british want it let them do it with the americans the big prize in a. is so ridiculous get ready america parties are roving reporter laurie hawking this is in new york where for some. little more searching. and still to come for your guests from outer space marty goes to russia's most alien visited region to meet the eye witnesses who say the truth is a lot less. and story still to come for you but first there are up to three hundred thousand child sex slaves in the u.s. according to a recent human rights report and with that figure growing all the time washington is accused of a posse and failing to protect the young sex trafficking that is going to china has more in this. u.s. state department regularly puts out reports on how horrific human trafficking is in other countries but right under the government's very nose in washington dozens of girls and boys are sold. just walks away from capitol hill where on the street

that's known as the heart for lobbyists and lawyers in washington that's why they like night this is where spores of prosecutors want to get picked up and killed when the average age thirteen are also being trafficked here to washington and seoul the f.b.i. estimates that each year more than one hundred thousand underage american girls are exploited for commercial sex in the united states but the usual trick when the children get arrested is either jail time or probation in the us prostitution laws do not exam minors from prosecution the office of juvenile justice and delinquency prevention reported one thousand and six hundred juveniles were arrested for prostitution within just one year lawyer saying the u.s. the paradox of the system is that the children are prosecuted for crimes for which they cannot legally give consent we say that this child is a victim and yet we send somewhere along the line there's something wrong with that

and we need to be taken a look at ourselves and a look at the fact that we have we have made the tension and we have made law enforcement in the criminal justice system in the juvenile justice system a default setting for what happens to these kids we want to make sure that these children are treated as victims but treating the victims and providing for their recovery requires funding fortunately there is a federal money for us victims of trafficking. and works with a nonprofit group in washington which helps the children to get their lives back providing housing and medical treatment she herself was trafficked of the age of thirteen tina says it's easier for the government to label the children as prostitutes charge them and send them to detention centers rather than fund shelters and invest in their future there's not enough housing for sex trafficked victims at our around the country there's one hundred thousand about eighty beds which includes mine that's it and us and so what they're saying is to for their safety we will arrest them and put them in jail. so the cases further states

that they don't get any services and we charged them almost all of the victims of child trafficking remember being constantly raped and abused both tame some clients and many of the young people that we serve have been incarcerated and charged as an adult under the age of sixteen and so they have this lengthy fifteen twenty thirty forty arrests both as a juvenile and as an adult for prostitution and so when they go to apply for public housing then eligible for that when they go to do certain employment that pops up in their background check these children is already scarred as it is and the nonprofit organizations that help victims of sex trafficking say by prosecuting their children by not investing in their recovery it is the government that is scoring their future i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. other way to get the latest news and feature stories from you by logging on to our web site it's all a t.v. dot com here's a quick look at the moment this is

community and a nearby town has come to a head the travelers who have been told to leave the home of decades say they won't go down without a fight. reports human dignity is being sacrificed simply to increase prices. it's an age old story traveller communities being moved on because they're not welcome where they settle dale farm is the u.k.'s largest gypsy and travel a site where one of the biggest if exceptions in british history is being planned and the councils accused of ethnic cleansing. found. travellers have been living at dale farm since the one nine hundred seventy s. the settlement started off small and the trouble began when new comers came and bought land around it then they built homes without. in the local town feelings

run high many people told us the travelers are messy and noisy driving the crime rate up and prophecy values down most refused to talk on camera saying they feared violent retribution those who did were more guarded i think that everybody should find their way in the way of rights in texas i don't believe they did the people that live around them know their past crosses go down that's the only thing i think is a problem and might be some from pounds only without mass the applause the rest of us so you know they should be treated as everybody else understand their plight but you know yes just not as you know you should be their initial crime just because it is what others say they learned the travelers bill told was scrapyard not greenbelt and the travel is a big persecuted because of their different way of life so all or more for protection of the green belt i do not think that that particular bit constitutes

this time measure in any way i agree that there are always people in every community who you know mess up things but this is common in every single community within the country it is not unique to travelers and ship sinks in and in fact dale farm is a considerably. quite peaceful case compared with many housing estates within the limits of whatever the truth battled in council voted overwhelmingly see get the travellers out and of course a lot of backs them up but it won't come cheap with litigation and bailiffs and what could be a two month long continuous operation if some threats to trouble. for its own from other organizations are not travelers will come down just to have a punch up with the with the authorities in the course really sure it could cost up to eight million pounds that figure rises to eighteen million including the police operation a staggering twenty nine million dollars

a particularly huge star in austin. britain when cuts are being made to council funding. the cost of the eviction hasn't deterred the council though and nor threats of violence from the travellers battle lines are being drawn here at dale farm the thousand strong communities where they'll fight literally if necessary because they've got nowhere else to go and battles in council will much that force with bags of cash and the conviction that the law is on their side you are emmett r.t. battled in essex. the british royal wedding is still two weeks away from now but the hype is already reached fever pitch from twitter to newspapers there's no getting away from the big day for prince william and kate middleton. is in new york where reactions are somewhat polarized with little middle ground. are you sick of the media's nonstop coverage of the royal wedding this week let's

talk about that this country ran away from england because of of royalty and kings and queens just because they're born into a stupid family if the british run it i can do it but the americans debate at the fascinating. it's so ridiculous that a life already emerged eventually this brings our thoughts for reform source things like. something like that. in my opinion really we don't need is that good for people to have god's away from serious things or is it just a distraction good because if you always think about the problems you have. or you could have in your life then you can kill yourself do you care about the royal wedding yes a care you need. not probably because we have a nice a bit of

a scone our prime minister but the way these are. takes all the seen so so you have your own big media story yes but is it good for our culture does it enrich just as a people i don't necessarily think it hurts us as a people to know what the queen or the future queen is going to wear to halt all waiting it doesn't hurt me it doesn't hurt me any anything away it doesn't come you down it doesn't tell me no it does not whether or not you want to be inundated but the media is happy fluffy news stories the bottom line is they're not going to stop with them any time soon the only real answer is to keep that remote control close at hand.
