i would like to acknowledge mr. mark -- he was on target. we agree with the budget analyst's recommendation of 446,354 be allocated from salaries to overtime. again to remind you that this was not a request for additional funding, simply a reallocation within what we were budgeted for in 12-13. and the final to that is for the record of the time we had concerns and stated that clearly in the committee in april. the analysis we felt again at a time was low on the pay period data reflects why we were concerned so at this point we would be in agreement to accept the recommendation which we had brought before you in april. thank you. >> supervisor farrell: thank you chief. mr. rose, i believe you have a report on item number two. >> mr. rose: mr. chairman the numbers of the committee on page 14-15 of the report we have an analysis of this request for reallocation for overtime as i understand it the chief concurs with our recommended reduction of 19,894 from 466,248 to 446,354. and we recommend that be approved as amended. >> supervisor farrell:

mr. mark spencer: does the prime minister welcome last friday's vote to give the british people a say on their relationship with europe -- a vote with a stark contrast, in that those in the labour party chose to stay away and squabble with themselves over fixing within the unions? the prime minister: i congratulate my honorable friend the member for stockton south on how he presented his bill on a referendum in the european union. there was unanimous support on this side of the house from the conservative party. what was noticeable is that although there was a 19-page briefing from the labour party like every other bit of paper nowadays, we find it lying around the house of commons -- labour members could not make up their mind which way to vote. nic dakin: does the prime minister agree with a former conservative treasurer that the money received from asil nadir is tainted and that the conservatives have a moral duty to give it back? when will he return that money? the prime minister: the hono

mr. parks, defense attorney mark o'mara said this.he person who decided this was going to be a violent event and not go home was trayvon martin. so the young man who arrived with skittles is the one who decides to escalate this confrontation to violence as opposed to the man who's armed with a lethal weapon, according to mr. o'mara. >> well, i think without question, we found out in this case that mark o'mara has chosen to give you bits and pieces of the case rather than the whole story. and i think john guy and bernie said it best in the course of their closing. this case is about the full story. and it's important that it be judged by the full story. so unlike what we've seen throughout this journey, where the defense has tried to give you bits and pieces of the information at various times, we now see that once you see the full story and see the mind set, because george zimmerman mind set becomes very important as he got out of the car about the things that he said. as you recall, those are the first things that john guy said at th

mr. zimmerman. >> mark, in terms of the trial in totality, the general legal view seems to be that the case with the prosecution, but the main to present and manslaughter. >> absolutely. >> the problem with that is because zimmerman is considered for manslaughter could get time. >> not in light of the events. we're not talking about something unavoidable for a momentary slip of judgment but a vigilante who pursue add young man when being told to stand down by police. this is someone with a record of just basically harassing anyone that came in the neighborhood who he thought didn't belong which is dangerous and loaded. >> let me ask you this, if we assume what he say social security right and dr. di maio today was pretty compelling in his testimony, so if you assume that george zimmerman is on the floor, trayvon martin is on top of him and already punched him hard in the head and banged him perhaps six times in the concrete causing injuries -- and cause me, causing injuries to the back of his head and to his nose. if we assume that's correct. >> right. >> and we assume he was stunned, if th

mr. zimmerman. attorney mark o'mara questioned the medical examiner on whether mr. zimmerman may have been hit more than once. >> i think he used a suggestion that if you hit yourself in the nose that it could be all one shot, correct? >> one blow. >> correct. >> you're not certainly suggesting that it was only one blow, correct? >> no, but with. >> he gets hit in the nose like this, just like that, but it does not go up here. so here is the first shot, and here is the second shot. how many is that? >> two. >> consistent with that picture? >> it could be. >> clearly, you don't know how mr. zimmerman was hit by mr. martin, correct? >> correct. >> so you're saying it's consistent with one, potentially, yes? >> yes. >> and it also is consistent with two, correct? >> if the way it was portrayed, yes. >> which you don't know. >> correct. >> so could you just say is it consistent with two as well? >> it could be, yes. >> mr. zimmerman has plead not guilty and claims he shot trayvon martin in self-defense. these questions about his injuries lie at the heart of this case. w

enormous sources and more analysis on this let's now talk to historian and middle east expert mark almond mr armin saying you very much indeed for joining us now so israel says of the operations all to prevent weapons from reaching the has bill are. taken care of its national security be justified here. well israel has an interest in preventing hezbollah getting the weapons but the broader context is not just syria but also we're wrong and i think that's where turkey is caught in the could place because turkey as your viewers have been hearing is a historical military ally of israel with a lot of cooperation between the turkish military in the israelis but it also is a largely islamic country and it's also borders iran and it could be a conduit for a potential strike into iran through its own aspace that would make it much more difficult for the iranians to detect something coming from israel as say the israelis worry that missiles sent from iran to hezbollah vod syria could be used as a revenge attack if they were to launch the much discussed preemptive strikes try not counter iranian nucle

mr. zimmerman, mark o'mara or the court for this to happen like this right now. i need time to sort this out if the court is going to give any consideration to this remarkable suggestion by the state that somehow third-degree murder based upon chapter 827 violation in the child of these statutes could somehow when trayvon martin is shot straddling george zimmerman, pummeling him that somehow george zimmerman was engaged in child abuse. martha: quite a moment. he is arguing that the lesser charges are a scramble to come up with alternatives for this jury because perhaps they feel they have not reached the verdict set upon them in the second degree murder charge. what do you think? >> the happen sandbagged honestly because it was well known the prosecution was going to seek lesser included. we knew which ones they were, this is a surprise and the defense is saying wait a minute, we never knew for one moment they were going to argue i third-degree murder charge based on child abuse because his under 18. as i read the statute, don west has probably not had a chance t

mr. zimmerman and mark o'mara said himself this trial is proceeding quickly but the question for the martinamily is whether or not it's going especially well and whether the prosecution needs to call trayvon's mother sybrina fulton to say whether or not that's martin's voice on the recording. there were thoughts the prosecution would call sybrina fulton to testify. do you expect she will take the stand when court resumes friday? >> anderson, this is a strong possibility she will take the stand. >> what about trayvon martin's brother. there is also some who expect maybe he would be asked to testify, as well? >> a very strong possibility that he will testify. >> how important to the prosecution's case do you think their testimony is, in terms of identifying whose voice it is on that 911 call? >> well, they call them to the stand, i would assume that it is a -- that's very important to their case, however, i'm not the lawyer trying the case so i'll have to defer to whatever their strategy is. if they call them, i would suspect they expect to get very strong testimony from them in this case. >>

mr. lott question mark -- mr. lott?o comment on the second one first, every place in the world that has banned guns, we see an increase in murder rates. it is not just washington, d.c., and chicago, which a lot of americans aren't familiar with, whether it is -- are familiar with, but whether it is britain see whoca, you have to obeys the laws, and when you disarm them relative to easier.s, you make it on the issue of open and concealed carry, here is the deal. i think there is generally much larger benefits from having concealed carry because a criminal does not know until they attack someone if the person will be able to defend themselves. gun people who do not own a benefit because it creates a in the mind of a criminal. somebody that wears an open carry gun, they might personally benefit, but if we had that provision, the criminal would know somebody else -- here is one way to think about it. would you put a sign in front of your home that says your home is a gun-free zone? presumably, nobody would do that because y

mr. zimmerman and mark o'mara said himself this trial is proceeding quickly but the question for the martin whether or not it's going especially well and whether the prosecution needs to call trayvon's mother sybrina fulton to say whether or not that's martin's voice on the recording. there were thoughts the prosecution would call sybrina fulton to testify. do you expect she will take the stand when court resumes friday? >> anderson, this is a strong possibility she will take the stand. >> what about trayvon martin's brother. there is also some who expect maybe he would be asked to testify, as well? >> a very strong possibility that he will testify. >> how important to the prosecution's case do you think their testimony is, in terms of identifying whose voice it is on that 911 call? >> well, they call them to the stand, i would assume that it is a -- that's very important to their case, however, i'm not the lawyer trying the case so i'll have to defer to whatever their strategy is. if they call them, i would suspect they expect to get very strong testimony from them in this case. >> the sta

zimmerman was down on the ground and trayvon martin, as i think effectively demonstrated by mark o'mara was banging mr. zimmerman's head against the ground, i think the jurors probably asked themselves, what would i have done in that situation? what would i have done to protect myself? for better or worse, george zimmerman had a gun. that's a separate debate. but in light of the fact i think the jurors found that mr. zimmerman had a reasonable fear for his life. he took out his gun and tragically, tragically shot mr. martin, but what the jurors did, i think, is they separated that tragedy and their emotion from mr. zimmerman's state of mind. arfel, this was never a who done it. we all know that george zimmerman killed trayvon martin, but at the end of the day it came down to what mr. zimmerman's state of mind was, and the jurors found out that he had an innocent state of mind in the sense that he wasn't acting with a depraved heart and he was acting reasonably. >> and, matt through -- >> of course, their view -- i'm sorry. >> no. finish your thought. i apologize. >> i was simply going to say, and then

jeffries: to close us out in the remaining time we have, mr. mark veasey from dallas who has tone a tremendous job as a member of the freshman class. mr. veasey: thank you, congressman jeffries, i appreciate you letting me talk about this important topic. we need to talk more about equality and have a conversation onries and injustice in this country. i liked a lot what representative clarking your colleague from new york, when she talked about the over -enforcement of african-american males particularly when it comes to stop and frisk and other members that talked a lot about the verdict in the trayvon martin trial that really, real dihi did discourage a lot of people. that was starting to gain hope in our criminal justice system, thought things were getting better. and i'm concerned about what's going on right now with voting because in my home state of texas, there's been so many laws that have been enacted, laws that have been attempted to be enacted that would scale back many of the gains that african-americans have made when it comes to exerci

not such marks on mr. martin. there is no witness that says that mr. martin was below. the evidence shows that mr. zimmerman was below and was the victim of the pummelling. >> one last word from valerie, if i can. the standard of proof is on the prosecution in this case. after the testimony of that one eyewitness last week, that is a very high bar to overcome at this point, in terms of reasonable doubt. what is the consensus among those in the courtroom? >> i think the consensus right now is the prosecutions have a lot of work to do ahead of them, also, going back to him, george zimmerman changing his story, he said in recordings, i have a bad memory and by the way, when he did say that, tracy martin, trayvon martin's father, shaking his head like that. but he said i do have a bad memory and some of the stories do keep on changing. >> we're looking at small details here and i think the big picture is an eyewitness, ground and pound, fists going down. that's hard to overcome. >> you have to look at it together. no witness corroborates that his head was pummeled into the

mark o'mara or mr. west?one of the best things the defense is going for is the judge wouldn't let them introduce the animation of what they said happened but said they can use it in closing arguments for illustrative purposes. i think they are going to play that for the jury. i think that puts them right on the scene. i think the defense is in a really strong position. the defense will have a chance tomorrow which is really good. >> i have been watching you straight through this trial. you're doing a great job. thank you very much for joining us. i will see you on "the five." we will have a little bit of fun. see you in a couple of minutes. >>> hello. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five"." >>> we will celebrate our two-year anniversary! a very dramatic day in court as the prosecution delivered the closing arguments in the george zimmerman murder trial. here is some of what the jury heard earlier. >> a teenager is dead. he is dead through no faul

mr. snowden's revelations rereveal. >> mark, one of the things that comes up is when you look at the polling data -- and it's hard to tell whether this is because of a lack of information or part of a post 9/11 sentiment. aside from the most vociferous voices in the privacy and civil liberties community the numbers show basic majority of americans, not a vast majority but the tilt is there, say i'm not as upset about this as everybody who is screaming about it. why do you think that is? >> well, let me say i read these polls closely. almost every question asks the american public are you prepared to sacrifice some privacy to prevent against future terrorist acts? i would probably say yes no that but that in fact is not what the government program is about. it is far more expansive. it is far less focused and intrusions are much greater so i think we need a more informed public debate and that only happens, for example, when you make public the legal theories and the authorities and you show the american public how much of their personal information is now in possession of the national securi
