and he said to me, quote: someone who is qualified to drive a train. it's not a union driver. they are on strike. so what we think may have been happening here is that bart has kept some trains running. they say that they keep them running for service and for maintenances during this strike, perhaps to keep the tracks in working order. they certainly are entitled to run their own trains. so it's unclear who was behind the wheel of the train. we know it was not a striking worker. we do know, though, that two people were killed and that there are investigators on the scene right now trying to learn more about how this happened. it was between two bart subs, not too far away from here. >> as you mentioned, lisa, this comes amidst tension negotiations over the strike there in san francisco >> reporter: that's right. the negotiations are extremely tension here, and the community is extremely upset with the shutdown in service. it's unclear on a saturday afternoon what was happening with bart managers or those who are still in charge of bart. as i said, perhaps they are keeping the trains running to keep the tracks going. but certainly, they were preparing to hold a news conference to respond to a union proposal this morning or a union discussion that was in regards to the strike. the union this morning said they would let their members vote on bart's proposal. now, they said they expect the members to give a resounding kn "no" and that they would not end the strike. but here we have bart managers preparing to give a news conference to respond to this latest move in a chess game by the bart unions. and instead now, they are shifting gears to a crime scene where two people have been killed on bart tracks. >> it is certainly al radical departure from what we were going to talk about. lisa barnard in san francisco, thank you so much for that report. we will check in with you a little later. j.p. morgan chase could pay a record fine over practices ahead of the financial crisis. a deal calls for the bank to $9,000,000,000 to the federal government and $4,000,000,000 to struggling homeowners. banks still face a criminal investigation by the justice department. portugal is struggling with a harsh recession and many there have frankly had enough. thousands protested today against the government's austerity measures. marches took place in the capitol of listsbon and the northern city of p porto. people trying to make ends meet: >> the portuguese government says light is beginning to shine through the gloom. the first hints of economic growth are showing after years of recession. but here in porto it's hard to find signs of it. and so the latest austerity measures brought thousands of people out onto the streets. in a march organized by the trade unions. >> reporter: mistaken are these people are angry with portuguese government's latest budget which raises taxes on people earning as little as 600 euros a month. they are pinning irtheir hopes on the companyr country's constitutional court which has rejected some of the government's austerity measures. >> the union members tend to be older workers. the young are more often in casual labor and have much higher levels of unemployment. in a porto back street, i med pedro, a nurse in a state hospital. like many of his colleagues, he is on strike this week. tra >> we have a bigger workload. this means we have worked more hours and have less money >> reporter: nearby, i met mario in his bar where he mixes cocktails and worries about how far customers walk through the door. >> we invest our money in our business or to improve our business, and nowadays, it's almost impossible. we have to fire some people, getting some cuts, from two years now almost, and next year, i think it will be the same. and it's been a struggle for us >> reporter: in the capitol, lisbon, there were also protests. workers drove hundreds of buses over the river tagus after the government said crowds would not be allowed to marriott bridge because of safety concerns. back in porto, they filed through the city center. the sign says: enough! meaning we can take no more. right now, the portuguese don't quote know where to look for the signs of recovery but the government process they are on the horizon. it allians protest against cut backs there. tens of thousands of people were marching in rome when chaos broke out. people wearing hoods broke into the demonstration, used sticks to attack police in riot gear and set fires and used smoke bombs. police arrested 15. the mars come after italy announced a new budget. many italians do not believe it will create jobs or pull the country from its recession. up here in the northeast, it's been frankly a beautiful day. lots of sunshine. some storms are brewing in other parts of the country. we want to go to rebecca stevenson to talk more about the weather here and overseas and frankly, all across the country. rebecca, what's going on out there?

>> i don't think he will face that big of a fight. he is no that high profile and not that pollarizing and i mean that by looking apt other people but there has been some criticism. he is a big campaign donor. lots of presidential have. including tom ridge. >> that raises a question of whether he is qualified >> republicans have been criticizing campaign doanor aspect of the story and there are some questioning credentials. homeland security is a role you can tab whether it be law enforcement, whether it be someone with a legal background which jay johnson has. the previous few secretaries, chertoff, napolitano, and ridge were lawyers. >> napolitano was a governor and had a lot of experience with border issues that he does not have. >> exactly. i think actually the most credible sort of questioning of his credentials would go to the fact that he does not have immigration experience. most of his work has been in the pentagon itself as general counsel under president obama, under bill clinton also in the air force's general counsel and a long practice dealing with security issues like drones and questioning about striking, you know, u.s. silverians link today overseas so he has a history in that area, not in immigration, not with management of a 220,000 bureaucracy, the size of homeland security. >> when you hear him say he thinks the war on terror should not be evenedless is one of the statements he made, what do you think he means by that? >> he made that statement, i believe it was this week that he made that statement before in speeches he made when he left government to the oxford union and at yale law school. i think we will see him pick a big role in terms of whether or not some of these programs might be wrapping down over the next, you know, course of a few years. however. >> what kind of programs programs do you think he may wrap down? >> there is a question of sort of when the legal authority for this war has ended. he has made statements to the fact that this is not aver ever ending war with who it end he have with to look at the scope of the war. he has looked at this with regard to drones and libya intervention. he was the one that pushed obama to say it could only go within 60 days. he has been on both sides of the issue. he has come under attack from war hawks and people who want us to be, you know, pulling in on you our drone campaign. it will be interesting to see. cyber is another area that falls under the homeland squared umbrella so he doesn't really have much of a record in that arrest but he does in terms of legal issues. there are lots of legal issues in the sigh ber doe man. >> long time lawyer and has experience when it comes to that. thank you, terra. we appreciate it. texans are lobbying in san antonio. more than a thousand people turned out armed with rifles and shot guns. >> that's where we find hieidi joe castro. what is this realally all about? >> jonathan, earlier today, as you said, there was a siege of armed protesters here more than a thousand people armed with rifles, shot guns, anything that qualifies as a long gun in texas, anything with a long barely and they were loaded weapons as well. these protesters showed up to in their words, normalize these weapons which under texas state law is legal. they called this protest in the first place because they say there is a san antonio ordinance that's in conflict with the state law. they discovered that when three of their members, pro gun members were cited for disorderly conduct outside of a coffee house a short time ago because they were sitting there with their rivals and police did a citizens arrest of hear them. they called this, this rally in protest of that. also, to show the world in their words that these gun owners can be non-violent and peaceful while still taking up their second amendment rights. jonathan? >> what do they say about the tourists out there who are honestly concerned about seeing people walking around with guns 1234 do they not think this may be just the image alone of people carrying large guns like this maybe hurts their cause? >> you know, jonathan, i asked them that because certainly this morning, there were many more protesters than pedestrians and tourists here and a futurists who i spoke to, some were curious, engaging in conversations with these protesters, while others just turned around and left and didn't want to bring their small children where they thought an accident or something else could happen. when you ask the protesters, how is this furthering your cars? they say visibility e special lick as an iconic, that language of romance dating back to the battle of the alamo. they think that contributes to their image and they see this as a revolution, much like the texas revolution. for them, they are defending their gun rights which they see is under attack. >> getting attention there thank you. darren haynes is here with sport. coach baum passes away. >> the n.f.l. lost a coaching legend. he was 90 years old. he served for 11 seasonses, six with the houston oilers during love you blue hay day and fight with the new orleans saints. he rebuilt them into a play-off team. he was known for his funny sense of humor and trademark cowboy hat. alex's rodriguez's appeal hearing say a-rod's camp is shelling out money for biogenesis documents. he said he authorized it in return for bio genersis documents. >> haynes, that's a look at sports headlines at this hour. >> thanks, darren. a common nuisance across north america and europe. now, there is a clever new way to fight back against canadian geese, of all things. >> every morning from 6 to 10am al jazeera america brings you more us and global news than any other american news channel. find out what happened and what to expect. >> start every morning, every day, 6am to 10 eastern with al jazeera america. that's all i have an real money. victoria azarenko . welcome back to al jazeera america. i am jonathan betz. we want to go book to the breaking news from san francisco. two people have been killed. this comes against strike negotiations. lisa, what have you learned? >> reporter: the bart deputy police chief who i spoke with did confirm that two people were killed along a stretch of tracks hit by a bart train and we now know that those were indeed two bart employees. they were along the tracks, a train came along and hit them, and they are both dead, and there are emergency crews as well as police officers on the scene now investigating. the deputy chief referred to it as a crime scene. he says more will be learned action of course, as they continued their investigation, but it seems that trains were still running despite the strike here in the bay area they awere not picking up passengers but running for maintenance, for security reasons to keetch the tracks in good working order perhaps. we also have heard in recent weeks that there could be some bart managers driving some of those trains in an effort to possibly resume some services during a strike in the bay area. several sources had said bart managers were being trained to drive the trains. unclear, of course, if that was the case today. i asked the deputy chief who was driving the train, and he said someone, quote, who was qualified to drive a train but not a union worker, he said. they are on strike. now, an investigation, bart switches gears. they were getting prepared to hold a news conference in responses to the latest move by the un ions, the unions claiming earlier today that they would indeed allow their members to vote on bart's latest best and final offer. prior to today, the unions said they would not allow their unions to vote on it. now, they will although they expect a resounding no but they said they would put it to a vote. bart is scrambling to deal with this latest situation. we expect to he more shortly. >> it is a horrible turn for bart thank you so much. a 15-year-old school bill in france was on a school trip when she was detained by police in front of her classmates. then she was departed along with her entire family to kosovo. after protests in the streets across france, the president now says the girl can return to france but only if she leaves her family mind. more from paris on this controversial immigration case. >> leo narda dibrani has won her battle to return to france but she is not happy with the offer from the president she described as heartless. only leonarda, not her family, would be allowed back from kosovo. ? >> the president did not understand my situation at all, not at all. and i think he hasn't even considered our case. he probably did it because of politics but i am not a dog to be dragged by the arm. i am not animal. during the week, her case brought thousands of protesting students out onto the streets appalled at the way her case was handled. now, the president admits it was heavy handed to detain leonarda in front of her hands but the expulsion, itself, was legal. if she requests and wants to continue her education in france, she and only she would be welcomed. france, as i said, is the republic. it means firmness in the application of the law. it also means humanity in the application of the procedures. >> the president's difficulties with this case are not over yet. the leader of his own socialist party says that the entire family with the exception of the father should be allowed back. while the interior minister is reported as saying that he will quit if leonarda is allowed to return to france. >> president orland is caught between those who are outraged at the treatment of some asylum seekers and others demanding tougher immigration laws. >> in canada, many rally against fracking. the royal canadian mounted police have responded. protesters rallied against the project. five police vehicles were set on fire. it's unknown who is to blame. 40 demonstrators were arrested. >> the search continues for a 14-year-old autistic boy who walked out of his school in new york city two weeks ago. the case has drawn attention to the needs of autistic children in the classroom. kaelynn ford has more >> reporter: like any other new york teenager, he loves running in the park, playing with his ipad and going to school. >> all right. we are going up. >> alex is autistic and cannot speak. >> those, you can have. are you sure you want those? i will open it for you. his father, ken, is a single parent and takes care of him full-time. school is a break for both of them. >> alex going to school every day, again, he gets the opportunity to,his own people and have, i think, a degree of freedom, you know, from me, and it's the same for me, vice versa in that i get a little bit of a break that really, i think, allows us to be closer actually. alex takes classes here at a public school just for students with special needs. each classroom has just six students bur some advocates for the oughtistics say students benefit more being included in classrooms. >> people with disabilities and people without disabilities are better served when we can go to school together. that doesn't simply mean dropping a student with a disability in a public school classroom and say, good luck. god speed. sink or swim. no. what true inclusion means is providing the supports, the services, the teacher training and the individualized education planning to insure that that student has the opportunity to succeed. >> the rate of autism in america has been increasing, one in 88 children have been diagnosed with some form of the disease. like many severely autistic children, he needs constant supervision to stay focused and keep him from running away. many schools aren't prepared to integrate these students >> we need the budget to be able to provide specialized services. more than, that we need training. what i have found is that most of my students and still in restrictive environments, because they have the potential to be in these mainstream settings if they have the support. ken hopes alex can go to a mainstream school some day but now it's about moving him forward and sometimes catching up. kaelynn ford, al jazeera, new york. earlier lease a goin joined us to discuss educating autistic including her son >> we have worked closely with our school system. >> he is in a public school with kids who are not autistic and how does that work with you? how does it work with him? is it a challenge? >> so i think it's a fluid process so there are times when it's easier than other times but i think it's something that the family needs to work with the school district to constantly be monitoring the goals we are working on and if the setting is appropriate for him to meet those goals that's what we have been working on. >> what do you tell your school that they need to be on the watch for, for instance with your son >> every person with autism is different. >> for him, his challenges are more in terms of attentional issues and maybe not staying on task as much. so, it really depends upon the individual learner and what they need in order to succeed. >> when you he about this new york team who walked out of the school several weeks ago and has been missing ever since, what is the first thing that comes to your mind about this case >> we know approximately 50% of kids with autism do wander. so for a parent of any child but certainly for a pafrment with a child with autism, it's one of their worst nightmares. you couple that with the fact this child doesn't speak. he can't ask for help. he can't necessarily communicate that he is lost. so it's just, you know, so heart breaking. >> so what kind of thing should be in place at schools that have children like this >> it's important that schools provide training and ongoing training. the news of the students change there needs to be support throughout the school building and autism speaks has developed a school community tool kit cool for anyone to download and that provides information for differently school members about how to interact with individuals' autism. >> what are the benefits of having autistic children put into mainstream schools >> for some students, they do well in mainstream schools but they need supports. you want them to be fully included as much as they can be within their community, and the best place to start is in your schools. >> thanks to lisa goring with autism speaks. wild birds can be a nuisance. their waste can actually spread disease. getting rid of them is not easy. if you are in canada, you might call goose busters to get the job done. daniel lack tells us more. >>. >> they flock to our parks for food. what they leave behind is unsightly and documentsic. they spread garbage and disease. sea gulls and canada was have longed plagued ottawa's petri island. what to do with them? >> in the capitol still, they called in drone strikes. the founder of a company called goose busters buzzes the beach-bound birds with remote control helicopter did. he stays well clear so they don't get hurt, but they want no part of his swooping aircraft. >> i gently harass them or scare them and they will fly off to another area. they will get to an area where they are not being harassed and all of their colleagues will follow them. >> so far, it's working. fewer birds are coming. beach goers play in presteen sands while steve's chopper p patrols nearby. >> i think it's a fabulous idea to be able to bring the kids to the beach like this and have it clean, no birds bothering you when you are trying to eat and we are not harming the birds at all. >> next year, air patrols could happen over other water front parks if ottawa city council approves. there is global interest in goose busters?
