a month after an f.b.i. raid toward daisy's family apart baby sarah remains in a foster home and max remains in a prison cell. based on his prior record the prosecutors are going to seek a life sentence for the small drug dealer from three years ago. the judge doesn't have to agree to the possibility of life but he may. they're destroying gangs workups that's the purpose of this is basically the federal equivalent of three strikes. the particular judge were front of the concern

is that he would willingly and force it and at that point backs doesn't have a real bright future. desean lives start gathering letters of support for max from families he's helped over the years since he became an intervention weren't you just a stunner thank you. from the police department juvenile impact program this is for elementary school thanking him and this from the county of. max's lawyer submit snyman be three pages of support letters to the court and everyone waits to hear what the judge will decide. in the meantime daisy has to keep working through the family court system to get her baby sarah back.

daisy has met every condition the social workers have given her. but without success. so maximus speak to me he would be like oh no they said that you know you should have the baby backs on but heat is not a no was going on out here. and over a monitor phone line if there's so many so much you can save. at this point daisy think she might get sarah out of foster care if her younger sister claudia can get temporary custody. make any money. we had an appointment at eight at the seven fifty but cloudera will need to apply for custody from a new house away from the family property. so daisy and cloudier are going to

pool their resources to rent a house east of the city. since sarah was taken daisy is only allowed to see her twice a week her. mom really loves. me miss. you are my son. please don't take my third son there with goodnight. mom i love. oh ok you sent me a picture. ok ok thank you ok bye bye.

sorry they feel you. are serious they will. kill us they are. reading. this book three. and thinking and this happens i'm going to give her back. fast look how pretty it looks and looks like from them will leave her alone. my sister living in a nice neighborhood and home they have no more excuses they can't give me any more excuses.

it's been about six weeks now. daisy still can't understand why she's not been allowed to bring sarah home. and it's looking possible that max may never get out. we had filed everything about max in our social services are worthless in the community. the judge was not real receptive. that judge is not known for his compassion i wish the best not everybody but we're talking about a lot of time and i have. families don't survive as families. sara. daddy writes you this letter with tears in my face i'm sorry i'm

not with you. to see your first steps to say bye bye. daisy there are no words in the can express what i am feeling. knowing our daughter was taken from us. i never meant to put you and sarah in the situation that i did. i don't want you to feel incarcerated with me. no matter what happens to max daisy has to keep going forward to bring sarah home. so she her sister cloudy and cloudy as husband jerry get ready to leave the family

property. or the big house. or you want to stay here if at any point i feel that i'm not fighting for my family i i don't know what that would do to me so yeah every day is looking to today what came to. be here out. there that's all we're doing during those times or i feel like losing it i remember when mom. and then i realized that there is no way that i could ever imagine what she must of felt. what they must have felt to use their twenty year old daughter. this they would call their game.

the. lowood the man of his arcade a bus hawk on a sore throats. is the lovely suit i will see on the call if you saw. my sister had to endure the message by then. kept it a secret. her husband was a gang member. for a few years she decided to make

a life first. went back to school. had full time job. and he couldn't accept that. he said you're not you're not going to see another another birthing of our son. i was fifteen i was with her when this happened. you waited. for us to come home. and i said we opened our doors and just heard what i thought were firecrackers. and i looked over at my sister was covered in blood asking for air.

this is why i am who it is not who i am but is why i am that way. oh. she. says. evite bring injury to one and. there is a hand and hear. me read. this if you have both. hands. just like. curse.

i feel my living. is absolutely not the way that i want my daughter to get to know the world. i want her to believe in fairy tale insignia corn set up to leave ever after. we can talk of the problems. it's been almost two months since the raid. daisy knows the f.b.i. claimed max had drugs in the house on the night he was arrested. but now daisy's public defender and family court blindsides her with a new accusation. the day i think i'm getting sarah back

my public defender tells me that they're going to take me to trial. just like. the public defender tells daisy the social workers think she must have been hiding something because she took too long to answer the door for the f.b.i. . and i say why was this question not asked of me before i was a you don't know me you have no idea. what i've been through. i don't know how i'm going to do it but. i need another lawyer. me. closer like daisy sister claudia borrow several thousand dollars from her boss and daisy uses the money to hire a firm of attorneys who specialize in family law i went to go meet with my lawyer

and he was like they have in place here with family i'm like no why. are you still to court. and he was like i've been clean else like i don't use drugs so that he was even more and then he asked me is your husband in state or federal custody osip federal and they sit all. he said ok i see it's going. they're using your child as leverage they're trying to pressure your husband into cooperate. i felt as though someone with knowledge was. on my side now. they cannot be making stuff up. that. they have

nothing against me they can even say i have a walking ticket. daisy's new attorney talks to the judge who also questions why sarah was not placed with family. the judge says she sees no reason for duty to be separated from sarah any longer. but the county social workers still have the final say. here you know. because for all friday saturday sunday and monday i mean how do you guys try to inform over when i left or right we called everybody this years. after her fifth visit to family court daisy finally gets a meeting at the county social workers offices. for daisy to get sarah back

the social workers tell her max has to give up his parental rights. since daisy is still not allowed to visit max in person she has to tell him over the phone calling from. prison oh he said you do and you say whatever you have to do to get babe yonder stands. it's not something that can be stopped with any paper. it's been nine weeks since the raid max is still in detention waiting for his trial and facing a possible life sentence he has agreed to give up his parental rights and

the moment has come for the county to make a decision about sarah. it's like i don't know what the process is very very junior this year why do they have. exactly and so one of them called me back. hello. ok great so where do i oh ok thank you so much and all this means to me ok thank you.

so i'm picking her up at one. i guess she needed the extra time to get her stuff ready. all right. we can put this behind. coerced. and we're in a better place. we're in a better place for her. with for months to come.

that almost all would be with us as we took ten. italy squad. for all three to be nothing. more. you. know you. think.

this is a step. step. that been a journey of a thousand miles. i'm thinking be thankful for what you have. just after sarah comes home daisy is allowed to start visiting max in person for

the first time since the raid was very. telling and we're going to go see daddy. but that good news is short lived. out of the blue max gets hit with a new set of charges. this time it's in a federal racketeering case with thirty other people alleging that he is still active in a gang. is the indictment on it's face going to have a potential for a life in prison but this is the type of thing where once again they can add that career criminal enhancement of this toast. the federal government has used record tearing laws against organized crime for years. recently the f.b.i. has been using the same laws to sweep alleged gang members off the streets. or

somewhere like oh my god so rejoice that was my first thought then i realized what this presented to me as an opportunity to be in front of a different judge the new judge gives max a chance if he pleads guilty to two of the new charges he can escape a life sentence. so like ninety seven percent of people facing federal drug charges max enters into a plea bargain. he is thankful to have a release date he is just optimistic that things will work out for us and he'll be out some. for some reason i i believe him. right after sarah's first birthday max was sent to a federal prison a few hours outside l.a.

to start serving a fifteen year sentence. daisy texeira to visit him every saturday. as he finishes writing access to these deals so i can go back to be with my family and prove i am a good person. i don't want to kid to see that mistakes condemn a person forever. the result but unity for change if you want it. in your. you know i guess something something wrong have to want your life for something that comes. next. and they help me get it. i graduated and i'm i'm working thanks to them. other brother. max that they see had told me even if you've got

a sure way you're going to have something a rock in the way that you have. got to get up and keep on long. enough here today to talk about a communication oh boy here has been has ever been put down. what i do comes from the heart you. see in the midst of your storm you meet other people that just survived their own earthquake. you admire this person. so him and me helping them they help me. where there is life we can survive it all.

al-jazeera. from dusky sunsets of a sprawling savannah. to sunrise atop an asian metropolis. one of the driest parts of brazil we're talking about the north east here it does rain it has rained recently just not much fairly obvious and you can't quite see the great part of salvador that did have decent matter right now it's all moved further north the next development going to be just over the border probably northern argentina when it's there is fifteen degrees light to get fairly wet now on the other side of the constant on the pacific coast santiago a few days ago is up nearly thirty mark we're down to the more average twenty three and that's true with almost all of chile both the constant and the cabinet on the gulf of mexico this is the regularly wet time the year now and there are some big showers around in colombia in costa rica and panama i think the next as i will see them in honduras and nicaragua that sort of area increasingly will see daily

showers develop in mexico but the wind is fairly obviously throwing more straw in this general direction through western cuba through the gulf of mexico and this is where it's been especially wet recently from the coast of mississippi right up mississippi valley to join this line of. now that is to the active and slow moving weather system that contains the remains of gordon so expect big rains in the midwest and for the south. the weather sponsored by cateye place. as we embrace new technologies rarely do we stop to ask what is the price of this progress what happened was people started getting sick but there was a small group of people that began to think that maybe this was related to the chemicals closure and the job and investigation reveals how even the smallest devices have deadly environmental and health conscious we think ok we'll send our you waste to china but we have to remember that air pollution travels around the globe death by design on al-jazeera. i mean this is different not to say whether

someone is going for someone who's very rich that does matter we mean street i think it's how you approach an individual and that's what it is a certain way of doing it you can't just buy a story in fly out. this is al jazeera. hello i'm adrian forgetting this is the news live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes a consulate set ablaze protesters on the street iraq's parliament begins an emergency session as it struggles to contain. the death sentence confirmed for seventy five people a leading preacher among them over

a twenty thirteen sit in at the egyptian capital. the talks on ending yemen's wall the government delegation leaves geneva after a two day wait didn't make it. not think it's important but. also to be disappointed not to be but it's important to break that point very clear. i'm joined now in sweden a country anticipating its most important election in years a battle over values and identity with the rise of the far right. the sports rafael nadal's defense of his u.s. open title comes to an end as he is finally defeated by a bad name all the semifinal action from new york coming up later. iraq's parliament has begun an emergency session to work out how to contain

protests in the city of basra within the past another curfew has been imposed that began at four pm local time weeks of protests of a failing government services unemployment and corruption have spiraled into a violent few days several major buildings have been set ablaze on friday night that included the iranian consulate in the city earlier in the week a state t.v. building was also burned at least twelve people have died during the protests. standing by for us in teheran we'll speak to him in a few moments but first let's join rob matheson who's in iraq's capital baghdad so rob what we've learned so far from this emergency session of parliament. well adrian this emergency session of parliament is pretty much like any other session of parliament in iraq there's a lot of mudslinging there's a lot of blame there's a lot of accusations but there's actually very little that's being done to help the people of basra let me put that into context we're talking about

a parliament here that has essentially been deadlocked since may when the elections told this parliament to place in may they ended with a counting of the votes that nobody agreed with and from that moment on everybody all the various parties that are trying to form this parliament to move the country forward have been jostling for position they've been trying to get power from one another and get leverage and the end result of course with that is that nothing gets done there were a couple of things that prime minister that all about he didn't mention today he said that buster would be excluded from several financial obligations that it would have to the country as a whole the intention being of course that it would be able to keep the money to try to help itself out of the circumstances that it finds itself in but specifically also no life i mean nation to be used by iraqi forces against protesters and protesters reiterating that they have the right to peacefully protest without trespassing on state owned facilities but the key thing is here is when of course there was nothing substantial to offer the people of this meeting

yet all right so another curfew in place in bastrop what's the reaction that likely to be. well there's a lot of speculation that because of the way that this has been handled we could be facing another surge of violence tonight and in the coming days there is a space there are two specific reasons for that the first is that although the prime minister has authorized the security forces to head to basra in order to try to contain the violence there there is a real fear that if the security force does get involved that will exacerbate things even further i may also encourage it to spread across all the parts of iraq as well the other side of it is the social structure within iraq usually very often it's the case that tribal elders tribal leaders will suppress this kind of uprising and suppress this this contain this kind of violence way before it gets to this

stage but the protesters are angry with those many of those tribal leaders as they are with the government and with the security forces i know basically bypassing all levels of security so no there is a significant worry that if nothing tangible appears for the people within the next few days that this could spiral out of control probably thanks dave live to baghdad that speak to same bus ravi who's in.
