Transcripts For ALJAZAM Weekend News 20160404

More competitive in overseas markets. Plus as al jazeera prepares to stay goodbye we take a long look at journalism. The news is a little outdated for our generation. Were getting our news online. Topics of the night and the week ahead. Topping its news this hour, a potential to reshape the president ial race. The wisconsin primaries now just two days away. The democrats have 96 delegates up for grabs. While Hillary Clinton maintains the lead. She is trying to break a Bernie Sanders winning streak. For the republicans, 4 delegates for the taking polls show ted cruz. The president ial nominee could potentially be someone who is not currently running. According to Party Chairman Reince Priebus, Donald Trumps popularity winning over many voters and ted cruz and john kasich trailing in the polls, they could present an alternative candidate. Where you have five, six, seven rounds its possible that a person could be nominated that is not one of the three. But my position is, and i think its absolutely correct, our nominees are likely to be one of the three people running. Trump also appeared on fox news sunday. The billionaire insists hell win the nomination even though he polls lower than ted cruz in wisconsin. We have great polls nationwide. I think were doing very well. Dont forget, it would always be better to win. I think i get there anyway, but i like wisconsin. I like the people in wisconsin. Ive had tremendous crowds. Weve had a tremendous response. And i think im going to do very well in wisconsin. Ted cruz was in wisconsin where he was introduced by Governor Scott walker and joined by carli fiorino. Both of them previous republican candidates. If hillary is the next president we lose the Supreme Court for a generation. We lose much of the bill of rights. Our children are buried in trillions more in debt. To the democrats now, and the wrangling over a debate. Hillary clinton to debate Bernie Sanders april 15th. The two candidates say they have both been trying to coordinate an event. Perhaps in brooklyn where sanders was born and clinton has his campaign headquarters. No response on the proposal. Hillary clintons husband bill is campaign in california, and challenger Bernie Sanders remains in wisconsin, where he maintains a slight lead in the polls over clinton. He conducted a town meeting before moving on to a rally in madison. Earlier al jazeera discussed the importance of the wisconsin primary with a professor of Campaign Management at new york university. We asked her in the republican establishment might find a way to choose a nominee other than trump or cruz . I think it is very possible at this point. If trump does not do well in the next few primaries from wisconsin to new york to some of these New England States they hold them to the below the 1237, ted cruz things if he gets within at least 100 of donald trump theyre going into a contested convention. That is very, very possible that they do not coalesce behind any of the three candidates running now and instead they bring in whether its a paul ryan or mitt romney from the outside. I think its hard for us to imagine, but that is happened in the past, and it could certainly happen this time around if they cannot coalesce behind one of these candidates after that second ballot. Now trump and his supporters are warning that there could be unrest if he does not get the nomination. Professor said that they need understand and respect the rules of the party. Well, after tuesday the next contest will be the Democratic Caucus in wyoming on saturday, april 9th. Then comes one of the biggest primaries of the season in new york tuesday april 19th. That will be followed by more primaries the following week in connecticut, delaware, maryland, pennsylvania, another big one, and rhode island. And an accident involving an amtrak train has claimed two lives in philadelphia. Two construction workers died and two passengers were injured. The crash is once again raising questions about the safety of americas railway system. Amtrak train 89 started in new york city and was bound for savannah, georgia, carrying 341 passengers and seven crew members. As it passed through pennsylvania something went very wrong. I felt like the train hit something and there were three or four really big bangs. It threw us off the chairs. The train had hit a backhoe that was on the tracks. I woke up to being thrown in the seat in front of me and the window was blown out right beside me. Yeah, there was a fireball. Kind of a frightening few seconds. We didnt know what to do. There was an explosion, a loud bang and the train decreased speed to halt and basically there is a cloud of yellow smoke surrounding the train as we stopped. Two people died in the derailment. Both long time amtrak employees who were working with the backhoe that caused the accident. Dozens of passengers were injured and taken to an injury hospital. It is not clear why the backhoe was on the tracks, but the National Transportation safety board and federal Railroad Administration are investigating. The accident took place 20 miles south of the side of amtraks deadliest crashes in history. Last may eight people died and 200 were injured when a new york bound trail derailed in philadelphia. According to the administration. Amtrak trains derail 30 times each year. Passenger deaths are relatively rare. An investigator for the National Transportation safety board said that the recorder and Surveillance Video from the train have been recovered. This mornings accident isnt the first this year. An amtrak train derailed in kansas last might sending more than 30 passengers to hospitals. So sad. Is enough being done to make sure that the riders are safe . Well, the Rail Infrastructure in this country is quite old, so there has been an debate whether congress is putting forth enough funding to update that system. As part of that effort as the end of 2015 amtrak adapted new auto breaking technology, which could have prevented the crash last may that killed eight people. But there is no indication that any of that would have made a difference in this mornings crash. Thank you. In brussels the airport ceo said that we are back. Flights resumed today 12 days after the suicidebomb that killed 32 people. Officials call the first flight bound for port goa portugal a symbolic moment of hope. Starting with three flights per day the numbers will increase gradually. Makeshift facilities only allow the airport to operate at 30 capacity. This is a symbolical and emotional moment for the airport community. Were turning a page. A page full of blood, but we have to rebuild this airport, and we will do so. Officials say that they hope to have the airport running back to normal by late june in time for the peak vacation season. Hundreds of people held a candle light vigil in the pakistani city of lahore one week after a suicidebomber killed 75 people. One family lost three children in the blast. Emran khan reports. They gather at the graves of those they loved. This family lost three children, two sons and one daughter. They were among the 70 People Killed in lahore last week, most of whom were children. The mother tells us that the family was looking forward to a Holiday Weekend at the popular park. The weekend is a holiday for the children, and the next day they had school. So the father said the house is small so lets go to the park so they can be a little free. We got to the park and they played. I watched as they ran. There was a loud noise and smoke. I couldnt hear anything. People were on fire and others were lying dead. I found my children underneath the bodies of others. My husband lost a leg and is in hospital. Ill never go back to that park again. Im too scared. At home in their grief they talk about the short lives of their children. One, five years old, another, seven years old, and another 12 years old. Like many in the park last sunday they came from the poorest parts of punjab province. It was a rare chance for hard working families to relax and enjoy a picnic and an ice cream. After off shoot of the Pakistani Taliban said that the attack was designed to target christians celebrating easter. For this family and others like them, the reasons for the attack simply dont matter. They say no justification is enough for them. Most of the people who died in this attack have been buried in ancestral villages like this that dot the region, but for these people the reasons why this attack took place do not matter. Only that their lives changed in an instant, and their children died violently. Lahore is still coming to terms with what happened. There is still a sense of fear and nervousness. Al jazeera, ruler punjab. In turkey, outrage of refugees who are about to arrive from greece. Theyre marching, chanting and signing petitions against the agreement that takes effect tomorrow. It calls for refugees to be housed at a nearby carp that is now under construction. Harry fawcett is in turkey covering the events as they unfold. Here in the seaside town they have been creating a Reception Center here at the dock made of tents. We understand that this is where the first batch of several hundred refugees coming and migrants coming back from the greek island of lesbos will be processed. There have been protests here in the town by those who said they dont want refugees setting up a permanent camp here. They say theyre worried about crime. Theyre worried about the effects on the job market. Theyre worried about the effect on tourism. The government said that it has no plans to set up a permanent camp here. These people will be processed here and sent on into camp further inland. We dont know exactly where that will be. The turkish interior minister has been talking earlier on sunday. He said that this deal is already having to some extent its desired effect in reducing the numbers of people trying to get into greece from the coast line here in western turkey. He said that the numbers are down below 300 a day and the coast guard has been picking up people and preventing them from crossing. Certainly what were hearing from smugglers around here is that its becoming more difficult. The security has been tightened, but there still remain questions go the fairness of all this. The afghans, iraqis and pakistanis will be immediately deported to their home countries. We spoke to one academic who said by putting anyone who has returned to the end of a very long line for any legal return to europe, could act as a spur to encourage them once again to try to get in illegally across the sea. Up next, a single mother from afghanistan travels halfway around the world to find a safe place to raise her daughter. When she arrived in america life changed for both of them. A remarkable story coming up. Plus bow something losing oversea markets, major job cuts coming. We look at what it means for americas largest exporter. And our last storm system has brought widespread wind damage across much of the midwest as well as the east coast, and were looking at another storm coming, and that one is promising to bring the temperatures more like winter. All that coming up right after this. This past week boeing, americas largest exporter, nounced a huge job cuts. 4,000 positions will be eliminated this year. The Company Hopes to save 1 billion as it competes with its european rival airbus. They are expected to hit assembly lines, research and engineering. 80,000 employees are in the commercial Airline Division where most of the cuts will come from. Of the 4,000 cuts will be voluntary layoffs. The Union Representing boeing workers say 1,000 have already applied for it. The other positions will be left veh cant by attrition. In an effort to reduce costs a total of 8,000 layoffs may eventually be necessary. Joining us now from washington, d. C. Is pedro acosta. An editorial fellow with the Peterson Institute for international economics. Thank you for joining us. So boeing said that it has to make these cuts to make them more competitive to deal with airbus, its competition, streamlining. Is there anything else at play here . There the overseas markets is a major market for boeing. Its the largest exporter in the United States. So the weakness in the Global Economy does affect boeings bottom line. But boeing is not doing very poorly. It is facing stiff competition from airbus, and there has been that historic rivalry, but it is enjoying a large boom. It is part of a trend where you see companies, in part because of technology making do with fewer workers, and thats part of what is happening. Of course, this is a very high tech industry. What can you tell us about boeings Standing Orders . I understand that it goes into a couple of decades, right . The thats correct. These are longterm projects. They have to make adjustments over a very long term. When they start to see the demand curbed overseas, particularly china, the middle east, markets that have made boeing the success that it is, they have to make adjustments in that respect. So the European Union, the World Trade Organization has ruled that european governments have been giving airbus unfair subsidies. Is there anything that boeing can do to offset those subsidies . Perhaps by the u. S. Government . This is funny. This is a reversal of something that happened in 2012. There was a decision by the World Trade Organization in the option direction. These are industries that are difficult to enter, high cost of entry, and so on, theyre monopolistic in nature, and they did rely on government subsidy. The question is what do we want out of our exporters . Its really an adjustment by the administration as to whether we want to choose specific industries that we want to support because we think theyre particularly good or because theyre large employers or whether we want to allow marketsmarket competition to run its course. Thank you very much, mr. Pedro dicosta fellow from the peter institute for international economics. Thanks for having me. Kevin corriveau here with the weather. I hope its warmer. Well, it depends on where you are, randall. You want it to be warmer here. Yes. Unfortunately, no, its not going to be warmer for another couple of days. We have a system coming off the great lakes. Well show you that right now. You can see that one system. That is a clipper, an alberta clipper. We just had one that pushed through one right after the other. Well go closer in to show you what is happening here. This particular system caused a lot of problems, particularly when it comes to winds. Well show you all these yellow dots indicating where wind damage has been reported. Ill show you one of those. This is back in indiana. This is a carthe driver is safe. Just a couple of injuries, but he had stepped out of that car seconds before the wind blew over that concrete sign. Thats how powerful the winds are. People lost power from wisconsin to maine and tens of thousands of people are still without power right now. Ill show you what were looking at in terms of winds that we are seeing. Jfk saw wind gusts of 64 mph. In brunswick, 69, and in connecticut they reached 51 mph there. Across the new york area, look at that, new york got 3 mph last hour. But up here towards maine and boston were still dealing with the winds. That should start to ease as we go towards the next couple of hours. Now the next system coming in is coming in off the great lakes right here. Thats going to cause a big problem with snow. Especially parts of the great lakes where we do expect to see lakeeffect snow there. And then down here towards the cell were going to be seeing temperatures definitely going down. In not necessarily tomorrow morning but were going to be seeing as we go towards tuesday morning, the low of 27 and i do expect that to be lower on wednesday morning. And the weather and spring, spring weather. Thank you. 70,000 refugees arrived in the u. S. In 2013. One of them was sarita, a single mother who fled from wartorn afghanistan and pakistan in the hope of finding a better life for herself and her daughter. Al jazeeras Roxana Saberi takes us through one mothers journey as a refugee in the United States. You 42yearold satara would never have imagined this site two decades ago in ta talibans pakistan her daughter sara would never have made it through school. If sara would have grown up in afghanistan, she never would have had a good life. Even today its bad. Being a woman in afghanistan comes with its own challenges. For satara being a single mother was one of them. After her marriage failed she decided to join her parents in pakistan. Whatever relief i had, it was taken away by the taliban, fights, terror, everyone knows the relationship between afghanistan and the taliban. Eventually she decided to apply for refugee status. My friend told me about unhcr Refugee Program, and said it would be easy for me to get approved being a single mother with a child. After nearly two and a half years of interviews and background checks, satara made it to the u. S. In 2013. It was very hard for me to believe that i was finally going to the u. S. In new york she was introduced to women for afghan women, a Nonprofit Organization based in new york and kabul helping afghan women resettle in the u. S. Founded in 2001 the organization helped more than 580 afghan women last year. Nahid, the Groups Program director, said that life in afghanistan has improved for women after they were allowed to join politics and schools. This is something more than 30 years of war, and it does not take just a few years to build it back into place where it was. Women helped me with social security, food stamps, i. D. Other matters. I used to get scared of traveling,
