pham. are to blame for any of what happened with regards to that because you're talking about a differential in power and we're talking about underage girls only talking about underage girls or underage boys we're talking about a crime. age in haiti is eighteen for maturity so although the media waltzes wants to make these under-age children prostitutes who really is the whore here who really is the criminal here so haitian parliament has learned that the majority of abuse cases don't get reported oxfam actually has been reporting requirements in place their stats are transparent other agencies don't have those requirements so do you have any information about their transgressions you know i head the free haiti movement which i founded in two thousand and four when the united nations lent its uniforms to this occupation.

9:01 pm
where it's this humanitarian front is covering up the corporate plunder of haiti's riches i had something called the haitian lawyers leadership network which i founded in one nine hundred ninety four twenty four years ago and the purpose was to institutionalize the rule of law and to protect and defend the cultural human economic rights of haitians living at home you know broad now the question you're asking me is. is there reporting requirement with regards to the n.g.o.s and what they're doing in haiti the ngos do whatever they want in haiti remember there's a level of racism and a level of when you're under occupation and these n.g.o.s come in they're making so much more money than let's say a haitian lawyer in haiti a native haitian lawyer in haiti who is going to fight on behalf of let's say the victims. so you're talking about a disparity of power you're talking about this idea that these these white folks
9:02 pm
like oxfam's director who was who was. fired and the other i think they fired oxfam fired three 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 take a short break right now and when we're back we'll continue talking to you as needed until human rights lawyer discussing the humanitarian missions in haiti and the op where they have been causing stay with us.
9:03 pm
crazy conspiracy they're there they're all were there. forget about the back of the bus just run them over because we want to rush. wonder bread and. that's. the way to the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. just a little simple they want to be. honest about it but many of them look for refuge
9:04 pm
9:05 pm
and we're back with you don't owe haitian human rights lawyer we're discussing the controversy around eight missions in haiti so now the haitian president not sure an investigation is calling the office them affair the tip of the iceberg but only on the hand can the haitian government really afford to poke into other aid groups besides oxfam president mention investigated mid-song france 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. well 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's symptoms like when you have no clean water no health care no infrastructure those are all symptoms of
9:06 pm
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 u.n. troops and their sex rings and and their cholera has gotten to haiti and all
9:07 pm
of the travesties that we've had to suffer directly since two thousand and four when the u.n. came in and they came in the u.n. came in. after the united nations has made the united states france and canada and the western powers ouster 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 nice charity and look at these haitians and all their problems and you say these things all the time this is what
9:08 pm
they say about haiti we are the poor person trying his guys i am out i don't understand it's not like they're there by force right someone 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 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
9:09 pm
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 us cked 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
9:10 pm
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
9:11 pm
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 hot 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 well 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
9:12 pm
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
9:13 pm
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 yeah still i mean you already ait's i think you know that foreign foreign aid cripples most african nations i think you already know that the stis district 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 have as you 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 you run
9:14 pm
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 a part of u.n. or i'm it's also important yeah or other n.g.o.s who want to help right there are a lot of philanthropist who want to help you know if you're sitting in your house you are sure as 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 shot. you know i could show is like a tiny little bit of so small compared to the clinton global
9:15 pm
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 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
9:16 pm
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 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 a type of projects that people who are interested in helping haiti can do assist
9:17 pm
and ended digit is haiti lead haiti capacity building organization not 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.
9:18 pm
still. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it be in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict just found innocent the idea that we more executing innocent people is terrifying the is just no way to parent and that we're even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the get tell here is because
9:19 pm
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 and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten point collar crime stamping each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be all for the rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember a one to one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only boom bust.
9:20 pm
coming up this hour a special report from syria on had the country's slowly rising from the ruins off to seven years of cold. oh my god. that's coming. out of. a protest in the gaza strip continues with palestinians attempting to break through the border fence respond with tear gas meanwhile as more protests erupt on the border we speak to a rap artist who shot to fame after filming a video at the demonstration. and hillary clinton backs a young girl who knows the national anthem and protest against social injustice we
9:21 pm
put the issue for the back. needs to spend more time in a constructive manner trying to get what she wants it's not to say it's wrong for them to basically stand up for what they believe in what this little girl was doing that's all. international this friday evening. in moscow now we start with syria where years of war and terrorist war against terrorists the country in ruins huge amounts of. were destroyed including factories and hospitals we visited some of the sites there is rebuilding starts and people try to get 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
9:22 pm
the war so a lot of people just don't have a place they can call home anymore secondly infrastructure is a big issue because major transportation arteries have been cut and thirdly electricity so skies 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 fight has countered this facility they looted it's clean for equipment and left it badly damaged it's fully operational now but lack of power force 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 and parents are
9:23 pm
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 suffered malnutrition the 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 i hear some branches of the trees are actually broken under the weight of peaches puts vons agriculture and international aid is helping to put food back on people's plates so now with the fighting contained to smallpox. it's syrians can treat themselves to something nice this ice cream plant has even had a go with its old interpretation of the oreo recipe yet all of this is great on
9:24 pm
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 see with this bridge destroyed of commuters had to gamble with their lives taking long detours through 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'm reporting from syria forty.
9:25 pm
well amid the massive reconstruction there there's also room for artwork because these artists once lived in a refugee camp near damascus but had to flee when it came under attack with pace returning though they've now returned to depict the aftermath of the fighting they say they want to leave a wreck or future generations of what happened at the camp and what they went through. now a young girl from maryland who was reportedly reprimanded for kneeling during the pledge of allegiance at school has won the support of hillary clinton the former presidential candidate tweeted that it does take courage to express disagreement with injustice eleven year old mariana taylor hopes people more people will join her. it's important to stand up. and tell us what. you think you know. well
9:26 pm
mariana said she was inspired by an american football quarterback who notes during the national anthem before a game in twenty sixteen to protest against racial inequality police brutality is silent protest things spread among out the other athletes to a miss provoked a political debate which reached all the way to the white house but you love to see one of these. when somebody disrespects. to say get that son over the field right now out this guy that was not against our anthem or our flag that was actually kneeling is a reference position but responding to the girl's move the american civil rights union urged all maryland schools to guarantee students the freedom of speech without punishment meanwhile the girl's school has issued a statement to saying it's not aware of any being disciplined for such behavior but mariana does say her teachers shouted at her and she left the classroom in tears
9:27 pm
earlier we discussed the issue with john logan a former missouri republican and also richard goodstein he's a former advisor to the hillary clinton presidential campaign. football is about football schools about school and if you have a protest protest in a constructive way this girl can write letters to the editor she can arrange a little march put protesting in your classroom to irritate your classmate mates and virtue signal and that's what she's being taught mom's teaching her mom is so proud you're taking to the streets is that bothersome to people is that annoying to people when you get when you get arrested just reportedly when you get shot disproportionately when you get put in jail just proportionally that's not just annoying that's totally ruining your life so the fact you're taking to the streets is not merely disruptive you're trying to make a point and let's you have a goal and something that you actually have a path to accomplish then you're just disrupting you're just being an antagonist to
9:28 pm
your fellow athletes or the fans or in this case to her classmates what does she want what's going to make her stand peace on earth and you know will we ever get to the point where there's no discrimination no there are bigoted people let's stipulate that there are people who are bigoted they will be bigoted forever donald trump is giving them a voice but the fact of the matter is it's not to say it's wrong for them to basically stand up for what they believe in that's what this little girl was doing that's all the democratic party the united states gets her power on dividing people and separating us versus them there's class warfare gender warfare they want to show that everybody's got a reason for injustice and they need to vote democrat to war in order to fix it and that's all this is it's just it's pure politics and hillary hillary clinton got millions more votes than donald trump did and her campaign theme was being together not dividing people she wasn't mocking handicapped people she wasn't telling punch him in the jaw and i'll pay your legal bills that's not what her
9:29 pm
theme was thirteen was about bringing people together. now in other news that has come to light the pentagon released. stripped of his security clearance after he complained about had lucrative contracts were given so you stefan how a man who turned out to be an f.b.i. informant with more details on this his kind of my viewers will recall stefan helper at the university of cambridge helper met with an individual from the trump campaign carter page and this meeting took place roughly three weeks before the f.b.i. launched its investigation into alleged collusion between trump and russia it was later revealed that stefan helper has a long history as an f.b.i. informant he's worked with the cia what we're also learning is that an individual named adam a lot of injure has been stripped of his security clearance now adam levin sure is a twelve year pentagon strategist he has worked with the pentagon he raised why it was that stefan helper was receiving over
9:30 pm
a million dollars over the course of six years and different contracts and it wasn't exactly clear what work he was carrying out now adam levin sure raised this complaint and he was then stripped of his security clearance now he filed a whistleblower retaliation complaint and his attorneys are pointing out kind of an interesting chain of events this is what his attorney has to say. rick to cope with drugs very close to the vest and nobody seems to have any idea what he was doing. he. did out a good chunk of it. he composed them and then collect the burmans as he's free. is it possible that adam a lot of injure was fired simply for asking about the money that was going to stefan help or in these contracts these allegations are being raised there's a lot of talk about when is it proper to strip someone of their security clearance and when is it not it indicates that there seems to be quite a bit of disagreement.
