highs and recent polls show that ninety percent of republicans think trump is doing a good job in office and so trump is adamant in issuing this threat or warning however you look at it to his base that they have to turn out in november or ause perhaps risk their pocketbooks now in this long and winding interview with fox news president trump also went on to renew criticism of his attorney general jeff sessions he renewed the the refrain that sessions should not have recused himself from the russian vessel should have us at a stand simply done a better job to protect the president sessions who has long been quiet amid these criticisms did shoot back with a strongly worded statement saying that he would not be influenced by political considerations many are seeing this as the attorney general drawing a line in the sand between himself and the president and it remains to be seen what action if any the president. take finally on this day of much intrigue and breaking

a million people remain in shelters in the indian state of carola as it recovers from the worst floods in a century and they are questioning whether the disaster could have been avoided andrew thomas reports from the town of karbala. hundreds of people have died more than a million fled their homes but how that trip was carolus disaster the quantity of rain was unprecedented two and a half times the normal figure for office so far but environmentalists say properly managed its land and rivers would have absorbed it and channeled it to the sea over development in flood plains is to blame left but. claiming that even as an wetlands for other uses that is one of them a good thing which we did was to do it another way the flood plains in the form of paddy fields on about plants what are they going to accommodate on morsels of water . the floods were made worse a environmentalist by quantities of plastic rubbish clocking rivers stopping them

flowing faster instead the rivers burst their banks but even with those issues the floods say some could have been avoided aside from the long term impact of environmental mismanagement and pollution there is another way that some here are seeing this as a manmade disaster they're blaming those who manage the dams and reservoirs carola has fifty three large reservoirs where the collective capacity of nearly seven trillion liters of water they are managed primarily for hydro electricity production and irrigation for farmers many operators are reluctant to let the water go when it's not needed so they were near capacity before the worst of the rain fell when. did the water had to be suddenly released to stop dam walls breaking people think infrastructure is a security against flood but more of the flood waters did not come from the rain they come from the release of their dams never happened before if we know too much

rain is coming dam should release the waters gently and not impounding the last drop and then flooding people's out of their homes it's likely no one factor caused carolus flooding but human activity and inactivity seem to have made it worse andrew thomas al-jazeera called them. hundreds of young people in chicago are taking part in a basketball tournament called hopes in the hood it aims to promote peace in one of the most violent cities in the u.s. john hendren reports. this is hoops in the hood it's a basketball tournament but it's also a statement about safe neighborhoods in america's most violent major cities each year about five thousand children participate they get together and with the help of the city they block off streets in violence hot spots across chicago and they play and these are violent streets last year thirty five hundred people were shot and more than six hundred of them killed in the city of chicago strada was

indigenous representation in mainstream popular culture usually relegated to subplots mistakes or shamans making a brief appearance to impart some kind of wisdom an indigenous community is often used to represent backwardness and complex histories a rich culture and romanticize brock's have a look and asked studio we have back stories and characters for indigenous and first nation communities. conceived brought to us by indigenous artists and story tell us. all superhero stories and more are now being written by and for indigenous communities not tone down not furthering stereotypes they are instead building representation have a look at aragon star a kickapoo singer and writer and creator of the super indian comic series this is what you have to say. the reason i created super indian was because i was tired of

seeing negative stereotypes about native americans in mainstream comics i wanted to create a character that had native american authenticity and also you know within the artwork and also within the rating as for the future of our indigenous superheroes i predict that there are going to be way more than there are now they're going to be more complex mar shades of grey they'll have access to a lot of high tech they'll be futurism so it's going to be great stick around you're going to want to see what we do. out again stuff if i have a decent time if you can come and see here thank you for that great start to rush oh there's so much to talk about joining us from albuquerque new mexico we have lee francis he's the c.e.o. publisher of native reality he also founded the indigenous comic con that's how the new mexico in the united states in silverdale washington state jeffrey very edgy is

a native american comic artist and designer and in winnipeg canada sonja ballantine is a writer and filmmaker welcome to the stream all of you so i love this what does that . get so yeah that is the wrong way to start with conversation doing it right back to you so when it comes to comic influences our community has a lot to say and we asked them which character stand out for them aaron in there is gateway from the x.-men series and for our audience that isn't familiar with gateway this is him from the marble fandom universe he's an indigenous australian and this is a closer look at gateway li is this character stand out for you when it comes to a good indigenous superhero. i think there's a bunch of things that i thing where they where i really appreciate the ways in which. you know a lot of stuff that came out of marvel and folks because we were writing or drawing

that but. you know i think even to my you know my my business relations there's still control units around the character you know the idea of of. you know sort of that aboriginal. you know the things that we've seen throughout their history being used to sort of the power base i think is a double edged sword and i think that that's you know what we've really been trying to just be about really intentional about in in our representations not only through what we publish but also when we're trying to bring in you know compare everybody like we actually with these positions. so now i want to show you to from your childhood it's the green power ranger i have him here on my laptop when i show you well the green power ranger how on earth is he connected talk conversation that we're having right now tell us well well i found out recently that. tommy oliver was supposed to be is an indigenous character and i i didn't know that when i was a child i no i don't either. i know if i knew that as

a kid because i was like he was the most popular ranger and still is one of the most popular power injures and i'm like he was native like that so who looked. like i think that's one of my one of my clever introduces. secretly native when i have a credit talk about how i consider spock from star trek a native person ok yeah and it's really interesting to me to have that aspect is because like who else could deal with being both vulcan and human being and having so i was like of course he will never found out what his mom was what background is so mike ok she screamed i decided it i say oh it's like i'm like you i've always associated spark just being because my my father's non-native and my mom's do so coming from two worlds you are. yeah. that's

a great compliment. but yeah i feel same way of always felt like spock was a kindred spirit yeah that's one of the big things for me with spock is that he's both dealing with not being vulcan and not them not being human enough and i've always felt that one aspect of native the native experience not being native enough because you can't speak your own language but not being white enough because you're so different everybody else so it's like i don't know anderson why there aren't more nicci people like native people in to start like i felt like the only one for a long time when i was in. but why not us the two. like i did i felt that way with like you know my dad was just like a supercycle i think and and so it was i think it was this wonderful precedent that was set in our own soul this like being native nurture being native tear was not something that was foreign to me and especially like reading comics my dad was

a huge reader so didn't matter if you know i was going out reading comics he was like you know he's got something you're going to read and it's awesome you know i mean this stuff it was like cool there's now i like over the past couple years like a look at all these native nerds will be there around right now. or i met currently reading an article about. visiting cons and the most of the con in my city did not have very many native people going to let until very recently and it's it felt like that again when i was a little kid being the only star trek nerd in northern manitoba itself like oh my god like i'm the only one wire there anymore but just like and so it's very cool to see that it's becoming more acceptable to be a nerd because where some of the nerdiest people in the world so i don't know why i had this well i would have it out is that all right guys let's let's let's get some juice out of here what makes an indigenous superhero fantasy what are the

ingredients that you need tad to make them native fascination indigenous. well our one of the first ones i think is like a lot of a lot of superheroes in general suffer a loss and that always made such a big impact on me because i'm like well why. as indigenous people we have suffered so much loss and asked so why aren't we indigenous why aren't we superheroes yet like asking for a man who has lost this planet wonder woman lost her home because she had to leave quite a man lost his family and it's like why i think this is so it's so easily transferred to us i don't understand why we aren't heroes yet in that universe. so i don't know what you're saying there sonja about what you see a superhero having in their background but unfortunately our audience says too often they look like this this is a lean on twitter saying often they're limiting depictions of natives to old mystical indian or noble savage stereotypes and that's incredibly harmful and leads

people to believe that we're stuck in the past and capable of adapting to modern times and alina goes on to say there are certain spiritual and ceremonial aspects that are also seen as a private thing and many native cultures so they can't be accurately depicted in comics which leads to bad and or append indian depictions of spirituality even when this is a part of the character's a background so jeffrey i wonder if you can pick up on that the hard characterization and i think lee touched on that a little bit earlier when he talks about it's a double edged sword we have some fantastic things fantastic symbolism fantastic spirituality in our culture when it's misrepresented the way it has been it becomes either a really bad cliche or a bad negative stereotype so when you have a native creator coming in there and he's in fusing his or her culture into his characters people might see that is oh that's just adding the stereotype with the reality is you know this is how it's properly done jeffrey.

you know i was. it's going to add to i think that partly it's it's about the lived experience when it's a non-native writer what they're looking at is the is the binge fringe bettors and and food right so they're going to add the tropes because it looks cool and i like cool characters i think they're really i mean you know there's there's really amazing things that can come out of that from the imagination but when i write and i write characters in the people that we try to engage each. oh yeah. i hear what you're saying. to me it's i'm just going to jump over to something for a moment because you're talking about creating characters so new this is exactly what you've been doing have a look here this is kerry barry lynn it's a children's book. on how does that fit into what we're talking about right now because you're creating characters that work for other people like you and youngsters growing up right now i think

a lot of my work is autobiography autobiographical in terms of. write and i write with. what i want to see when i was a little kid and so i write with that intention always and sometimes it. i'm really surprised by how non-stereotypical things could come out for me or sometimes so your typical things could come about and so like i'm creating a superhero right now called thunderbird who was in my first film and there's a whole section where they create her costume and the entity that is her coffee decides that it likes a mole so it makes her costume look like a. design and there's a whole scene where maggie who is the founder bird she says like what i'm creating i can't have a height across the human like her or her sentience symbol simply it cost me was like no no it's fine well we'll deal with this later and i'm like

a crack so it's like coming up with stuff that got me angry to you as a kid like well and i hated seeing fathers i hated being seen as lake shy and or apache when i am a creep person so it's like i really want to eliminate that pan indian idea sure jeffrey you are people who know some of your stories i know some of your out how do you approach knowing that you come with you come to the table with some real integrity and then what do you do with your art. he walked gingerly and boldly at the same time. i want people to see that the native voice is behind and but i also want to see the characters he said their characters just as much as they're mine they're part of our pop culture history and so that recognition is there soon as you see that and whether you're native or you're not this is just me showing a native voice to these characters and i've been honored and lucky enough to be

able to work on a very a lot of the ones that i had loved as a child it's just been fantastic.
