Congress refused to allow them too file for bankruptcy. A group of economists in a report this week recommended the island improve tax collection and cut back on spending. The government ace that will lead xrm says that will lead to a death spiral and more will leave the island. Randall pinkston talks about problems much territories like porto rico. Reporter more than 4 million americans live in island territories, but do not have the same rights as mainland. In the caribbean, people in porto rico and Virgin Islands and in pacific, residents of gaum and Mariana Islands in have u. S. Citizenship. People born on American Samoa do not. None have the right to vote for president , but have nonvoting delegates that speak for them in congress. These citizens na contributed and sacrificed so much cannot vote for the commander in chief. This is a serious number of americans we are talking about. Reporter civil rights reporter was raised on gaum and started the we the People Project to win equal rights and representations for american citizens, no matter where they live. They have to follow federal laws like everyone else and based on the democratic and constitutional principles they deserve the right to vote for president and voting members of Congress Like everyone else. Reporter one law they do not have to abide by is paying federal income taxes. But they receive federal benefits, such as Social Security medicaid and medicare. I think most territories would happily pay the same amount of federal income taxes if they are treated the same in terms of federal benefits. Reporter most benefits remain law to those allocated to states on the mainland. The inability to vote has a correlation to the poverty, disenfranchisement in areas that the people of these islands experience. Reporter Veterans Benefits are a touchy issue for islanders. Samoa had the number one recruiting station for the u. S. Army. Gaum has one of the highest concentrations of veterans, but limited facilities. Trisha is a gaum native who served in afghanistan from 2010 to 2011. If i had to get treatment, lets say from a psychologist or someone, you know who is in a capacity to give me you know treatment i meet for p. T. S. D. Or others i have to fly myself to hawaii. Reporter only those in porto rico raised the issue of statehood. Believing becoming the 52nd state would give them more benefits. I would like to make it a state. Its more than being used for benefits. We need a stronger relationship. With that more benefits will come to the island. Benefits and responsibilities the right to vote and the federal tax bill joining us now from washington d. C. Is justin the executive director and founder of the national porto rico chamber of commerce. We appreciate your time this evening. Porto rico misses the payment. What is next . Theyll have to come up with a restructure plan. The reason they chose to miss that are this payment they could have found the funds, but they chose to miss the payment as a form of strategy. They want to prove that they are not going to cry wolf that they are running out of money and have to default on a loan, choosing one that has the least remedial measures and least problematic for the future. At this point they hope negotiators from the lenders, perhaps representing congress will come to the table and say you are serious, what can we do. The analyst say they have enough money to last through september. What happens when the money runs out in september . All right. They better figure something out. Believe me lenders want their money back. Theyll negotiate one way or another. Also congress and d. C. I think theyll have a little more pressure. I am sure they wont give them a bail out. Theyll have a low interest loan. They may consider letting them file for chapter nine which is unavailable to them like every other municipality so they may be afforded the courtmonitored restructure. But the best hope is a plan that again, is approved by lenders, accepted by them and hopefully beneficial to porto rico. Who, if anybody, hailed porto rico . Its been a combination, outputted on the image of porto rico. Its been a series of overspending for decades. Theyve been entirely too dependent on the examine inventives on the incentives that the u. S. Offered. There has been impediments hurting porto rico. They knew they would have existed, they should have planned for that. Spent accordingly on benefits and other resources that people knew would help them to get through financially. They have chosen against a path that led to this point at this point, how is the life of the average puerto rican affected by this if at all . It is certainly substantially. Unemployment is officially 12. Something per cent. It doesnt count the economy, and its twice that. So its a vast number of Unemployed People who dont have a huge incentive to work because there arent jobs defined. Benefits will be cut back for those that can afford to take care of themselves. Government employees 23 of the number of employees on the island. 23 are hired by the government now, imagine that will be cut. Its huge. Theres a number of ways across the bored that they are hurting. All right, this will have to be resolved at some point, quite soon. Justin thank you for your in sight on this we appreciate it. Thank you president obama will have to wait longer to announce the biggest free trade deal history. The president and counterparts from 11 asian nations failed to come to an agreement in talks on the Transpacific Partnership team. Andrew thomas reports on why. Reporter this was supposed to be the moment to announce the biggest trade deal history. The summit in hawaii lasting four days, but overall Transpacific Partnership negotiations have been going on for more than five years. The ministers claims of meaningful progress rang hollow. This was certainly anticipated to be a make or break summit for the talks. Are you, therefore, disappointed that you are not able to announce at least a deal in principle . There are, of course, at the end of the day, a limited number of difficult issues that require additional attention to be resolved. I feel very gratified about the progress that has been made. Each country had its own priorities. For australia and new zealand, it was access to markets for agriculture, vietnam, clothing, japan and mexico motoring industries. I am sure you are aware that the Auto Industry in mexico is the seventh largest producer and in the world, and the fourth largest exporter. Obviously mexico has a deep interest. Probably you can accuse me is putting myself to the front to push the interest of my country. Deadlock in one area prevented progress in others. Tariff reductions were in play alongside general discussions on common regulations. Not just for trade but also production. Thats where critics were concerned. Ministers would concede on Environmental Standards or labour regulations, if they got their way on tariff reductions. Big business would be given more power over consumers. The lengthening of copyright, banning the generic drugs from repeating the brand name for longer concerned those that the poorest couldnt pay the highest costs. With no deal, campaigners are celebrating. For us, this is it a victory. We have seen several countries, australia comes to mind, standing up saying we are not going to trade away health this week, no matter how hard you lean on us. That makes a big difference to everyone glad to see that outcome. The staff to the u. S. President ial campaign say january is an u. N. Official u. N. Official deadline for the t. P. P. A deal that needs to be ratified by the National Governments and u. S. Congress before then. Without president obama pushing it momentum could disappear. No deal reached here in hawaii. Some disappointments on the stage with the ministers. Theres no date set yet either for further talks. The minister says it will go on the aeroplane debris discovered on the remote Indian Ocean Island of reunion is in the hands of french officials, to be examined at a Government Lab at the Southern City of toulouse. Investigators hope the Sophisticated Technology will help them identify the debris. Well gind out if its the miss find out if its the missing debris from mairlaysia airlines mh370. This is the ministry where pt investigation is taking place, some of the buildings behind me similar investigations have taken place in recent years. We are in the hub of the European Aviation industry here. Its believed the focus of this investigation is going to start to look at what is reported as potentially a serial number on this piece of debris. The malaysian authorities saying that this offers conclusive proof that it comes from a boeing 777. If that is the case then logically one has to think that it does come from mh370 because there hasnt been any disasters of that plane over ocean since the plane came into circulation, since it was started to be flown. We hear that theyll look at trying to establish how long the debris has been in the water. Oceanographers say its not unlikely that this piece of debris may have floated around 4,000km from the area where its believed the plane went down to the coast of the island of reunion. Whatever happens, theres a lot of hope that this debris could begin seriously to answer questions for the hundreds if not thousands of friends and families of victims of mh370, as to exactly what happened on that night, march the 8th last year the f. A. A. Is investigating two incidents in which airplane crews spotted a drone flying near them as they were landing at a new york airport. It happened on friday at John F Kennedy airport, one of the nations busiest airports. One of the planes came within 100 feet of the drone. Flying just under the southwest side of the airport. What would you say that was. About 100 feet blow us. Earlier, a jetblue pilot reported a drone. Drones are banned from flying above 400 feet and not supposed to fly within 500 miles of an airport wut notifying without netifying the control tower 23 wildfires are burning, putting stress on crews.

Everything from the palestinianisraeli situation, to libya, to the issues of i. S. I. L. Iraq and syria. Even so it wasnt until march that the white house decided to resume aid for security regions, including efforts with i. S. I. L. Fighters. The u. S. Aid comes with conditions. Washington decides what cairo can have analysts say this is how the u. S. Will pressure cairo on political and human rights. If the Egyptian Government does not take steps in dralsing the issues no amount of weapons that the United States can give no recalibration that it can do can it have a fundamental impacts on fixing cairos security problems.
