Justice department as it begins a lawsuit against google. Election is complete. And searching for the secrets of life and nasa Spacecraft Lands on an asteroid. Thank you very much for joining us we begin with the growing tensions in nigeria where there are reports that Security Forces have shot dead protesters Amnesty International says it happened as they tried to disperse demonstrators in lagos is one of several cities where a care few is in place after days of demonstrations against Police Brutality turned violent reports. It began as peaceful protests to demand an end to Police Brutality. And for 2 weeks the government struggled to feel to calm protesters. Their demands among others include far reaching reforms of the police and the prosecution of officers accused of extrajudicial killings torture and disappearances nokia is going through things we have been protest in we have not had any reasonable results which is what we want out. But you know. What i know im really listening to his does he was running. Every day so yeah yeah i voice i dont buy that i dont want him i said roy well you know i believe these well im going to yeah do good. And so you know makers are lining up behind some of the protest demands i will not sign off on a 2021 budget that does not include adequate full visions to compensate those who have suffered violence im fatality other counsel to police in nigeria in the last decade which means the countrys 2021 budget could be delayed. On monday in protest as blockaded more to the Moment International airport Lagos Nigeria has busiest. The same day these images appeared of prisoners among them violent criminals escaping went to prison. Or typed. The prison Authorities Say nearly 2000 prisoners have escaped more warring is the looting of the armory in the correction facility here now nearly 2 dozen cause destroyed already states have started enforcing 24. 00 confused among them the Financial Capital lagos which is also home to the countrys busiest ports. This could mean more trouble coming already you know pushing. The president of the senate has also the president to address the nation to calm the situation but its not clear if that will be enough to keep the protest as. Well as not speak to a smile ahmed whos the. Senior special assistant to nigerias president mamadou bihari joins us via skype from abroad jeff thank you very much sir for being with us on aljazeera we have today millions of nigerians placed under curfew beyond the city of lagos why was it necessary for history imposed desk if you. Will think you. d think what was started out of this which of those courted by a lot of nigerians because Police Reform is. Required in this country and the president also means. A lot of people were genuine that it be. We do we some members of the police force especially the despondent unit corsages which especially under of the squad carried on the activities especially in some parts of. The country would started so there you peaceful quarter support. In some states. Who were beginning to take over. As a bit of chaos and strengthens or properties and so i cases like i said thats justifying does doesnt justify nigerian Security Forces using force and opening fire on protesters in the middle of lagos i mean i miss International Says its received already moving and disturbing evidence of an excessive use of force shooting on entre testers thats not really sure the government is serious about talking Police Violence that it. Well absolutely not it does not justify use of any kind of force i think the president made it clear the last time he made a statement on this issue dont look protest should be a sort of by any Law Enforcement agency so what do you put to good tonight i dont know how far the security agencies are investigating what happened in lagos the night but whatever it is absolutely unacceptable its all called for its absolutely unnecessary and the government will make sure that stops nothing to find out what exactly has transpired and whoever is responsible for this would have to feel there are some people why has president boris still not addressed nigerian citizens over this issue of these protests have been going on for several weeks now and as you heard in our report nigerians want to hear from their president why has this not happened well because. I dont know precisely why its not been as a show d National Broadcast yet but i think they are you know the specialists in time president the president the president has spoken through you have spoken directly to the country about this issue on last week where you mentioned that after the disbandment of the sas unit. This was the only for the 1st with extensive reforms that we saw in the police force and he has made several statements through his spokespeople now but still on the nigerians i dont want to hear from them and i said it directly let me ask you about i think i think i think is a valid i think is a valid things about it the president is going to support our then the special anti robbery squad as you say it has been disbanded but weve been here before its not the 1st time that this unit has been disbanded and then later before this has happened i think 5 times now why should nigerians trust the government now when it says they were not reforms i mean surely you understand the skepticism of people. Well i think youre going to do its really is that there was there were some that the science has been suspended thats always been been before this is the 1st that not only the i. G. P. Of the police but the president himself is saying that the unit has been just been the source for the scum government is concerned kalischer you that the unit has been spotted what miss ahmed what this all is revealing i think is that the frustrations that nigerian people are expressing today on the streets of lagos a butcher port hawkers is that this is about far more than the crimes of a police unit there are much deeper issues here its about corruption from you know some of the people that weve been speaking to a lack of Public Services also how does the Nigerian Government plan to address these issues. Well i think like i said earlier i think its a valid request that yes a systemic issue this stomach problems in the polity i think. Science was a platform the un did and science was a platform for a lot of people that had different dishes which is the 2 tional problems in this country and vie to be sold as so many is this to have. That have a lot of problems in this country. To public offices almost of a war that never should never ever be corrupt bills asylum for some Police Officers and judges when you have corruption induced to institutions then the bicheno society bringing. Begins and so i think a lot of people have different issues why do you have to in the platform for that and so us i think the government is trying all thats best to see that forms in every sector from the Civil Service to the police Law Enforcement Justice Reform right and a lot of unaccountability bottoms a lot but something needs to happen on an event its a process its a process as you say this might take a long time but in the meantime something needs to happen in the media to quell the sun race and these tensions because theyre having an impact on the nigerian economy of course and theyre going now beyond nigeria with supporting you know countries that the u. S. From nigeria and asked for and so on so what does the government plan to do any media its to address the cameras i think there i think to the mans i think not only to the amounts of the protests i think if you take of the holistic look at all the demands that were just made a lot of demands you know about it and you know very articulate at the manse there are some that needs to be done immediately and i think government on its own part will not will part we need to show more commitment to to to do with this issues those that i used to be dealt with immediately thats a number of judicial islands of inquiries across all the states i think substance of status and them all those articles to. Constitutional powers of state governments to do the. That and i think will sit on latest at us not just at some of the shows and also the members of those and us need to be mentioned young people maybe not need to be part of those panels. And then as we move on dannys to be offices in the police force or d in this case what happened tonight is truly you know the army im for the army people should be you know brought out me and the prosecution process would have to begin and all the things that government and. The government would have shoe and the more that commitment the able to do we did leave those for medium term a long term this up process event we should be given the public that weekly or Monthly Update of whats going on that we should have a committee set up for monitoring and evaluation to make sure that all the promises that government has made can be followed and can be seen to be implemented as time goes on thank you very much mr ahmed for speaking to us and thank you for your time is money especially assistant to nigerias president Mahmoud Abbas joining us there from which i thank you for your time if you and other well news the Crown Princess every day is being sued in a u. S. Court for the matter. In a civil lawsuit the fiance of the slain janis claims personal injury and financial losses over his staff at helps or accountability and for the truth to be finally revealed shabba tansey reports the 7 counts civil complaint is being filed in washington d. C. Against Saudi Crown Prince mohammed bin soma and 28 other saudi nationals it alleges that the defendants formulated a conspiracy to murder and this drama has served you from the us and then kidnapped drugged torture and dismembered him at the saudi consulate in istanbul in october of 2018. It being so much more due to him the i want the truth. The no please dont sponsible budge we want to hold truth. And we want accountability the lawsuit has 2 primary goals to have a u. S. Court make a determination that muhammad been soma is directly responsible for murder and finally to reveal what intelligence governments around the world possess about the plot you absolutely want to get this country 1st and foremost not only from saudi arabia but also from the United States who lead the documents and recordings that are pertinent to this case because soldiers widows is the ultimate goal is to provoke the crown princes accession to the through no one behind if lost gruesome murder shoot have any role in becoming more not like robert than some of the lowest order. On the case has been declared closed in saudi arabia following the conviction of 8 unnamed defendants in september legal experts suggest that the civil suit may face complications in the u. S. Especially as long as the queues remain outside the country however at the very least it may make the crown prince reluctant to travel to the United States for now if you ever fancy aljazeera its main described as the most aggressive u. S. Legal challenge against a tech company in decades the Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against google that he is a firm of using its market power to keep a monopoly over Search Engines and advertising a complaint is govt pays billions of dollars to phone manufacturers and browsers to keep it as their default Search Engine the company says the suit is deeply fraught. Google is a gateway to the internet and search advertising but even google should have some success in its early years and dont want to grow just that but as the antitrust complaint filed today explains it is maintained its monopoly power through exclusionary practices that are harmful to competition so the Justice Department has determined that an antitrust response is necessary to benefit consumers if the government does not enforce the and i trust love to enable competition we could lose the next wave of innovation if that happens americans may never get to see the next google. Larry magid is c. E. O. And cofounder of connect safely dot org a Nonprofit Organization focusing on Online Privacy and security he explained some of the arguments that could be made. I think one argument that they might make is to go back to 2000 im sorry go back in 1998 when microsoft with on the hot seat for very similar charges and i remember specifically bill gates speaking of congress saying you know some other company could come along and unseat us and indeed that very year a to graduate students from stanford were in a garage here in palo alto building google which actually did overshadow microsoft when it came to the internet so i suspect thats the argument theyll make and i suspect the counter argument will be made that that google controls the entire android platform it dominate search and that it promotes its own products and it makes it difficult for other companies to compete either with search or with internet advertising theres a lot of both a legal and a political war going on between washington Silicon Valley but this is a very specific lawsuit issued by the Justice Department claiming google is exercising monopoly power over search and over internet advertising so there is probably by far part of his support for this battle i mean the Trump Administration that has their gripes against google but so do democrats so i suspect this will be vigorously prosecuted and even if joe biden were to win the election i wouldnt be surprised if his Justice Department continued the suit.

Now nasa scientists have pulled off a delicate maneuver landing a space probe onto a moving asteroid 320000000 kilometers away from a if its only the 2nd time its been done the probe briefly touched on the surface of the bending last oid with the goal of scooping up a few handfuls of bass and pebbles from the surface why if it can be brought back to earth it could help scientists understand the early solar system well lets speak to mike wall about this hes a Senior Writer with space dot com and is via skype from San Francisco in california vaga tapi with us mike so 1st of all just how difficult was this mission and the landing on the asteroid in particular. Yeah its a its a Pretty Amazing technological feat and all of this was done by this probe by itself you know its today its far too far away to to be controlled and sort of real time bias and those here on earth so its it basically did this all by itself out there judging whether it was safe to go down and then it was it was more like it shifts than like a landing at a speed has this is like sampling head on the end of a long robotic arm and it just came down and pushed that against the asteroid rubble and touched it for about 10 seconds and then sort of backed slowly away from the asteroid was pretty Pretty Amazing yeah sounds pretty cool japan has done this before twice i believe how is this nasa Mission Different from what the japanese have done its pretty similar to to the most recent Japanese Mission have use it to did something similar to i mean grabbing like a pretty sizable sample of the fairly similar asteroid both of these asteroids that were talking about that were getting samples from are are rich in organic molecules and also water theyve been theyve theyve been shaped by by sort of water in their minerals and so scientists think that we get good shots from both of these asteroids back in the labs here and earth we can actually learn a lot about the sort of early solar system and and like maybe even how actually life arose on earth because asteroids are sort of thought to have delivered a little like a lot of lifes Building Blocks to earth like oh yeah i was going to ask a bit more about that that theyre hoping to pick up thats a force of the asteroids of rubble is how theyre describing it what precisely can we now and from that. Yeah well one of the big goals just basically i mean it like these sorts of asteroids are sort of left over just just like Building Blocks from the big chunks that glom together to make earth and the other planets long ago so if you study what theyre made of like really precise that you can kind of learn a lot about what what the early solar system looked like how the planets came together and so on but that as our just just kind of mentioning that there are a lot of scientists who think that that getting pummeled by and lots of asteroids like these 2 long ago actually brought a lot of water to earth and a lot of liquor get molecules that helps life get going here on earth so yeah actually looking to see what these asteroids are made and like how many excited like are going to compensate have on their surface couldnt format perhaps 20 and even though the landing was the hottest map its not only yet is that when when we actually kind of doubts about what osiris rex managed to pick up yesterday and its tough because they they think they have to do a really delicate sort of like waiting operation over the next week or so that they have to figure out like how much material they theyve got theyve that they want to get at least 60 grams and so theyre going to do a bunch of tests to see if if they got enough and yet if they didnt they can go back down for another try that but it seems like things are pretty well the days so we try to get to have our fingers crossed that it works and if they determine that theyve got enough then just stuff will be coming back down to earth hopefully and september 2023 and scientists will be able to get their hands on all right thank you so much for talking to us about this a mike wallace Senior Writer at space dot com in San Francisco thank you very much for your time sure thing.
