link to dark secrets nobody knows how many of these secrets a kept inside the geneva freeport system you'll never obtain an inventory of all the works in the freeport who knows how many there are three hundred three thousand three hundred thousand is it a matter of confidentiality only is it the world's black box of the art business. i think there is indeed to. come out of this even if implemented minster agreements next week on the un the peace operation this is very sensitive politically contributing countries to be eventually offer troops to decide. they have confidence in their house not.

enemy fire than the men she served with sure a call she would like drink less water to avoid going to the bathroom in night time the show so terrified of being harassed so why do women even join the army despite hearing all this horrific stories. i think that it boils down. to people don't think that it's going to happen to them and that's typical of i think just society you just don't think that bad things are going to happen to you i had the same mentality before i joe joined to so you know they want to follow their dreams and they want to do what they want to do in in some of us our dreams was to be in the military and retire and and do great things in move women forward so i think that's normal that's ok you know eight nations is speaking out about this the problem of sexual assault in the u.s. military and it's saying that it needs to ensure affective prosecution of offenders
3:03 am
as is going to make any difference absolutely right now the prosecution rate for sexual assault is less than ten percent compared to the civilian world which is at least forty percent that's what we're trying to say is that if if people are raped or assaulted and then report we would like for these cases to be taken seriously right now like i spoke to you earlier you have to report the crime to your commander they are not a legal professional they are not special victims unit they do not understand how these things work and what we want is to be able to report to a police department or a law enforcement professional someone that understands how these people work and can't be manipulated by them so three years activists and lawmakers in the united states have tried to change this product all right but leaders in the military are against bringing civilians into bases to investigate alleged assaults why are they
3:04 am
against it and what are they winning this debate wide why do you think the military is winning this debate. because they're able to protect their institution if they're able to keep everything in-house and that's exactly what they do they want to stomp it out before it gets out to the public whereas we want it out in the public so people know who these offenders are and can be on alert they don't just offend people in the military they're offending people in our communities as well their wives their children so it's not just a military issue it's a societal issue and i think it would be way more effective if everyone reported to a police department where all the crime data was kept in one place i think in completely removing sexual assault cases from the military chain of command that would actually solve the problem i think standardising the justice process in general to have it in sync with the civilian society meaning databases
3:05 am
connected and you know whether it's the civilians that try the perpetrator or it's the military that tries the perp perpetrator everyone should be talking so that we can connect the dots on who's doing what where because it makes it a little bit more complicated with a military personnel who can transfer all over the country and to different parts of the world we need all the data collection to be put into a system so we can actually track with these people have done through the course of time and be able to move forward with with cases that may win as opposed to a he said she said incident so jennifer what i'm thinking is that maybe there should be more women in the u.s. military in high ranking positions that way they would take up more positions and maybe kick some butt especially regarding the men who are potential soldiers what do you think should there be more women in the u.s. military. that be ideal although we have to take into account that over half of the
3:06 am
victims in the military actually fifty three percent of them are males so this isn't an female issue necessarily we are a higher risk because we're seen as the weaker sex but predators do not discriminate they are harming both men and women in the military and a lot of media have been trying to cover the issue we just have not been able to get any footing with it but people need to know that more than half the victims are men in the military here's another crazy number according to the human rights watch only five percent of sexual assault cases in the us militarily convictions of the perpetrators what happened to the man who assaulted you see punished yes the recruiter skipped town after i threatened to report him to the commander unfortunately so we couldn't do anything with that case the technical instructor that assaulted me at keysar mississippi we had no jurisdiction over because he was
3:07 am
active duty and i was considered national guard and then the other two who were both national guard members that work with me we were able to move forward with cases but by the time it went up the chain of command it minimized from sexual assault to sexual harassment they both retired with full benefits after twenty years of service pentagon keeps saying that programs are implemented changes are being made the problem is being solved as if. i lie i don't think it's all a lie but i definitely think that they sway the media to see things a certain way so for example although the numbers may have gone down from twenty six thousand or roughly nineteen thousand in the last couple of years and they're bragging about a thirty percent increase in reporting it means nothing in the civilian world doesn't understand that in the military you can report a crime. i'm under two different guys is either restricted or unrestricted if it's
3:08 am
restricted that means nobody's supposed to know about it including your commander so you can go forward and get some help if it's unrestricted then it turns into a full blown investigation if in fact your commander agrees to move forward with the case which is another sticking point so people need to realize that although the reporting has gone up it's been restricted reporting which is not helping us catch these criminals they're they're still not being reported you might be able to get help but they're still moving along in their careers assaulting other people while the latest victim is just getting help you now work with those who went through this same problem as you did are you seeing more cases away men speaking out has to situation gotten any better i think awareness has definitely got better around the issue and there's way more talk about it within the military and outside in the veteran community to address getting help for after someone's been
3:09 am
traumatized by an incident like this so that in fact is has improved i've actually benefited greatly from the programs that have come as a result of our advocacy with military sexual assault so for that i'm thankful as far as the military justice system goes and policy goal goes it's it's the same thing it's always been nothing has changed whatsoever as far as the core issues that we're trying to to address which is taking a commander out of the decision making process as far as whether or not you're going to move forward with a case we just want law enforcement professionals and detectives and investigators to deal with these cases not a commander who's great at war but has absolutely no idea how the legal process works and what sexual assault is what do you do for the victims how are you now helping. my boss what i do is i empower them when i did work for as an
3:10 am
advocate i actually would help them kind of deal with their cases as they were moving along in the process and i noticed the same patterns over and over and over so now what i do because that was really hard to take until we can change things is focus on helping them to heal despite not being able to get justice so trying to find a place of you know faith and finding a place of comfort in yourself to know that you didn't do anything wrong it's just that the system is not working well and it needs to be changed and we there's nothing we can do about it right now except to take care of ourselves and hope for the best in the future. so you just mentioned earlier that it's not just a man woman problem that fifty one percent of the ones who are being assaulted are being are men and i read this trace and survey also by american psychological
3:11 am
association that's us that number of men facing sexual assaults in the military is fifteen times higher than reported by the pentagon that would mean up to two hundred ten thousand men or assaulted in one ear. is that number correct is the right call. and do you help man and no oh yes whoever needs help when they come to me i will assist him and as best i can that actually that study from american psychological association was retracted they had used. not a very good way to determine those numbers it was it wasn't correct so it was retracted it's not actually that high what he didn't really matter it's still high enough where it should be a concern the actual numbers what i shared with you it's roughly fifty three percent of the victims of military sexual assault are males. this is not
3:12 am
a female soldier issue this is a predator issue and that's what we're trying to tell people jennifer thank you so much for sharing this story with us thank you so much for empowering women who went through the same thing as you say thank you so much for being so brave and outspoken and i hope that you really when you win over pentagon thank you we're talking to jennifer a nor'easter retired air force sergeant now activist with the military rape crisis center speaking about sexual assaults in the u.s. military and share of the story of her ordeal and her five for justice that's it for this edition so i'll see you next.

this very weekend nineteen twenty eight in schenectady new york w two x b. began broadcasting locals now know what is w r g b. but ninety years after t.v. was born what is television i'm holland cook in washington this is the big picture on r t america. among the winners at the golden globe awards earlier this week amazon's the marvelous mrs my zel which scored two awards as did hulu as the had made stale which won the same two categories it won at the twenty seven thousand emmys these awards for decades of competition between shows produced by three television
3:22 am
networks are now routinely won by shows created for internet consumption and lots of what we watch is each other and you tube which is also producing original programming and broadcasting live events i just got a new t.v. nice one four k. meaning four times the resolution of h.d. t.v. and it's a so-called smart t.v. which comes with built in apps for hulu and netflix and other nontraditional networks and familiar cable channels have apps too although other news channels will only show me the on demand stuff unless i subscribe to cable or satellite t.v. one exception us the r t smart t.v. app does give you our channel live and i hooked up and tana which you might not be old enough to remember but signals do still fly through the air as i discussed earlier this week at the consumer electronics show with talk radio tech guru dave
3:23 am
grave line put it outside in ten to back up a lot of times you can simply use a new digital antenna indoors and it will get off air t.v. especially with digital to television that's what i just hung on the living room ceiling and since the last time we used didn't. since that digital transition there's a lot more channels out there than when we were kids with three or four channels and it's better quality because they're not compressed signals and many of us now watch our t.v. on things other than t.v. so ninety years after that flickering screen in schenectady what is television for smart local broadcast stations national association of broadcasters president and c.e.o. gordon smith says the answer is local news we believe we earn our licenses every day with all the public service that we do the decency rules that we have observed. the children's programming we provide the local news weather sports
3:24 am
information emergency information these are the the values that broadcasting run represents and they're valuable still but those local broadcasters compete for your eyeballs with lots of other video joining me now from the noisiest place in media new york city legal and media analyst lionel welcome thank you say every time i visit your town i tumble off amtrak and tumble into a cab and by the time i get to my destination i've seen at least two loops of a mini newscast for taxi passengers it's either from channel four a channel seven depending on the cab and that's before i get or i'm going dewey you living in new york ever feel overwhelmed via video coming at you from every direction. no i feel overwhelmed by a lot of other things which i can't really go into right now a crazy lunatics walking about to two words if i may very quickly your smart t.v.
3:25 am
dumb t.v. that is an n.s.a. surveillance tool you are being watched and having this is smart or green get rid of it whoever said that local news that local news is the future i don't know what century but any m. and m. click your heels twice i don't know what parallel universe here in holland if i may call you that how in the future streaming it's not television it's not that it streaming why do the a.b.c. decided just now a.b.c. and fox who does need to work together because they had no streaming platforms it is streaming today so you can call it what ever you want you can call it t.v. or video whatever but the bottom line is what is occurring now not the future but now are streaming platforms absolutely so there is a local broadcasters are clearly playing defense so other than that taxicab cast what other kinds of things do you see the new york stations doing other than
3:26 am
broadcasting on air on their channel. desiccate ng asa following turning into an audio post concretize the knackering isn't the best thing they can do is non-serious and listen it's cullen they're still talking about the weather they give an example to start with that they're still saying accu weather i've got accu weather for the next ten day forecast to tell of even what do you want so so they're living in a world still remember the format new sports whether it's sixty years old but the bottom line is news and information is always present always relevant as is you as are we as is r t but it's platform it's going to be streaming and what's happening right now is the good news is that there's so much to work with and from you'd better be really good because that com that station is huge holland the next time you see a young person or
3:27 am
a millennial or whatever you want to call these people ask them what radio station you listen to what the talking about going to a radio shack oh yeah i don't mind if they even have them anymore so we're using terms that like we use the word album and cd but it's streaming yeah that's all that's new well we were already an on demand culture before netflix came along have you seen the crown. of course and not only that two things i'm finding myself over well i've just discovered amazon t.v. which means that i just can't watch all in just one show but my wife and i have to watch the whole thing and they call it they call it this has been genetic because now i'm thinking not only do i have to watch this i get the entire season now so when i get done with one version i think what we want is well it's the second one and then we're going to the fifth one and then the twelfth and then i get that people are calling me on my ok we've got that welfare watch is the police are right there i mean who would have thought years ago if i did say hey khalid we got the
3:28 am
holiday called t.v. show at work give it if you at once remember the sopranos you're not anymore now it's that's not brad ology no that's teddy bear there's no more appointments and you know the binge watch is one one more season and on going to brad ok of for years and for years now your listeners have been grazing multiple video sources on multiple devices every day then along came twitter we're live in and one hundred forty character culture as a broadcaster how do you cope with your radio listeners super short attention span i got about a minute. i'm sorry what how did you get. very good you got me what what what i do know is very simply this the thing which is the most exciting right now which i think is that it wants to transform everything is the you tube platform you tube is number one news platform there is everything that we say right now is going to be seen later on and it's going to be streamed later on over and over and over again
3:29 am
don't kid yourself that let me tell you something if i would have told you that people don't have attention spans while holland if that's true then why are people like you and me and young folks and folks of all ages watching the crown for thirty seven raves if we don't spend. and thank you lionel from the lionel media the massive mind boggling consumer electronics show isn't just the biggest tech event in the world it's the biggest business event and consumer electronics is big business three hundred twenty one b. billion dollars this year in the usa alone and much of the buzz n'est in las vegas this week was about who wasn't there federal communications commission chairman i was am i a c.e.o.'s canceling last minute after reported death threats and i wish we could say we didn't see this coming as mr piet was preparing to kill
3:30 am
net neutrality public outcry was overwhelming members of congress urged the chairman to postpone the vote not only didn't he but the snarky tone of pi's replied of those concerns seemed intended to antagonize is in charge and you're not as he mocked the concerns of those concerned this presidential appointee whom we address as the honorable seemed anything but. this chairman is deregulating corporate broadcasters like crazy and just recent weeks he's eliminated the main studio rule which required local broadcasters to broadcast locally he live arise liberalized the newspaper across ownership guidelines a change which seems tailor made for the looming mega merger of two corporate media giants right wing sinclair broadcasting and the tribune company so that corporate suits love him or.
