South African Police Brutality : Man Dragged Behind Police Van, Killed in Police Custody South Africa: Man Dragged Behind Police Van Shocking footage emerges of alleged police brutality after which a 27-year-old taxi driver died in custody. A taxi driver in South Africa died after being handcuffed to a police vehicle and dragged hundreds of yards, it has been alleged. Independent police investigators are looking into the claims after video footage emerged showing a man being dragged along a road behind a police van. The man, a 27-year-old from Mozambique, was later found dead in a police cell in Daveyton, Johannesburg, on Tuesday. Officers have claimed they put the taxi driver in a police van in order to take him to a police station on the East Rand, and cannot explain how he later died. But the video, obtained by South Africa's Daily Sun newspaper, shows officers struggling to overpower a man - believed to be the taxi driver - before attaching him to a point at the rear of their vehicle and then driving off leaving him hanging outside. South Africa man chained to and dragged behind police van Officers are seen restraining the man and handcuffing him to the van At one point they attempt to carry his legs while the vehicle is moving forward but have to drop him as the police van speeds up. The footage then shows the man trying to stay on his feet as he is dragged behind the vehicle for several hundred metres. The person filming the incident attempts to keep up with the ...

The spectre of wide-reaching budget cuts is looming in the US, unless Congress can agree on how to reduce the deficit. The cuts, dubbed the "sequester", are part of a debt deal that was made two years ago. If the cuts are not reversed, the military could face a nine percent across-the-board budget cut, about $55bn per year. As Al Jazeera's Rosiland Jordan reports from Washington, the Pentagon is leading the fight against the cuts.

An analyst says if European central banks continue to act on behalf of bankers and wealthy institutions rather than the whole economy, Europe will soon face an 'economic Apartheid.' The European Commission says the eurozone will witness another year of recession in 2013 as the economic output is slated to decline by 0.3 percent following a 0.6-percent contraction in 2012. The European Commission said on Friday that the unemployment rate across the 17-nation bloc would also rise in 2013. The EU's winter economic forecast said that the jobless rate in the euro area would hit 12.2 percent for 2013. Press TV has conducted an interview with Brent Budowsky, a columnist from the Hill, to further discuss the issue. The program also offers the opinions of political and economic expert Chris Dorsey and Secretary General of the CIPI Foundation Paolo Raffone.

VATICAN CITY: Beginning a long farewell to his flock, a weary Pope Benedict XVI celebrated his final public Mass as pontiff, presiding over Ash Wednesday services hours after a bittersweet audience that produced the extraordinary scene of the leader of the world's billion Catholics explaining himself directly to the faithful. The mood inside St. Peter's Basilica was somber during the Mass, as if the weight of Benedict's decision and the finality of his pontificate had finally registered with the thousands present. The basilica erupted in a rousing standing ovation as Benedict exited for the last time as pope, bringing tears to the eyes of some of those closest to him. "We wouldn't be sincere, Your Holiness, if we didn't tell you that there's a veil of sadness on our hearts this evening," Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, Benedict's longtime deputy, told the Pope at the end of the service, his voice breaking. "Thank you for having given us the luminous example of the simple and humble worker in the vineyard of the Lord," Bertone said, quoting Benedict's words when he first appeared on the loggia overlooking St. Peter's Square after he was elected pope. Smiling and clearly moved, Benedict responded, "Grazie. Now let us return to prayer" - his words bringing to an end several minutes of thundering applause. Then, in a rare gesture and sign of respect, the bishops removed their mitres. "Viva il papa!" the crowd yelled as the pope stepped off the altar, assisted by two clergymen, and ...

Judge Andrew Napolitano, saying on Fox Business Network earlier today that the Justice Department has "resisted in every forum" attempts to gain access to the legal opinions that the drone policy is based on. He said the government has persuaded judges that releasing the information could threaten national security. "Suddenly it shows up in an NBC newsroom earlier this week! It could only have come from a governmental source. So they really have made fools of the federal judges who've spent hours and days and weeks struggling over the laws involved here," said Napolitano, who called the document itself "breathtaking and chilling" because of the power it grants the government. "It says 'any informed high-level US government official can strip an American of his or her constitutional protections and order the killing of that American if the person is overseas, if it's difficult to arrest that person," said Napolitano, explaining that the memo does not clearly define what "imminent danger" to the United States means. "This is the power claimed by kings and tyrants. This is about as un-American a power as one could imagine," he said.
