What can we do for you . And now, bbc world news america. This is bbc world news america, reporting from washington. Im katty kay. It looks like a revenge attack for the death of three israeli youth. Being placed under investigation for alleged corruption. I have never committed an act contrary to the values of the republic or the rule of law. America is out of the world cup but it has found a hero. The goalkeeper tim howard has become an overnight celebrity here. Welcome to our viewers on Public Television in america also around the globe. The longestrunning conflict in the middle east is turning violent again tonight. The kidnapping and murder of a palestinian teenager has prompted clashes in eastern jerusalem. Found burned in a forest. Christian fraser reports now from East Jerusalem. Jerusalem for us, where Israeli Police recovered the remains of a body. A young man who had been beaten a 17yearold palestinian schoolboy that neighbors say was kidnapped by israeli settlers. His home is in East Jerusalem and marks a makeshift frontline in the running battles for israeli soldiers. Inside the house, grieving relatives. Among them, his mother that had the grim task of identifying her son. They told me he was kidnapped on the way to mosque. I kept calling his phone. It was switched off. My son was not answering. Confrontations with soldiers are an everyday part of life. They have seen it many times before. But there is nothing normal in this. Young men risking lives throwing stones in the direction of snipers. It is very bad. There are relatives. Patience is wearing thin on all sides. Suddenly, the house becomes the focus of the sustained israeli assault. Stun grenades and pandemonium. The relatives of the murdered boy take shelter. Eye for an eye mentality that can quickly fire out of control. They feel like their lives are worth less. They condemn and pursue the perpetrator of this crime as they would had it been an israeli child. Earlier in the week, it was an israeli child. Three of them abducted by how maas. The minister told me he says he considers todays murder every bit as important. It changes our country. I would consider it a terrorist attack. A resumption of the peace talks there. The tense standoff continued in eastern jerusalem. Mortars were fired today from the gaza strip. Tomorrow is the funeral. I spoke a short time ago with the president of the American Task force on palestine. Looking at those scenes coming to us from East Jerusalem, it works like where does this go . It depends on the management of this present crisis. It certainly has been heading towards it for some time. It hasnt quite exploded except for a few weeks. If it is not contained by the right words being said by leaders on both sides and the right actions to follow, including legal actions to get to the depths of what happened here the judgments that are implemented, this is where theyve always had suspicions that there best goes unpunished. And if anything happens in the government is that the language . That is bold language to use and also there were good words. There was fighting on the streets of jerusalem. There is anger on both sides. They could not be more devastating to people. Tempers have to down and leadership has to do that. Beyond that, the law has to take its course. What would you like to see the Israeli Security forces doing now . May have accused jewish settlers for this killing. What should be the next step . The israeli side has an obligation to understand the severity of the moment. It has all the ingredients that would inflame people across the land in palestine and would start a multiyear process depending on the behavior and leadership. There has to be a certain degree of understanding that throwing stones at this point in time, reprehensible as it is under the circumstances what exactly do you want the israelis to do . This is how they demonstrate this on the street. To what degree of violence will apply . They will have to be is controlled by their government. Thank you for coming in. The president of france is speaking out after being placed under formal investigation facing accusations that he try to influence the justice system. He denied breaking the law and claimed the french legal system was being used for political purposes. Gavin has this report from paris. It was 2 a. M. After 15 hours of questioning that Nicolas Sarkozy was taken before a judge. The former president of france was brought to this building and placed under formal investigation. Later, he drove to his office with the rest of france knowing he faces charges for trying to obtain inside information on magistrates investigating him over the financing of his election campaigns. An indication of the sensitivity of this, president along the sand president hollande said that mr. Sarkozy should benefit from the presumption of innocence. Sarkozy hit back giving his first major interview in two years. He was clearly furious over the way he had been treated. I am deeply shocked by the length of my detention. Did i really have to go before the judge is at 2 00 in the morning . There was a will to humiliate me. The most serious charge was that the judiciary was politically motivated and out to destroy him. I have to tell the french people that part of this judiciary is being used for political ends. The french need to know this and judge for themselves. Sarkozy denied any wrongdoing but is now mired in legal battles. He is fighting until the bitter end. He has a fermentable machine behind him. He also has a huge legal team and he can rely on a huge network. A current president who is deeply unpopular, in disarray, unemployment is high and the far right out for him. There is no question for him announcing politics so an immense struggle lies ahead. He is challenged the independence of the judiciary. The Prime Minister pointed out today that no one was above the law. Nicolas sarkozy fighting back on french television. Direct flights will soon be subject to increased security measures that was the announcement today from the head of the department of Homeland Security. I am joined by david willis. What is behind this security measure . Members of the Al Qaeda Yemen Branch have joined forces with al qaeda in syria to create this sort of device that could invade existing security measures. There are unconfirmed reports that they were desolated in syria and president obama met with intelligence officials last week to discuss whether to make the situation public and they feel there was sufficient concern to make it public. The director of Homeland Security announcing enhanced security measures at 30 overseas airports with direct flights to the u. S. No particular specific threats but there will be a lot more congestion for people arriving in airports. David, thank you for coming. President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act and called for racial gaps to be closed. The legislation faced huge opposition from those that wanted to keep segregation. That is when the ku klux klan to the streets in protest. White supremacists in the u. S. Have not given up their cause. Alive and well in america today. They may still be around but rallies are not what they used to be. As not to say they are not dangerous. If you support them or simplifies with them, we hate you, too. They show that they can still terrorize. She turned up at a horrifying scene outside the local jewish center. I said, that is my father lying there dead and what is that is my son. What happened. At the doors, there were bullet holes and it hit me. They had been shot. Her father and 14yearold son were killed that day. They were attending a talent show and no doubt the gunman was motivated by hate. A man armed with at least one shotgun was shooting. He had not the slogans. He had never hidden his views before and at one point had been a grand dragon and the ku klux klan. White power. Police say until the shooting, he had not done anything to warrant arrest and had a right to express himself. There are over 650 different white supremacist organizations in the u. S. Civil liberties groups protects their right to exist for some to some extent. This is a huge sign that you see by the road set up by white supremacist. The sheriff says he cant do anything about it because of the right to freedom of speech and expression. I met one of the men helping shape supremacist thinking in the u. S. He said that those of us that werent white were little more than animals and i asked him about recent antisemitic attacks in nearby kansas. Even though the people that we call jews today are the terrorists that will be taken out, it is the angels job and not our jobs. I see them is here to be adversaries, to test us and prove us. The views you talked about her exactly what the shooter talked about. It is true. Some people do realize that. Inciting racial hatred is not a crime. They are under protection by the law and however small the numbers these days, the rhetoric turning to violence, a problem this country is still having to deal with. Staggering views expressed in some groups by white supremacist. So the come onsite program, a project that would make no a proud. The United Nations tried to ensure Health Ministers that the worlds deadliest ever ebola pandemic can be stopped. There have been 759 confirmed or suspected cases in guinea liberia, and syria. Appealing to the Scientific Community to do more to fight the disease. The grim reality of what is now the biggest ever ebola outbreak, this is the body of one of the 99 People Killed by the virus in sierra leone alone. A bullet kills 90 of those infected. There is no treatment or cure. Understandably, people are terrified. That fear is making this crisis worse. Instead of coming forward to areas like this one, families are hiding sick relatives and even the dead. People are also becoming increasingly hostile to medics trying to help. We dont want to go anymore to follow up on contact of patients. It is now urgently necessary. It is an important change of how people understand the disease and behave in the community. That help has not come fast enough. The World Health Organization has sent 150 experts into the infected countries but the outbreak is getting worse. Several months and the epidemic, Health Officials are discussing what needs to happen to end the crisis. They are promising drastic action. That is needed urgently. This virus and the fear that help spread it can finally be brought under control. As you may have just gathered here at bbc world news america we have we are not entirely impartial when it comes to the world cup. He joined millions to we joined millions to cheer on america but we found optimism in the impressive form of the keeper tim howard. I spoke to someone who played for the u. S. At the last world cup. What a performance by tim howard. Is that what you expected . Tim has been worldclass the last 10 years. I dont expect anything less from him. He kept them in the game all tournament. He had a stellar performance and i think the whole world took notice yesterday. There wasnt part of a body that he didnt save a goal with. Used every inch of his body and my heart just sunk at the end of the game for him and the whole country. But mainly for tim because he had such an unbelievable performance and i think he deserved a lot more than that. Most people will recognize that belgium was probably the stronger team. Belgium has a very talented young squad and i think the score line or 21 perhaps do not reflect the game. They had a lot of opportunities. Tim howard coming up with 17 saves. Like i said, he kept them in the game and i think his efforts probably deserved a little bit more. I have lived in america for 18 years and every four years i hear the story that this will be the one where america suddenly gets football or soccer or whatever you want to call it. And every four years, hopes are dashed. Will this be the world cup that transforms americas relationship . You hope every four years that will be the case and in my experience, every four years the country really gets together and everybody becomes an instant soccer fan for a month or two and in the past, it dissipates and everybody goes back to watching basketball and american football. I hope that with the her locks of tim howard in the performance of the rest of the team that it will catch on and continue to grow in america can have a bigger sport. What do you think it will take for the u. S. Team next time around to make it to the quarterfinals and beyond . It has been a roadblock getting past this round and it will take a lot of work. The players know what they need to do. The difference in the quality of players, it is just a time thing. We are not a soccer nation but we are growing to become one. That is what we hope to be one day. It will take a little bit of time and little by little, you see players going out and playing in bigger clubs in europe. Tim howard was stellar. It will take players like that to break into bigger teams and prove themselves overseas. Who is your hot tip for the final . Since they laminated america i hope that they can go as far as possible but i think holland is flying. For me, they are one of the favorites. South america has been performing well, columbia surprising a lot of people. We have not seen brazils potential yet and everybody is waiting for them to explode. Costa rica they are my cinderella story right now. To take in advance as far as possible, i think they shocked a lot of people. The cinderella story of costa rica. A quarter of the worlds mammals now threatened with extinction. To get a real picture of this threat, they say more species need to be assessed. Now how do you go about counting wild animals . A group of International Students converge on virginia to learn how to do just that. Remember to be careful. How much does a chipmunk way . Why does it matter . The answer is deceptively simple. It is the best way to monitor their population. And it is an essential skill for the students from places like kenya and nepal are learning how to protect endangered species back in their home country. It is held at the Smithsonian Research center where rare animals like this mongolian wild horse are bred in captivity. The area is popular with humans looking for a romantic weekend but some species that need to breed to ensure their survival need a little extra help to get them in the mood. This is a bird that is strongly imprinting on people. Imprinted means that she has basically fallen in love with her keeper and wont mate with other cranes. Scientists have turned that to their advantage, developing a stressfree method of Artificial Insemination carried out by her keeper. He is able to win her confidence enough. I just hand him the syringe after we have the sample and he walks down by himself. She turns around and put her wings out. He walks up to her and injects her. It takes a few seconds and he walks away. While the Breeding Program here has had some notable successes, experts say fewer than half of the world beasties are being effectively monitored. We dont know about most of these animals. If they need to males to every one female, do they need for females for every mail . Every species is different and it is not learning one thing and just cookie cut that to everything else. Every animal has to be explored on its own. That brings us back to the importance of how to monitor different species. This camera is still taking pictures and has 34 photo events. They reveal the woods are a busy place and many species need no encouragement to do what should come naturally. Testing the animals. That brings the show to a close.
