this is "bbc world news," and now live from london, "bbc world news." hello. i'm geeta guru-murthy with "bbc world news." our top stories. south korea tests its ability to withstand a cyber attack on its nuclear power system, after threats were made by a hacker. tunisia's first free presidential election is said to be won by an 88-year-old political veteran, but his rival says it's too close to call. police in new york take extra precautions after two police officers were shot dead on saturday. and spain's princess is to face charges on tax fraud.

hello. south korea is testing the ability of its nuclear power plants to fight a cyber attack. the move comes after threats by a hacker to damage nuclear power stations if they with respect shut down by christmas. diagrams of some of the country's nuclear reactors have been published online in the last few days. steve evans is in the capital seoul with the latest. >> reporter: the hackers call themselves the opponents of nuclear power from hawaii. though nobody believes that hawaii is necessarily any connection to them. they've been posting documents, internal documents from the nuclear industry here in south korea on the web over the past few days. now, though, they're also

putting warnings up on the web. they say that if three reactors aren't closed by christmas day, then a "round of destruction" will occur. and also they're threatening to put about 100,000 new documents on the web and asking the question, is this really what you want, this kind of information about nuclear power to be out there? now, nobody knows how forceful, how truthful these claims are. what we do know is that hackers have got into the system. the nuclear power company and the government here says that they do not have the power to get into if bit of the computer system that controls power stations. that they don't have the power to take over power stations, if you like. but they're also saying that they're going to conduct fake cyber attacks on those systems

just to be doubly sure. are these attacks here on power stations and the industry connected to sony? the truth is we simply don't know. some analysts here say there are similarities with cyber attacks, on banks, and television stations. last year here in south korea. and those were eventually linked to north korea. that may be so, but the truth is, there's no hard evidence of that at the moment. >> steve evans in seoul. with me is our technology correspondent rory jones. any other attacks in the last few days that people have been concerned about? >> one thing that we spotted this morning, an annual report from germany's cyber security organization, main cyber security defense organization. and it's highlighted what sounds like a very damaging attack on a steal plant in germany.

they manage to identify key personnel. somehow get their credentials, and then get in the organization. it said it caused an actual shutdown of a while of a blast furnace. so real impacts in a way that you don't often see. i think that is beginning to worry people more. we're hearing this story out of south korea about nuclear plants. has to be clear there. they're not saying that the actual technology inside the nuclear plants is being affected. it is the administration. that kind of cyber warfare could be extremely damaging. >> is there any hard and fast information out there at the moment that anyone can verify on whether north korea, either working on its own or with others, with china, whoever, is capable of doing this sort of work, and is behind it? >> you heard steve evans say repeatedly we don't know, we don't know. what has happened over the last week is intense examination really of the fingerprints of

that attack on sony, and what was eventually concluded was that it bore the same fingerprints as those attacks we were hearing about on south korean banks and television stations last year, and that's what's led to this conclusion that it is north korea involved. >> can the fingerprints, for example, be laid there in order to point in one direction even if they're not? >> well, they could be. what we're talking about is methods of attack. it's very difficult ever to pin down -- unless somebody cops out and reveals themselves, it almost never happens that you are able to say person x, country x actually did this. but you can have a high level of suspicion and you can look at past patterns of behavior. and we do know that north korea has developed -- we know from defectors and so on that it has developed quite a sophisticated level of cyber warfare. particularly strange in a country where, you know, the average citizen gets no access to the internet and to

computers. >> worrying for governments everywhere, isn't it? thanks very much indeed. the results of tunisia's historic presidential election are expected soon. the new president will be the first to be freely elected since the overthrow of their president four years ago. the man leading the polls is 88 and he was a senior politician during the dictatorship. this report does have some flash photography. >> reporter: for these tunisian newlyweds, it's been one of the happiest days of their lives, and one of the most memorable. for the first time in the country's history, its citizens were allowed to elect a new head of state in a free and fair manner and without the result being a foregone conclusion. >> translator: i hope that the new president will make tunisia able to stand on its feet. i wish all the best for tunisia.

>> translator: to me this day means happiness. tunisia and its progress flourishing. and love. tunisia is bringing everyone together. >> reporter: the choice was between these two very different men. the doctor turned human rights activist was imprisoned and forced into exile until 2011. he's popular among poorer tunisians, especially in the interior of the country where the revolution started. he's been challenged by essebsi. at 88, he's well beyond retirement age and his political career dates back to dictatorship. but for tunisians, especially in the wealthier, more developed coastal north, he represents continuity. and his team has already claimed victory.

>> translator: according to the first indications from the polling stations, we can say that essebsi has won the second round. >> reporter: whoever wins will be tunisia's first ever democratically elected leader, and the vote comes at a symbolic time. exactly four years ago, the country was in the middle of a popular uprising that inspired others in the region to do the same. but for now, only tunisia has managed the transition from dictatorship to democracy. now, a judge in spain has ordered that princess christina, the sister of the spanish king, be tried on charges of tax fraud. the charges were brought as part of an investigation into her husband's business dealings. they have both denied wrong doing. with me is our business presenter jamie robertson. what are the charges? >> the most serious charges against her husband, he's been

charged with breach of legal duty, embezzling and money laundering. he faces up to 15 years in prison. whereas christina has been charged just with tax crimes. originally -- well, up until today, it was the prosecutor had said that christina only ought to be fined 580,000 euros, and her husband should still stand trial. but the judge, jose castro, has ordered now that she faces a trial, along with 15 other people as well. and it all centers around the disappearance of funds from a charitable institute, which is a charitable sports foundation in which they were involved. >> people will see this as part of a royal soap opera. we saw the coronation. christina not included as part of that. >> she's not officially part of

the royal family. the royal family, because of appalling publicity, which was partly centered around this, this investigation has been going on for four years now. but also, the policies, bad publicity regarding safari hunting and shooting elephants in africa. so when the publicity of a royal family plummeted, there was a restructuring of the whole royal family. felipe is now the king, and he has distanced himself very much from his sister. and also from his other sister elena, who has nothing to do with this at all. so he has restructured the royal family, so it's very much felipe and his royal family. >> and it's all transfixing the spani spanish public. >> yes, apparently. it's brought up quite a lot of republican feeling. we've got independence movements going on at the moment in catalonia. we've also got -- there's a right wing union which is

actually demanding a civil case be brought against christina. so yes, there is a lot of bad publicity surrounding this. even though felipe is managing to distance himself, it's not good. >> just quickly, you have the big business stories. >> it's air bus. air bus has a new plane coming off the runway. very light. almost held it in the palm of your hands. it's not that light, but you know i mean. let's catch up with some other news. 11 people injured in the french city of dijon when a man drove into a crowd shouting "god is great." the house in the australian city of cairns where eight children were killed on friday is likely to be demolished and a public memorial put up on the

site. a final decision will be taken after further consultations with the family. now, police in pakistan say they have arrested several people suspected of involvement in the planning of the massacre at a school in peshawar last week. the pakistani taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, which left 141 people dead, including 132 children. after the attack, pakistan lifted a suspension of the death penalty and it has since executed six men. our correspondent shaimaa khalil is in islamabad. what do we know now about the other men who could be killed by the government? >> both the government and the military leadership are under immense pressure to prove to the pakistani people that they're able to stand up to militancy. you mentioned these arrests and these six militants that were hanged in the past two days, and now we hear from the interior

minister that there are hundreds more due to be hanged. he mentioned 500. the exact number we are still -- you know, it's still not decided. but also it's worthy noting that we are also hearing that not all of them are accused of terrorist acts. but it doesn't really matter as much about the numbers now. what matters is that both the government and the military want to show -- want to have a show of strength. they want to show people that they're doing something about this. that they're serious about their reaction against the militants. obviously the mood here in pakistan is still very somber. thousands of people have taken to the streets in condemnation of this attack, but also urging the government to do something about this. there have been many placards with messages of solidarity, but also messages of anger. an eye for an eye, one placard said. kill them all, another said. just to give you an idea about the feeling on the street. but with all of this going on, there is now a real concern about how the pakistani taliban

is going to react to all of this. the prisons have been on high alert for the last two days in concern of jailbreaks, and also we've been getting reports that there are threats of more targeting of children of military personnel. the real challenge now for the authorities here is to be able to assure the pakistani people that they won't let a massacre like the peshawar school happen again. >> what about the whole double game that pakistan is accused of playing, where it supports funds -- the so-called afghan taliban, and yet it is obviously worried about the pakistani taliban. is there pressure on the i.s. or others to change now? will it really make a difference? >> i mean, look, the pressure is there. and we've long heard this. you know, the good taliban, the bad taliban, the afghan taliban, the pakistani taliban. we've long heard about these proposed peace talks, getting the taliban to a negotiating

table. but really, after the peshawar school massacre, there's a real change of momentum here. at least as far as the people are concerned, saying look, enough politics. enough maneuvers. we need to see a solid and a unified stance about how you're going to face militants. but again, the real question is how that translates into people's lives, but also how people's lives going to be affected by any reactions from the militants in the days to come. >> shaimaa khalil in islamabad, thank you. do stay with us on "bbc world news." there is much more ahead. ten years after the indian ocean tsunami, our correspondent returns to the indonesian province to see how the region has recovered.

south korea will test its nuclear plant's ability to cope with a cyber attack after hackers stole sensitive documents and then published them online. and tunisia's first free presidential election looks set to be won by an 88-year-old political veteran. final results are due out soon. now, police in new york have been ordered to take extra precautions after two officers were shot dead in a targeted attack on saturday. policemen on foot patrol have been told only to go out in pairs, and sentries have been posted outside police stations. it's emerged the murderer ismaaiyl brinsley had a long criminal record, including 19 prior offenses and served a two-year sentence on weapons-related offenses. i'm joined now on the line by a reporter with new york one, and he's on the line from a vigil that's being held in brooklyn at the site of the murder of those

two police officers. thanks for joining us. just tell us what's happening where you are at the moment. >> reporter: right now, we're actually right at the corner of where those two officer were murdered, and they're sitting inside a patrol car, doing a routine patrol of what's known as a high crime area, when they were ambushed by this gunman. there are lots of candles, flags. a couple officers are standing guard near this memorial. people continue even at this very early hour, it's just 6:30 in the morning eastern time in new york city. people still dropping off candles, lighting candles, dropping off flowers. so the two officers very much on the minds of certainly fellow officers within the nypd, but it seems the entire city of new york, many people very shocked and outraged by what happened here over the weekend as these two officers were just doeing their job, ambushed, and completely assassinated is how the police commissioner

described the attack of these two officers. >> and i gather there was a moment yesterday, i think we got some pictures of some of the police turning their back on the mayor. why are they so unhappy? >> well, it's been a very toxic atmosphere between city hall, the mayor, and the police union, the leadership. the union leadership very upset with the mayor how he handled these protests. the past several weeks after the eric garner decision and of course the michael brown grand jury decision in missouri. the union leadership upset with the mayor has allowed these protests to continue basically unregulated, they say. and they feel that the mayor has not been supportive enough of the police officers. they say he basically is throwing them under the bus and should not have allowed all these protests to continue the way that they have. and also, they're upset with some of the statements that is mayor has said about police, talking butt how he had to warn his own son about how to protect

themselves and to be very careful when he encounters a police officer here in the city. so that very much has angered the police and the leadership, even some rank and file police officers themselves. and this, now what happened here over the weekend, just added a deeper wedge between city hall and police union leadership. >> a lot of frustration still from people in the black community across the united states about police actions. where is this going? because politically, it doesn't seem possible for anyone to calm it down. >> no, it doesn't. and again, it only seems to be getting worse. there's the sense here in the city that it is getting worse, and there's no end to it. i mean, many people have been calling for the mayor to resign over the way he's handled the police protests. there are petitions online trying to encourage voters to get him out of office. and the policing leadership not backing down.

i'm using strong words. saying that the mayor has blood on his hands because of what happened here. very much pointing the finger. for the first time a couple of days ago right before these shootings, actually on friday i think it was, you had a pro-police rally in addition to these anti-police rallies. we've seen people come forward and saying that we support the nypd, we support the work that we do, and blaming mayor de blasio, saying he does need to support police, he does need to be on the side of police officers. but the mayor -- it's been a tough, tough thing for him to walk the fine line supporting his police department, but also at the same time, trying to respect the rights of protesters to be able to protest and voice their opinions. >> rocco, thanks so much for explaining all that to us. we appreciate your time today, thanks. >> my pleasure. when the indian ocean

tsunami struck ten years ago, it was one of the biggest natural disasters in history. our correspondent andrew harding covered it in aceh and he's back to see how things have started. >> reporter: it started with an undersea earthquake, one of the biggest in recorded history. a tsunami came ashore here in the indonesian province of aceh, a wave of maybe 20, maybe 30 meters high. it hit the shore at about 8:00 in the morning, and it kept on going. it pushed miles inland, heading towards the regional capital. it smashed into the first houses and kept going. by the time it had finished, maybe 160,000 people were dead or dying. the entire city had more or less been destroyed. a decade later, and as you might expect, the city has made a dramatic recovery.

there's no hint really here of the scars left by the tsunami. the place is bustling, and it's peaceful. it's important to remember that there used to be a terrible separatist conflict here in aceh. the tsunami had a catalytic effect, ending that conflict almost immediately, and the peace is still holding here. one result of that is that aceh is now more autonomous, which means there is shari'a law, which has been imposed with increasing strictness. some people like that. they feel that the tsunami was a punishment from god. but other people are worried that shari'a law is starting to scare away the foreign investment. many here believe this province badly needs. i've come to a multi-story escape building, one of several bill here along the coastline, just in case another tsunami should strike aceh. and you get a sense of how the $7 billion raised after the

tsunami by the international community has been spent. i remember coming to this port area just after the tsunami. there was nothing here. every tree, every building had been destroyed. and now look at it. these are some of the 140,000 homes built by the international community since the tsunami. no, not all of them are occupied, yes, some of them are more safe, more well-built than others. but overall, it's been a success. there were 2,000 miles of new roads built. when you talk to people here, nobody is going to forget for a second what happened, but overall, pretty much everyone says that their lives, their economy is better now than it was before the tsunami. >> andrew harding with that special report. it is that time of year santa comes calling, though not

always in the way you might expect. in new south wales in australia, a group of firemen were handing out sweets to children when they spotted a house on fire. one of the men dressed as father christmas. they swung into action, rescuing a man who was unconscious inside. not a sight you see too often. we're back in five minutes. join us then.

you pay your auto insurance premium every month on the dot. you're like the poster child for paying on time. and then one day you tap the bumper of a station wagon. no big deal... until your insurance company jacks up your rates. you freak out. what good is having insurance if you get punished for using it? hey insurance companies, news flash. nobody's perfect. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance.

this is "bbc world news." our top stories. south korea tests its ability to withstand a cyber attack on its nuclear power system after threats were made by a hacker. tunisia's first free presidential election is set to be won by an 88-year-old political veteran, but his rival says the result is too close to call. police in new york are ordered to take extra precautions after two officers were shot dead on saturday. and will the president of fifa continue?

he's had secret talks with fifa officials. hello. south korea is testing the ability of its nuclear power plant to fight a cyber attack. the move follows threats by a hacker to damage nuclear power stations if they were not shut down by christmas. diagrams of some of the country's nuclear reactors have been published online in the last few days. steve evans is in the capital seoul with the latest. >> reporter: the hackers call themselves the opponents of nuclear power from hawaii. though nobody believes that hawaii is necessarily any connection to them. they've been posting documents, internal documents from the nuclear industry here in south korea on the web over the past few days.

now, though, they're also putting warnings up on the web. they say that if three reactors aren't closed by christmas day, then a "round of destruction" will occur. and also they're threatening to put about 100,000 new documents on the web and asking the question, is this really what you want, this kind of information about nuclear power to be out there? now, nobody knows how forceful, how truthful these claims are. what we do know is that hackers have got into the system. the nuclear power company and the government here says that they do not have the power to get into the bit of the power system that controls power stations, that they don't have the power to take over power stations, if you like. but they're also saying that they're going to conduct fake cyber attacks on those systems

just to be doubly sure. are these attacks here on power stations and the industry connected to sony? the truth is we simply don't know. some analysts here say there are similarities with cyber attacks, on banks, and television stations. last year here in south korea. and those were eventually linked to north korea. that may be so, but the truth is there's no hard evidence of that at the moment. >> steve evans for us there in seoul. i also spoke to the bbc's security correspondent frank gardner and asked him just about how governments are reacting to this threat of cyber attack. >> got cyber warfare, cyber espionage, cyber terrorism, cyber vandalism. president obama called the sony hacking cyber vandalism. what's going on in korea today is potentially far more dangerous, because if whoever is doing these hacks, whether they're based in north korea, china, or wherever and it's not

known exactly where this is coming from, if they really do have the capability that they say, that that is essentially cyber terrorism. and there reason many precedents for this. >> any city would obviously be very worried about a nuclear reactor type threat. presumably there's a lot that goes into securing all that, but the technology keeps changing. how confident can people be that governments will always be one step ahead? >> well, the difficulty is that in hiring the right brains for this. and if you talk to people who work in government employ, particularly the bosses who occasionally give out public statements, they say the trouble is that retaining really good staff is quite difficult because civil servants generally don't get paid that much. it's far more attractive to work in the private sector, and for a small minority of people in the criminal arena as well because

there's a lot of money to be made there. so they're not always able to retain good cyber brains. and of course, you know, if you're going to stop hackers, who do you want to hire? you want to hire hackers. you want to hire the burglars who know the way in. and it's an arms race, this. it is a con standpointly evolving dynamic changing scene, a battle the whole time to try and outwit. the moment you can solve something, you can patch it up, somebody else has invented a way of getting through. they've got this bureau, 121, which is pretty effective. and there is a precedent here. they were able to hack last year into south korean institutions in march 2013, which is one of the reasons they are the suspects in this, but so far, we haven't seen any convincing

proof that they are behind any of this. >> frank gardner there. the results of tunisia's historic presidential election are expected later. the new president will be the first to be freely elected since the overthrow of their president four years ago. veteran politician beji caid essebsi has declared victory, but his rival says the result is too close to call. the results are going to take a while. >> reporter: an election authority has set a press conference for 8:00 local time later today in the evening. we are not entirely sure whether these will be the preliminary results or whether that will just be an update on turnout figures. but we are expecting results early this week, either today or tomorrow. and whoever wins, what are their programs going to mean for the country? >> reporter: i think it's quite important to remember that this was a very symbolic election. it's the first democratically elected president to move into

the presidential palace here, and in the arab world, the only democratically elected president. but, the powers of the president here have been curtailed. they have been cut back. based on what's been happening here for the last 30 years under dictatorship. so the president is in charge of foreign affairs, defense, security. he will also be appointing some judges that will be sitting on the constitutional court. but i think it's also important to remember that mr. essebsi's party and mr. essebsi is currently leading in the exit polls, has the majority of the seats in parliament, so they will be running the government here. >> and is it possible to say why tunisia has managed this transition to democracy when ohers have so clearly failed? >> reporter: well, i think that is the million-dollar question. it's the question i've been asking a few observers who have been working here with political parties and with the politicians here. they say one thing that does stand out here in the transition is that people at times when conflict seems to erupt, when

there were political assassinations, and the whole process seemed -- it was very close to falling apart. were committed to keep on talking to each other, to meeting first behind closed doors, and then in the proper process. but what they say is that politicians from all sides have been committed to dialogue, committed to talking to each other, committed to moving the country forward, if in very incremental steps. i think that is a very important difference that sets this country apart. i think you should also not forget that this is a very cohesive country. it's religiously cohesive. it's the sunni majority country. there are no religious minorities here or different sectarian groups here. so i think that made a big difference as well. in other news today, a judge in spain has ordered that princess christina be tried on charges of tax fraud. the charges are brugt in as part of an investigation into her

husband's business dealings.oug part of an investigation into her husband's business dealings. christina and her husband have both denied any wrong doing. 11 people were injured in a french city of dijon when a man drove his car into a crowd shouting in islamic god is great. the house in the australian city of cairns where eight children were killed on friday is likely to be demolished and a public memorial put on the site. the city's member of parliament said a further decision would be taken after consultations with the family. the bbc has learned secret talks have taken place between fifa officials and set blatter. he had confirmed that he intends to run in the next presidential election in may. it would be his fifth term of

office. bbc sport has been told that the recent crisis within fifa over an investigation into bidding corruption could have far-reaching effects. with me is richard conway from bbc sport. who have you spoken to? can you tell white house theyus said? >> what i can tell you is there is increasing worry about the direction that fifa has taken. we've seen it hit by numerous scandals over the years. over the last few months, it's been dealing with a very acrimonious fallout from that investigation into alleged world cup bidding corruption involving the 2018 and 2022 tournaments. once source has told me he feels that set blatter is increasingly weary, he's looking as if a man who doesn't perhaps have the stomach to carry on in the job. and as such, there are challenges, reform-minded people within the organization who may now feel the time is right to challenge him with that election for the fifa presidency coming up in may next year.

>> do we have names of those challengers? >> i think prince ali of jordan is a man reported to have been very interested. i think he will take his time to decide ahead of the deadline for nominations on january 29th the head of the asian football confederation is increasingly powerful in world football circles. but the one thing that keeps coming back to me is jeffrey webb, the head of concacaf, who looks after north america, central america, and the caribbean. he's taken on great reforms. he's led fifa's anti-racism task force. what i'm hearing is he may have the global support to take on blatter and win. it's a big decision for him and i don't think he's quite made up his mind just yet. >> how has sepp blatter managed to stay at the head of this hugely powerful organization for so long? >> fifa is an enormously powerful body. it's been very successful in terms of how it's marketed and monetized the world cup, which

is its principal tournament every four years. that money has been used to fund football around the world. sepp blatter has a lot of support in asia and africa. he's lost all support in europe, though. so there is now a battle within fifa to see about its future direction. sepp blatter saying he wanted to helicopter these reforms. he wanted to take on this agenda for another four years. that has caused a little bit of concern and there could be a looming battle between reformers and sepp blatter in that may election. >> thanks very much indeed. do stay with us. we have much more ahead for you. more on this, spain's huge annual lottery is being drawn right now, and there are thousands of winners. that can hw steadily and quickly. great job.

this is "bbc world news." i'm geeta guru-murthy with the latest headlines for you. south korea will test its nuclear plant's ability to cope with a cyber attack after hackers stole sensitive documents and then published them online. and tunisia's first free presidential election looks set to be won by an 88-year-old political veteran. final results are due out soon. the draw in spain is under way for the el gordo, or the fat one, the annual lottery which has the world's biggest payoff. this year, worth 2.5 billion euros. this is what's happening at the moment. it's around $3 billion. let's just listen to those children there singing the results. the pot is divided between thousands of ticketholders. the largest amount people can win is $490,000.

the draw takes up to four hours. as you can see, it's been going on for a long time. you can see the globe spinning there behind those children. i'm joined on the line now by costas metsuzakas from a village in spain which won the lottery three years ago. costas, thanks for joining us. i gather everyone in the village won three years ago except you. is it right? you didn't actually buy a ticket? >> this is correct. the spanish people are obsessed with the lottery, so everybody buys it. if you're not spanish, you cannot get how important it is for them. by the way, right now, they are singing the numbers. and the big one hasn't come out. >> now you didn't buy a ticket. why not, and how on earth did you feel when everyone else won? >> no. first of all, because i don't buy the lottery usually. and second, because my house is

outside of the city, so the association that sells the ticket in this case didn't pass from my place, because if they did, i would. >> ah. and so how much did you lose out? how much did other people win? >> minimum is 100,000 euros. but you have families, that they reached up to four million. >> that must have been absolutely infuriating for you, wasn't it? >> well, no. because i didn't buy it. i knew that i didn't buy it. i'm not into the lottery thing. you don't buy it, you don't win. it's simple. >> very philosophical of you. what has the money done? how has it changed the people in the village then? >> well, at first, nothing. if you haven't heard anything, there is no change, nothing.

everybody keeps doing what they used to do. the only big difference i think is that they are super relaxed. >> they're super relaxed because they don't have to worry quite so much. >> yeah. with mortgages, land, irrigation systems. so that came just like a divine gift. >> can i just ask you, have you bought for this year's lottery? are you watching this with a ticket in your hand? >> i don't have to. they give me a ticket, like minimum one. >> i'm amazed that you are so content. that's absolutely lovely. good luck. i know you're making a film about the village now. >> yeah, that was my lottery. >> well, good luck to everyone there who might be hoping that their numbers might be coming up in spain. thanks very much for your time. >> thank you.

now to new york, because police there have been ordered to take extra precautions after two officers were shot dead in a targeted attack on saturday. policemen on foot patrol have been told only to go out in pairs, and sentries have been posted outside police stations. it's emerged that the murderer ismaaiyl brinsley had a long criminal record, including 19 prior offenses and served a two-year sentence on weapons-related offenses. >> reporter: an assassination in broad daylight on the streets of brooklyn. the two officers were sitting in their patrol car when they were shot in the head point-blank through the window. they didn't have time to draw their weapons. wenjian liu on the right had been married only two months. rafael ramos on the left was a father of two. >> i would like to thank everyone for their support for our beloved family member rafael

ramos, who will always be loved and missed by many. >> reporter: the gunman was 28-year-old ismaaiyl brinsley, who was already wanted by police in baltimore for shooting and seriously injuring his ex-girlfriend earlier on saturday. after he'd killed the officers in new york, he fled to this nearby subway station before pulling the trigger on himself. this photo shows the pistol he'd used for the attacks. he had also posted threatening messages against the police on the photo sharing site instagram, referring to the recent killings of the unarmed black men michael brown and eric garner. anger over these cases led to nationwide protests, that civil rights activist the reverend al sharpton said it was reprehensible that anyone should use that to justify murder. eric garner's family sent their condolences to the families of the slain officers. >> anyone who's standing with

us, we want you to not use eric garner's name for violence, because we are not about that. these two police officers lost their life senselessly. >> reporter: the deaths of these two officers add to the number killed in the line of duty. this year, 122 have died. nearly 50 in gun-related incidents. president obama paid tribute to the officers in new york and asked that people reject violence. as their bodies were led out of hospital, their colleagues paid their last respects. in what's been described as an attack, not just on two officers, but on society. bbc news, washington. >> a reporter with new york one was at a vigil at the site of the murder of those two police officers.

>> reporter: right at the corner of those two officers were murdered. they were sitting inside a patrol car doing a routine patrol of what's known as a high crime area, when they were ambushed by this gunman, ismaaiyl brinsley. there are lots of flowers and candles, flags. a couple of officers also standing guard near this memorial. people continue even at this very early hour, just 6:30 in the morning eastern time in new york city, people still dropping off candles, lighting candles, dropping off flowers. two officers very much on the minds of certainly fellow officers within the nypd, but it seems the entire city of new york, many people very shocked and outraged by what happened here over the weekend, these two officers just doing their job, completely ambushed and assassinated is how the police commissioner described this attack of these two officers. >> and i gather there was a moment yesterday -- i think we've got some pictures of some of the police turning their back

on the mayor. why are they so unhappy? >> well, there's been -- it's been a very toxic atmosphere between city hall, the mayor, and the police union leadership. very upset with the mayor in how he handled these protests. several weeks after the eric garner decision, and of course, the michael brown grand jury decision in missouri. the union leadership upset with the way the mayor has allowed the protests to continue, basically unregulated they say. and they feel the mayor has not been supportive enough of the police officers. they say he's basically throwing them under the bus and should not have allowed the protests to continue. in recent months, a large-scale university and school educated program funded by the chinese government has been under attack in both the united states and canada. they stand accused of

threatening academic freedom, but little has been heard from the organization in its own defense. that's until now. our correspondent john sudworth was given a rare opportunity to interview the official in charge of the program. >> reporter: china wants to be a cultural power, not just an economic one, and the program is teaching mainly chinese language, but culture, too, they are based inside universities, and staffed by chinese teachers. the big question then and the first one i put to the woman in charge is how free are those teachers from communist party control? >> oh, i think they are free. every teacher, when they come back, they will write a letter. why? because we want to know next time if we send the teachers, what we should revise.

>> reporter: the american association of university professors recently described confucius institutes as an arm of the chinese state. the need for teachers to individually report back to beijing will likely not alleviate, but heighten the concern that the institutes advance a state agenda in the control of academic staff, the choice of curriculum, and in the restriction of debate. if a student in a confucius institute asked a question about taiwanese independence, would they be told that this is an internal chinese matter and not for discussion? >> i always ask them whether the student asks you about taiwan relations with china, or around the taiwan issue, they say no. nobody asks. >> reporter: so when teachers return, you do ask them -- >> yeah. >> reporter: why? >> to learn from them.

but nobody asks the questions. >> reporter: if they were to ask, how should they answer? >> i believe they can answer. every mainland teacher -- taiwan belongs to china. should have one china. >> reporter: amid the concern about academic freedom, chicago university, penn state, and the toronto school board have all recently announced the closure of their confucius programs. and last year, canada's mcmaster university closed its one down after discovering that china prohibits teachers from being members of the band spiritual movement. >> we send our teachers to go abroad. if you are a citizen, you must obey china law, right? >> reporter: her defense of china's confucius institutes will offer cold comfort to their critics. the chinese teachers are free,

she says, but they'll know inherently how to answer controversial political questions. and in these special western university departments, unlike any other, no member of fallon gong need apply. i'll see you tomorrow. bye-bye. rich, chewy caramel rolled up in smooth, milk chocolate... let me know if this gets too hot rolo. get your smooth on.
