earlier, i talked about this election with reporter zeke turner of "the wall street journal," who joined me via skype from austria's capital, vienna. why is it that the centrists were knocked out so early? what is going on that you had candidates that are such opts opposites. >> this is a question echoing in germany because in this part of the world they make the grand coalition when two big parties from the left and right of center get together and sometimes they drag each other into political no man's land. for example, the center left chancellor, followed merkel's refugee policy and said people were welcome to come to austria and he had to change course and do an aboutface and talk about border controls and caps. and this is what i mean by no man's land. its' hard to trust politicians when they are in this context where people from the far right come from a certain standpoint and the candidate hover talk hoefer and that is something that is just a clear message for voters. finally the winner is... blake taking home the best picture at this year's cannes film festival. the film look at

tell us how these fish are fighting zeke ra. >> reporter: good morning.fish are actually going to be the eating the larvae of the mosquitos. by the end of next week, 10,000 of them will be released in retention basins throughout the county. the centers for disease control and prevention has been tracking the mosquitos that can transmit the zika virus. based on their monitoring system, those mosquitos can be found all throughout new jersey, delaware and pennsylvania. health officials, though, say this does not mean that the mosquitos will cause disease. these mosquitos would have to bite someone who is already infected in order to spread the virus. i did some more checking around with the cdc. as of may 4th, there have been 472 reported cases of the zika virus in the u.s. all of those cases can be related back to travel. reporting live in west deptford, pamela osborne, nbc 10 news. >>> today in harrisburg, an aide to former pennsylvania governor ed rendell plans to plead guilty to federal fire fraud charges. john esty will admit that he arranged to pocket

the opposite with zeke character the political system doesn't seem to care much one way or the other, nobody's talking about it, the experts are completely spooked about it. >> well, look. i think that ebola was a real threat. and congress acted. president obama sent a $6 billion funding request to fight ebola. congress passed it, bipartisan majority in both chambers, five weeks after he submitted it. that helped make sure that ebola wasn't a big problem in the united states. it wasn't just an accident that ebola didn't become a big threat, we fought ebola and we beat ebola. i can't explain why we don't have the same urgency around zika. maybe people don't really appreciate how serious it is, they don't appreciate the kind of threat it poses. and it's a new disease, one that we're not as familiar with. but that disease will definitely impact our country. it's not coming, it's here. we have a couple hundred people in the united states with the disease already. almost 300 pregnant women in the u.s. and territories with the disease. we need to get on top of this. we need to fund the pres

. >> zeke by phone here joining us.t's an obvious political observation that donald trump has benefited greatly from all the press coverage, and we can say that even as we cover him. yet at the same time, it has been pointed out in the "new york times" today an article about all of his troubles in pinpointing hillary's problems in a week where there was actually an obama administration report from the state department, critical to her tenure on the e-mails issue. a lot of republicans are saying that didn't get much attention because the trump show with all of its out-of-control excitement is getting attention. is that something anti-trump protesters actually fear? >> that's right, ari. it's really interesting to talk to republicans today just on that point. donald trump has been very committed, certainly, even this week with the firing of rick wiley and the reshuffling of that campaign, that trump is doubling down on the trump show. this is going to be trump's campaign. he's not really going to professionalize it. to th

let's start with the sport worlds reaction to the zeke sca virus.rico's secretary of health said she was outraged at baseball's move insisting puerto rico is, in fact, safe. do you think this decision was based on fear or do you think there is valid, scientific concern here? >> we always have to remember that zika virus is real. it's not, like, it's something that's made up. so, let's be very candid. there is a very serious threat to their country as well as the united states as well as other countries in central and south america because of this virus. it is a mosquito-carried virus and that means you can either gut it from being bitten by a mosquito or the transmission after someone has bitten by the mosquito and then they have some time of contact with you. now, the bigger problem here is that if you wanted to go to the baseball game or -- and do whatever you wanted to do, that's up to you. but bigger problem here is if you wanted to go to the baseball game that's up to you but the bigger issue is if these men go to puerto rico and play the baseb

the president's request for supplemental funding for the zika virus as outlined in h.r. 5044, the zeke gentleman supplemental appropriations. i thank my appropriations ranking member, nita lowey, and lee lawyero for their ongoing leadership to help protect our constituents. more than 120 floridians now have the zika virus. including 36 pregnant women. last week, there were an estimated 157 pregnant women in the continental united states, and 122 more in the territories who have contracted zika. the house must take real action to protect our citizens. it is an outrage that we are not adequately responding to the calls of public health officials at the federal, state, and local levels who are clanging the alarm bells, imploring congress to act. last week the house approved the zika bill that is absolutely unacceptable. the bill the house passed would raid existing public health accounts, a dangerous precedent to set for appropriately responding to public health crises. this is an approach that doctor auchi, has called illogical. it only authorizes use of funds through september 30. let m
