:00:13. > :00:18.Welcome, most wanted, the news pouring in about the drug lord who

:00:46. > :00:54.do they do it? How could all of us get more out of our dirt -- date? --
:00:55. > :00:59.day? Good evening to you on this Monday
:01:00. > :01:03.night. We begin the week with a big victory for the people fighting the
:01:04. > :01:09.river of illegal drugs entering the US. It is the capture of the man,
:01:10. > :01:13.Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, and we have new details tonight about the
:01:14. > :01:19.brilliant and diabolical ways he was bringing drugs into an American
:01:20. > :01:21.neighbourhoods. Our correspondent from Fusion has been tracking the
:01:22. > :01:28.story and this mans the years and she begins us now. Joaquin "El
:01:29. > :01:32.Chapo" Guzman, the alleged billionaire drug trafficker on the
:01:33. > :01:36.run for 13 years. His arrest was called the biggest setback to the
:01:37. > :01:41.drug trade in three decades. Once named one of the most powerful man
:01:42. > :01:45.in the world, Guzman was caught here in a simple apartment, a single
:01:46. > :01:49.rifle by his side. Toiletries were scattered across the bet and in the
:01:50. > :01:55.kitchen there was food on the counter and pans on the stove. In
:01:56. > :01:59.the bedroom, there was a child's playpen, allegedly with him was his
:02:00. > :02:04.beauty queen wife and young American-born twin daughters.
:02:05. > :02:08.Mexican special forces -- forces captured one of the most wanted men
:02:09. > :02:15.without a struggle. We have been able to cripple not only Guzman by
:02:16. > :02:22.capturing him but also the organisation itself. Guzman has
:02:23. > :02:26.evaded authorities before, slipping through a trapdoor in a bath tub
:02:27. > :02:32.into and collaborate network of tunnels that were reinforced with
:02:33. > :02:36.steel doors. Drug tunnels, a concept he allegedly pioneered and some cost
:02:37. > :02:39.over $1 million to build. He made the money back in a month carrying
:02:40. > :02:47.the river of drugs into the US and guns and cash out across the border
:02:48. > :02:53.into Mexico. I entered one of these tunnels in Arizona, descending over
:02:54. > :02:58.60 feet. It can get toxic event is not enough oxygen. People can die
:02:59. > :03:02.here. That is why we have this ventilation. It wasn't only
:03:03. > :03:10.tunnels, PIE build a 100 foot long submarine to smuggle drugs. --
:03:11. > :03:15.Guzman. That it tales of drugs being held over the border fence. He is
:03:16. > :03:19.believed to supply more than 25% of drugs into the US, and blamed for
:03:20. > :03:28.thousands of death here in -- and in Mexico. The city made him public
:03:29. > :03:32.enemy number one though he has never been there before. Marianna joins us
:03:33. > :03:37.now, you say he has never been in Chicago. Ways that the centre of his
:03:38. > :03:41.operation? He decided he wanted to make Chicago the centre of his
:03:42. > :03:45.operations because it has the fourth or fifth largest Mexican population
:03:46. > :03:49.outside of Mexico and it is the ideal distribution centre for drugs
:03:50. > :03:53.to be smuggled through the midwest. White what are the odds he will be
:03:54. > :04:04.brought back into the secure prison system in the US? The US plan to
:04:05. > :04:06.seek his extradition but this is a big political victory for the
:04:07. > :04:14.president and one that he will probably not give up easily. Thank
:04:15. > :04:23.you so much. We want everyone to know you will have more on Fusion,
:04:24. > :04:26.our partner network. Moving to a landmark announcement
:04:27. > :04:30.about America as a fighting force. The secretary of defense has said it
:04:31. > :04:36.is time to move away from the era of the ground wars, like Afghanistan,
:04:37. > :04:42.and time to cut the US military into a team ready for the 21st century.
:04:43. > :04:49.Our correspondent on the headline and the argument erupting tonight.
:04:50. > :04:55.It would be a big change. Rethinking America's military, Bal enemies, the
:04:56. > :05:03.wars and how much we spend. -- our enemies. On the chopping block, the
:05:04. > :05:09.number of American soldiers, from a proposed 490,000 down to as low as
:05:10. > :05:15.440,000. Watch America's forces spike during World War II, Korea,
:05:16. > :05:19.Vietnam. These new cuts would see America with the fewest soldiers
:05:20. > :05:27.since before all of these wars. And in the skies, a 40-year-old aircraft
:05:28. > :05:34.to be retired. To be replaced by newer aircraft, including the effort
:05:35. > :05:43.if I fight to get. And the famed spy jet would be replaced. -- F35
:05:44. > :05:48.fighter jet. And America will continue to invest in its special
:05:49. > :05:51.operations forces and cyber warfare. We chose further reductions in order
:05:52. > :05:56.to sustain our readiness and technological superiority. But
:05:57. > :06:01.predicting the future of war is never perfect science. Dick say the
:06:02. > :06:07.cuts signal a weakness and an opportunity for future enemies. --
:06:08. > :06:12.critics say. This has to be approved by Congress, which would be a tough
:06:13. > :06:15.sell. But one haunting thought, a recently retired general told me
:06:16. > :06:22.today he worries about slashing the number of troops. He said he
:06:23. > :06:26.remembers the day before 911 when he held in his hand a recommendation to
:06:27. > :06:30.cut America's troops. Of course that's a cut that never happened.
:06:31. > :06:35.And the stage has been set for the big debate. Thank you.
:06:36. > :06:38.Overseas for the latest on the people in Ukraine. The former
:06:39. > :06:44.president there is still on the run. A warrant has accused him of the
:06:45. > :06:47.mass killing of civilians. Now, ordinary Ukrainians are getting a
:06:48. > :06:53.glimpse of his house. Goldplated fixtures, opulent furnishings. But
:06:54. > :06:58.the big question, will Russia try to hold onto its influence in Ukraine?
:06:59. > :07:02.Even as it seems to be turning towards the West. Tonight, a call
:07:03. > :07:07.help from the African country of Uganda. A new law says gay citizens
:07:08. > :07:13.can be given jail terms there, even life in prison. People who protect
:07:14. > :07:14.gays can be in prison as well. In an act of defiance, aimed at the United
:07:15. > :07:27.States. To be gay tonight in Uganda is to be
:07:28. > :07:31.a criminal facing severe punishment. The new law, signed by the president
:07:32. > :07:36.today, calls for 14 years in prison for a first time offender, life in
:07:37. > :07:41.prison for what it described as repeat offenders. The official
:07:42. > :07:45.charge, aggravated homosexuality. If you don't report a loved one or
:07:46. > :07:50.friend who is gay, you are breaking the law. Today, the White House,
:07:51. > :07:55.which sends Uganda more than $400 million in aid every year, had sharp
:07:56. > :07:58.words. We will continue to urge the government to repeal this abhorrent
:07:59. > :08:08.law. We recently travelled to the country, where being gay means
:08:09. > :08:10.living in constant fear. With American evangelical Christians
:08:11. > :08:15.accused of coming in and fanning the flames, we interviewed an American
:08:16. > :08:20.educated man who led the charge for this new anti-gay law. There is a
:08:21. > :08:23.common theory that the people who have the biggest problems with gays
:08:24. > :08:30.and lesbians have themselves struggled with homosexuality. No!
:08:31. > :08:35.Have you ever? Does that mean everyone who fights terrorism is a
:08:36. > :08:40.terrorist? Are you comparing homosexuality to terrorism? It is
:08:41. > :08:44.sexual terrorism. There's no question that those who are
:08:45. > :08:53.experiencing terror are Uganda's gay people, faced with going to present
:08:54. > :08:58.just for being in love. A challenge to the egg muffin, the
:08:59. > :09:08.symbol of a nation that likes breakfast on the run. Taco Bell will
:09:09. > :09:13.counter now. It's a classic all-American
:09:14. > :09:19.breakfast. Taco Bell is now opening for breakfast. Then you breakfast
:09:20. > :09:24.menu, seven years in the making, includes an egg stuffed taco,
:09:25. > :09:33.smothered in syrup. Breakfast Rico is. Why is Taco Bell doing this? The
:09:34. > :09:38.industry is going all the time. McDonalds, where a quarter of their
:09:39. > :09:43.business rights on Breakfast, says it is looking at extending its
:09:44. > :09:45.breakfast cut-off time. The fast food giants of today's the
:09:46. > :09:51.opportunity in the changing American breakfast. We eat in record time.
:09:52. > :09:56.The typical American breakfast is just 13 minutes. Like the 1950s, we
:09:57. > :10:02.still eat eggs and bacon, only the eat them as on the go sandwiches.
:10:03. > :10:07.So, expect to see a bright and shining battle for your breakfast
:10:08. > :10:18.dollars. In a startling note, 87 he -- this
:10:19. > :10:22.87-year-old man who still curves, accessing Congress says he will
:10:23. > :10:25.retire. He says it has become a noxious because of the intense

:11:54. > :11:58.Back at home, the move into a court room in New York you -- where today
:11:59. > :12:02.one of America's most famous families turned out to support one
:12:03. > :12:06.of their own. The daughter of Robert Kennedy, who said she had a car
:12:07. > :12:09.accident while driving under the influence of a sweeping bill. As the
:12:10. > :12:12.trial got under way, the question of sleep driving took centre stage. --

:12:23. > :12:28.court, at her side the matriarch of the family. Her mother and two of
:12:29. > :12:34.her brothers. We aren't going to comment. It is an image we have come
:12:35. > :12:39.to expect. In times of trial, the family draws near. The 54-year-old
:12:40. > :12:44.is the daughter of the late Robert Kennedy. Her brother, pictured here,
:12:45. > :12:50.and her brother, just a baby, were both present in court today. She is
:12:51. > :12:56.charged with drug driving after crashing a car in July, 2012. I want
:12:57. > :13:01.to apologise to the driver of the truck who I apparently hit and do
:13:02. > :13:06.all those I endangered while driving my car. She contends the morning of
:13:07. > :13:12.the crash she may have mistakenly taken the powerful sleep drug
:13:13. > :13:14.Ambien, confusing it with her thyroid pill. In court, the lawyer
:13:15. > :13:34.said she was: Now, a mystery illness out West that
:13:35. > :13:38.has concerned parents phoning their doctors tonight. Strange symptoms
:13:39. > :13:40.that come on fast and strike children without warning.
:13:41. > :13:49.Reminiscent of a disease thought to be one vanquished, polio.
:13:50. > :13:54.Doctors thought this four-year-old had asthma. Then came the weakness
:13:55. > :13:59.in her left leg and paralysis in her left arm. Doctors say she is one of
:14:00. > :14:05.five children in California showing signs of a mysterious polio-like
:14:06. > :14:11.illness and they are investigating as many as 25 more. The average age
:14:12. > :14:17.is 12 and all are unable to move some or all of their limbs. There
:14:18. > :14:21.can be mild improvement but overruled the level of paralysis
:14:22. > :14:24.remained severe. The children had been vaccinated against polio.
:14:25. > :14:28.Researchers suspect this could be a related virus. They are asking
:14:29. > :14:38.doctors around the country to look for other cases. They say most of
:14:39. > :14:46.the viruses don't end in paralysis. This seems to be a rare case.
:14:47. > :14:51.Next, all of us sleepless in America. In fact, two thirds of
:14:52. > :14:54.Americans say they are getting enough sleep. Tonight, you are going
:14:55. > :14:57.to meet people who say that less than four hours, even one-hour, is
:14:58. > :15:07.plenty. Like so many of us, this woman is

:15:17. > :15:23.this than four hours sleep. -- fosters. She says she is never
:15:24. > :15:28.tired. I feel like I am living my life, rather than sleeping it. Her
:15:29. > :15:33.father is the same. He gets by on little less than one hour. I'm not
:15:34. > :15:38.Superman. I feel lucky. It's not luck, it is genetics. Researchers
:15:39. > :15:46.call them short sleepers. They say it is because a genetic mutation.

:16:18. > :16:23.sleep. Researchers say less than 1% of the population is made up of
:16:24. > :16:27.genuine short sleepers. Many people think they are. In the future, they
:16:28. > :16:31.might be. Researchers helped to develop a drug better than caffeine
:16:32. > :16:35.to keep you awake. How do you know how much sleep in it? The next day
:16:36. > :16:40.you have a couple of days off, go to sleep, don't set an alarm. You wake
:16:41. > :16:44.up, you will have your answer. We'll short sleepers wake up after four
:16:45. > :16:50.hours, even on vacation. As for me, I gave it a shot. I feel tired,
:16:51. > :16:55.irritable. I am not ready for the day. For ours is clearly not enough.
:16:56. > :17:03.Take a look at this simple reaction test. Without a full night's sleep,
