What appears to be a Big Development in the gaza israel crisis takes hold. Hamas confirmed a humanitarian ceasefire, hopefully paving the way to longer lasting release. Before the announcement the United Nations warns that shelters are filled to capacity, and disease is starting to take hold. The white house made a Harsh Criticism to close allies after the deadly attack on a u. N. Shelter, sa school and thousands of displaced gazans. The military says it destroyed 90 of tunnels used by separatists. Binyamin netanyahu vowed to blow up all the tunnels with or without a ceasefire. Al jazeeras Nick Schifrin is standing by in gaza city. 72 hour ceasefire sounds like a Significant Development that is, if it holds. Absolutely. If it doesnt, this is a Significant Development. The best ceasefire lasted a few hours and none of them lasted without a rocket flying from her into israel or israeli air strike in the gaza. As to the language that secretary of state john kerry, and u. S. Secretarygeneral ban kimoon is using its more definite and concrete than any ceasefire we have seen. Both parties are supposed to hold fire for the three days. Theyll stay in place. That applies to the israeli military, who will stay on the gaza israel border, and may continue operations on the tunnels leading from gaza into israel, so long as the tunnels, the Access Points are inside of israel. The main point here is two things. One, to start the diplomacy for a longterm ceasefire. You see israeli officials, hamas officials and intermediaries go to cairo, and that will start the process that so many people wanted towards a longterm ceasefire, regardless of whether a long term ceasefire can hold, its about getting the humanitarian needs of those people. Its been so difficult for the last three weeks, and three days of pause, even if its three days will be released for so many gazans who have fled their homes, who have lost family members, and dealt with what the u. N. Called a humanitarian crisis. The aid workers said that this is overwhelming to them. Theres an enormous amount of pressure on the International Relief agencies. There is. It goes from top to bottom across the strip. Lets look at power, for example. You can see little behind me. The lights, by the way that you see are probably israel. Theres a huge blackout. There is no power in gaza city. So the first step will be getting emergency workers towards the power plant that was destroyed to fix that water. Theres a huge shortage of water, 3040 of gaza, according to the u. N. Does not have enough Drinking Water. Aid workers have to figure that out. Sanitation has not been functioning because of electricity. Theyll try to fix that. The list goes on. Add to that this number 400,000 people. That is the number of displaced, according to the u. N. , a number we have not heard up until earlier when valerie amos, the u. N. Special representative said this in front of the u. N. Security council, she said 440,000 people, one in four of gaza strip. That is a huge number, and that is the number of people fleeing the home. Theyll go back to their homes, theyll have time to pick up the dead. Care for the wounded who fill the hospitals, and they will figure out what to do for the rest of their lies. They may not feel so secure as to go back, move back to the homes, but all of the peel we talked to. The people sleeping outside the hospitals, people sleeping in u. N. Shelters, they are desperate for some space, and this three days will give them a little bit of space, even if they are not sure it will lead to a permanent ceasefire. They want breathing room. We appreciate you being with us. The Israeli Campaign placed heavy pressure on gaza. They try to provide humanitarian assistance. America tonights adam may reports on the need and efforts to help. The terrifying sound residents across gaz re dread. Those gaza dread. Those holed up in their homes and those sheltering in the United Nations war run by agencies. Translation the fear is unimaginable. We are living in sad conditions. We are. Afraid to go to the toilet, to eat, to dripping. I would rather be buried alive than wait for the air strikes. Reporter the u. N. Says 44 of gaza is a no go military zone, as the military orders further evacuations. Fleeing u. N. Schools. What they find is an overwhelmed cashstrapped agency bursting at the scoops, at a breaking scenes, at a blacking point. Barely able to provide water, food, sanitation or protection. I want to go and die in my own home. Rather than in a u. N. School. Theres no safety here, whatsoever. This man was planning to leave with his family and take their chances back home. Theres 240,000 palestinians sheltered in 86 u. N. Schools. That puts around 2,500 its placed people ber school, and 80 sleeping people crammed into classcrimes. Dozens of classrooms. Dozens have been killed, including u. N. Workers. They are told fully areas, get out of areas, but to where. Where should they go . Again, we dont have the april for them. The answer for them. Despite the challenges and what the humanitarian crisis looming out of control. It offers the only life line providing food aid to those in shelters, but residents hungered down in their homes too. If it werent for a n. R. A. We would have destroyed. We are joined by former white house represent tist to the Israeli Police talks Robert Hunter now a senior fellow for Transatlantic Relations at john hopkins. Lets talk about a 72 hour humanitarian pause, an opportunity and the possibility of additional discussion spending negotiators to cairo. I suspect what happened is the secretary of state got up on his hind legs and said to hamas youre never going to get a better deal out of the israelis, because they are prepared to go for break, he probably said to the israelis ever any day you carry on with this, and every time a missile kills civilians, whether you intend it or not, we assume its an accident, you look force and force. Not just countries around the world, but in the United States. I think he probably got a little angry with the israelis and the president about having gone out there and come back with nothing. I think hes pressing right now. This is the moment to try to move beyond this. He has 72 hours to work with. By the way, there were other developments in this as well. I mean the latest strike on the school. So many civilians, 15, who died. And the white house issuing a strong condemnation, is that part of what you think brought israel to the table here . I think so. Its for the United States to condemn things israel has done. Israel is being attacked. The enormity of seeing the civilians killed in this way, in places that nowhere remotely near were there might have been a military objective, i think finally got through to the white house, and particularly as i have already said, if the secretary of state went out there, dealt with israel, israel has no other friends but the United States in the entire world. I think they finally said look, you got to cut this out, well get to the best deal in terms of disarming hamas and moving in a direction where youll be secure, but you have to work with me, john kerry and president obama. Secretary john kerry has tan some hits as he came back with nothing to show, as you say, and criticised for pushing too hard on the shortterm ceasefires. This . First, i think it was unfair to push the secretary of state ch way. People are expecting the United States to do it. We are deeply engaged in this. You raise a good point which is if you get a ceasefire and go back to where we were, nothing will accomplish what happened again. On the one hand you have to find a way for hamas to do less in terms of attacking israel. Israel has to recognise that it has got to lift the siege. In fact, if i were to advise the israelis, do you want to empower hamas, keep up the siege. If i want to undercut hamas id open up the border, get controls on bad things going on. Open up the border, get in, get an investment and then the people of gaza will turn against hamas. They dont have a love for hamas. They are the only people providing them with things. The only game in town. The other part of that is Binyamin Netanyahu said that he wanted those tunnels shut down. Now hes at 90 plus. Its not clear that the ceasefire necessarily refers to not doing any work on trying to eliminate the rest of the tunnels, if the objective is accomplished, its an opportunity to bring israel in. First, they said in the past with ceasefires well work against the tunnels. They have been exaggerated in terms of a threat to israel, except psychologically. Theres not much you can do with it, not much has been done with it. If theyve gotten rid of 8090 rz, the israelis can afford to back off. Stop losing in World Opinion and american opinion, for the first time i remember and i have been doing this for 45 years, with the American People wondering what is israel up to using our weapons. This is the time to make it stop. I think john kerry and president obama is doing it right. Dr hunter is a former peace talk for middle east talks.

Some incredible views as a watermain burst at the university of california, los angeles, this week, flooding the karm us campus, causing tens of millions. This spectacular failurion a harsh ion a harsh light on crumbling infrastructure your. In our series, crumbling america, christoph putzel takes us to new york, investigating another leak that could leave the city high and dry. Reporter every day new yorkers consume more than a billion gallons of some of the purest water in the country. This is good clean water, maimously delicious new york city water. This is some of the large scale aqueduct work. Professor kevin bone is an expert on infrastructure that flowing. Can you describe how massive the infrastructure is. Its the largest single capital invest. That new york city made, including the subway system. New york city has been building water supply infrastructure continuously for 20 years. Why is that necessary . It has a population growth exceeding expectations. To quench the thirst, new aqueducts. At one point there were 20,000 people deployed in the construction of the systems, thousands of engineers deployed for the cities of new york. The rain captured was pure fied as it passed through the forest and reservoirs. By the 1930s the city was again running out of water. They built the Delaware Aqueduct, a deep rock tunnel delivering up to 850 million gallons of water from new york city to the we were mountains. Finished in 1945, the Delaware Aqueduct became the longest tunnel in the world. It was the biggest and best that the world had seen. New york city moved water collection and the science of hydrology to a before. Reporter as new york was more dependent on the aqueduct residents from an upstate town notices something odd. The water was up to here. There was no place for it to go, it was coming out of everything. Reporter come rain and shine, davids basement and dozens of others in the area would flood with water. Here . This panel was here. Reporter high. Yes, up to here. Reporter it caused thousands in damage, rotting out the stares, destroying appliances. It is all kind of fun. Approaching . House. Reporter edlived for 50 years in a home where this availabling apt field lies vacant field lies. When did you notice something was wrong. When we bought the house there was a little bit of water, as the years went on it got more and more. Finally it was up to four feet. Reporter what did you think would happen . We didnt know, we thought there was a lot of water in the area. There were a lot of people having problems here. Reporter eventually many suspected na the dalea ware aqueduct, running 6 that the Delaware Aqueduct was running under the ground. The city said no, a tunnel wasnt leaking. Reporter but it was. This is a weir, its a dam, the water nos over it. Theres a gauge. That tells you how much water is going over it. For years residents near rows tonne, 35 miles southeast thought the stream was bubbling from an art eeshian well. We are looking at flow from an aqueduct 600 feet below ground that is leaking. Bill is from a Watchdog Group monitoring the water that supplies new york city. The leaking water is coming up to the surface. New yorks department of environmental application or dep acknowledged in the early 1990s, that it had discovered cracks in the Delaware Aqueduct. Result . Between the leek here and youllster, 35 million a day. Thats a lot of water. Very much. Reporter in fact, thats enough to supply water to nearly half a Million People a day. Problem . The city knew there was a leak. Its not a matter if they conceal it. Its a matter of not being proactive and doing something about it. 25 years later new york citys water supply is living on borrowed time. Worst Case Scenario is you have a catastrophic tale. If the tunnel is under pressure and collapsed, itd have to be shut down. Reporter what would happen . 50 of the water supply would cease to exist. Reporter a report found if the ayeah duct was aqueduct was shout down the city would be out of oil in 8 of days. If water in 8 days s. The city is taking action. The report and a new mayor forced the dep to confront the problems. Paul rush is Deputy Commissioner of the de perform, helping to lead a dep, and helping to lead a challenging project. There is billion will instruct a bypass tunnel and do sections. The new tunnel, upped the hudson, will bypass the locks. In the last face, the aqueduct will be shut for eight months to klent the bypass. Where does the city get water when you shift the aqueduct. Thats an excellent suggestion. Improvement could be made to the capacity. The dep is push, new yorkers to use less water. No one should notice. They shouldnt. This is a big deal for us. Reporter after decades of denying responsibility the d. P is stepping up dep is stepping up and addressing the human impacts. We are looking at creating a buy back programme. Most have taken the money, mostly empty lots and demolished houses will remain. Reporter how would you describe what its like to leave your house after 52 years . Actually. You are happy to have it behind you. I was happy to get out of here, as are a lot of people. Reporter a few hold outs are here, forced to pay the price duct. I amount go no choice. Id take a 50,000 lose. This is the place we are moving into, the place we were happy with. You know. The flooding came, now i know. Aint too darn much i can do. Reporter and not much new yorkers can do about it, except cross their fingers and hope the leaks are repaired before disaster strikes. Ageing infrastructure, a crisis going beyond roads and bridges that we have heard about. We are joined by casey, from the American Society of civil engineers. This event in los angeles this week an incredible amount of consciousness. You know, watermain breaks happen 240,000 times a year in the United States. Every two minutes theres a watermain break. Its a growing problem. One of the situations we have is many systems are reaching the end of design life. 50yearold systems, 80yearold, they are parts of Water Systems dating back to the civil war. We think of l. A. Being a new city. It has the ageing pipes as well any place in the country is vulnerable in this way. Absolutely. What is the connection between water and sewerage piping. Both systems are ageing. We did a report card on the nations infrastructure. We graded 16 categories of infrastructure, water and waste Water Systems. Both got ds. Not good grades considering how important the systems are. Because we have to think about Health Issues when we do that. Any kind of repairs, christoph noted would be expensive to do the replacement work. If you talk about the country. Its expensive. If you are looking on the Drinking Water side, theres a million miles of Drinking Water mains. If you replace that system, and we are not saying you need to. If you were to, it would cost 1 trillion, there is technology in the industry that allows experts to monitor the systems and to zero in on the parts of the pipes that are weakest. We could go about a programme of replacing the weakest and vulnerable parts of the system. That would be expensive. It would be expensive. You can look at it we like to see it as been investment. We did an Economic Analysis showing if we dont make the investments in water and waste water, we put at risk the g. D. P. And hundreds of thousands of jobs in the United States. Between the years 2011 and 2020, if we invest 84 billion over the 10 year period, we can protect over 700,000 jobs in the United States in over 400 billion in g. D. P. These are investments that pay off for the economy. People respond to what they see in front of them. People understand bridge repair and road repair. Would it make sense to point out this is where we are getting to the point where we are drinking unsafe water. Should be drink bottled water . No, the grades on the infrastructure is the systems, not the quality of the water. Theres high quality of water in the United States. We are losing trillions of gallons of treated water that we have invested in treating into the ground. Water disruptions are bad for business and households. And other infrastructure is impacted. Impacted. Thank you very much. Coming to us from the merp society of civil engineers. Thank you. Ahead in the next segment, the u. S.

The Immigration Crisis going on on the border, when we called the hotline for the k. K. K. There was a call for a shoot to kill law. How do you describe that. Hate. These people are criminals to begin with. They come in here, they get here, cross the borders and are breaking the law. Once they get across the border what makes you think theyll continue to stop breaking the law. They continue to break the law, diseases. These are little kids coming over, and you are calling for a shoot to kill, little kids. To me, they are breaking the law when they come.

Coming up next queer, with no get out of gaol free, an investigation into the price of freedom. A preview of a faultlines investigation into chasing bail. Next. American justice bears unique hallmarks, one the bailbond system, allows charged defenders to await charges out of bail for a price. On any given day several have not been convicted. They cant afford to make bail, giving rise to an element. Judicial system the bail bondsman. A multibillion industry that serves as a lender truly of the last resort. For al jazeeras faultlines, Sebastian Walker investigates. Reporter its 4 00 pm in the sack ramento suburbs. We are riding with a team of bounty hunters looking for a fugitive. This is someone who is charged with drug possession, on a 20,000 bail, and failed to turn up to court in december. Around 15,000 bounty operators operate in the United States. Bail Bond Companies hire them to track down criminal defenders who skipped their court dates. We are with rob, one of americas yamous bounty hunters. This is his partner. Its here. On the left side. Hey. Its in the court. The house to the last one on the left side. Reporter they are hunting for a woman charged with drug possession. If they cant find her the bondsman who bailed her out of gaol will owe the court 20,000. It is her. Ill do Something Like hey, thats your key to come in. Lets go. Reporter bounty hunters and the bail Bond Companies they work for are the core of a uniquely american industry. Commercial bail. Bail pond companies in the u. S. Earn over 2 billion every year. In all but four states the companies are able to take any measure necessary to capture a client, including crossing state lines and breaking into homes. Its an attention business for everyone involved, with few rules and little overside. Get your arms back, or a shoot them. Get your arms back before i shoot them. Get your dog in the room, now. What the hell. Well deal with the warrants, no big deal, okay. Put some pants on, let go. Whatever you need. Be careful what you are grabbing for, you know. Reporter seven months soing stevie was arrested for growing marijuana with an expired permit and possession of cocaine. Where is your id. A judge set her bail at 20,000. She couldnt afford it. Her father went to a bail bond company. For 10 down, 2,000, the company bailed her out of gaol. Watch your head. There you go. Reporter when stevie didnt show up to court, the with respect became liable for the full 20,000. How old are you . 21. Im 22 in october. Next . Ill be locked back up and probably stay in there until the court date. And now ill have to do it and get it out of the way. Thats how the system works. At the end of the day everywhere is doing their job. The u. S. And the philippines are the only countries in the world that allow private companies to bail people out of gaol at a profit. Under california bail rules stevie can get out of gaol by paying the same Company Another 1,000. The assumption that defendants who pay money up front are more likely to return to court is central to the way Justice Works in the United States. Every time someone is arrested, a judge must determine if they should be ipp cars rated or released before gaol. We would ask for low bail. Most defendants ask to be released for three, on the understand that they show up for a court date. I am concerned about the likelihood of returning. I will, i promise. Most have to say. Ill set the bail at 20,000. Reporter for bail bonds men the court is where the market is set. Each bail condition can mean a new pay day when defenders are willing to come up with 10 of bail to buy their release. Its the reason why this courthouse, like most others around the country, is surrounded by bail bond shops. In california, if its a 25,000 bond, and you amount got the money, i understand that you are innocent until proven guilty, but you will stay in gaol before you go to trial. Leopard is the face of the bail business in sacramento. This is some of you have. Rattle snakes, heard of them. Stick your tongue out. Returning to wildlife. Now semiretired. He says he spend more time in his office talking to his parrot than chasing fugitives. Leopard and rob used to star in a tv show. Tracking down fugitives no one else can find. Reporter leonard told us in sacramento courts set 12 million in bail every month. 12 million a month, 144 in a year. Thats 10 of the total penal amount in california, usually between a billion and a half and two billion. You take 8 of that, thats a big chunk of cash. You have people saying if we can get our hands on some of this, wed be in good shape. From your perspective its better that people get arrested. Then youd have to bail them out of prison. The more arrests, the more people are needed for bail. The more that skip, the better off i am. Were it not for crime, theres a lot of jobs that would not be available. We are the only ones in the business that dont make the money off the taxpayer. Which business . Everyone is in the crime business criminals, judge, defendant, ascertattorney, the guy that builds the gaol. They make money. Its a business. Chasing bail, saturday on faultlines, on 7 00pm eastern.

It shines a spotlight on his life and evokes memories from these that knew the god father of soul. Producer. I saw him many times. He was the best. Reporter jagger met brown in 1964 at the tammy show, an allstar concert filmed in california. The Rolling Stones took the stage after brown. One of them calling it the biggest mistake of their career. Brown was not going to let a bunch of kids steel the show from him. This may be the james brown most know, but browns corrections went contributions went beyond music. Those that knew him best say that legacy should be sell brighted. Who is james brown . Its a different question. He had a lot of different personality. Reporter filmmaker thomas hart produced the documentary james brown the man, the music, the legend. He expressed him on stage. He was a different guy offside. He believed in the community. He came from dirt poor circumstances. He never forgot where he left. Not poor, poor. He was someone that wroo reach down and would reach down and help someone come up. He opened the door and left it open for others to come behind him. Reporter browns influence on the black community is based on words and deeds. As the 1960s wore on. In 1968, after the assassination of dr Martin Luther king they turned to him for help. It was a dramatic time in his life, and the life of the nation. Urban centers all around the country blew up in flames. This concert in boston took place the day after dr king was killed. Many urged brown to cancel it. He justed the though go on. It was put on tv and kept people at home and off the streets. Boston was spared. Washington d. C. s u street corridor, historically black, was not as lucky as boston. It was the scene of intense rioting. Then brown showed up. Then he came to washington d. C. And did the same thing. Walked around the nations capital, and telling people in the community to take the second thought, dont react emotionally, dont destroy your community. Person. Reporter robert mousey thompson was a drummer, and we met him footsteps from where brown perform. What sticks out the most . He was more than a mousse sirn. He sings i feel good, the songs that make people smile, bring them toot. Is that the true bring them together. Is that the true message of james brown. The true message. It was not just love, but pride. In 1968, say it loud im black and ill proud, was the first song to boldly celebrate black culture. It became on anthem. Joe is the music director for university. Of course, with the song im black and im proud. That is a lot for africanamericans then. Back then you didnt describe yourself as black, you were a negro. Im black and im proud came up.
