it wasn't national news for the fall of two thousand and fifteen they didn't declare a state of emergency until twenty sixteen and they won't have truly clean water that they can drink from their tap until twenty twenty so you know when i got all the attention but remember what happened in january twenty sixth and what was going on is only sixteen the whole idea of poison children like permanently poisoned soldier and was. and is not just in places like watch watch is a good example of one of those who look down upon neighbor write it for as a poor neighborhood that's what everyone wanted sort of poor black and i mean exactly and it's of course you know crime like every other excuse they have in the book and what's interesting is that spy plans for a billion dollar make over. where a lot of this story kind of. reporting that. centers on jordan downs this housing complex and watch and they're building a new kind of like fanciest mansi housing complex there.

toxic levels levels of lead and other deadly chemicals they're making it a danger to the low income residents but they're hoping that this time this housing complex will eventually help so hey we're going to build a new building by the area but we're not actually going to clean up the mess and just for those are the kind of history buffs out there jordan downs is actually originally built. right right during world war two as temporary housing for steel workers where they're building kind of the military industrial complex of it. and the other thing is in two thousand and nine samples were taken at jordan downs. what they found were high levels of diesel seal. and residue from the steel mill that operated in the same this is that thing of being like getting back to the industrial isn't like there's a reason we left the industrial age because it had horrible deadly child labor and it poisoned everything so that's kind of why we got away from it is one of those

things that's like. we don't do that anymore but the worst part is there's places like this all over in blue collar communities that were working class communities but when the predominantly white. residents of those moved into the suburbs they became lower income neighborhoods and everybody went well who cares they're just poor their vote doesn't matter they don't contribute to campaigns well and their care i mean why should we give them clean water which is disturbing on so many levels it's completely implausible when you look at like the amount that's been pulled out in recent clean up. two hundred fifty nine thousand thousand tons of dirt that had lead that had arsenic all got hauled away from jordan downs this housing complex and they were told like oh everything's fine it's fine for construction keep going on but you have residents who are complaining of asthma.

inhalation of all of that lead after the cleanup started because they weren't really paying. double the dirt and thought that'll be enough it's not that's why we have funds that's why we have super funds to clean up this kind of industrial waste but if we keep going down the path of these dirty dirty industries like steel and coal and you know it's funny because right now all you hear about is america america america you know everyone's talking about how important is to be america you know all the outside threats to america we know there's not going to be much of an america left if we let places like. completely crumble and fall apart all the boys in places like flint or other major cities you know that are part of the fly over i mean here's a country on the coast you think it's not a fly over state let's pay attention to it i care about what america you're going to have left if we're not actually paying attention to the issues at home and then trying to protect and rebuild the cities at home so people are getting lead poisoning with that. it's absolutely terrible and now.

well this week the s.p. sports awards gave the arthur ashe courage award to the victims of sexual abuse or is larry nasser his crimes were covered up in the victim's silence by the. universities and organizations meant to protect them. stood side by side with one hundred forty other victims of mass around the stage of the ceremony and showed strength in the face of so much pain the nasser case showed just how easy it is for powerful institutions and the people climbing their lauder's to spend years not only ignoring the sexual abuse of young athletes the getting power by not doing anything to protect victims and now ohio state is facing the facts that they and their employees may have a lot of another sexual predator abuse our fleets in fourteen different sports on campus r t correspondent and former watching hockey producer sarah montessori has more. former student athletes at ohio state university are filing two lawsuits

against the school over alleged abuse by team dr richard strauss the first lawsuit was filed in the u.s. district court in columbus ohio and claims that coaches and higher level officials knew of the abuse but did nothing to stop it the second lawsuit was filed by an unnamed former wrestler claiming he was abused by strauss on twenty occasions in the one nine hundred eighty s. strauss worked at ohio state for over twenty years as medical stuff and retired as a professor in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight soon after his retirement strauss moved to california and committed suicide in two thousand and five the university held a hearing on the complaints in one thousand nine hundred seven but according to the lawsuit they did not take legal or disciplinary action according to the associated press more than one hundred fifty former athletes and witnesses have been interviewed so far ohio state university issued a statement on tuesday saying they have received report of the sexual misconduct by straus for male student athletes in fourteen different sports it stated we are

aware of reports that individuals at the university did not respond appropriately during that era they go on to say ohio state remains committed to uncovering what may have happened and what university you. leaders at the time may have known u.s. representative jim jordan who is a former wrestling coach at the university wasn't mentioned in the lawsuit however the congressman was accused earlier this month of failing to stop the reported abuse after having been informed but x. ohio state wrestler mike to savage had this to say it's going to go crazy when when they put jordan jordan this and he's lying. down. the house the university is is in is in need of a real deep look in the mirror to change the way they do business in an interview with fox news the congressman denied having been informed calling the allegations bogus saying i never saw never heard of never told of any kind of abuse

we would have dealt with that if we knew of anything that happened if in fact there are victims they deserve justice this isn't the first time a university has faced charges michigan state university recently agreed to pay five hundred million dollars to settle lawsuits filed by three hundred thirty two women alleging dr larry nasser sexually abused them ohio state spokesman ben johnson confirm the reports against straus the sexual misconduct dating back from one nine hundred seventy nine to one nine hundred ninety seven the investigation is currently ongoing and the university is encouraging victims and witnesses to come forward with any further information in washington ceremony r.t. . boy i really hope more people do stuff or i hope that the reporting of this story gives people the courage to step forward because we do need to see that these people do need to be brought down everybody's pretty young children university students and you know people who look up to them as

a position of authority those people have to be brought down i think is really interesting and jim jordan says seriously it's a. long hard felt. self inventory yes when you say something when you were in a second i'm going to tell you some of the facts of this case of what we know and for him to say if there were in fact victims. as if they were in fact just noted that one of the so dr richard strauss who's the cues that this was the team doctor for a number of years has said from the seventy's to the ninety's this is a man who killed himself in two thousand. it's estimated when you go through these things that strauss had raped and or sexually assaulted at least fifteen hundred to two thousand leads out of ohio state between one thousand seventy eight one thousand ninety eight. but one place like church level you know what. despite what a rule. and you don't want to you know mess up anything but one player had said

that he was abused in about fifty examinations between the late eighty's and early ninety's. and one of the things that's really interesting about ohio state is they recently closed down something on their campus very abruptly closed its sexual civility and empowerment office. after there was another internal review that had raised concerns about. the quality of service provided to survivors of sexual assault here's the deal this is i mean i there was a similar situation at one point during my high school years where there was a wrestling coach and it gets quiet because it's men also people it's a lot harder for guys to come forward and it was one of those things that it was and it was just it was a level of silence that would put it's put on everybody and that's you know as a woman who's had to sort of deal with this so much more in the public eye there is

a lot like we i think we should be out there supporting these victims and understanding much like terry crews and everybody else this is a moment where we all need to. stand together with these victims and let jim jordan go on saying if there turns out to be a victim and there's nothing shameful about being a victim there's nothing you go up there not to want to be ashamed about exactly exactly 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 shows at r.t. dot com coming up sean stone because of the recent political upheaval in romania and prepare yourselves talk watchers because we are experiencing a ninja drought yes you heard me say that correctly stay tuned to watching the hawks.

the new global economic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to education has been supplanted by the right to access to education alone it's high education is becoming just another product that can be born and sold and it's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business and what you could. not could these souls. that they couldn't meet. want is the place of students in this business model before college i was born now and i'm extremely more higher education the new global economic wall. join me every thursday on the alex simon shield and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

seventy four design submissions. seven thousand pilings. to china judges. and eight hundred sixty nonstop days of. the russian w.b. a champion. and a russian stuff. show you how. long the crimean bridge was built. witnessed the construction willing you need to transport. that will help the cause of crimea. most of those you know what google for more snow you have it a bit but it's clear.

when the mainstream media picks out a go to merit of the soaked viewers and on a nightly basis it's often difficult to escape even for the most independent minded free thinker that holds true for any topic at all the latest out words were the scandal in pop culture entertainment or something as cut and dry as the state of the economy or the military entertainment industrial complex as favorite an opportunity for yet another foreign intervention so it comes as no surprise that most americans likely missed the recent political upheaval in the caucasus mountains what's been labeled as our media's velvet revolution and one possible reason is that unlike most of washington's hand-picked revolutions this one appears to have largely come about outside the usual state department incubate or in the popular popularly chosen new prime minister's first major policy move wasn't to bend the knee at foggy bottom or rather to focus on rooting out corruption while at

the same time meeting with russian president vladimir putin to build coaster strategic ties with russia our own sean stone earlier sat down with armenian actor and activist roman machado who recently returned from the caucasus. that i've heard that it wasn't like the the other color revolutions of georgia and ukraine and other countries in the sense that it it doesn't seem to have been backed by the united states an orchestrated by these n.g.o.s with the smartphones and basically twitter is another sort of absolute technology of communicating and getting these these crowds these flash mobs to show up this was a much more ghana. and we've met yet absolutely we have also show media so what happened is nicole pushing him was on facebook. just telling the wall what's happening because prior government how old are powering media so he couldn't really do any anything on media and saying hey guys and how nicole pushing

a started walking with ten people all of a sudden they had all their one million people on the streets closing the streets with trucks it was a mad mess one of the seven we flew in i mean you had to see every single person in there whether the. my message is this ok whether you armenian american jew whoever you are i want to see freedom that's the message when you see this every single person when when we landed and i was looking at every single person's eyes looks like the whole country go to jail it's like my god what's going on everybody is nice everybody they all love each other all the sudden this you know when you go to armenia people don't they don't live very well you know that they're suffering with someone doesn't have food it's you know or something or super rich right now everybody's nice everyone's happy

why not i want to wish every single trip but what's the next step i mean bush administration ians promises and his plans actually bring me out of poverty us of today. he's we had ok i'm going to start just comparing one thing about georgia when you mentioned my down so georgia you had saakashvili who came to a power very harsh and he definitely wiped out all the mobs and corruption and he did it overnight when i say overnight it took him probably less than a month georgia was one of the most corrupt countries i've been there i drove through you couldn't drive through if you want to go from armenia to russia you got to go through georgia probably you get stop i don't know fifteen times maybe even you know you end up giving your shoes to that was horrible right now completely

different country beautiful country now first to armenia nicol question and came to power he's doing his steps very i wouldn't say slow but he there's a big movement so i was watching. very much involved seeing what's going on meeting him personally and and is a super smart guy and he's going one by one with all description the figures there's a guy named manuel he was a general all of a sudden they found bunch of illegal money besides money and weapons he has his own zoo heidegger bears can mafia don i mean come on guys give me a break you can't even have a tiger that's illegal there's only five thousand tigers ok you can have

a lion can have a tiger this guy's a tiger ok so this is brutal. this is just and also currently we have a political situation would be by john about. we have a war at the moment so old is the asper a sense food money everything and these generals they're just pulling their warehouses and they don't take it through frontline for soldiers that's and of corruption these people they don't need to leave completely. i cannot even see that how could you leave how could you take food from soldier as far as you know the president's agenda is he going to mean you know is it as you to pursue the war against as a by john for example is he going to the house going to reform the overall country in the condition of the people living in poverty what alliances as you know look more towards europe or me or maintain good relations with russia. great question

thank you actually i'll start with the war by john azerbaijan we started war with. its ball flies for so there's not going on which they claim to be their land but styling back then he just signed a contract for twenty five years and was an armenian land. would say that's a land army or so that's army allowed ok but currently we have our means to leave there for decades. you can go and do the research. but it's an old story of fighting over land and sea ice over and over and so this point the war doesn't stop now what kampusch do at this point i think russia's role it's significant huge in this politics because russia. about two years ago financed which a lot of weapons so he did the same thing for armenians so what does that mean keep

the patient guys i don't think was ours once war armenians don't want war no one in baku ones were there eighteen years old they go to war and they you know next thing they're dead so we want war we want our kids get killed now you've russia is financing both sides what does that mean are they going to solve this problem or not absolutely not so what's going to happen i don't know we'll see we'll see but are we going to give up his law know how always going to do compromising i don't know and it's as if she didn't express anything as far as how he's going to address this situation of how much is you know leaning towards europe and european at relationships as opposed to russia because obviously russia is a very powerful almost neighboring country but obviously a neighboring country in the sense of regional power you have turkey also exerting pressure and russia is a good kind of balance against turkey so has he expressed where he's going to stand

in this relationship i think prior to pushing in we had served and i don't think putin really respect i mean you know that time really you know he just you know armenia needs russia yes we do but the sense of we're not puppets russia and these two understand that ok we're in you know it's two thousand and eighteen we're not in one thousand nine hundred eighteen any more the genocide is done it's over it's not going to happen again so my point and message to to anyone if you know i'm a free speaker and i don't care i can say whatever i think it's right for me and for my people people need to understand russia is a great friend of armenia for for ever for a long time but russia cannot put a pressure saying you have to be with us. you have nothing to do with you up that doesn't happen because nicole and nicole pushing in just how to great meeting he

would european union and they're already science and nice contracts they're going to do some business transaction banks and so on so forth so he's with russia so we have to take keep the civil it's very important to have to understand that so now i want to russia has more respect towards armenia than prior to the call pushing it absolutely because right after nicole pushing him got it like that by people i'm going to say people in may eight right after one week put in said we need to meet in sochi and they did and everything went well and like i said russia is a good ally for us definitely we are surrounded by turkey and i was a budge on and i don't think we have the greatest relationship with turkey i have no problem with people but erdogan is a dictator you know last year he put up one hundred fifty journalists and everybody else i don't think people love their dogs. that's paul.

minn just which is said to have originated in the province of japan is a practical fully faceted martial art a collection of legends and a skill set that can include espionage witchcraft magic and assassination practitioners of ninjitsu are known as ninjas and even well it's running short on them to brand is that a deep population problem with younger japanese moving out of these rural areas and in an effort to not only create jobs but also celebrate the area's ninja heritage even as mayor has been pushing ego's ninja museum which is full of weapons used by ninjas like sure you can start throwing stars and live ninja shows but see that's where they need more ninjas they need more ninjas to perform so the government is offering upwards of eighty five thousand dollars u.s. dollars a year to train and become a ninja performer according to the international ninja research center the average

ninja in medieval times only made about eight to seventeen thousand dollars per year adjusted for inflation so if the job market in your country is let me down maybe you can help eager japan re enter the ninja wow wow oh by the way own if you're going to go you can go be a ninja then i probably look like an angel you practice the witchcraft already got the part down you gotta get me burned at the stake there said the man that's that's great good luck i do like the fact that people are still studying and training to be mentors with men what a great job it is five thousand a year to go and layer in a nice beautiful countryside in japan through skill and it's kind of almost a religion to a little bit i mean what if they were mercenaries and then they were centrally mercenaries an espionage and they were the spies that you would pay them to find information and they could hide and use certain things they were much more they were more the murderer michael dudas of american. that's about the extent of my

exposure to mentors was my childhood all right and i was going to get them serious right that is are so for you that they remember everyone in the world you're not told your love ups i'd tell you i love you i am i wrong and out of a lot of. people watching old farts know a great day about it but. you

with the ability to leverage america's got a leverage in that economy and it can reshape the global economy they evoke a went against the e.u. with no leverage they have a zero leverage against the e.u. therefore they've lost tragically against you and their colors are being marginalized and isolated as a result of it they completely misstated our misunderstood there at the equation between the u.k. and the e.u. when it comes to business and trade. promotion. look this is the. most is. nothing. short of war. this is.
