the fact that they didn't take the lives of the people seriously when. demanding that the personnel administer these powerful drugs out on the streets they need to be disciplined they need to be held accountable some of them need to be fired beyond that there needs to be a retraining of police officers as well as medical professionals so that the lines are no longer blurred in terms of the different levels of responsibility and that they are focused more on the individual and not on maintaining a system that unfortunately oprah says people in circumstances like these now the mayor also issued a statement saying that police should not be requesting medical personnel to administer drugs to any suspects or any individuals and medical professionals should not listen to the police that was you know the right thing to say in that moment however steps could have been taken prior to this report being made public

to begin to remedy the situation and i would also like to see the mayor as well as the city council take things a step further by demanding a third party independent investigation it probably needs to be someone outside of the state of minnesota who should conduct this investigation and to ensure that there is discipline and that there's policy changes and that there's accountability in this situation where i was concerned that this matter would have been swept under the rug but so many of us have used our voices we've taken a social media we've picked up the phone we've made phone calls and it has escalated the situation to the point where city leaders now have to do something about what is happening. i mean you know i'm not trying to bag a minister. but this isn't the first time there's been a minnesota police department is out a lot of. bad a lot of bad yeah and the last few years you can definitely see them i mean from

the shooting the steel and everything that happened with and you know they've been major line of fire lack of a better term how is the community you just mentioned you know people are writing letters things like that how is the community up in minneapolis as a whole here and yet another you know look this is what the police are doing again and really i can't see the justification for any of this i cannot see the justification for the police saying hey let's go throw some kind of meaning to this person in the course of doing our business because let's also remember that any interaction you have with the police you need to have all your senses about you you're dealing with the authorities and if you're suddenly drugged with a sensually what's a horse tranquilizer a street drug it also used to yell that you can have your faculties to know from down left or right in that situation no matter where you wind up so i'm just curious what's the community there how they go respond to all this and what do you

think's going to happen next. well there are plans for a press conference to be held tomorrow at three o'clock amongst activists in the community who are outraged about this situation and who are demanding accountability people are have also been urged to show up at the next public safety subcommittee hearing the minneapolis city council which is taking place this this thursday so i expect the city council chambers to be packed with folks who are outraged who are concerned and who are demanding that change come swiftly we're also asking that the report be completed as soon as possible so that the public can be made aware of all of the specifics of what has happened but we're not going to rest until we see change because this is more evidence of corruption within the minneapolis police department it's also evidence of. what is sometimes an inappropriate relationship between minneapolis police and emergency medical

responders i don't know if you all are aware of this but when jim r. clarke was killed in minneapolis in november of two thousand and fifteen that was a result of emergency medical professionals calling the police and claiming that john mark karr a twenty five year old african-american man was acting belligerently and when people you know saw the videotape of him outside the ambulance that was that could not have been further from the truth but. after lamar clark was killed and i got to say great great work up there great work in the community of stand your ground up there and it came always a pleasure to have you on thank you so much. thank you for and as we go to break call quarters don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics you covered on facebook and twitter see our full shows at our t.v. dot com coming up sean stone breaks down the walls of the modern drug cartel but with author and ph d. as well those of iowa and later we will take a ride on the legacy of astronaut sally stay to.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy for and do you shouldn't let it be an arms race in this on all sides very dramatic development is only going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very

critical time to sit down and talk. and the classic nine hundred eighty s. film scarface today's hit netflix series narcos the latin america an all powerful all dangerous drug cartel is rampant in our world of pop culture and with u.s. president donald trump's current obsession with m.s. thirteen gang members in the u.s. cities coupled with monthly even weekly news reports a vicious cartel killings taking place south of the u.s. border it's safe to say that the concept and mythology of the all powerful latin american drug cartel is alive and well in both the news media and washington politics as well but is what we know about the cartels even the truth well ph d.

and author as well those of allah is now challenging that dogma and his new book the cartels do not exist drug trafficking and culture in mexico earlier our own sean stone sat down with the vala about his challenging new book. as well those thank you so much for joining me i'm really looking for talking about this important subject which with you which is the issue of drug cartels especially in mexico our neighbor state over the years we've seen numbers about how hundreds of thousands of people have been killed as a result of the drug wars and obviously at the hands of both. paramilitaries government police and also the cartels themselves but you have a new book that is in spanish translated to english yet but the the but. name of the book reallocation is that the drug cartels don't exist what is that exactly mean well thank you for depredation to be here and to share some of the say the us what i mean by drug cartels in that exists is the fact that what we think happens

in mexico is related to this so-called drug organizations there are drug cartels as we are told they operate in the country. it's part of a political agenda that has been pushed in the mexico through the national security apparatus of the united states first and then into the mexican government to further military. to military expansion. of the federal government into many regions of the country and so what i tried to demonstrate in my book is that the drug cartels as we are told. supposedly you know dominate the territories in mexico and challenge state power do not exist such and that instead what we got is a very violent. imposition of federal forces special through the military in many regions of the country with various objectives in mind then the most immediate that

comes to my attention in two others that have been researching this very same subject is of course the appropriation of many of the natural resources ripe for extraction in mexico and this is the case for example of you know the state of. the state of chihuahua where you have many of these regions with a lot of the vast reach they since for example gas shale gas and of course oil and minerals that are ripe for extraction and that the military justify. to take over so instead of really having this drug cartels fighting each other we really have is the military expansion into this territory. so that certainly makes sense obviously the notion of this. of dialectic where you know you declare a war on something whether it's terror or drugs and then you basically start to pump money into the you know the war state to the military complex in a sense and then use that military to basically extract natural resources makes

total sense but how do you mean that the cartels don't exist i mean is there no cartel structure that as far as we understand like the cartel and the idea of sort of bosses and drug lords who are who have maybe thousands thousands of men working for them and are basically running these trafficking operation well what the main problem with understanding what really. supposed to be is that most of what we know comes from official institutions right so most of what we think we understand about them comes directly from state agencies from the from from the military intelligence from police and old knowledge it's really has come through us unchallenged by the media if you serve the most of the books that are already. from the journalistic site where you will find these that they represent constantly the same discourse without any mediation without any sort of challenge here except

for further examination and the legitimize this official information telling us that these organizations are really that powerful but if you really look into their activity in what happens once they start being challenged by the military say for example the case of this in a lot cartel what you quickly find is that these traffickers are far smaller than we think and their power do not really serve. the state in specially not that of u.s. intelligence so what you get instead is you know this very precarious traffic courts that once they're caught you know have no money like in the case of a man right who's now you know extradited as we all know in prison in new york city and you know in court immediately shown in in the. real boon their ability which is you know traffickers who inhabit parts of mexico always fleeing the power of the state and in that of course are able to produce

a massive fortune and to produce some sort of. structure but once they're confronted with official power the mediately crumble so what is very interesting to notice here is that i'm not of course at all denying that traffic or you know the trafficking it's an important issue of course it is but what i'm trying to say here is that we need to pay more attention to this expansion of the military apparatus and the way this accompanies this discourse at the same time proclaiming the superiority of drug cartels so this is the most ironic moment in mexico in history because while we hear that drug cartels are taking over the country we have you know one of the largest investments in the security apparatus of the country right since two thousand and nine on the public spend it you're in the military and federal police has doubled up in mexico so what nobody has been able to explain so far is how you know we have one of the strong this military in our history in

mexico's history while at the same time we have the expansion of the supposed expansion of these so-called drug and stations so what i'm trying to show is that there is a correlation between in my book that there's a correlation between the presence of the military in those areas where drug cartels supposedly are fighting and they're challenging. the state for control and the rights of violence and i'm not the first one to say it for example in mexico sociologist got in on this got on a one sided will that's shown clearly through a statistical analysis using official numbers they're rising violence in many parts of the country were. where we're told drug cartels are fighting coin sites exactly with the arrival of. the military and police forces in the socal war against drugs so what you have in the end. the violence has a direct correlation to the presence of the military i'm not saying of course that the military is doing will divine this but it is definitely true and it can be and

he has been proven that the presence of the military is a condition of possibility for most of the violence in mexico that at the same time accompanies the energy reform in the country right so these two events are happening in apparel fashion and they intersect each other especially where we're told drug court builds are fighting say for example my colleague. in professor at the george mason university has recently published a book called ink where she clearly shows for example. exploitation of shale gas is going sailing with this drug war right and somehow do not object to the preparation of the energy of the gas while at the same time you know they're killing in the populating many areas where the gas is located so there's a lot of. research that there is spending on the part of econet of academics and

journalists to clarify exactly what we say when we name the war on drugs and how to explain this correlation of these two events right the energy reform and expansion of the military apparatus in mexico. and when you see the energy reform taking place in mexico what do you mean exactly by that i mean certainly you have pemex which is this massive state owned oil company as i understand it but are we seeing more privatization or what's taking place right so that since two thousand and six specially with the presidency of felipe because they don't you know when the same person sees that the clear the war on drugs immediately from day one we have seen this new agenda of pushing for energy reform as you know mexico has been very protective of its natural resources going back to. the one nine hundred thirty s. expiration of oil and what's been happening since two thousand and six and then it's a process a political process for us that has been undoing all of the many of those locks

that were protective of many of the natural resource especially old but also now gas and minerals and and with it there's been i guess a very period of extraction in many of those areas where a lot of assistance could have a rice and where it not for the supposedly drugs. fighting against each other so why do you get this energy reform has been occurring on their own at the same time the government is selling this war against drugs and in while with this of course many of these terrorists have been opened up for immense fortunes you know exxon mobil is in it. energy you know it's all over the north. and b.p. many companies and gas are already in mexico and they're gaining all the incredibly rich contracts from the federal government and it's part of the i guess one of the most sensible topics coming in the presidential election of july first you know one

of the things that the candidate on the left has been arguing as one of its main focus of the platform has been precisely that every vision of this context because there's a lot of fortunes that are being asked right now as we speak that has been gone unchecked in this process of licit patient so what you get is a very obscure political process accompanied by this very violent security apparatus that at the same time it's in my opinion independent of others. you know the appropriation of this of this areas by. the war on drugs. president faced. policy directive three today which did not actually order the creation of a space force despite what you may have heard it actually task the commerce department with creating data and traffic management services for space first to

mitigate space junk and second to make it easier for the private sector to track and monitor what's in the skies above their satellites and how it's organized below and on june eighteenth one thousand nine hundred eighty three physicist an astronaut sally ride became the first american woman in space at the age of thirty two she was and remains the youngest american to have ever traveled into space and it's like being a trailblazing woman woman sally ride preferred to be judged on her merit not on her gender as the other woman of the one nine hundred seventy eight class of the space program she wanted to be judged on a bar just as high as the men and despite the fact that she worked just as hard excelled above and beyond expectations now as the thought she would want to make up for her mission and the press asked if she cried when under pressure so let's celebrate sally ride for the string inspiration and ride she sparked in women across the globe. all right that is our show puta baby remember everyone everyone

in this world we are told the love bug so i tell you all i love you i am i robot i'm talking to people are watching those hawks never great days. don't commit the sloppy corruption in the u.k. that's what people respect you for the most horrifying bottlers of corruption there's a concierge of global banking corruption and they do a fine job at it but they don't do it here in shantytown.

oh. i i. i. i. i. could decide who will make it to the playoffs. in other developments.

joint military drills. for invasion. so with your world's top stories on the very latest from electrifying the world cup welcome to the program here on alt. in volgograd victory was far from straightforward it's looking lived until the ninety first minute to seal the deal with the head by captain harry kane ultimately saving the day of the r.c.

team was joined by star co-hosts peter schmeichel and magister united boss of georgia money for keeping an eye on that game monday's. you've been watching the first half they have my suite in south korea nil nil who's got the upper hand she said i don't think sweden is his favorite to win this match would you expect a tie game then today yes i know i wouldn't be surprised if south korea were in so much. meeting on. the final game tonight in a different group as the players as a tactical system if you play against an inferior team creates them problems so i thinking of it as more than enough to win in. belgium to take on what you make of this game then what should we make of panama i

would consider them one of the teams that if they get the points what an amazing. what an amazing achievement for bama and if they get the points what. a match this is for belgium all england to lose. to lose two points against one i'm sure. i feel very very happy for the ing them boys because if they hadn't got there the next couple. they would have been charitable for them they would have been crucified by the by the that the british media and i'm not sure that they go completely free because the second half was awful one of the things that of course we've seen in this world cup are that the big guns not quite doing it and women did

it they labored to a two one win but the got three points on the board that cannot be said for argentina can't be said for brazil as a lot of other teams so when you put them in the context it's a good win it's a terry good win because at the end of the day it's all about the three points and said one man who didn't do what he was on the field to do was hurricane off tottenham harry kane is in the right spot had simple. call with ninety minutes and thirty seconds captain of the team have to know that this is the definition of a big play a major major feat amazing experience. i spoke this side to get out of emotional games she knows it well you never know going to go so great to score early and then say really well we don't know if i'm knocking with a penny awful and it's just about come a kid time to believe and i made it difficult i struck him but. it was just that

then i'm very impressive with i'm very impressed with how it came out so. enormous responsibility on his shoulders to not only score the goals but also to lead the team and he's not going noisy by the way here behind you they actually need to hear that the drums are starting and then one their game volgograd peter all over is done there for us peter just when we fought it was over a last minute winner how delighting in funds where you are relief which is i think as we can now see extended to happiness people a very very pleased certainly england fans very pleased we thought when. the largest body of england found the loudest crowd of english fans was white. that goal and it's a hurricane school that went on in that ninety minutes very good. nods can we go to you i even found it on there we go what's it been like how you found the i was

going to hear nothing about bush on her side how to show i was told don't bring your phone because they'll talking to you i mean you've heard everything. i would say to people to go and find out for yourself you know politicians we let them get on the do what they good today put their agendas and i just want to come watch for old people at this festival to walk off it russia the moment you want so you know the suits first alehouse you know really one cool good on them is doing well we decided to come and we came in and we just found people to be super friendly brand new stadium fantastic atmosphere fantastic people focus right to say to today's events have been very impressive very large very vocal they will be a group to watch through this tournament the attitude of their sons who i think has been absolutely brilliant while it being here when we do want to our really very sort of rotis or kilo's mark know hopefully the second level of the second game

pestilent is i'm here best to look to you and i knew that before the game the hard being that british media reports other media reports about a plague a fly in volgograd which a thread into this from the game for players and also found so like how bad was the during the day absolutely horrific you know during the day horrible i was swarmed with them i went for a run this morning and when i washed up when i went in the shower afterwards i think i washed about two or three thousand of them out of my head they died out in the evening thankfully i don't think they played any part in the game but during the daytime games in volgograd they could well be so little child. and i paid not say that's the game in the next time paloma get expected to win but then it's all about belgian because belgium didn't start the best but they came out on top white easily in the end kind of a not the best team have to say after

a few times. belgium they did what i had to do today they beat them three nil yeah . looks comfortable at the end but they've been a belgium didn't play well but then again belgium are one of the dark horses one of the the maybe favorites to win this tournament people in general think that they have a fantastic squad problem because i'm very often this is a belgian is divided into two so it got a from each part in the got a french and at times the infighting between the two groups as close that it was all to be not so good but. some of the manager has worked very very hard of that and claims that's a really good team spirit within in the squad but and it's to the you know it's a long long way to go away but they're looking all right so far three know the wind in the bag well in the first five days of this world cup is going fast peter is that five days in that we have seen the big boys fail to impress underdogs like

iceland on their run securing some at big scalps on the two million fans here flocked to russia to witness the action well they have been left disappointed.

any rumors about like russian hooligans or russian hackers or while in america. russian spy how many people are spying on you right now. probably living telling people are watching the film i stuck with him is the same old sport and i see in the in japan i. could cope with the stuff as i know a bit of a. love for the military.
