a welcoming, being back with their fans at large concerts, the kind of gatherings that haven't been possible during the pandemic. especially colleges which pay for big names to come and entertain them at this time of year. i'm doing a lot of shows easier on colleges. this is kind of funny or my career is 22 years, but these days i'm talking to myself like, wow, dude, you are very popular. aha. they love you. that may be the case, but sized concerts have drawn criticism for their excessive use of water being sprayed onto the crowds from large water cannon, especially at a time when many parts of the country are suffering from drought. and now he's also being criticized by health officials saying that wet masks pose a health risk making it easier to spread germs just as the country finally seems to be overcoming the only kron variant. that, of course, is

a reason to celebrate this summer and sigh and its fans would like to be partying. but his use of water, it seems, landing him in hot water. ah, no, again, i'm fully battle in doha. with the headlines on al jazeera, the leaders of germany, france, and italy have travelled to ukraine's capital key for the 1st time since the russian invasion. they're expected to discuss a wide range of issues with president vitamins lensky, including more assistance for ukraine, and it's candidacy for you membership. and he says it didn't do up in and i'm bringing a message of european unity addressed to craniums of support support for both the present and the future. because the weeks ahead we know will be very difficult. al jazeera is chance. stratford has more from keith. i think is important to mention the fact that especially germany and france have come under criticism by ukraine

ah. hi, anthony. ok. you're watching the stream. i want to start this episode by introducing you to dion greene. he's the c l and founder of a foundation called the fudge foundation. be on thank you so much for being part of the stream to guy. can you tell us what the acronym fudge stands for? pace will happen the 1st password, flourishing on a distress given incursion. it but it's my father's last name. his name was derrick was in my organization was created august 4th 2019. when me my father, my sister. no husband was hanging out in a part of the district here in dayton, ohio, just enjoying a good night. and i'm, a shooter decided to walk down the side of the sidewalk and killed my father right beside me. his sister in front of me and 7 other people just hours after the el paso shooting. so every since that night i have found the purpose because i still

don't understand how the law died that night and it's hard. so you know, honor was action. i keep all their names alive, but also pfeiffer, families, all over the country because i know each day is different. some days are up and some days we're down to you on what's remarkable about the work you do is that you don't just do it for lag. you are now you travel around the united states. just looking at here data and strong writing strong fudge foundation. tell us what you're doing here. you know, i was in buffalo been weeks after that. this happening. you bought a and it was heard of my heart, you know, because in texas i know that these babies will be enjoying a summer be the and it's wonderful. but now the parents don't know what's next,

you know, with them having a summer planned out to not know unless next in the future. so you know, i just want to get there and i still don't understand that when i always speak to the community in to families, i don't understand why god takes a broken heart like mine to help other broken hearts. but i just quit asking and just started, you know, share what i meant to because we all lean on each other. you know, this is a network that we did not to be a part of. it just happened. so we have to wait on each other when we're down and now, and you know, in these moments what happens, especially rating, you know, that whole month of may, i was in day one all over again because it was reach on the timing to me understanding and understanding and, you know, have a home my father beside me and watch him die. it's a vision that i never get out of my head ever. and i just never understood why he was a d r lee. she was there with your father and last moment. at 1st in the beginning my journey, i did not understand that, but as i started to move forward, my father,

what a parent will say to adopt a child. so my father got to leave this earth, know that his son was still alive. so you know, it's only right that i step in whatever path for purpose that is may for me to be able to help and inspire and offer hope to those in this country. we're a day will resume that tomorrow, doesn't matter. the on thank you so much for being part of the show. a copy easy. we are asking dion can america and it's mass shooting epidemic. it is a huge question. we're not going to ask you to do that by yourself. like and to bringing chris brown. chris is part of a, an organization co brady, which is one of the oldest anti gun violence organizations in the united states have been campaigning for decade after decade. and also slower sent than tandem. who is a health and digital journalist at p. b. s. news aller. ladies. thank you so much for being part of this program or so you audience a part of the show as well. you know the drill on youtube right here,

your comments, your questions, and you can have this conversation can america and it's mass sheeting epidemic. i can tell you from personal experience that the level of grief a machine brings to the community can tear apart families and make survivors and the family members of those we lost and people just in the periphery experience, additional anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and other, other problems i'm hoping that as lawmakers look at this issue, they will try to address that pain list. said chris. rachel survived a mass shooting in maryland. that was back in 2018. are you feeling that there's something different now? the politicians are doing something different now that they were doing in 2018. when rachel survived the my shooting in 2019. when dion survived a mass shooting

a says something different. right now. there is something different right now and i have to say, especially to dion, it's so painful to hear from him and any survivor, a pains me because let's just be clear. we have americans across this country who are not experiencing at violence or victim hood that exists one day out of the year, lost his father that happens for the rest of his life every day. and that is what we are conscripting way too many americans to across this country. would i like a better framework for change than what we have? yes, i would so many things that i would like to be in here and that's all weapons ban for one. but we have 10 republican senators who are signing off on this

framework and i lead brady a brady accomplish the impossible nearly 30 years ago today. and that is the framework for a background check system that every day stops the sale over $600.00 firearms to individuals. who are prohibited purchasers, whatever i can do as a leader of brady to strengthen that system. if it takes a step or a leap, i will endorse that. and this is a step. it's not a league, but for our movement, i will say it is a leap, and i will take credit for a leap. if we get 10 republican signing off on this, it's a leap and it may not be that dion father does not die in a horrific. now shooting. but maybe it is. and let's look at that and understand it,

but other people would be alive if this package path is and they will never, never give us credit for it. but that's the way the world works and i'll stand for them. and for an america that is safer, safer tomorrow than it is to day that's worth fighting for. no, let's have a little look at that packet. i was astounded when i realized that there were as many as 10 republicans who also involved in his bypass some bill. so this was, i felt was in direct connection to, to mass shootings that came one after another there many every day unfortunately. but these 2 big ones that made international headlines, we put together some of the thoughts that senators was sharing who, by pots in senators just a day ago. and this is what they was saying in public. laura, i do see this as a break through the bill in of itself is going to save thousands of lives. i have

no doubt about this bill, even if we never pass another anti gun violence bill is going to make an enormous difference. i think if this framework becomes the actual piece of legislation, it's a step forward. step forward on a bipartisan basis. for myself, i'm comfortable with the farm work, and if the legislation ends up reflecting what the framework indicate, i'll be supportive though you think reporting on gum violence for some time getting pony in the public as well. what's the difference between the way that politicians speak and the way the public feels about compliance? it's a great question and one that you know, we have been really digging into in recent years, a growing majority of americans have told us they want to see more done on gun control. and for the 1st time in a long time, it looks like congress may be ready to take action. but it's, you know,

right now it's too soon to know for sure. what we do know is that people have gotten increasingly tie, aired of gun violence in this country over the course of the last decade. you know, looking at our latest poll from the pdf who's our in pure and marriage, 59 percent of us adults said it was more important to them to control gun violence than to protect gun rights. and that's up 10 percentage points from, you know, march 2013 in the month, shortly after the massacre at sandy hook elementary. you know, at the same time we've seen a decline among people who instead say protecting done right, is more important currently to them than, than controlling and violence. that's about a 3rd of americans said they feel that way. but at the same time, you know, with got this bipartisan framework emerging on capital hill. and here to be clear, it's not a bill, it's been outline. but you know, it's signals that congress may be ready to do something, you know, for the 1st time in decades and having meaningful reform, t on pleasant, you know,

you know, i still have to hold them accountable because, you know, every time something like this, happiness is do something, do something, until it happens again. i don't stop, i keep by ignition, never die down there. there's a change. you know, if we, if the, if this quieter for the next 23 months, we won't hear too much about it. but then if it happens is back on the forefront of that, where for survivors in increase it'll, it'll die with us. we stay, continue trying to change it and change it. so, you know, i thank them for doing what they do, but i still have to see actions and to be able to move for, you know, that's one small step. so we still got a lot of work to do. and you know, i'm so thankful for chris because you know, on what action i can do nothing. so i found a lawsuit against ammunition company. so, you know, just want to step out of time just trying to explain a little bit because how to, how do you do that and how are they taking that, how,

how an ammunition company responsible for gum violence. you know, that's that old gun lobby organization. that gun, you know, be saying is that guns don't commit crimes. people commit crimes. well, i don't know if i want to go to in depth or if i can, because i don't know if my lawyers want me to speak. i, i yes, just yeah. so it's a hard question for, for victims. like dion to answer, what i will say is, 1st of all, it takes a lot of courage for people like dion and let's just internalize this. he lost his father. he's a grieving victim, and i stood next to him in front of the supreme court, which is now arguing and soon to potentially release a decision if not next week than the week after that could overturn the permitting systems for who gets to carry a gun in public across the country,

dion stood with me in front of the c supreme court. he was getting ready to speak. and we were turning around and we had someone who had a weapon with him right in front of us within the n r a flag. and this is the kind of thing that people like the on in american life today are subject to and i think all of us in america. oh people i d on a huge debt of gratitude. he is grieving, he lost his father. this is horrible and still he is standing up and to answer your broader question about what this means. look, we have not been able to move forward with gun violence prevention legislation in small, medium, or big steps out of the united states senate in congress for nearly 30 years. just the idea that we could get something through is really important. we will not

accept piecemeal change for our movement for people like d on it needs to be a major step. i hope we will get that. the framework is very exciting for us. but the devil is in the details. you know, just, i'm just touching back to the buffalo and when i was there and his hand how he came in there it remind me of my suit or just watching or, you know, a lot of people tend to only hear what they want to hear. i always say, dina was you there? yes, i was there not only a survivor, but i was a victim as well. and it just to see in how they're coming through with the body armor. susan. he walked in there and i just remember him just coming down to the, to the street and not running enough and i just started shooting back and forth. and i mean, it was a barrage of bullets so quickly in 30 seconds, a sound like before for july, but all i was focused on was my dad to get up to get up there,

get this and not be it. i didn't know this won't be the last time i was going to be able to hug my dad, hold him a, let him know that i love them. and i just don't want to buy to experience that type of feeling. the pain is real and as i speak to, when i'm in the senator is pop me down by chris and they don't experience this in their community. they don't, they don't experience again by this. i lose a friend here and there that, that's and i thought i worked with families all over and they don't know what the next life so all i can do is just help them, just guide them and just be the sport and just let them know that you are not alone and much as our pay much, much as it hurt us. our pain is what changes the law, what changes the country, people have to see this. they have to see that were heard and whether it's one we 2 weeks, 5 years, 10 years, it hurts. it never gets easy. it just, we get bearable. but when we keep sandy's saying, cost of thing happening, happening, we're go right back in the day, one of our, of our,

of our event. so now we're down. so now that's when survivors in a network that we didn't have to be in, will call around. i will call and check what all my student survivors and we all lift each other up. how you doing this? this is a network, but this is, well, let me just ask you, laura about an testimony that gun survivors gave last week on june the 8th, as a little girl called mia. and we have seen this happen multiple times before. we've seen moms and brothers and sisters and arts and nieces or talk about their loved ones. this little girl had to hide in blunt. this is what she told the hearing last week. door between our high school. and he with shiny cheering, told when she juggling the head and then he shaw.

so the white board boiler went to the best. he shaw my nosey. about to say go learn the only the bible will survival my that's what the on says i when. how can you imagine being that little, that little might and covering herself in blood so you don't get murdered? i on youtube. i mean we've got some cynicism on you chip here because they know america. it says the gun lobby always puts money over human life. american culture supports this. no, i'm not asking you to agree. i'm just asking you for your instant feedback to what the audience is thinking right now. go ahead. i mean it's, it's, it's what we know right now is that, i mean, you know,

that the country is tired of hurting. i mean, we stayed in poll after poll the, the fact that we have trends about asking people how they feel after these, these terrible tragedies that by all accounts, everyone agrees more should be done. and it's, it's, it's really looking at what's actually going to come together the time and, and, you know, the degree to which to be sure. i, sorry, i let me just say ok. so it's horrific enough to think about a child in a classroom having to play dead and cover themselves in blood of a classmate. but let me tell you what makes me want to cry as it's not unique. so one of my good friends was the teacher of holocaust studies at marjorie stoneman.

douglas high school. she i lost 2 students in her classroom and another child in that classroom. i know because she is an activist with brady covered herself with blood in that classroom to pretend that she was dead. and that is america, and that is so maddening. i am so angry about it. if, if the, the, the, the story of that 10 year old were unique, it would be horrible enough because she will live with that. just like a layer is eastman. as that child from parkwood lives with that every day. but the idea that we have not fix this now, and that we have an opportunity to, there's nothing here that i think should be controversial. that upsets me as a mom. it upsets me as an american. it's ups at sexy for dion and for our

country. and i hope we can fix it. so again, on your think on unusual instinct, excuse me, guess i, i'm going to bring in the conversation because this is also the conversation that is happening in america right now. the only thing needed is removing no guns zones and allow good people with guns to protect themselves and of this, i know, guess if all of heard of this good people with guns will stop bad people with guns? earlier we spoke to diana, who was a gun owner. she had guns in her family, and yet she still suffered well under let diana tell her own story. this is what you told us, elia. i come from a gun owning family and it still happened to us. no one is immune to gun violence and the idea that owning a gun will always keep you and your family safe really isn't surrealist stick. you know, we have a huge flood of guns getting into the wrong hands every day because there aren't

enough laws are consistent laws across the country to help curtail that mismanagement of public safety. and i know some people think that there are background checks takes away their freedom or when they find themselves in the same boat. my family was in with no options. police couldn't do anything. that's where you lose your freedom. so, you know, extended background checks will really help because the point of sale is so important to keeping guns out of the wrong hands. background check seems really straightforward and easy. lower thought sky. absolutely, and it's something that most americans say they approve they, they want, they want to vote for a candidate for congress who has been supportive these of these measures, you know, 8 out of 10 americans. are voters, excuse me. you know, in our last poll said that they support background checks for gun purchases and you know, and other 86 percent so that they support that funding for mental health screenings and treatment and, and 3 quarters nearly 3 quarters that they support national red flag laws teen or

temporary, temporarily remove access to guns from people who know who appear to pose a danger to themselves or others. you know, these are, these are attitudes that we heard and you know, 2019, after again, after el paso, these are, these are longstanding, you know, opinions that the public has and it's a matter of, you know, is congress on the same page? you know, so this is, these are the diane is not a little support for them. so i'm so tired of hearing good guys with a gun. so you know what? all the laws were. stand your ground from atlas carried on the teachers. they always bring that up when i'm speaking in the state house with somebody had a gun and they could say your life that night. ok, so now this person say is my life. but then when the responding officers come, they don't know this person is, then i start to shoot them. i is it, we're, we're just making a lot of that. we're just, we taking everything into our own actions. we are judge and execution, and that's the part i don't understand. so if we're doing that,

why do we even have police officers? if we're, if we're about to start policing ourselves, i don't understand that in this world, like it's just very, very daunting. that they always say the good god with the gun, but it used to be the one that don't have no record that does the match. shootings . i'm just looking at it or. oh, it does. i mean, just wanted to add that, you know, 38 percent of americans say they want to allow school teachers to carry guns where, you know, 51 percent a majority of the people we heard from in our last poll. so they definitely do not want a member of congress or candidate for congress to push for that kind of legislation . the public does not appear to support that at this time. chris. yeah, i'm sorry. i would just say also the idea of the miss and the lie that was invented by wayne lapierre because it didn't exist before sandy hook a decade ago. nearly that a good guy with

a gun is all that it takes to stop a bad guy with a gun, i think was set to rest in you've all day. we had 19 law enforcement officers all with guns and we had a single perpetrator. none of him could take out the bad guy with a gun. the reality is that lie existed the moment it was uttered. and it was uttered by the way, with wayne la pierre, on a yacht in the mediterranean, where he fled, because he was afraid that he would be shot by the rest of america. that's just true. and we've been living with the consequences of that lie. we all know if that myth were true, and if it just means more guns, stop, gun violence. we have more guns than people in america. we would be the safest country on earth. and dion father would still be alive. it's just false and we are

dying of it this and so i'm done with that myth and i hope all of america is we're done with that in this framework that we're looking at as wants data was right harvested deal going. thank you so much for showing your thoughts about is this time for america to end it's mass shooting? ebbed epidemic cannot be possible. thank you so much for your thoughts and, and comments here on the line that we had with david sweeney, my heart goes out to you all from scotland. we had one mass shooting many years ago . the law school change and there's never been one since change is needed to protect these kids. and so watching, i see you next time. ah, when the news break, your came through the building trying to see if there's anybody else trapped inside

. when people need to be heard and the story town, i feel like i wasn't really awake until i went to morocco. it definitely changed my life in a good way with exclusive interviews and in depth report. so not hardly him, but he left here because al jazeera has teens on the ground to bring you more award winning documentaries and live news. the latest news as it breaks down estimated 20000 lead gold miners. just the younger mom, the reservation with detailed coverage and the government says it's taking action, but doctors are desperate thing lives are being put in danger from around the world . presidents the landscape says the coming days will be crucial for ukraine with the expected renew defensive in the east. we understand the differences and similarities of culture across the world. sentimental handley take,

it will pay you the news and current affairs that matter to you. on the deserted streets of bo gotta, they've become familiar figures couriers on bicycles, delivering food, or medicine to lockdown colombians. most of them here are venezuelan migrants during my gomez. the mother of 4 says, contagion is always on our mind. none of them receive health insurance for their work and exposing themselves and very few seem to have it yet. there may be a bright side people who look down on them as own skilled migrants. now say they're essential to control the virus. i received messages on the apps saying that we are heroes. i was a nurse back cool, which i am doing is not all that different from my passion, helping others. ah .
