Assads victory is guaranteed. Reporter lets go through the reasons, tony, or some of the reasons why assads victory is guaranteed. Number one, the only people who could vote are living in areas controlled by the government. Number two, the opposition candidates, if you can call them that, neither of them are known at all. One of them said that they would be honored to come in second. Number three, well, this vote is being held during one of the deadliest conflicts of the 21st century.

Reporter syrias main ally russia said tonight echoing what you heard from the foreign minister of syria, that today should be the beginning of the political process that ends the war, but a senior opposition member saying tonight this election was, quote a black comedy. Nick, i dont know what the answer to this question is, but ill put it to you any way. Where does the international community, where do they go next . Reporter i think there is a slight consensus that nothing is going to change. But ive been speaking with a western official here, and what they said was what we expect is a technocratic government launched by assad, and that is a sign that hes closing ranks in even further. Bottom line most people here believe this is an excuse for him, or this will be the reason that he uses in order to stop giving in or not give in at all politically, and also continue to crush the opposition. Nick schifrin is in pay route for us. Thank you. Former military chief al sisi will be the countrys new president. Egypts Electoral Commission said that al sisi received 97 of the vote.

But dempsey is saying, like any american he is innocent until proven guilty. Our armys leaders will not look away from misconduct if it occurred. Randall pinkston joins us now from new york, randall . Democrats have begun to criticize a president as well. More about that in a moment. President obama saying that whatever the circumstances of sgt. Bowe bergdahls captivity, the bottom line the u. S. Does not leave any soldier behind. The release of a prisoner of war almost always ends in celebration. But there was criticism because of the exchange of high ranking taliban detainees. It is claimed that some are responsible for thousands of deaths. The president needs to be able to look the American People in the eye and explain to the American People why he was justified in releasing the five individuals, and why their background didnt demand and mandate that they be detained at guantanamo for an indefinite period of time. Reporter now the deal that freed sgt. Bergdahl, it restricts the detainees movements for the next year. President obama defended the arrangement. The release of the taliban who were being held in guantanamo was conditioned on the qataris keeping eyes on them and creating a structure to monitor their activities. Well be keeping eyes on them. I wouldnt be doing it if i thought it was contrary to American National security. We have confidence that we will be in a position to go after them if in fact, they are engaging in activities that threaten our defenses. Reporter but tonight there is a stunning rebuke for the president from a senior democr democrat, california senator Dianne Feinstein revealed in in 2011 she was one of the senators who were briefed on the possibility of a prisoner swap. She wrote a letter to the president expressing rejection of the releasing of the five detainees. I strongly believe we should have been consulted, that the law should have been followed, and i very much regret that that was not the case.

Energy todays power politics it is primary day in eight states and the races could have an impact. Tony, republicans need a net gain of six senate seats to take the seats away from the democrats.

He may be unelectable in november but he has helped by a relentless of tea party ads with cochrane ties to washington. Over 10 trilliondollar of debt ceiling increases and he voted to fund obamacare. And 41 years is enough. Retire. Com. If cochrane loses today the odds go way up for democratic nominee, he is hoping to be the first democrat voted into a Mississippi Senate seat in 40 years. Bruce braley will be the Senate Democratic nominee in iowa, although he could be vulnerable thanks to his career as a trial lawyer. And joni ernst is a veteran who bragged about cas castrating pigs in ads. And in california there is an intriguing primary today in the race for governor.

Were also looking at hail. Golf ball sized. Iowa, were looking at problems coming into the area. This is what we saw in terms of reports in storm damage, and this is going to only grow for the next four to six hours. This is going to be a longlasting storm. So right now Tornado Warnings are in effect for central parts of nebraska. A Tornado Warning means tornadoes are on the ground or are imminent. And as you can see tornado watches encompasses the area. This is going to be a long night. Were looking at a highrisk area here. High risk areas dont happen very often. Only seven times a year so you never want to diminish anything that you see with that. If youre traveling on the highway its going to be a major problem. Weve got a line of storms moving through the new york area as well. Appreciate it. Thank you. Still to come on Al Jazeera America.

While shine china has never released a death toll for the crackdown estimates for civil rights groups, the historic acts of defiance may be lost on many of todays young people in beijing. Reporter 25 years ago students in china were agitate the political change. And unprecedented display of defiance against the countrys communist rulers. But the prodemocracy movement survived seven weeks before being suppressed by military force on june 4th. Now a quarter of century on the events that have time still remain a taboo subject for many of todays students. Its inconvenient for me to talk about this. Generally im neutral. Im not on the sides of the government or the students. Reporter today students are on the throws of another revolution, one of rising expectation. Born after the bloodshed she has come to this career fear hope to go find a whitecollar job with a sally of 7salary of 700 a month. I know very little about this part of history.

Today she manages a shop specializing in skateboarding and accessories. She says they have no relevance to her generation. 25 years ago young people worried about having enough food and keeping warm. Today we want to show off our personalities. Reporter they still have grievances but know they cant change the political system.

So millions of cars recall, certainly didnt put a dent in sells. Reporter i dont drive much. I live in manhattan. I had a car several years here and all did i was pay for insurance and parking. Exactly. Reporter i would think an after all these recalls my impress would be that it would slow down auto sales, or at least slow down auto sales in General Motors, mmhmm. The industrys annual sales rate at 17 million, thats the best showing since 2007, way before the recession. Leading the pack was chrysler, 17 increase in may compared to last year. Thats jeeps. Jeeps have new models and the rack truck. General motors came in with a 13 over last year. Best in six years. Ford posted a 3 gain. Toyota and nissan will the both of them had double digit gains. Analysts say there are other things going on. Easy credit. A recent report shows the average car loan in may was 28,000 and it is not uncommon for consumers to put down less than 10. There may be other som some other things at play here. On top of that General Motors sales from fleet sales. You know, ford is trying to get out of the fleet business. Ford doesnt want you to know them from the car rental lot. I got to ask you 13 for General Motors in may . Yes. That still is surprising, isnt it . Reporter it is surprising under any circumstances let alone the fact that they recalled more cars than most people thought they made. These figures prove that consumers are unfazed, its not just General Motors. Everybody else has decided to recall cars because of what happened to General Motors. General motors has not seen any measurable impact from the Record Number recall, but there may be challenges. Reuters is reporting that 74 people died in general motor cars involved in accidents similar to those that were linked to the faulty ignition switches. They were not able to make the complete connect, but accident where is airbags did not deploy and the driver or passenger were killed. Mother bad news potentially for General Motors. Cant wait for the program, real money with ali velshi, thank you. Average deadly virus is threatening the u. S. Pork industry. It has killed millions of piglets and leading to higher prices at the grocery store. We have more now from iowa. Reporter here on the rolling landscape of americas pork belt lurks a quiet killer. In disease craig rolls, like most of his neighbors, lost thousands of young piglets to diarrhea virus. The disease has wiped out 7 to 10 of the pigs in the United States. Adult pigs tend to survive, but the death rate among piglets is nearly 100 . I received a call from the manager who said hey, something is wrong. Its like being hit with the punch to the gut when we realized what was happening. We knew all across the United States how devastating it was going to be, and it was just as devastating for us, even though we knew what was coming. Reporter the latest death is recorded in britain. But the current strain is reported to come from china. The hardest hit are not farmers who are earning more on their remaining pigs but consumers. Pork prices are jumped from 3. 64 a pound last year and could hit a record 3. 90 this year. It is new. We never experienced in the United States, so we have to learn about the virus, how to handle it, and number two, it has had a significant impact, we think, and its going to have a bigger impact in the future on supplies. Reporter researchers say pork remains safe to eat. The virus has no direct impact on humans, but many farmers are waiting months to insure that the virus is gone before they bring in new piglets. Reporter for years pig farms had tight security measures. Hazmattype suits and booties are meant to keep disease out. It was economically devastating, but it was emotionally disturbing as well. We dont want to go to work thinking we have to euthanize piglets. Reporter in recent week indiana and elsewhere they have seen the virus return suggesting the immunity pigs develop has its limits. That has many in the pork belt wondering when and if the latest deadly virus will end. John henry, al jazeera, iowa. Several of sgt. Bowe bergdahls fellow soldiers have come forward since his release. Some say he was a deserter. Well speak to one soldier who served in Bowe Bergdahls platoon. And in one court there is a fist fight. As sgt. Bowe bergdahl recovers, there are questions regarding his disappearance. Since his release on saturday some of his fellow soldiers claim he intended to desert the military. With me is the army medic with sgt. Bergdahls platoon. Good to have you on the program. What do you think of sgt. Bergdahl as a soldier . He was quiet. He didnt share too many personal details at all. He minded his own business. He would like to write. He would spend a lot of time writing, did not share extra information and did what he had to do on a daily basis to get by. Would you describe the day that sgt. Bergdahl disappeared . Was it clear that he deserted . Yes, it was clear off the bat that something had happened. These times a day we did equipment check. The night before he left we had everything. Arrested 0600 we had bergdahls weapon, body armor, sensitive equipment and no bergdahl. It is clear that he intentionally wanted to walk off. There was no way that he was captured. There was no way that he strolled outthat he just opened the gate and walked out. He had to have purposely snuck out. What about the subsequent search, and what was that like for your unit . It was miserable. It was the a minimum of 90 days after it was called. We would get a tidbit of information, and we would go to that specific location where that information was from, and we would do a small foot patrol looking for anything out of the ordinary, talking to locals, and nothing would come up. We would go back to our vehicles, stay a couple more hours until another reliable intel hit would come on and we would go to the next spot. We did that for 90 days straight. And there were soldiers lost in the process of searching for him . Yes, there were many soldiers who ended up dying in the subsequent searches for Bowe Bergdahl. Do you harbor resentment towards sgt. Berg dal . You know, its justi want him to be held accountable for his actions. He is purposely and willfully left his post. He deserted me, his platoon. He deserted the United States army. He needs to be held 100 accountable for his actions. There is no excuse. No reason to think that he wont be, or is there . Iyou know, i certainly hope that he does go through the proper channels. So if thats a courtmartial, so be it, but he needs to be held accountable for what he did. Are you okay with the president fo with the president ultimately doing the swap. He is an United States citizen. He deserves to be in the safety of the United States. What i dont agree with certain people calling him a war hero or any kind of hero. I served with people who gave their lives in afghanistan, and those are the true heroes. Not someone who deserted their unit. Who is calling him a hero . Just different circles. You know, there was his hometo hometown. You really dont have a problem with his hometown thinking of him as a hero . But he deserted his post. He is not a hero. But you would expect his hometown to have a more favorable view of sgt. Bergdahl, am i correct in saying that . To a certain extent, yeah, but same people still deserve to hear the truth. That he is a deserter. He willfully and purposely left his post. You dont think he should have been left in afghanistan, do you . No, like i said before. He is an american citizen, and he deserves to be in the safety and comfort of the United States of america. Are you okay with the details of the swap, that members of the taliban, believed to be high ranking members of the taliban exchanged for his freedom. Thats way beyond what im here to say or what to do. Im here to talk about how Bowe Bergdahl needs to be 194 to be held accountable and hes not an american hero. You heard the statement saying that this situation will be looked at, or are you of an opinionare you of an opinion in anyway, shape or form that five years in captivity is enough, and there is a strong sentiment or there will be a strong sentiment to say that five years is enough and he should be allowed to live life. I havent been held captive by the taliban for five years, but its been five years of me talking with members of my platoon, of members of bergdahls platoon that he abandoned. Its been the last five years of people who arent fully knowledgeable and only have gotten their information from certain sources whether that information is reliable or not. They dont know the full truth. And so i have already had to live for the last five years without any kind of closure of why bergdahl did this, and people look at me saying, you were the army unit that lost Bowe Bergdahl. Ive had to live with that and so has every other member of my platoon. Weve had to live with that for the last five years. Let me rephrase what i think perhaps might be at play here, and you tell me if im wrong. There is a sense that you have, having been in that unit, that he deserted and that he needs to be brought to justice, and that your concern is that there is no appetite in the United States to prosecute a man who has been held by the taliban for five years, is that your concern . And that he will be given a pass for what he did to your unit . Yes, certainly. People will turn a blind eye to what actually happened, and that he walked away willingly and purposely from his post, and people will accept him and say he was held for five years, poor Bowe Bergdahl, and thats the general consensus, and that wrong. Do you take the military at its word that the pentagon will take a look at this . Y, absolutely. I trust that they will do the right thing and look indepth at the circumstances and how bergdahl deserted his post. The army medic with Bowe Bergdahls platoon. Pleasure to talk with you. Thank you.

Meteorologist thats right, tony, were looking at six tornadoes in nebraska. We believe this will be an event. I want to take you back to 2012.

An unique primary election in california, the top two vote getters will go to the general election regardless of party affiliation. R fault lines the school to prison pipeline only on Al Jazeera America in california voters are heading to polls today, but it is not your average primary election. The state implemented a top two primary system. Were joined by lisa in San Francisco. Interesting but not typical. Reporter its a dramatic change. The top two primary is known as a jungle primary. That gives you an idea of what some political observers think of this. This is a primary where in many races well see two democrats go through to the general election. We have one race where there are 18 candidates, and also we have heard from more than one source that there are democrats who today will be voting for the rightwing republican because they think if he goes through to the general election than democratic governor jerry brown has a better chance of winning in november. Certainly this is a different kind of election day here. How are you. Reporter he is a republican candidate for state assembly who knows he will live but campaigns any way. Im frustrated by the fact that im not going to go past the primary unless lightening strikes. Reporter thats because california has done away with the traditional primary system. The top two vote getters, regardless of party, will face each other in general election. In heavily democratic San Francisco he knows it will be two democrats vying for the seat he wants. Voters made the change four years ago. Californias were fed up with gridlock in the state capitol. Those who reacted out of frustration and anger. Reporter they thought that the system would make the Assembly Less polarized by for forcing candidates to reach beyond party lines. There was already a shift towards the center since revisions and redistricting were implemented. This is the first test of the top two primary system for statewide offices. Lieutenant governor gavin newsome, who has seven opponents in the primary, said hes not doing anything different. It has not changed the campaign. Im not more moderate as a consequence versus being more progressive or liberal. Im still myself. Reporter yet many Democratic Candidates are now positioning themselves to attract the money and votes that would have gone to republican candidates. The intent of the top two primary system initially was to make california elections more inclusive, but political analysts say the unintended consequence is that third parties like the green party could be wiped out. Reporter the biggest winners under the new rules are political consultants. There is a lot more uncertainty, chaos in these elections. And quite frankly a lot more money being spent to figure it all out. To be a democracy is an ongoing experiment. But david said its not for the top two voting change he would have until the general election in november to get his message out. Now he knows rea realistically he only has until the poles close at the end of the day. And, indeed, that jungle primary that makes it i am employed that its more complicated and unpredictable in the past also has the implication for cost. Because now in many cases you have strong democrats who are fighting against each other in the primary. They both go through the general election and they have to spend millions of dollars again to fight each other twice in one year. So also a costly change in california in. Welcome to the jungle. Lisa bernard in San Francisco. More than 1 Million Students are homeless in this country. But one los angeles teenager is not letting homelessness hold her back. Shes acing her classes and sees education as her ticket to a brighter future. For the past six months this small room shared by two families has been the closest thing to a home 17yearold jamira has ever known.
