we're. coming up on r t the terrorism threat level in the u.k. now at the highest level after an explosion injured dozens in london this morning we'll have the latest. and the sirens are sounding in japan after north korea fired a missile through the country's airspace prompting south korea to call on the u.n. for a security council to have an emergency meeting we'll have the latest including reaction from the white house. and then protest in st louis after a police officer is found not guilty in the death of a black man that and more in today's race in america with ashley banks.

it's friday september fifteenth five pm in washington d.c. i'm manila chan you're watching our team america we begin this hour in the u.k. where officials have raised the country's terror alert level to the highest level critical this comes after an explosion on a london tube train during morning rush hour injuring at least twenty nine people the islamic state now claims the explosion was carried out by an affiliated unit witnesses report seeing a fireball tear through the carriage officers say the device only partially detonated and the destruction could have been far worse. still. steve case.

is. the baby even with the mom. in. the matter how it's being declared a counterterrorism related incident. r.t. correspondent not a necessity a truck and a has been following the story out of london she filed this report just before moments before the u.k. officials raised the threat level. we're still outside parsons green tube station which is just behind me behind that cordoned off area where journalists have been parking all throughout this morning when after an explosive device went off inside one of the trains on the district line at eight twenty am this morning this device detonated partially raising lots of questions about whether or not more damage

could have been caused how did it exploded fully we do know that a manhunt is currently underway officials have not made a mistake or the terms of a possible suspect or arrests haven't been made quite yet we do know that to british prime minister theresa me stood out for a meeting where this situation with our allies the threat level remains at severe that means that a terrorist attack is highly likely but this will be kept under review is the investigation progresses and the public should go about their daily lives but remain vigilant and people who are traveling in london will see an increased peace presence on the transport network and they will see security will be increased in the police will of course do what is necessary to protect the public while we have to of course keep in mind that this is indeed the fifth terror related incident to take place in the u.k. within recent months really causing lots of concern and the scene earlier today one day after the explosion took place was indeed quite chaotic eye witnesses have

described it as a stampede when people were trying to get out of the house he said the crowd funding was imported earlier today that as many as two hundred fifty people were evacuated not in relation to this incident but certainly twenty two people had been taken to hospitals including children and this is what eyewitnesses have been saying of the secret here today. is the sound explosion sound i cannot tell oh say probably to sit next to tosha not carry just a few jumping over all the like but the other choices in the fall jumping into the speech jumping into of appeal. to you in the sky. well while this investigation continues obviously trying to figure out who specifically was behind this attack whether it was one individual or several people those questions are yet to be answered one of the officials to have reacted to this latest incident in london was u.s. president donald trump who not only true to fashion referred to terrorists as quote

losers but he also seemed to have taken a job at the way british officials have been handling the situation it seems because he has somehow insinuated that this particular person behind the setup could have been in the sights of scotland yard referring to previous cases where it was in fact revealed the people involved in attacks that had taken place in the u.k. or somehow monitored by officials yet were still able to carry out these attacks theresa may did reiterate to this that an investigation is ongoing right now so it's too early to comment but this is certainly something that's going to be watched as an investigation continues. now more and more people have been sharing their experiences online from the london underground explosions this morning let's take a listen to how some of those people described the attack i just suddenly saw lots of people running towards me comic to panic mode i knew that something state is a top and. most of the times to explain.

sorry you. just had to run for my life at parsons green stage huge center in los angeles. i saw people jumping not caring when i think that. they would leave the factory and. it was not shouting and screaming it's a bit of a crush stay there into the streets some people are still trying. to stop people from i mean. people were helping each other. and turning now to north korea the u.s. is turning up the international pressure at the u.n. for. other nations to carry out what ambassador nikki haley calls concrete action against north korea after its most recent missile launch halley a national security adviser h r mcmaster teased a special upcoming week at the un with a u.s. delegation including president onil trump as kim jong un's the recent missile

launch demonstrates north korea remains one of the world's most urgent and dangerous security problems it is vital that all nations work together to do our utmost to solve the problem without all turned over to ambassador hill it is a new day at the u.n. the u.n. has shifted over the past several months it's not just about talking it's about action the members are starting to get used to act whether it security council resolutions whether it's with u.n. reform whether it's with peacekeeping we're starting to feel a lot of changes that the u.n. they are all anxious to see what the u.s. delegation looks like next week and i think they will be heavily impressed with the fact that we have the president the vice president the secretary of state many members of the national security council coming to really show the u.s. strength that we have in the world for more on north korea's missiles and the u.n. response we have our teams came up and the missile has touched down in the pacific ocean at this point they're calling it an unidentified missile we are getting some

new details about the missile itself it actually traveled a total of two thousand three hundred miles that's three thousand seven hundred kilometers before falling into the pacific ocean and that it reached an altitude of four hundred eighty miles into the sky and many are suspecting that this is a response to the united nations security council recently there were new sanctions imposed on the d.p. r. k. at the u.n. security council north korea promised a response this is being seen by many people as that response now we're also hearing from south korea the president of south korea has called for an emergency meeting of the u.n. security council to discuss this. recent a lot with the general assembly in full swing here in the month of september with the big week many world leaders speaking in the following week so this is quite a time for an action like this to take place all eyes are on the united nations and on the korean peninsula and joining me now to discuss more on north korea we've got

former pentagon official friend of the show michael maloof always good to see you. two weeks to launch is kim of provocative behavior leaves the u.s. with very limited options at this point on what to do what in your opinion are those options well i think we've almost exhausted. diplomatic options except one which i will go into but in terms of sanctions i think we've reached a limit on sanctions the latest bit of sanctions which was very strenuous which the u.s. offered was actually watered down by. china and russia i don't think they can go any further and both russia and china realize that they really really push sanctions at home or really wanted to go full bore with sanctions it would bring down the regime and that's when kim jong un could lash out. i think now and need to be there is room for more diplomacy contrary to what nikki haley the u.s.

ambassador to the u.n. has to say i think we should i think the china and russia should convene take the initiative take call a meeting of powers up there and with your u.s. invited and have what donald trump referred to invite him to have a hamburger i call it a hamburger summit and hamburger diplomacy and heard a plume of sea and sit down and start talking and have face to face offer full diplomatic relations i know some people say where you're rewarding him for this yeah well his his his north korea's notion is to. try to. gain greater leverage and i think that if he can be assured that there is not going to be an attack on his country or or regime change maybe that might have a subtly in effect challenge him to have full diplomatic relations if that doesn't work then i think any future then the united states' position will be that any

future missile launch may be shut down so i mean as you said some people watching they're going to say that by offering kim jong un full diplomatic relations to reinstate those is rewarding him for bad behavior and what would you say then to our allies who would be against allowing full diplomatic relation well the question then arises what are the further options short of military action and they don't have an answer for that so i think even the strongest critics of north korea are beginning to come around and suggest well maybe we need to sit down with the guy and talk and see what's on his mind gentler with him well no to sit down and talk and confront him and say ok we're here here's what we're prepared to offer and what will you give us in return and and see if you use that as a basis maybe with the hope of trying to freeze his is a missile and new development program with the ultimate goal of trying to dismantle

i think he would be he may never dismantle but he may stop testing i mean a you got to wonder if the way to accomplish anything here is to kind of get in his head and understand what it is that he wants does he want a global recognition as a legitimate government he wants respect when we have to kind of figure that out i don't think a lot of people know what that is just yet hence why they had the u.n. security council emergency meeting today from that meeting what do you think is going to come from because i don't think they were talking about what might be going through kim jong un's mind could maybe. not know yet but i don't know what other options are. and i have they can impose greater sanctions so they can talk about it now and make strident talk and maybe a consensus can be reached that well maybe we need to if the un is actually offered to convene a sit down meeting. of all the parties involved north korea u.s.

china russia maybe that needs to be the next step hopefully that could be something that could be put forward glad you brought them up what do you think will be china and russia as ultimate role here moving forward from today on after the second launch well i think they realize that if they impose greater sanctions the regime will fall as a said earlier i think they can't go any further otherwise he will he will start using missiles because that will be because he will feel that the west in the world is against him they want to bring down the regime and solving interprets it i think that we have to get into his mind we have to know what he's thinking sit down and talk to him and determine from that what needs to be done. so far that has not occurred you got to think that perhaps the trump administration doesn't want to seem like they're giving him his cake and letting this guy eat it too so we have to wait and see after today's what do you have to lose we have to list somewhere i guess right we don't have to lose if we sit down and talk to him we lose if we have

to should start a war that is true great last words thank you so much former pentagon official michael maloof. coming up later on our t.v. clean up for a tape harvey had are about far from over and our fears of air and water borne disease are rising state of texas will be right back with more on that. all the world. and all the news companies merely players but what kind of partners are into the american play. r.t. america offers more r.t. america personally. in many ways the news landscape is just like you see it real news big names good actors bad actors and in the end you could never you're on. the park and all the world's a stage all the world's a stage all the world's

a stage and we are definitely a player. people have got to know whether or not fair presenter supply american people deserve to know what real difference at this point does it may must guard against the military industrial war we shall never let go. or should know that. we do what we. think. future. i'm tom hartman and i'll give you what the mainstream media can't so big picture.

please take. the lead and when question more find what you're looking for this little. dog. will go deeper investigate and debate all so you can get the big picture. in the wake of hurricane harvey more than eighty people dead twenty seven trillion gallons of water dumped on affected areas millions still without power or clean drinking water countless numbers cannot yet return back to their homes more than two weeks now after the storm now fears of disease and illness are spreading through the lone star state and joining me now to explain yvette ariano she is from a grassroots advocate with us at the texas admire mental justice advocacy services

in that thanks for being with us today so you were out there in houston one of the hard hit communities can you tell us what sort of cleanup efforts are currently underway. well currently there are still one hundred sixty one boil water notices and about forty percent of the water treatment facilities are still in operable we focus our work on the east side of houston that is home to the largest petrochemical complex in the entire nation and within this area there's absolutely no zoning so there is no restrictions over constructing homes schools or hospitals right next to refineries chemical plants pipelines and other and us real facilities so the floodwaters that affected these areas have a higher probability of carrying toxic substances along with the bacteria notices that have been going on in these areas those bacteria notices include cholera eco

and typhoid and of one of the low income housing projects over on the east side of houston clayton homes in a single unit there were about levels of e. coli were above one hundred thirty five what the normal average is so these waters are highly toxic and there's very little communication going on between the local agencies the texas environment commission on environmental quality which is the t.c. hugh and the e.p.a. they're working in conjunction with each other in order to address the issues but what we find is that they reach these areas which are low income people of color communities that are low resource at the very end so it is our organizational along with the polish in four other communities that are working here on the ground trying to get efforts whether that reentry kits for people who are once again re

entering their homes who are getting their homes because and behold it only takes twenty four hours for mold to start forming in. home so coming back to toxic conditions. and yet the state and even the e.p.a. are very slow to act i think so it sounds like a lot of what you guys are doing as well are also informing the community so they're aware that these things are out there and now there's there's also a greater pollution problem already existing in areas of places like like crosby taxes can you tell us a little bit more about that right and wrong you have an organic plant that had three fires that weren't set by any local issues the first two have been on thursday night early september. and the last one happened on friday somewhere around five pm an additional six spiers were set by local

officials along with homeland security and the texas commission on the burma quality these were supposed to be sustained fires but what ended up happening was that you had only a mile and a half of the new back to a and a much larger portion. up to seven miles was actually exposed to anything that was burned up up to date our conversations with the e.p.a. have only let us know that so well are they believe that the plume was nontoxic. wow so they believe these also. are. right and so these other run efforts but i already know the sation has again with a coalition of other organizations that have filed a lawsuit against the e.p.a. for not being acting the chemical disaster will that is the or impede rule which would allow community members and community organizations to have full access to

the volume of substances being held at chemical facilities the types of substances and to form of accusation plant along with plant officials in order to have updated new cases now under this administration the trumpet ministration there was originally a day delay but then turned into a night in play at this point we are at a twenty minutes delayed under this administration there is going to delay on actually in the forcing the safety mechanisms that are supposed to go into effect and protect our mitty's behind communities right next to these refineries and chemical plants and the actual piece of legislation right now currently sitting in the u.s. court of appeals the courts themselves has found this situation in such a disastrous event that they've expedited their rulings for hopefully early summer while thank you so much for sharing your eyewitness accounts of all this you're

there on the ground event ariano grassroots advocate with texas and byron metal justice advocacy services thank you so much for sharing with us. social media is of course becoming more and more and more and more popular these days now scientists say the photos that you post may say more about you than you think new research suggests that instagram photos can determine if you're depressed or not are just trying to chavez or explain figuring out how someone feels might be as easy as looking at the pictures they take researchers at harvard university at the university of vermont claim instagram photos can be used to identify depression in this particular study we looked at visual data to try and understand if we could. identify predictors of. mental health problems the scientists looked at more than forty three thousand instagram photos posted by one hundred sixty six study participants about how of those users had been clinically diagnosed with depression

at the time they were posting pictures on their instagram account the researchers wanted to compare the posts of the depressed users to the healthy participants to see exactly what qualities they had in common they found when a person was feeling blue it's photos would also turn blue grey or even darker and possibly contain less spaces their findings also show that instagram filter such as the lens see which gave the images of war warm brighter tone was chosen by the healthy individuals where as well which makes your photos black and white was the most common filter among depressed people suggesting people who suffer with depression are more likely to choose a filter that removed all the color from the pictures they wanted to post depression is a problem that hundreds of millions of people around the world deal with many of them don't have access to a psychiatrist. most of them have mobile phones and they use their phone to conduct the business of their day to analyze these clues the research team built a tool to sort users based on these traits by using color analysis method data

components and algorithmic face detection the program identified people with depression seventy percent of the time compared to the general practice doctors who . only successfully diagnosed their patients with the pression around forty percent of the time a g.p. you know it's been ten minutes with every couple of years typically if you're doing all right and. a difficult task they're not trained so. the fact that algorithm was able to do a little bit better than a jew wasn't particularly surprising to us but you know it does indicate that there's some promise using this type of technology to get people in front of a doctor sooner although this program is not perfect researchers say that this can be an inexpensive way to substitute mental health screenings especially for those people with limited or no access to psychiatry reporting in new york trinity chavez r.t. and the toronto international film festival is in its final days now and this year

the saying art imitates life can be seen in many of the films especially when you consider the state of the world today from individual struggles to international issues all facets recovered and archaeology hile of it is with us now in toronto to break it all down are alex before we get into the movies for you know we're not quite siskel and ebert but tell us about some of the highlights of tift twenty seventh you know we're going to try to do our best right. look at this this festival takes over toronto i mean and so many different ways not only are there tons of celebrities in the city but many of the movie theaters participate in this as well as the fact the city is just more a lot of restaurants are packed our last call for am so you see people out at all hours and there's tons of parties going on but let's break it down the festival itself i mean look half a million people a year attend this festival if you look at the numbers just just of the number of films three hundred forty films this year two hundred thirty eight of those films

premier here one hundred forty seven of those were world premieres and get this over seven thousand films were submitted so that to whittle it down to the number that we have that were actually screened that's not that. seventy four countries participating but let's not forget to visit actually a year round thing in toronto there's a place called the bell lightbox here that screens films like this all year through is just that during these ten days tronto becomes the epicenter of film i'd say for the world because there's just so much action here it's unbelievable and there's people from absolutely everywhere that are involved not only the process of tip but in the filmmaking that goes behind it happened million people that sure is a lot now as we mentioned at the top many of the movies reflected the state of the world as it is today what were some of the most memorable in this respect for you you know you think about movies there's always some sort of conflict be a dumb or dumber dumb and dumber or be a precious pawn flick drives movies that's just the way it is but you know this is

i think the way that tip touched upon things or some of these movies really. with the directors it was the filmmakers that really i think wanted to be in touch with what's going on the world today and i'm going strong with a movie called good luck now this movie's directed by ben russell it's a french or german production one of the most boring movies i've ever seen in my whole entire life i swear to you but at the end of the movie you are while you're like this i came out a different person it's about two different minds the first hour you're in a copper mine in serbia the second a gold mine and surname and you're basically real time you're going down at the mine with the miners you're drilling for copper it is pouring you've been but your mind is working the whole time and it was extremely effective to get that message through not only what these people have submitted to but just basically given up on life and the boredom is oh my god just incredible happened after that i swear to you it is i know it sounds awful but i was actually really good the second movie is loveless now this is about family conflict a child of parents getting divorced it's

a russian for french german and belgian production andriy they get is the director a very famous director and an incredible director the movie as european movies are something that we're not. in north america can be very dark and that's not always a happy ending i'm not saying that this one wasn't happy ending but sometimes european movies don't have happy endings next what will people say actually met the director era mohawk she's from norway she's a pakistani background the production is norwegian german in sweden. incredible movie about you know we've heard the story before a child getting taken from a country taken back to their of the homeland so this story is about a girl taken back to pakistan to learn the old way of things the being done that not being too westernized but there's a twist there at the father is the interesting character not necessarily the main character the girl and finally you can talk about shaikh jackson is the just an egyptian production about and a mom who falls in love or who loved michael jackson all of life and that is in

this conflict the state when michael jackson dies it was amazing quick quote board this is from cameron bailey he's the artistic director of this is a city where half the people here were born in canada it's really fascinating cosmetology paul did mix of people from all over the world different languages different cultures different histories and that reflects the festival lineup and that truly does that's what makes canada mazing and that's what makes tron amazing for a festival like this it truly is international so you have audiences from the city that relate to all these different countries and it's really the sort of multicultural mash up that makes for a fantastic festival and i hope you can come next year so that we can be siskel and ebert together yeah i would love that can i get an invite next time hello thanks so much or invited you here with this assignment alex lyall this reporting for us out of toronto thank you thank you. giving up on our team protesting getting in a st louis missouri neighborhood as a former officer is found not guilty of first degree murder will. repeat

a far different rap. that we are embracing america coming up. there's a real irony going. to let him play i think i'm responsible for poisoning people and there's always more that's what charges the cops always say and seems to teach you laugh at all the ordinary no wholesale surveillance you feel you have all made while there's two to three shows you stand trial that's used social media like they're going to start this story because it's garbage real soon. what politicians do such as. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express. some want to listen. to the right to be close this is what the four three of the four can be good. i'm

interested in the was. there should. i think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments understands that we're telling stories that our critics can't tell and you know why because their advertisers won't let them. in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth parties able to do that every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out there to the american public what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical chills people when a company in the environmental business ends up polluting a river that causes cancer and other illnesses they put all the health risk all the

dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell every week and you know what they're working. all right guys it's time now for our weekly segment called race in america with ashley banks actually joining us now actually what do you have on the agenda today hey there manila so right now on race in america we will be discussing law enforcement in america first let's go to baltimore where jurors acquitted a police officer who was accused of kicking and spitting on a suspect during an arrest reaching a verdict and less than half an hour the officer twenty nine year old christopher spivey face four counts of second degree assault each carrying up to ten years and prison the state's attorney's office claims spivey used excessive force against

twenty year old de'monte tae kwan for rar kicking him as he got on the ground to surrender and while he was being handcuffed the incident occurred following a lengthy car chase and involving a stolen vehicle back in january. now to missouri where we have live coverage right now where protests have erupted and the city of st louis and the national guard is on standby following the acquittal of former police officer jason stokely thirty six year old stokely was charged with first degree murder in the case of twenty four year old anthony lamar smith shortly after the verdict was passed down several hundred protesters reportedly blocked a highway ramp and popular intersection near the courthouse as they marched through the city local news reports police deployed pepper spray against several protesters and the early afternoon this verdict was handed down even despite calls for the officers conviction from the ethical society of police

a police union founded by african-american officers to address racial disparities in the city according to the probable cause statement used in the case surely before the incident stokely said he was going to kill this blank using explicit language to describe smith the court document continued to say stokely approached smith the window firing a five times into the vehicle hitting smith with each shot and killing him additionally prosecutors say a firearm was found in smith's car but it was later determined to only have the also thirds d.n.a. on it you know some activists in st louis they pledged quote masses the rupture and if stokely was acquitted that wing that the outcome would look a lot like ferguson the potential for unrest has a grip the st louis region ever since ferguson officer derren wilson shot and killed unarmed eighteen year old michael brown back in twenty four thirteen. now to

ohio where criminology professor from bowling green state university has created all one of a kind police crime database the database was made public this week covering a comprehensive look and sound how often american cops are arrested the data collected by professor philip stenson covers the arrest records of close to seven thousand police officers from two thousand and five to two thousand and twelve the data covers more than two thousand state local and special wand force and agencies across the nation which is only a fraction of the eighteen thousand law enforcement agencies in the u.s. what's alarming is that since and found more than a half of the reasons why these officers were arrested was due to violence over the last few years u.s. residents have lost their lives to law enforcement including keep lamont's got eric garner enteric richer just to name a skill many cited the officers with using excessive force prompting protests and calls for the resignation of many officers as a result the d.o.j.

investigated various departments finding some police departments like those in baltimore chicago participated in walsall patterns and practices and did regularly use excessive force on the victim would be criminal why having their entire criminal history brought the forefront so in many of these high profile cases like the ones i just mentioned they won't usually end without a conviction however this new database now takes a closer look at police corruption and the criminal history that u.s. officers have which could result in more convictions for officers joining me now to discuss this further still of sense and himself a criminology professor at bowling green state university thank you so much for joining me faster. it's my pleasure i want to start with out what influence you ahd to want to create this database. well actually before i went to grad school to earn a doctorate in criminology i had practiced law been an attorney for about

a decade and prior to that i was a police officer and i'd certainly been aware of numerous incidents where police officers and gauged in criminal activity so when i returned to graduate school i decided that this was an area i wanted to explore a little bit closer to see if i could make something of it in terms of a ph d. dissertation and then when i joined the faculty of bowling green about nine years ago i decided to continue the work and one of the results of that is the publicly available database that we launched earlier this week with your background with your career background after gathering that the research for the database what would you say was the most shocking finding i think the thing that surprised me the most is i had always assumed that if a police officer were arrested just arrested for any crime at all that that would be pretty much the end of their career and what we found is that's just not the case we literally have hundreds and hundreds of officers who've been arrested multiple times during their law enforcement career and haven't lost their job we had a case earlier this week that came to our attention of

a officer who was arrested just earlier this month and we found that we already had him in our database the officer was arrested over a decade ago and we're very surprised to see that they're still working in law enforcement so i think that's probably the most surprising thing that that i've encountered saying that what an impact do you expect this database to have when it comes to want to force me do you foresee officers getting fired or do you see more convictions taking place in the future. well i'm not sure that we see either of those things one of the poor purposes here is to bring transparency to the whole issue of police crime criminality by police officers you know people look at newspaper articles they listen to the evening news in their own communities across the united states and they read and hear about incidents where an officers arrested in they generally think well that's an odd situation but that certainly doesn't happen very often what they don't realize is that it seems to happen about eleven hundred times a year across the country were officers arrested for one or more crimes so what we've done that hasn't been done in the past is aggregated all of that data into

a database that's now publicly available and it's searchable on the internet so for no cost so we want people to be able to look at the database search the database and really sort of see if they can determine how big a problem is create police crime in their own communities you say this research haven't been collected like this and made it public in the past on your opinion what reasons do you believe that it is well it's very time consuming it's expensive and it takes an awful lot of human resources a whole lot of time to put something together this is something that i've been working on for thirteen years we couldn't do the public database without a large staff i have a staff of fourteen student research assistants currently and we have grant money that gave us the opportunity to hire an application developer we spent the better part of a year just building the database that's after we gathered all the data coded the data analyze the data so we've got eight years of data right now two thousand and five through two thousand and twelve that are in the public database and each year

we'll be adding new cases we wait several years before we add them to the public database because we're interested in the final criminal case dispositions we're interested in the final adverse employment outcomes and it takes time it's very very time consuming and it's labor intensive right now i am interested to know why did you name the database after the former vice president henry wallace. well right well henry wallace was the thirty fourth vice president of united states he was vice president under f.d.r. in the mid one nine hundred forty s. vice president wallace was a man who stood for accountability in government he was interested in people being able to stand up for themselves he was interested in people understanding how government works so currently our research is funded by a foundation that's headed by one of president wallace's grandsons randall wallace and we're very lucky to have that funding so before we launched the website i had lengthy discussions with mr wallace about this and we thought it would be very very

appropriate to name the database in honor of his grandfather you know when you created this database did you have a particular group in mind that you wanted. to view your database when it came to like lawyers their officers or victims police brutality was there anyone in particular and what you wanted to look at the database. well if i really thought it through that much in terms of who's looking at the database there is another version of the database that's available to university affiliated researchers people who want to do secondary data analysis so this isn't that version of the database this is one that we really think of just the general public getting to understand the nature of the problem not only in their own community but across the country and one of the unique aspects of this public database is that includes searchable heat maps in other words you can. direct what type of search terms you want to conduct with the database and the map will change in front of you based on states and counties within states so it's really

a dynamic database it's very interactive and we're interested to see how people use it it's something that i'm really not too sure how it's going to be used but we're looking forward to the months ahead and see what sort of feedback we get from all walks of life people all across the country and by the way we have had visitors to the website this week from i think twenty six countries already so it's something where there's international interest as well all right south definitely definitely it's very interesting and obviously one of a kind thank you so much professor philip now philip cents an associate professor in the criminal justice program at bowling green state university thank you so much . my pleasure. well dad said for race in america i'm actually bank follow me on twitter ashley banks underscore r t don't forget to question more back to manila thanks for that ash just one day after a chaos erupted at u.c. berkeley controversy is now surrounding harvard after the university's school of government rescinded a visiting fellow ship to chelsea manning argues that tosh is sweet explains how it

all stems from the cia director's reaction to her invite her words kennedy school of government back pedals on their visiting fellowship to chelsea manning this morning harvard dean douglas elmendorf insisted the university did not intend to honor her in any way or endorse her words or deeds as we do not honor or endorse any fellow he said in a statement he admits quote i now think that there's a navy and healthy man as a visiting fellow was a mistake in the statement elmendorf confirms the university's withdrawal of the visiting fellow invitation and the perceived honor it implies to some people he did however extend the invitation for manning to spend the day at the kennedy school and also speak in the forum and many were spotted to the dean statements in a tweet saying quote honored to be the first disturbed by the trans woman visiting harvard fellow feel marginalized voices and or cia pressure passed we've got this

well it all stems from cia director my pump a zero canceling his harvard appearance at the eleventh hour specifically citing harvard fellowship to manning and pump ailes letter of the size canceling quote has nothing to do with mismanages identity as a transgender woman but it has everything to do with her identity as a traitor to the united states of america she says miss manning husband trade her country and was found guilty of seventeen serious crimes for leaking classified information to wiki leaks well in the past one pale has called wiki leaks a hostile intelligence agency the very agency manning has leaked confidential military and state department documents to no word yet on if many will speak at the university's forum in washington to talk this week r.t. . in dallas texas yesterday workers removed a six ton statue of confederate general robert e. lee from the robert lee park police reportedly stood by to provide workers with

protection after the dallas city council voted thirteen to one to remove the monument which despite standing in line park since one thousand thirty six has been called a symbol of injustice by city officials and this comes a month after a white supremacist faced faced off rather with counter protesters at a rally in charlottesville virginia where demonstrators demonstrations were prompted following the decision to remove the least hachoo in emancipation part of the violence in charlottesville revived a national debate about the legitimacy of pro-slavery confederate statues throughout the country. and we will be back with more news on our team america after this short break stay with us we'll be right back. with the job you want. to get it. so we want to expose.

wanted. to. see what. you get. to see. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you were yourself in taken your last. year after caught up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry. so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got a chance to. i remember when we first met my life turned on each person. but then my feeling started to change you talked about more like it was a kid still some martial law. those that didn't like to question or are. secretly. one does not believe that the same is won in

mind. this. speech. aimed at mainstream media has met its maker. for decades the american middle class has been railroaded by washington politics i'll make sure you don't get railroaded you'll get a break in the break. i'm going to be. you're. a sex robot manufacturer in the u.k.

and shocked a morning show when he brought one of his so-called models with him he explained in detail how his wife and even as children interact with some mantha socially that is socially as you can imagine the reaction was less than favorable so of course joining me now to discuss all this is legal and media analyst of the show lionel of lionel media light on my friend it's been weeks we've been kind of silent on this subject so what's really the issue here seriously with this what this guy did. well it's friday i must be sex robots and i want to first of all seriously i want to congratulate you on one thing it's very difficult for some people to talk about this subject without giggling without feeling nervous but i want people to understand that context we're not bringing this topic up because it's kind of titillating on a lot of friday this is all over the world there are organizations campaigns

against sex robots there's a a a a a a london feminist organization media about this there is legislation that is being passed against this i want everyone to understand this there is no apply is there is no smartphone by the way it's i phone tag that acts but there's but but there's no roll out of anything that will fundamentally affect people more than this because of anthropomorphism ethics laws and the idea of why are you doing this now think about this nobody is saying this manila they're not saying look at some machine is not human what's the big deal so what do you do whatever you want it's a machine they're not doing it and let me tell you something in and i know you

wonder stand this when artificial intelligence really kicks in add we're talking this taking off exponentially you're going to see these things you're not even robots you'll be seeing stories about it you'll be seeing features about it not just sex but robots that aren't even robots that are so human so human like you will see a very scary psychological psychiatric transformation in some cases this is like nothing we've ever seen before so the. question that we have to ask is what business is it of any government to get involved in and maybe it is people have to decide there's an ethical or moral or religious alina i should because this this transcends everything but we're talking about a machine basically a machine and i phone a spore a form of a mathematician legal but what are some of those legal issues at hand here. lara's

to prohibit certain ages of an inanimate robot think about this and under age machine that's already in place right now next there are there are hotel makes no sense lionel well it may not theoretically but when you see what's going to happen when you see how lifelike these things are you'll understand people's natural trepidation you're going to have to tell them you know the old expression no animals were harmed during the may. well there are no humans here you also have sex workers actual you. not kidding you worry that maybe they may be affected you also have folks who are saying wait a minute these these machines might in fact save lives maybe horrible predators may go elsewhere there is there's no i phone there's no magic there's no

hope that every elicits this kind of discussion that we're going to also have to ask what is life like what is real this anthropomorphic trends of mutation of our morals to all machines you know i want to sit as we discussed a couple years ago for for the robot takeover special there's a certain drop off in the uncanny valley where people will naturally become disgusted by it and repelled by the looks of any kind of ai or any kind of robot when they look too close to humans and that's about where we're at and it took the last two years and we're finally here and we will talk about this in further detail i'm sure as the weeks go on thank you so much of course always sharing your legal expertise and that wonderful brain of yours we've all media analyst lionel lionel media thank you. after twenty astounding years in space the cassini spacecraft ended its mission exploring the planet of saturn in

what was called the grand finale the tiny little explorer made its last encounter with the gas giant sending as much information back to earth as possible before disintegrating into the second largest planet in our solar system the mission started back in october of one thousand nine hundred seven but it took a scenic seven years to actually get over to saturn after its arrival the crafts that unbelievable images of saturn's planetary rings that's a titan and sell a deuce so look at that so last we'll see of that all right that is going to do it for now for more on the stories we just covered go to youtube dot com forward slash r t america and check out our website r t dot com over flash america you can also follow me on twitter at the edge and right there the number of questions or have a great get.

all the world history and all the news companies merely players but what kind of part is already america playing r.t. america. r.t. america are. many ways. just like. you. actors that. you could never. part the world the world. the world the state we are. i'm tom hartman and i'll give you what the mainstream media can't help the big picture. and when you question more what you're looking for. it.

will go deeper investigate and debate all so you can get the big picture. his name is ken. and well actually it's robert james ritchie but most people know him as kid rock and guess what there's a very good chance he's going to be michigan's next senator earlier this year rumors started to swirl that he might run that he started making kid rock for us then a t. shirt and the speculation has continued to build now he just kicked off

a series of concerts at a new arena in detroit and during the show he's introduced as the next senator and walks out on stage to hail the chief where he goes into a podium surrounded by hot chicks and american flags and delivers a very political speech which indicates just how america here so yeah at the very least he's having fun with the idea of running for congress next year but then he just did something that makes me think not only is he theory of but he could very well win because he just a band i newspaper from one of his concerts yet keep taking aim at the slimy media and to me that spells away since people are so fed up with how sleazy the media is what happened at the detroit free press ran an editorial by their editor steven anderson in titled kid rock opener at little caesars arena is a middle finger to detroit or so just the headline alone is a very biased slap in the face to kid and the whole article is incredibly scathing with a letter of scorned boyfriend good writer something in it henderson compares the

kids concerts to jim crow era signs that the bad blacks weren't welcome he even writes. negro go home which is not something kids that were said henderson is the one who wrote that in fact henderson even does mention in the article how kid gave fifty thousand dollars to detroit organizations and the a.t.p. gave him an award but that still doesn't stop anderson's diatribe about how kid is horrible for race relations in american culture so in response the kid denied the detroit free press credentials when they asked why kids publicist told them quote you guys wrote a story and allowed it to be published you want to quote there it is which is so may rid and which is what everyone wants to do when the press is so one sided and unfair against them but is too afraid to do an r.p.c. culture but not kid he's not afraid to tell the media f you and to call them out

when they're being jerks and for that next year robert james ritchie might go from being kid rock to senator barack. would you have for breakfast why would you put. your wife. what your biggest fear of the right wing so let's talk. or do you see that as the first quarter but. it's one topic so. now i do do due to the word more.

i do not know if the russian state hacked into john podesta e-mails and gave them to wiki leaks but i do know barack obama's director of national intelligence has not provided credible to support his claims of russia i also know he perjured himself in a senate hearing planned. for the revelations provided by edward snowden he denied to be the n.s.a. was carrying out wholesale surveillance of the u.s. . the hyperventilating corporate media has once again proved to be an echo for government claims that cannot be verified you would have thought they would have learned something after serving as george w. bush's useful idiots in the lead up to the big of iraq. it is vitally important that the press remains rooted in a fact based universe especially when we enter an era when truth and fiction are becoming indistinguishable.

greetings and salutations over three hundred fifty years ago dutch scientists christiane discovered the moon titan and that saturn had rings not ears as galileo had theorized then italian scientists jondo many cassini found four of saturn's moons and the separation within saturn's rings now known as the cassini division flash forward a few centuries to when nasa and the european space agency and the italian space agency came to gather for a mission that by that time was already decades in the making the casino.
