good evening it's tuesday june tenth eight pm here in washington d.c. i'm lindsey france you're watching our team america. we begin tonight with another shooting at a school here in the u.s. that left one student dead and a teacher injured shots were fired this morning at reynolds high school in troutdale oregon just outside of portland police say a gunman armed with a rifle walked into the school and fatally shot the student and then the teacher was injured and then treated at the scene the suspect was found dead a short time later now police are saying that it's most likely the students took his own life in a school bathroom the police chief confirmed the gunman like i said was armed with a rifle now during the evacuation another gun was found on someone else at the school but the chief said it doesn't seem to be connected with the crime students say they were told over the intercom there was a lockdown and to quietly go to their classrooms but police were on the out were able to actually evacuate the students and reunite them with their nervous parents

and the shooting happened on the next to the last day of classes before the summer break and the police are not releasing the name of the gunman or of the deceased student pending the notification of their families this school is one of organs 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 abandoned their weapons and fled the city of mosul as sunni militants overran the entire western bank of the city according to government officials militants freed hundreds of prisoners seized police stations banks buildings weapons and the mosul airport iraq's prime minister nouri al maliki asked parliament to declare a state of emergency the fight for muzzle was a heavy defeat in baghdad the battle against isis which has tried to seize territory in iraq and neighboring syria with success there earlier this year the

group captured another key iraqi city for lucia in the west of the country the government forces have been able to take it back after months of fighting. mazel is larger making a significant prize the city is and its surrounding province are actually a major export route for iraqi oil and a gateway to syria for more i was joined earlier by retired u.s. marine brigadier general david reese he is vice president of the strategy and planning division at the potomac institute i first asked him what happened with iraqi forces abandoning their post when muzzle was initially taken over. i think what we're seeing right now is a snippet of the congress that's covering one aspect of the iraqi forces i wouldn't i wouldn't state that that's all iraqi forces. it's part of it and that small part is disconcerting to a certain say the least we would like to see them obviously operate you know ira 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 is a central ised force operating through all of iraq and that's within the shia the sunni and the kurdish areas tell us a bit about this i says insurgent group that's 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 big 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 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 instead 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 die i would offer that what the president needs to do at this point in time is he needs to politically bring everybody into the tent he needs to listen to the concerns of the iraqi people like any president in 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 the 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. why 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. 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 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 and. 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 retired right there as hired a u.s. marine brigadier general david grange 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 start the military offensive in the car 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 arches policy player 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 batman how much time going to take us to get there. soon it's a question but we'll know when we get there. was a former officer with the ukrainian elite 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 preparing for war we're evacuating women and children from

the city batmen says the ukrainian military static is to attack from behind so he's had these men sprawled out across the city about to approach the cap badlands anstice to switch off the camera deep in the forests it's easy to see why they've set up base here everything is coming flogged 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 in close combat fighting the heat from bombing with heavy artillery like in sloviansk in donetsk the guys who come from just about every background you have former students you have form of 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. be automatic weapon training is the most important bettman keeps trying to control over his men maybe still have families inside ukraine and we constantly about them. it's not becoming a war it's already a war. most of the guys are citizens of new guns to 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's enough. but how many more need to die before the queue of government itself to clear is enough is enough for you to see our team outside from guns eastern ukraine. the first commercial drone flights over land in the u.s.

have just received approval for takeoff 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 where the aim of helping a business survey its equipment in the field is artie's may 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 on a small hand launched on what will form aerial surveillance over pipelines roads and equipment in the plant kobe. the probate is the largest known oil field in the u. what's the f.a.a. released a statement to r.t. about its decision it reads in part this survey is on alaska's north coast are another important step toward broad. or 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 cooma eight it has 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 two are 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 for me to a close the company has seen a major decline in sales so now it is pivoting its focus to the commercial world

also new this month the f.a.a. has established a florida testing site for the use of poor drones and american air space this one is located in nevada test flights are expected to begin later this summer at a privately owned airfield just north of las vegas this is just the latest step in the plan to address the issue of unmanned vehicles taking to american skies congress has set a deadline for the f.a.a. to develop regulations for commercial drug use by twenty five t. so far the agency has written two unsuccessful drafts and is in the process of writing a third for the department of transportation and the white house to finally approve of reporting in washington meghan lopez r.t. . weapons uniforms trucks even mine resistant vehicles used in iraq and afghanistan are seeing a second life in u.s. police departments according to the indiana department of administration last year . at least fourteen million dollars and this year it said to save around thirteen

million indiana law enforcement officials say the new gear is needed to protect the public from increasingly heavily armed criminals joining us today is john whitehead president of the rutherford institute and author of a government of wolves the emerging american police state sir thank you very much for joining me now according to these jurisdictions using anti mine vehicles etc one officer offered this reason for for their need for more sophisticated weaponry sergeant dan downing of the morgan county sheriff's department stated the weaponry is totally different now than it was in the beginning of my career plus you have a lot of people who are coming out of the military that have the ability and knowledge to build i e d's and to defeat law enforcement techniques are sergeant downing's concerns legitimate in your opinion about returning veterans not what i see it sounds like paranoia to me like there was an indiana sure sheriff who recently said he needed a name wrap which is the mine resistant armor protection vehicle which is twenty

five thousand and twenty five law in the basically a tank that he that american was in a war zone now. if that's true they were we were in a bad state of affairs because we're in a war zone it means at least are the military which means that the american citizen our enemy combatants that's a new paradigm in my opinion if that's the way that we serve us we're in trouble but no i work of a military veterans across the spectrum from the air force to the marines i don't see any of that no most of them no no weapons and many of them can't own weapons because the fact that they're they are military personnel we have the case of randall robb a twenty six year old marine who was snatched from his home by a secret service department or less security because of his facebook post and the obama facebook post by the way he didn't even own a weapon they didn't have the wherewithal to get a search warrant and find out he was. the mental hospital we followed soon got him out but i mean he didn't have

a weapon and many of the marines i know of people going back know they're very pro america and many of the crazy incidences that we've seen bang bang shoot shoot involve stuff they haven't been military background so i see a lot of paranoia about veterans i don't like that it's using the excuse to armed police like their enemy like the people of afghanistan that we've got a problem well you've written about veterans returning from iraq and afghanistan being targeted by government programs what can you tell us about these programs and their impact on our servicemen and women well operation bizzle it was the one that the marine i was talking about right rob it's a program of the part of homeland security the same agency by the way that's handing out the cheaply the police departments license plate readers and all those things i think it's an excuse i'd like these people to show me statistically veterans being violent we don't see a lot of that no and the thing i worry about is that we're seeing those people are

to fight and then they come back and we're targeting making them targets or punishing them rounding them up because a facebook post i mean we've had cases where veterans have done antigovernment facebook post and the secret service or n.s.a. arrives the next day and threatens them this is free speech fights these guys are not waving guns and those kind of things like the ones we work with and many across the country they're very pro-american or they just they don't like the police violence but i haven't seen any of them shooting but i've written on if you go to rather for that or people watching this program you can read my commentaries there is a paranoia in the government but i think part of that is propaganda they're using that as a way to militarize the police for whatever they think might be coming in the future but what i see is in our studies or rather the suit is a small communities have these mine resistant vehicles they have assault they're both grenades large. ok well let's look at the at the other side of the side these days criminals do have access to more sophisticated weaponry cookbooks for bombs

online what have you is it valid for police to be concerned and want to be better armed than the hostage taker oh yeah i would say yes but again we don't want to make in this is the key we don't want to make our police a standing army that's what the founding fathers argued against because they understood what is standing army was like it can be perilous eighty thousand swat team racially going through people's doors without warrants we're starting to see the beginnings of something that's pretty darned ugly is going to get worse and mirrors former regimes by the way so sure i think in situations where there is evidence that they need this kind of material yes but in towns with fifteen thousand people there's no crime rate why do they need a k grenade launchers so that's the issue there i think sure it's valid you know what i'm ok john why had president of the rutherford institute thank you for joining me this evening for the past few days brazil's biggest city south pollo has

been in traffic chaos a 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 hits the field monday june sixteenth and a very tough group g. match against ghana followed by favorites to win portugal on the twenty second and then germany on the twenty six that when it comes to supporters getting to those matches where 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 graham phillips is in rio de janeiro for r.t. . so there are real with the city's economy copacabana beach so it decides it wants to be the main things in here but you don't because construction with just two days until the world cup begins to sit down hosting the world cup should be a celebration for any nation potentially one is famously football obsessed is presumed to brazilian national team has won the world cup five times that's right

kids but the reality is that the school computer brazil should have been spoiled with reasons it's the most expensive world cup in the street cost of over eleven billion dollars not to record in a country which still struggles with poverty we've seen actions across brazil protests at events such as the creator of the fearless and a growing inflation with the conditions which of secret ports where they work is killed on world cup construction sites that's a feeling of general dissatisfaction discouraged throughout the country we have had the subsidies there was even one showing seventy two percent to brazil recently this month feeling negatively about the world cup we have been talking which is the sentiments of the time for this moment to paris that not with the world cup imminent kicking off in two days of brazil's downtimes day the twelfth of june it could be the time to show some love for this one so that noise time is truly international thing the world cup here in brazil this is great for those who don't see. the city of new york as 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 civil rights lawsuit earlier i spoke with archies of the stasi a turk and i first asked her what the settlements is really all about well let's see this is in fact the biggest single occupier related settlement in a civil lawsuit in new york city since occupy wall street kick started in september twenty eleven. 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. police told these protesters to disperse but instead of letting them do so the box 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 hours and eventually the case was dismissed and the lawyers of these activists argued that they were doing nothing wrong just peacefully marching being traffic laws now to give you some more specifics in terms of how the money is going to be

split we know that two of the defendants are going to be getting five thousand dollars the other twelve will receive twenty thousand dollars and the lawyers will get three hundred thirty three thousand dollars in fees a good time to be a lawyer it seems yeah i guess so right now how does this compare to previous settlements with the occupy lawsuits. well you know as you know over the years there's been plenty of concerns about police brutality so certainly there's been quite a large number of significant number of lawsuits that have taken place overall since over the last several years since occupy kick started we know that over two twenty six hundred arrests have been made and quite a significant number of those over seventy eight percent of these cases were dismissed so that's that's that tells you something that these arrests take place and clearly that it's realize that nothing actually was was was wrong and we do know that about four hundred people actually pled guilty and were convicted and so this raises really tons of questions including this is taxpayer money that the city

is paying out to the activists and also it's really a sign that something's wrong with the n.y.p.d. system the way they act if this leads to these lawsuits where these enormous amounts of money have to be paid to to to protesters what does this mean with regard to the larger occupy movement. well you know with a bunch of the larger occupy movement it seems like this is something that is a sign that these activists can keep fighting for getting restoring their rights because in often 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 this happens in favor and sometimes it doesn't all of the protesters i mean we've seen plenty of cases including the tourist one of several women being pepper sprayed by a police officer that case has 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 for getting his skull fractured fractured at a protest so certainly the city's keep footing the bills for these cases so for these protestors what it means is is they should keep fighting if they want to to restore their rights all right our chief correspondent and s.s.a. check in in new york for us thank you. and before we go tonight africa tune in at nine pm for larry king now tonight features an expert panel gathered to discuss language racism and culture in the wake of the n.f.l. ban of the n word from the playing field here's a part of what's to come see the word is appropriation in the black community we've appropriated that word in order to talk to our homeys talk to our friends often times like russell says it's all 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 have been other terms that have been appropriated redneck right jeff foxworthy has become a multimillionaire based off of you know you're

a redneck when 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 talking about northern americans and now our best baseball team is the yankees or babe or baseball team right so if you feel that you need the most profitable. tune in at nine pm right here are to america for that that doesn't for now folks i'm lindsey france have a great night. you

. are to be shows off and project images that have nothing to do with reality and that screws with people's expectations and perceptions and negative weight so when shows come along that actually reflect a modicum of reality it can have a potentially positive thing 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 hamptons on long island and river head is now tory its first you mean condition according to the a.c.l.u. wrong who would as and coop bubbles from the floor toilets explode. rats and roaches infested kitchens black mold covers the walls and drinking and bathing water runs brown and things of sewage what's worse is that when prisoners try to file grievances they often face retaliation one next 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 guys grips sound guys after 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 flooded county officials with e-mails demanding protection of basic human rights you can check out the initiative at the and why the dot org website i think it's a great idea because our prison system in the us is a total kook covered mess that should be called out but i'm skeptical of the a.c.l.u. says that it is the new black campaign being successful because humanity in our

hollywood worshipping culture seems to rarely be in style tonight let's talk about that by following on twitter adds the resident. well good. science technology innovation all the least developed minutes from around russia we've got the future covered. i.
