New York Chinese police convicted for manslaughter and thousands of black Chinese protest

A grand jury in Brooklyn, New York court has ruled Chinese police officers convicted of manslaughter Peter Leung, faces up to 15 years in prison. Peter Leung duty in the case of manslaughter youth of African descent because of its ethnic minority backgrounds and concern, the current ruling is also the Chinese community has aroused strong repercussions. Thousands of Chinese marched in New York, the Brooklyn Bridge, the name of solidarity with the Chinese police. There Chinese believed verdict unfair, because it is the Chinese and Peter Leung made a scapegoat.

In the United States, police shot frequent cases of blacks. But what more cases before the white police officers were exempt from criminal prosecution, the jury sentenced Liang Peter made this based on?

Peter Leung case itself is not complicated. November 20, 2014 at 11 am, 28-year-old newly recruited police officers on duty in the beam Peter Brooklyn in a government low-cost housing, because abnormal ring and heard the shot, the bullet hit the wall on the rebound accidentally hit just after the stairs from the lower level of African-American youth Gregory, causing his death. Disputes is whether this was an accident or manslaughter. Prosecutors believe that Peter beam direction abnormal sounds of fire, no casualties consider possible consequences. And Peter Leung said he was panicked, subconsciously touched the trigger, not intentionally shoot.

Although the grand jury has made a manslaughter verdict, but Peter is not the beam that there is no chance. Because US law requires a judge has the final adjudication, can overthrow the grand jury.

Peter's mother Liang Fang He said he felt very sad for the verdict, suffered a major blow 彼得什 beam tends to self-mutilation. American observers 杜剑锋 also been concerned about this case, he believes, which includes Chinese, including the Asian limited participation in political life is not irrelevant. Du Jianfeng indicated US law equality before the law, but in particular the social life, the rights of an ethnic group to fight to make their own sound. There is a Chinese saying, cry of the child milk. In American society, can be described as the very image of competing interests between the minority on. Some Latinos and blacks, in addition to the number of multiple, more often they will be very motivated to ask to fight for their rights. But Asians always thought, I can do their own thing, and political affairs including all aspects of social life Public participation is relatively small, it led easily overlooked.

Currently, the US presidential election was conducted in the bustling, Du Jianfeng noted in the statement of the candidates in the debate, both in the positive attitude to safeguard the interests of minority African-American and Latino, and Asian little mention of . Du Jianfeng think, not only because of the small number of Asians sake, partly because many of the Asian vote, when that is not their own relationship with this thing, so similar to the case when the beam Peter appeared in society, there is no people you speak. In the case of the US judicial system, the district attorney in charge of the case have their own political aspirations, the career to be a step forward, he also needs the support of the community, need the support of the voters, but if Asians in this regard under the situation is not very positive, it is in a relatively passive situation.

Suspected terrorist attack can unlock iPhone? Apple is also screenwriters

Before last year's terrorist attack in Paris, once a New York court ordered Apple to unlock the alleged crime by a suspect's iPhone 5s, but Apple was the opposition. After a series of delays the final court verdict has not been issued. In accordance with the opinion of the Court, Apple need to submit additional documents to help the judge decide whether you really need to unlock the phone. But before this, Apple is facing a new phone unlock request.

Apple recently submitted to the court a new document, the company suggests in court documents reconsider its decision to unlock the iPhone, because they were asked to unlock a new iPhone government agencies, this phone belongs to "suspected terrorists" suspects. Two months ago, the United States San Bernardino together shootings occurred, and did not get any important information after local police arrested the suspect, because they failed attempt to unlock the suspect's iPhone.

Apple lawyer Marc Zwillinger said in the document, together with any investigation against Apple products launched by government agencies, Apple will not choose stations, Apple will not be on the need to unlock the phone and the suspect's comments.

National dog shelling Kurdish militias in northern Syria

Turkey has shelled a Kurdish militia in northern Syria and demanded it retreat from territory it has seized, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said.

The US urged Turkey to stop the shelling and focus on fighting the group Islamic State (IS).

Meanwhile Turkey's foreign minister said Turkey was mulling a ground invasion of Syria with Saudi forces.

On Thursday world powers agreed to push for a cessation of hostilities in Syria within a week.

Among the targets shelled by Turkey was the Menagh airbase, which was seized on Thursday from Syrian Islamist rebels by a Kurdish militia group known as the YPG.
Speaking on Turkish TV, PM Davutoglu warned that Turkey would retaliate if the YPG did not leave the airbase, which lies south of the town of Azaz and near the Turkish border.

Syria: The story of the conflict
Turkey sees the YPG as being linked with Kurdish guerrillas from the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which has waged a campaign against security forces in Turkey itself for decades.

Mr Davutoglu accused the Kurdish militiamen of attacking ethnic Arabs and Turkmen in what amounted to "war crimes".

US State Department spokesman John Kirby also urged the YPG not to "take advantage of a confused situation" by seizing new territory.

Mr Kirby said Turkey and the YPG were both threatened by IS, whose fighters were located to the east of Azaz.

"We continue to encourage all parties to focus on this common threat, which has not subsided," he said.

Media captionThe horrifying statistics that define Syria
On Saturday, Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said it was possible that troops from his country and Saudi Arabia might participate in a ground operation against IS forces.

Saudi Arabia will send war planes to the Turkish airbase of Incirlik to carry out air strikes on IS militants, Mr Cavusoglu said.

The US has so far ruled out a ground invasion of Syria, while Moscow has warned against such a development, saying it could lead to a world war.

World powers have instead agreed a tentative deal to try to bring about a cessation of hostilities and allow more access for humanitarian aid.

Why is there a war in Syria?

Anti-government protests developed into a civil war that, five years on, has ground to a stalemate, with the Assad government, Islamic State, an array of Syrian rebels and Kurdish fighters all holding territory.


Who is fighting whom?
Government forces concentrated in Damascus and the centre and west of Syria are fighting the jihadists of Islamic State and al-Nusra Front, as well as less numerous so-called "moderate" rebel groups, who are strongest in the north and east. These groups are also battling each other.

How has the world reacted?
Iran, Russia and Lebanon's Hezbollah movement are propping up the Alawite-led Assad government, while Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar back the Sunni-dominated opposition, along with the US, UK and France. Hezbollah and Iran are believed to have troops and officers on the ground, while a Western-led coalition and Russia are carrying out air strikes.

Trump tangles with rivals in Republican debate knockabout

The Republican candidates for president traded sharp blows over foreign policy and the future of the Supreme Court in an often unruly and chaotic debate.

After Iowa and New Hampshire, the race has now moved to South Carolina before the 20 February primary.

Front-runner Donald Trump repeatedly tangled with Texas Senator Ted Cruz and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush in a series of tense exchanges.

The lively audience repeatedly jeered and booed the candidates.

As the candidates shouted down and interrupted each other, CBS moderator John Dickerson warned: "We're in danger of driving this into the dirt."
Debate highlights:

The death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, creating a vacancy on the court, shifted the discussion towards social issues like gay rights and abortion
Mr Trump pledged to stop using vulgar terms on the campaign trail
Florida Senator Marco Rubio bounced back after stumbling in a previous debate performance

Mr Rubio again clashed with Mr Cruz on immigration reform. Mr Rubio said Mr Cruz's shifting position on immigration was just another example of his dishonesty
Ohio Governor John Kasich continued to push what he sees as a positive campaign message, decrying the sharp attacks of the night
Mr Trump said he would work with Congress to penalise companies, which move factories and jobs to Mexico.

Mr Trump and Mr Bush clashed over the war in Iraq and President George Bush's role during the 11 September attacks.
Jeb Bush responded robustly to Mr Trump's attacks, a departure for the former governor who originally sought a "joyful" campaign.
"We should have never been in Iraq," Mr Trump said.
"They lied. They said there were weapons of mass destruction. There were none and they knew that there were none."


The Republicans had been looking for a fight before this debate even started. There was a sombre moment to mourn the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. That paved the way for an obvious opening question: who should nominate his successor to the Supreme Court? This president, who would try to appoint a liberal-leaning successor? No, cried Republicans.

On stage, Donald Trump was already out of step and said he was certain President Obama would make the nomination whether Republicans liked it or not.
From there, the debate almost descended into an all-out brawl with the billionaire at its centre. The frontrunner took every opportunity to set himself apart as the outsider, dismayed with the state of politics. He saved the bulk of his ire for Jeb Bush, who has been his target for months. But this time the former Florida governor was ready. He stayed calm and didn't fluff his lines.

It meant Mr Trump came across more as the pantomime villain and the audience reacted accordingly, by booing.

This debate will not be remembered by stand-out performances. Instead, voters witnessed some of the most bitter exchanges of the campaign so far.

Mr Bush pushed back, defending his brother who will soon join Mr Bush on the campaign trail before the pivotal South Carolina primary.

"I'm sick and tired of Barack Obama blaming my brother for all the problems that he's had and frankly I could care less about the insults Donald Trump gives against me," Mr Bush said.

Justice Scalia's death was addressed early on in the debate most of the six candidates saying the next president should choose his replacement.
Mr Cruz said "we are one justice away" from the court reversing conservative legal gains.


Mr Trump said President Obama would probably pick a replacement, but stressed that Republicans in the Senate should block him.

"Delay, delay, delay," Mr Trump said.

Later, Mr Cruz contended that Mr Trump, who has supported Democrats in the past, would nominate liberal Supreme Court justices if elected president.

"You are the single biggest liar," Mr Trump said to Mr Cruz. "This guy will say anything."

The next primary and caucus is in South Carolina next week. Other states will have their turn over the coming weeks and months.

Each party formally announces their presidential candidate at conventions in July, four months before the presidential election.
