of the end of twenty seventeen and for a movie sexual abuse an assault by at least five people including the child of a family friend so he. definitely hangs out with good people good composer while he was at the center for american progress. he is accused of sending lewd and inappropriate text messages numerous female colleagues a story that was confirmed by at least five other employees and one of female staffer finally complained about his behavior she found that not only was she the one that was moved away from the team but that other team members and people in the within the organization were told not to talk to her and i was a work environment so while yet is three days paid vacation for being a lewd and lascivious scumbag in the words of louis allegedly sure. yeah sure. so yeah so that's my thing as one staffer said this is the thing when this happens because it shows that all these things that you're doing and you're trying to be this progressive woman imagine this is the time when everybody thought hillary was going to win these women walked and think this is our we're finally going to have

the real year of the woman and what ends up happening is one staffer had said quote you take garbage money to work at something you believe in and then you can't get into what you really believe in because you can't believe in the organization. once you say yes but that's the thing you want to believe in the truth of the present democratic progressive ideals you want to believe in that but when you get to d.c. and you see this kind of stuff it's hard to believe in the mission when the organization is so foul ups that thing and now they have cleaned up their act apparently you know they made excuses for every incident you know putting all the blame of course of the woman like we are used to that by now they're actually generation. but it wasn't until twenty eighteen that they fixed all this two years of the allegations were brought to upper management attention two years they sat on this that they finally released new sexual harassment policy guidelines you know this is that. and there's a union there by the way and the union had asked them for it repeatedly and the excuse was from that from cowper that but we couldn't change our sexual harassment

policy because we were negotiating your overtime pay oh right because you know physically even the safety and comfort building takes a back seat to pay blame the union blame the pay blame obama but don't blame the behavior we don't blame the woman here on watching the hawks but we do blame of course we got to go to break talk watchers don't forget to let us know what you think about topics to cover that facebook and twitter see our poll shows at our dot com coming up journalist steve moore brings us the latest on the fallout from one of the largest prison riots in united states history so stay tuned to watch the hawks. fight for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the fun of school it's about the

passion from the families it's the age of the super money kill you know news and spending two to twenty million and one player. it's an experience like nothing else on it because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful game like great so what more chance for. peace. los angeles the sony of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a. is 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. and this man found 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 authorities accept such solution. me house on a city parking space is not a solution your current someone wanted touring the site otherwise it'll be a free for all the news there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. a common refrain heard in the context of society's most hardened criminals is as brutal as it is dramatic lock them up and throw away the keys but in a tragic case recently the idiom may be more penal system memo than just tough

talking hyperbole it all started with a fight that broke out among inmates at south carolina's lee correctional institution except unlike in the movies where you see the brother buzzers immediately blaring and blasting guards in riot gear restoring order within seconds for some here or two for unexplained reason the correction officers at least stood by for almost eight hours before breaking up the fight leaving seven inmates dead and seventeen wounded and even more inexplicably the official response has now focused on contraband cell phones yes cell phones claiming that the deadly riots started as a dispute over the precious communications devices connecting inmates to the outside world so to parse what exactly took place that we and why we are joined today by journalist steve horn welcome steve. good to be back thanks for having me always a pleasure to steve really cell phones that's that's what what do the correctional officers and government officials why are they using cell phones in this case why

are they going there. so cell phones have then and issues that have been sort of simmering and that there are a lot of cell phones but then there was you know jails and prisons in south carolina and across the country and it's been a big push by guards and state department of corrections offices to try to curtail their use the thing is that in this particular case the investigation has actually yet to really begin about what the actual roots of the fight was what's known as that it was. and enter gang rivalry people within the walls of this particular prison have said that they saw this coming for a while and happen to have happen on a sunday when there were less people. in sight and also it was hard to it's a hard place to get on sides and rule south carolina and bishop hill south carolina

but that said when looking at your question about the cell phones. i want to say that you know one of the things that we the story that we broke in prison legal news which came actually from cell phone photos that would be one of the reasons why. you know guards and department of corrections may not want cell phones besides the fact that you know potentially there could be drug trafficking potential they could be stuff happening with gangs outside the walls of those pick the jails and prisons is that within you know if someone actually has a cell phone they can take pictures and photo you know photos videos those sorts of things about what is actually taking place inside the walls and prisons in the united states is not really a site that we normally see and even often instance like this we sometimes may not hear of so one of the big reasons why this story became a national story why the associated press reported on it why c.b.s. news reporter and why we reported on it was because there was someone who had a cell phone within the walls of lee correctional facility and now the department

of corrections south carolina is trying to say ok well whoever took these videos and whoever took the photos when we find out who it is we're going to bring criminal charges against this person of course we're not going to reveal our source i don't believe that the associated press will reveal her their source was either it's an important story newsworthy event as you said it's in the past quarter century the second most deadly eruption in within the walls of a prison since ohio in one thousand nine hundred three so it's a really big story and there are a lot of repercussions still about what policy is going to be put forward going you know in the weeks and months ahead in the state and it will have national. national repercussions stuff most of. you know one of those who is one of the things that the guards have brought up with this idea of jamming cell phone towers so that you know prisoners who did have these cell phones which we know happened we know they're used for criminal organization and then things like that drive traffic and although that happens without the cell phones i mean drugs were getting trafficked

into into prisons book before beepers so obviously like they didn't manage it out to where it was a convenient way of what you know avoiding the high cost of just communicating with your family right to place exactly and that's and that's the point you know it's it's increasingly expensive for prisoners to just make a phone call that they need to make or want to make so one of those things is are cell phones really that dangerous i understand why you don't want to have them in there but is there real danger i mean we've seen mob bosses and prisons we've seen everybody having all of these things still conducting business are they really that dangerous and you know pretty well there's. it's unclear you know what i've seen accounts of what's in that is now been a week and a half since this incident. the news accounts really are saying it based on sources within lee correctional facility in the state of south carolina actually very

common that they are commonplace items within the black market of jails and prisons in south carolina and part of the issue how do they all get there well. took part in a corrections will say that they're being snuck in and being tossed over fences. that family may be bringing them in or visitors but the actual rip the other real reporting has shown that often it's the actual prison guards who are making money off of smuggling them in and selling cell phones for you know upwards of a thousand dollars to two and a half thousand dollars so there's an issue of major corruption within the actual prisons and jails and states and that includes the guards and there's the other piece of this puzzle that's a follow the money question of case we're talking about blocking potential cell towers and who's going to profit off of that well there's a company that's step forward called secure us and that's a company that does calls where you know video calls or phone calls within jails

and prisons across the united states it's a multimillion dollar company that has contracts across the u.s. in localities and states throughout the country and now they're so that they want to kind of monopolize the market by saying ok well you can really only make calls with our products so there's you know and at the same time they're going to use this cell blocking technology that they have that they say they have that would be useful to stop the dissemination of text messages phone calls etc and you know that i think that's what we really have to follow the money when you're looking at this and really south carolina it's really crucial here because a spokesman for the name of robert johnson who was a correctional officer in that state. he has a horrific. story in which he was through cell phones was actually badly beaten up at his house and now he's kind of become a spokesperson for secure really south carolina is really the apa center of where i see the future of this sort of technology going forward and really is

a push now to get the federal communications commission the f.c.c. to implement a basically a policy where regulation where they can do cell blocking technology on the reason they can now is because it's illegal under our c.c. regulations but there's a renewed push in the state of south carolina to make that happen and i know the speaking of the f.c.c. the pie dough who's rather infamous for his interesting promotional tactic celebrating the new trial that he actually visibly and was advocating against cell phones in prison why is oggi possibly getting involved in this is it because of another example of follow the money. or you know i think it probably is i think the news in your reporting investigating done to see what kind of types of communications online lobbying and that sort of thing that a company like secure us and its allies in that industry are doing but it wouldn't surprise me at all if that's the case and it doesn't surprise me at all like you said that i did go visit this particular facility like i said south carolina is

really a tipping point in the future of communications between family and prisoners held at facilities within that say and i see that if it moves goes one way in south carolina we could see this happening in other places moving forward and of course the big picture here is that they would have a monopoly on that market and they charge exorbitant costs to communicate with families i'll say one more thing securus on top of the cell phone thing and the state like washington state a completely different part of the country secure has really moved into that that state's facilities by saying well the families visit and friends visit prisoners and people in jail and that stay there bringing in other types of contraband drug. etc so not only trying to get rid of the use of cell phones and saying that's gotta be right in there really trying to get rid of family visitation period so you see that happening so it's really the trying to get it switching one way track and yeah and sort of keeping people on the you know if you if the only way you can see your

loved one is through a video conference that you're going to they're going to pay and i think it points to the the how corrupt it becomes and the prison system it's one of those things there's one of two things that i firmly believe should never be a for profit and prisons are one of them and health care is the other so the prisons really what. you're making profit off and it should be made. yes history made crystal clear there's still no there's been no comprehensive investigation yet in this state it's been a week and a half an hour talking about the policy that should next as opposed to getting to the root cause of what actually happened and this particular case the source that i spoke to who took who got these horrific photos of the aftermath of this incident that left seven people dead he says that had nothing to you know this is one source so you can't say that's a definite a company says this had nothing to do with cell phones and it was just a beef that existed between these rival gangs and there are

a lot of people saw this coming and it wasn't a shocker that end up happening what's shocking is what you said is that it took eight hours to respond to for four hours no one responded at all it took four hours after that finally ended about the time all was said and done we saw seven people dead twenty two people in hospitals and we now reverberation and that facility where it's a ten year box where we could see you know unfortunately future incidents in that place they don't actually get to the root cause of what happened so the governor there has issued an executive order he said ok we're going to. do these things we're talking about with communications cell phones but we're still the executive order doesn't get to the root cause of action before action before investigation i haven't heard that at all in the weeks that we've seen in the last couple weeks at all steve thank you so much for coming on today always a pleasure talking with you keep up the great work out there. thanks for having me appreciate it. despite the last few desperate gasps of winter for those of us

living in the northern hemisphere spring is finally here in the hot humid days of summer fast approaching but. here for those for those of you still waiting and dreaming of a white christmas and filled with the wonder at last for the magical beauty of a true winter wonderland look no further than the roof of japan located north of two. oh and oppressors of toyama and madonna the ninety kilometer tuttle young. is home to the u.k. no autonomy or great value snapped boasting while seventy metres high this corridor of snow is an incredible manmade wonder to behold but time is running out because like all walls even these white marvels will eventually fall it's so much that is and. that's incredible and i don't even like snow waves but i was calling up the review that is really cool zero all it is the everything and all the all right cause playing games all around the going out and i thought you know that as our

they're going to be public hospital for a little while for the police bust was more social that's going to last. and this may be an unfair in their role and good on follows from the start. of a broader where no five really did a poll done that would have. meaning in these images that brief if you don't like the involves it's constantly evolving and. the two koreas are on the verge of signing a peace treaty a donald trump summit is in the works is peace coming to the korean peninsula well it's possible the foreign policy blog and the corporate media are less enthusiastic after all conflict is very business model. elliston is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos and middle fit to

the. donald trump ailes his beautiful friendship with emanuel mccrone at an intimate meeting with the french president at the white house but key disagreements between the two leaders remain. a network of sophisticated tunnels used by militants is uncovered but if the syrian city of dubai rushed out he has exclusive video. of his defense ministry just place fragments of cruise missiles recovered after an assault by western countries on syria it says most of the small myself fired were intercepted by syria's aging defense system. and a liverpool football fan is left fighting for his life. after being attacked by italian supporters ahead of a match in northern england to have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder .

by the wednesday off in a three mosque i want to call him welcome to the news from oxy international for you this hour donald trump has heaped praise on emanuel mccomb at a meeting in the white house the two presidents met to discuss topics ranging from syria to the iran nuclear deal but it's the touchy feely friendship that's all over the headlines right now. mr president the old saying what a great relationship we have and they're actually correct it's not fake news finally it's not fake news so it's a great honor great honor that you're here but we do have a very special relationship in fact i get that piece of. peace we

have to make him for he is perfect so it is really it is really great to be with you and your special friend and now a lot of the basis of recent unity between donald trump and french president mccraw on has been the recent attack on syria france and the united states along with the u.k. cooperated in the recent airstrikes in syria now it seems pretty clear that mccrie on was hoping that this recent attack could kind of lay the basis for a continued cooperation between the united states and france kron has been referring to the united states as kind of a gerund turf contemporary multi-lateralism however when he brought this rhetoric up at the white house donald trump didn't seem quite eager to go along with it in the long run we need to bring peace to make sure that syria does not become an enemy in the region be. we have spent seven trillion dollars in the middle east and we've got nothing for it nothing less than nothing so far as i'm concerned that

difference and striking rebuff from trump is a little bit of a blow to mccraw especially when he himself bragged about the possibility that he had convinced donald trump to keep u.s. military forces in syria now donald trump says that that's not the case but mcclellan has been insisting that it's him who is responsible for convincing tribe to keep a military presence in syria trump later went on to underline the fact that the united states will be leaving syria as soon as they can as far as syria's concerned i would love to get out i'd love to bring our incredible warriors back home when it came to the iran deal just an hour before the press conference donald trump and the french president they were both very adamant in their position it was a terrible being should have never ever been made we could have made a good deal or a reasonable deal if the around it was a terrible deal we have to take it as a part of the broader picture which is security in the oval room it's insane it's

ridiculous it should have never been made but we will be talking about what we want to do it contains iranian residents in the region and d.c. you it's part of this broad broader picture you're not going to be restarting anything they restarted it they could have big problems bigger than they've ever had before and you can mark it down but after sitting down with the donald it seems the crown has changed his tune somewhat the people don't want the kneebone a call for a number of months so i've been saying that this was not a sufficient do you but it will enable us at least until twenty twenty five to have some control over the nuclear activities we therefore wish to work on a new deal with iran that mr president you were saying that it was no plan b. that. he would go here. preserve no you're talking about a new deal with me why did you change your mind. but when i said there was no plan

b. i usually refer to the fact there is no plan it be he was about climate change rather than iran. what do you have as a bit there option i don't seat what is the what ifs and i all your plan b. i don't have any plan b. for nuclear against against iran thank you. symbolism to the visit by presenting president trump with a treat from a first world war battlefield on the site of the two leaders planting it in the white house garden and get the internet plenty to run with. and so it's a great honor to take part there's a personal veterans or they call witness trees that that lived through the war see around you have continued to grow.

as the final militants a purge from the syrian city of duma kilometers of underground tunnels used by the rebels have been revealed ati has exclusive video from the area that shows the vast network that held much more than just the necessities.

joe while they starve this they harass this they moved around in our blood as you see these tunnels are massive they make catches work on them as well as civilians and they wouldn't feed those who refuse to work and you can see how big they are and how much they have in there is like a city beneath a city. we would be taken to the spot where the fighting with the and they would give as a matter fifteen minutes before it started they showed us how to act and who to shoot the guy he told us what to do with then disappear after that it all depended on luck before the fighting they used to tell us about jihad the martyrs of jihad and about heroic death on the battlefield but other times they treated us like dogs . the russian defense ministry has displayed missile fragments recovered from syria they need to malfunction or fail to reach that target they were part of the bharatiya north by

america the u.k. and france any this month for details now from nicky aaron. well as you know we've been bombarded with two different versions of events of those strikes that hit syria in mid april and today the russian defense ministry really upped the ante by providing some actual tangible evidence of those missiles that it says were either intercepted or simply malfunctioned and this is going to be an embarrassing development for the u.s. side which had lauded the success of those one hundred five as strikes which it said was were precise and overwhelming also dismissing any suggestions by russia that any of those missiles had been intercepted also insisting that the syrian air defense capabilities had been largely ineffective with their syrian missiles merely being fired into open air take a listen with way over one hundred missiles they didn't shoot one down the equipment didn't work too well there equipment. they didn't shoot one you know you

heard all the shots forty and then they shot fifty and there were no course no sure every single one hit its target so i think we can be quite confident and say that the u.s. side is not going to let this lie probably already crafting a response e-mail or response statement should i say as we speak the russian defense ministry also went into detail earlier about the targets of those one hundred five missiles twenty two only twenty two of those one hundred five missiles actually hits their intended targets and this being revealed at that site they actually hit civilian objects rather than the ledge chemical supplies the u.s. has been so persistent upon take a listen just to. some of the missiles don't reach the targets apparently due to malfunctions the real threat to civilians there in civilian buildings at the same time the logic of the u.s. u.k. and france in choosing the targets is unclear they see they were stockpiles of toxic agents there if they were hit by cruise missiles this could lead to

widespread poisoning and if it was for damascus itself tens of thousands of people could have died so this. latest development is probably going to deal a blow to the u.s. presidency ego as well he had boasted as so optimistically about the performance of his missiles and after those strikes even still his popularity on the upturn with his approval rating jumping a few percentage points so this turnabout is not something we could expect him to let lie. world's largest advanced economies want to get a better picture of russia the g. seven nations are planning to set up a special working group to study what they describe as moscow's molong behavior russia was top of the agenda at a gathering of the group's foreign ministers in canada a few days ago. has the story the g seven a club of some of the world's leading industrialized nations tackling the planet's biggest problems from financial crises two military conflicts but it's also the g. eight minus russia and it seems.
