one state on the west coast is learning the hard way. and to attack or pro. what is more natural for a dog? part two of our serery, deciphering dogs. ♪ clear good evening, everyone. the syria peace talks have hit a roadblock. breaking down over the weekend and today the u.s. accused syrian president of paralyzing negotiations with the help of rush a other allies of damascus. russia points the finger at nations backing the rebels. richelle is here to get us started. >> as the diplomatic efforts stall, millions are freeing

crossing into different countries. these are the images received from syria, of the shelling, the suffering, they only tell part of the story, these people tell the other. a steady stream of refugees fleeing the war-torn country. pictures like these show wave after wave of women, men, children, children like this 4-year-old boy crossing into jordan and facing an uncertain future. he speaks to the polite of many from syria. he is just one of the hundreds of thousands of syrian children nowlying in refugee camps. it's those stories that inspired people like this industrialian actor to get involved, becoming a save the children ambassador. >> forget the authority, and the politics, kids and their familiar list need help, and we

help them. >> arnold visited a refugee camp last month, an experience he says changed his life. this team -- the teen shot in the head by the taliban, and what she saw brought her to tears. >> there are 2.4 million registered refugees, and in jordan alone that number is 570,000. thanks very much. now we continue with crimes so horrific and widespread they haven't been seen since the naz nazis. james bayes reports from geneva. >> reporter: a north korean detector weeps as she recalls the oh she and her family

received before they escaped. there have been many investigations into human rights in north korea but never one as comprehensive as this. getting a picture of what goes on in this state is very difficult. the international commission of inquiry finds massive repression, torture, execution, systematic rape, and objection of foreigners. many of these crimes against humanity all a part of a planned system of political control. north korea's leader recently executed his uncle, once the second-most powerful man in the country, and a number of other relatives. kim age 31 took over for his father just two years ago. but the commission has written a

letter to him, in it, it says . . . >> no one will be able to say in the future, if only we had known about north korea, as they said after the second word war. well, now everyone will know, and it will be available in our report, and it is a wake-up signal to the world and hopefully to the leaders in north korea. >> the commission may want to see senior figures face international justice, but does not have the power to make that happen. this hard-hitting report will be presented in about a month's time and they will pass it to the un general assembly, but neither of those powers have the ability to refer things to the international criminal court.

an international court case seems a distant prospect, but this report backed with the weight of the un perhaps brings it a little closer. james bayes, al jazeera. it was a routine overnight flight that turned terrifying. >> please don't move. keep your hands on your head. >> you are looking at amateur video taken by a passenger. a co-pilot locked his pilot out of the cockpit and rerouted the plane. a black teenager is dead, and a white gunman not convicted of murder, after a mixed verdict, prosecutors are now

planning to retry michael dunn. david shuster reports. >> reporter: on the first degrees murder charge it was not the resolution that anybody had wanted. >> based on the inability to reach a verdict as to count i, i would declare that mistried. >> reporter: the jury found dunn guilty of three mounts of attempted murder, one of each of the ooer teenagers who were with davis. >> we will continue to stand and continue to wait for justice for jordan. >> reporter: and the prosecutor said that even though dunn will spend the rest of his life in prison, the state will retry him on the first degree murder charge. dunn pulled into this gas station in jacksonville,

florida, and parked next to an suv full of black teenagers. loud music was coming from the car. dunn expressed his anger, words were exchanged and then dunn fired into the suv. dunn said that davis had threatened him with a gun. >> this guy goes down on the ground and comes up with something, i thought it was a shotgun, and he goes you are dead [ censor bleep ]. >> over the weekend there were marches and demonstrations as residents struggle to make sense of the verdict. florida's stand your ground law says that a citizen has no duty to retreat from an aggressor if they suspect they could be

killed or hurt. the jury in the dunn case has not spoken about their four days of deliberations, but it's clear they could not agree. if dunn had a premedicated intent to kill, the threshold of convicting him of murder in the first degree. until then confusion and grief still reign in florida. this past sunday davis could have turned 19. dante berry joins us in new york he is the vice president of the million hoodie's march for justice which was formed after the killing of trayvon martin. what was your reaction to the verdict? >> this verdict, there's a lot of frustration, and i think this frustration exceeds a lot of the things that had happened with

trayvon martin, and overall, over the course of this country, i think, you also see a lot of folks that are emotionally, physically, and mentally really dead -- >> explain why? >> in the sense that we still didn't receive justice. michael dunn was getting off on lesser grounds for -- for not actually killing jordan davis, and the value of black lives, the value of people of color, was yet again not valued in this decision. >> does it matter that he would be going to prison for the rest of his life? >> it does matter. i think the fact that he was found guilty definitely counts for something, but in the sense of what the value is that he killed jordan davis, being the ultimate reason for why he was on trial, and the fact that it is a mistrial, that purposefully, i think does not

provide full justice for jordan davis. >> go deeper and explain why you say this verdict reflects left of a value on life of african-americans. >> right. that's a great question. in the sense of this verdict, you see in light of also trayvon martin, constantly, and constantly again, there are statistics that show when people of color are going against -- their white counterparts, the likelihood of them getting off is -- is less, so in the sense of value of black lives the balance in i have the justice system holds them accountable for the killer's murder is not there. >> what if a juror were to say to you, and i haven't heard from a juror lately, but if a juror was to say that didn't enter into my decision, you would say what? >> that's tough -- that's a

very, very tough count there. >> because i think -- i mean, we have had people from your organization on before, and i hear exactly what you are saying. but was this intentional on the part of the jury or just part of our justice system. >> i think that is part of the justice system. when our jew dish shall system was created it wasn't considered with colored people in mind. and the people of florida have been doing a big campaign around hashtag [ inaudible ]. >> dante, it's good to have you on the program, thanks for sharing your thoughts. >> thank you. as you know, california continues to struggle through one of the worst droughts ever.

our correspondent is live near big bear lake in california. >> reporter: hi, john. you can see we have got the big-snow making machines ready to go, because fingered crossed temperatures are expected to drop over the next few days, operators are hoping to use that moment to create snow, because they are not getting any natural snow this year. less than a foot of snow in the last ten months. northeast of los angeles, skiers who were hoping to get a few runs in over the weekend had to go biking or hiking because there is no snow on the slopes. business is down 50% from last year. i'm joined by brent who is with big bear mountain resorts.

why have you been able to keep snow here? >> we opened very thanks giving as usual, and have had really good snow-making temperatures early season, and then followed by warming trends, and then it gets cold and then warm again, so we do have a lot of water available to us, which is unusual, and that's really been our saving grace. >> reporter: but you still had to make some adjustments. you said you had one ski lift that was not running today. >> yeah, we have one lift out of 12 total, that we just probably won't make snow on. but we have 90% of the mountain all open, and it has actually been a pretty good year. so we're doing quite well. >> reporter: great. we wish you the best of luck. just two months left in this ski season, everybody keeping their

fingers crossed. >> thanks very much. from dry rivers out-west to frozen lakes in the midwest, huge chunks of ice are clogging coastal lines. >> reporter: it has been a busy season for the biscayne bay. their mission normally involved search and rescue. >> typically we're up north, northern lake michigan, northern lake huron. >> reporter: but this year's primary task is breaking through massive ice formations to help keep commercial transflowing. at this point more than 80% of the five great lakes combined are frozen. >> reporter: u.s. coast-guard cutters like this have been forced to expand their

operations to keep up with this year's demand from extreme temperatures. the biscayne bay has had to ship to the chicago area. >> that's unusual. >> reporter: tug boat operators say these conditions require more tug boats and extra time to break through the ice. >> the reduction in business itself dropped our sales anywhere from 35 to 50%, and in turn we had to layoff three-quarters of our work force to keep a skeletal crew on. so it has really impacted us. >> reporter: at the research lab in ann arbor, michigan, scientists monitor the ice daily. the last time the lakes were

this frozen was 20 years ago. >> the ice season got started early. we had that arctic vortex in end of december and early january, and the ice just kept building. >> reporter: the silver lining in all of this ice is that it reduces evaporation. the ice cover protects white fish and other species from winter storms, but should the conditions continue, the ice will only continue and that could be even bigger monks of ice breaking to come. coming up next fighting for the right to die. plus exporting jobs but importing crime, what happens to some towns once the jobs leave. and a day of protest in support

of al jazeera journalists.

it's called any aid in dying movement, and it is gaining traction across the country. it is now legal in five states.

>> reporter: it is a debate that has agonized so many. when it is time to go, and how? >> i want to be able to die with some dignity and some compassion surrounding me. >> reporter: modern medicine and new laws have helped the aid in dying movement to gain ground. the most recent state, new mexico last month, where a judge declared sick patients should be allowed help to die. >> the next morning the police came and decided a suicide. >> it is not for most people, but it is a bill that will help a select few people. >> reporter: reserved for only the sickest of patients who fully understand what they are facing. >> you have the right to change your mind. >> my mind is not changing.

>> all right. and what will this med case do? >> it will kill me and make me happy. >> reporter: documentaries show every step of the journey from mixing the lethal combination at home to help the loved ones. 750 people from died with doctor's help in oregon. demand that's only expected to grow as baby boomers age. >> first you are encouraging people who could have years to live to throw away their lives. two, the recipe for abuse. >> reporter: supporters say it's more about dignity when facing the question of when to stop the fight. our next guest suffers from

a severe heart condition, and joins us from colorado, a state that makes it illegal for assisted suicide. >> hello. my death is eminent. if i do not get the major operation to replace the replacement aortic heart valve that i already have now -- if i don't have that replaced, and that's my choice, i am not go through the operation again, my death is eminent -- >> why don't you want to go through the operation? >> because it's a very, very brutal procedure. once you have had it done one time, you probably don't ever want to do it again. they take your heart out of your chest cavity, basically disconnect your heart from your body, put you on life support, take your heart, cut it almost

in half, cut out we valve, stitch in the new cow valve and try to put it all back together and make you the same again. you are never really the same again. >> assisted suicide is illegal in colorado, so could you go to oregon to have this done or not? >> no, because i would have to become a -- like long-time resident. and it would take more time than what i have to become a resident there, and i would have to be working with two doctors for a period of time. so people out of those states cannot just show up to oregon, new mexico or the ore states to do this. >> what are you going to do? >> i'm hoping i'll get pen toe barbital, that's what they give you in oregon, and the right to life places to take when you are ready to take. if not, then i may have to find

some other means, and i'm hoping to find the most comfortable means to do this. >> you are not going to change your mind? >> oh, no. i'm not going through that operation again. there is just no way anybody can convince me to have that done. and i have talked to my doctors and surgeons and they understand the situation, and a few of them have said themselves that they would not want to go through this a second time. it's a brutal, brutal operation, but it is also a brutal death if you get it go to the end. i will basically drown in my own blood if i don't end it earlier. >> i want to bring in john kelly who is a disabled man who is opposed to assisted suicide. welcome to you, sir. >> thank you, john. >> so when you hear what robert has to say, what is your

reaction to it? >> my reaction is that robert desperately needs support. when he called the talk show in december, he said that he only had money enough to get through the end of the month, and if he couldn't get money by the end of december, he would have to call himself. so you knee in robert's case he needs support in terms of finances, in perhaps home making. he is very ill. i hope he is able to reach out to the atlantis community independent community center in denver -- lots of people like robert there who have been through chronic illness and choose to live -- >> i understand what you are saying about his particular case, but there are plenty of people who are in the same or even more difficult situations who face these decisions.

why shouldn't they be able to make up their own mind? >> you bring up the phrase extreme pain, and i object to the intro piece saying that 70% of americans supported assisted suicide if there was a need to end someone's life painlessly if they were in pain. if you look at the oregon report, what is reported is that it's not about pain, but about the social features of people's reactions to having a disability that comes along with perhaps a terminal illness. >> meaning what? >> what we say is everyone deserves the same level of suicide prevention services as young teenagers. and people asked robert about his finances, but unfortunately they can't ask about his life situation and what kind of support that he could used to continuallying independently, in his house with the assistance that he needs --

>> right, but it sounds as if you don't believe robert can make up his own mind? >> robert can definitely make up his own mind, but the state should not be getting involved in nuance decisions of when it's worthwhile to stay live or not. people with disabilities such as myself we constantly receive a barrage of messages that lives are not valuable and we would be better off dead. i face these issues every day, such as depending on other people for my care, for not controlling my bodily fluids. i think that has nothing to go with my dignity, and if one group of people thinks dignity involves killing themselves rather than allowing other people to help them, then the

state should not be doing that. >> the people you described like yourself, who are concerned that this law may be abused and the people who sincerely and truly want to do this and need hell. >> there isn't a way to fashion a law without such onerous safeguards that there's no way for it to proceed. proponents will not even allow for a mandatory psychological evaluation. they will not allow a witness from the state to be on hand. it's a bunch of poison. we have people who may feel like a burden. we have opportunities for abuse. one out of ten elders are abused every year. and what about the people who are depressed. people living with lived experience of psychiatric labels, and are we just going to

hand them a drug so they can kill themselves before we ask them is there a way we can keep you alive. disabled people have done that over the past 40 years, and robert is a classic example. >> right. i need -- i need to cut this off for a second, because i need to take a break, but robert i do want to give you a moment to respond. we'll do that after the break. also up next, the uaw defeated in tennessee, what it could mean for the future of unions in the united states. plus misinterpreted and now that misinformation could be putting america at risk. also desiring dogs, teaching them the difference between friend and foe.

♪ welcome back to al jazeera america. we have a lot to cover this half hour, including our discussion on the right to die. plus move to mexico. also lost in translation,

and now the bad information is costing taxpayers in washington state. and sit, stay, attack? training pet dogs to become guard dogs. >> thank you, john. a un investigation found north korea may be committing crimes against humanity. it's the first detailed look at hue plan rights. the report found things like slavery, torture, and forced starvation are widespread. the 31-year-old leader might be held accountable for the crimes. in switzerland, police are questioning an ethiopian co-pilot who hijacked his own plane. he took control when the pilot went to the bathroom and rerouted the plane. none of the 202 passengers on board were injured. and michael dunn was found

guilty of second degree attempted murder on saturday, but the jury did not convict dunn of murder. dunn shot at four teenagers over an argument over loud music, killing 17-year-old jordan davis. and they do plan to retry dunn on that first degrees murder charge. >> all right. richelle thank you. now back to our discussion on the right to die. guys i just have a couple of minutes here. so robert i want you to respond to what john said about you and this issue. >> it's kind of hard to respond quickly to such a serious matter, but for other people to make their decisions for another as far as how their life should end is pretty odd, like you said. he's trying to make up his mind

for me, and that doesn't work. it's my choice. this is an individual's right. it's the right to choose, and not only that, it goes to the basic core, of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and this is more than just a state's right issue. this is a national issue. this effects each and every citizen of the united states. so we need to make this a national issue where we all, once it becomes our time, we can have the choice to make it, and not have states interfere, and groups like john kelly's to interfere. and i don't need assistance with it, other than it would be nice to get a prescription. but i don't need assistance, hospice or anything like that. i could maybe use the assistance to prolong my life for a couple

of months, financially, but other than that, no. i'm going to go this way, and there is no stopping it. >> the one thing that is clear is this is a very, very important issue. and we would like to invite both of you back. >> get with me soon if you are going to get back with me. >> i deal, robert. thank you very much. big labor is weaker after the uaw lost friday in tennessee. and ali velshi says that vote sends a message to union leaders. >> it's a big deal. voel ks having a gone has cooperated with the united auto makers. typically you have the union and then the company on the other side, the interesting issue is there was heavy lobbying against

those moves by republican officials in the state of tennessee who may have swayed enough workers to the vote -- you know, against the union. the governor said a union win at volkswagon would hurt the state's ability to lure business, and if they did unionize the company would lose some of its tax advantages in tennessee. so there was a third power at play. >> another set back for organizeized labor, not just in tennessee, but what does it mean for unions across the country? >> a lot of setbacks for organized labor. in 2012, 11.3% of salaried workers were unioned. and of the 11% who are unionized, almost half of all union workers work in the public

sector. which means the number in the privateized sector is very, very low. unions have to regain their momentum within the private sector, they have to tap into fertile ground like tennessee. the vote was 53-47, but it was a resounding defeat. >> so this is a huge loss for the uaw, how does it rebuild its reputation especially where there are new plants working up. >> it's not a matter of a lot more pay. they have to convince these companies and in this case the states that house them that it is going to be advantageous to the workers. the wages are not much better in unionized plants. they make just about a dollar an hour more.

uaw is still very, very secure with the big three auto makers but it has not been able to crack plants in the south or plants owned by non-american companies, so i think the, uaw is going to be wondering what else it does. their argument is these people get big wages because they are a unionized threat, but the workers made their decision. >> mr. ali velshi as always thanks very much. you can watch "real money" with ali velshi every weeknight 7:00 east, 4:00 pacific time. city leaders in toledo, ohio, blame labor for struggling economy and more crime. >> reporter: jerry faith says he is a victim of free trade. back in 2007 he was working at

this spark plug plant when the company announced it was moving most production to mexico. >> they were taking my whole life away. i have worked there for-32 years. did the undesirable jobs all the way. finally got to the job that i really enjoyed, and then they are going to take it away and move it to mexico? >> reporter: he was forced to retire early, and now he has a part-time job trying to scrape together enough money to put his two daughters through university. it was plants move was the result of nafta, and it cost ohio thousands of jobs. still the u.s. is looking to negotiate two more massive trade deals. >> we need to work together to protect our workers, our environment, and open new

markets to more goods stamped made in usa. critics argue that the details of the agreement have been kept from the public and congress. u.s. congress woman marcy copter is using to stop the agreements. >> the workers in mexico, not able to afford a car, they send the wages they make, and the workers here out of work. who wins in that deal? the outsorcerer. >> faith agrees but has lost hope as the government will stop the new deal. they can't sit down and negotiate a budget, then we go on a government shutdown that

costs up billions of dollars, and they are negotiating a trade deal? come on. >> reporter: faith says hi is not against new trade deals he just wants them to be fair. and he wishes u.s. politicians would learn from the past. venz way land president says the u.s. is conspiring with the opposition leader to oust him from power. on sunday he expelled three u.s. embassy officials. venezuelans took to the streets to protest today. they are protesting hardships from crime, and 56% inflation. and from -- to new york, the

protests continued. washington state uses online translation services like google to save money. that means entire populations are not getting all of the information they need. >> reporter: as these professional translators will tell you, translating from one language to another is not as simple as cutting and clicking. the government uses the free google translate tool and translates a spanish text into english. the translation software changed lean practices to skinny cowhand ling. >> very funny. >> reporter: japanese translator

found all sorts of words that the software did not translate into japanese. washington state does provide professional translation for some written materials. it is one of a number of states that includes a button for translation software on many of its websites. this is also the law. back in 2000 the federal government mandated that agencies must provide meaningful translations. >> it would be very challenging for the state of washington at least for the department of enterprise services to make sure that every piece of our electronic information is available, and updated every time that we change a webpage. >> reporter: kurt's office estimates the automated system gets language translation

correct about 80% of the time. his office is looking at later ways to provide the service. >> we are obligated to try to keep our costs down as much as we can, and still provide that service. >> reporter: like many immigrants this man believes human translators are worth the investment. he believes proper translations offer immigrants the ability to integrate faster. >> they are going to be able to pay taxes faster, find better jobs, provide food for their kids, education. >> reporter: they are now meeting with leaders to provide cost-effective translation in all languages. when michael sam announced his homosexuality last week, the

reaction was quick and mostly supported, but with the nfl combined kicking off this weekend, sam's sexual orientation continues to be a topic. >> yeah, the more we talk about it, the more we learn true feelings about it. how exactly will people, especially those close to you react upon hearing the news. and in the testosterone-filled world of football, that is even greater. >> i'm not afraid to tell the world who i am. i am michael sam, i'm college graduate, african american, and i'm gay. >> reporter: it wasn't the first time that he has shared this private side of his life. just before starting his senior

year at missouri he came out to his teammate sam received a standing ovation when he appeared on the arena video boards during a missouri basketball game saturday. as well as several hundred fans standing in line to show support for fan and also block a protest by the west borough baptist church. and president obama spoke publicly about it for the first time. >> i like that michael did it before the draft, because his attitude was you know what, i know who i am, i know i can play great football, and judge me on the merits. >> reporter: but until he steps foot on the field, he will more likely be judged by his or reenthation than his merits.

espn did a poll. but a question in which former nba player takes issue. >> gay is not something that rubs off. you are not going to get it by being around other people who are gay. it's such a child-like grade school approach to difference. >> reporter: but when it comes to the locker room culture there seems to be concern as 63% of the responders to espn survey admitted to witnessing a teammate or coach using a homophobic slur last season, which may be why only 49% believed that the gay player would be comfortable a locker room. >> it's important that football embraces all different types of players who can contribute.

the truth is that the culture hasn't shifted in enough places, there are still way too many powerful people gripping to the status quo with two hands hoping they don't have to worry about too many women being in their board rooms, too many black people coaching or being in powerful positions and certainly not too many gay people in their locker room. >> he is going to be scrutinized for the next several years -- >> probably unfairly, but he will be judged on a different scale than other players. >> just eye head, when pets are trained to attack. plus protests in pakistan to help three im prisoned al jazeera journalists.

monday night we are looking at this winter storm pushing across parts of chicago, across the great lakes, and a lot of

snow. chicago had over two-hour delays because of this storm. i want to show you what we can expect to see as we go towards tuesday morning. let's go one more graphic. you can see how it is starting to come play here across the northeast. it will be a major problem tomorrow at about 8:00 a.m. right now we do have winter weather advisories, as well as winter storm warnings here across parts of massachusetts, new hampshire, as well as maine. and new york you look like this, tuesday morning temperatures will be right below freezing, and up to 38 degrees, but at 8:00 am we expect to get this area of snow. that will make a big problem if you are commuting in by car. thursday we expect to see some partly cloudy conditions 45

are have been in defense. the protesters say they will continue until the journalists are released. there is a new controversial style of dog training that is raising a lot of eyebrows. >> reporter: most dog owners want this from their pet. >> hello, sweety. hello, sweety. >> reporter: but certain dog owners want this. training your dog is typically about socialization, about keeping it from nipping at strangers, but a thriving industry exists that will train massive intimidating dogs to do exactly the opposite. it's methods are pretty controversial, it's entirely unregulated, and it raises the

question, what is more natural to a dog, peace or aggression? being a pet or a weapon? >> if you are not yut nicing your dog to the fullest capacity, you are going the dog injustice. because they want to work. >> reporter: mike trains so-called protection dog. >> what we teach is the collar method. it's a positive-negative. positive, good boy, you did your job. negative, you get correction through leash and collar, because you didn't do your job. >> reporter: there are five dogs that patrol this particular property, and they are intended not only as a deterrent, but they will also bite when the time comes.

>> oh, man. >> reporter: he says his training teaches a dog the difference between friend and foe. >> you can have a party of 300, 400 people out, and your dog is not going to go ballistic. if somebody had too much to drink and become -- you know, said that you owed them money and everything, that dog is going to be back them down -- not attack, but back them down. >> reporter: but joan donaldson who teaches courses for aspiring dog trainers across the country says it is impossible to have any form of canine behavior. >> reporter: just as a physician cannot guarantee an outcome, neither can a dog trainer. >> reporter: mike believes that aggression can be safely activated and harnessed. >> this is a personal protection dog. the difference is we're teaching

the dog to use its own instinct, but in a constructive way, basically. >> reporter: but donaldson says there is no reliable way to teach a dog when it is or isn't okay to bite. >> we have to get out of this smith that we can have a dog that is absolutely trustworthy, but then turns on a time and becomes a machine in the circumstance that we want them to. that is just not possible. >> reporter: there is no go earning authority that oversees dog training. anyone can claim to be a professional. and there is no research that shows that dogs can reliably determine friend from know. an asteroid the size of three football fields will be flying buy by.
