that's extraordinary blow my mind i have the need to be in a special group that specifically shows that why you're getting beaten up is because you're part of that crew and what's crazy too is it like it's not like the places you know they're coming from a bad part of the world what i was this year is like these great this is really what he's talking about is he's trying to stop every couple years ago we had a lot of central american women and mostly women and children coming up there because of the exact violence that they talk about that's really that's really awful i mean and you know it's interesting because it's like you know there's a lot of what comes up to is it's like that they're talking about like oh you know gangs are a problem but like i mean you're talking about places like el salvador honduras and guatemala these are the highest rates of murder in the world and one of the salvador where the woman that he reversed this decision on she was not solved are also her is literally one of the most dangerous places to be a woman in the world and he's like well i don't know if they're really really made our helena and that's messed up because it's like when you look at like when you

can when you take you know violence against women and gangs they actually you see this correlation there because look this group's director of survivors foundation bottom all she says want to gang says this is my territory they're talking about everything the houses the businesses and the people and specifically the women in the girls of that area in kids in need of defense report called neither security nor justice that actually states gang presence also limits access to justice for those affected by violence by creating additional barriers to reporting investigation and prosecution further entrenching impunity heightening the need for refugee protection for its victims so for those people say well that's a private problem well no it's not it's a call it's totally an issue there when a gang runs a neighborhood that's an institutional problem yes they control everything in that neighborhood right in some neighborhoods in this world that's the sad truth right and the answer about it incredibly and surprise surprise it's jeff sessions. this is one of those things. that is so backward and so disturbing but it's his bread

and butter it's this recurring reason to want to claiming to want to be like i want to reform immigration so would you know with good people and whatever it's garbage that man is in the pocket of immigration special interests that you know some people get paid by the n.r.a. some people get paid by big banks just sessions is definitely in that special interest group the weird thing about jeff sessions to me is that he's a native as to which is odd because white america white europeans were not actually native to the united states as well as for go throwing that out there but one of the thing is that he's closely and closely tied in the pocket of a network of anti immigration groups that are run by a gentleman named john tam who is a retired i dr and a founder of a number of organizations including a pro eugenics organization. in two thousand and eight he sessions got an award from the anti immigration group numbers usa which was started by dan for

obstructing immigration reform in two thousand and nine the franklin society in another one that was and i gave him an award for obstructing this just actions doesn't understand how economies work he doesn't understand how people work it's it's own and missteps and you know we have a story we know how to go to break or quarter so those we're going to let us know what you think of adopters with government facebook and twitter so your poll shows an hour to dot com coming up we have locked the door of the prison industrial complex and what many are doing to tear down its walls with authority and they are . so to. trump him so much in singapore we certainly rich when it comes to optics but what about the substance both the. clearly looking for

a win the process has started there are plenty of obstacles ahead and no shortage of people whose worst nightmare might come true peace coming to the korean peninsula short term gains at the expense of a longer term growth saudia vesting in the future and products and employees you're taking all of future revenues if you're booking it today just like the man is buying back all the stuff in his own store yes he bought back all of the stuff in his story he has a lot of revenue but now a store is empty and he has nothing to sell so the next quarter he says my sales are zero because i have nothing in the store to sell i bought it all myself so similarly with apple fell by about all the stock they want about the future and when it comes time to report earnings in a year or two from now they'll have nothing to report.

to the kids seem completely stable. to nine other. people in the group who can. who. can show got the movies because i'm listening to. show. them a list. is not so much of a c. one. hundred as a tons of a few. a million. thank

you. all we often talk about the evils of the prison industrial complex military industrial complex there's an all other union of profit and subjugation that has an equal influence over politics and culture here in the united states which is of course the prison industrial complex according to market research firm us world in two thousand and fifteen private correctional facilities were a four point eight billion dollar industry with profits of six hundred twenty nine million dollars and while the union of corporations and prisons is not new the ways in which good people around the country are fighting back against it is which is why today op watchers will be talking with a social justice attorney author and one of the leading thorns in the side of the prison industrial complex for work with national mamas bail out campaign and black

youth project one hundred welcome thank you and it's a pleasure having you on the show and i want to i want to start with just so people get an understanding is what in your opinion is the single biggest misunderstanding people have about the person industrial complex here in the states. i would say that it's necessary or that it must exist i think people can't conceptualize a world in which we don't have prisons or gels and so because people can't conceptualize living in a world without these punitive systems that it's hard to like actually tear down and reduce the prison and jail population so i think it's that it's a necessary evil and that it has to exist and therefore it has always existed even though that's not true as you said it has expanded and transformed in the last forty years the last thirty years and continues to expand and transform never thought about that actually like a war you know what are the other alternatives that we could do would start of jailing people well i think the first thing is to axe the question of why people

are job in the first place right. there's the assumption that people are in jail because they deserve it or they've committed some crime or they're harmful to the community around them and that's just simply not true most people who are incarcerated are victims of crimes or victims of interpersonal violence of community violence most people in jail are have some type of mental illness or disability most people in jail are beef prior to joe are living in poverty so this is gels and prisons have historically and currently been used to how social problems that we fail to address so even before we say like what's the alternative alternative is if we invest in housing transportation food and resources that allow people to live the lives that they want to live then we wouldn't actually need jails and prisons i think generally we have to learn also how to deal with people right so somebody if you have a friend you have a disagreement your friend your first thing isn't to call the police or rest the person is to have a conversation figure out how we can restore the community. but most people who are

in jail or nonviolent crime of poverty of people trying to survive and so we criminalize survival but we don't give people options and resources and we have places in society that currently exist cities that's been largely mounts of their budget on housing large amounts of their budget on education so we have models that actually work in which there are not high levels of jail or prison populations in certain cities and then we have other cities that are predominantly black and brown predominately immigrant predominantly poor who do see like whole communities being transported into jails and prisons because governments fails to invest in these communities i mean we've seen in chicago where you they'd rather spend money on a prison right next to a school in just one door and wander around in there you go right bail is one that you brought up you recently wrote an article on the injustices surrounding the whole bail system and the u.s. justice system you called cash bail the life but blood of the prison industrial

complex one. how is the how is the bail. to see all that president complex and then what how can we change that you know what can we do to to push that away so the prison industrial complex essentially about profit corporations and individuals who are making money off of people being in cages essentially and so cash bell originally is not supposed to be a form of punishment is supposed to be a surety that if you come to if you have a court date and you come to a court date then you have a bill would assure that you'll be at your court date because there's no standard law of how judges should you know a proposed bill then you see district attorneys and judges abusing their power to hold poor people essentially because you can commit any type of crime if you have money to pay your bills and you can get out of jail but this is essentially profiting off of poor people who they know will not have the money to pay for bell

and so currently there's sixty percent of people woman and gels are being held on pretrial bell and again this is before people even go to their first court date. they're essentially being pro saying saying that they're guilty before going through what we called due process and so eighty percent of the people who are currently in women jails or who are identifying identify as woman in these shells are mothers are caretakers are community members and so this is completely disrupts communities and completely disrupt the economic unit and the economic ability for children and other people in the community to thrive and so when people are housed in cages it exasperates your well whatever mental health condition that you have and it makes it more likely that you'll enter into a plea deal so if you want to get out of jail or you want to get back to your family or you just want this to be over with you're more likely to be vulnerable to exploitive and coercive plea deals that district attorneys oftentimes put towards.

for people who can't afford bill and we already know that the public defender's office is underfunded it is under resourced and so there's just not enough resources and representation for people to actually fight against their charges and so the district attorney is going to give you the highest. crime charge then you're going to stay in jail until you admit that you know that she did this crime that you had no due process to prove that you do good otherwise it is easier for the district attorney and things like that to be like oh i can get this plea deal because of my numbers and didn't know everything so i learned you know the general gets reelected and all of that you see that state by state and as a whole the country as a whole you know it's also interesting too is when you peel back the curtain of the military the prison industrial complex you peel back the curtain the percentages of people of color of color and carcer in the united states is truly shocking and i think people it's easy for people to kind of ignore that fact or look beyond it don't see it according to u.s. department justice black u.s. citizens make up thirty five percent of jail inmates and thirty seven percent of

prison inmates yet outside of prison black systems only make about twelve thirteen percent of the total u.s. population that's a huge discrepancy that a nobody can sit and say that that's you know there's not something afoul there right and you would have to necessarily believe that black people are inherently criminal in order to justify those numbers right so because these people are criminals and therefore they should be incarcerated and i think the cause of this them from slavery colonialism right again when you have. when you can no longer produce labor or profit through slavery then you find different forms of enslaving people to produce profit because we live in a racist society we live in a sexist society we live in a trance phobic you know society then you jails again are used to house people who have been other by the state and who the state has deemed you know not humans are not worthy of the resources of the state and so you have an interesting enough why

you have the. numbers of incarceration going down for specifically like black man and men in prison you have increasing rates of incarceration among women specifically in the wake of nine hundred eighty s. on the war on drugs and so you have so many women who are being criminalized for everything criminalized for being pregnant criminalized for having an abortion criminalized for. trying to survive on welfare or so many different forms there's thousands and thousands of laws on the books and so here and there so much about it because having grown up in wisconsin i watched the whole thing play out in the media of the wealth the welfare queen where we were just said so much through the media and local politicians this idea that scores of black women were getting on buses and chicago and driving up to walk and getting double like these women don't have the money to take a bus across town and these people want and the politicians are literally saying no no they're spending all this money to come up and stay in hotels to get

a check right and nobody questions right and again like even if that was the case then it's a failure of the state and the failure of the state i think we have to keep going back to there's actual politicians like individuals it's not like a corporate individuals who are making decisions every day in congress or in their local state houses to criminalize people and it like under jeff sessions where expanding the role of criminalization we're expanding the role of police officers expanding the role of district attorneys to incarcerate more and more people and i know you said earlier black citizens this is even exasperated when you're undocumented or documented and the expansion of our immigration detention centers i think black immigrants are twice or three times as likely to be deported on a criminal offense or any other you know offense than any other immigrant even though we make up a very small percentage of the immigrant population and so we see racism being compounded we're also in immigration detention centers where you have ice agents that have fool unchecked privilege and power to literally imprison people for years

and the sad thing is this is not something that's new to this this country. something that's been like you said decades and years in the making building up to this and i think a lot of this falls upon the fact that people are getting educated on the mainstream media doesn't necessarily talk about it or get as in-depth as like you know people out there are you know fighting against us in the streets and things like that people like yourself and i really want to thank you for coming on today and breaking this down for those because it's helpful that's good and thank you for the work out there that you're doing level always a pleasure thank you thank you very much thank you. mother nature isn't happy a study released this week shows that meat only eighty percent of our diet is using eighty three percent of our farmland and that whole going to get taking my actually be the right course after all justin trudeau god has come up at first funding three and i have billion dollars buying an oil pipeline when he claims to care about the environment now some say that this is just a trick of a life that made as i broke my goes falling off is saying it's payback for double

crossing canada's indigenous people and the whence they protect and in africa eight of the thirteen oldest the tree is have inexplicably died over the last decade and it isn't disease it's climate change some of these trees are more than two thousand years old but now their deaths are being caused by agrees temperatures and drought since they are trees can store nearly thirty thousand gallons of water in their trunks the lack of water to store is literally killing them major is here to remind us of what it means to be a human and shall not be eyebrows right off your face of most and whether it's well i still have my good eyebrows i love the nation i love nature yeah wow that video of justin trudeau but it was super creepy and super great but what were you told me earlier that it's probably just a break up it probably is really a make up issue or the sarcasm and then the other eye because it makes this he has like what he needs to is this like so of the rest of the time around and also stop pipelines that put oil into indigenous people's. that would help and let's try to

do something to save those trees and alberto please come on people we can do this ingenuity all right that is our show for today remember of one in this world are not told that we are loved up for tell you all i love you i am a capitalist keep watching those hawks rape in my. mind is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos i'm in billfish dismissed it to me like a million pieces and my complicity is going up to the study hall maybe there. will john without a doubt. the only palestinians is who gets the most help from his jerusalem counterparts i don't think there's some of those who in the world under the oak

vision did not only could do this. and though it is a long shot that it's got this lady in the most of it you had i'm going to continue muslim seem to do more commitments also don't piss off. that. killed. last. night. you don't consume and enjoy the whole joyful day on the single month on

a song that equaled on its insistence on. the lakers are still saying if i can manage and. don't need to tell him the will move it up to those old wooden missiles as it does out as it all took to say. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've matter us as a rich one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the old for the rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit first shocking and declining roasted one hundred thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial hard but don't but the numbers overwhelms. the only number you need to remember is

one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only food but. just. love it. headlining right now there's just one day left before teams from all around the globe start to compete in russia's twenty eighteen world cup when there's already

been announced as fee for choosing who will host the tournament in twenty twenty six. counties top pundit for this year's world cup manchester united manager joe say marino gives us his predictions for the final stages. the first of course will be. emotional. yeah. plus after the historic summit in singapore donald trump starts a new era in relations with north korea the questions are raised as to whether pyongyang can really trust washington.

hello for me in the team here at r.t. h.q. in moscow my name's colin bright welcome to world news this wednesday it's now three pm here in the russian capital first for you it's almost upon us it's the eve of the main event on the football calendar the fifa world cup set to kick off in just a day here in russia with everyone from players to fans and referees gearing up for this huge competition the opening match is going to take place here in moscow on thursday between the host russia and saudi arabia in just over twenty four hours time from now. and in fact the first upsets of the world cup twenty eighteen the spanish football association has sacked the national team coach just two days ahead of their first game julian announced on tuesday that he'd accepted the job as manager of rail

madrid it appears the spanish football officials were unhappy with that move but i don't want to go we're all here because we've had to dismiss the manager of the national team you know the question now is if that move will affect the spanish squads morale of one team or tape we've got one of the very best minds in the game just say marino he was predicting that they'd make it to the quarter finals well now he's going to be turning his focus as to who he believes or go all the way. portugal and brazil if i say portugal people will say that i'm doing emotional jol and i think. yeah might be the best of all for sure for the final i will first of all go for the school. and i was into the german.

nor the want. in brazil germany is the revenge of the result. so brazil will finish so. you know it does mean is not just. to come to. extra time penalties the level of play is that they take a penalty. that is only one small penalty and that the last battle to one takes let's see another one takes one. and that leaves to go to magic. was a very funny exercise. but. an all or knows probably didn't even go over the group for years and probably some of the teams that i didn't include in the last sixteen probably there are going to be in the quarter finals and semifinals and finals for police and predictable and that's the main

reason to be the beautiful game i think you'll enjoy i don't think it will get totally different i don't understand why do you need another just i want to know well you can never have too many marino's so for the world cup we found the perfect co-host for you so much expertise from just a movie deal don't miss it funnel to guys i'm not going to work with him he will take all the attention and i want another co-host. for more of the manchester united manager predictions just head to the dot com take a look and if you think you know better you can challenge him just head to facebook or twitter and use the hash tag match merino. my quick update on the teams now there's some good and bad news for egypt their star man mohamed salah has returned to training at least he suffered a shoulder injury in their recent champions league final and it was unclear where they would be able to play in russia but the liverpool striker is still on likely to feature in egypt opening game against uruguay this coming friday. brazil's

training session on your screens now is named for his recent injury scares the brazilian superstars bouncing around armed with eggs the squad chose an unusual way of saying happy birthday to one of their team mates neymar parity the ringleader of that but got a good self. more news out of thursday's kick off fifa members voted in moscow but an hour ago now as to who will host the twenty twenty six world cup. so the winner. will. be. next to us.

so the history has been made that twenty twenty six world cup will be going across the atlantic to north america the joint bid by the united states mexico and canada comes as little surprise if i'll be completely honest because in the run up to this vote actually the have a transparent open public vote conducted at a few for congress electing a world cup host country so in the run up to the vote a lot has been said about how strong the north american bid is how little there is to be done in terms of infrastructure in terms of transportation whilst the big coming from morocco was somewhat inferior in that respect more than sixteen billion dollars were had to be invested if morocco had won the right to host the twenty twenty six world cup but in case of the united states not only in case of the north american but not only the actual spend the expenditure on the infrastructure would

have been smaller but the profits the projected profits would have been bigger as well so the vote was overwhelming in. the side off the north american bed with more than one hundred thirty member states one hundred thirty four to be precise voting for the north american bid with around sixty placing their ballots for morocco that's about thirty three percent and now obviously the world cup in twenty twenty six will be going to north america despite all the speculation that trumps rhetoric in the last let's say couple of months even trying to. this bit and in a way bully the countries into voting for the north american bid despite all that north american became stronger some may say it was mind over heart but in in this respect it won mattered to the people of mexico us and canada because they will be hosting the biggest event in world football in eight years from now so here we are in twenty to twenty six football fans are going to have to travel to the united states

mexico and canada for their teams it's going to be the biggest since the top of the began in one hundred thirty as well it will consist of forty eight teams sixteen more than the current format football consultant and former fee for communications director walter gregorio told me that organizing the event over three countries has its own set of problems. but it easier to try and host this massive tournament in place or does it make more sense to try and absolutely absolutely want to and this would be kind of your only factor the need to go to morocco already when you have one single country but different states it's very complicated and you can imagine if you have three different legal systems in all. it's for sure more more complicated than if you have one single country or the end of the money is talking if you see the forecast is a more than fourteen billion u.s. dollars.
