and we'd get a ambushed and they'd be shoot madison stuff i would use my rifle to big noise just . as scare wallace but i did what i heard him mostly sit stand not men do defects p.t.s.d. and depression and i don't know to the hell you're talking 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 oh. i'm comes on dunn.

is right. in his. life he was known lean to me and we both. took care of a man when 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 dead. going through that. tore me to pieces.

give. you the story. less prone to. error. for the day. to see. 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 have to set aside our rational human response and then having

cut all those feelings all off you know you're sent to it because if you don't you just start screaming that one day and the middle of it and you won't stop i went out to a track in 2009 and we got bombed every thursday they went off and rock allow rock rock around some more around whatever happened one night one of those rounds hit $34.00 guys and. i think one of them survived i really remember because kind of burnt my memory with math and everything turned forget about it but. we lost 33 guys 3 m.p.'s. he talked about numbness and i got back i had no fear period i don't i was afraid 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 equate. with the use

using it would. not have been a whole that dime a big boy. i could've made it well if i use the unemployment because i got employment for 2 years i would use it right instead of using it to subside my my fears my you know my my feelings very much yeah i could have went somewhere but i didn't i just explained it that i've been here almost 90 days now the 23rd of this month the 19th what i'll be asking for an extension because i can 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. and. i just thank god for each one of my bets with regards to whether you're ready an army navy coast guard they're not marines that ask you up for thank you.

when i actually came here and i mean yeah that person scary situation and the diversity here is you know we have straight and we have gay and we have transgender and i'm actually a gay veteran and also came out with. my hiv status i'm a chubby 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 was actually remarkable. and we become so rich that we could give me. career care 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 vets all the time i said look you know i'm i'm not a social worker by nature. a room. so . 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 my vets on. the. planet.

earth. oh wait no. the program is designed it's a 30 bed transitional program for homeless vets and so yes they all had to been 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 or you. interventions difference 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're either. going to have red. meat mismatch it's a little that you think may be hung over. to them or you. used to fire through and worm farm are the reason i would get sleep in. sydney i really just want to be from. the way of life for the marines. just. so we're learning how to do just. so we can maybe a relationship with more. children and its worth. nice employer

doesn't turn destructive. like that morning to you yeah and every morning. sorry i see what i do guy right now when he 1st came in here he was with me i thought he needed medication bag because you get out he would if he was having a real bad time and counselor 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 leave. that you know yeah yeah well you had to leave or not i did it and it went to 2 weeks of 2 and 2 weeks and he was calm down it was amazing it was. all going good to swab the floor the navy guys should be getting. their call swamis. the one thing i like to highlight

optically with their 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 supportive housing program. everybody takes turns doing chores and somebody has been living on the street for 15 years cleaning 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. i don't know i don't know how to say it but there's just i love this place you know how i wish everybody could experience this.

this is my car again 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 and i would have sleeping bag pulled up over me and my pillow behind my head but as you could see i'm not burkle or horizontal. 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 enough you just pass them out a way to do that and you wake up in the morning so or you know and you do you start

your day all over again doing the same thing trinket so you wouldn't have to feel anything when you when you try had 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 my so said to not. and i went to 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 this so good. i'm going to hang on to what i get. a leg and go.

to dinner pretty. good it will. let me go to school each. day he's going. to be there. but when it's so tough for. me to get big fish i'll. just. have you seen circumstances where you can say i've seen circumstances in which the client didn't want to be saved. somebody will decide. her winner or i'll call was much more important at that moment and then we just hope that we left enough of an impression that at some point they'll be ready for hoping the come back we can. never turn our back on a veteran and we're not going to do it today hopefully someday they'll all come

back. i have just had i am a veteran of 2 branches i did 6 years active duty many is a separate mission from there i went into the naval reserves. completed i went into the army national guard which i'm still hurt currently serving in. where that total of 14 years now for the car they were to play with just sticks i have periods i swear i have a substance abuse problem that i have about all that and get over it which was hard but i've done it now and again and this last time was a lot harder but at least i was able to. bounce back from it all. and since then have been trying to find income to help kind of move forward to.

read and here we have to cross over into it a creek area. and give you a heads up when. you're holding is an compassed way of 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 do these 2 things. and then to think about where is our next hour. can i do anything you look colas and your clothes are all dirty himself like that you can't better even if you want to change. a lot of great stuff that's like agent reagan.

here a little platform where i stand. with my friends and couple other neighbors so to say. that this is our tank that group is a profit that i think has also given a nation to yes good ventilation and then there's them our friend vicki is well they're ranking in that they stay on here with us this general you were saying right off of a freeway in the woods so welcome to woods. june on al-jazeera people in power returns with an investigation into why india's capital delhi has some of the worst and pollution in the world. 2 years into the blockade we look at the future of the g.c.c. crisis and its impact on life in qatar join us for special coverage the big picture

to solve things i think that there will be a correction if not right away at some point because these measures are neither in the interest of mexicans nor united states citizen royce the u.s. secretary of state is one that america will not relent on its sanctions against iran might be visited germany to pressure europe to back washington as tensions escalate with teheran germany is party to the 2050 nuclear agreement that the u.s. withdrew from european leaders have since set up a framework for trading with iran to bypass u.s. sanctions well in sudan protesters of worried that a long running sit in will be dismantled by the ruling transitional military council the protest in hard to help bring down dictator model bashir last month but major general of 100 of sudan's paramilitary rapid support forces dismissed the demonstration as a threat to the revolution. iranians have turned out in force across the country. demonstrations of being held in a show of support for the palestinian cause iran has marked the day since the start

thank you very little platform where i stand. with my boyfriend my couple other neighbors so to say. this is our tank group is a profit. so when they i know about that being homeless man situation i remember 2 nights ago now when the robbery happened the sheriff's office ended up coming down here looking for the sale and sort of thing came down here will. come out basically told us they have a week to move. and it's quite common here in the homeless community. when the trends are definitely the most underserved population. we could put a man that's homeless right now no problem but we have a young female that has no place to go and has to hide for us to

hide talk. our. base is actually a new town off of our and my last paycheck the 1st one when it was over in this corner and after the 1st rain because it had holes and whatnot we were so all of our betting everything with us and just so and i was lying down in my socks my clothes was wrinkly minutes of them yeah. these are my girls. they were both rescues. clearly like my heart tends to be bigger than i can handle. blade

logistically you know. i have had her students which is 5 weeks old and the v.a. certified her as a therapy dog for me she actually just being my. baby. turned it into like a peach yes response to all of sudden i'm feeling like really edgy. defensive should really only post up close to me and make sure that nobody like. a religious event she i think she knows that nobody's going to hurt me if she just knows that like there's times i can't handle it was proximity to other people. i was a navy diver. so. i did primarily as submarine rescue and i worked on actually had a really cool job in the navy. undiagnosed mental illness was

a major part of why ended up homeless. these girls back in here. a minute ok. you can totally mean you can get in there. i've got my eye the snake now sure drugs that you know. at the ready and i haven't missed a dose of my medication since i've been given it and i just really like a i mean like i can write lists now and like realistically c.l.'s 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. but at the same time i have i do have a roof over my head and 4 walls busy 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. it you know and when i'm in a position to like reach out and help somebody else that your ass i'm going to be there like as soon as that opportunity shows up when my son will have. me.

for the pathology of trauma and if that are in is them wanting to i sleep from society from each other and we 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 tables to make friends you know to do things that people enormous a sudden you. contacted security. being with other people. was what heels. to do for. their growth. rate that. all right so one of yours is ready to move on week knowledge that accomplishment it would be giving up of this coin runs a very special point on one side says it's

a recovery because that's what you guys all are now the other side says i came with hope worked and learned i have a new life. a life that i earned this corn is going to be for didn't smell her. tennis and only for a while a loving man you felt me with my spiritual growth. did you know that you're my hero when you are. that. good luck. yes. oh very simplified plans for that job by their very good record. brother who's seen it.

deduces can be hard to see it really because i can really talk to you about my stuff. your desperation to all these kinds here we're going to miss you thank you. i feel the same way charity goes down it's just you know i'm an issue so much you've done so much for me hope me in every where you really have hope you know that i'll make this your study guide so you know i was in jail it be a guy be a late picks me right out the jail banks are you right here ike i hear words. shower shoes on. family have straying orders against me. i came here with so much shame and this place picked me up and you guys did too. you know i saw

a lot of working i mean you guys looking forward to get out of here you know and have a good autonomy i think i want that autonomy and i want to feel good about myself to get my family back. god bless you all and thank you. and i'd be remiss trudy i love you too you've been like you've been a great friend to me we hit it off right off the bat i forgot i forgot i'm sorry i missed you we hit it right off the bat. yeah. sure. right person. you. heard me say. the. far. better. way to. this.

given. moment yesterday when i left the story completely had no idea who it was didn't know where my car was had a full blown panic attack 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 the stuff i've stuff for 20 years. i don't buy it that's my good friend jenny hi how do you do. dave dave this is jay jay mohr nice to meet you. i went into the coast guard to go help others when i was 17 and a month before i went to maps they weighed me and told me i was 5 pounds overweight

i was 170 lb body builder with 6 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 112 pounds. so i finally was able to get into rehab in rehab my 1st 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 assaulted or i have been brutally badgered they had 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 3 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 20 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 80 norco's percocet xanax prepared all and then some into an argument like you shouldn't drink of whiskey. 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 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 bitch today. 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 of suicide i'm. well you know you're inspiring i'll say that my goodness to 2 of you

to come out of the other side of what you have been through and what you have been tempted is amazing thank you you are made of iron thank you are no. i would like to just share some things with you i was going to do you can. have short term memory. to have. characters. i'm not the. route to haiti to a patient and a little pain. or caroline. the. nurse i was least in charge of who's in charge of me i don't want to use charge.

was just a wonderful person. gratitude . so the 1st 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. 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. 33 will walk down here or remember this in my mind i know it. they say that. a veteran commits suicide every 61 minutes here in the united states and unfortunately i think the number is so off the drinking the drugging 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. reverted it least in the last month 24 suicide sued the training that and can

mandate my case managers get and then. you know we've probably lost 3 in the last 2 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. when. we have a lot of successes to clients that come into the program they work really hard. and they leave us. i don't want to say normal but they leave us you know better productive members of the community they are happy they're healthy yeah the 1st week go out to get by a truck a brick you believe every do. you start it up. you know fill

resist you know the big. it works with the group the group there if you really were . it was it. works well because role that you ensure that you are. and the staff here 1st or there's a this 24 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 got the work out in a safe environment to go back to sleep and say no you know the sheriff's arresting me. to spank you. and more every year the more good things to come or. so former days give me.

your life back in your. face feel out of and you're like. get out if you've ever had to do anything let you off but we were. 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. i've actually got might even be 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 she did receive she was able to take care of her debt with her storage facility she actually has to go in choice and space there's always room for dinner.

out 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 that apps they're going to leave readily believe there's a hotel right next to 2nd to come and i was right i just heard about that you know we looked and looked and looked and we've disconsolate come up against the door. for 5 dollars i'm going to get groceries you better get a number of really great when you're not like a 100 or you know take a bus like that. you're. on the. phone with. a member of.

my. belief it's going to. take you very much only i was really a. somebody yeah i think that 320 and 32 going in and. they. were a. baby here but take them camping camp. takes them according to me. said to me that means. that you're all going to meet me right we're going without some friends you don't have your kids. and they may have only met one of them what i. think are good you can think of yes thank you for your service thank you for.

your. story. the bloody. shop. 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. going to. read the good game.

look at the trauma for the trauma and every corner of every room of every building that we run i mean every day is torture every night is sleep loose and so necessary for half the conflicts be sentenced to. the. suspect. on. the streams of. looming. he. you know these guys are heroes and they deserve. the best of what we've got we made a promise to these people when you were flipping to pick for once you know we make a lot of promises americans that we don't keep well this is one promised goddamn of the need to suit the need to cure these people that are. horde see.

dad. you could snap your fingers and have something spectacular happen. you know my 1st 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 who.

how the cold has crept north through a good part of australia you can't really tell when this is mr lee but you watch the temperature max in alice springs down the queens and coast would suggest showers nothing that's going to be reflected in the forecast so the $22.00 in times though not very warm while the on that is same is for the south in brisbane and we're coldest 2 as have been the case for a couple of days in victoria and dancer tasmania west to adelaide as well that person is warmish but alice springs as you can see 16 degrees and that's about 17 the day off to townsville is coolest so how often do you see the twenty's in tropical queens and not very often the same scenario is happening in new zealand

had a vast amount of rain and snow for and you can see the circulation here but that circulation as it brought snow course you could think is probably quite cold it is the forecast reflects that wellington's high in the 12 on saturday or clint only 13 and you've got precious little sight of the sun a lot more rain still to come some snow of course at height and it's even colder on sunday the sun might be rather more dominant but your highest temperature washington is plus 9 a bit of heights one is or was it's colder still. on counting the cost from credit fueled currency crisis how can you fix turkey's economy. made in america how much would consumers. pay for u.s. made goods and the debt crisis is making it harder for mozambique to invest for the future. counting the cost.

0. hello i'm maryanne demasi this is the news hour live from london coming up in the next 60 minutes mexico's president sends his foreign minister to washington after donald trump escalates his threat of tariffs on mexican goods. we've been pretty clear about trade with iran that are sanctioned in their terms that are not. the

u.s. 100 pm need is against bypassing it sanctions to continue trading with iran. media freedom under threat in sudan activists warn it could signal a new crackdown on dissent. on the an a m e t e y t u r. and make no mistake it was one for the record books 8 children were crowned the winners of the u.s. national spelling bee. and then for the west indies began their cricket world cup campaign with an emphatic a victory chris gayle star the as they crossed party style by 7 wickets in nottingham. ockham's the program our top story mexico's foreign minister has traveled to washington for talks after the us president threatened to impose new tower ifs on

mexican imports donald trump said he would increase tariffs by up to 25 percent unless mexican authorities do more to start crossing america's southern border stocks and wall street fell after that announcement by trump mexico's president says the people of mexico don't deserve to be treated that way. sit by. i believe this measure will be further analyzed by the united states government i believe that president trump will understand that this is not the way to solve things i think that there will be a correction if not right away at some point because these measures are neither in the interest of mexicans nor united states citizen. let's get some reaction out of washington where alan fischer joins us and so can we what can we expect to a much from these talks and from this visit by the mexican foreign minister. well the difficulty is on one side you've got donald trump saying i'm bringing in

these tad of people that the white house are saying well we certainly got mexico's attention and we of others like republican politicians the u.s. chamber of commerce saying this is a terribly bad idea is a bit like the old psychological tests they give you when there are lots of dollars depending on who you are and what your view is you see things differently and that's where we are at the moment no donald trump says he will bring these in in a week and make score obviously hoping that they will be able to convince him that that is not a good idea and pointing out again and people have done this many times of donald trump when it comes to tad of it is not mexico's government that pays tad if it is american consumers and american companies and that makes things much more expensive for people here in the united states the long term he's seeing companies may well then be forced to leave mexico and come to the united states if they want to have

access to the united states market but that is a long term thing so the markets have reacted as you would expect by being done with the end of business on friday and these talks over the weekend might well produce something the other thing you've got to remember is we're coming in the process where the white house wants congress to approve the united states mexico canada agreement that would replace the north american free trade agreement nafta which donald trump said had to be done this puts all of that up in the year because mexico don't want to be seen to be giving into believing from the american government and in particular from donald trump's white house. that's right and of course the timing is remarkable just when they were already concerns about an ex escalating trade war with the chinese now you have markets reacting as you say u.s. companies and consumer as very concerned about the impact of these tariffs can we be sure that we'll pursue this course of action allan what might happen in the

coming weeks is he likely to stick to his position. i think it's in if you start talking about donald trump and coming weeks you're already making that a very wide window i would bring that down to the next 4872 hours mexico has made it clear look what can we do to stop the migrants coming through oh you've got to stay within the rule of law we've got to respect human rights and people have the right to apply for asylum now the united states might not like that but then mexico turns the question on them and says quite simply what have you done to stop this coming through and there are those who would say if you damage mexico's economy that doesn't make people want to stay in mexico that makes people want to go to or i don't know move to the united states so this is a very difficult position but you can tell when you get reaction from chuck grassley who in the past has supported donald trump who is

a republican senator saying this is a bad idea the u.s. chamber of commerce traditionally a conservative organization saying there are no looking to see if there is anything they can do legally to stop donald trump doing this and important groups who would normally support a republican president and the idea of free trade saying this is a terribly bad idea so it seems that the white house decided that they were making this announcement through donald trump's tweet late on thursday because they were what it was going to leak that meant there was no rule there was no briefing there was no speaking to people who could help influence this instead what you have is many many on the republican side being very very angry at a republican president thank you very much for now allan fish in washington. meanwhile chinese tarps on $60000000000.00 worth of u.s. goods have taken effect a trade dispute is taking a toll on america's midwest many farmers

a struggling but for now president still support from that region as john hendren reports from colfax illinois. as the u.s. administration plans ahead in its trade war with china american farmers say they're getting crushed between the world's 2 largest economies we grew a record soybean crop record corn crop and then you take the fact that our largest buyer just disappeared you know we created a huge ending stockpile that is it's going to take years to eat through it not to mention we tripled what we normally carry china's retaliatory tariffs on corn soybeans import have hit their mark american farmers deep in trim country across the midwest are suffering this is private and one of the toughest years that i've experienced in my 40 plus years of farming are bankers i'm starting to get nervous next year is going to be. a tough time as some farmers are not going to get their
