Markets in positive territory. Wall street lost more ground today ending its worst week since 2011. Ali velshi is here with more. Reporter first of all, it was expected, so it didnt have the effect that an unexpected jobs report would have. This has been a rough week for the markets. You and i have spoken about it a few times. The week ended with losses of nearly 6 . You can go through an entire year and get a 6 loss or gain in the market. To have it happen in one week is remarkable. Todays losses were into the as bad. 16345 was the do you index. This comes off the heels of the jobs report creating 292,000 net new jobs in december. That means jobs that were created minus jobs that were lost. That beat expectations in the 200,000 range. The Unemployment Rate which i tend to not look at as much remained unchanged at 5 . Roughly where it was before the recession started. The Labor Force Participation rate which i watch very carefully rose one tenth of a point. That means 62. 6 of adults were active in the workforce. That is still down from a peek of 67. 3 in 201 t but lets look at the year. 2015, the economy created on average 221,000 jobs per month, wages grew at about 2. 5 . Thats how we ended the year. A pretty good year given the jobs report, does that suggest that the fed will continue with its plan to raise rates again at the next meeting . Reporter yeah. It was a validation of the last meeting to start raising rates. Jobs at the top is an indicator for the federal reserve. It expects jobs to continue to grow. Thats what most are telling us, and wages to grow. 2015 saw some improvements in productivity and that means that the fed is on track to raise rates again probably in march. About the jobs by the way, most of the job gains were in higher paying areas, like business services, restaurants, things like that. Manufacturing is hurting and thats because of the strong dollar. It is affecting exports. The Energy Sector is hurting, obviously, because of the low price of oil. You cant frack as much. Were seeing jobs being lost there you can watch ali. U. S.

In china where much of the global turmoil started, it ended up nearly 2 . By all accounts, the chinese economy is slowing down and it is having an impact on traders and businesses alike.

Reporter they blame their problems on foreign speculators as well as a measure that was supposed to calm markets but actually had the reverse effect. Translation the government is trying to protect individual investors, but to be honest the system is not perfect. The system needs to be improved. Reporter the authorities have responded to that criticism suspending the circuitbreaker rule that halts trading when shares fall sharply, which happened twice this week. As a result, the market rose on friday. A partial recovery. Panic was subsiding. But the start of 2016 has set a pattern for what is expected to be a very difficult year for the worlds second largest economy. We do think there is a chance of hard course, there is a chance there is going to be a slow down. In china we put it at one in four reporter the stock market is an indicator, but not the indicator of chinas economy. The leadership here has more pressing issues right now. Namely, local government debt, housing bubble and over chas of Industries Like coal and steel which threat yenl widespread job losses in the coming months. Then what it cant control. In neighboring north korea the military this week claimed to have successfully tested a hydrogen bomb. The markets also worry about deepening diplomatic tensions between iran and saudi arabia. Last week chinas president seemed to allude to the challenges confronting his country. He told the nation that fruitful gains come with persistent efforts. His way, perhaps, of saying it is going to be a tough year. Adrian brown in north korea today there were public celebrations for that countrys recent nuclear test.

Up next, detained, we will speak to a woman who was detained over the weekend in an immigration raid in the u. S. A judge has stepped in and stopped her deportation for now. Plus. And they impregnate a young white girl before they leave and then we have another issue the governor of mayne has got an earful about that comment last night about race and drugs. He has apologised. Sort of. On saturday night we will take april deeper look at muslims and u. S. Politics, the anti muslim rhetoric by some president ial candidates is having some impact on some muslim voters. Thats tomorrow night. Since saturday in the u. S. Southwest immigration agents say they have rounded up more than 120 americans seeking asylum in the u. S. Most of those detained are women and children who came here during the migrant surge in 2014. As al jazeeras correspondent reports, efforts to deport them may have hit a roadblock reporter two weeks after celebrating christmas when the one gift she hoped for was asylum in the u. S. , this woman and her 12yearold daughter are back in detention awaiting deportation. They had crossed the mexico border last summer among the wave of women and children claiming to flee violence in central america. We spoke with her by phone inside the detention center. Her daughter was not safe in the country she says. She couldnt go to school because gangs would attack the school bus. The family had to pay extortion fees and when the money ran out, the gang killed an uncle and said the others were next. Thats when they fled. Once in the u. S. An asylum officer determined there was enough evidence for the mother and daughter to pursue their claim in court. They were released on bond to stay here with her sister in atlanta. Her sister said they had Police Reports to prove the family had been in danger, but an immigration judge denied the case and on the 2 january her nephew awoke to five agents pounding at the door theyre okay we will look for her. Reporter she wasnt home. Her frightened daughter told the agents her mom was at work. It was at the hotel where she had found a job as a made that she was arrested and taken to the airport along with her daughter. The the room they shared still had their things. They were not allowed to pack. Her sister says she understands when they target immigrants who are drunk drivers or delinquents, but why a mother and child trying to live a normal Life Reporter the scenes that have been described to us is nothing short of horrible. Reporter they have arrested 121 people since the new year. The raids targeted recent water crosses who had exhausted their legal remedies. But now last minute emergency orders from the nations highest Immigrations Appeals Court has temporarily halted the deportations of at least 12 families, including this woman and her daughter. They have stayed the deportation of every woman on whose behalf we have filed a request which is a message to immigration that they are wrong. That these women do have options and they do have rights. Reporter the government says it is doing its job by enforcing the countrys laws and values. Meanwhile, she says if she is sent back to her country, they have no future the advocacy director joins us from washington. The Obama Administration signalled in december that these raids would be ratcheted up here in january. Now its happening, what do you make of it . We make of it as a complete betrayal of the immigrant community. These women and children have been fleeing violence that ruins their life and they have made the journey seeking our help and refuge. This very same president said these are the tactical raids was something abhorrent. This was an nclr event and so for us when we feel disappointed in the way that we are treating people that are coming to us for help and betrayed by an administration that sold us on the peace of hope and change and all we have is deportations the president also said that his administration will only deport criminals, gang bangers, not folks who are here trying to figure out how to feed their families. Is the problem with the president or do you think there has been a breakdown somewhere down the line with the people who are carrying this out . I think ultimately the president makes the decisions about how we exercise our immigration laws and so at the end of the day president obama is responsible for this. We have seen a communication tw from his administration saying this was a response to the surge of refugees coming into this country. This reminds us of his failed strategy. He had a similar straj gee of degree something bad with somewhere good with the deportations. Were left with nothing in our hands. Nobl is it a political cost, but its giving us into our community, but it is not the right thing to do. This Christmas Eve i had to talk to my mom about what she would have to do if they came to our home in the middle of our celebrations, and thats into the American Value is about if, in fact, this plays out politically and given the betrayal that your organization feels, what does it do in terms of your scepticism or what youre hearing from, obviously not the republican president ial candidates but from the democrats and Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton . I think that this is a moment where we dream and our meb ship is calling for true moral leadership not only from the top of the ticket, which are these president ial candidates, but up do you knowed. We have seen encouraging movements to mr Bernie Sanders and mr omalley. We are yet to hear from Hillary Clinton directly. Were looking forward to her joining the community and asking for a stop to the raids of the terrorizing tactic any Silver Lining that we saw in the report that the appeals court, these administrative judges have put a stop to at least some of the deportations that had been in effect . I think that that is the work of the amazing lawyers that made that happen, but i think it also is a glaring example of the lies that this administration has told us. When secretary johnson said that these people had exhausted all legal measures, we are seeing that thats not true and that these people thank god theyre getting their day in court. I believe that thats part of the American Value of ensuring that people get a fair chance. So we hope that that is something that all of these people get and we are our demand is one to stop the raids immediately and also to open up the cases of people and ensure that they have clear and meaningful due process thank you for joining us. We appreciate it there is a growing trend in states across the u. S. To try and make prisoners pay for the cost of their incarceration. It has the supporters who are looking at budget shortfalls and there are also critics which says it adds a financial burden to the families of people who are behind bars. It has become intense in illinois. Our correspondent live from chicago. Reporter the state wont say exactly why its going after these prisoners for their room and board, but the critics say the real reason is insidious. This man is just now learning how to use a smart phone and a computer since getting out of prison last fall. He served 20 years for murder and armed robbery. While sitting in prison he was thrilled to learn that his grandmother was going to leave him a small inheritance, but before he found out how much he was getting, before he saw a dime of it before he got out, the department of illinois corrections found out about it. It is crazy. Reporter he was sued for his room and board in prison. 338,000 it was a shock to me when i first saw it. Then when i started thinking about it i was upset about it because i didnt understand and i still dont understand it. Reporter the attorneygenerals office is relying on a 1982 law that allows the state to sue to recover for room and board. It is a law the state is using more and more in recent years as are our states. This man focuses on prisoner rights and he says an inmate is basically helpless there is a rule that you have to disclose assets to the department for Correctional Services. If youre an inmate and youre a prisoner and you dont disclose this, they could write you a disciplinary report and put you in segregation for six months because you didnt tell them where your money was so they could take it from you reporter his inher terrence turned out to be 14,000. He was allowed to kept 4,000. So the state took what was left i thought they were rushing to take it because they told me you cant have an attorney unless i was going to pay for one which i didnt have the money to do. Reporter the attorneygeneral admitted to us in a statement that the law may, indeed, raise roadblocks for them to lead lives. The department of corrections told us in a statement that it decides who to sue on a case by case basis and that a wide variety of factors are considered. In most cases the amount of money recovered from inmates is a drop in the bucket for the department of corrects 1. 5 billion dollar budget. In some cases critics say the state is retaliating against inmates who win lawsuits over Inhumane Treatment by turning around and suing them for their reward. There are plenty of reasons for an inmate to sue this man said the prison sim in illinois is the worst in the country. Reporter in what way . The health treatment, medical treatment, over crowding reporter beyond that, one criminal justice expert says the law simply doesnt make sense. If you want to make sure that people commit more crimes, wind up back in prison, cost taxpayers more money, a great reason or way to do it is to take away everything that they have reporter he says as tough as things are for him right now, he cant help but think of the grandmother who left him that inher thanes she wouldnt have gave it to me if she knew they would take it. It was basically for me to be able to come home and be able to try some kind of way to fitity in because still i dont fit in. Reporter even though the attorneygeneral is now saying that maybe the state legislature should take another look at this law, neither she nor the department for Correctional Services is showing any indication that theyre going to call off their dogs has the state Legislature Said anything about this or the governor . Reporter no. Its on the backburner for them now. The governor could theoretically step in and tell the attorneygeneral not to file these lawsuits any more, but when we asked the Governors Office about it they said no comments you mentioned that the department for Correctional Services does this on a case by case basis s there any one particular factor that they look at in terms of trying to decide who to go after . Reporter they said that in a way of defending themselves, they said we only file these lawsuits against lifers. They wont need the money when they get out because they will never get out. Critics obviously say this disencourages them to filing a lawsuit for Inhumane Treatment and if they did win the money they could always give it to relatives or friends thank you for that. The two convicts people feared in a Series Making a murder will not be receiving a president ial pardon. Steven avery and brendan daffner are spending time despite receiving a petition for more than 170,000 signatures. The white house said the president cannot pardon the men because they were convicted of state crimes not federal crimes. In u. S. Politics the governor of mayne has been known of a man who speaks his mind bluntly and unfiltered. His most recent controversy is a big one. He said the problem with out of state drug dealers is that they come to mayne and imbreaking nature white girls. Today he apologised, sort of, by saying his remarks were a slip of the tongue. He also said he did not want to inject race into a town hall discussion of maynes heroin epidemic these are people that take these are not people who thak drugs. Its these guys that come from new york here to sell their heroin, then they go back home. Incidentally, half the time they impresenting nature a young white girl before they leave. Then we have another issue that weve got to deal with down the road so was he trying to inject race or not as he suggested . One republican strategist called the comments one of the most offensive statements yet from this governor. The democratic president ial candidate Hillary Clinton said what he said was a racist rant. Up next, water emerge emergency emergency. What is killing honey bees. A new government report is providing a clearer picture. Some help is on the way to ease a water contamination crisis is flint, michigan. Fresh water is handed out door to door. The governor declared an emergency over the amount of led contaminating flints water supply. The mayor of flint says fixing the corroded pipes may cost up to 1. 5 billion dollars. Who should pay for 91. 5 billion dollars 1. 5 billion dollars u its who should or who can because we know flint cant pay for it and we know the state has some responsibility there. Thats why we did the emergency. We declared a disaster because we believe that the state should help us with this, but we know the state doesnt have enough funding to be able to give the city of flint what we need. So thats why were asking for federal fund as well what has been the reaction to the request for federal funds . We p havent heard we havent heard at that level yes. The governor signed off on it tuesday, so at this point were just waiting to hear. We have not heard from washington dc yet how bad is it . We see the water and filter being handed out. You cant possibly get to everybody, can you . Right. Were trying our best to. It is a bad situation because its an ongoing situation and we dont know how long it will last. We have made the switch back to water from detroit, but in the meantime our pipes have been destroyed and the bio film has not had the time to build back up on the pipes so led is continuing to leach through the pipes. We cant use our water right now. We dont know how long it will take before that bio film builds back up and we can use the water. It could take four or six months. We dont know how long for the folks who use the water or dont know any better, whats the health risk for them . We know that for children five and under or pregnant moms and nursing mothers, it is brain damage for these children. Thats something that is irreversible. As far as seniors and people with compromised immune system, thats another factor there. We dont know the damage done to them, but we know it causes brain damage in Young Children and thats a huge concern. Some of that damage has already been done we know that flint has been kicked in the stomach several times over the last several years, whether it was financial problems or crime and now led in the water, so whats the mood in your city . It is a range of moods. There is anger, there is sadness, there is disappointment, theres confusion about what to do and then theres also some optimism because we did not expect the governor to sign off as quickly on the disaster declaration as he did. So we know that means things are going to start happening immediately and weve been getting water coming in, but we dont want people to be misled because we have switched back to the water. Thats a huge concern. They think, well, we switched back to detroit water, were okay, and were not. So were trying to let people know this water is still not safe, continue to use the bottled water, continue to use the water filters and for those who have been exposed, we need to get them the services that they deserve because none of us in flint deserve what happened but we do deserve services, we deserve some Financial Assistance as a result of what happened it just looks frightening. We saw People Holding up their bottles of water and pictures of water. Its sort of an orangeyyellowish cloor. That alone is scary color. Right. What was even more scary was when you could see that the water was bad, that was one thing, and in some homes the water came out clear. So you thought theres nothing wrong with the water coming out of my faucets, and people drank it pause it didnt always because it didnt appear dirty or orange or discolored. It came out perfectly fine, yet there was led in it. So that was a major issue as well thank you for joining us and good luck to you and everybody in flint. Thank you so much youre welcome. We have an update on a story we told you about yesterday involving muslim workers who were fired in a plant after walking off the job on their prayer time.

The new epa report is fuelling more demands that the government do a better job of regulating pesticides. Up next, fighting the war against i. S. I. L. On line. The Obama Administration met with those in Silicon Valley to ask for their help. Today officials from the white house met with executives from some of the leading Silicon Valley companies, apple facebook and twitter were in attendance. The purpose of the sit down was to discuss social medias role in spreading extremist ideologies. Our correspondent explains. Reporter google, apple facebook and the thousands of Silicon Valley start ups are in the business of devising what a Surveillance Program would want. They want to track everything about you, your movements, connections with other people, your behaviour in every room of the house. Edward snowdens leak continues to reveal the scope.

The nest therm stat is used to turp the heelt on and off. The company says it will use the information to improve its services. If this came with an n. S. A. Approval on it you would probably drown it in a bath tub.
