and that collided. introduction bo gauge are turning it into twisted metal. now the rescue efforts got underway but destroyed the rescue by low good and people who were available and helping themselves out of the wreckage. however heavy equipment i had not yet arrived at the dead will be needed to guard through the metro to reach some of the survivors trapped in the wreckage. the 1st official results are written from peruse. presidential run off with 42 percent of the vote counted to tackle fuji morning is ahead. she's got almost 53 percent of the vote while her rival has 47 percent. people have to choose between 2 candidates from political extremes. for jim audrey is the right wing, daughter of our jailed, former president petro casteel is a left when school teacher money on a sanchez is in the mom. but the latest this is the very 1st official resold after a very long night where it came from. you,

marty has pulled ahead by nearly 6 percentage points. that is with 42 percent of the ballots counted. however, the head of the national office of electro processes was very, very clear saying that this is, these are volts counted in from pulling stations that are in urban areas or very close to urban areas. still to be counted the rural vote, the jungle vote, the vote from abroad, which we understand is favoring keiko for he marty. but still there needs to be a lot to be counted in the rural volt. and the very interestingly is that the turn out has been incredibly high, 77.92 percent, which means that our peruvians who usually do not both have gone out and have a voted today in an election that was marked by fear. fear that communism be be,

it may be a ruling in this country or that corrupt a suspects of corruption. cagle, he might, he will in fact become the president with many people that she has chosen for new government as people that come from the people that worked with her father who had the most corrupt government in the history of, through this by transparency of course. so still a lot to be said in the next few hours. mexicans have also been voting. the electoral institute says the president's body is expected to keep its majority in the lower house of congress, although it will be a slightly reduced one. the mid term poll as seen as a test for presidents entre manuel? nope. as often as all said governors, and there's also in the balance. come and harris is on her 1st trip abroad as us

vice president. she's in guatemala, as part of a regional effort to address the root causes of migration house for me to the president to discover, discuss how to fight poverty, corruption and climate change. and she's expected to announce measures to combine smuggling and human trafficking ministry ring of hamas has released an audio recording of what it claims as a captured israeli soldier named carson is said to be one of 4 israelis who been held in garza for several years. and so it says 2 of the soldiers, a dead, the deputy leader of the cost on brigades. no one is told al jazeera from us wants to finalize a prisoner swap with israel. and those are the headlines. the news continues here on our job here in about 25 minutes after the bottom line by the hi, i'm steve clemens and i have some questions. how bad is america's amnesia when it

comes to race and couldn't reconcile with its races past without leading to more racism? let's get to the bottom line. ah, in classrooms and tv channels across the united states, the debate on how to teach american history is all the rage. it's the latest chapter in the countries culture wars. this week president joe biden, mark the 100 anniversary of a long forgotten i should say. long covered up massacre. a black americans in tulsa, oklahoma, in a place called black wall street, because the folks there were thriving. historians say hundreds were killed and thousands became refugees when their white neighbors burned their houses in businesses. the whole episode was whitewashed from the american conscience until very recently, many historians teachers, activists. and now the president say it's about time to teach children about 400 years of white supremacy and modern discrimination against black and brown people and everything from housing to health care and everyday justice. critics call this

critical race theory and they tend to be energetic supporters of former president donald trump. they say that this line of questioning weakens the idea that america is the greatest country in the world and leads folks to look at everything through a racial lens and promote a marxist view of history and economics. they definitely don't want to teach stuff like that tulsa race massacre. so in such a divided country, which historical narrative is it today were joined by reverend doctor william j barber. the 2nd president of repairs of the breach and co chair of the port people's campaign. who attended a major commemoration ceremony of tulsa black massacre and was there with 3 survivors of that awful day as well as precedent. joe biden. reverend barbara, it's a real pleasure to be with you. again. let me just open up. you were in tulsa for a reason you were there to help prepare the breach among those who wanted to cover up an atrocity in america's history. and those who don't want to look at that. tell us about that moment. you know,

this era ground to stand all is an open crime scene with witnesses yet alive. there's never been a full independent autopsy economic autopsy of public health autopsy. and it was a killing and a massacre and a color that the government lay. i want to get is not just people out of the government sanctioned in and allowed it to happen. and then after all of the killing, the community came back and the government destroyed the game through policy, the urban renewal. and yet, like the bible says in genesis when came healed able the blood of abel kept crying from the ground. almost you can kill other people, but the blood still cries and the blood is still crying. but not only to remember and mourn, but to have reparations and repair is forces us to deal with this issue. race is the son of racism, not the other way around. in

a race race systemic racism, the desire to systematically a policy and legally discriminate people gets a certain people came 1st and then the decision to make it based on race king 2nd. so if you don't understand that, you can, can to think that race is just about hatred. but systemic racism is about power, economic power, land power, political power. that's what we have to understand in a moment like this. otherwise, we'll just memorialize the death. and we'll turn this great, this maslick a site into a tourism site rather than a place of transformation and reparation. right? i want to go for a moment to president biden's remarks. president biden is the 1st us president to fully acknowledge the death and harassment that happened that day. 100 years ago, in tulsa,

with listened to precedent by millions of white americans belong to the client. and they weren't even embarrassed by through proud of it. and that hate became embedded systematically and systemically and our laws in our culture. we do ourselves no favors by pretending none of this ever happened or doesn't impact us today because it does still impact us today. we can't just choose to learn what we want to know. and not we should reverend barber. this happened 100 years ago. my family, my own family, helped settle bartlesville, oklahoma, just north of tulsa. and i did not know about this incident until i visited the national museum of african american history and culture in washington, d. c. and i was appalled by my own ignorance. how much more is buried out there in

america that we, we, people like me who want to know simply don't know about black americans, their, their stresses and their contributions about native americans about black america, about latino, you know, and some may say it's amnesia, but you know m needs, it tends to happen accidentally like you hit yourself on the he accidentally. this is intentional neglect. this is revision of history. this is refusing to engage in critical race. they are, you know, actually take that language and, and turn it on the folk that want to use the next. we should have critical race that we should be critical of the way in which history has been under told and not toll. and you know that we're more than a dozen that we know massacres of this kind from 1863 to 1923. you should also know the significance of bad and go in there because when this right happened, there was

a racist narcissus sitting in the presidents in anguish. wilson bay educated, had been president of princeton government of new jersey, but he played the move in the birth of a nation in the oval office and said it was lightening in a bible and the kind of history that we needed to teach in that movie to celebrate the claim and celebrated the claim, massacring communities. it also happened right. doing a pandemic when the president had lab about the pandemic and tried to blame it 100 years ago on spanish people revenue call it was, it was the swine flu. so it's area how you have the similarities. there is so much more. you got wilmington in 1898. you have spring fear. let us not forget that in the early 19, hundreds or late 800 early 190-0100 right after the place versus burgundy decision . and when many black soldiers came back from war one, you have a whole series of massacres. you had massive because you know, the stop the slave revolt. this is america. can history is not just black history.

it's american history. and you had white in 1921 to help black people. and you had certain white supremacy that wanted to do more damage than they did and we cannot cover it. we also, and this is what's important about the president going. he has now say it as the american president, this was a massacre. because he use that mine was you now must use the language of reparation. so you can't say it's a massacre and then just say where we're going to maybe rebuild a road or, or rebuild or some monuments. no, no, no. if it was a massacre, that means you have to deal with the loss that happened being and the potential laws. what was the potential gain for this community? what would have happened? what happens when children get cut off from education? what happens when you under management? this is all land. did somebody steal the all as well?

what would have happened if those banks have franchise 40? is it franchise? so we're probably talking in the billions of dollars of what it would take to actually do the economic reparation, which is one of the reasons basset that we said the group will leave us today. we must have an independent autopsy, an independent commission of economist public health, suspicious environmental lawyers and historian. like to put together a real history of what was lost both then and potentially and then we have to talk about what regulations really look like. let me ask you a question about those. they don't understand that moment in tulsa quite quite as much they're, they're proud of america. they look at america's role in the world. they saw america's performance in world war 2. they saw, you know, black, white and brown people serving together in the military, but they're unaware of a lot of this anguish and terror in the past. is there a way to,

to acknowledge tulsa, to acknowledge what's happened to black americans and brown americans and still find a place to be proud of the united states? how do you reconcile those? because that's what the critics of critical race theory are putting forward. they don't want to put a blight on social studies, which by the way, a lot of americans are not getting any more in schools, but that's what, how they're looking at it. and, and i look at knowing everything is good, but they're saying now we don't want to have that, that part of the equation in it. what's your robots? reverend barber race is a form of mental illness and mental illness. you don't want to deal with reality. so let's just understand though, that don't want to tell this history. that's a whole another issues. it's not even about just wanting that one in america to look could. they don't want the truth to be told, because the truth is the truth. now, think about it. we tell the truth about been a de auto. we tell the truth about the most around we did

a b at now. why is it when it comes to the issue of racism, a slave and what happened to in didn't this people and people of color, all of a sudden we want people to forget it though, how do you do it? you tell the truth, that's the only thing can set you free as on. think i set this free. but the problem with telling the truth about systemic racism is you have to acknowledge that you have to acknowledge the economic destruction. you have to acknowledge that this country is built on top of 250 years of forest blade, but where we chose to make people chattel. now, can you say the car is great, but also have great falls? that's what black folk had to do. all last. my dad was in the navy. he fought for this country. when the navy was segregated, it was not integrated. he was willing to give 1st class blood for 2nd class citizenship because he had hope for the nation. but he also knew that that hope could not live in denial, that hope had to tell the truth. and that's why those who want to cover row,

they don't want to face the truth, which is the only way for us to be free. the only way to repair the damage and you know, what's interesting, the young people want to true. that's why you see all these young white for watching with black lives matter. that's why and the poor people's campaign, a national call for mom, and you see all these young, black and white latino, an age there, todd, there, todd, it was thinking that american exceptionalism, it means perfection for me as a christian, that's not even god that you can i'm not perfect, no person is perfect, but america has deep sands from which she has yet to repent. in fact, real quickly, do you know that there were 5 underpinnings of slavery and racism of his country? first, all was, was, was, was evil economics. and that is the end justifies the means. it doesn't matter how you get the money, even if you have to slay people. bad biology,

you can determine brains size by skin color 602 bits. but we had to be down in order for other people to be political, pass all the do, where every piece of public policy from the declaration to the constitution always had to have a race consideration in it way of discriminated. and then the last thing was heretical ontology that there were, there were all kinds of attempts made to say, god minute this way, this racism, this slave is of the order of the divine. we have to repent those things because they steal, heard us today. that's why we have in about a lower voting rights right now. that's why we couldn't get 15 and a union pad because people are looking at it through the race and how will impact black people in brown people. and lastly, like doctor king says, true, love and true, true has to help people understand that poor white people face a collateral damage because of racism. how,

how much better would talk. so have man as a whole, not the black tells us, but talks as a whole, black wall street had not been destroyed, but instead had flourished me. we have to ask all of these questions and be serious about wherever you know you've been at this for a long time. you and i've had these discussions before, but i think there's no running away from the truth that many white americans in the united states look at the fact that if there were reparations, if we began to have big programs like president biden talked about in tulsa, of spending billions of dollars, i, minority owned businesses of fixing neighborhoods that were, you know, left out and because of transportation decisions, you know, helping to get money back into these communities and community development and whatnot. that they look at that at a cost to them. that if one side wins, the other side loses, it's a 0 sum game between the races. what do you say to that? again, that's wrong economics. first of all, we need a set 3rd. reconstruction of the deal with poverty. and low weight is just not just

based on raise just on based on popular ways is because we got 140000000 pool and lower people in this country. and so what we're doing isn't working because if we was, we wouldn't have over 43 percent of the people living in poverty. and after the pandemic, we've seen 8000000 more people fall into poverty. while 1000000000 made to tree in dollars. we didn't even get even light workers, didn't even give a raise, a raise my living waited, we'd not provide universal health care. so as the king said, and i quote that when you keep down one community, you actually under man all the communities. so what we should look at is that these are investments, if you invest in reparation and not just rep, raven invest in infrastructure and invest in living wages and invest in health care . then actually those investments come back. the question we should ask about all of this is the question that nobel peace prize economists as the stickler when he said, what is the cost of the inequality,

not what does it cost to fix it. but what is the cost of the inequality itself and the cost of the inequality is greater than fixing it. and that's where we must focus on. we cannot say as a nation, we establish just justice and we leave these injustices and dealt with. we cannot say we promote the general welfare of all people, but then we say, except if you were massacred and except you are black, the reality is either all of us rise in america or we're going to all be down. so we need not only reparations, but we need a 3rd reconstruction. we need to have health care for all we need to have living ways is we need to have full investment in education. we need to find this that we're going to deal with the issue of poverty and low wages. that things do not have to be this way. we should use the pass failures as the energy and the her regiment to promote today's transformation. so the 50 years when that people then

say people, roles who decided to move and love and prove and things became better. listen, all of these things we see even this massacre, they were policy decision, is james ball and say, if we made it this way, we can paraphrase, we can change it, we can fix it. the question is, will we have the social and prophetic and more consciousness to in fact 6 and so i'm glad the president was bad, but now that he has called it what it is, the question is, will we have a sufficient policy response to the accurate history that's the question that will we have a sufficient reparations and reconstruction response to this ugly history? and if there is guess what all oklahoma were right. let me say this last month when we talk about oklahoma and it's amazing how many people say, well, we don't want to do rest, right. do you know how most oklahoma and there was something called the homestead

and they were given free lane. they land $50000.00 people up at the bought a shot, a gun, and they took off and wherever they came to land, they can take the claim and get, get hundreds of acres of land. that's the other part of the history. we've also got to tell my brother is that everybody who claim they pulled themselves up by their own bootstrap. they don't even know american history. they're not dealing with reality. the reality is that we have repair, we repaired germany. when we bond, we repaired the, the slave masters after the civil war. the only people we've not repaired at been native americans and african american. and yet we are all here in this country. if we all get repaired in the whole nation gets fixed. and if we raise up from the bottom, everybody gets lifted. you mentioned the 3rd reconstruction reverend, and i want to tell our audience that you wrote very powerfully about this and the new york times recently sharing what the 1st reconstruction next,

2nd reconstruction. you said now is the time for the 3rd reconstruction, but in my view, you were doubtful that we would achieve that. now. what is that? i mean, i know you're setting the bar for what we need to do, but i sense doubt and skepticism that we're at the political moment to make that happen. can you go further? i hope not. but what i do have, what i do have is realism and recognize if the 1st 2 reconstruction were murder, then assassinated, they were never completed. so i have no doubt that it will be, i have no doubt this. everybody's gonna agree. i know it's dangerous when you stop challenging the ruling class, i'm talking and telling the truth about the ungodly, important graphic sums of money that go to a few and, and the end the so little that goes to the so many but he is the quite his for us is the, is the consideration is either reconstruction or an impoverished democracy. so

we got this, what do we want a strong democracy or an impoverished democracy? and if we want that, then we have the change, we have to have a reconstruction. and this is not about marxism associate and you call those they want to know is what it is this a reconstruction. it's what america need to after the civil war. and it was worked until racism and have destroyed is what america needed in the civil rights movement . until he shot it and assassinated and we were to, we try, we need a 3rd now. will it be easy to know is going to be hard? yes, because there are so many forces that want to see this not have and the automatically say this is just about black people. but the poor people can write and says reconstruction is about all people, all people, the 140000000 poor and low, where people in this country who are poor because of policy or support low with policy choices and not their own personal morality revenue in our last minute i want to ask you a question about something president trump has said, which is,

you know, he talk and i talk to some black americans in atlanta who support president from brown americans around the nation to do. he says, said, you know, you've got black mayors, you've got black governors, you've got black leaders, you've got folks out there and have a delivered for you. why not take a chance on him and what he's done and you know, in the last election, he actually got quite a number of brown americans of black americans who support him. what is your response, what it, what it is? there's something wrong in the story about that we've had in the past about black rising from the past and, and, and building bridges with those in assets and what not politically. and what president trump is saying, hey you've, it's the wrong side of the equation over there. join me, well, he got home, he didn't get the majority, you know, because people knew he was just talking. but he was talking nonsense because the reality is he was saying try me. but then he was saying i'm will be against health

care. try me and i'm going to be again voting rights, try me. i'm going to be against living wages. try me, and i'm going to give more money to the corporate elite and less to the community. and so he was just running a car. that's what he's doing, and we back people have looked at public positive plus he was like sure there's some black leaders that have been disconnected from the community king talking about that. but that doesn't mean that. but i will also say this last 30 seconds, whether you're black or white or whatever, not in this country as a whole, democratic republicans has not fully faced the issue of systemic racism and poverty, and wages and ecological devastation and health care and the war economy. black or white and how it impacts all people. that's what we are fighting for. we get, we don't get what party you in until we address these bad issue simultaneously. and policy systemic racism, systemic poverty, ecological devastation,

denial of the year, and a war economy and the false mark, narrative of religious nationalism and why the evangelicalism, until we have just all 5 of them simultaneously. i don't care who you are. what your color is. we have not built the america there ought be, and the america as possible. if we have the con, just to do it, we don't have a scarcity of money or a scarcity of solution. we've had a scarcity of moral consciousness and we'll, well, reverend doctor william j barbara the 2nd president of repairs of the breach and co chair of the poor people's campaign. thank you so much for sharing your candid thoughts with us today. thank you. my friend. bless you always. so what's the bottom line? if you went to americans, one black and one white, what they think about racism in the usa. here's what will happen. most white americans will tell you that black people don't face a lot of discrimination today. that those days were long ago and there's been progress and that things are really evening out. and if you ask most black and brown americans the same exact question,

they'll say exactly the opposite. that black people faced discrimination every single day. all. busy the time starting with applications to work or to college, or random stops by the police to all the opportunities and assets that a lot of white americans start with compared to theirs, which is often little to none. i agree with my guess, reverend barbara to day one election cannot bring about the brutally honest racial reckoning. the country desperately needs. it's a start though, and it opens the door to getting beyond the collective amnesia on racism. and starting to talk about it honestly and openly, finally, but you know what we need to do right now. we need a moment, then, here's my guess. thinking with mister hughes van ellis, a survivor of the tulsa race massacre, 100 years ago after president biden speech there on tuesday. go, go ready? gone up. on top of the 3,

living in a war zone is a risk not worth taking for most. but for a 10 year old boy, there is nowhere else to go. in the absence of his parents, his grandmother dedicates herself to his upbringing. never knowing whether the next explosion will echo one step closer to the place they call home. the distant barking of dogs. a witness documentary on al jazeera, teach, you know, you can watch out for english streaming live and i get 2 channels. plus thousands of off programs. award winning documentaries, and support the subscriber. you choose dot com forward slash al

jazeera english. ah no madison and tell her the top stories and dizziness to trains have collided in southern pakistan's, send province killing more than 30 people. according to local police, it appears and intercity passenger trains derailed and was hit by an oncoming express service. and all hider has more from slumber, but this particular actually took place at about 3 45 am august on standard time when one of their trains that road heading north about 500 kilometers .
