the capital abu dhabi. we'll show you a picture.the most advanced spy technologies that the americans have. now it's unclear exactly what happened to the drone and who may get ahold of the technology if indeed this happened. analysts we talked to tonight including robin mills say oil prices could go $150 or $200 a barrel if there's a disruption in oil supply. syria agreed today to allow arab league observers into the country, but demanded sanctions be dropped in exchange. this is an interesting story because sources here say a lot of arab governments are going along with the sanctions because they think they have because the united states wants them to and the international community wants them to. on the side they call the assad regime and say we'll keep doing business as usual. it's interesting to see how it plays out. more than 4,000 have died in the protests. number three, it is post office. we could see massive job cuts, up to 28,000 in part due to cost-reducing measures which might include getting rid of next day delivery in s

in the uae, we met with the crown prince of abu dhabi -- this was the third time i'd been to abu dhabi, actually, as secretary -- we reached a similarly mutual beneficial set of agreements. as in doha, we agreed to place our customs and immigration officers at abu dhabi airport to advise emirati law enforcement officials about the admissibility of passengers. we also signed a letter of intent to commence the process of establishing preclearance in abu dhabi. preclearance allows passengers and their luggage heading to the united states to be fully screened by our customs and immigration officials before boarding the plane in their country of origin, allowing us effectively to push our borders outward while facilitating a more beneficial customer and traveler experience. the issues tackled in these sorts of meetings obviously represent only a fraction of the work we do overseas. i haven't talked about the work we're doing on cybersecurity, on human trafficking, on emergency response, our extensive collaboration with a number of countries, from mexico to india, but i think the important c

abu ghraib was not the only violation and also not the first time u.s. troops -- u.s.cluded this kind of torture. if we look at vietnam and the tiger cages that we approved of. there's a long history, infamous history in the u.s. military but it is an important point. i'm curious. you said you don't think any soldier in uniform, particularly ranking soldiers have the right or should use any right to challenge publicly the political positions. but if you saw the geneva conventions being abandoned, didn't you have an obligation to make the question of the geneva conventions a much higher priority and even to raise, even if it was in a classified session of a congressional hearing f you didn't feel you could do it publicly, wasn't that partly your obligation at that time? i mean, i understand you're saying it now. that's useful. but, frankly, it might have been more useful when you were in a position to do something about it. >> no, wait a minute. this kind of criticism is typically what comes from people that are not really informed as to what happened. i think if you --

such an cares of the capital punishment case against me abu jamal has finally come to an end he will now serve a life sentence in prison prosecutors call off their attempts of sentencing him to death after if thirty year high profile battle surrounding his case abu jamal a former journalist was convicted of fatally shooting police officer daniel faulkner during a traffic stop in philadelphia back in one thousand nine hundred one the former black panther claims he's the victim of a racist legal system and the case has made him an international cost celebrity of the decision comes two days before the thirtieth anniversary of the murder of officer daniel faulkner was originally sentenced to death his murder conviction was upheld through years of appeals but in two thousand and eight the federal appeals court ordered a new sentencing hearing on the grounds that the instructions given to the jury were potentially misleading after the u.s. supreme court declined to weigh in two months ago prosecutors were forced to decide whether to pursue the death penalty again or accept a life sentence

prosecutors in philadelphia have dropped their long-running fight to execute mumia abu jamal. black panther was sentenced to death for murdering a white police officer, daniel faulkner, during a traffic stop. abu jamal maintained he was a victim of racism and in 2008 a federal appeals court ordered a new sentencing hear. today, the district attorney said he wants to avoid more years of appeals. >> there's never been any doubt in my mind that mumia abu jamal shot and killed officer faulkner. and i believe that the appropriate sentence was handed down by the jury of his peers in 1982. while abu jamal will no longer be facing the death penalty, he will remain behind bars for the rest of his life. and that is where he belongs. >> reporter: over the years, a free mumia movement has grown up around abu ya ja mall, including dozens of celebrities, amnesty international and supporters worldwide. in russia, anger over last sunday's parliamentary elections led to a third night of unrest. police detained scores of demonstrators in moscow as several hundred people protested. they condemn

you know that the supporters of mumia abu-jamal says he was treated unfairly. the jury which was all white at the time received misleading information here. so they do not see this case as the widow of officer faulkner or as you see it. >> right. they certainly don't. i noted today, i require a lot of qualifiers to come on the program. there are two issues here. one is the question of guilt or innocence. and the second is the question of sentencing. just so your viewers are clear, what has been determined today is only that there will now be a change in sentencing. the widow had a very difficult decision. it was technically the decision of the d.a. seth williams. but he yielded to her judgment and she said at this point, it is futile. because if we go back through a new sentencing process, and again it ends up in the court system, it is the judiciary that has stood in the way of the carrying out of the sentence. but the underlying conviction does not change, isn't going to be altered. that's why i strongly disagree with bishop desmond tutu. >> i had to ask you,

i was at abu ghraib for about six months total of interrogation time. when i wasn't at the interrogation center when i was on my free time i spent a lot of time in the chapel praying. most interrogating schoolboys young fathers the moms average people taken off the streets and put into my interrogation booth. yeah finally five months into my time at abu ghraib i had an interrogation with a man who was a self-proclaimed jihadist. he told me that he had a certain peace because of his faith in islam. that if it was the will of god for him to stay in prison. and if he never was released it would be ok with that and he challenged me wondering if i had that same kind of peace in my life. wondering if i had the same kind of spiritual centered this to take that kind of fate. he then threw talking about jesus that i wasn't fulfilling the call to turn the other cheek to love one's enemies. it took a little bit offense to this comment. because it came from the mouth of a self-proclaimed geologist who told me that he would kill me if he had the chance . at somethin

the lawsuit alleges bright-abu first assaulted one of the victims in september 2010. and even after that student reported the harassment to staff members, bright-abu continued to prey upon students for another seven months. >> he then told me to take off my clothes. asked me to kiss him. he reached over to me and hugged me and was rubbing against me. he had an erection. at that point, i pushed him away and sat down and then told me to sit on him. that he wanted to touch me and just -- it went on and on. >> in april, two of the victims reported bright-abu leading to his arrest and a sexual abuse conviction. he was sentenced to 120 days in jail and now under two years supervised probation. he has been fired from howard. >>> the man accused of firing shots at the pentagon will remain behind bars pending trial. that's the ruling from an alexandria judge who just wrapped up a hearing in the case of yonathan melaku. prosecutors say evidence links the 23-year-old to a series of shootings in october of last year. the targets included the pentagon and the marine corps museum i
