minister of spain said they would pass austere budget cuts to help the country. but in doing so, they caused a lot of their citizens to be upset. and, of course, the videos are starting to hit the web. you see a crowd of thousands of people in barcelona peacefully marching. and they're all covering their face. they had been hit with tear gas, and you can see most of these people trying to protect themselves from the gas. there's a lot of pushinging, there's a lot of screaming. but in general, it's a very peaceful march. these protesters are out protesting against new labor laws that would mean employers can opt out of collective bargaining. they can reduce wages and fire workers a lot more easily. the unemployment rate is 23%. so young people are finding it very hard to find jobs. >> to me, a protest like this is
4:05 pm
more powerful and more impactful than protests where people are just destroying stuff. >> most of the protests were peaceful. but there were some that were not, which is the case in this video. this is a different part of barcelona. you see people throwing rocks. there's trash bins on fire. according to the interior ministry, 176 arrests were made, and there were 104 injuries reported. these protests cost factories to be shut down, transportation was shut down, schools were shut down. so it definitely made an impact. i'm always surprised when i see these animal hoarding videos and this one comes to us from stanton, california, where a woman was found with dozens of animals in her mobile home. in this video, you can see what they found. and there was a variety of animals in there. >> the list of animals includes
4:06 pm
a raccoon, a crow, eight dogs, 18 cats, 2 chickens, 4 rabbits, mice and reptiles. >> what? >> this woman was said to be in her 40s. she reportedly was given a misdemeanor citation. and as you can see, they had to wear respirators, because the house was soaked in urine and covered in feces. >> how are these animals not just like eating each other and stuff. it's not like they all are best friends. >> well, if you look at the dogs, as they came out, they did not look as if they were uncared for. but the conditions they were kept in honestly weren't healthy. i couldn't believe it when i saw a raccoon being carried out and that guy is big. >> he's like a dog. >> yeah, he looks well-fed. >> they also found two dead a a the dogs and cats and stuff, but you can't have a raccoon in there and a crow. come on. >> yeah, how do you get the crow in your house to begin >> how d crow? >> i think the possums were trying to help their buddies
4:07 pm
out, if you wait long enough, i'll open the door and you can escape. >> play dead, and maybe she throws everybody out and they're free. >> so the possums really aren't dead, they are just playing that way? >> they wanted to get the hell out of there. how can you guys forget the video i showed you yesterday from brazil? during a news report, a reporter on the scene witnessed a man get shot in the head at pointblank range. [ gunshot ] >> i told you that the man somehow made it. he was alive in a hospital. well, today, "right this minute" has uncovered a video of the man already giving an interview. >> what? >> wait, he's talking? >> he's talking. >> you're kidding. [ speaking in foreign language ] >> in this video, you see the man, he's blurred, 24-year-old rodriguo ferrero silva. >> you can see the entry wound and bullet hole. >> he goes on to describe for this reporter there are bullets still inside his body. he is planning on having
4:08 pm
surgery. aye apparently the whole thing happened in a bar. it goes back to an incident that was weeks ago, an argument. he says it wasn't about drugs, it wasn't about a girl. the reporter asked him how this whole thing happened. he said, a man came up to him with a gun and said you're gonna die. shot him once in the chest. and i think that's when we see the video pick up. before the man comes over and pointblank shoots him again. he saw him point the gun down, and you can see in the video, rodriguo tries to pull his face away. but then he did get shot in the head. [ speaking in foreign language ] >> wow. >> i am blown away by this. when i heard he survived, i was thinking, paralysis, i was thinking he could potentially be a vegetable, because he did get a gunshot wound to the head. [ speaking in foreign language ] >> he's anything but a vegetable. he's sitting up talking, explaining what happened, how the fight started. >> we have a crew translation of the portuguese.
4:09 pm
sounds like there are six bullets somewhere that either have been removed or still need to be removed from his body. >> he's a walking -- >> he's a talking, walking miracle. ♪ andrew dickey does some very dangerous stuff on his bike. >> no, he is not. >> oh, boy. >> oh, yes, he is. see the master take on disaster. and this video goes viral, asking jeremy lin to speak at graduation. >> so have you gotten any kind of response? >> see the video, and find out what the breakout nba star is going to do.
