and we'd get a ambushed and they'd be shoot medicine and stuff i would use my rifle to big noise just. to scare off but i did what i heard him mostly sit say not him do effects of p.t.s.d. and depression and i don't know that you have your own about that's what i think it's common to all of. this my son jack. to seek to be. seen. never play came form from.

the name oh. i'm comes on and. he's right. and his. life. was oh mean the man vote. i took care of a man where a truck rolled over the mountain and crushed him. williams airworthy it was full of blood and i clawed it out with my hands and it just filled back. and then bubbles broke and there was nothing i could do he was
3:02 pm
dead go on through that. tore me to pieces. do. you. read. love. letters. or. are the ones to see you know. the very. end in order to function in combat and you know this a rational response would be to get the hell there but we cannot be rational so we
3:03 pm
have to set aside our rational human response and then having cut all those feelings all off you know yourself to it because if you know to just start screaming that one day and the middle of it and you won't stop i went out to a track in two thousand and nine and we got bombed every thursday they went la beouf and broccoli now rock rock around is more around whatever they had one night one of those rounds hit three four guys and. i think one of them survived i really remember because kind of hurt my memory with the meth and everything turned forget about it but. we lost three three guys three m.p.'s. he talked about numbness and i got back i had no fear period and i was afraid
3:04 pm
of anything i want to do that in the middle of the night and i care. trying to get some weed to do you know to calm me down and held it none of this. would use using it with a bit of. not having a hole that dime a big boy. i could have made it well if i use the unemployment because i got employment for two years i would use it right instead of using it to suicide my my fears my you might my feelings very much. i could have went somewhere but i didn't i just od explain it that i've been here almost ninety days now the twenty third of this month the nineteenth what i'll be asking for an extension because i can't trust myself to go out there i go for the holidays i need to go through that go through the holiday here in the r.c.
3:05 pm
and. i just thank god for each one of my bets with regards to whether you're an army navy coast guard they're not marines that ask you up all right here. when i actually came here and mean yeah that person a scary situation and the diversity here is you know we have straight and we have gay and we have transgender and i'm actually gay veteran and also came out with. my hiv based out of a mentality positive and. you know the day acceptance from the group was very much overwhelming and they opened up arms and you know they offered words of encouragement that
3:06 pm
was actually remarkable. we become so rich that we could get any. career peer or love. in their day that is. that is true. you know every veteran out there is one of my brothers and sisters. i want to be there for him you know it's all my my my vet's all the time i said look you know i'm i'm not a social worker by nature. a fool. whoa . it sounds harsh but by and large i don't really care about the average person out there. but i do this because i love it.
3:07 pm
where. the program is designed it's a thirty bed transitional program for homeless vets and so yes they all had to been
3:08 pm
homeless and all that friends like you are going to their goal self sufficient income so we help them apply for benefits we help them go back to school or get employment. morning for you for the intervention is different to their needs are different and so we're able to treat them to the root issues whether it's addiction whether it's mental health. or you either. i think it's going to read. it. may be ready to meet my roommate's math it's a little that you say maybe hung over. to them early. he's just five three and were and five miles and raised it i'll get sleepy and. see my readjustment derby's and read. the way of life for it learn and marines.
3:09 pm
just as it makes the society. so we're learning how to just. like and maybe i'm relationship with my. children and that's why. that's simpler it doesn't turn destructive. like that morning yeah every morning. sorry are you without your guy right now when he first came in here and he was with you i thought he needed medication bag because you get out he would if he was having a real bad time and counselor it was in session with somebody so i can get the cows are out of the office i thought roger was going to get his truck and lead with. that oh yeah yeah well you had to get in it would have been two weeks of two and two weeks and he was calm down it was amazing it was. not going to swab the
3:10 pm
floor the navy guys should be getting. their call swamis. the one thing i'd like to highlight not particularly with the new veterans coming into these programs is that it is a program so you don't run shelters you know this isn't a mission. it's a man's supportive housing program. everybody takes turns doing chores and somebody has been living on the street for fifteen years clean the kitchen might be totally alien experience for them but it's something that they all have to do make it their own or to teach that.
3:11 pm
i don't know i don't know how to say it but there's just i love this place you know i wish everybody could experience this. this is my car yeah and my wife lived in this car. it's not a good place to live but i guess it beats the street you know let me show you where i was living. it was basically. sit like this and put the seat. where is it right here all the way back and this is this is the position we slept in you know i'd have sleeping bag pulled up over me and my pillow behind my head bit as you could see i'm not burgle or horizontal yeah.
3:12 pm
so i wasn't i mean you try to turn over and you just get more uncomfortable and that's where they all called him and you know you drink it off our car you just passed them out a way to and you wake up in the morning sore you know new start today all over again doing the same thing trinket so you wouldn't have to feel anything when you when you try to crawl back in this thing and sleep in it the end i think happened in the mcdonald's parking lot and i stopped getting i try to use more drugs and they just wouldn't work and it's like likes something outside of myself said. now it's a veterans' resource center and things have just been going good sense and you know i completed i did everything i needed to do. to do the right thing you know to get help. and now this car is just a reminder of what i'm done with. today like it's so good. i'm
3:13 pm
going to hang on to what i get. a leg and go. sit in a field. it will. let me go to school is. he going. to be a beach or whatever. but we still. need to fish fish and i'll. just. have you see circumstances where you can say i've seen circumstances in which the client didn't want to be saved somebody will decide. her a winner or alcohol was much more important at that moment and then we just hope
3:14 pm
that we left enough of an impression that at some point they'll be ready for hope in the comeback again. who never turn her back on a veteran and we're not going to do it today hopefully some day they'll all come back. i'm just hanging i am. a veteran of two branches i did six years active duty in the name is the center technician from there i went into the naval reserves ones that i completed i went into the army national guard which i'm still hurt currently serving and. at a total of fourteen years now for the guard they were as a player just sticks i have periods of i where i have a substance abuse problem that i have a battle that and get over here which was hard and now and again and the last time was a lot harder but at least i was able to. bounce back from it all.
3:15 pm
and since then have been trying to find income to help kind of move forward and. remember we have to cross over into it a creek area so to kind of give you a heads up. you're holding is an compassed with doing nothing but surviving that foothold to go around to look for housing or to look for jobs it becomes much harder because you're more focused on where am i going to get my next meal. or how am i going to get to these free services or how my going to these food beings. and then to think about where is our next hour. can i do anything you look homeless and your clothes are all their names up like that you can't better even if you want to change. a lot of the words themselves and agent.
3:16 pm
a. little platform where i stand. with my boyfriend my couple of their neighbors so to say. is that our tanks can prove there's a profit but getting there is also a verb and emotions are. good ventilation and then there's them our friend vicki is well there frank kenyon they stay on here with us but that's generally where i say right off of a freeway in the woods so welcome to the woods. the
3:17 pm
latest news as it breaks these people are already some of the country's most vulnerable and now they say they need help with detailed coverage here in gaza more than most places the contrast between scenes like this and the realities of daily life for so many from around the world forty years ago it was all but impossible for a foreign man or woman to live in china let alone marry a chinese but today marriages like this are no longer exceptional. this powerful social network is sculpting a global cyber society and regulation is playing catch up but as scandals begin to
3:18 pm
unfold they will witness is that we should not be in this position. they want as much extreme content as they can get on the cover to gauge how ethics weigh against profits and how the rules are being written. inside facebook on al-jazeera. dallas in doha with the top stories here at al-jazeera the authorities in turkey are treating the disappearance of the saudi janis jamal khashoggi at his country's consulate in istanbul as a murder case he was last seen entering the saudi consulate on tuesday reuters news agency is reporting a source at the consulate has denied reports because he was killed in the compound
3:19 pm
. has more from istanbul. turkish security officials are now dealing with the case of the malhotra a murder investigation late on saturday they had said that they had information that fifteen saudi nationals among them officials had flown in on tuesday on three separate flights had gone to the consulate the same time that's cultural she was a very are and then the had left sole now there has been no disclosure of the whereabouts of his body brett kavanaugh president trump supreme court choices being sworn in after a contentious senate vote in followed thirty hours of intense debate for and against the candid it he was subjected to an f.b.i. investigation into sexual assault allegations made against him by three women president champus at a rally in kansas about his nomination it was just a few hours ago the u.s.

senate confirmed. the brand. it was admittedly it would you get and i proudly sanction the judge's commission aboard air force one just before landing it. it was a five point nine magnitude earthquake has killed at least ten people in haiti the authorities in the north west of the country say seven people have died in that part of the country which is very close to the epicenter and three others have died further south in the further south of the country. areas flattened by last week's earthquake and tsunami in indonesia sulawesi island may soon be declared mass graves all than sixteen hundred people have been confirmed dead and there are
3:21 pm
growing concerns about an outbreak of disease brought those are the latest headlines let's go back now to shelter. from nine hundred forty six to nine hundred fifty eight the united states detonated dozens of atomic bombs in the marshall islands when the us was getting ready to clean up and leave in the one nine hundred seventy s. they picked the pit that had been left by one of the smaller atomic explosions and dumped a lot of this to tony m and other radioactive waste into the pit the bottom of the dome it's permeable soil there was nowhere for her to wind it and therefore the sea water is inside the dome when the storm was built there was no factoring in sea level rises caused by climate change now every day when the tide rolls out radioactive isotopes from underneath the die roll out with it. if it
3:22 pm
really were not tolerant just the marshall islands we're talking the whole suite should. be a little platform where i stand. by my friend that couple of their neighbors so to say. is that i take them for opposite profit. and when they i know about that being homeless man situation i remember two days ago now but when the robbery happened. sheriff's office and they're coming down here looking for the salience of say ok now here we'll have that asses come out basically told us they have a week to move south adds quite common here in the homeless community. women veterans are definitely the most underserved population. we could put
3:23 pm
a man that's homeless right now no problem but we have a young female. the has no place to go and house to hide has to hide harbor. or. this actually a new town off of our and my last paycheck but the first one we're in was over the next corner and a half after the first rank because they'd had holes and what not we were so all of our betting everything wes and decide and i was lying down in my socks my clothes his wrinkly minutes of him yeah. these are my girls. they were both rescues.
3:24 pm
clearly like my heart tends to be bigger than i can handle. blade logistically you know. i have had her students which is five weeks old and the v.a. certified her as a therapy dog for me she actually just being my baby. turned into like a p.t.s. response to all so when i'm feeling like really edgy. defensive sure really post up close to me and make sure that nobody like. or really just give me a shit i think she knows that nobody's gonna hurt me she just knows that like there's times i can't handle it was proximity to other people. i was a navy diver. so my i did primarily as
3:25 pm
submarine rescue and i worked on actually had a really cool job in the navy. but undiagnosed mental illness was a major part of why ended up homeless. just rolls back in here. a minute ok. you can totally i mean you can get in there. i've got my eye the psychiatric drugs you know at the ready and never missed a dose of my medication since i've been given it and i just really like. ok i mean i can i can write lists now and like realistically see a list through in a day. call people back. whether i'm going to make an appointment or not. it's sucks it's terrible. it's no you know nobody should have to live like this
3:26 pm
but at the same time i have i do have a roof over my head and four walls and organic heaters you know what i mean i will never go cold. and on never not get my hugs for a day i'm clear about the fact my hands out and my hat's off and i need some help. you know and when i'm in a position to like reach out and help somebody else but your ass i'm going to be there as soon as that opportunity shows up when my son will have. made. me.
3:27 pm
and. part of the pathology of trauma in a veteran is them wanting to i sleep from society from each other they just want to be left alone. and that's our biggest challenge i think we fight desperately to get them out of their comfort zones and get them back together and get them to sit in a table to make friends you know to do things that people in normal society do you . contact is curative. being with other people. was what heals us. to dinner and. their drug. trade that. all right so one of yours is ready to move on weak
3:28 pm
knowledge that accomplishment it would be giving up of this coin rheims very special point on one side says that's a recovery because that's what you guys all are and the other side says i came with hope it worked and i learned i have a new life a life that i earned this corn is going to be for in his smell her. tennis and all for a while. i love him it you felt me with my spiritual growth so it you know that you're my hero. you are. that. good luck. dance ah. oh very simplified place of that

3:31 pm
major. mr. gibson. had a. moment yesterday when i left the story completely had no idea where he was didn't know where my car was had a full blown panic attack and just going through those where in one minute i'm in reality the next minute i'm not quite painful. in this process is you know brought up all this stuff i've stuff for twenty years yeah. i don't buy it that's my good friend jenny hi how do you do. dave dave this is jack jim or jack nice to meet you. i went into
3:32 pm
the coast guard to go help others when i was seventeen and a month before i went to maps they weighed me and told me i was five pounds overweight i was one hundred seventy lb body builder with six percent body fat so i quit eating in basic training so through my time in. my anorexia took over my life at that point i was one hundred twelve pounds. so i finally was able to get into rehab in rehab my first week i was then cornered several times by a counselor and the last time he raped me so my history in the military was difficult one for something i wanted to do something i so wanted to do i had to get out to save my life women with m.s.t. military sexual trauma if any female says i've been raped or i've been sexually
3:33 pm
assaulted or i have been brutally badgered they have nothing happens it's sort of falls on deaf ears and you get kicked out and you get nothing and it happens time and time again. i also myself was raped three times different times in the military and it definitely is it's horrible and it happens to women quite often very much often that was twenty years ago when i finally broke this last may. i had been stockpiling pills and i'd already been drinking a lot and taken a lot is innings through the day. so it took about eighty norco's percocet xanax prepared all and then some into a knowledge of medication and drink of whisky. and i was ready and i said i'm going to bed. i thought i would be done i looked it up on the internet
3:34 pm
that combination should kill anybody. my next thought was my friend jenny. shaking me awake screaming at me. saying if you're dead i'm going to kill you which today. it's not so much i was so mad to be alive and the only thought i could think of was i can't believe i'm here i can't believe i'm still here. i convinced her i was just sick she went to go get another friend to help watch me overnight while they were gone i took a half a bottle of tylenol pm. the next day. when i woke up again i was like you've got to be kidding me but by that. that it now you know i'm really glad suicide
3:35 pm
i'm. well you know you're inspiring i'll say that my goodness to two of you to have come out of the other side of what you have been through and what you have attempted is amazing thank you and you are made of are going to think you are not. and. i would like to just share some things with you i would like to do you. have short term memory no two i have i have already. carriers. wrote this song and nine hundred eighty two and i was a patient and
3:36 pm
a little pain and a national or caroline. nurse i was least in charge who's in charge of me i don't want to use the charge i. was just a wonderful person. to. this and sylvia has some strong gratitude. rudy. so the first time i came back down here after the hospital just being able to see the trees again and the ocean and feel grateful for being here and having survived . was just kind of. breath taking.
3:37 pm
in the hospital i had a social worker tell me that we're all spiritual beings having a human existence we have tough times we have good times that's the whole balance of why we're here and that has really helped me because i'm doing good today but you never know i get triggered things happen but if i can breathe through walk down here or remember this spot in my mind i know it'll cause. they say that. a veteran to suicide every sixty one minutes here in the united states and unfortunately i think the numbers so wall to drinking the drug and the overdosing the risky behavior. i'm sure that sure that number number is at least double that in terms of. all these other causes.
3:38 pm
reverted it least in the last month twenty four suicides seem to training that and the mandate my case managers get and then. and we've probably lost three in the last two months and who knows how many more that we've engaged with that we just haven't heard of at this juncture you know it's. it's horrible. you know we have. we have a lot of successes to clients that come into the program they work really hard. and they leave us. i don't see normal but they leave us you know better productive members of the community they are happy they're healthy
3:39 pm
yeah the first week go out to get by truck a brick you leave every do. you start it up. you know fill resist so you know the big. it works with the group the group therapy really were. it was it. works well because role that you're unsure of your. group. and the staff here first or there's a this twenty four hour duty stuff and the guy at night has helped me gratefully i had a couple of crazy flashbacks and i got to come down talk to the guy we talked for a few minutes walk around outside and i didn't have to go but to my old bobby age i've got to work out in a safe environment to go back to sleep and say no you know the sheriffs arresting me. to spain get.
3:40 pm
more and bigger the more good things to come or. so for marines give more. color on your. face you know wow i didn't feel like. going to that if i had to you would be cut you off but we would have. that like oh my god it's ok i will. i think. i have there's somebody that has become a lot closer to me if i see her every day and i talk to her every day you. know i've actually got might even be in my unemployment is out so i've been getting out which helps a lot. gives more sense of freedom to be able to do a lot more stuff and catch up and repay people back as well. and that money that
3:41 pm
she did receive she was able to take care of her debt with her storage facility she actually gets to go enjoy some space there's always room for dinner and if that's true how for you i think. i'm well you know david and i we have our house or so we've been looking around like that for housing yeah i don't actually go to leave everybody gotta leave there's a hotel right next to second to come and i was right i just heard about that two weeks ago yeah we looked and looked and looked and we've disconsolate come up against a door. or thank all of you going to get groceries you better get a number of really great when you're not like one hundred are you know. friends like that that. you're.
3:42 pm
going to. and. then we're. going to. thank you very much only has really paid. somebody a lot yeah i think that thirty two zero and thirty two going in and. creating a mentor for. me to take some time during camp. takes them according to what end. said to me that means. you're going to meet me right we're going without some friends you
3:43 pm
don't have your kids. and they may have only met one of them what i. think are good you can think yes thank you for your service thank you for. your. story. the bloody. drunk shot. i think the biggest shock factor for me is that how many of our young vets not only old vets but our young vets are coming back you know a year removed from military and they're already homeless and have an issue with addiction. i'm going to.
3:44 pm
read deep into the game. look at the trauma for the trauma in every corner of every room of every building that we run i mean it is torture every night is sleep loose and so necessary for half the conflicts be sent is to. suss. out. the streams of. looming known oh. the. you know these guys are heroes and they deserve. the best of what we've got we made a promise to these people he was flipping to fit for once you know we make
3:45 pm
a lot of promises americans that we don't keep well this is one promise the democrats need to suit the need to cure these people better. oh lord see. you could snap your fingers at tat yeah. you know my first reaction is as it's happened every day when you see saving the life you help somebody that's a little tiny bit of a miracle that the cool part of that but if i could step out my failures let's not have another goddamn war.
3:46 pm
hello the last day and a half assertions in tremendously big thunderstorms develop and move through the southern caspian catching well iran just north of toronto this is where the mountains go down to the sea so a significant risk of flash floods here ninety seven millimeters that's the rainfall collects in twenty four hours that seemed reasonable nearly three hundred that seems rather unreasonable if it's true that really is dangerous stuff that a whole lot has been moving eastwards and having lost a lot of war to the caspian sea there's little to develop now until something else happens like he comes up against high ground that's going to be the case come monday where in northern afghanistan tajikistan and beyond rain or snow more likely will become a bit more obvious to the west part of the occasional shot western side of iran and maybe on the rocky plain we just see a legacy of cloud of not much more that seems to slowly coming down but not that
3:47 pm
quickly the wind isn't really present from any direction so humidity is not learned it's not hard it's more that's where it should be in dire hot for example of thirty seven degrees into an upper darby but look at this cloud creeping crusts arabian sea it's an incoming probably developing star so we've got to watch this because we're turning it to tuesday but could develop into quite heavy rain for the i'm on the coast. responding to e.u. criticism hunger in foreign minister defends his government's tough policy on refugees you have three thousand five hundred fifty five refugees living in you're not taking your fair share how can you be a refugee after you while borders between five safe countries peter seattle talks to al-jazeera from cutting edge medical technology. could be a. resource for the development of lifesaving drugs to advances in the most
3:48 pm
difficult regions of the world really easy to lose interest and you know the worst hit in the you. upside. down innovative solutions to global health care problems if you hope to make a difference maybe all of those words get it sure was sold to cure on al-jazeera. the case of the saudi journalist who went missing in turkey turns into a possible murder investigation. hello i'm not saying denis welcome to al-jazeera life and also coming out cementing
3:49 pm
a conservative majority in the u.s. supreme court brett kavanaugh was sworn in after a close vote by a basically divided senate. he's one of africa's longest serving leaders and at eighty five he's the oldest venters in cameroon decided all fear gets a seventh. opening with a bang the youth olympics get underway in the streets of. thank you. the first turkish authorities are now treating the disappearance of the saudi arabian journalist. at his country's consulate in istanbul as a murder case prosecutors of widening their investigation into his disappearance after a group of saudi officials apparently flew into istanbul and visited the consulate last tuesday now that was the very day that the shuggie went missing the saudi
3:50 pm
press agency has released a statement from an unnamed official at the consulate denying reports that g. was killed there calling the ag allegations baseless so let's have a look back now at the circumstances surrounding the journalist disappearance jamal . was last seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul at around one pm on tuesday he wanted to sign off on some paperwork in order to marry his turkish fiance who waited outside the building there she told al-jazeera that an official said to her at the end of the day that he was in the building anymore and then on friday turkey's foreign ministry summoned saudi arabia's ambassador to ankara over the matter and later on that same day crown prince mohammed bin sound man said saudi authorities would allow turkey to search the consulate saudi arabia invited a group of journalists into the istanbul mission on saturday in an effort to show
3:51 pm
that she was not on the premises jamal shai al is our correspondent he's following this story for us he's joining us live now from istanbul so how confident then are the turkish authorities jamal that she has indeed been murdered on the premises of the saudi consulate in istanbul. well pretty much certainly a cording to the sources i have spoken to martin the police officials here as well as other security apparatuses are indeed looking at this as a murder investigation they look to the fact that. these fifteen saudi nationals among them officials and two of them fled essentially the country that's quickly the fact that some of been some on the crown prince of saudi arabia in that interview that you mentioned was published on friday but was actually given on wednesday where he said there was nothing to hide inside the consulate in terms of
3:52 pm
holding go the kidnapping or the detention of german officials here and therefore he had obviously disappeared as far as they're concerned they have evidence of him entering there is zero evidence that of him exiting and therefore people don't just disappear into thin air as one official told me obviously how he was killed and what further clear cut evidence in terms of a body and other things that we're waiting to hear from the turks we still haven't seen that's they did say on saturday that within forty eight hours they will release all the evidence and video footage of this entire operation that they have in order to prove unequivocally what they have reached a conclusion in light like i say an absence of that body obviously we're we will wait and see but the understanding not just here in turkey but also internationally is that it's unfortunately this journalist has been killed by the saudis and how big an impact is this because i mean this is not an ordinary happening is it in
3:53 pm
terms of relations between the two countries which are ready strained i think we can we can say given that they were on opposite sides of the gulf crisis and saudi arabia will not be a tool happy with the fact that ankara is quite close with terror and what sort of impact is this likely to have on those strange relations. well you know as you mentioned i mean strain strains in international relations and bilateral relations that occur as a result of you know different points of views in terms of developments around the region are things that countries can deal with whilst maintaining diplomatic representation in each country it is when there is an affront on your sovereignty or when there is some sort of attack that makes it difficult for that. diplomatic representation to continue and that's what many people observers are anticipating that because if it does turn out on
3:54 pm
a quickly to be the case that saudi arabia conducted the murder inside turkey then therefore the turks will have to revise and review their diplomatic representation inside eurabia inside these diplomatic representation here it does seem and what i do understand speaking to some officials over the past few days martin is other targets did really exhaust all diplomatic avenues with the saudis to try and find a way out of this that's why we haven't heard from senior turkish government officials on camera that's why the talks had remained tight lipped for the first few days without releasing the information that they had or confirming the whereabouts or indeed the well being of german officials here because they were as far as one source told me trying to find a diplomatic way out of this what would be some sort of a fallout but it seems that there was a lack of reciprocity in terms of goodwill being great presented or expressed by
3:55 pm
