11:07 pm
primarily for force protection reasons, now that we have introduced into the country some military vzors -- advisors, whose objective about be to operate outside the cop fines of the embassy. >> reporter: despite that i.s.i.l. mounted another display of power and shows no as soon as possible of backing down. the rebellion against the government of nouri al-maliki has shown many different factions much. the fighting involves former offers of the saddam hussein army. hoda abdel-hamid has more, and we warn you that some of the images in this report are disturbing. >> reporter: the fighters of i.s.i.l. or islamic state of iraq and levant have september a

11:10 pm
i.s.i.l. will remain, and as long as sunnis are suppressed, we will continue. >> this is a road where amnesty international says there appears to have been a pattern of extrajudicial killings. every day that passes brings a share of death and destruction. the risk for iraq, the voices of moderation will be drowned out. two people from killed and dozens wounded after app explosion at a market in syria. activists say a car bomb was set off. this shows buildings on fires and rubble. rival rebel groups have been fighting each other. >> the middle east saw more explosions as rockets launched hit a factory, sparking a fire.

11:12 pm
ways. jozef wesolowski, a former ambassador to the dominican republic was found guilty by the church itself of abecause -- adducing boys. -- abusing boys. authorities on the island opened an investigation. >> translation: we had a meeting and we were reassured the vatican would not be a peace until they had the maximum penalty. if they expelled him, that's the maximum penalty, expulsion from the priesthood and the church. >> for years, the vat can is accused of going too little. the united nations called on the vatican to open up its files from the past. since being appointed pope francis has apologised over clerical child abuse, and known further than any

11:15 pm
11:16 pm
welcome back. time to take a deeper look at some of the supreme court's decisions. last week we told you about some important rulings and tonight we'll talk about them. national relations board v canning, the president cannot make recess appointments if the senate is in session, and only lasts a minute or two and don't involve business. in mcculloch v cokely - struck down. in riley v california, the justice resist were unanimous , placing limits on searching smart phones by police. we spoke to mark furner, a
11:17 pm
criminal defense attorney yig and gareth eps. he was with us when we previewed the cases last week. i asked if he was surprised bit the rulings. >> what is striking is the extent to which chief justice roberts managed to get all of the justices of the court into the - they are not all in the same pew, but they are getting into the same church. the results from unanimous, even though the reasoning was split. it's a different atmosphere in the court years ago. >> i wanted to start with the president, the supreme court said he exceeded his powers. >> all bets are off when it's highly poll it sized. i can't say the result was surprising. to a degree, there was a supply,
11:18 pm
all the justices lined up against the president, and justice scalia took the most extreme position against him, given a literalist reading of the clause. it was an expected ruling. i want to talk about mcculloch's case, saying that massachusetts wept too far. that's right, it was a nine to nothing result. five justices said 35 foot buffer zones restricting people passing from speaking or interacting is too much. but what is striking is what they didn't do. they didn't overturn the earlier precedent that said that states could have buffer zone laws, and that was five justices on that opinion. four justices led by justice scalia wanted to make a radical change in the law, wanting to
11:19 pm
say any buffer zone law was a first amendment violation of the freedom of speech, which would have been a huge change in the law, and they fell a vote short. >> a major case is harris versus equip, an important labour law decision. diane eastabrook spoke to pamela harris who sued the governor of illinois. >> reporter: a meddy cade programme pays pam to take care of her disability son josh at home. under state law that makes her a state workers. harris wants no part of organised labour. >> they are overstepping. you don't belong in a house, home, intruding into a family or interfering in the care of an individual with significant disabilities. >> in a case on its way to the u.s. supreme court harris sued pat quinn over an executive order, calling her a state
11:20 pm
employee, and requiring her to pay fees to a union she didn't want to join. paul, from the illinois policy institute thinks harris's suite is a compelling one. >> if a union falls a strike, he is not going to leave josh alone. so the union model, for who she is and what she does, doesn't fit. >> home health care is one of the few industries public employees unions have been successful organising, so the supreme court's decision will affect not only those workers in illinois, but workers in other states as well. if the court rules those workers can't be considered state employees or require to pay union fees, the service employees union could lose thousands of members and millions of dollars. unionizing home health care helped them get higher wages and improve the industry. the main thing is the things we
11:21 pm
have done not only helped to stablilize the workforce, but raise standards across the board for the care delivered too people with disabilities. >> 81-year-old flora johnson received medicaid to care for her son. johnson is a union member and says the money she gets huhs doubled from over $5,000 to under is it. before the union johnson felt powerless against the medicaid program. >> they could say i'll pay you $2 or $1 an hour. we didn't have a voice. pamela harris doesn't want the union telling her how to care for josh or taking dues that could be spep on her son's care. >> how do you see this case playing out? >> the stakes in this case are high. it's important to make sure the record it clear. this is not a case about
11:22 pm
requiring union dues. this is not a case in which the union wants to dictate how care is carried out. this is a case in which the union performs a service for the home health care workers of negotiating their wage rates and job conditions, and they don't require the members to join the union, they just ask for what is called a fair-share fee to pay for the cost of a grievance procedure, a call center and negotiating the corrects. there are some conditions of home health care workers that are unique, but it is quite clear, and was clear in the briefs and oral argument that the national right to work federation, which is behind this case, is trying to do away with unionisation in the public sector period. that they are hoping to get the court to rule that public employee unions requiring fees from their members violates the
11:23 pm
first amendment and basically they said "we'll be back", to challenge for contracts if you give us what you want. this could be a highly poll it sized decision, probably five to four, one way for the other. if it goes against the union, it will be seep as the republican majority, targetting a key part. case. >> the hobby lobby store case is being considered with a number of other cases. it considers whether four profit companies have freedom of religious rite and is likely to affect other challenges to the a aaffordable care act. >> this is unpredictable. if you put money down you'd bet there would be some victory for hobby lobby stores. the question is how broad will it be. there's hints that the chief justice was attune to the need of corporations and corporate interest, that he wanted to
11:24 pm
decide only that holy family-owned companies might be able to use the religious freedom restoration act to claim exceptions from the cronn tree essential mandate. what is striking in this case is the big corporate interests and their groups that litigate, like the u.s. chamber of commerce, have not come in on the side of hobby lobby. if the court were to decide in broad terms that four-profit corporations can have a religion, companies like wal-mart will be under pressure from customers and others to adopt. saying we are a christian company or a denominational company. at the same time they'll try to open stores in abu dashi and so forth. if the court wants to hold for hobby lobby and others, they have to walk a narrow path if they want to avoid making the situation worse.
11:25 pm
there are 40-plus situations pepding. was this a watershed moment for the digital right movement, police ability to search the cell phone. >> i think it's the most significant procedure on digital aid in the last decade. revolutionary, we don't know. the implications are broad. holding itself is narrow, requiring police to get a warrant for conducting a search. it's an easy proposition, but just says it can't do it automatically. it recognises categorically that digital devices don't have a physical appa log in the -- analogue and in the real world are forwarded much application. harmony in the high court - we saw a united supreme court
11:26 pm
this session, mr eps. >> well, the chief justice when he became chief justice said he wanted to foster a culture where unanimous opinions were more the norm and the group is all in the together. this is the first time in a long time that that effort begun to seem as if it's having effect. his parliamentary is very dominant on this. he wrote a number of these major opinions we have been discussing, and a number of them are 9-0 in result. idea lockicly the -- ideologically the court is split. with 9-0 decisions where five favour one, and the other five favour a different rule - there are issues to be fought about, but the top and the atmosphere in the courtroom is radically different to what it's been in the last few years. tension and personnel few.
11:27 pm
these seem to be getting the right thing as a group. >> it's surprising. >> i have to respectfully disagree. the appearance of nunan imenty is a more conventional supreme court docket. i suspect you'll see explosive partisan divides as they revisit two of the most controversial decisions. the citizens united decision. this is more or less a supreme court docket. what you see is the last couple of years, the political footballs that are an anomaly, that's why you see a divide. >> talk about political football. if you want to answer this, mr eps, because this is the time of year, announcements, retirements? >> no. >> in a word. all right. we'll have to leave it there. gareth ep, and mark furness, we
11:28 pm
appreciate your time on "a deeper look." the latest on eastern ukraine. four european monitors held by pro-russian separatists are freed. the kaes fire in the county breaks down. tension at the world cup - brazil, the host country - nearly eliminated from the tournament. the dramatic finish to their game.
11:29 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 built for business.
11:30 pm
welcome back to al jazeera america. here are the top stories - the chief suspect in the benghazi attack pleaded not guilty. ahmed abu chattalah was captured by u.s. agents two weeks ago and arrived on u.s. sail today. he arrested and taken to washington dc. iraq received a shipment of five russian fighter jets. the army say it has launched a major offensive against fighters from the islamic state of iraq and levant. i.s.i.l. has taken over much of
11:31 pm
the north. an archbishop accused of abusing young boys has been defrocked. jozef wesolowski has stripped of his priesthood. proceedings will be kaucted by the vatican -- conducted by the vatican. if found guilty he could be extradited to the dominican republic. >> four people were released in donetsk, four monitors. a 3-day ceasefire was extended by petro porashenko. he intends to hold a second round of diplomacy with vladimir putin on saturday. we turn to paul brennan on the ground in donetsk. >> in the early hours of friday morning that the first four o.s.c.e. monitors were released to the colleagues. they have been detained in donetsk for more than a month.
11:32 pm
less than 48 hours later, in quick succession, we have a second batch of four o.s.c.e. monitors returned to their colleagues. with some relief the deputy monitors welcomed them back. >> we welcome the return of the last four of our team-mates, after a month away. we request friends and colleagues to allow them the peace, and quiet time with the families. many inside and outside the mission worked tirelessly to secure their release, and we take the opportunity to publicly thank them. the detention of the monitors constrained the mission in the ukraine at a time when the flow of objective information has never been more important. we consider the continued work of the mission essential in helping to restore peace and stability.
11:33 pm
>> the difficulty in monitoring the two ceasefires supposedly observed in eastern ukraine, emphasis the importance of the o.s.c.e.'s report. what we have had on saturday, for example, is, from the government side, reports of three separate attacks on government troops, resulting in four deaths and 14 wounded. we spoke to separatists, and they denied anything had tape place. if that lack of status of the ceasefires - it makes it difficult to decide who is to blame, whether any violations had taken place, and how to maintain a peace process in this part of the world. clearly the o.s.c.e.'s work is important and they want to continue. to monitor the ceasefire and the humanitarian core tors, it needs
11:34 pm
a degree of security. hopefully it means the attention can turn to the o.s.c.e.'s future work, without the encombans. >> it is important and crucial. >> paul beban in donetsk. undocumented children from central america continue to stream into the u.s. many unaccompanied are housed in border patrol facilities like the joint base here. the majority are from central america, specifically honduras. more than 15,000 unaccompanied honduran children have been tape into custody since 2013. honduras first lady has been touring if as alties and -- facilities and shelters. >> translation: like a mother would say, it breaks my heart to see the children, their faces and the sadness of mothers. it is something that shouldn't
11:35 pm
happen. if we make an effort, we'll be able to improve the situation. we need to work together. widespread gang violence, a lack of job opportunities in the country is cited as the reason many families make their way to the u.s. >> this is a communications and special projects coordinator for the new york immigration coalition, and gave us upsight into the influx of unaccompanied children. >> young people are coming because they think they can stay and get deferred access in immigration status. what we are saying is that that is false. a lot of these young people who are come, 52,000 people since october, are coming because of the serious crisis in their countries of origin. in hond duras, guatemala, they have the highest murder rates, where young people face serious dangers, including a lot of knang crime. >> no option. >> no option.
11:36 pm
this is why a lot of these people are choosing to take the journey. some may have family members. let's say they are tape care of by grandparents. they no longer have options to take care of the children, and they are in danger and can't even go to school. they are choosing to take it to several countries. >> let's talk about your weather. towns across the midwest are dealing with flooding. people in waterville are continuing clean-up and gearing for more storms. volunteers poured in to fill sandbags, bracing homes against future storm. we have a look at the forecast. where do we stand tonight. >> we look at the rain total. in the last few days of june we have places above normal for the
11:37 pm
month. here is another line of storms. parts of minnesota down to oklahoma, and rain totals over 7 inches for minnesota, and flooding on the mississippi river. river flooding at major flood stage in iowa too. if the rain comes down heavily, we don't need to add much more. minnesota had an added inch. in oklahoma, there was a lot of wind damage. it was the primary storm damage reports coming in from wind. gusts of 60 to 80 miles per hour. the tree is down, you can see we have tree report in places like arkansas. once again the storms caused issue and with that much rain fall coming council it doesn't take much to take a tree down.
11:38 pm
a lot of folks are missing tree limbs. you can see the line of wind reports coming in, from oklahoma, stretching to st. louis missouri, and we'll have a repeat of that. tomorrow it looks look a worse day, if you want to call it that. if you like storms you may not call it a worse day. if you don't care for damage, it's a day where we have a better chance. bismark almost an inch of rain for you, and tulsa oklahoma three carters of an inch. we are seeing storms diminish. we have reports of a camp ground with powerful gusts. minnesota down across iowa and wisconsin. temperatures down, cooler behind the storms for montana and dakotas, we are getting
11:39 pm
downright hot and humid. more so into parts of the central midwest, up to chicago, and michigan. you are going to selleder with the heat and humidity. here we are looking at the time of year where typically we'll move into the hottest day as we get into the first part of july.

11:40 pm
player this week. let's talk about the fans, brazil's victory. it may play a huge role in the success of the tournament. fans stay involved. we have this story. >> the celebrations are justified. until the last minute brazil's dream of going on to the quarterfinals was not serious. thousands of brazilians came to the area to watch the game. many saw their hopes shattered at the last minute. for brazil, at stake was more than football. it is important that the host country remain engaged for world cup sales and general
11:41 pm
enthusiasm. the laws would have put brazilians in a bad mood, which is bad news from the president, who is upped strong criticism, for the expense and waste at hosting the world cup. with presidential elections four months away they will save our the victory as much as the fans lucia newman. in america all eyes are on tuesday, when the u.s.a. plays belgium. not many giving the american players much of a chance. belgium is one of the better tales left in the tournament. but the u.s. has surprised the critics before. by the way, that match is tuesday, 4:30 eastern. two more powerhouse matches on the schedule tomorrow: both teams are considered contenders

11:45 pm
>> reporter: remembering the day an assassin's bullet killed the heir to the austro-hungarian thrown. the vienna philharmonic orchestra performs requiu murks. in a country split along ethnic linesers bosnia serbs held a commemoration. here the assassin, gavrilo princip, is a heroic figure. >> translation: of course he wasn't a terrorist. he was a hero. there'll be people that tell lies about him. we know what the truth is. >> translation: he was a hero that stopped the
11:46 pm
austria-happening airian empire carrying out what they wanted. >> reporter: there was a time that serbs, crow at and others disagreed. with the break-up of yugoslavia, that all changed for crow at, and muslims. it came to represent serb ex-participationist policies. the serbs embraced their nationalist hero more closely. the serb bs boycotted the events, and reconciliation looks as far away as ever. >> most people are for a unified bosnia. the situation is unacceptable. it has to change. >> people are poisoned and with nationalism, i don't think there's any chance again, really. >> so in the end the legacy that
11:47 pm
did once draw eted nisties together is one factor ensuring they stay apart. earlier today jonah spoke to a representative of sarajeva to get a sense of how the war is remembered today. >> you have to know the contents of the prewar bosnia and herzegovina, combined with the history of the austrian-humanitarian empire. within the context of 1912, and the crisis. he has to know that that atmosphere created a perfect momentum to take the shot. he was not aware of what the consequences would be at the moment. he hopes the event will contribute towards unity. is there any sense that that is
11:48 pm
possible? >> i hope so, that it will be a good start for unity in the country. having in mind what we see here, today's anniversary would not help further reconciliations. it is because the idea was good, but i don't think that the approach was a puff one. the map of europe in the middle east was dramatically different from the one we knew today. during the war and the ones that followed, four great empires fell. borders were removed and new countries emerged. the german empire gave up nine territories. the russian empire re-emerged as the soviet union. but lost other areas. some of the countries came back
11:49 pm
upped russian rule. some were formed out of what used to be austlii -- off theory hupingary. many of the borders are contension to this day. what an earlier generation knew as the great war saw advances in medicine and war. poison awes chlorine gas, submarines, tanks and barb wire developed or became common in 1914 and 1918. shell shock was a psychological condition, known as post-traumatic stress disorder. and motion pictures spread propaganda quickly. in many places, it was the first time women entered the workforce. >> turning the attention to
11:50 pm
kenya, the literary scope is threatened by piracy. they made millions selling copies in india and china. >> reporter: it's time for a class in literature, what is in the children's hand is worth millions of dollars. they are studying a short novel. books that are required reading for secondary school students sell hundreds of thousands of copies, and book pirates in kenya have caught on. >> it was a big break when the novel was chosen to be studied, for the author. the quality is poor and the pages fall out. he tried, but failed to stop it. >> we hired private detective. because pirates are so dangerous, they can kill you. they make millions. you pirt a book, a set book.
11:51 pm
when it's in high demand, the first one, two years, it means it is effective and efficient. the pirate can make millions within a month. >> reporter: publishers say the pirates are getting more aggressive. this is east africa's largest printer and produces school books every year. the pirates are printing high quality copies in india and china, looking the same as the originals. >> this book sells for $5 per copy. it's one of many books that every primary school child is meant to have a copy of. there's over a million students, giving you an idea of the scale of the business. this supplies countries across east africa. >> many in the countries are poor and struggle to pay for children's books.
11:52 pm
publishers don't want parents to buy the cheaper copies. >> cheaper prices means the author of that work has not been rewarded. so they are, in fact, the poorer for it. the whole society has lost out. authors say piracy threatens the growing literature scope. while parents want the cost of education to be affordable, writers want to be kept in business too. >> still ahead - a nighing sauce ir -- flying saucer over the pacific. super sonic tests by n.a.s.a., and how they plan to use the craft. they lost by a hair - and then lost all of it. why astronauts on the international space station had to shave their heads.
11:53 pm
11:54 pm
welcome back. do you know a great deal of information on the internet is hidden. it's the deep web, where the
11:55 pm
