your marriage is going to say we are burnt we're better than nothing it's better to see people you've never heard of love are down for the night and rose of the world bank so very. many troops sent us an e-mail. a baghdad orphanage for steve's two more abandoned children to find icicles fighters they were too disturbed by what they've been through to speak they are among dozens of orphans at the shelter that r.t.d. is trying to reconnect with their families but. u.s. central command admits it likely killed sixty one more civilians in iraq and syria during its anti isilon peroration in the region. and decides to boost its military funding to an m. precedented level in light of the growing tensions in the region.

that is r.t. international broadcasting to you live from the russian capital and if you are in good to have you with us this hour. baghdad often a chance to newcomers and mohamed abandoned by their parents who fought for i still the two children are traumatized and unable to speak. to see the earth.

with all. students and it was. a right to give up all. nice for one moment. more. now the teacher and mohammed are among dozens of orphans at the shelter that all see is china to reconnect with their families back home more downstairs reports from iraq. we don't yet know deja and mohammed's fool stories but whatever they've been through the word tragic likely doesn't do it justice the kids refused to speak their words absolute shock they were found by the iraqi military and they decided

to take them to a new orphanage in baghdad they're believed to be cousins and believed to be from chechnya but the kids themselves whatever they've been through must have been horrendous we have rarely seen kids in a state of shock is as bad as this but there are only two among dozens perhaps hundreds of children here in the or in iraq who are suspected to be orphans the children of isis aligned parents and i've gotta say that they're not safe here not safe at all isis spilled a lot of blood they caused a lot of suffering and there are people who would see these children come to harm it is incredibly important to get these children out of here to their biological relatives outside have been happy endings earlier we found five children from russia five children in a baghdad orphanage and see health tracked down their parents i visited the

republic of dagestan where we found the grandfather and grandmother of two girls two little girls one four one three and we managed to reunite them. it's uplifting to know that in the ashes of this terrible terror. war amidst all the suffering and all the anguish there is still room for hope for joy for relatives who never thought the other again for them to reunite and we will continue looking for these lost children and for family members to reunite them

with their families abroad and at least let their relatives know that they're alive . the u.s. state department's ordered the closure of the russian consulate in san francisco along with to access within the next two days the move threatens to take relations between washington and moscow to a new easily tranquil looks into russia's reaction to the. each hostile move each hostile decision by russia or the u.s. is followed by yet another blow and response this latest one by washington means that the number of russian consulates in america will have to be reduced to three and the one that is being shut down in san francisco is the oldest diplomatic compound russia had in the u.s. it dates back to the middle of the nineteenth century well when the russian foreign

minister was asked about the ongoing diplomatic spat this morning he reminded that it wasn't moscow behind this war of sanctions in the first place this. story was not launched by russia it was stilted by the us administration with the only purpose of the us russian relations we understand they're trying to through a trump's administration sorry for my slang they're trying to cut them down respond firmly to washington's actions that's home russia's interest every time you hear about the news on a new round and this never ending outright diplomatic war you ask yourself how far can this go when is it going to be over well at least. says that moscow is genuinely in favor of putting an end to this conflict well when it comes to the approach of the u.s. here's how mr elaborate sees it. the u.s.

we're not seeking conflict with this country we've always been friendly towards the american people and we're still open to constructive relationships but as you know it takes two to tango. compose the brig. time of time so it takes two to tango and definitely when it comes to putting up a fight we have been seeing quite an impressive dance performance by moscow and washington we already heard from sergey lavrov that moscow will react to this decision to shut down the russian consulate in san francisco and very soon we will find out what the russian foreign ministry comes up with. well back in december then president barack obama expelled thirty five russian diplomats over alleged election meddling choosing not to respond in kind on the very same day president vladimir putin instead invited children of u.s. diplomats in russia to a new year party at the kremlin in july after the house of representatives

overwhelmingly passed a new. bill mosco cut the u.s. diplomatic presence in the country to the same level as russia is in america now that resulted in trump extending sanctions after a congressional vote but now washington is defending its latest move as a straightforward return to diplomatic party with moscow or jacqueline looks at the facts. state department claims that this is not an anti russian move but then we move towards parity and an attempt to avoid further escalation. the u.s. hopes that having moved toward russia's desire for parity we can avoid further retaliatory actions and move forward to achieve the stated goal of improved relations between our two countries but how these closures are meant to help the situation really isn't clear we've seen round after round of sanctions imposed against russia by the us including a fresh batch earlier this month that trump signed off on in contrast to that just

days ago he was announcing and expressing again his confidence that the two countries to finally find common ground and come together say it loud and clear i've been saying it for years i think it's a good thing if we have great relationships or at least good relationships with russia that's very important and i believe someday that will happen there is a seven point lead comes just as the new russian ambassador to the us has arrived and gotten straight to work of course we did what we could to improve our relations with the u.s. unfortunately we still haven't reached a consensus on many issues. clearly a bumpy start for him on the job but after years in the game he has fairly tough skin obviously it's tightened by the americans to embarrass him.

now the t. he in fact. is going to have a very very difficult to perform his duties and to establish trust. really. in the worst possible day both countries have repeatedly expressed the hope of improving thai and yet with washington having this tit for tat approach it's not really clear if that's. going to be possible. r.t. washington d.c. . i mean while the u.s. led coalition against islamic state has confirmed another sixty one civilian deaths have likely been caused by is the at and artillery strikes in iraq and syria in the month of july the coalition completed the assessment first reports resulting in sixty one unintentional civilian deaths the coalition assesses that it is more likely than not at least six hundred and eighty five civilians have been unintentionally killed by coalition strikes since the start of operation inherent

resolve. of more pain joins us live now caleb good to see you do you think this is there's not much of an admission as we're going to get or as you just heard at this point u.s. central command says that only six hundred eighty five civilians have been killed in the last three years of the operation against i.c.l. it's interesting though because we continue to hear about airstrikes carried out by the u.s. led coalition in which civilians are killed in fact the united nations says that just sent in march alone and in the city of raka there have been over three hundred civilians killed now many rights groups around the world are very critical of the methods used by the united states to count civilian casualties for example amnesty international has criticized the methods used by the coalition to calculate civilian casualties for the fact that they don't visit the sites of these airstrikes and they don't seem to interview survivors this is what amnesty

international said. relying on this limited methodology leads the coalition to discount to mature to frequences non-credible are inconclusive and to subsequently clean that civilian casualties account for only zero point three one percent of one gauge mints. now u.s. secretary of defense james mattis he said that civilian casualties are just a fact of life and that the important thing is to determine who are the good guys and the bad guys this is what james mattis the u.s. secretary of defense said we are the good guys and munition people on the battlefield know the difference. locals on the ground however beg to differ. i saw with my own eyes three houses destroyed and then astroid isis fighters first went there and run away then the jets bombed where they were seventeen civilians were killed but they would go on the roofs of people's houses and start shooting

they wouldn't let people live in this later. this week with all of the civilians still inside. that's what. we ran from the shelling from the commission will lift the people from islamic state if they can what we would directly targeted by the coalition it was very clear that they would no insurgents in the area there were children playing in the streets and we were carrying water from a tap house and civilly and homes would do great be targeted. one of the planes bombed us heavily this happened in downtown mission that runs around i still slaughtering people that many were killed and houses were destroyed. that all of the coalition shelling targets civilians hit civilians four story houses full of people all over the neighborhood so that something many have been killed among the my cousin he died and rocca in an ass trial. now at this point we're seeing a bit of a pattern where the air strikes in syria and iraq by the u.s.

led coalition are intensifying in the name of defeating i still now the united nations has said that the intensity of strikes and i still repeated willingness to use civilians as essentially human shields all is very very disturbing. ok caleb thanks for that that thought is caleb maupin there well let's delve a little deeper into this issue now and discuss it with our guest political analyst chris bambery a welcome to the program mr banbury now in this state when the coalition said it's more likely than not that sixty one civilians were killed i'm going to ask this question again is that it's close to an admission that we're going to get from the coalition i think it is the reverse attempts to see. these killings of landmines and so on that's been disproved i think this is probably going to get and is that an underestimate of what's happening in both mosul and in rocker because what we're seeing though is the this battle is going on much longer

than the caller should forces expected it both in syria and iraq the expected quick of a truce than this is becoming concentrated into smaller areas of each city which means there are war people crammed into shelter in the houses and yet the u.s. are still using with their favorite method which is via power both in the form of strikes not turi as a way to win this weapon but it's essentially murderous when you talk about a very small use of terrorists you know concentrations of civilian population obviously trying to use the law as human shields we know that but at the same time is strikes heavy artillery or not really accurate weapons and on the scale and the consequence that this is going to be a moment if the billion casualties which is what we're now seeing so far the coalition has admitted to six hundred eighty five civilian casualties but given the way they get extent of destruction we've seen in mosul and now also in iraq or do you think that will you tell me what do you think is there the true figure. i think

that's an underestimate and i think all the different human rights watch the including for instance the syria observer should who writes which is not anti american is seeing the moment think munting casualties far greater than this so that's a voice which is north being held up in the way as the entire record will know it see these casualty figures are wrong for the many more people are dying as a consequence of this and questioning why it is the coalition are continuing to rely on these airstrikes and heavy artillery in the final days of the of this battle when it's clear that the consequence is always going to be the civilian casualties do you make of the comments from the u.s. defense secretary james mattis who recently said that americans are the good guys and locals know the difference do you think there is a difference between good bombs and bad bombs well you know it takes me back to the vietnam war when my remember american generals say we had to destroy the village in order to save it you know there is no difference between good bombs and by bombs of a bomb forward to your house and destroy your family you're not really going to

care with who it is whether it's good or bad it's all by this kind of logic is there is one as i say which is we've seen time and time again from the united states and that is that he takes me right back to vietnam and the sorts of explanations do we give to some of the atrocities which happened in that war i really i think. have a shaman himself and he was back at that tape in his themselves saying those words the make sense whatsoever the coalition has that has promised to investigate every civilian casualty now how thorough do you think these investigations are. well as it was reported there's not currently investigating of rio strike the not sending in people no sometimes that's difficult obviously if die a shoulder holding the territory they can't do that but as of liberated much more of mosul much more raca they could have done much more of that and i again i'm skeptical about what's going to happen here because once finally in iraq i'm mosul

of both taken by the coalition forces my feeling is they want to move all in the movie agenda and very quickly away from what's happened in those dying days and i think it's therefore up to the various human rights organizations to keep a focus on this and if they can gain access as well to the territories quickly as possible to find out the truth from their efforts the whole the able to do that. ok let's go on this chris bambery thank you for your time. while washington says it won't spain about possible terror attacks prior to the atrocities in boston low now we've got the details on that story after the break. what else should seem wrong. but all. just don't call. me. yet to shape out this day comes after. and in detroit equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. most people think just stand out in this is this you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest read. truth to stand out of the news business you just the dance the right questions and the right answers. question.

welcome back now japan's military has requested a record high budgets and lots of the growing tensions in the region it comes days after north korea fired a missile which paul stove of the country the move prompted japan not only to consider a big a military budget but also to call on china to pressure pyongyang in the meantime beijing's viewing tokyo's potential military base as a threat as well. japan's defense budget is increasing every year it has now grown to new historical high we're concerned about this in recent years too bad has been playing up and exaggerating the so-called china's threat and has continued to increase its defense budget. despite all the limitations put on the japanese military since the second world war it still managed to position itself among the world's leading forces a recent change to the country's constitution allowing japan to use its self

defense forces are broad has only heightened tensions both at home and abroad and coupled with a new record high budget request this is stoked fears of a further escalation of the crisis in the region international relations expert victor gal believes cooperation among north korea's neighboring countries would be far more effective than militarization. japan is in a very delicate and sensitive situation mainly because japan has been freezing military expenditure is a dangerous development for many countries is the this part of the world to really ensure peace in the north eastern part of asia there are better ways i think call close cooperation and cause alteration among countries involving japan and china and the united states or russia for example and also to a lesser extent the republic of korea could probably work better results there singlehandedly spending so much of our natural resources to further increase the

military spending by more weapons. hungary's prime minister wants the e.u. to puff up four hundred million euros to compensate the cost of beefing up border security during the migrant crisis if back in twenty fifteen budapest erected a razor wire fence along its borders with serbia and later croatia the measure was a direct response to the math the influx of us phylum seekers into europe hungary is now asking for a fifty percent contribution from the e.u. saying it would like to see solidarity manifested in actions not words to discuss the issue further let's cross live. professor of european studies the saddam university mr parents welcome to the program now do you think budapest will get its way here. and that leads to just a few minutes ago there is some of the recent news on this this is breaking news

actually the european commission has rejected the un garion request for paying apple to some garrion so almost. eight hundred fifty million euro state have fêtes under yes for harmful to price and the european commission he's not willing to pay and their argument is that they are not being thanks to an old friend cease at the borders of europe for twenty years says it has it one pay for the fences but it does support boosting food it controls a weaker real difference have. only now of course hungary in prime minister. and he knew of course that the european commission was not ready to pay for it but i think he made this request for technical reasons it was a tactical maneuver to get its straits and to show basically.

the group of countries that are i think getting in the minority debts the research group up for countries headed by germany destined once to sit or it's illegal migration to europe backed up by the european commission but there are some are sure growing group of crohn's rhys black that we should not go to receive including poland slovakia of the czech republic the balkan countries countries like ratio but also countries like there are in western europe that really want to stop the illegal migration to to your people and union so basically i think these mothballed prime minister viktor orban was rejecting the more order to mobilize those countries that are opposing this policy of the european commission. does it what that's good it has thought you meant that it had to say spends will protect the whole of europe from illegal immigration do you think not the valid points. but

yeah i think it has been clear from the two thousand and fifteen home if the hungarian thoughts have. established a fence there would have been an enormous political demographic and social crisis in the western european countries countries like sweden or syria they almost collapsed and also the dutch minister of finance ending the euro group and brussels at mit's its debts the netherlands and not have more than fifty thousand refugees for migrants. if you want to call these people a year for ten years or otherwise the social benefits system would collapse so i think hungary didn't europe the fate for. europe is not ready to give hungary credits forty's. early this year the un launched a legal case against hungry for refusing to take it outside and take it and now

budapest is expecting or asking for this compensation of the two sides reconcilable . no i don't think. but you see the tide is turning to the group of countries studies of overseeing illegal migration is growing we two years ago we had it's only at it. and see the socialist prime minister and nowadays you see that italy is almost had the brink of collapse and is willing to change its policies or a more policy the same went austria. mckown is he done crown of france it is has become more critical with african migrants some of the only fixed country is germany that is in the complaint for elections and the. on the shunts learn from urban america has rebuilt its or open door policy and recent states but i see this is

a growing minority position in the european union muslim rance professor of european studies that amsterdam university thank you for your time. well there will also be on the day stories by following us on facebook and twitter and my colleague neil harvey will be with you at the top of the hour with more news. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us a full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch oh yeah it's the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than two thousand. and see if anybody had ever heard of love

redacted tonight president of the world bank so there you go write me seriously send us an e-mail the two thousand and eight economic crisis turns some countries into peg's these are the countries with weaker economies that needed austerity policies if you are in a situation no flow gloat even the recession austerity is a very bad idea it doesn't work it makes millions of people very unhappy those who are unemployed see their wages decline almost a decade how good are the results. by the people. to watch or will be able to see what i. will be she was i mean to fight he told. us to. get it. while the same mission is still in place who one of the consequences

to we. will first one of the. the truth of the consider is the consequences are actually quite acceptable to the decision makers. this is what we discover inside the machines interrogate the donors the volunteers answer the medical questions at electronic terminals one single physical examination measuring blood pressure. this is mainly to avoid the donors fainting while donating blood which would slow down the entire chain. not a single chair in the room is empty an endless stream of donors with no time to recover after the donation twelve hours a day seven days a week. in view of such summary checks everything is based on what people think

paid donations entailed a certain risk they encourage donors to lie about their health. such compensation also attracts a high risk population that sometimes has secrets to hide. if i began to be a very. b.m.p. . question but the basic law i know enough to use computer no no no. if i was lying when i had tubes over two years old and looks like it's part of the bricks but it actually is what i miss in a blue to faint make it look like i'm doing err on the side. you know i have the science on no we will go in the money news and if it drills. to just next person a

last summer to big bang around here. and so you know me even if they was the test now for drugs they don't show. it's. about three to five minutes a day you chase and again. you know in the next couple days backed out in the past three months. i give up these past. get their fix. the people selling drugs they are used to this they love because some of. that means walk the farmers there even if you know even if. they clients will gas somewhere to go every time they make some money ok listen. you give me your car your plasma car. i'll give you a bag. because i know you go is going to get loaded on there i'll make sure that you go to zero because i'm not going to take no type of losses i won't drop you off

in there i'm drop you off there and make sure you get into your pay work and anomalies because i know i normally get my money for sure and when you don't you can come back again we do the same process again. and this is how the blood business attracts the drug business and all that goes with it trafficking exploitation health risks for the donors. to farm are aware of all this we wanted to ask them if they notice traces of drugs in their donors plasma. but it's still impossible to get access tensions rise the security services asked us to leave which we did. why was our presence bothering them so much. you know they don't like us to interview the north. and they you know walk because they thought it was something that they

something they do all right ok i don't know what the hell's going on where for you guys to be. with your cameras to interview this place i mean what do you got. we're doing t.v. documentary about class and class not doing ours their complaint that they call it complain that if they felt like you were harassing the arrests in the dorms coming out management just advise that they want you guys you guys trespassing which means if you walk out of the parking lot they will have their security sign charges against you guys for trust that's fine but they thank you very much yes very much. back in switzerland there are many questions about compensation exploitation and concern about donors how does all this affect the drugs we use what control do we have over imported plasma. first of all we wanted to see tamara to show her our

images. around the state. with drugs. ok. and i don't approve great the. rest. of the you know clearly show. it. to seek out pay ok i mean look this. up a good omen throw kosoff at the district to shift the. oversight you also do not leak out the make-a lake at eight a you'll already be feeling it to start madly decisional thing we've got a few miles you know. this to cut the slope that. this

is. the swiss medical experts reassured us that the plasma for swiss drugs didn't come from paid donors. will do it all for. the. fun of all to document. it all that is still i'm sure that. all. those those cold. opals. it's all to spend going to see that quote even if it's old savaging pledge event is it as unique i don't know i mean i get them both sized all the bits all the spin from the top to spend the good don't i mean i hate you he owes it as. of this admission this ignition to the. civil rights for all.

been committed it's bit salt. and you're. industry terms the money paid to donors is compensation not payment for a play on words in germany for example donors may receive a small fee which is limited to three times a month but the fees offered in the usa are much higher enough to let the poorest survive. keep that prefab and sound don't depress mouth they. do and you know that's not the fancy. that assists irish i said this is south and if i'm not so he and his creation of us the truth and if. he spent it to itself if you didn't need to us the house and financial. system see of. it don't fit of coughing up plasma master file

a several hundred page document ten which the origin of the plasma is listed countless technical details but nothing about the reality. visibly the swiss medic experts don't know more about it was if it is as you know assault clinic the dome. was it doesn't need this is said winds up with the. most i think almost as best. not in. this. book does it make sense for the legislator to ask so few questions the industry hides behind the trade secret keeping the authorities in the dark. and. the socialist congressman j.f. steer is an expert in the swiss health system he finds the pharmaceutical industry's lack of transparency an acceptable option out in all to peace to sell. at a sample of points to a movie made yeah that's why it's all in the script that you're able to it's all

smiles and yet you don't think you can most likely get to see the need for the full face offs as to lots opacity profits lack of monitoring to what extent is public health at risk through this system what threats does it pose to patients and donors. danielle t so dean of the faculty of medicine of lowe's and university has long been head of the studies blood center although he was generally reassuring he pointed out the risks as good and when you send. some sort of press madden anything can. be done. quite a few me. off it would get me could do a couple of us here on new government to do recess you hear doctor and care. about it but they're set. up with that. doctor said putting at hollister a key that p.t.

don't know maybe desh started and at least fifty two didn't it both that. zero risk doesn't exist. just. as we are reminded by the scandal of contaminated blood that hit europe including the swiss red cross and france. the you know i don't. mean on enough don't get on. yet reveal it feel the need to acknowledge all three you don't want to pause reconnect i mean if all of you lose your feet up. front then the movie that you did after the scandal sanitary checks were increased world wind. the plasma pools are now cleaned using methods that are said to be highly efficient. new sort of stuff it easy to need you can use. the shortage through the

me and that he does do. is a human talent just in lille he's head of the blood center for the north of france the largest transfusion center in france he's one of the people traumatized by the blood contamination scandal in eighty. five dollars a day that division in its most. minute. yes what it does to sort out the boy had to do something. fix your piece to keep it up. to you know keep in. mind. is this it makes no sense that people people are going to just buy drugs. you know that's. all. of them in this show. and also to this.

day the checks are considered effective at least as far as known risks are concerned but. if there was a new virus slipping through we could spread more quickly due to globalization. to reduce these risks wouldn't the best way be for each country to produce its own plasma that would be preferable according to the world health organization self-sufficiency is definitely one of the aims that show promotes in terms of the goal that countries are trying to get to the goal is not self-sufficiency soley for self-sufficiency sake it's because systems that are self-sufficient tend to be safer and tend to provide better access but there are many parts of the world that are not self-sufficient and have to depend on outside sources for for blood donation and so for us it's an aim that much of the world needs to work towards but

we're not there yet. however much the w.h.o. may state the importance of self-sufficiency the world market isn't following the us is exporting more plasma and soon europe won't be able to do without this cheap raw material. in many parts of the world they've made decisions two in particular in europe and several countries some scandinavian countries france are making decisions to. basically privatized or to move into a private management of these types of of donation systems. here's what people have been saying about rejected in. the long. we only show i go out of my way to you know. really pack them. yap is the john oliver of r t america is saying we are apparently better than. to see people you never heard

of. jack tonight. president of the world bank a. seriously. send us an e-mail.

despite the checks being in place the experts cannot rule out the possibility of a new virus this fear for health care is a main feature of the new was in france in july two thousand and fifteen the farmer obtained the liberalisation of the market the swiss company was authorized to sell its plasma and the drugs derived from it to all french hospitals until van the french blood center had had the monopoly this intrusion is worrying michelle most seventy eight the director of the powerful federation of volunteer donors. and so we you know. are you going to show that she didn't you don't all. of us. and you can see. us it's only. just because i thought that that's it so if i said that that.

she's also know the only reason i called for to. go to now. on. you do need to put me off well on this was some push on you don't know if you don't put your fork in podium don't you knew you could as most of us just not all of us my own only when you vote. who are going to be so sick. she said you have to be kidding me to come on david. or not is i tell her no it's all she sees i tell her no just wanted i bought the mr t. he couldn't remember rip the small of. it gets the off. me. don't cycle social to me come on getting big that's not where he ended up walking the family keep i think because maybe we need help but don't know it. because this one on my own cheek he will see by most he doesn't. go to press mouth. if it will feel the need to

come out of vietnam yet you show us on the bus you off on a ski cross i mean consider them. as completely. separate schools as far as your sharkey's hope he goes to three of our children who . didn't assume staus to be filled with game oh. they do that to get. their kids. a letter but don't notice him so mr obama played on to be efficiency of a. pet store to get that son might get a mess you want to feel totally neat on as you do not wish to look less mock us see how he had a fabric suppressed most of all the clothes he ended up being you know. market

liberalisation increased sanitary risks. designed to farm i have to say in response to these fears. after many months of investigation and countless requests the company still refuses any interview. we went to their headquarters located in the con in the canton schmidt's. on a mission my book. it is a kind of a. yapping. about it a. lot better because if that was your mind if you're just all properties the only the best thing to do is if you could leave the building at the moment and in as thomas sit we will consider your questions and come back with us with through the appropriate to through the appropriate channels

ok so you will answer my questions we will as you wish you just said that you will answer all questions. on the police's request our camera man left the premises. the head of communications asked us to ask our questions in writing promising us he passed them on to the shareholders. clearly nothing is decided without the approval of market share the founder and single owner of dr pharma. the company doors closed to us once more. we had a long list of questions not only with regard to the sanitary risks but also the company's methods. on the plasma markets to pharma isn't the most important player but it sales have already reached one point five billion euros and are sorry its business practices have often rounds the

authorities suspicions. on the meaning of the city's resist without this. it really should be. i think. it is. at the end of two thousand and fifteen the former portuguese prime minister was arrested for corruption. allegedly received funds from iraq to farm i when he was a consultant in brazil where the swiss company was involved in a huge case known as the blood bam pyar scandal aka pharma is suspected of bribing ministry of health officials the case has still not been judged and the company continues its activities in brazil. such political connections are worrying the french donor federation. has first hand experience of the swiss company sensibility over this matter. not us you know we cooked the hell my.

new summit we need to do now five of. them east with us all to. book a. machine she did a potted plant called new. weapon in mole hill greg a place you don't defeat us us city folk who have well not just when you must be. please. don't call every day bucky a new to me see lucy and he and if you should be eased. a see who he. why he don't use alternate earth. to he he had. you not get it cecil quickly. he or she had it she chip show question edge about he either miss you not get to disappear not to. look wait any longer. also met you.

you couldn't have all seen it to prophesy my exam. when we visited the headquarters to find the promised answers to our questions few weeks later the head of communications informed us that none of them would be answered without explaining why. there was only one solution left travel to heidelberg both gone margaery is home. to logon to me tell. me it's been for

you're watching international. a baghdad orphanage has two newcomers dejah and mohammed both abandoned by their parents who fought for i saw the two children are traumatized and unable to speak. you know the old. nurse. my son had that all.

students sunday. night to get up all. night you will fall for a moment. of deja and mohammed are among dozens of all things that the shelter that all teams trying to reconnect with their families back home and because they have reports from iraq. we don't yet know deja and mohammed's full stories but whatever they've been through the word tragic likely doesn't do it justice the kids refused to speak they were in absolute shock they were found by the iraqi military

and they decided to take them to a new orphanage in baghdad believed to be cousins and believed to be from chechnya but the kids themselves whatever they've been through must have been horrendous we have rarely seen kids in a state of shock is as bad as this but there are only two among dozens perhaps hundreds of children here in the row in iraq who are suspected to be all things the children of isis aligned parents and i've gotta say that they're not safe here not safe at all isis spilled a lot of blood they caused a lot of suffering and there are people who would see these children come to harm it is incredibly important to get these children out of here to their biological relatives outside there have been happy endings earlier we found five children from russia five children in a baghdad orphanage and the help track down the parents i visited the republic of

dagestan where we found the grandfather and grandmother of two girls two little girls one four one three and we managed to reunite them. live. i've it's uplifting to know that in the ashes of this terrible terror. noble war amidst all the suffering and all the anguish there is still room for hope for joy for relatives who never thought they'd see each other again for them to reunite and we will continue looking for these lost children and for family members to reunite them with their families abroad and at

least let their relatives know that they're alive. meanwhile the u.s. led coalition against islamic state has confirmed another sixty one civilian deaths are likely being caused by an artillery strikes in iraq and syria. in the month of july the coalition completed the assessment of thirty seven reports resulting in sixty one unintentional civilian deaths the coalition assesses that it is more likely than not at least six hundred and eighty five civilians have been unintentionally killed by coalition strikes since the start of operation inherent resolve u.s. central command says that only six hundred eighty five civilians have been killed in the last three years of the operation against i.c.l. it's interesting though because we continue to hear about airstrikes carried out by the u.s. led coalition in which civilians are killed in fact now many rights groups around

the world are very critical of the methods used by the united states to count civilian casualties for example amnesty international has criticized the methods used by the coalition to calculate civilian casualties for the fact that they don't visit the sites of these airstrikes and they don't seem to interview survivors this is what amnesty international said relying on this limited methodology leads the coalition to discount to mature to free points as non-credible are inconclusive and to subsequently clean that civilian casualties account for only zero point thirty one percent of all in gages now u.s. secretary of defense james mattis he said that civilian casualties are just a fact of life and the important thing is to determine who are the good guys and the bad guys we are the good guys munition people on the battlefield know the difference locals on the ground however beg to differ. i saw with my own eyes three houses destroyed and then a stroke of isis fighters first went there and run away then the jets bombed where

they were seventeen civilians would clear up like they would go on the roofs of people's houses and start shooting they wouldn't let people live in this later. this week with all of the civilians still inside. that we were in from the shelling from the coalition were left and the people from islamic state if you can what we were directly targeted by the coalition it was very clear that there were no insurgents in the area there were children playing in the streets we were carrying water from a tap on house and civilian homes were directly targeted. one of the planes bombed us heavily this happened in downtown mission that runs around isobel slaughtering people many were killed and houses were destroyed. coalition shelling targets civilians civilians four story houses full of people all over the neighborhood certainly many have been killed among the my cousin he died in iraq in

an airstrike now at this point we're seeing a bit of a pattern where the airstrikes in syria and iraq by the u.s. led coalition are intensifying in the name of defeating i still now the united nations has said that the intensity of strikes and i still repeated willingness to use civilians as essentially human shields all is very very disturbing the u.n. has expressed particular concern over the u.s. led operation in iraq all according to the organization there are at least twenty thousand civilians still trapped inside the city in august alone the coalition carried out more than a thousand strikes in the area we discuss the latest coalition report on casualties with several experts. and is that an underestimate of what's happening in both mosul and in racker because what we're seeing now it's becoming concentrated into small areas of each city which means there are more people crammed into shelter in our houses and yet the us are still using with their favorite method which is fire

power both in the form of ear strikes and artillery as a way to win this weapon and it's essentially murderous when you talk about a very small areas of terror concentrations of civilian population air strikes heavy artillery are not really accurate weapons and in this scale and the consequence that this is going to be moment exhibit in casualties which is what we're now seeing the monitoring group there was suggested that up to fifteen hundred almost fifteen hundred people may have been killed by u.s. bombing coalition bombing in iraq and syria in march of this year alone including the terrible strike on a residential block in mosul has fought to have killed perhaps up to two hundred people so there is this these statistics are certainly like to be a gross underestimate. your state department ordered the closure of the russian consulate in san francisco along with two annexes all within the next two days the threatens to take relations between washington and moscow to

a new low delivered trying to look into russia's reaction to the move. each hostile move hostile decision by russia or the u.s. is followed by yet another blow and response this latest one by washington means that the number of russian consulates in america will have to be reduced to three and the one that is being shut down in san francisco is the oldest diplomatic compound russia had in the u.s. it dates back to the middle of the nineteenth century well when the russian foreign minister was asked about the ongoing diplomatic spat this morning he reminded that it wasn't moscow behind this war of sanctions in the first place this. story was not launched by russia it was stilted by the us administration with the only purpose of the us russian relations trying to through

a trumps administration story from my slang terms of trying to come down. to washington actions that's home russia's interest every time you hear about the news on a new round and this never ending outright diplomatic war you ask yourself how far can this go when is it going to be over well at least. says that moscow is genuinely in favor of putting an end to this conflict well when it comes to the approach of the u.s. here's how mr elaborate sees it. the u.s. will seek in conflict with this country we've always been friendly towards the american people and we're still open to constructive relationships but as you know it takes two to tango. compose the brig. time of the time so it takes two to tango and definitely when it comes to putting up a fight we have been seeing quite an impressive dance performance by moscow and

washington we already heard from sergei lavrov that moscow. will react to this decision to shut down the russian consulate in san francisco and very soon we will find out what the russian foreign ministry comes up with. well back in december then president barack obama expelled thirty five russian diplomats that was over alleged election meddling choosing not to respond in kind on the very same day president vladimir putin instead invited the children of u.s. diplomats in russia to a new year party at the kremlin fast forward six months to july after the house of representatives overwhelmingly passed the new anti russia sanctions bill moscow cut the u.s. diplomatic presence in the country to the same level as russia's in america and that resulted in trump extending sanctions after a congressional vote now washington defended its latest moves being a straightforward return to diplomatic parity with moscow on his jaclyn verger takes a closer look at the facts. state department claims that this is not an anti russian

move but then they move towards parity and in the attempt to avoid further escalation. the u.s. hopes that having moved toward russia's desire for parity we can avoid further retaliatory actions and move forward to achieve the stated goal of improved relations between our two countries but how these closures are meant to help the situation really isn't clear we've seen round after round of sanctions imposed against russia by the us including a fresh batch earlier this month that transcend often in contrast to that just days ago he was announcing and expressing again his confidence that the two countries to finally find common ground and come together say it loud and clear i've been saying it for years i think it's a good thing if we have great relationships or at least good relationships with russia that's very important and i believe someday that will happen there is a seven point lead just as the new russian ambassador to the us has arrived and gotten straight to work of course we did what we could to improve our relations

with the u.s. unfortunately we still haven't reached a consensus on many issues. clearly a bumpy start for him on the job but after years in the game he has a fairly tough obviously. timed by the americans to embarrass him. the t. he in fact. is going to have a very very difficult to perform his duties to establish trust. really. in the worst possible day both countries have repeatedly expressed the hope of improving thai and yet with washington having this tit for tat approach it's not really clear if that's the. going to be possible. r.t. washington d.c.

. japan's military has requested a record high budget in light of the growing tensions in the region now this comes days after north korea fired a missile which passed over the country move prompted japan not only to consider a bigger military budget but also to call on china to pressure pyongyang in the meantime beijing's viewing tokyo's potential military boost as a threat as well. far away that japan's defense budget is increasing every year it has now grown to new historical high we're concerned about this in recent years too bad has been playing up and exaggerating the so-called china's threat and has continued to increase its defense budget despite all the limitations put on the japanese military since world war two still managed to position itself among the world's leading forces a recent change to the country's constitution allowing japan to use its self-defense forces abroad that is only heightened tensions both at home and abroad

coupled with a new record high a budget request this is stoked fears of a further escalation of the crisis in the region international relations expert to go believes that cooperation among north korea's neighboring countries that would be far more effective than militarization. japan is in a very delicate and sensitive situation mainly because japan is increasing military expenditure is a dangerous development for many countries in. the. middle east that. will hold cooperation. in china and the united states and russia for example and also to a lesser extent the republic of korea could probably work better results there singlehandedly spending so much financial resources to further increase the

military spending by more weapons. the head of poland tourism organization is being sacked after remarks made about the auschwitz concentration camp in a newspaper interview he suggested the nazi camp was not quote an attractive tourist destination he also added that the site had more to do with the country's history than with poland's ok let's discuss this now in more depth and bring in joel rubin felt is the president of the belgian the against the semitism could speak to you joe do you agree with this decision then to fire the tourist chief for those remarks about auschwitz. yes of course because of this person the start of those people who want to revive the story jews are part of the story of poland. far beyond the. two since thousand euro jews were in poland

before all are told the ten percent of the population in paul on the jewish uninvited told the capital city sort of the population was jewish definity jews are part of the history of poland and the size that trying to conserve. and to or is feeds and the. museum of the story of polish jews from the tower of orange will not least its it goes in destroy and of those people who try to erase part of the story as dramatic as it is and i think that today more than ever when we see today in poland but also in the whole europe the rise of far right parties the rise of properly the right also or far left parties washer ring the same anti-semitic views it's very important to join at least and the people that they are able to go to visit and to

to to see by themself what the human kind is possible to do and. to to learn the son from history to be sure that it will be never again. and that is that the crux of the matter here that this is about remembering the country's history remembering the trustees and making sure that future generations remember. excuse me can you say thing is that what the significant matter here is that history isn't forgotten is that why it's important that auschwitz remains a visited destination. yes of course of course it's very important since ten years it started in. two thousand and. twenty five years ago there was a terrorist attack in france in toulouse were. called killing jews and then there were order to restart back targeting specifically jews so today in europe again we

are keeping do some people are killing jews because they are jews so we need to remind these that it's not on the east tory it's also what's going on today and it's very important that there are hundreds of thousands of people and young people who are going to visit each sure it's very important for them because they will be the leader of two more of the drawn at least the politicians the law makers it's very important for them to to learn from history and to to be sure that the those atrocities will not be repeated so i don't see any other explanation from this move of the guy who was heading to reason the affairs in poland and i will join the statement of the minister of tourism or of followed in the fire of the dispersant and she said that the statement was scandalous and indeed it's

candles it's part of the story it's part of the euro news story europe and the story and we need all together to remind this and to be sure that we learn from the mistakes of the past joe can i just ask you to stay on the line in a break way just for a moment just want to tell of views about another holocaust memorial also in poland and that is also in building control of the sea russia's foreign ministry says that moscow isn't being allowed to participate in the reconstruction of a museum in sobibor that's the side of another former nazi concentration camp. to be god there are now that every country has spoken out in favor of precious participation in this project is absolutely clear it was against russian politicians as about race absence not being a negative out of place there is no need to mislead people by firming that rush is somehow itself recently asked to be included in the project from the sobibor death count was operational for two years during the second world war two a quarter of

a million jews are believed to have been killed there let's go back to our guests joel ruben. as i understand russia was invited in the past to take part in the rebuilding of this museum so what has changed. i don't know you know the u.s. you need to see what's behind the scene and today we have in europe this deal between different countries between different parts of europe we have a local site but icing it would be a mistake if ball and refused to to invite the russia to draw in the two for this rebuilding of for this commemoration because we need to remind that. who who freed who liberated the camp it's the red army so we need to remind this and i sing that. beyond the local fide be beyond the political problems between concrete today but tomorrow it can change yesterday it was different beyond all

this we need to try you know on this ground zero of the east or which was world war two which was the genocide which was the sure i think that. come on the story this story can unite us instead of dividing us so i hope that the politicians on both sides will be wise enough to understand that with this kind of specific issues we need to go beyond the current. fight between some parties between. some countries. to be at least if we are not all united on this i don't know what unites us actually you want the countries to come together it is obviously a very sensitive issue though do you think there's a potential here for russia and poland to fall out over this. were enough i don't have the knowledge enough on those on this specific issue but.

i sing that on both sides the two. wiseness and maybe they will be able to two two two two two two two go beyond those. courant to current problems because it's. you know it's. as i said before in europe we see the rise of far right parties it's very frightening in the current situation with the meager uncertain and with the terrorism with the rise of terrorism with the arrival of islam isn't it feed its two faces under same current far right parties. and gee i didn't hear a reason and it's really a trait which can. change or or society if

we are not united to fight to fight back we will lose the only way to win decide is to be united to be strong and so i don't know specifically about the current issue between the poland and russia but i sing that they will be they should be wise in the sea beyond those problems and to seeing the next generation and to sink aboard the future of europe the future of the democracy and not about their career and local and personal issues great to speak to joel rubin fellow i guess president of the belgian league against the semitism. the use hungary's prime minister will seek to cough up four hundred million euros compensation for beefing up border security during the migrant crisis now back in two hundred fifteen budapest put a razor wire fence on its borders with serbia then crew a ship now asking for fifty percent from the e.u. saying it wants solidarity manifested in actions not words the fence was

a direct response to the influx of asylum seekers to europe hungry adopted a number of other measures as well to put illegal migrants off coming that. how to. cocoa when. they should be or what you think of a pretty normal thank you. thank uncle mother or sack.

of her house. muslim arts from the university amsterdam says that the demand for compensation is a bid to draw attention to difficulties faced by countries at the forefront of the crisis. the european commission has rejected its the one gary in requests for paying adult to some and their argument is that they are not being external fancies at the borders of europe now of course gary and prime minister his request for tactical reasons it was a tactical maneuver to sell our sure growing group of grunts reese like to be chicagoans reese including poland slovakia the czech republic the balkan countries

countries like ratio but also countries like denmark in western europe that really want to stop illegal migration to a european union so basically i think there's more fall prime minister viktor orban was a tactical move in order to mobilize those countries that are opposing this policy of the european commission. thanks stay with us here now to international the very latest news headlines at the top of the hour see that.

greetings and sell you. prepare yourselves hawk watchers because the day i think it's time we upset some safe spaces and dive headlong into a controversy that's been simmering boiling and dominating the streets and campuses and social media conversations here in the united states ever since the tragic clash of protestors in charlottesville took that took the in the life of an innocent young woman and forced two disparate groups and nazi white nationalists once again into the headlines clearly two groups who are on opposite ends of the ideological spectrum clashing with each other is nothing new or controversial but what is stirring up all the activists social media outrage are the allegations that despite claiming to stand against fascism and members of an deep are often using the very same violent tactics of the fascists they seek to overcome their sweet

killer surprise winning journalist i'm no fan of fascism or the corporate state chris hedges has come under fire for his recent article entitled how and mirrors the old right. in his article hedges makes the case that the use of violence by the end of the movement not only gives more power to the corporate state but it also waters down and denigrates their cause just writes what took place in charlottesville like what took. place in february february one black block protesters toward the u.c. berkeley attempt to host the crypto fascist million up list was political theater it was about giving self-styled radicals a stage it was about elevating their self image it was about appearing heroic most important it was about the ability to project fear this newfound power is exciting and intoxicating it is also very dangerous however many activists and progressives don't call this dangerous they call it necessary because they are at war and they

are now accusing hedges and anyone else who casts a critical eye on the tactics of anti as dividing the left and playing into the hands of president trump be all right and the white nationalist neo nazis they fight so let's journey into the heart of this great debate as we start watching the hawks. that i got. this. week. while they were on the watching the hawks i am tired world winter. joining us today journalist author and host of on contact

welcome chris thank you chris you know after publishing this article this week you you've now been accused of dividing the left and essentially helping to promote a false moral equivalency between the violence perpetrated by the neo nazis and violence perpetrated by on t.v. and in the black bloc how i'm curious how do you respond to this criticism over your article. well the left was divided including in and before i wrote this article over whether to employ violence and acts of vandalism or not. number two it's my job as a writer to as stringently as i can write what i see as the truth. and whatever those consequences are. you know we have to live with it. so both of those accusations are kind of a canard and. we're looking at this it made me think of when we're younger we have

a different view of all of our ideology and how far we would go to stand up to it and in this instance made me think of william paul who wrote the one nine hundred seventy one book the end sold over two million copies and in it called for a violent insurrection in two thousand and thirteen he actually wrote in a guardian op ed that is anger at the thought of it being drafted in vietnam had quote blinded me to the illogical notion illogical notion that violence can be used to prevent violence i had fallen for the same irrational pattern of thought that led the u.s. military involvement in both vietnam and iraq the irony is not lost on me so chris let me ask you this is there a legitimate argument average to be made that violence is acceptable as long as it done in the name of this you know the correct set of beliefs if you're doing it for the right side is it ever acceptable is it ever productive to society. it's

always tragic and i spent twenty years as a war correspondent covering conflicts in central america the middle east and was in sarajevo during the war in the former yugoslavia. there are moments when societies are pushed to such an extreme as was true for instance i'm sorry ava where they have to employ violence. in that city which was being shelled by the serbs day and night to. thousand shells a day constant sniper fire forty five dead a day two dozen wounded a day. was protected by trench systems we knew that if the serbs surrounding serve forces broke through those trenches a third of the city would be slaughtered in the rest would be driven into refugee and displacement camps and that was wasn't conjecture we were that what happened in vukovar adreno valley and all sorts of other places so at that point you know especially being shelled. nobody was sitting around in a basement arguing over pacifism but that doesn't save you from the poison of

violence i think when you look at foreign occupation such as our occupation of iraq israeli occupation of gaza i used to work in algeria and land at the airport i would say welcome to our geria land of a million martyrs the foreign occupier comes in and only speaks the language of force. and they're only going to be driven out through force but what we're confronting here in the united states is is more akin to a revolution in revolutions are always fundamentally nonviolent no revolutionary movement succeeds unless a significant sectors of the internal security as well as the military either refuse to defend a discredited regime or defect and that's been and so what is it that the state the corporate state is seeking to do it wants to demonize the movement to keep it from brean broad based and that's what these figures do remember that the people there

are fighting in the streets not of course defending in any way they're repugnant racism and bigotry and. they come from the same economic class largely and. and that plays into the hands of our corporate oligarchy and that's you know one of the things i want to kind of get through is that you know a lot of the you know. for activists or the you know the progressives that are kind of defending the actions that we've seeing you know also point to the fact that you know they also do a lot you know they really they claim that they do a lot more har more good than harm you know like protecting you know dr cornel west in the courtroom in charlottesville from the nationalists who are kind of running the lines there you know there's also they're also running a relief aid program in houston. and they say they're getting this kind of bad rap in the media especially given the forces that they're. fighting against you know is their truth is the media kind of stepping in and clouding this issue and kind of

you know hyping up the violence in order to kind of paint that picture of. yes there is no moral equivalency between these right wing white nativist groups and i was very clear about that in my column. the numbers of hate crimes and including home asides that have been committed by these hate groups we've increased certainly go back of course to the oklahoma city bombing dwarf anything that's done by anti phone but i think that when they carry out these tactics they actually squander their moral authority because they have moral authority and they play into the hands of a trumpet ministration at a state that really is frightened of a broad based anticapitalist movement and wants to criminalize all any capitalist organizing and resistance and. groups like the black bloc or n t forgive them

the kind of images that they can disseminate to demonize the left and then carry out more draco nian forms of control the devil or group you are the anti the movement to me has to exist some other has resembled this idea that of the past that to some extent it looks like a slightly less. organized version of groups like the weather out there ground the united freedom front and the same to be asleep liberation army which had certain ideals that were very democratic that were anti-capitalist that were more socialists that were considered the sort of militant progressives yet every one of those groups were heavily infiltrated by the ira they were not violent i was not on not actually the under the weather underground but yeah most of these were at some point they were steered into violent actions by undercover f.b.i. agents that ultimately the point of their fight was lost because they didn't heed the warnings of people saying look there are people in your group that are pushing

you into certain things am i just being paranoid or is there a real threat of that happening to these kids the weather underground is a good example because the weather underground came out of students for democratic society which was the largest antiwar. organization in the country and the members of the weather underground mark rather than bill ayers and others bernard adorn became frustrated that they couldn't stop the war especially after the tet offensive and so they decided to carry out this campaign a bomb in which by the way when they spoke to the vietnamese delegates. from north vietnam they implored them not to do it so that when nixon began his bombing of cambodia the s.d.s. was destroyed as a movement. and it did all of the things that the nixon administration wanted which was to paint the left as dangerous and.

violent and and it played totally into the hands of of the state i mean i think we should also acknowledge that violence even when it's carried out in a don't like the word just but when it becomes inevitable as that was when i covered the war sorry of all or when i covered the war in el salvador it doesn't save you from the poilu poison of violence it elevates those who have a penchant for violence and a capacity for violence. and i think for me that's why violence is always tragic i'm not a pacifist but i think in this case. it's a lot of people who are kind of looking at resistance as a form of catharsis and if we're going to topple the corporate state which we must do to save our country and ultimately to save our planet it's not about how we feel it's not about joining a group of. you know one hundred black clad massed figures and projecting

fear which is an intoxicated and empowering emotion that that is. you know it's frankly just kind of infinite we have to begin to dismantle and attack the structures of the corporate state many people talk about fascism these guys marching through places like charlottesville are not going to achieve power we're not talking about attacking the nazi party the elements of what sheldon wallen calls inverted totalitarianism or the corporate totality they already have power and yes figures like trump and people within the corporate state will use racism and white nativism and all of that stuff to further their agenda but we do we we we've kind of missed a focus here of the the the forces that we have to confront are not ascendant there are already in control exactly exactly and. we deserve

a little bit a time and you know chris one of the things also that jumps out to me is that one of the reasons you don't use violence as alternately violence isn't going to change the mind of the person you're trying to change you know if you punch your races that's not going to make them less racist. and it in fact it plays totally into their hands i mean people talk about how nobody resisted in germany well that's just historically faults up until nine hundred thirty three when the nazis took power that there were street clashes consta. really between the communists even the socialists had their own paramilitary groups and the fascist went and sought it out because in the end the capitalist class and the ruling elites are always going to a saw side with the fascists when they feel capitalism is under threat which is precisely. what happened in germany and most germans were sick of what the

violence that was happening in the streets which they blamed on the left yes it was true that the fascists were the ones who incited it. but that's something that we have to understand that the state is looking for any excuse to shut down all any capital as even those of us who are adamantly opposed to vine most definitely they are there and they will get this gives them this to give them the opportunity exactly what does i have to thank you for coming on the bay and. being the wonderful spokesman you are for that for this kind of thinking and that ideology thank you saying as i understand the new one exactly exactly like you thank you. as we go to break cork watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered a facebook twitter and see our poll shows that r t v dot com coming up sean stone gets to the bottom of the controversial pardon of share of joy of horror a paro from president donald trump with award winning filmmaker covered both state

two to watching the. with manufacturing consent to the public will. when the really close is a project. with the flaming. lips . we can all middle of the

room sit. room. ordinarily presidents wait until the very last weeks their presidency to start doling out pardons and commutations but as with all else this white house does things a little differently and pardons are no except said last friday the president granted maricopa county sheriff joe arpaio a supporter of his full pardon and no not for some personal transgression or indiscretion but for refusing to comply with a federal judge that ordered our peo to stop racially profiling hispanics for an

inside perspective on the sheriff sean stone sat down with kevin both an award winning documentary and documentary filmmaker who spent extensive time with the sheriff. given or start by asking you how did you decide to feature sheriff joe arpaio in your documentary american drug war that was made about ten years ago in a well you know when you're trying to when you're investigating the drug war it's easy to find people that want to come on camera and speak against it what's hard to find are people that will come on camera and speak pro drug war right and all those people tend to like hide you know behind their offices and you know you know really get these few. come on camera sheriff joe turned out to be the one guy who not only would come on camera but he would talk loud and proud about it had drug war slogans painted on tanks and you know he was totally gung ho on the whole thing and so he just seemed like a perfect characters to fill that niche in the film so if you're a jew admits that about sixty percent of the two million american prison population

are there because of drug related offenses how does he justify this in what is his logic for the rational of lucky of these people over drugs i don't know they justifies it i think he just sees himself as like a man doing the job he's been elected to do and you know he's carved out a role he carved out a real niche for him self in phoenix ca like so most like the perfect place for him if you've been to phoenix or know people who live in phoenix so i love i love all that by the way. but you know it's kind of like a little safe haven in it is crazy because most of all the men that i met intensity were either in there for dui or math and phoenix has a lot of that and so you know i didn't see like the big immigration thing when i was there ten years ago so would you characterize sheriff joe is putting on an act or does he actually believe in preserving as many people as possible. i think it look i think he's a ham for the camera i think i mean he obviously loves media attention he knows how to play it up and i think he has

a sense of like being outrageous and knowing that if he's outrageous that he's going to keep getting all this coverage that he gets and the coverage help someone keep getting reelected and it's you know he's he's become like learn how to like play the p.r. machine and. and i am pretty sure he's figured out a way to profit from all of his prison activities you know a lot of people or claiming everything from like. making money off the old food that they were serving people to making money off the clothes in the pink underwear and and he was even selling you know pink underwear with men. or go joe slogans on me when i was there he was he sells postcards with his name on it he gets it all the prisoners sign it so it's a weird situation you know i myself of if i was crossing the desert with drugs in my car which i would never do i would avoid maricopa county like the plague we know the economy's you talking about economies you're talking the prison economies and you know obviously that there are full fledged economies that exist for trading and

getting goods and services but how much the sheer joy actually control of facilitating the economy that is jail yeah absolutely i mean every day we're cutting off pornography i mean i when i was there they cut off men a lot they wouldn't allow the men to have catch up you know and so he is really come down so i you know i don't know what's going on with like drugs or cigarettes or all that but. i mean he you controls everything that goes in or out of there i think a lot a lot harder than other jails well he's the tories for running a tough jail he prides himself on it but how much do you think she believes in corporal punishment yeah i think he said what i asked him why do you treat the men that are still not convicted yet differently and he's like we're not running an airline here we don't have a first class and coach or equal opportunity punishment system here and so i think he looks at the jail as. one you know i don't think many people spend more than

maybe one or two years in there i think that's a maximum so he's going to make it as rough as possible did you ever get a sense of racism from sheriff joe the drugs were really like a black latino problem or an immigrant problem how i went in there with the whole opinion that it was going to be a very racist type situation but when i got there actually like a majority of the men were white i was surprised i mean there are some spandex and blacks in there but there was a mostly white man that i that i talked to and i think this is before he started his immigration patrols you know. been watching that unfold but you know i mean you know once again if you know phoenix and like the kind of people that have voted for him over and over again for the last twenty four years you know there's definitely are racist by is there but i kind of look at him as you know i mean you can blame him for the racism but it's almost as if he was just the right man for the right job it seems to me that

a lot of this language around the immigrant phobia that we've been seeing has to do with drugs and gangs coming out from latin america but how much do you think this sentiment was at the heart of the american drug war. yeah i mean i definitely think you know the way keeps getting reelected is to paint this nightmarish picture ca like what trump is don of the border. and yeah he's definitely turned this man of people into the bogeyman for all the you know the rich are white people of phoenix who want to protect their little kingdom and and so he became the guy that guarded the castle for everybody and you know and he got all this press out of it he became a hero and you know i think in a way it's almost as horrible as that is he was kind of brilliant in the way he did his p.r. but in the sense it seems he is the personification of the american drug war fears of black people poor people immigrants anyone that basically could

go crazy and overthrow the system or harm or social system that has to be controlled you know what i found interesting is when i talked to more and more e he was first of all these ten years ago he was pro medical marijuana. you know he had no problems you know it talked about drugs but he you know if it did become like the crime issue and all that but i think you know to me the most inhumane thing about tent city or the sheriff joe prison was making people who are suffering drug addiction to sit in a place like tent city where they need a rehab so you know he was definitely like anti-rape. pro punishment as far as people who probably just needed medical help but for those who don't know what is tent city tent city was share of joe's little private concentration camp that he built in a giant parking lot outside of one of the prison facilities there south of phoenix and he put up a bunch of army tents and you know in the summer get up to be about one hundred thirty degrees in the summer people so their shoes would melt the fans didn't work

i mean when it wasn't hot some of the men would prefer it i you know i heard stories of being inside of the jails where a guy used to put toothpaste as yours at night to keep the cockroaches out some really like awful stories from all of it so besides the heat i think some of them actually preferred to be out intensity except you know in the dead of summer so but it was in joe you used to like love to tell people that complain about the heat that that our soldiers are in iraq and it's hotter in iraq and you know how dare you complain when they're not complaining and they're fighting for your freedom and that was his logic and this is where he was detaining those presumed illegal immigrants the ones without due process those intensity that's what i've heard yeah that's what i've heard of the day it seems to me that churchill actually beyond getting reelected he really wants to have national attention i mean he made a name for him so we have to obama on the birth certificate issue why does he care so much about this national persona for himself. you know after i was there he had

his own reality show i don't know if you ever saw the sheriff joe reality show so i don't know i think he's just like anybody else i think he is a good bit of a ham you know i mean he's he could have been cast on the sopranos you know i mean he's he's like an italian gangster i learned that he died when his mother was born here that. you know he talks about eating spaghetti and meatballs all the time and you know he's. i think he just loves the attention like just anybody else and he found a way to get a lot of attention make him so he made himself famous i mean look how famous he is since you're a jew aside. how much is the american drug war really just about corporal punishment and social controls. oh i mean i believe at the end of the day the war on drugs is all about just controlling the profit margins of alcohol tobacco pharmaceutical companies. that's really what it's all about i mean you know first of all the marijuana. the reason they they are really fighting so hard to keep

marijuana illegal is because everybody can grow it and it cures just about everything so once that cat gets out of the bag the pharmaceutical tobacco and alcohol companies are going to take a massive hit probably already are and it's obvious because you can see they're already aligning themselves to get in the marijuana business so you know what else do you do now and so when you're fighting a war you need the soldiers you guys who love obedience and hierarchy guys like sheriff joe you know i mean like i said i mean not everybody wanted to have their face out there because they i think deep down inside they know what they're doing is wrong or sheriff joe almost likes being like the tony soprano character he likes being like a lovable psychopath a killer. and he just filled a perfect niche for the for the places this you know big city right on the border people want to protect the border the whole thing i mean he was like the right man for the right job to do groucho's decision to pardon sheriff joe. i don't know and i you know the end of the day he's eighty five years old and i don't really know

how much prison time he actually would have done i think it was the whole thing was more of a symbolic gesture. i don't know i know a lot a lot of worse people have gotten pardoned so you know i don't really have an opinion about that you know i i know it's pissed a lot of people off i can see why it's bissell lot of people off but i think this whole thing is more symbolic than anything else. students from across the world gathered for a competition held by idea architect you must get his latest for a diffuser as i'm not hyper i live by transportation system involving pods an airlift. well. then surely we'll get to her. uncomfortably from washington d.c. to new york city in twenty nine minutes the teams built the pods and must team built the must team built the tracks a german team created the winning pod which at speeds of over two hundred miles an hour breaking hyperloop previous record and if you wonder why this is new as i'll let you answer that the reason i love these things is it's because it makes me excited to to wake up in the morning and you need these things you need these
