Transcripts For ALJAZAM Your World This Morning 20160325

Welcome to your world this morning. U. S. Officials confirming that at least two americans were killed in the attacks in brussels and there are no specifics on where they died and right now the manhunt is still on going for this man and one other unidentified person believed to have been involved in the bombings. And secretary of state john kerry is in belgium in a show of solidarity and holding Counter Terrorism talks with eu authorities and secretary kerry expressed condolence for the at least 31 people killed. We will not be intimated. We will not be deterred. And we will come back with greater resolve, with greater strength and we will not rest until we have eliminated your neolistic beliefs and cowardess from the face of this earth. Ahead of kerrys visit belgium security alert level was lowered a notch from the highest level saying threat of attack is less imminent but looking for more suspects in connection to attacks. At least 7 people arrested in a series of rates overnight and into this morning. Al jazeeras paul brennan has the latest on the on going investigation. Reporter yes, weve had as you know six raids or six arrests which took place last night, that is thursday night into friday. A series of raids across a wide area of brussels and surrounding suburbs, plaques like sky beck and yeti and three arrests in brussels outside the federal Prosecutors Office and two arrested in yeta and a house search in the burrow of brussels itself. There will be more information which is going to be released by the federal prosecutor at some point during this morning on those. Then this morning we heard of yet more arrests and yet more raids in a district called forest. The prosecutors so far only saying that several raids and several arrests without being specific about the numbers were promising more details when they are able to clarify the situation. As far as the people who were arrested yesterday they will now have to go before an investigative magistrate who will rule on whether or not there is sufficient evidence to press charges or continue with their detention and that will be sorted out during the course of the next couple of hours. Al jazeeras paul brennan reporting from brussels and coming up, later this hour we will look at what belgium and europe could do better to uncover plots among groups that feel marginilzed and they arrested a man suspected of another plot and say he was part of a group preparing the final stages of attack and have not released details but say so far it does not appear to be connected to brels or paris. And secretary of state after marathon meetings in moscow and the attacks point out the need for political stability in syria and meeting with Vladimir Putin and Sergei Fedorov and kerry says they have reached an understanding on just how fragile the truce in syria can be strengthened but russian war planes still hitting targets in syria including palmyra and mohamed has more. Reporter these pictures broadcast on Syrian State Television are said to show a significant advance, Syrian Government forces fighting to recapture the historic city of palmyra from i. S. I. L. , state media also showed planes and helicopters flying overhead and soldiers on the crime and human rights said many fled palmyra after aisles told them via loudspeakers fighting was nearing and they are losing palmyra and releasing the video that shows fighters driving around parts of the city as Syrian Government troops advance. Some analysts believe the Syrian Government advance will be a morale booster. Given all the bad news coming out of europe and focus on i. S. I. S. As a terrorist organization this focuses att d attention on i. S. I. S. As a failed state and u. S. And russia are working closely together in terms of air strikes and diplomatic channels in geneva, this is a pretty significant setback for i. S. I. S. , not the end yet but it seems to me to be the beginning of the end. Reporter palmyra has a unesco world site and i. S. I. L. Captured the historic city in may and began a campaign of mass executions and destroying ancient sites and its on a desert highway in central syria strategically between damascus and the i. S. I. L. Stronghold and government control of palymra would help court off a supply route and significantly reduced violence but agreement excludes el nusra front and i. S. I. L. Considered terrorist groups by the Syrian Government and they withdrew most forces from syria after launching air strikes for six months. But this is evidence that the government of syrian president Bashar Alassad is still making advances, mohamed with al jazeera. And u. S. Marines appeared to have expanded their role in fighting i. S. I. L. Inside iraq, a group of marines operating for a small out post firing rounds and help finding targets part of operation to retake mosul and officials long insisted 200 marines are there to provide security for iraqi soldiers and u. S. Advisors. Justice department blaming iran for a cyber attack that hit the u. S. And they say they knocked dozens of webbisites of line and 46 major banks and Financial Institutions and hackers got in the Computer System of a dam in new york state and al jazeera science and Technology Correspondent jacob ward reports. Reporter hackers are of course everywhere these days but the seven men chart in this indictment are normally a rare breed. They are charged with having worked directly for a foreign government. The events that took place under this indictment happened between 2011 and 2013 when supposedly these men attacked various civilian targets in the United States. Now the teaming of this unsealing of the indictment is sending a signal and how the Justice Department described it. Today let this indictment reenforce the days of perceived are gone and we can remove the cloak and we will and the announcement proves there is no free pass for those who conduct nation state affiliated intrusions. Reporter attacks mostly denial of service attacks in which you simply bottom barred your targets with so much data they cant handle it and they shut down but one of the attackers got into what is called a command and control system for a dam in a suburb of new york city called the bowman dam in new york and he didnt take control but he accessed the system from across the world is very unsettling especially when you consider there are at least 57,000 Industrial Control Systems in the United States that are connected to the internet in some way. In fact, a hacker that we interviewed last year someone operating above board as a consultant showed us an instance which he could manipulate Traffic Signals at major cities across the United States, these sorts of systems are typically brought on line haphazard and dont have what you expect from your phone at home. Now this timing and the fact that these were nation state actors as they were described by john carlin you heard there makes this a very unusual case. Most hackers do not affiliate themselves directly with a nation state and its no longer a world which you have to have the resources of a country to make this happen. We spoke to a security researcher from hp who described to us how the landscape is changing here. So if you see south korea or north korea you see russia you see a lot of the middle Eastern Countries will invest more in this because its a capability that helps to give them more political influence, gives them more military might if you will and so i think that you will see a lot of the same kinds of skill sets being grown up even in countries that dont have the financial where with all to compete in a physical military. Reporter what we are going to see in the future is its not a question of needing to be affiliated with a nation to pull this kind of attack off. Instead its just anyone with a laptop and enough time and patience who can theoretically do damage to a target a world away. Jacob ward reporting, all 7 suspects believed to be currently liven in iran, iran government has not commented on the allegations. Indiana governor signing a bill advocates say will reduce a womans access to abortions and provisions challenged in the Supreme Court and also requires the mother to pay for the burial or re cremation of her fetus and bans them for disabilities and with the Indiana Coalition for reproductive rights say the bill is going to hurt indiana families. It will raise maternal mortality. It will incur suffering of babies. There will be more competition for the scarce services that there are for people with disabilities and these are such a stress on families and it disrupts families and bankrupts families and disrupts parenting of existing children. Announcer that bill also requires doctors to have admitting privileges at local hospitals, those oppose to the law promise a legal challenge and there is a new law in the books in North Carolina being called discriminatory against gay, lesbian and transgender people. John henry smith big corporations are denouncing the law. Reporter overnight protesters camped out in the street outside the mansion of North Carolina governor pat mccory and a backlash over a new law that excludes day, lesbian and transgender people from discrimination protections and bars local officials from creating their own protections. This legislation is literally the most antilgbt legislation in the country. Reporter also expressing outrage corporate america, many of the states largest employers from American Airlines and pay pal all denounced the law and ncaa is monitoring the situation, deciding whether or not it will still hold scheduled championship basketball games there in 2017 and 2018. Nba expressed concern about hosting the 2017 allstar game in charlotte. Its that citys ordinance allowing transgender people to use the bathroom of their choosing that inspired the new law. This bill is simply about protecting the families and the children of a cross North Carolina. Reporter now all Public Institutions in North Carolina must insist that people use the bathroom that matches the gender on their birth certificate. Its common sense that boys should go to the boys room and girls should go to the girls room. I believe that god got it right in genesis 5 and 2 when he said he created the male and female. Reporter the governor called the charlotte law an over reach but lbgt advocates say the new rules put them at risk. Pat literally affirmed to our nation yesterday that North Carolina is not a friendly place for lgbt people. I wont go back to the mens room, its unsafe and people like me die there everyday. Reporter if the safety message doesnt provoke change an economic one will. I think its something we would worry more about when you get an organization like the nfl or the nba or the ncaa behind it and its much harder to coordinate individual businesses. Reporter now this situation has gotten the attention of politicians in washington, several democrats proposed amending the federal Civil Rights Act to include lgbt people but with republicans in charge of congress its unlikely that it will come to a vote any time soon. So john are those people opposed to this law planning a legal challenge to it at this point . Well the state and the National Branches of the aclu are quote exploring legal challenges to the discriminatory law and legal experts say this luna be in violation of federal title nine antidiscrimination law so that could cost the state in a lawsuit and certainly could cost the state similar funding. And in georgia it could cost 1 billion and John Henry Smith thank you very much. Easier day to get around in parts of the midwest after a powerful spring snowstorm blanketed wisconsin and left at least two people dead. Some areas of the state got up wards of a foot of snow and left roads slick and leading to lots of accidents and Officials Say the roads are clear for this mornings commute. Spreading wet weather all up and down the east coast, good morning Nicole Mitchell and supposed to be a Holiday Weekend. Yes so we have a couple changes in store as we head to the holiday and a look at the forecast and the same system up and down the east coast, not just wisconsin but that had brought the snow to colorado, minnesota through the great lakes and, in fact, if we look at the northern side of this seeing snow with us this morning in the very northern tip of maine. There is enough warm up up the coastline we will see through the course of the day is rain with this system now but a little bit of a freezing mix through Northern New England and the snow extreme northward and have different advisories that go up mostly for this afternoon before this finally clears up. Otherwise if we look at the south rn end of this end we had warm air and instability and today still that warm air and most is rain up the coastline and temperatures almost as warm as 70 in new york city with rain and the front comes through dropping the temperatures slight will i slightly in the day tomorrow and wind we looked at and a tornado report out of louisiana from yesterday and dealing with some of the rain and this will linger, the southern end will go stationary so for the next couple of days the rain will be stagnant to the southeast and the rest clears out for today. Through the course of the weekend we see rain and snow possibly colorado tonight and through the course of the weekend this really all starts, these two areas coming together just in time as you said for that holiday so not only could it be wet but it could be stormy as well for sunday, more on details of that forecast coming up, in just about a half hour, back to you guys. Nicole mitchell thank you. Intelligence lapses in the lead up to the brussels attacks. Europe examples the central mistakes we look at how Police Tactics here could close those gaps. Fighting for political survival, the strategy this one state is Bernie Sanders hopes could pave his way to the nomination. Missouri. Brick by brick, i will open it. It will take more than a few rocks to stop me from doin what i have to do. Suddenly heroin seems to be everywhere. Theres no way i am willing to give up my family for a drug ever again. I know you all have strong opinions about the border. I dont believe in borders. Our government is allowing an invasion. I dont really know as much as i thought i did. People dont just need protection, they need assistance. Whats your message then . We need help now. Oh my god. The towns out of water. We came up here to talk to some people who are selling fresh water. Fresh water for fracking. We are a town that greed destroyed. What do we want .

Were pushing the envelope with out science every day, we can save species. Im walking you guys all i wanted to see was her walk. It was amazing. These were emotions that i had been dreaming about for so long. Getting to the heart of the matter. Proud to tell your stories. Al jazeera america. Much of the investigation into both the paris and belgium attacks focused on the brussels suburb of molenbeek. And why people are attracted to extremism. Molenbe, k has poverty, unemployment and a young population but no means that Salah Abdeslam would be tempted by a message of mass violence, there are more than 20 mosques and informal prayer rooms in molenbeek and a concentration in one neighborhood but not many clues why many young people are being radicalized. They are not welcome in the mosque and if you say you want your son to go to syria for jihad they say go away, mosques have nothing to do with this. Reporter these days young people are more likely to be approached away from the mosque, maybe on the football picture in a cafe. Sarah runs a Youth Program at molenbeek town hall and say young people are most vulnerable to i. S. I. L. Mess mess j aing in their 20s. Translator they are under the radar and not from here but come into the area where young people hang out and they spot the ones who look the most angry or fragile and they approach them very carefully pretending to be friendly and eventually Start Talking about syria and draw them in. Reporter the revelation that some of the paris and brussels bombers lived here is hurting a whole community. The negative stereotypes that many people have about molenbeek are part of the problem. Imagine you are a young person who just finished school and maybe got good grades but then an employer sees the word molenbeek on your cv and that is the end of your chances. But here is one local man who decided to go against that trend and opened an organic cafe with a difference offering salami and other meats to his muslim and nonmuslim clientele. Translator because im from molenbeek a priority is to help people work their way out of poverty and get ahead and improve their lives. Reporter its an alternative vision to the one pushed by i. S. I. L. Recruiters, the idea that you can be a full european citizen while still being proud of your own culture and heritage. Jackie roland, al jazeera, molenbeek. Columbo is a Security Consultant about and former Police Officer in Nassau County new york and is from orlando and thanks for being with us and how do you police a city with molenbeek with different cultures and languages without turning it into a police state and breeding for more unrest . Well its problematic and that is not the only city on the planet having this problem. If you look at any city like new york for example as well, we have as much ethnic and religious diversity its hard to keep anyone happy. The problem in molenbeek seems to be a very simple one, Islamic Community is in a state of being disenfranchised and lends itself to younger islamic men in particular to pursue these paths of terrorism. Is it the Islamic Community in molenbeek is disenfranchised or Law Enforcement doesnt get it and lets talk about Salah Abdeslam and according to his lawyer once he was picked up he was questioned only once on saturday. This is the man who was the subject of a global manhunt, do authorities in your opinion in belgium get it . No, i think the authorities throughout europe in general havent gotten it. I dont think there is an exchange of information between these countries. I think their Intelligence Community is not up to speed or staffing to pursue and to surveillance the number of potential threats in europe and think they are way behind the curve. Do they have enough time to catch up . One of the things we are finding out is that u. S. Knows more who is dangerous than europe and they were on the u. S. Watch list but unknown to authorities in belgium and also warned by authorities in turkey. That is correct when you talk about our Law Enforcement is second to none. Our fbi and our cia, nsa, there is not any better intelligence Gathering Group on the planet. The problem is a rather simple one that has to do with the exchange of information, if you go back 15 years to the 9 11 event one of the criticisms was the fact that the cia and the fbi were not exchanging information. And although that is very difficult on the surface when you hear it to absorb, it is unfortunately quite necessary because the fbis position is that they want to maintain the integrity of their investigations and the way to prevent compromise is not to disseminate information. The cia has the exact same posture. So you have to see how this is like the systemic issue that could lend itself to intelligence failure. Now when you look at the european continent these are all independent countries and we dont know what their relationships are other than the fact that they are trying to share the same currency. I will tell you with servetude the british does not disseminate information the way our cia and fbi. In belgium is they dont talk to the federal police there but want to ask you how do you go from getting tough on attackers without becoming a police state and in the u. S. They want to surveillance muslims like donald trump and should ban all muslims coming in the United States, Police Commissioner saying that is a slap in the face to 1,000 muslim officers serving in the nypd and thousands in the military so who is right . You know, that is a political question, del, and i have a tendency to avoid these political topics. Youre talking about an issue where you are talking about a population that is suspect, so as a Law Enforcement officer how do you patrol a suspect population so why dont we take out the word muslim and insert italians. What you really have to do is try to asimulate into these neighborhoods and establish relationships with them so they have a Comfort Level and an inclination to talk to you for example. That happens in minority neighborhoods, italian neighborhoods, muslim neighborhoods and should be a Standard Police procedure or philosophy in a Law Enforcement agency, commissioner braton is 100 correct and the exercise is not to over police the muslim community, the exercise is to develop an Intelligence Network where you can identify people who are problematic from that group, the same way we did with the mafia, there is not much difference here and has to do with the philosophy. Unfortunately the rhetoric you are making reference to during the president ial campaign is alarming to people and on the surface when a president ial candidate makes a comment about banning muslims in the country its one that appeals to the general populus and simply by virtue of the fact that even the fbi director james comey who is an exceptional person and Law Enforcement leader has indicated you cannot vet people coming into our country from this region. Let me finish one other thing that i think is highly relevant to this problem in europe. Angela merkel i guess arbitrarily somewhat decided to allow over 1. 1 million islamic migrants into europe and there is no vetting process and here is all i want to say to you in reference to that. If you let one Million People into your country you cant vet and you have a problem with 1 of those, that is 10,000 people, that is a low t of people to keep track of and in europe the entell intelligence mechanism does not exist to surveillance who they need to and with surveillance on one individual on a 24 hour bases on going you need over 30 agents and has a lot to do with math. Leave it as that and thanks for being with us and for Political Correctness many coming in the country were christians as well and thank you very much. Agreed.

We may not have a clear nominee for either party until the conventions later this summer, but as Al Jazeera David shuster reports Hillary Clinton and donald trump are already setting their sights on each other. Reporter even though both Party Nominations will not be settled for months, donald trump is treating Hillary Clinton as if the general election has begun as and she is his opponent. He says his new motto for her is incompetent hillary. Incompetent Hillary Clinton doesnt know what she is talking about. She doesnt have a clue. She makes bad decisions. Reporter she is also describing him loose canyons misfire canons misfire reporter it is donald trump who has a record of making mottos and ridicule stick. As the trump incline tore issues intensify the attacks keep coming at both of them from their Party Nomination rivals secretary clinton has supported every one of these trade agreements reporter on top of blasting free trade deals, Bernie Sanders is hammering her ties to wall street. The latest National Poll from bumberg politics, sanders 49 and clinton 48. Sanders was happy to point out the results of latest cnn poll Hillary Clinton did very well.

Slogans supporting donald trump showed up on campus written on chalk. They say he promotes discriminatory policy. They say it is hate speech. Free speech is being limited in annedorial Newspaper Freedom of speech works both ways joining us now the student who wrote those words. He is the editor in chief of the emery wheel. Good morning and thank you for your time. An important debate youre having at the campus there. First of all, why did someone write trump in chalk become such a big deal on campus . At the very beginning on monday when this began, i didnt understand what it was happening. Since ive spoken with numerous, dozens even, protesters and members of the community who were really behind this, what ive learned from them is that while many of us, to me, to a lot of my peers, trump is a president ial candidate and represents what could come of america, to some of these students its more. He represents what could come of their families, what could come of their fate in this country. Ive seen it. Anywhere concerns, their their concer, their fear, their entire current state is genuine. There is nothing fake about this. This is true things theyre feeling. That being said, as i wrote in the letter i published for me on wednesday, we nonetheless cannot i dont believe in any way hinder total freedom of speech, even on a college campus. Of all places we have to maintain freedom of speech there the president of your university sent out this email after he met with the protesters which said Student Voice their genuine concern and pain in the face of this perceived intimidation. Is it true that some of the chalk writing was at an entrance for black and latino students and are they protesting . They were a large portion. There are students from other groups around campus. The chalkings were written on the steps going up to the university center, which ask our Student Center building. In that building the unions exist. They were written going in, but theyre also written going into a much broader building a gathering for all students. Yes you wrote in youred forrial that constructive conversation over free speech can exist only with a total allowance of speech. Whats the response, then, to your editorial . Can you clarify what you mean . In other words, again you take this free speech stance. Clearly in your editorial. What has the response been from other students . It has been very good. Ive received a lot of support from students, from administrators and everywhere in between. Ive received a lot of criticism too. There are people on both sides, a lot of some of the protesters feel that will i did not have a place to come out and say that they do not have a valid claim to attack freedom of speech have they accused you of being a donald trump supporter . Not in any emails directly sent to me or anything like that. I i cant speak to the comments section. I havent really been there. I try not to do you think this gives example of donald trump applicant kal correctness, run amok. I think this is indicative of a larger problem which ask that donald trump, the name trump for some americans, at least some emery students has, as i said, means more than a political candidate. It has come to symbolize and embody hatred and fear. I think thats a matter that mr trump should address nationally because i dont think that at least i like to think that thats not an association he wants with his name and i would like to think that that ask not what he is about as a candidate thanks so much for joining us this morning. Thanks for having me staying with politics, byes kon son holding the president ial primary on april 5. A win in that state could help Bernie Sanders close the gap with Hillary Clinton. As our correspondent rofrts, the African American vote there could be decisive. Reporter when it comes to campaigning for candidates im canvassing for Bernie Sanders reporter she has been doing it since she was seven. Bernie sanders. Yeah. I vote for him i was in a campaign for 35 years ago reporter a Bernie Sanders supporter she is trying to work her magic in the African Americans neighborhoods. Who is it going to be . Hillary clinton that sends chills down my spine reporter why do you support bernie . He speaks to my heart. I am for Economic Justice and thats what he speaks. Reporter with 96 delegates, wisconsin could be important to the sanders campaign. While Hillary Clinton led sanders by 9 last december, he pulled ahead of her slightly in the most recent poll a win in wisconsin which stands alone between the earlier primaries and the later gives him an opportunity to reemerge and show that he can win in a midwestern stay. Reporter in po popular areas like here, African American voters could play a pivotal role. Sanders a bit better in states like michigan where he hammered Hillary Clinton oishs like trade and jobs. Graduate student steven january son says janson he says he res an eights with her. With shrinking economy and less revenue for cities to operate, theres less jobs available. Reporter but in matrimonial home middle aged voters say Hillary Clinton has a better track record with African Americans Bernie Sanders was the senator and vermont. How many African Americans was in vermont that he had to represent. Reporter at clintons office staff and volunteers are manning the phones hoping a heavy voter turn out will favor clinton we need more people making phone calls reporter necessity also hope to reach voters before she does. Do you know about Bernie Sanders . Residents in flint, michigan, are asking for more help getting clean water. The aclu demanded water be delivered to homes. It says many residents dont have cars and cant get to distribution sites. Some people in flint are worried the crisis could impact a project helping to revive the city. If its a situation where you want to intentionally lower that, you have to. Reporter in a city plagued by water crisis, dozens packed a meeting to learn how to keep their garden safe i think thats the key fact here, is that we dont believe we had widespread soil led contamination reporter a nonprofit called edible flinlt is leading the conversation. It was nearly two years ago when the citys water supply became tainted with led. A city wide emergency wasnt declared until two months ago folks are definitely concerned about what the water crisis does for their plant health, but also if safety in their vegetables in their gardens reporter they say that the demolition of Vacant Properties over the past seven years has led to an urban gardening boom. So far the organization supports more than 300 gardens throughout the city but risks losing some over fierce about led contamination.

This is our soil probe. Were going to go down at least six seven inches and collect dirt reporter it conduct about 50 soil tests a year. That number is expected to more than double. Then if anything has over 300 p Prime Minister we will notify them that they would maybe need to do something so far as trying to put more compost or something into their soil to help remove that led amount. Reporter in a city where access to fresh fruit and vegetables are is limited, this group of community garners is already getting a head start. Reporter gardening has always been really important here in flint. Just because its sustainable living. Reporter this woman says that theyve been encouraged to plant vegetables that fight led exposure and use led filters on hoses to prevent contamination. She worries whether thats enough. We give all the vegies and the fruit az way. We have to be kamply that what were giving away is safe and healthy for everyone to eat reporter nearly two years after complaints began pouring in once tap water is still off limits. These gardens hope that it doesnt stop a flourishing Gardening Movement from growing even more if you live in one of those parts of the country digging out of snow, Nicole Mitchell has bad news.

Denver is grid locked. Not as much snow in general, but its getting lately in the season. I think a lot of people are over it with the snow in general. Some are like two to four inches. Not as much, but still thats a decent snow fall. When we get into the mid west one or two inches. A lot less significant but still trouble some heading into the weekend. Getting to the holiday itself. The is system slides south. Going to have a frontal boundary from whats on the east coast now lingering. That will cause a wide area of potential moisture.

Reporter it has taken a lot of work to make this production happen. 61 shipping containers were brought in full of equipment along with a 747 full of equipment. Everything down to the hammer and nail was brought in. They estimate that about half a million cubans are attend this free concert. It is not being funded by the government or the stones for that matter, but the 7 million is coming from an organization connected to the island. The concert has to be free because most cubans wouldnt be able to afford buying a ticket to a stones concert. They can easily cost 500, over a thousand dollars. Its expensive even in the u. S. , of course. The average cuban with the wage makes 20 or 40 a month. This really isnt a concert meant to make havana a regular stop. It is very much symbolic and a way for one of the biggest rock groups ever to welcome cuba to a knew era. Translation for our country, it is the first time we have the Rolling Stones in cuba, we grew up admiring them. Thats a good thing for our country considering we are willing to see the relationship between the United States and cuba improving and at the same time its good to start seeing International Acts come into the country reporter you are probably asking the Rolling Stones are british. What do they have to do with u. S. Cuba relations and what happened with obama visiting the country. It says something about the power of the u. S. Because when it decides to enact an embargo and prevent americans from visiting the island, it also discourages citizens from other countries to come here and do business here. So this concert can important because it really is connecting cuba with the rest of the world. Melissa chen it was a sweet night for the top seeds if you are looking at your brackets.

Salah abdeslam was one of the paris attackers, back in december of last year, but unfortunately, not through a deliberate act of omission, but an unfortunate error, that information never made it into the larger database of the anti terror investigation that was going on. He has apologised for that. It highlights the fragmented nature of the Security Forces and the Intelligence Services here in brussels. It is certainly something that the brussels government has pledged to address thank you for that also this morning French Police say they have arrested a man suspected of yet another plot. French authorities saying that this man was part of a group preparing the final stages of an attack. They havent released details, but they say it doesnt seem to be connected to brussels or paris.

Secretary of state john kerry has confirmed that two americans were killed in this weeks attacks in brussels kerry is in belgium this morning for Counter Terrorism talks with belgium and e. U. Authorities. There have been raids over night in belgium. Officials say they have detained seven people the manhunt is ongoing for this man as well as one other unidentified person believed to have been involved in the bombings. Ministers have offered to resign over security mistakes a former Police Officer told me last hour on your world this morning that the lack of information sharing is the main obstacle to better security in europe our f. B. I. , csc, n. S. A. , there isnt any better intelligence gather group on the planet. It has to do with exchange of information. If you go back 15 years to the 9 1 event, one criticism was that the c. I. A. And f. B. I. Were not exchanging information. Although that is very difficult on the surface when you hear it to absorb, it is unfortunately quite necessary because the f. B. I. Position is they want to maintain the integrity. The way to avoid compromise is not to disseminate. C. I. A. Has the same issue. When you look at the european continent, these are independent countries. We dont know what their relationships are except trying to share the same your honour see d the same currency. It is up to pursue and surveil the number of potential threats in europe. Theyre way behind the curve. You have to try to assimilate into these neighborhoods and establish relationships with them so they talk to you. That happens in minority neighborhoods. It should be a standard policy. The exercise is not to over police the muslim community. It is to develop a network where you can identify people who are problematic from that group the same way we did with the behalf ee a mafia he said surveilling one person 24 hours a day takes 30 agents. That is a huge expense and difficult to pull off even when it is a large city police department. In politics that war of words between ted cruz and donald trump heating um a pro cruz this. This two women sidebyside on twitter. Cruz told trump to leave his wife out of it and that tweet went too far. It is not acceptable for a big loud new yorke bully to attack my wife. Youre an snivell coward and leave heidi alone ted cruz is refusing to say whether he would back the Republican Party if donald trump becomes the nominee. Author has criticized Donald Trumps language. He is a leader confer questioning whether trump is really a christian his language, retrospect restriction and consent are consistent rhetoric and action is against the Christian Faith. Out of the abundance of the heart does a christian speak. None of us are aligned 100 to the faith, but to hold up the bible one day and make a fun of a reporters menstrual cycle and calm himself a christian and doesnt need forgiveness for anything, there sl a disconnect there. It causes me to raise questions and have concerns in the essay that you wrote which is called decency for president , you say your concern is not policy but tone and decorum. Why dont you point out how his policies are also potentially inchristlike, wanting to ban muslims entering the country and supporting torture . Everything begins with the heart. The language is heart monitor. The words that come out of a persons mouth are a heart monitor. So these other topics, the one you just mentioned, we could talk about half a dozen more, are all valid causes for concern, but christianity 101 says what you say because the Christian Faith is based upon the belief that were saved by the grace of god, by his goodness last may donald trump told cbn news i will be greatest representative of christians theyve had in a lopping time. How in a long time. How concerned are you when you hear donald trump say that . What does that mean for your church . It is not my job to police more trump. Its not. If he calls himself a secular candidate, if he were to present himself as a secular candidate, i would never have brought up anything. Honestly. But for him to say okay. Now, im a christian, and talk in a way that i would not want a six or 8 year old to hear, it causes me concern how do you explain an influential speaker endorse him . I disagree with him, all of my colleagues that would come out and support mr trump. The explanation ive heard is a pragmatic one. He may not have a christian tone or demeanour, but he gets things done. I just think character marries. I think character you cannot overcome a character issue. We have been concerned with past president s, all spoken of. I think its time to speak up before the election takes place is there a president ial candidate that you support right now that does reflect your christian values . Ive been impressed with ted cruz. I havent endorsed him. I just dont endorse ive stayed out of the practice of ten dorsing candidates. Mainly because i wouldnt want somebody not to come to my church because they were mad at me with all due respect, ted cruz does say he is a christian. Is ted cruz who called for carpet bombing syria, is that translated bombing innocent syrians, is he any more christian . Were struggling to find a good option here. I dont understand what he said. He has attempted to manage his demeanour and tone that is more respectful. To that degree i appreciate his efforts evangelical voters have helped to give donald trump the wins that he has seen. Do you think the churchs teachers are being drowned out today in an era of television . To get pulled into political banterrings, and im as guilty as anybody, we feel like i feel like theres a tendency to water our core message down he says he sent the blog post to Donald Trumps treatment. He has not received a response as for the democrats, they are gearing up for three contest that are taking tomorrow. 101 delegates up for grabs. Bernie sanders is hoping wins in any of those states are going to help narrow the gap with Hillary Clinton. A lot of voters saying that the economy is on their minds. Reporter july bow jets july bow jumbo jets, washington ships its products across the pacific and around the world. No states exports more on a per capita basis. That includes smaller exporters by this brewer. He ships to sweden, canada and is thirsting for more reporter youre still looking for more export markets . Yes. Absolutely. I like the idea of selling big containers of beer at a time instead of just one case here and there. Reporter like many exporters he benefits from the Export Import Bank. A money making federal agency that helps finance american exports we have expert Credit Insurance that helps us to secure payments from overseas partners reporter he and thousands of others were cut off last summer. Funding dried up when a congressional battle suspended the banks business. It was really difficult. We were face iing our creditorso we had brought Raw Materials for. We dont have it yet. Were working on that. It just didnt materialize. We didnt have to go to our partners and say can you pay us earlier which is an awkward conversation to have reporter Bernie Sanders was the lone voice closing the bank. Do you know what the other name of the Export Import Bank is called some washington . It is called the bank of bowe because boeing itself gets 40 of the money thats charged by the Exportimport Bank reporter it offers loans to International Buyers and sellers to support purchases. Foreign countries do this financing all the time for the products manufactured in those countries. We need to have the sam ability reporter one out of three drops derives from international trade, that is critical for the people of the Pacific Northwest it is a good thing. You have to remember boeing has in the northwest, 80,000 jobs. These are jobs that pay very well. Reporter Hillary Clinton supports the Exportimport Bank. She has been endorsed by the powerful boeking machinist unions where she spoke earlier this week here is washington it is the life black to make it possible to export reporter despite Bernie Sanderss opposition to the bank which finances so much trade, he is expected to be the v oishgs ctor victor in the caucuses. I think it is because we have a progressive world view. Everything is not tied necessary ly tied to economic issues. Reporter washing done democrats will weigh in on those issues saturday, trading among themself in caucuss to apportion the states delegates about 250 people have been forced from their homes in northwest minnesota. A train collided with a truck. It quickly burst into flames. Officials say the people forced out should be allowed back into their homes later today if youre one of those parts that saw snow yesterday, the bad news is you will see more today. Reporter could and not as much. There is a Little Silver lining there but more areas. We have another system out of the rockys similar in some of the who could see the snow, but it wont be as significant. This week has not been feeling like this for the first week of spring for a lot of folks. It could get higher amounts around here, around 6 inches. Denver, this time it would only be two to four inches instead of over a foot. Thats an improvement. Then you get from the dakotas, into minnesota, light amounts but more snow. Here is how all this progresses toward the easter holiday. That is the system that will continue to dip its way east. In the meantime the system thats on the east coast right now will start to lay up through the south and not move too far. As those two come together, a wider area of moisture t a lot of the third eastern portion of the country will have some chances for some sort of presip tapings. A little bit of that could be strong or Severe Weather in time for the holiday. Anywhere from mississipi up to kentucky. The Current System on the east coast, a lot of the coastline will be in the warm sector. 70 degrees as far as new york. Then by time the east coast cools more into normal territory. It is not anything cold, but a little bit of a cooling. You see that next system come into somewhere like denver down to 39 degrees and that would be the cold enough air to support thatter of snow. All week along the mys tour has been on and off. The moisture has been on and off a mixed back. Thank you there is a painter who has a special way of seeking justice for those who have been wrongfully convicted. She said it is her injustice exhibition and it is personal. Ive been painting for over 25 years. I love painting more than i love drawing. Reporter an along time artist, her paintings hang in game rees across the state. Her latest project is the most personal. I was thinking what can i do as a mother, as an artist to bring awareness to the situation reporter the walls of her small home studio are filled with the faces of prisoners, like this man, exxon rated after serving more than 25 years. Others are of men who insisted theyre wrongly convicted. One was her son i realized that there are people sitting in prison for crimes they didnt commit. All of the inmates that i paint, fames are fighting their cases. Reporter in 2000 this was a rising rap star touring with antecedent reportists like snoop dog. A fight broke out at one concert and a young man was shot and killed. Witnesses told police he was the shooter for him to outright and kill somebody, this man was his fan. Why would he kill a fan . Why would he shoot a fan. Heap wasnt involved in the fight reporter prosecutors havent commented on the case, but she was at the concert that night and she said she is certain her son is innocent he has never been in problem before so never been to jail for anything reporter she was shocked when he was convicted of manslaughter with no evidence linking him to the shooting, and despite another man coming forward confessing to the crime. Reporter there has been even more doubt kaflt on his conviction after several witnesses signed sworn affidavits admitting they were pressured by the District Attorneys Office to identify him as the shooter my son introduced him to him. He is spending time in the correctal center along with my son. Reporter still hopeful after 15 years that her sons conviction will be over turned, she continues meeting with other prisoners, researching their cases and showcasing her paintings in what she calls the injustice exhibition.

A study raises serious questions about the longterm effects of use of marijuana. Al jazeera correspondent has more. Reporter this is the dollar bill method. States are making longterm changes to marijuana laws without knowing the longterm effects of the drug. That is because the research hasnt been done. We know way less about marijuana than tobacco and alcohol. When a product is legal, it is in addition to being hard to study. People dont want to say theyre using it because its illegal. You cant get it very easily if you want to study it. We know far less than we should given how widely used it is reporter the difficulty is that while researchers have been able to look at alcohol use and its relationship to violence and rates of poverty in huge parts of the population, nobody has been able to do that with pot. A new study looks at marijuana use in people that have been tracked for their entire lives. This professor says the group known as the dunedin cohort is a special opportunity.

It is not being funded by the cuban government or the stones, but the 7 million is coming from an organization connected to the island. The concert has to be free because most cubans wouldnt be able to afford buying a ticket to a stones concert. They can easily cost 500, over a thousand dollars. Its expensive even in the u. S. , of course. The average cuban with a state wage makes 20 or 40 a month. Just thinking about that. So this really isnt a concert meant to make halve aborigine a regular stop on the global concert. It is symbolic and a way for one of the biggest rock groups ever to welcome cuba to a knew era. Translation it is significant for our country considering its the first time they are here. We grew up admiring them. Thats gay thing for our country considering we are willing to see the rim p relationship between the u. S. And cuba improving and at the same time it is good to start seeing International Acts coming into the country reporter youre probably asking, theyre british what do they have to do with the relations . It says something about the power of the u. S. Because when it decides to enact an embargo and prevent americans from visiting the island, it also discourages citizens from other countries to come here and do business here. So this concert is important because it really is connecting cuba with the rest of the world. Melissa chen a sweet night for the top seeds in the ncaa championship.
