(gunfire) >> we're really on the edge of salahuddin. the free syrian army had been retreating heavily in the past couple of days-- they've been losing men, they've been losing ammunition. this is the last stand in salahuddin. they've just got reinforcement, trying to protect the next neighborhood after salahuddin. >> narrator: the man who coordinates the 150 fighters in this key sector is abu mohammed. >> abu mohammed is a very, very important character, a member of the aleppo military council. thr

it's called the "internet." >> narrator: but the website is a sham. its only purpose is bilking investors of millions, and when the feds come knocking, one of the men who's allegedly running the scheme heads to sea. but first, street criminals turn to white-collar crime. >> this is the first time that i had seen people who graduated from narcotics, violence, and pimping to a million-dollar bank fraud. >> narrator: the feds say a young woman teams up with her gangster boyfriend and orchestrates a nationwide credit-card scheme. but the law closes in, and the fraud's alleged mastermind hits the road. [ tires screech ] february 2009. at the federal courthouse in sacramento, charles barksdale, a gang member turned scam artist, pleads guilty to running a massive bank fraud. barksdale and the mother of his child, neisha jackson, have run a network of scammers that stole more than $2.5 million from banks across the country. they've found there's a way to pull off a bank heist that's easier than using a gun. recently, "american greed: the fugitives" spoke with

the boston police. and they say, "it's a mad scene down here." >> (chanting): we want ted! >> narrator: it was the night of their first debate. >> "we're going to have to get you an escort to get into the building." they had eight or ten motorcycle police officers there to guide us through the mobs of people at the site. >> narrator: it was 47-year-old mitt romney's first campaign. >> and mitt just has this big smile on his face, and he looks at me and goes, "boy, however this turns out, this really makes it worth it." >> narrator: the race had been close. romney needed a great performance. >> i don't think he had any idea what it was going to be like, because he had never done debates under that pressure. >> narrator: he'd gotten into the race because kennedy looked weak, beatable. >> at the time ted kennedy seemed vulnerable. it was a weak period for kennedy. he looked bad, he sounded bad, and in that way he was vulnerable. >> narrator: he was dramatically overweight. there had been trouble with alcohol and women. he'd mortgaged his house to stay in the race. >> romney was everything

the beginning. i was searching just to find who i was. >> narrator: the situation, so promising in january 2011, fellrrator: as winter turned to spring, there was no second reunion. in fact, there was very little communication. >> well, it's like i found her but she's still lost. >> it's eating joy up inside to know that her daughter is alive, and her daughter's not with her. her daughter's turning back to the people that's kidnapped her. >> when people all of a sudden are found and there's this great brouhaha and excitement and celebration, there's sort of like a halo effect that takes place. and you believe everything's gonna be great from now on. but these are very difficult complicated issues. they're not easily resolved. >> narrator: dr. geoffrey greif has interviewed many people who were abducted as children and followed them as they became adults. he says the division between carlina and her birth parents is typical. >> there were a lot of people that i've interviewed who did not know that they had even been kidnapped. that would cause you to question the previous 15 or 20 years of your life,

i think the hospital is safe. >> narrator: she fell asleep but not for long. someone knocked on the door. and it was two detectives standing at the door. i say, "carlina die?" he said, "no." he said, "somebody took her from the hospital." so i called joy. i says, "joy." and she came running up here. i says, "somebody done took carlina." she couldn't believe it. she was hollering, "no-- oh, no. not my baby." >> i get this phone call. i get on the phone. joy in the background, crying, "carl, someone stole our baby." i said, "what are you talking about?" >> i ran to the hospital. they had detectives all over the place. they had helicopters. they had sniffing dogs. they had--i mean, it was everybody out there. nobody couldn't tell me anything at the time. we had a big conference with the hospital. and everybody that worked on that ward that night sat at that table, and nobody knew anything. >> narrator: as they talked about the night, joy remembered the woman in white who had comforted her. >> and i was like, "oh, my god. you know, it was that lady." she saw me cry

that's what the [bleep] they got! >> narrator: knowing a shouting match can turn physical, officers quickly separate the inmates. >> ladies... >> what's the matter? >> ...it's quiet time for a minute, okay, please? all right? just keep to yourselves. leave everybody else alone. all right? >> there you have it. that's why i don't like this dorm. >> every day, you come in to a situation like that where, you know, we have to intervene. it's not just with the females. i mean, it's anywhere in the jail. and that happens every day on every shift in the facility, multiple times most days. >> narrator: at louisville metro, male inmates outnumber females by about nine to one. most live in dormitories designed to hold either 16 or 24 men, but they, too, are almost always beyond capacity. >> this jail is horrible. this is by far the worst jail i've ever been to in my entire life. it's like trying to fit five families in a house. you know, it just don't work. and you have, you know, animosity and people getting up in each other's faces and t

there's always another bug on the horizon. narrator: in 2008, the associated press reported that water quality testing across the nation uncovered trace amounts of pharmaceutical compounds in the drinking water supplies of millions of americans. the health effects of these low levels of medications diluted in our water are still being determined. but these findings further illustrate the fundamental relationship of infrastructure to health. the quality of water plays a significant role in public health. but reliable quantities of water play a significant role in public safety. [ sirens ] the water that comes out of the fire hydrants is the same water that you are utilizing to drink out of your own faucets in your home. so it is critical that we have the best and optimal water distribution system that we can tap into. johnson: in the mid-1990s, the water system had just about collapsed. the district had just run into some very dire financial circumstances, and, when those kinds of things happen, the very first thing that goes is mainten

that's almost doubled since the clean water act was passed in '72. narrator: another significant component of the clean water act was a federally funded grant program to build wastewater treatment plants to reduce pollution in the waterways. and many cities built their treatment plants with this grant money. oberstar: but even a decade after it was enacted, the reagan administration came in and cut the grant program to a loan program. and funding diminished over a period of time. now, we still have 1/3 or more of the nation's streams and lakes that don't meet the standards of the clean water act. we have to advance the cause. that is the big challenge ahead of us. you just don't think of raw sewage in waterways in a developed country, and yet, that's what we have, and not just in pittsburgh, but all over. narrator: pittsburgh is situated at the confluence of the allegheny, monongahela, and ohio rivers. these three rivers are vital for industry, recreation, and drinking water. and each year, billions of gallons of combined sewer overflows discharge directly in

your entire economy begins to suffer with the lack of clean water. narrator: while the water infrastructure provides for our health, safety, and economy, a growing concern is that the value society derives from water has not traditionally been reflected in the price we pay for water. man: when you take a look at how much people pay for water, as a percentage of median household income, it's usually less than 1%. and when you compare that to how much we pay for electricity and gas, cable tv, and internet, the bottom line is, in the united states, we don't pay a heck of a lot for water. curtis: at an average cost of about $2.50 for 1,000 gallons of tap water, it is a great bargain. garvin: but the rates that are being charged for water are insufficient to replace existing systems and to expand existing systems. narrator: because original infrastructure investments were frequently subsidized by the federal government, water pricing was often calculated without accounting for the initial cost to build the systems. we made major investments in assets in the '50s,

so you'd lose half the city if you didn't have a replacement. narrator: without half of its water supply, the city would shut down. for nearly 40 years, new york has been in the process of constructing a solution. man: this project is water tunnel number 3. we started on this project in 1969. i'm a sandhog. i've been a sandhog for 37 years. narrator: sandhogs are the men of local 147, who work deep below the city. they began building the infrastructure of new york in 1872. from the subways to the sewers, the water tunnels to the highway tunnels, new york city thrives because of their work. ryan: you got one little hole in the ground, and nobody knows we're here. see the empire state building, right. that's 1,000 feet. so you figure, you go down 1,000. how high that is -- that's how far we go down. narrator: stretching more than 60 miles under the city, tunnel 3 is taking generations of workers to complete. ryan: i don't even want to imagine what my father had to go through. when we first started, it was a rough job. everything was dynamite. now, they hav

today the gap between their aspirations and reality is enormous. narratorwhatever the future, it is rooted in the historical and political geography of the whole region. here, the culture hearth of muslims, christians and jews was controlled first by the ottoman and then by the british empire in the first half of the 20th century. these were colonies, not nation-states, and the british drew their often arbitrary borders. in the heartland, jerusalem was more a religious than a political center. david, the king, started the capital here 3,000 years ago, and since then, nobody ever made it a capital. and the muslims were here for 1,500 years-- or something of the kind, 1,400 years. ( man speaking arabic ) translator: this is a very holy place for the muslims. for centuries it has been the first holy place after mecca and medina, the most holy places of the muslims all around the world. narrator: for muslims, this is where abraham offered to sacrifice his son, and muhammad rose to heaven. ( speaking french ) translator: jerusalem is the center and the source of

the place is really being hit very, very hard. narratorin shenyang, out of a population of 6.8 million, approximately 1.3 million people are out of work. at one time, the shenyang number one tool works employed more than 8,000 people. today it employs just over 3,000. one of the lucky ones is shao jianwei. his father worked at the tool works until his retirement, among the last beneficiaries of the iron rice bowl. shao's situation is much different. he is a contractual employee, and his contract must be renewed every five years. pannell: they're trying to salvage as much as they can to make the transition to a more efficient process of manufacturing; at the same time, to keep as many people as they can on the payroll, but people that are going to be productive. the problem here is, though, when you restructure these things, you put a lot of people out of work. and that leads to social and political unhappiness-- the kind of thing that the chinese refer to as "impending chaos," or luan, which is a chinese term. that's something that they ve

river, the friendship bridge breached that barrier. narratoromphavan inthavong is in the power business. he was an engineer on the first hydroelectric scheme built here in 1951. to him, these rugged mountains and flowing waters are a pot of gold. laos produces far more electricity than it can use. the surplus, approximately 80% of the power generated, is sold to thailand at a profit. the dream is on a grand scale: laos emerging to the world on an electricity-led boom. inthavong: narrator: the hydroelectric business could make enough money but laos can't payveme for construction stanrdr of the dams and generators. traditionally, around the world, dam construction took the form of massive public projects-- grand symbols of national development, like egypt's aswan dam. but laos is following a new model-- privatization. woman: globally, there's a trend towards privatization of water resources, and in laos this is taking the form of hydroelectric power generation. not only is laos able to export electricity in and therefore earn hard currency-- whic

in the past, that hadn't been able to be done. narratorees in the riparian system can use quite an astounding amount of water. it's been estimated that under, say, perfect conditions, a healthy cottonwood can take up as much as 90 gallons per day of water, which is about the same as half of a normal household here in the sohwt. t we're taing aba irly substantial amount of water that's being transpired by the trees. one of the things that had been suggested at e time was perhaps one way to save water in the river is to cut down all the trees along it. the problem is, is when you do that, regular evaporation takes over and you can end up actually losing more water with regular evaporation than you would from transpiration from the trees. there were several studies done by the bureau of reclamation and one by the u.s. geological survey that established this. narrator: to better understand the effects of water depletion in riparian zones, maddock's colleague, dr. kate baird, is measuring the amount of water used by vegetation near the san pedr
