>> i'm john siegenthaler. cyber crime wave. attacks from china targeting the u.s. government. why hackers are collecting the personal data of millions of americans. on the border, more resources more law enforcement for immigration. but one year later a remote texas county is still in crisis. louisiana schools the battle over education equality and children's safety, how a bill banning schools on toxic

waste sites got killed. a beautiful new york landmark. what began as a cyber attack has now become a diplomatic showdown. u.s. officials say chinese hackers accessed the files of millions of federal employees. beijing dissents involvement. washington says there's no doubt the attack came from china. the question is whether the government ordered it. mike viqueria is in d.c. mike. >> good evening john, there have been high profile attacks before, to the u.s. government and major industries but the sheer number of people exposed and the kind of exposure could make this a game changer. the day after the breach was

revealed, the question is who did it. multiple reports say china and while the white house isn't admitting it in public it isn't refuting it either. >> the president has in every single meeting he's conducted with the chinese president raised china's conduct in cyber space. >> the office of personnel management is the human resource department for the federal government handling everything from resumes to performance ratings to back ground information for sensitive posts two breaches last year exposed information from 75,000 workers to outside. opm's top i.t. officers donna

seeseymour warned. >> these attacks will not stop if anything they will increase. >> reporter: but around the time seymour testified the latest much more massive breach was discovered. officials say they believe the attack began in december. it's the latest in a series of high profile hacks. insurance giant anthem was breached early this year. reports say china was behind it. last year the u.s. accused members of the chinese military of hack and cyber-espionage against other american businesses. russia is blamed on an attack on the white house last year and this year, why do hackers do it? >> it's valuable for the government for nation states, for intelligence communities. it's valuable in identifying who might be on the other side,

spice for us who could be compromised through blackmail or extortion, who would be vulnerable to that, who would be vulnerable to being recruited. >> in recent years officials have repeatedly warned to a potential cyber pearl harbor. responding to questions whether china is responsible an focial official scoffed. hoping the government can keep up with an ever be moving be technology. >> to make sure our offensive measures that are intended to prevent these kinds of intrusions reflect that ever evolving risk. fest. >> reporter: and john, there have been a series of wearnlings thatwarningsthat this sort of thing could happen gao the government's

investigative arm pointed that out, and the identity of personal identifiable information to hackers. john. >> thank you mike. some encouraging information, the be new report showing 280 000 jobs were added last month more than economists predicted and the economy could be picking up steam. patricia sabga reports. >> a labor market gaining momentum. the u.s. economy added 280,000 jobs in may a stronger showing than economists expected that pulled this month's average back over the unemployment part. the be unemployment rate ticked up to 5.8%, for the right reasons, those who are actively looking for jobs hit a

four-month high. the construction sector continued to strengthen, adding 17,000 new jobs last month while areleisure and hospitality ticked up. mining continued to disappoint due to lower oil prices spurring oil cuts among u.s. shale oil producers. but one of the biggest upside surprises in this report, average hourly earnings posted their strongest gain in two years jumping 8 cents to $24.96. that's a 2.3% gairn gain ore last year. shy of what fed chair janet yellen would like to see but definitely headed in the right direction. patricia sabga, al jazeera. >> andrew in san francisco

there was an uptick in wages but not much. so is that a positive sign? from i think everybody has been waiting for the other shoe to drop on wage growth. it's been one of the weaker points in economy. we haven't seen the gains that we traditionally see at the end of recessions. so a glass door we have seen, a 2.3% year-over-year gain on wages from this report is quite encouraging and there is no denying, the trend is on its way up. >> 6.3 million people are working part time and they want a full time job. what is it going to take for those numbers? >> we are six years into an expansion right now. you have to ask yourself, if these discouraged and part time for reasons workers aren't getting back into the job market

when job openings are at record levels or near record levels, you have to ask yourself, when is that going to happen? the best time for those people to get back in and we have seen -- >> are they unemployable? >> i don't think they're unemployable. we have seen the number of on line workers drifting down. it absolutely has been drifting down. >> it is a lot of people. >> it absolutely is a lot of people but you have to make a distinction between people who are out of labor force for voluntary reasons and people who are out because they can't possibly find work. with record numbers of job openings especially many positions in things lie retail like retail and leisure and hospitality many of these are low paying jobs and the thing preventing them from taking jobs are inability to move to areas where jobs are.

>> years later will we see interest rates rise? >> the longer the fed holds interest rates near zero, the more problems they create. 4 or 5% for the key federal funds rate, it's been at zero percent for years now and i think if we don't normalize it back to 2 or 3%, the next time we fall into a recession there will be a risk because we don't have monetary policy as a reason for stimulus. >> thank you andrew. the u.s. border patrol says it is better equipped and prepared for a surge of migrants this year. brooks texas the county there is now in crisis. heidi zhou-castro reports. >> reporter: it is the start of summer in brooks county, texas, beneath the sun three young men are following a direction they believe is north

they keep their distance from the road, but when they see us pull over, a need draws them to us they beg us for be water. he says he's 20 and from mexico. they started as a group of 12 he says but were separated when everyone fled at the border patrol. they paid to guide them these three are [ spanish [ n >> i ask him how they're surviving, he says with a little water and beef jerky they eat and drink as little as they can. >> do we have any more water? >> i don't think so. >> reporter: without water and still another 18 miles ahead of them these three risk becoming part of a dire statistic. this year, brooks county sheriff's office has recovered 27 bodies, two more than when we

were here last year. despite border patrol's report of a 30% drop in apprehensions the desperation continues. this morning a deputy chased a suspected human smuggler across this field. the smuggler was driving a horse trailer. >> we're assuming maybe even anywhere from 40 to 60 illegal aliens inside the horse trailer. >> the guy came right across the field? >> right across the field. imagine going in the back of the horse trailer going 40 miles an hour taking that drop, you got to be tossed around in the back of it. >> the trailer got away but many other vehicles don't. the sheriff's impound lot overflows with them. with police often their tail, the driver and ten passengers jumped out of this car.

the deputies thought everybody had jumped out into the brush. >> i jokingly said, hey you win some you lose some, maybe next time. and then we heard someone knocking back. inside the trunk there was two male individuals still in the vehicle. >> so the smuggler just left them here without a second thought. >> left them without a second thought. >> reporter: the deputy said those immigrants were lucky to be rescued. many more lost in the desert are not found in time. this border patrol checkpoint is a big reason why. this highway is the only artery north out of the border region in the rio grande valley and to get any further north you have to have papers to get past the checkpoint. that's judge human smugglers will drop the immigrants just past this point and force them

to walk through this brush. they walk through this for two to three days so make a wide circle around this checkpoint ending up on the other side. >> they, wherever they find them a mud puddle, a cow trough water that's safe. >> it's the dilemma the immigrants face here. give up, wait another day or walk towards an uncertain future these immigrants say they will press on. asked if they're scared of getting sick or dying. they say no. then they politely excuse themselves to continue their walk. so john, the question is, if this crisis along the border is diminishing as some claim then why are there more people being found in the texas desert? the brooks county sheriff's department says they actually

have a theory, as there are more border patrol booths on the ground immigrants are taking greater risk to avoid them so walking further in lesser known routes and die in the process. john. >> heidi what are officials doing to prevent a similar overflow of immigrants? >> reporter: right last summer when we were back in brooks counties that was the mix of the perfect storm. they had a very bad economy county salaries were being cut. the economy is doing better this year and they plan on hiring more deputies. they hope that will be helpful they are counting on state troopers staying along the border and that will help fewer filtering through and dying in their county. >> so the situation will be better this summer? >> they are not that optimistic john. the traffic always picks up during the summer months and at

the same time, the heat descends and gets more than 100° during the peak of the day so they are still bracing for more tragedies. >> heidi zhou-castro, thank you. we learn that eight of the 12 men who were being convicted in the be mallam mal malala yousefsi's case were actually released years ago. ta rfertioniktarik aziz be.

>> corruption accusations are mounting against soccer's world governing body. today egypt said it refused to pay a $7 million bribe to ex-fifa president jack warner. he has taken center stage in the scandal. jonathan betz reports from trinidad in tobago. >> sir, what do you know against

blatter? what do you have against him? >> nothing nothing. >> reporter: jack warner refusing to answer now. one of famous politicians also win of 14 indicted in world soccer's corruption soccer. he's still a member of parliament here, avoiding us. >> sir this is parliament. be. >> authorities say he showed no respect for the law collecting millions in bribes in exchange for world cup votes. yet he is still widely supported at home, credited for help build trinidad soccer be now he's on the defensive defending himself. >> for those persons who destroy this country's hard won image. >> and threatening to bring down

more people. even influencing trinidad's influence in 2010. the prime minister has denied any wrongdoing saying as warner falls he's dragging down whoever he can. >> do not take down this country to whatever place you may be going to. >> jetblue, al jazeera port of spain, trinidad, tobago. >> made it to an air base in south korea a korean officer tested positive and remains in quarantine. officials say there are no other diagnosed cases on that base. south korea is in the middle of the largest mers outbreak ever found outside of saudi arabia. four deaths confirmed and many south koreans saying the government is not doing enough. harry fawcett has more.

>> after days of online rumors and calls for more transparency, south korea at last revealed one of the hospitals involved in the outbreak the st. mary's hospital south of seoul the virus spread unprecedentedly quickly here, perhaps it was transmitted through staff or in air conditioning. what's not yet known is whether the virus has mutated into a more infectious version. >> translator: this hospital has recorded a particularly large number of people infected as compared to other individuals. therefore we decided to release the name to trace all the people in the hospital. >> reporter: in the now the information has been the source of crowd sourcing, pinpointing places where infected people were treated. more than a thousand schools

suspended classes educational officials say they will close another 166 schools south of seoul unless the situation improved on monday. >> this weekend will be critical the incubation period for primary and secondary patients ends this weekend. if there is no further infection we can say we have stemmed the tide but we will have to be prepare for tertiary infections. >> late last night concerns were heightened, when be seoul's mayor said a doctor infected had been in contact with hundreds of people. a day before developing mild symptoms he twoabt went to two medical sell pose yums.

symposiums. seoul city government says alt the people need to be -- all the he people need to be quarantined. more than 7,000 would be foreign visitors canceling their trips. >> translator: there's been a big drop in the number of tourists coming in. this would hit more than 50% of my business, if this continues i might have to consider shutting down. >> for most, life goes on as normal but this disease is playing on the mind. mask sales have gone up seven fold in a week. after a self admittedly slow start the government has caught up enough to slow and stop the spread of mers. harry fawcett, al jazeera seoul. >> coming up. the fight in louisiana where it's still okay to build public schools on toxic waste dumps. and change in plans fricke

museum falls apart after heated opposition. opposition.

>> hi everyone, this is al jazeera america. i'm john siegenthaler. toxic threat, the battle in louisiana over building schools on former dump sites and why a bill to ban it died in the state senate. stamp of disapproval linked to heart disease and increased risk of death. the fda could soon draw the plug on transfats. a bill for preservationists, as a landmark new york city museum changes course. >> an my conversation with bare naked ladies singer ed robertson. a big set back in louisiana for those who want to keep schools off toxic land. the state senate education committee effectively killed a

bill that would have banned building new schools on former waste sites. jonathan martin is in new orleans. jonathan. >> good evening john, lawmakers felt this bill had good good intentions but it was just too broad. in places where they feel remediation could be a good thing. ruined by hurricane katrina the old booker t. washington site in new orleans is at the center of a fierce debate. before it was built in the '40s the site for a decade had been used as a giant city dump. tests show the soil is still highly toxic with lead, mercury and other poisons. jim murphy was all but certain that legislators would support

the bill, after new orleans school district announced removing some soils and replacing them. the bill died in senate committee. >> i'm a little bit concerned about a person who ask not support legislation that will prevent building a school on a toxic waste dump. >> the school district's plan involves removing the top three feet of contaminated soil, then putting down a barrier and putting down six feet of clean soil. >> you tell me you're moving three feet of it, you're not eliminating the problem you're reducing the problem. >> while another location has been identified, others have been fighting to rebuild the school at its old site and the legacies i.s. of the

neighborhood isleg legacy of the area is in that location. >> i have 14 grandchildren i have no reservations them attending the school, none whatsoever. >> with the bill defeated, louisiana remains one of 20 states that has no legislation to stop the building of schools on landfills or contaminated sites. we asked the representative of the school district to comment but they did not return our calls. despite the bill failing in the state senate subcommittee, he plans to make tweets tweets and hopefully reintroduce it at another time. john. >> effectively banning transfats in thetransfats, the risk of heart

disease and heart attacks are well-known. it is a battle one scientist has been waging for nearly 60 years. lisa stark has the story. >> reporter: for nearly six decades on this midwest college campus on cham champaign illinois, fred kumero, will mark his 101th birthday in october. >> you can run your fingers over it and you can see the plaque there. >> in cumero's lab he still stores some of the arteries he has stored over the years. his work on heart disease began in the 195050s after he asked a local hospital to send him samples of patients who died from heart attacks. >> they gave me the samples tissue samples of people who had died of heart disease.

>> what did you find? >> i found transfat, in tissue, various tissue, that is what we published. >> his findings were published in the medical adjourn science in 1957. artificial transfat is created by adding hydrogen to vegetable oil, to make it more stable, that improves the food's shelf life. microwave popcorn cook cookies and cake frosting. he did not know how or if transfat affected the body. >> i just had instinct that this was not a good fat. this was not a right fat. >> reporter: so the research continued while the use of transfats grew. >> miracle margarine the lightest tastiest margin you could buy.

>> kumerow fed margarine with transfats to picks their arteries plugged up. >> i figured it was not good for heart disease. >> that's when kumerow's fight began in earnest. >> i wanted the industry to lower transfat to zero. they wouldn't do it. because they liked the consistency of this transfat. it made a nice, smooth fat. >> it was a big fight? >> oh, yes imagine how big a fight it was. >> reporter: that was in 1968. food companies did agree then to reduce transfat levels somewhat. but americans were still eating plenty of it. one study estimated at its peak, transfat was causing some 50,000 deaths a year. other scientists and food safety groups were starting to weigh in and in 2006, under pressure, the fda began requiring food labels to list transfats.

with the public growing worried food companies from mcdonald's to nba nabs nah nabisco fought back. kumero asked the fda to ban transfat from the american diet. the fda wrote back saying, your petition is currently under active evaluation. then silence for three years. finally in 2014 at 2013, at the request of a lawyer, kumero sued the fda. beginning his fight against transfat, an industry that didn't want to change its practices and federal regulators who didn't respond to his

petition asking them to ban transfat the food industry says it has voluntarily lowered the amount of transfats in foods by over 70% and product safety is its first priority. but the fda finely has made a preliminary findings, that transfats in processed foods are, quote not generally recognized as safe. how are you going to feel when the fda bans transfat? >> well, i'll feel that science has come out on top. >> reporter: and after all these years so has dr. fred kumerow. lisa stark, al jazeera champaign, illinois. >> a professor at nyu medical center, welcome back doctor. >> nice to see you.

>> transfats -- >> there are transfats that are naturally found in animals and the ones we're talking about is administered ever transfats. 20% of the deaths related to heart disease we have each year could be prevented just by eliminating transfats. >> so there's a huge potential risk there. >> exactly. >> and what about the labeling that we see on food right now? does it accurately tell us whether there's transfat in the food? >> not necessarily. you can see things that sometimes say transfat free because what they're doing is they're estimating. so illegalities say if you have a number 0.4 anything less than 0.5 grams you can estimate it down. things can say they're fat free or transfat free that may not exactly be the case. even if a little harm, little here little there it can really add up. >> so we don't know. when we go to the food store and

we see these labels no transfat, not necessarily true. >> not necessarily true. how many people have the time to really read through all these labels and figure this out? >> do you talk to your patients about this? >> sometimes. but to be fair you know it's a little bit difficult. because there are so many things they have to worry about in terms of nutrition obesity and then this, even though it's been going on for a long time it doesn't necessarily get all the attention it deserves. i'm glad that the fda has made this move but transfat is in most of people's snacks, cookies and cakes. that's hard. >> what will it mean for our health if this is eliminated? >> it should be good for our health something so dangerous but at the same time, what are food manufacturers going to replace these transfats with? >> if you look at the history the people that came up with this process they won the nobel

prize for it. they thought they were making food safer and we don't have the refrigeration as we do now. >> if it could be just natural right? >> exactly. >> thank you for being with us today. clean air act imposing tougher eapplication standards but critics say they would come with a big price tag. john terret is in washington. john. >> yes, good evening to you john. the obama administration has done this so far to the auto makers, to truckers, even to power stations and now they're about to do it to the airline industry as well, telling them the pollution to their jet engines is a hazard to human health. once that announcement has come down we expenditure it next week you bet your bottom dlor

dollar the regulations for greenhouse gases won't be far away. just across the river at the white house with where you get a bird's eye view of the planes, president obama is concerned about what's spewing from the jet engines the epa is expected to say those fumes will be endangering human health. the clean air act of 1970 requires the feds to regulate pollutants that endanger human health. they've done it with cars and trucks and power stations. now they're turning their attention to aircraft. it would lead to much tighter emissions regulations ahead. the aviation industry says it knows it's a polluter, welcomes the legislation and doing allot

to kill emissions. >> automobiles are 25% of the emissions, air craft are 2%. we're not saying that's nothing but we're working on the issue and this is another arrow in the quiver to address that. >> reporter: in fact according to the epa american planes are responsible for 11% in the transportation sector. 3% of all the greenhouse gas emissions and 29% of all greenhouse gas eapplications worldwide. the airline industry accounts for 5% gdp be but environmentalists say it is the only sector that goes unregulated when it comes to emissions. >> this is the only largely unregulated sector. greenhouse gases are a threat to our planet and they should be

reduced and epa is only announcing its intent to reduce emissions. they're not telling the industry yet what it has to do. >> be so it's a prod. >> it's a prod. it's not even prod. it's a promise to prod. >> with new emissions standards come new technical challenges. it's fresh thinking on pollution in aviation, too. i love that phrase, it's not even a prod, it's a promise to prod. in other words the aviation industry is going to be put on notice sometime next week by the obama administration that they are going to have to tighten their act when it comes to emissions from jet engines plane makers as well. however the truckers who were put on notice some time ago by the obama administration will be put on notice how much they will have to cut their emissions by, sometime next week or the week after. >> all right john thank you. fifa is embroid embroiled are

in scandal but now there's a new film out. antonio mora has the story. >> positive propaganda vehicle including the rise of fifa's embattled president sepp blatter. a very embarrassing week for the organization. >> it happens to be coming out in theaters, the very same week sepp blatter played by tim ross has just retired in a storm of controversy and many of the top leading guys from fifa are being taken out in handcuffs from their hotels in switzerland. the timing couldn'ting better to laugh at this movie. >> and laughing is exactly what movie goers are going to be

doing. in the next hour we'll be covering this. >> thank you antonio. in a place where all things are changeable, this will stay the same. in the end the fricke museum decided against the development. randall pinkston has more. >> how do you respond to all of the critics that are accusing you are destroying a beautiful work by an english landscape architect? >> a lot of people just don't have the records straight and so i get the facts. i'm happy to have the opportunity to talk about the history. >> that's what he told al jazeera last winter. as executive director of the fricke museum he was on a mission to oversee what he said was a necessary third renovation to the complex. >> we have spatial needs we need to address in order to continue to provide as beautiful an experience to our public as we wish.

>> built in 1914 by healthy industrialist henry k. fricke it opened in 1945 as a museum to showcase fricke's collections renoir holbine. >> highest level of quality that one person would have liked. >> the proposed expansion would have extended the existing museum from this to this. >> what we need is more facilities mostly back of the house because our audience has been growing larger and larger. we need more space for education and classrooms. no dedicated rooms for that. >> but preservationists and critics like andrew docart opposed changing the building profile. >> seeing art the way it was meant to be seen in the past. it wasn't meant to the metropolitan museum of art or

the louvre. >> what have destroyed the fricke's most famous features. >> they have this magnificent tranquil garden. >> the russell paige -- >> russell paige garden. this is his only work in new york. >> in the end the critics won. on its website the fricke announced a change of heart. after months of public dialogue and weighing the potential for a protracted approval process the board of trustees has decided to approach the expansion plan in a way that avoids building on the garden site. >> the major edition was made in 1934-35. >> a revised expansion will be proposed to preserve the character of the fricke and protect its famous garden. randall pinkston, al jazeera

allen schauffler reports. >> belly up and full of water in plain sight of the sea lions it was supposed to scare away. a sad scene to create a motorized orca, from bellingham washington to oregon. >> the trial didn't go too well, what can i say? it was a very poor sea trial. >> based on his 50-plus years watching orcas and sea lions in the wild, buzzard came up with the idea to use the faux orca. it launched just before sunset in a circus atmosphere. more than 300 people were drawn to the pier for a look at the 32 foot long converted fiberglass and plywood parade float.

there was one brave soul on board. >> i'm the skipper in the whale. hopefully it was going to do a little better than it did but that's the way it is. >> with john at the controls the orca fully licensed as a vessel cruised out of the marina under its own power and that's when disaster hit. the skipper had to be rescued. after the wave tipped the orca, the whole thing flipped. >> flipping a fiberglass orca, no big deal? >> not really. >> there was a little bit of hope. >> i was hoping it would scare the sea lions and they were going to freak out. >> we observed several sea lions, they swam around the end of the breakwater and out into open sea so it's not a complete

fail. >> salvage operation: nobody's getting paid. >> long friends good friends possibly some of them not too smart. as the rest of us are you know, you can't be real brilliant to attempt something like this to begin with. hey, you're here watching so i'm a little worried about you too. >> others are watching as well. the sea lion-fake orca faceoff still an attraction. >> you had to see the orca? >> yeah, i wanted to see if it really worked getting them out of here. >> sea lions definitely. >> no whales? >> no whales. >> if port officials and ter ideasterrybuzzard have their way the fake
