a literature been. here. long we're together we want to go speak for you today who's never done this in her life ever she's going to tell you stories of survival so we want you. to thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you i am really nervous. and i think because it's i need to talk to you about my own struggles with drugs and alcohol and it all started at your age i moved here from italy. i was ten years old i remember walking through the hallways and people would just walk by and hit my books you know and they would fall and i would just

cry cause i can protect myself i can speak in english and. sometimes i still get some emotional but. it's. that set the tone for probably the next fifteen years of my life. when i went to middle school i remember to skid he was cool and yes me to want to smoke a cigarette and i. smoke a cigarette we went behind a tree and smoked a cigarette and then he said you want to hit off of this and it was a joint and i got to tell you i took a hit off that joint and i thought i was a different human being i went from smoking pot at that that kid to do an essay of anything that made me forget about who i was were was that and what i looked like was what i wanted i wanted what you had i want to your mom and dad i wanted your blonde hair i wanted your blue eyes i want to get i wanted your legs if

i could have all of that i'd been here and now why i need to be somewhere else i think i was always trying to commit suicide but i didn't have the guts to actually do it i got to tell you were drugs took me crack cocaine instantly took every single thing that i hear i had no morals left by the time i was done i had i was about seventy five pounds almost eighty pounds when i got sober i met a man in my dreams you know we all have one of those and two years later i am pregnant with my daughter and everybody asked me to abort because i was a drug addict and i said no i was going to have this baby you know because i'm just fine this is great i'm going to have this baby i have this baby. this gets old with top of me. i remember when my daughter was six months old and we

had no food for her she had meat in two days. and she had cried for about forty eight hours and. i finally took the bus took two buses to my mother's house it was that week before easter and my mother answered the front door and i said i can't take your point more and i left her there and and there she looked. my daughter was six years old when i got sober she hated me she despised me and. you know today i can tell you that i have a great relationship with her but i have to work might have to gain that respect from her. i know i'm jumping back and forth but i just wanna say that i want to say watched one of your groups and i'm going to tell you how envious i was to watch you guys interact i never had that kind of a group where you guys support each other and you tell each other how everything's going to be ok because i think ultimately it's all but that's what we're all looking for isn't it for somebody to say you're ok you're going to be ok you're

going to make it no matter what happens maybe i can't do this alone but we together we can do it and i think that that's what this group does it says we as a group can do this. and i honored to be here and thank you so much thank. you and. you know i'm. sure oh my god i don't and didn't you feel good when you said you had to felt like a million bucks look at your home even beyond your reach i mean are you kidding me yeah. i could be going down the same route you didn't get me wince. the. new solution we. see most strongly going to day.

a week later at the high school that organized the of that amelia picks up letters of appreciation from the kids. and i think you're on and off for speaking at small ball to share every family member who struggles with addiction and your story really stuck with me. i'm from a huge italian family so right from the start i can relate to you additionally my family has a lot of history with drug addictions just i mean really our hopes more opportunities arise to speak. to youth groups and i think the very thing that brought her down now she can teach people how to come back up. i love it. and mean now it could potentially be a way of life for her. all of us think you want to get samantha small ball twenty

fourteen pretty amazing. i'd love to be a part of it. but i have to get through my riding season first and i'm going to be on that motorcycle. a lot. for my degree i needed a internship i guess he wanted three to like with a song me and so it hired me. are already doing my check could just warrants or jose's occasional work at the radio station supplements his full time clerical job i'm working for nine dollars an hour obviously the pay is better with a planet that was a full time job but i mean this is a lot of fun and if you have interaction with people it's how it goes by fast money . it's hard for me to believe that he's going to get a full time job in radio you know but i have to be supportive. as

a clerical worker it's just hard for him because he feels as though it's very redundant work which it's true. like i enjoy what i do so that's what he wants to feel italian but i got to think of my family. who are there to serve the other british baby no one else like me there is no baby number two here. elizabeth is eight weeks pregnant. it makes me feel happy or sad. but essentially we just gain more responsibilities and now i can't afford not to make seventy miles an hour. maybe going to stonewall masi. a little on the. hiltons hope of being able to make it on just one job shortly. in addition to car expenses hilton and diane i just received the medical bills from the pregnancy and

hello the weather slushy fine and dry across a good part of australia now not too much cloud to speak of little bits and pieces of perhaps rolling through the bite down towards that southeastern corner maybe into south australia as well adelaide around twenty eight celsius force as the often the similar temperature maybe a couple degrees higher than that the townsville want to show was around the top end but the rest of the country set some very pleasant summer sunshine coming

through a little more cloud makes its way across western australia brightening up in perth around thirteen degrees for sunday is a thirty four adelaide as well five and dry right up the east coast of australia getting up to twenty nine for sydney and also for brace but a lot of dry weather too in new zealand for a time a little more clout does make its way into the south island but not faring too badly over the next couple of days temperatures are struggling a little last week we're getting up to around twenty six now is struggling to reach sixteen in christchurch well can get up to twenty three over the next couple of days notice a little model a little warmer for christchurch further north we have a tropical system to make just keep an eye on there around of ottawa to pushing towards new caledonia over the next few days meanwhile some snow flurries there for more than parts of japan somewhat drier a little further south tokyo ten degrees. on

line. for them. to join us on sat all of us have been calling in some form or some fashion they say is a dialogue we are talking about a legal friend you have seen what it can do to somebody people are using multiple drugs including the phone and some people are seeking it out everyone has a voice box here twitter and you could be on the street and join the global conversation. for nine hundred forty six to nine hundred fifty eight the united states detonated dozens of atomic bombs in the marshall islands when the u.s. was carrying ready to clean up and leave at least nine hundred seventy s. picked the pit that had been left by one of the smaller atomic explosions and dumped a lot of this who tony 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 this dome 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 dime roll out with it. really we're not just the marshall islands we're talking the whole solution. zero. zero zero zero i maryam namazie this is the news hour live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes. they say rules don't work walls work on two percent.

donald trump declares a national emergency in a bid to fund his war on the u.s. border with mexico. to be up trickle presentation their attempt to run for twenty third will not happen. but as worried as president nicolas maduro tells al-jazeera he won't let us aid into his country. india mourns the victims of a deadly bomb blast in kashmir and blames pakistan warning of a strong response. and walking into the unknown we look at the british fashion world faces about brecht's it. all former n.f.l. quarterback calling a couple nick has reached an out of court settlement with the league cup or nick had a claim to it team lotus that were colluding against him because of his political views.

very well welcome to the program our top story the u.s. president has signed a congressional bill to fund the government averting a shutdown but he's declared a national emergency to access the billions of dollars it does not provide for his controversial wall on the southern border made the emergency declaration earlier at the white house a move which will allow him to bypass congress to secure money for the wall senior democrats and republicans accuse the president of a gross abuse of power some say they will use every tool they have to challenge his decision in court we were going to be signing today. and registry national emergency and it's a great thing to do because we have an invasion of drugs invasion of gangs invasion of people and it's not acceptable. well john hendren joins us live now from

washington and it was a wholly unexpected move john and democrats have announced that they will challenge the move in a range of ways one of the immediate priorities. well immediately we are likely to see a court challenge from democrats and from outside groups one outside group has already announced that it will challenge the decision as will the attorney general for the state of california and the reason for that is while there have been many emergency declarations about six dozens into the one nine hundred seventy s. thirty one of which are still active those were generally not controversial and this is the only incident that i know of in which a president has declared an emergency to get something he was explicitly denied by congress and the us constitution gives congress the right over the purse so there is a conflict here between the congressional role of deciding where the money and the government goes in appropriating that and the president's role given in

a law that allows him to declare emergencies so we're likely to see lawsuits we're likely to see some legislation at least in the house of representatives where the democrats have control what ever happens this is likely to take a while before the president can spend a lot of that money it's not really clear whether he can spend some of it immediately he was after all given one point three seven five million in the congressional spending bill that would allow him to spend some money on fencing about fifty five miles of that but of course he wants two thousand miles of fencing now another key development. coming out of washington is that the judges issued a gag order in the criminal case of a long time friend and so forth raja stunned this in the special counsel. has probably tell us more about that. that's right roger stone is a long time associate of president trump he has been accused of witness

intimidation obstruction of justice and lying to congress and what he's been doing is doing a number of media interviews in particular outside the courthouse and that seems to be what the judge is objecting to stone's main complaint about a gag order which he was warned might be coming is that it doesn't allow him to raise money he has a go fund me page that he directs people to to send him money in order to defend himself it seems to be the central complaint but he has also been all over the media making repeated comments giving interviews trying to plead his case and also saying that he would not speak against the president in this case it's not clear whether he's hoping for a pardon that's what a lot of people are speculating about right now but this limits how much talking roger stone can do and he is a prolific talker all right thank you very much with the latest there from washington john hendren all want to discuss now the border will situation with the

former u.s. associate deputy attorney general bruce fine he joins us also there from washington we that's begin by looking than efforts to stop president trump from declaring an emergency tell us about the legal mechanism and process that exists under the national emergency act which could be used to try and tell me the president's declaration. yes the national emergencies act in powers the house and the senate according to expedited procedural rules to vote a joint resolution of disapproval which would cancel the emergency declaration such a resolution just requires simple majorities in the house and the senate i think it's clear there are enough democrats probably alone in the house to carry such a resolution the senate side's a little more iffy because the republicans have

a narrow majority but even the majority leader mitch mcconnell says that he advised the president against declaring a national emergency in part and i underscore in part because he worries that maybe a democratic president would declare climate change gun violence national emergencies and try to go beyond the laws that congress has and acted as well but the president could veto such a resolution it would then go back to the house and the senate for a possible override right i think that letter will be the rails if you never do this so mr fine let me ask you about that so in the event the president trump vetoes a joint resolution terminating national emergency which is of course something he can do as you know with any bill would that be enough republicans in the house all the senate to. override his veto. well i think the house there's a very substantial chance that would be true remember he's going to have to steal

money from sun budget accounts to transfer to the accounts needed to build the wall if you moved forward that's going to cause great displeasure in those members who thought that they had voted for money in their districts or their special projects that now no longer will be funded and that baby enough to get the two thirds threshold for overriding it's more problematic in the senate side but here is where i think it comes into play what is the national sentiment not withstanding what mr trump is it i don't believe they even close to a small portion of the american people think we're confronting a national emergency like pearl harbor things go on day to day on the border and otherwise as they have for years and years and years border cities are not claiming that they're overwrought by illegal immigrants or raped women i've been past the white house every day for ten years i've never seen anyone with a placard saying please mr president build the wall that will solve all of our

problem but mr so i know that i didn't hear the whole climate no no just just jump in there all the sleep this was a campaign promise for president trump and he one thing he is determined to do is to is to satisfy his conservative base let me ask you about the level of concern there is about the legal president that such a declaration will set. yes well i mentioned that earlier that mitch mcconnell i think advised the president against declaring a national emergency and mitch is the majority republican leader of the senate precisely because there is such slender evidence to support what the president did is that it would invite democrats to declare gun violence a national emergency and need to a national emergency climate change a national emergency and go beyond the laws that the congress has enacted and that is what could cause the senate to actually come up with a two thirds majority to override the national emergency declaration the senate

politics is not the same as presidential politics all right thank you very much it was good to get your insight on this says the deputy attorney general bruce fein joining us that from washington moving to our other top story this hour the u.s. piling on the pressure against venezuela's president nicolas maduro sanctioning five of his top security officials and reportedly sending more than two hundred tons of aid to the colombian death but iran has been refusing to let the supplies in of course the president told al-jazeera that the united states was trying to destabilize his country he accused european nations of supporting u.s. military intervention as well. if you will go. over your i think that some europeans made a mistake when they supported the american war in iraq can you ask any of the coalition countries was it necessary to intervene militarily in iraq and divide it and kill millions of its people i think they also made a mistake when they bombed in libya and killed more than one hundred thousand

civilians come these errors be corrected i think they've made mistakes in the destructive policy approach in syria and are making more mistakes with venezuela. this does not happen and will not happen any material that comes from outside the country must be subject to certain conditions such as inspection and taxes as in all countries where the by sea or land and then there will be no problems there for the trickle presentation they're attempting on feb twenty third will not happen. after conducting a dialogue with the opposition in the dominican republic we agreed to hold the yearly presidential election in the first four months of last year after which part of the opposition withdrew and did not sign the agreement and eventually was agreed on may twentieth these elections were conducted according to the law and the constitution and with international and local observed was ten million voters

participated in the elections and eighty six percent of the voters voted for me therefore the interim legislative elections were done and anything else is just whims an attempt to destabilize the country from the white house. joining us now at last america and its lucy in yemen who is live inside the venezuelan capital caracas first of all a second i ask you about these reports that u.s. military at craft are expected to transport more aides to the venezuelan border in colombia what more do you know about. hello mary and what apparently these reports were leaked by the u.s. military from a base in germany they have not been denied by the u.s. state department in fact it's expected that it will be confirmed shortly and it's not too surprising this the scope of this does tally with what we're hearing from the opposition that would be some two hundred tons of food and medicine in addition to what has already been.
