so i'm just curious what's the community there how they go respond to all this and what do you think is 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 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 a merge and see 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. definitely mark clark was killed and i got to say great great work up there great work of a community stand your ground up there in the chemo always a pleasure to have you on thank you so much. thank you for and as we go to break or quarters don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics you covered of facebook and twitter your full shows at our t.v. dot com coming up sean stone breaks down the walls of the modern drug cartel bit.

are the rock at the back nobody gets busted you we need you to get the following let's go. a low as i want to know and i'm really happy to join the father of the thousand and three in the world cup in russia meet the special one. needs to just read the review beyond the team's latest edition of make up as we go so i need to just say look. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president. some want to press. you to go on to be press this is what the four three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the ones in the house. first.

and the classic nine hundred eighty film scarface today's hit netflix series the latin american all powerful all dangerous drug cartel is rampant in our world of pop culture and with us president donald trump's current obsession with them as thirteen gang members in the u.s. cities coupled with monthly even weekly news reports of 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 true well ph d. and author as well those of us 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 forward to 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 but the claim of the book reallocation is that the drug cartels don't exist what is that exactly mean what thank you for deal for to nation to be here and to share some of these c.d.'s 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 operate in the country. it's part of

a. 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. the military expansion. of the federal government into many regions of the country and so what i tried to demonstrate in my book is that drug cartels as we are told. supposedly you know dominate the territories in mexico and challenge state power do not exist such 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 the most immediate that comes to my attention and to 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 these territories . so that certainly makes sense obviously the notion of this sort 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 and the military industrial 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 ideas. 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 drug cartels are 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 for you know from from the military intelligence from police and old knowledge it's really has come through us unchallenged by the media if you survey most of the books that are already. from the journalistic site what you will find is that they represent constantly the same discourse without any mediation without any sort of challenge for example further examination and the legitimize this official information telling us that these are going to stations 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 it's you know these very precarious traffickers that once they're caught you know have no money like in the case of a man right who's now you know extradited us as we all know in prison in new york city and you know in court immediately shown in the real boom there ability which is you know traffickers who inhabit parts of mexico always fleeing the power of the state and and of course are able to produce a massive fortune and to produce some sort of. structure but once they are 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 success 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 you know we have one of the strongest 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 are going to so what i'm trying to show

is that there is 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 and it's going to be a one sided will have shown clearly through a statistical analysis using official numbers. 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. events are happening in

apparel fashion and they intersect each other especially where we're told drug court built or 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 the drug war right and they said that somehow do not object to the operation of the energy of the gas while at the same time you know they're killing in depopulating many areas were big 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 named 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 i don't you know when the same person see 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. expropriation of oil and what's been happening since two thousand and six and on it's a process a political process first 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 that there's been a very period of extraction in many of those areas. a lot of

resistance 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 the 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 or oil and gas are already in mexico and they're gaining all this 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 the 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 cancer. president signed space policy directive three today which did not actually order the creation of a space forest despite what you may have heard actually the commerce department was creating at 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 their satellites and how it's organized by low and on june eighteenth one thousand nine hundred eighty three so this isn't. 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 women while men 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 barge 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 kit for her mission and the press asked if she cried when under pressure so let's celebrate sally ride for the string inspiration and pride she sparked in women across the globe. all right that is our show puta baby remember everyone everyone in this world we are told you loved enough so i tell you all i love you i am to roll with her and to keep on watching those hawks never great days but.

when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying there's just no really hasn't been that we hear even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families want that's going to give them peace it's going to give them justice and we come in saying. not quite we've been through this this isn't the way.

i play too many flips over the. yes so i know the game inside out it's. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch pull the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super manager kill the narrowness and spending two hundred twenty million on one player. it's an experience like nothing else on to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy a great one more chance for. and makes this minute. oh my. god it. was over

by the part i don't know. what. day six of the world cup in russia and poland face though my goal right now while japan have already beaten colombia. the more fans are gearing up for the big game in group a later this tuesday when russia takes hold of egypt with the big question being will it egypt star striker mohamed salah play it's all after his injury or thousands of fans and be descending on some petersburg ahead of the match. muscle has going to be. our team and we'll be on top no salas will frighten us. and in world news a former cia software engineer believed to be the source behind wiki leaks exposure

of the agency's controversial hacking tool faces more than one hundred years in prison over the last just information leaks in its history. a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me make it our own first up let's talk football hall there are three matches across russia on day six of the twenty eighteen fee for world cup and we've just seen japan beat ten man colombia two one that leaves two games to go so let's cross live to our special studio artie's world cup h.q. overlooking central moscow right now. thank. you.

good evening and welcome to day six of our troops coverage of the twenty eighth the world cup here in russia the rain is just finished all that hairspray that i put on the entire year's supply of our team has been wasted because the wind has died down it's turning beautiful now. back did you miss me the correct answer that question by the way for struggling is a yes don't worry you're going to center the football action or any of the analysis let's think about it today there's a group age class between poland and senegal just kicked off the spar tank stated in moscow poland are ranked twice been to the semifinals they're the powerhouse in this game don't rule out senegal though only their second visit to a world cup finals but do you remember this the oldest friends only going back in two thousand and two so they know how to make an impact just kicked off no score as yet now let's bring you a visual treat let's go to the early game of the day this was the only match in

group h. and it's all japan defeat colombia by two goals to one colombia shocking start then they had call a scientist sent off in the third minute of the second week piece the red card see the world cup history sanchez handling susie car was shot there could go or picked himself up to convert the resulting spot and give japan what was a shot lead to muster punching the chances against ten men at this point i surprisingly in the last three world cup matches where a team has had a man sent off i say surprising to the ten men they've managed to go on and at least get a draw and on occasion a win and the trend will it look like continuing when colombia levelled the score this was on thirty nine minutes south americans and themselves their highly disputed free kick they were talking about this all night just outside the area. because. one can. just squeeze the shot into loving the school for a month just to start a new post of people. and special host beach michael b. coming into the studio

a little later the saving of twenty questions for him about that and the final goal of the game japan really took the lead in the seventy third minute came from a call to former says quote moscow midfielder kazuki ponder how would this cross powered home by the head of the asarco japan really dominated possession in the second half and then the four three you got to love this world cup the shocks just keep coming. now the match that everybody is most excited about here in the host nation it is a crunch time table topping russia gearing up to model egypt on tuesday night in the st petersburg clash the second match for both of these teams on thursday russia's final demolition. surprise everybody electrified the home supports really given a boost to this competition very unlucky they played hard and i'm going to defeat to you require in the very last minute of normal time and we'll be looking ahead to this game in greater detail as the evening progresses the teams that already have their training sessions in russia's northern capital and they'll face each other at

the st petersburg stadium is brand new cost a fortune i would argue space ship like design. and the pictures will thousands of pounds of both see so this is. what happened that last. hour an hour and a half with a future i hope everything goes smoothly our team will be on top no psylocke will frighten us because we're going to lose today we are out of the look up so we have to do about it so. i'm how muscle that is going to be. we were incident. at least the last getting schooled. now the spacing building ahead of this match our stop on the job as a marine you know he's not here physically but he's here in spirit he's been

staring into his personal ball. i think that's the match that's the message that is going to decide qualifies for the. for the next for the next round normally they would get three points against saudi she sees their match because you know what i think is a different level of experience than the. men's already for the world for this level of competition so this is a big match russia has to stop solid because solid makes that makes the difference and has to impose the physicality has one of the most important points for the match. if you want a pundit you cost a lot less just head to st petersburg the host city of the game and this is a killie's the cat who works just for a bowl of food much like myself and was straight in there with the prediction

backing russia no down to found it i wonder how many practice it at least the very patriotic that tipping russia just as the killie successfully did tipping russia over saudi arabia and iran over morocco. ok let's get a feel for that this fear now is our correspondent in st petersburg and he's there together with a very special fan of the egyptian national team to take it away. by kevin yes we're here in st petersburg ahead of that. game between russia and egypt kick off is just a little under three hours away and the obviously already building there are thousands of fans here. and you can probably tell that's what so that when the day here in the northern city it's actually been lovely weather up until this point only really taking a rainy day and so lots of these funds around me are actually taking refuge under

the tree of the victory fogs just next to this increases by stadium and actually it's sold in very good spirits or off the ship should the russian fives here mingling with each other taking photos and selfies with each other really getting into the spirit of things though course. the game really key to both sides because russia will be void by them within the first day and they'll be hoping that if they can get the win done there will be very fun to see though they will go through worse for these generations off to losing to europe in their first game they'll be going to try to get the three points and of course behind it's a lot he's been injured since the champions league final he is a should be playing today he was expected to be back for this case so we'll have to wait to see whether he will be fully fit save for woods proceedings but it does

promise to be a really dramatic game lots riding on it for both sides and of course for the russians they will have the huge bulk of the home support the sixty seven thousand you can fit into the stadium firmly on the side. of town with a maze going to be with him that will be i think coming up later they say think and they say it's a snail it's not kevin we did spend the last few days together in st petersburg i think he's still trying to block out the memory at all from my company that's gone so let's see i wish i skate he said the fan festival in saying paint is back i imagine things starting to hate to than now. well you can say that as well but look at the skies they're open and scoring rain.

hardly anybody cares here because the fan fast here and people are gathering for obviously the biggest guy for russia in the last several decades feels like a champions league final in a way for the russians and particularly feels like a champions league final because mohamed salah is everywhere on the st petersburg streets i spoke to a lot of egyptians last night very confident about their star man performing tonight scoring goals against russia and effectively giving the egyptians a hope of qualifying out of this group but russians will have a different plan of course the fans that i managed to speak with they are let's say optimistic but very cautious while not being very much illusions by the fact that the russian national team won the first game five nil the big test is tonight so we're waiting for the rain to finally stop and that will probably happen according to the for.
