good evening. i'm dan ashley. children were sick and some even died because a study years ago linked autism to vaccines but now british scientists say

that research was not just wrong but a scam, a fraud that cost childrens lives. >> this is the man who changed the way many parents made decisions about the health of their children and who tonight is being accused of telling lies that have hurt families worldwide. in 1998 dr. andrew wakefield, a british surgeon and researchers released a study of 12 children eight of whom who started displaying symptoms after being measleson nighted from and pumps and rubella. dr. wickfield set up a firestorm. it is now an article of fate that vaccines are the reason that children cannot function normally in the world. today, a prominent medical journal says the study was in fact an elaborate fraud. >> i think what dr. wakefield did was a moral crime if not an actual crime. >> working for the british

medical journal, investigative reporter brian deer compared the actual medical records of the 12 children to the symptoms reported by dr. wake field and he found that wakefield changed the data. according to the reports, some of the children the doctor claimed had autism were in fact perfectly healthy and some that he claimed were six after being vaccinated were in fact sick before they got the vaccine. i think his motive was money. >> he was paid around $750,000 for his research by lawyers who were trying to sue themakers of the measles vaccine. tonight, many in the medical community are reacting with outrage. pointing out that after the study vaccination rates dropped dramatically. >> what happened is that children have suffered and have been hospitalized and died because of the false notion that vaccines cause autism.

>> although dr. wake field has been stripped of his medical license he is still out pushing his theory. >> dan harris, abc news, new york. the city of san bruno is holding a meeting right now to talk about how to spend nearly $400,000 in donations for the victims of the pipeline disaster. most residents are concerned that the money has yet to be distributed so many months after the explosion. >> when i went down to give my donation i asked where this money was going to go and they said it was going directly to the fire victims. four months have gone by, they haven't received anything. i would like to know why. >> our first impulse was to just kind of take a step back and see what was being done and try to identify gaps and to this point we have not found a glaring need where we felt that those funds should be used. >> city officials insist that every penny will go to the

victims ultimately. the ideas presented tonight will go to the city council and it will have the final say on how the donations are spent. meantime, the state public utilities commission is under pressure over pipeline safety. it comes after the federal government issued urgent recommendations because of the san bruno explosion. heather ishimaru with that part of the story. >> the natural gas pipeline that exploded and killed 8 people in san bruno in september was made from pieces of pipe welded together but pg&e's records showed it was seamless and that means it might have been operated at an unsafe pressure level. the ntsb recommended that pg&e verify all its records and that the cpuc oversee all of the process. they accelerated work begun in september. >> the first thick we have pg&e doing is look at all of the records of pipeline segments and construction records and what happened once the

pipelines were installed. make sure all of those jive. if they do we have less concern. if they don't red flags. >> we asked how there could be a gap in the records and what was actually put in the ground in 1956. >> we need to wait for the ntsb to make the conclusions in the area. it is a prime focus of the investigation. >> reporter: he says the recommendation that pipeline operateors nationwide verify records as well shows pg&e might not be the only one with dangerous discrepancies. >> there was a lot of building of natural gas pipelines during the '40s and '50s and records were not so good. computers were not used and it was pieces of papers in file. >> reporter: testified at a hearing called by peninsula assemblyman jerry hill. the typical pressure for a pipe like the one in san bruno is around 1,000-pounds but pg&e operated it at only 400. >> i wouldn't say whether they

knew it was seamless or not but it is a defect or admission that they understand that something caused the pipeline not to run at a higher pressure. >> pg&e says they operated the pipe at 400 to keep the pressure low enough for the smaller pipelines connecting with it. on monday,resentative jackie spears says the san bruno explosion was the result of regulatory fail. >> there was a fatal explosion that killed eight people. nobody involved in operating the pipeline system, regulating the pipeline system at the state level, local level or federal level can say the system worked. it didn't. >> reporter: the ntsb will hold a fact finding hearing in washington in march. heather ishimaru, abc 7 news. six people shot, two in critical condition and tonight a neighborhood is living in fear. police are searching for whoever is responsible for this. the shooting happened on 89th avenue in east oakland late last night. one are the victims a man just watching television in his

>> the format is a little different because what happened in valencia is that the teams moved there for a three year period and there were ten teams and, you know, it is a little different story. >> reporter: paul believe there'sle be some where between six and eight teams in san francisco and that the america's cup is more of a development deal, a chance for the city to develop bayfront piers that have been underutilized and in need of repair. at the post celebration news conference ellison insisted more teams are coming. >> four challengers now, five counting you. when do you expect to see the other dozen? >> i think we know of about, you know, five more that i think will be entering shortly. but, you know, we are hopeful that there are a bunch of countries interested. we hope to get the chinese here and japanese here. over the next 12 months i think we will have more entries. >> reporter: well, if we do get more teams over the next 12
