Job market showed signs of rebounding last month, after a dismal start to the year. The Labor Department reported today that employers added 22,000 jobs in april, up from just 85,000 in march.

President obama took up the call for an asian trade deal again today, in a visit to nike headquarters in oregon. The president said critics of the transpacific partnership, including many of his fellow democrats, are just wrong. If we dont write the rules for trade around the world, guess what . China will. And theyll write those rules in a way that gives Chinese Workers and chinese businesses the upper hand and locks americanmade goods out. Thats the choice we face. Woodruff nike has been criticized over its labor practices in asia, where most of its shoes are made. It promised today to create 10,000 jobs in the u. S. If the trade deal goes through.

Attorney general Loretta Lynch said she hopes it will help repair relations between police and minorities. It was the clear that recent events including the tragic, incustody death of mr.

This process is meant to ensure that officers are being provided with the tools that they need including training policy guidance and equipment to be more effective to partner with civilians and strengthen public safety. Woodruff the review will look for patterns of racial bias and excessive force. Thereve been similar federal investigations in ferguson missouri, and in cleveland.

Instead, they cite general concerns since last weekends attack on an exhibit and contest of mohammad cartoons in texas. Saudi arabia announced today its going ahead with a unilateral ceasefire in yemen starting may 12th. A Saudi Coalition will halt its Bombing Campaign for five days, to allow humanitarian assistance into yemen. The foreign minister made the announcement with secretary of state john kerry in paris. But he warned Yemens Houthi rebels to abide by the truce. It is our hope and our desire that the houthis will come to their senses and realize that the interests of yemen and the yemeni people are to be the top priority for everyone. The cease fire will end should the houthis or their allies not live up to the agreements contained in this issue. Woodruff in the meantime, the saudis resumed bombing a houthi stronghold province in northern yemen after giving civilians until sundown to flee.

Woodruff the United Kingdom woke up on this day after National Elections to find the same Political Party in charge, but with a message from voters that will take some sorting out. Woodruff in the end, it was a trouncing by the tories, as Prime MinisterDavid Cameron and his conservative party won an outright majority in parliament. Hell return to number ten downing street for another five year term after a bruising campaign. We must ensure that we bring our country together. As i said in the small hours of this morning, we will govern as a party of one nation, one United Kingdom. Woodruff preelection public polls had forecast a tight race with the labour party. Instead, labour, led by ed miliband, was blown out. And nick cleggs liberal democrats took crushing losses dropping 49 seats. Both party chiefs resigned their leadership posts this morning. So, in this new parliament, of the 650 seats, conservatives will hold 331, labour 232 seats the Scottish National party will have 56, and the liberal democrats just eight. Besides the conservatives, the other big winner was the Scottish National party. It swept virtually every race in scotland, all but ending labours longtime dominance there. Woodruff joining me now for more on the outcome is Robin Niblett, the director of chatham house, an independent policy institute in london. Robin niblett, welcome. How do you read these results . Well, theyre remarkable in the sense that no one predicted them coming out quite the way they did. People thought the conservatives might be able to to cobble together a majority but an outright majority was not expected. At some level the british people are cautious certainly in the United Kingdom south of scotland where people saw the economy growing, unemployment low and decided they didnt want to gamble the upturn in economy with an upturn of government and a party. Woodruff what are the main challenges coming out of the results for Prime Minister cameron . I think he has two. One is scotland. The remarkable scene of the Scottish Nationalist party taking 56 out of 59 seats decimating labor party for whom this had been the heartland for some of the best politicians. You have a party in the north in scotland that has a mandate to stop austerity, to stop the cuts. Off party in the United Kingdom by the conservatives who believe they have a mandate to complete the job so he will have to pull the two sides together perhaps by extension of devolution to the scotts. There will be a referendum held by end of 2017 whether the u. K. Stays in or leaves the e. U. And will be based on negotiations he needs to undertake extremely quickly with other european counterparts. Then the final challenge for him is simply the fact that the british economy is not yet fixed. Were still running a 5 deficit to gdp, the highest in europe, so a lot of cuts to come. He has a full plate. Woodruff what sort of alliances do you see him making in order to tackle these . How do you see for example, you describe a clear difference with the Scottish National party over economic decisions. How do you see cameron approaching that . He hans outright majority, 331 seats gives him the majority over the left leaning parties close to 30 majority, more like 15, all the other parties included. This is his chance after five years ago of Coalition Government to follow the plan that the conservatives saw. So i dont think theyre looking for partners. They would like to avoid having partners. The danger is if he ends up in the situation john major was in in 1992, he had a majority, a little more than David Cameron has now. Pretty soon, he found in the back benches, those without positions in the cabinet, the ministries started to go suicidal on europe. They were absolutely determined to fight european integration. So when the referendum comes up when he thinks he has a majority for domestic agenda he might find a rebellion on his dossier. Reporter how does this affect the United States. David cameron when he took power in 2010 as Coalition Government i think made a deliberate effort to try to wean the u. K. Off its special relationship of the United States. There was a sense to which the United States was pivoting or rebalancing toationpacific. The britts had to be more selfinterested. Some people described it as coming to an elizabethan Foreign Policy. Get back into relationship with china, india, the gulf States Latin America and theres been an effort to push the u. K. Into more commercial diplomacy. Its not worked that well, to be frank, and i think well see in the second term perhaps a more cautious approach to Foreign Policy partly because he has a full domestic agenda and to Work Together with the United States and be supportive on issues like iran, Climate Change negotiations later on this year and tackling the extremism out of the middle east. So i think a balance to traditional Foreign Policy. Woodruff Robin Niblett joining us from london. We thank you. Pleasure, thank you. Woodruff it sounds like a story from another era, or at least another place. Disadvantaged women working long hours in unhealthy conditions for meager wages. And sometimes, at least to start, no real pay. But a twopart series in the New York Times found all this is happening today, in the nail salons of new york city and other big cities. Among the findings, the women often have to pay shop owners a fee to be hired. And routinely share cramped, rundown living quarters. Reporter Sarah Maslin Nir spent a year investigating the story and joins me now. Sarah maslin nir, welcome to the newshour. What got you interested in looking at the plight of these women who work in the nail salon . Thank you for having me. It was a little bit of a fluke. I was get ago pedicure at one of the odd 24hour salons in manhattan and i marveled at the woman doing my toes, i said who works the night shift. She says i work the night shift. She says i work 24 hours a day, six days a week. I live in the ba racks above the salon, they shake me awake to do night treatments and on the seventh day i sleep for 24 hours and come back. Woodruff you went beyond her . I went beyond her and interviewed over 125 manicurists and found that woman is the extreme, but not that far off from the reality. As you said before, people have to pay for their jobs up to 200, sometimes more and then work for free for weeks or months until an arbitrary time when the owner decides maybe they merit being paid and then their starting salary is 30 a day. Reporter day. Woodruff and you found a hierarchy in terms of how theyre paid depending on the country they may have been from their family was from . That was particularly startling. The industry is 80 korean owned, creating a hire arcing among the nail shops. Hispanic woman with viewed as the bottom as unsanitary and chinese are above them and korean women, particularly young beautiful women are paid the most. That governs everything about the salon, not just the pay. I had salon where hispanic workers are not allowed to speak while their korean colleagues can do whatever they want and its very painful for them. Woodruff we have maps which show where nail salons are. You looked at new york city, Los Angeles San francisco and what you see is women of all economic classes or at least the neighborhoods are patronizing the shops what did you find . Well, man cures have become this ultimate oxymoron. Cheap luxury. There is no such thing. Someone is bearing the cost of your discount and that someone is always the worker, the person least able to afford it. The proliferation of salons in new york city who have the most per capita of any metropolitan city in the u. S. , you could call it the manicure capital to have the United States, led to a total decrease of prices, man cures are 10 average here i found. Theyre 20 across the rest of the nation. Why in the most expensive city in america where a latte is 4 is the manicure price so low . Judy, that is because the workers are not being paid. Woodruff how did you get the women to talk to you . You write about that was not easy. It was very challenging. I worked with a team of extraordinarily talented interpreters who worked alongside of me chinese, korean and spanish. There are pickup spots located in flushing where workers get jobs across the tristate area and they are shuttled off. Every morning the streets are filled with nail salon workers and we spent three months asking these women, tell me your story. This act of a manicure is a very intimate thing. Youre Holding Hands with a woman half an hour youre staring into her eyes and people dont see them, still. When we say to these women, heres a chance to be seen, some brave women took it, though understandably as Illegal Immigrants working undocumented and without licenses many times many were afraid and i understand had every reason not to tell me their stories but some truly did. Woodruff there is much more to this story. Youre the second part of the series that ran today has to do with some of the health risks. Its really a remarkable series in the New York Times. Is a Sarah Maslin Nir, we thank you. Thank you so much. Woodruff you may not realize it but Artificial Intelligence is all around us. We rely on smart machines to scan our checks at a. T. M. s, to navigate us on road trips and much more. Humans still have quite an edge. Just today, four of the worlds best texas holdem poker players won an epic twoweek tournament against, yes, an advanced computer program. The field is growing and pushing new boundaries. Hari sreenivasan has the first in a series of stories about it, and the concerns over where it may lead. Its the latest report in our ongoing breakthroughs series on invention and innovation. Sreenivasan Artificial Intelligence has long captured our imaginations. Open the pod bay doors, hal. Im sorry, dave. Im afraid i cannot do that. Sreenivasan with robots like hal in 2001 a space odyssey and now ava from the recently released exmachina, and chappie a thinking robot could be the end of mankind. Sreenivasan the plots thicken when the Intelligent Machines question the authority of their makers, and begin acting on their own accord. Do you think i might be switched off . Its not up to me. Why is it up to anyone . Sreenivasan make no mistake, these are hollywood fantasies. But they do tap into reallife concerns about Artificial Intelligence, or a. I. Elon musk, founder and ceo of tesla motors spacex is not exactly a luddite bent on stopping the advance of technology. But he says, a. I. Poses a potential threat more dangerous than nuclear weapons. I think we should be very careful about Artificial Intelligence. If i were to guess what our biggest existential threat is, its probably that. With Artificial Intelligence, we are summoning the demon. Sreenivasan musk recently donated 10 million to the future of life institute, which is focused on keeping a. I. Research beneficial to humanity. Add his voice to a list of bright minds like physicist stephen hawking, microsoft founder bill gates and several leaders in the field of Artificial Intelligence. Among them, stuart russell, who heads the a. I. Lab at the uni
