doing? >> could you tell? if you couldn't, stay tune. because it's pretty bad. let's get started. okay, we begin this half-hour with the first court appearance by the boston bombing suspect. >> police officers, family members who lost loved ones and survivors packing the courtroom. abc's pierre thomas was there. >> reporter: dzhokhar tsarnaev arrived at federal court under extreme security with divers even checking nearby waterways for bombs. he walked into the courtroom in shackles. the left side of his face was swollen and his left forearm was bandaged. he answered not guilty to all charges and blew a kiss to his sister sitting in the court. but for his victims and their families -- >> he never looked at us, never turned in our direction. we were sitting directly behind him. >> reporter: look at this picture taken minutes before the bombing. police say this man is tsarnaev, this little boy, martin richard killed in the blast, and over there, two brothers, paul and j.p. norton each lost a leg.

if you had an opportunity to speak to him directly what would you say? >> probably wouldn't do too much talking with him. i probably would have no cameras or anything there. >> reporter: j.p.'s uncle and mother liz came to court. >> i wanted to see who changed our lives forever. >> reporter: after she saw tsarnaev in court she was disgusted. >> what struck you about his demeanor? >> he was smirking. i don't know. he just had the audacity to smirk at us. >> reporter: outside the court, 20 mit officers stood at attention, tsarnaev accused of killing one of their own as he tried to outrun authorities. >> i didn't see the remorse. i didn't see the nervousness, the fear, or, i didn't see any of that. >> reporter: tsarnaev's sisters cried as he was led out of the courtroom. if convicted he potentially faces the death penalty. pierre thomas, abc news, boston. jurors in the george zimmerman trial could get the case tomorrow afternoon. attorneys present their closing arguments today, and the judge will give the jury instructions. the defense rested its case yesterday without calling zimmerman to the stand.

we spoke to the former colleague sunny hostin covering the trial in sanford. >> the jury has already heard him give his version of events, right? they heard him on audio tape. they have even see a re-enactment of the night he did with another -- with law enforcement. it doesn't make a lot of sense for him to get on the witness stand. the jury is not going to hold it against him if he doesn't. >> the prosecution asking the jury consider three charges against zimmerman -- second degree murder, manslaughter and aggravated assault. >> jury watchers and experts, the entire length of this trial have said, it is unlikely that he will take the stand. we heard him already say what happened that night over and over and over again. >> right. he can only lose.ç he really can't come out any better. >> essentially what you are doing is, opening it up so the prosecution can kind of catch you in lies or take you down the path where you don't want to go, or show some other interview that you have already done, or you know, some kind of inconsistency, something small, something big you might have

said. i can understand why he decided he wasn't going to do it. what was interesting in court though -- was that the judge kind of put her foot down and said, "you need to tell me right now if you are going to take the stand." which is really not something you see every day in the courtroom. >> incredible how fast they have been moving along. this is like a textbook. just been going point "a," point "b," point "c." we're almost there. >> i think so. all right. police in sanford are calling for peace and calm once the zimmerman verdict is made public. with the help of local teenagers along with miami heat star james jones, they launched a campaign, raise your voice not your hand. >> raise your voice. >> not your hands. >> stand together as one. no cuss, no guns. >> let's give violence a rest we can easily invent. >> your patience will be tested. >> law enforcement has your back. >> back up and choose not to act up. deputies are with us. no need to act up. >> let it roll off your shoulders, water off your back.

symbol of waste in afghanistan, the butt of jokes among marines. as big as a football field, with fine furnishings, spacious conference rooms, theater seating, and offices fit for a corporate executive. your tax dollars, 34 million of them at work. >> better than the pentagon. i have never seen a building better constructed than this. and we're going to destroy it. >> reporter: that's right. you heard the inspector general. destroy it. bad enough to spend millions of dollars on this kind of building in a war zone, but even more outrageous when you consider this. it has never been used. a marine corps commander asked that the project be halted long before it started. and it will likely be demolished before our troops leave because it is too expensive for afghans to even operate. >> what this epitomizes what we have seen in afghanistan time and again. if you appropriate it, we will spend it. even if we don't need it.ç

>> reporter: getting to the root of a bad decision is difficult. >> i called the air force, they told me to call the office of the secretary of defense. >> the matter is currently under investigation. >> reporter: and who's investigating it? >> u.s. forces afghanistan. >> reporter: which is the answer you will get from afghanistan. they are investigating. but the project is just one more example of taxpayer waste in america's longest war. we could get anything we wanted, said one officer. it was insane. martha raddatz, abc news, washington. bizarre weather phenomenon is causing all kind of problems near phoenix. >> huge wall of dust blew through the area turning day light to darkness making driving virtually impossible. weather experts say it was caused by outflowing winds from a thunderstorm that kicked up lots of dust that hangs in the air. >> i believe it's called a haboob. >> haboob. i heard about this year.

to their children. the biggest difference, all prenatal care and birthing in the uk is free, and while kate is using obs, most women use midwives through the whole process. the royal contributor victoria murphy is due the same time as kate. >> there is quite a lot of emphasis on the natural approach, actually, to child birth. >> in the uk we aim for natural child birth as much as possible with as little intervention as possible. >> reporter: in fact, once labor starts, many uk hospitals encourage giving birth without anesthesia, using as little pain medication as possible. epidurals are less frequent and patients are offered laughing gas and birthing tubs to reduce pain. c-section rates are three times higher in the u.s. than the uk. but the c-section rate at roosevelt hospital in new york city is much lower than the national average. as the city's only in-hospital birthing center, they encourage

no this morning on "world news now," no remorse. that's what the victims of the boston bombers saw when dzhokhar tsarnaev appeared in court to enter a plea of not guilty. plus, closing arguments are set to begin today in the trial of george zimmerman. local law enforcement is ready. releasing a video urging the public to stay calm. plus, it used to be a place where sin and skin were common. this morning meet the artist whose naked art is one of the biggest draws in times square. in "the skinny," more bad behavior from the biebs. this time though we think he has really outdone himself. it's thursday, july 11th. from abc news, this is "world news now" with john muller and diana perez.

>> good thursday morning, everybody. >> yeah, the biebs video in "the skinny" is what was he thinking? >> could you tell what he was doing? >> could you tell? if you couldn't, stay tuned. because it's pretty bad. let's get started. okay, we begin this half-hour with the first court appearance by the boston bombing suspect. >> police officers, family members who lost loved ones and survivors packing the courtroom. abc's pierre thomas was there. >> reporter: dzhokhar tsarnaev arrived at federal court under extreme security with divers even checking nearby waterways for bombs. he walked into the courtroom in shackles. the left side of his face was swollen and his left forearm waç bandaged. he answered not guilty to all charges and blew a kiss to his sister sitting in the court. but for his victims and their families -- >> he never looked at us, never turned in our direction. we were sitting directly behind him. >> reporter: look at this picture taken minutes before the bombing. police say this man is tsarnaev, this little boy, martin richard killed in the blast, and over there, two brothers, paul and j.p. norton each lost a leg. if you had an opportunity to

speak to him directly, what would you say? >> probably wouldn't do too much talking with him. i probably would have no cameras or anything there. >> reporter: j.p.'s uncle and mother liz came to court. >> i wanted to see who changed our lives forever. >> reporter: after she saw tsarnaev in court she was disgusted. >> what struck you about his demeanor? >> he was smirking. i don't know. he just had the audacity to smirk at us. >> reporter: outside the court, 20 mit officers stood at attention, tsarnaev accused of killing one of their own as he tried to outrun authorities. >> i didn't see the remorse. i didn't see the nervousness, the fear, or, i didn't see any of that. >> reporter: tsarnaev's sisters cried as he was led out of the courtroom. if convicted he potentially faces the death penalty. pierre thomas, abc news, boston. jurors in the george zimmerman trial could get the case tomorrow afternoon. attorneys present their closing arguments today, and the judge will give the jury instructions. the defense rested its case yesterday without calling zimmerman to the stand.

we spoke to the former colleague sunny hostin covering the trial in sanford. >> the jury has already heard him give his version of events, right? they heard him on audio tape. they've even seen a re-enactment of the night he did with another -- with law enforcement. it doesn't make a lot of sense for him to get on the witness stand. the jury is not going to hold it against him if he doesn't. >> the prosecution asking the jury consider three charges against zimmerman -- second degree murder, manslaughter and aggravated assault. >> jury watchers and experts, the entire length of this trial have said, it is unlikely that he will take the stand. we heard him already say what happened that night over and over and over again. >> right. he can only lose. he really can't come out any better. >> essentially what you are doing is opening it up so the prosecution can kind of catch you in lies or take you down the path where you don't want to go, or show some other interview that you have already done, or you know, some kind of inconsistency, something small,

or big in what you might have said. i can understand why he decided he wasn't going to do it. what was interesting in court though -- was that the judge kind of put her foot down and said, "you need to tell me right now if you are going to take the stand." which is really not something you see every day in the courtroom. >> incredible how fast they have been moving along. this is like a textbook. just been going point "a," point "b," point "c." we're almost there. >> i think so. all right. police in sanford are calling for peace and calm once the zimmerman verdict is made public. with the help of local teenagers along with miami heat star james jones, they launched a campaign, raise your voice and not your hands. >> raise your voice. >> not your hands. >> stand together as one. no cuss, no guns. >> let's give violence a rest we can easily end up arrested. >> your patience will be tested. >> law enforcement has your back. o act up. deputies are with us. no need to act up. >> let it roll off your shoulders, water off your back. don't lack composure because in one instance it could be over. >> let's make the choice to

raise your voice and not your hands. >> the basic message, keep the protests peaceful let law enforcement handle the troublemakers. they are trying to promote this with #raiseyourvoice on twitter. 20 bodies have been pulled away from that charred scene of the runaway train crash in canada. officials told families 30 other people still missing are presumed dead. head of the rail company in the fiery derailment is blaming the engineer for failing to set the brakes properly. that engineer has been suspended without pay. the worst flooding western china has seen in half a century is being blamed for seven deaths. the raging floodwaters destroying homes, triggering landslides that have buried dozens of people. nearly 50 people are still missing. half a million have been forced to evacuate. as the war in afghanistan is winding down, there's a new controversy that's heating up. it is over a multimillion dollar complex on the battlefield that has never been used. abc's chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz has all the details. >> reporter: it is a monumental symbol of waste in afghanistan,

the butt of jokes among marines. as big as a football field, with fine furnishings, spacious conference rooms, theater seating, and offices fit for a corporate executive. your tax dollars, 34 million of them at work. >> better than the pentagon. i have never seen a building better constructed than this. and we're going to destroy it. >> reporter: that's right. you heard the inspector general. destroy it. bad enough to spend millions of dollars on this kind of building in a war zone, but even more outrageous when you consider this. it has never been used. a marine corps commander asked that the project be halted long before it started. and it will likely be demolished before our troops leave because it is too expensive for afghans to even operate. >> what this epitomizes what we have seen in afghanistan time and again. if you appropriate it, we will

spend it. even if we don't need it. >> reporter: getting to the root of a bad decision is difficult. >> i called the air force, they told me to call the office of the secretary of defense. >> the matter is currently under investigation. >> reporter: and who's investigating it? >> u.s. forces afghanistan. >> reporter: which is the answer you will get from afghanistan. they are investigating. but the project is just one more example of taxpayer waste in america's longest war. we could get anything we wanted, said one officer. it was insane. martha raddatz, abc news, washington. bizarre weather phenomenon is causing all kind of problems near phoenix. >> huge wall of dust blew through the area turning day light to darkness making driving virtually impossible. weather experts say it was caused by outflowing winds from a thunderstorm that kicked up lots of dust that hangs in the air. >> i believe it's called a haboob. >> haboob. i heard about that this year.

labor. she is going to be very comfortable and well looked after. >> reporter: sounds familiar, and yet, compared to the u.s., there are vast differences in the way the british give birth to their children. the biggest difference, all prenatal care and birthing in the uk is free, and while kate is using obs, most women use midwives through the whole process. abc news royal contributor victoria murphy is due the same time as kate. >> there is quite a lot of emphasis on the natural approach, actually, to child birth. >> in the uk we aim for natural child birth as much as possible with as little intervention as possible. >> reporter: in fact, once labor starts, many uk hospitals encourage giving birth without ç anesthesia, using as little pain medication as possible. epidurals are less frequent and patients are offered laughing gas and birthing tubs to reduce pain. c-section rates are three times higher in the u.s. than the uk. but the c-section rate at roosevelt hospital in new york city is much lower than the national average. as the city's only in-hospital birthing center, they encourage natural child birth. >> natural is the way women were designed to have babies, less complications, faster recovery.

>> as long as the person attending the birth is educated and supports the body and the woman and her choices, it's a good experience. >> reporter: an experience a new mom or mum will never forget. bianna golodryga, abc news, london. >> wow. >> laughing gas and a bathtub. >> no, sign me up for the epidural. >> stick it right in here, doc. i'd be with you. i feel your pain. >> no, you don't. >> no, i don't but i'd take the epidural. i know what you mean. i don't feel your pain. >> i understand like returning to nature, and, they do say that the bathtub. >> make it all natural except for the epidural. >> take the epidural then go in the bathtub. >> there you go. >> i'll take the laughing gas, too. sure. >> have the midwife there and everything else. >> you can hold my hand, we'll all be happy. >> just put in the epidural. >> thank you.
