In anaheim today, sanders touted his support among the nations youth and said its a message to Party Leaders we are winning the overwhelming majority of young people. What should that tell us . What does that tell us . It tells us it tells us and it should tell the country, and certainly the leadership of the Democratic Party that our ideas, our vision is the future of america. Woodruff the sanders camp also asked today for a re canvass of last weeks kentucky primary results. Hillary clinton finished just over 1,900 votes ahead in kentucky. She, too, campaigned in california today, in the los angeles area, and again, trained her fire on republican donald trump. Now he says he wants to roll back the financial regulations that we have imposed on wall street to let them run wild again. Well ill tell you what. You and i together were not going to let him bankrupt america. Woodruff this was primary voting day for the republicans in washington state.

Sreenivasan in the days other news, president obama made a show of support for dissidents in vietnam after formally ending a u. S. Arms embargo. It came on his second day in hanoi. There are still areas of significant concern in terms of freedom of speech, freedom of sreenivasan it was a telling moment the president meeting with human rights activists and criticizing repression, but with some chairs unfilled. I should note that there were several other activists who were invited, who were prevented from coming for various reasons. And i think its an indication of the fact that, although there has been some modest progress, there are still folks who find it very difficult to assemble and organize peacefully around sreenivasan in a later speech, mr. Obama argued greater freedom would benefit the communist state. He balanced that with another show of solidarity with vietnam against chinas aggressive moves in the south china sea. Nations are sovereign, and no matter how large or small a nation may be, its sovereignty should be respected, and its territory should not be violated. Big nations should not bully smaller ones. Sreenivasan beijing had issued a relatively mild statement on monday. But today, its Defense Ministry essentially warned washington to back off in diplomatic language. translated we believe the countries outside the region should respect the efforts by regional countries in safeguarding peace and stability. They should not threaten other countries sovereignty. Sreenivasan from hanoi, the president flew to Ho Chi Minh City the former saigon where thousands welcomed him, and his push for greater economic ties and trade. The president spends a final day in vietnam tomorrow, then heads to japan. Woodruff mystery swirled again today around the fate of an egyptair plane that crashed last week, killing all 66 people on board. An egyptian forensics expert said the small size of body parts found so far, points to an explosion. But the head of egypts Forensic Agency called that report baseless. The aircrafts black boxes have yet to be found. Sreenivasan kurdishled forces in syria have launched a new offensive near the Islamic State groups de facto capital. Fighting was reported in villages near the city of raqqa. It could be a prelude to an assault on the city itself. Woodruff in greece, officials began moving migrants today from a makeshift refugee camp near the northern border with macedonia. Police managed to get about 1,500 people to leave the squalid idomeni site and move to other, better organized facilities. They piled into buses, and bulldozers removed what was left of their tent shelters. Separately, the International Organization for migration reported fewer migrants are dying as they try to reach europe. Thats largely because turkey has curbed the overall flow. Back in this krish the Justice Department announced late today that it is seeking the Death Penalty for the killings at a church in south carolina. Dylan roof is accused of gunning down nine black parishioners last june. He faces 33 federal charges, including hate crimes and firearms offenses. Sreenivasan Comedian Bill Cosby will stand trial for allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting a woman in 2004. A judge in norristown, pennsylvania issued that ruling today. Cosby left the hearing without commenting, but the prosecutor said statements to police back in 2005 established probable cause. A preliminary hearing is a situation where we only have to show that a crime is committed and the defendant is connected to the crime. We did that through the victims statement and the defendants admissions to much of the crime. Sreenivasan a defense lawyer said cosbys rights have been violated, and hell appeal the ruling. More than 50 women have claimed he assaulted them over the years, but this is the only criminal case so far. Woodruff theres word that Kenneth Starr is out as president of Baylor University in texas. He was the independent counsel who investigated president clinton. Several broadcast and online outlets reported today that starr has been fired over his handling of allegations of rape leveled against male athletes at the school. Baylor labeled the report rumors.

The centers for Disease Control and prevention says 15 of adults classified themselves as smokers in 2015. That is down from 17 the year before. Its unclear if the rise of e cigarettes played any role. Sreenivasan monsanto today rejected a takeover bid by german chemical giant bayer. It was valued at 62 billion. And wall street had its biggest day since march. The Dow Jones Industrial average gained 213 points to close at 17,706. The nasdaq rose 95 points and the s p 500 added 28. Woodruff still to come on the newshour a shakeup at the t. S. A. Will it help cut down Long Airport Lines congress at odds over zika funding with mosquito season fast approaching, a tax on sugar drinks to pay for preschool, and much more. Sreenivasan if youve traveled on a plane recently, youve likely seen Something Different at the airport extremely long lines. Its a problem roiling the government, airlines and the public. One on the left, one on the right please. Sreenivasan at airports across the country, frustration is boiling over as security wait times soar. Ive missed three flights because of, you know, standing in line. Look at the chaos that goes on here, and every checkpoint is like this. Sreenivasan now, the Transportation Security Administration has sacked kelly hogan, the man in charge of day today security operations. Hes had a checkered threeyear tenure. In 2015, a Homeland Security report found t. S. A. Employees failed to find banned items in more than 95 of covert tests. And thereve been allegations that hogan played a role in punishing whistleblowers. Then, theres 90,000 in bonuses he received between 2013 and 2014. That issue riled the chair of the House Oversight committee, at a recent hearing with t. S. A. Head peter neffenger. Those bonuses were given to somebody who oversees a part of the operation that was in total failure. Sreenivasan dissatisfaction with hoggan came to a head last week, when hundreds of passengers missed flights at chicagos Ohare Airport after waiting for hours. This was always avoidable. We have a situation that is totally not tolerable for the flying public because of people responsible were not doing the job they needed to do in funding, but also staffing positions. Sreenivasan the t. S. A. s neffenger says his agency has struggled with budget cuts at a time when more people are flying. Another concern relatively few people signed up for t. S. A. s expedited precheck procedure. Congress has voted an additional 34 million to hire nearly 800 more screeners, but neffenger says thats not enough. Today, the union for t. S. A. One is overall staffing for screeners is down Something Like 5800 screeners since the peak in 2011. They have about 42,500, but its much fewer than they used to. That i. G. Report that found they werent catching much last summer has prompted them to check bags more thoroughly, so theyre taking a closer look at you as you go through the lines. Theyre going to redo that undercoverup investigation this summer to see. Theyre catching more. Neffenger says they are catching more. And we are also seeing more travelers than ever before. The airlines for america expects 231 million travelers this summer between june 1 and august 31. Sreenivasan so whats the Ripple Effect on the traveler . When we saw and heard those people say how many flights that theyve missed. Cumulatively this has to be a lot of Business Concern for the airlines, too. Yeah, the concerns its a headache for the airlines because anybody missing a flight, trying to rebook them, the flights are going almost 90 full. Its dill. American airlines said during a single week in midmarch they had 6800 travelers miss their flights because of the security screening. Thats why airlines for americas orged a hashtag and web site called the hate the wait to try to get more public acknowledgment to the problem. Sreenivasan we were talking about camera for global entry. I was going through the t. S. A. Precheck lines. How many other people are joining me in this and how does that factor in . Overall, there are 10 Million People in expedited screening programs so far. About 2. 5 million of them are specifically precheck, which is the t. S. A. Program. If youre in global entry through customs and border protection, that gives you the added value when youre coming back from overseas, you get to go through the customs lines faster, scipt long lines from the airlines. Theyre trying to recruit more people into these programs, but so far theyre falling well below 10 million total members, theyre falling far below their goal of 25 million in these expedited programs. Sreenivasan have these point increased the number of applications . They were getting 2,000 to 3,000 applicantaise day at this time last year. Now they are up above 10,000 a day. Last week, neffenger told us this morning they got 15,000 people in one day. Sreenivasan you met with neffenger this morning before the news about hoggan came out. What was the mood there . Well, yeah, he set up we had an Editorial Board arranged with him before this news broke. He was very forthright saying that he didnt say that hoggan had done something wrong. He just said he wanted a change of strategy. He wants to try to make the lines more efficient, rather than just going faster for people. They dont want to sacrifice security for moving the lines. Nevertheless, they think they can move the lines for efficiently and get people through faster. Sreenivasan almost every travel agent i speak with says its going to get worse through the summer. Yes, the secretary of Homeland Security, jeh johnson, has warned even as they add the screeners that was mentioned in your report, that lines are still expected to be long. You should plan ahead. But they are going to try to avoid the two and threehour waits that youve seen in the last few weeks. Sreenivasan all right, bart jansen of usa today, thanks so much. Thank you for having woodruff now to capitol hill and washingtons efforts to combat the zika virus. Back in february, the white house put together a 1. 9 billion proposal aimed at Mosquito Control, education about zika, plus, boosting research into the virus, and a possible vaccine. Last week, the Republican Controlled Senate moved a compromise measure, for less than twothirds that amount over the next year 1. 1 billion. But the also g. O. Pcontrolled house signed off on a bill for 622 million, over six months. Joining me now from opposite sides of this funding divide are representative rosa delauro, a democrat from connecticut, and representative bob gibbs, republican from ohio. And we welcome both of you to the program. Congressman gibbs, let me begin with you. The administration, as we said, asking for 1. 9 billion. The amount you favor is about a third that much. Why not give the administration what its asking for . Well, what the administration did thats ongoing through at least the next two mosquito seasons, our bill, at 600 millionplus, goes to the end of the fiscal year, september 30, and now were in the appropriation process, and well look at that, what we need to do past september 30 of this year going into the next fiscal year and the next mosquito season next summer. Well be appropriating more money, im sure, but its going to go through regular order and the regular appropriation process. Were on board to make sure to appropriate the money thats needed to get through to the end of this fiscal year. Woodruff congresswoman delauro tsound like a down payment on this problem. Does that sound like it will be enough . The fact is the zika virus is a Public Health emergency. It is a crisis. It is going to the mosquitoes that carry the virus will hit the mainland United States within the next few weeks. We are putting american women at risk, pregnant women, who are fearful that their babies will be born with birth defects. And we have a medical community that is telling women that maybe they should not get pregnant. That is not message to the american people. The fact of the matter is, is that the 622 million is a third of whats been asked for. You know, in this body, when we deal with appropriations for defense or going to war, my republican colleagues will say, let us get the word from the generals, from those who are in the field, the experts. They can tell us how much money they need. And they can tell us how many troops we need. Well, we do have experts in this war on the mosquitos. We have the center for Disease Control. We have the National Institutes of health. We have the scientific community, all of whom said we need 1. 9 billion. And they have documented every cent of that as to where it is going opinion we need to listen to these generals in the field on this war on the mosquitos. And keep the American Public safe and american women safe. Woodruff congressman gibbs, its not just democrats who are saying that this is not enough money. One of your fellow republicans in the senate, marco rubio, of florida, said today that this is not enough money, the 622 million. He went on to say that he fears that the opportunity to get ahead of this crisis is slipping away. What do you say to him . Well, i think were going through the appropriation process, and if its not enough money well do the appropriation bills here in the next few weeks, and well appropriate more money when we go through request do our due diligence. But another issue i need on talk about is my bill, 897, deals with how we control mosquitoes and kill the larvae in mosquitos here before they hatch, and thats a bill i had on the floor today, passed with strong bipartisan support. And it gives our states and local communities the resources, the ability not to have additional red tape and bureaucracy and dont Waste Resources to do their control efforts, to start doing the preventive programs, the onset at the beginning of the mosquito season. And thats really important and a lot of people on the other side of the iefg are not supportive of this and its really something that needs to be done so our local communities, mosquitocontrol districts have every tool in the toolbox to start preventive programs to stop the mosquitoes from growing in population and possibly reaching epidemic proportions of the zika virus or even the west nile virus. Woodruff congresswoman delauro, my understanding this legislation that the congressman is referring to would loosen the restrictions on the use of pesticides. Is that at least a partial step in the right direction . Let me make two quick point to you. We running out of time. It was Anthony Fauci at the n. I. H. , at the center for infectious diseases, who said that if we wait for the appropriations process, we are not going to be able to do what we need to do to get ahead of this virus. On the bill that my colleague has introduced, let me be clear with all due respect to my colleague, it is a phony. It is a sham. It is nothing but trying to weaken the environmental regulations. It exempts, broad exemption of toxic pesticides from the cleann water act. This bill was introduced two or three years ago, has noct to do with zika. Our states and municipalities today have the authority in which to be able to control the mosquito population and to and to deal with it. This will only pollute our rivers and contaminate our water. This bill that was passed today has n
