for killing more than three hundred civilians more than the taliban and eisel combined it is counterproductive this is just going to create more enemies and more taliban this is not going to help needed because of the afghan government nor the cause of the u.s. led coalition in iraq and afghanistan the u.s. military has defended its actions in afghanistan we hold ourselves to the highest standards of accuracy and accountability we strive for precision in all of our operations we reserve the right of self-defense of our forces as well as the afghan security forces. and search operations all night raids by afghan intelligence units and a militia known as the haas protection force killed another seventy two civilians they target taliban suspects and is supported by the us but are outside of the afghan government's chain of command. a consequence of that is that they're an accountable. we have now repeatedly called for them to be

brought within their command and control structure after appropriate vetting. or disbanded the report also found that the total number of civilians hurt or killed has fallen to its lowest level since twenty thirty in the low eighteen hundred that is due to a drastic drop in suicide bombings by the taliban and i still have her back in condos that's of little comfort this family had fled fighting in another province and were just passing through looking for a safe place to rist until they could return home charlotte dallas al-jazeera kabul . iran's president says he remains open to negotiations with the united states has sun rouhani says talks could resume if the u.s. apologizes and stops squeezing the uranium economy it comes after washington withdrew sanction waivers for china india and iran's other major oil customers same

a war plane colliding killing eight u.s. servicemen this hunk of metal is all that's left of the road an ism of one of the helicopters that was meant to fly from the desert in the east of the country directly into the heart of the iranian capital and fly american hostages out on display at the old u.s. embassy now a museum it's become a part of iran's public relations campaign against the united states. it was the only mission of its kind that saw american boots on iranian soil and rouhani is warning on the anniversary of the incident of the possibility of more american adventurism is not without its reasons the continued policy aimed at reducing iran's oil sales to zero is a major economic and national security concern here into iran some iranians compare america's anti iran messaging to the rhetoric that preceded the invasion of iraq in two thousand and three the sanctions regime is also reminiscent of iraq after the first gulf war in one nine hundred ninety one but supreme leader ayatollah ali

khamenei made it clear iranian oil will continue to flow despite american intimidation my own little buddy can your middle buddy kilo's and even we will explored as much as we need and want the enemy must know that this hostility won't remain without a response the nation of iran won't remain silent against us hostility the consensus in iran seems to be that war with america is unlikely as the cost would be too high and that there has been talking to one of disrupting the strait of hormuz which would wreak havoc on oil markets but for now it may just be saber rattling what i'm saying is it is in our interests and not our national security interest to keep the persian gulf open to keep the strait of almost open but as long as sanctions continue to heighten tensions what happens next remains unpredictable zain. to her on. israeli military is expected to

family has been through and that's because the family has already seen both also homes being demolished by the israelis there melissa of houses against the use of committing attacks against that as a few units of measure is not a new policy however human rights organizations say that other forms of collective punishment are on their eyes in the search for also the israeli forces that is that several of his friends and family members. the army says the attention is for interrogation during which they submit a secret file to the church only those arrests are often meant to put pressure on the wanted person and once that person surrenders the potential hostage so to speak and. fifteen year old candidate she was arrested in september after the israeli army traded house looking for her brother he was wanted for throwing stones. his only sister so on his weak spot that will give him no

has become a must for its large number of elderly many aged one hundred. one i want to investigate. and help on al-jazeera. back. when. he was nineteen when he tried heroin for the first time. by the age of twenty three it almost ruined him. to live and. when he checked himself into this drug treatment center in texas he knew that getting clean would be hard work. but soon he'd be introduced to a new concept. work based therapy. and then they.

work these men also ended up in rehab seeking treatment for addictions that had taken over their lives. but their treatment plans were soon dominated by long hours working for private corporations. with a low carbon containers. they often say i can't do this anymore they work these jobs without pay for me to. describe. to work every day. of the week you have nothing to show for. and they labored in dangerous conditions . for. a little. while i was over. there. and there's what they call work there and what is works are these are such a thing they say. you work to pay for your training. but it was really

a lottery. so often people. feel expendable this is going on for a long time and attention when these two reporters began asking quest. since about workplace therapy they covered a national trend for the whole things called old work ok. in the midst of an american drug epidemic they found a high demand for low cost rehab and a set of labor practices that might be illegal people just didn't have enough time to get their required hours of counseling because work came first these are the stories of four men who were told that work would help them beat their addictions in this collaboration with the reveal from the center for investigative reporting faultlines finds out what happened to them instead place was. all about manipulation and greed.

for five decades a nonprofit called the center court foundation has made a promise to people seeking help with serious addiction. i was loss loss in my addiction to my life spinning out of control check into one of scent of course three long term rehab centers in texas and louisiana and work a job to pay for your treatment but there are also. treatments to tell it to me that truly worked with a counseling. center for two years later you can walk away clean and sober cynic or can help you right. they make it out to be a sweet deal and to get there until you get your mind right after you get there and you get little clean time you start at thanks training and i knew then you start to

think well you know this is kind of shady dealings i got. when he entered the program in two thousand and thirteen ethan sanctus agreed to work without a paycheck. remember signing this g.m. president received no monetary compensation for us i'm responsible. in the facility all funds you see go directly back to the foundation to help offset the costs of treatment services saying isn't right here. soon his days were spent cutting wood at this sawmill outside of houston called skid. load for the day you know bunch of pals full of wood solid hurry up and get it all down and i'll be down about one o'clock and then bring on this guy and start on these anybody who's going to get tired of working for a year straight not get you know seven corps clients work unpaid jobs a private companies for eighteen months if they graduate the program they can be

hired on as paid employees but the problem is the majority of the people leave around a year they'll make it that long work for free that long and then get mad and tired and leave the power so tight they just they're constantly given a year work a year or ten months for work from people and then i turn around in the last five years said of course partnership with more than three hundred private companies generated about thirty six million dollars making it one of the largest and most lucrative work based rehab programs in the country. you know wouldn't statement the court told us that work has therapeutic value for clients ethan says his job left a little time for actual therapy sessions the whole time i was there i could probably count on both my hands how many times i want to grow up and in the light and love on a war and focus more on like recovery thank . reporters amy julia harris and shawna walter have documented similar stories from

about one hundred former senate clients now their investigation has turned to the accounts of former staff choice holly is the sandra. after nearly three years as a counselor to the course but loose facility. andrea brooks left her job in two thousand and eighteen. and curious what role you think work plays and recovery and what that ratio should be to counseling just five. hours. so in staff meetings we would raise the question they're working too much and he

said they did not work that much now we heard that from the client so we wanted to know for a fact thank you bilodeau also worked at the baton rouge facility as a clinical director. joining a year at suncor she became concerned that work was getting in the way of her clients recovery did other counselors there have the same concerns as you every one of them did. every time the issue was brought up they would deny and say no they're not working those amount of hours we would say it again they will deny deny and then we just made up a spreadsheet to show the proof at a staff meeting piggy presented center court monitors with a document that revealed that some clients were working twelve hour days seven days a week it was gratifying to slide on the spreadsheet across with the data or data but you had kind of proof of what you were saying yeah i was disappointed that we saw the facts the facts were delivered the facts were not acted on that's what i

was disappointed about and so i was hope that we had could have made a difference where we could given a more solid foundation to move forward on but it was not it was not that it just kind of fell on deaf ears. outside the bad news. the silty the long work days continue. it's just after dawn and these white vans are shuttling senekal clients to jobs. many will end up inside the oil and gas industry some of the most dangerous work places in america. in two thousand and fourteen alister williams was working at a chemical plant called for most of plastics. the job building scaffolds put him seventy feet in the air. there's a scar right there i was cut from here to here on a rainy day alister slipped and fell shattering his knee my kneecap was nearly on

the side of my leg i'm in a really strong she and pray i'm crying and carson and. you know please give me to the hospital haven't a jobs you had no training to do. have been a job for a very dangerous. you know people when they had no experience. knows right. into the real world just looking around and just. you don't know which direction to go. after surgery i was to had months of recovery from the phone so i had to learn how to walk on. that's once in a corps officials called them into a meeting they gave me an automated. you know either you know. i get to step. one so that's what i was i was faced with. i would get that. job or leave yourself.

for ethan evers the choices were even more stark. he could work long hours for a subcontractor at this wal-mart warehouse or face prison time. or you ever worried about you know saying you need a break or complaining about the type of work you could get kicked out of the program you know we've been told that several times if you refuse to go to work you're refusing to pay for your program and therefore you can leave the program. about half of clients are sent to rehab by a judge that's what happened to evers after he failed a drug test violating his felony probation and could go back to the judge and see if he once or what he wants to do and more likely was he listens to me and so we're talking about three felonies. go away for a while. or. across

the us some defendants are being given the option of drug treatment instead of prison. you may be seated inside the dallas criminal courts judge ernest white says incarceration won't help people on his docket beat their addiction. we did lose one of our clients about a year and a half two years ago to her when. we tried to stay on top of the folks particular to her. judge white special court program requires people to seek treatment make regular visits to court and stay clean test positive for. come back positive. i'm not buying your story about how. this is your chance to get it all right. if this man continues to fail drug tests judge white has options he can lock him up or he can send them to

a treatment facility like. if you can stay clean is going to. be inpatient. in a decade judge white a sense many people to live inside cynical facilities. but there's more to the story of this court reform the unpaid work programs that clients are sent to labor and might be illegal they're facing the prospect of jail they're addicted they need treatment they're desperate. i would say. because of that desperation because of the position they find themselves and i think that the government broadly has an obligation to try to protect us during two decades. of companies that had failed to pay their workers. we showed them the way. that waiver is in effect.
