did you hear those stories that aren't talked about that often of like you know coca-cola making fand just to do business with the nazis you know her and them i think. there's a view of the computer company making the numbers counting machine i think it will regionally made like the number counters for the concentration camps you know the first computer you have you know it reminds me a lot of that we're like corporate mentality just doesn't puts aside like on their cover their face they'll be like oh we really care a lot so sorry but we'll still make money off of you was the kind of the point i mean it's we will figure out a way to make as much money as we can and part of that is not spending money as to whether it's immigration or it's putting jobs overseas the truth is that corporation that has a politician in their pocket they only care about themselves they don't care about their tax breaks to help you they don't care about these more jobs to help you they don't care whether tariffs help you the consumer or the employee they care about
7:31 am
themselves their board members and this is a perfect example of how entrenched it is oh yeah here are. just some of the the companies will run it out here's a hewlett packard and birch rises yes your printers i believe thomson reuters microsoft motorola solutions and power are just some of the companies some of the companies with these ice contracts in the last year or two years last couple months even as early as may we are talking about and what really jumps out to me is this rather like a slip really interesting little company problem tear rioter thiel and if you had a lot peter thiel billionaire you know shop staff entire news organizations. they said mean things about him on the internet i guess yeah so you know. one of the ones i think that sort of struck me that was so odd was reuters. is. this idea. between powell interior and reuters now pelletier is one that we don't
7:32 am
really know much about the things you might be going what the heck is this i've never heard of it so this is a pal and here is a cia backed firm that is used by law enforcement across the country so sheriff's departments marshals all of law enforcement it's behind. a very controversial set of software and we've talked about it on this show that predicts the likelihood that someone will commit a crime it's a very minority report it's pre-crime it's their first john and to this person looks like they're going to be trouble so in twenty thirteen it's client list was the cia the f.b.i. the n.s.a. the centers for disease control the marine corps the air force special operations command west point and the i.r.s. maybe they're trying to figure out if someone's going to is. probably going to cheat on their taxes to fifty percent of its businesses in the private sector and in-q tel if you don't know what that is it would be the cia's investment arm or
7:33 am
a little house fund angel fund for the best stuff out there was an early investor of the whole. i want you to bring up before we do reviews of the also reuters the losers of this bothered me started i couldn't get it off my head i just think it was like peter feel he's you know shady here's a little more c but reuters was the one that really a. subsidiary of the news agency workers is the thomas reiter special services so what they did is they signed a six point eight million dollars contract with ice in march and has for active agreements with them so the contracts what they stipulate is that reuters will provide support for ice is inside. and removal operations unit and its mission to locate arrest and remove criminal aliens that pose a threat public safety also the c.e.o. of thomas reiter special services steve ridley is on the board of the ice
7:34 am
foundation on nonprofit that supports that members of i posted the cost. from one border issue to another while the united states border with mexico has dominated the news cycles of late controversy is now brewing on the northern border between the united states and canada and the form of tuscan tuscan is short for a tip off u.s. a hear us canada is the name of a highly secretive anti-terrorist database seized by the canadian border and immigration officials to detain interrogate arrest and my entry to anyone found on it and the secretive list used to detain folks crossing the border isn't enough to raise a few eyebrows the real twist of this story as i think u.s. actually controls and i just the list itself artie's out of it as more it's an american databased used by canadian authorities hundreds of pages of documents were detained by the u.k. as the guardian to canada's freedom of information act which allude to the american
7:35 am
list named tuscon being used as a secondary source of information to canada's already substantial no fly list the don't fly list called the passenger protect program shows known and suspected terrorists were forbidden from flying in or out of canada it is estimated that list one hundred thousand names. however is a different animal especially when applied to canada most notably the canadian government has offered a way out travelers can apply to have their names removed from the no fly list this is not the case for tuscon which has the personal information of six hundred eighty thousand people who are believed to be linked to terrorism the canadians of the database are at the mercy of u.s. officials who have abs. no obligation to foreign nationals so good luck getting off that list tucson also goes beyond the airport centric no fly list and that is also used in every land and sea border in canada as well as visa and immigration
7:36 am
applications critics say the biggest problem with american lists of this kind is that they're inaccurate forty percent of the names on the f.b.i.'s list have no connection to terrorism and some say these lists are racially biased even with the problems at hand canada has chosen to move forward with an updated tuscon system the guardian obtained documents which show that the canadian government has worked for the past three years to expand its involvement in tuscon without public acknowledgement canadian authorities say that procedures have been introduced to ensure the u.s. database is accurate but with the information be controlled in the states it is difficult to gauge how much input canada really has in tuscon in toronto i'm alex mileage r t. so do you think of like twenty sixty there's going to be a you know automotive virtual reality trivial pursuit game that's going to be like back in twenty eighteen was there a u.s. border that wasn't having some kind of controversial moves have large associated
7:37 am
with it i mean the atlantic's got what the fracking off field boil drilling off shore but you know now canada is as this like a horribly controversial tuscon i mean my goodness we all know how terrible the government is of making lists and checking them twice and eventually once about terrorists i mean no we've known as the united states government under obama under bush under trump it doesn't matter who it's under it doesn't matter about the administration if you terrible system for tracking bad guys first we don't track the bad guys we already know are bad i'm not trying to be sexist in jordan we know you know that he said it not me so you have this majority of people that we can't keep track of already we don't know what they're doing we don't know what this person is doing we don't know where anybody is but we're going to expect the united states government to come up with another terrorist watchlist that we're told will you share those time we figured out the words to his candidate like outsourcing. i mean you know one of the i'm like i don't think you want to buy one and one of the
7:38 am
weird parts about this is that though it's used in canada it's actually maintained exclusively by the u.s. and there's no actual clear process to have your neighbor removed from the list no and you're talking about like six hundred eighty thousand people on this list there's no way to you know your personal information could be on that list stuff could be complete and accurate you know there were babies on the terrorist watch list like three months old or are sending money overseas or something so they are all believed by u.s. authorities to be linked with terrorism making tuscon this affront to essentially as a second no fly list that's cloaked in secrecy so another secret. but again us please all have links to terrorism but we all know that the procedure the methodology that they come apart come to to get those names on the list is very broken has no no
7:39 am
real science and all of them secret. all of them say how do i get out of i end up on this list well that's come we can't tell you that you're on the list that's national security you know what's also interesting too is the with this because the u.s. controls you know the database essentially you could be cleared by connect canada as like oh you're safe your friend you can go across the border but you could still be detained because the u.s. has controlled the list like you can you can be cleared by canada because the u.s. doesn't take you off the list then suddenly you could still be detained and listening just bureaucratic well you mess then there is are the only guarantee you this list is not full of people who are blonde hair blue eyes. with names like tabitha wallace and i think these are definitely i mean we just saw last week that there was a girl who was jogging along the border between v.c.m. and washington state job too far and was held in the united states for two wigs you want to why because she looked like me you know she was french but she had dark
7:40 am
skin dark hair everything else and of course like african-american or terrorists if you're brown any of the brown persuasions and you come by a border you're suspect you don't realize that's racist that is just institutionalized seeping out racism that's here in this country for so long about a novel new idea how about we get rid of borders completely they're just invisible that's all we don't need them really you so just saying all right as we go to break court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered of facebook and twitter see our poll showed r t v dot com coming up we had the pittsburgh to talk to talk the police killing a teenager and one road for a second with roots on the ground community organizer best to gibson state to. you're watching the.
7:41 am
join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent minus minus two years some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business show you can afford to miss the one and only boom
7:42 am
but. what is really good thought is dross texting plus it's taken care of i just placed i have a feeling you could function most of that from a company for the first i would just. as static. the problem is that we can allow a spode within that state they call a nicely him in this non part of sweden plan. and i'd like to just look something that month decked out. will not cut and paste ups must stop stop stop stop the bullshit cocobolo my culture is crisp country and we don't do things like that and we shall you if you do then we hate you and some day hopefully you will do
7:43 am
something about the stuff. we cannot be naive about this cannot attract more gangsters rapists and these words actually that are tearing down this city and we wants legal to be faced with this currently. we want most of the people who live here in dollars to go back. to. the city of pittsburgh is in mourning and protest following the shooting death of teenager and juan rose the second has now joined the long and tragic list of unarmed black citizens shot dead by u.s. police officers in a story that has become all too familiar since the police shooting death of michael
7:44 am
brown in ferguson missouri back in two thousand and fourteen and one rose was shot three times last tuesday june nineteenth as he along with another passenger ran from a parked car while police arrested and handcuffed the driver police pulled the vehicle over because it had matched the description of a vehicle allegedly used in a drive by shooting earlier that day now just over a week later as rose is laid to rest protesters and mourners are calling for justice and answers from the city of pittsburgh and joining us now is dustin gibson one of those protesters and organizers who are seeking justice for anton rose and his family thank you for joining us. thank. you dustin i want to start by asking you you know what what are the requests the demands of what a war called of the people out there protesting in pittsburgh you know what what are they want what do they feel what will bring justice in this in this tragic death. well i'm not sure we're well we're actually bringing justice nor my
7:45 am
quick to answer that but i do know that not only do the community one officer charged but convicted as well. one of the things about the officer who pulled the trigger on and on michael rose is currently on administrative leave as a resident of the city of pittsburgh what has bothered you most about the handling of this case by authorities including the allegheny county district attorney's steves appollo you have some opinions about that. well. i am a resident city official. the murder happened in a borough right outside of the city called east is very. but i think the most. the most depressing fact about it is if i were to shoot a seventeen year old on video as he run away from me three times in the back i would most likely be in jail or dead now the officer is at home or in another
7:46 am
location with his family. and he's not held accountable for the things that the rest of us would be. and why that's what gets to really the heart of this kind of thing is the fact that you do have this on accountability all the time you've got someone shot someone in the back you know running away from them no weapon whatsoever and you know shoot somebody dead cold but yet still nothing no charges that we've seen or anything like that is that what really gets to the heart of this issue for the people of pittsburgh. yes and this is unfortunately not the first time this is happened we've had. a number of police killings in recent years bruce kelly jr was murdered in january of two thousand and sixteen by port authority police christopher tompkins was shot through his front door after he called the police for robbery just last year by the pittsburgh for these so this is happened numerous times and we haven't seen charges or
7:47 am
a conviction on any of the officers that have done this what i think is happening right now is the city is rising up in a way that we haven't seen and the support is coming from every direction. justice is served for and to our roads and. what do you think. what do you think. is is happening that's new because there is a sort of watershed moment there's a tipping point where a community says enough is enough where you know one one group of people or finally just say we have to do something is that what do you think it is because you see so many of these week after week and month after month it's been a very long list as long as we've been doing this show some six hundred episodes says day one this has been one of the major stories and it keeps happening and we're angry because it shouldn't like there's no reason someone shouldn't be held
7:48 am
accountable what do you think it is about the n one rose case that just takes it to a level where finally this is enough and serious action will need to happen. i think this has a lot to do with. the person that antwan rose was. in attendance at the funeral folks the way they talked about him talking about a seventeen year old student i like to ski and like to snowboard and smiled all the time and volunteered at a free store and was an honor student and was a poet and all of these things i think when people see images of him and hear stories about him they see the kids that are doing great things in their communities they see their sons and their nephews and their brothers and i think that it's motivated and inspired people in a way that i haven't seen before and it's not just activist organizers or community builders at these protests and rallies it's grandmothers in trans women of color
7:49 am
and white people and young black people young black people leading these efforts it is people that are the most marginalized within our communities from the homewards to the manchester's to the braddock's it is every day people that are. not only putting their bodies on the line but also risking a lot to speak out against this in a way that we know harassment might come from law enforcement because it has in the past but people are putting that to the side because what antwan represents is so important not only to us in the city of pittsburgh but to the country at large we absolutely believe that if this is to happen to and so on and we do nothing about it that this will happen again so this fight is for justice for and so on and it's also to prevent this from happening in the future much less the next thing i want to ask you about is the future you know you say this is the tipping point it's
7:50 am
really moving now that you're sort of got people out there you'd never expect you know out there marching and protesting let their voices be heard what is the next stage where does this go what what what happens next in this in this in this movement to find justice. well i think what happens next is we're all taking. directives from what the family wants. they are the ones that are in the front of this they are the ones that are carrying the heavy load they are the ones that are forced to become activist and speak out against this in a way that they never ask for so we take directive from them so as of right now the only thing that we want is justice charges and convictions brought against the officers but for the larger picture we have a district attorney in stevenson pollard that's been there for twenty years that has locked up entire communities of black and brown people and has never convicted a officer or held him accountable on his own volition so we're looking to
7:51 am
rearrange that if that needs to be rearranged by finding somebody else that can get the job done and actually prosecute the people that are committing murders pittsburgh is an interesting place in the sense that the majority of the murders are young black people and ninety seven percent of the unsolved murders are black victims. so this is not just a thing about police violence this is violence in general starting with things like the infant mortality rate for black children in pittsburgh is the highest in the country this is a system systematic solution to the problem in so it has to happen every level goes to one level that that happens and we have a couple minutes left and i don't want to run out of time for this is that a lot of your work involves the injustice is perpetrated by law enforcement and there are millions of men you know d.a.'s and everybody else that's all part of that system against the mentally and physically disabled and we again we see
7:52 am
stories like this and about you know somebody was called. someone who was suicidal or someone would have said that or you know in this day and age i mean anton rose normal p.t.s.d. would have made anyone run away from that car intruder that was an emotional reaction of fight or flight he ran because we know was he's going to get shot if he stays there and he gets out if he stays there so i think there's a whole mental health issue can you tell me a little bit i got a couple minutes last about your work with the disabled and how that relationship with physical and mental disability and law enforcement is so intertwined. so the area in which antwan lived in and went to school in was with until a school district a place that it's been riddled with gun violence over the past few years at least ten of his cold learners over the past few years have been murdered in this area so the type of impact that has on children is great well we know it is. people that
7:53 am
live in low income communities specifically black communities here in pittsburgh are experiencing p.t.s.d. or see p.t.s.d. meaning that it's complex and they're still in it and we also know when it comes to police killings that it is. intertwined between a believes them and racism the people that are most impacted by karsh or violence whether it be the people that are actually incarcerated or the police people that are at the brunt of police brutality and violence are disabled people of color we are in a state of pennsylvania where seven out of ten women that are incarcerated have some form of documented mental illness i would argue that the kids that i work with that the at the young jail are one hundred percent disabled due to the environments in which they're in which are violent. that's a great point you bring up because not a lot of people pay attention to that model a lot of people say oh well but it's also the environment it's not you know we have
7:54 am
kind of the classic ideas of mental disability but we keep p.t.s.d. we kind of push that away so you grow up or you grow up under a cloud whatever your call it that that doesn't have a direct effect on your mental health ability to do things does that i really want to thank you for coming on but they got to live about thirty seconds left anything else you'd like to say at the end. no i just like to thank you for having me on this is unfortunate that this continues to happen folks should know that this is not the first time it's happened in pittsburgh but what we're witnessing now is an uprising of people in a way that i don't think we have ever seen in this region so this should carry us through the district attorney races the new state representative races different things in order to affect change in different ways we have awesome. justice system the action needs to come down but also also work and we'll stay in touch with you as this progresses thank you so much justin gibson you know the. stress we
7:55 am
all get it even animals and stress is anything that takes a living thing out of balance causing disease and pain and mental conditions now now says earth science mission is studying how strasse affects plants which of course big part of our food supply so the ecosystem spaceborne thermal radiometer experiment on space station also known as ghost stress will launch on its mission to the international space station so an adult scan plants on the surface measure the energy in the area of the plants and then a sadness the stress they're under so whether it's a lack of water excessive heat or too much water what this means is that farmers on earth will be able to get advice from nasa and the international space station on what plants are stressed about whether i christen maybe there's not enough water. or too much heat the world's food growers will be able to adjust care before crops are ruined that's our food supplies so it turns out we all stress but don't stress
