>> this is al jazeera. >> hello and welcome to the newshour. live from al jazeera headquarters in doha are -- in the world's top news stories. public anger in the united states over the acquittal of george zimmerman, who killed an

unarmed black teenager. egypt's interim government takes shape despite strong opposition from the muslim brotherhood and calls for more protests. wave of attacks across iraq. more than 50 people killed in mostly shia areas. houses gos fashion scouting. a demonstrations are taking place in cities across the united states following the acquittal of george zimmerman, who shot and killed an unarmed black teenager in florida last year. in new york, thousands gathered to protest the verdict. rallies have been taking place in chicago, san francisco, miami, and washington dc.

the case has gripped america over the role of race in the killing. the justice department will examine whether new prosecution is possible under federal law. at a local church in miami gardens, parishioners came out for their normal service. but this is the neighborhood trayvon martin grew up in. the decision to find george zimmerman not guilty has left them reeling. disappointment and injustice is palpable here at the church. most will tell you this is a simple case of racial profiling by george zimmerman and the stanford please. he will also say -- they will also say that there are trayvon martins in every u.s. city. >> i am very upset. a young man walking home from the stories killed and nothing is done about it. >> i think it is a hurt on the nation right now. we are at a point where things need to change.

>> if it had been the other way haved, a black man would been in jail. simple as that. >> as the verdict was read saturday night, trayvon martin supporters reacted against police. >> not guilty. >> nationwide protests. >> people took to the streets to voice their anger. protests and in you'd into sunday. >> this decision is really unbelievable. how can you not hold an armed man who killed an unarmed kid responsible for the death? , it is not right for that to happen. >> for george zimmerman, who walked out of the court a free man, things may be far from over. he justice department is looking into launching a civil case that could see the neighborhood watch volunteer back in court. >> if there is a civil court -- case, it is almost impossible

that zimmerman would not take the stand. that could be critical to a future case. >> demonstrations have been marked by a subdued sadness in a verdict many view as a miscarriage of judgment -- of justice. they want to make sure trayvon martin's death was not in vain. >> hillary sultan is the washington bureau director for the national association for the advancement of colored people. orlando,me from florida. if i could first get your reaction to the acquittal of george zimmerman. has justice been served in this case? >> not at all. it is quite outrageous. it is outrageous that a 17-year- old kid can be stalked, a costed, get into a scuffle, and then be shot to death by someone, is later acquitted and allowed to go home.

it is such a low consideration for african-american life and the kind of profiling that was done in this case is something that clearly has to change. >> we will look at the issue of racial profiling a little bit later. but what now? the naacp is calling for a civil rights case to be brought up against zimmerman. >> absolutely. out to the department of justice, attorney general eric holder, and said it would be important to have a federal investigation of this case on a civil rights basis. that the state case was a travesty. to have a law that was interpreted as it is in florida, in which the only issues were not that the young man was pursued, not that the law enforcement officers told him to step back, not that he was armed , and not the fact that trayvon martin was unarmed, with nothing in his possession other than

candy and a can of iced tea, our concern is that it makes it too easy for someone to take someone else's life and get away with it. withe naacp is in touch trayvon martin's family. is this what they want, a civil rights case to be brought against zimmerman? >> yes indeed. it is our hope that we will not only see a civil rights case wrought by the federal government, but also by the martin family. justice needs to be served in this case. it cannot be left this way. what we are seeing now is thousands of people across the country in cities from the east to the west, north to the south, all saying the same thing. there has to be justice in this case and we have not yet seen that. >> this case has sparked anger and a debate about racial profiling. how big an issue is this? how much racial profiling goes on in the u.s.? problemill have a major

with this issue. when law enforcement utilizes ,heir power to stop people assuming that, because of their race, there is a need for what we call a pre-textural stop. it is not that a crime has been committed, but because of that person's race, it is perceived that they are either in the wrong place, they should not be in that place because of their race, or that they are about to commit a crime simply because of what they look like. simply because of who they are. it has to stop. we have looked at highway stretches in which we had african-americans and others and there are disproportionate stops if we do the data and statistics. what that does is undercut the trust and integrity in law enforcement. in this case, we had mr. zimmerman, a volunteer community watch captain. in this case, he decides to use a strategy that is too often used by law enforcement across

the country. that is deciding that because of mr. martin's color, his race, that he needed to be apprehended. >> thank you very much for speaking to us. >> it was an honor being with you. thank you for having me. news, at least one person has been killed in an attack in egypt north sinai province. unidentified five -- fighters fired rocket propelled reneges. the side of the border bordering the gaza strip and israel has seen a sharp rise in attacks. of military says it is part a campaign to clamp down on fighters in the sinai desert who were using the tunnel to smuggle weapons, supplies, and people. the move has already pushed up prices of supplies in the gaza strip.
