which shut down communications and cost the entertainment giant anest military aired $15 million. the agency has been seeked less restrictions but opponented argue this could hurt ordinary americans. >> having some sort of malice code in your email might now be enough justification for the nsa to grab your email without a warrant without any due process, and that's pretty scary. >> the co director of the liberty and national security program in new york, university school of law and she is in our studio tonight. >> thank you. >> so nsa powers were expanded to include warrantless surveillance of americans international internet traffic shouldn't the freedom act have taken care of that or not. >> well, it should have, but it didn't, so basically when snowden revelation started the first thing he revealed was the telephone meta data

program, and that's what u.s.a. freedom changes that's what it tries to. >> the freedom act changes. >> the second thing that came out pretty soon after the first set was about the prison program, do you remember, where the nsa was basically looking at all of the international communications of americans that involved a foreign target. and so they were picking off lot of information about americans they have never actually told us how much information about americans but i think people thought that this was sort of the first step for reform, and that the other authorities would be something that would be done a little bit later. >> so if these other perhaps exist, what did the freedom act address. >> so, the freedom act addressed -- well, the u.s.a. freedom act addressed the phone meta data program. so this was the program under section 215 of the patriot act, which collected the phone records of all-americans.

and basically held them all in a large data base, that extended back at least seven or eight years. what does it term you the n isa is more oversight. >> what they need is more transparency, just when you think you have gotten some sense of what they are doing out comes another story which tells you about a different program, so i don't think we have a very good understanding of the full range of authorities and the types of operations. >> isn't that what secret government agencies are supposed to do. >> they are supposed to do that. >> keep a secret. >> absolutely, and there are certainly a lot of things that need to be kept secret, but as a democratic society we need to have a sunsing of the overall set of rules and the story today is about allowing this warrantless wiretapping to extend not to counter terrorism not to weapons of mass destruction but to things that are kind of useful for the government. >> how big is that?

how much information are we talking about. >> i can't tell you. >> it is huge. and i think that's sort of the critical thing we don't know the full scope and so how can you say if they have enough oversight when you don't even know what it is. >> good to see you, thank you very much. two family of a man killed tuesday by officials in boston called today for a complete and transparent investigation, he was under surveillance by federal counter terrorism ats when he was killed. he was shot after he threatened a police officer with a knife the fbi says he had talked about his plans to kill a police officer. >> now to the debate over fracking and the impact on the environment. a new preliminary report says the oil and gas extraction process does not pose a widespread or systemic threat to drinking water. the environmental protection agency looked at possible vulnerables in the fracking process, the study found some specific cases of wells

causing water pollution, but only in a small percentage of drilling. critics are seizing on the vulnerables outlined in the report, despite the preliminary findings opponented of frac willing not giving up without a fight, heidi joe castro is in dallas, heidi. >> john, the oil and gas industry certainly celebrated these results they were also pockets communities all around the country that live in and around fracking that said while the dangers may not be widespread, they certainly are real in their own backyards. toxic water he shows al jazeera jennifer london in march. >> i can see a damager pipe into an open dirt, spewing a black liquid into the ground. into this hole, now this hole is not the many middle of nowhere, it is adjacent to an

almond orchard. >> all over the california central valley, oil companies have dumped millions of gallons of waste water from fracking into hundreds of unlined pits and underground am qatar respectively firs. >> as a farmer, i know. >> we believe that any injection into the aquifers that are not exempt, has contaminated the accused question firs. >> in it into of the almost finding that fracking has not caused widespread contamination of drinking water, people who live close to fracking sites around the country. continue to express concern.

it is not just the drinking water that has people worried, three gas wells exist for every square mile of land here. gina says she believed radiation and air pollution from fracking gave her thyroid cancer two years ago. within months two neighbors developed breast cancer another leukemia, they all lived within a mile of three wells. >> there's too many onus our 30's getting cancer. too many young animals getting cancer right at the same time as these wells. >> while there's no way to prove a connection between illness and fracking anti-fracking advocates here say they are skeptical of the study ruts. john, fracking just resumed last month when the state legislature overturned a local ban that residents passed with a overwhelming referendum back in november. and it wasn't long after that oklahoma followed suit, say

cities can not ban fracking. john. >> a four-mile stretch of coast in long beach california is now closed as crews remove tar balls that washed up onshore wednesday. the coast quart has been collected samples to track down the source, and investigators want to know if this is connected to last month's oil spill. the impact of the oil spill in santa barbara could last for decades. newly released documents are raising questions about whether it could have been prevented. jennifer london is in los angeles with that story. >> john, good evening more than 100,000 gallons of crude oil spilled from that ruptured pipeline. in our story tonight we will take you to the beach where the massive clean up operation continues as state and federal regulators try and find out what caused the spill. >> the clean up from last month's oil spill along the southern california coast is

time consuming and tedious. onshore, and at sea. >> we have been given special access to be on the beach so we can see the clean up first hand and we are required to wear this safety equipment because this remains an active hazmat zone, walking along the beach you can see signs of the spill everywhere, as workers chip away oil from each and every one of these rocks. >> it is also a race to save marine life, more than 90 animals have been rescued nearly 200 have been found dead. those are low numbers. >> scientists tell us that many of the animals that will be killed by. cooing into contact with this oil sink into the sea never to be recovered. >> as excavation work at the spit sight continues newly released documents from federal regular lay ever toes

investigating the spill reveal pipeline operator plains all-american independented the pipe two weeks before it failed. the subsequent findings showed extensive external corrosion. and there's this. an environmental impact report conducted in the mid 1980's before the pipeline was built. >> if you look at this document. >> it predicts the prohibit of an oil spill. what are the predictions. >> there's a probable of an oil spill more than nine which is roughly 400 gallons. .22 spilled per year, so that equails to a 20% prohibit of an oil spill each year. and that only increases as the age of the pipeline increases plains all-american denied our request for an interview, although it is not uncommon for impact studies studies studies presidential

campaign connections this one is troubling. it is known as the gained detailed lap goes. it is hard to numerous endangers species including blue whales. to have something like this happen we took it very personally and we were have had saddened and frankly angry. >> supervisor janet wolf says she questions whether enough was done immediately after the spell was discovered we had our firefighter whose wanted to help, and there was this -- it felt like, a push back and i understand, i understand there were health and safety issues but the response it felt like the oil was coming and no one was doing inning that's how it felt. >> and there's also the question of whether the spill could have been prevented if the pipeline had an automatic

shut off valve. >> it's a risk analysis to determine whether they need valves if they need them, with to put them, in addition where to put them what kind of valved he says depending on the pipeline, it clowned the length and volume of oil automatic shut off valves can sometimes to more harm than good. >> these are another point of weakness so everywhere that a pipeline is discontinuous meaning there's a valve or something there that is another point where you can have a leak, the automatic shut down valves can cause a problem because liquid is not come pressble, there have if it shuts quickly you create a water hammer, and that can create an issue and breaking other things that would not have previously broken. >> what we doe know is oil spills happen all over california and all over the country, every year. and the only way to truly

prevent an oil spill from happening is to stop drilling for oil. >> the two california state beaches most effected by the spill remain closed for at least another two weeks as the scraping, scooping, and shoveling continues. the california attorney general said today after visiting the clean up operations that her office is considering whether or not to file criminal charges against the pipeline operator saying they will go where the evidence takes them, and also john a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of commercial fisherman in the area this also against the operator of the pipeline. saying they are worried that this disaster will impact the local economy. a gas stations explosion in the west african nation has left 96 people dead, the flooding in the capitol city swept fuel stores at the station, into a nearby house fire, sparking the blast.

executive already talking and cooperating with u.s. authorities. now comes jack warner saying he is ready to talk, and if he is to be believed he has really got the goods. >> jack warnser a former fifa executive with a flair for the dramatics. in a. rahbleing seven minute video he released wednesday entitled jack warner, the gloves are off. he vowed to reveal rampant wrongdoing at the highest level of world soccer. >> the dignity and ridicule. and have kept my mouth shut. even if this is -- i have kept quiet. fear that this day may come. i will do so no more. >> warn iranian says he feared for his life, but speaking to a group of his supporter he said even that won't stop him from spilling the beans about the biggest question of all. why fifa president sepp blatter suddenly stepped down

i also will give them my knowledge of transactions at fifa including but not limited to sepp blatter. iranian have been here for 20 consecutive heres. i said to him in 2011, it's time to step down. >> and the rev laces don't stop there he also says he can prove fifa tries to manipulate elections in his them country trinidad back in 2010. warner is one of the 14 world soccer officials dated by the united states accused of accepting more than $150 million in bribes. accused of racketeering, fraud, money laundering and bribery. warner denies those charges and called them a conspiracy confined to the u.s. because it was angry it lost the bid

agreed to cooperate with authorities and cut their own plea deals. a sign that the avalanche of secrets warner has promised to deliver may have already engulfed him and his own family. >> south african police said today they had opened an investigation into that bribe, the united states authorities have said more charges are coming they are vowing to clean up fifa and john they have clearly have their work cut out for them. >> looks like it has just started, former texas governor says he is ready to make another presidential run. perry made it official today perry a former air force pilot said president obama made a mistake when he pulled u.s. troops out of iraq, he says if elected he would boost the economy and improve homeland security. >> we have the power to make things new again. to project americas strength again, and to get our economy going again.

f. >> this is al jazeera america. >> crime fight is violence really on the rise in america's cities? now talk of a new u.s. crime wave may be off target. take viagra, boosting women's

lib bid does the new pill awaiting approval and provoking an emotional debate. lessons in loss, the facebook post that has opened a national conversation about grief, and healing. >> plus, making waves an oregon town strange new plan to scare off hundreds of uninvited guests. >> is violent crime running rampant in america's largest cities the answer depends on whom you ask, it is a highly charged issue used by politicians to police and the community. we have been hearing a lot about the violent crime but do the statistics back up the rhetoric tonight we are taking a closer look, first courtney keely has this report. in chicago, 12 homicides over the memorial day weekend. new york, 20% rise in murders from 2014. baltimore had it's most

violent month in 40 years. >> this is all hands on deck. all hands every single resource every single body, every single personnel on the streets of baltimore, three of america's biggest cities the reasons unclear. but many have ideas. the 43 killings in baltimore in may followed the death of freddie gray. which triggered peaceful protests. but also riots. the police chief put some of the blame on looting of pharmacies. >> there's enough narcotics to keep it intoxicated for a year that amount of drugs has thrown off the balance on the streets of baltimore. >> but some residents point the finger at law enforcement, arguing officers are making fewer arrests and often not present in high crime areas. chicago's gang violence is not new and many point to the flow of guns as a significant factor. one lawmaker says it is time

to charge with domestic terrorism. >> we are in a state of emergency, and certain communities in the city. we have to come up with every available tool in the kit this is one of them. they shoot babies, they shoot grandmothers and innocent people what do you call them? they are domestic terrorists. >> new york's murder rate has gone up. who is under fire for 70s for eliminating stop and frisk as a tactic for fighting crime. the policy has been denounced as racial profiling something the mayor addressed. >> going back to an unconstitutional alienating approach is not only inappropriate to the popeless it doesn't work. he says the issue is more about community policing, and what he labeled the lack of economic hope among gang members. it is worth note nag the

murder rate among the 15 largest cities is down from last year. murders have fallen by 5%, from 2015 to this year, down from 871 to 828. and although homicides are up in new york, consider that in 2014 there were 328 killings. in 1990 there were more than 2200. al jazeera. >> richard aborn is the president of the citizens crime commission a nonprofit organization focused on criminal just sis and public safety. she is washington d.c. d. tonight. one this in part of the ferguson effect, where some say there's been a slow down on the part of police. >> absolutely not the rises we have seen preceded ferguson. so we have been having. >> nothing to do with that. >> i don't think it does. >> what do you think? i can only spoke for

baltimore, i believe in baltimore it is arise of the ferguson effect, because in may there were actually a decrease in arrests and there was an increase in homicide. and what the residents are saying is there are no police on the streets so the police have gone from overpolicing to basically a work slow down and no policing at all. so it may not be a one size fits all. >> so richard if you think it is not a work slow down, what are the other reasons. >> so we get the true and honest answer is we don't know exactly no one knows exactly, we tend to see these from time to time, we have seen them before. >> big blips and this one is a sustained one. >> new york, l.a., chicago. >> a lot of cities and all preceding ferguson. so we are seeing rises in shootings the one common factor is the easy availability of guns and that's something that we need national legislation and i don't know how loudly you heard the call in congress

for national gun control but i sure missed it p let's go back to baltimore for a second how much of this is a direct result, do you think of the riots the looting the police chief suggestions that because of the looting of drugstores there is a ton of drugs on the streets and that is contributing to the violence. >> i don't think it's any one particular thing i think the overriding thing again is the police slow down, i think with the looting and what police commissioner said is that there were drugs that were taken out of these drugstores i don't think that would account for the murders and that would not account for the decrease in arrests in baltimore. so i think you have to exam every piece of the puzzle but the commissioner is also said that it is a part of gangs well there were gangs there before i think the one extra factor is there is that the police are clearly saying it is our way or no way and they are somehow creating a very very slow and subtle

work slow down so richard if police just did their jobs would the crime rate go down. >> in baltimore apparently so, new york there's not been a police slow down, arrest activity is the same as it was last year. >> there's some suggestion that no new york city, that police have not been -- that after a number of events that police in new york weren't responding the way they had before the protests in new york city. are the number of stops of people in the street. it was unconstitutional, and it was badly dividing the communities from the police. you cannot fight crime in a successful way unless you have the support of the communities. there's no better crime convention tool.

you need to bring police departments into closer contact -- >> community policing. >> where you are working with the community developing plans. >> living withthe community? >> not necessarily, but if you are working with the community, developing joint plans and resolving those together. >> debbie you believe that police officers should be very much a part of that community and live in that community, right. >> meaning if they ever lived in the community, or born in the community raised in the distribute for which they are policing or that they still live closely there they will not have such a knee jerk reaction to pulling a revolver and shooting someone that is unarmed in the community. iranian also favor police from being from the

community, knowing what it is like to be in that community. that will go a long as way. >> you talk about community policing and whether or not police are doing their job in some cities can do a better job, what else can we do -- is there something we can do to release the amount of crime. >> we need to focus on illegal guns. second we have to concentrate on youth violence. a lot of the violence occurring now is being driven by kid whose are 15 to say 19 or 20, it is revenge murders it is disrespect murders it is disputes on social media we have to target these groups in a way that come in with and where necessary enforcement. that has to have happen now. >> debbie put these number

bears into perspective, they are low now aren't they. >> we already said that many cities are seeing a drop in crime. >> exactly. so the numbers are not what they used to be, even in baltimore, it is just this one month snake in may, but overall, the city of baltimore as well as other cities they have seen a decrease. 400,000 air bags that were replaced once will have to be replaced again. contain a defective part,

they have been recalled in the united states 4 million have already been replaced. at least six deaths have been linked to the defective air bags. but the u.s. is not budging mike reports. >> and later on capitol hill, sitting down with senates john mccain and jack reed. >> his mission on a six day trip to washington to convince anyone who will listen a u.s. military a facility has to go. >> marine corps air station encircled by a city of 100,000, it is more than a

nuisance of people that live nearby, it is a danger. there have been accidents including a helicopter crash, and crime including rape. now, a long plan to move the marines to another part is being met with protests. at the new site of the bay near the camp, another u.s. airfield, they say expanding the base there would damage a fragile ecosystem mostly they want the marines off. >> the people are supporting us. that governor he campaigned against the u.s. bases and in november was elected in a landslide, more than half the 50,000 military personnel in japan are stationed here. but the island is tiny, just half a% of the entire land

mas. and they think that's not fair. >> out of all the measures the jobless rate is the highest, and average income is the lowest, but now tour similar booming and while the u.s. presence was once seen as an economic lifeline, it is now seen as a drag on growth. the government wants to base the stay, and when the governor came to washington to meet with officials and walk these halls in congress, he didn't get very far. >> in april, president obama welcomed japanese prime minister to washington. as regional tenses rise, both agree that the where renes should stay. >> after the meeting at

stake, officials release a statement, reading in part the government of the united states and japan share an unwaiverring commitment to the airfield. are you disappointed. >> what i felt from their expressions is i felt they understood that issue deeper. he see as silver lining the voices are being heard around the world. al jazeera washington. >> south korea say as doctor may have exposed more than 1,000 people to middle east respiratory syndrome. it is the largest outbreak ever found outside saudi arabia. schools have been shut down more than 1,000 people quarantined across the

country, now to a battle of the f.d.a., today a panel of medical advisors urged the agency to approve a drug to boost a woman's la bid doe. the agency has twice rejected that drug. morgan radford is here with that. >> and interesting thing is that for nearly two decades men have had the option of drugs like this those who experience sexual dysfunction. they can take any number of f, cana approved drugs but the agency is now on the verge of giving women that same option for the first time. >> we have all seen the commercials. >> talk to your doctor about viagra, 20 million men already have. >> more than 18 million men all across america deal with it more generally 31% report experiencing some form of sexual dysfunction, but for women the numbers are even higher. 43% suffer from sexual dysfunction, and that comes out to nearly 70 million

american women but unlike the multitude of options for men, viagra, seattleless the f.d.a. has so far declined to approve similar medications specifically more than two dozen have been approved for men, zero for women. but that can soon change. voted in favor of approvalling a drug nicknamed pink viagra. who suffer from hsdd. or hypoactive disorder. so what is the hold tennis well there's concerned about side effects include an increased risk of fainting. >> pretty much for every medication if there's an effect there's a side effect. that you might feel like

fainting and that can be even worse if you are drinking alcohol, so my point of view is that you aren't supposed to drink with a lot of medication. this is didn't first time it has been asked to vote. the agency approval back in 2010 but it was denined by a 10-1 vote, then the f.d.a. said there wasn't enough evidence to suggest that the drug even works. but five years later manufacturer is back. saying it is in fact ready for the market. as they make the decision, advocates hope that pink is the new blue. >> why a lot of people have been asking for the hold up is based on gender bias or based on the druggist. now it appears they don't have to ask any more, today 18 of the experts on that

panel voted toism prove the drug so long as certain risk management is taking. >> the final decision hasn't been made. >> absolutely. thank you very much. one of the most successful women is speaking about a personal strategy. facebook chief and operating officer cheryl sandberg posted a message about her grief, after her husband's accidental death her words are touching a nerve with many people. she writes i have learned to ask for help, i did not plan this and when it happened i was not capable of doing much of anything. those closest to me took over they planned they arranged they told me where to sit and they reminded me to eat. after the loss of both of her parents rebecca started the website modern loss a community for people to talk about los and grieving,

rebecca is in our studios. >> thank you for having me. >> why do you think the post touched a nerve? when you think about it, let's say how many people do you think are able to witness the average widows brief first hand? at a tunele rah maybe 50, 100 people, get to see directly the anguish that she is going through. this is a case where cheryl posted this yesterday and it has t goen something like 750,000 likes and 35,000 shares or 50,000 shares. it has been millions of people have read the deepest darkest corners of the last 30 days of her grief. that's something that is a very rare opportunity in this country. >> what does it term us. >> it tells us that death and by extension profound los, is a very messy experience. it is full of nonclosure, it

is full of anguish and screaming and anger and frustration. and it's something that is not really talked about in such a candid way. on a regular basis. >> cheryl also said real empathy is sometimes not insisting it will be okay, but acknowledging that it is not when people say to me you and your children will find happiness again, my heart tells me yes i belief that, but i knowly never feel pure joy again. those who have said you will find a new normal, but it will never be as good. comfort, me more because they know and speak the truth. >> i loss my thought there last summer, and you lost your parents and i -- you know a lot of people say a lot of things and they mean well but they sometimes hit you the wrong way especially when you are grieving. >> yes. >> what can other people do to help with the los. >> i just want to say about those people, in case they are watching it doesn't make

them bad for the most part they are perfectly wonderful human beings but they just don't know what to say because we don't want to think about the fact there's a time when we are not walking the face of the earth to return a text. >> i don't know what to say. >> i still don't know what to say sometimes you don't have to say anything. there is no right thing to say, all you have to do, at least in my opinion is acknowledge that you are present with somebody in their grief. juster acknowledge that they are going through a time that you can't understand, but yo are with them. >> we have more from cheryl that says how are you almost always asked with the best of intenses is better replaced with how are you today. and when i am asked how are you i stop myself from shouting my husband died a month ago how do you think i am. when i hear how are you today

i realize the person knows that the best i can do right now is just get through each day. and the people mean it in a bad way but they have to understand what that person is going through. >> right i think one of our tenn't thats is we promise never to say how are you and emphasize the are because that changes every single second, it changes from day-to-day. just the most important thing that can come out of cheryl's very poignant, and candid and frankly very gut wrenching but also hopeful post yesterday is that it is this huge national trigger for more meaningful and thoughtful action, surrounding how we treat people who have experienced loss. >> go ahead. >> i just think that if we are more aware of what happens behind closed doors in this women's life who seemed to have everything she

could want, look at her, she is admitting she is a total mes, but also admitting that she is choosing life, and to move forward. >> your website is called modern loss? >> thank you so much. we will be right back.
