>> we know freddie gray died a week after being arrested by the police, but now how and why. many are dend maaing answers p their pleas have led to protests mostly peaceful, like the ones we are seeing tonight. law enforcement has turned it's investigation over to the prosecutor's office, but not before offering a new report on what may have happened. john is in baltimore tonight john. >> that's right john, good evening from baltimore every night in this city at the moment there is a large rally of some sort, that ends up somewhere seeking justice for freddie gray. tonight was no exception. they ended up here in war memorial plaza. which is the scene of last saturday's rally. and there will be another rally here last saturday as well. the rains came, and the rains were very very hard, and now the crowd has thinned out and now the people behind me, is all the crowd that is left. now, the police gave a news conference within the last couple of hours. they say they intend to impose the curfew tonight and over the weekend as well. earlier today we were forced to rethink the way we are thinking about what happened to freddie gray after the police handed over their interim report. they also had a very significant revelation as well. take a look. >> and at 8:50 this morning our task force charged with investigating the tragic death of mr. freddie gray. turned over the contents of that investigation to the state attorney's office. >> a surprised statement his department interim report, into the death of freddie gray handed to maryland state pros it cooer four hours earlier than expected. >> we have exhausted every lead at this point in time. this does not mean that the investigation is over. he acknowledged receiving the report saying in a written statement the as a result of the investigation is not new to us, we have been briefed regularly throughout the process, while simultaneously conducting our own independent investigation. into the death of freddie gray. now, she must decide whether or not to bring charges against the six officers involved in freddie gray's arrest. no word on when that might happen. >> now is our time for unity and to work together. >> they made a stop that was previously undisclosed and captured oen a private camera. >> the second stop has been revealed to us during the course of our investigation and was previously unknown to us. we discovered this new stop based on our thorough and comprehensive and on going review of all c.c.t.v. cameras and privately owned cameras. >> news of the second stop means the wagon halted it's journey four times in all with freddie gray inside, one more than reported. it raises questions about why the investigation team only discovered the extra stop through c.c. t.v., rather than from the six officers involved. five of whom have given depositions. dwight petit has sued scores of baltimore police officers in a 40 year career, he says there's a systemic problem within the city's force when it comes to the poor treatment of detainees. >> it's almost like a blue badge of courage to move up in the department. >> petit says cell phone and closed circuit cameras are eyeing to me who tended to believe that police could do no wrong. he says in baltimore, it is well known if you run for the police, you will be beaten and if you give too much trouble you will be taken for a rough ride. >> and those wagons there is nothing to hand on to, especially if you are handcuffed. you are going to be tossed around inside the wagon which can cause severe permanent injury. >> and two footnotes al jazeera has shown documentation showing what freddie yea was charged with when he was arrested it was possession of a knife, a charge that would carry a $500 fine or one year in prison. and one other thing the national guard have said in news conference in the past couple of hours they have no intention of disappearing. they will pull out only when it is safe to do so. >> so it is quiet tonight but look at these pictures from philadelphia, much more tense, the confrontation between philadelphia police, in center city, and a number of protestors there's a lot of pushing and shoving. a large crowd has gathers there, so far not much more than pushing and shoving we will watch this picture and bring you more as we get it. a freelance journalist who was arrested while taking photographs and he wasn't released from jail until yesterday afternoon welcome first of all you have a bruise on your head, you were hit by what a rubber bullet. >> that's right. i was head by a projectile fired by police, as they were disbursing rioters from the area in baltimore on monday around 4:00, and hit directly in the forehead by an officer, who really i was the only photographer there taking photos, and no one else around me, no protestors around me, just aimed at me, and hit me right in the head. >> he hit you in the head, and then you were arrested. >> i was arrested, even -- i tried to show my press credentials to the officers and they said you are under arrest and going in to be booked and i was transported in a wagon similar to the one freddie gray was in, and that wagon had a camera in it. i was seat belted i was taken to the baltimore city central booking and held for a total of 49 hours. despite several requests that fell on deaf ears to speak to a lawyer, to be informed of what charges were being brought against me, and it was a tough 49 hours. >> so you didn't know what charges there were no carling that you were told about you are kept in jail for 49 hours what was that like. >> baltimore city jail is really bad conditions. it was very packed that night, and people kept on streaming in, i was nine people in a cell at 1 point. it's really -- there's no place to sleep there's just maybe a 15-inch concrete bench to slope on, if you are lucky, if you aren't lucky then you get the floor. there's very little food. just -- a few slices of bread and key, same thing every maybe three times a day that you are fed. you are kept in a cell, and not told anything. there were no lawyer we were never -- i was never told what charges were being brought against me. although there were others that were brought in with. >> thatsthey were let out before myself and these three other people were never informed of what charges and never allowed to speak to a lawyer. and really not given any recourse to our institutional rights. >> so shawn, do you think you were targeted because you are a journalist. >> i have since -- sense a feeling among the police that the media are sort of giving them a bad image and just from comments i have heard from officers they don't really think highly of journalists. however the officer arrested me said i don't know why they told me to arrest him, he is a reporter. be uh a captain said i was to be arrested at the time, there wasn't any rye t yoking going on, it was a calm moment, i was just trying to get a few shots of the police line but they still asked me -- still had me arrested regardless of being a reporter. >> thank you for sharing your story, we appreciate it. away from the spotlight street violence maz claimed the lives of all too many young black men baltimore has had one of the worst homicide rates for decade. and kimings are up 25 percent just this year. dell walters is in baltimore where that story dell. >> john, according to the baltimore sun baltimore has the fifth highest homicide rate in the united states, 239 people dying in 2013 alone. one in ten residents here is addicted to heroin, black families make less money black men die young, black men fill the jails and prisons. this is a story where those numbers come face to face with reality. i had to hold my hand and walk down the hall, and see my child lay on the table in february wife, she lost her son to violence, he was gunned down in a drug related robbery. i couldn't understand the grief, i couldn't understand my loss. >> this is a photo of her other son standing next to his brother, in may just two months later on mother's day he too was dead he had heart problems his mother says he died from a broken heart so your son's heart couldn't dare it. >> he couldn't take it, nope. it was too much. >> her third son died weeks later, he was stabbed to death. i was saying not again not again, so the doctors assumed i was losing my mind, they said what are you talking about you just lost your son not again i said my son another one of my child. my child is gone. >> a mother's tears highlight as city's grief, to the outside word, these protests happen in west baltimore and reality it is a problem that knows no borders. my heartaches for her. >> a mother's cry, she works in healthcare and is tired of seeing more losses than gains. >> this is just such an epidemic bring them tot. >> an epodic, it is that bad. >> it is that bad in every city our children are losing their lives. charles is also in mourning mourning the loss of two of his sons both of them gunned down people a they you separate the drugs guns and violence what do you say. >> there is no separation. if you are involved in drugs there's no safe place to be but there is more to the story than just tears the story of burnett, is also the story of a mother, trying to win no matter what the odds. she was ones homeless, at the time of their deaths all three of the sons were in school or headed there. although had dreams. >> the day he dies he got accepted to college. >> she also says it would be wrong to assign grief, these are the white faces of the friends that raised money to bury her son. >> it doesn't matter what race you are. no matter what color you are you are born in this life, you are a human being. >> that's why these images of freddie gray was broadcast she was among the mothers marching to protest his death freddie gray to her is somebody's son. >> i reacted to freddie gray was like that's my baby, that's my child. >> you felt that mush of a connection. >> i said that's my child. >> and when she saw this mother trying to keep her son safe, she was right there swinging along with her. >> yes, i am the mom that would have went out there and popped him aside his head. >> so you can see john, it is impossible to separate the guns and the drugs from the violence, there is a recent poll conducted they asked residents what they feared most what their number one concern was, and they said their number one concern was violence. and they asked what their number one fear was and they said drug related violence. as you can see everyone is dealing with it some way this seems like a toen part of town a forgotten city, and it is in part the immediate yeahs responsibility to make sure these stories are told, how is it that this story doesn't get told in so many cities. >> john if you were to ask the residents here, they would say it is race. if you were to ask burnett she would say it is because it is so big and going on for so so long, that so many people want to sweep it under the rug, because it is hard to solve thank you very much, we will talk to you later. interrupted business as usual in baltimore, america tonight has been talking to etch tooers community activists and eelectricitied officials looking for the root causes of that current unrest. >> in the days after riots put the city in a choke hold, a relative calm has returned but the people of baltimore are left not only with the damaged city, but a negative image of their youth many here feel is fair nor accurate. >> . >> tyree morehead is a community activist who works as an unofficial game mediator he himself served 11 years for second degree murder. >> there's a seven day truce in the hoods of baltimore. that count the neighborhoods have agreed that there's enough black on black crime enough white on white crime there's enough crime in our neighborhoods period, right now. we are going to start -- we are wishing to see a seven week or seven year truce we will start with seven days. and they haven't even reported that. baltimore high schoolteacher says there's another story not being heard what her students battle daily. >> when students are accused of being tardy or anything like that, you also have to think about the fact that they -- some of them will raising their brothers and sisters. some of them are living without parent as lot of them are in different foster homes i have plenty of students that are homeless. >> she was taken two students home the day the city erupted. >> our car was stopped because this cop had shut down all the traffic. luckily, our lane was moving but it took us 30 minutes to turn a corner. and then as we turned the corner we saw cops that were marching in big lines like linked up arm and arm, they were wearing full riot gear. they had their baen toes i was not scared of anything else until i saw the p cos. >> but it is the talk that seems to demonize the young. >> they thought it was cute to throw cinder blocks a t the police department and to address it that way. >> for it to be destroyed, by thugs, who in a very senseless way. >> although the mayor later apologized megan says the damage was already done. i learn a lot from my students and i want them to feel like they are values within our city. >> sara hoy, al jazeera. >> you can see more of her report at 10:00 o'clock eastern time. ire talk where former massachusets congressman this week, and he says when it comes to places like baltimore, the solutions will come at the voting booth not in the streets. he is calling on congress to create more economic opportunities for working class americans. >> the violence and the demonstrations go often and generally, yes demonstrations one set of marchs to show you are unhappy is a good thing but here is the question i would ask, how many people out there demonstrating voted in the off year election in 2014? and voting is a infinitely more important way. >> you have an african-american administration in baltimore. >> you do. >> why isn't that african american administration responsive to -- >> i think they are responsive part of the problem is that the debts of the racism in america starting with the first time white people kale here in the 1600s we have done a great deal, it is a lot better, but it is still not totally eradicated and it is at it's most pronounced in the police area. and there is still this fear of angering police officers. but i -- the other thing is this and this is about voting there's only so much the mayor can do, the mayor can be responsive of city services but part of this problem is the economic deprivation. congress can do something about that. the president can do something about that part of the problem is it's not just black people, it is white people the economy has changed so that if you do not have failly high developed high end skills you aren't as well off as you would have been 30 years ago. the average working person it is harder to find something. what we need are national policies that deal with that. so mayors they can deal with overt racism, they can't deal with the undying economic issues. and i will willing to bet most of those people didn't vote. >> it's great to see you. >> thank you. >> appreciate it. >> let's talk about politics now, u.s. senator announced he is running for president today. the veer important lawmaker becomes the first candidate to enter the race, but he plans to run as a democrat, he started his career in the house 24 years ago a major part of his platform, finance reform. >> i seriously want them, and it isn't just bernie, i want them now whether it is possible for any candidate who is not a billionaire or who is not beholden to the billionaire glass to be able to run successful campaigns. and if that is the case i want you to recognize what a sad state of affairs that is. >> the 73-year-old senator calls himself a democratic socialist. coming up next, signs of life, two people are rescued from the rubble five days after nepal's devastating earthquake plus. >> at 20th street elementary school some parents say 60% of the students here can't read at grade level and they are fed one the failing schools. so they have enoctoberred a plan to take it over. i will tell you how coming up. in nepal the toll from saturday's earthquake continues to rise, the numbers are staggering, more than 5,500 dead, and another 10,000 injured, 8 million people effected. the devastation is immense so are the relief efforts but as andrew simmons reports help is barely reaching rural parts of that one. the mountain roads would normally take you to one of the most scenic places on earth, now the journey shows you misery, dispair. and for some of those that survived this is what remains of their lives. this hasn't one home left standing people are in a forlonged state, no one is here to help them officials say around 1600 people have died in this region, unofficial estimates put the figure at beyond 5,000, two more deaths are reporting here after a search that's lasted three days. the bodies of a woman and her baby lying tot are recovered. deep zero the region the needs get even greater some aid is getting through but it is a drip feed, aid workers say the region has been neglected the need is huge, initially there was lack of proper communication in the sense, if you see the data for the first three days the number of dead people was around 200 to 220 steadily on day three the number of deaths rose up to 650 this is the town there's no power anywhere no sanitation, and very few tents. it is a town that the devastated and the humanitarian needs are close sol. the few search and rescue worker whose have reached this place say it's dangerous to be in the town itself because the buildings ink tact are unsafe. >> this man lost his wife in the quake. he is left trying to make do in a school. attempting to look after his baby son and little girl. who has an eye injury that needs more attention. >> the government has not provided relief. it is raining and it is wet the tremors continue and we are having to take shutner the school. the wear is making things worse, normally this would be the dry season, but there's heavy rain, aside from w quashing out already overcrowded shelters it causes landslides. more fear that people with after shocks making the landslides more frequent they want to know when the suffering will end. no one has an answer. andrew simmons, al jazeera nepal. >> even with all the destruction, there are glimmers of hope, a teenager boy trapped under the rubble for five days was rescued today. the people that helped save him, speak out in tonight's first person report. >> he is entrapped by a piece of roofing material that's on him. he has space and he is free enough, he doesn't have any wait on him. >> i took my helmet outside and held it close to me, and i just called slowly, i called to him and made it close to him. when it made it towards him i saw his face. >> it was really -- when i talked to him i asked his name, and then he gets softer and i told him that we already rescuers, and just to stay and be calm we will rest you you within a few minutes. >> the first time ever we have received a life person, after 144 hours. that a live person has been secured. >> it was quite well. surprisedly he was quite well. very communicated, talked to us and being five days without food, and without water, it was amazing the way he was survived. >> it is a miracle, and it is an amazing thing to see in the midst of this to see a case like this. >> elsewhere a 23-year-old woman was found alive the chances of finding any more survivors are fazing quickly coming up next, while school administrators in atlanta are getting their sentences reduced. coming up, i will take you deep into the rain forest where carbon trending is a tough sell. hi, everyone, this is al jazeera america. judgement day for some of the teachers convicted in georgia's cheating scandal as they face the judge again. living tree, we take you to panama for the radical new approach to safing the rain forest. plus. the last days, on the 40th anniversary film maker rory kenky brings us her documentary on the end of the vietnam war. for the third night in a row it is relatively calm in baltimore, that's so far but the protests continue in the wake of the death of freddie gray, the city's police commissioner announced today the curfew will remain in effect for the time being despite pleas from the business community to lift those time limits. while the violence has subsided there is still much aingeer and demand for answers to what happened to gray. the youth commissioner and joins us tonight from baltimore, deshon, welcome it is good to have you on the perhap tell me what the city is doing right now to try to help the youth of baltimore. >> well, right now as we are speaking you have youth leaders throughout the city of baltimore who are now leaving in city hall. we are strategizing trying to figure out our next step, trying to bring unity back those pictures of young people throws bottles at police when the violence broke out are etched in the minds of a lot of americans. what do you do to address those children, and try to do something to stop the violence, stop the looting and turn those kids around? you know, first of all the young people aren't thugged and they aren't what we have called them in the beginning what we have to do is basically show them love, and let them know somebody cares. so many young people feel they are not being valued and they don't have a life in the city. so as the bat moore city youth commission, we have to stand up and let the voice is not being unheard and we are working swiftly to bring justice back to the city but also bring unity back. >> some suggest these young people need some tough love, like the love we saw of a mother who got very upset with her son who had been throwing rocks out in the street what do you think of that. >> you know, i respect the mom for doing that, a lot of our young people do that, but then we also have to understand a lot of our young people don't have a mother figure they don't have a father figure. a lot of our young friends are still babies themselves, you know they say it take as village, it talks a village to bring our young people back you know it take as cities coming back in unity. >> has this curfew worked. >> definitely curfew has completely worked i believe i am not mistaken, there may have been only ten adults arrested and maybe three young people but it has completely worked. >> are you worried once the full report comes out that the city can blow up again. >> well, i am kind of worried that's why tomorrow, youth leaders throughout the city will be coming together to do a press conference addressing the young people, to not do violence in the city, a lot of young people are expecting a verdict and we may not receive that, letting them know that violence isn't the answer. >> good luck, it is good to see you tonight, thank you very much. >> a judge in rat lan da has resentenced three former school administrators convicted in a conspiracy to inflate scores on tests. we have robert ray to tell us more this has been going on since 2009, and the judge decided he would have a change of heart and mind, lowers the sentencing today. >> i am not comfortable with it. >> saying he wanted no regrets after retirement, superior court judge did what a judge rarely does, he drastically reduced sentences he imposed just two weeks ago. tone years to serve 30 with the ball lance probated 2,000 hours of community service $10,000 fine. the three former school administrators had been convicted of racketeering charges in their roles of a widespreading scandal each had originally received seven year sentence. the longest of any of the defendants the judge cut those down to three years. michael pits was one of the educators resentenced. >> where are you surprised there was a resentencing without an appeal. >> i think it is the purview of the judge to make that decision. be frank, i have been surprised about everything. >> and that's why you didn't take a plea deal. >> i don't like the way this is going let's go. >> attorney jerrald greg she pleaded guilty and received a two year prison sentence. gregs says community leaders and petitions put pressure on the judge to reduce the sentencing. >> these people are going to prison for racketeering charges. usually used for. >> gangsters and mobsters. >> yes. >> do we have a problem here. >> we have a serious problem when you sentence educators a as if they are gangsters. and this was about erasing bubbles on a bilobal sheet. this is atlanta georgia, this is not the worst thing that has ever happened here. not even in the worst thing in this courthouse. the sentences should have been reflective of who occurred and that's allowing these individuals to go back and remediate not to be incarcerated. rigs client plans to appeal, as does convicted administrator. >> being criminally charged for something i didn't do has been overwhelming. >> there's a lot more to this tragedy than the cheating. i mean the poverty, and a lot of these neighborhoods these children are born in these conditions and they need to have all the help they can to get out there. >> the appeal pros recess could take another two years. while atlanta schools tries to undo the damage from the scandal. now john, there was a major petition also martin luther king jr.'s family, reached out to the judge perhaps that played a role in what occurred today but the judge normally kind of a character in court, a tough guy so to speak that's what his role has been the past seven months he ended today's court by standing up and saying i am ready to move on, anyway so adios. robert ray in atlanta. the law allowed residents to take control of the school if they feel teachers aren't doing the job. parents can pull the trigger on the school's operation. tonight you are going to meet a community standing ready to just that. jennifer london has this story. >> 20th street elementary school, is failing it's students. that's the word on the playground according to a number of parents. they say students are falling behind in math, and 60% can't read at grade level. lupe's daughter is in the fourth grade mom say she is a bright student but isn't being challenged. >> for any one i don't see any vocabulary words that they used to give them, third grade was terrific. but right now i don't see the collage. >> after meeting on the playground, we went to her house to talk about her home work. >> this is first and second grade work. when she brings this home, and then she sits down at the table, to do this, is this easy for her. >> is it challenging for her. >> well, this is easy for her. it is just one digit. >> she is not being challenged. >> not at all. >> this is the example of a fourth grade math assignment, and this is an example from another los angeles unified elementary school. it called for calculating equivalent fractions. aim me's yours work is simple addition. we looked a it is math curriculum, it suggests students should be working on more complicated math problems. including multiplying fractions and basic geometry. if we don't do something now lit be too late. >> other parents are doing something they are trying to take over the school. in early april a group of parents sent this letter to the head of the public schools it informed the districts thatn't pas are invoking the parent empowerment act. various forms of the law exist in seven other states. in california it gaves parents the ability to effectively take over a school and make sweeping changes including turning it into a charter school, which would be exempt from union contracts. in 40 the case of 20th street, parents say they want a pilot school, which the district would manage but would have some of the freedom of charter school. >> we have a date locked in. >> gabe rose is with parent revolution, an l. a. based nonprofit that works with parents during the trigger process. parents for so long have been -- but the district thinks it is a crisis when only 43% of kids are reading at grade level, and you are the school performing the bottom of the state the f the district doesn't think that's a ice that is' a problem. >> we are going to bebin with inclusion. >> in a move to avoided the take over, the school district met with parents. >> in the school cafeteria we sat down with roberto martinez. >> one of the complaints as outlined in the letter, is that the parents say about 60% of the students here can't read at grade level is that true. >> well, what i can tell you is 6% of the first of all we are looking at very types of groups. i have seen different data that shows 51% so the data is mixed. when we asked show us -- >> shouldn't all students at the school be able to read at grade level. >> absolutely. >> so forget the. >> pes but it is any stupid are not reading at grade level, they are falling behind. >> absolutely. >> and that's not acceptable. >> it isn't for us who we do, we look at data. >> the data the district says isn't public, but does admit there's been no standard toasting in math and reading at 20th street. when the parents say the school is failing and they have worked for over a year, to enact changes and they are not seeing the changes. you say what. >> i say that there are pockets of excellent at this school. i also say that that there are problems there may be two or three kids maybe up to six teachers that are -- that have challenges. >> whys han't the district taken action. >> our expectation is that the principal is visiting classrooms that the principal is holding data tests. >> is he doing that. >> we are not sure you aren't sure. >> well, our expectation is that they are conferencing these folks what grayed would you give 20th street. >> probably a c c plus. >> a c. >> is a c acceptable. >> that's why we are hering tonight. >> that's barely passing. >> conversations between school if the district plans to meet dend mas they say they are prepared to pull the trigger on california's law and take over the school. >> >> what are youing so your daughter about what is happened at her school. >> well, my daughter knows what we are doing. she supported that, quite often she says thank you mommy for doing what you are doing, not just for me but for the other kids. proximate cause the children know. >> they know, they know they are going to be so far behind that they aren't going to be able to catch up. >> jennifer london, al jazeera los angeles. >> in pakistan, ten member oz f the taliban were sentenced to life in prison for the shooting she is the teenager activist targeted for her support of girls education she was shot on her way home from school in 2012. she continued to advocate for women's rights. last year she was awarded the nobel peace prize. where a conflict is growing between native tribes and the united nations. the focus is a plan to safe the rain forest. david reports. mere in panama there is a struggle going on. those who rely on the rain forest to survive, whose livelihood depends on clearing it. there has to be a solution on finding a middle ground. some people say it is one of those last boast hopes. s with awe yo he, sos then't that easy. >> >> it is 6:00 a.m., tribes from across latin america are gathering to assert their concerns. about the threat of deforroast station, in their homeland. their very survival depends on this lush rain forest. but the livelihoods of cattle ranches farmers and loggers depend on clearing this land. slash and burn tree cutting has caused the loss of roughly 1 billion-acres of rain forroast around the world in the last 40 years. >> that's nearly half the size of the continental united states. >> and for those like the guno who depend on the forest for food, medicine, and even clothing the outlook is grim. >> what you are seeing right here is the front line in the battle between man and nature, it is a scene that plays out all across the world, but particularly in the tropics here in panama, this kind of scorched earth is exactly what they are fighting to stop. >> the united nations is trying to help. red stands for reducing emissions from deforest station and forest degradation. countries and other groups are rewarded for protecting the forest with so called carbon credits. which can be traded and sold for cash. >> as a conservationist i see finally that places value to this standing forest. >> and according to conservationist, it is needed to slow the rising seas and rivers that are rapidly closing in on tribes. >> a man named kika, a former secretary of the congress took me down river to explain. >> so basically this was the old village here, and a move back in 2010 because of increased flooding and they had to move the entire village up to higher ground. >> the climate here is changing water gets higher forcing them to look for new homes. just a three hour boat ride from here off the northern coast, authorities are making plans to relocate thousands of local residents. worldwide sea levels are rising by more than three-millimeters every year. as low lying communitieses like these islands where they also live are slowly being swallowed up many scientists believe it on the recent increase in greenhouse gas which is contributed to both the rising temperatures and rising sea levels. that's what the u. n. red plan to sharply limit the deforest station is always about, trees are like sponges which absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. when they are cut down, they release that gas back into the air. folding one fit of the world's greenhouse gagses come from carbon dioxide that's released back into the atmosphere when trees are felled. >> if you butt together all the emissions from trains, railroads the entire transportation sector, burning gasoline throughout the year, all of it together, it does not release as much into the atmosphere as the burning of forests. >> but ironically, an unlikely opponent is the tribe itself. >> so after talking to some people here, in this village about carbon trading one thing that becomes clear is the idea of assigning value to trees that goes against their culture because you can't put a price for them, at least on the rain forest. >> there's always a reservation when programs are brought in from the outside they go against our tradition, and what we know. in panama, one fifth of the country is governed by tribes and most of that land is covered by rain forest. so when it comes to red, the tribes have to approve it. >> the project is their own project, you don't have a project. >> and there is reason to be skeptical. >> under the program a country like panama must self-police, nourse, it can say it is aggressively protecting it's forest and receive it's rewards but it is not clear if the u.n. would really know if it is. >> and that is the dilemma of a twenty-first century approach to ancient forest and ancient people like the g,na. it is a matter of sacred trust. so obviously there is still a lot of hurdles to overcome here but those who are in favor of carbon trading say they are still very much optimistic but one thing that is clear is the importance of trees to the environment. and how that plays out going forward, it is a challenge for the entire world to take on when it comes to deforest station. >> . coming up next, my conversation with robert kennedy's daughter rory kennedy on her oscar nominated documentary last days in vietnam. >> 40 years ago today, saigon fell and the vietnam war was over. images of citizens climbing the fence in the u. embassy were flashed around the world forever a symbol of american defeat. the u.s. also left behind a dark legacy. u.s. forces used the chemical to destroy the jungle where the enemy was riding but it also poisoned and still poisons countless people. second and third generations are sometimes dealing with deflections. the goodwill of all people to do everything medically, like blood transfusions to keep my boy alive as long as possible. >> many vietnamese are calling on the u.s. to step up the decontamination efforts in our next hour, we will take a look at what is being done about it, and hear from a representative of the ancient orange campaign on john why what is being done is simply not enough. >> so many years later. as they withdrew from saigon. >> 30. >> thank you. >> that morning it must have been at least 10,000 people in the embassy. there was a sea of people, wanting to get out. they looked up, at the helicopters and i could see their eyes. there are no word today describe what a ship looks like that holds 200 that has 2,000. >> the documentary was directed by rory kennedy the daughter of former attorney general robert kennedy. i asked her why she produced this film. >> i feel like this is such an important story and it is a story that i think we all think we know, as a nation, what happened at the end of vietnam, i think the truth is that many of russ familiar with that iconic image of the helicopter leafing what we think is the top of the embassy, but we don't know what happens. and that was my experience in making this film. i thought i knew the events and i was blown away by what happened and i feel like it is a hugely important part of our history, it is a hugely important chapter in american history. and that we deserve to know this story. i think it is also very relevant very timely today as we are trying to get out of iraq and afghan zahn. you were born in 1968 and some may ask since you weren't there and didn't ex-persons that period of time why would it interest you? was there more to it than that. >> well, my father ran his final campaign in 1968, because he wanted us to get out of vietnam and that's why he jumped into that race. for me growing up in the aftermath of that i was very aware from a young age of vietnam, i had an appreciation of the importance of that war. the relevance and i think it drew me to the subject matter what was exciting the me is when i started to uncover these personal stories of the people who are on the front lines, the film really focused on the last 24 hours. it's told like a ticking time clock what is going to happen next who will get out and and these tails of the men that did everything they could to save as many vietnamese as possible, and it is a story that many of us don't know. >> the pictures are amazing and some gripping interviews i think the part that strikes me is the american officials who refuse to get it who didn't understand that there was so many south vietnamese that were vulnerable and needed to get out. >> i think it is telling the larger story as a nation when we think of vietnam we think of u.p.s. pros made, promises broken, i think it is we abandoned our allies it isn't a bright shining moment in our history and yet the history going in the wrong direction, these men stood up and did the right thing they saw what was wrong even though it was against u.s. policy at the time, they stood up and they said we are going to try to save as many people as possible. >> you look at this war so many years later for some of those people do the feelings still raw. >> extraordinarily so, absolutely. for most of the people i interviewed i would talk to them days later and they would say they were still recovering from talking about it. there's one guy who we interviewed in the film, a wonderful man he was -- he worked with the americans he worked with an american company, he was ensured if anything happens he would get out of the country, he was left behind, he ended up spending 13 years in a re-education camp doing hard labor. he says all he wants to do is being able to watch the film but he does haven't the strength because it is too difficult. >> i would encouraging everybody to go see it. >> thank you, john. >> that's our broadcast thank you for watching. the news continues next with antonio morrow and libby casey, see you. >> weeknights on al jazeera america. >> join me as we bring you an in-depth look at the most important issues of the day. breaking it down. getting you

we will search everywhere possible more women and children rescued in nigeria. among the hundreds no sign of the missing schoolgirls. life amid the rubble. >> i'm amazed by the lady. i don't know
