Sons dead body. I think thats disgusting. Hello. For the First Time Ever a group of Chinese Military officers is facing 31 criminal charges in the u. S. And china is outraged by these allegations. The u. S. Justice Department Says the men hacked into the computers of Major American Companies and stole trade secrets. We are going live to beijing. First, how u. S. Officials say they found the hackers and why theyll never face prosecution. Wanted by the fbi. Five Chinese Military officials who have allegedly spent years stealing trade secrets from some of the Biggest Company in the u. S. Like westinghouse and alcoa. Draining the u. S. Economy out of millions of dollars. For the first time we are exposing the faces and names behind the key boards in shanghai used to steal from american businesses. From thousands of miles away, the u. S. Tracked the men down to one city, one block, one building on the chinese army base near shanghai. According to thin indictment, the five men hacked into the Pirate Networks of six u. S. Companies and to steal u. S. Power. Rating highly sensitive cutting edge research, pricing and strategy information. I think the American Public has to be concerned. The American Public, u. S. Companies have lost billions of dollars, hundreds of billions of dollars by many estimates. Theyve lost jobs. Tuesday has become less come petty and Chinese Companies and other nations companies, as a matter of fact, have gained on the backs of american consumers. American taxpayers, american investors. In one case, u. S. Officials alleged they stole trade secrets of a Nuclear Power plant while negotiations were underway between westinghouse and a chinese company. . We hope the Chinese Government will work with us in connection with this and bring these indicted men to justice. They said the chances of that happening are slim to none. Instead the charges are meant to fire a warning shot across chinas bow. Enough is enough. Weve got enough evidence. Were coming forward. Well throw the gauntlet down and tell the Chinese Government you cant cross this red line. U. S. Officials say it is a ramp dlanl problem going on for years. President obama has even confronted chinese leaders about it. Were going to have to work very hard to build a system of defenses and protections, both in the private sector and the public sector. Chinese officials now firing back, calling the allegations absurd and fictional and portraying themselves as the real victim of krish theft by the u. S. Brought to life by the Edward Snowden nsa leaks. Thanks to pamela brown for that report. And Chinese News Agency is reporting that beijing has summoned the u. S. Ambassador over these five indictments and is warning u. S. china relations are in jeopardy. Lets get more on this from beijing. It would seem the retaliation has only just begun. Reporter oh, thats right, john. How far this would go is anyones guess. The u. S. Government also confirming that max bacchus, the ambassador to china, was in meetings with the Foreign Ministry. He was called in, it appears, late into the night after that initial announcement by the u. S. Justice department. That image of the alleged hackers in wanted posters, similar that you would get for International Criminals of the more violent nature. Even terrorists by the fbi is deeply embarrassing at best for the Chinese Government. Even one of them in the p. L. A. , Peoples Liberation uniform. That they were hand in hand with the government and stateearned enterprises to steal secrets. The Chinese Government has said it is all rubbish. They said that they had never engaged in any theft of any trade secrets and they have hit back saying they are themselves the victims. David, you mentioned these wanted posters. They made these five military officers out to be kind of part of dillinger gang if you look at the fbi posters. Is that why this has gone on to a whole new level . In the past, china has brushed off these allegations. This time it seems different. Reporter well, it is different in that theyve named names and made criminal charges. If these charges were to go forward and these men faced justice and were found guilty, they could get up to 10 to 15 years. No one believes they will end up going to trial so one has to believe the Justice Department was on some level trying to make a statement rather than necessarily seeking justice. That statement is that they are angry at the level of theft. They say that china is engaged in for many, many years. China on its part says that it is almost like the pot calling the kettle black, particularly with Edwin Snowden affair which suggests that the former contractor leaked secrets from the nsa. That they were often attacked by u. S. Intelligence agencies on chinese tigers. So some saying this goes on every whereby every country and that pointing out china is unfair, but at the same time, you know, the u. S. Says theyve lost billions because of this hacking over time. It does seem to be the naming and the shaming which is different this time and thats why it would take on a whole new dimension. Live for us in beijing. Nearly 100 arrests have been made against hackers using a piece of malicious software. The crackdown spans 19 countries, targeting a program known as black shades. It allows hackers to remotely hijack computers. They can turn on webcams, access hard drives and steal passwords. Even worse, it is relatively easy to use and kit cost as little as 40. Authorities say more than half a million users have been infected. American beauty queen was among the target. Cassidy wolf says a form he classmate black mailed her and has since pleaded guilty. Wolff had received an email of nooud pictures of herself taken by a laptop. It he threatened a sex show or the images would go public. To think someone was watching me in my bedroom for a year and had my most intimate moments and the conversations i had had with my mom and my brother. It is so crazy that someone can have access to all of that by computer. One of those arrested is in fact a swedish hacker. The u. S. State department is urging all sides in thailand to resolve their differences peacefully after the army declar declared marshal law. It caught pretty much everyone off guard. Troops are patrolling bangkok and all appears calm. It is men to protect the safety of citizens and says dont panic. This is not a coup. This follows the Court Dismissal two weeks ago, the decision that angered many in thailand. He is a 20year veteran of the cia and director of pqa associates and joins us now from bangkok. So we have an aide to the care taker Prime Minister describing this as half a coup while the army officer says it is not a coup. What is it exactly . You have the right to be confused. It is not a coup detat yet. Into a week that looked like it would be pretty disrupted with rallies and strike plans for later on. They do not want to stage a coup. They do not want to be involved in civilian politics at the moment. Everyone here, at least the local population in bangkok is relieved that there has to be some sort of order imposed. I think what the army is up to next is trying to broker quiet negotiations between the parties to see if they can get some compromise in order. The military is not im sorry, go ahead. No, no, please. Go ahead. To do political mediations but theyre doing pretty well with marshal law. There hasnt been any acts of violence or confrontations yet. The protest leaders seem to be in agreement with it. For the moment no one has said theyre going to defy the military rule and the army is pretty good at planning the logistics and deployment to impose order on central bangkok. It is worth pointing out, the declaration did take the government by surprise. What does that unilateral action tell but the situation on the ground and programs how long this marshal law will be in place . Well, it says a lot i think about the government or whats left of it. As you pointed out earlier, most of the government was removed when it removed the Prime Minister and nine key cabinet members. The remnants was very weak and in many ways there was no government. So i think they put some authority into governance in bangkok. We are now in a no mans land politically. What the Government Role will be Going Forward is hard to tell. The army chief met this afternoon with senior Civil Servants which is interesting, and bypassed the political masters, the elected leaders and was asking them Going Forward. What we have now is short term stability, long term prospects are a little more iffy. A very delicate time, isnt i . It would be critical at this point that the army remain impartial. But youve got these political tensions between the supporters and opponents of the government. How delicate a situation is this . And where do they go from here . What sort of negotiations need to be taking place at this particular time now . Well said. It is a very delicate situation. And the appearance and impartiality will be almost more important than the actual conduct and partialiality. Each group of antigovernment and pro government demonstrators are very wary of moves by the military given thailands history. The military itself begin the minor era is also weary of staging a military coup and trying to run a civilian government. So all parties are very much in a 24hour wait and see mode. Hopefully, the early signs are well see some peace and quiet for a day or two. After that it is hard to say. Well be watching very closely and hope it remains calm. Many thanks to you for joining us.

Whats quite clear when you walk into the bathroom is just how small it is. So both defense and prosecution saying that bullet a hit hirs first. Coming through here and hitting her in the hip.

Her positioning in dispute and clear if they had ever she had time to scream or not. What we do know is that after the shots or during the shots, she fell back into this corner.

Moving on, supporters of same sex marriage in the United States can chalk up a victory in oregon and a partial victory in utah.

Also swept away, the warning signs once marking their location and now no one knows where they might be headed. Experts worry the mines pose a danger beyond bosnias borders. They warn the rising waters could carry the mines down stream through half of south eastern europe. Bosnias president tells cnn the floods are the worst thing they have faced since the bosnian war. Hundreds of kilometers in some parts, some cities and some bridges in northern bosnia, two or three meters of water. So the river is out and it looks like lakes. Reporter rescuers have yet to reach many places. No one has come to help this village so residents are helping each other.
