didn't hear the security guard. >> right away i knew he was deaf. >> but the security guard doesn't appear to notice. al and droe's brother desperately try does get the guard's attention but it's hard because pablo is deaf. >> it's unfortunate that deaf people don't articulate their voices as well as hearing people. so what you hear is a lot of gutteral kind of -- and they're almost prime evil screams. you can fear the pain in their voices even though they can't articulate what they're saying. you can hear what they're feeling that there was a panic there. >> pablo is unable to help his brother. >> there was another security guard. >> he's purple. >> the most shocking part of the
6:13 pm
video to me is when alejandro starts turning purple. because that's when you know it was serious. he could have passed out. and the frustrating part about it was is he couldn't communicate to the guy to stop, even though he was trying to communicate with him. you can see alex in the video clearly motioning with his hand to the security guard, i'm tapping out, you know, it's kind of the universal sign that all guys know that when you're pinned and you're giving up, you tap out. you say uncle, i give up. >> bystanders start to gather as al and droe continues to struggle to get out from under the security guard's grasp. >> the crowd was fairly big. there was at least a hundred of us watching. >> after two minutes, one witness attempts to step in, but he is held back by a third security guard. nobody else steps in to help. >> he somewhat seemed helpless,

6:15 pm
calls local news stations. >> within a couple days that the video was up, it already received hundreds of thousands of views. >> thanks to joshua's video, alejandro has a claim of his own. >> the civil lawsuit is for the damages they caused him by using excessive force. >> the guard is never charged, but he loses his job with forever 21 and the store settles with the brothers for an undisclosed sum. >> we didn't even end up having to sue. that's rare for corporate america for them to say yes, we did make a mistake and we're going to do whatever we need to do to fix it. >> no charges are brought against pablo. as for the criminal case against alejandro, he pleads no contest and serves 120 days in jail. >> he started it and was clearly in the wrong, but when they went over the line and made it into something it shouldn't have

be removed after several years. >> but when the next president was elected, he signs a new agreement with russia that extends the lease for another 25 years. the majority of parliament supports the deal, but some politicians and many ukrainians vehemently disagree. and they intend to make their objections known. >> me and my crew, we were working outside the parliament. there had been very large-scale protests. close to 1,500 men were here protesting. lots of police and the atmosphere was very tense and deep. i was actually recording a sound bite with one of the protesters and i had had a call from my office in moscow and said something big is happening inside the parliament and you should have a look. i ran to the truck and i had a look at the feed.
