north african country should musea is demanding an apology from the united arab emirates is after the country's emirates airlines prevented female chinese ians from boarding flights to the u.a.e. last friday citing a threat of terrorism move to cause widespread anger to. i just didn't seem to believe my would i go to a country that wonder exactly if that's the case and i should also have posed visas on the united arab emirates and. these are parishioners are a farce preventing an arab revisiting arab countries is unacceptable when we see the westerners going from country to country freely then. there's one of those statements defend the rights of tinnies in women and force the u.s. to apologize and the ban was lifted the same day the pastor was summoned the gulf states foreign minister later tweeted that the u.a.e. respects and values to new zealand women adding that they wanted to avoid any
11:40 am
misunderstanding but i wasn't enough. retaliated by banning all emirates flights then from landing its airports this tweet was posted by the airline shortly afterwards telling customers that flights were suspended indefinitely we talked to a blogger and activist who says the u.s. move was insulting on many levels. happened. lation of to nation women rights but it's a violation of women's rights in general the spokesperson for presidents to talk about security problems but this. happened if a small female babies were not allowed on planes i don't think the. government is still asking for official apology and it happened under the pressure of
11:41 am
people here in tunisia. it's holiday season of course and each culture puts his own stamp on making this a bit special for the african-american community there's a relatively new festival known as kwanzaa although its origins are a bit unusual was kind of mope and explains the holiday season in the usa is rather intense there's lots of shopping lots of t.v. specials now with christmas festivities still underway americans are waking up to find donald trump sending out greetings for yet another holiday today marks the first day of kwanzaa a week long celebration of african-american heritage and culture lets a celebrate the richness of the past and look toward a brighter future never heard of kwanzaa don't worry you're not alone according to a survey taken in the last three years this holiday season is the african-american christmas is actually only celebrated by less than three percent of african-americans do you celebrate kwanzaa no i don't celebrate kwanzaa i don't so
11:42 am
much kind. i try not to get too involved with so much hype of all these different festivities you know anything about the history is it something you identify with i really don't know i haven't really been exposed to much about clowns i actually don't think too much about it i grew up celebrating christmas be think about donald trump sending out a statement for kwanzaa. you know today a lot of stuff that he does is pretty hypocritical so nothing he does because surprise me now kwanzaa has been around for quite a long time it's been endorsed by many presidents including george w. bush and barack obama the media covers it quite extensively this time of year kids are static at the start of kwanzaa why is that a holiday that millions of people around the world hold dear a secular celebration to honor african american and pan african heritage and values a week long holiday that inspires african-americans to take pride in their cultural roots and reinforce principles to live by see it in a number of places whether it's in this in b.c.
11:43 am
whether it's the new york times whether it's the l.a. times there's farming coverage of this event as if it's a real event more coverage i would dare say is given to kwanzaa considering how few in here it's there are then even christmas and hanukkah so what is kwanzaa what is it all about well the holiday was started back in one thousand nine hundred sixty six by dr melodic harang he is a black nationalist and he felt like the holiday would strengthen the african-american community and resist the white majority i wanted to give black people a holiday of their own so i came up with kwanzaa i said it was african because you know black people in this country wouldn't celebrate it if they knew it was american now just five years after he came up with kwanzaa kurang actually went to prison for torturing two of his female followers now the media generally chooses to ignore his jail term and his nationalist views when they do coverage of the holiday
11:44 am
and they also still invite him on to talk about it however at this point we've learned that not everyone in the african-american community is a big fan of kwanzaa there is no holiday in the on the continent of africa associated with this set of events this is all made up by a person who when the radicals in the one. sixties the black panthers were operating thought he was too radical for them and he wasn't able to be a part of what they were doing and he helped put this forward as a way of distinguishing himself and trying to build a greater following african-americans have a diverse and rich history but kwanzaa seems to have very little to do with it many african-americans don't see a need to celebrate what they consider to be an artificial holiday kaleb mopp and artsy new york. in the voice now whether it's kwanzaa or christmas not everyone is

streets. simple fact in l.a. he's there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in it's been a struggle. this man from his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle to the earth or to use except such. a tiny house on a parking space is not a solution. to have someone monitoring the site otherwise it will be a free for all there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. the

. day is eighty one and a very serious of my science and here. is the low memorial corner bad i'm putting together it's not finished i'm famished on the side i have this medication backing with taking i have this to his cell phone. her son's name was eric bana he died he was strangled by a policeman. the scene was filmed and has been seen around the world. yes cry cry all over again my mouth it all spoiled that's what also. to now look at that video i said oh my god what they take too much.
11:50 am
of state to nine and south of new york eric garner is on the right to policeman suspect him of selling cigarettes on the streets. among much just to see all. the policemen want to arrest him but the situation gets quickly out of hand. one of them literally throws himself at terry to handcuff him by force another one strangled him for nearly twenty seconds. thank. god you're able. to. there's one of. you. i can't breathe eric garner will desperately repeat that eleven times before dying . it was just total brutality what they did
11:51 am
to him for no reason for they said for selling the lucy. it's like they have a license to kill and all guns are strangulation is prohibited by the new york police yet the agents will not be sued this incident shocks viewers across the world all the men so that these cases of brutality and excesses by the police happen every week in the united states film blunders that cost light on violence abuses and the victims are own most always black people. last november in cleveland up next to me a rice a twelve year old child is playing with a plastic gun when a police car racing by stops a brute see and the officer on most instantly shoots the child.
11:52 am
off but. beginning of april in oklahoma eric harris is chased by policemen after they tackled him down. they fired bullets into his back. pocket. the agent said he mistook his weapon with his taser the man is dying but the policeman doesn't seem to be both the. two days late in charleston south walter scott is arrested for a broken taillight he escapes. eight bullets in the back once again the victim is not tom and. once again a white policeman shuts a black man. most crimes in the united states are committed
11:53 am
by white people yet black people have much greater risk of dying shot by the police . if a louis for example. you have a higher chance as a young black man to be killed by police than being killed in a car accident in two thousand and fourteen the american police killed a hundred unarmed blacks that he's too poor weak the fact that americans have come to realize it hit them suddenly today was supposed to be michael brown's first day of college but over the weekend he was shot and killed by a police officer he was unarmed. two thousand and fourteen one death too many the death of young student michael brown in ferguson machinery it's the black community who cries out it's hanged if a days. eight months later the cameras a turn to the other riots is in baltimore where once again an afro-american died during his arrest by the police.
11:54 am
faced with these events a part of america wakes citizens take to the streets. they point out the injustice and want to put an end to impunity for the offending policeman. they're crying foul to the sad reality of america today a country where police trained in the culture of violence kill black citizens every week for no reason. may have been shot if their animals and it's open season people who walk on the streets of the united states are at risk from the very people who are supposed to protect our drop that all. other her alive in order to do that sometimes you might have to hurt someone else.
11:55 am
11:56 am
offices lance and luke come on duty. in an unmarked car east of the city in zone five. this is the districts with the highest case numbers of police violence in the past is it is an afro-american neighborhood a dangerous area the office is a nervous. it's a casino fairly robust. you can think you're going to watch it but. the police are looking for weapons so they scrutinize every move of pastas by they do not hesitate to check their pockets and belts. everyone is under suspicion.
11:57 am
a few minutes later we follow another police car that is about to control a red vehicle for speeding. and hearing you know here when they're. pretty good to hear a passenger comes out. when the policeman said when they see you're in another passenger please. before we had time to get out and fill. it again. the policeman hidden by the great car has already taken his weapon with. the red vehicle escapes the chase begins.
11:58 am
with. reality. oh you very much. want to go. off to minute chase live economists found in. the woods. the passengers have old vanished. the scale the fence i got a real good look yeah yeah i know and he just no weapon has been found no agent has been threatened but all offices have checked out their firearms go up to them how to get the corner that. we were on one corner and i didn't see him go around the
11:59 am
corner i didn't seem to be on the straight so at that point i don't know if he's waiting around the corner with a gun or not so that. he pretty much just assume he's waiting around the corner with a gun. you never know better safe than sorry i don't know that someone else isn't going to pull a gun out so yeah unfortunately around around here we end up going our guns off. a bit better safe than sorry. to chase ended up with no major problem for but this is not always the case none of the suspects were armed but the police chased him with the finger on the trigger and. the american police are allowed to point the guns very easily and also to shoot each. other. so what are the rules they are taught to follow.
12:00 pm
in the us every state and every city often has its police academy. the one in pittsburgh is located a few meters from the police station usually that teaches a former policeman. here. like in france the training announced one year but the average in the us is only of six months. this morning the trainees are reviewing the highway code ok for driver driving a driver with a driver's license expired within sixty days of the day that the expiration was his final sixty days his drivers like in this classroom they will learn the rules of the new ethics in crisis management but that is so new a small part of the program. the most important is this matter.
