sanctioning turkey's minister of justice of the united states has issued sanctions on the russian oligarchs we will enforce the ban on tourism the united states will not stand idly by as venezuela. we will enforce the embargo but the question is are sanctions affected let's take turkey the u.s. announced it would be sanctioning turkish officials over on crowe's detainment of an american pastor turkey didn't respond so highly you know shown patience but the step america has taken does not with its a step taken towards a strategic partner in america has shown serious disrespect towards turkey as you can guess the pastor is a get to be released but what about russia the u.s. has imposed round after round of sanctions against moscow but have any demands been met now even some russia hardliners have admitted that previous sanctions against moscow have been ineffective the current sanctions regime has for you to deter

russia from meddling in the upcoming two thousand and eighteen mid-term elections and the republican senators groundbreaking flew shouldn't more sanctions but years have gone by and crimea is still part of russia russia still in theory and russia is apparently still trying to influence elections at least according to some american politicians and media outlets but the failure of economic sanctions is most evident in the case of cuba cuba has been under u.s. sanctions since the early sixty's and have and it's still under u.s. sanctions but those restrictions haven't been successful in churchgoing a capitalist overthrow the cuban government was still very much a communist state the unilateral sanctions don't work we've seen that in cuba for many many years where the u.s. tried to unilaterally. the economy of cuba didn't work it didn't work in iran under both republican and democratic administrations previously it's a stepping stone towards possible. what they do is to some extent they have been

there and to some extent their political organizing by imposing the sanctions first it's a step that were in their view would help legitimize it or sit in washington you think that the u.s. is all powerful militarily and can win any war that it wants what about north korea did kick him to the negotiating table but those things just weren't unilateral but most high lateral thinking back i think you went to your account we've brought new accountability to the north korean regime when north korea continued its illegal missile test we brought all the nations of the security council together including china and russia to impose new sanctions but some would argue a sanctions lead to pretty disappointing results. gang warfare took over the streets of chicago this weekend with numerous bystanders caught up in the crossfire twelve people killed sixty six injured including several children and

police say the gangsters in the city no longer fear the law and not even bothering immediately to fleece crime scenes chicago of course famous as the windy city is now a new reputation for blood shot. the being killed in chicago. locals have taken to calling their hometown shy rap. one of the biggest street gangs selling drugs. so that for months now that's. how easy is it going to go. we need to create a culture of accountability picking up a gun and using it. one

democratic lawmaker is now appealing to president i'll try to directly intervene the city's mayor has long been family and. i think what he's doing is wrong for the direction the city is not how i wanted the election to turn out and so we've declared chicago's going to try to be a trump free zone we have to make sure that prison reckon that is that not everyone believes that chicago is a free zone t.v. series about helping the people in chicago especially on the west side of chicago. the out of deadly gang fighting took place right after a violent protest on thursday people are claiming the bloodshed as a consequence of corrupt authorities in chicago and our guest gregory livingston apparently agrees with the protest in kabul was intentionally segregated segregated

in terms of geography. segregated in terms of educational assets health care assets capital investment clones it's been second gator for quite a long time matter of fact we martin king said all throughout the soft he had march with chicago was the most segregated city he had ever been in and we're still facing the the. via product of this legacy because when you segregate the city you insulate one part of the city it's such a way in comfort and you ostracize the other in a lack of a lack of assets poverty challenge a disadvantage which generate a certain level of violence. the headlines continuing in just a moment here when i see including german authorities are taking measures against the rising islamist to radicalization of young people a full story after the break. what

politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to be close this is what before three in the morning can't be good . i'm interested always in the logs it. seems wrong. just don't call. me. to say proud. and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. she says to look for common ground.

it is good to have you with us today going on hunger strike to stop his father being tortured that's what the son of a jailed bahraini opposition figure says he's doing outside london embassy and we spoke to him about why he's resorted to this particular course of action.

my father was seventy years or serving life in prison and i mean it was they thought surely they would tell you they are in the denial of for medical treatment there for me because it is access to books even what to put our. spies but my father the court for robbing the dictator of regime in my country i'm talking not about the basic rights which is medical treatment to man who is seventy years old. i'm calling for family visitation because he'd been there i mean see my family i mean from eighteen a few months what is that he's in for an eye of medical people for seven years what

man did is not nor upset if he did is not acceptable reason. he continues to receive medical attention along with these prescribed medications and a special diet aspire that his medical regime. i don't look up to and b.'s and there are a few more i saw and i was asian about my father situation but because nothing changed and they've been my father is dying destroyed me. i take place to raise my father is in the meantime we have reached out to bahrain's foreign affairs ministry for comment. thousands of displaced syrians are return. home as government forces drive out of last pockets of militant resistance in the country according to the syrian state media a special refugee committee is being set up to coordinate the process of resettlement and to help millions of citizens to rebuild their lives but some media

see the situation well a bit differently as our correspondent egoless down off explains. a brutal despot a mass murderer a children gassing animal the nicknames the international media tag the syrian president bashar assad with self-explanatory as to why seven million syrians had fled the country since two thousand and eleven pundits prophesies the dictatorship must come down before anyone would dare to go home when we asked them about president bashar al assad they said they don't want him dead because that would be too easy it is the syrian government in fact more than isis that has ruined their lives and led to so much of the refugee crisis they escape with their children and if you possessions but as they crossed the border to safety many also bring their hatred of the man they blame for leaving them homeless come twenty team the syrian army is one by one retaking new areas from opposing factions and he assad forces

once in charge of the larger part of syria are reduced to two small pockets of land and what's that tide of refugees is coming home. to go back we want to return to our beloved syria and i want my daughter to have a future she doesn't. want to go back to syria returned home a lesser sad that's why i'm going back there is no place like home we were not happy thank god safety and security are back in syria and never done it now we hope that returning home it's not a case of a few mad men who are for some twisted reason seeking to return under the regime of a tyrant according to the russian defense ministry out of those seven million that escaped the conflict more than one and a half are seeking to come back to syria now there's more on the path has already

been paved for them the u.n. recorded more than seven hundred thousand series. who returned last year and began rebuilding their lives. when the shot thank god looked the city back to life and on the again i want to fix my hands and leave and sleep with peace of mind of course there are millions who are still too afraid to go back for many it is indeed the dread of a sad event stopping them but those who did and are returning may very well inspire hundreds of thousands more to go back to their roots. germany's homeland security office is raising the alarm over the rise of islamic radicalism among young people in the country and this has prompted some politicians to call for the minimum age when someone can be put under surveillance to be lowered to the current limit is fourteen years old this is not about criminalizing

people under the age of fourteen but about warding off significant threats to our country like islamic terrorism which also targets children the threshold for violence is lower in these children the authorities therefore need the tools to take care of traumatized and violence which are nice under the use of force. according to the german homeland security officers report there are currently around three hundred children who have been quote educated since birth with an extremist world view the document also says that these children come both from families that have gone to war zones and those that have not but the german interior minister says that families that travel to conflict areas need to be prioritized when it does come to surveillance. can we have knowledge of more than one thousand is mr german nationals or from germany who've traveled in the direction of syria and iraq to become part of the islamic groups about a third of these people return to germany is mainly about extremely meticulously

evaluating the danger that lies within these people. the main opposition party in germany the far right alternative to germany so is that putting miners under surveillance could prove a useful measure for their counterparts from the left parties say that the author already has should concentrate on adult extremists first do potential victims care whether they're being attacked by a thirteen year old with a knife whether it's a bearded islamist stabbing them it is necessary to go with an iron broom and transport all fanatics where they belong the real issues not sure are you know are scared of some nine year old children are not legally liable for their actions under the age of forty one of them going to do they actually read you should instead be forcing all the efforts on the real terrorists that we have and as long as we have terrorists running around was released every true day people of course

there will threaten our children being recruited i think what the domestic intelligence services try to just drag strong their complete and utter failure to deal with the real islamic terrorists and the. wildfires raging across california have become for second largest in the state's history the fires doubled in size over the weekend in photos have claimed the lives of at least seven people prompting the government to declare a major disaster vast areas of forest have been destroyed along with dozens of homes and with local services overloaded australia and new zealand and are sending over their fire crews to help. and some chaotic scenes could also be seen in europe as well where firefighters have been battling to contain wildfires in portugal local officials say over one hundred five eight aircraft are fighting the blazes which were caused by

a massive hair from north africa at least forty four people replied medical assistance according to authorities temperatures in portugal that hit all time records in some parts of the country peaking at forty four degrees. thanks for joining us here on they so choose their morning it's nine twenty six here in moscow and your program returns at the top of the hour. i. oppose. this bill for.

last time we chased. each one of them carrying twenty philos of drugs. first offense. they just stepped right. is the very thing. they have this is the this is for me. it was. i don't know maybe they'll get a make or. break right. now. manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when the ruling class is to

protect themselves. with the fines. be the one. making the middle of the room see. the real. my thanks . thanks. thanks

thanks. thanks. greetings and salutations despite the fact that chicago is reportedly on track to have fewer gun related homicides than average this year it weakened the violence in the windy city has brought the issue back into the national spotlight over seventy people were shot in chicago from the evening of aug third to the morning of august sixth it is being reported that at least twelve of those people have died due to their injuries sunday evening thirty people were shot in just three hours and while the police seem to have no idea what possibly could be causing the increase in violence it is by their own admission that the highest rates of gun violence happen disproportionately in low income minority neighborhoods on the city's west and south side chicago looking to increase social services in these areas are they studying how economics may be exacerbating the issue or is their police force doing

more to put away those responsible for violent crime instead of chasing down people for an ounce of marijuana you know mayor rahm emanuel says the problem is that there's a shortage of values about what is right what is wrong we as a city in every corner have an accountability and responsibility if you know who did this being a neighbor speak up. guess what rahm the department of justice did speak up back in january of last year when they released a hundred sixty four page report that concluded that chicago's police force was improperly or poorly trained far too quick to turn to deadly and excessive force for which there was no consequences and that most of those violations were against black and latino residents the leaders of chicago or now have to face their own failures their own complicity in the deaths of innocent civilians and their utter and complete resistance to taking responsibility for their actions so maybe it's time to stop blaming the victims and start watching the hocks.

the only legal the. real this is what. lies at the bottom. of the like you lie down i got. there. i. welcome everybody to watching the time i'm coming to lawless and joining me today from chicago is the national director of the y.p. one hundred charlene a caruthers and joining us here in washington d.c. is a local community organizer with the y.p. one hundred cars at hampton thank you both for joining me thank you for having me thanks so at a press conference on monday chicago police superintendent eddie johnson has had a few fingers to point in the direction of his problem take

a listen to what he had to say. we need the community and community leaders to work with us we parents to be parents we need neighborhoods to be neighborhood you all know who these individuals are. so. lori start with you charlene rudy giuliani five fold to the democrats that's all of this is because of the democrats the mayor blames the governor and the judges and the police blame the people being victimized by gun violence does this. first i want to ask you both when i see this it seems to be a trend that's been happening for many years in chicago where it is historically been to blame and sort of no matter what the numbers are it's the worst and it's all because of certain reasons so limit me ask you first why is chicago so historically always this very violent city and it's always in these black and latino neighborhoods like this what what's going on. so that's

a great question and i first have to start with it's very difficult to have this conversation coming out of the kind of weekend that we just had in the city and what we know is that chicago is a landing place for hundreds of thousands of black folks during the great migration and immediately during that period of time black folks were segregated they face violence so we're talking decades of that vesna from our communities and violence from various public officials and what we're seeing right now is the finger pointing of blame going everywhere except for people looking with and saying this is how i'm responsible i have control over millions of dollars hundreds of millions of dollars and i'm making the wrong decisions for my city let me ask you close one what is that you know what is that historically what do you feel like as a historical aspect and also. i you know i don't want to be that person who just

points at someone and says racist but isn't it kind of racist to tell people that the violence being perpetrated against them is their own fault that they should rather on their family members that if you just did something as if it's their fault what kind of rhetoric does that how does that play in a community it's definitely downplaying the structural inequalities that we see in chicago and that we've seen even since daley consistently the city of chicago has spent over forty percent of the city budget on policing we have just seen a ninety five million dollars police academy be pushed through city council we also see the continued disinvestment in divestment from community resources from community based organizations and a lot of these things have not just come into play and they aren't just rahm emanuel but rahm emanuel station and the position that he uses in order to extend his power and further his power in order to make sure that he's not being gay there he's not being blamed for a lot of these things that we see happening in the city and i think that him

pushing the blame on communities and calling for accountability on communities this morning was very interesting when he made sure the chicago police officers don't face any. convictions or they don't face any accountability themselves as a matter of fact we see divestment for a minute on health resources we see the closing down of over fifty schools in chicago but you see a beautiful new school ninety five million dollars coming to police and so who does he really want to invest in is it the community members that he's supposed to serve or is it the police officers who serve him and his interests but a lot of that comes to do with police here in the end i grew up in wisconsin and just about three hours north of chicago and the idea that chicago is where all the bad stuff comes from has been perpetrated on a lot of people for a long time and both of those there's always been this idea of the chicago mayor always sort of. skirts the blame and then you go to states like wisconsin and their

governors then start the blame to chicago and the whole thing is well you're letting them come up here and that's where the idea of welfare queens and all these myths came from and what really taught all of us was that if you are poor and white you should not like people are poor and black because there is a problem and the sort of rhetoric just builds and builds shutting up and then what they do when you know that's what they do is a tool of divisiveness what we know to be true that in the city of chicago as close at mansion we are our local government decides to spend nearly forty percent of our public service budget on the chicago police department that's about four million dollars a day and as they spend nearly four million dollars a day what we see in our communities is a continued divestment right and what we also see is people literally having a feeling and the material like reality that their lives don't actually matter and while we continue to see millions of dollars invested in sports stadiums and and

what's coming to chicago the obama presidential center that is endorsed by the mayor and overwhelmingly by city council saying that we're going to spend we're going to put tens of millions of dollars in the would live neighborhood and we're not going to actually commit to a benefits agreement that says that this is going to benefit the community and is not going to displace people what we know is going to happen when the obama presidential if it's actually built without a community benefits agreement is that there's going to be more policing and more pushing out of black people and entire and there will be more violence in our communities taking away more black lads and you've seen the police also and with rahm emanuel's help sort of push back against any accountability there was earlier the police union about a month ago had said that they didn't want to have to report every time they pointed their common gun at somebody and i find that reprehensible and one of the other things i find pretty reprehensible about all of this this violence that happens which. cargoes is almost entirely pointed at being young black men being

killed by other black men but there's a lot of women suffering from you know who don't go to police when they get raped who are dealing with domestic violence and those numbers are just sort of washed under that there's a whole system at play. let me start with you because we've got a couple minutes of just a minute let's how does that sort of underpinning of this taking women out of the equation and making it about this what effect does that have on black women as part of that community that rahm is saying you know you should just work harder well i mean since twenty eighteen began the city of chicago has already spent over twenty million dollars in misconduct cases settling and that right there is a brutal highlighting of how the city instead of actually holding itself accountable for the harm that it does from false arrests to illegal search and seizure how they fail to hold themselves accountable and how they consistently put in effort or coppa all of these different institutions that the mayor sponsors that

is supposed to hold. the c.p.d. accountable but they don't and who you who ends up facing the brunt of all of these things being black women there was officer gwen evans who. was able to avoid being prosecuted for harming a black woman where there was saliva found on her neck well the prosecutor says that there is no saliva that they can prove whether the d.n.a. was from his hand or from saliva washing his hands or his mouth be playing eleanor naaman so you have these black women who are trying to avoid the surveillance the overt surveillance that comes with navigating the systems that they have to in order to survive and being told that there will fare queens and also being told that they are lazy when in reality black we have black women equal pay day tomorrow and we know the. black women are drastically underpaid and especially in cities

like chicago where most of them have to work in survival economies and continuously see themselves criminalized and placed in jail instead of their communities and this includes black trans communities and their communities getting the resources that they need completely completely marginalized surely we were your thoughts on this couple live about a minute after minute slot. so if serves none of us to tell a single story about the impact of the violence or any kind of violence in the black community right so a story that says that yes black men and boys are disproportionately victims of violence in this city we should say that we have a duty to make sure that the story of police violence is about them killing us and it is also about them raping us it is about them harassing us it's the policing that black women and girls experience when they go to the public aid office when they go to the hospital to the abortion clinic it's all of those things that aren't reflect.
