In order to win and succeed in anything everybody gets tired. It is quite normal that the state, the army get tired but the word defeat does not exist in our dictionary nor in the language of the syrian armed forces.

There was a vigil where she died and hundreds attended her funeral in lyle, illinois, on saturday. They called for a Justice Department investigation into the 28yearolds death. Officials say that she committed suicide in jail days after being arrested for a minor traffic violation. We spoke with Sandra Blands sister and the bland family attorney said that the facts in this case dont seem to add up. All we have to do is look at the video and its very easy to see that she was completely unfairly treated. I mean, there was an ask that he issued. He asked her to put out a cigarette. She said i dont see why itch to put out my cigarette he respond bid opening her door and force herring to get out. Requiring her to get out. I think the reality of that is that it was not appropriate. I think that everyone can clearly see that thats the case. The other part of it is that frankly speaking i do agree that when you got local and state and Even National leaders that are able to speak to the fact that this is just an example of a long history of instances where africanamericans have been targeted and mistreated by police you know, i think that its very clear that there is some concerns that we as a nation have to address. I think its because she didnt signal properly, i think it was because he was unpoll jetcally assertive of what she knew to be true in terms of asserting her rights. I think the timeliness of which the information trickled out last week, i will be frank, it was in poor taste that she was so close to her homecoming service, and in large diversion method to avoid the true issues here, which is that there is a high level of inconsistency in the information that weve received to date regarding this case which in turn impacts our strong desire to want to have the department of justice involved. Were clearly and unfortunately not receiving unbiased information. And so to have state centers be at her Homecoming Services to say we do have strong cause for concern. Dick durbin has sent a letter to doj saying you have to get involved with this. To put the families at ease that were getting a full and fair investigation.

Preparing for change, the boy scouts of america is set to end its blanket ban on gay scout leaders but it may not stop all troops. And the state Department Reveal which countries have not doing enough to stop smuggling. Major changes expected for the boy scouts of america. Theyre expected to lift the longstanding ban against openly gay scout leaders. Its an issue that has divided the scouting world for some time time. The boy scouts of america is an organization with a long history incorporateed in 1910. Since that time generations of Young Americans have learned outdoor skills, citizenship and much more from scouting. But these kids and their leaders have had a tough year. Their charter was revoked because one of their leaders is openly gay. Jeffy mcgrath said that hes not sure at this point if his local troop would ever be welcomed back in the national organization. Some of the kids are hoping to earn the eagle badge which would give them advantageous promotion upon enlistment in the military. Not knowing or hearing anything back is naturally of concern. Now the boy scouts of america are set to ratify some changes in the way they do business allowing local councils to make decisions on who the scout masters are. How will this effect this troop and what will it mean for scouting in general across america . Were going to find out much more tonight. Eagle scout zach wall told our Randall Pinkston will likely show how much the organization has evolved. The discriminations and destructive message to kids gay and straight has no place in scouting. Looking at the proposed policy change the board has not yet approved this change. Were waiting on pins and needles for this decision. This will make sure that there is less discrimination taking place in boy scouts and in so far that that is the case were proud that the boy scouts have taken this step. Do you have the number of those who have been excluded and what kind of change in membership have you seen in boy scouts. Unfortunately we dont have firm polling on anything about the number of gays participating in scout organize who were kept out because of the ban. We do know from anecdoteal experiences that there are closeted gays involved in scouting and at least 600,000 kids are being kept out of the organization by their parents because of the ban on gay members in the boy scouts. These are straight parents who are allyies of the Lgbt Community and want to show solidarity and hopefully this policy will bring kids back into scouter or into scouting for the first time. What weve seen from the dale decision is that steady decline from the boy scouts. Im not under any illusions that this policy change will change that overnight. I dont think it will, but hopefully that the boy scouts as an organization will be looking forward, not back. Zach wahls speaking earlier with Randall Pinkston. Companies will announce their support of a climate deal. Theyll join secretary of state john kerry at the white house. Firms will pledge 140 million 140 billion in low carbon initiatives.

Denise runs an organization that makes sure that people can afford utilities. I think they know their bills are getting paid and when they are not paid they shut off services. I dont know that they understand what families have to do. To survive. Cyber Security Experts said that its not worth it to Utility Companies to pay more on detailed background checks on every new client because bills are only a few hundreds dollars. There is a costrisk analysis whether they want to dig deeper to see if the social matches up with the age of the applicant. And in the meantime the person bearing that risk is the child. The child is always at risk. Social security numbers are sort of accidental national i. D. They were designed to track wages for Retirement Benefits not bio graphical information. Al jazeera contacted all three Credit Rating agencyies. Equifax was the only to respond. [ baby crying. That means a child born right now could have a light or gas bill put in their name in a few weeks. Victims by theft dont have to pay bills in their name. But child victim dont see it that way. I was too young. Clearly this was not me. Because the name on the bill was me. And it was done to help me family.

The smithsonian has successfully raised 500,000 to restore the base suit that kneel armstrong wore when he walked on the room. It was a technical logical technological march valley for its time. With rubber joints and metal rinks to to connect to gloves and helmets. When all suited up, an astronaut could spend six hours on the surface of the moon. The entire suit along with the support backpack weighed about 200 pounds. But because of the moons gravity it only felt like it weighed 33 pounds on the moon. Later versions of the suit used on the last three moon landings increased the amount of time people could spend on the moons surface. Each was custom fitted and three were required for each astronaut astronaut. Museum replicas can be sold on ebay going for 8,000 to 10,000. Smithsonian hopes to raise another hundred thousand dollars to renovate the suit alan shepard wore. When asked what it was like, he said you can think those in the Apollo Mission for the suits they have today. The american suits were direct revolutions. The only big difference is that the suits that i wore were not made to beyou could not walk. The legs were not designed so you could walk on a planetary surface. But the backpacks the technology inside, the systems were all evolved. We could do six and a half hours in the space suit and weve gone as long as eight hours. Theyve advanced quite a bit. Its a little bit surreal. The space suit as a personal spacecraft because youre self contained. Its maintaining pressure to keep you alive. Oxygen has a thermal control system. Youre very much alone. Youre out there. Youre waving to your buddies three feet away through the back window of the Space Shuttle but youre pretty much on your own. You and your partner out there. Its very physical work. Working against the pressure of the suit. Any time you move your arms or fingers you have to exert energy. Astronauts, we have personal trainers that take us through weight lifting and resistence exercise and aerobic exercise to make sure we have the endurance and strength to do it. Any time you did a spacewalk youre in elevated risk because youre outside in a space suit as opposed in the spacecraft. You worry about leaks, of course if there might an leak at one of the joints where your glove or helmet connects. Little tiny walks can ruin your day, so there is a concern. Fortunately, no, sir astronaut has been hit by any meterroids, so we hope that trend continues. Youre at an elevated risk when youre outside doing the spacewalk. Thanks for watching.
