you just talked about that alexis had he was pretty much free to enter and leave as he pleased. this was a security clearance he got because he was working for a company that was subcontracted by another company that was updating the computer system inside the navy yard. that security clearance he had also came from his time in the navy reserve. he was with the navy reserve and that helps you get that kind of clearance despite being discharged from the navy in the end. the question how was he still able to get in and why were no mental problems detected that clearly are now being found out that he had four weeks and months and possibly even years before this incident happened? >> what else is emerging about the gunmen? >> quite a lot. slowly but surely, the press is

voting officials who are part of the investigation that there were very serious mental problems and indeed he was in treatment only weeks before this incident happened, and that he was "hearing voices." that is from officials who have been speaking to the associated press. more coming out about his time with the navy reserves. investigators are admitting there is still a mr., there was no message left by aaron alexis and that motive is still being sought. they are asking anyone to come forward if any information they may have about this man to find out just why he did this in the end. the gun that was used is a shotgun that has been revealed by the investigators.

it was legally bought in the state of virginia. there have been announcements from the navy, from the defense department and from the white house that several parts of security clearances at military bases will be reviewed over the next few weeks and months to come. >> thank you very much for joining us. police have stormed a building in austria, looking for a man who has shot at four people so far. it is 70 kilometers west of vienna. three police officers were shot by the suspect as he made his getaway by car. they have yet to find their man. there is direct this agreement between france and russia over the source of the chemical weapons attack in syria on august 21. the atrocity killed over 1400 people.

russia blames the rebels. the two men openly disagreed at a news conference in moscow ahead of the un security council meeting. >> despite the smiles for his russian opposite number, he failed to make moscow shifted stance on syria. on monday, a report by you inspectors confirmed the use of chemical weapons in a deadly attack on a damascus suburb last month. jill, there is no consensus on whether bashar al-assad or syrian rebels were to blame for the strike. >> the report shows that the syrian regime was responsible for the chemical massacre. >> we want the events of the 21st of august to be impartially, objectively professionally investigated. we have serious grounds to believe it was a provocation. >> china also called for a fresh

investigation to determine responsibility for the massacre. the u.s., france, and britain are pushing for a u.n. resolution invoking chapter seven of the u.n. charter. that leaves open the possibility of military strikes if syria refuses to play ball. once again, russia is taking a different tack. >> it will not be based on chapter seven. the document on which we agree contains no mention of this. >> damascus has agreed to hand over its chemical weapons, while rejecting blame for the august 20 first massacre. on tuesday, the syrian foreign minister said western governments are trying to impose their will on the syrian people. >> the islamist leader in bangladesh has been given the death penalty.

he was put on trial for his role in the country's war of independence in the early 1970s. prosecutors described him as a butcher. >> increased security presence ahead of the controversy will court ruling and the sentence the punishment handed out. the attorney general said on tuesday that the death sentence was final. >> today, the verdict is being delivered. a prosecution appeal has been excepted. the four repeal the verdict that acquitted him of the massacre. >>'s it defense team said it would seek a review of the verdict will avoid hanging. >> we are bound to obey the verdict.

we respect the highest judicial institution of the country. but the verdict is faulty. >> back in february, the war crimes tribunal found the leader of the outlawed party guilty of rape, torture, and murder. he was accused of committing these crimes during a 1971 war of independence from pakistan. the life sentence imposed at the time sparked deadly protests across the country. the latest verdict could further inflame tension, just months before the country's election between the governing and opposition parties. >> strikes against the ongoing

cuts are underway. we are joined by professor of economics on the line from athens. good evening to you, sir. another six years do you think this is realistic or even possible macro? >> could you repeat the question ? >> do you think six years to put reese back on track, get people back to the living standards they enjoyed before the financial crisis, do you think six years is realistic? do you think it is possible macro >> yes, of course it is possible. as you know we have a decision of almost six years. finally, as everybody expects

we expect a recovery. it seems in 2014 and after, the situation will change. we can expect a better situation. >> people are still very much suffering. they are striking again. do you think they can put up with another six years of the kind of cuts and financial squashing and squeezing that is going on in reese -- in greece? >> we expect their political and economic situation will change. we cannot support more taxes and as you can see, it remains

clear on behalf of the government. however we cannot see if this economic situation continues if the recovery remains a dream, we do not see how you can escape the situation. >> it is a dilemma. thank you very much for joining us. we will be returning to the greek situation later in the program with our correspondent in athens for further analysis of the situation. next, outrage here in france is growing after a man was shot dead and he was charged with involuntary manslaughter. he shot the youth who was running away from the scene.

>> stop this masquerade am a judge the real culprit. hundreds gathered outside a court, demanding a retrial over the murder of a turkish armenian journalist. they say those behind the death are still running free. >> they want an exemplary trial where all the suspects are identified and where a turkish state can finally acknowledge its involvement in this murder. >> in 2007, he was shot dead outside the office of a newspaper. he was a vocal critic of government policy. he angered turkish nationalist when he talked about the world war i armenian genocide and was repeatedly prosecutors it. in 2011, he was condemned to 23

years in prison. last may, an appeals court ordered a retrial to determine whether both men had acted alone. something supporters welcomed. >> this is one of the most important cases in the history of our country. we need to uncover the truth because it is preventing us from facing our past. that is why we need to know exactly what happened. >> the judicial process is long. the trial has been adjourned until the third of december. >> the armenian journalist was gunned down outside his newspaper office in turkey back in 2007. allegations of state involvement in his killing will be reopening

in that trial today in easton bowl. -- in istanbul. >> charged with voluntary homicide and under house arrest the man who shot dead a teenager for allegedly robbing his shop could not attend the rally in his name, but his son was there to receive the messages from -- of support from colleagues and from ordinary people. >> the ordinary residents are even more affected. >> hundreds gathered on monday as his son led a slow march toward the covert -- toward the courthouse. >> we always have to be fearful and suspicious of anyone who comes into our shops. >> they are also calling for the release of the jeweler, saying he had the right to self-defense

. some in the crowd were drawing on their personal experience. >> he shot at me. i endured him. he was sentenced to 12 years in prison. i did not get anything. it was self-defense. >> the family of the shooting victim are distraught by the reaction to his death. >> i don't know how he can be considered a hero when he killed my brother. i know he was trying to rob the shop, but i don't understand how people can have this attitude about him. it is horrible. they have not even given us his body. >> they're asking for a trial to take place outside nice, saying there's too much support for the shooter in his hometown. >> the latest business news, marcus joins us from central bank. >> the financial industry is on

edge ahead of what is arguably one of the most important events in global business this year. during that two-day meeting, the federal reserve will decide whether or not to taper or start reducing its stimulus measures that it has been pumping into the u.s. economy the last couple of years to prop up the u.s. economy. the fed has signaled previously that it is ready to start weaning the global economy off what is arguably steroids for the financial market. the repercussions of this decision on wednesday will spread further afield than just the united states, to emerging markets and europe. stephen has been taking a closer look at the options facing the fed. >> $85 billion. that is how much america's central bank has been pumping into the economy every month since last december.

it is designed to help kickstart a recovery particularly in the troubled housing sector, and to bring down unemployment. back in june, the federal reserve chairman him a ben bernanke, said he could start closing the money tap at the end of the year is the u.s. economy continued to improve. an expected reduction of bond buying of about $10 billion per month. >> the global economy -- a change at the fed will be felt around the world. >> you have outflows of money on one side and the risk of contagion. if we have this contagion, the

ecb at some point would have to act. >> they are preparing around the world for the federal reserve to rein in its stimulus program. if he cuts it back by more than expected, we can expect bigger market moves later in the week. >> stephen in the middle of france's financial district. let's look at how the markets for trading. >> it looked like the glass was half full over in the united states. we saw the american indices closing of blow -- gains across the board with the nasdaq closing out a 13 year high. investors seem to be in a wait and see mode as european indices finished the day in the red. some losses there when it comes to the ftse 100 in london.

we will look at some of the shares that lost some steam during tuesday's trading. auto stocks, as vehicle sales are still sagging. according to an industry bowl, new car sales were down five percent in august compared to last year. a 17% drop for the french carmaker. >> french banks are launching their own paypal. >> this is a story about three major banks launching an online payment portal for tablets and smartphones in particular. this allows them to use -- to make payments online without entering credit card details much like paypal which is owned by ebay.

all the clients of certain banks will be able to use it at first, but these three banks say that hope that other lenders in france and elsewhere will be joining eventually. heading back to the united states, the chief executive of jpmorgan chase is promising to clean up its act. jamie dimon says he is rolling up his sleeves to improve the lender's compliance and control problems. it looks to pay about $800 million in fines. it follows a trading scandal last year nicknamed the london whale and cost the bank $6 billion. it is believed to be the most expensive video game ever developed. grants left auto five -- grand theft auto five was released and so far users appear to like what they see. $265 million.

some forecast sales above $1.5 billion. presumably it looks like a pretty good investment. >> marcus carlson, thank you very much indeed. >> a glitch in -- facebook and twitter being made. >> certainly did not have to go through all these proxies and shortcuts, to get access to twitter and facebook, which have been blocked in iran since 2000 and nine when there were antigovernment protests.

some saying my first legal tweet from tehran. but it was shut down pretty rapidly. is this a fight between hard- liners and moderates? why she asking that question? the new president of iran has promised to free up internet access, but there are hard- liners who are overseeing internet censorship crusade is not the time to lift these restrictions on the internet. it seems to be some kind of ideological tug-of-war going on at some level. a france 24 journalists spoke to turn list close to the power in tehran who say it was a technical glitch, not a power struggle. occasionally they update the firewalls. sources in tehran are now saying

it is the opposite of what some thought, it seems like they were toughening or making those firewalls even stronger and broader. it led to quite a bit of excitement, which was quickly quelled. a quick look at foreign policy from around 2012. is facebook and twitter really that much of a risk? it was completely blown out of all proportion and in fact, text messages e-mail and word-of- mouth played a much bigger role than twitter or facebook and bringing people together for those antigovernment protests that we remember from 2009. >> those protest of course blocked the access to facebook all based on that reaction by the government. exit seems it was a normal

reaction because they were not the main source of people sharing information. >> on a middle east blog it says they became penpals because he had been hearing they might be meeting at the u.n. and then start correspondence. it is a tongue-in-cheek way of barack obama explaining he lives in a nice big house with a garden. they are just discovering each other in the correspondence. it is quite a touching correspondence. >> the events in washington are very tragic events. we turn to that now.

reminding again the danger of mis-identifying a suspect. >> in bc and cbs, reddit and twitter both mention a suspect on the basis that his id had been found near the site of the shooting in the washington d.c. navy yard. that was not the correct identity of the suspect in question, and that information was quickly shut down, but not before nbc and cbs passed on that false information. reddit also mentioned information on the wrong suspect after the boston bombing. some people are saying you have to be really careful of information that appears on social networks around the time of a breaking story. the experience of the boston

bombing in shutting down that information when it became clear that the wrong suspect was being pursued. >> the old journalism adage of checking and checking again is something everyone needs to do in the circumstances. >> it can be

09/17/13 09/17/13 [captioning made possible by democracy now!] >> from pacifica, this is democracy now! >> the demographics unit, they would take ethnic officers out of the academy and drop them into ethnic neighborhoods where they were basically the eyes and ears of the nypd. they kind of go to the bookstores and the libraries and the cocoa bars --hookah bars
