11:10 pm
don't get up. >> richard aborn, we asked him how a community like ferguson can rebuild trust between residents and the police. >> you have to understand that there is a crisis of legitimacy of the community, every single time a cop has contact with a civilian that's an opportunity to build trust. it shouldn't just be community policing programs. every single interaction. so what do you do? you have to make sure that when you interact with someone you explain to them what you're doing, why you're doing it, you do it respectfully, you tell the person the reason why they're stopped, you tell them to move on their way, you're arresting them. if you explain, and you give them an opportunity to be heard they're more likely to trust outcome. that's how you have to do it. >> are there certainly programs
11:11 pm
you have seen here in new york city that has encompassed on how you explain things? >> not just in new york city, across the city. there are training programs that give out implicit racial bias. so officers understand the bias, shoot don't shoot scenario, cops come to understand they might shoot more rapidly when they see a black face as opposed to a white face. get them to understand that. it is in their interest to interact better with the civilian population, their safety action goes up because people feel less threatened and particularly when people trust them their safety goes up. >> part of the trust has also involved the decisions by sometimes local police, local prosecutors not to appoint a special prosecutor. even if the outcome had been the same if it had come from a
11:12 pm
special produce curiosity, the reaction would be different. how much responsibility rests on are prosecutors? >> it should a lot. 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 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 truly necessary in all cases. i think not. if we were to open up the grand jury process, allow people to read the records, see the testimony, if people saw what was going on people would trust it and we also have to understand what people know the legal threshold are. thresholthresholds are. in orde,
11:13 pm
the grand jury has to find that that was done without legal justification. >> recognizeless are disregard of all the acts around you, when you engage in conduct when you know is likely to cause injury and is it justified? if we opened up the process so people understood that the presence was fair to both the deceased and to the cop we would have a better level of trust. which comes back to the original question. we want the citizens to understand the process, that's very important. >> richard, thanks so much for coming in, we appreciate it. >> my pleasure. >> $1 million, not obviously a box office record breaker, but

because "the interview" wasn't going to be opened up in many theaters a week ago. a figure studios consider impressive. sony's problems continue today, day after christmas. play station gamers and microsoft's x box. that's right, santa may have delivered a new video game platform to you and your friends but hackers are fiddling with the results. kim vanel reports. >> many found that while trying to connect to play online, they hit a wall. sony's play station and microsoft's x box live networks both apparently the target of a cyber attack. a group of hackers calling themselves lizard squad say they're the ones to blame.
11:15 pm
a quick scroll of their twitter page shows them riveeling in attention. a concern for a multibillion dollar industry. many high end systems like the play stations you cost more to manufacture than they're sold for. the expectation that profits will be made with the sale of games. the gaming companies have a lot to lose when security is breached and gamers are put off. >> hackers are very -- they have a lot of techniques they are going to use or can use and you don't know where the attack is always coming from. so that's part of the problem. so it's very difficult to defend you against. >> the attack comes at a sensitive time with movie goers across the u.s. lining up for the release of "the interview," a comedy about the plod to kill

anonymous. >> the frequency of these types of attacks is just growing exponentially. it's incredible. change your password. >> what is it about the christmas holiday? >> one of the reasons is that sony and play station just released a lot of games. a lot of kids were opening up their gifts. they wanted to plug in and play these games. if you want to annoy as many people as possible you do it during the christmas season. >> what about the lizard squad? what's their method of operation? >> they say they would do it, they did do it, and they did annoy a lot of gamers, yes. >> now the lizard squad is different from whoever might have been responsible for the attack on sony, correct?
11:18 pm
>> it's a different group, yes. >> the huge debate about who changed the movie and whether that was the result of north korea or a group affiliated with north korea or whether this was primarily an inside job, your take? >> in my mind it's most definitely an inside job. >> how come? >> well, if we go by information that sony has released, 100 terabytes of data has been stolen. you could steal 100 terabytes over the wire but it's going to take a long time. it's much easier to bring in a hard drive, copy the data and walk out with it. >> is it possible that north korea had help, it discovered someone on the inside, or someone was disgruntled and took advantage of that? >> that's the only possibility
11:19 pm
is that north korea had an inside man. but i doubt that that's the case. >> and there's been a lot of criticism for sony for not having better security. if they had better security could they still have prevented this? >> no, i don't think so. if it was an inside person it was someone from the i.t. department. someone who has a wide ranging access across many servers because passwords were stolen. e-mails were stolen. new released -- newly released movies were stolen. none of this is stored in the same place. it's stored across many different servers, and each server would require a separate hack. >> for everybody who's looking for this, maybe they have an account at amazon or walmart or they're a sony customer and terrified about next year, is it as simple as that a new password? >> it's a preventive measure, if you want to protect yourself you
11:20 pm
do want to change your password as soon as possible. and other than that, you know there's not a hell of a lot we can do. >> well, that's some optimism there. dino doge, good to have you. a father was able to spend christmas with his family after spending 94 days inside a church about he took sanctuary night the sanctuary. but they are closing his case. >> parishioners held a nightly vij imfor francisco perez cord virginia. arcordoba and his family.

11:25 pm
>> in mexico city the parents of 43 missing students have taken to the streets in protest, three months have gone by since the students disappeared, and there are now reports that corrupt politicians may have facilitated the situation. >> three long months after 43 students were taken by the police in the state of guerrero and handed over to drug traffickers that the mexican authorities have been unable to present the parents with compactly what happened to them. behind me you can see yet another march, the fourth march apparent, the fourth march happened today, and they want to
11:26 pm
know what's happened to their children. about a thousand people accompanied them and it's because people are tired of violence here in mexico city. people are not strangers to criminal acts. it touches everybody here but this particular case has been a way that people have been able to open up to talking about what's happened to the institutionalization in the country, to force answer he from the government and to force information to come out about their children and they say that they're not going to rest until they find out more. and actually find out who was responsible. >> that was david mercer reporting from mexico city. talks that were supposed to reinforce a ceasefire campaign have broken down in eastern ukraine. rebels are releasing as many as

11:31 pm
least two years after working at jimmy john's. now the new york attorney general's vegginattorneygeneralg it razes serious concerns. christof putzel reports. >> this is the jimmy john's blt. nothing that is a mystery unless you are jimmy john's. this is a trade secret considered by them to be protected at all cost. for kaitlin and emily, that job prospect has placed a lock on their future at all costs. hourly pay amounts to less than minimum wage. until recently, kaitlin 2003 also worked at a local jimmy john's. we met them at a local restaurant. >> we wouldn't be able to work here. end of discussion. they have a list of sandwiches. >> kaitlin's talking about this.
11:32 pm
an agreement which all jimmy john's workers must sign. for two years it forbids former employees from work at a business that sells sandwiches. >> you're not allowed to work here. >> yes, so waiting tables is pretty much out of the question i guess. >> and is in a place you'd like to work? >> yes, i'm sure people would tip well here. >> under the jimmy john's agreement kaitlin and emily can't work for any competing food establishment in any capacity. not just employee, but position owner, partner, investor, or advisor. anywhere there is red, they can't work for a competing business. >> i can't work at a gas station. i can't work in a mom and pop shop. i can't work at subway, penn
11:33 pm
rahpanera,anything that became s sandwiches. >> jimmy john's declined our request for an on camera interview. we followed up, with an e-mail asking why their employees have to sign these agreements. they declined that as well. >> i want to leave and want to do something different but scared to leave. i don't know if i'll be able to find anything else. we're being treated like we're property of the company essentially like we can only work there and all of the experience that we have there is useless anywhere else. you're just a tool for them. >> christof putzel. al jazeera, are rlg washington. >> attorney areva martin joins us. what is the new york attorney general going to to glx he's
11:34 pm
going to look david how reasonable these clauses are. you are correct that new york does allow for noncompete clauses but the question is, are those clauses reasonable? you are looking at former employees who can't go work in other establishments, they can't drive a vehicle, can't do anything and those activities aren't even related to the activities they were engaged in for jimmy john's. so it seems like an incredibly overle broad cause for local employees to be forced to sign. >> i agree with you, it is overly broad. but it is almost like the equivalent of having like a moist sandwich bread and saying after you have eaten it, it's moist so i don't like it. these employees signed the contract, isn't the responsibility for them before they sign to complain? >> well, think about the bargaining yobargaining power. you have a low level employee
11:35 pm
who is making minimum wage or less. typically when you have these agreements you are dealing with higher level executives, with specialized training, they can go in and negotiate and say okay i won't work for two years for a competitor but in exchange you are going to give me perks, more benefits. but these employees don't have anything to negotiate with and that's problematic david. >> what was jimmy john's thinking to begin with? was this simply eliminating the possibility of competition at this very low level? >> i think we can't conclude anything but that. but they want to ensure that employees who work there are prohibited from working in other environments. the are marketplace doesn't work that way. we want a marketplace full of this dynamic, people able to work. if these people aren't able to work, they are required to have
11:36 pm
benefits, and i don't think courts are going to look favorably upon those types of noncompete agreements. >> could it come down to what the state law says? i can imagine a lawyer for jimmy john's saying, hey, you know, our sandwiches have the special secret sauce and the employees have the special training and we can't afford for them to leave. >> i think that would make more sense if they couldn't go use that skill set of making those sandwiches in another environment. but i don't think they're going to convince these courts that making a blt sandwich is going to relate to being a waitress in a restaurant. there is not a nexus there. yes there are going to be creative lawyers representing jimmy john's but i think they're going to have a very, very difficult time convincing courts that this is fair and reasonable. >> as far as trying to prevent
11:37 pm
this in the future. rather than relying on state toirnattorneys general, is it rt to clos the loophole? >> i think we'll see organization he like the aclu doing just that speaking up and that state legislators need to step in and fill the void. we don't want lawsuits in courts for low level employees, employees who don't have access to trade crest or proprietary information, to seek attorneys and fight these clauses. i think there's activity from a legislative standpoint around these cases. >> reaivet, thanareva martin, tr coming on. >> you're welcome david ed. >> love interests and spouses
