young and the. officer if you notice it sees them in big big. big big. all kentucky county it's hard learned produce the most coal at a time in which most of what power do united states came from kentucky. today the thirty three active mines in harlan employ less than two thousand. some of deals mines have even been converted into museums. laid off left with nothing since the ninety's man and leave off was for they don't see any other options third in the fuel handouts in time on employed man are the usual

customers swill tarrant county was founded on coal and there's a reason heron county was bill that's the reason for. that is our encounters live if i squeeze welfare and get me into the building code and they get coal there's nothing else here we don't have the luxury of the cities we don't have factories we don't in the reason not as good as the sales associate in the mountains we don't have the road boys in which largess a mantra is going to get me in a day and that. i go flip hamburgers at the local mcdonald's or i go down here peace joy and make pay to. work that's not i'm paying my bills over horrors boom boom boys. you can walk straight fanny's any moment if you did more to get run over people goes both ways you're still being. an old man story very strong and

numerous give more for their buys every way home will. continue these days i'll give it it is the man is the only. person sooner and you get to go to teach yourself. you know my uncles were good examples he was working to save these he now stack it in years and years. and they tell you not to get your guns will not be coming out of me what i'm going. to do is i don't because i'm in here and you know other than four years ago i'm going to go think. they were going to let you go through the record label big deal growth rates are below six so. we're now in the home. as i was eighteen years old it was around at. work in a coma and for five years under two years service my. way here and. take. my two

hours and thirty cents an hour bus to it and since then how my town anymore. are very few. years not as much money in the time. when my doing here i just got out of jail my. possession of stolen property. i'm not good. jails jail. as. a feature three times a day. for t.v. . l.s.d. . i don't need all those things you.

heard from the gun guy here the pawn shop here for the past five years we take everything from you know d.v.d.'s to. boat motors or whatever you want imagine we have some motorcycles smothered in the mining equipment like us say we would take a lot of that stuff you would sell a four hundred dollar mining helmet maybe once a week the lights daily but the fact of the mining mines are shut down makes it difficult to sell that stuff because these were so these were being sold to personal miners for their own use they're not in mining anymore course they're not buying it. like mine. here. where all of them are very accounting. ever. in the states is tough today it's hard to see any traces of the turbulent past

there once made hard in the tories. the county is still mostly dry and once one for a year people used to make moonshine knowledge drugs are in the rice a trust painkillers prescribed by doctors to treat danger and six miners. now ask a prime d'antin yes. there's a lot of people here is a big fish region or out. there he said then. in three minutes anything that makes him feel better and with a thing that makes him feel better. we have a lot of problems with items that are coming in that are stolen. maybe not just from drug users. but that is a problem and i say guinness gets peroration try to get some money to maintain a habit you know and i think since all this you know all the mining and depression of the mining everything it's caused. a rising pills. it's the pills or the new

alcohol. you're talking about the forty inch in the. forty's and fifty's yeah. so in the fifty's well we made lucy so. you're in december we pick up ovaries blackberry so we'll be able to help her as we carry in frigid yourself for valor again. the black berries will go to order again but we get a lift you know all. muddy from their. clothes and some food for them we're. mostly what with troy in the food was cornmeal slower. so we would go a bit they'll be with old so yeah. it was a real flat. in the beginning i would only have to take a few back and they wanted them last and it towards the end of my credit alex they

. found it and. maybe before they switched to the ones in jail. i went for a feed you know and they hand it to sales now and they have it the jobs are ground . shot him down now the coal mines are said. live to come mars is alive in nature and they've banned people. in poverty. it's someone. i want the same road sign or some to push tiny walk. and works from the opening. after his book come to my mind. it was nineteen eighty eight my fifth visit to harlan county i was on the winding road from harlan to our birds driving a borrowed pickup truck when i began to notice the road kill it was

a dangerous road with more than its share of adventurous drivers and it was getting dark. i began to think of the many ways in which that was a presence in this land that any most there road accidents and of course the corn mines beyond and black lung. returning to new york living behind harlan in an endless rain. i tried to put together the pieces sober remotes were to i only got a glimpse off. my own with wonder where all that energy came from. energy that lights up the luxury. there was leaving his whole bar is were. heard is

a little girl's grave. oh oh daddy dear daddy plays golf away. with. all they don't go to the. madre would. come true. oh oh daddy dear daddy plays doll away. with. lid down south down the way they. claim to know all right. he

was. leaving. town. he. didn't steal. the. eighteen years ago i traveled across the united states exploring america's deadly

love affair with a gun if a bad guy tried to get to one of my family members he would have better live with that better and i think they are and hurting when i buy my babies says my book was published in the year two thousand more than hoffa million americans have been killed by firearms of the us way how to thought to me as i did this is a middle school we go through drills and we put ourselves in real scenarios it was interesting to see who actually got hit by the gun i just saw i did to return to the subject to track down each gun owner who i'd met and photographed those years ago i don't know that but we are not. joined me every thursday on the all excitement and i'll be speaking to get a feel of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then . here's what

people have been saying about redacted in the sixty's full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to talk you know what it is that really packs a punch. yampa is the john oliver of marty americans do the same we are apparently better than booth. and see people you never heard of love back to the night. president of the world bank hate to. send us an e-mail. across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies to me to people this is the simple song alone even some company gets elsewhere they invite private companies to take over the utilities anybody tell us

that. miss you guys you got a book on the pick him up because. this is. the more you remember the lift hill brought up the locals are ready to stand up for the basic human right of access to water it's about water but it's also much more like it's about the hurt and the redistribution of. perks and their debt downwards the one dollar.

the u.s. has intelligence committee votes to release a classified memo alleging the f.b.i. and the department of justice abused their power in the surveillance of donald trump's presidential campaign. the international paralympic committee up holds its ban on the russian team despite admitting the country's anti doping system is no longer corrupt and says only half of russia's athletes who prove clean can compete as neutrals. islamic state says it's rehired an attack on a military academy in kabul which left eleven servicemen dead and injured sixteen the latest in a string of terrorist atrocities that are going to start kills more than a hundred. and it's come to light fitness bracelets know not only reveal the

secrets of your health but also secret locations around the world where soldiers are being training. thank you for watching the news headlines here at r.t. international broadcasting live from moscow i'm kate park ridge and we start with some news from the u.s. where the house intelligence committee has voted to release a controversial classified memo this alleges the f.b.i. and department of justice abused their surveillance powers to spy on donald trump's campaign associates during the twenty sixteen presidential elections artie's samir khan now joins us live with more details. so hi there samir so what more do we know . well republicans of the house intel committee voted to release the memo that we've been hearing so much about and it's been called

a scandal worse than watergate but the memo reportedly details the surveillance abuses by the department of justice that happened during the trial campaign and democrats have voted against it before but they believe it's politically motivated to undermine the russia investigation now trump will have five days to decide whether or not it's going to be released so we'll just have to wait and see what happens and we'll keep following up. so america thank you very much lou thank you. now the international paralympic committee has upheld its ban on the russian team for the upcoming winter games some clean athletes but not all will be allowed to compete in south korea in march under a neutral frog i.p.c. president andrew paulson said moscow hasn't met all the criteria for lifting the suspension but he confirmed russia's anti doping system has made great progress russian foreign offices are regularly there amongst the most scrutinized offered

it's in the world. under the supervision of water we now have a greater confidence that the anti doping system in russia is no longer a compromise and corrupt. all the competitors from russia who will be able to take part in the games will do so under the nationality of neutral paralympic athlete it means not tiny national symbols such as the anthem and flag will be banned but also any out to be asian to a country the international paralympic committee says the decision is meant to send a message to russia. we hope that our decision here announced today it will influence russia for the ratio to have a different approach on that because they haven't met the criteria and the grittiest stays for restatement of. by whether also have in their criteria a fully or acknowledgement of what happened that there was a systematic doping scheme in place in russia well since the accusations of

systematic doping first emerged russia's overall hold its own two doping institutions well this is due to the findings of the metatron report which had been prompted by allegations made by former moscow lab head turned whistleblower watching cough however despite the progress not all the clean athletes will be able to go to the games of those sixty seven tested and treated of doping only thirty to thirty five will be allowed to participate and they must meet a list of criteria that confirms none of them was ever implicated in the doping scheme knowingly or unknowingly radio sports host alan moore believes all clean athletes should be allowed to compete. everything that is said today i mean it. is a little bit of given it that they are low so mass leads between thirty thirty five to compete a lot of a still doesn't make sense because ultimately as we all know this diseases are based on an informant's kind of wish to get away from russia so i mean did this is based on logic of i think we have to be very careful in how we deal with this for

pressure does athletes the power of asteroids they are already presumed guilty before they have a chance to prove their innocence athletes who've been testing clean and the last you know twelve or seventeen months as mr parsons brought up they should be allowed to compete we go back to thirty to thirty five athletes will go right now we believe but i do believe there's more to this introjected calling this tale. we want to earlier on monday the world anti-doping agency opened an investigation into a potential glitch found in its new song full bottles and accredited laboratory in germany has found that the tamper proof bottles introduced last september could be manually opened after being frozen two samples taken during a don't contest one of them as backup which is usually frozen the bottles are produced by the same swiss company that made those changes have been manipulated by russia during the twenty fourteen sofie games. the burger bottles have been used as

i was saying for decades and it's only with mclaren that suddenly it turned out that they can be opened we need to see a video of how they're opened how easily they're opened we need to have the berlinger experts involved and we need to have third party experts involved to determine what is the real situation here the schmidt commission it took them a long time it took them months of testing and devising some tool and then they were able to open some you know couple of dozen bottles but this was an elaborate procedure with a huge team of people working for days and weeks on end so this idea that the bottles can be easily opened is very eroni us. well the allegations based on those claims led to the initial ban on the russian paralympic team in twenty sixteen they were barred from the rio games just weeks before the competition got underway eagles done off looks back at how the scandal unfolded. all of them have

a disability but each and every one of them have proven themselves very able they spent years defying the odds training for the rio twenty sixteen paralympics they had a dream but what they got instead was reality. diverge from the word of. the you don't want them total war in the. world to know your. real. world will know. my using a small club or elsewhere while a cynical. will approach the post. and the mentoring of schools also for me is to start with the part i live where me as a target you look. these people are cheats apparently by the standards of the international paralympic committee at least weeks before the games in brazil the

whole russian team was hit with a blanket ban not a single athlete allowed to participate the decision was based on a report its evidence and key witness still suspicious to those named and shamed the mclaren investigation accused russia of running a labrador open scheme orchestrated by the kremlin store brass according to the reports a key russian lab routinely swapped dirty samples for clean ones resealing the bottles how did the russians do it a lot of people would love to hear mclaren's take on this mclaren says his word is evidence enough i've seen it i've seen it done and i've instructed it and it can be done it can be reinserted we don't know how the russians did it but we know that it can be done the report revolves around the eyewitness account of grigori watch and of he is the former head of moscow's anti doping lab and says he was one of the cogs in the doping conspiracy in russia he's

a want. a man facing charges for destroying dopping samples and abusing authority this is a clear violation of the burden of proof and assumption of innocence it's a ticklish and legally not acceptable in doping cases it is a well established rule you have to prove as a doping agency that for ninety nine point nine percent somebody has doped mclaren report is not proven after to make a collective ban on all at leeds there must be something else and details is politics presumption of innocence out of the window guilty by association these people have been stripped of everything their flag national anthem and colors. we care about how the russians completing it until they got it the right policy

but sure they are a clean nation never mind cleaned up they are to be a clean nation in the wake of the scandal russia admitted to having a doping problem and has since tightened the legal screws only a handful of countries across europe consider dropping a criminal offense russia now does yet the paralympic committees decision has been to ban and those guilty by association get sports capital punishment it has done of r.t. . islamic states says it carried out monday's attack on a military academy in the afghan capital kabul killing eleven servicemen and injuring sixteen local journalist bill also ari reports there were five suicide attackers two of them killed by afghan national security forces and another two of them did really did explosives and one of them.
