Airing on Friday, May 8, 2015: A new California app has taken the act of observing and videotaping police up a notch or two. All bystander videos shot by smartphones are backed up to a cloud server owned by the American Civil Liberties Union. Similar apps have come out in a couple of other states, but California’s - just released last Friday - is getting lots of downloads. Next: at a meeting of European ministers on Monday, Greece will outline its plans to meet its debt obligations. The country’s socialist government is refusing to cut certain public sector and pensions spending, and yet says it can and will meet its debt repayment obligations. We explore Greece’s plan and how creditors and other eurozone nations are reacting to it.
