11:22 pm
white victimhood and also white supremacy, that narrative is absolutely what drives the lone wolf actor. >> reporter: at the time of his arrest dylann roof was quoted as saying, you are reapg our women and taking over the 61. that is code word for a man who once spoke them. >> i think any of us who are blaming things on other people or entities casting blame from ourselves we're cultivating fear. >> he says when words are used as weapons there are no guarantees as to who gets hurt. >> if you have a talk show host who's constantly blaming obama and he's blaming by proxy black people for the problems in our country, it most tragically blaming obama for poor state of our race relations in our 61 country now you are justifying

and validating the narrative that drives these lone wolf actors. >> he also paints to the past as sign that that racist rhetoric has been the weapon of choice for decades. as a result lone wolf attacks come without warning. no one saw it coming in greensboro, north carolina in the late 1970s when the klan shot it out with the communist workers party leesk nine leaving ten dead. timothy mcvey used a truck bomb. >> there may be a shooting at the sikh temp in oak creek. >> when a gunman opened fire in 12, he said he had to do something to stop the violence. he had to speak out. >> if i didn't change my ways, death or prison was likely to take me from my daughter. where. >> reporter: the former skin headskinhead drove 20 hours to

11:31 pm
bilateral, regional and global issues including territorial disputes between several nations in the south china sea. patricia sabga explains. >> satellite photos of china gaining grounds ground. building islands to cement its claim over disputed territory in south china sea. a projects that's drawn strong rebukes from washington. >> we want a peaceful resolution of all disputes and an immediate and lasting halt to land rereclamation by any nation. >> foot holds for asserting rights over rich fishing grounds and potentially vast undersea reserves of owl and gas. such riches led to heightened tensions. china is not the only country that's carved out territory in the south china sea.
11:32 pm
other countries have been building outpost thrts for the there for the past 20 years. a fact beijing says is not reflected in u.s. rhetoric. >> countries such as vietnam philippines, even malaysia, they all have viewed more construction ton reefs and islands than china. before it started. >> china has reclaimed some 2,000 acres in the south china sea since last year. more than all other claimants combined. power play that troubles washington because of tensions between china and its nation escalate into armed conflict the u.s. could get drawn in through military alliances. beijing says it's nearly finished with its land reclamation, but given china
11:33 pm
intends to build up military facilities on these reclaimed islands. patricia sabga, al jazeera. dynasty ruled back during 2,000beck,2,000 b.c. the country mapped and claimed 2,000 islands in the region. at the heart of the dispute is a major trade route that china uses to transport most of its oil imports. exclusive control of that area could disrupt countries in east and southeast asia and china could keep foreign military forces you including including the united states from having a presence in that area. joins us tonight from washington d.c isaac, first of all this meeting that the united states and chinese officials are
11:34 pm
having this week how significant is it and what will you be looking for from this meeting? >> thanks. it is a very significant meeting. usually it's significant because you have top leaders from both sides actually sitting down and talking together. and not saying anything. the meeting in years past has produced some extremely boring press releases. but with all of the tensions going on right now in the south china sea we might actually see some news come out of these meetings. >> what is the news that you're expecting regarding the south china sea? >> i don't think i have anything i'm particularly expecting but we could see some sharp worded statement that says both nations are digging in their heels or some statement that says china is willing to back down a limb morea littlemore than it has done
11:35 pm
since be xi jinping's visit in late september. so the state visit is a success. >> building up for that state visit in september the chinese says that this one issue involving the south china sea should not essentially dominate the agenda. that is their position. but what is the u.s. position, and can the u.s. live with just a verbal agreement over the south china sea in preparation for the big meeting that the president will have with the chinese leader this fall? >> i believe they will live with just a verbal statement. there are a lot of important things that they want to talk to china about too. they want to talk about north korea, they want to talk about trade. they want to talk about this big hacking that's happened. and the south china sea is something where they have the upper hand. china recognizes that other
11:36 pm
nations are seeing it as the gracor and the south china sea is notaggressor. >> to specifically blame china but how much of an issue is this one for the meetings that will take this week? >> i think this will definitely be an issue. it's hard to determine how much about the united states is not only one that gets hacked. china and chinese companies get hacked a lot. we just don't know much about it. chinese reporters are not as tenacious figuring out about the hack as we do in the states. but i just don't think -- i think the u.s. is going to press on it. i don't think china is going to want to talk about it too much. and if we look for somebody to blame then we definitely blame
11:37 pm
people in these officest who set their password as password. >> definitely their own fault to not do something that would protect them better. hong kong, how does that play in the area of one person one vote, how does that affect the discussions this week? >> i think that's going to be something that china is really not going to want to talk about and the u.s. is going to up quite gingerly. you had a big vote on june 18th where pro-democracy people in hong kong the lawmakers in hong kong did not think that was allowing them enough suffrage, enough suffrage for the people of hong kong. united states tries not to wade too deeply into the disputes over hong kong. they say this is a sovereign
11:38 pm
issue, the people of hong kong should be able to deal with it in any way they feel they should. the united states does bring it up in part to be able to publicly say it is on the side of human rights in china. >> there are a number of experts who suggested that the entire u.s. chinese relationship needs a reset given the way things have happened in the last couple of years and in advance of the big meeting coming this fall. do you agree with that, and what should the reset of u.s. chinese relationships focus on and look like? >> that's a good question. i don't think i have a strong position on that either way but this is something we really have to think through. that china is the world's second most powerful country and that they really are ready to compete with us economically politically and militarily. around i think people are realizing it is time for united states to have a plan so that when we think about all the different things that different bodies of the u.s. government
11:39 pm
are doing to engage or to relate with china that it would be nice to have a strategy behind that so it could be more productive in whatever the people making these decisions are really deciding to do with china. do we want to deal with a china that is as strong or stronger than united states? do we want china to remain weaker than the united states? these are things people need to be discussing publicly and we need to think out. >> isaac, thank you for helping us think these issues out we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> several major rulings could be coming this week from the united states supreme court. one of the biggest cases involves the constitutionality of same sex marriage, gay couples in states that currently ban it are making wedding plans hoping that the court will make it legal. turn in to al jazeera america

11:41 pm
kilometers to the south. cienfuego. it draws the tourists, thousands of them. and then cancun of cuba, now many fear that the country will be swallowed by this by what they believe will be the wrong kind of development. >> ironically, the united states can be more of a threat to cuba as its friends than it ever was as its enemy. because millions of us want to with come down and enjoy this place and that creates pressure on cubans to built hotels, to build accommodations and tourist resorts and all that. >> here a new marina waiting for american yachts that will surely come. how to maximize the tourist dollar and yet preserve the
11:42 pm
country's cultural and environmental heritage. >> there's good economics here, there's good deeds to do well, in other parts of this region, cancun or the dominican republic. >> the argue is that cuba's winning quawments draw qualities draw tourists. >> we have the privilege of being the largest caribbean island. we can offer museums and theater, high quality opera many things that the rest of the caribbean islands cannot offer. >> one thing is clear the country has not enough infrastructure to cope with the sheer number of american tourists that are expected. the way forward is going to be slowly and carefully negotiated
