after the ship he was flown by helicopter to the federal courthouse where he's awaiting the arraignment. there is an awful a lot of interest in this united states about this case, about khatallah because there are so many can questions about whether or not the obama administration responded to the attack in a way many feel appropriate. there is going to be a lot of scrutiny around this case because these types of cases don't typically take place in washington, d.c. in court rooms outside of washington or in new york city. so there is a lot of interest about how this is going to play out, and of course the details that could emerge. >> you touched on an important point that people are clearly upset about what happened and angry that this was allowing to ahead, that the attack could take place. >> indeed, and it's become a highly charged political case because republicans have charged since the attack took place i

in 2012 that, in fact, th the allegation is that onl obama has been covering up. what adds fuel to that argument, the argument that there may an reason for cover up because of that certainly does hold some weight. at the same time peopl democrat s say this was a right-wing conspiracy. and there have been countless investigations. hillary clinton has had her own eyes on the white house, and there is an ongoing investigation into what happened

claimants against bp. what more can you tell bus this motion filed by bp? >> you well, bp filed a motion two days ago saying essentially they have overpaid some of the claimants by millions of dollars, and they want the money back. they're asking the court to freeze the funds before people can spend it. >> so why are they doing this now? what happened, and do you agree that there could be problems here possibly bp was wrong? >> well, all this payments were made in effect until october of last year. and the payments were properly made. now bp went to court and got the formula changed, and bp is saying now that the prior payments should be recomputed on the basis of the new formula, and under the new formula they

should get their money back because under the new formula they owed less. i think it's fine for bp to get the formula changed. if that's what the court did, so be it, but i think its wrong to ask people to give money back under a formula that was approved by the court and the general master who was in charge. >> i should imagine many of them have already spent the money. >> i was about to say that. many people have spent these funds, how would they pay those monies back? i think that is overreaching by bp to ask for those funds at this time. >> have some of your clients been able to recover, and what can you tell what's the next stage is likely to be? >> there is going to be a court hearing to see if bp can get an order directed to everybody who previously received funds so

they can freeze the money until new computations are made. i don't think that's likely to happen, but we'll see. the bp saga here in the gulf continues after four years. people still struggling to get paid, and in my opinion bp made a decision not to pay anybody any more. they want to stop payments. in fact, in the office where they were handling payments directly made for claims made foto them, last week they closed that office. >> thank you very much for talking us through this. we'll be keeping an eye on it. >> officials in the u.s. have ow approved a suicide barrier. it will come to the cost of $76 million.

government is corrupt and not trustworthy enough, and if the government can't do it, then people need to stand up and take back the towns. it could create a lot of press against the government because they've done a good job in the past saying it's illegal, but they let these vigilanties operate, but he's one of the most charismatic member of this movement. but now the government is saying the vigilanties have served their purpose. the drug gangs with been run out of town, which is not always true. many times they're just run underground. but they are saying mexico is now a much safer place. >> local a oh fors say book pirates are making millions importing copies printed in india and china. malcolm web reports from nairobi.
