it is when you go there and look the locals in the eye speak to the people that suffered so much that you understand why this sacrifice to beat this has been worth it these is the final chapter. french president emanuel micron's ego has been toyed with by time magazine which is pretty on the cover of its latest issue accompanying the photo a flattering inscription that reads the next leader of europe but on closer inspection the covers not quite so forming a footnote below if only he can leave france in chief in the purple of magazine believes the french leader only has himself to blame. some call him a new napoleon i prefer

a jupiter you know jupiter the king of the gods that's probably what he would like better than the polio e's outgunned clearly easy young man from the from the school of the elite and wants to manage. it in a presidential way so he doesn't like for example that trump uses twitter all the time he said so he said you need to distance with the people you know and that's why the people feed this article and some not so they use the sort of word stuff nobody dares uses or it would if they had before you saying it doesn't allow the press to be close to him anymore so the honeymoon with the press is finished the t.v. crew with him only one camera following him everywhere. and that is it you are right up to date appreciate you joining us this evening here on our team to national join me for the latest news headlines and updates at the top of their.

greetings and salyut asian in today's majlis second attention spans and ratings crazed corporate news executives it's expected that a few important news stories can and will fall between the cracks but sometimes there are stories so big that it makes one wonder why oh why and where oh where is all the coverage one of these big stories that most folks across the country and around the world of barely heard a whisper about may. television news media has been the over two month long
1:33 pm
protests taking place in st louis missouri missouri over a judge's acquittal back on september fifteenth of former st louis police officer jason stokely for the shooting death or some argue execution of twenty four year old anthony lamar smith back in two thousand and eleven stokely was charged with first degree murder after shooting the young black man five times following a high speed chase during which the white officer was recorded telling his partner quote we're going to kill this don't you know it to justify the shooting stokely claimed smith was reaching for a gun in his car which prosecutors argue could have actually been planted there after the shooting in the aftermath of the acquittal st louis has seen thousands of protesters take to the streets for months and weeks on end which according to the local fox affiliate has closed large corporate offices shut down restaurants and bars and even forced you to to call up a concert. you know businesses and bars are one thing but if your protest cancels
1:34 pm
a u two concert you think there's really biggest story of the entire fall season so where is all the coverage that the protests in ferguson in baltimore received well some are saying that the answer to that question may lie in the questionable actions of the boys in blue now let's start asking some questions and watching the hawks. at the bottom. like you that i got. with. this. week so. welcome aboard to watch the hawks i am i robot
1:35 pm
for on topic so here we are looking at another set of protests that the didn't make it in the mainstream no no whisper i mean you know the new york times maybe carried a little bit print media kind of touched on it but i haven't seen hide nor hair of . mainstream news television definitely not the cable definitely not the big and it seems like it would be back i mean well when a u two concert my concerts get shut down and business is i mean usually someone at least on the right is definitely going to this whole thing about saying oh you're starting down businesses you would think that but but you know what's what's curious about this especially that it's not it's not businesses you know the protesters are you know kind of going after businesses in their own neighborhoods they're going and making their protests her in the suburbs there's a lot outside of their own neighborhoods in fact one of the biggest things that i think a lot of people like as i live to point to is the police response to these protests people in st louis a protesters on the ground there. media the independent media that's covering it
1:36 pm
are saying this is see how the police are responding these because they're in these areas where you don't normally see protests. in late september protesters shut down a shopping mall in suburban brentwood in st louis police arrested not only protesters but bystanders as well including a thirteen year old to just scoop with everybody. a group of pastors elected officials called for local state and national authorities after this there's there's still rests in this mall the arrest of twenty two protesters in the in the galleria state representative stacey newman of richmond heights exclaimed we are not anti law enforcement but we are against the extreme police tactics that can only be explained as a police or riot that's been the key word they're saying that the police have been like you know it's causing riots you know in these programs they want to bring the violence to it so on september sunday september twenty fourth police had responded
1:37 pm
to protests in downtown downtown and arrested downtown st louis they arrested more than one hundred twenty people on mass just how stupid everyone but also there are being alleged they were assaulted not only dozens of civilians protesting police violence which already makes that odd but also an undercover police officer and a number of journalists awkward so there was an undercover police officer at the protest and he got our us said which assault on the cell and notify police officers which shows the problem there isn't an understanding victims that they're also people had been assaulted and arrested were active duty air force officer who lived nearby who wasn't even participating the protests they were just scooping people up but it was reportedly he said kicked in the face blinded by pepper spray and then ultimately dragged away that is not how we treat our veterans or anybody in this country well i mean you shouldn't treat people like that anywhere and they give years of people executing their first amendment supposedly was the one with protected right of free speech but it's very curious how the. media has has what to
1:38 pm
bet on you know just totally the television news media's pretty much gone to sleep on this and i wonder i wonder to what the tell me if i'm crazy and maybe i am because you know a conspiracy runs in the family but you know tell me if i'm not crazy that it's interesting that in the fall when this is taking place the time or october height of football season when players are taking needs at the national anthem right over police violence towards black folks men and women in this country the oddly the media covered the hell out ahead of fellow players taking in need but they didn't cover what they're taking in the over which was happening in st louis white officers being acquitted of killing young black men and women that we've seen over and over and over and over and over again and that's part of it because the whole story now everything is we don't need news we need the right narrative you don't hear it from politicians like hillary clinton and even even donald trump you hear it from them saying you're not telling the right narrative you're not telling the story and the right way and the truth is that would have made that story make sense
1:39 pm
because if you could have said this it would have proved. you know making this part of the general narrative would have proven collin cabernets point and everyone who took a need for that there was about this because at the end of the day you have to ask yourself why second amendment folks are not supporting every single person who has been shot who had a firearm i don't care if they don't have a license i don't care that they're in a place we have a second amendment in this country and if there's anywhere someone should have the right if second people believe it to protect themselves it's people in neighborhoods that have the most crime and violence and i just don't understand why there isn't some sort of understanding between these two why no one stands up and says you know we've had people who are legally had firearms and not legally but you know if the second amendment is to keep the government from doing these things to oh them using that as an excuse to murder you on the street. really. really
1:40 pm
really need to pay attention to these protests happening. because we're going to cover it. when actress millie bobby brown best known as eleven from the hit netflix series stranger things was listed along such stars as sharlee is thrown alexander scars guard it should have been for her talent and hard work instead it was because a magazine felt milly was one of the reasons quote why t.v. is sexier than ever really bobbi brown is thirteen years old and while her job as a performer does make her a public figure we might want to ask ourselves why we are so quick to sexualize very young men and women in our society but if you think this is just a feminist ranting about the treatment of women you'd be wrong obviously because young men are just as targeted these days so it was hard to place mike on stranger things was rightfully grossed out when twenty seven year old model ali michael decided to be very weird on twitter by sending him the message quote not to be
1:41 pm
weird but hit me up and for years and fans rightfully noted just how disgusting and settling it was c. in two thousand and seven the american cycle off. nicholas o.c.s. and found that girls as young as six see themselves as sexual objects even if they don't fully understand what sex and sexuality even as and as recent news items suggest the victimization of young men is just a serious children even those in the public eye are not objects they are not there to be deemed sexy or desirable they're not toit's perhaps we can be the protectors of the next generation and stead of the predators i couldn't agree more i mean this is this is one of those things were it's like you have to stand back and ask yourself what kind of a society do we live and we're taking a thirteen year old girl you know twelve year old boy and suddenly saying look you know don't they look she slipped her hair back put on a black coat and suddenly she's a sex object she's a teen and then we wonder why we have all this harassment and all these people suddenly getting hit for pedophilia charges and things like that well it doesn't
1:42 pm
help when the media and magazines are out there saying hey look at how sexy these you know twelve and thirteen year old kids are yes i get they're famous of course they should be doing interviews and of course they could be on cover of magazines but there's a difference between putting someone on the cover of a magazine because they're famous and talented right then because they're super hot or good looking that's a line that i don't think anybody wants to cross the bright as it is enough to think about the idea of children as that we've gotten this point where we want to say like oh ok kids are so much mature these damn more mature these days than they were back then it still doesn't excuse a twenty seven year old or a thirty year old or forty year old looking at a thirteen year old and not only just thinking about it but thinking in a public place like twitter and facebook on the front of a magazine that you're sitting there going this seems totally appropriate and it's really sick to me plus i mean the sort of a much larger it is a bigger issue because i mean look let's look at unicef according to unicef approximately sixty thousand adolescent girls die each year as
1:43 pm
a result of violence and one hundred twenty million girls in the world today about one in ten one in. have been victims of rape or sexual acts that is disgusting in a study conducted in two thousand a research was only in university on average across different magazines fifty one point eight percent of the advertisements that featured women portrayed as sex objects however wouldn't jump over to men's magazines and when women appeared in men's magazines they were objectified seventy six percent of the time and that the depiction of women as sex objects who are also victims of aggression in. good word the idea that submission is a desirable trait in a woman good work it's sort of they get stuck in you and you start to see that this idea of submission where it which is when you look at images you know the reason that the you know britney spears school girl hit me baby one more time which has a whole other level on it and why that that has the idea is that it's submissive
1:44 pm
you know that's why catholic school girl thing isn't about anything but submission it's their submissive their young their and that's this idea that we sort of pull with. but then we get to the point where not everything is objectification right and it doesn't mean just not talking about sex i'm not talking about healthy sexuality there's healthy sexuality and understanding and then there's the idea of you know this and actually. back in two thousand and six the american psychological society psychological association task force put together guidelines about how to sort of identify this idea of objectification and and sexualization some of the components so you go through is a person's value comes only from his or her appeal or behavior to the exclusion of all other characteristics so it's really about how much do other people find me desirable a person is held to a standard that equates physical attractiveness with being sexy a person is made into a for other sexual use rather than seen as
1:45 pm
a person with the capacity for independent action and decision making and then finally sexuality is the. appropriately opposed upon the person so it's not something you're involved and it's not a choice and that is so important when we're talking about children enjoy enjoy them for the talent they are and let them go through their life and we did this with every let them figure that out on their own you know and over time and protect their art as we go to break don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter see our poll shows that are two dot com coming up strong stones and start with cultural historian and social critic morris berman to discuss the future of western civilization light topic and then our teams david miller brings us the inside dirt on the food industries links to an epic environmental catastrophe go one on this list or two of the what you call. rigs politics that's what many are saying after the d.n.c. chair donna brazil claimed bernie sanders was cheated in the primary but the rigging goes further the g.o.p.
1:46 pm
establishment didn't embrace trump then nor now. hardy's war with themselves. the aftermath of the global financial crisis in two thousand and eight we used to be afraid and argument over the merits of capitalism truly emerged as a serious mainstream debate and ever since the issue has really only grown from stagnant wages and permanently difficult job markets to growing outrage over the student loan bubble a never ending scandals in the financial industry the calls for reform both practical and radical have emerged so forcefully that they even propel bernie sanders an inch away from a progressive revolution the democratic party similarly the political success of firebrand candidates and a complete collapse of the traditional political establishment have risperdal doubts about the future of government and geopolitics to distill all of that and more down sat down recently with cultural historian and social critic morris berman
1:47 pm
here's a preview of their conversation america one time was the hope of the world it was that beacon of light that the new world the promise of but a better tomorrow and i think most people come to the realization of no it's not so where is the hope in the modern world on a global level is it in subcultures that you see any nation or is it really in subgroups and sub states what we're talking about something now is a really good question and we're talking about something now that's much larger than just the united states. if we can say is the world systems analysis school does people like emmanuel wallerstein capitalisms day was roughly fifteen hundred to twenty one hundred was expensive if we can seem to be replace because it will if there's anything. i mean any story in with his brain knows that if you study history long enough where you figure out is there's only one constant and that's change and so we will move to something else and the question is first of
1:48 pm
all what is going to be and secondly how are we going to do it. and my own prediction i i recently. just came out on line yesterday i think on amazon it's a collection of essays called are we there yet and the final essay is a lecture i've given a number of times over the past six or seven years called dual process the only game in town and what i say is that due process means that concomitant with the slow disintegration of capitalism which we are living through right now there is a possibility of the emergence of an alternative in terms of alternative structures for example alternative currency alternative political arrangements such as secession breakup of empires we're seeing wilma saw in scotland we see it with bracks it we're see almost saw it in catalonia what
1:49 pm
a shame you know that failed but it's that fight is not over yet but basically we're seeing the emergence of alternatives alternative energy sources for example barcelona has something like more than one hundred alternative currency s. where people is essential what it amounts to is a barter system so i think there is the possibility of emerging alternative structures. it will not happen through. opposing you know corporate fascism or whatever you want to call it in the united states this system is too powerful yet there can be no success occupy wall street was rather a joke i mean it was laid and that's going to be the case with any kind of violence or nonviolent confrontation with the system you know i mean if you really want to
1:50 pm
chew on steel go fight the system but there is another way to do that and that's to go around that is to say to career. these alternative structures and things like this are happening especially in countries that have suffered austerity greece portugal. spain these these are countries in which these types of alternative experiments are rife because people are desperate and i think we're going to see japan is another one incidentally and. i wrote about this to some extent in a book of those couple of years ago but you've been called neurotic beauty which i talked about the alternative experiments that were happening in japan so there are various countries that are trying to do this but you know they're fighting the weight of history in the weight of those six hundred years that emanuel wallerstein talks about and so the emerging justice capitalism it's a struggle for a long time to emerge out of feudalism so this new world that i think is being born
1:51 pm
is going to have to struggle for a long time to free itself of capitalism. true on still a lifeguard who doesn't love your excitement is especially palpable when it comes to card a meat and a fully loaded burger a perfectly done ribeye steak or crispy broiler chicken straight out of the album who could possibly say no for your goods but. but if the horror of animals living and dying in factory farm conditions isn't enough to ruin your appetite new revelations show that the earth may literally be on track to turning into a toxic waste site thanks to yes our love of steaks and burgers these the findings and reasoning behind how our meat heavy diet may be causing environmental disaster right now our own backyard are fascinating and up implicating the entire corporate food chain in a way you probably never thought about before or to use david miller brings us more details on this story. america's water is under attack and also your health and if
1:52 pm
you had to choose between producing food on mass quantities or queen of water which one would you choose wait wait wait. let's put it this way why do we have to choose whether to have clean water or producing food is not why the american government institutes regulations to provide for safe upkeep of our environment and the overall health of the american people the global meat industry already implicated in driving global warming and deforestation is now responsible for one it's expected to be the worst dead one record in the gulf of mexico. according to the nation of change dot org america currently houses five times as many livestock animals as humans and now a group called mighty earth is launching a new campaign to expose tyson foods and the role of the process of livestock feed production and this is what causes major pollution in america's largest me company tyson foods is thinning out for its expansive role in all the regions suffering the worst pollution impacts from industrial meat and feed production americans are very
1:53 pm
familiar with tyson products and according to mighty earth tyson is responsible for one out of every five pounds of meat produced in the united states they own brands like jimmy dean hillshire farms ball park and sara lee in addition to sell into fast food retailers like mcdonald's and mighty earth campaign director does say that big companies like tyson have left a trail of pollution across the country and they also have a responsibility to their customers and the public to clean it up a recent alice from the environmental working group of two thousand and fifteen public water utility that it found that seven million americans are exposed to unhealthy levels of nitrate contamination in their drinking water and researchers have recently announced that so much pollution has run into the gulf of mexico this year alone that it has created one of the largest dead zones on record fertiliser pollution flowing down the mississippi river from the american heartland is causing all this dead zone pollution and by toxic algae blooms for
1:54 pm
a marine life cannot survive this fertilizer pollution does come from mostly industrial corn and soy filled its last year the u.s.g.s. today reported around one point one five million metric tons of the nitrogen pollution that flowed into the gulf of mexico as compares the b.p. oil spill was over six hundred seventy thousand metric tons so the question remains what role would the american government and your voice play in persuading the largest food and agricultural companies to dramatically improve their environmental and social policies. from watching the hawks david miller r t america. great report by david miller what role do you believe you know it's not so much your voice but the bigger role is your wallet if you want to take you know someone tyson and let them know that you disagree with you know we have a factory farming and well they raise animals and birds and i mean all of that that he just discussed you got a you got a lot of know through your wallet stop buying those products that well it's part of
1:55 pm
the problem is that tyson feeds into a system a food system that really takes advantage of the poor and lower middle class and lower classes because you know you're going to buy a big frozen bag of chicken breasts when they're you know fifty cents apiece as opposed to paying for this higher quality food i think the really disturbing thing is that you know it gets painted as this oh you're just an animal lover first i love bacon and i loved it. but however i don't think it's healthy for us that the meat i'm getting is in that kind of condition and in standing the deep in toxic waste that then is going into the food into the groundwater there is that yeah i mean i think there's a there's a thing that we kind of have to to get a sense of what's really important to save and while we have politicians wanting to cut the tops off of mountains to get that resource out food is a resource that people really need we quickly ask you there's a lot of people understandably raising the alarm over you know donald trump but as e.p.a. chief scott pruitt dismantling
1:56 pm
a tons of other metal productions where are the regulators been all these years before the battle and scott got a hold of like you know go to be even more aware of the allowing the food industry to get away with this to begin with you got to ask that question now this wasn't something that just happened overnight now you know it's lobbyists it's kickbacks and it's also that the e.p.a. in just the departments of making sure people are doing this is actually going out and making people accountable they don't have the money to do it it hasn't been funded in a way that allows them but the thing is the odds they. i love small government but we actually need more people out there doing their jobs and we need more people more lawyers like mike hope and tony you know out there fighting against these corporate being humans to keep them from polluting our lives exactly. so just what separates human from the animals our opposable thumbs our fashion
1:57 pm
sense or are we really separate well if there is indeed separation between man and animal two teams of neuroscience is pulling a page out of the iconic animated film the secretive meme recently announced that they have successfully implanted human brain organ to aids into the brains of lab rats and mice you know just take a second to hope there is stem cell research for four years ago in vienna until now these human brain organise only existed in test tubes functioning as a sort of small p. or b. in size rudimentary quasi human brain so they'd be pulsing with the kind of electrical activity that animates actual brains and giving birth to brand new neurons much like full blown brains they can even develop these six layers of a human cortex which is the region of the brain responsible for thought speech judgment and other advanced cognitive functions providing invaluable research into diseases like alzheimer's and this week a virus and now all human brains are in rats fully your rosebushes should be safe
1:58 pm
from any talking rats in the near future but these breakthroughs are raising offical questions about just how much we can make something young men before it becomes more human than human. this is this is one of the stories i read lo's loyd wow i didn't think we would get this or that it is it's raising a lot of ethical questions does are kind of like ok they're not going to be talking they're not going to be thinking that they're human being trapped in a rat body or anything like that it's just a little piece of brain that's you know it's not as if the rat is thinking message sort of growing but one. rap looks like growing the blame brain and that part of the brain that's that's technically human is then kind of firing and snap saying within the rat then you have to ask the question are we harming what is closer to what you are about then suddenly getting this kind of cut human conscious of like is everything when at this point it's a great question to ask or could they end up being like ratatouille and help me cope really good meals maybe that two hour ride his cars are operated very remember
1:59 pm
everyone who lives we're told we're not told we're loved so i tell you all i love you i am i robot and on top of all that people watching those hawks out there and have a great day and night everybody. to put in the lunch and. we have seen some of the you know those if you like. all. the buzz and depending on the cycle you can eat but. only some bites. from.
