robert ray, al jazeera. >> they've been called schools that leave students in debt without an education but some lawmakers are still defending for-profit colleges.

>> allegations against for-profit colleges are piling up. so has the debt for many students who say their degrees are worthless. the government is taking steps to ease the burden, but many say the white house and congress should be doing more. michael shure reports. >> what's impeding legislation on for-profit colleges, which i know is a pet issue of yours? >> i've offered it several times. it turns out they have friends in high places. >> we are corinthian colleges. >> democratic senator richard durbin is talking about for-profit colleges, an industry he says is ripe with fraud.

>> they overcharge, students get so deeply in debt, they drop out or get worthless diplomas and can't find a job. >> he has led the fight to reform the for-profit college industry, a fight that has failed until now. we sat with the senator in his capital office. >> i've tried to take them on several times. some of the highest ranking people in congress come to their defense. >> durbin and his colleagues say the bankruptcy of corinthian colleges show fraud and deception carried out on the backs of students and taxpayers. >> why is it so difficult to get traction on this issue? >> so many people are misled. 10% of high school graduates go to for-profit schools. 20% of all the federal aid for education goes to those schools they charge so much tuition. 44% of all the student loan defaults in america are students from for-profit schools. >> that's a very good question.

>> watchdog groups say an entirely different set of numbers stand in the way of congressional action and oversight. >> since 2009, the for-profit education industry has spent more than $43 million lobbying washington. >> vivica novak is with the center for response of politics. >> a lot of people think lobbying money is spent to get action. as more often than not, it is spent to stop negative action against the industry. i think that's more of what you're seeing in this case. >> the top five earning c.e.o.'s of publicly traded for-profit college took in 20% of salary in 2015. >> the first to profit is the c.e.o. taking federal pell grants instead of subsidizing students educations, a way to create an industry and make themselves and stockholders

rich. >> tennessee representative steve cohen backs legislation to provide more oversight. >> the reasons it would be difficult to get anything done with this bill is because of pernicious influence of financial be contributions by these people to both democrats and republicans at outrageously large levels. >> there's a lot of way they can make the case, be but $43 million can buy a lot. >> the biggest chung has gone to minnesota republican john klein chairman of the house committee on education in the workforce. he has received more than $400,000 through the course of his career from the industry. >> it's a lot for one industry to give a member of congress, especially an industry as small as the for-profit education industry is. >> we asked representative cline how he felt about being the biggest recipient of this money is specially in light of the fallures in that industry. >> i don't evaluate how much money did i get from this sector

or that sector. that's not how it works. >> is giving money back an option? >> education secretary arnie duncan said lobbying money is in the way of solving the problem. announcing a democratic decision to discharge some student loans in the corinthian bankruptcy, duncan said congress needs to be a partner on reform. >> this has to be a wake-up call to congress and i'd be hard pressed to believe that folks on the other side of the aisle wants to stand behind guys where there is no much defection of students and waste of taxpayer dollars. >> until now members of congress like cline stood behind the schools but senator durbin said change may come soon with the reauthorization of the act that has oversight of these schools. >> we sent $600 million in loans to corinthian after we knew they were failing. we let them sign up new students

after we knew this was a failing corporation and now these kids are stuck with the loans and the debt and we're stuck at taxpayers explaining why we continue to funnel money there. i notice my colleagues in the caucus are start to go pay closer attention. >> more than 1.3 million students are paying attention as well. michael shure, al jazeera washington. >> just one little second is making some financial and tech companies nervous today. a lead second will bed ad to clockion at midnight tonight. the last time it happened in 2012 mow zilla crashed. leap seconds are add for discrepancy between digital clocks and the earth's rotation. >> it's called one of the most provocative art shows this year, jackson pollak featuring some of his most intriguing work. >> summertime, number 9a, typical of jackson pollak, the

paint literally splashed, dripped, poured on to the canvas channeling the artist unconscious. he was a pioneer of action painting, a frenzy of throwing point, but it was controlled chaos, ending with beautiful compositions. as a founder of abstract expressionism, his paintings are worth millions and they're fragile now. sixty years on, the paint is dry and cracked. tiger is insured for $140 million. >> there's life or there's art before jackson pollak and after. if you have one of those works in your collection, it's really a centrifugal point where it can develop and grow because a lot of the roads in modern art lead back to him. >> pollak abruptly gave up on the drip paintings and moved on. it's the later less known works

this show highlights. there are only 37 black pouring paintings and there are 20 in the show. they are a big departure for pollak, almost exclusively black and they weren't popular when he first showed them. the black pourings were made with sticks and syringes used for basting food, but the style is still there the unrepeatal gesture. at his alcoholism worsened, his output slowed. portrait in a dream is considered his last great work. again, a departure from previous color rein to dued and the artist who's name is synonymous with abstract expressionism brings backs a figure. because he died young at 44 and with so few works, they are highly valid. organizers say it is unlikely so many of them will ever be gathered in one place again.

flight carrying soldiers and their families. >> i'm in salt lake city. we'll tell you how mormon mothers are trying to make church more accepting of their gay loved ones. >> good morning. this is aljazeera america live from new york city, i'm stephanie sy. the clock is ticking with just 10 hours left for greece to make a $2 billion debt payment to international creditors. right now a default appears likely. prime minister alexis tsipras urges greece to say no in sunday's referendum on bailout proposal also he calls humiliating. funds are needed to keep the government operating. we have more from athens. >> the comes hours are likely to see reactions against the government here in athens intensify. that's because we've just heard word that a renewed overture by

the european commission has been turned down here in athens. that if it is confirmed in the press conference in brussels apparently offered the greek government another opportunity to accept the latest offer that was put on the table by the creditors, the one that is going for referendum, perhaps with one or two changes. again, we are in a critical day for the process of greece's graduation not an honorable graduation, from its financial assistance and oversight period. this is the day when both that financial assistance officially ends and greece is to find itself not paying, not honoring the $1.6 billion euro bond to the international monetary fund, one of three creditors. today is going to be a day in which a yes vote here in greece wants to expression itself and put pressure on the government to go ahead and soften its position perhaps even cancel

the referendum on sunday so as not to risk giving the wrong message to europe that greece doesn't want to remain within the european zone and euro core. >> european markets have been down all day over fears of a greek default. the dow dropped 350 points. it made for the worst day of the year so far for the u.s. stock market. >> port wreak is set to approve a new budget, deciding how much to put toward a $73 million debt. >> the inherited debt is so big that it bars us from accessing the financial markets and our economy does not generate enough revenue to pay our obligations. >> the governor called on the federal government to allow puerto rico to restructure debt. under current lawyer, it can't

do that, because the island is a u.s. territory and not municipality. officials in washington say they will not bail the island out. >> a deal on iran's nuclear program hangs in the balance this morning, they are at the negotiating table in vienna, but there are major road blocks and today's deadline will not be met. iran's foreign minister is back in vienna for the talks. he returns after consulting with leaders in tehran who have new demands. that is creating new worries for those at the negotiating table. ali velshi is live in tehran this morning. good morning. is there a sense of excitement on the streets of tehran that a deal could be around the corner or disenchantment after so many deadlines have been missed? >> >> i have to tell you i think it's a little of both. i actually think that not everybody believes that this deadline is going to be met. you've said that there have been reports that negotiations do

seem to be progressing, but nobody thinks they will meet the deadline 2:30 in vienna tonight. there is some sense these negotiations are real. the foreign minister returned from vienna to tehran yesterday and went back to vienna. the conversations are continuing. there's a sense that there are still things outstanding. just as the u.s. will have to get the deal ratified by congress, up or down, yes or no, not amended the same thing has to happen here. the lead negotiator for iran is the foreign minister, a former diplomatic, the ambassador to the united nations. he's not the president and certainly not the supreme leader of iran, so those are people who are going to have to sign off on a deal. as you mentioned the goal posts have changed a little bit so there's a sense that iran -- let me give you an example. a couple of newspapers i picked up a lot of people gathered

around news stands. this is a farsi language newspaper, zero hour. the logistics of who went back and forth and what is going on in the negotiation. english newspaper less widely read, no reference above the fold on the main page. there is a story about greece, but not about iran and the nuclear conversation. below the fold, there's analysis. it does not have the same urgency that it's got for the rest of the worked. iranians have come to live with sanctions. they'd like them lifted, inflation is rampant there are hardships, but i've met people who don't think this is going to be over anytime soon and the the sanctions lifted immediately as the ayatollah has asked for. >> you've talked to a lot of people, i presume including business owners. what are their concerns with regard to these talks? >> well, they really talk about

how business was good before sanctions. i spoke to a carpet merchant yesterday who said that before the sanctions, they were shipping a 40-foot container of carpets to the united states every week. this is not the industry. this is one little business. i was in a little room. they don't sell carpets to the united states, they haven't shipped them in a few years. others talk about the fact that they don't have access to parts to spare parts for things. you see very old cars running on the streets. there's difficulty with mechanical equipment a number of manufacturers have said they could buy new equipment. the issue is the sanctions are wide ranging but they are specifically the strongest part of the sanctions is the banking sector, the way in which you send a wire like greece is sending a wire -- not sending a wire, actually to the i.m.f. today. you can't buy things from abroad and pay for them. transactions are in cash, western credit cards don't work

here. iran is missing out on a world of business, tourism of all sorts of things and there's a real sense that americans do not understand the grievances of the iranians and the reasons they feel so proud about what they want to have. that said, there is absolutely agreement almost across the board from liberalles to conservatives in iran that the sanctions are bad for the economy and having them lifted, whatever it takes would be a pretty good thing. >> there's a general consensus that sounds like from ordinary iranians that they do want some sort of deal. we understand there is division between the hardliners and more moderates within the iranian government. the ayatollah recently has taken a harder line when it comes to the nuclear negotiations. does that reflect what motor iranians want? >> i have to tell you i'm not sure that what people are telling me is an absolutely reflection of their views. i asked one gentlemen yesterday he said i don't want to talk

about politics. i said i understand maybe you don't want to talk about politics with me, but do iranians talk about this a lot? he said morning tonight this is all anyone talking about. he said what people want versus what the government does like in any country is not often the same thing that. there was a sense that that's going on at higher levels a may not be a full reflection. the average person, business people working people want sanctions removed. that's sort of their priority in this. when that pressed further about why do you think these sanctions haven't been removed who should give up what in order to get the sanctions removed who should concede what in order to reach a deal the conversation trails off before folks tell me what they're thinking. you can tell they are thinking something, but not telling me. folks don't want sanctions here. what you can't get at entirely is why they think those sanctions are there who's most responsible for it. i have to tell you i've asked a

lot of very specific questions about america. we hear about the chants down with america or death to america and the rallies. i am not finding a lot of people who dislike america. i asked a young kid yesterday what he thinks of america. he said he loves muscle cars, knows everything about them and has collected them, fixed them up and resold them and everybody he knows likes american stuff. american goods are for sale in the streets not in the normal market, but you can get pretty much everything you want here, every brand you know. i'm not feeling a viscerallike for america but a visceral dislike for sanctions. >> fascinating to have that point of view, as these nuclear talks continue. thank you. >> you can watch more reporting from iran on on target at 10:30 p.m. eastern. >> amid the nuclear talks the sister of a u.s. marine held in iran is launch ago new appeal for his release.

she is in ve en? trying to publicize her brothers case. he was arrested in 2011, tried and convicted and sentenced to death for spying. she says her brother is innocent. >> diplomacy and moving forward with a deal would probably make it easier for amir, but unfortunately, our family resists the idea that amir should even be associated with something that he has nothing to do with, so we keep asking and putting pressure on whether it goes well or not amir's case still needs to be addressed and he needs to come home. >> she is also worried about his health. he has now been held for more than 1400 days. >> 113 people have dialed after a military transport plane crashed in indonesia. the plane came down in a residential neighborhood in the country's third largest city. officials say it crashed two minutes after taking off from the hill father base, crushed

cars and partially destroyed buildings. the plane was carrying soldiers and their families. >> a suicide car bomb went off today a short distance from the u.s. embassy in afghanistan. one person died and more than 20 were injured when the bomb went off in the diplomatic area on the way to the airport. it's a newer base for foreign troops. >> the suicide car bomb went off just here. this is the main road to the airport, a very busy road. clearly the target. this for the purpose convoy here. there are a number of civilian cars damaged windows blown out in buildings here, as well. the police have cordoned off the area. police and the army here trying to keep it secure. we're not sure what kind of injuries or death there might have been here. this is normally a very, very main road through the heart of kabul. >> jennifer glass on the scene. >> three american churches are

considering divesting from companies supportive of israeli occupation in the palestinian territories. they are in cleveland, salt lake city and kansas city, and considering proposals to boycott products made in israeli settlements. >> united airlines plans to use farm waste and oil from animal faults to power commercial flights. the first eco friendly planes will take obviously from l.a. this summer. >> you can't take self area sticks to disney theme parks. >> record record breaking temperatures forecast in the pacific northwest today dangerous news for those battling wildfires. we have more. >> more extreme weather is expected this week from washington to southern california. in many areas fire crews are battles the flames in triple digit heat.

>> fire crews worked overnight to stop a wildfire's spread across central washington at hundreds of homes were evacuated. >> probably a 40-50-foot wall flame. >> 20 miles east of seattle, about two dozen homes were swallowed by flames in the hillsides around town. >> embers were going from one house to the other, catching the roofs on fire. >> in the light of day, you can see the damage, buildings destroyed and areas completely charred. this warehouse sent black clouds into the air. >> the fires hit the structure on the outside of that subdivision and that's when it was what we classify as a fire storm coming through. >> what started as a simple brush fire exploded under record heat and winds over the weekend. rainfall provided relief monday, but high temperatures and winds sent this areas burning. >> the worst is over but we still have to be vigilant. >> cruelty the west, nearly 75 wildfires are burning from alaska to arizona.

>> investigators in washington state are searching for the cause of the fire. several firefighters have suffered minor injuries. no residents have been hurt. >> still early in the fire season. thank you. >> on the digit albeit, a selfie requests have been viral. the prime minister asked people to tweet people with their daughters, an effort to highlight women and daughters in a country with a gender imbalance. far more boys are born there than girls. people have joined in the campaign from around the world. last month the job of the frame was praised despite her being a woman. >> increasing the paychecks for millions of americans. >> the republican field for president getting even more crowded today. new jersey governor chris christie prepares to join the race.

>> welcome to al jazeera america. it is 8:17 eastern, taking a look at other stop stories. the two convicts who escaped a new york prison were plan to go head for mexico. new york's governor said sweat and matt changed course after prison worker joyce mitch he will failed to show up and give them a ride. sweat was captured near the canadian border. matt was killed by police next

investmentment firm euro pacific capitals joins us. peter, thank you for being on the program. greece appears to be on the brink of default asian markets rebounded. europe's seem mixed. what should we expect at the opening on wall street. >> stocks are going to probably open higher. it doesn't make such different how they open, it's more important how they close. i don't think greek default is that big a threat to the united states. in fact, i think the anxiety over the possibility of a greek default or greek leaving the euro zone has actually helped the u.s. by attracting money to the dollar. any resolution of the greek crisis even if greeks leave the euro zone will be positive for the euro and negative for the u.s. dollar, which will hurt the economy. >> in moments of uncertainty don't people flee to the dollar? doesn't that lead to the stronger dollar and affect

imports down the line? >> that's my point. if we remove the uncertainty finally have a resolution one way or the other to the greek situation, then that's sum uncertainty that is no longer there and will work against the dollar. one day people will realize that there are more problems in the united states. if you look at greece, we're just as broke as they are and we're just as unable to pay our debts. the only reason that we can is because the federal reserve is pretty much making it impossible. one day that's going to cause a dollar crisis. >> your saying the focus could be in the wrong place. the there was some seg in the market, but wasn't panic. why didn't we see that, was it already baked in, the uncertainty? >> i do believe that most investors still think the federal reserve has their back. unfortunately, they're probably right. i think the federal reserve always keeps an eye on markets. it's one of the bubbles they filled with air and if they

think the air is comes out be willing to blow it back in again. in puerto rico, we've got problems in our own back yard much more problematic, given the enormity of the problem and the number of americans who own either directly or indirectly puerto rican government debt. >> do we think -- >> do we think there is a lot of exposure to puerto rican debt? a year ago people are talking about puerto rico and their ability to pay debt. >> some debt is now owned by hedge funds but a lot in mutual funds. all of these municipal bond funds were tracked to puerto rico because of the higher yields, triple tax free in all 50 states. most portfolio managers peppered portfolios with puerto rican debt to benefit they're yields, but took on the risk. no one cared about the risk, but

now it's going to bite them, meaning losses for people who own these funds. >> what do you think should be done about puerto rico. washington has said don't expect a bailout from us. >> puerto rico is a perfect example of how the minimum wage can destroy the economy. the federal minimum wage at $7.25 is effectively like $15 an hour. that's why they have 20% unemployment. it is very difficult to get a job in puerto rico. of course being on welfare in puerto rico is more lucrative than a minimum wage job. it's hard to entice people into the workforce. they've got the jones act which makes it very expensive for goods to be shipped in and out of puerto rico, so the united states has hurt puerto rico. one of the ways we hurt them is encouraging the borrows. when the federal reserve kept interest rates too low it created a lot of demand for puerto rican debt.

you can never get something for nothing and the bills are coming do and puerto rico can't pay. >> thank you for your perspective this morning. >> a new jobs plan from the white house will expand overtime pay for millions of americans doubling the pay threshold for guaranteed overtime from the current $23,660 a year. president obama is expected to announce more details about the plan later this week. >> we are expecting another republican presidential candidate to join the 2016 race this morning. new jersey governor chris christie is scheduled to announce his candidacy at his former high school. he joins a growing list of republicans seeking the nomination there are now more than a dozen of them. we look at the controversies and cam battive style that so far

has not seemed to hold him back. >> i am proud of my party, proud of my state and proud of my country. >> that's chris christie delivering the key note address at the 2012 republican national convention. at the time, the honor was a mark of his popularity and power within the gop. he is known for his combative style. >> you must be the thinnest skinned guy in america because you think that's a confrontational tone, then you should really see me when i'd pissed. >> an infamous salty moment. >> get the hell off the beach in asbury park and get out. you're done. it's 4:30, you've maximized your tan. get off the beach. >> he started here in livingston, new jersey where he was born and raised. he left the state to attend college at the university of delaware, where he met his future wife, pat foster.

he came back to his home state to attend seton haul university law school. >> hi. my name is chris christie. >> in 1995, christie ran for new jersey state departmentably but lost. he settled in as a lobbyist and campaigned for the bush family and from 2002-2008 served as a u.s. attorney for the state of new jersey, appointed by president george w. bush. during that time, he earned a reputation as a media savvy prosecutor, who made a point of attacking corruption. eventually, he pursued the state's highest office and more than a decade after he lost his first political race became governor of new jersey. >> new jersey, we did it. >> he took on teachers unions, tax incentive programs and pension reforms. even though his tangles with state legislatures became known beyond the state borders he points out his ability to work with the state's democrats. just before the 2012

presidential election, he welcomed president obama to new jersey for a tour of areas ravaged by hurricane sandy. >> in 2013, he won reelection as governor but not without controversy. when two lanes of the george washington bridge were shut down, it caused a massive traffic jam in the town of fort lee. prosecutors accused christie aids of orchestrating the problems to punish the mayor who did not endorse christie's candidacy. christie has denied any involvement. >> i had no knowledge of this, of the planning, the execution or anything about it. then i first found out about it after it was over. >> the u.s. attorney in newark said his office would no longer bring any charges in the case, which means christie is in the clear. still, the controversy has taken a big political toll. two years ago before by this gate christie's popularity was at an all time high.

now his ratings have plum melted to an all time low. key activists and donors say he has been hurt by the controversies and by his outbursts. he plans to head straight to new hampshire after his campaign announcement. >> the state department is releasing more of hillary clinton's emails today from her private email server. they go beyond the initial 850 pages released last month. those were linked to the 2012 attack on the diplomatic compound in benghazi, libya. the state department will take until january of next year to review and release all 30,000 clinton emails. >> fighting to protect their children. >> it breaks my heart to see my kids hurt in any way.

>> mormon moms supporting their lgbt kids and trying to change the teachings of their church. >> traveling 36 meters below london to take a look at the city's first underground phone.

>> welcome to al jazeera america. it is 8:30 eastern, taking a look at today's top stories. the u.s., diplomats say today's nuclear deal with iran will not be met. they will work through july. iran wants all sanctions lifted before leaders sign a deal. >> puerto rico is set to finalize a new budget today debating how much to put toward the massive $73 billion debt. officials announced monday they would not be able to repay creditors what the island owed. the white house will not bail puerto rico out.

>> in greece, the parliament building in athens, the country will miss a $2 billion payment today. there are reports the greek government is considering a loft minute proposal by the european commission. we have followed this story closely. we are 10 hours out from the deadline. what's the latest? >> right now greece is hours from becoming the first developed economy to default on an i.m.f. repayment. the country has until after 6:00 p.m. eastern time, 1:00 a.m. in athens to transfer $1.73 billion to the i.m.f. and it is a deadline it will almost surely miss at this point. what happens if greece fails to pay up? first the country will immediately lose access to the funds resources. as for talks of more time to give athens another chance to strike a deal with creditors that's unlikely, because the

i.m.f. chief has stated there will be no grace period. is the i.m.f. treating greek differently from other members? while therethe fund does not renegotiate. athens has been allowed to bundle repayments for june into one lump sum due tonight. a default theoretically puts greece on course to be expelled from the i.m.f., but doing that takes at least two years no to mention the fund has only kicked out czechoslovakja in 1954 because the government failed to provide accurate statistics but the cold war probably had a lot to do with that. while the fund may dole out tough love, it does not like to disown them. >> does the i.m.f. take into

account political considerations. >> whether or not to give greece special treatment, he there haven't in in the past. we have seen emerging economies in deep turmoil or that have defaulted on debt. right now the i.m.f. has new competition. we have other development banks and other possible bailout funds created by china so right now there's competition on the block, so the i.m.f. really doesn't want to play favorites. >> they don't want to look like they have a double standard for european countries. thank you. >> the situation in greece is likely to come up with president obama and his brazilian counterpart sit down, hoping to put an often icy past behind. >> it's a high stakes visit by brazil's president to washington. it comes two years after she snubbed president obama canceling a rare and coveted state visit to washington in the

wake of the scan doll over surveillance of her personally and brazilian society. brazil is going through tough economic times. there's scandal involving the state opened oil company where reduce receive once served on the board of directors. they will be trying to move beyond past disagreements and rousseff needs help, after starting her second term in february, her approval rating in polls in brazil have hit rock bottom. since arriving in the united states reduce receive has been having meetings with business and financial leaders on monday morning. after arriving in washington in the afternoon she and president obama made a surprise visit to the martin luther king memorial. meetings tuesday will focus on trade and investment and many looking for action on climbs change, leading up to a major national conference in paris late this year. one focus the rate of deforestation in the brazilian amazon.

last night the two presidents had a dinner in the white house followed by a joint news conference. >> we will bring you that news conference from president obama and rousseff live at noon today. >> two thirds of abortion clinics would be forced to close this week. >> in the middle of our interview. >> we had 40 patients yesterday 40 today. >> inside a busy texas abortion clinic preparing to closed wednesday. >> that's 40 patients who would be on the two week waiting list still here. >> allowing this clinic and the 18 other abortion providers left in texas to stay open after all. >> i'm super super excited really happy that we're here and we can keep going. a couple of hours ago we didn't know and didn't know if when we

turn the lights out tonight it would be the last time. i'm excited to keep going. >> a texas law is stayed that puts strict requirements on abortion providers demanding all meet the standards for ambulatory surgical centers by july 1 or close and that doctors who perform abortions have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. here at whole women's health, the law would mean the facility would have to be rebuilt with thicker walls and wider hall ways. state leaders say the changes would improve patient safety, but providers argue abortion are already safe. >> why is it so difficult to make those safety changes that the allow's calling for. >> it's not that it's difficult it's just not necessary. it's not necessary. for some companies and chin knicks, it is impossible. it is impossible told. >> now the clinic will remain open until the supreme court decides whether to give this

case a full hearing. in response to the setback texas governor greg abbot said the accident will continue to fight for higher salt standards for women while protecting the most vulnerable, the unborn. >> why should you be able to dictate to me when i become a parent? you should not. it's a medical procedure like anything else. it is a medical procedure like anything else. >> you know, that questioned been settled. that's what roe v. wade was for. >> exactly. >> why are we still talking about it today? >> good question. >> abortion providers say it's politics encroaching on women's rights, a debate that won't be settled until and unless the supreme court issues a final ruling. >> heidi zhou castro reporting from fort worth. that will be one of the most controversial case to say reach the supreme court next year. >> for 10 years chief justice roberts has led the nation's

highest court. when appointed by president george w. bush he was expected to continue the shift to the right. during his tenure, he has been a mostly reliable member of the conservative wing with scalia, tomas and alito. new york university's law school professor describes roberts core philosophy. >> i think he's a deeply conservative man in the sense that he has a great deal of respect for the status quo for hierarchy, for order for careful discipline. on the other hand, he is also deeply committed to the democratic process. he believes in democracy. he believes in the fact that if the people speak, you should listen to them. but he also believes that until the people speak the court shouldn't act. >> he says that explains two seemingly contradictory

positions during the court's past term. roberts support for the affordable care act and his opposition to same-sex marriage. he believes roberts voled against same-sex marriage because it isn't mentioned in the u.s. constitution and the congress has not enacted legislation, but he sided with the court's liberals on health care because the people had spoken when congress passed the affordable care act. still newborn is not ready to say the roberts court is shifting left. >> you have can't possibly gauge how the court is moving based on a single terms cases. we only had 68 cases this term. that's a very, very small sample tolls the court is shifting. the liberals won largely because either justice kennedy or chief justice roberts peeled off from what is a usually stable conservative majority and crossed over, but it was the nature of the cases that did it, not some shift in the philosophy of either kennedy or roberts.

>> professor newborn beliefs and the they've's kennedy tendency to vote with liberals has stopped roberts from controlling the court the way he would like. the court at the end of the day is conservative. >> sounds like a consistent court. >> yes. >> your full report is at 8:00 tonight on prime time. >> a group of mothers with gay children is trying to change the way the church views their children. they are finding themselves in deep complicate with the teachings of the latter day saints. we have a report from utah. >> allison and her family start sundays together but when it's time for church. >> i do not miss going to church at all. >> her son stays behind. the 16-year-old stopped believing in the mormon faith. >> see ya! >> have a great time.

>> when he began feeling he was different from everyone you knew. >> in sixth or seventh grade i realized oh, i'm probably gay. >> did you ever try to go talk to a bishop. >> no, never he they it's a disease you can fix over prayer and talking to your bishop, and that was not ok with me. >> allison searched for guidance first in the church headquartered away in salt lake city. she felt it treated the topic as taboo. >> i didn't have anyplace to turn. i felt very lost, very lonely. >> until she served on line and fountain a facebook group of other mothers with gay children. they call themselves mama dragons. the group formed just over a year ago and now has members across the world offering one another advice, support and friendship. >> you can talk and someone's talking your language. it feels like you're not the

only one. >> they were hoping to speak with leaders of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints to ask about their views on same sex relations. they declined and directed us to their official website on the subject, mormons and gase.org. >> the website states same sex attraction itself is not a sin but acting on it is. id as with lineup and understanding, the church reaches out to all god's children, including our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters. >> bring up an lgbt topic. >> since he's come out, he said many church members excluded him from events and stopped talking to him. >> we have scout camp annually, and some moms said that if he goes, i don't want my child to go, because what if he's going to do something. >> it breaks my heart to see my kids hurt in any way. >> do you ever break down? >> yeah, i break down. i break down when my son tells

me why he can't have friends or why they won't be his friends what's so wrong with him that they don't want to be his friend. >> at the utah pride festival earlier this month allison marched with her son for the first time. >> how do you reconcile your faith with the way some people in the church have treated your son because he's gay? >> it's a struggle. i'm not going to lie. i believe in the heavenly father, a higher being. i believe he has a plan for all of us, and that includes our lgbt brothers and sisters. >> al jazeera, salt lake city. >> another victim of the shooting at the emanuel a.m.e. church in charleston will be remembered today a fourth generation preacher served in several churches in south carolina. the funeral service is planned for thursday in colombia. he was one of nine shot and

killed at emanuel a.m.e. church two weeks ago. >> the controversial vaccination bill is sitting on california governor's desk this morning making them a requirement for nearly every school child in the state by eliminating exemptions based on personal or religious beliefs. it would allow only for medical exemptions. mississippi and virginia are the only other states with such strict policies. >> a doctor joins us this morning to talk about the bill. good morning. this year, more than 150 people were infected with a measles outbreak. is this bill a knee jerk reaction or is it medically necessary for public health? >> i think we have reached a point where it is medically necessary for public health to mandate vaccination. unfortunately, what you're going to see is continued waves of epidemics of measles and other infectious diseases. they come in waves.

they don't continue to happen throughout the year, but you see these things in wave. we will continue to see that if we don't mandate vaccination. >> is it ethical to demand that children's parents, you know, who may have not believe in vaccination forced their children to get these shots. >> we are dealing with a culture war. the science is clear vaccines are safe and effective the benefits far outweigh the risks. people get passionate, where things get controversial are the cultural, economic consequences. >> should that be taken into account? >> absolutely. this is a debate between personal freedom and public health. we do have restrictions on freedom, drunk driving is a restriction on personal freedom. when there is an implication for the safety and lives of others, we do need to step. >> there was a lot of controversy he based on flowed science aren't vaccines and

people in california seem to have jumped more on that bandwagon. are these cases of measles a direct result of that cultural shift that happened due to misdirected sciences? >> i think absolutely. california is sort of the bellwhether, the state most resistant for fear of toxicity and other side effects of the vaccines that study has been proven to be false discredited for many reasons. >> you still have celebrities going out there telling meme not to vaccinate their children. >> this is a battle between personal freedom wanting to show that you're questions authority, but being done in a way that is rather misguided. >> if the governor of california signs this bill, how quickly would you recommend from a medical standpoint that they start vaccinating children that were previously exempt? >> it's enforced with a level of school enrollment. you'll see a large number of children that will be vaccinated

in the fall as a result of the lobbying past. >> how quickly will that herd sort of protection come back? >> once you have safe with measles, you need a very high level of vaccination so 95% or so. you need to do a lot of catch up vaccination for measles. for other infectious diseases it's not quite as high. it will take a couple of school years catch up. >> i know your research has been around infectious disease and measles. how insidious is it as a disease? most of us have never seen it. >> i spend time workinging africa where we see these diseases. when use a child with infection of the brain or with a severe pneumonia and they die they don't have the antibiotics i.c.u.'s and ventilators and it's hard breaking to see that. >> in today's environmental impact report, london's first

underground farm will begin supplying produce. it operates out of a world war ii bomb shelter and could be a blueprint for future urban farms. we have more. >> deep belowth streets of london like a dark, damp network of tunnels build to shelter from the bombs that fell during world war ii, they've been abandoned until now. this is a farm that will soon provide food. restaurant owner is one chef who will be serving these shoots to his customers. >> growing are pea shoots, radish shoots, as well. their all very favorful. as a chef, i get excited about flavors and taste and i want to use them in all my dishes. >> the farm's location makes the

produce supply chain almost utopian. the difference from plant to plate is minimal reducing the carbon footprint. it's sustainable considering the light is all artificial. these tanks recycle and recirculate all water used by the crops 70% less than open field farming methods. >> we are growing on a substrate here which is recycled carpet, and that is completely bio combustible. when we harvest it, waste can be com posted and turned into useful product. >> these tunnels run for just over half a kilometer. the idea is that within two years, they'll be filled not just with crops like these but with baby carrots even cucumbers which can be harvested, packaged and delivered within a few hours.

>> feeding with sustainable and locally grown produce will be key. this could be the future of farming. al jazeera london. >> on the tech beat this morning, just one little second is making some financial and tech companies nervous today a leap second will bed ad to clocks tonight. last time it happened in 2012, mow zilla linked in and red did it collapsed. >> a step closer to winning another world up. >> from the printed page to the web, some comics are making the leap into the future.
