or in haiti who is going to fight on behalf of let's say the victims so so you're talking about a disparity of power you're talking about this idea that these these white folks like oxfam's director who was who was. fired and the other i think they fired oxfam fired sorry executive and another for. me they let them resigned they let three resign and then they fired for gross misconduct three so but they never reported to the haitian government that says it's a crime to to have sex with minors they never reported that so they concealed it and they continued to conceal what was going on up until now eight years later we hear about it. when i take a short break right now and when we're back we'll continue talking to you as you need until you want to rights lawyer discussing the humanitarian missions in haiti

and the opera they have been causing stay with us.

that's a very rough roads there on you so it's rough climates and you have to fight to google for them if. it was gunshots going top them and so many friends ok what happened in the morning i may need i'm not. looking back i'm going you know i don't want to see it but a body in this room is ready to punch is reading the good. book to me a book to read and. you don't think about these movies so good on you've got three it's like a and you know i do another patient's. crazy

conspiracies they're there they're all worthless there are all under the bus forget about the back of the bus just run the love of the bus because we want rush limbaugh wonder bread and fake news so you die that's america. america was never great was founded on the rates in the murder. nothing changed so we said no pop. response to these situations that we're dealing with. people yes there was no this day he is just people kill each other blood to kill the children. there was just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down law enforcement. this country

doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this is can't be happening in america we call from the streets we've got to deal with why this is the reason i have to run like this is a reason. and we're back with the a.z.t. don't owe haitian human rights lawyer discussing the controversy around eight missions in haiti so now the haitian president after an investigation is calling the office them affair the tip of the iceberg but on the other hand count the haitian government really afford to poke into other aid groups besides oxfam president mention investigated mid-south some fronts yes and other n.g.o.s what if

more organizations are suspended can they manage without them can haiti do without n.g.o.s altogether i you know i want your audience to hear me when i say this you can't develop a country which charity you cannot. the charities are there in haiti. to assist with the symptoms of the problem not the root of the problem of haiti and that symptoms like when you have no clean water no health care no infrastructure those are all symptoms of a greater problem in haiti and that greater problem is imperialism that greater problem is debt dependency and domination that haiti has had to deal with sense it became the first. free republic ruled by black people since eighteen zero four so we've had to deal with this. imperialism that comes in and takes out

haiti's resources so here is the answer the answer for your audience to understand is not charity it's not these n.g.o.s it's not oxfam you can't you take someone's agency away when you bring in foreigners and you have those foreigners give you public services like clean water like health care they're not accountable that's why you have the problem of oxfam that's why you have the larger problem of the un troops and their sex rings and and their cholera has gotten to haiti and all of the travesties that we've had to suffer directly since two thousand and four when the un came in and they came in the u.n. came in after the united nations just made the united states france and canada and the western powers out through where we bush regime change in two thousand and four

the democratically elected president of haiti which i used to represent so we're talking about the you win and the charitable workers who come in. to cover that this is an occupation because if it was acknowledged openly that this is a humanitarian front to occupation then the public of these various nations would oppose it but if you say haiti needs charity and look at these haitians and all their problems and you say these things all the time and this is what they say about haiti we are the poor so i'm trying. to mouth i don't understand it's not like they're there by force right someone is certainly inviting them why can't you just be like we don't need you by what is a problem as i said the u.n. came in in two thousand and four after the united nations shows me the united

states france and canada in their deep state cia agents helped take down the democratically elected president what we have in haiti right now is an occupation a military occupation with the u.n. serving as proxy military are you saying your government is in conspiracy with the united nations because no organization including that salute including united nations can be on a territory of a country without a consensus of the government of that country after the earthquake we had bill and hillary clinton essentially take over haiti and take over the aid to haiti they were i do think there was no interest in haiti what what why such interest on behalf of the clintons and your country why. i am so happy you asked because haiti lies between two nations that do united states want to become client states that they dislike that has not fall and into

a line with manifest destiny and the one road doctrine and so on that's cuba and venezuela we are right in between we are that weakest link in their horseshoe also so so they unite this is what we say at the haitian lawyers leadership which i lead we say that the moon i did nation forces in haiti are the africa calm of the western hemisphere they are the u.s. western military army training latin american instrumental american soldiers. for on behalf of the western powers and they use haiti as a training ground that's number one number two haiti has massive oil the head of venezuelans oil is in haiti's waters number in terms of riches haiti has they say now twenty billion in gold. haitian geologist says it's one hundred billion in gold

doing the earthquake. bill and hillary clinton put in through fake elections and you can see this just google it michel martelly who is a former carnival singer if you look at the e-mails from the hillary and bill clinton they show you that they created this this fake election and now in two thousand and sixteen we have should be two thousand and seventeen we have this new president job mel movies job no more yes was handpicked by michel martelly who was put into office by bill and hillary clinton under the obama administration and now the aid groups and you and agencies they always stress that they're doing a lot of good. do outstrip the bat that happens but good rarely makes for a hard news story that always goes unnoticed so all the good work they could be

doing because i'm sure they are doing something good emergency aid medication shelter supplies etc will that always be outweighed by the bad behavior by the by the scandals by the overall problem of the occupation that you're you're talking about yes ok so so no matter what they do even if sometimes they're really actually reaching out to housing people and that that is also an undeniable fact. well as i said before sophie no matter how how well intentioned some of these n.g.o.s are and some of them some of the charitable industrial complex folks. are not predators no matter what their intentions are we're talking about an occupation we're talking about imperialism we talk about the people of haiti being disenfranchised by fake elections run by the un right now on behalf of the united nations says me of the united states and it's and it's and it's you know european allies but i just want to ask you about the

technicality does the humanitarian aid that they bring in to your country actually reach people on the ground those who really need it do they get it i think the figures were. thirteen point three billion dollars that was raised after the earthquake. and i think they said that less than one percent of that went to the haitian government most of that money went back to the donors to their hands most of it stayed in the donor hands to to to to what to bring employment to their people to make money off of it is that what you're saying to bring employment to people like the world lim hamann whatever his name is yeah head of the oxfam person yeah are you going to by the way as to why you already ait's i think you know that foreign foreign aid cripples most african nations

i think you already know that the stis to stick say that the world bank puts out a lot alone but the corporate plunder. is greater than the aid they ever a give to the black nations or to the global self i want to be able those if i actually spoke to afghanistan's former president and he thinks the same way to you he feels like the foreign aid in the long run is ruining his country because it never comes with no strings attached. so you know this rapper i'm sure you know because he ran for your country's president. he's charities reported to have spent twenty five percent of money donated on expenses like travel conferences accommodation salaries how can people who want to help donate be sure that their money goes where it has to because you don't necessarily need to be part of u.n. or i'm it's also point yeah or other n.g.o.s who want to help write there are

a lot of philanthropist who want to help you know you're sitting in your house you are sure there's an earthquake you want to donate money how do you make sure that it gets where it has to be very well you see i'm still thinking that we're having the wrong conversation here charity cannot develop a nation it can't give it infrastructure health care it can only allow for dependency and you mentioned one charity which which is why clip shop. you know i could show is like a tiny little bit of so small compared to the clinton global initiative. and the big n.g.o.s and what they're doing in haiti the red cross the red cross raised half a billion dollars in haiti after the earthquake and only built seven homes and left no infrastructure and we need. clean water just

basically water they could have given us with that thirteen point three billion dollars that was raised because the u.n. in two thousand and ten as you know brought us cholera which has killed over ten thousand haitians and made sick more than they say a million i say three million haitians so we don't even have clean water so what do these forty two thousand n.g.o.s have to show except the fact that they are used as a smokescreen i was immediately ferrying to rice out i was just talking about people who want to help do i understand you correctly that your message to my odeon says that anyone who is watching t.v. and there are calls to help haiti they shouldn't. is that what you're saying haiti yes what i'm saying is if you hate haiti cannot be developed by charity if if anyone wants to help haiti you need to help us get rid of the u.s. occupation hidden by u.n.

mercenary guns fake aid fake election fake charity that's what we want as haitians and for instance after the earthquake we started my organization the network because we were not getting help because the people were being given dirty water by the n.g.o.s we started a program. which gives clean water it's a very tiny project but it is a haiti led haiti one and a transfer of skills to haitian without a middleman those the type of projects that people who are interested in helping haiti can do assist and ended digit is haiti led haiti capacity building organization now an organization that's that's that's building up the capacity of the ngos all right it was really interesting insights to hear from you as really actually thanks for this interview i have never heard someone speak so passionately

about the country and speak the way you speak about the country i wish you all the vast in your future endeavors as a leader until we were talking to you the haitian human rights lawyer about the u.n. and other groups humanitarian efforts in haiti and why they have drawn so much criticism that's it for this edition of sophie and co i will see you next time. thank you. the way to the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants.

most of them simple but they want to become lost. some just about but many of them look for refuge in the so-called sentries sides of the drug used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities the best person as they are. most needed more you know. that person i get i'm in a lot of class and they want that. they can watch as they all choose to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house all. the have to be about the. affairs it struggles of many couples won't. deal with the push to put impulse response both of you up with a beautiful. when

a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murderer i would prefer and it's meaningless in the death penalty just because they think that's a fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying there's just no really hasn't been that we're even many of the families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in saying. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way.

top stories here when we travel to syria to witness reconstruction efforts as the country we builds a vital facilities destroyed during seven years of war. a scandal of a donald trump's alleged use of a racial slur deepens the polls show the support for the u.s. president among black americans is actually on the rise. of palestinian journalist is arrested by israeli soldiers for filming bad men allegedly inciting violence head of friday's gaza protest we speak to a hip hop artist who shot to fame with a video filmed during a previous border a demonstration. no. no

jobs going. if damascus is serious about to accepting millions of its refugees back home it has some serious rebuilding to do barros villages in small towns like the one over there in the province of homes have been completely raised from the face of the earth by the war. that's why factories like this one are crucial most syrian cities have to survive amid a chaotic and unstable power supply we've been told that when anti assad fighters captured this facility they looted it's clean for equipment and left it badly damaged it's fully operational now but lack of power of course isn't the worst that syrians have had to endure a lie i swear we were dying of hunger one kilo of bread for one thousand lire you

have to eat otherwise you starve to death in paradise truly rice and vulgar nothing that. we were living in hunger and poverty we would wake up in the morning not knowing how to manage to get our daily food children suffer now nutrition that ten year old girl looked like a two year old. throughout the war some parts of syria have seen well a riff it famine but it would have been much much worse if it wasn't for the incredibly fertile soil and that's why you hear some branches of the trees actually broken under the weight of peaches advanced agriculture and international aid is helping to put food back on people's flate so now with the fighting contained to small pockets syrians can treat themselves to something nice this ice cream plant even had to go with its own interpretation of the oreo recipe yet all of this is

great on paper but doesn't help. delivery trucks have no rules to drive on. this just over forty kilometers between the cities of holmes and hama a trip that should have taken somewhat thirty minutes would stretch up to six hours see with this bridge destroyed of commuters had to gamble with their lives taking long detours through jihads territories this newly paved highway has brought the drive back to well under an hour this market in homes. thousand years old it has seen many things in this civil war the worst of those it has survived through and it is hoped that the rest of the country will follow its model. reporting from syria see.

the mass reconstruction efforts there is also room for artistic work real these artists once lived in a refugee camp near damascus but had to flee when they came under attack the area now back on the government controlled they've returned to depict the aftermath of the fighting they say they want to leave a record for future generations of what happened at the camp and what they went. scandal over donald trump's alleged use of a racial slur a hail of accusations of racism slung at the u.s. president one former aide claims he has a recording of the u.s. president saying a racial slur there's a recording has yet to emerge that has not stopped the media rounding on trial for alleged racism. at the end of the day we don't need a tape to know that donald trump is racist i was at the unite the right rally in washington d.c. on sunday i didn't hear anybody say the n. word but i'm pretty sure those guys were still racist we were curious about what

she could possibly say that might dispel some of the animosity the black community has toward her after all of these years of her being complicit in trump's clearly racist policies and actions. however a. new poll shows that support for the u.s. president among the black community has almost doubled since last year most american investigations porting to this poll trump has more support among african-americans than republican candidates of the past but african-americans are still the most politically modulus voting bloc consistently voting for democrats rubber kanye west who has recently made headlines over his support for trump says that going against this trend makes you a pariah in the community everyone around me tried to pick my candidate for me and then told me every time i said i like trump that i couldn't say it out loud or my career would be over i get kicked out the black community because blacks are

we're supposed have a monolithic we can only like we can only be democrats though it's unclear whether such statements from black celebrities have a positive effect on donald trump's popularity a leading civil rights group says trump trotting out his black surrogates to woo voters has a little impact as the majority of african-americans disapprove of trump trump strategy of trotting out black people to support him is not working if it is intended to inspire african-american support for him or his policies a majority of black voters say these celebrities have no impact before trump set off on the campaign trail in twenty fifteen black rappers and hip hop artists felt a little differently about him in the ninety's they often mention trump in their music boasting of his wealth. to take that. long to the wee hours to xerox. cover her the bill gates.

said. so why are african-american starting to think this way we must around to find out do you think african-americans support what you want to guess a percentage. going to say that not a lot of them support. thirty are you kidding thirty six thirty six. not even close to what i thought about six percent. actually thirty six percent who are you surprised by that at all. why is that because i don't own any black trump supporters why do you think some african-americans support trump by some i mean one third i'm going to say probably because they thought that he was the best chance for our economy instead of thinking about where we are as socially there is a chance to be heard which hasn't been there before i think those that do probably are looking for from an economic perspective he's a businessman right so more americans including black americans are finding job

opportunities and by that i mean it's not just you must take the one job done you are seeing that there are multiple opportunities people are now getting a. car for themselves or a truck for themselves for the first time in you know and a long time and you want to last summer we set a record among americans including black americans who went on vacation for the first time and it me it's like we're going to see another record breaking activity with that in that regard a lot of black americans are experiencing this. prize that they understand it's the policies of president donald trump that they that they accept that they acknowledge and that they're very appreciative of a young girl from maryland who was reprimanded for kneeling in clos during the national anthem has won the support of hillary clinton the former presidential
