meant to give out to every adult citizen two thousand five hundred swiss francs approximately two thousand eight hundred dollars per month the motivation for the project is that many in switzerland fear that the financial crisis has caused wealth inequality to skyrocket you know i'm not an expert at swiss culture so maybe people there are different but if they gave out thousands of free dollars per month anywhere i've lived you would see the majority of people going into early retirement and not working at all and sort of like how they tell people not to feed the bears at parks because then the bears lose their instincts and will to hunt because getting a sandwich thrown at them is a lot easier i mean why go through the effort of auditing when the sandwich just magically appears handouts often creates law according to reuters some people are proposing a much better law for switzerland limiting executive pay to being twelve times higher than that of the lowest paid employee although this plan is making headlines it seems like a much better idea because it doesn't to motivate people to be productive and yet it would create almost utopia like levels of wealth inequality also if the bosses salary is tied to the employees that

a lot of people be getting raises very soon this one to twelve pay ratio is much better than the free swiss francs and it gets my seal of approval but that's just my opinion. but with the economic downturn in the final month they. sang i and the rest live saying meet me every week. mission. critical three times fortune. to make amends three. three. three.

golds three blown video for your media projects free radio down to r.t. dot com. this is cumberland county in south kentucky deep in the american countryside far from the sprawl of life. a place where alcohol is neither sold not consumed in the bible reigned supreme. in a village of eight hundred people there are forty churches. it is a pious closed community get weapons are a part of every day life here for protection and so hunting. exposed from childhood it is not unusual for you to own your first gun in kinda got.

how many people own guns in this village more probably do than go outside. of these things are you. saying that in the absence of the pena here i'll go and not everybody in the county is wild the way of life here yeah everybody wants around here and they much else to fish i would say you know a very hard majority of the country people own guns my grandson started her when he was probably three or four years out so he just and i got one and hans i want to fish is sell so when you go to kindergarten you get your first gun. yes that's what they want the family of a southern kentucky two year old girl shot and killed in her home says it was all an accident he received the rifle specially made for children as a gift last year. cumberland county hit the front pages of news world wide in may and five year old christina shot his two year old sister dead with a gun he received as a gift for his fifth birthday

a real gun with real bullets the manufacturer has openly advertised for children as . rifle. i'm. sure many a cricket rifle i wish i had written the cricket is the perfect way to get beyond a small framed shooters started right with the safety promoting design it's soft shooting affordable and accurate. while the mother was in the kitchen christian picked up his gun and unaware that it was still loaded he accidentally shot his sister in the chest. caroline spock's was rushed to hospital but tragically she died soon after. i could hardly understand my daughter because she was so excited and crying and hysterical and said you know you know it's easier been shot and i just cannot my heart just sank and as soon as i got in the car got in the back seat and i couldn't breathe i just i guess it was

anxiety and i was so so scared that you know she this she was gone that i didn't know what to do i remember i rolled the window down to try to breathe because i could hardly take a breath. we went to the hospital and i just walked up to the nurses one said i was their grandmother can i please go back and see her and i don't usually they don't let you do things like that but they let me and i went back there and you know she was already you know in a coma. for the help of the brain swelling and. and so she looked she looked perfect i held her hand and. talked to her but couldn't hear me. this is the grandmother of another child zaria go by. both families live in the same area. as daria was shot in the forehead also by another child. and what did the doctor tell you that moment that she was in critical condition

that she may not make it that you know the bullet was lodged and they had shed a lot of brain swelling and that you know they didn't know most likely it would not be good. to compare myself and. louisville kentucky is the closest major city to cumberland county. this is where caroline's boxes ambulance was headed when she passed away. there's the emergency room and trenton and then of course all the adult. down this way and they will stop right at the door so close are tolerant to resell as is a board member of the co's at children's hospital in louisville. every day the hospital is confronted with the downside of mask on possession in the state of kentucky. how many children

a year coming to us hospitals to check every single year in the united states fifteen thousand children come into hospital with the young daughters let's start with fifteen thousand children and if you build in the united states with adults it's thirty two thousand people are killed with a gun every single year in the united states mazing miles incredible and all preventable what kind of shots once you get in the hospital. because we are a level one trauma center we get the most critical gunshot wounds of all gunshot wounds that happen in the state of kentucky and when we talk about this picture of a child's picture was shot in the middle of the area all the tendons are of balls within the hand area the bomb itself sits away from the bone so order to reattach to this and make the wound clean again this child would have to be pinned

with metal pins if the child could even be saved at that point in time work would be to base we work with us on a daily basis on a daily basis in this hospital to reason our colleagues witness the dark side to the massive possession of weapons in their state. two reason six tree me critical of the ease with which weapons it dealt with here she's angry that manufacturers use children as a target audience. they're still learning how to tell time they're still learning how to cut with scissors it's more than strange but when they market guns to children they make them in pastel blue and pretty barbie pink like to think barbie dolls they make them with swirls and then they call them cute little names like cricket fan chipmunks just as though if you owned a gun you would belong to a disney club. this is the would family for them shooting is an activity for the whole family including the younger children.

one of the six i went home to the yanks so. i missed it here so. this isn't the first shot every shot with. you know this in holland would be like very illegal. well in kentucky in the united states it's just part of the way we operate and this is the local shooting range. they should trust me with this guy trust it well look at. this give it a go to. the free possession of alms is in trying to in the u.s. constitution and his inseparable from countryside life here. looking for ways to share with davis for whatever life to meet you yes are going to

go to from the netherlands from where the netherlands the netherlands yes. you have lots of guns we do have lots of amenities. typically in stock we've got some work going fifteen hundred two thousand one. it goes up and down but fifteen hundred a small number for us how many do you sell here oh gosh i'd have to look at the numbers but you're probably looking at seven date that house and. the like that one right there that's definitely pointed towards a lady a lady would buy that farm and that would be her a r fifteen we're husband might on that one right there or something one of their plastic is like a real good old most definitely yes i know it looks like a toy gun violence there in the glass like this imelda well that is just the furniture meaning those are just the excess arrays that you put on

a plain black gun like at to make it to doll it up like that and how much is like a how much is a gun like that the dressed up like that one is i have a look at the price tag it is probably about four hundred dollars with a scope there's another paint gun mess. for the ladies we carry a huge stock a hand guns everything you've got from target gonna stay a little bitty angle gone self-defense guns target guns you know we don't have this in evidence it's like we don't have weapons store so for us this is not really yes what we all do to protect ourselves nothing. show would davis has weapons of all shapes and sizes from guns to semiautomatic and of kools guns made especially for children. with the. sometimes they'll have a shorter stock to make it easier for their length of pull because their arms are shorter most of the time they'll be lighter because they can't hold up as much

here's a very good example i want to even have them in colors like a korean of course pink for the young girls camel for the future honner this children's gun is marketed as my first rifle it is the same gun that killed caroline spock's yet the state of kentucky support the sale of it. i could lay this gun right here loaded and i could come back in ten years and i'll guarantee you if nobody picks up that gun it will not hurt anybody. so you know the gun is simply a tool or a coal oil so you say guns don't kill people guns do not kill people people kill people with five year olds also don't kill people but they get killed look skateboards are you going to outlaw skateboards are you going to confiscate pogo sticks everything require supervision.

so jamie you're going to go already yeah i hope don't hunger good to see that. i do it you don't do it yeah our boys are you know i was. the woods are a typical kentucky family father jamie's a farmer he has eight hundred dairy cows there's a mill to twenty four hours a day the woods are hard work it's enough good food especially meat. and there's something else they love too. i doing you know you get i hear you sitting gums. we also keep the governor house yes going to see the. gun came in these are all over yet and this one's a twenty two and two shot. they said oh yeah this is.

what he did you have a nation also here. and it's like turkey ok shells. we have good looks better because i'm too afraid you know i've got to see your house was the five you know peace in my face was like yeah which is a safe why is that what we're. going here. do you trust your children with those weapons you know i mean it's not you know here's a gun go out and it's a town over time you know and they have to earn my trust to do those things like you the key that they they know words that today you know when i were smaller know that key was put up that keys where they didn't know where it was it was either on my key chain and you know they couldn't get in a gun cabinet this is if it is easy to do you know it's ok. to work through gaining

ground in this war just. off to dinner the children go outside to practice that savers help me in the backyard. but. the. real damage and complexity of this oil spill was not something you can grasp just by looking at dirty birds we have between four to five million people in this directly affected area of the coast and it's pretty clear why it's not being reported because b.p. can't afford to have a reported all along the gulf coast are clean they are safe and they're open for

business if b.p. is the single largest oil contributor to the pentagon the us war machine is heavily reliant upon b.p. and their oil this is a huge step backwards for the marker c. it's a step forward for oligarchy carex it is toxic is a look a lot like spraying in vietnam it was and it was not a picture that either the government or b.p. really wanted to have out there i don't want dispersants to be the agent on. this bill so. do we speak your language i mean some of the will not advance. news programs and documentaries and spanish more matters to you breaking news a little tentative angles couldn't stories. for you here.

to try to alter the spanish find out more visit. tito. thank you guys too young to own a gun. why not. i don't know we're not all prone to you know it's not right well. i not afraid of something happens with a gun accident or something. well they miss you have it's not right i think you honestly do need the positive side ever now and because you know me what is supposed to fight the process out is a large you know i mean this teaches them i'm not saying that they're going to be

better than anybody else's children when they grow up but i mean you teaches them a lot of responsibility. you know what the gun rights advocates will say you're using this threat of death of caroline sparks to get your own message across i hope they do say that because it is my methods but it is also the message of the american academy of pediatrics the american academy of pediatricians in the united states in two thousand and twelve that a policy statement stating that the only safe home in the united states is a home without a gun and i stand behind that belief. just around the corner from my caroline sparks was shot dead is one of the largest shooting grounds in the united states. is eight thousand the shooting ground is larger than eleven thousand troops will pick choose. so this is

what we call the point of give us some perspective the most of our property is all north of us and west this is nick noble owner of rock also shooting range just by the tragic incidents in the neighborhood he still see shooting is an innocent fun. i call golf with a shotgun so you're going from from whole the whole station to station and then scoring and going to the end of the day out yeah today out. in the shooting club equipped with a restaurant and hotel is a family destination because of the vast size of the cost of this to travel by car between the sixty shooting stations this particular station is a recreation of a cowboy village. so this is where the action happens this is it this is one of our many ranges but to be a good place for us to come down and maybe test out a few different types of. nick noble wants to prove that shooting doesn't have to

be dangerous. first of all we always keep guns pointed in a safe direction even when it's unloaded we assume that every firearm is a loaded until we can prove otherwise when you're handling a firearm you never have that finger on it so it's if you're even taking a picture english are always well yeah parallel with that and then and then the only time i ever put a finger on the triggers and we're actually engaged in the target and ready to shoot and then i'll actually put my finger on the trigger but any time i pick this up fingers off which are. ok to hit anything yet it because i can understand why children find a use who would give a thrill a bit of adrenaline yes i said understand that yeah is it the weiss to learn the kid how to shoot when such a tragic accident happens around the corner here there's between two and three hundred million guns the united states so you can act like they're not here and

take kids away from them and i think that's when i when i believe that it's my personal opinion that when kids become curious about what they don't know is when the accidents happen is so different than putting a child a sixteen year old child in a vehicle with no training on an interstate. this is how you feel with guns yeah i mean did you have to train. well i thought you know if she even led but she had big brain damage to make you scream even see can see now that your eye is right there and i just feel so worried that she would never be normal again or in a coma forever our batch the ball. for azhar his grandmother children and weapons should never be combined. grandma who was in the coma for two weeks with a bullet lodged in her brain.

it's a new it is obviously. the by. well it's still in the head it's too difficult to remove it. but other than that she leads the life of a new seven year old. charlie chilling out. what it chances to get a deal survive something like that well one of the million and the doctors say that the baby never seen nothing like this before so they called the miracle baby. school's sat. down with a child a high school and writes i doubt. any hit you. what it was if you hit you with a cold it's bad a searing. look at the air yes. i would have got to say you were lucky a little bit. earlier in the coffee. culture where goldhill.

because of the accident bizarre his parents lost their rights to parental care. how grandmother now has full custody. together they visit the hospital where as our it was treated. he looks crazy its. own luck as a whole what. you believe his looks to. the shield up really nice you can't even hardly tell it was their looks just like a little scrape now. they're getting squire good sense for him every day to keep the sky oh that's fantastic they've taught you well you can't even tell. i've done this for thirty years and there are children that you always remember they just stick in your head and i have my special words and she's one of the special ones

you remember and seeing are not all fabulous. absolutely fabulous and this is the recovery that you always hope for a small miracle a small miracle definitely something that you're doing so good. makes me know that what i'm here for is worthwhile. makes me know that what i do is good. the figures are truly shocking more than fifteen thousand children each year abroad hospitals across america with gunshot wounds and eight children die every day because of the consequences. in the gun from that's public television i left a couple of messages i think six or seven attempts to speak with someone from the gun lobby on successfully the secretary admits that due to the death of caroline spokes this is not a popular topic of conversation for the arms manufacturers. caroline

sparks is buried here on the outskirts of cumberland county. her brother and mother would regularly visit a gas station nearby which also serves as a convenience store in your absence you know he's been on. our list on average of a wash lost weight you know ever since men like her mom there's a bear second grandmother there with a second grandmother so you must be heard when you heard the news yes really heard about it that. i've heard about it. and so this small village is now a symbol for the gun debate throughout the united states president obama once stricter gun control but is met with resistance from the countryside even in the village of caroline sparks board taken the rights i don't like we feel they were doing. so even after the tragedy went over the directly about we still believe in

the audience that you have the children yeah yeah meet some the protect you say so so you say this gun for five six seven year olds is safe going to even though it supervision your own grandchildren you would give the great many pictures with their with maybe one day i hope to fill look back at these pictures of robert ray i'm very good. with alex and t.j. owning and shooting guns from the young ages of twelve and seven the woods will continue to consider shooting a family activity though rather than spending size days playing football they go to the shooting range. why do you like shooting so much. stress. shooting helps the roof stress you know.

and i'm sure afraid something happens a children every day and us die because of shots aren't you afraid it happens to you why not because what it would be made to shoot so. and someone else who is trying to or. when you think it's innocent when you with kids involved you think there's not a bullet in there you think it's just like you think everything's safe but it's not guns are never say. and because of that there's a family that's very sad always mr daughter and i'm very blessed that we have you with us. at some kids were never taught the difference between i am in a real gun i think that's where some of the accidents come into play i mean you were talking about the incident in cumberland county how do you know that child

wasn't thinking that that gun was just a ploy again. if you look at this infant above the infants right here is a gunshot wound close to the head in the temple area unfortunately this is one of the children did not make it we were unable to revive this child this is the gun debate through the eyes of children who simply come to pay through the eyes of children this is the through the eyes of karen sparks if we can't do it for our children for our future what is the country the same for.

technology innovation all the developments around russia. the future covered. looking at the situation right now where we have a crackdown almost on a daily basis where we have people getting arbitrarily arrested from their homes during night raids where we have children being picked off the streets where we have people attacked with tear gas inside their homes where torture is. not in itself a form of anarchy. may disagree. but i believe america is exceptional. just we. were ten.
