Dean reynolds has the report which is being called a light shining into darkness. Reporter the Police Accountability task force shed a harsh new light on an old problem. Lori lightfoot chaired the panel. Many people said that they believe that the police they encountered were fundamentally racist. Reporter she said the departments own data validate the widely held belief the police have no regard for the san kt tee of life when it comes to people of color. Between 200 and 2015, 74 of people here shot or killed by the cops were black. 76 of the time police used tasers. They used them on black people. They are killing our reporter as protesters took to the streets over the shooting death of a black teenager by cops this week, the report was urging changes in police union contracts, which it said encourage a code of silence that protects bad officers. Mayor rahm emanuel. The question isnt does we have racism, we do. The question is what are you going to do about it . Reporter the mayor picked the panel after the 2014 death of 17yearold Laquan Mcdonald at the hands of a white policeman who shot him 16 times and later claimed his life was in danger. Among the reports, 100 recommendations, a city wide reconciliation process beginning with acknowledgement by the police of their history of bias. A hotline for police to report wrongdoing. And an expanded use of body cameras. Andy shaw is with the better government association. The lack of accountability is staggering and more staggering why havent we collectively done more about it up till now . Expensive problem, too, scott. Because over the last 12 years the city of chicago has had to shell out some 650 million to settle cases of police brutality. Just yesterday, chicago swore in a new africanamerican police superintendent. Dean, thank you very much. Nine people have been killed today in an earthquake in southern japan. This is what the 6. 2 quake looked like in the newsroom. Dozens of homes collapsed. Fires broke outen a number of cities. Several aftershocks have been felt. There has just been another quake 6. 5 near the Pacific Island of vanauatu. Two years ago today, the islamic terrorist group, boko haram kidnapped 276 school girls in nigeria. Despite a Worldwide Campaign to free them, more than 200 are now, we are seeing some of them for the first time in a terrorist video. Deborah patta has the it. Reporter softspoken, eyes downcast. The girls answer the voice off camera. Theyre being treated well. But they want to go home. Boko haram claims it made the video last december. We cant verify the date. Today, parents instantly recognized the school girls on the video. Esther yakuba was devastated when she didnt spot her daughter. Two years after the girls were kidnapped their school lies abandoned. The Nigerian Government has been unable to free the girls or even find them. A source close to the negotiations told us, boko haram prisoner release in exchange for the girls. But it all fell apart when the government refused to pay. According to human rights groups, boko haram kidnapped over 2,000 girls in last two years. Those who managed to escape often end up in refugee camps in neighboring cameroon. They tell harrowing stories of rape, being forced to marry the fighters, even being groomed as suicide bombers. Today, relatives of the missing girls accused the government of failing to put enough resources into the search. All we want, said one, is for the government to bring back our girls. For now, negotiations between the Nigerian Government and boko haram have completely stalled. There have been reports since the kidnappings that some of the girls might have been moved out of the country or even killed. But the bottom line, scott, is that two years on, not a single debora patta reporting from johannesburg, south africa. Debora, thank you. Still ahead, once in danger.

Whats unusual seeing this man from this perspective. Marine biologist owen nichols studied them for 15 years. Why has the seal population increased over the last few decades . They were essentially exterminated, extripated from the waters since the 60s. You are seeing a resurgence of seals. Theyre federally protected. Correct. Reporter before 1972, when Marine Mammal protection act went into effect. Sightings of even a single seal were rare. But today, we spotted hundreds on the uninhabited nature reserve where the aerial video was shot. Biologists say resurgence of seals here is likely one of the reasons there has also been a rise in the number of sharks in the waters looking for food. Researchers counted 68 great whites off cape cod in 2014. That number doubled to 140 last year. But the hoards of seals are not only attracting sharks, local fishermen like doug feeney say theyre eating to many fish. To us as fishermen, thats way too much. Its very taxing on us. Reporter an 800 pound male could consume 6 of his body weight each day. Thats 50 pounds of fish including valuable species like feeney and the biologists nichols are part of an ally alliance, trying to find middle ground between conservation and protecting the livelihood of the fishermen.

Standing expectation that everybody running release their tax returns and you can go, you can go to my website and see eight years of tax returns. And i have released 30 years of tax returns. And i think every candidate including senator sanders and donald trump should do the same. Secretary clinton we will get to the tax returns to. Put a button on this. You are running now for the democratic nomination. It is your democratic opponent and many democratic voters who want to see those transcripts. It is not about the republicans. [ applause ] let you know lets set the same standard for everybody. When everybody does it okay. I will do it. Lets set and expect the same standard on tax returns. Everybody does it. And then we move forward. Thank you. Well let me respond. Secretary clinton, you just it she will do it. I will do it.
