4:46 pm
for this prisoner swap be changed to a little bit longer a lot longer than planned initially of course this prisoner swap with the humanitarian part of the minsk agreed. events which are designed to settle the conflict here in the east of ukraine however one positive that can be taken out of this is that the families will see their loved ones for the new year holidays both in ukraine and here in the contested territories as well. as this festive term year tour which seems the french president has surprised his ministers demanding they stay on standby over this festive period and not ventured too far from paris during the holidays it's not going to do well with some of the. so.

4:49 pm
your at it up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest . i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one difference i speak to because there were no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker. los angeles the city of luxury and free but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a.
4:50 pm
says 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. to get 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 but do the earth or news except such solution tiny house on a city parking space is not a solution you craft to have someone monitoring the site otherwise it will be a free for all the news there a better alternative to envy homelessness crisis. the pittsburgh police internal report states that the officer had repeatedly violated the rules he shouldn't have such in the car despite this why in hospital leo was
4:51 pm
told that he risked twenty years of imprisonment. and putting the lives of policemen in danger. today with his family by his side near tries to get back to a normal life the officer who shot lee and still works in the pittsburgh police department. he was working around here he knocked on her door one day they say this is. so act of millions ounds call the police for another matter because the same officer arrives i just don't believe my ass i mean it's not like my legs was coming up was just so stark that you believed. that i was just scared that you know he may
4:52 pm
do something to make. this is this is another person so. if you want to show you a black man join the police were police did in addition to his disability and is now suffering from severe anxiety and depression he sued the pittsburgh police department. the prosecutor cancel the charges against me in a few weeks ago in order to improve the relationship between the police and the black community he said. in pittsburgh the relationship between the police and the black community is far from being good it was in homewood an afro-american neighborhood that the police sharply and forward. in these disadvantaged districts. high crime rates the gap between police and citizens is huge. we met these americans who
4:53 pm
live in poverty and who were the first victims of police abuse. people are more afraid of police than of criminals. faced with this fear the community gets organized after school the young gather in the house they only even home which end up between ten and sixteen years of age but as you guys can make it. there's are we past aside issues around us. so we can just start a career and when or how to or not succumbing to the teacher is like the big brother the situation is hard to believe he is teaching them how to protect themselves from the police. dull sager pay it's. because with that you're fitting into a stereotype that's the kind of stuff dick kim avoid to keep you out of any kind of
4:54 pm
situation or keep you out of trouble or not go horrible on you just because we're not we're dormant because i don't want to be the next person that we pull you to as somebody just killed by a police officer. because that can happen. remember taylor rice where we talk about the killing is twelve years old do you think the who or twelve in here. whose two zero. broke. that binyomin. that could have been one of either your three that could have been you know he has three teaches a part of an indian for the protection of the black community make something attend this cost twice a month where here because we saw a need to educate the young people who are community on things that really matter
4:55 pm
and their lives are things that can really save their lives or we see the police behind us we usually put a laser or a seat belts on we look straight forward we know not to turn around using proper you know grammar when i do pull you over try to be polite no matter what the situation around you occurs whatever officers on duty how they feel. personally you just got to go off of his prayers and hope you can find a way out a situation a lot of people look at as a threat they think they were all violated those are all criminals and things like that so just try to be respectful and carry yourself differently just so people on first they will look at you different if you carry yourself to. the young people who listen carefully to the advice i terrified at the thought of meeting the police . i feel like they've been arrested in the people around me now. do you feel safe when you have to clean the schools are you in the way because in the past so many
4:56 pm
people have been in jail for doing nothing but an arson police i suppose and i know i say so. you can see something happening in this is like i don't want to call the cops well. because well it's a it's a day where it's a fight is an assault and something happens and a group of people are fighting i would rather fit in i can see let that happen rather than call the cops and then those young black men lose their lives. if the i shoot straight it is because they're constantly controlled without. reason classroom have has already been stopped just in districts baedeker it's. to them by how many times. by the way our. my
4:57 pm
frameless water at that point there are three or four or five times. the rich reason those who just walk in. no walk home of friends or. family or see a life walking home romana clogged this. family's house just on the disc on the subject of reason. and the story goes on and all the neighborhood. does for nothing goes walking down the street. in my lifetime let's say maybe. six or seven times so there's a whole law i'll be all about bullies i'm not the light i get. why you know what have i done wrong. i can't even tell you he's not stopped that's more than i can do i can count but you mean it ten times. maybe.
4:58 pm
ten eleven twelve i don't count i don't know i don't keep track bt in the us the police is allowed to stop any passes by if it suspects a risk or criminal threats according to the agents this practice is a way to prevent crime but from professor james brown's point of view it increases the risk of making huge blunders the idea was you want to increase the contact between the police and only certain public you know not everybody is mostly folks in high crime or poor urban communities any time you increase that contact. police and citizens you're increasing the likelihood that something can go. in two thousand and thirteen in pittsburgh half of the time these controls did not lead to any arrests and blacks who represent twenty six percent of the population were controlled in sixty two percent of cases. like. this practice had its
4:59 pm
heyday in new york in two thousand and eleven where the police record a nearly choose thousand checks a day in one cases out of ten they were unjustified and as always those who are most targeted where the black people. in the figures are vocal but no policeman dares to admit it. i've. yet former officer has agreed to break the silence his assessment is alarming the hunt for black people in which he participated is part of a racist system that he condemns today. bravely wastes lives out in the countryside far from philadelphia where he served for twenty three years. now retired he insisted on putting on his uniform to

reveal the opening races practices of his former colleagues. the first thing he denounces is a quote arrests imposed on us police in many large cities up this race for numbers pushes them to control black people for no reason quotas lead to arrests for no reason. that isn't credibly. discussed they would take a person's freedom away to meet a quota. minorities have no one to call if they're wrongly arrested the white person will call their local political committee man a person they'll call the parents perhaps of a teenager will call the local politician you know what's going on here my child was arrested just because he didn't have his license why don't you just tell him to go home and get his license and things like so the white person has more power but people have no connection to the people in.
