Frustrating to watch the department decline. Why officers keep pointing in 1 of the most dangerous cities in america. Plus, classic rock. I always wanted to do something together, you know, and when question joined forces everything exploded. The classical duo how they are getting tens of millions of views online. There is no mistaking the danger posed by anthrax. One of the deadly youths substances in the world. So how can can the u. S. Army sent it to more than a dozen labs in nine states and south korea . Is thats the question many want to know tonight. So jamie we first heard that these life samples that they were live samples now Officials Say thats not the case can so what do we know about it. Quell how can i put this, it is isnt much that the samples werent life, that they werent as dead as they were supposed to be. Let me back up a minute. Ten this goes back to last year at the doug way proving ground. The u. S. Army has samples of anthrax, they kill the anthrax with radiation and they set the sample aside the purpose is to use the spores to detect devices and defenses against anthrax. Coal, one of the labs in maryland took that supposedly dead spore and were able to culture nit the laboratory, over several days into a live anthrax spore. That set off alarm bells. The earn went with back and tested the batch they discovered as i said, it wasnt quite as dead as it was supposed to be, and they issue as recall can for all of those very tiny amounts of anthrax that were sent around. Ingthey insist that the way these are handle there is probably no danger to anyone involved in the handling of this but they want to treat it as potentially lye anthrax virus, and the cdc is conducting an investigation to find out why this virus turned out to be not as dead as it should be been. So they are supposed to be up in rollized before they are shipped out . Absolutely. The whole idea is to use dead spores. Once it is lie situation thats completely different protocol. Live ever and now that they suspect they could be live esprotocol can to make sure they are tracked the entire way, and this a secure handover at the beginning and the end. So again the pentagon says no public to the public . At this point, no evidence that anyone was exposed the troops be i the way in korea, that were using this anthrax supposedly dead spores as part of a military exercise, most troops that are deployed overseas are already distinguish anc lax vaccine, but the commander ordered everyone to take antibiotics as a measure again, no one is exhibiting any signs of illness. We continue on this, despite the potential danger of anthrax, the department of defense keep as supply for residential. Its offer shipped to locations around the world. Science Technology Cor can respondent is in San Francisco with more on that. Jake why would the d. O. J. Mail something so dangerous rather than just keeping it in one mace . John, it is just that anthrax is a boogie man in the imagination of the account of defense. It is a very easy bio weapon. It is quite easy to get out into the world if you aerosol it it has terrible effects on the body. It calls all kinds of pulmonary problems and eventually respiratory failure. So the department of defense wants its sort of outer reaches its fort ohs away deployments to have field equipment ready to toast for it at any moment, and thats why they created the dug way proving ground and send it out into the world. As jamie mentioned trooped are vaccinated for it, it is just sort of a cause of great concern to the department of defense, and they go to Great Lengths to make sure theres enough of it, but enough of it out there that they can continually be testing for ways to be able to test for it so jake, are there any working theories on how it can wind up alive when everyone thought that the process as part of the process thought it was dead . Welshes this is really the question. It is Standard Operating Procedure to deactivate, kill searchly, anthrax with radiation. They radiate it, using machinery, typically at the dug way prying ground, and then send it out. You dont need living anthrax to detect it. So it should in theory have been killed, one thing to note here, is that it is a bacteria. It is not a static thing. Anthrax changes the way that all bacteria einvolves over time, i dont want to suggest this has suddenly become anc lax that is resistant to radiation, but it is something they have to look at, the suspicion here is this was a procedure roar of some sort. Some kind of equipment didnt work obviously now the question is what steps are missing in this process. There obviously was not a step in before it was shipped out it was double checked to make sure it was truly dead that kind of step is crucial. No uh that we have seen these tiny. As but still possibly living anthrax was mailed all over the world. Jake, that you have. Sean coffman is a bio security consultant, he was a member of the response team. During the 2001 anthrax attacks he is in birmingham, so sean, the pentagon said today that human error was probably not a factor, they also said it was a failure probably of failure in the technical process. How can can that be . I dont know that i am going to agree that human error was not a factor. There is a serb protocol that folks follow to make sure that anthrax in a spore form isnt activated. And typically what we with see is that an activation process is cut short or. Some reasons they didnt get enough inactivation time to be fully inactivated. If they mail it back and forth, whether it is act i or inactive is it pack canninged in the same stuff or is that different . Well, i think that it is. You definitely have to follow extra protocol. However, the packages that left from what i see the packaging that left the facility initially and went around the world, was sufficient enough to hold what we were most concerned about. So i dont think can that those who were with involved in the shipping process and the receiving process, would be at tavern rick. Definitely rick enough to take some extra precautions but i dont think at rick to cause a great alarm to the general public. Is it necessary, shawn, for the government to mail anthrax all around the country even if it is inactive . Absolutely. Shull. 100 . And i will tell you the reason why is that there is a chance to test whether there is a bio terrorist attack underway and these are critical in not only protecting the general public, be uh the troops that may be serving on the front line should a bio weapon be used. Sean coffman good to see you, thank you. Rain still falling and rivers still rising in texas and oklahoma tonight. 21 people have been killed in the flooding. Several others are still missing, many of them in the town of wimberly texas. Today family members talked about the on going search, Heidi Joe Castro is in wimberly tonight, heidi . Hi, john. So time is ticking here, its been almost four days since that historic flash flood hit the small tourist town, four bodies have been recovered from this town alone and still eight more are missing but rescue workers say they are not giving up. The search continues for two families swept away by floodwaters. The two children andrew and layton have been vacations randy, michelle, son quill and grandparents ralph and sue kerry. This is what is left of the house where they were staying. After the blanco river rose 30 feet in less than two hours and swept the home off its foundation, laura called her at the house floated down the river. Telling her sister that she loved her that was the last time the mother of two was heard from. I think recognizing what is happening with the wear, we all know and we have accepted that they are gone. The father, jonathon is so far the only known survivor, he is expected to recover from a collapsed lung broken stern numb, and broken ribs. She is absolutely devastated. He did everything he possibly could to save them. Miles downstream, in the next county, the body of Michelle Kerry was recovered tuesday, and a day later body of a still unidentified boy was discovered on the river bank now seven from the group are still missing. This effort is not over. We are 100 committed to finding laura andrew, layton randy will, ralph and sue. That task falls on an army of civilian volunteers. 32 National Guard troops deploy to the area. How high are you hoped of finding any kind of life . We never want to give up hope. As the clock ticks the search and rescue are prepared to come across more bodies. You know if you find that that you are giving that family peace and you are allowing them to have some closure. And john, when you hear those names spoken of the people still missing your heart just goes out to these families and the unimaginable suffering that they must be going through. Meanwhile, there are 72 other families here in wimberly, who lost their homes to the gnash floods they are going through the debris, and more than one with thousand other homes here were badly damaged. In iraq, car. Booings of two hotels that killed at least ten people, dozens more have been hurt. Twentyfirst explosion came just after just before midnight at the heavily ft. Fied babylon hotel. The second went off minutes later, police say the attacked appear to be coordinated. Now the weather in india. A severe heat wave has taken more than 1400 wifes. Temperatures have soared as high as 116 degrees. 34 have no choice but to prey the heat. Funerals have been taking place across the southern indian states. Nearly 1400 people have died there because of heat related illnesses. This woman died because of sunstroke. Most of the people who have died here are workers they do small jobs and they have no financial security. The government needs to help them. With the State Government pushing the death toll at more than 1,000. Indias Meteorological Department says temperatures have risen quickly and unexpectedly. Catching residents in the regions hottest areas by surprise p people are doing what they can to keep cool. Local governments are trying to raise awareness about illnesses like heat stroke. But in some areas there are fears these Public Service announcements are a little too late. In other parts hundreds of millions of people are also struggling in sweltering conditions. I have to cover up well, when i am travelling, it is easier for some people with air conditioning in cars these days i also try and go out in the morning or during the evening. The heat is great for my business. People are buying a lot more and drinking cool drinkers. Here in the cap can toll temperatures have consistently risen over 45 degrees celsius. Frequent power cut cans have compounded the misery and led to criticism of the state of the countrys infrastructure. The first rans of the annual monsoon season arent expected to hit until next week, and it will be at least a month until the forecast improves in northern indiana. India. Now to switzerland and a defiant stand by the governing body, calls for blatter to sit down. He says he will not resign, instead he is pushing forward with with his reelection bid for a record 50 material. In zurich, 24 hours after the department of justicish dated 14 fifa officials and associated with corruption can dating back more than 20 years, soccers global elite appearing to be carrying on as if nothing has happened. This is the Opening Ceremony of their annual get together in switzerland. Led by a defiance fifa boss, sepp blatter. If people want to do wrong, they will also try to hide it. But it must fall to me to be of responsibility, for the reputation and well being of our organization. Blatter who and likely to win a fit term is refusing to go, despite many calls for him to step aside. The most important thing is that mr. Blatter after many years steps down, and someone else takes his place someone whoves in transparency, and honesty. I feel insulted and i am sick of it. And enough is enough i can tell you tomorrow at the election of the president a very very large majority of the European National associations will vote for prince ali. Prince Ali Ben Hussein of joe dan is the europeans preferred candidate, yes, sir it is t no clear if he can get new votes meanwhile in africa, south africa is hitting back at allegations from the d. O. J. , that i paid 10 milliondollars in bribes to secure the 2010 world cup. We as a government, and our peopling maaing the resources of the South African can people we did not share part of your resources with criminals. I am saying it now and forever. Also hitting back, accusing the d. O. J. Of traying to rain on his parade in the world cup. This is an obvious attempt to prevent mr. Blatter from being reelected to the fifa presidency, which can is a grey violation of principles, of international organizations. And russia is where the probe is set to have begun amido concerns the Selection Process and the 2022 tournament in qatar were rigged. Both countries deny any impropriety. Federal prosecutors also say there was similar practices meanwhile, it is difficult to see how this can end with rein sort of united voice. The likeliness remains he will be reunited which will meet with division yet much of the rest of the world russia africa can and asia, seems firm in its support for him. There is, of course, a nuclear option. That will be the end of fifa, and the world cup. This has been tolerated for so long, because people dont want to see the world cup go they love it. Thank you. Former House Speaker has had his own federal indictment to deal with. The indictment charges him with lying to the fbi about it charges say he was paying off someone to cover up misconduct, but it did not say what that misconduct was. Coming up next, another stake calls for an end to common core and why supporters say thats a mistake. And the words old ohs who done it, may have found a four 0,000yearold murder case. [baseball crowd noise] [x1 chime] [crowd cheers] oh i cant believe it [cheering] hi, grandma new jersey is stepping out of the federal Education Program called common core. Governor Chris Christie made the announcement today and he says the curriculum just doesnt work, and theres a growing number of people who agree. A speech laced with politics and parenting. I want even classroom to be a place where learning occurs for every student. New jersey governor a potential president ial candidate, takes on one of the big issues. Common core. It is dividing families politicians and teachers alike. Its now been five years since common core was adopted and the truth is it is not working. On thursday, christie announced he is pulling his state out of the standardized curriculum. Instead of solving problems its creating morale problems in those classrooms and at home. When we arent getting the job done, we need to do something different. Christie has company several states have rejected common core, saying it puts too much pressure on teachers and students to meet imposed benchmarks that have more to do with money than education. But proponents sharply disagree. Saying common core is working helping children compete with kids around the world giving them a Solid Foundation for the future. The common core can state Standards Initiative was sponsored by the National Governors association, and the council of chief state School Officers in 2009. 46 states signed on in an effort to standardized basic subjects for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. All the countries at the top of the before rankings they do not test yearly. It is a growing battle in local communities some parents embrace it, others opt out of the testing what is clear is the fight is far from ore. Eric is a new jersey resident and edge kay can tor, and a supporter of common core, he is also the former Vice President of National Policy for the nonprofit students first he is in our studio tonight. Thank you. What do you think of kristys move . I think it is disappointing and confusing . Why. Just five years ago he was one of the leading governors and a great commissioner, they were getting around a lot of reform, and then you contrast that today that he ising is guesting they were developed in washington thats not true. He is saying common core doesnt work, but he has a commission that doesnt deliver a report, so i am not sure. A governor that may be running for president some of what he said may be politic call, but theres plenty who strongly disagree. Who think they shouldnt be toasted they should be educated what do you say to them. I thirst first it is important to differentiate the testing from the standards. I think theres a lot of fervor around the testing this been frustration, and parents are feeling confused like maybe they are being overtested. They feel they are being taught for the toast. Right. But thats not the standard themselves. Well, they are being taught the standards in order to take the test. Sure i am just going to lay out some of the arguement, the arguement is that the real education of their children is not happening because this program, is getting in the way. What do you say to that . What i would suggest is what governor cristty said today wont do anything about that because he indicated they are sticking with the tests. But tell me why it is a good thing . Why this program why you believe it is good for children . Because less than half the students in new jersey are proficient in reading in the 8th grade. Less than half. When you look at the achievement gap within with the state, it is even worse. Double dibble gaps between students that are well off and white students. And the argument is you institute when they arent ready and didnt start them at kindergarten. Argument is you need stan cards early, the research is really clear that students of color, low income, they are met with lower expectations what we know about teaching is when you give Higher Standards the kids rise to the occasion can. If you dont prepare for them. We have to prepare them even younger. Isnt that the problem . Part of the problem that they are talking about. We have to separation the frustration is not related to the parents whose students are being underserved and who need better education. I know you say the parents move wont go very far but what if it does . I think that real leadership right now would be to say we are listening to concerns we
