in the west we have to fight these myths today in memory of those who won in the second world war. welcome to our g.'s newsroom i'm nice and now it's night america demands a nato brief stop in europe less than a day after russia takes military action in ukraine off the table plus americans want teams are armed to the teeth and using them we'll look at a new report on raids also go green but in great piece they prefer to fly your in the now.

just a day after russia withdrew the option of military action in ukraine the u.s. is pushing its nato allies to beef up in europe president obama is committed that the united states will do its part and he has asked congress for the additional one billion dollars for defense spending in europe. as we head to the oil summit every zero is spending less than two percent of their g.d.p. he needs to dig deeper and make the concrete commitment to do more work or where spending a billion on european security and you should too allies if you spend less than two percent of your g.d.p. on defense then you're not doing enough no mention on russian lawmakers and their move to repeal permission to deploy troops in ukraine in a move to support peace efforts nato did however announce they would not take final steps to open a road map for membership for georgia joining us in the now tonight is professor ronald suny from berlin thanks for being with us what do you make of the u.s.

pushing for european nato partners to cough up more money for defense just a day after president putin withdrew his right to use the military in ukraine. i would get too excited about it this is an old. story the united states has been asking europe particularly germany to think a new way about european defense and to contribute more they've actually used phrases like you're not pulling your own weight you're not doing enough etc so this comes at it in are an awkward time because it follows president putin's effort to use to lessen the tensions but it's not an unfamiliar things even to states for a very long time that has been disturbed by the fact that it's carrying the military ball in europe and not the local sings why does the united states need such strong security in europe so far away from its borders. the united states is

a country the most powerful country in the world today a country that is more powerful than any country in the history of our globe it's a country driven unfortunately in its foreign policies by fear fear seems to be the dominant motivation there imagined enemies they consider them real enemies their wars without their terrorists and of course the world is a dangerous place and any real politic politician in the world who has to estimate that in fact there are real dangers out there and sometimes they exaggerate those dangers at the moment the real dangers are not in europe particularly in ukraine is a serious issue i don't want to little doubt but the most difficult this is of course are in the middle east in syria and iraq at the moment nato announced that it will not approve a formal step for georgia's roadmap into the alliance at least for now is this something that russian see as a concession. that is that also is not particularly new but it's

a good thing that it's happened and it's a gesture in the right direction you know it seems to me that both sides of the russia and the west are moving with little steps trying to move away from what could become extremely difficult and dangerous problem and it could lead to a really bloody conflict so this for a long time you know when the united states ever since i'd say the august war of two thousand and eight and made it clear that nate nato is not a real option for georgia and by the way for ukraine either and that i think is confirmed and most countries realize that that's not going to happen there's a different kind of struggle over ukraine it is which camp we'll ukraine fall into or be closer to europe in the west or really. more weeks of russia or in my opinion

hopefully will remain more between the two the kind of neutral stance that ronald reagan professor of social and political history at the university of michigan with us tonight in the now from berlin thanks so much my pleasure well outrage is mounting over the sentencing of al jazeera journalists who were sentenced to seven years in prison by a court in egypt journalists around the world are sending a message of solidarity that reporting is not a crime the b.b.c. organized this silent protest of what is an unacceptable move by cairo only the b.b.c. al-jazeera and most of the global media family remain silent about journalists killed in ukraine during kaos military campaign.

local u.s. police departments are militarizing this is not news but a new report by the american civil liberties union back it up it found that the use of war equipment and tactics are soaring and that seven civilians and forty six people have been injured in swat raids since twenty ten. now the survey only covers a small part of what is a growing police problem in fact a.c.l.u. in one state is suing a local swat team for refusing to release records here's what they did find from their research almost eighty percent were to serve a search warrant that means that eight out of ten raids were not to apprehend a school shooter or hostage taker armed criminal by breaking down doors in the

middle of the night looking for suspected criminals just seven percent of raids were for hostage barricade or active shooter scenarios about those criminals sixty two percent of the race were to conduct searches for drugs and over thirty percent no contraband of any kind was found plus want tactics were disproportionately used on african americans well it's not just minorities are minor drug offenders who are victims of this brutal trend last month a swat team blew a hole in this baby's chest will come. on is not yet two years old a flash bang grenade was thrown and landed in his crib he's fighting for his life still covered in burns with a wound that exposes his ribs. well this want to him was looking for drugs which they never found the family member they were looking for doesn't even live in the

same house that's according to the toddler's parents who by the way are demanding a federal investigation but few victims have seen justice to reka wilson wasn't a suspect but she died when swat officers broke down her door and opened fire she was holding her one year old son the boy was injured but did survive the teams looking for her boyfriend on suspicion of drug dealing no knowing there would likely be a pregnant woman inside a swat team through a flash bang grenade after breaking down the door to serve a search warrant in a drug case no injuries were reported here that wasn't the case for you restamp a sixty eight year old who was shot while following orders to lay down on the floor when an officer's gun discharged stamp wasn't a suspect his girlfriend's son was on suspicion of selling drugs only he was arrested outside the house just minutes before the raid but the team decided to go in anyway joining us in the now tonight is marcus coleman he's the spokesperson for

the family of the toddler who was seriously injured by a swat team. grenade in may thanks for being with us it seems to be one of the problems here is that tactics that are meant for the battlefield are being used to serve search warrants mostly and in many cases on suspicions of drug crimes. tell us more about the case that you're representing. well the film of. at the time was an eighteen month though since this tragedy is happening has turned nineteen months an awesome awesome srong little boy. i was listening to some of the news coverage as i was awaiting and you know there was a no knock warrant that was served on this household this family was visiting from wisconsin they had actually lost a home as far as the trailer they were living in they had burned to the ground in wisconsin which was their reason for their brief stay in habersham county georgia.

this home with a no knock warrant was served i want to make sure it's clear to the audience that this family of six there are also three little girls ages seven five and three of course mother and father and the young at that point in time eighteen month old they stay in a renovated room it would be the equivalent of a garage being renovated in order to have a living d.n.a. area you know well this flash grenade was tossed into a room of four small children the tragedy of course was that it landed in the play piano bowls of on but it was four small children that were living in this space where this explosive device was thrown there have been reports that there was no way to know that there were young children in this household that is totally false the door that was used for in sri not even two feet from this door was

a minivan the folds of on family here in the states i'm not sure it works there but there are stickers which are basically stick me and figures that plenty of people here in the states used to show a mother father in however many small children that you have to represent the family that man collage will. in the back window but even more so there were four car seats located in this minivan list and two feet away from the door best not to mention this family had been there for almost two months the children had been playing in the front yard any good policing any due diligence of police work would reveal that there were small children in this home how do you respond to reports that there was information that the swat team had that someone could have been armed with in the house well that's already been rebutted the person that they were looking for is

a that was the son of the home owner he had been out of that home for a couple of months prior to this raid it was documented that there was a robbery that took place at this home over a year ago and that robbery the actual suspect they were looking for was the victim and the robbers were the ones that had these heavily or that were heavily armed and had these assault rifles initially it was reported that the actual suspect was the owner of these rifles but i have to thank some local news networks here that were able to uncover that fallacy this guy was the owner of a small caliber twenty two pistol he had no how weapon assault rifles whatsoever so just a fallacy in. what this raid and the situation with the family that you're representing say about the american police system about militarization who exactly are they

arming up against. well you know this is one of the major days this is not my first case unfortunately that i've dealt with several years ago in two thousand and seven there was a case that caught national news with a ninety two year old african-american woman by the name of kathryn johnston where a no knock warrant was served on her at her residence and she fired a warning shot in fear and she lived in a bad area in fear that of course the whole was breaking into a home she was riddled with bullets in to make matters worse there was a cover up with basically planting evidence in her home there are several in labs the police department officers i explained to fartman officers who in jail at this point in time behind that we find statistically it was so thankful for the a.c.l.u. who actually wanted their national members came out to a rally that we had a couple of weeks ago in the county of have a sham right before the completion of their report but we find statistically that

people of color and people in low income areas and communities get dealt with this kind of blunt force if you're in any influential community or if you have any influence personally you tend to get a knock at the door are even a courtesy call same surrender so we really view this as the tipping point with these tragedies that have happened all across the nation but to here in georgia on two opposite into elements of the spectrum african-american ninety two year old female caucasian in the ways in eighteen month old little baby boy we think this is the turning point for provisions to be included in implemented into the use of attaining no knock warrants let alone the use of class done grenades well that's certainly how this a.c.l.u. report will at least make a dent in some of the statistics marcus coleman spokesperson for the phone seven family thanks so much for joining us and then now well thank you for governor. when

we come back a look at why green peace is not so green after all stay in the now. i'm out to martin the stories we cover here not going here in iraq other big story the pastor at life same time there's a reason they don't want him to. point that. out now let's break the set. there's a media leave us so we leave the media. by the sea bush and secure the place your party there's a bill. for shoes that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politicking only on our t.v. . q train and the prospects of

peace in preliminary talks of a limited nature are underway to avoid an all out civil war though it remains to be seen whether the regime in kevin seriously to date one thing is certain violence phoney divides ukraine. choose your language. of holy week over the influential they still sometimes. choose to use the consensus you can. choose to get to use the degrade to. choose the stories that impact your life choose the access to your often. your friends post a photo from a vacation you can't afford college you different. the boss repeats the same old joke of course you like. your ex-girlfriend still tense

tear jerking poetry keep. norrish. we post only what really matters i don't do your facebook you street. libyans are electing a new parliament today not sure it's a decisive day since only around a quarter of the population have registered to vote and the country is in chaos since the toppling of moammar gadhafi in libya has been on a leadership merry go round swapping one head of state for another five leaders in the last two years here's our chance paula slater with more on why. it was a time when david cameron and his allies paraded the libyan revolution as a win for western democracy very. soon your courage i don't know you are proud

of the role that we played to health we know this was your revolution from your bravery a time when tony blair's handshake with colonel gadhafi was conveniently forgotten and maybe now the british prime minister in my twenty fifth get that the libyan democratic project did not turn out quite as planned the method libya is. are and the violence state was political stability. our internal security for its people always. security in its war dose the point of entry election is underway but the hand of the op seems very far away two months ago parliament was overrun by gunmen jihadists militias and gangsters have taken over the streets as the climate of fear intensifies a growing number of libyans look to general relief or have tar as they say via his supporters see him as the only man capable of crushing radical armed groups and

building a national army the us excel has promised to rid the country of foreign fighters and with strong links to egypt's new president washington considers him a cia asset but not content with meddling from a far the united states has sparked outrage by seizing a libyan citizen from benghazi but i think that america came in and kidnapped a person we might have different opinions about him all of this is a libyan citizen no matter who prays they came in and kidnap someone from galaxy. but america's saying nothing america is not responsible for what happened in libya nor is it responsible for what's happening in iraq today western powers were quick to praise themselves for their initial if it's in libya and just as fast to disavow all this. and civility in being gone see the bum don't lose from general have times lost offensive to small green to be unselfish treated but feel powerless even with voting slips in the hands the last time they had of evolution he did not to not sue

will. well you might imagine this is not playing out well for libya's economy which was among the strongest in the region before nato bombed out gadaffi oil production has dropped sharply and is so far failed to reach pre-revolutionary levels g.d.p. that didn't rise but it's back down now reported levels of oil output and fears of another civil war way to go nato. greenpeace wants to curb carbon emissions by cutting down air travel all right but it's just a drop in the ocean to save mother earth but every effort counts but the company's executive pascal frosting apparently doesn't live by this principle on the contrary he lives eight hundred kilometers away from his office in amsterdam and says he has

no other option but to take a plane to work this means over seven tons of carbon dioxide emissions equivalent to three tons of recycled waste or one household and you will elect tricity consumption that's not mentioning the flight tickets the company pays for here's what ryan holland who wrote a book about greenpeace told us about the policies. most observers would probably say that it's hypocritical is especially when you hear executives defending it as as a compromise between you know the needs of the business and impacting the environment which is basically exactly what greenpeace asked others not to do but i assume that what people are upset about is greenpeace is very public about condemning other people for their decisions and their you know sort of environmental impact and then in private or behind closed doors is sort of doing whatever the person that we think is best or personally benefits them and that's where you see charges of obviously of piracy you know greenpeace because it has

a noble mission or because they seem to have a noble mission they are somehow. you know above the rules or can do whatever they think is right and that kind of relativity creates the problems like we're talking about now. but through the sound to excess of everybody flies right i thought that he was taking round trips five days a week it's two times a month as far as we know pretty grain but this is just black according to the guardian a greenpeace financial employee took the company's money and gambled on foreign exchange market he bet on the euro lost more than five million dollars who bets on a we hear oh well about funny since the company is budget is made up of public donations shame on you greenpeace here's some things you might not know about the environmental and geo the organization was created in the late sixty's in the us as a movement that wanted to stop america's nuclear testing well it's since been

caught lying royal dutch shell had to spend lots of money to dismantle an oil platform all because greenpeace falsified data to prove that the cheaper method was dangerous. greenpeace also made a list of the greenest electronic producers without full scale research and it proved to be made up at least according to apple thanks google french intelligence targeted greenpeace and blew of their ship to prevent an anti nuclear campaign and when greenpeace became too much of a hassle for us oil tycoon exxon mobil they sent auditors after the and geo were both prime minister is embarrassed and wants an immediate confidence vote for his government which hasn't been behaving very well lately and the main reason behind the scandal is foreign minister course ski and his dirty mouth i already told you about his comments concerning the white house well there's more he's

clearly unhappy with u.k.'s prime minister and how he deals with the euro skeptics cameron's yielded to their pressure so as to course he instead of telling them to eff off and it's not the first time cameron's eft up he just doesn't get it according to the f.m. and this is driving sir course keep crazy downing street said that the prime minister doesn't care and he will continue to do what he's doing in other words eff off well we have no privacy just standing here holding my phone someone can check my text messages or e-mails how you might ask new technology allows direct access to your devices and in fact your inside the. inside an i phone for instance it can access and activate all of the following why fine email as some of us visited you you or elles address books call

history notes virtually everything. well the saudi government reportedly uses it already to spy on shia citizens and i'm sure they're not the only ones it's pretty scary joining me live is. the principle security researcher for the antivirus kaspersky lab thanks so much for being with us does it really mean that anyone can hack my phone and check my e-mail switch on my camera so to say. for sure a very. sophisticated malware that was created specially for law enforcement is. right now able to you know side if they inject it on the machine on the mac computer and then after that for the phones the spot forms from paul from droids and so on and so on if they will because next to this infected computers the malware would be you know jumped in these phones and then as you say the short

messages e-mails even some functions like a life microphone that would allow a tech is to listen to everything what is going on around the victim will be able to that tell me what can i do to protect myself from these sorts of threats. well so. they're way off infection their fall in this is as i said through the infected computers like laptops and windows oh my base computers so that's why you would definitely need to be protected on these big you know and for me the desktop computers and then plus of course some limits for example i phones i really got the good protection from the able and that's why i talk it's you know these should jailbreak the i phone before inject them miles away

and of course that can be downside if they buy and tackiest but eve the phone. with the last official of yes eve the reason to back up just with breasts action with possible protection and i usually get the passport or the fingerprints of the form and then you can be a preachy safe for maybe a full for one month until i take your slow release the bad jail break which you didn't see for the i phones during the you know security conference called black hat so to all the time this is like. goldman recalled one rules to protect the phone and desktop. rights are going to live on of principle security researcher at conspiracy lab trying to give us some hands on how to keep what we have left of our privacy thanks so much for being in the now.
