hey there it's tuesday june tenth five pm in washington d.c. i'm lindsey france you're watching our team america. we begin with another school shooting here in the u.s. that left one student dead and one teacher injured shots were fired this morning at reynolds high school in tragic tale oregon just outside portland police say a gunman walked into the school and fatally shot a student a teacher was also injured and was treated at the scene the suspect was found dead a short time later it's not clear if he was killed by police or if he took his own life the child joe police chief confirmed the gunman was armed with a rifle during the evacuation another gun was found on someone at the school but the chief said it doesn't seem to be connected at this point to the crime students say they were told over the intercom there was a lockdown and to quietly go to their classrooms police were able to evacuate the students and reunite them with their nervous parents the shooting happened on the next the last day of classes before summer break the school is one of organs

largest not largest public high schools with more than twenty eight hundred students. the second largest city in iraq is now mostly in the hands of fighters with isis the islamic state of iraq and syria a group that share similar goals to al qaeda iraqi army soldiers have had abandoned their weapons and fled the city of miles will a sunni militant overran the entire western bank of the city according to government officials militants freed hundreds of prisoners cvs to police stations banks government buildings weapons and the muzzle airport iraq's prime minister nouri al maliki asked parliament to declare a state of emergency the five for model was a heavy defeat in baghdad's battle against isis which has tried to seize territory in iraq and neighboring syria with some success earlier this year the group captured another iraqi city fallujah in the west of the country and government forces have been unable to take it back after months of fighting the model is

larger making it a significantly bigger prize the city and its surrounding province are a major export route for iraqi oil and a gateway to syria for more on this i was joined earlier by retired u.s. marine brigadier general david reste he's vice president of the strategy and planning division at the potomac institute asked him what happened with iraqi forces abandoning their post when muzzle was overtaken. i think what we're seeing right now is a sniff and of the congress discovering one aspect of the iraqi forces i wouldn't the i wouldn't state that that's all iraqi forces. it's part of it and that small part is disconcerting to say that say the least we would like to see them up obviously operate in a higher fashion they don't have to be as good as our forces in the us but they have to be good enough to defeat their enemies there and they have to work through this as a centralized force operating through all of iraq and that's within the shia the

sunni and the kurdish areas tell us a bit about this isis insurgent group got a lot of power how they gained enough power to take over the second largest city in iraq what did they want at the end of the day. i think what they want at this point in time is is a few things and first of all how they got their power they got their power i think because the citizens of iraq are disconcerted with the support they're down in from the central government and that's the president right now that's why it's gained so much traction in the sunni areas because maliki is perceived by the sunni as a shia backed by tyrant so there's a natural tendency that the sunni's are going to go against that especially as maliki in the eyes of the sudanese has a as they have has disenfranchised the sunni's in anbar now what's happened i believe is what happened then they've gained strength as you just ask and said in

the sunni areas that has spilled over now that they are making gains in more than modest gains in the kurdish area and if they gain a foothold in mosul they can continue up north and it'll be very interesting to see how the kurds address this well as you mentioned president nouri al maliki is in a very precarious situation what can this new government do in the face of an insurgency that is gaining so much strength right now in this state of emergency that's been called to the i i would offer that what the president needs to do at this point in time is a he needs to politically bring everybody into the tent he needs to listen to the concerns of the iraqi people like any president and any country does and he's got to answer those needs he can favor one side over the other and i don't want to minimize the impact of oil production that this has there have been recent attacks on me in northern line out of mosul fifty four attacks i believe in the last few

months and it shuts down the production these insurgents know exactly what they're doing they're not just going after the ideology at this point and they're going after the economics of iraq. wow should the u.s. move forward and supporting iraq i believe our foreign policy at this point in time obviously we have to support a freely elected government but we have to be careful to emphasize to the president over there or present in any country that there is a way to address all the citizens of the nation and not play sides against each other once again i've been in touch with some sunni friends and they feel as though they've been ostracized and almost put on the horns of a dilemma that if they're not being supported out of baghdad their only alternative is to go with the islamic state and that's exactly what happened with al qaida in the early days after the attack in two thousand and three so we're seeing history repeat itself here i believe. you based on your experience on the ground in iraq in

theater what could some elements be at play here that the west. may not fully understand as far as your typical layman your typical t.v. viewer hearing a story like this what are some of the issues at play here that we just wouldn't see in our society that they're having to deal with in iraq. i think the best way you could categorize that is to equate it to a gang mentality in one of our big cities here in the us and the complexity of how that interacts with gangs competing against themselves gangs competing with law enforcement gangs involved in the economic fabric of a city and whether that's a drug or a rug or any other thing that that they're doing at the time the complexity that exists in iraq or iran or or any other country but especially in the middle east i would offer is never going to be fully understood by the american people there are many people who say you know we get it we understand that no we don't we don't get

it because we don't see the world through their lands and we don't have to stay in that neighborhood several times i heard shaikh say to me you get to go home we don't so they have to stay there and that's a different position to be and when you look at your long term investment who you side with how you cut deals who you vote for all things like that yet at the end of the day i'm sure he's keeping your family safe all right retire the right there is hired a u.s. marine to get there general david reith and of course the vice president of strategy and planning at the potomac institute thank you very much for joining me you're welcome thank you very much. calls by ukraine's newly elected president petro poroshenko to stop the military offensive in the country's restive east appears not to have taken effect as heavy artillery fire has already left one village in ruins and local militia refused to stand down artist paula slayer reports from one of their training camps. we are with the anti-government fighters

we're on the way to a training camp here in the city of new guns they're not telling us exactly where this camp is because of security reasons bad men how much time going to take us to get their. super. secret but we'll know when we get there. was a former officer with the ukrainian police before switching sides only a month ago he commanded a team of just twelve men today they numbered more than one hundred and are growing by the day all of them volunteers each with a code name to hide his identity how is the situation on the ground at the moment. people are very scared the city is preparing for war we're evacuating women and children from the city batmen says that ukrainian military's tactic is to attack from behind so he's had he's made sprawled out across the city were about to approach the camp badlands on steps to switch off the camera deep in the forests

it's easy to see why they've set up base here everything is camouflaged making it difficult for the ukrainian army to find them. where now at the military training camp and we're also to see them do training with knives this is training for close combat but a whole which ones comes with the marines not planning on close combat fighting the heat from the bombing with heavy artillery like slovyansk in donetsk the guys who come from just about every background to have former students who have former businessmen you have former drivers and you also have ex-military and police so you have people with a lot of military experience. but you also have some for whom this is the first time that they're picking up a knife or a gun and so the sharing of skills and experience is vital and the guys have told me to put two of these in my ears because there's going to be a hell of a noise. to be automatic with kind of

training is the most important betterman keeps trying to control over his men many still have families inside ukraine and what we constantly about them. it's not becoming a war it's already a war. most of the guys are citizens of lugansk city they're highly motivated they're between the ages of twenty and fifty five when i asked one of them whether there are enough people here to take on the ukrainian military his answer was there is an up. but how many more need to die before the queue of government itself to clear is enough is enough force the r.t. outside to guns eastern ukraine. the first commercial drone flights over land have just received approval for takeoff but don't expect them to be flying over your neighborhood anytime soon the federal aviation administration has granted permission for their use in a rather sparsely populated place with the aim of helping

a business survey its equipment in the field artie's mega lopez reports. alaska's airspace is about to get a little more crowded that's because just this week the federal aviation administration granted permission for the first ever commercial drone to fly over american soil from a small hand launch stroma before an aerial surveillance over pipelines roads and equipment in the poop kobe beef key the probe a is the largest known oil field in the u.s. the f.a.a. released a statement to r.t. about its decision everything part these surveys on alaska's north coast are another important step toward broader commercial use of unmanned aircraft the technology is quickly changing and the opportunities are growing b.p. says this commercial drone will help save time improve safety and increase reliability the unmanned aerial vehicle was created by a california company called aereo vironment the company says it was awarded a five year contract with b.p.

now the drone is called the plume eight as a nine foot wingspan and can fly for three and a half hours at a time at two hundred to four hundred feet above the ground aerial vironment recently released a press statement also to r.t. saying in part thanks to the f.a.a. as a rigorous safety focused certification process for unmanned aerial systems b.p. and aerial vironment have launched a safer better more cost effective solution for managing critical infrastructure and resources the kuwait is already being used by the military this company is the pentagon's top supplier of small drunks who are with the war in afghanistan coming to a close. major in sales. this month the f.a.a. . this summer and.

now are sergeant downing's concerned in your opinion about the. not that i see and i work a lot of other veterans also i'm a former veteran myself and if the officer of the veterans that i work with in the cases i've been in know lot of name don't even on weapons and they can know weapons by the way because they're diagnosed when they leave. for wars with post-traumatic syndrome so a lot of them say automatically are so kind of clamping down on veterans whatever the program operation vision a go we actually had

a case that the particle and security actually targets veterans coming back with a case of random rob a twenty six year old marine was just doing a facebook post that put him in a mental hospital department homeland security raided his own f.b.i. we got him out but come to find out being done anything wrong isn't even on a weapon so there's some paranoia there was an indiana sheriff by the way a couple days ago said we're in a war zone that's why we need all those grenade launchers mine resistant vehicles. the problem with that mentality is when the new paradigm is the military paradigm militarized police and the problem with that is when they look at american citizens often they see enemy combatants and the studies show that by the way it's not a healthy attitude to have and again working in military veterans i don't see that the biggest problem i have best ones is trying to get benefits at the v.a. for their illnesses and some of their injuries from the war i don't see that is doing it and some of the crazy shootings were saying they're not veterans yet about this are veterans becoming stigmatized as threatening like john rambo they return

from service overseen. sorry that was john whitehead president of the rutherford institute we seem to be having a technical glitch we'll get back to that. well for the past few days brazil's biggest city sao paulo has been in traffic chaos as subway workers went on strike demanding a hike in salaries just before the world cup kicks off thursday in a four pm match between brazil and croatia a team usa has the field monday june sixteenth in a very tough group g. match against ghana followed by favorites portugal on the twenty second and germany on the twenty six and when it comes to supporters getting to those matches fall union leaders have temporarily halted the transit strike but warned it could resume on the opening day of the soccer showcase as thousands of fans stream into the city grounds phillips's in rio de janeiro for r t

so there are real with the city's like tony copacabana beach or something besides what's to be the main lines in here but you don't because construction with just two days until the world cup if you should visit the host world cult should be a celebration for any nation particularly what is famously football obsessed has been sealed in the brazilian national team has won the world cup five times that's a record but the reality is that this will come here in brazil to the headlines for the wrong reasons is the most expensive world cup in the street cost of over eleven billion dollars not so record in a country which still struggles with poverty we've seen actions across brazil protests at events such as the creator of the fellows a rising inflation with the conditions which of secret ports where they work is killed on world cup construction sites but the feeling of general dissatisfaction is a curse throughout the country behind the subsidies there was even one showing seventy two percent to resume recently this month feeling negatively about the world cup we

haven't something which is the sentiments of the time for this moment to paris that not with the world cup emitted kicking off in two days of brazil's mountains to the twelfth of june it could be the time to show some love for this one for the last time this truly international event the world cup here in brazil this is great for those who don't see. the city of new york has agreed to pay nearly six hundred thousand dollars to settle allegations that police wrongfully arrested a group of occupy wall street protesters back in two thousand and twelve it's the largest settlement of its kind in an occupy related suit earlier i spoke with. a truck and i asked her what this settlement is all about. this isn't the biggest single occupy a related settlement in a civil lawsuit in new york city since occupy wall street kick started in september twenty seventh. like you said fourteen activists are going to be getting almost six hundred thousand dollars well to be more precise five hundred eighty three thousand

dollars for being wrongfully arrested the incident in question took place on january first twenty twelve where are police told these protesters to disperse but instead of letting them do so we boxed them in so the protesters couldn't actually leave and the police arrested them threw them into police wagons took them and held them for five. the national weather service in mount holly new jersey has issued a flash flood warning for east central delaware county in southeastern pennsylvania southwestern philadelphia county and southeast pennsylvania camden county in southern new jersey this includes the cities of gloucester city captain northwestern gloucester county and southern new jersey until eight fifteen pm at

times when they come out and talk about police brutality and being mistreated by the n.y.p.d. . cases like this show us that fighting for this is a good idea and sometimes of course that happens in favor and sometimes it doesn't and all of the protesters i mean we've seen plenty of cases including the mentor one of several women being pepper sprayed by a police officer that he's still not been settled but plenty of them have including a huge one not in new york but in oakland where an iraq war veteran scott olsen was a world war to four point five million dollars or getting his skull fractured fractured at a protest certainly the city's keep footing the bills for these cases so for these protestors what it means is they should keep writing if they want to to restore their right. all right r.t. correspondent and going to new york for us thank you. this next story might make you pause big time before you step onto an elevator monday night actually unmanned got the ride of his life has a very surveyed oh got on the elevator in president c.

a chilly as soon as he got on the door started opening and closing as a possessed the security camera camera captured the wild ride as the elevator shot up thirty one floors in fifteen seconds and then crashed into the roof at about sixty miles per hour the accident occurred in a building which only finished construction eight months ago i surveyed frantically pushed at the buttons trying to shut down the operations to no avail he was rescued by firefighters and then taken to a local hospital where it was found he had suffered leg and head injuries and investigation has been launched to determine what caused the elevator malfunction. and before we go the saving don't forget to tune in at nine pm for larry king now tonight features an expert panel gather to discuss language racism and culture in the wake of the n.f.l.'s ban of the n word from the playing field there's a part of what's to come. see the word is appropriation in the black community we've appropriated the word in order to talk toward homeys talk to our friends

oftentimes i russell said talk to our own family members right and if you look at other words and you mention a few other derogatory terms for jews and jews don't necessarily call each other that but there has been other terms that have been appropriated redneck jeff foxworthy's become a multimillionaire based off of you know you're a redneck when we used to be a very derogatory term or even the term yankee if you go back in time enough that was a derogatory term by you know british people talking about american people and then later southern americans are going to northern americans and now our best baseball team is the yankees are bad for baseball team right so that's it for you so. that is a most profitable. so tonight nine pm to catch that tonight here on our team that doesn't account for the stories we covered go to to dot com slash our team aftermath and check out our website our cat constant usa also follow me on twitter at and t. friends i'll be back here at eight pm thanks for watching. me

like me what you comedy news this is. what your comedy used to be a bare fisted no holds barred fight to the dad. through the vampire whining into the next in the corporate elite billionaire freaks well they're going. that's what you get with my new show jack that tonight. this was the washington well it's a relief. to believe. that the media and the. perceived are going to leave that to me doesn't do too much revenue in biotech our culture giant teeth on a seventy six year old american part of the studio fallout do you think he's going to create the cia do you think is what's triggering a great facilities to the world it's also the largest debtor nation to be. pretty

much that is mostly of alternatives to the saudis want to give you all the points to work for the american dream for the next they would just buy the store by this time for americans and lawmakers are forced to wake up and start talking about the real causes. are to be shows off and project images that have nothing to do with reality and that screws with people's expectations and perceptions

a negative way so when shows come along that actually reflect a modicum of the realities it can have a potentially positive in moving effect on society right now there's a very popular show on netflix called orange is the new black that takes place in a prison supporters of the show have said it does a good job of portraying some of the hardships women endure in our american penal system in a relatively accurate way which sounds like it could be a good thing but then when you. hear about how the show is shot at a prison in long island where the actual inmates are covered in feces the facade of the show reflecting reality quickly drops the way it becomes clear that the show is just another case of hollywood glossing over the grim realities our country faces. the jail where the show is shot is called riverhead correctional facility which is located very close to the posh life of the hampton from long island and riverhead is notorious for it's in you mean condition according to the a.c.l.u.

brought us to it as an poop bubbles from the floor toilets exploded rats and roaches infested kitchens black mold covers the walls and drinking and bathing water runs brown and stink of sewage what's worse is that when prisoners try to file grievances they often face retaliation one x. prisoner said prison officers cut off his heat until he agreed to abandon his grievance request forms and even now that the jail is on a hit show jail officials still haven't fixed any of these massive problems so when one wing of the prison you have lady you guys grips sound guys actors getting all dolled up in hair and makeup and in the other you with prisoners literally covered in human feces there's something seriously wrong with that picture so the a.c.l.u. is starting a new campaign called humanity is the new black has a plan the show's title to draw attention to the conditions of the jail in an

effort to get officials to make some changes they're asking people to post photos in orange and flood county officials with e-mails demanding protection of basic human rights you can check out the initiative at the end wise the dot org website i think it's a great idea because our prison system in the us is a total who covered him as that should be called out but i'm skeptical of the a.c.l.u. matadi is the new black campaign. successful because humanity in our hollywood worshipping culture seems to rarely be in style tonight let's talk about that by following you on twitter adds the rest.

will. technology innovation all the developments around russia. the future of covered. kaiser and this is the kaiser report you know do you like the big well the big spike show. i was the song go go. if you want but the facts going on are well well first of all max tell people what the vix is oh well it's the volatility index you know it's it's a contract that traders can buy.
