we need to do that but eventually that runs out of steam the other countries are going to not tolerate what we have done. now understand the still not been any proof presented public publicly at least of the russian attacks on us democracy that we used to justify the sanctions bill how does that work how is it being perceived by the warmongers the people who want sanctions that they're really in charge with our media and they have really basic control you know in the congress just out of the clear blue they have no evidence whatsoever of their charges that they have made and you know i look at the world like none of us are perfect all the countries have their shortcomings but i think the responsibility for sure common issues be their own country this idea of just blaming other countries and it's all somebody else's fault and what we have to do is put on sanctions and then when they retaliate we think oh the world's coming to an end they don't have a right to do that we have to punish them i mean it's

a very very bad foreign policy. took over the streets of chicago this weekend with you miss by standers caught up in the crossfire twelve people were killed sixty six injured including several children police say armed gangsters in the city simply don't fear the little. i. mean the being killed in chicago's imbeciles combine locals have taken to calling their hometown shy rock. for one of the biggest st james joyce or molly arsenal so bad for my child at the time. how easy is it that a guy whose name. we need to create a culture of accountability picking up a gun and using it. local

politicians are now appealing to the president to intervene directly even though the city's mayor once declared chicago a trump free zone. 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 trump reckoned that not everyone believes the. term free zone if he's serious about helping the people in chicago especially on the west side of chicago. the outburst of deadly gang fighting took place right after nine hundred milers protests. people claim the bloodshed is a consequence of the corrupt will for which he's in chicago. livingston new

organized. kabul was intentionally segregated segregated in terms of geography. segregated in terms of education what assets health care assets capital investment clones is was second gator for quite a long time matter of fact we martin king said all throughout the softy of march but chicago was the most segregated city he had ever been in and we're still facing the the the via product of this legacy because when you segregate the city you insulate one part of the city is 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. international chemical weapons experts heading to the english town of amesbury next week to probe the nerve agent poisoning one dead and another severely ill the

watchdog has already confirmed the dawn died from contact with the same type substance used in march to attack a former russian double agent and his daughter they still don't know if it was the same batch of poison. the experts from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons returned to the u.k. to continue their work to independently confirm the identity of the nerve agent which resulted in the death of one british national in amesbury and left another seriously ill presumably they're going to be able to try to help move the investigation forward we do know that they will be collecting further sound balls they will be sending those back to o.p.c. w. labs and then reporting back to the u.k. and of course this comes as investigators continue to try to piece together what it is exactly that unraveled on june thirtieth and amesbury one two british citizens were taken to hospital and treated on suspicions of nava chalk poisoning and of course one of those people died and what it is that happened on march fourth when

former double agent sergei script hall and his daughter yulia were poisoned leading to a major international scandal because still as we speak right now today both of these cases continue to be plagued really with the lack of any tangible findings some of the latest details circulating here in the british press have included claims citing sources close to the investigation that police had reportedly identified two suspects in the poisoning claiming that they were russians those reports even suggested that british authorities are getting ready to ask for those people to be extradited however those are very quickly played down in russia of course said that they've received no such request and have talked about the number of speculations that have been flying around involving these cases says this incident there have been no less than one hundred reports based on leaks and sources that's why we shouldn't rely on this information we don't trust unconfirmed reports in the media

hopefully with this latest upcoming o.p.c. w. visit more information will be shed on those two cases. security analyst charles hsu bridge notes it could get even harder for the british government and media to stand by this story the question of course is that he's been asked is whether it's going to be the same batch what it's going to be actually linked this new finding of novacek if it turns out that they weren't linked that of course would stretch the level of for imagination coming to it's really too incredibly encouraging in a way because that would suggest that there were two separate proxy or perhaps two sources of navi choco and therefore i think even the british government you've already alluded in your report to the various different leaks and different stories that have come out in the british media i think even the british media and british government would be hard pressed to explain that particular coincidence what we've effectively got here from the u.k. authorities is a media blackout that media blackout has lasted now for more than five months there

have been you can count on one hand the number of times police have made a statement about the scruple case or the answer case combined most of those are literally public information around public safety issues very unusually for such an intensive investigation such a high profile high profile investigation. the son of a jailed bahraini opposition figure is going on hunger strike over his father's alleged mistreatment in prison. has begun his protest outside the country's london embassy and told us why he feels the case needs to be highlighted. my father was seventy years or serving life in prison and behind it was they

thought surely they would tell you they are going in the denial for medical treatment there for me because it is access to books even what i thought our. spies that my father court for robbing the dictator of regime in my country i'm talking not about the basic rights which is medical treatment or to man who is seventy years old. i'm calling for a million visitation because he did i mean see my family family from haiti in a few months what is that he's in for an eye a medical people for seventy years one man there is not nor a possibility that is not a support reason. i am. he

continues to receive medical examination along with these prescribed medications and a special diet aspire to his medical regime. i wrote a letter to and be there for you more ice organization about my father situation because nothing changed and they've been my father is dying discord. and we've asked bahrain's foreign affairs ministry to comment on the allegations of human rights violations. in other news the pentagon's moved to ban the use of geolocation tracking applications in the army saying that they could create unintended security consequences putting soldiers and missions at risk effective immediately defense department personal approval to add from using jew location features and functionality on government and non-government issued devices applications and services what does it needed as operational areas of the mother

comes after revelations earlier this year when it was blamed claimed secret american bases could be found when searching for jogging tracks on the global map of the strother fitness platform started in two thousand and seven strother has more than one billion jogging and cycle routes logged by users around the world but close analysis revealed concentrated patterns in remote areas in northern syria and afghanistan which it's claimed is likely to be troops keeping fit strivers defended its status saying all users have to opt in to being shown on the map retired u.s. army major general paul valley told of such restrictions will only increase in the future. you can take your i phone your other cell phones know and others can track you family members and so on but when it comes to operational areas there are groups or of fighting in iraq already and we certainly don't want anybody especially the enemy to be able to track their location target them you have to

keep in mind many of your soldiers have their own private cell phones and to use for personnel matters to family also you have government issued so phone satellite phones that are given to the troops in the field to use cell phones have to be restricted only from the standpoint. there are communicating with family and other members i think it's going to be more restrictive in the future because of where technology is today to twenty eight and the ability for others to tap into your phone conversations or actually through social media or facebook or whatever it may be. thousands of displaced syrians are returning home as government forces drive out the last pockets of militant resistance the country's media reports a special refugee committee is being set up to coordinate the process of resettlement and to help millions of his citizens rebuild their lives but some news outlets see the situation a bit differently he's done it expects. 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 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 cross 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 i want my daughter to have a future she doesn't. have then i want to go back to syria return to our home less of that as for why i'm going back there is no place like home we were not happy here thank god safety and security are back in syria and separate downy now we are hopefully 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 escape the conflict more than one and a half are seeking to come back to syria now there's more the path has already been paved for them the u.n. recorded more than seven hundred thousand syrian. who returned last year and began

rebuilding their lives. thank god the electricity is back and life went back to normal again i want to fix my home leave here 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 us stopping them but those who did and are returning may very well inspire hundreds of thousands more to go back to their roots. from human rights watch told us that the people returning home need additional assistance but it's difficult to keep track of all the numbers of people that are going back but we do know that some individuals have returned to government territory and the territory that has been held now by the democratic forces the u.s. forces does include displaced from other parts of the country as well as

residents that were originally from syria so some syrians are electing to return home others continue to remain. countries and other countries for fear that they would be caught up in the conflict or. persecution by the syrian government there is a construct of the russian government other governments. and ensure that conditions do develop so that confidence and return to. some twenty ultra-orthodox jews have been arrested to clashing with israeli police at a rally against army conscription. was

and was under to believe this blocked traffic on the streets of the city of neighbor they pose the rest of the religious student and failed to report to the military in this kentucky issues water cannons they tried to break up a sit in when timber villages students in israel are exempt from the for service but only every port city authorities improve their status and it is also furious at a new bill cutting funding for religious colleges that fail to meet there in this world. germany's homeland security office is raising the alarm over the rise of islamic radicalism among young people in the country that's prompting politicians to call for the lowering of the minimum age and someone can be under surveillance currently children must be at least fourteen 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 inhibition threshold for violence is lower in these children the authorities therefore need the tools to take care of traumatised and violent return these under the age of fourteen according to the report by germany's homeland security office there are currently around three hundred children who've been educated since birth with an extremist world view the document also says these children come both from families that are going to war zones and those that haven't but the interior minister says families which travel to conflict areas need to be prioritized when it comes to surveillance. when sleeping can we have knowledge of more than one thousand is miss 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 country's main opposition party the n t immigrant alternative for germany supports putting minors under

surveillance but the left party insists that the authorities should concentrate on adult extremists to potential victims care whether they're being attacked by a thirteen year old with a knife or 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 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 step forward saying all the efforts on the real terrorists that we have and as long as we have terrorists running around our streets and recruiting people of course their threat of should be recruited i think what the domestic intelligence services try to distract from their complete and utter failure to deal with real

islamic terrorists. or news coming your way in half an hour. let. me. thank you. thank. you. greetings and salutations despite the fact that chicago was 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 sides issue of how the 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 that is what. lies at the bottom. of the like you lie down i got. the police.

i. welcome everybody to watch and not uncommon for law listen joining me today from chicago is the national director of the y.p. one hundred sharleen a caruthers and joining us here in washington d.c. is local community organizer with b. 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 need parents to be parents we need neighborhoods to be neighborhoods you all know who these individuals are. so. when i start with you charlene rudy giuliani fights faulds 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 this city budget on policing we have just seen

a ninety five million dollars police academy be pushed through city council we also see that continue 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 in 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 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 of 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 mental 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 unions 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 it down and that's 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 that mention 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 happened to chick. it was 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 too 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's no saliva they can't 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 shortly and what were your thoughts on this couple of about a minute after ten o'clock. so if serves none of us to tell a single story about the impact of god's.
