holidays from its calendar. the question continues, at aljazeera.com/considerthis and you can tweet me termt. me@amora.tv. bp bp eye hi, everyone. i'm john seigenthaler. this is al jazeera america weather alert - u.s. weather and satellite systems hacked by china, why american officials apparently kept it quiet. >> use of force - the stunning in a spike in killings across the country u.s. sailors assaulted on the streets of turkey triumph and tragedy, an

astonishing step forward for space exploration, as we learn more about a deadly set back for space flight there are now revelations about a chinese cyber attack on the u.s., and a possible cover up. officials say the hackers broke into u.s. systems, forcing satellite information and the websites to be shut down. data critical too aviation, planning may have been compromised. it happened in august, but acknowledged in public today. clifford newman is at the center for computer systems security at the university of southern california. welcome. do you think this is a criminal enterprise or a state sponsored infiltration. we can't tell. one needs to understand what the motives might be. when one looks at the breaches for noah, one has to wonder what

is criminal enterprise might want. what might happen is that this may be a precursor for another kind of attack. for example, the noah systems are implicated and used in a lot of infrastructure, and by attacking some of those systems it might provide a path into some of these more critical systems down the road. with the postal service we saw a lot of personal information, including names and addresses. in terms of noah, what do you think was at stake? >> i don't know what was at stake. sometimes it could be trying out the defenses on a lot of different senses. we see a lot of breaches from the banks, post office and noah. and there seems to be less and less control that we have over the infrastructure that is in. so one needs to wonder is this a first stage in trying to gather information, a stage in trying to place back doors into some of

the systems that may be useable to get further into some of this. >> how well equipped are these agencies in coping with the threats? >> some of these agencies should be well equipped. when you have public facing websites there'll be a vulnerability, no system is secure. you need to design your systems to provide stronger isolation from those parts for things that might be public facing. and those that are critical. president obama stated that cyber security was on the zennezenne zenneda -- agenda when he met with xi jinping. >> i think there are a couple of security issues. certainly, there is likely to be cooperation around stepping the

tide of cyber criminal activity. i don't think we'll see much in the way of cooperation. each side is blaming the other, and each side is denying their own involvement. >> we hear about china and russia, what other countries are involved? >> if you look at where many of the attacks originate, a lot originate from the u.s. it's hard to attribute these attacks because oftentimes stepping off points are used from individual's home machines, and the fact that an attack comes from the u.s., or that it's coming from china doesn't mean that that is where the criminal that is launching the attack is actually located. they are just using stepping stones. >> how can the u.s. better protect these agencies in the future. >> in fact, they have incident response teams that are designed to do that. ultimately, and this is a multi year effort. one needs to change the design

of the systems, right now, too much of the software systems are based on software that is commonly used, and that has a lot of bugs in it. some of these critical systems need to be skinned with their own core operating systems, and their own core systems built around that that will provide stronger isolation. the new climate change deal is being condemned in some quarters. libby casey has more. >> reporter: on the hill, fierce reaction from republicans at the surprise agreement struck between president obama and chinese leader xi jinping. >> reporter: congress returned from a long break on the campaign trail to an atmosphere like the first day of school.

there has been calls for collegiality, and there's descension been president obama's climate change with china. >> i'm distressed about a deal he's reached with the chinese on his current trip, which requires the chinese to do nothing at all for 16 years. the carbon emissions are creating havoc in my state and others. >> reporter: the agreement between china and the u.s. promise so cap greenhouse gas emissions. the total commissions will be cut more than a quarter from 2005 levels by 2025. china agreed to peak emissions by 2030, and will increase its share of clean energy by 20%. >> the speaker of the house wasted no time blasting the obama administration and promising is reign in the environmental protection agency. in a statement he said:

president obama calls the deal historic. >> it will help to improve public health, grow the economy, create jobs and stlengthen energy -- strengthen energy future and put both countries on a path to lower emissions. >> many in congress campaigned against tougher environmental regulations. republicans are pushing forward with something on their wishlist, and will take a vote on a keystone pipeline bill. crafted by bill cassidy. a house member, but hopes to be promoted the senate. he's in a run-off with mary

landrieu, democrats are trying to protect her, allowing the senate to take a vote on the key stephen pipeline, that which mary landrieu can go home saying she has a vote. whether they'll have enough democrats in the senate to support and pass it is up in the air illinois congresswoman jan shcows ki will join us to talk about the influence of whimmon on capitol hill cold weather is blanketing half the country. meteorologist rebecca stevenson is here with the latest. >> an arctic chill. cold air is moving in. temperatures dropping down. denver, 3 below zero. temperatures will drop. already in the last three days there has been a drop in oklahoma of 51. that's when the temperatures started at 80. today the high temperature was 29 degrees.

we'll continue to get the cold air pushing in. freeze warnings have been issued for albuquerque, texas and alabama. concerns are pipes freezing and bursting when there's a warm up above the freezing mark. clearly we'll sit on the low to mid 20s in the areas in the morning hours. several hours of temperatures lead to problems. that will impact parts of arkansas, northern louisiana. temperatures as high as anywhere from 20-40 degrees. below the average for this time of year. we usually get somewhat cool at this time of year. some areas are a week ahead of the first freeze of the season. slowly, as we get into the early part of next week, the cold air will move over the east coast and the north-east and sit for several days. this is a cold stretch we'll look at to potentially break more records. >> thank you.

six of the world's biggest banks are paying more than $4 billion in fines for trying to rig the foreign currency market. jpmorgan chase, bank of america, city group - the fines following a year-long investigation by the u.s. in britain, u.s. and switzerland. >> traders shared information about client orders. "real money"s mary snow explains how the foreign exchange works and what traders are accused of doing. >> reporter: whether it's dollars, euros or yen, trading in foreign exchange markets averages $5.3 trillion, more than the g.d.p. of japan. despite being the largest market. experts say it's unregulated. currencies are traded electronically at dizzying speed. 40% of trading is done in the u.k., followed by the u.s., singapore, japan and hong kong.

unlike stock, currents cities are not traded. there is a pause for 60 seconds in london time, called the fix. it's a way to set a benchmark, constantly moving on economic new, and sensitive to rumours. the pause sets a value of a currency for the day, it's around this time of the fix that 4 x traders are accused of markets manipulation, and is at the heart of a 4.3 billion fine for six major banks to ukraine, and warnings from kiev that the region is on the brink of war. a convoy of russian tanks and troops crossed the border. an emergency session has been held, at the request of the u.s. the american ambassador accused moscow of repeatedly violating a

ceasefire, shattered by shelling and gunfire. more from rory challands in moscow. >> reporter: sightings like this increased in recent days. tanks and military equipment on the move in eastern ukraine. kiev says separatists are supplied heavy weaponry by russia. not just tanks, but combat troops too. an allegation that n.a.t.o. backed up with its own observations. >> across the last two days we have seen the same thing that o.s.c.e. is reporting. we have seen columns of russian equipment, primarily russian tanks, russian artillery. russian air defense tips and russian comgk systems, and russian combat troops entering into ukraine. we do not have a good picture. we agree there are multiple columns we have seen. >> moscow's position is to

insist that it has no military role in the conflict. the defence ministry dismissed the general's comments, calling them alarmist and anti-russian. it's a message for domestic ears than foreign ones. most russians have no desire to see sons and brothers fight in ukraine. >> depending there's no russian soldiers, as long as the levels of hostilities allows such. that's what russia will be doing, we'll deny. >> with fighting intensifying in recent days, the ceasefire agreed in minsk appears to be dead. both the rebels and the ukranian army are preparing for increased hostilities. >> translation: we are seeing more power coming into the hands of terror groups than russia, we see the movements, positions and are waiting for them to act. how can we react to their acts. i see it as an aim to be ready to fight.

>> lawmakers returning to capital hill are taking up the debate against i.s.i.l. u.s. military operations cost hundreds of millions. the white house is asking for billions more. rosalind jordan reports. [ explosion ] >> reporter: while iraqi forces retook control of a town in sala hootin province, military providers went to the anbar airbase to see if it's a good place to train forces. the u.s. is expanding the train and assist region. deploying 800 around the country. the enrique pena nieto insists that this is still a support mission. nothing more. >> there's no intent to put the trainers out in the field with these units once they are trained. nothing changed about the

policy, there's no introduction to u.s. troops in a combat role in iraq. >> so far the enrique pena nieto is spending $8 million a day, or $728 million through nef 6th on air strikes against i.s.i.l., and supporting iraqi and kurdish troops. in the same period the military probably sent more than that. $13.6 million, or $1.2 billion overall. the white house is asking congress for $5.6 billion to expand operations. that request is loose change compared to the 87 billion that the bush administration asks for in 2003. at the start of its war in iraq. the entire effort ended up costing as much as $6 trillion. even so, u.s. officials know that asking congress for money now is a sensitive matter. >> the united states will not be responsible for funding the effort. we'll accept contributions from iraq and contributions from the

coalition members. not just in terms of people, but dollars as well. >> that raises a question - does the u.s. have a goal of ending its mission. some analysts say if so, the goal is not one of time. >> they basically cannot predict when it will end. what they are trying do is give the iraqis enough time and space where they can begin to take the initiative. >> the obama administration say it will take years to defeat i.s.i.l. the challenge will be to do so, without sending in u.s. ground troops an ebola update tonight in west africa. the world health organisation says the virus has killed 5,160 people, mostly in sierra leone, guinea and liberia. four deaths in mali. in california, 18,000 nurses walked off the job to demand more protection against ebola,

saying that medical centers are not prepared to handle new cases. melissa chan has more. >> there are two things that the nurses want when it comes to better ebola protection and preparedness. they need more training, you can't have a couple of workshops, you need training, and that's something that the experts told us in the past. it's important to have the regular type of training. ebola is a contagious infectious disease. the other things nurses are saying is they need better protective gear. here we have a hospital by hospital basis. it's how much each hospital is willing to put in terms of funding with ebola. we are standing in front of a medical center that nurses are striking at and protesting at across the country this day. here the hospital says that, you know, they have had conversations with the nurses to come up with a game plan on ebola, but if you talk to the nurse, they say the hospital has

not been a good faith when they sit to have these talks. the nurses essentially used the ebola crisis as a jumping off point to talk about a lot of other grievances, saying that the issue is the hospital system in the united states. across the country hospitals are hiring enough nurses, they often feel short staffed and unable to take care of the patients. at the end of the day they say it's not just about them, it's patient care for the first time history man landed a robot yik spacecraft on a comet. the astonishing success comes after a decade-long mission. for more, let's go to science and technology correspondent jacob ward. >> just getting the rosetta spacecraft to the comet is incredible in and of itself. it had to travel a total of over 4 billion miles, because it had

to sling shot around multiple objects on the way to get the proper speed. it went around mars - it's extraordinary, the journey it has taken so far. keep in mind that it took 10 years to do that and 2.5 years, rosetta was switched off, dark, and reawakened in order to approach the comet. that alone is amazing, something to be proud of. when it arrived at the comet it had to release the lander and allow it to guide itself, without human intervention, over the course of seven hours to the surface of this hostel and irregular object. the reason we are there is to study ain't material of the universe. they are some of the oldest objects that we'll get to see. we are up close and personal with some of the original organic molecules that goes into making water, human being, and everything that we are. all of that is contained within

the comments. we are looking at the formation. universe, the material that made it in a way we haven't before. over 2.5 days, it's the crucial time. hopefully the lander will gather data. it hopes to hang ongoing for three months. it won't survive as it approaches the sun, it will be burnt to death. there's concern that it's not adequately attached to the comet. the comet has no gravity, there's no attraction between the lander and the thing it's sitting on. it came to rest and has to secure it is. the harpoons are not attached, the drill bits in the landing pad bits are there, that's good, but it's not the attachment we hoped for. that said, this is an amazing human moment. this is how dr jim green who runs planetary sciences for n.a.s.a. - this is how he

explains how extraordinary the event is for us all. >> the mission that has been produced and quigiven back to t world allowed us to participate. we should relish the moment. it's the start of something important. the solar system is mankind's. this mission is the first step to take it. it's ours. >> in the end, this is an amazing day in that we have really looked into the chaos of the universe and imprinted ourselves on it. it's a proud day to be human. >> jake ward, thank you. coming up this hour, details about the spacecraft that crashed in the mojave desert, and how the pilot survived and american sailors assaulted in istanbul.

when it comes to handling campus sexual cases high schools sometimes take a different approaches to colleges and universities, al jazeera has been investigating case in

henderson texas, a student said she was raped in a bathroom. more from "america tonight"s lori jane gliha rachel carries a rubic's cub everywhere she goes. it as security blanket helping her in anxious moments. >> i feel better. >> reporter: rachel has been doing this ever since one afternoon at 17, a high school senior, a member of the marching band in the town of henderson texas. inside that building is where you were raped? >> right. >> reporter: a student, a football player and a fellow band member lured her into the band room, where she said he raped her. >> it was strictly forced. almost. >> reporter: rachel's mum said the high school was unprepared to handle the incident. and made mistakes from the

moment rachel reported the assault. >> she went to the teacher on the day it happened. there was semen on her shirt, and told him, "i have been raped." he said "go confront your attacker." >> reporter: it wasn't until rachel told another teacher two days later, that the campus handed it over to the police, who concluded 24 hours later that the case was consensual. >> i was pissed. i was shocked and angry. >> reporter: in a move that shocked rachel and her family, the school punished her for public ludeness and forced her to attend this school along with her attacker. title 9 requires schools conduct investigations promptly and effectively regardless of police involvement. and schools must protect, not

punish or retaliate against students. in june 2012, the department of education's office of still rights pushed the high school in a new direction when it found the school violated title 9 and drew up a 13-point plan to bring it into line. we asked administrators to talk on camera about the way they handed rachel's case. they declined. they revised procedures to comply with title 9. they are said they were committed to provide a safe environment for all students. it has been four years, but the assault has left its mark on rachel - anxiety and anger that she is coping with in her own way. she hopes telling her story will bring high school rape into the open, so other girls, even her daughter, will not face what she did you can watch the full report on "america tonight",

coming up at the top of the hour. coming up on this broadcast. a report about the number of police killings in a single year, plus the outrage of a massacre of dozens of students and the new scandal involving the

a hi everyone, this is al jazeera america, i'll john seigenthaler. coming up, police killings on

the rise in the u.s. we'll take a look at the surprising numbers. navy members assaulted in turkey - a look at who was behind the attack against the odds - an amazing survival story from the pilot of the virgin galactic that crashed in the mojave desert des. -- mojave desert. a grand jury is hearing testimony in the police shooting of michael brown, the death of the unarmed team led to weeks of sometimes violent protest over excessive force. now we are learning that the number of people shot and killed is going up across the country. >> jonathan betz is here with more. >> it's been rising. the anger reflects tension felt in many places between officers and the places they are supposed

to protect. >> reporter: ferguson, missouri boarding up ahead of a grand jury decision that could set up protests and violence. >> we are preparing for the worst, and hoping for the best. >> reporter: anger extend beyond st louis. from new york city, to new mexico. officers accused of using excessive, often lethal force. >> every police officer out there is not behaving in this way. there are many circumstances where police see young men of colour. >> federal bureau of investigation numbers confirm what activists warned, the number of officer controlled shootings across the country has been rising. nationally police officers killed 461 felon suspect last year, killings that were declared justifiable. it's the most in nearly two decades.

two weeks ago albuquerque new mexico agreed to overhaul their development after 33 people were killed in 32 keers. >> it's a roadmap of rebuilding trust between the community and police. >> they'll join others in seattle at having police departments monitored. ferguson's leaders promised changes and peace. activists demand answers. it's been a worry that the number of officer-involved shootings could be higher, because not all police departments report shootings, nor are they required to. it troubles activists, because they don't know how many are killed by officers every year. >> thank you former n.y.p.d. inspector cory is in washington. what do you think about the numbers? >> first of all, i think the numbers are very alarming. given the fact of all the recent incidents, albuquerque, st

louis, new york city, for police departments to have a choice to report daily physical force, it's pretty much observed. >> the economists compared the fatal police shootings in the united states to other countries. 400 in america compared to zero in japan, zero in britain, eight in germany. is the issue more than having a diverse force? >> yes. the elephant in the room for america is kun control. that's the elephant in the room that no one wants to deal with. >> talk about that, what do you mean by that. >> the access for guns in new york, in america, is too easy. you can go to so many states and see special zones, and at other stations. you go europe, the police don't have guns and the citizens don't have guns.

you see that there's a zero fatality from bliss involved shooting. >> you say police have to deal with a situation in the u.s., it's out of control. >> yes, it's totally out of control. you see in washington they are fighting over gun legislation, all over the united states. there's easy access for guns. once we control that, it's two fold. we want the police to stop using deadly physical force, and we want to stop the guns from coming into the big cities. we can't - the police have to be armed. they have to be armed. we can't be europe. >> what about the complaint that african-americans are involved in the incidents to more of an extent than other people in the united states, and i mean the activists that jonathan was talking about in his story point

to the number of cases like michael browns that happened obvious the last year, and say it's not fair. what do you say to that. >> i say this, i said this on your show before, america needs to acknowledge that the fact is there's a serious discord between police and minority communities. so once we acknowledge that, then we can take steps to rectify the situations. in . >> how do you fix it? >> diversifying the community. 53 officers, two black, 51 white in ferguson. how does that happen? before michael brown, someone should have looked at that. schoolboard without any african-american on the schoolboard. that municipality has deep-rooted issues. >> the municipality is prepared for violence in ferguson. what does that do to the

situation? >> it inflames it. ferguson will be the test case for what will be the future of protests and policing in minority communities. if there's a not guilty verdict that comes down or the jury hands down, you know, a possibility for an indictment, i don't know what will happen down there. >> good to have you on the programme again. thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. >> michael brown's parents appeared before a u.n. committee. they are considering the possibility that brown's killing meets the international tender for torture. paul brennan reports. >> >> reporter: what began in a small town in missouri brought the parents of michael brown to the heart of the united nations in geneva. their schedule has been a whirlwind of meetings and briefings, the aim to bring policies in the u.s. amounting to a violation of international

law. >> the trip is important for the family. make a powerful tilt towards justice. we need your help. that's why we are here. we need the help to get it done. >> the family are convinced that the killing of young michael brown, and the level of force used by the police amounts to a violation and the un convention on torture and cruel and invading treatment, to which the u.s. is a signatory. the visit coincides o to the united states being questioned about its record. >> we recognise that no nation is perfect. ours including. we learnt from the past and strengthened the implementation. the question was wide-ranging from questioning detainees at guantanamo bay, but the

recurring theme was the question of the accountability of law enforcement. >> any country and the u.s., it's important for the committee to know what the state does to ensure transparency and accountability. the u.s. government listened intently to the question. they'll have to return to the room with answers. >> the outcome could redefine the nature of law enforcement. >> it's a wide interpretation to apply it to what happened in ferguson, the term torture. the family of michael brown are convinced they can make it stick now to an unsettling incident straining relations between turkey and the u.s. the enrique pena nieto condemned an attack on three u.s. sailors in istanbul, calling it ugly and disturbing. video was taken not far from where the u.s. warship was

docked. >> it was routine for the guided missile cruiser making a port call in turkey, a nato ally. a video posted shows the sailors accosted by a group of angry men who are shouting things at them. from what they are shouting is clear, they are not happy americans are in their country. >> because we define you as murderers, killers. we want you to get out of our land. >> reporter: the enrique pena nieto -- penta gone says to the sailors credit they managed to get out of the situation without retaliation, it's disturbing but has no long-term effect with turkey and the united states, the u.s. navy issued a quote:

turkey condemned the attack as a disrespectful act and was in no way tolerated. sailors are on their ship after shore leaf was cancelled and the ship is planning to return to its home port in spain tomorrow. turkish police crowned up 12 suspects in the incident. the pentagon dismissed the incident as a 1-off by street thugs, and said that istanbul is a popular point of call for u.s. navy ships and the hospitality extended to american sailors jimmie mcintyre reporting. more protests in mexico over the disappearance of 43 students. protestors ransacked a government building, demanding that the president resign.

demonstrators say pena nieto's tolerance of this is part of the problem. adam raney reports. >> we have seen the third straight day of violent protests in guerrero. here on wednesday, they torched the chamber of the state congress and set on fire a library. the officers and the rooms in this state congress were empty. there's no session. but shows the intensity and violence. the protesters turn up the heat. they went on to torch vehicles. this protest was mainly full of demonstrators. and the teachers' union were allied, some of the students that attended the same college, that the students studied before they went missing. the president has to deal with an ongoing waive of violent

protests and peaceful protests in other parts of the country. he's buffed by another scandal. >> qatar expected to learn whether it will host the 2022 world cup. they faced accusations that they paid bribes to secure the tournament. results of an investigation by soccer's governing body are expected tomorrow, a source close to f.i.f.a. says qatar will face criticism over its bidding for the tournament. there'll be no harsh penalty. russia faced criticise. in massachusetts, hundreds attended a town meeting to debate a proposed ban on the sale of tobacco products. the meeting in wisconsin ended after opponents got rowdy. the proposal divided the town, vendors saying it will hurt business. >> i'm cool with it. smoking is terrible. i have three little boys.

i'd like to see a time where they grow up where cigarettes is not part of dally life. >> i don't think it will result in what they want, and it's impeding on a business's freedom to sell things that are legal. >> westminster's board of health will vote on a proposal. if passed it will be a first in the nation band. we are learning more about the crash of virgin galactic. a report from the national transportation safety board says the pilot is survival after being thrown from the aircraft is amazing. >> the pilot who survived, peter siebold, told investigators that he was thrown from the plane, still in his seat as it came apart at about 50,000 feet. he may have lost conscious innocence at that alt -- conesness at that altitude. at some point he regained consciousness, unbuckled the

seatbelt and his parachute deployed, cushioning his fall to the ground. he suffered injuries and was hospitalized. his co-pilot michael alsbry did not survive. the n.t.s.b. have finished their investigates. pieces of plane are secured. so they can be examined. next week the n.t.s.b. will bring a team of investigators to washington d.c. to the n.t.s.b. lab and they'll review the video footage of the accident from the ground and from the air. other teams continue to look at the data, what was happening with the airplane systems, and the aerodynamic forces on that craft as it came apart. >> still any final report on what went wrong could be a year away. >> the virgin galactic pilot is not the first person to survive

the supersonic crash. 50 years ago another pilot lived through a similar disaster at a higher altitude and speed. jake ward has that. >> john, the fact that peter siebold, the pilot of space ship two survived is incredible. the working theory is when the co-pilot unlocked the feathering system, that would reshape the aircraft to send it into space, the force of the wind around the aircraft in fact forced it to move in a way it wasn't intended to at that point. at 660 miles per hour at about mock one, the speed it was going, it's enough force to reshape an aircraft and kill a human being - break bones, tear flesh. it's a miracle that peter siebold was not torn apart. he managed to stay alive. he's not the first person to do this. bill weaver, a test pilot for

the u.s. air force in 1966 survived the break-up of an sr 71 black bird, a spy plane, that came apart at mok 3.18, over 2,400 miles per hour. he reported that he has almost no memory of the descent. once he came out he was knocked unconscious. when he came too, he discovered the seatbelt around him had been shredded. the forces should have torn him apart. he credited the suit he wore as a buffer, an armour. his co-pilot unfortunately did not survive. in peter siebold's case he was not wearing a pressurised jump suit. as virgin galactic goes forward, they may look for the potential of outfitting passengers and pilots with a suit withstanding incredible violence that ended the life of a co-pilot and spared the life of peter siebold jacob ward. officials on the big island of

hawaii are keeping an eye on slow-moving lava that is closing in on a small town. the stream of lava is now oozing into the driveway of a trash transfer station. civil defense systems say ns not a threat. lava from the volcano destroyed a house. >> next, our picture of the day. plus...
