of the wars the us is fighting in iraq and afghanistan is being felt on home soil grades than a recent figures show a record high number of young veterans committing suicide each month got a just a can investigate what pushes so many us soldiers to take their own lives when they've taken them out. each day eighteen american veterans commit suicide in the last few years more u.s. military personnel have taken their own lives than have been killed in either iraq or afghanistan the numbers raise a question where is the battle really happening in the field or at home. or. even took him over. his mentally. and here and it happened and why post torture.

and told him he was number twenty six. when. these parents share a similar tragedy one of losing their children who had gone to war in iraq strong and healthy man and came back deeply traumatized and haunted by nightmares. thousands of american troops returning home with post-traumatic stress disorder but many refused to seek help from the government in fear it's going to show on their records and they won't be hired anywhere but even those who do seek help are often neglected i want to apply for a job. i applied for unemployment benefits. i went to the veterans administration for treatment a year after i was discharged because i was feeling suicidal and i was discharged i was refused treatment actually brian little would served in iraq came to this

charity event for homeless veterans because he too was homeless he and dozens of other young man and women here. not only do many come back from war traumatized but are often left without a roof over their head according to the u.s. national coalition on homelessness forty percent of homeless man are veterans the staggering number of those who see no other option but to kill themselves pushed the country's veterans affairs department to start a suicide prevention hotline they claim they've talked to more than ten thousand veterans out of killing themselves iraq and afghan veterans fuel the epidemic and i share your sadness over killing their you know. especially so often hear from callers they see no meaning behind the many killings they witnessed any war can be traumatizing for soldiers but the seuss side rate among vets in the u.s.

is now the highest seems the vietnam war there was no similar surge after world war two civilians questioning the motive of the war is now reflected among many young american vance whose own down to drive them even closer to the brink looking at the plight of veterans in the us one can't help asking what is the cost of war is it the one point eight trillion dollars the u.s. spent in iraq and afghanistan last year or is it the shattered lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers who come back home to find out their battle for survival has just begun going to check on our take clinton maryland. journalists riots in the united states are in question after an aussie news team spent around first you see you hours in jail for trying to film a rally the peaceful protest against the military academy dubbed the school of the facts and finished when offices handcuffed the crew covering the event and marched them to a police. yes you

may think. of these. she was. while we were filming we were asked to step aside we were asked to step onto the sidewalk which we did this is documented in the footage that we shot we turned our backs and all of a sudden we were being arrested we were not told what we were being charged with we were taken to the county jail it took about four hours for us to be told what we were being charged with and we were processed through the system and we actually spent thirty two hours in the county jail there in georgia even though we were clearly credentialed press were accredited with the united states congress we presented our press credentials and they still arrested as we were charged just as all the either activists were all of us were found guilty of every single charge

brought against us there was no distinction made between the press and between the you know the activists that were there and the bystanders the innocent bystanders who really when we felt as journalists that we didn't have protection of freedom of the press we didn't have the first amendment rights and it's interesting that this happened outside of the school of the americas where they're training soldiers and police to do these kind of actions against populations of latin america and much of the same repression rescinding on the streets of the united states the cases and over again we did it appear before a judge in many ways it was the most undemocratic i would say process as you know sort of miscarriage of justice i mean a lot of us weren't even permitted to speak we weren't even with minutes here what the police officers were saying against as or permitted to respond it was sort of the judge chose to not only you know press charges against us and decide even though it was an arraignment but also sent. that and them were also facing state

charges for unlawful assembly which as journalists we you know obviously are not part of an unlawful assembly where they're covering it and under our first amendment right. now the american constitution as fast amendment guarantees free speech but human rights activist david lindorff says the u.s. is now turning into a police state where it's the past and bearing the brunt who decides whether you can exercise will run. there isn't it more aggressive attitude towards interfering with their free it rated the free press as your reporters fanned out down in georgia in the u.s. we're moving slowly toward glacially maybe sometimes faster towards more of a police state where the police run kind of rampant and nobody controls them they're able to charge your or your journalists as demonstrators which is ludicrous that will intimidate you presumably from sending them to other events because you know want to keep paying these fines and things the only way to do to deal with

this is to fight them in the court i think you're going to see more and more of it the attitude that the police have is that they can do whatever they want and their first amendment is really at their. you know at their whim not something that we are guaranteed you're the only ones who are taking any in the showing the guts to go and cover these things and now when you get confronted with it you should defend yourself and fight the police on it. well human rights activists david lindorff. won't sing this case we'll bring you all the latest developments. still ahead they found. out from the public stage how college is a struggling to say. consigned to history is coming up later this hour. like this vessel said here abandoned waiting for the sea water to return to the deserts of kazakstan with international rehabilitation efforts back in the arrowfield proves it may once again return to i'm one of the friends to join me in

countries fired artillery shells across that is beautiful maritime border the two sides blame each other for the international attack with the north claiming the sound opened fire first war violating maritime law during a military drills publish a call from a diversity talking about t. the international community is prejudiced against the north and is ready to blame it for everything little evidence. even if we take the case of previous case of china. saw the conclusion that it was. blame blame or more than. mark not so much evidences just the un statement on this matter they don't mention exactly north korea but still i think eighty percent of articles made you still blaming north korea for this sort of coming up later on r.t.
