twenty nine of them children under the age of fifteen. a saudi led coalition has released a statement saying the strikes were and legitimate targets you see rebels say the attack was blatant and deliberate. and attacks are continuing on both sides of the gaza israel from t.m. more rockets have been fired into israel and at least seven people injured in an israeli airstrike on a cultural center and gaza. well now months of national debate in argentina ended with politicians voting against legalizing elective abortion the final vote followed more than seventeen hours of arguments in parliament and it was close thirty eight to thirty one against the bill pro-abortion rights campaigners say they may have lost the battle but the war is not that's now speak to our latin america editor newman who is and when is iris how are people reacting to the vote.

hello mary i'm well column has returned to our site is where not so long ago tens of thousands of people in favor and against this abortion law had covered the streets outside of the congress building in this very very divisive and often bitter vote president. spoke just a few hours ago in the presidential palace you see behind me and he tried to bring some harmony he said that this vote regardless of the outcome had children arjan times were willing to debate something that had been to bull until not so long ago we said it was a sign of maturity of democracy in the country as for the people who lost this vote there were a lot of tears i have to say marian this morning three o'clock in the morning when the vote finally came down but the advocates of abortion say as you mentioned earlier that it is not over by a long shot that they're going to continue to campaign they're going to come back with a new law which could be proposed as early as next year to the congress and that

they will not stop until abortion is absolutely legal in this country and you are pro abortion advocates blaming. well that is an interesting thing you know i would have you would have thought that they would be blaming the most conservative senators who voted against this remember that the lower house had approved it narrowly earlier last month but instead there i think that the because that's greatest anger that i'm seeing. i was being addressed at the catholic church and in fact directly at pope francis who had tried to influence the vote he had called some senators reportedly tried to appeal to them to vote the the right way and the catholic church did and did pressure very very strongly this is a catholic country after all so people were saying to us how is it possible that if we don't believe in this dog the catholic church that doesn't that about laws abortion even contraception and divorce that we should have to go along with that

in a society that is where there's supposed to be a division between the state and the church and where if you're not a catholic those rules are imposed on you nevertheless so we're seeing a little bit of campaigning now against the catholic church more than we had in the past thank you very much our last america editor lucien human there and one as. the u.s. and african union have all praise joseph kabila his decision not to seek a third term as president of the democratic republic of congo camilla is instead throwing his support behind close ally emmanuel rama zani shuddery but there are still fears he will remain a political force behind the scenes. catherine sawyer reports. when president joseph kabila finally made it clear that he will not be seeking reelection and handed over the baton to man a diary it ended two years of speculation and anxiety characterized by partisan violent confrontations between police and demonstrators some of his critics like

a means to build roads being different parts of the cars some people say that what he's done is not good enough. but his advisers say he's done what he could in incredibly difficult times while doing that we kept on hearing all sorts of bad things about him but most think sanctions here sanctions there are. wars but came from outside to come and invade the country so while fighting the war he was still building what i've just said that music infrastructure were destroyed chords airports bridges you name it. in marketplaces like this one in the heart of kinshasa people say they want a leader who's going to make their lives and more bearable on the basics an end to corruption jobs for their children and to feel they are living in one of the most resource rich countries in the world really is up by free market there that. i want

someone to stabilize the economy so i can take my children to school feed my family and even afford to buy a house. is forty seven years old a shrewd politician many people we've talked to say whatever his legacy the fact that he's agreed not to run for a third to tom can only be a good thing for a country that has never seen a peaceful transition of power catherine saw al-jazeera kinshasa a russian ruble has tumbled to its lowest point in two years after the united states impose new sanctions over a chemical weapons attack on a former russian double agent a crime and has rejected the sanctions as illegal and says it's begun working on retaliatory measures or a challenge reports from moscow. well the kremlin response is that this is categorically unacceptable illegal under international law they say they've claimed again that they had nothing to do with the poisoning of the script and that these new sanctions are essentially inconsistent with the atmosphere of corporation that

they felt they got from donald trump of the helsinki summit with running with putin some weeks ago now where they're saying that washington is an unpredictable actor on the international stage and they don't know yet what they're going to do to respond because the kremlin says it doesn't have enough information about what these u.s. sanctions actually are. however this is in concert with another package of sanctions that looks to be shaping up in washington d.c. has rattles russian markets the ruble has fallen to its lowest level in twenty months and russian stocks and shares are being here to the script how sanctions come into bundles the first bundle comes into play on august the twenty second and involves limits on the exports of u.s. goods that washington considers to be of national security importance then if the

d.c. does not get the assurance from moscow that is demanding that it won't use chemical weapons again a new round of sanctions comes in in ninety days time and that will be as they put it more draconian then this separate package of sanctions that is being. cooked up in washington d.c. could further hit russia's oil and gas sector banks and look into the assets of president vladimir putin all of this shows i think really that whatever donald trump says to write him a putin there is a large and powerful establishment in washington d.c. that does not like what trump is doing with regret. it's russia and obviously there's no trust blood in me that is trying to protect itself from the activities of these two men with two feels may not be in the united states best interests an

and violent crime affecting native american women it is an issue that continues to scar native american communities online is being discussed with the hash tag m m i w that is short the missing and murdered indigenous women in their cases receive very little media attention and often suffer from a lack of law enforcement coordination between tribal and local police more than four out of five native american women are expected to experience violence within their lifetime on some reservations native women are murdered far above the national average but the numbers aren't entirely clear that's because comprehensive statistics aren't kept at a national level so we wanted to know why native american women are more likely to become victims of violent crime and what should be done to protect them joining us to discuss this in portland oregon jacqueline keeler is a d.n.a. dakota writer and activist in eureka california anita lucas e is

a southern descendant and doctoral student at the university of left which anita maintains one of the largest databases of cases of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls in canada and the united states and in boulder colorado carla frederick's is a director of the american indian law clinic ad american indian law program and that is at the university of colorado she is an inroad member of that madman a hit that's out of card a nation of north dakota ladies i wish i could get you here under better circumstances but thank you so much for helping us unpack this series of stories and this phenomena in north america anita this database is extraordinary can you tell us a little bit about it how it was set up what it does. sure where we got it being inspired. work study a few years ago. in trying to assess how all the different ways that native people

i mean to disappear within north america and then trying to find an accurate number of missing or murdered native women i found that everyone has a different number everyone has a different list none of them out completely none of them are updated frequently and it really was just a mess trying to work through it and so at that point i felt a responsibility to step in and saw about. these aren't just numbers that these are people these a life these are families can you share some of those family stories because the stats that we have at the top of the show i can't believe that this is almost any major family that hasn't been touched by some tragedy or violence or abuse all something else that almost unbelievable. there really isn't any native family that hasn't been touched by this in some way and to give you an example of some of the cases in the database. you know for me one of the most personal cases is i actually

have a runner who has been missing from browning montana which is on the blackfeet nation in northern montana and she has been missing for over a year and while she has been a family member she was a student when i taught at the tribal college and she was beautiful inside and out had a very bright future was in her final semester about to graduate and you know i was really the grief that her family is experiencing is something that her community feels as well and they really galvanized you on her case because that grief is felt so deeply unfortunately she's not alone in need of course as you mentioned among people are sharing the story of another person right here tweeds this is a living alone bear her body was discovered in a truck at the bottom of a lake in north dakota please consider sharing this so her death isn't in vain and help spread awareness another person writing about her case it is confirmed are

smiting sister has been found please pray for her children and her family and all those that have helped in the efforts to find her jacqueline talked to us about olivia thirty two year old north dakota woman who went missing in october twenty seventh tina know you were writing about her case and covering the story. yes i wrote a piece for high country news about the as you case and in may and i got to travel out to tune in to north dakota to. hold the community where she's from and talk to her family and see the search going on on the ground and they searched for over over eight months and so it's it was quite tragic news for them to find out that she's a mother of four living children one deceased and and that she and she came home but sadly she came home. you know she was she was found her

body was found in a truck that she'd been gone missing in and it was found over twenty feet in the water in like suffolk aliya on her reservation checking i think it's important to note that you don't bring in. you know she the truck when it was found it had been found for days and her family had struggled with law enforcement for days to get law enforcement to respond adequately in determining that the vehicle was hers and to find out you know if she was in error or if any evidence pertinent to her case was in it and i think that shows a really powerful example of how difficult it can be and working with law enforcement on this issue and how things need to change you know a woman she has children they're about to start a new school year and they deserve to know where their mom was and law enforcement could have and should have responded to that better. you know my article and it was called no crime scene because basically she was told by her family that because

there was no crime scene they couldn't even report her as a missing person they wouldn't do they would accept a missing person's report the tribal police and throughout this the family felt very strongly that the that the case was not taken seriously they had you lie the searching themselves they were urging they really wanted a search of the water and you know that the reservation is over a million acres and it's in the center of the bach and the oil fracking oil fields in arctic oda and it and they could not get the police to address this issue or to to actually search the water and there keep in fact at the press conference after she was found last friday her her her that little bear her cousin said that that they are being put off again about a water search until october they waited for the water to unfreeze and but really it's i hear this story over and over again you know from the loring family in

montana here and i live in the pacific northwest on the yakima reservation you know where often sadly enough the police are not helpful in helping to find. hoping to find some and that there is no protocol in place regarding this whole issue about tribal police federal police police response generally so we've actually i'm a member of were brutal and then he got so regret tried and as you mentioned before olivia was also remember my tribe and we worked extensively with the tribal. issues how to prosecute and investigate crimes on the reservation as jack jack go inside the reservation there's about a million acres and it's larger than the state of delaware there's only fourteen tribal police tribes here tax and so any tribe who used to. paid for by the tribe through whatever revenue it's able to establish through development or through.

any number of. their gaming base and to privatise so fourteen police to police the size of the state of delaware and delaware has i think twelve hundred state troopers and that doesn't include local police so there is a big mismatch there in terms of things like you're making it sound like it's a resource issue and it's absolutely resources and it's absolutely jurisdiction so that we rank so with more raising serious they would know they wouldn't be mr missing indigenous swimming if there was more money so is now is that is that a hierarchy of well because. about jurisdiction and that's about. so you say what you can do on tribal land and what you can do on non-tribal that's right and the rate that we're talking about that olivia was found in is actually. systemic sent back to atlanta because that rate was originally of the community of elbow woods which was flooded out to provide electricity for the pixel own project

and my tribe was relocated to five segments around the lake and so there is more coastline on my reservation than the pacific coast of california so i don't know how without adequate resources and there there's the percy adequate one force that responds our marriage their patient in particular. and carla picking up on what you're saying there and i just wanted to bring this week in because a it picks up on what carla was saying. tweets under current law tribes cannot prosecute non-natives for sexual assault and native american victims are denied access to justice i mean can you weigh in here how is this. completely true. and. fortunately f.b.i. declines about seventy percent of the cases of sexual assault involving a native victim that they received so you know that creates an environment where

people know that that kind of violence is normal and ok and that there aren't any consequences because of these jurisdictional. gaps where people are able to you know exploit. you know i do want to add in discussing the issue of jurisdiction and it's not just cases even a case that happens you know off the reservation this jurisdiction question is still an issue so needs are going to be very confined to national audience watching it because even in the u.s. people don't understand this jurisdiction the f.b.i. is on a reservation can they go into reservation and investigate a motive or a missing person and they just kind of do that and i go anyway they have the responsibility to do that in your head and the big question that i think we would all ask is why why isn't that happening why is that not happening we don't know i think that you know one of the things and thinking about this issue that's been very obvious to me is that it is a human rights issue and there has been a situation through u.s.

law where indian people have been raised in multiple ways particularly with respect to when they're in a situation where they're victims of crime instead of being looked at like every other person in the united states what can we do to prosecute this the quick the first question is who did it because that's who decides how it's decided how it's prosecuted so is that in india potentially is the way it's potentially going to stray what crime is that sometimes you're behind some of the stripping and that that has no direct getting help i. got a finish a sentence that has silenced you can i sing because it never considers the victim and never considers their family and this is a human rights crisis from that was. so i just want to address some of the history behind that the if in the early native reservations are not just like parks they're actually sovereign nations within the united states so they

have jurisdiction over their own lands and and they have nations actually legally have a status higher than states you know that the the u.s. government doesn't sign treaties with anyone but nations the senate doesn't ratify treaties when you're that nations and so what happened was in the nineteenth century there was some disagreement i'm dukkha to sue and and and. reservation there was actually a person prosecution a murder and back east and you know there was all the yellow journalism going on and they made a big deal about it and so they took away jurisdiction over a five major crimes that the tribes enjoyed including murder and so this is why that goes under the jurisdiction of the f.b.i. and then later yes a later even more jurisdiction is taken away in in the twentieth century and whereby tribes could not have jurisdiction over non federally enrolled people so if

you're not rolled in a federal federally recognized tribes the native nation does not have jurisdiction over you which leaves a huge gap in prosecution of these crimes and leaves native women incredibly vulnerable and of course in two thousand and thirteen the violence against women's act was passed with amendments to address this gap but the address and a very narrow scope and just with domestic violence only if it's between committed partners so if you're talking about cases of actual sex trafficking you know it wouldn't apply there. it was spot on for two years this event was fought by republicans in congress and some of the arguments are well you know we don't want to try to have jurisdiction over us if we can't vote in their law. actions but you go to other countries and you are under the jurisdiction of that country whether or not you can vote in that country you know that's just how it is and but there's this great and willingness to basically give tribes jurisdiction over white people

and as white men they're committing most of these crimes and in her holding to the data we had which is which is not perfect but allegedly seventy percent of the perpetuators of these violent crimes against native women are white men and if that was not like this i ask you this then so then this becomes a race crime hate crimes this is racism well it's definitely i want to see you nodding because i don't want to put was in your own mouth you are native i am not you tell me what it is the part of you i get it this is the only way you can refer to me that's right that's missing him or indigenous women issue is very similar in my memory to black lives matter. native women matter and our lives matter and what is going on in this country and has been going on in this country for centuries to deny us our basic humanity and our basic right to life you

know not prosecuting not anything not investigating and creating a situation that you're describing accurately as one where criminals feel empowered to go and he's going to ration these crimes because they know there is no consequence again like i said it's a human rights issue and it's a human rights issue because. that's what it is and we can call it that and we shouldn't be afraid. and carla in addition to that and then some of the consequences i want to bring this in here because in addition to that the seemingly no consequences there's also people online saying these things also aren't reported as well as they should be any here on twitter says i woke up this morning to see the news talking about a missing woman on the news and thinking about how finding the body of a living alone bear who we mentioned earlier didn't make a blip in national news why because i mean if women is as american as apple pie another person marty tweets into the stream saying there is no reporting system

there is no news coverage there is no follow up they cut short search efforts and then the families have to rely on fund raising to continue searching for their loved ones and it's a continuous cycle of native people being swept under the rug as if we don't exists and need to why is this so underreported. well i think there's a number of factors and it ties into the point that i wanted to make on issues of jurisdiction and racism it's not just tribal police or the f.b.i. that failing native women and it's not just you know this this issue doesn't happen just on reservations for example savannah grey went with mention she wasn't living on the reservation she was living in an urban area and it wasn't tribal police that failed her it was local police there's an ongoing case right now her name is khadija britton she's here in northern california she was kidnapped at knife point by her abusive ex-boyfriend a witness testified to that fact and for some reason that wasn't enough because when he showed up in the courtroom they decided to dismiss the charges because

could either wasn't there in court to testify well she wasn't in court because she still missing and her family is still fundraising and doing ground searches themselves so that's another example of law enforcement that have totally failed to not only protect a native woman but hold the perpetrator accountable and that was the county sheriff that wasn't tribal police or the f.b.i. you know and in collecting this data one thing that we've done is compare community source data to law enforcement data to see ok where are the gaps happening and what are those miscommunications happening for example the state of washington recently passed legislation that the washington state patrol is required to collect data on all missing native people in the state and report that to the governor's office we compare the dot of the state patrol currently has to what we have in the database and found the state patrol is missing at least a third of missing native women and girls in the state from their records and of

those cases only about ten percent are cases that happen on a reservation so you need to think that really other you know you help you help. all the old and i say sions all the departments he should have this information you will helping that man with his knife. weta that they don't have is this activism and the work that's happening within the community where we are saying this is not good enough i'm wondering if what you're doing can we put that under progress. well actually had he said i had you had kept has put together a law suit and his act to cut collect more data right and but if it is it does come down to this idea which one of the two years marty mention which is that we are invisible in general and so when we're when we die you know it's not national news and or when our bodies are found and often they are not found you know and so it's

. you know i think i made a comparison in my article with the movie wind river a hollywood movie depicting. a missing martin to just woman and girl and and you know there the body right away and then it's just simply not the case most of the time but yeah i think i want to show this because i think this helps us sort of visualize what's going on this is a face but the missing in indian country what it does is it shows you some of the people who either missing or there remains remain on identify and it gives you just a little glimpse into it's not just women it's it's all different members of the native communities but this is happening on social social media and i'm wondering kala is this the way the community is saying we are doing this for ourselves we are not going to be victims forever right i mean i think that's

a really great and i think a tremendous amount that can be done with collaboration with the grassroots with the tribes between state and local law enforcement and the federal government and that's really what we've recommended in our work that this is an all harems armed attack type of problem. given the type of circumstance that. given the route and the number of cases it does require what we call a comprehensive solution and that comprehensive solution have to be ground. having a victim centered approach and that's really what's missing no one's working together no one's thinking about the victims and what anita is doing is amazing and i'll be e-mailing her after this if we can integrate her dad and what we're doing but frankly you know need as work should be supported by the federal government because it's their responsibility to collect this data and they're not doing it you know this is this is

a player where i just don't government has actually requested access to my data because they know that i have things they don't there was a case last week where someone called in with a tip and said hey we know this girl is missing we've seen her in such and such location please check up on her and the f.b.i. had no record of her and had no idea she was missing but she was logged in the database so i was able to provide that information to them and in the process tell them you know clearly this moment has demonstrated there's value in the community maintaining a role in protecting and caring for those data because we do it in a way that these agencies even though they're paid to do it you know and to clarify i'm unpaid this is been three years of unpaid work that i've done as a community member. i know we're doing a better job and these are called tell tell us what i'm saying one thing to say when the last one minute of the show so i just need one thing that makes the situation better column one thing by one needs to be amended to include all sexual

violence credits against women sat. to be updated as we're in trouble i mean one thing so ban as an act means to be amended to require law enforcement to pull archival data on this issue and that it needs to be written with an enforcement mechanism. tribal sovereignty needs to be reckoned and stored particularly the issue of jurisdiction this is easy off the community they have the answers they have the solutions ladies thank you for joining us we continue our indigenous series next thursday and we will be looking at south africa's san pedro and other indigenous groups who are taking charge of how i answer politics study them they are giving them guidelines you can do this you cannot do this we also want to know about your indigenous stories that you would like us to tell it so you can find us on facebook at the strain and at a day stream on twitter and then you can tell us your story and i'll make an i in the team like it you'll find it right here in the next couple of weeks thank you so

since this one here has. i.

my name is roberta hello i'm from the mohawk nation grammar territory. i'm a survivor of the mohawk institute residential school i was here as a student from one nine hundred fifty seven to january one thousand sixty one and i came here with six of my family. a lot of their memories here that's for sure. these are really familiar to me. used to play on us on the girl side i was playing down in the basement of the girl's side and my mother had come out to the visiting area and the little kids had said your mother is here you want to go see her night and they ran i ran but when i got to the door way over there i froze right in front of the stairs and i couldn't move and i just stood there crying crying crying and the more i cried the worse it got and i could see myself i could

actually like an out of body experience i could see this little girl crying and it was me but i and the little girl said well if you don't don't you love your mother or don't you want to see your mother and i said you know i did i really did she say she's going to leave you you know she's going to leave if you don't go see her so at that time i knew that she would goal then i things just kind of came back honestly i just took off running up the stairs. and i went and sat on my mother. that that time all i did was cry. i just cried. when i was in because if you don't want to see her i loved her but we just saw her have to part with her year. because my mother was like she was really good mood you know.

it's. not much. to say i'm only good times here they are all written by the bed and there is enormous there is a tremendous amount of evil that went on here. so the whole institution itself was run by fear so it was very regimented more like a military style you lined up for everything to line up for your meals lined up to go to school you lined up to go to church just like that follow that routine and you would be ok if you followed and didn't break the rules you know so you just follow the rules. i didn't have the freedom as a as a child or as it young teenager and always caney wonders if her vision of somebody but we got them both six o'clock and we were sent down to the cold

play room and it was always cold in the basement early morn still a lot of chillin air and yet they put us in the big spender room and we had to keep warm whoever we could. be there no canes a farm were they work on a farm so long that. i picked up a certain discipline the poor hard worker to get me or i'm going. and i think at some point there was somebody here that i don't know if it was a kid or a supervisor told me i would never leave here you know so that really stuck in my mind that i was going to be in this place forever. you're isolated all you see is this world around you this is it that was my world i didn't learn about all those other things that were going on until my adult life i didn't know there was all those other residential schools i don't think anybody in canada knew that much so

it was kept very secret up and yet when you start to look at every residential school across canada you find the same thing. came to the morgan city we're going to is. six or seven years old and i spent six years here. i was picked up on a new. review and. walking on a road. we're going to visit my grandmother one day and they still i'd be back in ninety three. years for less than one girl my sister. and we came over that little rise over there and we didn't burn down here. in the black car for long so alice. and we didn't know it was that it's i.

the driver said you know they were right there. and said no we didn't know where they were. we kept on walking and they kept face of us in the car. and they kept training at us to get in. and we refuse for. a hundred yards that way. and they offered us some way screaming jello at the restaurant intent. and i had a scream there too we finished we all loaded back up in the car but they never went back the way they came they went around away from the reason i fell asleep. and i never will go up until we.
