if. the it's all true. in one thousand nine hundred i was the first woman to work in this one particular mine and my job was what they called the bell boy and then they started calling me the bell person because i was a female so when i would go underground everybody would be kind of gathered to see this woman coming out of the mines you know and then i remember my face will be all black but the coldest since i was a little bit vain so i would have a handkerchief and i would wipe my face off before i would come outside so it would be all clean. so that it but the guys would always be looking for me to come out because it was just so amazing i guess to them to see a woman working in the mines molding for its own prove.

more inform on malo know. i remember when i was in high school i loved the earth science i love the mountains of anything to do with rocks and my earth science teacher back then said there's going to be eight hundred years of coal and when he said that that's when things were good you know where everybody was working like the guys that worked in the mines they always had the nice cars like the camaro i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in the million years i would see that and it's happened it's happened.

and it's time. to stop. the. car wash.

left with nothing since the ninety's many laid off was for they don't see any other options third in the fuel handouts in time on employed and are the usual customers swill tarrant county was founded on coal and there's a reason harris county was billed as the reason. that is our encounters live if they squeeze what are you get me as a building code and they get coal there's nothing else here we don't have the luxury of the cities we don't have factories we don't and the reason monday is because the sales associate in the mountains we don't have the road boys and it's larger same interest in me and in a way in that. i go for the papers at the local mcdonalds or i go down here peace joy and make pay to. work that's now don't pay my bills over horrors move them boys

i'm the gun guy here the pawn shop here for the past five years we take everything from you know d.v.d.'s to. boat motors or whatever you want imagine we have some motorcycles smothered in the mining equipment like you say say we would take a lot of that stuff you would sell a four hundred hour mining helmet maybe once a week the lights daily but the fact of the mining of mines or shutting down makes it difficult to sell that stuff because these were species were being sold to personal miners for their own use they're not in mining anymore course they're not buying it. yeah yeah my. three year.

we're. very counting. just everywhere. in the states is tough today it's hard to see any traces of the turbulent past there once made harlan notorious. the county is still mostly dry and was one for years people used to make moonshine now drugs are in the rice a trust pain killers prescribed by doctors to treat danger and six miners now ask a prime d'antin yes. there's a lot of places where there's a big fish and or a. nurse said yes and yeah pretty much anything that makes you feel better and they think it makes them feel better i mean we have a lot of problems with items that are coming in that are stolen. and maybe not just

from drug use and. that is a problem again i say guinness desperation to try to get some money to maintain a habit you know and i think since all this you know all the mining and depression of the mining everything it's caused. a rising pills. it's the pills or the new alcohol. that you're talking about the forty inch in the. forty's and fifty's yeah. so in the fifty's well we made moonshine so. here in december we pick cocoa berries but the race will be able to hope for as we carry it for yourself for valor again. the black berries will we got a quarter again we get a list you know all. muddy from there to close and some food for them we're. mostly what with troy in the food was cordon. lowered. so we would go

a bit there will be with also the fish. flat. in the beginning i would only have to take a few back and they wanted them last and it towards the end of my credit in our state. family and. maybe before they switched. to the ones in jail. i want to see you know where they hand it to sales now or it may have if the jobs are gone. shed them down while the coal mines are said. live to come mars is live in michigan and people. in poverty. it's homework. i want the same road scientists found their push tiny walk. and works from the

here on the weekly has acknowledged a quote disturbing chapter in his post-war history when thousands of women were forced to give up their babies here in the program we speak to one of the victims i asked for my daughter i actually had to ask three times and then the last time that i asked i had to be out i started to pass out and then they took her. weapons used by rebels and terrorists in syria have been traced back to nato countries including the united states an independent investigation tracked the serial numbers on the missing. spies me talking here on the program we look at the latest claims surrounding russia's alleged interference in american elections as the u.s.

intelligence community evolves to protect democracy from future foreign interference. and well with the week's top stories on today's main headlines welcome back to the weekly here when i see international. the canadian government in their report cold quote the shame is on us has acknowledged a disturbing. practice dating back to the postwar period it's when unmarried women were forced to give up their babies now those babies with and given to married couples in a bid to promote traditional families and some women were even tricked into giving up their children we spoke to one of the victims. as soon as they found out i was pregnant they mark my records b.f.a. baby for adoption.

i was a fifteen year old girl pregnant i was pregnant from a sexual assault. and. there was no conversation about with me about how i got pregnant all they cared about was the fact that i was. pregnant and that i had a baby that they could. take. a healthy born haired blue eyed beautiful baby. you will forget the child go home get married and have other children or if not get a puppy. that is what i was told get up puppy. it was a very abusive and there. we were isolated from our right i was isolated from my

family and my community my sisters and my parents i was completely left alone. my parents were not canadian citizens they're there from europe. my parents believed that they would get deported if they didn't follow. what the government wanted and i turned the homes mothers to routinely denied their right to see feed their babies there are still some mothers who do not know when they're delivered a boy or girl being told well it's none of your business the hold my daughter i actually had to ask three times and i. at first i said it quietly and then i said it 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 dog 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. then the room went. black i started to get i started to pass out and then they took her away from me. i met my daughter she thought she actually found me. so she told me. and she said. you don't know who i am and it's in the she said that i knew who she left but.

we talked on the phone for about six months getting to know each other again from the with each other building some trust she needed to feel safe because our children were told that we're going to something along with us they were told and alternate story that we were drug addicts prostitutes. is all for weapons discovered in the terrorist stronghold of eastern aleppo in syria have been traced back to western manufacturers renowned war correspondent robert fisk identify their origins through their serial numbers and then tried to find out how those weapons ended up straight in the hands of islamist jihadists more now from. this is

a weapons factory located in bosnia most likely you have never heard of it but it's here that the weapons were manufactured for one of the bloodiest battles in syria lots of homes were destroyed and lots of civilians were killed in western aleppo by those questionable rebels now most of those rebels are tied to the al qaeda linked al nusra a terrorist group but let's focus on those weapons that they used robert fisk an investigative reporter was able to trace those weapons back to that very factory in bosnia he was able to get a hold of the factories logbook and getting in touch with the former weapons control director the director recognized his signature in the logbook and from there was able to determine who the buyer was it's a warranty for the hundred twenty millimeter shell this is standard it went to saudi arabia it was pulled to the supply of five hundred malts as i remember the the shipment whoa the saudis came to a factory to inspect the weapons at the beginning of twenty sixteen the response

from saudi officials was pretty much a denial they said that the investigation was vegan undefined however their response seemed pretty vague as well so do you rabia is a leading voice within the international community in support of a diplomatic solution to the conflict in syria while at the same time working with our neighbors and allies to counter the growth of forces of extremism but it's not just saudi arabia the former weapons director says that nato and the united states pretty much run the show at the weapons making facility or oil production off to the bulls and wars under the control of the americans. who are always coming home and they know each and every piece of weaponry that leaves a factory. we also asked nato for a response but they didn't have any details to share even though the weapons were actually made to the nato standards need to doesn't transfer arms or i mean nation

for and for the questions we would refer you to national authorities now another trace from the basement of this former terrorist base in aleppo is the markings on the casing of a missile now if you take a look the first number here this represents the type of missile the second number however is the stock number you'll notice that it contains the figure zero one now that's the nato code representing the united states it turns out that this t o w anti-tank missile was manufactured at a facility in the united states by the raytheon systems company this is not the first time this has happened syria is actually littered with weapons that are made to nato standards and some of which have actually been manufactured in the united states the question now is how much do washington and nato know about their weapons falling into the hands of the very terrorists they claim to be fighting there is a deafening silence a purposeful lack of interest

a purposeful apathy and the reason for this is simple the us government and the military industrial complex and the corporate owned media that functions as an echo chamber for the military industrial complex actually does not care the us government prosecute those who they say aid and abet terrorism well guess what american war contractors are aiding and abetting terrorism but the us judicial system the justice department bill long arm of american law enforcement will not be used against these same military corporations which in fact they are subsidized receive a form of welfare from american taxpayers every year. a russian mole inside the us embassy in moscow it is so life stuff and britain's guardian newspaper has been reveling in its group of all is not quite as it seems as he goes down off explains. everybody loves

a spy drama mystery suspense and a russian firm for. the name of the agent is stable in. my name is evident then you are a russian spy. this guardian story had every ingredient for a thriller recipe the u.s. secret service has quite clearly stems from the very name it's one of the most enigmatic agencies of the u.s. government its main function is to protect the lives of u.s. presidents ministers the top political brass and that is where the russians according to the guardian planted a mole the russian spy had been working under texted in the heart of the american embassy in moscow for more than a day.
