Something to that office. Woodruff and from guatemala, a look at efforts to save children from malnutrition and its lifelong effects, in a country where many families survive on beans, and little else. Its a staple meal here in the predominantly mayan highlands of guatemala. One containing so few of the vitamins and minerals children need to grow properly that roughly eight in ten of them are stunted in some communities, woodruff those are just some of the stories were covering on tonights pbs newshour. Major funding for the pbs newshour has been provided by moving our economy for 160 years. Bnsf, the engine that connects us. Supported by the john d. And catherine t. Macarthur foundation. Committed to building a more just, verdant and peaceful world. More information at macfound. Org and with the ongoing support of these institutions and. This program was made possible by the corporation for public broadcasting. And by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. Thank you. Woodruff the u. S. Economy suffered more in the First Quarter than first believed. The government said today it shrank at an annual rate of almost 3 , due mainly to winter storms and Falling Health Care spending. More recent data suggest a rebound since then. Wall street mostly shrugged off the report. The Dow Jones Industrial average gained 49 points to close at 16,867. The nasdaq rose 29 points, to 4,379. And the sandp 500 added 9, to finish at 1,959. Ifill the National Football league agreed today to remove a cap on payouts to former players with concussionrelated problems. A federal judge had suggested the overall cap of 675 million was not enough to cover as many as 20,000 retirees. The settlement is meant to last at least 65 years, for former players with lou gehrigs disease, dementia and other conditions. Woodruff republicans in the house of representatives are going to federal court with a lawsuit charging president obama has abused his powers. Speaker john boehner announced the move today. He gave no details of the specific legal claims, but said the goal is to protect the rights of congress. What weve seen clearly over the last five years is an effort to erode the power of the legislative branch. And i believe the president is not faithfully executing the laws of our country, and on behalf of the institution and our constitution, standing up and fighting for this is in the best longterm interest of the congress. Woodruff republicans have accused the president of unilaterally changing health care and immigration laws. The white house said today that congressional obstruction has forced mr. Obama to make greater use of executive orders. Ifill supporters of gay marriage won two new legal victories today. A federal Appeals Court in denver upheld a Lower Court Ruling against utahs ban on samesex unions. The state attorney general immediately promised to appeal. And, a separate federal court struck down indianas ban on gay marriage. Woodruff the Roman Catholic archdiocese of seattle is the latest to settle claims that priests sexually abused children. The church has agreed to pay 12 million to 30 men who say they were assaulted, as children, at two catholic schools. It happened between the 1950s and the 1980s. Ifill in iraq, Prime MinisterNouri Almaliki called for all factions to unite against a sunni insurgency. But, he rejected appeals, from president obama and others, to form a unity government. Maliki insisted today any such move would amount to a coup, since his shiite bloc won the most seats in aprils elections. translated it is not a secret to iraqis, the grave intentions harbored behind the call for the formation of a so called government of National Salvation. It is an attempt to eliminate our young democracy and to ignore voters opinions. The call to form a government of National Salvation would torpedo the constitution and the political process. Ifill meanwhile, secretary of state john kerry warned iraqs neighbors against intervening. On tuesday, syrian warplanes bombed an iraqi border town seized by the sunni Extremist Group isil. That same faction is also fighting in syria. Woodruff secretary kerry also called today for russian president Vladimir Putin to show hes serious about fostering peace in ukraine. Earlier, the Russian Parliament canceled a resolution authorizing military force to support ukrainian rebels. But in brussels, kerry said putin needs to do more, if he wants to avoid tougher economic sanctions. We are delighted that president putin put to the duma the retraction of that law which empowered russia to take action in ukraine. Thats important. Its a great step. But it could be reversed in ten minutes, and everyone knows that. Woodruff russia denies it is letting fighters and heavy weapons cross into ukraine, or that it is again massing troops near the border. Ifill libya held parliamentary elections today despite growing chaos, three years after the ouster of moammar gadhafi. Turnout was sparse, but troops deployed to protect polling stations from possible attacks. At least two cities closed their polls entirely. Woodruff still to come on the newshour the Supreme Court makes two key rulings for the digital age; a good showing for incumbents in last nights primaries; gwens extended interview with former secretary of state Hillary Clinton; saving children in guatemala from malnutrition; and my discussion with former treasury secretary hank paulson on the costs of Climate Change. Ifill in two closelywatched technology cases, the Supreme Court placed limits on Law Enforcement, and on streaming video services. In a unanimous decision, the court decided Police Officers need a warrant to search cell phones. And separately, six of the nine justices sided with broadcast networks against an internet startup that sought to share their signals without paying a fee. For more on todays decisions, we turn as always to marcia coyle of the national law journal. St case, marcia sounds like when is a cell phone not a cell phone. It is a fascinating case, a straightforward decision by the chief justice. Actually, it was two quick cases, one from broxton and one from california. The cell phone owners had been lawfully arrested one for concealed weapons and gangrelated activity, the other for drugrelated activity. One cell phone owner had a smartphone, the other had the older clip phone. As you know and we talked about, a search is reasonable under the Fourth Amendment generally if police have a warrant, but there are exceptions to the warrant requirement that the court has recognized over the years and one of the exceptions played out in the case today. Police can search you after youve been arrested, generally for two reasons one, to look for any weapons that might endanger the officer or the public and also to preserve possible destruction of evidence, preserve evidence that might be destroyed. Sorry about that. And the chief justice today for the entire court said that suspension does not apply to cell phones. Ifill the colorful writing of chief roberts being blunt and the yiew unanimity struck me. The court split on the Fourth Amendment in warrant requirements in the gps case not too long ago and they sometimes have very unusual coalitions when they divide on Fourth Amendment questions. But on this case, seems like it wasnt hard for them, generally because of, as the chief justice explained, the amount of information that cell phones contain today. He went into Great Lengths describing what we keep on our cell phones today. In fact, he said, a search of a cell phone is a more significant invasion than a search of your home in terms of what you can find. He made a funny comment at the beginning of his opinion saying that cell phones have become is such a pervasive and insistent part of our daily lives that a martian who came to the United States might think its part of the anatomy. Ifill so, tell me, getting a warrant is all that the required for Law Enforcement to get accesso the phones, and the court said that the the cost of doing business. Yes, he said privacy has a cost and he noted this will have an impact on Law Enforcements ability to fight crime, but did think the governments counterarguments here just didnt outweigh the privacy interests. He says Law Enforcement has technological tools that it can use, for example, if somebody locks the cell phone, they can put cell phones in these special bags now in order to keep the evidence in the cell phone and cell phone itself from remotely being wiped. So, you know, he just came down basically saying that the privacy interests here were so much stronger, and he even we want back to the founding of the United States the american revolution. He said the seeds of that revolution were in the colonists hatred an tipty for the general warrants the soldiers used to rummage through their homes. Ifill even if they had cell phones who knows what the patriots would have thought about this. Thats true. Lets talk about the video streaming case, also technology, but about copyright law, not privaciy. Thats right. The Major Broadcast Networks claimed the area which is a fairly recent streaming venture. Ifill pbs was one of them. Right, that they ar that aero ve act by publicly performing their works and did this by retransmitting the public programming to subscribers for a fee. They had miniature antennas they would assign to each subscriber requesting a Certain Program and then that antenna would go up on a major board, i think in massachusetts, where theyre based, and the subscriber then would decide, you know, what program and when it wanted to view that program. For the court, justic justice br bro fowrote for a 63 majority,e says what aero does, its operation was very similar to what Cable Companies do, and Cable Companies were regulated under the copyright act and were required to pay license fees if they wanted that programming. Ifill so the majority basically thought aero, that the creators of this Innovative Service were trying to exploit a loophole in the law. Well they did not say that specifically but that was the argument of the networks that aero was trying to gain the system by this new method of streaming to their subscribers. But Justice Breyer went step by step to look at whether aero actually performed the work, had a lot to do with the definition of publicly perform and he rejected all of aeros arguments that won. It was subscribers who perform and not publicly because the transmission only goes to one subscriber. He still saw it as very much similar to Cable Companies operation. Ifill so unlike the first case, the first two cases, thvs not a unanimous decision. No. Ifill what did the dissenters say and who were they. Justice scalia, thomas and alio. They looked at whether aero performed copyrighted work and decided they did not and accused the majority of coming up with a looks like a cable standard under the copyright act that he said would only create confusion. He did admit in the end of his opinion that he shared the majority sense that there was something wrong about aeros operation under the copyright act but said if this is a loophole its for congress to deal with it not the courts. Ifill the court is not yet at least between the telecommunication and cable providers, right . Right. Woodruff two weeks after House Majority leader eric cantor, the most prominent republican in virginia, went down to a stunning primary defeat, the establishment struck back tuesday night. From mississippi to new york to colorado, there were plenty of close races for incumbents, but they all survived. The newshours Political EditorDomenico Montanaro is back with us to decipher what happened. So what happened . This was supposed to be comeback night for the tea party, mississippi. Maybe. I mean, we were wondering whether or not the eric cantor would be an abberation or start overan antiincumbent trend and what it looked like last night was an abberation for cantor because there were other issues at play where he ignores his district. There were plenty of close cases, mississippi being one, but thad cochran, the incumbent senator there, longtime senator, eeked out a win by just less than 2 Percentage Points over highs tea Party Opponent and in a unique way. Ifill talk about that because theres a lot of discussion and you have been looking into this today about what happened in some of the heavily democratic parts of the state. Sreenivasan if you told me three weeks ago that a republican would win a republican primary by appealing to democrats and black voters i would say hes done and i think thats why a lot of the Political Community was skeptical and thad cochran with the Haley Barbour machine in mississippi would pull that off and thats what they ended up doing. If you look at the 24 africanamerican majority in the states. Cochran gaining 10,000 votes out of that, his margin of victory was only 6700 votes. And in one county where jackson is, 70 africanamerican, he wound up 6700 votes he netted out there so thats 85 of the margin he wound up winning. So a really interesting effort by their campaign one that really i dont thinks been seen before. Ifill and mcdaniel picked up, turned out at well, picked up his vote count as well, but as your opinion saying for cochran, much more and mcdaniel cant challenge, this right, theres no way he can run as an independent . No, he missed the march 1 deadline and cant run answer independent. I dont think it will help him. His appeal is not with independents and democrats who would be able to vote in the diswren election. This was an open primary which is why democrats and independents were able to vote. But if he ran in that climate it would be much more difficult. Ifill you were saying incumbents did well elsewhere, oklahoma and other states as well. Yes, oklahoma, james lan langford, the incumbent there running for the open senate seat, an incumbent congressman, wound up surprisingly blowing away the field here with t. W. Shannon who is a former statehouse speaker and he had a lot of Tea Party Support and really was a bad night for Establishment Tea Party folks. The irony is dave brat who wound up beating eric cantor had almost no d. C. Establishment Tea Party Support, that was pure grassroots and the only real win theyve had. Ifill you mentioned colorado and other states. Yeah, colorado, upstate new york. Other incumbents who had a bit of a stair but won the races anyhow. Woodruff and charlie rangel, new york city, one of the longestserving members of the house eeked out a win. And a lot of us were wondering, here was another 40year member of congress and would he be able to survive in a district much more heavily latino, he wound up winning late this afternoon, called it 6744 over state senator espiate. Well see what happens in the next term. Woodruff primary season marches on. Domenico ifill she is a former secretary of state and a former first lady and the subject of endless speculation about what comes next. Now with the publication of her second memoir, hard choices, Hillary Clinton writes about her recent past as the nations top diplomat, as everyone else wonders about her immediate political future. We had questions too, so i sat down with her yesterday in denver at the studios of Rocky Mountain pbs. Secretary clinton, thank you for joining us. Thank you, gwen, wonderful to see you. Ifill i want to start by talking about iraq. Theres much debate about the would have and could have and should haves if they had left a residual force on the ground as critics are saying do you think we would be seeing the collapse were seeing today . I think its impossible to answer the question. Certainly when president obama had to make the decision about what to do, he was deciding based on what the Bush Administration had already determined because they were the ones who said troops have to be out by the end of 2011. I was part of the discussions where we were putting together proposals for the Iraqi Government to consider about a residual force that would be there to help train and provide intelligence and generally support services. Unfortunately as we all know the maliki government was not willing to do that. Iraqi primarily political but of course manifest in this very dangerous Extremist Group being able to gain ground and hold it. That is only possible, in my i opinion because the sunnis who partnered with the United States and even maliki to drive out al quaida in iraq feel as though they have been isolated and excluded. So i think its difficult to say if wed kept a residual force even for a year or two or three that we would have had the ability to control what maliki did, and i think his behavior, his sectarianism, his purging of sunni leaders, the way he stopped paying the Sunni Awakening soldiers and so much else contributed to where we
