sergeant of the us army. trying to become an american by getting part in the. ranks and reasons differ but one thing brings them together once they disobey. every month we give you the future we help you understand how we'll get there and what tomorrow brings the best in science and technology from across russia and around the world join us acknowledging update on r g. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. china operations are rooted a. cool.

it's. just. a recap of the stories that shaped the week russia's republic of north a city of mourns and seventeen victims of thursday's a terror attack that hit its capital's busy market. and as the u.s.

marks nine years since the deadliest terror attack the world has ever seen we look at how the ground zero tragedy has led to zero tolerance towards islam by some people in american society. plus top minds gathered to discuss a formula for better peace and democracy at the global policy forum in jaroslav on the russian city which is marking its millennium year. and the pilots who became heroes courage under pressure as they manage to crash land a crippled passenger jet in a remote russian forest saving everyone on board. now it may be one of the world's most prosperous countries but life for millions in the u.s. is failing to live up to the american dream up next our heads to some impoverished suburbs where the choice for many black youths often involves violence. i was so it's a time i was once on my foot size in the very top of the first time in the

back three blows once in my liver and that's why i have a liver of a liver drawings and i had to get surgery to get the birth so i know the only way i would get three i know that my liver. was going far rago them out of it to. another duwayne larry is from bayview he was lucky he got out alive he's twenty five years old. and visible from the skyscrapers of san francisco's financial district bayview is a deadly guess that most of the young people here won't live over twenty five behind the well painted facades of the public housing projects lines dire poverty here most of the residents are african-americans they live off public handouts underhand dealings and some of crime this to seemingly peaceful atmosphere can

change at any moment. but. was. one dead in the bay view shooting not a single month goes by without fatalities rival gangs have been caught up in a senseless ongoing war for many years. the scenes were filmed by a local boy you know exchanged is going for a camera. devin melvin a sixteen year old when he was twelve he carried a gun. i think. he will going. from me robbing people and been through a lot of the same i swear so much to my neighborhood so what

a point where i'm like family i want to do right. i lost two friends with five names or rail and waggle. today devon is looking for a way out of the ghetto he doesn't want to live where getting low on senseless fighting is the lot of them and manigault from way back i can tell you that i would cry when even more when a thought before this. i'm in it i'm in for. just a few miles from here in done town san francisco a ghetto veterans trying to get support for his project against juvenile gang violence showing richards is talking to mayor gavin newsome he wants to set up a civic behavior course for the toughest members of the city's gangs at city hall but he needs a room and so girls were there to help us try to figure out but no one today warning flags set up with i think it's about the exact role oh it was so i

thought it was going right it will take me ten seconds you know the fix but the reality is gang related activity violence generally. it's baseline is the fact that people are impoverished people don't have opportunities and they gauge in activities that are not constructive or destructive that feed on themselves every rich city in this country is exact same thing that we have income inequality in this country the likes of which we've not seen since the one nine hundred twenty s. and that's the big burden being mayor and the big burden challenge living in a country that don't understand that there's more violence in the streets of this country than there are in the streets of afghanistan or baghdad but we tend to glorify what goes on there but we frankly turn a blind eye to what goes on here. that's really a ten people asked me to say but st john. shown richard six solutions he's the founder and director of the ngo brothers against guns also known as bag the mission of the thirty six year old and the half

dozen people working in the organization is to give the youth in ghettos some hope they're the only ones working to keep the kids out of prison one night of every three young african-americans in the united states ends up in prison before the age of twenty five. by works with the juvenile court it looks after young people who have broken the law and helps them make it through perrotte that will. take years to come to the rules so she had no. the need for brothers again can be seen on these walls but this poster is just one example the list of poor young african-americans who have been killed in ghettos like bayview is almost endless. by. the way.

that these kids are they are paid and they all errors like animals and this herd is here is her to see this fact as you can facts here. and it's like i gotta go. you know. some of the kids are just scared you know and i just want to finish and they just want to be a part of it. and actually have kids that they don't think they're past twenty one or twenty five. so they're going to get all they can do. better. where patted them. you now. laugh where we. leave is here to sign up for the redirection project for humans up to age twenty four this

three month course trains the neighborhoods toughest kids for joins. the class is going to be held in city hall and. monitors in your graduation so you know the reason why we do. when it that way is because you will come in in the a stretch. you'll be a damn fool to come in the city hall stretch. that's my little boy you know i'm saying he don't you know i'm saying that's why i started this program and started the other reason with my little brother. verse three of the murder of his brother tracy schoen visits his great who woke me up as my brother doc to me in a major way and. it opened a ma and it made me realize what i was doing and what i was becoming and that i was a part of the reason why these days because he was trying to look up to me pattern up me follow up to. sean richard is

also was some of the good so violence and drugs were once his world when i first seen a shooting when i was about nine years old coming home from school one day this is a school and. you know say these kids used to be right smack in the middle of. that i have a good shout and i am alive you know i had everything i wanted as a kid you know my mother and father was they but give me what they want to me and i wanted more and that's out all be you know you start off you know say. hustlin and then you start off making a few dollars and then you start of making more dollars and then you start getting more and more you get greedy woody it becomes like. something you need is like is like a drug which is now using a verb because you addicted to the money. well here. this wild world that.

show me often visits the house where he was born now his mother lives here alone. and. she was doing things that she wasn't supposed to do and behind my back and i didn't know it you know and i was very i was really hurt you know because i never wanted him to be in that you know that kind of environment or that kind of life you know and. he really herded me a lot and i put him out and i found out you know you have to go well i mean you know obviously you know anybody to get put out the way they house where they grew up and you know don't be angry about it but i mean she won the you know more so i decided i said ok final goal i mean i slept in my cough for couple days then my

auntie took me and when i graduated from high school you know i was hustlin and carrying a gun on the streets and stuff and so basically you know that that wasn't what she wanted in our household you know and i just pray and ask these kids that think twice before they pull a gun on anybody's babies think about it jane i've just heard and not heard and that guy you're hurting the brownie we're the one happy to be left the grieving go back pain just think about it for you do. god bless our kids. devon melvin works in the museum in san francisco on saturdays his girlfriend comes to pick him up devon was imprisoned by juvenile court for belonging to a gang. to where i. was. when i was really when it happened when i got out.

i don't really see this part of town so much as. used to be i don't really get around. neighborhood. there are just a few miles between whites and francisco the city visited by tourists and view but there are two completely different worlds here devon in the she can't live a peaceful life there from different neighborhood turfs enemy gangs. neighborhood.

no i. haven't seen me. as young teenager fourteen and. in my neighborhood as august before. where the video he made in his neighborhood here young people from san francisco was a given the chance to do something creative. and his friends david show them life.

back then i. had to go. to leave the office sometimes to talk to some of those who were still associated with the harbor about three hundred yards from west point his reputation as a former gangster in his new role as mediator and friend had given him protection from the violence in this area. in west point near the bad gophers there are two streets where the local youth hangout the kids in the harbor roadside meet here in the square outside the gym this is where they chat sometimes smoke are just hanging out.

there anybody right that already right problem row walk down or mark their. victim. to get him we grew up in a war always. out and i'm off obviously i grew up in the street where my best friend was my god. these brothers don't eat they go to the movies they go to other places just like all the other people do all forces in all it but when they come out the area they just odd as that's more recent time either gang bangers the drug they just why why do you everybody got to have a tag we not day so take the tag off motto is very few people like us to talk to the youngsters now it's like they are here with the hey cut off like

no telling what to do the school they go to juvenile back and floor that's why brothers like us see our race steady going down i mean if you out here do you want to live in the states you know you know if you're the around you officer standing around you. turn. to mall. for those that can make it. as they are now. basketball tournament. brothers against guns is committed to a long list of projects like the basketball tournament organized by the housing institute but perhaps the most ambitious of its projects is the redirection prog. an act which tries to change the course of the lives of those who sign up selection must be strict account and that's coming from a war zone as was all of that when the flood brothers. redirection project will

start on the fifteenth. as you seen older boys come down today and fill out the application we've got a bunch of them coming down here we don't know nobody to be popping up and they got before somebody yes. like a staffer just me. me and we are we have questions we have course we have like ten to fifteen questions that we ask are you gang related do you go team out do you got the major beef you still smoking marijuana and the last question really going to be are you willing are you ready to make a change because if you're not then we direction is not for you you say and just like most of them got called out and why the city jobs because they still smoke a week you know since still you know any day they have to take a piss test and we're told they have to take a piss test and i wasn't prepared today and when to go take a piss test it's just going back during the day one to six. minutes simulate

a total nation why do this thing it's all nations that. the redirection project is about to start classes will be held in a room in city hall and will last for three months in neutral territory far from the war zone these kids are told a little of everything i will look for a job how to get my id card or simply how to fill out forms. and they learn civic behavior in the end what they really want is to find a job. and almost typical sunday morning in the american neighborhood but here nothing is typical. kids can't come here because it would mean risking their lives. a rap singer is very committed to his community and to peace promote his latest cd

. everybody. we don't. know. j.t. promotes peace with his music the neighborhood association organizes the gang but this is nothing but a brief time out public festivals with police are a far cry from daily life in the neighborhood for the young people who live here. they have. no hope their only choice is for the future prison. films everything with this camera this footage reveals work life is really like in beijing.

so i. know. what they say. i'm always talking i'm always speaking how we need to get money. will rule. a little to what. we use and you'll. hear. here at any moment fun and games can turn into tragedy. for. tonight there's been another murder in the streets of a view a car drives by shots ring out once again a family races into the street to cry over a young man. here drive by gang shootings are common

in san francisco about fifty people are murdered every year mostly in. the snow. like klitzman. simple this is how the kids remember their dead friends and specter tony. brief from the special brigade against youth gangs tell us about. these. things they don't know why they're doing it they just remember the last shooting that they need to adventure the last killing that they need to send a message about. all right. so. i mean. just literally been held hostage or you know i mean. they live their lives but everybody knows. according to the inspectors the

presence of gangs here is evident they inspect an empty house in west point which according to what they've heard has become a new place. is almost like renewed gang newspaper yeah who their enemies are. to rock big block and kirkwood. corsi that assess we're on earlier. do you have the allies you have the home gang here west of this this actually is then you have sunnydale. it was a group way on the other side of the city who. clicked out with or ally with. the officers combed the neighborhood street by street they disagree with most people who think that the violence only stem from personal rivalries.

we have a lot of photos of these guys they're wearing rags and it looks you know if you don't know any better you think you're in south central los angeles and there were rags to one of the gang signs you got photos a guy stolen up a w. and they got their rag. they've got tattoos all over miss a big block to live for we all we got i mean at some point they take a leap from just being a neighborhood or turf people are saying hey these are neighborhoods or these are sets because they don't really want to recognize that their kids belong to a gang at the gangs are present because that brings up negative connotations and why the kids end up getting into it there's a lot of reasons a lot of these families are broken so kids are joining gangs because they want to feel like they belong to something they're looking for that sense of family that they're not getting at home. it's sad to see these really really nice views spoiled by all the shootings and killings up here. the

situation is so extreme that a senseless concrete barrier is being put up dividing the neighborhood into for the kids here crossing it can be fatal. they're at the point now where their backs are against a wall and they're like you know i want out and it's mainly the older guys the younger guys they're still kind of caught up in it but the older guys when i say older we're talking twenty three and up those guys are saying we want out we want jobs we want to do something better with our lives because this is taking us nowhere except to the cemetery. i. the city's black community has got a done ten big celebration the first san francisco bay area drops festival music's been key to the success with many of the young people in ghettos one of them is a big surprise j.t. has brought kids from his neighborhood with them from both harbor road and west

point. that you're not in oxford street legal fees right now he's going to get into. bringing the two factions together is risky as one believes shows. down. little. the singer has a tough time but he manages to keep the peace perhaps this festival will serve to give some hope to the district's hopeless youth but the ghetto and crime are always a part of rap music.

it's time for the awards the winning groups take over the stage. j. . a.t. is getting ready to appear with his boys his latest cd has also won a prize. winning again for the first place if the. three suits says. it's time for the redirection project graduation ceremony at san francisco's city whole church the teachers and brothers against guns give speeches full of hope they've given these youngsters an opportunity and there's nothing more that they

can do. one by one the graduates are given their diploma special richard this is the second try seven iron the twenty one people in last year's course still have jobs will show managed to increase the rate this year. to beat the streets where. this three. day was too much they could get was no boy would i mean we could've got more but they you know it was too much when it was enough basically enough to help us get through what we got to do and teach us about life and a lot of where they are our sixth sense. but basic sense of what's right. and it's determination in your willpower words full of optimism six months later three of these young men were in jail lost his job four months later. doing his twelve.
