ruled a

Agency Program

National Security
studies, a
Civil Liberties
advocacy group, and stewart baker, a former general counsel at the
National Security
agency, and former assistant secretary of homeland security. Welcome to you both. Kate martin, was this the dropped shoe that privacy advocates were waiting on . Yes. This is the first time that a federal
Appeals Court
has looked at what was a secret interpretation by the government that allowed it to collect massive amounts of records on americans under a secret interpretation of the law. And the court said that that secret interpretation of the law was not, in fact, authorized by the congress and so held the program to be a violation of the law. Ifill so what does this do . Does this stop the program in its tracks . No actually. Its remarkably without consequence. At the end of the day it says congress, in the view of thisco court, didnt authorize exactly what the program is and unless
Congress Says
that its authorized, its not going to continue. And then they send it back to the judge, letting the judge and the
District Court
determine whether tonr enjoin it but it just underlines what we already knew, which is that congress has to act in the next three weeks because if it doesnt the program goes away automatically, if it does, its going to have to say, yes were approving this program. Ifill does it matter whether the court decided today that this was illegal or unconstitutional, or is it neither . It did not decide that it was unconstitutional. They said it was not approved by congress. It was a close call in my view whether it was approved by congress. I think theyre wrong. But they said it was not approved by co congress has a chance and really an obligation to rule on whether this program will continue by the end of the month, so they will have to say something. R that will put an end really to the discussion in this case. Ifill kate martin . So they didnt rule on theni constitutionality because of the matter of jurisprudence. But the opinion which is some 90 pages long, laid out the concerns about how the program threatens americans privacy and the concerns about how these new technological tools that are available to the government might really require a reunderstanding of whats constitutional and not constitutional. Ifill did it address the argument in those 94 pages about whether this was tying the hands of the
Intelligence Community
. No it did not, but the
Intelligence Community
doesnt make that argument anymore. Some politicians make that argument. Stewart might make that argument. Im not sure. Im not a politician anymore. No i know. Thats why i was including you plus. But the director of the national intelligence, and the president after extensive reviews by outsiders and insiders, which concluded that the program hadnt resulted in stopping any terror attacks, decided that there was no intelligence value that they needed to continue the program, the essence of the program being that the n. S. A. Gets all of the telephone records of all telephone calls made or received. And the white house has thisnr deadly backing away from the need for that. So you say, you both say that by the end of this month, when the patriot act expires, something has to happen. What has to happen for congress . What kind of action can
Congress Take
to change this . Congress can reauthorize it in which case the courts opinion will be overtaken by events. They can modify the program, in which case the statute will be better tailored to what the program is or what new program is adopted. Or they can let it die and take the risk that both this program and a lot of other things that are done with this authority will not be available if were attacked by terrorists. Ifill whats the problem if that happens . Well, there are a lot of authorities, a lot of programs that depend on the ability to ask
Service Providers
for data about their customers targeted requests as well as broader requests. All of them will go away if this section is not reauthorized. Well the most likely outcome i think in congress or what i hope to be the likely outcome is that congress adopts a package of reforms which its been considering for the past year,ni known as u. S. A. Freedom act. It has the support of the administration, and basically those reforms would not reinstitute the program thitz the court held illegal today. They provide a different way forni the government to get some of the information. And they also make reforms to other sections of the patriot act, that statute that werent addressed by the court. Theres widespread bipartisan support for those reforms in both houses of congress. The
House Judiciary Committee
passed it overwhelmingly last week, and the house is expected to adopt them next week. There has been i think a kind of peculiar effort to say, oh, no, we should continue the program as it is when the
Intelligence Community
itself is not asking for that and says these reforms would be better. So i think kate was right when she said only some of the data will be available that the data will disappear because records wont be keptni and when we need to try to find people quickly and to find out who they are conspiring with, if there is a terrorist conspiracy in the
United States
that is sponsored from abroad, we wont be able to do that. Ifill is there an alternative to doing it the way theyve been doing it, the way the court said was not legal in. What the court saidni was the statute was not written to authorize that. So it will be easy for congress to say, were going to authorize it with certain kinds of constraints for protections any number. They can take all of the constraints that are already part of the court order. Ifill okay. So if theres bipartisan interest. Theres bipartisan doubts about this program, especially in the senate, about u. S. A. Freedom. So there is genuine debate in the senate in particular. In the house the far left and the far right have agreed to dislike this program and they have the majority atnr this point, so i think the house will pass thenmu9 i doni not think that the senate will do that. Ifill were almost out of time. Do you have a very quick comment . I want to say, on the rule of law question, this interpretation was a secret interpretation adopted by the
Bush Administration
of the law and then the
Obama Administration
when pushed refused to make that interpretation public. Ifill okay. Were going to have to leave it there. Kate martin of the center forni
National Security
studies. Stewart baker, former assistant secretary of the department of homeland security. Thats right. Ifill i got it all out. Thank you both very much. Thank you. Its a pleasure. Ifill thousands of nepalese gathered today for prayer, ritual and ceremony marking the end of a traditional hindu mourning period held after the massive earthquake. The death toll has grown to more than 7,800 people. Another 15,000 have been injured. Engineers are continuing to inspect thousands of damaged houses around kathmandu. The earthquake also wrought considerable destruction and damage to religious, cultural and heritage sites throughout the region. Jeffrey brown reports on that part of his ongoing work on culture at risk. Brown the cremation of bodies continued this week in kathmandu, as officials warned the death toll could hit 10,000. Meanwhile aid workers have struggled to reach remote areas, hampered by customs delays, closed roads and difficult terrain. And villagers have grown frustrated by the pace and amount of relief getting to them. translated it is so little, what can one do with this . Some have 15 to 20 people in their families, and some have but for 10 to 15 people, how long will it last . It wont last. Brown the humanitarian crisis the loss of lives, the need for food, shelter, and medicine has been devastating in this mountainous country that is one of the worlds poorest. At the same time, another kind of crisis has also unfolded. This region once stood at the intersection of trade routes connecting india and china, and became home to a
Rich Heritage
of art and architecture dating back many centuries. Today, many of those sites, such as
Bhaktapur Square
and patan durbar square, both in the kathmandu valley, are badly damaged. There are many of the temples have collapse and also many of the historical houses, in which many of the families were living fell down. And in bhaktapur there are streets where we even cannot go at the moment because all the houses are fell on the streets so this is difficult to assess there. Christian manhart is the director of the
United Nations
office of
Cultural Heritage
in kathmandu. And then patan durbar square we also i must say 50 of the temples have gone there, they are just rubble now. But fortunately the royal palace is still standing, except one tower which is leaning and which we have to consolidate very quickly that it doesnt fall down. Brown in the city yesterday soldiers and volunteers worked to clear bricks and debris from a hindu temple. Because we love our temple very much, so look at it now, i want to care about this. And i want to help this temple very carefully and then other temples, plus i want to come in brown since the earthquake, manharts team has been struggling to assess the damage to the countrys many temples and historic sites. And there has been some good news the lumbini temple, for example, said to be the birthplace of the buddha, was left unharmed. Nepal is home to four designated
World Heritage
sites, two natural and two cultural. One site alone, the kathmandu valley, contains seven world renowned groups of monuments and buildings. And tourism is vital to this poor countrys economy. Its the largest concentration of
World Heritage
sites anywhere in the world. And absolutely unique in their style and in their mixture of hindu and buddhist secular traditions. Brown debra diamond is curator of south and
Southeast Asian
art at the smithsonians freer and sackler galleries in washington, itself home to a nepalese bodhisattva. These are bronze casters and wood carvers are considered among, historically considered, among the greatest artists of the region. And they not only worked in nepal but they were called to china by kublai khan, for example and they worked in tibet brown its a fact not lost on locals. After early reports of looting, manhart says citizens, police and the military have come together to protect the sites. These are not just relics from a bygone era, he and others point out, but living history that people interact with on a daily basis. That was on display this week in the capital, where even amid the destruction and loss of life, the nepalese celebrated the buddhas birthday. When i arrived in nepal eight months ago i was really struck by the spirituality of the people, by this culture they still have. They go to the temple every morning to give some offerings. Each temple has its own festivals and the people are very strongly connected and its part of their daily lives. And what is the danger of course, if the tangible heritage so the temples disappears and then theres the intangibles heritage will disappears. Brown there are reasons for some hope the way the temples and buildings were constructed for example, should make them easier to rebuild. And many of them are in this very distinctive nepalese style of that uses brick and wood. So we see these pagodalike towers with many different roofs and struts that are made of carved wood. And when theres an earthquake, those buildings tend to fall straight down. And the struts survive and the bricks survive so theres a lot that can be recycled. And also, we have very detailed documentation. We have good photographs of the sites, we have architectural drawings and plans, we have measurements, so all this helps for future restoration. Brown manhart says that with thousands of temples to restore the work could take at least ten years and perhaps decades. All part of a rebuilding effort throughout the country that by all accounts will require a
Huge International
aid commitment. For the pbs newshour, im

Jeffrey Brown<\/a> in washington. Ifill in a rare, near unanimous and bipartisan vote, the senate declared it would have its say in
Ongoing Nuclear<\/a> talks with iran. The
Iran Nuclear Agreement<\/a> review act passed 98 to one. It would give congress up to 52 days to review any proposed
Nuclear Agreement<\/a> with iran. During that time, the president could not reduce imposed sanctions. And congress could vote, up or down, on any proposed agreement. A twothirds vote would be needed to override any resulting president ial veto. I spoke earlier with two senators who joined in the overwhelming support for the measure. We begin with republican john thune of south dakota. Senator thune, thank you for joining us. So why did congress feel it had to have its sayni today . Well, i think theres a concern among the
American People<\/a>, gwen. It needs to be voiced through their representatives in congress about an iranian
Nuclear Agreement<\/a> thatco thenr of negotiating. And i thinkco this has huge
National Security<\/a> consequences not only for ourni allies in the region, but for the
United States<\/a>, and so the congress in the legislation that we passed today, and it was an overwhelming vote, i think went on the record expressing their desire to be a part of this process and have an opportunity to at least review and approveni or disapprove whatever agreement the administration negotiates. Ifill youre right, that was an overwhelming vote, but even though only one person voted against the final bill several of your colleague, senator rubio, senator cruz, senator cotton, they had all been a little bit concerned about seeming to give congressional. Conditionings blessing congresss blessing to any deal. How did you overcome those concerns . In the end their argument was, yes, you dont have congressni on the record in any way blessing this thing, but in the end its going to take basically 67 votes innr the congress for anything that the president. I should say its going to take 34 to approve but 67 votes to disapprove anurg the administration negotiates. The one thing the legislation probably the most compelling argument in support of getting people on board with this, at least we have an opportunity to review it. We get 30 days. It will be an opportunity to educate the
American People<\/a> about the particulars theni details of this thing and what it means. I think that was probably the most compelling argument in favor of moving forward with this legislation, which by the way is negotiated really by bob corker and had 65 or 64 cosponsors when it started out. So this started out with a broad bipartisan support. The president had indicated he would veto it. He only came along reluctantly when it became clear this thing was going to pass. T step forward in ensuring that the
American People<\/a> and members of congress have an opportunityco to debate, review and act ultimately on whatever deal the administration negotiates. But couldnt the congress debate. Have debated and reviewed and acted on this even without. No matter what happened with this deal . Couldnt congress have done this any time . Well, they could but there was no guarantee that we would have had the opportunity to see it. This requires the administration to present it. And, you know, in all of its details and line by line and so forth, so congress and the
American People<\/a> are going to have a chance to see it. Arguably there are certain people probably that would have had a chance to seeco it anyway, but for the entire congress and by virtue of that, the
American People<\/a> to have an opportunity to review this deal, it took a process like this. And i think thats why in the end, you know thats what won it out. Ifill early on in this one of the objections from the white house and some democrats was that congress was going to hurt the deal still being negotiated, still being firmed up in geneva, vienna, wherever they are this week, and it would hurt the overall negotiations. Why wont this . I think in the end it gives additional leverage to the administration because now the iranians know the other parties know, our allies know that this is something that congress is at least going to weigh in on. I think thats another threshold thatco is there when negotiating and they have to think about. I had an amendment that ultimately didnt get voted on that would have required the state department to investigate whether or not the iaea really had the ability under the agreement the take a look at these military sites to see if the iranians were inni compliance. Things like that i think are really important to the
American People<\/a>, things like that i think are really important to individual members of congress. I think the administration should use that to their advantage when theyre negotiating this deal. Ifill except your amendment didnt get voted on. A lot of other amendments didnt get voted on. They were shut down by the
Senate Majority<\/a> leader. Isnt this the thing republicans complained harry reid did all the time . Well the democrats had no interest in helping on this because they didnt have any amendments they offered. They wanted to see the bill move forward without amendment. We had aco number of members on our side who did want to offer amendments. The democrats objected and blocked those. In the end we wanted to get the bill passed. It would have been nice to have a debate about amendments. Most of them would have beenni defeated. It would have been nice to think we could have strengthened the bill, but if im the white house, i look at this entire process and say this is good for us because this gives us, as we negotiate, a stronger hand and i think in the end that enables them, if theyre willing to use that to get a better deal. Ifill senator john thune of south dakota. Thank you very much. Thanks, gwen. Ifill i also spoke with virginias democratic senator tim kaine. Senator kaine, thank you for joining us. Its so unusual to see such an overwhelming bipartisan agreement. How significant was this vote today . It was a huge vote, gwen both for what it meansnr and what it pore tends. This was a bill that would introduced in 2014 by 14 republican senators. We started to work on it together in january recognizing the stakes. An
Iranian Nuclear<\/a> negotiation is nothing to play around with. We made some significant changes to turn it into a bipartisan bill after some of the drama in february and march here in the senate. The letter of 47 to the supreme leader. We felt like we needed to show each other and our public that we could consider an important matter like a deal with iran in a way that was deliberative and prompt and bipartisan, and when we got the bill done in the
Foreign Relations<\/a> committee, where i serve we had a unanimous vote. And we got a 981 vote on the floor today. It shows the senate canni step up and take these responsibilities on our shoulders and do them well. I want to do the same thing with this ninemonth war with isil thats going on. Ifill the white house had originally at some point maybe it was about the time of this 47 republicans signing the letter to the ayatollah, they had said they would veto this. Yep. Ifill what changed . Well i think,o uh know one, we got the votes. We had an undeniable momentum for this bill. But i also think the white house, as they looked at it, they realized something. If the choice wasco between congressional engagement or no engagement, this white house and probably every other white house would prefer no engagement. But that was never really theni choice. Because the white house is negotiating with iran using a congressionally imposed sanctions regime as the lever in the negotiation we were always going to be involved. So once they realized thatxd the real choice was between does conurgss engage under a set of rules thats prompt and carol and well defined or does congress engage under a freeforall set of rules, they realized the better course was to have a careful review. Thats what weve done. Weve given the president the ability to do waiver of executive or
International Sanctions<\/a> without congress, but when he proposes relief under the congressional statute then we enter a review period thats prompt and then we have to render either an approval or disapproval or take no action. So we can quickly, you know, give a congressional kind of signal about what we would intend. Thats the right way to do this. Now, you mentioned the ongoing conflict with isil. You spoke about that on the senate floor today. Do you envision this as a blueprint for congressional action on other international issues, which would normally be the purview of the executive branch . I really do, gwen. Of course the executive branch has huge purview on mattersnr of diplomacy and also on matters of war, but congress has our prerogatives, as well. And nonare so important none are so important as the power of the congress to declare war. Today is the end of nine months of unilateral executive war without a single vote on the floor of either house of congress about whether we should be engaged in military action against isil. Its been incredibly frustrating, but what i saw happened in the
Foreign Relations<\/a> committee over the last month or so, coming together to try to tackle a tough issue consistent with our responsibilities in a bipartisan way, i think what happened today portends that we can use the same approach as we grabble with the president s proposed authorization for the war against isil. ni we shouldnt be putting our
Service Members<\/a> lives at risk unless congress is willing to have a debate and say that the mission is in the national interest. Ifill i asked senator john thune a short time ago and i want to ask you too part of the criticism about congressional intervention was that you would endanger the ultimate agreement, which still hasnt come to fruition. Senator
Clinton John Kerry<\/a> has has senator john kerry has been involved. Do you think this will make his job tougher or easier . ni i think it will make it easier. I took that concern seriously. Thats why i did not agree to be any part of sanctions legislation during the course of the negligence legislations with iran, because the terms of the negotiation said we wouldnt do any more sanctions while we were negotiating, but the terms of the negotiation didnt say congress couldnt sign off on the deal. Indeed, the deal thats being negotiated is one that the
Iranian Parliament<\/a> has to sign offnr on, and iranian leaders are very sophisticated about our political system. If they want out from under congressional sanctions they understand that congress is going to have a say. So the fact that congress will weigh in once the deal is done, if a deal is done, is not surprising to them. Theyve anticipated it from the beginning that. Will not cause these negotiations to go off the rails. Ifill senator tim kaine, democrat of virginia, thank you very much. Thanks, gwen. ni ifill
Baltimore Mayor<\/a> stephanie rawlingsblake today announced a new effort to tackle the citys longstanding problems. The one baltimore campaign, as its called, is designed to bring business, religious and
Community Groups<\/a> together to help rebuild the city. Given the citys difficult history, the
Mayors Initiative<\/a> reflects concern about the potential longterm toll the lastest upheaval could leave on some its already most troubled neighborhoods. Economics correspondent paul solman went to baltimore to take a look, part of our ongoing reporting on making sense of
Financial News<\/a> which airs every thursday on the newshour. Reporter the
Southern Baptist<\/a> church in baltimore, this annual celebration of the areas
Church Ushers<\/a> seemed jarring given the loss of pastor donte hickmans flock suffered last week. Their halfbuilt
Senior Housing<\/a> complex and
Senior Center<\/a> torched, fully onethird of the 12 million project reduced to rubble within hours. So too the church bus. It was heartbreaking. We invested in the community. Who would do
Something Like<\/a> this . Reporter but theyre asking a bigger question in the city at large what do last weekends events portend for the city of baltimore as a whole. At the marcus boyd
Real Estate Firm<\/a> cloak wally known as will and bill on the hill, business is up by roughly 100 . These are the ones that were canceled. Coowner will runnerbound says buyers and renters are staying away in droves. The phones have not been ringing and no one has been walking in. Reporter as for investors. We have two properties on the market on the first floor and multiple units above. Those have been extremely popular. This week weve seen a drastic decline in requests to even see them. Reporter in the similarly trendy fells point neighborhood the
Boutique Hotel<\/a> inn at the black olive suffered the same fate. I had never experienced anything in my lifetime like this. Reporter the coowner says he was swamped by cancellations. We were at 100 occupancy. This is the busy season. And i had to give refunds. We lost all reservations. We lost a bunch of parties. Prices were cut by twothirds. Occupancy was cut by twothirds at least. Reporter in baltimores famously revived inner harbor an
Economic Consultant<\/a> summed up. This has hammered the leisure and hospitality segments of baltimore. Bars have lost about 95 of their normal business traffic. Weve had a number of orioles gams canceled including one that took place with no fans, and theres the direct damage from the riot on monday night. Thats going to make it that much more difficult to market this city not just to tourists but to students who would attend
Johns Hopkins<\/a> or loyola university. People who are being recruited for corporate businesses in
Baltimore City<\/a> so anyone who thinks these effects wont linger i think is naive. I grew up in detroit. I remember the 1967 riots. Reporter economic historian
Robert Margot<\/a> doesnt just remember the 1960s riots, he studied their effects in dozens of cities across the u. S. The riots were unambiguously negative. They reduced incomes of
African Americans<\/a> and they reduced housing valuesment local amenities shopping, things like this basically went away. I would also would add these effects persisted. We found no evidence that they got better so to speak. I was in los angeles during the rodney king riots. Reporter sociologist chris marsh. For the most part where we saw the hotbed of the rodney king riots, there hasnt been a lot of reinvestment back in that community. Reporter nor was there much reinvestment in baltimores affected neighborhoods after the eightday uprising in 1968. So much was left not rebuilt. Reporter if the effects of the last riots are left to see why would baltimores innercity trash their neighborhoods yet again, even if only for one night thus far . Some people are looting because thats their mentality, but others feel like ayre making a statement, we want to be heard. Understand what im saying . Reporter terrence rogers, a minister in training under pastor hickman as are darian right and wes johnson. People feeling like they can succeed or get above. When theyre at that boiling point and it comes to them lashing out, whats the worst that can happen . Its already falling down around them. Its like were all living in this dump or this war zone. Reporter and yet barely two miles away, baltimore has been booming. Over there is a four seasons hotelment youll see a crane there. On top of that is being constructed nine stories of luxury condominiums. Over there you can see the new
Regional Headquarters<\/a> of x one under construction. That will energize development of a peninsula innocent as harbor pointe, baltimores most upscale neighborhood. Reporter this is all inner harbor here . This is all the inner hard were of baltimore. Not long ago these were rotting piers. There were rafts all over the place. Today it is a showpiece for urban america. The city is thriving and rotting at the same time. Reporter local
Real Estate Investor<\/a> john demar gin. I hate to say it, but my life over the last week was almost totally unchanged. Which seems a little unfair being in a city that was rioting. Reporter at this office, young employees seemed even less fazed. How many of you would tell your friends from other cities, hey, you still want the come to baltimore . Every one of you. I would say baltimore is still an attractive location for people for my age group. I think we will just live a normal life after this. If the rioting goes away and the destruction of property goes away, well forget about it. Reporter why have
Young Professionals<\/a> flockednr here . Less than an hour of washington baltimore housing is onethird the price one reason, the stigma of the citys rotting inner core. With recent unrest, housing might become even more affordable, but thats what worries sociologist chris marsh. In some ways this is prime property. So you may have the
Big Developers<\/a> want to come in and push out brown and black folks and gentrify it and make it what we see in d. C. , this new area for young, white folks with 2. 5 kids and a prius. Reporter when i look around here, this place behind us, there, there there its a whole block. Its got nobody living in it at all. Gentrification is better than that right . Thats one way you could look at it, but how about trying to invest in the people that are already here . Onethird of the people who shop at this mall make less than 25,000 a year. Reporter at this mall where last weeks rioting began, historian
Nathan Connolly<\/a> told us that perhaps what happened in baltimore will galvanize such investment. One of my hope, in fact, is that this riot will really begin to initiate a conversation about a
Government Jobs Program<\/a> that really will address the problem of underemployment in black neighborhoods. Reporter because thats going to cost taxpayer money, and in the
United States<\/a> in 2015, taxpayers arent particularly interested in making those kinds of investments. Historically thats actually true. Its unfortunate because one of the reasons weve gotten into this mess is were willing to accept taxes for increasing polices but not for antipoverty, particularly antipoverty measures targeting communities of color. Reporter so maybe the obstacles are insurmountable, but pastor hickman has a reminder, economic and spiritual alike, god works in mysterious ways. I think opposition lends itself when you are faithful to greater opportunities of growth. Reporter we can at least all pray for that. Economics correspondent, paul solman report for the pbs newshour from baltimore, maryland. Ifill we have more on baltimore online economist john komlos breaks down some startling statistics about income inequality in the city on our homepage, pbs. Org newshour. Ifill over the past few months, newshours student reporting labs have been looking into school
Campus Safety<\/a>. In arizona, one group of our
High School Students<\/a> has been asked to play an
Important Role<\/a> in making sure everyone on campus knows what to do in an emergency. The newshours april brown worked with some of those students, for our latest american graduate report part of a public
Media Initiative<\/a> funded by the corporation for public broadcasting. Attention staff and students of
South Mountain<\/a> high school, we are in lockdown. Reporter those are words no
School Administrator<\/a> wants to say. Room 160 needs to be secure. Reporter in the two years since the mass shooting at sandy hook elementary in connecticut, schools around the country have been ramping up safety efforts, and experimenting with different approaches to prepare for worst case scenarios. One high school in phoenix is asking students to take a proactive role to make their school safer. During a reverse evacuation. Reporter administrators asked journalism students at
South Mountain<\/a> high school to create a video for their peers on what to do during emergency situations. Principal lacresha williams made the request after a potentially dangerous incident caused a lockdown in the fall. They are at lunch at this time, they are eating and having fun so we literally pushed the kids into buildings, they are walking fast they are not running because they dont know the seriousness of it. That there is an alleged person who has an weapon on campus with a backpack. Reporter the response to that incident wasnt as smooth as
School Officials<\/a> had hoped. It goes back to an old sports cliche that you play like you practice. Reporter head of security
Brion Macneil<\/a> says regular drills are important. The whole purpose of a lockdown is to minimize casualties and we know that sometimes depending on the situation were not going to be 100 so we try to get everybody inside and secured as fast as we can. You cant get in . No. You have to get to the old gym. Quickly reporter senior
Jose Contreras<\/a>, the lead producer of the student video, says its been clear for some time that students need more information. Some classrooms locked their doors before all of the students were in so some students were figuring out that they couldnt get in and they created a lot of chaos and a lot of fear even to some students. Reporter many students were unaware that teachers are supposed to lock classroom doors immediately in many emergency situations, as
Annie Montgomery<\/a> did during the drill we were allowed to film. And after that. Its very important that we be quiet that we go in our little room over there and close the door and make the room look like its empty and that they bring all their backpacks and belongings so if someone did make it into the main room they would think this place was empty. Reporter at
South Mountain<\/a> teachers like montgomery have written instructions detailing how to respond to various emergencies. This year they also watched a new training video developed with guidance from first responders, educators,
Mental Health<\/a> professionals and law enforcement. Recent events remind us that active shooter events can happen anywhere in our community. Twice i watched it and i cried. It was just really hard to deal with. That children could be put in that situation. Reporter irene diaz is the
Phoenix Union<\/a>
School Districts<\/a> supervisor for security. She says the active shooter action plan video has helped teachers and staff become better prepared. We were training our staff you know to get small, get quiet. We needed to do something to train our teachers, to prepare them so more kids do survive should an incident like that occur. Reporter the video, though was considered inappropriate for students, and they never saw it. But as part of the research for their own video, the journalism students met with deborah roepke, the head of the non profit that created the one for teachers. She suggested they consider addressing situations that could come up in an emergency. There could be situations where rooms are not lockable, so what does a substitute teacher what does a student do in that situation. Reporter or if someone happens to be is in the restroom during a lockdown, a scenario included in the students final cut. Hide in the stall furthest away from the door. Reporter for additional information, the young journalists also interviewed students and teachers learn more about their schools current emergency protocols including what was and wasnt working. We found a weak spot in our school. If you were able to get into my classroom youd have access to all the other teachers classrooms in our department, that has been addressed with twoway locks. How effective would you say the drills at south are and why . Havent been as efficient as i feel they need to be. The first one we had in november was very poor, created a fire hazard at the choke point of our stadium. Reporter it turns out many people noticed that problem. Describe to me what happens when youve got 1,500 kids going to the football field at once . It gets really hectic, if you can imagine so many kids shoulder to shoulder trying to get inside the football field people start freaking out. It just causes more problems than the one already presented. Reporter the student journalists shared what they learned with administrators, and even though it wasnt news principal lacresha williams wanted to hear, she recognized its value. We have a lot of work to do, were working vigilantly to take care of that and them uncovering those gaps and communicating them to us thats just like gold. We need it. Reporter but even after addressing those problems, there has been one issue that keeps coming up. Do you ever tell your peers to take drills seriously or are you pressured by your peers to goof off . Sometimes i do feel pressure to goof off because you dont want to be the one thats not. Reporter
Jose Contreras<\/a> hopes the video will change a few minds about that. Not everything is a drill. Sometimes real stuff does happen, and people need to realize that. Reporter the
South Mountain<\/a> journalism students hope to eventually distribute their video to other schools that request it. For the pbs newshour im april brown in phoenix. Ifill after the 2003 invasion of iraq
British Middle East<\/a> expert emma sky joined the u. S. British civilian operation there, advising
Coalition Provisional<\/a> authority chief paul bremer and top u. S. Military commanders, including generals
David Petraeus<\/a> and ray odierno. Emma sky explores the mistakes that were made in her new book, the unraveling high hopes and missed opportunities in iraq. In the latest addition to the newshour bookshelf, chief
Foreign Affairs<\/a> correspondent
Margaret Warner<\/a> talked to her at busboys and poets, a local washington bookstore. Warner emma sky, welcome. Thank you for join us. Thank you. Warner you opposed the iraq war from the start. What drove you to go and volunteer to rebuild the country after the invasion. I thought this is my opportunity to go to iraq and apologize to the iraqi people for the war. The
British Government<\/a> asked for volunteers. They said it would be three months before we hand the country back to the iraqis. I thought ive got some skills i can help rebuild and help the institutions. Warner what was the fatal mistake of the americans and the british . At what point did it become the unraveling . There were many mistakes all the way along. After the invasion there was in plan for what should be done. The invading forces didnt have enough troops. There was a power vacuum. All these different gangs started to form. Then there was debaathification dissolving the military and all of this led to the collapse of the state and then the civil war. Warner you thought the big mistake was for the americans and the british to try to get iraq to reorganize on the basis of ethnicity and sect. What was the alternative . I think the alternative was to create the sense of iraqiness. You organize based on regions and towns. So you dont say we will have 20 sunnis 20 kurds, 60 shia, you actually think, well have representatives from an bar, in irbil, and that way youre building up geographical representation, not based on sect and ethnicity. Instead we wanted to build a pluralistic society, but what we did was institutionalize sectarianism. There was nothing about being iraqi. It was all about being a subl subcomponent. Warner paul bremer asked you to come to iraq as his adviser. I arrived in february 2004. By that stage it was very clear things were not going well. We had the abu ghraib scandal. We had uprisings in fallujah. We had uprises in the south. And the palaces were being bombed and rocketed and there was forever the sound of gunfire. It was a very dangerous time, and there was a sense that everything was starting to go downhill rapidly. Warner and yet you say ambassador bremer didnt see it that way. When does optimism become dilution . At one level hes trying to lead in these very difficult circumstances. I remember the
Farewell Party<\/a> he had for us. And he said, you know, for the rest of your lives youll remember how you brought democracy to iraq. And bombs and rockets were going on in the background. I thought theres a lot im going to remember. Im not sure ill remember the democracy bit. Warner what was it like for you, clearly progressive young woman from britain, suddenly sitting at the right hand and advising these powerful american generals and living with the u. S. Military. Must have been huge cultural shock. I mean, i had never worked with any military before let alone the u. S. Military, before i got to iraq. The initial interaction was a lot of friction. But i came to see quite early on that these guys wanted to do the right thing. They wanted to stabilize iraq so they could leave. And they had capabilities. They had good lead ers. They had resources. So i calculated my best use of my skills was to help them be better at what they were doing. Warner but in 2010 after quelling the sunnishia civil war and al qaeda, the americans, sky says, made a fateful mistake, throwing their weight beheat
Nouri Almaliki<\/a> after he narrowly lost the 2010 election against a nonsectarian rival. There was a sense of do we uphold the
Election Results<\/a> or do we keep almaliki in power . And general odierno was were americans, theres been an election, we must uphold the results. But others were thought, we know almaliki, he will give us a followon
Security Agreement<\/a>. That was the debate. Unfortunately,
Vice President<\/a> biden came down on the side of theres no one but almaliki, this is the quickest option, keep the status quo, and we can get an
Security Agreement<\/a> and then just really disengage. Warner just what washington wanted to do. Washington wanted to end the war. That was the priority, to end the war. Warner so what is the future now you see for iraq . Iraqs present is really very grim. You have the
Islamic State<\/a> controlling onethird of the country. With all of us who served in iraq year after year after year, its really hard. And i think the only way is to maintain hope is to look at iraqs past, and you think, you know, this is the land where adam and eve were. This is the land where the talmud was written. Baghdad was once the
Cultural Capital<\/a> of the arab world. Thats an amazing history. And i hope the new generation comes along thats inspired by iraqs incredible past and thats able to build a better future. Warner emma sky, thank you so much. Thank you. Ifill now, to our newshour shares of the day. Something that caught our eye, that might be of interest to you, too. Highways will soon be making room for the worlds first self driving 18wheeler truck. The daimler freightliner inspiration is now authorized for testdrives on public roads in nevada with a state license. But the semis wont be completely autonomous, there will always be a licensed truck driver in the seat. The goal is to reduce driver fatigue on longhaul trips. But trucking unions are wary of the change. And it might yet take some time to persuade lawmakers, and the public, that its safe.
