city detention center is one of the largest pretrial detention facilities in the united states hours and. i would think it's there it's intended for adults but on the harsh get tougher laws passed in maryland and some other states juveniles charged as adults also help ten fifteen to a room they held indoors for about twenty three hours a day. and to be thomas and was just sixteen years old when he was arrested for the robbery and charged as an adult. he was ultimately cleared of all charges but while waiting five months for trial he wasn't attending school he was in baltimore city detention center. he wanted to go crazy i have people i know that you know once they got in there they wanted it more stuff than they would don't want to. ban adults and that adults are gone and. they kind of thing is what you're supposed to buy it kind of get it that. the u.s.

department of justice agrees that spending nearly home for years in a crumbling adult facility can violate anthony's constitutional rights. but the state's proposed solution is a brand new one hundred million dollars jail for minors challenged as adults which the city plans to build on this science. and the stress is just as out there in that i go there every day i'm just thinking about well how last time that you can get people an hour in about that life band on the way like their entire lives and if you grow up in jazz where it's going to keep back so i don't think it was right for a kid to be in that situation. as we're preparing to leave baltimore we hear of yet another shooting. or.

no body this time. but the blood on the pavement is proof of the continuing cycle of violence. baltimore is a city that's still on the front line of the war on drugs when you walk through neighborhoods like this it's hard not to feel the war these communities have been living through. the rhetoric anything short of radical change one solve the problem . could take decades for these communities to recover. baltimore anatomy of an american city from two thousand and twelve since that film was made the level of violent crime in baltimore has continued to rise and two thousand and fifteen police and national guard were deployed on the streets after a young black man died in police custody his death sparked violent protests and two thousand and seventeen alone three hundred forty three people were murdered making

baltimore the most dangerous city in america so rewind returned recently to a snowy baltimore to find out how the people on the frontline are addressing the city's drug and crime problem. forty eight. i'm an artist. and an educator. baltimore at one time was to her with. the country i was born on the tail end of that and lived as a teenager. at the dinner with this very day it was built. right so. this was given to me by new shoes all followers it's basically the details of

that. because this i will survive i can assure you that i was that my spine read on three different cases you should see the top one here see the one in the middle and there's one down the bottom you know this is a lot of this city this is world record in the book it will be cure world is with my for but now i do good. getting into space to say what it is. that this time i was already turned out to courage to guns now i had a three fifty seven and twenty three rolls so this is me just turn it forward seeing every drug dealer this is my life my work. probably shot about skimpy. close friends who did not graduate from high school who are no longer with us were lost to the streets two weeks so my father went to prison he did fifteen years straight i met him when i went to prison at fifteen with fifteen years to say the

least from four to eleven experience watching my mother shoot her and shoot. you know all the media the family aunts all. and. so a lot of people a lot of people get shot so a lot of chrism so a lot of bad a lot of life loss can remember that were good of anything but us. i think the war. in north is the most meaningful chose billie holiday because billie holiday dealt with addiction she had her demons and she was still in my successful in dealing while i was painting i'll be i'll be fully transparent. never seen an opening a drug market like the drug. court and it's a major third of. the eight years obama was in the white house how did things

change and was bold. they did so however long trumps going to be there how are things going to change in west baltimore now again i'm talking about specific communities i'm not talking about every people get sick in tad of being sick and tired what happened in twenty fifteen was an uprising with a small portion of new. right after already great i called the seventeen troops and i'm nobody but for seven days there was no black or black shoot you real power is where you tell people not to shoot not we get people shot but you got to have power itself different games where the not going to shoot at me listening because no one knows any of these activist groups or any of these companies can look me in my eyes and tell me to kill it like me and me did it like me and they sold like me and a good eighteen years in prison like my father. you have

a large contingency in a community that is disenchanted with politics they don't even pay attention to because they have day to day laughs i'm not in pain. i believe obama did what he could i didn't have any evidence to his expectations of the first so-called black president but those folks what really catch you now catch all regardless of the press for this city to get better it starts was starting to get i have that only key because they all know why you're more i don't rat they know i have their best interests they know from the streets they know i did exactly what they did i don't see peace i don't see stop the violence i don't see none of it i see if you really weren't it you decide where we is not to shoot it. you decide what areas have suffered enough you decide where every a little girl got shot in that neighborhood traumatized so now i'm a put up no shoot so even deal with who are you going to get dealt with and they listen i'm a paper that's got

a what i do so i have to deal with the reality of life i can literally see the future of baltimore through the eyes of my students and it does not look good. that's it from this week's rewind they want to catch up with the rest of the films in the series you can find them on the rewind page on the al-jazeera website but for now until next time good bye thanks for watching. a nation where corruption is endemic embroiled in a battle to hold the power to account. how has this radical transformation occur. i mean nobody i mean if you want to shedding light on the romanians pressing for change and the unconventional methods to eliminate corruption remain the people on al-jazeera.

sport government demands action off the indian cricketers where army caps during a game is a show of support for them. welcome to the program rival demonstrations have been held on the streets of venezuela's capital between supporters of president nicolas maduro and the opposition leader. but general called for the rally in us to march asked against what he called imperialism from the united states he says was a puppet being used by washington. from power. we have defeated who they tried illegitimately. president today it is obvious to the world he's not a president not anything he. delinquent sitting. position protesters have clashed with police in caracas security forces trying to stop

supporters of one from setting up a stage comes as most of them is when it remains without electricity for a third day as one of the worst blackouts in decades continues accuse the us of economic summit says the outage is another example of government corruption and is calling for more protests to pressure the president to step down. before. to wear us out brothers and sisters and yes the road has been very long the road is out but we will never tire in the search for freedom and we will stay in the streets whenever two days after a blackout hit much of the country the electricity remains off in most of us. joins us live from the colombian city of that's on the venezuelan border. president maduro has been talking in the last hour.

well daryn i wasn't able to hear your question but i think you asked me about correct yes that is correct he's been talking in the last hour or so what's he been saying. well my daughter remains is the fire and she spoke to its people in the center of caracas and people are still supports his government he once again blamed the united states and the venezuelan opposition for the now more than forty eight hours of blackouts across the country he also described it as the worst power outage that. are seen but he considers it an international aggression the worst that minister and republicans had to deal with he called on these people to be patient to resist he said that his government is doing everything possible to get lights the lights back home on the capital

caracas and across the country sooner rather than later he said in a permanent way he also insisted that he was able to bring the electricity back to almost seventy percent of the country but then another attack happened at least the way he the scribe is and he's saying that behind this is the u.s. in the form of cyber attacks that are blocking the transmission and also electro magnetic attacks finally he's blaming what he calls infiltrators thing q mongers inside the national electric company said that investigations are underway and those responsible will be punished now the question of course is if the majority of the venezuelans will believe them believe them and how long it will take for the electricity the electric grid and communications to be back in venezuela an international organization the monitors communications were why this saying that

ninety six percent of venezuelans don't have access to the internet right now as we speak and there were a number of clashes today in the streets between the police and supporters of one what more can you tell us. well there in that happened on saturday morning ahead of the demonstrations when the first opposition activists tried to take to one main avenues they were confronted by the police and pushed to the sidewalk and not allowed to build a stage from which the leader of the opposition was expected to speak but when more opposition supporters arrived they were able to demonstrate where they had planned to and actually we saw the police standing back when there was a massive amount of people there and why i was finally able to speak from

a bridge this was in many ways a sort of symbolic victory for the opposition that was able to mobilize a lot of people in what were very difficult to just see conditions a minute the metro system in the railway system was now working most of public transportation is now working in the country the people were dealing with shortages and they were able to mobilize these people white doll said he will call on more demonstrations in the coming days and he called on the biggest demonstration of all what he's calling the takeover of people arriving through the cup we're told from across the country and to organize that he promised to travel to a number of regions across venezuela with the regional opposition leaders to organize this demonstration in the future but we don't have a date for that. today on the venezuelan colombia border thank you let's bring in medina is a form of that as well a diplomat at the u.n.

he joins us live from cambridge massachusetts via skype mr medina the u.s. in a number of countries in the west backing but given the chaos and violence we've seen in venezuela should the u.s. and some of those countries share the blame for much of the instability we've seen . thank you for how he daring and i appreciate your question because it's very important to clarify that these regimes thrives on chaos they actually created that's why it is a self-inflicted economic meltdown due to grand corruption interest as you can see in the electrical industry. for example in company he wears a suit briefcase company that took on a one year the same year when they were created of more than eleven contracts that were hundreds of millions of dollars and they had no assets or knowledge or for his knowledge and this is what has created certain deficiencies of course

a lack of maintenance and a lot of nice management of treasury funds we have seen a lot of indictments o'briens over a billion dollars there have already they even come in venezuela in the last fourteen years has been more than fifty martial plants and it's impossible now to understand how we have more than ten percent of this you billion population. eating from the garbage cans when we have at least project your behaviors from the had a chance to be more than five million forcibly displaced people by the end of these year already three point five million people challenging their boundaries and their sovereignty of colombia ok we'll in our neighborhood let me let me just jump in here because the u.s. hasn't ruled out minute trying to venture in venezuela but many u.s. officials are warning against it saying a military intervention and occupation should not be attempts and even burning saunas as want against it. yes well in my opinion i think the

constitutionally interim president should out upon the need of their people and to request not immediate terry intervention but any international humanitarian intervention with military support and that's why our legal one eighty seven eleven or national constitution allows the old three station requests for a military cooperation to come into our country when we have hundreds of people dying every day at least in the last forty eight hours only because of the lack of electricity we're going to hundred people have to say so but usually it's nine hundred people daily so how worried should a juror be i mean in the last two decades u.s. forces have invaded panama with that even intervened in countries like grenada but in this case madeira pretty much has the support of his armed forces doesn't it when he has a little bit more than that there and he has a sort of like a in syria he has the support of russia iran and the support of turkey but also if

you add to that support he has dinosaur ports here land far and has he has a lot of the more likely not only of violence force but then one not only of these i would call the rogue states and illegal organizations some of them even terrorist organization running forty percent of the country where out least forty know there are twenty three states i've run by eleven from colombia and that peace agreement that was i mean colombia they moved to the invitation from shadows so this is a very difficult situation that allows different. let me get a final thought from him mr hadley no i mean the u.s. has had a long history of intervention in latin america countries like guatemala. of all seen u.s. intervention which in some cases has led to decades of violent unrest so what more action are we not to to see from washington do you think. first i believe today was

also a great answer from the united states judicial center when there was an indictment on the former vice president telling a lie sammy where he has been already on he was under eighteen being out sanctions in two day he had and i mean done an indictment and therefore where he leaves now he knows this is not a joke he will be apprehended and i would say i would invite the u.s. to come into his well i'm going to hand all these criminal three shells from his regime and their truck and pay their prison time in the u.s. there's a lot that the u.s. can do is more of an international coalition for life in america ok eyes i asked medina thank you very much indeed for talking to al-jazeera. still to come here us but kurdish fighters are pairing for a final push. against. against isis last area in syria and

fighting in but guzman's pulls a lot more civilians to leave on saturday and i still fly could still be seen in the town aid groups say tens of thousands of fled the area since the start of the offensive by kurdish fighters last month.
