>> this is al jazeera america live from new york city. i'm david shuster with a look at today's top stories. the u.s. supreme court ruled against aereo company. and the police ruled that police cannot search your cell phone unless they have a warrant. and amidst violence in iraq secretary of state john kerry is
4:01 pm
warning not to intervene or take military action. he said it will own make matters worse. >> this one is a big day at the united states supreme court, and the justices today gave a huge victory to the big four television networks. the justices ruled that the start up company aereo was violating copyright law and take programs from the airwaves and allows customers to watch programming on smart phones and other smart devices. how did aereo do that? >> aereo was arguing to the court that it was not providing television content, just dime-sized antennas that every consumer who subscribed to the service would have their own antenna, and they would use that
4:02 pm
antenna to access broadcasting and stream it down. but the court argued that it sounded like a cable company and decided it was a cable company, and broadcasters have right to broadcast its programming. they found aereo activities infringed on broadcast rights. the court upheld the copyrights protection enshrined in law. so a big win for the cable companies and the four major broadcasters. >> and it sounds like a deadly loss to aereo how has the company responded? >> indeed, the company was not pleased with today's ruling. they called it a massive setback
4:03 pm
for consumers. they said consumers have the right to overthe air broadcast signals. when new technology enable consumers to use a smarter antenna, consumers and the marketplace win. free to air broadcast television should not be able only to those who can afford to pay for the cable or satellite bundle. paying for aereo was cheaper, only $8 a month, and it's not clear if the company will survive. it claimed if it lost this case it had no plan b. >> and lisa as far as the plans for all of us in terms of how we watch streaming television in the future what does it mean for consumers? >> reporter: well, if aereo had survived this would have upset the apple cart. it would have been a major competitor to the cable companies, to services like that. now in a sense broadcasters will
4:04 pm
continue to send out it's programming to cable companies and dish, and the court was very clear that it should not effect other internet cloud services. as far as broad cast companies, more and more of cutting the cable but it would have been easier if aereo had survived. >> lisa stark live in washington. thank you. the u.s. supreme court also handed down a very strong defense of digital privacy. the justices ruled unanimously 9-0 that police officers may not generally search the cell cell phones of people they arrest without a search warrant. >> reporter: smart phones like this call what they called vast amounts of personal information, so searching these would be mo
4:05 pm
infringing on their rights fo of privacy. >> if the police pull you over they have a right to pat you down and look for evidence of a crime even without a warrant. but the supreme court said that right does not usually extend to cells because they hold much more personal information. justin john roberts wrote modern cellphones are not just another technological convenience, they hold for many americans the privacy of life. thwhat police may do for police search a cell phone is simple, get a search warrant. >> if a police officer gets ahold of your phone, they find what is in there, they can access so much in personal life that has nothing to do with the case. >> reporter: the ruling also has
4:06 pm
implications for journalists. 14 news organizations including "the new york times" filed a brief arguing cell phone searches could compromise how they do their jobs. they told al jazeera that the supreme court rule something hugely significant. journalists in particular are at risk because they carry everything in their cellphones, but they carry content, contacts, photographs, the stuff of daily journalism. >> the privacy concerns outweigh security concerns, and this is a significant legal precedent they're setting. i think people will look back on this case and they will point out that privacy has to be given priority. >> reporter: the court said that it realizes its decision will affect laws and law enforcement to solve crimes.
4:07 pm
>> roxana saberi, interesting story. now to iraq as world leaders discuss what to do about the secretary tyrian violence and bloodshed in that country. there is new information about the conflict's toll, june 5th, less than three weeks ago, 1300 people in iraq have been killed. the number includes 220,000 people who fled the civil war tha from neighboring syria. today in belgium, a visit to iraq. u.s. secretary of state john kerry made another call for unity government. >> succeeding in this fight will iraqi iraqis to come together. form an inclusive government. every meeting with leaders of
4:08 pm
each of iraq's main community, i urge the urgency of doing just that. >> libby, secretary kerry stressed the urgency in dealing with these fighters and urging other countries to stay out. >> reporter: what is happening in iraq is extraordinary security and political challenges. he said it's not just of concern of iraqi people but a broader concern to the global community. he said this could have implications and could lead to situations around the globe. >> the united states is also working to support iraq in this fight against isil. we need to remember that isil is a terrorist army that threatens not only iraq, but threatens every country in the region, which is opposed to it, and
4:09 pm
europe and the united states. >> secretary kerry plans to go to saudi arabia later this week and meet with king abdullah. he did stalk about the fact that iran has gotten involved in this conflict. he is urging countries to be prudent, to take a step back and work as an united front. but we see even of course within the country of iraq questions of what will happen next. prime minister nouri al-maliki pushing back against calls of an unity government, and what he has characterized a government that would an coalition. he's not going for that route, david, but secretary kerry said today as he briefed reporters this is not an "a" bad end game, that there is still hope. he stayed the prime minister is fulfilling his obligations, the commitment he made, and he's working on a new constitutional process. we'll see if anything changes over the next couple of days. >> the president is fond of
4:10 pm
saying that only the iraqis can solve this problem. but we can't pretend that this isn't our problem as well. allowing terrorists to gain a safe haven to launch attacks on americans and our allies is a serious problem. >> you hear there, david, house speaker john boehner, there is a lot going on in washington, d.c. both by republicans and democrats as well questioning what the white house strategy is, and they're having a hard time coming up with their own strategy moving forward. >> thank you for that update. israel president sharon perez held a series of meetings president obama. this is his final trip as president. he'll be awarded the congressional gold medal for his lifelong dedication to mideast
4:11 pm
peace. an explosion in a shopping mall has killed several people. the blast came from a car bomb parked and detonated outside a mall. yvonne negede, how are officials responding? >> there is a heavy police presence as they try to get people to move away. hundreds of onlookers have shown up. there are vehicles who were completely decimated by the impact of the explosion. it looked like they were practically uprooted from the roadside. there is flood on the employees, you can see there were people
4:12 pm
who were killed and injured and maimed. they have now been removed by the emergency services. even though it's night here there is still a chaotic scene of people trying to figure out what is going on. there are fears of more explosive devices. they're trying to get people to move away and make sure there are no more explosive devices. it's a terrible scene out here. >> yvonne, is there any symbolic significance to the mall, any wherein why the boko haram would have targeted in specific location? >> well, not really, but safe to say that it is a popular destination for consumers. it's the place where you go buy the latest mobile phones and other electronic goods. one does wonder if this is also linked to the fact that nigeria was to play argentina at the
4:13 pm
world cup in brazil. there were huge tv scenes that people could watch for free as the game got under way. is that why it was targeted? that people would be there watching the world cup. that's unknown. but the group had threatened to attack the capitol before. they do focus their attacks on busy areas, and in particular where you have a concentration of people just in april there was a blast at a bus station which killed 75 people. so yes, whether the heavy concentration of people, that tend to be where boko haram attacks. >> and has boko haram officially taken responsibility for this attack today? >> important question, no, no official claims from boko haram, it does point to them. it does look like something they would do.
4:14 pm
they have comment that they would attack the capitol before. they have a presence there and the leader who has been seen on youtube who said many, many times they're plan to go attack the capitol. you know, there is an investigation under way. and if it's proven that boko haram are behind this, it will show that their ability to fulfill what they say they're going to do. >> yvonne. thank you for that report. the u.s. ship is on its way to syria to pick up syrian chemical weapons. the most dangerous chemicals including mustard gas and sarin will be transferred from a danish ship that is carrying the chemicals now where they will move to international waters where the chemicals will be destroyed. it will take a couple of months for the deadly materials to
4:15 pm
become unarmed. john boehner said he will file suit that the president abused his authority. republicans have long accused the president of selectively enforcing laws and legislation. now, time for power politics. the republican establishment is breathing a huge sigh of relief following the victory over the tea party last night washington republicans say the victory means their party is another step closer to taking control of the u.s. senate. senator thad cochran, a moderate by republican standard beat a tea party challenger by 6,000 votes. cochrane was a shoe in this november. he had been under constant conservative attacks for supporting government spending and military projects. this is how cochrane described
4:16 pm
his victory. >> the consensus for mississippi workers. [ cheering ] a military force and the capacity to defend the security interests of the united states of america. [ cheering ] >> cochrane won in part by expanding the electorate and reaching out to democrats and african-american voters. it's a strategy that infuriated tea party challenger chris mcdaniel. mcdaniel so far has refused to concede the race. >> there is something a bit strange. there is something a bit unusual about a republican primary that's decided by liberal democrats. [ cheering ] >> g.o.p. establishment groups including republicans senatorial committee the u.s. chamber of commerce are the big winners in this race. for the last three weeks they
4:17 pm
poured money and resource noose mississippi. they raised $1 million between the primary and yesterday's run off and had 100 volunteers knocking on doors and making calls. republicans will not have to worry about mcdaniel's racist remarks might drag down the party this fall. a victory in colorado, former congressman bob beauprez and beat tancredo. in new york democratic voters have granted anothe rangel. the associated press just a short time ago called the race in rangel's favor.
4:18 pm
still early this morning rangel declared victory sort of. first he did an imitation of television announcers. >> ladies and gentlemen, we all have been waiting for this moment with a lot of attention and perhaps a lot of anticipation. >> then rangel handed the microphone to gregory meeks. >> the chairman has won. the chairman has won! >> he used to be chairman of house and ways committee. we just had another signs of the time when it comes to money in politics. about to celebrate her 30th wedding anniversary. she has invited friends and family to a big party in miami, but she doesn't want any gifts. instead, she has asked guests to contribute money to her political action committee. ' anniversary. that is today's power politics. coming up, another reason to
4:19 pm
hate the nasty winter weather earlier this year. it put a major drag on the u.s. economy. and the consumer electronics company takes amazing pictures is about to go public. it will be the strongest electronics company for two decades. for all of you who have money in the market we'll tell what you you need to know.
4:20 pm
the performance review. that corporate trial by fire when every slacker gets his due. and yet, there's someone around the office who hasn't had a performance review in a while. someone whose poor performance is slowing down the entire organization. i'm looking at you phone company dsl. check your speed. see how fast your internet can be. switch now and add voice and tv for $34.90. comcast business
4:21 pm
built for business. >> the u.s. government released new data showing that the first quarter of 2014 was a bad one for the u.s. economy. during the first three months of the year the economy contracted by an annual rate of 2.9%. that's the economy's worse quarterly report since five years ago since 2009 when the first quarter shrunk by 5.4%. they note in the fourth quarter of 2013, the economy went up 2.6%. the level of growth that experts believe the second quarter will land, and that quarter ends on
4:22 pm
monday. this is all while wall street shrugged off the gdp. th a small action camera company is about to get a very big close up. go pro is set to go public that will value the company at $3 billion. not everyone grows that the camera it makes produce amazing images, but as mary snow reports many debate whether that is enough to create a thriving business. >> it came down and hit me in the head. >> whether it's surfer kelly slater swimmin surfing a wave, swimming underwater, it has taken people to inside experiences, or inside small places. like the one we used to tell the
4:23 pm
story of a taxi cab. the net worst is $1.3 billion. it's a long way from where he started in 2004 after his first company failed and he lost $4 million of investors' money. after that loss he went surfing. >> the irony was that in planning this five-month trip around australia and indonesia, i actually came up with the idea for my business, which was a camera i had surfed with to document my trip, and then it was an r & d trip. >> he used his mother's seeing machine to make the first prototype. the next year the company had $61 million profit and observers say one challenge will be to expand sales to average consumers. >> the company depends on the extreme sports market to drive sales. >> and some analysts say while the company gets plenty of exposure to its customers up loading videos, one question
4:24 pm
would be how do you make money from that content? mary snow, al jazeera. >> let's bring in haley, a technology reporter with the "washington post." a lot of us know go pro in a lot of those images, but is the product enough for the company to go public right now? >> that's a very good question. obviously ther they are still a young company. they don't make a lot of devices, but it's on everybody's mind. they do have a dedicated consumer base. people who buy go pro cameras buy a lot of them so they can get a lot of angles of shots and they take them everywhere. they're secure in their customer base, which is extends to anybody who does anything outdoors. >> one thing that investors will look at is exec compensation. but go pro is able to hold back
4:25 pm
information. how are they able to get away with that? >> that's their provision of the jobs act. it's the same provision that twitter used when it filed it's ipo. once they are a public company then they'll have to disclose some of that information, too, but the idea is to insulate these start up companies from too much scrutiny right at the outset. >> you mentioned twitter. we've seen high tech ipos, facebook, twitter, even candy crush, but go pro is selling a tangible product. how big of a difference does that make? >> i think for people looking at the stock, that's a bit of security. you can point to something that they've actually made. unlike twitter and facebook where people are worried that a study comes out and shows that your valuation falls.
4:26 pm
advertising will be a piece of the revenue and having the devices is a good bedrock for them. >> it seems that they're trying to become in addition to producing these great cameras, it's a media company, is that part of the strategy to keep thi company growing. >> it's a great marketing strategy. skydiving videos, they work closely with professional athletes, snow borderers and surfers, sort of being able to show people what they can do with the camera, you almost never see the camera itself. it's all about what they're doing. >> is there much competition? is there anybody else out there trying to get into this particular market for these smaller action-oriented camera? >> sure, you've definitely seen
4:27 pm
camera makers getting in on this. we've seen other companies try to get into this market. the first mover advantage, and their cases for the cameras are really, really good. they only make one. >> that should be a very interesting ipo. haley, thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. >> just ahead the u.s. supreme court ruling against aereo, a television technology company, could sink that company, and it may also change how all of us watch television. we will explain. and we will hear from al jazeera journalists peter greste for the first time since the egyptian court sentenced him to stay in prison for seven years.
4:30 pm
>> the u.s. supreme court dealt a major set back to an internet start up. the justices ruled that aereo violated copyright laws when it took programs and allowed subscribers to watch them on smart phones or other devices. barry dillard said that the decision is not a big financial loss but that it's a big loss for consumers. we go to jamie floyd, legal contributor. >> reporter: both sides say they were fighting for the consumer. everyone is fighting for the consumer. this technology is about this big, and it's an antenna, but not the big 'ol rabbit ears that you're probably too young to remember. i barely remember the rabbit ears. a tiny antenna with a dvr inside. it pulls down the programming
4:31 pm
and record it any time you like. that's what aereo said was a win for the consumers. now the networks say that is not a win for the consumers, we're providing the programming. we've got it for you. everybody says it's all about the consumer. the supreme court said we'll stick with the old model for now because you got to pay for the programming. >> once upon a time you could grab it from the clouds. those rabbit ears would let you go four or five channels. >> for free. that's what aereo is trying to get back to. they said free tv is not free any more. you shouldn't have to pay for some high priced package to get your television. you should be able to pay $8 and $12 a month which is what aereo charges, we're just providing the technology. the supreme court said don't dress it up in technology, it's just a cable provider. >> is there an opportunity now,
4:32 pm
there are a lot of people who don't want to pay. >> or can't. >> and still would like to be able to watch tv. what do they do next. >> reporter: they say this is just about aereo. betlet's not make this an overly broad decision. they say we're just talking about aereo. they can go down to the lower courts and negotiate other technology ordeal. this is not killing aereo, but that remains to be seen. but congress needs to take a look at the law. this is a 1976 piece of legislation. i don't want to call anybody old, but that's old. that law was designed to do with cable. well cable is old technology. >> netflix, describing netflix and you stream things.
4:33 pm
>> a similar model. >> is that the model that essentially we're going see in the future. where you have to pay for programming? >> right, here's the fundamental difference. that's exactly right. that's the way fewing has gone. people don't want to watch commercials any more. they want to watch what they want to watch. they don't want to watch commercials. or if they want to watch the occasional commercial for super bowl sunday, that's a little different. netflix is paying for the programming that it didn't create, then it gives you original content that it netflix original content. the supreme court said that aereo did not create any original content. they're taking the content. the broadcasters said you're stealing our content. if you're going with the new model you're going to have to create some original content, and people may want to pay for that something like house of
4:34 pm
cards, game of thrones. >> now you mentioned-- >> i'm not surprised. >> you mentioned congress. >> yes. >> and a lot of people are saying that it's time for strong to step in. >> yes, 1976 is a long time ago. >> there are two big cases. cell phone privacy cases. we're talking about technology that has far outpaced the law. in both of those cases the supreme court, the majority of opinions said, look, we can't make law here. our job is to interpret the law. congress has got to get it together. technology is moving so quickly, and the law is moving at a snail's pace. jami, thank you for coming on.
4:35 pm

4:36 pm
men. al jazeera diplomatic editor james bays joins us, james, how did the u.n. correspondents show their support? >> well, the idea was to bring together not just the journalists, it was organized by the journalists, but u.n. officials and there were very senior officials there, and countries of the world. they invited many countries. 17 countries and their representatives, half of the security council were represented at this meeting. we even had the former president nobel laureate at the meeting. many invited to this meeting, and many came, and surprisingly, david, the egyptians also sent several diplomats to this meeting. and they made the point that their judiciary was independent. they could do nothing about this, this was an independent verdict of their judiciary. they were, you'll not be surprised, challenged by al jazeera representatives ho

were at the meeting including myself and your colleague, tony harris. we asked, why don't you say that this was an joy ray justice ruling because there was no evidence against the journalists. they said they weren't prepared to say that. more worrying they said the whole judicial process of an appeal could take months and months. >> that was great that you were there to confront them. what is the united nations plan to keep moving forward, to put the pressure on egypt to free our al jazeera colleagues? >> they said they were unhappy about this verdict and other things happening with the your disjudiciary system in egypt. in th the africa union will be having a meeting. we think if they meet, that ban can i moon will raise the

4:39 pm
