that now. yet it is at the hands of broadcast tv networks carry out when internet startup is airing the signals of the biggest broadcasters for free on line the networks are turning to the supreme court to try and stop them. so is korean broadcast tv about to fade to black. find out later in the shuffle. monday january thirty five pm here in washington d c it. i am as walling you're watching our team america. the nca and west virginia where hundreds of thousands of people are living without water water is trickling back for some residents but most are still going without it. water restrictions went into effect thursday in nine counties in west virginia when it was discovered seventy five hundred gallons of toxic

chemicals leaking out of the storage tank and instead now forever. fourteen people have been hospitalized of the three hundred thousand residents living under the banner. that's about ten thousand today we're told it's ok to turn the tap back on. the rest are told not to drink bathe or . with the water at this point there are many un known as it's unfair how many are harmed when it exactly happened and when the water will be safe once again. art occurs when amanda lopez has more on the health disaster from charleston don't you the olivier. the radio. my daughter anna saw the gum water like that so much that i rushed there. this is not helping him cope was planning to spend his day settling on a couple days it seems i do like kroger and other stuff into me get there just miss the bus and along with three hundred thousand residents of charleston west virginia is no scrambling to get his

hands on one of the most basic elements of my. a chemical spill from a local company for seminar room rate on land. make an unprecedented decision to use in the water with the exception of the museum the now local authorities are teaming up with the mother. the department of homeland security the national guard to get this crisis under control the water coming in by the truckload. i'm fine or brunch is normally used to house the station's trucks can turn into distribution point there. signed a line of cars as far as the eye can see i have a tomorrow the first day in the ugandan fifth of may as those who can drive walk to the station everyone just trying to get their hands on a case of water. it's non stop. every

time we bring a trophy in it's pretty much gone. this is quick with the court today and are still coming within minutes of grinding on me get the last day at the last one. around the border the winder has completely vanished. fire station to close as it's the wrong door and waits for the next shipment to mine. we got here maybe about twenty minutes ago our comic cut in as would come over parking lot harder as i think they're backed up all the way down washington street. it's the mean it's just too angry residents want to know how this happens there's nothing nothing no plants no preparation whatsoever to deal with this type of emergency the schaeffer people come begging for water. hopefully keep and her family a lot of the cauldron can stop the water flow in nine counties is accompanied few residents have never heard of

before. i ground zero of the chemical spill here in charleston west virginia right in front of freedom industries. the industry's is a company that produces chemical material. the cement steel and mining industries what is the behind me on mass of storage space. i'm careful thirty five thousand gallons of the chemical that they are producing here right at the on post orange pink and the elk river for one of the storage tanks only its tentacles into the grammar that was taking down the stream to a local water treatment facility. freedom industries didn't report the leak until thursday morning when residents complained of a strong licorice mallon the air the owner was seventy five hundred gallons of the chemical known as four men the cycle takes a nap methanol or if you see each camper shorts. if only he didn't use a clear call for ghosts the markets before this bill what little is known about the effects of the ncaa champ and there was no way to test for it in

the air or water nor its effects on humans. now investigators are continually testing the water waiting for the mca jam levels to get down below the epa is recommended one part per million before they flush the system and give residents the all clear at this point there are more questions than answers. like who decided to build a chemical plant upstream from a water treatment facility and would never in fact is igniting the stain it's not in this data into space without modern technology. but for now the residence of the sleepy southern city are still hunting for water and hoping that this crisis will the results soon. i think everybody is angry. i'm tired in charleston west virginia magnum up as our tea. some signs of hope for the crisis and syria us secretary of state john kerry is in paris meeting with his russian counterpart sergei lavrov. if

allied leaders discussed the possibility of negotiating a ceasefire and a three year long syrian civil war. rt correspondent your peace cannot reports. well one of the first things that we've heard from us at the jail stages that russia the us and un are completely on the same page. that's the only solution the prophet in syria is a diplomatic one. mr kerry also said that officer in the forties and the opposition are equally responsible for the atrocities committed there were also seen a slight shift on iran since though a lot about breaking the un special envoy on syria and sergei lavrov. people were saying that the water see that iran taken part in the geneva to conferences is a key player in the region this was something that the us was previously a guess but now according to the us secretary of state washington wouldn't mind seeing sarah and there. at geneva to this it's the supports the agreements reached earlier outside

the geneva one. now mr lavrov also said that the authorities and syria have now confirmed that the party to take part in the conference although one of the sticking points right now is that it's very un known whether or not the opposition is planning to do the same although we are possibly witnessing now. up the positives. then this is somewhat of a positive tendency when it comes to the relationship between the abilities that unravels in separate debate about possible exchanges of prisoners and allowing humanitarian aid to get in but according to sergei lavrov right now of the gaudy humanitarian aid. the rebels are the key obstacles. that's why moscow doesn't want seat the terror threat. the key issues to be discussed to be on the table there at the geneva to. but now they prefer to nothing about calls for president assad. heading to step down which is different from sunday since i yesterday. the french prime minister when he met with syrian opposition he did make these calls for the syrian

president to step down which showed that right now even though the key players now working on organizing this conference they are completely on the same pace when it comes to lots of key issues. some countries in the west are sending mixed signals which could theoretically undermine the success off the conference. that was aren't easy door pace going on. it's been months since the hunger strike at guantanamo bay officially ended the strike led to renewed calls for the us government to shock the beast down. this past weekend marked all the years since the first detainee said fight inside the controversial detention center mark the anniversary dozens of protesters staged demonstrations in the white house on saturdays some of them wearing orange jumpsuits and holding signs. bringing attention to the plight of guantanamo bay detainees there were also protests on the west coast art a correspondent for mongolian and takes us inside one of them in california. and it

has now been twelve years as the first detainees were sent to the notorious guantanamo bay prison in cuba. thousands of miles away from the prison here in southern california demonstrators are demanding that guantanamo be shut down the costs of operating the prison have tied into the billions and present obama says that he's committed to closing it is outrageous that these people being tortured. and that people are still not aware of a lot of people still believe that it's important because it's still there. and it's still going on. whether there's all this talk about closing it. and more people being released. it still this ridge above the net needs to decrease the first to shut down guantanamo the obama says that

the prisons are that the recruitment for extremists on congressional opponents claim that guantanamo is key to fighting terror. however some of those voices may be using their influence. i'm still about the last year too. congress members were hearing from constituents the guantanamo should not be clowns and the last year into their hearing more from constituents who say guantanamo should be closed and so i think this is very encouraging that the constituents who do speak up to do with its bid to keep this issue alive are having an effect people who were arrested who were detained and sold to the us government for the bounty and were never charged with the crying one hundred fifty five min remaining guantanamo. dozens of them have already been cleared for transfer. human rights act is about to keep fighting until the final

prisoner is released. in santa monica california ramon nothing will. margie the united states has the government of the people by the people for the people but which people. new research shows that for the first time in history the majority of federal lawmakers are millionaires it's the same conference with the honor of being the least productive on record and the lowest approval ratings after our tea is an era david has more what's the scene where that members of congress are on average wealthier than the rest of the country the average congressional salary alone leaves and about one hundred and seventy four thousand dollars. of course the wealth is not just about a bi monthly chat. rather it's about how much your work after finding out it's the net worth of lawmakers and really merits the most attention. every year since nineteen ninety c to roll call has examined the financial disclosures of all five hundred and thirty five lawmakers to determine the fifty richest members of congress. this year's report is based off of the numbers

from the two thousand fall calendar year. so without further ado let's take a look and mix for me chris are topping the list starting with number five west virginia senator jay rockefeller. lastly this as an all jay rockefeller is the great grandson of oil tycoon john d rockefeller he's clearly reaping the benefits and that we'll reach ancestry. the center is estimated to be worth at least eighty three point seven million dollars. his glossy accents include three separate ross said jpmorgan wells fargo and united national bank in charleston all worth at least eighty million dollars. so even though the senator has said he won't seek re election this year it is likely to be quite comfortable in retirement. he needs number for connecticut senator richard blumenthal. when elected in twenty ten blumenthal stood as the wealthiest incoming number of contacts and since and his net worth has skyrocketed. now standing at eighty five point three million plus in his mouth comes from the family of his

wife who happens to be the daughter of real estate mogul peter malkin. together their assets include a real estate company in sao paolo brazil and multiple manhattan properties including the engine sees at lease and operate the empire state building. now moving on to number three in virginia senator mark warner warner has been steadily moving up the money ladder over the years. this year is now with stands at ninety six point three million dollars about sixty six percent and that which are held in trusts warner most notably made his money early on as the co founder of the cellular company that would later become nextel. counting the number two spot texas representative michael mccall collins taking a stand and this here is slipping from a number one spot to number two hundred and fourteen million dollars in network mcconnell is still faring pretty well the majority of his assets are connected to his wife who happens to be the daughter of law remains the founder of clear channel communications

keep in mind clear channel is the umbrella company and likely owns the radio station you listen to you the company operates over one thousand stations. now finally to the number one spot this year's bridges congressman california caroline's at two thousand twelve was a very very kind here to representative lights up the sun as well throw over one hundred million dollars kingston year alone the congressman's network has now surged well be on to country sitting congressman to three hundred and fifty five point three million dollars before being elected to congress i send me the bulk of his fortune after founding director electronics a company that manufactures car alarms. the downside of that most of his money seems to heal from investments in the stock market. so there you have at the top five bridges congressman according to cq will call a strong financial markets are credited with making most members of congress even wealthier. in fact the median net worth of the fifty

richest raise more than seventeen percent this year now the numbers aren't so cut and dry. there is room for interpretation of the disclosure of points that lawmakers must fill out. one number and it's indisputable for the first time in history the majority of congress is now comprised of millionaires so as long as the markets continue to grow so will convert says millionaire's club in washington an irrigated rte. so at heeren rt twenty two states are reporting an outbreak of virus that's telling k collects what isn't in for fourth place is in your pocket. he tells me come back the moon. i married going on in part. for commentary. only

on about. the uk can liners edition may keep its place before the noun it's a virus that kills baby pigs is spreading throughout the country. the us department of agriculture says california and leo mean are the latest its report having pigs infected. what the core sign academic diary of everything total of two twenty two states where cane farms have the virus the first case in the last one was reported back in april and since then thousands of people it's half the night stand downs and six wines include diarrhea vomiting and severe dehydration. lucky for humans the virus does not make people say on the baby pandas but the body is causing pork prices to soar in and is sparking fears of a pork shortage minded out the pig virus i was joined earlier by dr michael gregory director of health and animal

agriculture at the humane society. he said that al qaeda reiterating that the virus is not dangerous to humans although the virus is found in feces and there's a widespread fecal contamination of the us for supply is not known to cause sickness and animals but the same factory farming practices that led to the emergence and spread of this danger stars for paige is also the same risky practices that have led to pathogens that can kill people. thousands of people like swine flu right now we're neck deep in flu season and the virus that skilling and affecting most americans now the flu virus is still each one and one this one to bounce immersed in two thousand non skilled over ten thousand americans infected sixty million americans and bad virus and a friendly time to factory farming practices the same practices that have now led to the start of the buyer can you talk more about these risky practice as on how the virus and is transmitted in mind this case only baby pigs or accent

the reason that these so called factory farms are in the breeding grounds for diseases because the sheer numbers of animals that overcrowding stressed in confinement. the lack of adequate ventilation of fresh air sunlight. but all these factors together you have to perfect storm and are meant for the merchant the spread of new bacteria and viruses and that's why the american health association's call for a moratorium on the stock to fund taxes because of the health implications of how we now read it. have we seen anything like this quite like this before. we are not this particular virus it suits the us as of last year but there've been a number of other similar viruses that are spent making matching. if you have healed over cut tens of thousands of pages in the school people call peel sessions july. snopes is not a compromise. you can see how it's just kind of viral incubator for these kind of diseases even if thousand and one hour later someone sneezes again allowed the banana get sick. and that's the problem with the packing so many animals

together so we really need to keep calm the health community school to get rid of these conifers and car parking is there but what is the so and you wouldn't expect this to think it's pretty basic and twenty two states in the case for dominion oh boy these pigs are you born in north carolina fat in the fields while often slaughtered in california we again or me can travel a thousand miles on the hopeful for rice to replace the treaty space like trading cards all across the country. you cannot stop the spurs want to spread and it really just relies on howell for the biosecurity is in these kind of facilities we can keep this fire is out in force and the concern is to not reveal the cube arses out the half human health implications as well. i now ominously two years old it's the economic implications of what is this doing to the hog industry and how it's affecting the prices food prices. personally concerned that that is going to be an increase in core prices but you know in some ways i can be a signal to the end she bought the industry cares about is the bottom line and

made the implications for people in terms of food safety are gonna do it well then maybe to know that they hit my pocketbook is going to have the industry. we think some of this practice to really move on we have good data showing that this portion of the diary of iris much higher risk. these industrial more effective forms compared to smaller form factor live pigs move around in and allowed outside and so maybe you don't see how the economic calculus for these. the reason i think pack a mall in its because you know who profit from price to pay twenty pack a man like him to park cars you can reduce that the per pound cost of production but when the sea to the cops they can be external lies on to society. then maybe the industry will think about changing a tire while now that we know it is certainly we know this i what can we as consumers do to help me to really exercise our war consumer purchasing power and demand for sample of knob creek report has been a big movement from its large

supermarket chains restaurants demanding that the pork industry at least not keep these mother paying scranton these little metal cages barely larger than buy for me to even turn around their whole lives neck and stress can lead to the detriment of the immune system that can increase the risk of disease the second half human half of the book that i would take time to be a vegetarian. i appreciate you coming on the show that was dr michael gregor health and animal agriculture. add to the humane society. now three supreme court case that kind decide the future of television. the nation's biggest broadcaster is our ceiling new york based tech company area now become an email of crying and ten as they allow anyone with an internet connection to want to lie in the tv. here's the county's average has another project. he went to watch live broadcast tv for free on the air with an antenna and cheerios. he then

attended the unbelievably small. i was going on and on to. the scene. when you can access them from the internet i want to live broadcast tv as the years. you can choose to keep. court tv and with that. pt on fox. while companies like cbs and nbc say this product enables ceiling because area does not pay a re distribution fees area on the other hand says it's a consumer's right to watch what their own and can act and homes of nights. now with that of the nation's highest court to decide. for more of what this means for the media industry christopher chambers ran nearly take is a journalism professor at georgetown university and started asking him what it would mean an area wins this case lol they were talking about a tsunami here because home very interesting read that the legal issue is very very defined and simple it's an interpretation of section one of six of the copyright act

which has been around a one form or another for two hundred years. the ability to be no demand fees or permission toronto based query of playing your content and of what area was saying as the club were not stealing anything worth releasing the base of the antennas of people can get the stuff and then play it or not stealing it or not appropriating it but what you've done is when you cut out these re transmission the sword re transmission fees were talking about billions of dollars that the networks get from say the cable companies and this allows the networks of course to extort money from the nfl or major league baseball or the nba to get the super bowl all kinds of cool things. so we're talking about in an ecosystem is going to basically go into and into meltdown. if this is all allowed to continue because video for dario you know they might survive they might not but would you kill the three distribution fees i'll buy it but by putting a mark of approval on this business model you will

fundamentally change to the broadcast ecosystem and that is going to be an upset a lot of people to the point where you know you've already had the chairman of fox and cbs they will just what has become a cable network. now you know to avoid that kind of stuffs being on on fox and cbs mind of rita a part of the statement from cbs to as they can expect is not happy about this technology. they say quote we believe the area's business model and similar offerings that operate on the same principle our bills on stealing the creative content of the others sailed kristen when you think ii is it time for these companies to kind of takes and that this is the change changing face of how consumers of news or news of the bizarre media serve content and adapt to or would you think. i think they need to adapt because it is not clearly you're using their old business model is working for everybody now you know that the problem with time warner cable in cbs the time

warner to back down. but you know their mark to market power of these broadcast networks and hollywood are generally two to some extent you seen it did become either way with the with the dean of the problems the controversy over so this is when even the old digital millennium copyright act. you have these tech giants like google and apple are getting into the content production of business you have netflix which amounts to you we have streaming capabilities and this training is based on cloud based technology which is something that dario the aerial case doesn't implicate because of what the networks are saying is we we we we have the right even tell off this cloud based form of content that you can draw upon privately. you know to get your own device so with the implications for this are very very clear the networks are going to lose power now they've been losing it for for years they still haven't because even though most people will watch network tv or old people like

me. um you know will die off eventually and the young people who were streaming house of cards on netflix or watching apple tv or going to be though you know they're going to inherit the earth an adult that the networks have a business model that contemplates that night and this is pretty much forcing them to contemplate that. now that's certainly a bit now it sits being concentrated in the second quarter. so i won every event from the area to see and hear in response to this case the supreme court they say quote we look forward to presenting our case to the center in the supreme court. we had every confidence that the court will validate and preserve. consumers are rights as a way that what it's about chris consumers right now it's about money but if he would they have a ploy to me the point is that the consumer. basically leases their equipment they're not stealing anything they're basically been the intermediary for the broadcast content. and

the us of core of appeals for the second circuit agreed with that. on the people you tend to think about that to the intermediate appeals court has agreed with ariel and it goes the supreme court he's got eight justices hearing it because justice though. justice alito for kim's them self to bed before four times and there might be dario wins. so this is their way of tasty put no fun in the eye of the broadcast networks. i note that the broadcast networks are going to become cable network so they just put all the content on cable. i think that that's just an idle threat. but i think it's an idle threat of somebody who's used to having a lot of power and then on sloth like a bully who gets bullied back and they just act crazy and say whatever comes to comes to mind because their shareholders certainly have not located this. so there is a lot of trepidation the soapy but does not make comments off the cuff like that much for edwards to shut down well that's the assets of this am but one thing at this point that is people do not wanna pay for the media they can get for

free if they can somehow exactly how bad the condition that a tv up chris street and the ministry of highways that was christopher chamber is a journalism professor at georgetown university look if the knee and elbow world as we know and nasa space telescope has found a quote potentially hazardous asteroid hurtling through space currently about twenty seven million miles from earth asteroid is about going to four miles in diameter significantly larger than the media that greek panic and rush of last winter. now for the ten years according to nasa calculations the asteroid won't get really close to the third rock from the sun for another one hundred a year so hopefully that's enough time for scientists to come up with a solution. that is going to do for an hour walk i met liz long. thanks for watching i just knew he was

new . what sadie with us on this edition of nice line its two stage anyway fourteen and catherine comanche until camp protest is in fact that it's in the thai capital bangkok and blocking intersections and tying traffic in knots they say that keith added throughout the day. there were chatting up the pressure on prime is seen much in and wants to step down. more than one hundred thousand protesters
