pittsburgh pennsylvania six hundred kilometers from new york. city of three hundred thousand inhabitants with a long history of police violence. if we could follow them during a patch. and we understood that that can get out of hand. offices lance and lou come on duty. in an unmarked. east of the city in zone five. this is the district 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. 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. at 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. to meet. with. reality. oh you very much. want to go. off to minute

chase the vehicle is found in. the woods. the passengers have old vanished. he scaled a fence i got a real good look. he had no and he just no weapon has been found no agent has been threatened but all offices have checked out their firearms go out to them how to get the corner that. we were on one corner and i didn't see him go around the corner i didn't seem to run it straight so at that point i don't know if he's waiting around the corner with a gun or not so that's. 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 the pavement better safe than sorry.

to chase ended up with no major problem before but this is not always the case none of the suspects were armed but the police chased them with the finger on the trigger and. the american police are allowed to point the guns very easily and also to shoot. so what are the rules they are taught to follow. 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 not swung year but the average in the us is only of six months.

this morning the trainees are reviewing the highway code ok for a driver to flood the drive in drive with a driver's license is fired within sixty days and days are the expiration of what his fine sixty days is travelers like in this classroom they will learn the rules of the new ethics in crisis management but that is only a small parts of the program. the most important is this. and. in these images sim by the police itself we discover the training ground the loud music is used by train is to raise the stress to the maximum. hidden behind blue tops they prepare future policeman for the west. this student will be confronted with an armed man who is shooting someone under stress the

police cheney will direct his gun at the victim before changing his mind i am. he. will make just manufacture consensus instead of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. merry go round. that one. time we can all middle of the room sick.

we met that mad get mad. pleasure. on this video students are taught how to react in extremely violent situations. that i want. them aggression but aggression. shoot shit policemen will follow this kind of chaining for two weeks just before starting to tatchell in the city.

the coach yelling on the videos it's him david wright a former policeman converted to combat sports he has trained every policeman in pittsburgh for the last fifteen years. too much violence doesn't worry him it's the opposite that preoccupies him well. my fear is that they under react if the officer under react perhaps fails to recognize that their life is in danger. by the time that they realize this it could be too late and they could be seriously hurt or killed want to put them under stress yes but we also we want to them to win and you know it's just sort of like a coach on the sidelines yelling and screaming at their or their players to get moving at that point in the academy as joey to get them going is to bring out the best. shot by the violence of these videos

we look for an expert's opinion delores jones brown is a professor at the university of new york and an american. according to her this type of training can explain why agents often use excessive force. it absolutely is indicative of the warrior mindset statistically few people that you encounter a really going to be the kind of serious threat that would warrant that kind of aggressive behavior and they are actually training the folks just the opposite be ready. and unfortunately they're it takes human beings to be a police officer and there are some human beings that will come to the job already with aggression or anger management issues to train them the way that this training

goes and then to tell that person and go out on the street and assumes anybody you encounter could be a threat. it's a recipe for disaster. it's a recipe for disaster i think. that particular video. maybe needs to happen to create. for trainers who encourage police officers to behave aggressively in situations where they don't need to be aggressive. in the us students receive five times more training in these fighting techniques than the resolving conflicts without violence. and the most important training is the control of firearms. policemen a change in school but not only it is the only subject continuously throughout their careers.

to assist a firearm training we went to set a grave in new jersey today as it is the case twice a year eight policemen will train in the cool environments. i. think of yes yes i hear yes but i i mean look at this growth you think that i grow to be attracted to that i think. despite the laughs the training is very serious. fire. last year in the u.s. one hundred twenty seven officers were killed on duty. in

a country with three hundred million firearms in circulation the police mustn't lose hand so we do the same thing over and over again so we do what we can do with our eyes closed probably because we do it over and over again it's we're taught the same way like our magazines are the same spot so we don't have to walk we don't you'll see us we don't look at our daughter we'll look at our our magazines at all it's all done by memory that you don't suits like i said no no no i don't know but i but you probably could do pretty good because you're so used to having at the same spot all the time they want to get it in grained in them that it's muscle memory that they're able to do without even than what i've been having to think and it just becomes like a natural type of thing for you to do so secular things exactly they're able to respond like that. in addition to the shooting range police officers train with the simulator just to tell you my adrenaline is is pumping right now so i'm a little. to the situations ministry could he met a policeman a train with toy guns. you know just to ride it is there was call this is where the

evaluation is tested is there a danger must the weapon be checked ounce. valuable. and if a threat to k.s. you're here for. the reaction is instantaneous the police by a six bullets with such mindsets the slightest mistake can be fatal right there. puts a driving license in this day away as again i very may very very well may have shot and that would have been bad for very bad very the officer could have killed an innocent man and he admits it with a smile because he's thinking about an old expression that old us policeman know. it's better to be tried by twelve than carried by six that basically we would rather take the chance of going home and shooting someone rather than being placed

in a casket because we have to second guess. which is that the police are not afraid of being sentences because they are rarely prosecuted nor convicted of the law allows them to shoot as soon as they feel threatened the soon as a police officer is afraid he can shoot ready but when does fit begin and the sense of being threatened this is a subjective chris cherry that legitime its many abuses. in the us there are no official statistics on the number of people killed by the police. the police is not fools to provide its data some n.g.o.s make statements listing the victims case by case the figure is a frightening. been able to find one thousand one hundred seventy five people in total were killed by the reasons why it works and off this amount two hundred victims were not home and among them the most affected offer americans they

represent only thirteen percent of the population but compose fifty percent of the unarmed ficta. she was shot by the police every week today this statement scares america. in pittsburgh a victim testifies. the survivor who almost died from bullet wounds. rather. his name is ian ford. a dog. he is only twenty two years old. he gave us an appointment on his childhood basketball ground.

as awful lot was there in the. us. today leo cannot play he cannot even walk. along. his life was turned upside down after roadside spot check. everything. just go back to the moment most of. the control was filmed from the police car which was equipped with a camera it was at night in november two and a half years ago initially it is a classic controlled. the start finish i gave my driver's license my registration my car assurance david cameron master

mason but they ran a name l. for. when the police typed l. ford the search result. displayed the warrant of arrest of lemmon forward clement ford is black he is the same age as lee and is once a truck traffic leon who is waiting in the car does not have a criminal record but the police is convinced that he is the suspect. was. on i've tried everything i could possibly. being used they were very aggressive they never asks me to get out the door. they. told me. they live in food is afraid and he refuses to get out of the car or one of the policeman gets in on the passenger seat to force him out. really there was no doubt in my

mind that they were they were going to kill me i just knew that they were wanted in that moment. as soon as the car accelerates the policeman in the car fires five bullets. he will then say that he thought that leaving was armed. they pulled me out of core told me that they hoped that i would die. for screaming worse and worse. and again telling me that. leo neither had drugs no weapons he is convinced that the police would not have acted the same way with a young white man. they don't think again but they said nice cars and leisure. leisure come and. so he is criminalized. mean that today has come and know that and i scored.

and there's more good people in a club when it was so intense they would label. them as police officers of course have power. it is power. things to people. close to you when you don't. see the teachers who are. not through only ten spaces you. may. like to know. claiming to know terminated that. you speak french.

the same. continue. to. be. an explosion rocks a supermarket in the russian city of. people investigators say the blast was caused by an improvised bomb with ball bearings. headlines german authorities identify a large network of women spreading islamic states audiology officials warn the wives of killed by civil forces and i'll bore effective advantage of take. lessons

of take. thousands of documents relating to controversial episodes in british history have gone missing the national archives claim that civil servants misplaced the. and i asked a lot from. welcome to the program. now an improvised explosive device has blown up in a supermarket in the russian city of st petersburg these are images from inside the store where the device went off you can see them on your screen now ten people were injured in the incident counterterrorist investigators are handling the case so far unclear whether the incident is terror related the bomb was placed inside a entrance to the supermarket auntie's but you know a caution about. the latest details well we keep receiving reports from versus

investigative committee which says that an improvised explosive device could have caused such a blast that took place in a local supermarket in the city of st petersburg now according to preliminary information that particular explosive device was filled with unspecified objects and it means that that device intended to cause as much damage as possible because he also adds that the force of that blast was equal to two hundred t.n.t. and experts say that it is. the same as the forests a hand grenade now for now it was reported that ten people were injured by that very blast and all of them were taken to hospitals we also managed to speak to and i witnessed and this is how he described what happened. as i got closer the

street was already on lockdown and there were many ambulances and fire fighters and so injured people being carried out of the supermarket i live five hundred meters down the road and from this distance i heard the sound of the explosion. now it is still unclear what was the motive behind the blast but the committee said that it will take into account all possible versions and also a national antiterrorist committee says that it has placed this incident and its control and in terms of timing this comes at a pretty pretty busy time in st petersburg leading up to to the russian policies and it's true the incident took place during really the busiest time of the year and we're talking about the run up to the new year celebrations now that local supermarket where is the blast took place is located in quite a big shopping complex so we're talking about crowds of people that were at that very shopping complex at the time of the blast. we spoke earlier to charles

security analyst and former u.k. counter terror intelligence officer who told us too early just yet to jump to conclusions it's relatively small scale attack two hundred grams would equate to the rough explosive content for example of a hand grenade and therefore together with the shrapnel that that would be surrounded with that's not to downplay the impact on the victims of course which is terrible and can be of course fatal and often is and indeed the russian authorities seem to be stating quite quite a thought actually at the moment that the motivation for this attack or this blast appears unclear for example it could even have been a situation where a device intended for use against another target was left in a bag at a shopping shopping center it's very important to keep an open mind here and of course bearing in mind the definition of terrorism which is widely accepted. not universally as being violence that is carried out with

a political or perhaps also religious motive this may not even turn out to be terrorism as defined in that way it could be for example a criminal act something perhaps with a commercial economic background. out of the headlines the german security services have identified a female terror network aggressively spreading is the most ideology online ortiz model for national reports on us all recruitment in europe that's not for the first on what we see women actively involved in promoting jihadist fuz we have been hearing reports about isis female recruiters since of police twenty fourteen those are a wives of killed islamic state fighters who decided after the death of their husbands to somehow continue that fight but now germany says that their number is on a constant dramatic rise the women and ideology promoted says the men have realized that women could not work much better for more capable of expanding the scene in

this most recent case germany identified what they called the islamist terrorist women's network consisting of a least forty what they call sisters who follow an ultra conservative branch of islam known as seller fees and spread extremist views via internet particularly targeting so-called nonbelievers the german authorities stress that it would be wrong to call salafism to terrorists but at the same time they add that it could be potential breeding ground for terrorists all over europe including here in germany especially following last year's berlin terror attack christmas has said have become the time for extra concerns and worries over security because christians and their faith and their holidays and everything that is connected to it include in christmas markets that the now operating and will be open for the next week at least all over europe have repeatedly been targeted by islam ist so it has been bet

for quite some time but now fears are increasing with a number of those who share salafist views here in germany rose to an all time high accordant. the country's intelligence agency germany sees it as a direct result of dramatic losses in the middle east and as a consequence a rising number of returning to europe including women and now they say that with their defeat of so-called islamic state in syria and iraq europe's security could be as fragile as never before. the fall of islamic states in syria and iraq more tales of horror are emerging of life under the terrorists rule kurdish minority families in iraq known as you z.d. suffered capture or death or enslavement our senior correspondent what i've been speaking with some of the families who managed to survive the ordeal we'll show you

the full interviews on thursday in the meantime though here's some of what's to come. and we were captured we spent two months in iraq then we were taken to syria they made me a slave we were put to work and held where the troops were we were given one hour a day to rest then i ran away they caught me in locked me in a toilet for three days without food or water i tried to escape again and again but each time i was caught beaten and severely tortured they shot my friends we begged them for mercy on our knees then we were hit by an airstrike and i was concussed my head still hurts i can't talk for a long. monologue and i was pregnant but i was so terrified that i lost my child my husband and family were captured i was left alone with my mother so i took poison i decided it

was better to die when they caught me i thought that since my family my husband and my house were gone it would be better to die. on twenty fourteen up to ten thousand years edis were killed or kidnapped by iceland just a matter of days of those a third were executed however the true scale of the tragedy may never be fully known the testimonies that have emerged suggest many have been tortured beheaded or even burnt alive in many cases entire families were captured together women and girls were often sold as sex slaves while young boys were forced to become i saw fighters someone's even old enough for school when they were forced to terrorists. my daughter was five years old and she was captured careers have passed since then so she is nine we endured a lot of suffering my brother escaped and i stayed at his place then he died

instant jar i was desperate after his death and i went to stay with my other brother he is poor and has young children all girls. and all other news thousands of documents relating to controversial episodes in british history appear to be missing the u.k.'s national archives claimed or misplaced or removed by civil servants the revelation a spot quite a bit of. the british people deserve to know what the government has done in their name and their laws will only fuel accuse ations of a cover up as a story and it's impossible to believe this loss the declassified files themselves show governments view the public largely as a threat the threat of democracy is deeply embedded if it happened in russia for example would be up in arms about corrupt governments but hey this is the british way to avoid scrutiny of its past misdeeds auntie's poly work only looks now at what pages of history have been lost all the national archive is a very important resource especially for people like historians.
