12:17 pm
a lucrative business especially in the glutted areas where real jobs are hard to find brandon cotman went to prison for dealing heroin so you can see why. you do caught up in that because if i'm making one hundred to two hundred dollars a day. and if you save your money you see one week to save in your money you're right. practically all of the fentanyl on the streets comes from china or mexico it's smuggled or even mailed to be u.s. the world's biggest market of opioid drug users the u.s. government is applauding china's crackdown on sentinel exports but here in baltimore there is only skepticism you will be noticed. let me see if we can google. parker says he's trying to get clean now he receives treatment at this mobile

12:21 pm
coming up next it's a radicalized stay with us. struggling to pay their rent the problem isn't just limited to pleasure cities. of the idiots it's called the front. we bring you the stories of the shaping the economic world we live in. counting the cost on al-jazeera. ironic that when many governments along the wall declared that the fight against terrorism is the number one priority this hasn't.
12:22 pm
the feel has continued the attacks have continued we have to wonder why is this the case. for the past twenty years i've been working on the question of political violence and terrorism it's persistence in our lives in our times in our societies begs the question why. could it be that the policies governments think will prevent violent extremism might actually be making things worse in the aftermath of the nine eleven attacks on the united states in two thousand and one you could visibly see that the world has been securitized a certain architecture of things has materialized literally there is a certain presence of the state security that has been created.
12:23 pm
the militarized presence has really transformed the scene of the world around us. there has been new legislation that has increased powers of surveillance that have given more of an ability to shrink the privacy space for citizens around the world . news alerts all the time keeping the citizen on their toes a certain friends jala g of be careful observe with or if something that doesn't look right to be kept out tactically generally a sense of fear from. the threat has that been lessened has there been results in terms of addressing it and the paradox is that it has not quite the opposite so clearly something is not working. we must remember that the majority of political violence is not carried out in the
12:24 pm
name of any particular religion and certainly not only in the name of one in twenty seventeen here in the diverse london area finsbury park a man drove a van into the crowd leaving a mosque saying he wanted to kill all muslims but does the securitized response reflect this complex reality i've come to ask the young people here for their experiences. i was search more than four or five times within two months i felt that i was i was came because of my color rather than tradition wise i was actually. search for tongues as well in underground as a so-called random searches which i didn't think it was a random search it was a norm in that time and still now i think that you expect every now and then to get a stop it's not nice. but every now and then it happens and the narrative it has been going around for a such a long time if writing it when i see bearded man carrying
12:25 pm
a bag i get. suspecting that's a reality it's a sad reality you when you have internalized it become like i said if i am a person of muslim faith and i get like that i am the same what the other people might fear as well and it's i don't think it's necessarily is the fault of the people is the responsible of the media we've done that people who often dorothy who put this narrative out there bearded man or a man of certain color may cause harm this needs to change we are kind of like brainwashed to think that one. so that's the obsession with security just affect muslims or do others feel that they are suspects as well looking at post nine eleven and how you have been experiencing a lot of terrorism attack and so how did you live through those years and how do you look at how authorities have been dealing with this it was challenging because people's perspective of the minority group had already been made up and their
12:26 pm
mindset towards people of color people of faith people from about kwame really didn't understand it was the fear of the unknown and we suffered from the collateral damage of that what's now expected of minorities after this event i feel like they're expected above and beyond decency in a sense to not be perceived as nuisance or menace or any of these things i think it's quite devastating in how. we're automatically labeled with doing so. and that's who it is based on person's actions is not the best example for the younger generation and if they have to walk around in fifth thinking of cause i look like this automatically i'm going to treat it like this it will be like this in the future or not how people leave food and our race gender or religion you will it doesn't have to always be like the more you are probably to be
12:27 pm
if you are so is its core certainly from for me it's. living in this traumatized society everybody's living in fear of being judged being pointed big key to being isolated how can we now face tomorrow knowing this is what people think of us while the british government claims to celebrate diversity many feel that their main policy against violent extremism reinforces these attitudes. given the right continue. to. represent terrorism. terrorism and. the three. can. prevent sponsored governments contest strategy which the counter-terrorism initiative ask is for example to identify signs that somebody might be vulnerable to radicalization or extremism in lectures might be looking for
12:28 pm
a change in behavior a change in social groups that young people are parts of mood for example it might be that people might sound a bit more aggressive they might sound spirit say it's like in something from a far right websites or it's the repeating nots. paper hops a change. drafts and suddenly an increase would say to say the top three of definition of allison's indeed absolutely. my son ten six a police officer from her via. a lot of questions about his arabic teacher and what he was learning and i remember. i remember my child timing to me like. why is he asked me the same question again and again.
12:29 pm
i didn't know my rights i felt like there was this big doll hole i fell into no one knowing because i sent my son to school. we've documented nearly five hundred cases of individuals impacted by prevent today these cases demonstrate both and islamophobia framework operates within the policy but also we have now see how the policy has created a collective trauma to the community including children so it's innocence the policy has created what it's supposed to be fighting essentially you have to distance yourself from your family you just feel more and more isolated they have by day there was just you share your constant fear you have to do it alone whether it's teachers or doctors your social workers anybody you have this mistrust
12:30 pm
of everybody because you don't know anymore who to trust and you don't know what will happen to your children if you go to a doctor or if they will report you to someone. it's very interesting to see that which george orwell was wired to go out decades ago has in effect now materialized. and speaks a certain language of all sorts of speech so. certain language of demonization certain groups are racialized a certain approach to discrimination there is a name. growing up since nine eleven this generation starts from a completely different perspective than other generations would have had one where it starts from a point of view of fear of
12:31 pm
a certain vulnerability of having to prove itself almost being paranoid all the time the very sense of uncertainty but also of a certain vulnerability. to find out how this might affect young people psychologically i've come to meet the verge introduce a psychologist who deals with marginalized young people. threat is the number worn through password really you know we're told it's everywhere we're told we're supposed to be highly suspicious of everybody and everything and i think it has a real impact on one sense of self as we know children are incredibly receptive and perceptive you know if a think that their teacher or star of our or even mental health professionals are screening them that starts to really fragment the way in which you can have a relationship with a young person and yet today we have kids sitting in a class and feeling that they are in a policing system and the impact is you don't belong here you don't fit for
12:32 pm
a child who's developing and trying to find a way of being in the world that's a huge. sort of rebuff and i think that what i've seen then happens is that the narrative grows of everybody feeling that difficulty with this child suddenly children and then find themselves excluded not in mainstream school there in people refer units young people that i've worked with can find themselves there and really have a struggle you know internally about is this me is this is this the person i am well actually yes people are telling them it is. that's why all that and then i think there is this sort of gathering momentum for many of the old to join gangs to join to join because because that's the trajectory and it's very difficult to resist. being labeled a threat leads in many ways if the person is not
12:33 pm
a threat and if they are innocent to a sense of injustice many reports show that injustice and out of your nation are factors in making people susceptible to the appeal from groups like islamic states who have found ways to turn the west glamorization of violence against itself. you go see a mission impossible type of movie or a homeland type of t.v. series where this is all staged and presented as the logical normal narrative of the new world we live in. the paradox of the imagery as it is literally downloaded on these youth is that it becomes internalized the look at it and process it and they themselves tend to sometimes have to find ways to act in the video games for hours. and then many of those ending say in the military of the united states on forces and.
