so they concealed it and they continued to conceal what was going on up until now eight years later we hear about it. we're going to take a short break right now and when we're back we'll continue talking to you as you need to hear what a rights lawyer are discussing the humanitarian missions in haiti and the op where they have been causing stay with us. welcome back skies are. looking forward to.

this is what happens to pensions in britain don't you watch kaiser report. the way to the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. crossing the most of us just a little sympathy i want to take on most of enter and i want to ask some just about what if many of them look for refuge in the so-called sentry sides of the drift used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities the best person to ask bank of mom. most need or don't have it up or somehow get them in a lot of question what about that. they have or what are they all choose to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house for forty gravels. schools fifty what if he had to be about to do to go without a fifth it's troubles of many couples won't. kill the chance of putting food

impulse response both both of both of you up of up to the focus on. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it mean when the death penalty just because they think that's a fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict just found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people was terrifying news just mooned the present and then we hear even many of the times 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.

and we're back with a.z.t. don't owe haitian human rights lawyer we're discussing the controversy around eight missions in haiti so now the haitian president after an investigation is calling the ox 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 french yeah 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 you know i want your audience to hear me when i say this you can't develop a country with 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 or 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 this is what they say about haiti we are the poorest on trying. them out 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 has made 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 the 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 city united states want to become client states that they dislike that has not fall and into a line with manifest destiny and the monro 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 mune i did nation forces in haiti are the africa calm of the

western hemisphere they are the us 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 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 bad 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 a role in hama whatever his name is yeah head of the oxfam person yeah are you going to by the way i asked you i knew already 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 of i actually spoke to afghanistan's former president and he thinks the same way too 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 countries present. his 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 a part of u.n. or i'm it's awesome. or other n.g.o.s who want to help right 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 show. 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 basic clean 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 and 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 audience is 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 lol which gives clean water is 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 lead haiti capacity building organization now an organization that's built that's that's building up the capacity of the ngos alright 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 bass 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.

it's a very rough terrain just so it's rough climates and you have to find it to be able to live in a flat. it was gunshots on top him and so many friends he would have been going to have men need not. apply don't like me having full backup. you know i don't want. to see it but a body in this room is needed to participate in the good. old to new book to meet

him and if. you don't think about these you know these soldiers who don't know you got three it's like and you know i do and other patients. that. america was never great was founded on the rapes and murders. nothing changed so we said all response to these situations that we do in the ways. people get sad every till the day she is this people kill each other blood through killing children. there was just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down by law enforcement. this country

doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this this 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 ride like this is the reason. i know that and i finally and i will not set up. it can get up early now hundreds of billions of dollars on to the point of the. line and you feel you would it be that easy to the point to turn that out and me. plus is that going to get the muscles to people who move a. little i've done my duty but my little bit too much of one of our little bit that we are shocked at that out of money going to go back much of the way for the

mob to get here but it. does do wonders why you lose. some boards of the. league to see if. you can be no problem. playing. in some serious free thinkers in the services first reading to you that if you do just as you persecute you don't exist i mean. i don't we're not barack obama and the what. did. i know i did.

that with so you're feeling a bit o. oh. we travel to syria to witness how the country is slowly rising from the ruins softest seventy years of fighting terrorists and militants. a scoundrel of a don't know trunk the alleged use of a racial slur a day police though polls show the support board. a u.s. president among black americans is only up. a palestinian journalist is arrested by israeli soldiers for filming them and allegedly inciting violence head of my days gone as a protest we speak to a hip hop artist who shocked us playing with a video filmed at a previous border demonstration. no no.

no no. and hillary clinton banks a young girl who knelt in class during the national anthem in protest against social injustice we discussed the whole litany ling controversy with all get. low girl needs to spend more time in a constructive manner try to get what you want it's not to say it's wrong for them to basically stand up for what they believe in that's what this little brain was doing that's all. a very warm welcome you're watching artie international with me becky aaron good to have you with us this hour now we start with syria years of war with terrorists and militants have left the country in ruins huge amounts of key infrastructure were destroyed including factories and hospitals we visit some of these sites to see how the rebuilding job is going and how close people are to getting their lives back on

track. if damascus is serious about welcoming back millions of its refugees well it has a lot to do first and foremost most of the country has been reduced to rubble by the war so a lot of people just don't have a place they can call home anymore secondly infrastructure is a big issue too because major transportation arteries have been cut and thirdly electricity is so scars that anyone who has a power generator well is a very lucky person. 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 cleaned 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 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. only 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 suffered malnutrition the ten year old girl looked like a two year old. throughout the war some parts of syria have seen well horrific 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

plates so now with the fighting contained. small pockets syrians can treat themselves to something nice this ice cream plant has even had a go with its own interpretation of the oreo recipe yet all of this is great on paper but doesn't help much of delivery trucks have no routes 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 with this bridge destroyed of commuters had to gamble with their lives taking long detours through due hardy's territories this newly paved highway has brought the drive back to well under an hour this market in homes is more than two thousand years old it has seen many things in this civil war is not the worst of those it

has survived through and it is hoped that the rest of the country will follow its model i mean has done of reporting from syria forty. amid the massive reconstruction there is also room for artistic work these artists once lived in a refugee camp near damascus but had to flee when it came under attack with pains now back to the area they've returned to depict the aftermath of the fighting they say they want to leave a wreck or to future generations of what happened at the camp and what they went through. the scandal over donald trump's alleged to use the racial slur has seen a hail of accusations of racism flung at the u.s. president a former aide to claims she has a recording of a make you need to rocketry remarks though this recording has yet to emerge that

hasn't stopped the media rounding on trial for alleged racism. it's the end of the day we don't need a tape to know that donald trump is racist i was at the unite the white 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 he 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 clearly racist policies and actions however amid this scandal a new poll shows the support for the u.s. president among the black community has almost doubled since last year so never come on picks up the story. according to this poll trump has more support among african-americans than republican candidates of the past but african-americans are still the most politically homogenous voting bloc consistently voting for democrats rubber kanye west whose 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 supposed have a monolithic thought 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 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. if you just know we have to xerox the third money for the bill gates donald trump calling for more you know. basically. so why are african-american starting to think this way we must around to find out do you think african-americans support but you want to guess a percentage. going to say not a lot of them support only thirty are you kidding thirty six thirty six. not even close to what i thought about. six percent. actually thirty six percent true 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 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 to find you're seeing that there are multiple opportunities people are now getting to buy a car for themselves or truck for themselves for the first time. and a long time last summer we set a record among americans including black americans who went on vacation for the first time and it looks like we're gonna see another record breaking activity with that in that regard a lot of black americans are experiencing this no surprise that they understand

it's the policies of president donald trump that they that they accept that they knowledge and that they're very appreciative of. a young girl from maryland he was reportedly reprimanded for nailing joining the pledge of allegiance has won the support of hillary clinton the former presidential candidate tweeted that it takes courage to express disagreement with injustice eleven year old marianna taylor hopes it will people will join her. it's important to stand up for a little. bit late two zero zero three where they kind of retire if you do that you read it but it will just make you really. marianna said she was inspired by an american football quarterback who knelt during the national anthem before a game twenty sixteen to protest against a racial inequality and police brutality he saw in protest soon.
