experience. isn't that ironic - "he was free"... i said "he was 'free' to have all that experience". my father liked it. this is al jazeera america. live from new york city i'm david schuster. with a look at today's stories. hackers from i.s.i.l. took control of the military website today. listing addresses of military commanders. hunt continues for the woman who helped the man carry out last week's attacks. police shot and killed a homeless camper might face

murder charges. their actions sparked protests and a federal investigation. if you are on social media you are familiar with a problem a twitter feed or youtube channel gets hacked and you see messages that are out of character. few people were mutual mused at the amused. jamie, what can you tell us about this incident ? >> well, the u.s. central command has confirmed that they had to shut down both their twitter feed and their youtube channel after it was compromised. if you logged on to the u.s. ntral command youtube channel

where they usually post videos of things like air strikes against i.s.i.l. you saw m stead what appeared to be an i.s.i.l. recruiting style video. by these people who purported to support the i.s.i.l. fighters in iraq. on their twitter feed, instead of the usual kind of statements about the coalition support for the u.s. led war in iraq and syria there were theses there thing statements, american soldiers we are coming watch your back, we're already here we are in your pcs your wives and your children we know all about. it is reportedly from a group called the cyber-caliphate creating a cyber-jihad. the united states says it is taking this seriously but press secretary josh earnest says this

is not a real breach other than of their social media sites. >> significant difference between what is a large data breach and the hacking of a twitter account. so we're still examining and investigating the extent of this incident. >> now there was at one point they were also posted on the twitter site when looked to be a phone directory of some u.s. military personnel and a personal picture of some troops in an office. but at first blush u.s. officials say it doesn't appear to be any classified information posted. this appears to be more of an embarrassing propaganda coup rather than a serious breach of national security. david. >> you covered the pentagon for a long time. how difficult would it be for hackers to get into the more classified sites at the pentagon and are there fears of a bigger hack on that kind of data?

>> it's much more difficult to get into the pentagon secure internet site. there's much more -- you know when the pentagon uses these social media sites in order to communicate with the public, they are essentially using the sites you and i would use. they are limited on the kind of cyber-security they could have there but it's a much different prospect getting into the secure pentagon system. >> jamie mcintire, thank thank you. ing even before this was confirmed president obama was talking about making the cyber world safer. he proposed a cyber bull of rights. efforts to keep kids safe as well. >> today we're proposing the students digital privacy act. -- student digital privacy act data collected should be for

educational purposes not to market to our children. we want to prevent companies from selling data to third appeared other thanparties other than education. >> free access to credit scores. french police say up to 6 sell members may be at large -- cell members may be at large. as france increases its security. the country's interior minister announced today that 10,000 soldiers and police officers are being deployed, at jewish schools and synagogues to deter more attacks. al jazeera's recovery challengeal jazeera's rory challenge has more. >> one of hundreds of places the interior prints feels it minister feels it is

vulnerable. >> 770 schools and places of worship have been identified by security services and are being protected this morning. this representatives represents a significant amount of protection for these jewish places of worship in france. >> reporter: and an announcement from the defense minister that 10,000 troops are being deployed across the country. >> security of sensitive parts of the country because of the threats to our nation. that's why we have agreed to the chief of staff of the armed forces to moibled 10,000 men who -- mobilize 10,000 men. >> clearly the government feels a threat remains who edited a film of amedy councilmember whether he or she is dangerous. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has visited the

supermarkets whering coulibaly and four of his victims died. vast demonstration have become an attraction in the days since. the newspapers bought have just one story. a sentiment is being expressed again and again here in frarns at thefranceat the moment. this is a country united in liberty. but the events of the last week also mean that it's a country that needs to learn lessons and a more reflective tone is struck on the inside pages of le figero. some worry nicholas anan spent time as a hostage of i.s.i.l. in syria. >> when he hear about events on

terrorism, we know what this means. these people have tried to kill our freedom. it would be very worrying that our own politicians our own laws and our own police now complete the job. >> reporter: balancing freedom and security is an age-old problem for democracies and one france is being foshtsed to forced to struggle with right now. rory challenge, al jazeera paris. >> turkish officials say the security camera video from an istanbul airport shows hayet boumddiene the partner ever amedy coulibaly. the person killed following

taking prisoners at a jewish supermarket on friday. is. earlier, the mushes to put in place to prevent an attack and whether tougher border patrols are needed to prevent attacks like the one in paris. >> what did happen in france is not directly linked to the crisis in syria and iraq. it is more a previous generation of idea jihadists it's a problem of getting access to military weapons. and it's a problem ever of the overall ideology. >> hakim amaslari also has a story in today's wall street journal about the two kouachi brothers who were attending a

yemeni school. thank you for being with us. i wonder if you could tell us a little bit more about the information you had in your piece today. >> it's surprising and even the u.s. the u.k. did not know of this that omar the christmas bomber and said were roommates in 2009. they lived across the hall from each other and they lived there for a couple of weeks. they knew each other very well. and that was apparently the link that made said do what he did in paris from his experience and recruitment from omar and the links that he gave said most likely. >> how widespread is the training effort in yemen of people in the west whether it's europe or the united states, how many people go through yemen and receive this kind of training? >> i'll be honest with you. it has dramatically decreased over the last year or so because a number of the aqap training

camps have been closed down by the government or by the houthi shiite fighters who raided a lot of al qaeda strong holds and training camps. it has decreased but 2011, 2012 there were hundreds of people being trained there. the problem is the yemeni dwoft was not aware of any -- government was not aware of any of the red flagged people who came to yemen. yemen is blaming the western countries for not giving them the right intelligence to put surveillance on certain foreigners who come to yemen who are on u.s. or european terror watch list. if yemen was aware of these suspects, they could have had surveillance on them which indeed would have avoided or prevented many of the terror attacks that took place in the west. >> hakim there is a big question in the west about when the

kouachi brothers and others became radicalized i use that to describe how they are being described by government officials. but is there any indication they were radicalized once they got to yemen or that way before they arrived? >> as of now there is no evidence that proves either way. but what we do know that while said was in yemen he did nrm himself in grammar courses. he was not in sanaa for those months would have mokely been the months where he traveled up north to yemen near the borders of saudi arabia and attended training camps with quooch. aqap. >> what's so interesting he lived in a dormitory across the hall from an algerian, the so-called christmas bomber? >> yes, that is. and this is what angered and

sthokd yemenishock the yemeni government. they were not given awareness of not either oem or said. they were friends and lived next to each other for many weeks. so yemen is blaming right now its western allies, is it the lack of trust that they did not have to give yemen this intelligence information or was it something else but yemen knew that it did have this information they could have easily prevented either the christmas bomb, the attack plot or the french attack that killed eight innocent people. >> a political analyst and chief of the yemen post, hakim thank you for being with us. >> you're welcome david. rally in germany organized by pegida, a movement gaining momentum in germany in what it claims as a rise of islam in the

west. german officials urged people not to attend these demonstrations. neave barker, tell us about this situation and why they continued to hold the marches. >> well, pegida is an organization formed only last october in dresden. and has continued to be the focus of renewed demonstrations that happened roughly every monday. last monday around 18,000 pegida supporters took to the streets of dresden and earlier a couple of hours ago we saw the largest crowds yet. organizers said as many as 40,000 people took to the streets. they also face counter-protests from many hundreds of people and there were scenes of running battles between those counter-protesters and the police as they tried the avoid

both of those groups running face to face. pegida has focused its attention on what it believes to be the increased islamization of europe. it has focused largely on what it sees as the influx of asylum seekers into the country. something that many pegida supporters believer are eroding traditional german values. they've also become something of an umbrella organization for a awhole spectrum ever right wing views and opinions. many are against the german government, they believe is too soft when i.t. comes to immigration and what these people want is for immediate political changes to be implemented. their views taken into consideration. >> neave was this a rally or demonstration that had been scheduled before the paris attacks or something that came in reaction to them? >> no, it certainly hasn't come in reaction to them.

these rallies have been taking place almost weekly since october. excuse the wind there, if you can still hear me. but what we have seen in the wake of the paris attacks is perhaps a renewed impetus from pegida who feel in some way that those attacks in some way verify their concerns that islam is not compatible with the german traditional way of life. and that's something the german government remain firmly against the german government in berlin says they will continue to welcome those in need from syria or iraq so long as that need continues. >> neave barker on a windy night in dresden, thank you for the report. two in the united -- two police

officers will face can charges in the united states for the death of a homeless man. heidi zhou-castro how could this play differently than the recent investigations into police around the country? >> david there is one big difference here. that is, no grand jury is involved. now due to a twist in new mexico's law a d.a. can seek charges going through a judge rather than a grand jury. it is notable that probable cause against these two officers have not been established in this case, there is no warrant out for their arrest. and whether this case progresses is dependent on the judge who will hold a probable cause hearing later on. this was captured on police helmet camera and we warn you it is graphic. james boyd who is 36 years old homeless white mentally ill and he is getting in a four hour long verbal standoff with police officers who are trying to

arrest him for illegal camping. now as the video shows the police say he was threatening a canine officer with knives and at that moment shoot three rounds into boyd's back killing him. the two officers are facing these preliminary murder charges. sandy's attorney addressed those charges today. >> at the time of this shooting, keith sandy was responsible for protecting the apd dog handler on that mountain. mr. boyd who was clearly mentally unstable, unpredictable and dangerously close to a defenseless officer while he was wielding two knives. he took a step with these two knives towards that apd dog handler. keith perceived and rightfully so this as a threat the

officer's life. >> now the district attorney says she believed there is probable cause for murder charges. however, the legal standard has not been met. again, it will be up to the judge to decide whether this case progresses or is thrown out. >> heidi, is the albuquerque police taking any steps to keep these incidents from happening again? >> indeed many force steps due to the community outcry following boyd's killing as well as a department of justice investigation in april. widespread pattern of excessive force on this police department in violation of the constitution. 27 people have been killed by albuquerque police since 2010, many more than of cities of comparable size. boyd's incident is the only one that has elicited responses

currently in the approval process david. >> heidi zhou-castro in dallas, heidi, thank you. an inspector general has found flaws in the disciplinary procedure used against officers in excessive force. either not disciplined for using a choke hold or a minimal like loss of vacation time. the inspector general did not examine the case of eric garner who died after being placed in a choke hold. many of the city city of detroit's you in workers were not involved in the process live in the motor city next. we'll return to latte the island nation where a lot of residents are still struggling to recover. recover.

is. >> north american international auto show is underway in detroit. one of the world's biggest car shows and gives auto make rs the chance to show off their newest models. chevrolet bolt, not to be confused with the volt. introduced a couple of years ago. bisi onile-ere, what are some things that workers are asking for? >> reporter: david, there are a number of issues. long time auto workers want to see an increase in pay and others want to see better benefits. but one of the biggest issues will be the two treer pay tier pay scale. the ua wants to uaw wants to see that

eliminated. sales were plunging and competition among foreign rival was high. plants were -- rivals of rivals was high. unprecedented concessions pap. >> do you think you deserve to be paid more? >> absolutely. there should never be a divide. >> dora sharkey sharkey sharkey rodriguez is a ought worker. >> made sure we had a house to live in, it was fabulous. >> two tier wage system, when she started to work for ford, she made $14 an hour.

workers like her father earned $22 an hour. >> we're living paycheck to paycheck. there's a lot of frustration in the workforce our uaw workers it's difficult. >> her reality is farring from when the days of working for auto he manufacturers was enough to support a family. >> they have to work harder to maintain their position. >> the two tier pay scale has paved the way for detroit's big three to earn billions of dollars in profits and hire thousands of workers but the uaw wants to eliminate the pay structure and bridge the gap. the issue is expected to drive this summer's labor negotiations. >> the uaw was sort of founded on this ideal and principle of equal pay for equal work. and under a two tier wage structure you simply don't have that. >> brent snavley is an auto reporter

from the detroit free press. >> there will be push back from the auto workers that have allowed them to become competitive again. >> sharkey rodriguez says an auto worker's strike is a possibilities. >> these companies need to start to understand that we've given back. it is time to come full circle. >> reporter: the big three say they are open to negotiating a fair and competitive labor agreement but it may require some sacrifice. this past fall, workers at an auto parts plant in indiana they approved a contract that partially ends the two-tier pay scale for some workers. for the uaw it was a huge victory, and some here believe that it is an indication of what could come next this summer. back to you. >> bisi onile-ere bisi, thank

you. the university has reinstated the fraternity at the center of the rolling stone story. cannot find any basis to confirm. ifyphi kappa psi. rolling stone has apologized for the article. another day of big losses on wall street as crude oil fell to just over $46 a barrel. the dow is down about 97 points. the s&p 500 fell about 17 and the nasdaq lost 39 points. there's been an apology from the white house after president obama did not attend the huge rally in support of paris. we'll get into the politics of this coming up. g up.

>> french police are looking for as many as six members of a terror cell that may have been involved in the attacks in paris last week. those attacks left 17 people and three gunmen dead. france's increasing security in wake of those attacks 10,000 police officers and soldiers will be mobilized in places like jewish schools and synagogues. yvonne ndege what do we know? >> this new development is coming from anonymous police officers. basically they said not much more than you have already explained which is they believe there are two six potential terror individuals or potential terrorists if you like, still at large, who belong to a cell

operating here. and that the vehicle that belongs to or is registered to hayet boumddiene, she is the common law wife or girl friend of amedy coulibaly a vehicle registered to her has pen seen moving. no details whether that vehicle was seen moving in paris or any other part of france. now if this information is accurate it will serve to reinforce, to bolster public support for a decision by the french government to deploy 10,000 military personnel across the country. you might remember that on friday, francois hollande says france does remain a target for extremists. we are trying to get verification and confirmation of these new lines coming out about six potential terrorists still

being at large. >> and yvonne, given the reports about the six terrorists and the warnings of french being targets, what's the mood like in pairs today? >> as i say huge support for a sense of normality was returning, you could see people wanting life to go back to normal. the working week starting. people going to work, shopping malls open, tourists sites bustling with people. you know paris is a very famous city and attracts millions of tourists every year. but even that in some place he it was difficult to tell that -- places it was difficult to tell that something had happened. there is still fear. people are kind of concerned still a little bit worried still a little bit on edge. wondering whether there will be

more violence or whether these were just very extreme but isolated events and nothing like this will happen again in france. >> yvonne ndege reporting from paris, thank you. not criticized for having a high profile appearance, the white house admit it should have sent someone else to the event. >> i think it's fair to say that we should have sent someone with a higher profile to be there. that said, there is no doubt that the american people and this administration stand four square behind our allies in france as they face down this threat. >> dozens of world leaders were among the more than 1 million people who marched in paris yesterday. the u.s. ambassador to france was the highest ranking u.s. representative. attorney general eric holder was in paris on sunday but he did not attend this event. let's bring in al jazeera

political correspondent michael shore. what do you think the white house being quick to admit yes they should have sent somebody beyond the ambassador. >> part of me says it's much ado about nothing much of me saying, in the sheepish way josh earnest was saying, yeah, we should have had somebody there. both sides could be argued and argued well. >> there's the picture of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu holding arms, said he would not to attend, he had been asked by the french minister not to where it was felt he would use this to bolster his own standing. then he found his deputy ministers were going and he changed his mind and said yes i am going to go and that prompted

mahmoud abbas to go as well. toss public -- does public appearance play a huge part in whether these figures attend? >> again there are a couple of things to keep in mind and this is off the top of my head, i don't remember seeing a u.s. president marching in protest or solidarity here or there. i don't remember lbj, i don't remember kennedy. marching is not something u.s. presidents do. had vice president biden or secretary of state kerry that would have softened it. merkel gently leaning against el hollande with whom she has had

issues. fighting side by side islamic rebels in their own country with france. there was an appropriateness who was there and i don't think it takes anything away. when the march is over the united states is still there and i think that's implicit. >> i got to ask you the big political news in the united states. last friday to a group of donors mitt romney, somewhat of a change of heart that he is now exploring and wants all of his donors and everybody to tell their friends that he's considering it. what do you make of romney's change of heart? >> i make a lot of the fact that you don't think chris christie going to the packers game was the big news. >> that'll that will be next. go ahead. >> we'll get to it. that's curious thing. romney told supporters you can tell i'm thinking about it. they are cut from the same cloth that the donors and the supporters they are going to go after are largely the same. it is going to be a real

difficult time for romney to convince republicans if he were to run that they should write checks to him rather than governor bush. it worked sometimes with him ultimately getting the nomination but won't work that easily this time. >> does that make a life a lot more difficult for say kasick in ohio or chris christie as you mentioned he was at that packers game wearing his red sweater and that didn't seem to help him or the dallas cowboys. >> the lucky sweater didn't work yesterday. doesn't make him more difficult the establishment candidates, chris christie, in that he's a known quality he appeals to some moderates. john kasick last been able to bridge divides has done so in

ohio. i think it makes it easier for a rand paul to carve out their space. but when you talk about jeb and mitt, mitt romney is going to find it lard to claim any ground already staked out by jeb bush. >> then the damage to chris christie by that red sweater he wore a week ago he wore the same red sweater and the cowboys lose to the packers in green bay and there's paul ryan tweet-shaving chris christie saying maybe you need ohug now. >> that was pretty funny actually, i kind of liked that. the damage is not to chris christie to the sweater. i woish more for the sweater. you know i think sports really, you know, it's fun to talk about and it's a fun thing to make fun of someone for.

i don't think that ever has hurt anyone ever running for office. you'll remember hillary clinton saying what a lifelong yankees fan she was i don't think those allegiances go too far. >> michael shore, al jazeera's political contributor thanks as always. there's been a break in the investigation of airasia flight 8301. black boxes data recorders could reveal why the play-by-play plane went down. lisa stark has the latest from washington. >> david it's the flight data recorder that has been buld from the bottom of the java sea about 100 feet underwater. this box registers hundreds of parameters on the airplane. it will be very critical in

determination what went wrong on this flight from indonesia to singapore. 162 people on board this plane when it vanished about halfway into that flight. the pilots we know had encountered some very stormy weather. they had asked for a change in altitude and it was about four minutes after that, that the plane vanished from radar. weather is likely to have been a factor in this accident but not likely to have been the only factor. so the black boxes hopefully will tell investigators what else was going on. the other black box the cockpit voice recorder it still underwater apparently it's buried under some very heavy debris possibly the wing. divers say they will hope to raise that using air bags. they are still trying to pinpoint the location of the fuselage. they believe that most of those on board the bodies of most of those on board will be found in that part of the wreckage.

so far only about 48 bodies recovered. david. >> lisa stark reporting from washington. the united states supreme court said today it will not hear a same sex marriage case brought by gay couples in louisiana. the couples want their marriage ban reversed. the state supreme court will need to reverse the ban. decisions in ohio kentucky and tennessee are still pending. law americas are coming to the defense of general david petraeus as the u.s. justice department weighs criminal charges against him. they say he should not face criminal charges leaking secrets to his mistress. >> the u.s. justice department weighing charges against general david petraeus for being funnel

funneling secrets to his then mistress paula broadwell. >> i don't want to comment about an ongoing matter. >> law make rs like senator dianne feinstein are voicing their support for the ex-military leader. >> this man has undergone enough. >> they say he made a mistake whether he had an affair with his biographer. >> it's done, over, and he's retired. he's lost his job. i mean, how much does government want? >> i still reference back to the president's remarks when he announced general petraeus's resignation when he said this did not reach a level of putting national security in jeopardy. and i think the statute of the law says it has to reach that

for there to be a prosecution. i'll let the fbi and the justice department work through this. >> isn't interested in a plea deal. if petraeus were to be charged and convicted the form he army general could go to prison. libby casey, al jazeera washington. >> u.s. secretary of state john kerry made a surprise visit to pakistan today. he's pressuring the government to crack down on violent groups. he met with prime minister nooz noaz sharif. schools are open today for the first time in pakistan since that attack almost a month ago. parents and students are confronting fears of future strikes and officials are facing the challenge of securing schools across the country.

kamal hyder has the story. >> the students are back, the mood is defiant. they say they want to go back to school no matter what the risk. but the apprehensions are also high parents are concerned about the security of their children. now while the military institutions will have top-notch security, private institutions will have to beef up their perimeter security. there will be demands to put razor wire, metal detectors and all the official situation which is not going to be conducive for education in this country. this is a country in the state of war and the government it appears does not have any plan to effectively stop these attacks from happening again. nor in a position to deliver and of course the people of pakistan particularly the

parents, want security for their children so that they can go to their schools without any fear. and many people are afraid about the future of education in this country. >> it's taken three months but the new president of the afghanistan hazafghanistan has finally unveiled the candidates for his cabinet. jennifer glasse last the story. >> three months to see what the new unity government would look like. presidents ashraf ghani and his prime minister, abdalla abdalla these ministers come from a cross section of afghanistan and across the country. they include three women in the cabinet. none of them have been ministers before and that's what ashraf ghani has promised, that we

would see new faces. the head of the army as well as head of the high peace council. these candidates will be vetted by parliament very closely. a new report released on the off and on this pays for afghanistan, police, coming from the inspector general of the united states who looks at afghanistan funds. the report saying there is a wide scope for corruption in the police fund. $300 million a year given to afghanistan by the united states. it says after nine years that fund still doesn't have an electronic payroll system, that there are still about twice as many afghan police i.d.s issue as there are policemen. but there there is a lot of potential for corruption in this fund. that a ghost policeman could be paid and that afghan police

chiefs could benefit from this because some of the funds are paid out in cash. now the united nations development program which administers this fund disputes the fact that 20% of afghan policemen are in jeopardy of not getting some or all of their paycheck but the united nations admits there are problems with this fund that pays the afghan policemen. and it is a contentious point with the afghan government. president ashraf ghani has asked the afghan government and ministry to get the afghan officials fully in charge of this money by sometime next summer, in the next six months. this report highlighting the kind of challenges that the afghan government faces. still, the infrastructure not terribly solidly together to administer this kind of money according to some in the international community but still the afghan president would like to see his government in charge of as much of this

international money as possible. >> jennifer glasse in kabul afghanistan. in haiti five years after the devastating earthquake, still many people not able to pay their rent. what's next for residents. residents.

>> cuba has cleared the final hurdle to establishing diplomatic relations with the united states. the administration said today cuba completed the release of 53 public utility prisoners. the release was part of the deal washington made with havana and precursor with the united states going ahead to lift embargoes. to haiti that country is marking the anniversary of the fifth anniversary of the devastating earthquake. after the quake the world ruched to haiti's aid -- rushed to haiti with emergency aid.

gabriel elizondo, how is the prospect of getting back on its feet? >> good day to you david. port-au-prince was a capital city of a country in collapse. but five years later its getting back to some sense of normalcy. the government says with the international community one of their big accomplishments is getting 1.4 million haitian children back in school. they've also said that they've taken a lot of people off the streets that were homeless, there were 1.4 million homeless after the earthquake as well. but as we've been driving around for the past week talking to people and getting a sense for where this country is today housing is really one of the key challenges that haitians still face.

>> when the ground shook violently, the ground shook and rubble fell around them. they escaped with their lives but not all their limbs. he worked as a carp enteren ter carpenter but hasn't been able to work since. despite the millions invested to alleviate the suffering of those who had nothing this camp has no electricity no proper toilets or showers. >> translator: our life has become more miserable here, despite all the money that was given for recovery, we haven't benefited. even public buses don't stop for us because they know we can't afford to pay. >> reporter: gilbert and others have heard promise he of long term housing many times but five years after the earthquake and three years of living here and they're still waiting. the conditions are not getting any better. in fact they're deteriorating.

>> even children have to fetch water outside the camp using any means possible to get it home. according to u.n. statistics today there are 79,000 people still living in tents and temporary shelters in haiti, as a result of the earthquake but that's down from 1.5 million right after the tragedy. >> the key is the fact that we have been able to reduce this displacement chapter that is part now of haiti's history. >> reporter: but there are more than 100,000 more people who don't show up in official statistics occupying makeshift homes in slums like this one. many received a year of humanitarian aid to represent an apartment and get out of tent cities but that aid has since run out. >> translator: instead of taking the opportunity to solve the housing problem the aid organizations chose to pay short term rent. and after one year, the people couldn't afford to pay the rent

on their own because they had no jobs so they end up in the slums. >> back in the camp the most vulnerable are still waiting for their chance to a proper place to live and hoping they are not forgotten but feeling like they already have been. this is exactly the moment right now at about 4:53 p.m. when the earthquake hit five years ago. it was a devastating earthquake as we all know. it was the biggest natural disaster in this region in nearly 200 years. over 230,000 people lost their lives in a matter of seconds. the entire capital city where i am now pretty much collapsed including the presidential palace which still hasn't been rebuilt and this is the moment right now when it actually happened. right now in another part of the city they are releasing some balloons in memory of this moment but right now in the city life does go on.

people are carrying on with their lives as best as three can. >> gabriel elizondo in port-au-prince. thank you. ines will have the story after the break. >> hello i'm ray suarez. nigerian group boko haram unleashed a bloody rampage through northern nigeria. why for so long last the public watched and done so very little? we're live with that at the top of the hour.

>> it's been a rare victory for gay rights advocates in egypt. maria ines ferre has the story. ines.

>> today's decision was a shock. family and friends celebrating after they heard the news. all 26 were acquitted. this received national attention. after this video was filmed at a cairo bathhouse claiming the men were spreading aids in egypt. homosexuality is not illegal in egypt but is very much a stigmata into. activists said last year, stigma a tab ta intooo. today's decision was rare . >> almost everyone who finds himself caught up in a court case gets sent to trial. judges are extremely unsim thet toik humanunsympathetic to human rights

or human freedoms. i think this is very rare, had a lot to do with the international outrage because ordinary people really felt no, we don't want the state prying in our private lives, we don't want to feel that wherever we go there might be a police raid on it. it's time draw a raid on it and say this should stop. >> as to the tv reporter who orchestrated the raid,ing calling for her to resign, david. >> that's it for this hour. it was a mistake for the u.s. government not to send somebody of higher rank to attend the rally, officials say. leaders from 40 different countries but the united states did not send president obama or vice president biden or even

secretary of state john kerry. today, white house spokes pern josh earnest acknowledged that was a mistake. "inside story" is next. for the latest head to aljazeera.com. jazeera.com. >> while the world was rivetted for the supports of what was happening in france, nigeria hardly made the headlines. that's "inside story."
