The heavy metals have settled out a yellowish water line stain the only visible reminder of the spill morning 50 miles up river. Contamination from mines in that area is a constant problem. But contamination on this scale is startling. You put 3 million gallons of water in all at once and it travels a lot farther and so, you see, you know, this or i think stuff it looked like paint which it came through on friday in durango and it shock the people i think. Reporter in a region built on mining spills like this are not new. The accidental release of sludge is a reminder of the challenges poses by 10050 years of minute trail he is stanchion in the west its mated 150,000 old mines from the rockies to the pacific.

It looks fairly normal right now. Its what you cant see, of course, thats a certainty point. What exactly is it that has settled down and now sit on this bottom. What is the mix of the various heavy metals involved . And what kind of threat does it pose to human beings, irrigation and drinking without third future.

However its speaking to me saying, i have these problems i dont have enough water. I am not drawing up the nutrients so you need to cut me off else i will die. Reporter the tainted water flowing south along the rivers also means he has to keep his horses and cattle from the river and give them water from a nearby municipal line. Officials say the toxic discharge is full of led, arsenic, and other heavy metals. Now those living downstream whose livelihoods are tied to the river are preparing for the worst. In farmington, new mexico, officials are encouraging residents to bring water samples from home to be tested. Ryan flynn is secretary of the new Mexico Environment department. He says so far, it doesnt look like the spill has affected local drinking wells. Shortterm i think we are going to focus on the chemistry in the river and how that is interacting with the contaminants, how the refer is influencing the ground water and that gives us enough to get people using water again or knowing, you know when, it will be safe to do so by treating it longterm, its too early to tell. Reporter both new mexico and Navajo Nation have declared states of insurgent. You know, i dont know why its still spilling or how soon it will be before it stoppings, i think those are really good questions for e. P. A. And questions we have been asking them.

These chemicals and heavy metals are leached in to the river for the last 150 years, while we had a big surge of it. Its a pretty fastmoving river as you can see, it clears out pretty quic quickly as far as te surface water self the tests look good. Does the concern about heavy metals in the water, has that ever been a concern for your customers in the past . I dont know that i have specifically heard that concern.

There has been a Major Development tonight in the Hillary Clinton email controversy just a few moments ago the Clinton Campana announcessed they will hand over her personal email server to the Justice Department. It includes a thumb drive with all of her workrelated and personal emails. The news comes hours after state Department Reports said some of the emails in clintons private server were classified as top secret. Probe of emails clinton kept when she was secretary of state now includes several top aids n march clinton refuse today turn it over saying it could contain sensitive discussions with her husband bill clinton. Here is what she said at the time. The server contains personal communications from my husband and me and i believe i have met all of my responsibilities and the server will remain private. The key question that Hillary Clinton has to bet on now is if the fbi and Justice Department can keep any Sensitive Communications with her husband out of public view. And that is a risk that she can no longer afford not to take. Given the political pressure all of this. We are going talk about michael talk with michael about the politics in just a moment. But first, there is also a big speech tonight on the republican side of the 2016 president ial campaign coming from jeb bush during his first Foreign Policy address earlier this year, jeb bush declared that he is his own man. But in his speech tonight, mr. Bush is expected to embrace his familys Foreign Policy doctrine. Also expected to attack Obama Administration and Democratic Front runner Hillary Clinton for leaving iraq zoo soon. Mike viqueira al jazerra i havee on this. The regular an library in california. In the speech he will try to get past his stumbles on iraq, a lot of exexpert exerts of the speed earlier in the day and turnal tables and go on offense against the Democratic Front runner Hillary Clinton. This en count never may crystallized a major problem for jeb bush. On the subject of iraq, obviously very controversial. Knowing what we know now, would you have authorized the invasion . I would have. And so would have hill run clinton. Reporter since the stumbles, bush has tried to quick at this turn the page and backtrack on his comments, now hes trying to turn the tables and lashing out on Hillary Clinton and casting blame on her and president obama for the collapse of iraq and the rise of isil. According to exerts released by his campaign he will say tonight who can argue that american and our friends are saferrer tonight than in 2009 when the president and secretary clinton. The storied team of rivals, took office. He will also lash out for, in bushs view, leaving iraq to defend itself. On even though the withdraw began under his brother, george w. Bush deliberation of iraq the liberation of iraq is a crucial advance in the campaign against terror. Reporter the victory claimed by george w. Bush turned out to be a fantasy. And the 2003 invasion remains deeply unpopular. Even among many republicans. But in remarks tonight, bush will call for a new offensive against what he calls global jihad. Its the theme of an internet video released by his campaign tuesday. We see it with these new threats of barbaric islamic terrorism in the middle east. And homegrown terrorism in our own country. Reporter bush has been under pressure conservatives to attack Hillary Clinton. Who in a recent speech mocked the, but Campaign Slogan right to rise. I dont think you can credibly say that everyone has a right to rise and then say you are for phasing out medicare or for repealing obama care. At this hour, american and Coalition Forces reporter bush has been reluctant to criticize his brother and his father, george h. W. Bush but. In another Foreign Policy address earlier this year he tried put daylight between them. But i am my own man and my views are shaped by my own thinking and my own experiences. Reporter now jeb bush is going on offense. Trying to change the narrative of his familys Foreign Policy legacy. And satisfy supporters by hitting back at Hillary Clinton. And david, despite all of that, jeb bush reportedly told a private gathering in manhattan back in may, that one of his chief advisers on the middle east, wait for it, was none other than his brother george w. Bush. And the Foreign Policy advisers that the Jeb Bush Campaign has announced of the 21, 19 worked for either president george w. Bush or george heads hw bush. Mike, thank you very much. Lets bring in michael shore at the Ronald Reagan lie flare seem i, california where jeb bush will deliver this major Foreign Policy speech top, we heard about the policys at the time us about the politics driving jeb bush to make the speech tonight. As you heard in the package there, david, a lot of focus will be on Hillary Clinton as well. What the other side is doing. You know, there is something to be said for taking the posture of the nominee even when you are not the nominee. Talk about your opponents. The problem that jeb bush has is distancing himself from the record of his brother. He will stand here tonight and actually criticize Hillary Clinton and barack obama. Of getting out to iraq and not criticize going to iraq in the first place. Thats a problem with that a lot of voters have in evaluating him. They want to see him be his own man. Reporter as far as Hillary Clinton, can she now trust the department of justice and the fbi to keep sensitive emails about her husband out of public view . You know, its hard to say that. She did say at a press conference earlier this year this is why she didnt want to turnover her personal drives at home. They are with her personal attorney and shes ordering it to be turned over, that becomes the risk. The bigger risk is the cumulative effects of the question marks that pop up around benghazi and these emails things that have dogged the clintons whether right or wong wrong for years, they have a cumulative effect thats where the politics become a problem. The personal email i think will probably stay personal, its the classified emails that will be the problem. Tonight the state department is saying trying deflect any blame to clinton they were circulated among is this is job kerby saying they were circulated among Department Employees and ended up in inadvertently on the secretarys server. Is it smart damage control for Hillary Clinton given the story that broke earlier today that some of the information on her private emails contained even more classified information than previously understood for Hillary Clinton to respond to that by saying, okay, i will provide the independent server you can he create the emails i deleted. Have at it. Smart damage control on her part . Yeah, it is part of damage control. I dont think she want third degree to happen. And i dont think she thought it was going to happen. The state department seemed to assure here all the way. There are two of the four emails that they are looking at right now, that received this top secret compartmented sensitive information, classification which is among the highest that the state department in the Intelligence Community gives, the Inspector General said we have to have these. We have to have
