coming up later on. the white house has been lobbying hard for a piece of legislation the republicans were happy to approve but democrats today told the white house no. so it's the obama white house getting support from republicans but losing the ibssue today in congress because they lost democrats. this is the trade deal. it is an ongoing political story. that kind of a big democratic split is a rare and precious thing in our politics these days. we have eyes on that. also news tonight from nepal. nepal coping with a huge after shock earthquake today. six u.s. marines mopping those missing. there's an american hostage whose period of captivity hit 1,000 days today. reporting from nepal and that american hostage story coming up. our feature story is the result of an investigation we have been working on for some time now. it's an exclusive story, that is

coming up in a moment. i will warn you it is both a story you will not hear anywhere else and also a slightly scary story but you we have that coming up in just a moment. we start with unexpected news in the presidential race. if you know one thing about the race for the presidency in the you united states, you know that it starts in iowa. the perceived front-runner for the nomination for president this year has just today decided that he will not start in iowa. "the "des moines register"" first to report that republican presidential front-runner jeb bush will skip the kickoff to the iowa caucuses this year. he will skip the iowa straw poll. now there are a few reasons this is not a huge shock. the first of which is that everybody hates the iowa straw poll. the iowa straw poll is a forced fund-raiser for that state's republican party. they charge candidates something like $35,000 each for the

privilege of erecting a tent. they let candidates buy votes by bussing people in and paying for their tickets to the event and buying them food and entertainment. so to do well at this straw poll, the candidates have to come in, they have to spend a ton of money that all goes to the iowa state republican party. they have to make a super hard right pitch to the most conservative elements of the already conservative iowa republican party which might be fine in iowa but doesn't necessary necessarily help a top tier candidate as he or she gets ready to move on next to a less conservative state like new hampshire. what's the point of it? mitt romney did win the straw poll that year, but that wasn't the year he won the nomination. that wasn't even the year he went on to win the iowa caucuses. he won the straw poll in 2007

but then so what? the next election cycle, the straw poll winner was michele bachmann. and that year mitt romney went on to get the nomination. it's not even like it picks a winner anymore if it ever did. it is a nonpredictive scam of a corrupt contest. everybody hates it. still, though, there's a couple reasons why this decision by jeb bush today is potentially a big deal and why getting this news today from the jeb bush folks was a surprise. the iowa republican party realizes this year that they have really screwed things up. so badly they have put the concept of iowa being first in the nation at risk. a lot of other states, a lot of people involved with the political process are fed up with iowa getting to go first given how iowa has handled that responsibility in recent years. in the last election cycle in 2012 the republican caucuses

themselves were so screwed up nobody even knew who won the iowa caucuses for weeks. not the straw poll. i'm talking about the actual caucuses. even know it's not crystal clear who won the iowa caucuses in 2012. at one point they said mitt romney won them. at one point rick santorum won. then they said it was a tie. when it came time to award iowa's delegates towards the actual republican nomination for president, they didn't give them to either of those guys. they gave the delegates to ron paul. sure, why not? in the wake that much debacle with a iowa republicans realize that had they looked very bad and that it was hard for them to justify getting all this attention and money and everything else they get for being first in the nation. and so iowa republicans have recently realized that in order to hold on to their first in the nation status they're going to have to get their act together, get themselves together, run a less tebl less chaotic, less obviously correct process so in

the last couple of years we have seen them try to shape up. we've got one republican state senator from iowa going to presidentison for taking bribes during the iowa republican caucus process in 2012. they've kicked the ron paul people out of the state party leadership. whether or not you think that's a good thing, iowa republicans feel they have some semblance of the party establishment back in charge instead of the ron paul folks they felt not only didn't do a good idea but were unpredictable and working at pros purposes to the rest of the party. they promised the caucuses will be less thunderously corrupt and chaotic and there might be a winner people believe really won it. also, they want pem to take a straw poll seriously again. they moved the straw poll for this year out of ames iowa to boone, with aiowa. they did that so that it would be cheaper. they also stopped charging campaigns something like ed$35,000

for a tent at the straw poll as of this year. the new party chairman wrote an op-ed saying it would no longer be a pay to play event. they're getting their act together at this straw poll as the kickoff of with aiowa being first in the nation for 2016. they expected all the major candidates to take the straw poll seriously even if they didn't before. so jeb bush being first out of the gate unexpectedly today to say, no iowa no forget it, i'm not even going. saying he has another commitment that he's going to keep in atlanta instead, something called the red state gathering in atlanta. that news today from jeb bush. that unsolicited announcement from jeb bush. that was a big one finger salute to the republicans of iowa. and they are taking it that way. the chairman of the state party telling the "des moines register" today we hope governor bush rethinks his decision and realizes the grassroots will only grow in iowa if he waters

them them. the red state goerg is a four-day event and other candidates have indicated that they'll be attending both red state and the iowa straw poll. we don't buy this excuse. from governor bush and neither will iowans. other candidates have backhanded iowa in the past. mitt romney, john mccain, some others have chosen to skip the straw poll some years. but jeb bush is going out of his way three months in advance to make the republican party of iowa mad at him. nobody else in the field has even bothered to publicly commit one way or another to going or not going but he has publicly committed to not going and he does so not from a position of strength in which he can afford to insult iowa and throw iowa republicans under the bus and maybe get points for doing that somewhere else. he does so at a time when he is polling at oh, say, seventh place in iowa. the latest iowa poll from quinnipiac has him behind ben

parson carson in the polls. and jeb bush makes this at a time when everyone left, right and center is killing him over the issue of the iraq war, of all thing. these are all headlines from the last 24 hours. first governor bush went on fox news and said even knowing what he knows now, even with 20/20 hindsight he still would have invaded iraq in 2003. then he went on the raid wroe with another fox news host today and said, actually, he's not really sure if he would have done that or not. at one point today he apparently e-mailed a former staffer of his who works at cnn to say he must have misheard the question he was asked about the iraq are war. he misheard it the. that led paul begala the democratic strategist to say he did not know jeb bush had a hearing impairment and everyone should pay for his speedy recovery. then jeb bush said it wasn't so much that he misheard but misunderstood the question. this question about iraq.

this is what the headlines look like about iraq and jeb bush. amid all that mess today, him getting destroyed not just by the liberals but conservatives, too, in the middle of that today jeb bush surprised everybody by deciding to go out of his way to toer things to do than to go to their precious little straw poll, which doesn't take place until three month from now. jeb bush by all accounts is supposed to be the front-runner are for the republican presidential nomination for 2016 am jeb bush not only has terrible numbers with likely republican voters jeb bush is surprisingly running a terrible campaign so far. he is running a campaign so it terrible that even his would-be friends in the conservative media seem unable to save him from himself at this point. i did not see this coming. after all, healthier doesn't happen all by itself. it needs to be earned... every day...

turn me around ♪ ♪ i'm going to keep on walking ♪ news to watch tonight in madison, wisconsin, where people are marching in the streets again in protest over the police shooting of a young man named tony robinson. tony robinson was 19 years old and unarmed when he was shot by a madison police officer and killed. it was march 6, friday night. police responded to a call about somebody behaving erratically, jumping out in front of cars in the street. a suspect was acting crazy, that he was maybe high on something, that he had hit someone and run inside an apartment. the madison police officer who responded to those calls was an officer named matt kenny. he got to the house in question. he forced his way inside. once he was inside that apartment, 19-year-old tony robinson hit him, struck him in the head. officer kenny end eded up, for whatever reason, firing off seven rounds in two bursts at close range. he shot seven times.

he hit tony robinson with all seven bullets and that's how tony robinson died. officer kenny is a 12-year veteran of the madison police department, who is white. tony robinson is bi-racial. in the two months since madison has seen large and peaceful protests in tony robinson's name. the demonstrations started soon after his funeral. madison, as you know is the state capital. they have filled not only the streets of madison but also the state capitol rotunda where the state started its investigation into the shooting, tony robinson's family said they did have faith in the process. his uncle telling reporters, quote, we want them to act strictly as fact-finders and that's what they've assured us. we believe that and we have confidence in that. well, the wisconsin department of justice carried out the investigation into the shooting. then they handed over their findings to the prosecutor, to the district attorney in madison, in dane county, wisconsin.

over this past weekend specifically on mother's day, on sunday, that prosecutor announced that he had reached a decision in this case about whether or not he was going to charge the officer, but he wasn't announcing it then. he wanted to give the community 48 hours' notice of his decision. he said he would announce today if there would be charges. well today that d.a. ismael ozanne, stepped up to the podium, wiped his brow talked about his heritage as a bi-racial man and the first african-american d.a. in wisconsin. he told the family of tony robinson he was sorry for their loss, and then he announced his decision. >> my decision will not bring tony robinson jr. back. my decision will not end the racial disparities that exist in the justice system. in our justice system. i conclude that it this tragic and unfortunate death was the result of a lawful use of deadly

police force, and that no charges should be brought against officer kenny in the death of tony robinson jr. >> no charges should be brought. that was the decision today in madison, wisconsin, in the police killing of tony robinson. we are in the midst of a long, ongoing, very difficult national conversation about policing and violence in this country. and every case is different. every place is different. the reaction in each place to each case is different. today in madison, the african-american community announce this had afternoon that they had 100 community peacekeepers ready to work the neighborhoods in time for the d.a.'s announcement this afternoon. tony robinson's family made a call for peace and his parents joined a march in their son's name, and the reaction tonight has been notably peaceful in madison. there's going to be another march in madison tomorrow morning to the house where tony robinson died. eyes on madison tonight and

the earthquake that killed over 8,000 people in nepal hit on april 25. today nepal got hit again. it was technically an aftershock but it was terrifying today to the survivors of the initial quake. it was disruptive and still desperate relief efforts that are under way to respond to the

april 25th quake. and today's quake was deadly in its own right. at least 50 deaths caused by today's 7.3 magnitude quake, more than 1,000 people injured today. it was strong enough today that it was felt as far away as india and it tibet and bangladesh. after the initial huge earthquake in nepal on april 21, they deployed about 300 personnel to help out, and one crucial part of the american rescue package after the nepal earthquake at least three helicopters, today one of these three helicopters, we don't know exactly which one of the three, we don't have the tail number one of these exact choppers that was photographed and highlighted by the u.s. military to show us the american taxpayer what we sent as our mission to help those in need in nepal. one of these three choppers has now gone missing today in nepal.

we learned it went missing in a rugged mountainous area some time around 10:00 p.m. local time. they had just delivered a load of tarps and rice into one of the hardest hit villages from the initial earthquake. they were on their way to deliver more but they lost communication and now nobody knows what has happened to had a aircraft. one reason potentially for hope is that there has been no sign after crash for that chopper. the crew didn't set off any emergency beacons as far as they can tell. they say there's no signs of smoke or flames on the ground. there was reportedly no may day call over the radio. we do know this helicopter that's gone missing belongs to a marine light attack helicopter squadron part of an air wing based at camp pendleton. a defense official telling nbc news that marines onboard that chopper are equipped with gps

devices and radio and emergency beacons but because that helicopter was flying over such difficult terrain, that terrain is such it might make that equipment ineffective, hard to feigned even if they had used any of those alert signals. so the search continues for that u.s. chopper and those u.s. marines. but that was not the only u.s. military aircraft in trouble today. an fa-18 super hornet like this one also crashed today into the persian gulf. it crashed shortly after taking off from "the uss theodore roosevelt. "it was not the result of any hostile activity. the navy says the two pilots onboard ejected from the aircraft. they survived the crash. they were recovered by certificatesearch and rescue personnel from the ship, from the aircraft carrier. the crew of this plane is not said to be searriously injured. they have been rescued. but their fa-18 and the others onboard the roosevelt, the other aircraft onboard that aircraft carrier, they're there because

they've been conducting air strikes against isis in iraq and syria for months. and that wore as risky as it is for u.s. military personnel involves thousands of u.s. military personnel. one sad benchmark today. a journalist at 1,000 days since austin tice was taken hostage by kidnappers of some stripe we don't know who, inside the area. reporting on the syrian civil war when somebody abducted him in august 2013. a video was released showing him -- a v relesase showed him in captivity. they had been in contact about us aaustin tice trying to get him

released. today marks 1,000 days for austin tice. the national security council release add statement marking the day saying the u.s. government will continue to work tirelessly to bring austin home to hits parents. josh ernest started off his white house briefing today on the issue of american journalist austin tice. >> a statement issued earlier today by bernadette meehan, the spokesperson for the national security council. she issued a statement today that it's with a heavy heart we marked austin tice's 1,000th day in captivity. the united states government in sear yaus is trying to bring him home. that is an effort that is on going and has been for some time and certainly is something we are focused on every day but

today we're particularly mindful this day being his 1,000th day in captivity. >> the u.s. it continues to coordinate with the syrian government on his case trying to get him home following the death of a series of american hostages and journalists taken in iraq and syria from james foley to just last month when a drone killed a hostage, warren weinstein. there have been calls to create inside the u.s. government something that you'd call a hostage czar. somebody in the federal government to better coordinate and try to find americans being held overseas and to xhaun kate with families here. mr. weinstein's would create a hostage czar a high level position at the national security council to find and

free hostages. could that sort of thing help? could that make things better for his family are for the other families who have dealt with this? austin tice was working as a freelancer for you. >> thank you for having me here, rachel. >> at this benchmark, it's a terrible thing to hit. has there been a response from mr. tice's family? what have you heard from mclachey? >> the statement by josh ernest starting the white house briefing mentioning austin tice one of the mrants has been they don't think the administration has been as active as they should be in fryingtrying to get their loved ones home. >> families of hostages have

expressed that dissatisfaction with the way they've been communicated with or what they felt the government was able to do. it's been expressed in lots of different ways. is it your assessment or do you feel it's the family's assessment something like the hostage rescue act that restructuring the way the government handles cases like this might provide satisfaction the government is taking this seriously and trying to get better at it? >> i think they would like to see one central person a point person, to be in charge of it. deborah tice told us she called it mind blowing the fact there's no one single person, no one single agency that they can pick up the phone for and find out what's happening. mark tice told us it's been a one way street. the government will ask them about what's happening, what they're hearing. they hear a lot of things. they've been over to the middle

east hoping to get clues but they don't get what they want back from the government. in terms of information. >> the u.s. is working with the czechs government on this. that was an unfamiliar assertion. how is the czechs government involved? >> they're able to help the united states talk to the syrian government since we're at war. this is the first time involved in the conflict in syria. this is the first time a face and name was put out saying the administration was in contact with the syrian government on tice's behalf. >> leslie clark for mclachey newspaper. thank you. >> thanks for the time. ahead we have an exclusive investigation that we've been working on very hard around

obvious choice. it is not to fling it east over the atlantic and europe or west over the pacific but rather north. if you're throwing something directly at russia do it over the north pole. if we are talking about delivering an armed missile, it is over the north. during the cold war the united states military stockpiled hundreds and hundreds of nuclear missiles in the open fields of places like north dakota and nebraska and wyeoming in the northern great plains. well positioned to shot missiles north over canada in case the cold cold war became a hot nuclear war. u.s. government built hundreds of hardened underground silos in places like north dakota.

these huge silos where we would house our nuclear missiles. one of the other really useful things as a sight for those missiles it was also a relatively easy place for the u.s. government to stash all of these missile sites. to build all this stuff. no offense, one of its advantages if you wanted to stuff a whole bunch, there wasn't a whole lot there in competition. it's flag. nothing built up for miles and miles and miles. the military could build hundreds of joined missile silos. essentially under. we have 150 armed nuclear miss

missiles planted in the ground in north dakota ready to go. there's something very different about their surroundings now than when we first put the missiles there in the 1960s. even though it seemed like the middle nowhere, it is not anymore. that part of north dakota where we stuck all those nuclear missiles is also where we have since struck black gold. it's the same region of north dakota that's become ground zero for the new oil and gas exploration. and so now where you used to just have an underground nuclear missile like this you see all the little asterisks? it used to look like this missile nothing, missile nothing, missile nothing. now what has grown up missile sites, a huge amount of gas infrastructure. all those little brown dots you see there are active oil and gas wells. you can barely even see the

nuclear missile facilities in some of those areas but they're still there right in the middle of all that other stuff. and what that means can be freaky when you look at the details. it used to be like this. nuclear missile, cow, nuclear missile, pond. now it's oil well, oil well, oil well, nuclear missile, oil well oil well oil well. those missiles now have company, close company, lots of it. and that as you might imagine has caused some concerns. all of those nuclear missiles buried in the ground innednorth dakota are under minot air force base, a unit of the military task maintaining and launching those nuclear missiles. they are live nuclear weapons. here is what one of those missile launch facilities looks like. it's a big underground silo with a huge minute man 3 ballistic

missile loaded into it and, yes, that missile is not a vestigial thing. it has a nuclear warhead mounted on top of it. there are 150 of these underground missile launch facilities spread across western north dakota and a missile alert facility nearby has control of those nuclear weapons. it can fire them if they are given the order from the command commander in chief. when you combine these two different things there is logistical awkwardness between the active nuclear weapons sites which used to be out in the middle of nowhere but are mixed in with the gas and oil industry. take a look at this. this is a document we've obtained that lay out some of the concerns the millitary has expressed about the two overlapping things in western north dakota. oil pad with pumping derrick is within the 1,200 foot restricted

area around this missile launch facility. talking about one particular missile silo in western north dakota. minot air force base says that particular oil well and the hazardous materials that come out of the well pose a potential safety threat to that missile launch of facility. worries about seismic exploration around these live nuclear missiles. the military says that sort of activity that seismic exploration has the potential to set off missile launch facility vibration detection systems. the issue of all these nuclear missiles in such close proximity has received a little bit of news attention. "the bismarck tribune "a great local paper, covered that issue. the closeness of the missiles and the oil wells did get good local coverage. but here's something new. this is something that we have

uncovered that would seem to be the cause of some legitimate concern and not just on a loekcal scale but a much broader scale. one of the things that has changed the geography of north dakota especially the part of north dakota where all the missiles are is all of these oil wells. the other thing that has changed because of the oil wells is how they move that oil around, pipelines, big and small, the military has expressed concern about, but most of it is oil trains. they depart from western north dakota stuffed with crude oil and then they crisscross the country occasionally derailing and blowing up in the process. take a look at this. we have obtained these maps showing all of these nuclear missile silos spread out, all of the green, yell lowell or red dots that you see on this map are nuclear facilities.

look at where they now judge up against. those black lines that you see spread across that map are railroad lines. they carry all that crude oil across the country. much of that is coming from places like tie owe ga tyoga over there on the left. a nuclear missile facility located right along rails. another in north dakota located right along the rails. another one in balfour, north dakota, right along the rails. these oil trains have a well documented history of derailing and then blowing up. a specific example. the one that caused this fireball, that caused the

evacuation of hundreds of residents departed and then it traveled in really, really close proximity to five nuclear missile facilities on its route. and it was not just in the vicinity, it was this close. look. remember the size of that fireball? that is a missile launch facility and the other points to the railway line. it traveled along on the route where it ultimately blew up. imagine that area right there being engulfed in a fireball that looks like this like it did further down the line. we talk about them being apok

apocalyptic looking. that's starting to make the word apok lipcalyptic feel less metaphorical. these oil train derailments and explosions you can't usually put these fires out. they burn so big and so hot and so explosively that the strategy for dealing with them is to let them burn for days. what happens if an oil train de derails and blows up next to one of these manned nuclear missile alert facilities? that has command and control of ten minute man three live nuclear missiles. what happens if it rails and blows up next to the silos themselves. they are generally sealed. they are designed to be fairly impenetrable to outside elements and all sorts of adverse events but, you know if they're being worked on as they often are or if something else is happening, if there's an event, a real risk

of a fireball the risk is that such an explosion could ignite the solid booster fuel within the silo right, within that minute-man rocket exposing the nuclear warhead to the fire that can't be put out for days. we talked to a nuclear expert today who told us in that scenario, quote, you have a potential disaster on your hands with not just casualties in the immediate area but radioactive contamination and fallout all around. and if all that have sounds like a terrifying scenario the united states air force is worried about it too. the air force, this is not nationally known, but the air force has laid out in a series of documents that we have obtained the air force laid out the net posed by the proximity of these oil trains and our nation's nuclear weapons. quote, rail oil cars in close proximity to our missile launch facilities and missile alert facilities pose a man made disaster concern. train derailment pose as safety and security threat to missile

alert facilities and missile launch facilities. here is an existing rail facility that minot has raised concerns about, located within 1,200 feet and they say that poses a potential security concern. it increases the threat from derailment adjacent to missile launch facility. hazardous contents of rail cars present safety concerns. so this is the united states military lay inging out these concerns in really stark and specific detail about individual sites where they can see that this might happen. and they're laying out these concerns at the local level. these documents come from a local planning effort essentially where the military and local communities are trying to figure out how to share the land together. you can understand why the military is concerned. we went out to north dakota today and shot video that shows just how close the rail lines are to these nuclear missile silos.

in some cases there's not more than a few hundred yards that separate them and you have seen the size of the fireballs when these trains blow more than a few hundred feet that separate them. you have seen the sizes of these fireballs when they blow up. here is what it looks like just outside stanley, north dakota want a nuclear missile silo a to-lane road. all of these nuclear missile facility necessary close proximity to rail lines, these that have to explode and burn out of california for days. it is clear that the military is concerned about this because we have found these documents in which they have expressed their concerns locally. almost missile by missile and town by town and these little towns where they're responsible for these nuclear weapons all over north dakota. we've reached out to minot air force base. they say they are willing to talk to us about this but they

have not yet made anyone available. but this is -- forgive me for saying but this is the definition of not a local issue. it has surfaced so far only in these local documents that we have reviewed that have a local purpose. but this is not just a north dakota issue. this is a national discussion under way right now about these oil trains because they don't just blow up in north dakota even if what they're full of is north dakota oil. they travel the country and blow up all over the place. even if the problem were confined to north dakota. i think maybe that is a national problem now, given this sort of terrifying sight. we keep using the term apocalyptic to talk about the types of fires when these things go bad. it is now a statistical matter. it is predictable when that might happen given how many nuclear missiles there are right in that area where the oil train res coming from and how close those nuclear missile res to the

rails being used to ship that oil out of north dakota at a rate that we have never seen before in this country and that was never anticipated and we thought we were safely tucking those missiles there in the middle of nowhere decades ago for a war that would never happen. we reached out today to a few of the major railroads that ship throughout the country. a spokesman of csx told us this particular portion does not apply to their rail roads. a spokesperson for bnsf told us quote, bnsf relies on the u.s. military to advise us if there is a concern. we're not aware of any issues between the railroads and the missile system. to our knowledge, the railroad does not present any meaningful risk. we reached out to the federal railroad administration who told us keeping people and communities safe is a multi departmental effort across the federal government. the department of transportation is working with homeland security and other agencies to

make sure risks are identified and mitigated. they say the new oil train rule they unveiled earlier this month is to ensure oil is shipped on the safest and most secure route possible. but that does not always appear to be the case. we're going to keep you posted as this story develops. we've been working on it for a while and we will continue to work on it. i think we are honestly start to go scratch the surface on this issue. please watch. and last but not least the high performance gti. looks like we're gonna need a bigger podium. the volkswagen golf family. motor trend's 2015 "cars" of the year.

train. you can see first responders attended to the accident right now. these are live shots. we don't have any solid reports yet on any injuries. amazingly, we did learn first of this crash from a former pennsylvania congressman and msnbc host who say on the train. congressman pat murphy to you took these pictures on the right side of your screen from what looks like the dining car on the train. joining us live now on the phone is janelle richards a producer for nbc nightly news who was on the train. janelle, thank you for calling in. what happened tonight? >> yep. we were riding on the train from washington, d.c. to new york and when we were about in philly probably an hour or less away from new york very suddenly the train just felt like it crashed. people went up in their seats. smoke started filling the train and the next thing you know it was over. we were shaking back and forth and then it all stopped. and i think that everybody was shocked, surprised, and some people were screaming. i looked to my left and there

was a woman in the aisle with blood down her face and the first question people started asking was how do we get off the train? how do we get off the train? how do we get off this train? so the people that could get up started getting up out of their seats, walking towards whatever they can -- and someone was able to push or press one of those doors so it slid open just enough to start getting people off the train. >> janelle, you did see people who were injured. do you expect there will be any fatalities from this crash? were the injuries you saw that serious serious? >> that i'm not sure. the people i saw looked like they were okay just very badly injured. but in terms of fatalities, i'm not sure. >> janelle richards please stay in touch with us over the course of the night. we're going to stay on this story as we learn about it. thank you for foeng in. >> thank you. >> lawrence has more on this
