Center in oregon pledged that they will not back down. Last night the leader was arrested and another member of the movement shot dead. Welcome to your world this morning. Im stephanie sy.

Fbi and state Police Stopped vehicles carrying some of the protesters, it ended with a shoot out. And several members arrested. Including the leader, ammon bundy. His brother was shot and injured. The groups spokesman was dead. Its the ride of the individual we are looking at. Finighan spoke for the group. He put up numerous videos and talked about the occupation earlier this month with our allen schauffler. This grievance is widespread throughout the west. This is not going away. The armed protesters seized wild lie emissions. Those in the compound went online calling for reinforcement. We need the patriots to get hear. Ammon bundy had been talking with the fbi, its not clear where the notions stood. Its believed they were heading for a Community Forum. Al jazeeras Katherine Barrett has been covering the stand off and joins us on the phone from seattle. Do you have any details on what happened yesterday to lead to these arrests. And where does the occupation go from here. Well, stephanie, where it goes from here remains on open question. Obviously from what we understand the two main leaders of the movement have been removed, ammon bundy by arrest and lavoie finighan dead, the fbi has not confirmed his identity. Its been widely reported. Its far from clear whether the arrests and the death will discourage the remaining few who occupy mellor, or pardon their resolve to stay. They have put out a call for reinforcements, calling this an emergency. Thats a call they made before, without a huge turn out. But obviously the turn of event towards violence could change that. Oregons Governor Kate Brown released a statement calling for patience as officials continued pursuit of a peaceful resolution. Oregon department of transportation says that 40 miles of road north of the refuge remains closed for at least one hour more this morning. The situation apparently still fluid. There are not a lot of roads in this area. If the feds and state police are continuing to limit peoples movement, that will have an impacts on whether those still occupying it can come or go. Again, the situation is best described as fluid at this hour. Any idea you said a few protesters remaining, do be know how many are at the Wildlife Center, and have you heard signs are moving to storm the center or moving closer in to the refuge than they were before . I have not heard nor seen that. Again, this road closure though obviously they stopped them on the road. If they maintain a road block and maintain other roadblocks, it will be hard for them to get out. Short of going in and getting them out. This is an escalation in the federal response to block the roads. They enjoyed Free Movement over the last month of the occupation. Its just a little too early to say.

The c. D. C. Urged pregnant women or women who may become pregnant not to travel to the destinations. Laboratory confirms they have a handful of cases. The huge increase of zika in the nearby brazil, and the rise of zika cases gives a lot of reason for concern, and now that the big task is to try to establish the link, the World Health Organization suspects there is a link between the virus in brazal and children born with small legs and brains. Other countries that this outbreaks have not reported cases of microcephali. In brazil workers fume gated Rio De Janeiro, where the upcoming parades will be held, its been fume gated. During the carnivale, therell be crowds of people from different parts of world and brazil. Which will have the virus get in and with the carriers around, you could have the start of the epidemic.

Lawmakers until last night taking the action to push them out. We are joined by phone from kansas city, kansas. Is this the way that the f. B. I. Wanted this standoff to escalate or do you think it was a tactical mistake on their part . Anytime you have a standoff like this, ultimately, you want it to end peacefully. My guess is they were waiting for them to make a move away from the refuge where they could get better opportunity to make the arrest without putting anyone in danger, including agents that might be going into that area, so they probably waited for this time to make to uses this opportunity. The tensions between the bundy family and Law Enforcement going back to cliven bundy has been brewing for quite some time. Was it inevitable that sooner or later the f. B. I. Had to move in . Ultimately, the law of the land prevails and its not a country of men, its a country of laws. You cant just let somebody occupy federal property. If they have a beef with the federal government, it has to be worked out legally not by occupying land. Theres no way the government is going to give in to any kind of demands based on occupation. This was an inevitable event to happen. The arrest would have to be made at some point or they would have to have left the property before the arrest. Jeff, is this the beginning of the end of the standoff or just the beginning of the escalating tensions . Do you see others for instance coming to oregon to join in the fight which could possibly lead to another waco, because they have issued that call for backup . Yeah, i can see where some people may want to come to the defense of these individuals, given what weve read in the news stories and what theyre beefs are. I dont see it escalating much further than maybe some people coming there. I dont see another waco, because i think ultimately people realize that there are other ways to work out their grievances attorney cause long term standoffs which dont accomplish anything except getting people arrested and putting a lot of people in danger. Retired f. B. I. Agent jeff lanza joining us, thank you for being with us. This week president obama announced his effort to reform america prisons, taking efforts to ban solitary confinement for some juveniles in federal jails. The change will only affect a handful of teenage inmates. President barack obama has made criminal Justice Reform a top priority for his final months in office. He is the only president to visit a federal jail and he is making changes for solitary confinement for juvenile offenders. Writing an editorial, he said Research Suggests that solitary confinement has the potential to lead to devastating lasting psychological consequences, linked to withdrawal, an inability to interact with others and potential for violent behavior. He highlighted it in a speech last year. Do we think it makes sense to lock so many people in tiny cells for months, sometimes for years at a time . That is not going to make us safer. Roughly 10,000 inmates serve time in solitary confinement, all day alone with virtually no human contact. Its six months sings the president pushed the J Justice Department to study how solitary confinement were being used. There are 50 principles he wants to see used. Until now, an inmate punished for a disciplinary offense could face a year in solitaire for the first infraction with that the longest term now will be 60 days. The president s actions will be studied but say on the face of it, they father justified. The white house is hoping what happens in federal prison will become a model for state prisons around the the country. Glenn martin is the president of just leadership u. S. A. , a criminal justice advocate who himself spent time in prison. Thank you for your time. Glad to be hear. The u. N. Has said that solitary confinement beyond 15 days is comparable to torture. You hear about people in solitary losings their minds. Is it also sort of linked with a return to crime when somebodys out . Sure, i think for president obama, this is about his values. 95 of people who go to prison return home at some point, so folks are coming back to our communities. The question is how do we want people to come home. All the research and evidence tells us that solitary confinement create a situation where people come home more broken than they went into prison. He is trying to reverse that trend, also raising that particularly with young people the research said since the human brain develops up to the age of 24, there can be long term effect from these inhumane conditions. In fact, there are 1012 states i believe that have already begun limiting cool tear confinement. Should we be looking at the adult population, as well, because theres been research on the psychological impacts on adults. This is clearly part of a trend, states are starting to roll back the number of people in solitary confinement but also change the conditions that people face while theyre in solitary confinement. It affects adults as much as young people. In prison they tend to uses solitary confinement as a way to control the prison population. You hit a Tipping Point where people come out more violent than they went into the situation. As you can imagine, being in one cell for 23 hours a day can create that sort of psychological effect. We have research to tell us we should be doing more of what works and less of what doesnt. You spent a couple of weeks in solitary confinement when you were doing time for armed robbery. What was that experience like and was it anymore damaging than other prison experiences you may of had . Yeah, i served six years in prison. Its almost impossible to do more than a few months in prison before ending up in the box. Just about everybody ends up in solitary confinement. Its used not sparingly, actually liberally in the prison context. I went to the box for looking at a correction officer the wrong way and stayed there a few weeks. You have no human contact. Prison is all right limiting in terms of liberty but when you get to the point where 23 hours a day youre alone, you can imagine what that feels like. At first youre hearing voices, then wondering if its your voice or something going on in your head. Its usually damaging. Was it worse than other prison experiences you had. Was there something that stood out for you . For me it was actually absolutely worse. When you think of the man in new york city who committed suicide arguably of spending two years in solitary confinement and this is the president getting out ahead of even local leaders. I mean, in new york city, you have mayor debellagio who has done next to nothing to respond to that particular death. The president is showing the political courage that hopefully other leaders will follow up with. Thank you for joining us this morning.

Transpacific trade agreement is in the final stages, removing tariffs to make trading easier and cheaper. Vietnam, which is one of 12 nations in the pact is positioned to hugely benefit economically. The agreement could also loosen vietnamese ties with china. The economic relations between vietnam and china is overdependence, but we do hope that we have it in place and will have more and deeper relationship. The partnership can now include u. S. Military equipment. The u. S. Government lifted its bans on weapon sales to vietnam two years ago. Vietnam is one of the Fastest Growing economies in the world. Industries are looking to take off.

This is the clover point pumping station, one of two facilities where raw sewage from victorias 200,000 or so people is treated. It comes in and pipes under the floor here around this is the Current Treatment system, the raw assuming hits these streams. Everything thats bigger than about that that you can put in the toilet is filtered out. It gets dumped into these drop boxes and deposited in a landfill within the remains in mostly liquid form goes into the wet wells. Were down a level now and those wells are just on the other side of this wall. Whats in those wells, that screened or filtered raw sewage comes into this room where the pumps are, two pumps at a time usually working, pushing all of that material into these four big tubes. They combine right about here and then go out of the pumping station in that big blue tube. Were talking about tens of millions of gallons of that screen liquefied raw sewage everyday coming through that pipe. It runs underground for a couple of hundred yards and straight out that way into the strait, the body of water separating canada from the state of washington. 200 feet down, its dispersed into the waters of the straight. That system for dealing with sewage has been a source of controversy for decades and a new treatment plan will be a billion plus. Well take a deeper look at the controversy and challenges tonight. Al jazeera, victoria, british colombia. You can see the rain fouling where alan is, bringing more snow and rain to the northwest. As we head to the west coast, not the most pleasant forecast as we get out here. Heres all that moisture coming in. You can see that this is going to be a broad area that will bring us rain starting into today, but going through the end of the week and then more behind that, so we could have another active period starting to set up in the west coast while things quiet down in the east coast. Heres the initial rain coming in, its especially into the day later today and into tomorrow where we get the heaviest banding. Northern california, some erosion is threatens coastal homes. Thats something well have to watch with the next storm coming in and just in general with the very active pattern weve had this season. To get could be anywhere from washington and Northern California six to eight inches widespread, some heavier amounts more than that in some of the higher elevations, portions of cascade one to two feet not out of the question. A lot of this is rain because the west coast has stayed mild, 60s, 70s southward versus some of the cooler air on the opposite side of the country. Speaking of temperatures, either with that front thats gone through the east coast, it only knocks the temperatures down a couple of degrees. The temperatures for this time of year have stayed relatively reasonable. Nicole, thank you very much. Say it aint so, the thought that Niagara Falls could run dry.

We have a new sense today of how close the world is to cots free, the Doomsday Clock reports are released. They say we may not be far from the end of the world. Its been a year of breakthroughs, a Global Climate change agreement, the Iran Nuclear Deal done. According to the bulletin of the atomic scientists, the people who set the Doomsday Clock, its not enough to move their hands of time. They say the world is just three minutes from utter catastrophe. Nothings changed from last year in part because more Nuclear Weapons are being made. Nuclear modernization programs continue, china, pakistan and north korea are increasing their Nuclear Arsenals and russia modernizing theirs, spending 350 billion. This clock has been getting attention for 69 years. The fear it spreads has only encouraged more countries to get Nuclear Weapons. Major case in point is the war in iraq which began in 2003 mainly as an anti proliferation war, the danger was sadaam is going to get nuke weapons. The result i also 400,000 dead, far more than were killed at hiroshima and nagasaki combined. Are you ready for a commanderinchief . The Doomsday Clock scientists want people to push their politicians but annual that is unlikely in this very unusual year. It will be a long and somewhat put it this way, disillusioning year as we elect a new president. My hopes are that we will elect a president who is totally fitted for the job. It is an open question who will be the next one to hold the u. S. Nuclear codes. They say the outcome will determine which way the clock moves next. Al jazeera, washington. On to more immediate concerns, zoning in on dangerous driving. Why uber is watching its drivers and what that means for your ride sharing experience. There are new details about the death of a former nfl player, Officials Say former giants safety had an advance form of c. T. E. When he overdozed on pain medication. He was just 27. C. T. E. Is connected to head trauma and found in a number of former players. Family members say he suffered with confusion and memory loss before he died.

Last month an al jazeera investigation showing substances had been shipped to mannings home. He denied allegation of using h. D. H. The results of the review arent expected to be known until just before the superbowl. This you tube video pokes fun at a make believe uber driver, but the ride sharing companys latest announcement is no joke. Uber is now running a Pilot Program using gyro meters, measuring small movements on a drivers phone, trying to see if they are speeding and braking too fast. The companys chief Security Officer says if a rider complains that a driver traveled too fast, we can use that data. We hope to improve safety proactively. The company cites 10,000 deaths related to speeding in 2012 in the u. S. The measure could generate complaints from drivers themselves, worried over being tracked but uber has the right to monitor those working for the service. Theyre not going to hand out ticket and not take them to court and throw them in jail, but they can decide whether somebody who is providing a service under their name to their customers is adhering to the law. Critics say the technology could be an added stress for drivers. Its yet another distraction where you have to think about how fast youre going and how hard youre braking when you should really be thinking about whats in front of you and keeping everyone safe.

John henry smith, eying. Catherine has been covering the standoff since the beginning and joins us from seattle. Catherine, are there sign that is authorities are now moving to storm the center or even moving closer in . Well, they certainly are closer than they have been. These folks were allowed pretty free passage around the area for the past three weeks now but there remains 50 miles of roadway closed between the Wildlife Center and highway area to the north of bend. The situation is described as fluid, also described as a process of containment. Perhaps that means not quite confrontation, and it remains an open question exactly what these who remain at the refuge will do with their two principle leaders taken out, one arrested, one apparently dead, though it has not been confirmed by the feds. Del. Do we know how many people are at the Wildlife Center now and what happens to them and whether that includes women, as well . It has in the past included some women. Some people have been coming and going, but there were never reportedly many more than perhaps several dozen. They kept it pretty close to the vest as to exactly how many were there. They said for security reasons. Obviously with eight arrests and one death, that reduced the number somewhat. There have been on line calls for reinforcements, but theres been no evidence that that has come. Basically authorities are call for hem to peacefully withdraw from the reef final now and the Oregon Governor released a statement calling for patience as officials continue to pursue a swift and peaceful resolution. Del. The Oregon Governor in fact pointing out this is costing the state 100,000 a week as they were on the ground and both the sheriff and a judge saying they wanted the protestors to leave.

On the republican side, iowa has been a virtual twoman race between cruz and donald trump with the two jostling over the past week for key endorsements.

There is not a candidate that is asking for your support that reflects it any better, anymore powerfully, nor anymore consistently than the next president of the United States, senator ted cruz. Backing uppery were pro cruz super pac ads that day abused in iowa tuesday. The ads slam trump and try to soften backlash cruz suffered over his new york values remarks during the last debate.

Some schools are closed and will be for the rest of the week. 48 people were killed as a result of the storm from new york all the way down to South Carolina. The red cross said the storm led to a shortage of blood. Severe weather forced them to cancel hundreds of blood drives across 20 states since the start of the month. The red cross is urging people to donate in coming days and weeks when they can. Parts of the east coast getting ready for another round of winter weather. It has been in the 40s. These could be our highest temperatures today and nudging off by the afternoon as the front goes through behind this where weve already gotten that front going through, temperatures are in the 20s. The wind flow behind that in the colder air is enhancing lake effect snow. Not really too troublesome but this northern system coming in could be widespread one to threp across the gate lakes into tomorrow. A couple operation little could see three or four with that. Another one later in the week behind that is a system, the southern edge of this front is predominantly all rain. Through florida is the heaviest amounts, one to three inches. The winter storms have been getting more of the attention, but florida weve got a number of places that could set top five wettest januaries this month because we have had some pretty persistent rain this month. The invitations are out. There seems to be a snag in the syrian peace talks. A major u. S. Ally is standing in the way. Denmarks new law to help pay for rising refugees. Critics say it is a violation of human rights. There is controversy and disagreement two days before the proposed syrian peace talks over who gets to join. The kurdish pyg not invited. That group controls chunks of northern syria. Other groups didnt want the p. Y. D. There, saying the kurds havent been fighting the assad regime. The turkish authorities have long let it be known that they are opposed to the y. P. G. Being involved, the p. Y. D. Being involved in these talks in syria. However, on the ground in syria, the y. P. G. Is the most effective fighting force. The u. S. , the United States particularly has been working with them for a long time supplying them with small arms, supplying them with logistical assistance to fight isil. They were wanting some sort of representation at these talks. Sergey lavrov has said we cannot achieve the results we want in syria if the p. Y. D. Is excluded. The russians have made their views clear. The leader of the p. Y. D. Has said we expected to be on the table, we expect to be invited. He hasnt received an have it yet and they represent a large section of Syrian Society. There are a lot of syrian kurds living in the country, and he says we should be represented around those tables and if were not, then these geneva three talks could fail, he suspects like the geneva two talks held back in february, 2014 and failed because he says not every aspect of Syrian Society was represented around the table. Bernard smith reporting. The u. N. Has yet to reveal a full list of who will attended the talks. There is criticism over a law in denmark designed to make the country less attractive to refugees by seizing their valuables. Human Rights Groups say that is a dangerous precedent. The lawmakers in copenhagen see it differently. The mood was subdued, the three hour debate polite. 81 votes to 27, politicians said police can seize valuables worth more than 1500 u. S. Dollars from refugees. The cash will be used to help cover housing and food costs while they wait for their asylum claims to be heard. Those behind the bill are determined that it is fair. The argument that denmark doesnt do its bit, we absolutely do our bit when it comes to refugees in europe. Its not a secret that when we stand here today, it is because we wish to take a smaller share. Denmark took in a record 20,000 refugees last year and its not the only country to make them pay for living expenses. Switzerland takes valuables worth more than 985. Parts of germany have a similar policy. Critics and supporters of the bill say it has more to do with deterring refugees to cross the border. The United Nations is concerned. The decision to give Danish Police the authority to search and confiscate values from Asylum Seekers sends damaging messages and runs the risk of fueling sentiments of fear rather than solidarity for people in need of protection. The danish politician say it is in line with danes themselves who have to sell assets of more than 1,500 to receive benefits. They may keep wedding an engagement rings, family portraits and meat also. They might have to hand over watches, computers and mobile phones, sometimes their only link to family and friends they may have left behind. Al jazeera. The chair of refugees welcome denmark offer free legal counseling to the refugees. She joins us live from copenhagen. The vote wasnt even close, 8127. What does that say to you about denmark and its attitude toward refugees . Well, the whole of europe is part of a competition these days to appear least attractive to refugees, so this is just one step on the way and it seems like denmark is taking a lead right now to scare people away from coming to denmark, but its quite ridiculous, because the refugees are arriving at europes borders no matter what we do, so were just pushing around people from one country to another. We have to face the problem and find a common solution in the whole of europe. Also police can seize valuables worth more than 1500 u. S. Dollars from the refugees including watches. Why should police be able to seize their assets and do they have any Legal Recourse . June its really ridiculous to have this. Its a completely symbolic part of the law this one and got so much attention in the international media, which is a bit sad, i think, because its really not important to people. Most people who arrive at denmark and ask for asylum have absolutely nothing of value, so its not really going to make any difference for them. What will make a difference is that we have strengthened and restricted a lot of rules, which will really change their lives. The most important one is that a part of the Syrian Refugees will have to wait three years before they can even apply for family reunification. Why is denmark so afraid . Has anything happened that would cause people to fear these refugees . Well, its not only denmark, its the whole north of europe and it has to do with our welfare system. I think that we have a tax based welfare system and were very afraid that when people come here, they will have to be able to support themselves, because as long as they dont, there will be a huge expense to society, and its also a very highly Skilled Labor market that we have, quite difficult to enter, so our experience is people from far away from europe have difficulty to enter the labor market and support themselves, which is actually more maybe a problem for us than for them. Thats one of the reasons why people are so afraid of having too many at one time in a short time. On a practical note, do these people have no voice, theyre fleeing persecution and going anywhere that they are wanted when they are not wanted. How do you protest without being seen as a malcontent . Thats the ridiculous part about it, because on one hand, we recognize that these people are in danger and give them asylum if they enter or border and give them some kind of human rights, but at the same time, we try to scare them away to go to somewhere else. We think that these people are the problem of some other countries. I dont know why turkey and lebanon should be more burdened by refugees than syria than we should, but thats the opinion of the danish state. As part of the bill and this is the part i read that really seemed to be most trouble, families can be separated for as long as five years. Is denmark rolling out the welcome mat or rolling it up and is the country saying you just arent want here . Well, we have to accept the people who actually enter the country not to break the conventions, but then we try to scare away their families to make the number smaller. When people hear that there is this risk of having to wait up to five years, three years in the law, but in practice, up to five years. Then of course people will consider going to somewhere else where they can have access to get their family immediately, so its part of the scare away campaign, you can say. Its not really because we want to separate families, but its something that is very important for refugees to have their family with them, of course. Its a basic human thing to be with your family, so if we try to make restrictions on this access, then of course, many people will try to find another place to stay, so it is working, unfortunately. Thank you very much. Concerns over the unchecked spread of the zika virus. President obama calls for action as brazil is trying to contain the virus. Well talk about who is at risk and how its transmitted. A state of emergency over the homeless problem in seattle, killings raise fears over whether the city is doing enough.

The leader of that armed group occupying a federal wildlife refuge in oregon is under arrest. Police saying ammon bundy and several others were arrested during a traffic stop tuesday. Another member was killed. The group has occupied the refuge since january 2, demanding the land be turned over to local ranchers. Donald trump will not take part in tomorrows debate.

Sake the man was planning to killed dozen little at a temple. He was arrested after buying machine guns from undercover agents. Also this morning, president Obama Joining the calls for a larger Public Health response to fight zika virus. He discussed fast tracking research for a vaccine, the virus transmitted by mosquitoes is spreading across central and saw the america. Dozens in these states and puerto rico have tested positive for zika. It is getting more attention because of links to birth defects. Officials here are trying to contain it. The c. D. C. Confirmed that residents of virginia and arkansas tested positive for the zika virus. Both had seriesly traveled outside the u. S. Zika is a new virus spread nothing moss skeet bites. It first appeared in the americas in 2014 and spread to 20 countries. The c. D. C. Urged pregnant women or women who may become pregnant not to travel to 24 destinations. It released guidelines on when to test newborns for the virus and when to do ultra sounds or pregnant women. Laboratory confirms you only have a handful of cases but the huge increase of zika especially in northeastern brass still and the rise of zika cases gives a lot of reason for concern, and now that the big task is to try to establish the link here. The World Health Organization suspects there is a link between the virus in brazil and microcephaly, children born with be a normally small heads and brains, so far, the evidence is circumstance. Other countries that have had outbreaks have not reported these cases. In brazil, workers fume gated Rio De Janeiro where the upcoming carnival parades will be held as part of an effort to contain the virus. During carnival, there will be people from the world and brazil which will help the virus get in and with the warriors flying around, you could have the start of an epidemic. 18 new cases of the virus were confirmed in addition to one known earlier, the majority of the cases are in the southeast of the island and the victims mostly elderly. United airlines and latin americas Largest Airlines will wave cancellation or flight change fees for people who want to change trips to countries where the zika view us is present. As more travelers come back to the u. S. With the virus, there could be more cases. I think well probably have small splurges or clusters, but beyond that, im really pretty confident that we will not have widespread zika view with us. Its hard to spot and just one in five infected develop symptoms. There is no treatment for this virus. If you get infected, we cant give you a drug to cure you and theres no vaccine yet, so the whole trick is to stay away from infected mosquitoes. Which may become more difficult. Health officials expect the virus to spread to every country in north and south america except canada and chile. Health Officials Say it wont spread to canada and chile because a specific mosquito is not found there. Lets bring in the director of global Disaster Response with harvard medical school. Govern, thank you for being with us. I guess that is my first question. How does zika spread . It is not as i understand it a person to person transmission, so why are we seeing it crop up in places from asia to arkansas . Good morning. With the zika virus, a mosquito, there are two types here in the u. S. We know can tran mitt the virus. The mass keith has to bite a person with active infection and then it has to go on and bite another person and transmits the infection that way. It has to bite a person with the infection, an active infection of the virus to transmit to another person who doesnt have the virus. Thats how the transmission occurs. The c. D. C. Is warning pregnant women not to travel to more than 20 countries. In south america, women are basically being told dont have a baby. What have you thought of the response by countries so far . This is really important when it comes to Public Health messages. When you develop a Public Health message, you have to think about what is the message i want to tell my family, what do i want to tell my wife and children. In this situation, weve seen the country like el salvador which has recommended just this week that women should not get pregnant for the next two years until 2018, but this is a country that doesnt have the means to do that, so while you can make a Public Health recommendation, youve got to look at the reality, calibrate your confidence and look at your limitations. Birth control in a country like el salvador doesnt exist. What is the how, the how to make that recommendation happen. Weve got to be very careful on what Public Health authorities actually too recommend. We have to be careful about putting fear and risk in perspective at this point. Assuming one is not pregnant, what is the worse that can happen if theyre bitten by a zika carrying mosquito . Zika virus is a disease, when we started to see cases, we werent too worried about it. This wasnt a big deal because in 80 of the people infected, theyre not going to have symptoms. In those that have, they are very mild. You might get a bit of a five, a headache, you might have an eye infection. You could develop a rash, but these are mild symptoms that tend to go away after about a week or so. Buff when we are talking about more than 3800 indicates of microcephaly, when babies are born with be a normally small heads in brazil since october, the Previous Year there were a couple hundred of those cases, that connection is being drawn. How tight is that link and why dont we know more about the link and whether it is conclusive . And this is really new, just happening right now. In 2014, it was around 150 case of a abnormal small heads in children in newborn children. What we are seeing now, though, thats up to 4,000 in just a few months in brazil. Weve got this link between microcephaly increasing and the virus increasing. The infection is bound in the placentas of mothers. We need to collect more evidence and data, but were pretty sure with the evidence we have now, theres a correlation between increased zika virus and increased micro receively, these small abnormal heads. These children will have developmental problems and could die. We have to think about Family Planning decisions that we need to make in southeastern states of the u. S. As we get to spring and summer and those mosquitoes, population starts to increase. Weve got to use map to say critically show where high risk areas could be. We appreciate your expertise on this, thank you. Health Officials Say women should be screened for depression during and after pregnancy. The died lines saying the new evidence suggests that cases of post partum depression often start during the pregnancy. Other researchers suggest it is far more common than once thought and could affect one in seven mothers. Depression i guess the leading cause of disease related disability in women around the world. Police in seattle are trying to find those responsible for shooting at a homeless camp. Two people were killed. As Hermela Aregawi reports, it is the latest trouble as the ski tries to deal with the growing problem. Police say the victims of tuesday nights shooting lived at a camp known locally as the jungle. We do have at least two persons of interest. We believe this was a targeted incident. The shooting comes at a time when several cities including seattle, new york and washington, d. C. Are grappling with homelessness. Seattles has risen sharply. King county saw a 21 increase in Homeless Population in 2014 over the year before. Executives declared a state of emergency, pledging more than 7 million to address the crisis. We are involved in a homeless crisis, the like we have not seen since the great depression. The executive order was not a gimmick. It was an actual plea that seattle by ourselves cannot deal with this crisis. It was an actual plea to the state and federal government to assist us. The mayor has been criticized by the homeless and their allies for shutting down unauthorized camps without notice despite the lack of shelter beds. He said the lack of Mental Health care funding and a National Heroin epidemic has aggravated the problem. For the past year, the mayor and Business Leaders in the city have been lobbying for an increase in Mental Health care funding. According to the National Alliance on mental illness, Washington State spends 40 below the national average. What is the city going to do next . The city hasnt had control of this area that includes this camp known as the jungle for two decades. In the next 48 hours, police and investigators will assess the area along the ifive in seattle and figuring out how to prevent Something Like this happening. It seems it has reached crisis levels in some parts of that city. Thank you for joining us. There are new details in a Fatal Police Shooting in chicago. Newly released tapes showing a 19yearold calling police three times before they came to his amount september 26. He begged for help, saying his life was being threatened in a fight with his father. Police arrived and shot and killed him and a neighbor. Police called the shooting an accident. That shooting right after christmas just the latest to draw attention to the chicago p. D. Two other shootings at the hands of one officer receiving very little in the way of publicity, the officer not charged in either case. The parents of the victim sitting down with al jazeera to share their story. This is Police Dash Cam video showing Chicago Police officer shooting flint farmer dead in 2011. He was a suspect in a domestic disturbance. He walks behind him, then puts the three kill shots in the back of his head and neck. Was farmer armed . He was armed with a cell phone. Lorendo davis, a former lead Police Investigator with the city agreed with farmers family that this was a careless of murder. Davis bosses and the citys independent Police Review authority overruled him and the states attorney declined to prosecute saying even though the officer made a mistake, his actions were not criminal. Sierra had also shot and killed darius, another unarmed man six months earlier in an unrelated case of mistaken identity. The officer said at the time he stopped the man because his car was wanted in a shooting. Sierra was never charged in either case and eventually left the force. No justice, no peace. The families of the two men have continued demanding justice for the victims, and now following novembers release of the laquan mcdamaged Police Shooting video a new spotlight is being shined on these cases. Its like i told you so, you know, ive been saying it all along, they be lying. So these other mothers hear what they said, dont let nobody tell you nothing about your child. It hasnt come to a climax yet. It is a lot of relief knowing something is starting to be done. The family of farmer settled with the city for 1. 4 million. The family of pinex sued for Excessive Force last year and lost. This month, a federal judge ruled that two attorneys with the city withheld evidence in that case, and ordered a new trial. Now, those two city attorneys are out along with the Police Superintendent at the time, and the head of the city Police Investigative unit, who clashed with investigator lorenzo davis. It makes me feel better that i got people to resign is what i did, all these crooked people. I did that. Whether the pinex family moves ahead or accept as settlement, the attorney for a family in another Police Involved shooting says this is no way for a city to operate. It doesnt do any good to keep releasing videos of teenagers getting shot and killed in the streets and the city of chicago just paying people. The attorney for former officer sierra tells us he was just as wronged by the city attorneys who withheld evidence as the minex family was. Sierra could Face Criminal Charges and a federal civil rights charge, because after the mcdonald video was reds, the city asked federal investigators to look into all of the citys Police Involved killings, just as the families always wanted. Black people dont have litters. We have children. People that care about them, you know . Al jazeera, chicago. This week, president obama announced his latest effort to reform americas prisons, taking executive action to ban solitary confinement for some juveniles in federal jails. He said the changes are essential because punishment can have long term psychological consequences. The guidelines include banning solitaire confinement for juveniles with low offenses, adult prisoners are locked up, 13 juvenile inmates were sent between 2014 and 2015 in the federal system. An inmate can currently face up to a year in solitaire. Under the president s action, that is changing to a maximum of 60 days. Criminal justice advocate glenn martin himself has spent time in prison. He told me that he hopes the president s guidelines can become a model most of state prisons around the country. The question of how do we want people to come home. All the research and evidence tells us solitary confinement creates a situation where people actually come home more broken than they might have been into prison. Essentially he is trying to reverse the trend, recognizing that with young people, the human brain is developing up to the age of 24, there can be long lasting effect from these inhumane conditions. In fact, there are 1012 states, i believe that have already begun limiting the use of solitary confinement. Are we only talking about juveniles or should web looking at the adult prison population as well because there has also been research on the psychological impact on adults held in salutory. States are starting to roll back the number of people that are in solitary confinement and also change the conditions. It affects adults just as much as young people. In prison, they use solitary confinement to control the prison population. At a turn point, you hit a Tipping Point where people come out sometimes even more violent than they went into the situation, as you can imagine being in one cell 23 hours a day can create that sort of psychological effect. We have research to tell us we should be doing more of what works and less of that doesnt. The u. N. Said solitary confinement beyond 15 days is considered torture.

Uber is testing to make sure drivers are safe on the road. Critics say it may do more harm than good. This you tube video pokes fun, but the ride sharing companys latest announcement is no joke. Uber is running a Pilot Program measuring small movements on a drivers phone, trying so his if drivers are speeding and braking too fast. The companys chief Security Officer says if a rider complains that a driver accelerated too fast and braked too hard, we can use that data. We hope to use technology to increase safety. 10,000 deaths related to speeding were recorded in the j in 2012. Uber likely has the right to monitor those working for the service. They are not going to hand out tickets and theyre not going to take them to court or throw them in jail. They can decide whether somebody who is providing a service under their name to their customers i also adhering total law. Critics say the technology could be added stress for drivers. Its yet east distraction where you have to think about how fast youre going and how hard youre braking when you should really be thinking about whats in front of you and keeping everyone safe.
