Palestinian fighters are supposed to not fire rockets during the break. This is the scene in gaza right now. The break in attacks was brokered by the United Nations to allow badly noded supplies coming into gaza. The bombardment killed 235 palestinians, many civilians. One israeli has also died. Among the dead are four palestinian children, who died on a beach on wednesday, during an israeli air strike. Lets go to our correspondent who is standing by for us in jerusalem. Nisreen elshamayleh, how is the humanitarian pause going so far . Well, as youed, israel has agreed to this as you said, israel agreed to this pause, from 10am to 3am local times to allow civilians in gaza to restock on supply and goods. We heard from the army three rockets from fired from gaza into southern israeli communities, the regional council. It landed in an open area. Hamas agreed to abide by the pause, but it may be other palestinian factions have not abided by it. Before this was implemented, before the humanitarian window was opened. We heard 20 rockets were fired from gaza into southern israeli communities. Four of those rockets were intercepted by the iron dome Missile Defense system and before the humanitarian pause was implemented. We understand that the army carried out an attack on 13 palestinian fighters who tried to ipp fill trait into israel infiltrate into israel close to a Border Crossing and the army carried out an air strike to prevent them reaching a southern israeli community. For the time being it looks relatively quiet, what we are seeing in gaza, do you think it could lead to a climate where we have something more substantial, Something Like a ceasefire . Its difficult to tell at this poiftenlt its a human point. Its a humanitarian window. Its not a ceasefire, that has to be accepted by both sides and netted. That has not been achieved. Mahmoud abbas is in cairo and will be meeting with the egyptian president to discuss a ceasefire. We know from sources in the west bank, that the Palestinian Authority is speaking to hamas about a ceasefire. We know that hamas has said that whoever is brokering the ceasefire needs to speak with the israelis and ham a so they can hamas, so they can see it as acceptable. It hasnt happened, from statements from officials in hamas. Until it happens, it will be difficult to reach a mutually agreed ceasefire. Thank you nisreen elshamayleh, joining us from jerusalem. Those are the latest live pictures from gaza, where a humanitarian pause has been brokered by the United Nations. Live pictures from gaza there. Well, do stay with us. Next, one and one east. [ music ] and finally from us this hour, an interesting predicament. If a world Famous Artist painted a picture on a building you opened, what would you do keep the work in place or try a get rich quick by removing it for sale. Do you know where the banksy installation was. I have no idea. Do you know banksy . No. Thanks. Excuse me, sir, do you know where the banksy piece was . Yes, its one block over. Cool. Down here, to the right. Thanks. Soon, this man and his crew found the location where the banksy once stood. I dont think they should have taken it out of the building, removed it. There. This man, true to his brooklyn roots summed up the local sentiment best. It sucks. Red hook is an arts destine in addition of its destination of its own. Once blue colour, this time its bluecollar chique. People here have different ideas to those in miami about what constitutes art. The thing with people who find. [ music ] [ music ] thats it for us on america tonight. If you want more information you can go to the website. Aljazeera. Com americatonight. Join the conversation with us on twitter or at our facebook page. Goodnight, well have more of america tonight tomorrow. Lets check it out. Deep in the heart of rural alabama, the town of greens bro is struggling for survival. A quarter of the population lives below the poverty line. The catfish capital is fighting to keep its head above water. What was the economy like when you got here . 75 of the shops shut. Theres one thing they have plenty of. We have a lot of bamboo. You must have a product you are making. Pam door, a big city designer chucked that life to become a onewoman stimulus plan. She tapped into the towns resource to do it. Bamboo bicycles are not a new idea. They are gaining popularity in small bike shops, a lot like this one. None of those bikes are like the bikes youll find here at hero bike shop. Thats thanks to a designer who took time to get his hands dirty and develop a new innovative design. University of kansas professor new that he could turn the nuisance into a groundbreaking set of wheels. Why did we choose this . Its big enough, we are luking something with a big diameter we are looking for something with a big diameter, something that is green. This is perfect. It cuts easily. Bamboo is a crass. Some grass. Its tougher than my saw right now. Can i try. You might have better luck than i am. There you go. Its eating the saw. Timber. You got it. Yes. Where are we headed next . Its only about three blocks. This is how the supply chain moves at hero bike. All right. Turning left. For three weeks professor raik and a group of students tinkered with a frame coming up with a hybrid called the semester. Which part makes this innovative . I think the most innovative part is making a composite with having carbon fibre with the bam boo. Walk me through what we have . We take the bam boo and split it. On the outside we plain it, and cut angles on the sides. Each one of these has bevel on the side. Now, to get the carbon fibre in it we are using a carbon fibre sleeve. This is just a piece of bicycle inner tube. We can put all this in together. The epoxy will hold all of this together with. If we inflate the inner tube, it will expand the other carbon fibre to blow out the bamboo, and make a strong tool. Its a low tech way for a hightech solution. Its elegant in its simplicity. Thank you. Did you have to consider the skill level of the people you were working with . Yes, in a couple of different ways. I realise ill need people to build the bikes that are not bike builders. We are trying to make jobs na are not a factory so much as a studio. Did you have much of a bike background. Other than riding bikes and tinkering, no. If you hadnt found this job, what would your prospects look like. It was looking rough. The hope for hero bikes is that it will be successful as another hero employment project. I was on a Welfare Programme and i was placed here. I have a job, and can pay my bills and take care of my kids. Sounds like it changed your life. Yes, it works out for the best. You cant do a bike story without a ride. Thank you. Awesome, i cant believe how smooth the bike is. This is really cool. What do you think . If you are not careful, ill steal it when you are not looking. Fullscale production cranks up at the end of the year. The semester runs 850. Every order means one more job for someone in greens bro. We would like to use what is here to create a better future. How does being involved in this make you feel. That part of being back here filled with making these bikes. How rewarding is that. Wow, so after seeing that, i want to bam boo bike. I figure a lot of others do too. How is it selling . If i figured out how to get one on the plane, i would have biked here. You could bike from alabama to california. People love them. They are a lot more trendy in cities, bikes. Its a way around in this economy. We can avoid gas prices. Not only gas prices, the emissions. Are they seeing other applications for the bam boo . They are looking into furniture. With the same structure. I have to buy me a bam boo bike. Im behind you. Well be back next more with more innovations from the field. Audiences are intelligent and they know that their needs are not being met by american tv news today. Entire media culture is driven by something thats very very fast. There has been a lack of fact based, in depth, serious journalism, and we fill that void. There is a huge opportunity for Al Jazeera America to change the way people look at news. We just dont parachute in on a story. Quickly talk to a couple of experts and leave. One producer may spend 3 or 4 months, digging into a single story. At al jazeera, there are resources to alow us as journalists to go in depth and produce the kind of films. The people that you dont see anywhere else on television. We intend to reach out to the people who arent being heard. We wanna see the people who are actually effected by the news of the day. Its Digging Deeper its asking that second, that third question, finding that person no one spoken to yet. You cant tell the stories of the people if you dont get their voices out there, and Al Jazeera America is doing just that. Welcome back toing know. Guys, this story that i got to do was one of my favourites of the its using Technology Changing peoples lives. This is a robot that parapledgic people can use to walk again, lets take a look. I have a big dream mapping. These kids from a summer camp near aspen colorado are about to give amanda a lifechanging gift, a gift helping her do something she hasnt been able to do sense paralyzed in a ski accident 21 years ago. Now i want to invite the kids to rip into it. Reporter its a bionic ro t robot, a Battery Powered skeleton giving her legs the power to do this. count down and this. Im walking, you guys. And even this. Reporter the technology is so cutting edge that amanda is the first person in the United States to own one. The moment she sat up i was amazed. Shes been sitting down for 21 years, and the first feeling to stand up, i would have been thrilled to be in that position. It was an emotional moment for these kids who spent the last year selling lemonade and raising money from donors to make it happen. My most profound moment was when i stood up and tried to see the childrens faces and some of them, the little ones, they were in awe. And to have that heart to heart hug. My hug in a wheelchair , theres a disconnect. I get heart to heart hugs when i stand up. Reporter do you promise me a standing hug . Yes. Reporter okay. Amanda took her first steps towards making that dream a reality in 2010. Thats when she got a call from the robots creators, asking her to be a test pilot for new technology, she travelled to headquarters in the San Francisco area and took it for a test run. How did it feel to stand and look at people . The first time i stood up i went home and i cried hard, in all honesty. These were emotions that i had been dreaming about. I felt so good in my body. I slept hard. I wasnt in pain. Total ending steps. This is exos headquarters, where the magic is made and pereffected. Robots like perfected. Here robots are put their their paces giving those paralyzed a chance to do what they were told was not possible. Nathan is a cofounder and an inventor. It was developed for the battlefield, as a device to help soldiers carry heavy load long distances. Theres a problem in the u. S. Military with soldiers getting injuries through large loads they carry. We were helping to develop exoskeletons to carry the back back and the weight of a vest. The breakthrough was creating a robot supporting its own weight with the minimum of energy, meaning it could be powered by a battery pack. Then theres the walking thing. It takes over the muscle function. It can do that completely for a person par leased below the race. Or partially for someone who is learning to walk. Reporter the only thing i have to do is initiate the first step. Reporter like amapped amanda, jason is a tester. I put it into step. If i stop and dont go to the next position, it stops. I can go forward and lateral. There we go. Test pilots like amanda and jason how did they help you guys advance the technology . They helped immensely. Everything is unpredictable once you introduce a human into the system. I remember being in the room with 13 ph. D. S, and they had a different idea of what would be the exact way to control something. Without amanda and jason, wed be at a standstill, because we couldnt test anything. Reporter exo pushed the boundaries, but the robot has limitations. It can only be used in a rehabilitative setting with a trained physiotherapist. Are you ready . Im ready. Reporter then theres the price tag, from 110,000 140,000. Exo bionics hopes food and Drug Administration can improve the price. I dont get enough of these heart to heart hugs. Reporter if you need another hug, im your man. All right. Reporter all right. Thank you. The emotional impact of this is obvious. Other associate Health Benefits with walking. Absolutely. All the doctors and patients agree standing up helps the way they digest. The pain, lowers infections. This has a lot of applications. Can portions be used for rehabilitation for stroke victims. Absolutely. Thats a recent addition they put in with the technology. It has variable use. One side may be stronger. Its perfect for stroke victims, allowing them to increase the control that they have over it, versus what the robot has. And get people on a solid track. From earthquakes to moss keeto, there has be there has been conversations. Check back next week when we bring you more from the field. Every day across america, militarystyle raids are taking place. Local police dressed like soldiers break down doors in the hunt for drugs. This is not what we think of as police in a democratic society. This is way out of proportion. In the past, Police Swat Teams were only used in extreme circumstances. Now, theyre increasingly sent on routine tasks. They changed my whole perspective. Im telling you, when i seen that, it was just like they dropped a bomb. They dont care what theyve done, they really dont. Tonight, fault lines examines how a massive rise the use of swat is redefining americas police. And we ask who is really paying the price . In the us today, there are now tens of thousands of militarystyle police raids every year. But only the worst cases make the news. Weve come to investigate one that took place in a rural town just north of los angeles. Scared me so bad, they were so military and just huge guns and full gear, like huge puffed out like huge vest. It looked like they were going into a war. Early morning on june 27, armed police from across la county converged on the property of Eugene Mallory and his wife, tonya pate. Their warrant said the property was being used as an illegal methamphetamine lab. Well the entire basis of the search warrant, was that the investigating officers says downwind from the property in spots he was with certainty to smell chemicals. This is where i was. I was inside here. Tonya was inside a trailer on the property, and her son adrian was asleep in another trailer, when she heard the police. And it scared me, they scared me so bad that i said adrian, come out and thats when that guy told her, contain her so she shoved me into the car and then put the handcuffs on really, really tight and pushed me into the car, but i said, but my son is in there. A thorough search of the property turned up no sign of meth. Despite her pleas, the police wouldnt tell tonya what they were looking for. Every time i would ask shed just say my detective will be here to talk to you. You just need to shut up, you know, im protecting my officers. I said, from what . You got all the guns tonya was taken to the Police Station but then released without charge. It was only on her return that she began to realize what had happened. During the raid, the armed officers entered the house where tonyas 80yearold husband was sleeping. Guns drawn, six sheriffs deputies made their way towards his bedroom. I came back to the house and it was horrible, there was blood all over that bed. It was thick and it was running down the walkway, and there was a lot of it. And i was just like, oh my god. Eugene had been shot 6 times five of those shots were fatal wounds to the chest. The bedding was saturated. Pillows were full of blood. The blood ran all the way down that side. I guess he laid over there and bled to death and died. Eugene kept two guns next to his bed in latched boxes. The initial Police Report says the officers were confronted by an armed suspect. So one of the guns was potentially in this . Yeah, but he didnt have enough time. Because their story is that he was exiting, hold a gun with both hands, and leveled it at the officers and i think the report says that he was actually killed outside the bedroom. As he was coming out to confront them. Well, i got blood inside the room and like i said if he was walking this way or right there, there is no blood in this pathway nor on this rug. Both eugenes body and his gun were moved before investigators reached the scene where the body drops, where the gun is, why would you move any of these things . Okay, you say he shot at you, everything, he should be dropped where hes at, his gun should be in his hand why is everything moved . I dont believe genes gun was in his hand. Thats why it was moved. I dont believe gene was where you said thats why he was moved. During the raid, the police found cannabis on the property and tonyas son, adrian who holds a medical marijuana license was arrested. Hes been charged with possession with intent to supply a charge the family denies. Now tonya is fighting to clear her familys name and get answers about eugenes death. Thats him 80th birthday party. He doesnt look like a dangerous man. Anybody with authority, he was very respectful to them, praise them for doing a good job. I mean he would give them thumbs up, fire dept, sheriffs dept, pat them on the back. Tell em you know what a great job, what would we do with you guys, you know . Thats Old Man River yes laughs his clothes and his shoes, they smell like him, still in the bedroom and i dont want to move them. I know you keep taking things away and theyre gone and i dont want him to be gone, sebastian i dont want him to be gone eugenes body was brought here to the la county Coroners Office for an autopsy shortly after, the county had the body cremated without tonyas permission and before she could get her own autopsy we requested a copy of the coroners report to better understand what happened during the raid. Tonya is now suing the county for wrongful death and her lawyers say the police story is full of holes. The decedent exited his bedroom with a. 22 caliber handgun extended out and held with both hands. The deputy fired at the decedent 6 times, which dropped
