Are trapped in failing districts because of their zip go code, Soledad Obrien discovered the illegal enrolment process in schools. Its 7 30 in the morning. Jack larkin is getting ready for school. We need to do the writing journal. I did. Your philosophy journal. I did. Jack and his parents live in millbrn new jersey, about half an hour from new york city, in a country that has some of the richest neighbourhoods and some of the poorest neighbourhoods in the state. Luckily for jack millbrn is a wealthy town, his School System is one of the best. How about a nice green apple . For a snack. Jacks mum, stephanie has a personal and professional take on the millbrn Public Schools. This is here in the hills. Shes a top real estate ate and knows the schools are the selling point of the neighbourhood. The suburbs are about the Elementary Schools. Love you, bye. There are five Elementary Schools. A middle school and millbrn high school which consistently ranks as one of the Top Performing schools in the country. App 98 graduation a 98 graduation rate. 70 of juniors and seniors taking and passing at least one advance placement test. In millbrn you get a great commute, fantastic community and excellent School System. Its the three things that most people are locking for. The schools are technically public. The price of administration to live in the township is a whopping 1. 3 million, the average sale price of a home. Average real estate taxes run around 20,000. There are lower priced rentals, but no officially designated affordable housing. The way it works is you go to school. Theres a zip code education system. Laura waters is president of the Lawrence Township school board in Mercer County and author of mjleftbehind. Millbrn offers 28 ap course, they have access to their academic interest in all sorts of ways. A few miles down the road its a different story. If you live 10 miles away from millbrn. In newark new jersey, you might go to Barringer High School as opposed to Barringer High School. They have about a 56 graduation. There are almost no ip courses. Most of the kids fail to reach proficiency. The reason those kids go to barringer is thats where their parents can afford to live. Barringer is considered a worstperforming schools. Violence is route ip. In october 2012 a male student was stabbed to death. Two years earlier a female student was sexually assaulted in a classroom. They dont have a choice, they are stuck. They cannot go another Public School. No. And that seems to me so unfair. Not everyone is stuck. New jersey does have Charter Schools and an Interdistrict Transfer Program for a small number of students. The High Performing School districts want to protect their borders. After all, its their local property taxes that are paying for the schools. Schools try to be vigilant about creating a Registration System that confirms that the children who are enrolled in the school actually live in the district because the people who live in a wealthy district are funding the education. They are personally funding the schools. It comes on the back of those taxpayers. If you say theres a kid from newark trying to sneak in, we are not going to pay for that. Private investigator knows the extremes that schools will go to to keep students out. Hes built his business on it. They verify residents. In response to the growing number of School Districts reaching out to him to make sure all the students lived where they said they did. Its a border control. Wall to wall monitors, and his partner tracked hun drds of students. How does it work. Walk me through the process. Does the school reach out to you and say we have a suspicion about a student . The school will reach out and say wed like you to do an audit of the student roster. We run the student names through a database. It will come off as out of district, out the town, out of state. In new jersey there was a lot of cases where the students lived in pennsylvania and new york city and coming to school in new jersey, and we can identify those kids. There are no real statistics on how many students are enrolled immediately in schools outside the district where they live. The School Board Association says they dont track the data. But there are more than 500 School Districts in the state. In many cases there are poorly performing schools, blocks away from highly performing schools. Border hopping happens all the time. Theres one district where its common to have students. They confront them, have officers that confront the officers. How do you feel about it personally. Like in theory everywheres Public School should be equif leftenlt as an vettor i try not to get involved in why people do what they do. Bottom line is they are breaking the law. For an educator its a little more complicated. That is something i struggled with. Adam freed is superintendent of Harrington ParkSchool District. As a teacher we know what we need to do. As a superintendent, because of our tax structure in the state of new jersey we have stakeholders that we are responsible for. How much of your budget here comes from the taxes of the people that live in the district. Its roughly 90 . Have you hired a private investigator before . We had to. It breaks your heart to do that. You though theres 5,000 Community Members that you are responsible for, and you have the ultimate responsibility. As an educator, thats the thing that drives your heart. In new jersey the consequences include expulsion or paying back the School Districts tuition. In ohio, pennsylvania and five other states, boundary hoppers can be charged criminally. I never thought i would go to gaol for lying about my zip code. When we return, parents locked up for stealing on education. Before the break special correspondent Soledad Obrien told us about boundary hopping, families that sneak their kids into the good schools. In the second half of Soledad Obriens indepth report we meet parents facing serious penalties for doing it. Kelly williams bonar is a 43yearold mother and teachers aid. She went to gaol in 2011 for illegally enrolling her children in the wrong School District. I had issues with my neighbourhood, an unsafe neighbourhood. I had a prowler around the home, someone that broke into my home. I talked to my father. He said send them to our school, my school. You are here every day, all the time anyway. Was it done to sort of sneak it in . Did you know you were putting an address you dont . Ive been working for the School System. I knew about a lot of students that did the same thing. Find on address, put it down. It wasnt so much that i found it, this was my dads address. We live off the same road. He lived in the township and i lived in the city. We literally live five minutes away. The township had better schools. Yes, they had good schools. She loved the school. Her daughter enrolled in her fathers district. They had thinks i never would think Elementary School had. We had a computer lab. We had the garden outside, the old greenhouse, and i was grateful to have been able to go there for just two years. Tell me how you were court. They would understand i had an investigator from cleveland area, and he would come down and watch and men they came to their conclusion saying they had clear and convincing evidence. Williams withdrew her children from school and enrolled them back in acron. It was a huge difference. It was huge. We didnt learn much. There was a lot of disruptive in classes. There was no resources. It was just completely different. I felt like i was not learning anything at all. Williams bowler was surprised when 18 months later she was indicted. What was the charges. Grand theft, which was the money. Then forgery she went to gaol for nine days. The judge said she wanted to send a message to others like her. You know, i had the swabbing of the mouth, i had the fingerprinting. I had the picture. Who was taking care of your daughters . My dad. My father. He had the he had to watch them and keep them. In his house in the district they allegedly never were in. Right, right. Williams bolars story generated outrage. A petition to free her went phial. Ohios governor pardoned her. I wouldnt have done it. I wouldnt have done it. People do it for their jobs, safety, education. So many Different Reasons why a parent would want to take their child out of that district into another district. Alicia of pennsylvania were also arrested and charged with theft of services or stealing on education. We got handcuffs like criminals with a belt. With a leather belt. We went to gaol, spend a couple of hours in gaol. Ham let garcia married alisia, a ukrainian immigrant. In 2011 they had marital issues and alicia moved out of home moving in with alicias father, a home owner in montgomery. They enrolled in kindergarten at pyne road. They reconciled and the girls moved back to philadelphia. They decided to let their daughter finish the school year in the grandfathers School District. Thats when the trouble began. The School District contacted us in april and said theres a problem with your residency. We came in to meet with the principle, and whapt. She keeps insisting i never lifted there the superintendent wouldnt talk to us. She made good on her threat and turned the case over to police. The garsias say they were cooperating. Alicia showed Voter Registration and other proof. We havent heard anything for maybe a month. And then in august he called us and said that we have a choice to turn ourselves in or he was putting out a warrant to arrest us. What was going through your mind while they were finger printing you and processing you. Disgusting. Disgusting. To the system, to everything. Everything came to my head of disgusting. I couldnt believe that it was happening in america over education. A 5yearold child. And i pleaded with superintendent. I said, look, we are good parents, we are good citizens, im a business owner, you know, i never did anything. I walked a straight line. The gars turned themselves in. The trial is set for next week. In the criminal complnt it was alleged they stole 10,000 from the country, the cost of one years education. The School District website reads sna in peninsula, as in all stateses School Districts get some federal and state funding. Property taxes are the primary source or funding Public Schools. The gap between rich and poor School Districts is so vast that the state earned a d on the National Report card on school funding. That report card is put out by the Education Law Center in new jersey. There would be an argument from a school saying, listen, we fund the school with taxpayer money, some state and some federal funds, but the people in the Community Pay for the school. Thats in this county. So you are not from here. You dont get to attend. I can answer the argument. My wife did live in that street. My father is a taxpayer that opens a house. I believe every child should have access to quality education, regardless of the colour of the skin, bagged, ethnicity. They say you go, its in philadelphia, not montgomery. My answer is thats wrong. We are members of the same country, do not treat me like an illegal alien wouldnt the argument be right, you should stay in philadelphia where you pay taxes. If the schools are unsafe. If you live in philadelphia because you are a person that dont have the money to live in monty python. Thats not your fault that you cannot make the same money. Is the school that is in your neighbourhood in philadelphia, is it safe. It isnt safe. They didnt pass the ayp, the no child left behind. The monty python assistant da cancelled a planned interview with us. The garcias think they are a test case. The lower moorland School District identified 10 families who had illegal enrolled there the same year. They were ousted but the only family being prosecuted is the garcias. The garcia family, to make an example, making sure everyone in philadelphia this can happen to you. Its an interesting phrase, cross the border. Thats the way they treat the citizens. We are talking about filly, not canada. Yes, well there is a line where we dont want people to cross. Soledad obrien reports to us that the garcias did offer to pay their debts, they were rebuffed. The garcias go to trial. Well follow up. Now to another movement in Education Learning at home. There are 1. 7 million Children Home schooled in the united states. Often we are told homeschooled children thrive, outperform their Public School peers. But as Sheila Mcvicar reports theres questions of risk and safety. Rowana ward works on spelling with her 8yearold son joel. Ward is home schooling, something she is passionate about. Parents set their own lesson plans and decide what and how to teach. There are no legislation. Oklahoma is the one state where the right to home school is enshlined in constitution. There was one in 25 states where there was little or no oversight. Home owners dont have to show that education is taking place. Ward is a member of a conservative Christian Organization with a powerful lobbying arm, fighting for and winning the deregulated environment. Theres a gap between the home school ideal and the reality. No regulations means parents dont have to register their home schoolchildren, and its up to the parents to make sure the kids are getting an education. Here at this gated housing we are told that there are dozens of kids, as many as 100 or more of all ages, who are not in school and not getting education at home either. Theres no way to know because no one is keeping any records. We are really concerned for the children. We hear stories of kids 10 years old who dont know their alphabet. Ulanda walked for the Oklahoma Office of juvenile affairs. This is a hidden issue, behind the vil of home schooling. Truancy laws dont fly. In many states theres no testing. Theres no oblesz on the part of the parents to show education is taking place. No, no one will check on you. Heather donty knows a thing or two about bad situations. Donty helped to start the coalition of an organization of home schooled kids pushing for oversight. We have kids in every state, some more than others. Dozens of cases. Until donty started her work there was not an attempt to keep track. Children removed from school or never sent to school in religious or dysfunctional ones. Starved, beaten or killed. Parents should not have the right to decide whether or not their child gets an education. America tonight had a tremendous online response to sheilas indepth story. Joining us to talk about the reactions out there in social media is our digital producer. You know, this really did its been some of the greatest emotion and conversation online on any subjects. We had hundreds of responses, people that wrote out fulllength stories. We had a lot of tweets. You can really look at the conversation that played out that eflects the fractured movement reflects the fractured movement. We hear so many things about home schooling. Its been around three decades. I thought there was a lot of testing that went on, a lot of supervision of home schooled kids. Its true, and its referenced in the report. From some of the people, it was, over time quickly deregulated. One of the people we spoke with, her name is rachel. She was home schooled in ohio. During a time when many parents, who were religious christians felt there wasnt god in schools. Her parents home schooled her and she thought change happened where regulations dropped and she saw a difference in education. They were very rigid at the beginning. We had to take the same tests that were being given in our local Public Schools, and then it moved to we had to take a standard achievement test, and it moved to we didnt have to be tested at all, we just needed a sign off. She saw that first hand. The books and kur ukulum changed. Every state is different, and some people have a great experience. You hear this, there has been extraordinary stories of kids that had gone on to colleges. And have been amazingly successful. One young woman we heard from is huder, and she was home schooled. Huder had a fantastic experience. One of the things she highlighted was that she said while being home schooled thee didnt have to deal with a lot of gender rolls. She didnt know about the stereo type of young women or girls excelling in maths. She was a maths and science nerd. She loved it. She told us more about how she was fully socially entrying crated. Thats a concern that many students bring up, is they had maybe not the most social experience. She had a great one. All her siblings were homeschooled and she went on to study at college. Shes an academic success story. Her parents didnt decide to home school her for religious reasons, but they moved from japan and had different requirements and different languages and felt in order to give their children a good education, the parent made sure they equipped them with individual needs that they had. But there have been some horror stories. There has been incredible stories of trauma. One young woman, her name is marie, and she had a lot to share about how isolated she felt. She struggled with depression and other things. They lived in an area that was isolated. She was allowed little access to people to talk to. She felt it was so important to share her story because she often felt silenced and had something to tell us about that. I and a lot of other home schoolers feel that the Home School Community does not want to hear our stories or acts like we are not real home schoolers because we may have come from a fundamental religious background. Thats a fight we are talking about that we saw play out with a twitter hash tag. Everyone wants to talk about this. Everyone wants to talk about it. Also, as well, we want to reach out on other subjects. Coming up to the state of the Union Address that the president will give on tuesday nightment we are reaching out for audiences. We have a fun project. Thats dear president of the united states. Tell him the one thing you want. Write it on a piece of paper or a poster. Take a photo of yourself holding that message. Tell us what you want us to tell the president and well share it. Well share it with the world. Thank you very much. Well be back with more after break. Imagine if you lost physical connection to the world around you. Its hard to comprehend. For one man his severe disability inspired him to develop the power to do anything at least with the help of a robot. Here is science and technology correspondent, jacob ward. For more than a decade henry evans started the day with help from his wife join. Do you feel like i missed anything . In 2002 at the age of 40, evans, an athletic father of four suffered a basile artery disection, a haemorrhage in his brain stem caused by a rare congenital defect. Overnight he became mute and quad ra pleejic. Hes completely paralyzed. A month afterwards he gained some movement in his index and thumb. With therapy evans re gained some movement in his head and thumb and communicate with his wife through a letter board. How does it work . Its all in order. Henry, Say Something on the board. You see his eyes are around here. Now lets say i guess a letter and its wrong. She he shakes his head. We got an lo we got a lot fa faster when she de desides. When she sides to put words in my mouth. They have been communicating this way for so long, she can gs the words hes spelling bit the movement of his eyes. They met as teenager in st. Louis missouri. Our first date everything clicked. I knew i would marry him. They got married after college and moved to california, when evans earned an mda. They began a family. Life was clicking into place. Henry was a doer, a chief financial officer. Everything was done 100 miles an hour. Evans communicates with everyone outside his family. Mostly through email. A device on his laptop attracts head movements. It allows him to control the curser and type out words. He responded through Audio Software to questions we september him. Tell us about your life before the dissection. I had a fall life. The last thing i expected was a major health problem. When i finally opened my eyes, i saw my parents who lived 2,000 miles away. Apparently all six of my siblings had flown and the doctors told them to expect a funeral. All i could move were my eyes. Sounds like a horrific circumstance to wake up to. How did it affect you emotionally to discover you were in that condition . I was an emotional wreck for three years after the stroke, mostly because the Emotional Center of my brain was destroyed. I either broke out laughing uncontrollably or crying despondently. He described too me he feels like a ghost looking in on his family. He begged me to take his life, begged me. He had it planned out. That i was to shoot him and bury him in the backyard. Slowly evans came to terms with his situation and thought about how he could use technology to participate in the world outside his home. I was laying in bed watching cnn when professor charlie tech came on and demonstrated a rob opt. You can move to the tied and it follows you. It turns. I immediately thought of using it as a body surrogate and emailed the company. To my surprise they answered right away. Into it was the first of many emails to launch a projected called robots for humanity. We are working on a 3prong program which will expand the worlds of people. We hope to make present devices located in interesting locals throughout the united states, available to people from around the world. Robots for humanity was a huge change. It gave him a purpose. Using robots to try to free up paralyzed people. It could be as small as holding a plastic device so henry could rub his head and scratch his head for the first time. At Brown University in rhode island chad jenkins studies humanrobot interaction and learning. Our work is to take the axis from robots from the Research Laboratories and companies and make them broadly accessible to the public. They created soft pair for people like evans to control robots, using a web interface. Everyone knows how to use a web browser. It works for so many different device, such as that used by the physically disabled. A recent project produced a web interface to control a quad copter drone. Equipped with a video camera it enables people like evans to explore places that they cant visit physically. It occurred to me that i didnt need my whole body, just my retinas. Within a few weeks i was flying. After so much time in one place, it offers a feeling of freedom. Henry is a very aggressive flyer. An aggressive pilot. We had any number of crashes. You want to do all sorts of things we never imagined. Henry wanted to fly and land on the basketball hoop. I had never thought about plying on a roof and looking at things to closely. Its his imagination that is pushing us in new directions. Evans visits the lab several times a week. Sometimes just for a game of robot soccer. Who do people in your position need from roboticsment what would it take for you to feel independent. I dont see any way to become completely independent through the use of robotic technologies. However, if you are familiar with any quadry pleejics, do you know that it doesnt take much to improve their plight. But a surrogate mechanism allows a paralyzed person to manipulate their environment without the help of another. Its the physical aspect of exercising free will making us feel fully human. You could say why are we spending the time and Research Money to do this, when its cheaper to hire a caregiver when i come free. Its the independence of knowing i did this for myself that is huge. That is what robots did for henry. That report from al jazeeras jacob ward. Next, a body of work. One womans powerful answer to cat conversation city streets sometimes function as a mans playground. There was one woman fed up with unwanted attention she turned the cat calls into art, putting a face on harassment. Street harassment, to me, is the waunted attention and interaction and behaviour that a woman receives outside on the street. Its something as simple as requesting a smile from a woman, or faulting a woman. You are outside in a public space, and you feel like you are out there to be consumed by people, like there was public property that anyone can touch or say anything to. Its a serious problem and issue, affecting you. This is something that happens daily to a woman like myself and around the world. So it hit me to do something outside in the street where it happens. Stole telling them to smile started in philadelphia. It wasnt until i moved to philadelphia, where your a pedestrian city, everyone is outside all the time. Im coming from direct contact with men all the time. Thats when i noticed, okay, this is not just a compliment, its happening consistently. It was annoying, sometimes scary. The peace outed by me interviewing people. We had a conversation. What do you go through, what have you experienced, what is your story when it comes to street harassment. I shoot a portrait, i shoot a photograph and from that photograph i do the drawing, and the drawing is as simply black and white, graphite drawing. I come up with a text in the caption, inspired by what she told me. I go out, i find wall spaces. I repeat them. You can make it at home with flour and water or buy paste. I put it on the wall first, and then i put up the poster and more on top of that. It says that im not up there for your entertainment. She came to me to talk about the idea about telling a woman to smile, and it wasnt until we had that conversation in new york that i actually experienced feeling uncomfortable walking down a street, going towards her house. It was during that time i was like wow. This is what she means. I think that people dont realise that something thats seemingly harmless as a quest to smile can significantly become something harmful, dangerous. If you dont respond to a man in the way that he wants to respond to him, he can curse you out, throw something at you, become scary and violent. Felt like i was a piece of meat. I think that message resonates. Im there for your entertainment. Leave me alone, give me my space. When someone says that to me, its just a compliment. As a defense, i kind of take offense to that. Im talking about someone aggressively sexualizing me in a rude way. In an unwelcomed way. Thats not a compliment. I am the one who perceives what a compliment is or isnt. What im talking about are not compliments. Im not talking about someone coming up and saying hey, your sweater is nice, and saying thank you. Thats a compliment. Street art is crucial to creating awareness. The most profound thing that happened is it created conversations to change the behaviour of people, and of society. Ive had a few people who didnt know what street harassment was or didnt understand it, and in a 5 minute conversation were into the project and really supporting it and quickly got what street harassment was, and was a couple of guys who after talking to them, they are like, oh, i have six sisters and see it all the time. I had a lot of conversations are men that i dont know, they have been enlightened and have been they are open and willing to talk about and learn about this, which is all that im asking for with anyone, to look at the work and consider the work, to think about it and consider what someone other than yourself goes through. Its a way to take up space for a woman on the corner and sidewalk. Because a lot of times we feel like we are treated as though we dont have a right to the outdoor space. You know standing up for yourself and putting your voice out this. This one is me. This is the first one that i made. The project has become bigger that just myself, and would i go through and im okay with that, with being this tool for other women to use to get the story out. Women in bragg line and everywhere else. Pride and pain how the american treasure oars levelled the plays field. S finally a California University is taking a swing in order to shine a spotlight on an ugly time in history. These are two american treasures, great men with great nicknames. Jim grant and sweet lou johnson. I dont appreciate because in 1965 the son of a biscuit eater hit a home run and beat us that ball game. Grant was the first African American pitcher in the American League to win 20 gams in a season. Sweet lieu was the hero of the 1965 world series. His l. A. Dodge es beat the mud cat twins. Its what they endured off the field and on that has researchers at u. F. C. s annen pushing school interesting. The school is putting together an oral history of africanamericans, who played baseball in the 25 years since jackie robin on debuted. U. F. C. Intends to chronicle as many stories and triumph as they can. First of all because its one of the most important things we can do. To me it will be the most important thing i accomplish in my academic career. Now there is a sense of urgency. Paul blare, last month, passed away at the age of 69. Dr durbin would have liked to have interviewed dr blair. It was the same circumstances confronting steven spil burg. Holocaust survivors were dying before they could be interviewed. You have players, many who have died, most of whom or all of whom who have important stories. If no one saves them, theyll be gone forever. It makes it a tremendously important project. The first player to be interviewed was mudcat. The conversation was meant to last a few hours. They went on for four days. Including one session seen here in front of a classroom full of students in a sport marketing class. You rarely talk to white at that time. Mudcat keeps an office filled with memorabilia in the cen shaw district. I have a photo in here of me in sant ra pay. No, you dont. I do. Its where we met up with him. A lot of the history is disappearing. We have to maintain a certain type of scenario where these brothers have brought force all the time. Thats why i have all of these pictures in here, because of a history of disappearing. What kind of history exactly . Well, a source showed restraint required of these men. It made me better. Why do the ball players attack the ball. You guys really attack it. Thats right. Simple, its white. Thats the silent way of getting back at them [ bleep ] at the ball. Slide hard into the white base. [ laughs ] and im saying this because of the times i wouldnt have said it, but its the truth. This is why i laugh. Automatic deposit. You may not like me, you may not want me to stay in your hotel, but the first and 15th, im drawing a painting. What is amazing is that during any interview, therell be a time in which everything stops and the person being interviewed starts to talk about something they havent talked about with anyone else. Like the time when, in an exhibition baseball game, grant and vick power got a crude backhanded compliment from the hall of fame legend. He said, i am vick power in his porta rican language and todd said, i know who you [ bleep ] boys are, youre doing pretty good for yourselves, [ laughs ] and sometimes when times are hard or thoughts are hard i think about the laughter. Its a deeper story of serious issues in American History and culture that have resonance that should be saved. The worst thing that i went through in my career, even though i was kicked by a policeman because i didnt say, yes, sir, and of all the other indig nitties that i suffered back at that time, even the kuklux clan. When the four girls were killed, that was the worst time. There was four little girls and how a ku klux klan guy put dynamite in the church and killed the children. Even though i knew of other atrocities and even though we were shot at, i think that was something that i could hardly take. Mud cat says he was so upset he got into a fight with a white teammate from texas, who made a comment that would have normally rolled off his back. He said if we catch you in texas, well hang you from the nearest tree. I said, im glad you said that, we are not in texas, we are in cleveland ohio, and i hit him, knocked him down. I was suspended. But recognising and hearing about the girls being murdered. That was the worst time in my life. I can put up with a lot of stuff. But that was the worst time for me. This oral history project is not without controversy. At least one team has not made its alumni available, preferring to have a Team Employee doing the interview and send the recording to u. S. C. Dr urban is concerned about censorship and hopes the team comes around and grants him access. If you think the project is about terrible stories of hardship risen to this one. Beginning when the Cleveland Indians were on a roadtrip and he gets a call in the hotel room. The president would like to you have breakfast with him, i dont, i dont, and i hung up the phone. It rang again saying, the president would like to have breakfast with you this morning. He knows the indians are in town, back in those days we were getting threatening phone calls, as well you know of. I says, listen, dont call my room any more, and i hung up the phone again. Well, they came up and knocked on the door. And you can tell them anywhere they dressed alike, they looked alike. And i said, this must be something, they knocked on the door and opened the door slightly and said we hate to bother you, but president kennedy would like to have breaklast. I got doctored down there. They were president kennedys biggest day and said, mudcraft come in. Id like to have breakof the. I dont mind at all. Stuff like that. They knew about baseball, they discussed civil rights. When j. F. K. Asked mudcat if there was anything he could do. He told him about the lack of supplies and companies in his home up to. He kept in touch with me and times did change. You know, we got a school, we got books and housing. Its still there to this day. Our school is still there to this day. Ive got this photo of me and president kennedy together, shaking hands, of some things he promised would happen that came true. Michael with some american treasure oars. Thats it for us here on america tonight. Well have more on america tonight coming up tomorrow. Welcome to al jazeera america. Im Jonathan Betz with the top stories.
