America are saying not so fast. Im jen rodgers in for ali velshi and this is real money. This is real money, and you are the most important part of the show. Tell us what is on your mind by tweeting and facebook. Another big bank pays big for pedalling toxic assets, but banc of americas payout is the biggest yet. Bofa has agreed to pay nearly 17 billion. 9. 7 billion will go as straight cash, another 7 billion will go as relief to consumers in the form of Loan Modifications and the like. Its the biggest settlement amount ever for a u. S. Bank. Its roughly equal to the total profits for the past year. As part of the deal with federal and state agencies, b ofa admits the poor quality of the loans. It problems may not end here. But the deal with the government looks a lot like the other big settlements we see with seen lately with Jpmorgan Chase and others. Many, but not all of the financial shenanigans that got banc of america in trouble were done by countrywide financial and merrill lynch. Both companies were in deep trouble, and with government prodding banc of america bought merrill for 50 million. It also bought countrywide for 4 billion. But bofa is still paying seven years on. Banc of america acquired countrywide for 4 billion back in 2008 and has been paying ever since. B ofa has now paid out another 26 billion in fines and penalties since 2010 all stemming from the risky lending practices. Cofounded, and based in southern california, countrywide became americas largest singlefamily mortgage leader. This former butchers son lead the charge. Offering loans to people with little or even poor credit was higher risk at any mortgage company. But countrywides lending standards were exceptionally lax. Some people were allowed to purchase home with no money down. He then sold the faulty loans to investors. In 2010 the Securities Exchange commission claimed fraud. He settled agreeing to a 67. 5 million payment. Banc of america paid 20 million of the fine. A criminal probe followed in 2011, but the Justice Department eventually dropped the investigation. Todays settlement resolved dozens of outstanding allegations involving countrywide. But for this man the battle continues. The the watchdog in the nations capitol sued the Justice Department to try to get records of the investigation. Melanie sloan is the executive director of the Watchdog Group and joins us from washington. What do you think of today seats todays settlement. Why is it angelo and nobody else ever went to jail . It seems like you can bring to the u. S. Economy to the brink of collapse and yet no one has to prosecution. So it didnt over here as we said, you know, we are expecting there will be 11 other settlements, the government is busy still working on this. But what would you like to see to ensure accountability for the mortgage crisis. Well, now the statute of limits will have run on most people who could be prosecuted. But we would like to see the Justice Department held responsible. So crew is hoping to get ahold of some of the documents that would have shown exactly the exsent of his conduct, and then ask why he wasnt prosecuted. Lets look at what could be in his cards. He has made a bunch of money in an sec settlement. There could be more civil charges coming for him. He thinks he is being singled out here. What do you think of that . Certainly no one embodied the crisis like he did, but many many others ought to have been prosecuted too. And he is just one of many who seems to have entirely escaped. These people were too big and too rich to be prosecuted. What do you do about that . How is this not repeated again . A lot of people in washington think they are working very hard to try to get justice for this, but you dont think its following through. Where is the disconnect . Its not just me that doesnt think so, the department of justices own Inspector General found that this is a low priority. I think its a big disappointment for so Many Americans when we know we would be held accountable for any kind of fraud, and yet we have these people who are bringing the American Economy to the brink of collapse and escaping any fines. What is too big to prosecute . What do you mean by that . Why do you think they are too big to prosecute . Obviously these cases are very, very complex, and its far easier for the Justice Department to prosecute drug dealers than these complex transitions. But if we want to provide a real disincentive to this kind of conduct in the future, were going to have to see people go to jail. Fines, really, for most of these banks are not significant to them. They will go on and continue on engaging in risky kind of behavior, and then they will just pay a fine later for it. Given what you know about the case, and there could be further charges for this man, do you think that something will stick . Right now, they are only talking about a civil case against mr. Mazillo. So my guess is he will engage in some sort of settlement. All right. Melanie sloan joining us from washington, d. C.

That has prompted the missouris governor to withdraw the National Guard from the area. But last night was the quietest night since the arrests began. Police said they only arrested six compared to 46 the night before. Meanwhile the grand jury has begin to determine whether the Police Officer who shot Michael Brown should be charged with a crime. And demonstrators have been calling on the prosecutor handling the investigation to step down. Latest. Good evening, you can see behind me the streets are very calm as the sun is going down in ferguson. Also police units starting to arrive, awaiting the protesters that will come out tonight. Its about 95 degrees as we speak right now, and humid, very hot, but you can see the boarded up windows of some of the local businesses across the street from me. Theres even entrepreneurs, selling tshirts in honor and respect of 18yearold mike brown who was shot and killed just two blocks away, actually right down the street here. The National Guard are on their way out. By my count theres about six or seven vehicles there still, and they are packing up and leaving. And the country pos cuter under a lot of pressure to get off of the case. His father was a Police Officer and was shot and killed in the call of duty out on the street by a black man, so a lot of the people here think that perhaps he has a bias, and that he will not have the amount of evidence that the grand jury needs to take a look at to make a decision, and were also told that that grand jury will end their Decision Making sometime in october. So a long time coming. Well see whether the protesters decide to take to the streets for that long. But tonight, police are out, were not sure how many protesters will be here, but if its as peaceful as last night, i guess thats a good thing. When you look at the numbers of what you lapped two nights ago, and what is happening this night. You are there talking to people. Do you get a sense at all of what we can expect tonight . Reporter i my sense is truly that we will get peace tonight. I think well probably have a couple hundred people to come out. Last night there was a few hundred and these terrible storms came in and everyone had to leave. But im guessing well have a couple hundred out here tonight. A lot of this peace has come from the elders in the community. A lot of the religious folks that the police spoke to and said if you could, come out here and walk with these youth and tell them to sort of simmer down and talk respectfully to everyone. And that seems to have been happening the last couple of days. So if the leaders come out tonight im expecting peace, if they dont make their way out, you never know. There is always a bad apple in the crowd. Thank you so much. The anger hasnt been limited to ferguson. People across the country are expected to take to the streets to protest the shooting. Its the nationwide day of rage being organized by anonymous. Demonstrations are expected to take place in some 40 cities including los angeles where jennifer london is standing by jennifer . Reporter well, i can tell you expectations so far not being met here at this park in south l. A. This socalled day of rage was scheduled to begin about 15 minutes ago, and we have a handful of park goers here and i counted four people that tell me they are here for this protest. We have been out here for a couple of hours, and spoke to one gentlemen about an hour ago, and he said he was just here to enjoy the park and didnt know there was a scheduled protest. And then we saw an l. A. Police officer come through, and he spoke to them and they said they were here for the protest that was scheduled and they were also doing routine patrols. This time last week at this same park, there was a gathering of around 200 people, and they were here to protest the shooting death of Michael Brown in ferguson, and they were coming together for a National Moment of silence, and talking about the Racial Discrimination they say they all feel throughout the country. The protest, though, remained very peaceful, jen. It was passionate but peaceful. But as far as this rally is concerned, so far were now about 17 minutes past when it was supposed to gather, there really isnt much of a rally here. All right. Jennifer london in los angeles. Thanks so much. During his visit to ferguson yesterday, eric holder said he experienced racial profiling by police in his past. It is a situation that faces many middle class black residents in ferguson on a daily basis according to this man. Norm there has been a lot of talk about poverty in ferguson. But how big is the middle class presence there . The poverty the population that is experiencing poverty or at the pofferty line is about 30 of the community. So were talking about 70 of the Community Remains fairly vibrant and middle class. How has ferguson changed in the last few decades . In some of what has happened is that as the cities have gotten rid of large scale housing projects and begun to depopulate, initially those these suburbs outside of cities were and in st. Louis in particular, were home to middle class families who were moving out to get the same things, they were pursuing the american dream. But as the housing projects began to be knocked down, and door residents who lived in those projects needed homes, they began to be shuffled out into the more suburban enclave. So places where middle class africanamericans were living, where middle class africanamericans were living they are were slowly becoming populated by a a a population that was renting. They werent owning the homes. Right. And that is what has been happening in ferguson, right . Exactly. What problems then given that transition, but also given that there is a large middle class. What problems are africanamericans in that middle class in ferguson what kind of changes are they facing . I think they are confronted in part because you have the kinds of problems that are associated with poverty in those enclaves where poorer residents are living, and that includes crime and violence, gang activity, which means that police are beginning to respond to that behavior, but the middle class kids living in those communities dont look any different. Who police are stopping kids on the street, and stopping not only the kids that are active in gangs and maybe drug activity, they are stopping kids from families that are trying to do the right thing. So what is the knockon effect of that, if you have both of these communities together, the police are heavily i mean in some cases people say they are overpolicing, and as you say they are having a tough time sorting out. So what does that mean for the middle class . I think it becomes uncomfortable. It becomes tense at best. It makes the way people see their community change. It has had an effect on loans to those you know, so the kind of money that is being invested in those communities. And it makes it really difficult for the community to grow. So when you see what is happening there right now, and given what you know about it, what do you think are any solutions that can be implemented for what is going on in the community, especially when you look at this large middle Class Population that you say is uncomfortable . Well, the work i have been doing is to try to support those communities that are experiencing that disadvantaged economic and social situation. They need strengthening in terms of empowerment; there needs to be resources provided to them so they can begin to get a footing. In the last two decades as a result of the changes in welfare policy, there are people who are moving more and more into a spiral of poverty, because there arent any resources available. Norm white thank you for bringing your resources and telling us about this. St. Louis university, norm white. Driving in circles searching for a park spot. Some App Developers say there is a better way to find one, but some cities are standing in the way. That and more coming up. Al Jazeera America presents smile and look at the camera.

Revealing, intimate, unexpected you will not believe what just happened. This is life im just gonna prove my family wrong. On the edge eighteen only on Al Jazeera America ask any driver in a big city about their biggest headaches and parking has got to be high on the list. A number of Technology Companies are trying to change that, but some are landing in the cross hairs of controversy, and boston is the latest. An app maker introduced an app to allow drivers to sell out parking spots with other users. Boston passed an ordinance that effectively bans the app. Mary snow has more. Parking in my neighborhood is tough, and i know the street spot i have right now is in high demand reporter app developer haystack sees dollar signs on city streets. Use its app to alert drivers that you are leaving your parking lot, and get 3 to save it for another haystack user. Haystack gets 0. 50. Boston put the breaks on haystack and others like it, saying parking spots are on public space. In june San Francisco issued a cease and desist order to monkey parking. San francisco drivers also face a 300 fine for violating the citys order. Start up suite and park moto operating. Can you think of any other public asset that is so mismanaged and just left to take care of itself and thats why these App Developers come in and mismanagement. Reporter the professor blames cities for not charging more for Parking Spaces during peak demand. Cities ought to think the way an app developer thinks and say how can i use this new technology to finance better blocks . Reporter one thing seems certain, theres opportunity in parking. Mary snow, al jazeera. The apps in boston and San Francisco, focus on users swapping out park spaces, but there are a number of other companies around the country using technology that helps drivers pay for parking or pell. Them find spots. This raises a question of public property versus intellectual property. And were getting both sides tonight. We have the founder and ceo of haystack technologies. And eric you say its information. The city says you are selling the public spot. But you are profitting off of something we all have the right to, to park, right . Its a social Parking Community that allows neighbors to exchange information, and neighbors have every right to exchange that information, and if we can help make this inefficient system a little bit more efficient, then thats a good thing for those individuals and cities. Critics say you are creating an inherently unfair system. What if you dont have a smartphone or your battery ran out. What if people started driving an hour in just to park by fenway, and then they can sell that spot for a lot . You can kind of changing the rules of the game, right . Were just making a really bad game simpler. And haystack is only an option, and by the way, a lot of folks have smart phones today and cities across the country and world are experimenting with different ways that gives advantages to those with smartphones, including the city of boston. It helps people know where these spots are, and before there was no solution to do that. What do you think about critics that also talk about distracted driving . I am so frustrated after driving and looking for a spot for ten minutes and then im looking at your app . That concern is a stretch, and we certainly heard our earful of that to city councillors. But compare it to the current system. We have all sorts of clever ways to try to identify if someone is leaving a spot. People are rubber necking left and right, its incredibly unsafe. Haystack is much safer than that, and we have developed a onetouch solution that matches users. Its as simple as easy to use as a gps, so those hypothetical concerns are unfounded. All right. What is next for you . Are you going to try to keep working in boston . Go to other cities . What is your plan . Parking is a huge issue. And we need to Work Together on a collaborative basis to find a solution that can work. So we have offered to work with the city of boston. We would love to work with the office of new urban mechanics to find an approach they can get behind and support. And right now, jen, were focused on building up our Parking Community as strong as we can. All right. Thank you. Now were going to be joined by matt omalley, a city councillor in boston. So eric and you agree on one thing, parking in boston is a really big problem, and i know because i have been there and its a real pain. So couldnt Technology Make this easier. It could. And thank you for having us on to discuss this issue. We should celebrate and value the innovation technology. I support it. I want to see it grow as a public official, as a consumer, i take advantage of it. If you look at Something Like uber, or lift, or air b b, you are talking about private services. My contention with haystack is you have a private individual utility. If no one made money off of it, would it be okay . If everybody were just alerted people that there were a spot, would that be fine . I think theoretically, and that may be a way we could go. I think there is still some inherent unfairness if someone doesnt have a smartphone, then it certainly could create issues. One suggestion i had for eric is look at private parking garages, as perhaps a conversation that during peak times spaces could open up. And if someone wanted to rent out their driveway there is an app for that one, matt. Were too late to the game. Then thats the innovation we should celebrate. One thing, though, in the piece we just looked at how bad parking is, and cities mismanage it all the time. Is there something you guys can do in City Government to make it better . Should be there surge pricing on meters . I think thats something that i am open to. One thing that our former mayor and our current mayor have taken advantage of is the office of new urban mechanics. Several weeks ago there was a hackathon. We have one of the most widely used apps to deal with constituent services, but its part of a larger conversation that we should be having. And boston has a great thriving bikesharing program. We need to get more people using the public transit, and look at ways to have multimodal transportation for everyone. Youre not antiinnovation. No, im antidumb inknow vagus, with all due respect to eric, thats what i see this as. We voted unanimously on this yesterday. You ought not profit on a public re source like a roadway or parking spot for private personal gain. All right. Hopefully you and eric can figure something out here. Thanks so much. Thanks.

Talk to al jazeera only on Al Jazeera America im joie chen, im the host of america tonight, were revolutionary because were going back to doing best of storytelling. We have an ouportunity to really reach out and really talk to voices that we havent heard before. I think Al Jazeera America is a watershed moment for american journalism its one of the most coveted, hard to score invitations of the summer if you an economist or central banker. Its the annual meeting in jackson hole, wyoming. Patricia sabga explains why it is such a big deal. The kansas fed moved its annual symposium to jackson hole, wyoming in 1982 to lure paul voelker, an avid fly fisher to at tent. It was an elite forum for scholars, finance ministers, and others to address issues. The conference has marked major milestones in monetary and world history, such as 1990 which witnessed an unprecedented gathering of western and eastern block central bankers tasked with navigating from state market to freemarket economies. Jackson hole has always played host to many, such as Indias Central Bank head. He warned that the financial innovations most in the audience, including then fed chair Alan Greenspan were making the Financial System safer were actually causing a financial meltdown. Three years later, he was proved right. In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, the annual meeting was ceased upon by ben bernanke to signal significant shifts of Monetary Policy including asset purchases which helped balloon the feds Balance Sheet to 4. 4 trillion. There year it hosts janet yellen, and gauging the strength of the u. S. Labor market, a discussion that could see passions run as high as the backdrop of this powerful gathering. Patricia sabga, al jazeera. This issian nets yellens first appearance to the conference this jackson hole. Market watchers are going to be playing close attention to every word, right, chris . Especially Interest Rates. Labor is the theme, though. A lot of people think Unemployment Rate. But she is going to talk about a lot more, right . Yeah. For years we looked at basically the Unemployment Rate to tell us the health of the market, but now theres more retired folks and more folks working parttime, so she has to look another a wider range of numbers now. And hopefully tomorrow shes picture. So people will be looking at what she is saying about labor to find out what she is really saying about Interest Rates. Absolutely. She is concerned with both inflation and getting to full employment. So she will raise Interest Rates once she has decided were getting closer to full employment. So if she gives us some indication of what that means that will give us an idea about Interest Rates. What are people thinking about this . How much will she show her hand . Will there be any change in the policies out there . I think its unlikely there are any big announcements tomorrow. Usually as we have seen, this is not the place for big announcements. It was a couple of time in 2010 and 2012, but she probably wants to save the big announcements for a fed meeting or press conference that she has. Its kind of interesting, because now we actually have press conferences. We see the fed chief on tv answering questions in ways that we didnt before. Has that had any impact on how is . I think so, because now the market has all different kinds of data about what the fed chief is thinking and what she is going to do. So i think now that she is speaking so much more to the public, its even more difficult for the market to really understand what she is going to do. So this will be another piece of data in a larger tabloid that she is presenting. One of the interesting things about jackson hole is its probably not so important what they are saying that we get to hear, its what they are saying to each other on the hiking trails or at dinner. So what do you think those year . Absolutely. This is one of the times of the year where central bankers from all over the world get together and talk about these issues that they think about. So they may be talking about some of these things, and so really that is the important aspect of this. Its sort of what they say behind closed doors. I always talked about the jackson hole rally. That we would see the market rise because of this. Do you think thats done . I think there is a chance for the market to rally. We saw some members itching to raise rates. And i think janet yellen might reassure markets a little bit that stimulus is here to stay for a little while longer. All right. It will be interesting. Chris matthews thanks so much. The Housing Market is picking up after a rough start this year. Sales of previously owned homes rose 2. 4 in july compared to june. An especially encouraging sign was fewer sales involved short sales of distressed properties. July sales were down more than 4 from the same time last year thats when sales peaked before rising Mortgage Rates started to slow down the momentum. The Housing Market here may be showing signs of improvement, but if you are looking for real deals, you might want to consider sicily. There are hill top homes with asking prices below 1. 50. Claudia has more. Reporter this is officially one of italys most beautiful medieval towns. Perched on a hill in the middle of sicily, the village boasts longstanding traditions and sprawling views of the countryside below. But even more appealing perhaps is the price of some of the houses on sale. One euro, or just a little over a dollar. The towns mayor says there is a catch. If you buy one of these derelict properties, you will have to guarantee that you will restore it. Translator these are houses left behind by those who immigrat immigrated. Now we have people from india, china, england, france, and of course, italy interested in them. But the owners still need to pay for the restoration, and they are not allowed to bring in their own bricklayers, so its force. Over 700 potential buyers have expressed interest in the scheme. Among them are these two australians. They looked another the house looked abandoned for years after their owners passed away . Its on the market for one euro, restore. You couldnt buy a car park in australia for 35,000. For someone like me this is an opportunity to use some funds which might be more realistic to acquire a lost home and hopefully create a place that i family. Reporter if successful all of the towns across italy may follow the example and hope to rebuild their local economies one brick at a time. Up next, the California Drought persists and farmers grow desperate. Stay with us as real money continues. Theres a new gold rush underway in california. Only this time prospectors are digging for something even more precious than gold, water. The drought in the west is leading to Desperate Measures and the search is taking farmers deeper and deeper underground. Reporter dead prematurely, an entire almond orchard. They are actually choosing to kill trees, pull out trees from the root base so they can have enough ground water for other actions of their farm, because they dont have enough water to go all the way around. Everything looks good. Check the crop. Reporter with seasonal crops like strawberries or lettuce, farmers can choose not to plant when there is a drought, but they cant do that with trees. But now jay must dig super wells, reaching 2,000 feet deep, thats longer than the empire state building. This is the only control that we have in our toolbox right now. Reporter almost every farmer in the area has decided to drill more and deeper in order to reach previously untapped ground water right below us. Until now farmers have drilled wells of a few hundred feet, but that water has run out. And the next option is to go down, past a thick layer of clay that separates the ground water from the deeper ancient aquifer. Farmers like this man are pulling water faster than aquifers can recharge. That means in some places the ground is actually sinking. He admits its a shortterm solution producing longterm damage, but doesnt know what else to do. What we should do or what will be here for the future of my kids or my grandkids. I would love for the operation to continue. We have built it up from where my dad, and grandfather and great grandfather have built up. Reporter critics say the regulators need to step in. California is enduring its thirddriest year on record, and demand for water is at an alltime high. The amount of water has dwindled to levels never seen before. A recent report says the economic costs to the state could reach 2. 2 billion this year, and affect up to 17,000 jobs statewide. Richard, coauthored the report and joins us now from sacramento. In this report that we just saw, it is so striking where the farmer says he doesnt know what else to do than to drill these wells. Given what is happening with surface water, going after the ground water doesnt seem like a longterm solution, but what can california do . Good evening, jen. California can do what several other western states have done, and that is turn ground water into a sensibly managed commodity. I. E. , farmers need to balance the water in good times and bad. And do you think that that is a solution that we will see happen in california . Is that realistic that it will this . Theres no question that it will have to happen. For instance, Orange County has managed its ground water for 30 years, very successfully because they were threatened with the sea water coming into their aquifer. Lets talk about some of the crop switching that is going on and if this is helpful to have it happen . What are you seeing come out, and what is going in . Crop switching is a sensible thing for all farmers to do, and they are taking out those crops which give them less returns, and replacing them with to keep their high value, nut crops are going. Like what are those . Is that like almonds . High . Almonds, pistachios, citrus, grapes, lettuce, melons, on we go. Theres a list of of 40 crops grown in this state, and its what you find on your salad bar. California is the bread basket of the country and the world in some places. What is getting lost, though . We have got california dropped 34 last year from their acreage decaded to corn . Is that a concern or a problem we have farmers chasing after what is most profitable . No, its a good idea. And corn is not a big deal. I mean corn is dominated by the midwest, and they are having such a good year that the price of corn is going down at the minute, and therefore, animal feed is getting cheaper. You have looked at the loss of Economic Activity for this year. 2. 2 billion. But if this drought continues, how bad could it get . It could get significantly worse. There is a 36 chance of a dry or drier year next year. That means less water, and a lot dry. All right. Richard joining us from the university of california at davis. Thanks so much. Thank you, jen. Its the end of an era for an ironic american treat. Plus Opportunity Knocks for a Young Little League star. Too bad she cant answer the door. Well explain. Its a chilling and draconian sentence.
