it was very abusive in there. we were isolated from our mike i was isolated from my families my community my sisters and my parents i was completely left alone. my parents were not canadian citizens they're there from europe and my parents believed they would get deported if they didn't follow that time and what the government wanted and maternity homes mothers were routinely denied their right to see holder feed their babies there are still some mothers who do not know where their day delivers a boy or girl being told well it's none of your business to hold my daughter i

actually had to ask three times and i met first i said it quietly and then i started a little louder and then the last time that i asked i had to yell and i had to yell bring me my baby now. and then the nurse stopped looked at the doctor for permission and i was quite surprised that the nurse would have to ask for permission for me to hold my own daughter since i'm her legal guardian and my daughter in my arms and. and then they really went. black i started to get i started to pass out and then they took her away from me. i met my daughter she for she actually found me. so she called me. and she said. you don't know who i am and

as soon as she said that i knew who she was. we talked on the phone for about six months getting to know each other getting familiar with each other and building some trust she needed to feel safe because our children were told that there was something wrong with us they were told and alternate story that we were drug addicts prostitutes. now zimbabwe is going to the polls today for the first time since former leader robert mugabe was ousted lines of voters have been so you know saw the polling stations it is the first time in almost four decades that mugabe's name is not on the ballot papers and that's raised much both at home and abroad but this does mark

a rebirth for the african nation so here's a breakdown then of why this election matters this election in zimbabwe is a huge milestone for what's been a very troubled country with an even more troubling financial crisis and here is why is the first time since nine hundred eighty the name of robert mugabe isn't featured on the ballots he was held at the country for almost four years and it seemed nothing good for a small way. to project from his presidential through was this quick. it was unexpected to big to unfold you know for a fight for power between mugabe's own voice and his right hand man the first lady also googy grace in the voice present nicknamed as the crocodile she accused the other of poisonings and death threats and it seemed grace had one of the way with a ninety three year old husband the vice president personally the army stick to taking control of the capital just as the parliament was moving to impeach robert

mugabe he quit the maoi smooth transfer of power and the crocodile finally got his seat into running the country. so let's look at the main candidates emmerson manigat where here is a member of the ruling party and the incumbent president he was appointed after mugabe was did the front runner is predicted to take something like forty percent of the vote although one surprisingly he hasn't been given the backing mcgarvie who claims he grabbed power illegally well here is his closest rival it's nelson chamisa he is the current leader of the opposition and recently qualified as a pastor to if he was elected he would become zimbabwe's youngest ever president at forty well the two candidates are polar opposites not only in the generations they are representing but also in their political views to medicare where favors good relations with russia and china while his rival is pro west and he traveled to the

u.s. to meet state department officials and members of congress at the end of last year political analyst and author howard feldman believes that washington does have an interest in this election i think it's a fairly dangerous. fairly obvious that the us are going to have some form of influence recent as we have seen the withdrawal of the americans from in geos we also do know that there are still sanctions that the u.s. have applied to this definitely. some form of. politicizing of the or interference of the elections by the americans and i think america is playing a quite a dangerous game with this because if the wrong candidate as far as they're concerned which is been and if he retains power if he is able to succeed to it and it does look like he's going to that america will certainly be left on the outside of it having used the influence financial and political influence in the run up to

the election i don't believe it's going to be if you do positively once a result has been announced. many countries do have strict rules and what can and can't be done during political campaigns in zimbabwe is no exception well though some of the shrink sions are quite unusual.

i.

don't know i know where his body is buried deep in my heart i'm still hoping he's alive on that day he called me and asked me to pray for him i asked him to be careful and not risk his life being a hero i didn't want to lose him i was so afraid to lose him. but he loved july the morning of the day he died i was worried my mind started to come up with the scariest of images i was afraid he'd be captured by ice so i had a very bad feeling. we were near the front line the syrian army was battling i saw our work was over

and we were about to pack or equipment khaled stood near it i put helmets on him i just wanted to take a photo as a memory of my work with the film crew in the explosion came. along i realised something had happened i didn't know what exactly out of habit i started to film everything after i began filming i saw a lot on the camera. i tried the room then really. i couldn't move my legs i couldn't see anything my eyes were covered in blood mixed with doest a call for khaled but nobody also. going to check his facebook page and saw his old photo and the text below said john was

khalid al had died a hero i started to cry my husband fell on the floor i just ran out of our house and screamed. i don't want to go on that mission but how do you get here i had a rule she was bright and very determined she was a good journalist you could see that by his reports she did a lot not only for john lee as well but for his model and as well he helped people soldiers she would bring them food and prompt mind. action all my friends know that i want to do something good for people family did a lot for me and now i'm trying to do everything for my loved ones that's my main goal.

the idea of spending money to acquire region to acquire territory to acquire wealth is an oxymoron there is no more wealth to acquire the ecosystem is collapsing. the economy is flooded with worthless paper. and the species is migrating over to the digital speer feasibly these networks and platforms people are uploading their minds into cyberspace and hope to become immortal so every dollar spent on defense every dollar spent by the pentagon is a wasted dollar that's a one thousand eight hundred seventeen sixteenth century mindset it's completely

antiquated and utterly worthless. again concern over global conflicts feelings of helplessness and perhaps spending more time in social media to you could be symptoms of a new mental condition there a place in the us to say that they are seeing increasing numbers of patients with what they call. disorder apparently it does affect both his supporters and his critics to those that dislike him worry that the world will end our supporters do feel isolated from society and even their families and democrats also fret about the origin of trump success to the twenty sixteen election which they insist was

rigged by russia with more his kind of market. now the ideas that are commonly labeled as conspiracy theories at this point are most commonly associated with right wingers and top supporters in the public mind however it seems that liberals also have their share of tinfoil hat thinking polls show that fifty five percent of democrats believe that russia actually did tamper with the voting results only thirteen percent of republicans buy into this idea which is pretty universally rejected even by the staunchest russia bashers dari know of no evidence that through cyber intrusions votes were altered or suppressed they did not change any votes tallies or anything of that sort so if russia did indeed carry out election fraud on behalf of donald trump why would james clapper and john brennan and the intelligence community say that they didn't do that are fifty five percent of

democrats actually convinced that the cia is covering up for russia that's quite a conspiracy theory we decided to ask new yorkers about it do you think that russia changed the voting results in the last election no no not at all ok and fifty five percent of democrats apparently believe that why media that's why. propaganda fake news trump says it best they're delusional misinformed or they have their own agenda beyond that something else do you think that russia changed the voting results in the last election s. can you tell us now well i'm sure through technology they were able to somehow finagle possibly i think so i've heard that a lawyer. yeah maybe but i don't know that they found. one story that you keep bringing up and attack president trump and i think they're going to try to milk as much as they can but. i personally don't see any

evidence of fresh million or elections i lived through approval. our media is the pearl and wall in the united states if people don't know the truth about what's really happening french is not the enemy that they make it out to be some people think that the moon landing was fake others think that nine eleven was an inside job and it seems that the majority of rank and file democrats believe that somehow russia got into voting machines and changed votes for hillary clinton to vote for donald trump the truth is out there but perhaps people should look for it someplace else. r.t. new york while the frenzy over trump which even so his hollywood star vandalized last week to rai response from prankster.
