Disaster in Japan- Monday, March 14th

The worst earthquake in Japan's recorded history. More than 10,000 dead and many more still missing. Thousands are in shelters and a nuclear reactor still threatens the area with radiation leakage, forcing evacuations. I talked to people that were lucky enough catch a flight out of Tokyo so quickly.

WI union protests, Feb 26 '11

I traveled to Madison, WI to report on the protests there, opposing a bill that would end most collective bargaining rights for union workers. Governor Scott Walker insists his state is broke and that this is the only way to save the state from collapse- he is also making public workers pay more into their health care and pensions.
