he joins us from the california of kelley blue but. you. start off with what does this fine mean? is just window -- is this just window dressing? it is really just a rounding error. greatere is the government oversight. even before this, mary barra was implementing changes into the company to try to prevent these things. she has reorganized the engineering department. just try to encourage employees to raise their hands if they see safety concerns. she has appointed an additional the errors to root out these kind of issues. >> come in on the topic of the consumer. does this government fine affect consumer perspective of gm automobiles? lacks we have not seen it impact them yet in terms of consideration on general motors vehicle pages. you have to wonder at what point there is a threshold that might eat cross-ice people wonder about the product. a is ironic when this is symbol of them being told they have to be better. a lot of the work they're doing they put out there. they're putting more diligence on finding recall than solving them. you hope the average consumer does not keep h

from the north down south. >> conditions are no better in neighbouring california. a severe drought in history is threatening crops, and while water readings are at lows, jennifer london joins usrom los angeles to explain that. >> reporter: well, the severe and prolonged drought is threatening crops and the drinking water. about a third of california's water comes from snow melts, and there's precious little snow in the mountains. it's one thing to talk about how little snow there is, it's another to see it. we have aerial images telling the story of a long dry woint in the sierra nevada mountains. this video was shot for al jazeera. we maffed a camera -- placed a camera on an aircraft used to take aerial shots of the snow pack. it's a joint project. they are trying, with the aerial measurements, is get accurate readings. they fly at 70,000 feet over the sierra nevada, and they can pinpoint the snow pack with precision. the snow pack is shallow, even at the highest elevations. >> after two sizeable years of droughts, the reservoirs are lower than they are normally at this time of year. so if we had a good year of snow pack, we'd fill that up, and there would be no problem. we

but blazes from early in the year are unprecedented and there are serious concerns that the long term drought in california will make this season a nightmare. joining us from san marcos, california, al jazeera correspondent brian rooney. the fire there grew from 1200 acres to now around 3,000. they are having some success containing it. >> they are. the weather is not quite as hot, not quite as windy. these things tend to blow up and then kind of mysteriously kind of damp down. the actual damage to houses has not been that bad. we're standing in front of a housing that burned to the ground. but only seven or eight houses in a i have widespread area of the san diego area have burned. which is surprising considering the number of acres that have burned. but this morning a big fire blew up on camp pendleton and you can 23 see that back in the horizon, a big black plume. they're calling it 8,000 acres in the morning but considerably more than that as the day goes on. that's a considerable area that's burning but camp pendleton is generally a wild reservation, they're evacuating the remote camps they have on the base but so far we're not getting of damage

roger is calling us from california. you are currently unemployed? caller: yes. three months ago.: what kind of work were you doing? caller: fabrication. that shed by my lawyer had to cut her workforce to below 50 workers. because she could not afford to pay for health insurance for more workers and could not afford to do that. host: has your job hunting experience -- what has that been like? caller: jobs are hard to find. i had to move back to bayside. inre are not many jobs here the eureka area. host: are you getting any unemployed and assistance? caller: yes. host: when does that expire? caller: i still have three months of it left. host: for the types of applications that you have how many, interviews are you getting? caller: arlene and he. -- hardly any. host: have you thought about changing careers? caller: i will take anything at this point. i would rather work than be on unemployment. host: philadelphia, pennsylvania. alex is employed. caller: under the bush administration, i got laid off because the company moved to mexico. i got a job driving a truck after that. and idri

that attorney, charles frisco is joining us from california.elly count of forcible rape, three felony counts of lewd acts on a minor, one felony count of kidnapping to commit a sexual offense. what does your client say about these charges and what do you and your client say about the nature of their relationship? >> well, at this time -- thank you for having me on and giving me the opportunity to express our feelings and sentiments. i haven't had a lot of time to talk to my client and i don't have anything from the district attorney other than the charges in terms of trying to explain to him what the accusations are. the district attorney is already talking about the case, talking about what this woman is to have said, parroting what she has to say, taking choice parts out of the police report that favor them. i haven't received anything in terms of any police reports. it's hard to explain to my client what he's up against until i have that. the district attorney of orange county is legally obligated to give me those reports. yesterday was the

practice focuses on freedom of expression and in many instances my clients have benefited from use of the california public records act, use of the brown act as well. which mandates open public hearings. in my experience on the harvey milk club, i participated in public comments before the board of supervisors and various committees. i've also provided forums for public comment. i have myself admittedly grappled with occasional member complaints about incidental failure to post agenda in advance of a meeting and i'm very familiar with dealing with and addressing complaints. to put on my advocacy hat just a second, i think the importance of open government is twofold. on the one hand citizens have more trust in the government when they know what that government is doing. it is as simple as knowing how many potholes local government fill in a year. i believe truly showing in the past harvard business school study, fundamental trust happens when people see efforts made by government entities. the other element of openness in government that i think is very important is enabling citizen access to govern

john ipshire joins us from mountain view, california.tudy shows that parenting makes parents as happy as it ever did and nonparents are grouchier than ever. how did you come to that conclusion? >> historically the research has shown that those people who have kids are less happy, but the question we asked, or we considered, was, was this parent-happiness gap change over time? and what we found is it was. as you stated in the intro the nonparents were becoming less happy while the parents were staying about the same. so relatively parents are getting happier since about 1980 to today. >> you apparently came into some inconsistencies on some of the prior work on this, including the definition parents. explain that. >> yes, most of the prior research includes anyone who said you've had a child. perhaps if you have had a child maybe that child isn't living with you or you have lost custody of that child. that doesn't indicate whether you are actively parenting a child. but people zero to 17, actually living in their household. >> were you su
