particularly vulnerable to credit card fraud. it makes up about half of the global credit card fraud and you see how susceptible our information is, and the former hacker we spoke to made a living taking that stolen information and making phony cards. >> you can watch part two of this special report tonight what happens when hackers are backed up by governments. >> the office of personnel management is asking federal agencies to pay for one of those hacks mary mentioned. this year, hackers gained access to the files of 21 million federal workers and contractors. the agency says it can't afford to fix the multi-million dollar problem. its director resigned early they are month. >> new rules to protect veterans and service members from predatory lenders tightening loopholes that allowed interest

rates charged higher than 26%. president obama spoke about it. >> there's already a law to protect our troops and military families against unscrupulous predatory lenders, but some of the worst abusers like payday lenders are exploiting loopholes to trap our troops in a crushing cycle of occurring debt. the defense department is closing these loopholes to protect our men and women in uniform from predatory lenders. it is the right thing to do. >> the 36% had been in place sings the dot frank act. they offered new financial products not covered by existing laws. i want to get into this with grant moon from a company who

assesses veterans. some of these interest rates are 300%. >> there's been a good amount of documentation at this point on the unscrupulous practices in these particular payday lenders which the president mentioned. anytime or anybody for that matter, who's ever had a credit card knows how hard it is to pay off something of 20%. i mean, when you look at 300% or even over 30% for that matter, i think that that will hit home with a lot of people on how hard that is to pay off. >> the accusation is that these loan sharks are targeting specifically military members. why are they more vulnerable than other civilians? >> i think you know for military communities are really micro communities. if you take a look at a lot of

the military installations and bases across the united states or world for that matter, a lot of them are very isolated from any major metropolitan area, so it's easier for a lot of these lenders to go in and set up shop geographically around these bases and serve the community so, you know, i think that's number one. number two is uniquely the military member has a secure source of income from the united states government, so, you know, those two things combined create a perfect storm if you will, for a lot of these payday lenders to target our service members. >> grant however do these new regulations which require all credit products offered by service members to be capped at a 36% interest rate go in addressing the financial problems that troops face? >> i think it addresses a lot more of the symptoms, right but

there's still an underlying need out there for financial education. ideally, you know, the service member would be addressed before they were an at risk to arrive at a payday learned or another learned to get trapped in these resolving credit lines of even 36%, so, you know, from my opinion, a lot of the, you know, a lot of the real root cause is more preventative and addressed from an educational matter as opposed to trying to address it at the back end. >> i'm sure you've heard horror stories from military families getting stuck in this spiral. tell us some of what you hear. >> a service member, i guess is not unique in that, you know, anybody or even service members

they go through financial hardships, you know, who knows maybe a sick parent, maybe somebody got divorced and then next thing you know, that creates a demand for a loan, or creates some fair ball hardships, and when you have access to those type of lenders and you do, if you were to go around any military base, you would see a number of short term loans, advertised payday lenders, advertised in the bases, it's very easily accessible. but having that easy access right there and somebody being in a financial hardship, it's the access that creates that turnkey, you know, area to solve it. >> grant moon, the founder of v.a. loan captain, thank you. >> fighting for a $15 wage, new

york set to boost the amount of money fast food workers make across the state. >> the increasing numbers of children living in poverty in the u.s. and what's behind it.

>> will approve the increase wednesday, not just an expense in new york city, but fast food workers across the state. that could mean a 7% jump in wages. >> governor cuomo created the wage board to circumvent the legislature. what started at calls for a $10.10 raise are now coalescing around the fight for $15. >> >> the issue has become highly politicized and candidates are already taking a stand. >> people work longer hours and gain more income. >> if the board passes the minimum wage hike, it's unclear when it would go into effect and

include mom and pop sandwich shops or just big chains. new york would join seattle and los angeles allowing minimum wage for all workers to rise to $15. >> the effects of raising the minimum wage with legislation can be mixed. six of 11 states that increased the minimum wage in 2014 saw job growth above the national average. the executive director of long island jobs with justice an organization that add volunteer indicates for workers rights joins us. thank you for being with us. why is the wage board of new york state only looking at the fast food sector? >> it's a good question. we get that question a lot. currently right now the movement that was started in 2012 was started by striking fast food workers who were at the tipping point of not being able to survive on their poverty

wages. the governor recognized the significance and importance of workers rising up and calling for an increase of wages. the governor puts specific emphasis on the fact that fast food workers at this current moment in history are at the bottom of the rung of wages. >> as opposed to somebody who works at the gap or clothing store that might not get this $15 raise. >> right. i think the critical piece now is not that, because we have a lot of workers making below the minimum wage and not being able to survive. taking fast food workers which is such a large industry is a stepping stone to making sure that all workers in smaller sectors are able to achieve that, as well. >> what makes this conversation different than conversations we've had about expensive cities that have raised the minimum wage we were talking about is that we're talking about an across the state raise in minimum wage for fast food

workers. how do you make the argument that a fast food worker in buffalo should be paid $15 the same as in manhattan when the cost of living is so different? >> i think we can't make these distinctions of which regions get to make more than others. across the board in new york state, surviving is difficult. $15 an hour is about $31,000 a year if the worker can work full time. i think we need to start making a statewide distinction of everybody needs to be making the same wage, because it creates too many divisions within the stated and we can't have workers in one region of the state failing in their ability to thrive than others in the region. >> do you think it should be $15 or nothing at this point? >> i think it should be no less. if anything, it should be more. >> opponents in the industry are

saying this could seriously hurt small businesses owners, franchiseee owners that are in some cases minorities and women and the same groups we talk about with low wage workers. >> it's another question that we get a lot. franchise owners are in a unique position, because they have to be accountable for their employees and to the corporation. franchises although they get lurched into a similar category as mom and pops are quite different, because franchise operations actually get -- are operating within the larger corporate entity so get privileges that mom and pops don't have. >> do you think the mom and pops should be exempted? one of the questions is how the state wage board will define fast food workers whether it includes a mom and pop cupcake shop. >> i think everybody's circumstances within the industry, they really have to

evaluate where there are where they stand. overall, we can't continue to operate any business where workers are making poverty wages. >> appreciate you being here. >> thank you. >> investigators in washington state say there's a major stumbling block into their probe of the police killing of a man last february. three officers fired at antonio zambrano montez. finding out which fired the fatal shot could be nearly impossible. >> hallow point bullets fired into a water tank from different pistols, including a glock 21, the same type of pistol carried and fired by all three police officers in the fatal shooting captured on cell phone video. tests on those glocks could influence the decision on whether to charge the officers involved or what to charge them

with. >> they are one of the most difficult guns to identify. >> forensic scientist rich wyatt, whose crime lab did not work on the case said it's all about the rifling inside the gun barrel. >> it gives flight like a football, so swifts that as it goes down the barrel. >> glock barrels are different the rifling leaves fewer marks. he retrieves the spent bullets and shows us the difference opinion the slugs that expanded on impact, but it's base you which is important. >> those are the ridges cut. >> right. >> feel the ridges on that. >> barely at all. >> it's easy to see under the microscope. when we switch one out and look side by side, it's hard to mash them conclusively. matching a single bullet to a

specific glock can also often be a challenge. >> the majority of them are inconclusive. definitely over 50% of our comparisons on glocks are inconclusive. >> there's nothing in the documents reds by franklin county linking a specific gun to a specific fatal shot. in the case of six bullets or bullet fragments recovered from the body, investigators report they could not be conclusively identified or eliminated as having been fired from any of the glock pistols used in the shooting. >> you're as guilty in this state of a crime as offendable if you're an aider or abettor. >> you don't have to be the one who pulled the trigger. >> long time defense attorney john henry brown said uncertainty about who fired which bullet shouldn't be used to avoid criminal charges but

could make those charges less serious if charges of filed. >> i have to say the deputy prosecutor would be manslaughter one, which now carries basically the same sentence as murder two. >> county prosecutor sean sad has declined to comment telling us he's still reviewing all the evidence. al jazeera, seattle. >> more reaction today to a surprising report showing the number of american children living in poverty. the foundation says one in five kids, 22% were living in poverty in 2013. jennifer london reports from los angeles where child poverty rates are the highest. >> these are the faces of l.a.'s most fragile families, this 9-year-old and 7-year-old and other children who attend summer day camp here at the all people's community center in los

angeles live in poverty. the center is a lifeline, providing educational programs, a safe place to play and healthy meals. >> what are you having for lunch? >> i just finished eating my hotdog. i'm guessing this is a plum or something. >> do you have food at home? >> we sometimes run out. >> coming here, do you know every day that you are going to have to healthy lunch? >> yes. >> without the center, many children would go hungry. >> a lot of them go to school and that's their breakfast meal and they come to our after school program that's their lunch and sometimes at home, we don't know if what they get to eat at home. >> in los angeles, one in four children live in poverty and on skid row you'll find the largest concentration of homeless people in the country.

here at least 1,000 children live on the streets among the at the times the cardboard boxes and the shopping cards. >> we're seeing the rates of poverty increase over time despite decrease in unemployment from the how about of the recession. >> growing up poor leads to a lifelong struggle. >> studies link the food insecurity issue to performance at school. >> are you going to eat your celery? >> are you going to drink your milk? >> ok, write now. very good. >> >> on the healthbeat, more teenagers are using emergency contraception. one in five sexually active teen girls have used some form of the

morning after pill, likely because it's easier now to buy emergency contraception over-the-counter. >> the pentagon is further integrating women into the armed service was. the navy expanded paid maternity leave. navy admiral michelle howard says it's a big change from when she joined the service. jamey macintyre sat down with her. >> when change happens people's head hurts the way new shoes hurt their feet. there were some hurting minds out there when i started and yeah there were folks who didn't behave the way they should have behaved. >> what do you think when you walk down this hall and you're surrounded by all these men of the navy? >> one it's historical fact of where our country has gone. we started off at only men could

be citizens and for survey and oversight, it's predominantly been men. the history of women in leadership in the military for the navy doesn't start until the first world war when we bring women in as enlisted. >> you can see her full interview tonight at 8:00 eastern. >> investigators are looking into more laser pointing incidents at airports. pilots on at least four planes reported targeted with lacers last night as they approached newark and laguardia airports. a week ago pilots on more than a dozen planes rewarded seeing lasers pointed at them. >> the on going drought in california has made the state a tinder box. firefighters have battled more than 3600 wildfires. now drones are making it tougher for them to put out the flames. nicole mitchell is here with a look at why that is in today's environmental impact report as

if the job wasn't hard enough. >> it's a little bit like the laser pointer story that you were just talking about. even if they know there's a drone and it's doing something illegal, it's hard to find the owners and track it back. in california, there have been a number of fires. the last one you might remember this from friday, the north fire jumped the 15 freeway setting cars on fire, 44 vehicles destroyed. motorists were fleeing the scene, running for their lives and in the middle of all of this drones caused fire operations to be suspended temporarily. five drones reported, according to the san bernadino county fire department. two gave chase to their units and caused a 15-20 minute delay. they disrupted the helicopters trying to get water into the area and would have created a safer environment and fewer people having to run.

it's so bad the u.s. forest service has put out a poster saying if you are flying, we can't, and highlighting that this could cause injury or death because of these operations. the f.a.a. has placed temporary flight restrictions around the fires and two bills being introduced, one to up the fines if you're doing this and the other saying that these public officials can now possibly destroy the drones. as i mentioned at the start it's sometimes hard to track them back to who is actually owning them, so people really just need to be aware that their causing problems. >> they think those drones are taking video? >> they take video and sell them, but they are keeping people from getting in. >> nicole mitchell, thank you. >> california finishes say a destroyed bridge from l.a. to phoenix will reopen friday. it collapsed sunday night in heavy rain. the westbound side on interstate 10 will be used for traffic in both directions.

england. the fragments are 1300 years old. it had been unrecognized in the library for almost a century. >> on the money beat, a lot of people are logging in to a new website that promises to bring more competition to on line shopping. jet.com means to undercut amazon and costco. we have been checking it out p.m. this is like an entirely new business model. >> it really is. jet.com is based on something called scalability teaching consumers how it works in a market already filled with competition. >> so much cheaper than other prices i've seen on line. i accept. >> jet.com hopes to steal customers from on line giants like amazon by up ending their business model. the company will make money from $50 annual membership fees and no profits from the products sold. >> google, insta card, chasing

years as it absorbs shipping costed and price differences. >> the key will be getting partners and more inventory. some brands weren't aware they are links were on jet's website and asked to be removed but others welcome the chance to really compete in this new marketplace. >> thank you. >> best selling author e.l. doctoro has died. he wrote "rag time" and" billy bath gate." he was known for fictional characters in historical settings. >> fans mourn the death of tom moore, the author behind the archie comic. i began drawing while in the u.s. navy during the korean war. >> president obama made a special trip to new york to pay

>> for this photographer, what he saw at play grounds with children at play is striking. >> the play ground project is 58 photographs of school playgrounds taken around the worlds during morning break or lunch break. the photographs come from england, which is where i started the project, i was fascinate by this kind of -- the different types of schools and then i expanded it to go to kenya, to america to china and then also to the west bank and to israel. there was an incredible difference in terms of the locations and types of play ground and the landscape and the background from which the children came, but then there was some incredible similarity between how children played. the differences between the playgrounds could be huge in

terms of the facilities, some of them very basic. other schools which had some kind of amazing equipment with different types of climbing framed. in china the school playgrounds stood out because the children there don't have free play. i think recreation is very important, because i can remember that the play ground to me is one of the first places where did you go out and explore a little bit on your own and i think that it was that place where you learned to handle relationships, you learn how to deal with kind of problems within groups and i think that that was really an important space for -- it was for me and i could see it for children, as well as i went around. >> you can see more of the i am manuals in his new photo book, play ground.
