beginning of world war i. and moving ondy spite the hoss, team u.s.a. looks to it's next world cup opponent. and we begin tonight with an indepth look at what is causing the exodus of children from mexico and central america to the united states. this year, more than 50,000 children have left their families and crossed the border into the u.s. the number of families torn amart is staggering. one report says 72,000 parents with american born children were deported last year. but why are so many people willing to rip apart their families just to try to get into the u.s.? some answers can be found in the country of honduras, and that's where paul is tonight, maul. >> . >> well, good evening john i am here in san pedro. this is the second largest city, it is also an industrial capitol and like honduras, and much of central america, it is a city wracked by corruption, violence, and the international drug trade, that is one of the biggest factors. where we pick up the story of a young man we have been following 15-year-old axle fernandez. >> in the stands of a neighborhood soccer field, in san pedro, alex fernandez told me how much he misses his little brother. >> we were always together, him and me. it was like that connection between two brothers. i try to take care of him, and i didn't think he had it in him to leave, now i am alone. he is allowed to join his father in houston, where he has been lived undocumented for a decade, his case is now in u.s. immigration court. >> back home, alex a college student, told me he studies hard and keeps his head down. but he said the bad guys had their eye on his popular and outgoing younger brother, afraid of being forced to join a gang, he decided to heave. alex was getting to the age where they would have problems with therein wednesday and gangs. >> san pedro is often called the murder capitol of the world, ground zero for gang battles. it is the deadliest city on earth, in a country not formally at war. >> we were told that without a military eggs court, we would either be killed or kidnapped immediately if we went anywhere near alex and axle's home, it is in a part of town competely in the grip of the gangs. >> this is a typical neighborhood outside of san pedro, this is the time of place where ax and his brothers and sisters grew up. we won't take you to that neighborhood, because being here with police protection would draw attention, and that's what they are very concerned about. >> all of these businesses pay for extortion money, it's the kind of mace where you are in with the gangs or out, and axle decided to get out. many who don't get out, end uhm in a place like this, juvenile prison. most of these kids are gang members. prison social worker carlos says they face a grim future. >> carlos, what kind of options do kids this age have? is it the gangs or head north? >> the sad reality is the day they age out and step out of the door, they are going to find the same situation that put them here in the first place. >> thousand a grenade in here. >> and inside the just as dangerous a few weeks ago, five kids were killed here in a gang clash. in a town square, dora agreed to meet me, but even here she was weary of being overheard about the gangs and her sons. >> i have to be very cautious to say what i'm about to say. there are some things you are not supposed to say here. you join or you can killed, boys 12, 15, had to leave. leaving seems to be the only solution. >> ax salt lake in the u.s. now, but he may have to come home, he may be deported. what's going to happen to him if he has to come home. >> if he ended up back here and didn't go back to the states quickly, they would kill him, that is what would happen. >> quell, john we have spoken to axel and his father, and axle is planning to go to school in the fall, he knows his case is going to be working its way through immigration courts in the meantime, he is just frying to start up something resembling a normal life, and you can see the emotion, his brother and mother both saying they are not sure when they will see him again, and both saying that if he tries to come home, they will tell him not to, to stay in the u.s. >> we fry to understand this, you talk about the gang as lot, what about the drug cartels and the impact they have on the exodus of children from central and south america? >> well, the drug tar kehls and the gangs have taken over the coyote business. it's become a very lucrative sideline to drug trafficking and part of what is going on, they may be fueling these rumors that parents traveling with children and unaccompanied children, would get some kind of permit if they arrive in the u.s., trying to really drive up the numbers of people, but really the underlying causes remain the same, poverty, chronic violence, chronic crime, and people just looking for a better opportunity. but we will look more closely at this rumor mill, coming up tomorrow in our second report, here from honduras. >> all right. you talked a little bit about this, but is there one reason why many people think coming to america is just the best answer? >> john, these underlying reasons here in central america, and other parts oif same remain the same. s that see america as the land of opportunity. so many people here that just want better opportunities for themselves for their children. a chance at a brighter future, they don't see things changing here. they don't see their governments ending corruption, getting out from under the influence of these trance national drug groups or gangs that have origins in the u.s., just looking for a shot at a better life and willing risk to the journey to get it. >> paul reporting from honduras tonight, thank you. >> a warning tonight from the u.s. to iraq's leaders either come up with an inclusive government that gives more groups more say, or the rebels will rip that country apart. syrian planes bomb inside the border today, and iran has used surveillance drones over other areas. iran is also moving members of guard into iraq. but secretary of state john kerry said today, those other nations should stay out. he warns iraq's internal crisis could become a regional war. knew the sunni fighters have already taken plenty of territory. and south to the edge of baghdad. people inside the capital are nervous as the fighting gets closer, they are also worried about sectarian tension, as jane reports. >> around baghdad, there's a looming threat. but in the city it is almost an ordinary evening. fewer visitors at the biggest shrine, but it is full of iraqis. here it is always part religious fervor, part celebration. and these day as call to arms. a rallying call, where is i.s.i.l., they are nothing. >> the ruling means if 10,000 people will be killed we will send 20,000, if 100,000 are killed we will send 1 million. >> from a shia minority, he thought his family was safe, but then kurdish forces protected the village got drawn into the fight. even ourselves. now, that the man or the young people, they think the villages -- they depend on the families, they want to build. a lot of families here would have nowhere to go. >> the army bases they are all of strategic importance, but the prize in this battle is baghdad. and nowhere more so than here. it is one of the hollywoodiest sites in the world. people are willing to fight and die for it. >> the many lish sha loyal that fought u.s. soldiers in 2004. we are passing through this current situation because of the betrayal of commanders, what is happening to our country, made us realize we are capable of handling the responsibility and responding with strength. this is normally crowded with people leaving for jordan, say it is now much more difficult to leave the country. the traffic has almost stopped. >> there's been a flood of iraqis since 2003. but this time, with threats both outside and inside the city, there are fewer and fewer places left to go. >> and john, in that neighborhood 12 people were killed today when a car bomb exploded. all sorts of things going on, car bombs inside, you can see why people here are so unsettled. >> so a lot of home pinned on a more inclusive government, we talked about that, iraq's parliament is going to meet to talk about it, but what's the real likelihood that there would be a more inclusive government, and why is now different than the last ten years. >> well, it's a great question, i guess the stakes are higher now for one thing. all the pain, this is the first time they are seeing the very disintegration of their country. right now this is get your act together, come up with a government, get the iraqi army back, or lose this country. the choices that start. now having said that, it is not as if a government is going to change a lot, this is a battle that isn't just a military battle, but it does pretty much have to be one in inc.s on the ground. what the political side will do is stabilize it, sure up a stake shaky foundation. for this unique democracy,. >> there is a been so much talk about oil, and even the beginning of the war, that the isle eventually would help iraq survival, so what impact is that having now? this fight having on the iraqi economy, and the possibility of getting money from oil? that's the thing about this country, it is on paper on the surface, an incredibly rich country. that money isn't trickling down. that's part of the reason why groups like i.s.i.l. have been able to flourish. the heart of the oil district, people are incredibly poor, there's no clean water, there's sewage running through the streets and the fact that the security is so bard is par of the reason there's so little money left in the budget for public services. not to mention corruption. we do have the mention corruption, since it is rampant. the security, the overtime for soldiers, it is all having a huge impact, bottom line is a lot of oil revenue, but it isn't doing people here a lot of good. >> reporting once again from baghdad, thank you very much. now former navy seal served in baghdad, and he is with us tonight. robert, welcome. thank you, john. >> i just want to continue the theme of oil for one second. it isn't all about oil, but how important is it for the united states to help iraq get control of oil fields? briefly on that, we have better reserves ourselves. so it isn't the only source for us, but i'm no authority on this, but certainly it is a big deal, and i think the more important oil question is on who owns it. the previous commenter about the struggle within iraq, and how the poverty is so severe. in my opinion, he was misusing aid for families and sick kids. we have the same thing now, where the kurdss have a lot of the oil, and is tunney thea are struggling. >> maybe let me try again, what i was suggesting is how can these military advisers that the people of the united states in the armed forces that the u.s. is going to send in, is that going to be part of this trying to secure the oil? is. >> n. a three way theme right now, which i think has a lot of responsibility for that, letting it fragment or causing the fragmentation. which is why they are allowed to flow through the country, they need to control whatever resources to do the rebuilding if it can be stabilized. >> whatsoever strategy will advisors try to implement, in order to help the government gain control? >> they have to coordinate the -- as you heard -- if the shiite come up from the south with a brand new brigade, ready to resist, in general, it is going to be a massive friction and huge casualties in the middle. they are been facilitated in their entry to iraq, because of the mistreatment of the sunni. so what i would be advising is dual factor. you mentioned just one of the shiite growns and if my memory serves me correctly, wasn't the united states fighting some of these grounds during the war not so long ago? and now which side are we on? >> yeah, i was this. >> the funny thing is we talk about the allies and these -- right now, we have an issue, we will talk about syria, of course, syrian regime forces are hitting isis. iranians are working against isis. and america is working against isis, it is a very strange situation. >> he was one of the folks that this country decried as one of the worth groups -- worst people in iraq, and now it seems that the united states is the united states siding with him and his group. >> no, i wouldn't say that. i think he is rolling independent right now. but to replay it back to where i was in iraq, i was advising we work with with them at that point. although they have and the army has been identified as being so negative to our interest. and they were when they are toe-to-toe with us. not to be friends boothose to be cooperative. >> i get you, but it does point out the complicated nature of this situation. who will talk about that a little bit more, president obama is making his biggest move yet to deal with the conflict, now in syria. and he has asked congress to approve $500 million to train and equip syrian opposition fighters. more on that from washington. describes this requested aid as ramping up assistance. they are asking for $500 million to the military and train and equip opposition fighters is it really a ramping up? we don't really know, we do know the c.i.a. has been doing it's own training but they don't have to tell us how much they have spent to do that. but again, the president has to get permission, from congress, he will fry to do in the coming weeks. >> so robert, let me see if i can get this straight, $500 million, to the syrian p osix, and if i understand that correctly, the opposition is the part -- is at least partly as a group that's going into iraq fighting iraq, again, which side is the united states on? is our ally, but defactor alleys. >> are syria and iron. with again, four years ago i was advising we need to get in there ourselves and get people on the ground, to at least be available and on serving what is goings on. in that vacuum of american presence, the extremist were able to flow in and become legitimized. >> right, but because there are so many sides how can the united states be sure that $500 million of taxpayer money in this country, is going to be in the right hands? >> with presence. there's no other way. we can't just fork over money, we have learned that at the much smaller level of villages. you don't hand over $1 million which has been done many times before. >> when you say presence -- >> you have to have people on the ground involved. >> that sounds -- to some people they may sound trouble some. iraq and then syria. how involved does it need to be on the ground? >> that's a great question. and it is a ratio, in my opinion, there must be some presence, we can't hand over $1 million hope it works out fine. we need to have some presence, some people lightening me out there, working with them, having some protection at a reasonable level, and working with the most effectively vetted individuals that we can trust as much as we can, and have eyes on the money and the training and presence again to at least counter act the extremist volume that they can flow into. we have to have some engangment. was just mentioned cia has been doing some work with them, that was with too little too late. we don't haven't to wait for a crisis on our hands and the shiites have become the monstrous regime. important decisions and important that the united states taxpayers american people know exactly where their money is going. we hope to have more discussions on this again, robert, always good to see you, thank you. >> my pleasure. i don't have any control of e over that. >> roger. >> no control, but we'll see. maybe you will get a call. israel may be making progress in the search for three missing israeli teenagers. authorities have identified two suspects. the men are said to be hamas operative who live where the boys disappeared. palestinian officials say a man hunt is now underway. this follows an intense search, who went missing two weeks ago, their disappearance, prompted the authorities to launch a massive sweep of the west bank, to round up nearly 400 palestinians mostly hamas activists. speaking to congress, he urges the u.s. to continue working with israel, eradicate violence, and eliminate poverty. the 90-year-old will leave office next month, the congressional award is one of the highest honors in the united states. coming up, limiting presidential power, what the street had to say about president obama's appointments. and buzz kill, why tax revenue from legalized marijuana may not add up to what pot smokers -- supporters had predicted. around abortion clinks is unconstitutional. abortion providers protected their patients and employees. the massachusets law was passed after several acts of violence at the clinics including the 1994 shooting that killed two staff workers. the high court handed down another unanimous ruling on presidential power, the case involved appointments president obama made when the senate was with not in session. john, it is a tool enshrined in the constitution. now of course members come back and forth, on a regular weekly basis, but still, in the modern era presidents both republicans and democrats have used the recess appointment. well, on thursday, the street sharply restricted president's ability to use that power, as a means to get around partisan grid lock. the senate will come to order. also the party that doesn't hold the white house can say they are working and box the president from making recess apoisements. this lasted exactly 29 seconds. >> president obama ignored those sessions and blocks by republicans he made several recess appointments including to the national labor relations board. when a decision by the board went against a soft drink company, the company went to court, disputing the rules because it was made by recess appointments. the supreme unanimously agreed. because the senate was in session during it's proform ma sessions the president made the recess appointments during a break too short to count as recess. concluding that and for that reason, the appointments are invade id. the street rejected the president's completely unprecedented assertion, of a unilateral appointment power. >> none of it matter whose last year changed the rules to allow confirmation of nominees by a simple majority of 50, instead of a filibuster 60 votes. their leader writing more than anything, underscores the importance of the rules reforms. >> of course, the recess is still written into the constitution, and today the supreme court noted that recess appointments can still go forward if the senate is truly in recess. >> mike, thank you, coming up ukraine ultimatum, the latest promise if pro russian rebels don't lay down their weapons. and they lived to play another day, our reporter at the world cup on what is next for team u.s.a. america, coming up, drone strikes new questions about with they are actually making the u.s. safer. lower expectations, why the legal sale of marijuana isn't bringing in the tax dollars colorado expected. >> and testing the new technology that allowed cars to talk to each other. now to ukraine separatists, have agrees to more peace talks to try to end the fighting in eastern ukraine. tomorrow afternoon, the week long cease fire between government troops and pro russian rebels is expected expire, and the president has hint there had will be no extension, unless russia shows more support. secretary state john kerry also stepping up pressure on pro russian separate itselfs. she joins us now, kimberly welcome. >> hi. >> where do you see the situation now? we have the cease fire, there was hope, that if this cease fire expired is the hope gone with the wind? it's a very uncertain situation, and it is uncertain for so many reasons. one is that it is not clear what president putin has in mind. what it is that he wants to do next. but also we have to keep in mind, they are really war lords. they are individual whose are not under the control of putin, he could influence them. he is certainly sending them arments and allowing people to go over the board tore join them. volunteers and mercenaries are going over into ukraine. and he can do a lot more to control that border. >> how much weaponry and man power are we talking about. >> it's hard to know. there was this statement earlier this week, that there were three tanks that appeared to have come over from russian territory, there have been a couple of instances of shooting down of helicopters and airplanes, and the defense is -- it is very difficult to know exactly what is happening because each side has an incentive to not tell the whole truth, but it appears that it was pretty advanced missles. >> so the cease fire failed? is. >> ceil fires always slip around the edges it is unusual you would have a cease fire that lasts the whole question is anything going to happen within the next few hours. when positive sign is that four of the. s.c. monitors that had gone in to be looking over the situation for the international community, a couple of weeks ago, who have been kidnapped four were re'sed and four are being held. it hasn't been that world, since the world imposed sanctions are they have any eimpact. >> the ones that had the most effect, are the ones that showed how much control united states has over technology. so the real wakeup call is when russia tried to send a payment from one state to the other, is because it had to go through a network that was controlled by the quite, there was a huge dehay. >> so they can get around it. >> they can get around it, but it was art sort after a message that the united states has more impocket than people had been expecting and the thing to keep in mind, is the biggest effect is that it is made western investors and international investors reluctant to put more money in, because they don't know if they are making a decision. >> let's talk about ukraine, what sort of grade would you give the new ukrainian president? [it's incredible that he has been able to do as much as he has. he is working with very few resources. we know from looking over the situation in the past couple of months that the ukrainian military is not as strong as we had hoped. it is filled with people who are not well trained. who are not well disciplined in some cases there may be people who have sympathized with the russian side. and so it's amazing that he has managed to have as in as he has, it's been disturbing there have been as many civilian deaths as there has been. that's another indication that the forces are not well trained. but he is a survivor. he has had a role with so many different kinds of political leaders. as a minister of one kind or another, he has businesses in russia, and so he is somebody who knows how to negotiate, who knows how to get things accomplished through reaching agreements with people, so he is probably the best hope we have. >> all right, good to see you, thank you very much. >> good to see you. >> in other news, one win, one loss, one tie, that record is good enough to send the u.s. to the next round of the world cup. team u.s.a. did what many people thought was not possible, survive the so called group of death. a lot of people in this country, were jumping on the soccer bandwagon. and watched t.v. at parties all across the country, large crowds showed up at parks and bars this morning in places like kansas city, washington, chicago, and of course new york where i read that robert din anywhere row was watching at someone's house. interrupted the shooting of his movie to watch the soccer game. let's get more now from lee wellings who joins us now from rio. lee, loss turns into the win for the united states. tell us how they escaped the group of death? one reasons is called that is because we are winners. who are ranked 13 in the world, and have every chance of getting think this group, and that's what they have done. 29 seconds it took for clint dempsey to score the first goal. yes, they lost against germany, if you look at how strong germany is, and the defense to say that the united states, but if you see why they have reached the last 16. two of the teams in the group, just didn't really turn up, and that was another way that the u.s.a. could get through. >> so what happens next. >> well, it is a difficult game. it is against belgium on tuesday, a hot of people tipping belgium, over hahs few years they have a couple of excellent players. what i have been saying about belgium, is yes, they won their group games but have they got the strength of their first team to go right for the end of this tournament, with so many strong teams from south america. they beat the u.s.a. very convincingly, in cleveland, last year, but then again, you can never write off the potential they have to impose themselves and keep making progress. >> let me move on to another big story, it is the biting story, a huge suspension today for uruguay star player. for biting and you can see it on the video. pretty clearly, what does it mean? >> well, their chances now are all but disappearing because swarez and totally -- columbia here in rio on saturday, but of course the your guyians and the people of uruguay, they are defending. they feel that he hasn't done anything wrong, where the rest of the globe is saying look at the pictures that's the third time he has bitten someone, and a lot of praise for once for fifa for acting the way he did. and the punishment, it is tough. and one that people feel that swarez deserves. >> continues to keep us up to date from brazil, thank you very much, high. >> in washington, a new warning that america's use of armed drones could heed to a perpetual state of war. it comes in a report from a year long study involving military intelligence and foreign policy experts. the report from the global security think tank, questions whether the drone strikes are truly reducing terrorism. and making the u.s. safer. the existence create as temptation to use that wac a mole attempt. where you fuel this fantasy that you can just kill your way out of a very complex problem. one bat guy add a time. for groups that want to athing the u.s. >> even if they are a bad guy, they have friends and family members, they have neighbors, they have people who will be upset if you do kill any civilians all the more so. >> another key concern outlined in the report, the secrecy surrounding the program, making it difficult for not impossible to judge if the strikes are legal, under u.s. and international law. the report says the united states should not conduct a long term killing program based on secret rationals. >> we don't say how many strikes we carry out, we don't say who they are against for the most part. we with don't say the location, until recently, they have said they can't confirm or deny. so you have what amounts to a 13 long secret war. which has killed an estimated three to 4,000 people. >> the obama administration has been grappling with tissues raised in this report, the president in a speech last year, and one just last month, promised new guidance for the drone strikes and more transparency in the program. >> i also believe we must be more transparent about both the basis of our counter terrorism actions and the manner in which they were carried out. >> in a statement, a white house spokesman said the administration would review the new report, but pointed out the president had repeatedly emphasized the extraordinary care, taken to ensure counter terrorism actions meet all laws and are consistent with u.s. values and policies. the while house says it is confident it can be more open, and still retain the ability to continue the drone strikes. >> the reports authors are also worries that the u.s. may be setting a dangerous precedent. what if russia, for example, they say decided to use drone strikes in the ukraine, against individuals that russia claimed were terrorists. the authors asked could the u.s. really condemn those killings?
