>> on the stream, >> what has to happen next in ferguson missouri so the death of an unarmed black teen shot by police is not in vain. join us on the stream >> the stream on al jazeera america >> ferguson police released details about the day that michael brown was killed. it has made peopl angerrer. i'm antonio mora, welcome to "consider this." those stories and much more straight ahead. >> the officer that was involved in the shooting was darren wilson. >> police released this video today saying brown robbed a convenience store before he was shot and killed. >> basically smoking mirrors to

divert the attention. >> theft does not equal death. >> we have to make sure that we don't burn down our own house. >> the only way to stop this organization is to intervene. >> the government in kiev said its forces. >> engaged russian forces that breached it's border. >> moscow has dismissed the claims as fantasy. >> if there are any russian military or personnel vehicles they need to be withdrawn immediately. >> it's a money saver on three wheels. >> fun to drive. you don't realize how awkward it is to sit off center of a vehicle until you sit between the wheels. >> new music from michael jackson. >> it's incredible that when he releases something you can't wait to see what it is. >> we begin with stunning revelations in the michael brown shooting case that have outraged this family and set off renewed anger in ferguson, missouri. here's the latest.

the police identified the officer involved in the shooting as 28-year-old officer deron williams. >> he's been an officer for six years with no disciplinary action taken against him. >> that information long sought by protesters was quickly overshadowed by the release of a videotape that shows what police say michael brown taking part in a strong-armed robbery. the ferguson police chief seemed to say sergeant wilson had not been aware that michael brown was a suspect in the robbery when he first stopped brown and his friend for walking in the middle of the road. >> i know his initial contact was not related to the robbery. >> protesters and michael brown's family were furious that police chose to release the robbery report, but no information about the shooting itself. a lawyer for the brown family said it was a strategic move by police to distract from the naming of the officer.

>> it was a character assassination attempt. >> despite the quieter night infer gas son on thursday after captain ron johnson took over the security, concerns grew that the flurry of new information by stoke more violence. they called on the community to stay calm. >> in our anger we have to make sure that we don't burn down our own house. we don't go down and vandalize our own buildings. >> for a legal perspective on all this, we're joined by a criminal attorney. he was oh a former district attorney. good to have you with us. let's start with the video. how significant is this? >> i'll tell you this, both sides in this case are going to put their own spin on the release of the video and it's significance for michael brown's family and his lawyers and the community activists, obviously

they're going to say, and they are saying that this is a smear campaign by the police to impugn his character. that it has no real significance to his encounter with the officer, and it certainly doesn't justify a shooting an unarmed man possibly from behind as he was running away. on the other hand the officer and perhaps department are going to say that this video depicts somebody--first of all in the video michael brown looks--he's a big guy. he's intimidating-looking, and secondly, his demeanor is angry, it's combative, violent. his behavior is out of control, and they'll say, look, it's much easier to believe that someone in this sort of demeanor would attack an officer and pose a threat to an officer. >> let's breck it down. there is total confusion about what sergeant wilson knew when he stopped michael brown. the police chief first said that

the stop was not about the robbery. it was because the two men were walking in the middle of the road. but the officer may have seen the cigar boxes an connected it to the robbery. let's glitch as he passed them, i guess that's when he might have seen the evidence and connected it. because his initial contact was strictly pedestrian. >> what do you mean seeing the evidence? >> there was a broadcast that went out about a stealing, and there were cigars stolen. a couple of boxes of cigars. >> does it make a difference, neil, if during the incident that the officer figured out that brown was a robbery prospec suspect? >> you know, it does. it brings up the question of what did he know and when did he know it. if it turns out that he did suspect that this was the person who committed the robbery, then absolutely he had more reason to believe that this person is potentially violent, potentially dangerous, is a fleeing felon,

and that would probably justify him using a greater level of force to protect himself and subdue the subject. now certainly not killing someone unnecessarily. certainly not shooting someone from behind, if that turns out to be the case, but definitely it would give the officer more leeway in terms of justifying his use of force. >> you've been involved in the prosecution and defense of police officers. if the officer had been hit by brown, does that make a difference legally especially if witnesses say brown may have been raising his arms and surrendering? >> this is what it all boils down oh to, at the end of the day what was going on at the moment when the officer pulled the trigger. if there was a struggle taking place, and brown was hitting the officer at that moment, and trying to go for his gun, then that does certainly make a difference. if, on the other hand, there was a struggle that took place, and as some witnesses have said, brown pushed away and was

running away, and the officer pursued him from behind and shot him, then no, none of the--none of the struggle, and none of the prior conduct would justify shooting a person in that circumstance. everything is really going to turn on this factual, this disputed factual inquiry as to what exactly was going on at the moment that the trigger was pulled. >> how about michael brown's state of mind? does the alleged robbery have meaning there, if he robbed the store, could he have thought that he was being stopped for that? and if he did, would it make a difference? >> you know, it might make a difference. certainly to the extent that he was--he had just committed a robbery. he may have been worried that he was going to be arrested and charged with a very serious felony. that may have made him more desperate to get away. that may have made him more willing to use force to resist arrest. ultimately the fact of the

robbery may have real significance not only to the officer's state of mind, but also to michael brown's state of mind. >> you've been involved in these investigations, why did the police, who have had this video for days, taken so long to release it, and how many times the police officer discharged his weapon. >> i don't understand why they wouldn't release the evidence as soon as they had it, and be very open. there may be legal consideration. they may wanted to be certain that it was michael brown who was depicted in the video before they released it and told the public that that it was. there are legal and tactical considerations, but frankly it's a piece of evidence from a p p.r. perspective that it supports the officer, and their

handling of it. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> ash har quaraishi, you've been out there with protesters. they've been calling for transparency. what has the reaction been like now that they have a little transparency, and what is it like tonight? >> reporter: well, the reaction has been two-fold. they've been reacting positively because in response to something they've been asking for day. they wanted to know the name of the officer who shot michael brown. but then then a video that purports michael brown committing a robbery. people are asking why putting out this information unless they're diverting the attention

from the name of this police officer. and confounding as you said the burglary was not made known to this police officer as we were told originally. so it may not or should not have played a part in whether or not he was stopped. so there is a two-fold reaction here. but again today just like yesterday a very deficient tone. we're not seeing the police officers, the armored vehicles, and the s.w.a.t. team and police in riot gear. it is a loud and boyc boisterous protest. >> the brown family said it does appear to be michael brown in the video, and again they think it was character assassination to release it as they did with the name of the police officer involved. now the person who has been celebrated for calming things down is captain ron johnson, who was put in charge of things and given control over the security situation, but he was upset

about the ferguson police chief releasing all this information without his knowledge. what's going on? >> reporter: well, you know, clearly he doesn't have control over the investigation. the investigation is being conducted by a series of other agencies including the department of justice, the fbi and st. louis county police department. his jurisdiction is to maintain crowd control here. so it effects him in that way. if it incites people here that makes his job harder to deal with. he's been here today. we've seen him come through here. the crowds have followed him. the handshaking and the hugging, he is a man that the people here trust. this is the only significant police presence we have seen at all in the last two days. the idea that he'll do his job here is made more difficult with the release of the surveillance

would when it has nothing to do with the investigation of the shooting here. >> it's good to see things are calmer tonight. al jazeera's ash har quaraishi. thank you. joining us from atlanta, georgia, is dr. cedric alexander. he's also the president of the national security of black law enforcement executives. he's going to ferguson, missouri, on saturday to talk to the police chief and other officials on how to improve the relations between the community and police. good to have you with us. i know you would encourage the police to be more transparent, and they did that on friday, but residence believe that the police released the report about the robbery just as they were revealing the officer's name as an attempt to justified the shooting. michael brown's family called it a deviant attempt to as

assassinate michael brown's character. >> i don't have a statement. i certainly cannot speak to that. but i can say this, my mission over the course of the weekend representing and being the--national president is on one-fold, clearly a lot of descensio dissention goes on between the people and the police. i know the police department there, and having a number of conversations with chief jackson, he understands the importance of maintaining that relationship or garnering relationship with the community. >> now there does seem to be some infighting among police. captain ron johnson was not consulted about the ferguson press conference. he said the robbery and shooting were two separate issues.

>> people in our country commit crimes every day. i'm not going to say one justifies the other. i think if we're going to give answers we need not give hints. we need to say it. >> it's to play devil's advocate, is it a play by law enforcement to announce that michael brown may have committed a robbery. >> i don't know any more than, quite frankly, i've been viewing over the media. now there was a robbery that occurred that day. who is the person involved in that robbery has not been articulated to the public. whether it was michael brown or not. i don't know. but what we do know is that somewhere shortly thereafter there was an altercation with a police officer and mr. brown. now where those two connect and

where they intersect, that becomes part of the whole investigation that is going to take place, or is underway. it becomes a part of that theater, it becomes a part of that entire stage as to was it mr. brown at that store or was it not? where do those two intersect between that and, of course, the shooting itself. i don't know the answer to that, and i don't think anyone has clearly articulated the answer to it. it is mere speculation because it is an ongoing investigation. >> talk about the community and it's relations with the police. there is little doubt that ferguson needs more diversity on the police officer. 53%, only three african-american in a city more than two-thirds black. how does it even get to that

point where there is such an enormous dichotomy between a police force and a community? >> well, you know, it could be a number of reasons for it, and i'll speculate for a moment. we don't know what the demographics of that city may have been 15-20 years ago. i don't have that piece of democratic history. >> it was degre predominantly white in 30 years ago but that began to change in the 80's. >> you have 60% african-american, and you have a police department that is 97% white, and three african-americans, reportedly, and the rest are white. that's a real grave concern. i've had brief conversation with chief--with the chief about that. and we're going to have that conversation further, and we're

going to work together. that city and noble, we're going to work together to resolve some of those issues, and we're going to do whatever we can to help them. >> now you're pushing for police to be required to wear, to have those wearable cameras and record interactions with citizens. now, we're seeing police being so militarized with such incredible and expensive equipment. why isn't that already the fact across the country? certainly when significant-sized police officers that those cameras are everywhere. >> well, i think we would all agree that a couple of nights ago with the military-style posture that was out there was somewhat questionable, very questionable in regards to people who were just peacefully protesting, and officers standing there with long rifles and sniper on top of a vehicle

pointing it out at the citizens. absolutely that is not acceptable under those circumstances. there are times when police departments must have a s.w.a.t. team that is prepared to engage a threat that is a threat to the community, but that was not the case the other night. that was another misstep that took place. that should not--that police department should not have engaged as strongly as they did. they were peaceful demonstrators. we are seeing a softer approach now, and it is working. as we move forward this is going to be part of some of the things we're going to learn how--they're going to learn how to do better. there are going to be lessons for police department across the county, too. when to employ those types of

tactics when you're going up against someone who is an imposing threat to the community. but in this case you are talking about citizen who is were unarmed there to protest and express their concern. >> doctor alexander, thank you. >> thank you. >> coming up, the islamic state group carries out another massacre. ukrainian officials claim they partially destroyed an armed convoy. the kremlin calls it a fantacy. could it be a fantasy between ukraine and russia? what do you think? go to our twitter and facebook and google plus pages.

>> international pressure continued to build friday against the islamic state group against atrocities in syria and iraq. european endorsers, in northern iraq and the u.n. security council voted unanimously to black list

leaders of i.s. and others linked to al qaeda. reports claim the jihadists have killed at least 80 yazidi men and abducted women from iraq, they arrived in vehicles and started their killing this afternoon. we believe it's because of their creed. convert or be killed. for more i'm joined from london by majiid noaz. a former ranking member of the islamist group hisbut tarir. he's the author of radical my journey out of islam terrorism. you wrote a powerful piece that said the international community must do more to help the yazidi persecute id by i. s. >> i think that's what the

islamic state is attempting in iraq, dlairk their intention in the world, posing with all sorts of gruesome photographs of what they intend to do with the yazidis, the christians and telling people they are enslaving women and raping them as sex slaves. at the time i wrote the piece there were thousands upon thousands of yazidi community on mount sinjar surround he by islamic state members and the i.s. members threatened to kill them on air. i pleaded with president obama to strike at i.s. forces and strike in their fight back against i. s. professionally i'm encouraged by the view that those forces went

in to cover the ground forces. >> you are personally of the view, if we don't who will stand up for these people, some european nations are offering to help the u.s. rearm the kurds and we're certainly hearing a lot more rhetoric out of europe about this group but is the international community doing enough? >> i think there are a few things to do more and i'm encouraged by the british and american efforts on the humanitarian as well as on the military sort of side of things but there are things we can do to improve. one of them is we need to provide more support to the kurdish peshmerga. it may be pushing for political and diplomatic recognition of the government. with the breakup of iraq as it currently is, the kurdish peshmerga are the strongest forces that have any chance of resisting the islamic terrorists.

i'm encouraged with the election of iraq with abadi succeeding maliki, he has a less of a sectarian approach only time will tell but let's hope for best there. we should provide pressure on the islamist movements and that decision seems to have backfired. we should reconsider the post pike's peak arrangements, the british imposed after world war 1, and the i. ss of s. has failed to capture the imaginations of the people of the region. i would encourage working along economic lines and

form a secular union to pull the rug out of the need of the islamic state. >> those borders were drawn arbitrarily almost 100 years ago, and there's been a lot of talk, whether iraq will split up into three states, sunni, shia and kurd. you described your transformation, could you see yourself supporting a group like the islamic state? people defecting from al qaeda. >> yes, i.s. has become a vanguard for global jihad. though it's an islam ick extremist organization it never subscribed to terrorism.

popularizing the notion of establishing a caliphate, the efforts to force a theocracy, the sunni arabs in particular. too impressed of what the i.s. is doing, the i.s. is too extreme for al qaeda, and they've been fighting for a while. unfortunately, it does seem to be attracting the vast majorities of foreign fighters who are traveling to the region to join a jihadist entity, that is probably because of a few factors, one, their use on the ground, two, and three, their premature declaration of establishing a caliphate. that kick starts a religious obligation to pledge allegiance to the caliph.

>> some of the sunni tribe leaders in iraq may be considering working with the government now that maliki is going to be gone. there's also word that hezbollah, a group that's considered a terrorist group is calling the i.s. monsters. now you've got terrorists calling other terrorists monsters. i realize one is shia, the other is sunni, but could there be a growing movement against the atrocities these are making, mass executions, crucifixions, beheadings? >> hezbollah backed the dictator bashar al-assad, that's less of strategic relevance.

to have a peace much transition to abadi, that calls for optimism. i think what needs to happen now is the arab trieps, abad -- tribes, abadi needs to woo the arab leaders and there's an opportunity for the arab tribes to be brought back into the fold of iraq. what needs to happen is regional sunni governments need to be far more involved, the brits are in there with the humanitarian aid but what are the regional sunni governments doing? it's expected that the shiite led governments would oppose the i.s. as well though they of course are heretics. >> let's hope that does happen. as always very good to have you on the show and good luck with the protests that you're

planning in england to call atrocities that are being committed. >> pleasure to be here. >> turning from the crisis in iraq to conflicting reports of an attack between ukraine and russia. ukrainian officials said friday that an armed russian convoy had been partly destroyed after crossing the country's border. moscow dismissed the report as some kind of fantasy. sometime friday evening, repeated russian incursions in the ukraine. meanwhile the inspector said the relief convoy did include mostly food and water although many trucks appeared to be mostly empty. senior director for russia ukraine

and you'r e ur asia. eurasia. >> russia's foreign minister dismissed these reports, as some kind of fantasy . no russian convoy crossed the bother at night or during the day. >> apparently there was several dozen of them. the fact that the ukrainians were able at nighttime to destroy a good number of them with a artillery fire suggests that the ukrainians have pretty good military capability in an area at luhansk, generally thought to be controlled by the rebels. >> now naict nat nato said the incursion, britain summoned russia ambassador to explain exactly what was happening.

foreign secretary phillip hammond made these comments. >> there are any russian military personnel or vehicles in eastern ukraine they need to be withdrawn immediately or the consequences could be very serious. >> now how serious do you think this is? >> well, the main consequences of course are the ones that ukraine has just delivered onto the armored personnel carriers but there are others. ukraine seems to be bobbing an weaving going back and forth, into eastern ukraine it used to have 40,000 troops opposite eastern ukraine a couple months ago, then withdrew some then built back to 20,000. ukraine seems unwilling to go forward. the big shock was state owned rossnef asked for 40 billion in

aid, saying it's not able to borrow that on economic markets. the cost of this military around ukraine are rising. >> let's talk about the sanctions and how they're starting to punish ordinary russians. we're seeing that inflation is expected to hit 9% this year. there are new taxes that are being added to close the budget gaps. greatly because of the crisis in ukraine. there's a poll out there that says a minimal number of russians said they're willing to make personal sacrifices for vladimir putin's plit commitments. could ordinary discontent of russians be on the rise and force putin to back off? >> that's quite possible. when they seized crimea earlier this year, that was a bloodless seizure. complete tablght cal surprise,

that -- tactical surprise about that. but when russians became ambitious, going into eastern ukraine, ukrainians had time to prepare and the cost of that kind of activity have been rising steadily over time. as ukraine developed its military capabilities moved them eastward, ukrainians , luhansk donetske, the kremlin had to make a decision should it retreat? should it for example try to hold on only to one of those two, oblesk, and luhansk protrudes more into russia than donetske does. they may be thinking about sacrificing one of them or both of them. pressure is rising. >> the red cross says that the humanitarian situation in rebel

held areas especially in luhansk, lack ever electricity, lack of power lack of water is really getting serious. of course much of the concern this week had been over what the russians called an aid convoy, 260 trucks that were going oluhansk where all this fighting is is taking place. but when those trucks were searched by ukrainian border guards they found aid supplies in some trucks while others were almost empty. western reporters have confirmed that, that they saw trucks that were almost empty and meantime, military vehicles were seen escorting the convoy. what do you think the russians are up to with this? >> the russians probably intended for those supplies to go to rebel forces so rebel forces could build some goodwill themselves by distributing some of the supplies and rebel forces could have used other supplies. the fact that some of the trucks were largely empty suggests that

what russia really wanted to get there were the military related personnel going with those trucks and the trucks themselves could serve useful purposes. >> is putin thinking that the west is distracted by what's going on in iraq and syria and israel and gaza and if so what would this mean for him. >> well, it's clear europe and america still giving this high priority. europe and america are standing together as we just saw from the comment from british foreign secretary phillip hammond. they are actually taking the lead, in europe, stronger than american comments are. if putin hoped that, that's not really happening. from putin's standpoint this thing may be going sour rapidly. he has to think what to do. if they are going to retreat rather than invade, the odds are

they are not going to carry out an invasion, what are his options? the parallel, nikita khrushchev was out offed less than two years later. so putin has to figure, he would have been better off probably taking crimea. but by going bigger he is gambling a bigger political loss. >> ambassador good to have you with us. >> thank you antonio. >> now for other stories around the world. we begin in pakistan where clashes erupted as an estimated 20,000 people who were marching towards the capitol of islamabad were attacked with rocks and possibly gun

fire. imran khan. pakistan's first democrat transfer of power since gaining power in 1947. but khan says they want supervision under a new provisional government. but sharif, will block roads with trucks and bashed wire. africa, world health organization is warning the ebola outbreak is much worse than initially thought. 2,000 have been confirmed infected and 1,140 people have died. vast reply underestimate the magnitude of the outbreak. the w.h.o. did announce a scaling up of support for hardest hit countries but on friday doctors without borders says the outbreak could last another six

months. >> texas, governor rick perry has been indicted. he had threatened to veto a bill and withhold the money unless the head of the unit, district attorney, rosemary lemburg resigned. she had pleaded guilty to drunk driving. when she refused to resign, he vetoed the bill. he is accused of coercion of a public servant. he so face nine years. that's something . also the panama canal turns 100 years old. why it's just as important today as it was back then. nchtsd and later a new michael jackson video is released online to immediate success. >> on tech know, >> the system is paying attention...

>> life saving technology... >> i definitely slowed down as a result... >> transforming the way you drive... >> maybe crashes won't happen any more... >> smart cars of the future... >> whoa...i would have driven straight through that... >> tech know, every saturday go where science meets humanity. >> this is some of the best driving i've every done, even though i can't see. >> tech know. >> we're here in the vortex. only on al jazeera america.

>> every saturday join us for exclusive, revealing, and surprising talks with the most interesting people of our time. rosie perez >> i had to fight back, or else my ass was gonna get kicked... >> a tough childhood... >> there was a crying, there was a lot of laughter... >> finding her voice >> i was not a ham, i was ham & cheese... >> and turning it around... >> you don't have to let your circumstance dictate who you are as a person >> talk to al jazeera only on al jazeera america

>> imagine a world when a car gets 84 miles to a gallon, goes from zero to 60 in 9.4 seconds and cost 6,000? the car is the eleo, you have to get in line, 27,000 people have already ordered one. it looks strange, it only has three wheels. >> jim, good to have you with us. this thing looks pecular in a futuristic way. all the safety features of a car, antilock breaks air bags and pretty much everything else. you've driven one. how does it feel more like a car or a motorcycle? >> it's a little hard to tell at this point. because it doesn't have the

production engine yet. it's got a motor from a jee geometro geometro. unfortunately, the car is supposed to come out around the end of the year. they've had some delays. end of next year i should say. and what they're trying to do is, they're trying to get a very low-cost commuter car, cost $6800 and as you said get like 84 miles per gallon. it's all theoretical now, they've actually got to get the motor in. that thing creates -- i drove it around new york, new york city with the current configuration and people went absolutely nuts over it. they're so excited, to see it. they thought it would cost a whole lot more. when they hear the target is $6800 they want one. >> they say it can go 100 miles an hour.

84 miles on the highway per gallon of gas. 64 in the city. after driving it, it looks a little flimsy. is it something you would want to go even 75 miles an hour in because it doesn't look that sturdy. >> again it's hard to tell. i only drove it around new york, on city streets. it might be a handful on the highway. i wouldn't be surprised. i didn't have that experience. the motor in it isn't one that it's eventually going ohave and a whole lot of engineering still has to happen before this car is any kind of ready to go condition. >> what about comfort? it has two seats one behind the other and four and a half feet tall. it gets dwarfed by all those suvs around there. >> it's like any low riding car, you have to sort of climb into it. i would say the real challenge

is for the second passenger who sits directly behind the driver. that's really claustrophobic. i'm six feet tall, i fit back there but it's not a place i would want to be for a long time i can tell that you. >> the price $6800, it's a lot less than the average price of a new car in the u.s. which is about $32,000 and a lot less than the least expensive car, $14,000. how are they managing to sell it for so little? >> if you look at their projections they say they're only going to make about $1,000 profit per car. definitely. it is going to take them a while to get their investment back. but -- and also they're talking about very high volumes. they want to produce 250,000 of them in a year which may be with the public excitement that's possible but to really get

oprofitability they're going to need -- to profitability they're going to need fairly high margin. >> final answer do you think it will succeed? >> if they can do what they say they're going to do which is achieve their targets. get to the 84 miles per gallon, actually sell it for $6800. it happened to be a really quality-feeling car and not something that feels flimsy, if they can do all that then i think they would have a success. but a lot of things have to happen first. they have to raise the money not only to get it through the engineering phase but through production. they have to build a dealer network. they have to have a service network. i mean there's a reason that tesla is the only successful american auto america launched since chrysler in the 20s. it's really hard to do. i've met paul, he is a really go-getter very enthusiastic guy.

i hope he can make it work. certainly he's putting his heart and soul into it. so let's see if it works. >> it will be an interesting project. paul, thank you for joining us. coming up, we lost two of our greatest, we'll look if it's

>> today's data dive sails through the panama canal. today marks 100 years, 270

billion a year of shipping. during the past year more than a million vessels passed through canal carrying an excess of 8 billion pounds of cargo. from the atlantic ocean to the pacific, ships take about eight to ten hours to cross. a canal to allow inexpensive shipping from the ports of the atlantic and the ports in the pacific, an attempt through central america failed. the u.s. got rights to build it in panama, but panama rejected the deal. theodore roosevelt responded by stationing ships add ends, where it would be built. panama relented. annual payment of $250,000. the project took a decade to complete and cost

$375 million, that's about $9 billion, adjusted for inflation. 10% of the people who worked on the canal died because of accident or illness. it was an achievement that remained under u.s. control until 1999. 20 years after president jimmy carter agreed to transfer the control to panama. $5.5 billion expansion that began in 2007.

only on al jazeera america >> this week was especially sad for movie lovers as the world said good-bye to both robin williams and lauren b bacall. some of the most unforgettable characters to ever appear on film. this week brought new information from another entertainer gone too soon, michael jackson released another video, like no one has ever done before. former npr arts editor bill wyman. michael jackson original again because he's debuted they have debuted for him, this video on twitter.

huge screen in times square, he passed away and they're still releasing new videos of him. >> it's so true and what's happening here is the estate of michael jackson which is run by a very sharp lawyer in l.a. is just doing its job. it's supposed to monetize the estate, for his three children. michael jackson didn't record much material in the last ten to 15 years of his life. i kind of think if it was great released. this is second pos posthumous album. this is hype master to pay attention to these songs. >> you've written about the jackson estate for the new yorker. the video was of a song of a place with no name which is on his second posthumous

album, released in may. there are more videos to come, according to his estate. obviously, as you said, they are there to make money. jackson has harris. bu -- heirs.but the question is byo much, with questionable quality are they hurting his legacy? >> it's hard to tell. because they would probably say that there is some money coming out of it. interestingly, i don't even know if they're making that much money from the actual releases which let's face it aren't selling that well but they do better overseas as jackson's career always was. it lets them monetize his image. remember the cirque du soleil show. michael jackson's holdings, by some accounts he was nearly bankrupt at the time of his death. they've put everything into the black.

the video is based on the owl america song a horse with no name. outtakes, it's material from the herb ritz video in the closet, which was a very strange song for him to do at the time. and a few constant seconds standing on the set, wearing his sunglasses and look made up. >> let's move on with lauren bacall, seems like she didn't get the attention she deserved. her greatest movie line, to have and have not. >> you know how to whistle don't you steve? you just put your lips together and blow. >> the line is ranked on the american film institute's list of top movie quotes as number 34. american film institute has her as 20th of the greatest movie actresses of all time.
