7:27 am
a vicious cycle that even police say his spun out of control half the people injured over the weekend were shot here on chicago's west side it's been the most dangerous part of the city lately much of it burned in the riots of 1968 and people here say it's never really been safe since. killings here have actually gone down since they hit a 20 year peak in 2016 but the windy city remains the most dangerous major city in the united states a dubious honor everyone here would like to lose john hendren al jazeera chicago. shameful and unacceptable that's how canada's prime minister has described the findings of a report into the killings of indigenous women justin trudeau has promised a national action plan after a government inquiry concluded that canada was complicit in a racist based genocide yeah britain's a reports and at the center of the star blanket is i can't hide the full
