7:02 pm
was on what to do about the vexing problem of north korea. known for its bellicose rhetoric, but it's latest propaganda offering was an over the tom video posted on the north korean website that threatened the united states with a nuclear attack and featureddan maintained ballistic missile strike on washington's mall. a decade ago, such war talk could be anyplaced as bluster, but nowadays, kim jong un, developing a miniaturized warhead and an intercontinental ballistic miss many, though unverdict verified, must be taken seriously. president obama held talks with south korea and japan, the allies close effort to the north. >> it's not surprising that one of the topics on our minds is
7:03 pm
the issue of north korea, and we are united in our efforts so deter and defend against north korean provocations. >> today's meeting has led to discussions on what our three countries should do together in order to stop north korea from its misguided calculus. >> earlier, he met with xi ping, the president of china. and both countries are committed to the denuclearization of the korean peninsula. meanwhile, though the north's boast in january of an underground nuclear test was deemed by the u.s. as an unsuccessful attempt to detonate a hydrogen bomb, the north's capabilities are undeniably improving, and the pentagon said that that's war
7:04 pm
plans. >> today, if you think about north korea, you have to factor in intercontinental ballistic missiles and cyber capabilities, in addition to the threat that we have on the peninsula. >> reporter: and tony, the united states continues to hope that the tougher sanctions will continue, but kim jong un appears to be convinced that the surest way to prevent an outside invasion that could topple his regime is to have a nuclear saber. >> south carolina's governor is trying to undo a key aspect of a non-proliferation agreement. nikki haley is trying to stop a ship load of plutonium from docking in her state.
7:05 pm
where the plutonium and the governor are coming from on this. >> reporter: tony, the ship load of plutonium is coming here right now from japan. but ut governor says no more in my backyard. so what's going on in the backyard? atomic road is the major thoroughfare that leads to the biggest employer in this area, the savannah river site, or srs. it has been big business and way of life since the 1950s. after the cold war ended, they agreed to stop taking republicans grade plutonium from other countries, but now nikki haley is upset good it being shipped. >> the governor is upset about removing the plutonium from the state of south carolina, and they failed to meet that commitment. and i agree with her about that. they should have started removing it, and they are promising to bring in more.
7:06 pm
>> reporter: the srs watch said that it's not only safely and securely transferred to srs for storage, but as the department of energy claims, it was chaotically and haphazardly dumped there. plans for safety after lapses were found in the hazardous material. and he said that it's terrorist bait. >> nuclear materials like plutonium are most vulnerable when they're being moved around. >> reporter: the department of energy has tried numerous times to find a new home for that. but it was mox, aimed to trade weapons grade. but after cost overruns, the oea pulled the plug on mox, and that's 5-$8 billion of taxpayer
7:07 pm
money out the window. and all of that spent plutonium continues to pile up. >> the only ones that have the capability of processing this stuff, so why send it somewhere else? >> reporter: an engineer at srs to says that she disagrees with the governor. a mix of srs critics and supporters. she said that the concerns over environmentalism are scare tactics. >> if there was plutonium diverted from this facility, it would be world news, so for decades, this has been going on, and nothing has been proliferated by terrorists front from it. >> he said that he couldn't talk with us about the japanese shipment, but he said that the transport is safe.
7:08 pm
and for critics, he said that the doa is at the mercy of budgets. bernice howard lives down river from srs. many of her relatives buried here died of cancer, and she wonders if leaving near srs was the cause. more than plutonium on the way means more for her. she showed us the environmental of ceda srs and at least not wht they call reference. >> what they are saying with reference man, that should be safe for him. reference man does not live in waynesboro, we do. >> reporter: but howard understands that srns will always be like the family member that you can't live with or without. >> snrs hires thousands. what would happen if they left?
7:09 pm
i don't want to see people lose jobs, but the people who are responsible for contaminating, they should take responsible for cleaning that up. >> reporter: just today at the nuclear summit in washington, the government of great britain announced that they will probably be sending another shipment of its own to the u.s. tony. >> well, andy, how much plutonium is actually headed there? >> reporter: well, the original agreement between the u.s. and russia called for 34 metric tons, and it will be only be a fraction of that. >> . >> new york holds a presidential primary april 19th, but it is too early, -- for the democrats, hillary clinton holds the lead in her home state, but the native new yorker, bernie sanders, is hoping to close the gap.
7:10 pm
joining us from a sanders rally in the bronx, david. david >> reporter: tony, from the bronx, it feels like woodstock, and the celebrity enforcement of bernie sanders. three weeks before the big primary, he's trying to get them energized and excited. and this is a crucial battle in the race. as far as the populist insurgency goes. fresh off the victories from the last seven contests, bernie sanders hopes to replicate in new york what polls suggest that he has done in once which is. after a string of large rallies, the polls ahead of tuesday's primary suggests that he leads hillary clinton. >> when we stand together, there's nothing we cannot
7:11 pm
accomplish. >> but gaining on clinton in new york, her own backyard, may not be so easy. >> you are meeting the next president of the united states. >> reporter: clint on has a large number of powerful political allies. in a harlem coffee shop, charlie wrangle, and at the apollo theater, charles schumer, and at a rally where she lives, saying that new york is hers. >> serving as your senator for eight areas was one of the greatest honors of my life. >> reporter: in a sign of the heightened importance of the new york race, sanders supporters protested and interrupted at the clinton event. >> oh, i know the bernie people said to say that, and we're very sorry that you're leaving. >> if you are democrat, you should vote bernie >> reporter: in the
7:12 pm
republican contest, donald trump appears to be losing one of his most high-profile defenders. ann coulter lashed out on a radio show. >> do you realize that our candidate is mental? its like constantly having to bail out your 16-year-old from prison. >> that was before trump's comments wednesday on abortion. >> the answer is there has to be some form of punishment. >> for the woman? >> yes, there has to be some form. >> trump's campaign said it was a misspeak, and said that he would only punish doctors. none of this is likely to help trump in wisconsin, where the latest poll of primary voters indicates that ted cruz has jumped ahead, 40% to 30, and john kasich has 21. for his part, cruz now seems to have found his rhetorical timing. wednesday night on jimmy kimmel, cruz joked about trump and brought down the house.
7:13 pm
>> if i were in my car and ready to reverse, and saw donald in the backup camera, i'm not confident which pedal i would push. >> funny line, but all joking aside, the bitter tone of the race is starting to pump up in the rallies. even bernie sanders, on the republican side, and in addition, what everybody has been saying about the republicans, he's sharpening his rhetoric in contrast with hillary clinton and wall street, all of that here in new york as bernie sanders tries to rally people for a surprise in the empire state. >> anchor: david, give me a sense of the field out there. i heard that some of the rallies are recently described as carrying the vibe of a rock concert. >> reporter: yeah, a music festival or woodstock is very appropriate. you see people with all kinds
7:14 pm
had signs, the rainbow flags, and again, much more of a festival than your typical political rally. there's a sense of community with people being like-minded. and it has a vibe to it. not the kind for the rally over the years. >> yeah, and i'll try this one. what's the name of that park where you are right now, and why did senator sanders choose that location for his rally? >> we're here in st. mary's park, across the harlem river in the bronx, and one of the original reasons that he had to use this park, he originally requested to use one of the churches in harlem, but the clinton political machine made sure that the word got out to all of the african-american churches, that they were with hillary clinton, and they were not available because of scheduling. but in any case, the sanders campaign said no problem, we'll
7:15 pm
find somewhere else, and they have probably 5 or 6,000 people coming to the park, which is more people than they would have been able to fit in any of the churches. >> david, thank you. the city of ferguson, missouri, will name it's new police chief tomorrow. it's major moss, of the miami police department, and he's currently serving as a spokesman. he will be taking over a troubled police department that has been under a microscope. they have been working without a contract since july. and the district is calling the one day walkout illegal. but as diane eastabrook explains, some of the teachers are questioning whether the union is doing the right thing.
7:16 pm
>> as the chicago teachers walk off, the parents have to make alternate plans. >> do you think that it's going to be inconvenient for parents. >> yes, but my daughter has special needs, and i'm going to keep her home on prism there's not of we can do. >> she thinks that it's necessary. >> we're showing that it doesn't matter, and the schools need to be funded and we can't take any more cuts here. >> reporter: it's a walk out over funding between rohm emanuel and the teacher's union, when the city closed six public schools. the latest battle is over a contract, the latest one was last spring. by law, the teachers can't strike until may, when a fact finding is completed.
7:17 pm
last year, they cited unfair labor practices. the union's president said that many delegates wanted a full-blown strike. >> we felt like, why don't we do a real strike now, and be done it. >> reporter: the chicago public schools said if there's a strike friday, the teachers will be breaking the law. >> when we get done with this, we'll look at the legal options and talk to the lawyers about how we pursue those legal options >> reporter: chicago public schools say that the teachers who don't show up on friday and don't video a legal excuse, will be docked a day's pay, but if they come to school and cross the picket line, they will be in trouble with the union. he thinks that they were putting the teachers in a difficult situation. >> the legality of it, most teachers feel apprehensive
7:18 pm
doing it. >> reporter: he isn't sure whether heel picket outside of his school. the labor relations board could decide if the strike is illegal, and what actions if any could be brought against the union and chicago's 27,000 teachers. diane eastabrook, aljazeera, chicago. >> a board of education election in texas is making headlines nationwide because one of the candidates and what she has been saying recently. aljazeera's heidi jo castro has the report. >> she's ou outspoken. and she's one step away from shaping what children in texas and potentially around the country learn in public schools for years to come. [ unintelligible ] mary lou bruin senior running for a spot on the texas board of education, the former kindergarten teacher and
7:19 pm
councilor for 36 years got the most vote, but came in under 50%. if she wins, bruner would join the 15-member board and have a voice in the curriculum stdards in texas. >> in texas, we have 5 million kids in our public schools, and if we teach them things that are not sound educational philosophies or facts, we're setting them up for failure. >> reporter: the issue is greater than just texas. due to the state's outside purchasing power with publishers, those same text books could be sold in other states. >> some of the things that she says is fright thing to think of somebody having a microphone and the status of an elected official in texas. >> reporter: thomas, as a moderate republican, he opposes bruner's candidacy. >> she has views that are not necessarily mainstream. most notably, she believes that
7:20 pm
our current president was once a male prostitute to pay for his drug hasn't. >> she did not respond to the request for an interview, but her friend said that bruner is in touch with the texas conservative voters. >> she knows what the parents the and she'll be able to speak to the values and concerns. >> she said that school shootings in the united states only began after schools started teaching evolution in the classroom. those things have created a lot of controversy and offense. >> i think that what really needs to be said, the further we get away from the founder's ideals for education in our state, and our ideal for the very government, judeo-christian values, the further we get away from the values, want more we're going to have things not like throwing spit was and chewing gum, as was the biggest trouble so many years ago, but today we have school shootings.
7:21 pm
>> reporter: the texas board of education is not new to controversy. in 2019, 50 organizations criticized the board for its attempt to weaken science standards on evolution. since then, the voters have elected moderate board members. >> i tell you, the circus there before my arrival is nothing like what she would bring to the board. >> voters say that bruner's ascension would put it over the facts. >> up next on the program. reduce, tough sentences for drug offenders. its happening for many inmates across america with one exception, refugees in limbo. the tough exceptions that syrians have to make.
7:24 pm
>> the soul surviving suspect in the november 13th paris attacks could soon be expedited to france. salah abdelslam was arrested in belgium days before the deadly bombing in belgium and he's willing to cooperate with the authorities. greece has been moving the refugees to other parts of the country, but thousands remain trapped in a camp. and they have been separated from their families. there where the people are increasingly desperate to be reunited with their loved ones. >> reporter: day 33 and waiting, living out in the open, just a few hundred meters
7:25 pm
from a border that's separating them from their families. he's on his way to germany before the balkan migrant route closed. >> we all made this journey because we thought that we could reach ger knee. we sold everything that we owned. they can't do this to us. >> reporter: lila was left behind when turkish police arrested her before she managed to get on the boat to reach the shores. now all she has are the pictures of her family in the refugee center in germany. i die every day, she says, and lila has little hope of being reunited with them any time soon. many of the 50,000 people now stranded in greece now share a similar story. they arrived two weeks ago, only to find a different europe. europe's response to the refugee crisis has been criticized.
7:26 pm
they said that the refugee centers are not the answer. people here are hopeful that it will change, though they have been repeatedly told by the authorities. the only hope is to apply for the program, which has accepted only a few hundred applications in the past six months ago. for some, time is not on their side. that'sim has been here for a month. he says his family lived through conflict. and he struggled to find work to feed his family. now he finds himself in a more difficult situation. >> my wife and brother arrived in germany. she's alone now, and she has cancer. i just want to be with her. >> that'sim is worried that it will make months before the immigration officials will look at his case, and that's why
7:27 pm
7:30 pm
>> so prison sentences are being reduced for thousands of non-violent offenders, and it's part of a plan to reform drug sentencing guidelines, buts this a very different outcome. >> my friends never knew this side of me, it was always on the hush. >> reporter: jessica is talking about her family. they legally immigrated from the dominican republic in the late 1980s, she was eight years old with a slightly forced smile, standing between her parents, and her mother is carrying her brother, alex. >> it made me a very arrived person, and i shied away from my friends. >> she has decades of pictures like these. her father is always wearing a beige shirt, that's because these family portraits were taken in the federal prison. he was sentenced for conspiring
7:31 pm
to traffic cocaine, and he was sentenced to 30 years behind bars. it was a punishment that according to court records was meant to "send the message to the community of which the defendant is a member that we don't tolerate drugs in new york and in american society." >> he wasn't there for birthdays, graduation, for any of t. >> he also wasn't there when his son alex enlisted in the u.s. marines, was deployed to the u.s. marines or became a sergeant. none of it. >> i don't think that anyone deserves to be in jail for that long for a non-violent crime. >> it's not normal, it's not what happens in other countries. >> reporter: president obama agrees with her. her father is one of the first federal prisoners with his sentence reduced in 2015. it led to the incarceration of millions of black and hispanic
7:32 pm
people. but for ramon, there's a catch. he's not an american citizen. >> one of the things about ramon and the six or seven thousand people realized, a federal judge looked at their case and decided they deserved a second chance and it deserved to be released early. and he looked at that, but the judge wasn't allowed to do the same thing. >> melissa is with the project and said that current immigration law has not kept pace with reforms in criminal law. >> so right now, if you have a drug offense, the priority for deportation, and likely not to have a lawyer, and a judge look at your case, including your son serving in the military. so for someone like ramon, he has virtually no chance of coming back. >> in the fall of 2013, ramon's transfer to a detention center, and in the fall of this year, transferred to the dominican
7:33 pm
7:34 pm
jessica keeps noticing similarities between her brother and her father. >> he's my dad's clone, and i'm like oh, my god, genes are so strong, he acts just like my dad. every single thing that my dad does, he smiles in the same way, he eats chicken, and they don't touch the bone. >> but it has been 26 years, and santo domingo is a very different place than he left as a young man. he's 62 years old now. >> because he still has the mentality of being incarcerated, of looking behind his shoulders, or you know, kind of certain things he reacts, you know, strongly about. i can kind of understand where my dad is coming from, because when i first came out of boot camp, it was the same thing. he was kind of like with that mentality. he came home and me and my mother started crying, because
7:35 pm
it was like, who are you >> reporter: it's the same question they are asking about ramon, who while free, will still be separated from his wife and children. they have careers in new york, and the marines are deploying alex overseas. >> you can never go back to the united states, and yet your son is defending that country. is it ironic? [ speaking spanish ] >> everyone has his destiny, and if my son wants to be in the marines, i support him. i could never be against him because he's an american. i have nothing against americans. >> you are one of the people that they believe was sentenced too harshly. and when you hear that, how do you put your life in perspective? >> i think it' it's a good idear mr. president obama, to push
7:36 pm
change is good. it's only president obama in 26 years in prison changes, but another president never pushed about it to change the law. >> you are prepared to be embraced by your family, but once they go back to the united states, what do you do here by yourself? >> well, i stay right here, you know, and write a story or something, wait for my family when they come back. >> reporter: do you wish that you would been deported sooner? >> yes, if that was the outcome, might as well have signed the papers 10 years ago, i think it would have saved our country a lot of tax dollars than having someone sit there all this time and ship him off anyway. >> reporter: this is the 20th anniversary of the illegal reform and responsibility act. it limits what judges can do in
7:37 pm
cases like ramon's. >> so often, they say, you can sit in another immigration jail for years trying to fight your case, but you have no legal argument. and ramon didn't, so i signed away his rights. but if the laws were different, he could have gone before a judge to make his case. >> reporter: for now, he wants to make good memories with his family. at his welcome home party, they took so many pictures. >> what do you wish someone had told you as a little girl? >> that it was nothing to be ashamed. that there was nothing to hide. everyone has a story, and this is my story. >> joining us now, and some story. >> yeah, it's pretty remarkable. >> let me drill down on this here, but we're talking about the largest release of federal prisoners in history. and what percentage of them are in jessica's situation?
7:38 pm
to where her father has been released but he has been deported. >> right now, 46,000 federal prisoners that will be released early. a full one-third of them, or 15,000 are in jessica's father's shoes, where they will be immediately either put in a detention facility, which is where most of them will go, and then sent back to their country of birth. and that's difficult because ramon spent so many years in prison, and then he had to spend about two months in a detention facility while all of this was worked out. >> they are with you, and you get to observe them and interview them and see them over dinner, and how did you find them? >> this is a story that's going to have profound itch cases for all of american society, because there are so many people being release. so i've been tracking this from the moment that president obama made the announcement, searching for families, and when i found this, i was struck that ramon will be banished
7:39 pm
from a country that his son will be defended, so i spoke with ramon for literally about two months while he was at the detention facility. literally every wednesday we spoke on the phone, 10, 15 hours of conversations and finally we arranged the logistics to be there when his family was reunited. >> what's being done to change the laws? >> it's a long road. there are a lot of immigration advocates saying, these are folks who yes, they have committed crimes, but they have contradicted greatly to american society. and they have family members, and ripping them away is a problem. but right now, because we're in the presidential election season, no one wants to spend the capital to make substantial change with the immigration law to make sure that it harm highses with the federal law. >> good to see you. fighting mosquitoes with mosquitoes. it's a new way to fight the zika virus.
7:40 pm
but it is also controversial. aljazeera's jonathan betz explains why. >> in the fight against mosquitoes -- key west, florida, could be the first in the nation to test a new method of killing mosquitoes, not with chemicals, but with other mosquitoes. >> it's a paradigm shift from blanket spraying, that killed lots of things, to one mosquito that's going to go out and kill another mosquito. >> reporter: experts are turning to controversial ideas to change the genes of mosquitoes, so when they breed, their offspring die. bugs built to last. like florida university, where scientists are leading the research. >> this mosquito is hard to kill with insecticides, and
7:41 pm
it's becoming more and more resistent. so we need new ways to control the population, and one of the ways is to use genetically modified mosquitoes. >> reporter: the idea is getting new urgency with the zika virus, and other countries like brazil have released the genetically modified mosquitoes, and saw an 80% drop in enter population, and now they're considering making key west the first testing grounds in the u.s. it's something that the neighbors are fiercely fighting. >> we don't feel like it's necessary, and its messing with nature, and messing with the choice of the people. >> reporter: homeowners worry that they will be guinea pigs to an idea that they feel needs more study. >> this is something that i don't have the choice about, so i don't get the opportunity to say i don't want a genetically
7:42 pm
modified mosquito to inject into my body. i have no idea. >> they said that the fears are not justified. they only intend to release males, which don't bite, and they don't pose a problem with people or the environment. >> we need to protect our citizens. this is one of the ways that i've been convinced it's a positive use. >> but critics worry that it's opening a new frontier in the fight between man and mosquito, relying on science more than nature. >> up next, the equal pay debate in soccer, the world champion women's team says that they make a fraction of what the men do, and they're suing over it. >> coming up next, hear what i'm doing to help girls like me read books about girls like me.
7:45 pm
>> the stars of u.s. women's soccer are speaking out today for he adequate. five members of the team are saying despite earning more revenue, they're earning less than their male counterparts. roz is here with that. >> reporter: the women are saying that they are learning less than their male counterparts on everything, from appearances to bonus uses.
7:46 pm
after a thrilling world cup win against japan in 2015, the u.s. women's parade was honored with a ticker tape parade in new york city. more than 23 million viewers watched the game. making it the highest rated soccer mach in u.s. history. that went along with four olympic gold metals are a record for a women's soccer team, unmatched by any other nation. there's unprecedented success generating revenue for the soccer federation, but it's not translated into equal pay for the women's team. >> we work just as much as the men, and endure just as much emotionally, and our fans appreciate us every day for that. >> reporter: but the suit claims that the women's team
7:47 pm
earns $72,000 a year, for a minimum of 20 match a year. for every match they win, they're paid a bonus of $1,050. though the men have been far less successful, for the same number of games, they make $100,000, and make more against higher ranked teams, $17,000 a day if they win. want women's lawyer says the disparity violates pay equity laws. >> when they asked for the same as the men, they were told that's irrational. that might be a good answer in 1968, but it's not a good answer. >> the u.s. soccer said that it will negotiate a new agreement with the women's national team when the current contract expires at the end of the year, but getting a pay raise based on merit -- >> the u.s. soccer has paid
7:48 pm
them less than the men. that said, for their next bargaining agreement, they do not want to be paid differently from the men, and this action today is the result of u.s. soccer saying, we will not pay you equal to the men even in the future. >> reporter: this comes even as the women's soccer is considering going on strike before the kickoff this august, and the federation said that that would hurt the growth of women's soccer here. >> wait, i think that we have a shot here. thinking about women's tennis, and the women play best of three, and the men play best of five, but in soccer, don't the women and the men play the exact same game. >> they do, tony. in you look at the field, the ball, the net, it's all 90 minutes, but the women's game is more popular right now. >> case closed, roxana, appreciate it, thank you.
