from the tisch wnet studios in lincoln center in new york, hari sreenivasan. >> sreenivasan: good evening. thanks for joining us. isis is being blamed for a terror attack in another part of the world today, afghanistan. the president of that country says the extremist group was responsible for a suicide bombing that left at least 33 people dead and an estimated 100 wounded. the attack occurred outside a bank in the eastern city of jalalabad. the victims had gathered there to collect their paychecks. a spokesman for the taliban, which has been at war with the western-backed government in afghanistan, also condemned today's attack. we'll have more after the news summary. a suspected terror plot in australia has been foiled. authorities in melbourne arrested five teens said to have been planning an attack on police during a world war i commemoration next week. the five teens, all 18 or 19 years old, are all described as isis sympathizers. there has been a sharp spike in terror-related arrests in australia in the past six months. russian president vladimir putin struck a more conciliatory ton

from the tisch wnet studios in lincoln center in new york, hari sreenivasan. >> sreenivasan: good evening. thanks for joining us. we begin tonight in kenya, where authorities today took five suspects into custody for their alleged role in thursday's university terror attack. at least 148 people were killed. authorities said three of the five were captured as they tried to enter neighboring somalia. that's the base of al-shabab, the islamist terror organization, aligned with al qaeda, which claimed responsibility for the attack targeting christian students. today, in a statement, the group warned kenyans that "no amount of precaution will prevent another bloodbath from occurring." our report is from itv's richard pallot. >> reporter: for two days, this woman has held out hope. no more. like so many others this morning the realization that their relatives were victims in kenya's worst terrorist attack in almost two decades. the stories of survival are still emerging. >> i was scared so much. >> reporter: this woman hid in a cupboard for 48 hours, so scared that she refused to believe the si

hari sreenivasan explains how that's affecting the poor most of all. >> sreenivasan: two years ago karen been never had to walk to get someplace. she owned a car. she also had a corporate job in atlanta and a house with a pool in the backyard. but today this single mother of two boys is unemployed and on the job hunt in new york city. they moved here for a better life but quickly ran out of money. and the one thing she needs right now to get back on her feet is what most of us take for granted. >> i feel that the internet will definitely be a catalyst in me getting out of the situation we are in. if you are looking for a job they want me to go online and fill out an application. there is no more hardcopies when it comes to resumes. >> sreenivasan: but it's difficult for been to go online and send out her resume. she can't afford the monthly internet bill, which costs around $60 a month in new york city. so after school, the three make a beeline for the library. been's 11-year-old son ishan siddiqui rushes to finish his homework before the library closes. >> it was kind of difficult becau

from the tisch wnet studios in lincoln center in new york hari sreenivasan. >> sreenivasan: good evening. thanks for joining us. it was a day of celebration reflection and remembrance in kenya today as millions of christians there observed easter just days after al shabab islamic extremists targeted christian students at a university and killed more than 140 of them. the newshour's william brangham has more. >> this was the scene outside churches in the capital city of nairobi today, as worshippers gathered to attend easter sunday mass. and this was in the scene at churches in garissa. a city of 120,000 people closer to the border of somalia, where masked gunmen from the al-qaeda affiliated terror group gunned down christian students and spared muslims. the catholic bishop there said today everyone is still shaken by the attacks, but one of his parishioners in this overwhelmingly christian country said she relied on her faith to ease her fears. >> easter is symbolic, it is time that you remember how jesus went through and how he was tempted. it is not that we are safe but we trust in him

from the tisch wnet studios in lincoln center in new york, hari sreenivasan. >> sreenivasan: good evening. thanks for joining us. hillary clinton made it official today, she's running for president. she made the announcement in a video posted online this afternoon. it featured people from traditionally democrat-leaning groups, including hispanics, african americans, women, and gays, all talking about how they're getting ready for the future. >> i'm getting ready for something too. i'm running for president. americans have fought their way back from tough economic times but the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top. everyday americans need a champion and i want to be that champion. so you can do more than just get by. you can get ahead and stay ahead. because when families are strong, america is strong. >> sreenivasan: hours before her announcement, one of the republican front runners, former florida governor jeb bush, released his own video. in it, he tied clinton to what he called the "failed policies" of the last seven years. >> we must to do better than the obama-clinton f

>> yeah. >> sreenivasan: why? >> because its the right thing to do. like i said, although this is not where i live, this is still my home. somewhere along the line you have to say enough is enough. >> sreenivasan: the marlboro apartments where the liquor store was looted sits right on the dividing line of zipcode 21217, separating sandtown from the much nicer corner called bolton hill. the historic bolton hill neighborhood has tree lined streets, beautifully maintained homes, a members-only swim and tennis club. "the king and i" opens at john willard's memorial church tomorrow night. troublemakers hit bolton hill too, looting all the stores in this shopping center. at twilight we caught up with some bolton hillers at b bistro, the kind of restaurant that serves good wine and truffled french fries. it's less than a mile away from the porch we sat on in sandtown, but has a very different relationship with the police. andrew parlock, and his wife kendra were just finishing dinner. >> i'm gonna call the cops the first chance i have if something goes down,

hari sreenivasan has a report on efforts to document violence by video here and abroad.: it contains images that are disturbing including the shooting of walter scott. everyone is shooting everything with camera phones (gunfire) >> the shooting of walter scott proves that sometimes video can be used as evidence against police wrongdoing. >> i think cameras in everyone's hands means that there will be more transparency and more accountability. the camera is the new dna technology. the dna is only available to specialists only available to scientists. the camera is available to everyone worldwide. >> reporter: the video as evidence program, a witness founded by activist peter gabriel trains people around the world to document abuse as effective in the courtroom as on the web. >> with cameras, we can document and share what is going on. we can build campaigns with millions and billions of others and leverage those numbers which are large enough that politicians can't ignore them to create new change. >> shocked citizens took to the streets after nypd concluded there would b

hari sreenivasan has more. >> on december 15, 2014, i was going to work. to work a little late. i got there, i want to say 6:26. and i was getting ready to cut my car off, and i heard a black male, on the radio, a black male, 26 years old, gunned down by police at the 6600 block of frankfort avenue, driving a white dodge charger. so when i heard that unfortunately i knew that it was my son. >> sreenivasan: last december tanya brown's son brandon tate- brown had been killed, shot by philadelphia police after being pulled over for driving with his headlights off. >> to know that my son suffered like that and that i was not there to protect him or lay my body on him, and then probably kill me too. it breaks my heart. i'm his mother. and i couldn't do nothing to help him. >> sreenivasan: brown is not alone in her pain. there have been 394 shootings involving the philadelphia police since 2007. in many years, the department saw more police shootings than new york city, a city five times its size. charles ramsey is the philadelphia police commissioner: >> there

transgender. >> sreenivasan: transgender people are gaining visibility at least in hollywood. several award-winning series showcase transgender characters. the netflix series "orange is the new black" is one, and amazon has its own breakthrough, critically-acclaimed series "transparent." but myers says too often hollywood sensationalizes transgender stories. >> gays and lesbians and bisexuals are portrayed in the media and it's not glamorous it's just who they are. so trans people aren't there yet in the media depictions of them. we're not just normal people. we're always somewhat dramatic still. when you can see it in your own town, when you can see oh that's how a lesbian couple raises a child, all of a sudden it's really different. whether you share that identity or you don't. all of a sudden they are people, they're not abstractions they're not something that's sensational on tv or that you read about in the newspaper, but they're people you live next to and they become human beings. >> sreenivasan: what's necessary for that normative moment for transgender people? >> i sp

hari sreenivasan has the story. >> sreenivasan: the case before the fifth circuit court of appeals pitsama administration and its latest waivers of deportation against just over half of states in the country. 26 states have sued the president, arguing that his immigration policy oversteps his constitutional authority. at issue are executive actions the president announced in november. as a reminder, the administration wants to expand who qualifies for the deferred action for childhood arrivals or daca, program. the latest action would include undocumented immigrants over 30 years old who were brought to the u.s. as children. the president's actions also would block deportation for parents of u.s. citizens or permanent residents, provided those undocumented immigrants have lived in the country since 2010 and pass background checks. joining us now to discuss the case is molly hennessy-fiske, houston bureau chief for the "los angeles times." she was in court in new orleans this morning. are -- tell us first what are the arguments you heard? >> well, we heard both from the federal governmen
