state police say convicted murderer david sweat was shot by a state cuper and arrested in the ( -- trooper and arrested in constable, new york. two miles from the border. law enforcement officers gathered at the podium. no sign of the government. the trooper spotted sweat walking down a road around 3 o'clock, and ordered the fugitive to the ground. sweat broke into a run. that's when the trooper fired, hitting sweat. he was transported to a hospital in malone new york for treatment. sweat escaped from a prison in new york earlier this month, along with another convicted murderer, richard matt killed in a shoot-out with police. an autopsy said matt died from gunshot wounds to the head and described bug bites and abrasions consistent with living in the woods for throw weeks. just two days after the historic supreme court ruling on

same-sex marriage, gay pride celebrations were held around the world. millions gathered to march in san francisco, london and new york city. we go live to manhattan, near the ston wall in considered the birthplace of the modern gay rights movement. how does it feel down there, roxanna? >> as you can see and probably hear, the party is going strong. people are gathered on the corner. the famous stone wall where in 1969, 46 years ago tonight, riots broke out after police tried to raid what was then a popular gay bar. people have been celebrating all day... >> all right roxana we have a breaking news we'll get to. this is governor andrew cuomo speaking live from upstate new

york on the recent capture of the second escaped inmate let's listen in. >> >>..encountered and engaged mr sweat. mr sweat fled. the trooper gave chase. the trooper was unable to catch him on foot. at one point the sergeant decided to discharge his weapon hitting mr sweat twice in the torso. mr sweat went down. helped arrived and mr sweat is in a hospital in stable condition. this happened a mile and a half from the canadian border. in the town of constable. i had the chance to speak with sergeant cook and congratulate him. he was alone when this happened. he is from troop b. which is this area he knew the area well. he was still alone, it was a

courageous act. i said to sergeant cook who has two daughters - 16 and 17. i said you go home tonight and tell your daughters that you are a hero with teenage girls that'll probably last 24 hours, and you'll go back to being a regular dad, as i well know. this was app extraordinary situation in many ways. the prison at dell mora is 100 years old and is the first escape in 100 year. if you wrote a movie plot you'd say it was over done. you had hacksaws delivered with a biofacilitator in ground of up meat. you had two prisoners who were on the honour block. they hacksawed through the back of their cell. they got into the catwalks that took them into a labyrinth of

tunnels, where they came across a contractors job box, large toolbox. one of the prisoners was a burglar, picked the lot. picked it repeatedly, and used those tools to do the work of the breaking the wall cutting the pipe and chains and making way to the sewer pipe. it was an extraordinary circumstance. and the first escape in over 100 years, but one escape is one escape too many. we'll have the ongoing investigation to find out who was involved. we have two people arrested for facilitation, or accomplices in this situation. but the investigations are not over. now that we have mr sweat. it gives us the opportunity to have more questions, and provide more facts on the overall situation. anyone who we find who was culpable and guilty of

cooperating in this escape will be fully prosecuted. the das did a great job of franklin and clinton county. i want to thank them. we'll prosecute them to the full extent of the law. if anyone else was involved we'll find that. we'll conduct an investigation into the systems in that prison. and how could this happen and how did they have access to the cat walk et cetera. there are a lot of questions to be answered, and we started a full investigation that's being headed by the inspector general from the state of new york. today ends with good news these were dangerous, dangerous men, both matt and sweat. they were killers. mr matt killed at least two people. mr sweat killed a sheriff's deputy in broom county in a savage way. these were dangerous people.

they - we could not tolerate them being on the loose. the terrain was very difficult. this prison hap tones -- happens to be located in a difficult area. it was a difficult row to hoe to to spoke and was an unprecedented law enforcement coming together on every level. we had local, federal, state assets, all working together. hand in clove with gears meshing, and i want to thank the department of corrections, headed by colonel brad fort. the police headed by captain, the forest rangers and fbi which did an outstanding job. i spoke on the phone to agent vail and agent tim is with us today. we want to thank them.

the u.s. marshals the clinton county sheriff's office and da. franklin district attorney's office vermont police the governor schoeman who was extraordinarily cooperative visited the prison brought vermont assets to work to work hand in clove with new york the homeland security. u.s. customs, and border protection which did an outstanding job in apprehend mr matt. we want to thank them all very much. and last but not least, i want to thank the people of the state of new york who, as usual, stepped up to the challenge. people in franklin county clinton county. they had all sorts of leader they were on the look out.

law enforcement didn't end here. every citizen did their job, bravely and courageously and dealt with the increased police presence, and the fear frankly of having to go three weeks knowing that there were murderers loose in your back card. new yorkers are tough. and they stepped up. they stepped up to the challenge and provided help. and stood with us every step of the way. i want to thank the people of franklin and clinton county personally for their courage and every law enforcement officer literally thousands were enguaged in this and it's nice when it ends well. and we said that we were going to have a celebration at the appropriate time. but that everyone goes home safe. and the escapees have been dealt

with we wish it didn't happen in the first place, if you had to have it happen this is how we want it to end. another round of applause for the men and women of law enforcement. [ cheering and applause ] >> and now i turn you over to superintendent joseph dimico who runs the new york state police. superintendent. >> thank you governor ... all right, you were listening there to new york governor andrew cuomo, thanking the thousands of law enforce. officers who participated in this search over the past three weeks, suspected killers that escaped the clinton correctional facility by breaking out of their cells, digging through a pipe slithering out through a manhole and had been on the run

for three weeks. the governor was talking about how there was one trooper, sergeant cookie named him, who was alone at the time that he saw a second fugitive who was still out there. the governor calling it a courageous act, that the trooper saw sweat, approached him. told him to get down on the ground. at that point the finaling ty tried to run, and -- fugitive tried to run, and that's when he was taken down. sweat is alive, in stable condition, he's at the hospital and they'll figure out how this all unfolded. how they escaped, and he said that they are going to be prosecuting this man and any other people who were connected to this escape to the mullest extent -- fullst extent of the law, and another thing that andrew cuomo was saying this was an extraordinary event, akin to something you see in a movie. it was the first escape in

100 years in this face the ci. all right. let's go back out now to al jazeera's roxana saberi live in manhattan on an historic day after an historic ruling from the supreme court. she's amongst many people who are celebrating the gay pride parade that was held in new york city. roxana, tell us how it's going down there. >> that's right. there has been celebrations all day long and i expect they'll go into the night. as i told you earlier, we are down to three from an historic site in the gay rights movement. considered the first place. this corner is so packed. all day long people have reflected on the achievements and challenges that remain. >> reporter: the annual gale pride match brings out rainbows and cheers across the country, from san francisco, to

minneapolis. and here in new york. but this year people are marching with extra pride. >> i'm grateful to the things that are happening. >> i'm proud to announce my candidacy for the first lady of the united states of america today. >> they are celebrating the supreme court's ruling that same-sex marriage is a constitutional right. for this long-time couple the ruling means their marriage in new york must be recognised nationwide. >> this year we are celebrating. we are considered equal to everyone else. it's a joyous occasion. it's one of many achievements for the gay rights movements since the early 1970s, when the pride march began. back then the acts were illegal. cameron bartel says he appreciates what earlier

generations have done for gay people like him. >> we are standing on the shoulders of those before us. it's a lucky generation to see a big change. >> this is the time to celebrate. the achievements of the gay rights movement. and is a time to reflect on changes that lay ahead. >> i like addressing a lot of h.i.v. because essentially discrimination happens in the work place, you don't disclose your status it is positive. a lot of things. >> reporter: and a big test ahead for the boy scouts of america. it's set to decide whether to end a ban on openly gay adults as leaders. more than a year after ending a ban on young people as scouts. the organisation expelled david knapp when he was 67 and he believes change is about to happen. >> i still believe. to see this happen if i wish i

can come back into scouting. >> for english actor sir ian mcclellan, a grand marshal, work is worldwide to win people's hearts. >> what are some of the big challenges for the l.b.g.t. community. you know the easier part of the gay right is changing the law. you make the argument. we know we are right, it's accepted things move on. the law has changed. doesn't mean everything changes around us. old prejudices die hard. >> reporter: erica, organizers tell me more tan 2 million turned out. one of the biggest, and they are going to continue to call it a march, not a parade until the l.g.b.t. receive what they consider equality. >> despite the victory for the

l.g.b.t. community, many say there's a long road ahead to true equality. as it stand 18 states do not protect l.g.b.t. from employment discrimination, 12 tats do not allow same-sex couples to adopt, and 28 states do not protect l.g.b.t. from housing discrimination. people not a single republican candidate for president has praised the supreme court ruling, from jed bush bobby jindal and others all 13 g.o.p. hopefuls issued statement for traditional marriage. former arc sfau governor and presidential candidate weighed in. >> this case was not so much about a matter of marriage equality, it was marriage redefinition. i think people have to say if you are going to have a new celebration that we are not going to discriminate. may i ask are we going to discriminate against people of

conscience, faith, who may disagree with the ruling. >> reporter: things got out of hand at the gay pride march in turkey. police in istanbul fired water canons rubber pellets and tear gas to disperse crowds. it's not clear why police cracked down on the activist. some say this annual march is the largest gay pride event with several thousand people participating. joining me now to dig deeper into the incident is a cofounder of foreign policy interrupted, and a fellow at the world policy institute. thank you for joining us in the studio. the gay pride parade is not knew to turkey we are talking more than 10 years. >> it started in 2003 after the election of the justice and development party, the party that tuckey's current president recep tayyip erdogan founded,

elected in 2002 and in 2002 then prime minister recep tayyip erdogan said that l deserve for example. l.g.b.t. deserve protection. >> for more than a decade. the parade have gone without incident, why now. >> on june 7th the ruling akp party, recep tayyip erdogan's party, took a hit. they lost 10% of the vote and the majority in parliament. the party that gained was the kurdish party, the h.d.p. the h.d.p. ran on an inclusive message, including with a number - they had a gay - openly gay representative running on that ticket. the inclusion is a reason they

lost so many seats. my reading of the crack town is that it's a chief political move. turkey has to form a coalition government. there's no clear majority. tuesday, they will nominate a speaker, and on july 1st they will do proceedings to form a government. if they are not able to do that there'll be elections. another election would be held. atp would gain ground and possibly regain a major city. it's a political ploy to recapture power. do you think it could working backfire. right now it's unpredictable what will happen. if one of the parties will agree

to form a pert a government with the akp. it's interesting that they are reacting in this way. it's a knee jirk reaction which is unlike them. they have taken a longer view. when they came to power, they came with a long-term message, and they abandoned the message, narrowing on an anti-consec ty catering to the religious heart land. >> do you think the optics are transparent to the turkish people. organizers of the march released a statement saying the government was not allowing the march due to the muslim holy month of ramadan. this event fell on ramadan in the past. are they buying in? do they see it as a political

ploy? i think what you are seeing is an awakening among the people. they are making dismnd on representatives and understanding the process. it's moving in a positive direction. >> how is it received in turkey. >> while it's not illegal to be gay or legal. i think the l.g.b.t. struggles, it's a patriarchal society, there has been a push, that's never reached parliament. you said if it's muslim. you say that's turkey. >> in terms of the gay pride parade and the numbers that came out. the fact that it's not illegal

in turkey is progress. turkey wanting to be a member - they are talking about the country beak in the top 10 economies and playing a big part in global politics they have to rethink their stance not just on l.g.b.t., but human right. >> thank you so much from the world policy institute a surprise appearance today by vice president joe biden. the vice president attended worship services at the emanuel a.m.e. church in charleston south carolina and sold the congregation that he came back because he wanted to show solidarity with the church and families killed there. he received a standing ovation. after a scripture reading. he was in charleston on friday for the funeral of pastor clementa pinckney five people have been arrested after a concert stage

erupted in flames. more than 500 were injured at the park. officials say those arrested included park employees and technicians, and could face charges of endangering the public. erica woods has more. around 1,000 people were dancing to a d.j. at a water park when coloured theatrical powder thrown at the stage ignited. >> reporter: amateur footage shows within seconds members closest to the stage were engulfed in a fireball. they ran to get away. more than 500 suffered burns, especially to the lower legs. >> everybody was running and pushing each other. we saw a lot of people whose skin was burnt. it is like hell.

>> almost 200 were reported to have been injured, some in a critical condition. everyone was screaming and bleeding, blood was everywhere. >> reporter: paramedics were called to the scene, many were treated on the ground where they lay. others made their way to the hospitals. in the morning, some of the parents of the victims arrived to be by their bedside. >> translation: just a small child that went out to have fun, now on the verge of death. >> reporter: his 18-year-old daughter suffered burns to 19% of her body. >> today it is with a feeling great sorrow i visit these people victims of the powder explosion. the main purpose is to tell them the government will do what they can to help them and will investigate who should take responsibility.

>> reporter: many from the crowd are suffering lung injuries, the cause of the fireball is being investigated, but police are questioning the organizers of the event. the local mayor announced a ban on the coloured powder used at public events coming down to the wire on reaching a deal with iran. next - why some u.s. officials doubt an agreement can be reached by the deadline. a failed space mission, why the latest problem could be a setback for the privatizing of the space industry. erica pitzi

u.s. officials say a deadline for a nuclear deal with iran could stretch behind tuesday, the day an agreement was expected to be reached. iran's foreign ministers left the talks, james bays is there with development.

>> the u.s. secretary of state john kerry, face to face with his iranian counter part zarif much it was after this meeting that it was announced that mr zarif would return to tehran for consul sayings. experts are not clear whether there's a problem. >> could be there's a snag or a detailed programme on the table that he needs to take to tehran. because it goes beyond what his mandate has been to respond directly. >> reporter: the nu s that zarif was leaving came as others were arriving at the talks. german foreign minister steinmeier, the british foreign secretary philip hammond, and the e.u. foreign policy chief. >> i'm positive that if the strong political will is there from all the parties they'll get there. >> it will be tough. it has always been tough, but not impossible.

as i said, it's a matter of political will. >> reporter: mr zarif's departure means the deadline is unrealistic. all sides seem relaxed about an extension into the first few days of july. securing an historic agreement would end a 12-year nuclear standoff between iran and the west how it could change relationships in the middle east, and what happens if it fails. that and more on "the week ahead" at 8:30 eastern. still ahead - a gathering in vatican city to spark people to think about the climate plus new security measures tunisia is putting in place after last week's deadly shooting.

welcome back to al jazeera america, i'm erica pitzi here is a look at your top stories, gay pride celebrations were held in cities around the world. in new york thousands of people watched the annual parade

chanteds marriage equality. last week the supreme court came down with an extraordinary ruling making it legal for same-sex couples to marry in every state vice president joe biden attended a church service in emanuel ema south carolina. this afternoon a funeral was held for the reverend a doctor and pastor at the church and mother of four on the brink of financial crisis greece will not open its banks on monday there's no word how long the banks will be shut down. it came after european officials refused to extend a loan program. athens is expect to repay $1.8 million to the i.m.f. on tuesday. a potential setback today for spacex as it tried to launch an unmanned rocket to the international space station. >> three.

two. one. mark. clearing the tower went picture perfect, but 2 minutes later the spacecraft exploded. officials kiev the upper -- believe the upper stage liquid tank caused it to break apart. spacex has four more launches planned. it will likely be delayed. here is n.a.s.a.'s reaction. >> it's a disappointing loss. however, we manage at the international space station to get through these types of incidents. we have always assumed that we would lose a vehicle every so often. space flight is hard getting to lower orbit is challenging, and it does challenge the systems that fly to lower orbit every time they go. we expect that this is the third ex-plagues of a spacex -- explosion of a spacex rocket in less than a year.

the first happened after the launch vehicle returned to earth. both times trying to land on a platform but failed. the goal is to retrieve the rockets, saving hundreds of millions in launch costs. joining us on the phone is derek pitts, chief pass tron some mer and director of a planetarium. thank you for joining us. this is the third spacex launch that failed, are you surprised? >> as international space station astronaut said - space is hard. this is difficult to do one of things we have to remember about the machinery that takes cargo up to international space station is that it operates, you know, close to the limits of what equipment can do. there are flew its pumping through the ng systems at 250 degrees below zero, and the

turbo pumps operate at thousands of rpm. it's a taxing situation on the equipment. we have to expect that occasionally there could be a failure. >> do you think it will affect future launches at all? >> what it does is it may push future launches back but they'll keep going with the programs because, after all, what they want to do is figure out what the root causes correct the problem that may have caused this to happen and continue on. the expectation is that as they continue to work through the issues of what can happen they'll be able to reduce those risks and failures close to zero. that is the goal and they are confident that that can happen. >> what impact do the failed flights have on commercial space travel? >> well, in general, what they do when the general public looks at this the thought is

that it's the failure, the system doesn't work. everybody has to remember that any time a rocket is launched it's like a test flight case of any aircraft system and we are used to aircraft going through test flight phases where an aircraft is tested over and over to work the bugs out of the system. that's the same thing going on here. the setback that we may perceive to happen is an opportunity for all the commercial systems to figure out what the bugs are and get rid of them so problems don't crop up very often. >> all right, derek pits space contribute yore thank you for joining us. fooupizian police -- tunisian police are searching for more suspects. the lone gunman had accomplices who helped him before the terror attack on a hotel. meanwhile, plane loads of tourists are leaving tunisia. al jazeera's hashem ahelbarra

has a chance to talk to some of them. >> this is where one of the tourists was killed. she heard gun fire and ran to hide. but fell at this spot. and this is where a couple were shot by the gunmen. one of sousses most attractive beaches is the scope of the worst attack on tourists in tunisia's history. >> i thought these things happened in london paris or big cities. i was not expecting something to be happening here. it's a dramatic thing. >> many came a long way to enjoy a vacation. dreams that were shattered on the beach of the imperial hotel. hundred of tourists packed and returned home. those that stayed came to lay flowers at the site of the shooting. >> i feel very sad, really very

very sad. we brought some flowers yesterday. we cried, of course. we are not afraid. we think it's only an attack. but it's death for these good people. this quiet company. >> the people we met recount the horrors during the attack and can't understand why someone would kill tourists. but all say they may not comeback to tunisia. >> nothing in the future. no. >> reporter: why not? >> i'm scared. that's probably what they wanted. i have two children at home that i miss very much. yes. >> translation: i feel sad for t tunisians who face hard times in the future. it's a country that needs to

boost its economy so people can find jobs. >> the government says it will increase the number of troops it has on the streets, and will shut down mosques accused of inciting violence. for the tunisians that work in the tourism industry, the march on the beach is a message of defiance that they continue to work despite the uncertain times. this is where the gunman came from, and opened fire killing 38 people. the attack raises questions and led to an increase in security procedures in one of the most popular tourist destinations in north africa a saudi man has been identified as a suicide bomber who attacked a shia mosque in kuwait on friday. 27 people were killed more than 250 others wounded. kuwait's interior minister says he was born in 1992 flew into the country on the day of the attack. i.s.i.l. claimed responsibility for the bombing, security camera footage shows the attacker

looking out on a crowd of worshippers before detonating explosives. more cubans could we getting online through efforts by the communist government. until now access has been restricted. 3.4% of households were online and that could change as cuba gets ready to roll out new reform. >> reporter: wherever you go people in cuba are carrying smartphones, gifts from friends and relatives abroad. they can take photos text messages, but internet. >> no no. internet no. >> email yes. not internet. >> cuba is one of a few countries where mobile cones don't be connect to the internet. we are behind the rest of the world, totally disconnected says this student. like everywhere else he spends hours at the cultural

center, cuba's only venue for free wi-fi, an experimental project people bring smartphones and laptops much the signal is -- laptops to keb to the internet net. even if it takes until town. the signal is weak, but their will is strong. >> to connect with other cubans, on facebook, make friends, find out what we know nothing of. >> reporter: this is the alternative, the telephone company's navigation center where people surf the web. you can stand here for hours, waiting to get inside to use a computer and you have to buy a card costing $2, and allows you to surf for an hour. though cheaper than before the price is exorbitant on the average salary of $20. cubans are not allowed to have internet at home. while not legal, the resourceful

cuban pays a foreigner, eligible for a home connection to buy him a line. the only option available - a painfully slow, out dated phone line connection. in the meantime, there's the cell phone clinic, apps. an interactive guide to restaurants and more. >> translation: the database included on the phone, because people do not have internet on the phone. >> reporter: that is set to change, promises the government. according to cuba's first vis president, the state will guarantee secure and widespread use of internet for the development of the nation and will strive to make the resource available, access illegal and affordable to all. it's a major shift for a government that has been reluctant until now to grant unfettered internet access to millions of cubans impatient to join another revolution, the one linking them to the digital world.

a study released this month says that humans are directly responsible for the mass extinctions of many species. according to the authors "climate change pollution, hunting and the destruction of habitats are causing their disappearance. rob reynolds met with an animal a female white rhino, and the scientists struggling to keep her alive. >> reporter: she's literally one of last of her kind. nola, a white rhino, lives in the san diego's zoo safari park. >> nola is amazing. she's rare in that you can get pretty close to her. nicky is one of nola's devoted keepers. >> she's a quite girl. >> reporter: frenzied demand

for rhino horn in east asia, has driven the subspecies to the brink of extinction. >> the animals are killed for the horns. people think they have medicinal purposes. literally made out of kerro tin. there were five white rhinos left on earth. living in captivity. the remaining rhinos are like nola are past their reproductive years. there's one chance left for the survival of the species, and lies not far from here in an advanced genetics laboratory that scientists here call the frozen zoo. in stainless steel cylinders, genetic material from 300 endangered species is kept frozen. >> here is a long-tailed weesle. >> reporter: barbara is the

director of reproductive physiology at the zoo's institute for research. >> it's like a treasure chest. >> reporter: she's part of a futuristic rhino plan. >> she has cell lines, converted into stem cells, and then we could fertilise the eggs. we could potentially fertilise - have sperm and eggs from two animals that died many years ago, creating a new embryo, translating into a white rhino. it sounds like science for fiction, but it's scientifically feasible. >> we are not doing it recklessly, we have science behind it zoo we know it will take a long time. among the cells on ice in the frozen zoo are samples taken from nola. >> she may be a mother after all, perhaps, one day. >> we hope so, yes. that's the goal. >> reporter: preventing poaching and preserving habitat are essential to stop species disappearing. but with an assist from genetic science, the northern white rhino may one day again roam

wild, perhaps in a wider world. coming up severe weather across the globe. flooding wildfires, and deadly heat.
