nationwide movement, the anger erupted, after police killed an unarmed black teenager in missouri,. >> 50 years after the landmark civil rights act was passed, old unwounds were opened. after violence erupted on the streets of ferguson, missouri. three and a half months of fury had been simmering since a white police officer killed a black teenager in a warm day in august. michael brown had been shot six times. brown was unarmed. within hours, hundreds of outraged protesters took to the streets. but soon some opportunity volunteer, looting businesses, a

gas station and convenience store was lit on fire, piecing together what had happened to their son leaning on civil rights activists for support. >> no one last the right to take their child's name and drag it through the mud because you angry. >> stand up don't shoot. >> long been one of the country's most segregated region. nearly 70% of residents here are african american. the police department hasn't kept up with that change. only three out of 53 police officers in fergs ar ferguson a. almost all the administrators are white. >> i don't want the society to see this as just an african american thing. we just want justice, period.

>> the weekend of protest, tensions escalating, police responded with armored military style vehicles with full swat gear, using rubber bullets to dispersing crowds. >> we started getting rocks, bricks, thrown at us, then a molotov cocktail went off. we need to calm down and bring some peace to it. >> even some journalists were arrested, some tear gassed including our own al jazeera crew. police many revealed little, at the same time, they released surveillance votes and video shows nieb stealing cigars from

a local fshes -- shows michael brown stealing sieg ars from a local convenience store. another group of people tried to keep them from doing that. >> these people came in tried to loot the stores. don't do that. that's not what it's about. this is a civil rights movement. my name is antoine smith and i came here to stand upper for my rights. >> the department of justice opened up an investigation. >> in ferguson, our investigation will assess the police department's use of force including deadly force. it will analyze stops, searches, and arrests. and it will examine the treatment of individuals detained at ferguson's city jail. >> reporter: but in late november two and a half months after the shooting the mistrust deepened when the brown family and residents finally heard the grand jury's decision. >> they determined that no probable cause exists to return any charge against officer

wilson and returned a no true bill against each of the five indictments. >> riders cut a path of destruction, burning and damaging 75 businesses along the way. business owners were left to pick up the pieces as age are and frustration persisted. >> they told us that they would protect all the business and everything that was around here. >> reporter: and despite the hurt mistrust and turmoil this community has endured, justice in the new year. >> there's nothing wrong with falling, the probably is not getting up.

>> how do you do that? you have to understand that there's a crisis of legitimacy of the country. the cops are not trusted so they have to begin to reach out to their communities. every single time a cop has contact with a civilian, that is an opportunity for trust. everywhere single interaction. you have to explain what you're doing, why you're doing it, you do it respectfully, you tell them the outcome of the stop, whatever it is. you explain yourself, why is that important? because when you explain to people why you're doing something and you've given them an opportunity to be heard they're more likely to trust the outcome so that's how they have to do it. >> are there specific though training programs that you've seen here in new york city that have encompassed all of what you have just talked about and the specifics of telling officers here's how you explain things? >> yes, not just in new york

city. across the country. there are programs called implicit racial bias, so cops understand the implicit bias they have. cops are trained ounderstand sometimes they may fire more rapidly as they see a black face as opposed to a white face. get them to understand that it's in their interest, intrinsic motivation to interact better with the civilian population, because when people goes up their safety goes up. >> part of the trust also involved the decisions by sometimes local police, local prosecutors not to employ a special prosecutor. a lot of dr. them had said if the reaction was coming from a special prosecutor the reacts would have been different. >> there is political

accountability. in a democracy the ultimate check on power is the ballot box but i do think there's another way we could increase the trust of the grand jury process. right now the grand jury process as you know is completely secret. whatever goes on in that grand jury room nobody is allowed to know about it by law. we have to examine whether or not that is necessary in all cases and it's probably not. i think about we were to open up the grand jury process, see some of the testimony if people saw what was going on people would trust it. and we have to make sure that people have to understand what the legal thresholds are that the grand jury is considering. in all of ferguson, i did a lot of shows around ferguson. nobody asked me about the law, the law is incredibly relevant. in order to indict the officer for a murder, you have to show that that officer intended to kill that person and did that without justification. >> that's for manslaughter, they

could have come back with lesser charges, reckless homicide or nej inegligence. >> is it justified? so you have all these layers of legal questions that have to be analyzed. if we opened up the process so people understood that the presentation was fair, both to the deceased and to the cop, it would be more seemingly fair. but the judicial process as well, that's really important. >> richard aborn, presidential of the assistance crime commission in new york city. thanks for coming in, we appreciate it. >> my pleasure. >> inningin pakistan, children h erd two weeks ago when taliban

extremists, stormed a school for pakistanis,ing late yesterday pakistani security forces engaged in an hour long shootout with a man named saddam. >> i'm informing the terrorists of the decision of the nation. your days are numbered. there will be no place to hide on our soil for those who targeted our children and attacked our future. you will get a ruthless response for the pain you have caused this nation by shedding the blood of our innocent children. >> according to one report nearly 7,000 pakistanis are being monitored for ties to militant organizations. in pakistan, afte ashraf --n

afghanistan, ash ha ashraf todai got a visit from members of americamerica's politics. >> 24 hours ago after rebel rocket landed inside the alsedra defoe. victoria gattenby has the story. >> rocked at the al sidra terminal. launched the surprise attack. they fired missiles from speedboats during fierce fighting with guards at the site. libya's oil terminals aring mainly in the east of the country. men have been fighting alongside soldiers from the

internationally recognized government based in tobruk. but libya is under control of two rival governments, engaged in daily fighting. own government was put in place led by omar al hassi. and in november invalidatethe election, citing violations of libya's provisional constitution. rival militias have also formed two loosely affiliated blocks. one in tobruk, and one seen as more religiously being conservative. broadly aligned with the tripoli based government. the current fighting is based around the al sidra oil terminal.

libyan dawn wants to secure it before moving on to other oil ports. caused the country's oil production to fall by a third. it's also put libya's only significant source of revenue under threat. victoria gatenby, al jazeera. sanctuary in a sanctuary, to avoid deportation. as courtney keely reports, local officials are closing his case. >> reporter: parishioners held a nightly vigil for he and his family. at the end of the service, his wife and children would go home. his children are all born in this country and are u.s. citizens. refused to grant limb a stay of execution, so he has to stay behind. jennifer london are interviewed

1980s where churches across the u.s. harbored 14,000 undocumented immigrants. pastor allison harrington says it is the right thing to do now. >> we are people of faith. we are people who have promised to follow the commands ever our faith. these are the propositions that we're not -- the promises that we're not going to break . >> million of undocumented parents from deportation. for francisco to qualify he made it home just before christmas. cowrnlcourtney keely, al jazeer. >> why putin is tankering with the price of vodka. ten years since the indian ocean tsunami. the hardest hit areas and why they're doing now. i

>> can affect and surprise us. >> don't try this at home. >> tech know, where technology meets humanity. tomorrow at 7:30 eastern. only on al jazeera america.

>> there are new reports tonight from ukraine that the latest talks between ukrainian forces and proitio pro-russian rebels e broken down. they were supposed to reinforce the terms of a september ceasefire deal. it is unclear what prompted the breakdown and whether negotiations will resume. in the meantime, both sides have reportedly agreed on an exchange of prisoners. ukraine is handing 225 people, the rebels are releasing 150. the conflict this year has claimed the lives of nearly 5,000 people. admits the conflict, ukraine has said it would like to join nato. now, moscow issued some of the harshest rhetoric of the area.

peter sharp has more now from moscow. >> it's quite interesting really because it gives you an idea of what the president sees as the threats that are facing his country as we move into 2015. and first and foremost, nato has added 12 eastern european countries to its membership and that blue tide really is coming closer and closer to it, and putin and the crim lynn are not happy about this at all. -- kremlin are not happy about this at all. they see this as a real potential threat possibly in the years ahead. so that's his first concern. second concern is more of an international fear. basically, he's very unhappy with the u.s. prompt global strike program, now this is a conventional not nuclear but a

conventional program in which it would enable the u.s. to deliver a conventional strike anywhere in the world within one hour's notice and the kremlin isn't happy for that for obvious reasons. and finally he's talking about the possible unsettling destabilizization in ristabiliz. also warns of possible terror attack. >> peters sharp reporting from moscow. the sanctions on russia has caused the economy to implode. also asked legislators to put a cap on the price of vodka. if vodka becomes too expensive, there is potential for citizens turning to bootleg spirits.

national correspondent of the new york observer joins us. first of all, what do you think of vladimir putin's latest moves, saying, no vacations and by the way we need to put a cap on the price of vodka. what do you think that's about? >> for lawmakers many of whom have ill gotten wealth to have expensive holidays ask not the optics you want in a country that's suffering economically. similarly with the vodka on the one hand, it's not having people drinking things that will make them sick, but new years and russian orthodox holidays. reasonable price of vodka is important. people are buying up products so maybe this will settle this a little bit. that's what the russian president is hoping. >> we see these stories around the globe and there are fears of

the russian economy teetering on the brink. i wonder if you could put in perspective how things are for ordinary russians. >> things are difficult for ordinary russians. but things are always difficult for ordinary russians. that's worth considering. russia under putin's governance has felt difficult economic times. this is a bad time for russia economically. it is not unpress debteprecedene should be cautious thinking this is a massive game changing event. this could reverse itself in theism in new year. >> what does that did to in terms of poa ent -- potent -- not having to worry about the economic impact on his base of support in russia? >> well, peunts always worries and right now -- putin always

worries and that worry pays off. this constantly works on making the opposition weak. whether that's repressinpressine media, making it harder for civil society to organized, limiting freedom of assembly, when you are vulnerable to an economic downturn the opposition structure isn't there. through his authoritarian machinations, mr. putin has bought himself some time. my feeling, he will survive, notwithstanding that. >> more aggressive actions he might have wanted to pursue with ukraine, perhaps there's some domestic pressure that putin might feel not make things any worse? >> that's certainly true. there are however several sides to this. the sanctions are damaging the russian economy and i think we should understand that the policy makers in the obama administration and elsewhere said when these sanctions were

put in place this will have an impact and it will take time. so president obama some secretary of state kerry looks like they were right about that. however it is not the only issue. the global decline in oil is hurting russia very heavily. they are very dependent on a commodities economy. our economy is suffering because the west is out to get us, because the west is making economic war on us. and that is the kind of political red meat that his political base, again in an unfree media environment, will school. so while the economic -- the sanctions are having an economic impact they are also in an odd way giving president putin some wiggle room. now a completely rational actor might say, therefore we are going to back up on some of our

international ambitions. however, one way mr. putin has put the nationalist cat out of the bag in the last months, maybe we're wrong on eastern ukraine, maybe we shouldn't have such an aggressive policy, it's hard to put that toothpaste back in the tube as it were. maybe prution forces, russian -- backed forces will ease out of eastern ukraine, i don't think we'll see that either. >> thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> ten years, after a quarter million people lost their lives. plus, refugee crisis, why lebanese officials are turning people away at the syrian border.

>> hello everybody, this is al jazeera america, i'm chs in newd schuster in new york.

been wiped out. the tsunami affected 14 countries and stretched thousands of miles. knowledge aal jazeera's tarek bs more. >> hit 9:00 in the morning, when the indian tectonic plate was forced underneath the burma plate, with a magnitude of 9, this is the third largest earthquake ever recorded, the estimate of 23 thousand hiroshima type bombs. u.s. geological survey shows how the tsunami rose up, hitting coastal areas in indonesia and thailand then traveling thousands of miles over the indian ocean. ache province in indonesia, number of people killed here is estimated to be over 160,000,

business is better living up to the slogan that the humanitarian community were using at the time of the tsunami, they said they wanted to build back better. and this place which was a kind of sleepy fishing village back then is now a fully formed commercial proposition. it is very busy, many tourists are coming here. in that sense, things are better than the tsunami but there are many painful individual stories. it was an event that irrevocably changed lives right around the world. >> malaysia also lost people during the tsunami ten years ago. tonight parts of that country have been hit hard by flooding. at least five people have died and 120,000 residents have been forced from their homes. the prime minister is under fire, for golfing with president

enforced stricter l policies. >> arbitrary policies by general security agency in charge of the borders and ironically letting in those who looked like they were just coming for the weekend, not desperate or humanitarian cases. >> it is hard to independently confirm this when we are denied access to the immigration office. syrians who do cross are scared to speak openly but the discriminatory treatment, this family wanted to go to syria for a visit but if they did the lebanese authorities told them they would never be able to come back. so they didn't go. officials say a person who goes back and forth won't be considered a displaced person. a local official justified these measures particularly after some syrians were involved in attacks and boaments i bombings in leba.

but north korea denied responsibility. china, north korea's only major ally is now urging pyongyang to take the film's release calmly. >> appropriately deal with the issue. >> skirt experts say there's now more cyber attacks and that the attitudes of cyber-criminals are changing. they say hackers are becoming bolder spurred on by a sense of immunity hidden by computers across the gold. consumers are becoming -- the globe. consumers are becoming immune to their astacks. >> first of all we're getting word that anonymous is claiming responsibility for hack and getting 13,000 passwords from amazon and walmart. what do you think of it? >> that's just happened.

to change how they were goods to release "the interview," whether that was north korea, a group affiliated with north korea osh an inside job, your take? >> in my mind, it's most definitely an inside job. >> how come? >> sony's knowledge information, 10100 terabytes of data was stolen, that's a huge amount. >> maybe they realized somebody on the inside was disgruntled and took advantage of that. >> that's the only possible connection. whether it was guardians of peace or somebody in north korea possibly. the only possibility is north korea had an inside man. but i doubt that that's the case.

>> there's been a lot of criticism for sony for having better security. if they hadth had better security could they have prevented this? >> no, i don't think so. someone from the ip department, someone who has wide ranging access across many servers because passwords were stolen, e-mails were stolen, newly released movies were stolen. none of this is stored in the same place. it's stored across many different servers at each server would require a separate hack. >> for everybody who's looking at this and maybe they haven't are -- maybe they have an account at amazon or walmart, is this preventive measure to are change your password? >> amazon just released a ton of passwords, if you want to protect yourself you do want to change your password as soon as possible.
