currently held by sir elton john who has played 64 shows. on jewel 1st billy joel performs the 65th concert in manhattan. >> food for him. bill: a lot of piano man. a lot of bread in my jar. we have to roll. "happening now" starts right now. jon: massive cyber breach striking the u.s. government exposing the personal information of millions of americans. names, addresses, social security numbers. the question is, who is behind it? and how far does it reach. good morning to you on this friday. i'm jon scott. >> good to see you. i'm jamie colby in for jenna lee. the breach of the office of personal management was designed to steal information covertly, not to cripple systems. right now china is the prime suspect. jon: one year ago the u.s. indicted five members of china's people's liberation army,

accusing them of stealing data from american businesses. peter doocy has the information live from washington. peter? >> reporter: jon some of the four million victims could be employees at intelligence agencies, people who make great efforts to conceal their identities possibly betrayed by insufficient cybersecurity at the office of personnel management which basically does hr for all of d.c. and has vitals on just about everybody that works for uncle sam. the early word is hackers responsible are working for the chinese government. so we asked the chinese embassy here in washington, what's up with that? this is part of the denial they sent back. quote, cyber attacks conducted across-countries are hard to track and therefore the source of attacks is difficult to identify. jumping to conclusions and making hypothetical accusations is not responsible and counter productivity. a virginia firm called eyesight tells us, the malware used in this attack, matches malware that penetrated systems at anthem health care earlier this

year. this particular hack happened the at end of last year back in december. but for some reason the dhs system for stopping outside forces from getting in called einstein was very slow to detect it. we're learning about this now. has lawmakers whose staff members may have been affected by the breach up in arms. so the chairman of the senate intel committee richard burr is now calling for some more proactive security measures because he is not satisfied with simply calling people after their data falls into the hands of hackers. the fbi they take cyber threats very seriously. and working on tracking hackers this morning. jon? jon: scary stuff. peter doocy in washington. peter, thank you. we want to hear from you. how concerned are you about this massive government data breach? our live chat is up and running. go to foxnews.com/happeningnow. get your thoughts into the conversation. >> meanwhile the family of a terrorist suspect killed in boston said showed no signs of

radicalization. members of an anti-terror task force shot usaama rahim tuesday authorities say he lunged at officers with a knife and refused to drop it. federal investigators say he and his nephew talked about beheading conservative activist pam geller before turning their sights on law enforcement. molly line as the story in boston. hi molly. >> reporter: hi jamie. the family of a rahim is holding private services and burial today. they are calling for a full and transparent investigation. family members spoke out yesterday detailing their surprise with this. they got a chance to watch the surveillance video of the conflict with police that led to the death of rahim. authorities say the video taken outside of a drugstore shows members of the joint terrorist task force approaching r question him. it is alleged he pulled it this roughly foot long black fighting knife and lunged at

investigators. police say video shows law enforcement officers backing away. a ultimately a boston police officer and fbi agent opened fire. they allowed members of the muslim community and civil right to view footage. out of deference to the family not to provide video to the public after rahim's funeral. they will have plans to finalize but can't say what that will be. they posted on information on facebook claimed he had been shot in the back. family representative said that the information was received from a third party near the time of the death and the response was that of a man whose youngest brother had just been killed. take a listen. >> imam rahim will reserve comments and keep an open mind until more information is provided. we now know that we simply did not have all the facts at that time. >> reporter: this is an ongoing

investigation. jamie you mention ad nephew. that is one individual also taken into custody as part of this investigation. and in the add, there is mention of a third person. but at this point a third person has not been arrested. there is active scene in the warwick, rhode island area. we're also monitoring that. jamie. jenna: carrying out anti-terror measures they say. thank you molly. jon? jon: the u.s. labor department reported that companies added 280,000 jobs in may. that was more than expected. let's see how the numbers are moving wall street. the dow down about 11 points right now. joining us from the fox business network, lauren simonetti to break down those numbers. >> reporter: jon the market has been all over the place. 280,000 jobs were added much much better than expected. construction health care companies hired the most but we saw broad based gains. that is a really good thing. so is recent uptick in wages.

workers getting paid average 8 cents an hour more to about $25. if you look at this on an annual basis wages have barely moved. if you look at median family incomes, follow me here, going back to 1988, a quarter of a century adjusted to inflation they're exactly the same. this is troubling message to the federal reserve. how do poll at this makers balance wage growth to unemployment rate approaching what is considered full employment? the answer is still unclear. that one of the reasons stocks are down a it about. like i said they have been all over the place. the other issue of course jon, is greece. jon: so, greece is affecting the market very much? >> reporter: yeah, because we have major meeting going on right now with the greek prime minister. also you have to remember greece is so tiny. it is physical size of the state of alabama. it looks like it will postpone the first debt payment to european creditors today. people are nervous about that. if they default that means

greece can not stay in the eurozone and can't use the euro currency that could spread contagion to other nations in europe. we're watching that as well. we're watching price of oil holding at $58 a barrel. opec just voted they will not cut production. and that is a big thing for people who fill up the gas tank. it means we still have plenty of oil coming on the market. opec is doing that because they need to protect their oil and market share. jon: greece the size of alabama, around economy there about the size of dallas as i understand it. >> reporter: a city, u.s. city. size of one of our states and economy size of one of our cities making this mess. jon: lauren simonetti. thank you very much. >> reporter: thanks, jon. >> it goes down but must come up. hang in there. gloves are off in 2016 election. hillary clinton blasting four potential republican rivals accusing them from stopping americans from voting. our political panel will weigh in on that.

epa getting ready to regulate emissions from airplanes. why some think new rules could mean much higher fares. a "star wars" fan facing charges. why a storm trooper costume created panic. jon: what? only glucerna has carbsteady clinically proven to help minimize blood sugar spikes. so you stay steady ahead.

jamie: right now some crime headlines we're following for you. there is a manhunt underway for a 45-year-old new jersey man charged in the fatal stabbing of his ex-girlfriend. people say michael itel attacked carol brown in the driveway of her south jersey home. she had active restraining order. two agents were robbed at gunpoint. st. pete's burke police released a sketch of the suspect. two female realtors were attacked while showing homes. massachusetts man was dressed like a "star wars" storm trooper that prompted elementary school to go into lock down.

40-year-old george cross was walking outside of the school with what the principal believed was a gun. turns out the weapon was a fake. the principal wasn't taking any chances and called police. he was released after pleading not guilty to loitering. jon: from "star wars" to the 2016 campaign which is heating up just a bit. hillary clinton blasts four of her potential republican rivals by name including rick perry. clinton speaking in perry's home state of texas yesterday accusing the former governor of trying to stifle voting rights. listen. >> here in texas former governor rick perry signed a law that a federal court said was actually written with the purpose of discriminating against minority voters. jon: talk about with phillip bump, writer for "washington post" politics blog, the fix. the christopher bedford, senior editor of the daily caller.

gentlemen, rick perry was on "fox & friends" this morning he responded to what hillary clinton had to say. i want to play that thing for you as we kick this thing off. >> i think it makes sense to have a photo i.d. to be able to vote. when i got on the airline to come up here yesterday i had to show my photo i.d. hillary clinton may have not had to show an i.d. to get on an airplane in a long time. people of state of texas who she is i can taken on. that law was passed by people of state of texas. she went into my home state and dissed every person who supports having an identification to either get on an airplane or vote. jon: she not only took on rick perry. she took on scott walker, jeb bush, chris christie, named them all. christopher why? >> i think she has to. hillary clinton is in a little bit of trouble right now. she is getting hit by bernie sanders. she is getting hit by elizabeth warren. she is getting hit hard by every presidential candidate. the economy is doing badly. outside of new york city and

l.a. people don't care about things emailing out. emailing about lgbt high school issues. she needs to talk about voter disenfranchisement if that exists. needs to talk about the economy. this is the turn for her to take the gloves off to start swinging. things are not so good in her home court. president obama under attack by unions. unions under attack by environmentalists. she needs to push herself above the fray and start punching down against republican candidates. jon: phillip he used that phrase if that exists referring to voter fraud. how much of an issue is it? >> there are a lot of issues ability of people to vote for reports of fraud. in-person voter fraud study done last year, out of one billion votes casts 31 instances. there is not a problem in-person voter fraud. there is made to be problem so much overlap an poll at this and politics. for several years what hillary clinton is doing both being very deliberate about trying to bolster her base, which to the

point that was just made that is what she is doing now with the democratic nomination process. also this is the thing that makes sense politically for democrats broadly just not her campaign. jon: phillip, tick sticking with that early voting plays to hillary clinton's campaign strengths more than her opponents. here is what you vote. i don't have to read it to you. but viewers want to know. democrats historically turn people out to the polls. field programs calling on voters knocking on doors, been core component of labor unions in decades in part because republican voters, i'm sorry voters vote more regularly. democrats have designed systems aimed at bolstering their bottom line. >> right. jon: so, you're saying that hillary clinton is sort of protecting her base by making these complaints about early voting restrictions? >> well there is two things. she called for, making the voter registration automatic.

anyone who turns 18 is able to vote instantaneously. also to extend early voting. particularly referring to early voting. when you have 20 extra days to turn people out to the polls campaigns better turning people out to the polls get voters out to the polls. at end of the day is about putting as many voters in the bank as you can. democrats having longer period of time of makes sense from a political standpoint. jon: it has been pointed out governor kasich from ohio was on "america's newsroom" this morning, christopher, pointing out new york has no early voting. she was going after ohio, for its early voting period, early voting requirements which has something like 28 days. >> soon as you pull back the curtain on almost anything she says back into her private life, income inequality and look how much money she is pulling in things look a little messed up. as phillip said this is perfect example of politics informing ideas and informing policy republicans don't have the voter

machine that democrats have. they don't have the black churches which hillary clinton really needs to turn out at same level that barack obama did. they don't have the unions doing stuff. if you walk into the average republican volunteer base, high schoolers making phone calls. they do not have the infrastructure to compete on early voting. of course they're not going to actually push for that. whereas hillary has every incentive in the world to push for that. jon: christopher bedford from "the daily caller." phillip bump from "the washington post." gentlemen, enjoy your weekend. jamie: there are some new developments to tell you about in a river cruise tragedy. hundreds of lives lost as a boat flips over in massive storm. the effort to uncover more victims. new revelations on the mental state of james holmes the aurora theater massacre alleged killer. what this could mean for the accused mass murder's defense. >> he carried out shootings and related behaviors deliberately and methodically. he knew beforehand that his

jon: right now crews at the scene of a river cruise disaster and shifting from rescue to recovery efforts. this after a cruise ship capsized during a storm on china's yangtze river on monday. crews were using crains to raise the overturned vessel as divers continue to search for victims. about 100 bodies have been recovered thus far. hundreds more are feared dead. less than 20 people survived. emergency officials say this could be china's worst boat disaster in decades. jamie: you know we've been following closely the colorado movie theater massacre trial.

there are some new developments to report today. there is a state psychiatrist who evaluated james holmes and testifying that he believes he is mentally ill but he knew right from wrong when he opened fire in that movie theater? 2012. jurors have watched 22 hours of video over six days of the doctor questioning holmes. dr. william reed telling jurors that holmes did not suffer as he has alleged from delusions. >> i want to ask you if you formed an opinion as to whether or not the defendant was flurriedly psychotic or suffered a psychotic break on the 19th or 20th of with2012? >> my opinion is there is no indication of at all that mr. holz was, i will use the phrase flurriedly psychotic. jamie: we have a former criminal attorney and former prosecutor.

ladies you almost need to be a psychiatrist to understand the distinctions that the doctor is making but let me ask you ashley the burden of proof is somewhat interesting in colorado. who has the burden of proving sanity or insanity in this case? >> well it's a death penalty case. so that is a little bit different for us. the state has to prove he knew the difference between right and wrong at the time he committed the offense. so what we normally understand as a mental illness it can overwhelm you and it can be in your actual case but it doesn't rise to the level of you not knowing the difference of right or wrong it does not help you in a criminal case. that is a criminal standard, whether or not the defendant actually knew the difference between right and wrong at the time he committed the offense. jamie: his behavior could be bizarre before, we've seen it many times in cases where the behavior is bizarre after but that very moment. i remember being on the air when

the police were searching, we have video to show our viewers to remind them the home, the apartment of this suspect that had been booby-trapped. a complicated pattern of wires and explosives that didn't happen overnight. how influential is that in a case like this, that a suspect went to the trouble of, perhaps if he didn't return home and cops did that someone would be severely injured or killed? >> i think it is extremely influential, jamie. i think dr. reed is proving to be a powerful prosecution witness. that is his main point. james holmes planned this in advance. he hid the planning from his treating dr. doctor, dr. fenton. he purposely wore body armour. made it look like he used a sell phone to step out of the theater around put a metal clamp on the door presumably to prevent people escaping and people coming in to stop him. his point is that these are person with rational thought

process, plans in advance, not someone who doesn't know the difference between right or wrong. if i'm the prosecutor i'm arguing these are telltale signs of a cold premeditated attack of a killing as opposed to someone who was legally insane at the time. >> the this particular jury has sat through 22 hours of interviews of james holmes. ashley, because we can suspect at this point he is not going to take the stand, but they're getting a pretty good sense of his mind his state of mind and what his intent was and motive by those interviews but that is an awful lot of information for a jury to process. how difficult is it for an attorney on a case like this in defense mode to get a jury to focus just on what they think is relevant? >> well, this is very difficult because it is essentially a battle of the experts. you have the state's expert and you listened to actual testimony of mr. of mr. holmes, just not on the stand. they had to listen to the actual

testimony of his. that is helpful to the defense because it helps personalize mr. holmes. helps see him as person. that is important in the death penalty phase if we get to the death penalty phase. but at this point it is very damaging for them to see how much he suffered from mental illness. they will be scared of him. they will not want to let him out. so they're going to be more likely to convict him based on listening to this very disturbing testimony that he is giving through this doctor. jamie: i would think anna, given the strong burden of proof the prosecutor has in this case it is difficult to know when to actual rest? >> yes. i agree with you. it is difficult to know when to rest given facts and circumstances. they're using building blocks with dr. reed's testimony. keep in mind, dr. reed was court appointed expert. he was not an expert retained by the prosecution. to gather about ashley's point personalizing the defendant, i think this video if anything shows the jury he had intent and

knew what he was doing at the time and he had rational thought processes. for instance he told dr. reed he purposely did not shoot at officers when he got apprehended because he didn't want to get shot at and his mission was accomplished. these are thought processes that someone who doesn't know the difference between right and wrong they don't necessarily think that way. the prosecution is making good advances trying to prove their case. jamie: very, very interesting witness who says he has psychotropic or psychiatrist disease but possibly not full schizophrenia. for this jury to determine the difference and make a judgment my hats off to them. i commend them for their office service. thanks for clarifying it all. we'll continue to follow the case. jon? jon: while colorado deals with that trial and the aftermath of the shooting this was caught on camera. a tornado taking shape over the northern rockies, unusual there. the latest on the damage after a rash of twisters and the new threat of severe weather.

plus the pentagon briefing on the fight against isis, nine months after president obama made it official. who is winning right now the u.s. or isis? >> we will degrade and ultimately destroy isil through a comprehensive and sustained counterterrorism strategy. we will hunt down terrorists who threaten our country wherever they are. that means i will not hesitate to take action against isil in syria as well as iraq.

jamie: right now i want to give you a quick look what's still to come this hour of "happening now." the epa is getting ready to impose emission rules on airlines. some say it will keep our air clean. others say get ready for another hit to your wallet when buying airline tickets. how do you get a colony of sea lions off your dock? you get an orca to scare them away. why this killer whale was anything but but he was friendly when a west coast port put him to work. don't forget the west coast lottery tickets that you stashed away. you could be a multimillionaire and not even know it. meet a plumber who finally checked his old tickets and got a great surprise. jon: fox extreme weather alert now. dozens of homes damaged in colorado after tornadoes hit parts of that state, including the town of simla where the

funnel cloud was caught on camera. at least two tornadoes confirmed there. fortunately no injuries were reported. the storm system brought damaging hail. we have more flooding in northwest missouri. the town of mosby is still trying to recover from last month's washout. alicia acuna is live in bertha, colorado for us now. alicia? >> reporter: hi jon. you mentioned there were no injuries reported. in part because emergency officials can not get to some of the flooded areas. it is quite remarkable no one was hurt. if you look at the home behind my, i'm in berthoud colorado. a dozen were damaged after two tornadoes touched down. the whole neather in denver troh area north was pretty violent. here are couple of people from the area describing what happened and what they heard as these storms set in. take a listen.

>> there was nowhere to people. we don't have, we don't have a basement. the animals are scattered. we didn't have time to get them. all we thought about was getting my family. >> this is coming directly at us. but i just kept staring at it. and as it moved, it devoured my neighbor's house, just ate it. and then, at that moment it stopped. it just stopped then started to move sideways. just about 200 feet to the north. >> reporter: the way it has been described, jon by folks who live here and emergency officials is that these two tornadoes landed pretty much at same time and they skipped around and jumped around and which can be nature of tornadoes. there is no long swath you see in places such as oklahoma of the damage still very surprising

and very devastating n addition, folks are being told about it national weather service to expect even more rain, more bad weatherer later on this afternoon before things really cool off in the late evening. they're being told to stay away from specific places due to the flooding that is there. a lot of the roads are closed. some areas have been evacuated. there was also a big hailstorm that hit last night that hit in the denver area as well. folks are out with their shovels trying to clear roads and get things out of their neighborhoods because, there was marble-sized hail but it was a substantial amount, enough to cause concern for folks here. so jon right now there is a cleanup effort underway. there are people in shelters right now. they're awaiting the next round of storms to hit this whole area. jon? jon: what a mess. alicia acuna thank you. ♪ jamie: a u.s. air force general is holding a news conference on. ongoing battle against isis. and nine months after president

obama vowed to degrade and ultimately destroy the terrorists results have been mixed. national security correspondent give give joining me -- jennifer griffin is joining me live from the pentagon. good to see you. >> reporter: lt. general john hester man is just about to begin a briefing for pentagon reporters by phone from his headquarters in the middle east. lots of questions for him why the air war is doing so little to push isis back in iraq and syria. as of midnight june 3rd the u.s. conducted 4347 airstrikes. of those the u.s. carried out 3393 airstrikes. the problem is the airstrikes have had little overall effect in terms of pushing isis back despite pentagon claims otherwise. today the air campaign hit another glitch because the iraqi f-16 pilots and technicians that the is training in jordan went on strike after their salaries were cut by iraq's defense minister by 80%.

general stan mackris tall explained the limits of air power to shepard smith. >> i think airstrikes will help but they will in reality not be decisive militarily. they will build confidence of iraqi soldiers on the ground and maybe other coalition forces. >> reporter: maps of what territory isis held at the start of the air war back in august, shows after 300 days of bombing and more than 3800 airstrikes isis holds more territory. former military commanders say one of the problems the time it takes for u.s. pilots to get permission to strike isis targets. >> you're talking about hours in some cases which by that time the particular tactical target is left the area and or the aircraft is run out of fuel. approximately 25% of the aircraft that have been sent out on strikes sorties release ordnance. in other words 75% return home

not releasing ordnance. >> reporter: these very questions will be put to general hesterman during the pentagon briefing that just begun. jamie: jennifer, keep us updated. thank you so much. jon: back on the campaign trail now, four democratic candidates are officially running for the white house as the number of republican candidates increases to 10. so how are the media doing covering the campaign so far? let's bring in our media panel. judith miller, pulitzer prize-winning investigative reporter author and fox news contributor ellen ratner bureau chief for talk radio news services and a fox news contributor. give us your overall assessment, ellen. so far you have four democrats as we mentioned, 10 republicans in the field. how are the media doing? >> the media decided who they want to run and who they want to cover and that's what they're covering. in my view they're giving these nice a huge pass and not asking questions. everybody knows i'm a democrat but hillary clinton has not

given, except for one press briefing. my advice if i were her people start talking to the press. jon: if you're not named hillary clinton it is pretty hard to get coverage on the democratic side isn't it, judy. >> virtually impossible. i agree with ellen the press decided already inned a vans of a referendum on any part of the american people who is serious candidate and who is not. if you're rick perry, for example, you're a very serious candidate who is the was longest serving governor of texas a major state executive experience, one of only two candidates with military experience he got less than 15 minutes, 15 seconds of airtime. this is ridiculous. we are not supposed to be advising candidates and we're not supposed to be judging them. we're supposed to let the american people do that. >> what is interesting about him -- jon: let me interrupt, 15 seconds of airtime for instance on abc news world tonight. the other major networks similar

numbers. >> similar numbers. even printed press did not give him very much time and attention. this is very serious candidate and i don't understand how people covering a campaign, honestly and without fear or favor, can decide that he doesn't merit another look. jon: governor of a state, 27 million people. jon: you know -- >> but the issue is honestly what they have done, is they decided that ted cruz makes good copy and george, sorry and jeb bush is sort of a texas guy. so they're giving hose two a lot of -- those two a lot of press but not to governor perry. jon: you're shaking your head? >> no. i think they're pretty much decided this race will shape up as a bush v. clinton race and that everybody else doesn't really merit coverage. rand paul wasn't taken seriously until his filibuster, until he managed to change american surveillance patterns even now he is not taken seriously as a candidate by many. >> you know, we come sometimes

from opposite ends of the political spectrum but we agree on this the press is just, they're being derelict in their duty in my view. jon: but obviously whoever inherits the oval office the next time around, i loose that term loosely whoever occupies oval office has a world of problems. the growth of isis, that kind of thing. can the press say it is early in the process and maybe we ought to let the parties winnow down the field before we give serious coverage to the candidates? >> i think the press has decided hillary clinton's refusal to meet with us is unacceptable. i think you heard of that fenn and again. a lot of digging into her foundation donations, things like that. i can't say that the breast has gone out of its way to assemble a list of where the candidates are on the key issues that the american people care about. we are not being proactive.

we're being very reactive and also being very judgmental if hillary clinton won't talk to the press. maybe the press should stop covering hillary clinton. >> that would be my advice. if you're going to be a candidate and you're not going to talk to the press why should we cover you? are we doing it for decoration? because is all it really is. jon: carly fiorina on the republican side, a lot of people consider her a long shot but she has answered just about every question put to her. she released incredibly-detailed financial records about she and her husband's wealth. >> she has been a surprising candidate to most people but once again, jon look at the amount of coverage for her? can most americans begin to tell you where she is on major issues? by the way she is one of the few candidates who has laid out a very specific agenda and a very, been very clear where she stands on major issues. jon: she is one of those that the press decided isn't going to make it and therefore they're not going to cover her? >> they cover her attacks on

hillary, the front running democrat but they don't take her seriously. >> if you ask the reporter where she stands not asking the average american, the average reporter they can't tell. >> that's right. jon: we will continue to watch as this race heats up and shapes up. ellen ratner judy miller. thank you both. jamie? jamie: the death toll is rising from a fiery explosion at a gas station. why the recovery effort is taking so long. the epa is taking on the airlines over emissions and clean air but how will these new regulations affect the price of your next plane ticket?

jon: coming up on the noon hour here on the east coast that means "outnumbered." harris, andrea what do you have? >> at many as 10 additional guantanamo bay detainees could be transferred with as many as

dozen set free. the isis terror group is getting stronger. so is letting them go a good idea? >> a big spike in violent crime in many large cities in the u.s. some are saying that police have been spooked out of doing their jobs after a nationwide anti-police protest. >> miss piggy, wins an award, for feminism. or she we make that ms. piggy? seriously do we need to mix politics with the muppets. >> i wonder did kermit present her with the award? plus our #oneluckyguy, the judge straight in from miami back at top of the hour. jon: oscar the grouch is not happy about all this i'm sure. we'll see you then. >> all right. jon: some new information on a story we told you about yesterday. the death toll is rising from a massive explosion and flooding in ghana's capital city. at least 150 people were killed when a fuel leak at a gas station sparked a huge explosion and fire that spread to nearby buildings. there were dozens of people at

the gas station all looking for shelter from heavy downpours on the night of the blast. and floodwaters they're hammering the rescue and recovery efforts. the death toll expected to rise. jon: the environmental protection agency ready to impose new rules on airlines for emissions that jets produce. unlike cars and trucks on the highways, epa has not regulated airplane emissions in the past. supporters say the new rules will keep our air cleaner and make airplanes more efficient. critics say the rule will just raise ticket prices and hit passengers where it counts, in the wallet. rich edson with more on this live from washington. rich? >> reporter: jon, industry sources and environmental groups saying that the epa will announce a determination that airplane emissions contribute to global warming endanger human health. so it will begin regulating how much carbon they can release into the atmosphere. conservative groups say the regulations are unnecessary.

they will lead to further increases in ticket prices because they say the airline industry is among the most efficient already as more fuel they save the more in profits they make. >> airlines already have a tremendous incentive to reduce fuel burn and reduce co2 emissions right now. they are incentivized within limits but they will need government regulation to push them to higher limits. the fact of the matter though, is that airlines are the largest remaining uncontrolled source of greenhouse gases in the transportation sector. >> reporter: the epa says american airplanes are responsible for about 3% of all u.s. greenhouse gas emissions and about 1/3 of all greenhouse gas emissions among aircraft worldwide of the obama administration use ad similar regulation process to limit emissions among cars trucks power plants. a group representing airlines, airlines for america it supports international emission

standards. some virtual groups say those standards are too lax. they both expect to discuss internation airplane emission standards at the e.u. summit in germany next week. jon? >> rich edson in washington. thank you. jamie: do you have any old lottery tickets lying around? you may want to check them after our next story. wait until you hear a plumber who tracked a powerball ticket to the wall, he tacked it not tracked it. he forgot about it for weeks. there is good news. there is a problem you don't see every day. hundreds of sea lions clogging a west coast port. how do you get them to move? port workers came up with a plan. they had a killer solution. don't worry, nobody got hurt. >> i hope it works. we're so tired of listening to those sea lions.

jamie: at least it sounded like an innovative idea to drive away large pests on the coast of oregon. they're cute and everything, but when they all pile up it's a mess but it went belly-up. hundreds of sea lions crowded docks at port of astoria, making noise and you know that mess, interfearing with operations even. so the port didn't have funding for a barrier. what did they do? they outfitted a small boat to look like an orca, a sea lion's mortal enemy. the idea was to drive the fake killer whale past the dock to scare the sea lions away. didn't go act exactly as planned as the whale sealed into view it looks like a jail. a large swim capsized fake okayca. it capsized.

started to sink. sea lions got quiet. sat still. watched a dramatic fish tale unfold and certainly didn't come to its rescue. jon: i think they will need a bigger whale. a plumber who needed cash to fix his truck got way more than that after checking some old lottery tickets. david lee sill hears that story. david? >> reporter: jon question, what were you doing on march 14th? 56-year-old staten island plumber anthony perosi will never forget that day. he bought a powerball ticket at convenience store. played usual numbers at drawing. later the same day he was the sole winner of the $136 million prize. what did he do? nothing. absolutely nothing. that is because he didn't realize he had won. days later a helpful friend told him, a school teacher bought the winning ticket. anthony thinking he was a loser put his ticket along with others

beside a pipe in his basement. that is when this story might have ended except for some bad luck. six weeks later anthony's truck broke down giving him a little time to rupert minute nate on powerball. he decided to check numbers of tickets to see if any had value. it was a life-changing moment. >> i took the kickkets and i checked them on computer. i saw they matched looking at computer, look act ticket looking at computer. i was just like, tried to breathe in. nothing would go in. i thought i was having a heart attack and my heart stopped. i grabbed ticket figure they find it in my hand. i finally exhaled. [laughing] >> anter any says he will split the prize with his son. 38 million and change after taxes for anthony. about 16 million for his 27-year-old son. not too wad bad for a ticket that could have easily been thrown away. jon: david lee miller in the newsroom.
