on the job despite facing criminal charges and washington ashley banks art. while you talk about one of the worst black eyes in the history of the many black eyes that we've had. to be out there and our federal government's complete lack of reaction or as if well it's your problem that is what really got me you know it's that thing of going went where was obama where was where were the progressives where were those people who say no we're going to do something about this i'm a nothing happened nobody of responsibility that's all that passed the bar the bar pass a budget and you know they wouldn't give them any money to fix that they would give money to fix that what's interesting is people are hungry for people to not to take the fall to be held accountable for their failure as a government officials and in fact when the judge announced this decision there was a woman in the chambers who actually yelled out yes yes yes they're there that

hungry for somebody to be held accountable for what happened yeah you know. like they're saying there was at least ninety cases of legionnaires' occurred and. genesee county including twelve deaths and more than half the people have this common thread that they had spent time with mclaren hospital with what was on the water and that's probably what's going to be argued in this trial you know all right and that's what lions attorney is going to argue with that he didn't mesh later warren and that's what we've heard again and again that he didn't initially warns that ascends about the possibility because he didn't know for sure and they were a little confused about where the legionnaire status is coming from which i'm sure is they didn't want to say it was from the water and it was related to that here's my problem you have a duty as a public official that when there is legionnaires' disease going around you tell people i don't care what what causes it i don't care who's. from mars it is you're still let people know that they might. be at risk of contracting legionnaires' and

it's kind of the first step an accountability attorney general spokesman angela diety told the media. we're not looking to today to as a what our last are looking at today as the first step in the next up for justice in the moms kids dads flint and that's important because the foot but still doesn't have clean water and you've got to take that first step of justice and wrap your art as we go to break card watchers don't let us don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered up facebook and twitter and see our poll shows that are t. dot com coming up prisoners across the united states have gone on strike today and we've talked to prison reform activists up and steal about their demand stay tuned to watch the whole.

we have no idea what safe he's doing on vacation but she will be back on air in september. gypsy simply said. up and up it basically it was in the. house it will either be useful. to you or the talking to this. coming up ok i'll get one of them to meet you i do believe. that a lot of what i think about tom and i is good but i'm about the same as art but i was up the money into. making money i left my

money how much. to say to each. their own so who is a long. long way from which of you meet. other people more gulf ohmss that was on the. list. if you. see.

they say that manufacturing is dead in the us but in our prisons it's alive and well see in the united states more than sixty thousand incarcerated citizens are forced to work for a unicorn a government owned manufacturing business that relies almost entirely on force prison labor they make military uniforms license plates mattresses food service linens firearms targets office furniture and even provide data services unicorn pays in maids between twenty three cents and one dollar and fifty cents per hour for their work at the california department of corrections bragged on twitter in july that they had more than two thousand volunteer inmate firefighters including fifty eight youth of vendors battling wire wildfire flames throughout california and those inmates fighting those fires received one dollar per hour. and if this were any other country would be calling for sanctions but in the us this kind of slave labor is actually protected by our constitution section one of the thirteenth

amendment the us constitution which was ratified and adopted in december of eight hundred sixty five states neither slavery nor involuntary servitude servitude except as a punishment for crime where of the party shall have been duly convicted shall exist within the united states or any place subjected to their jurisdiction so what's happening here folks is that our constitution sadly allows for people to be treated like slaves as long as they were convicted of a crime any crime and since private prison corporations or their shareholders are profiting on the forced labor of citizens within our correctional facilities well slavery is alive and well and heavily subsidized by the u.s. government and today prisoners and at least seventeen states across the nation will be refusing to participate in slave labor by joining the national prison strike starting august twenty first we were joined earlier by kevin seale prison reform activists working with the incarcerated workers organizing committee to tell us more about the strike and their demands. the president is from or has twenty four

hours to sub some of. those deuces chose a specific lou for. so bruce some of. those the do you post the way he was to go to prison a prison goes all the. time i'm over the sort of version of the article. so we chose those two twos because those are the number of votes that have been the prism of you expose this to go as long as possible we're going to try to hold it up as all this possible is over the to get the done of the war. on the. prison knows. little progress to be. with looking for the truth. to be little for the prison litigation though to be rescinded those are just a few of them is that the put it. to me as those calls from local prisons.

one of the things they came up and the in this prison a strike and looking at the issues is essentially prison labor and the riot when you look at the raw in south carolina was a perfect example of why we need reform in our prisons and it was just the tip of the iceberg but we didn't see that sort of. outcry from the mainstream media outrage over the conditions they were in the prisoners are standing up but it's it is revealing that the really sad truth that chattel slavery never won a way in the united states in in a sense can you explain a little bit about how how did our prison system become a source of cheap labor and why is that being allowed under the constitution. is so.

when the president actually allowed to go on they could have stopped the virus from happening they could've stopped the from leaders who they try. and push for the. i believe this country this country was build the slavery so when slavery was a so-called that. they had the fond definitively to continue the cheap labor to continue to build the nation so they were going to jump. through different segments of the slave in different forms and that if this fall we were able to legally keep on keeping on cheap labor continue to grow the country and the masses you have these big corporations such as. various corporations.

for cheap labor but there's no there's no out against these big corporations so that's a problem we have in this country and i think it's just i think it's. our president's nudges. in the past haven't just all the this the slavery in this country. and we need we need to make some changes that. allows they've got to be the country that needs to be addressed it's easy for them to kind of turn their backs on our the prisoners of our system because well they committed a crime they're there for a reason we can do whatever we want to them they're a blight on society those are all the kind of excuses that are used in the process of those excuses you you forget that we're talking about human beings whether girl exactly or are justly prison or whatever we're still talking about human beings at the end of the day and they all share basic rights regardless of crimes committed

now once a person enters the prison system in the united states to never. truly leave it why is it so important for prisoners to retain their right specially the right to vote once they've served their time once they're let free you know why is the right to vote so important that we should be taking that away just because someone's convicted of a pony. is not it's not just the game part of it when you're free so-called free is to actually give these. men or women rights to vote their president they're not animals they committed a crime or they made a. mistake in a lives so that makes them not human a law that makes them no longer american citizens which does something as with. we can see people. in prison to not be american citizens no longer when they

come home they have to pay to. have to do everything outside of actually participate in. the vote which is so with this and this zero point zero we give these. men a woman right to vote while their president and the was this least there of. some point to get them divorced because we were in the situation we will have a down from. if we have more the vote more voters who are part of the local who have these problems we have more people to vote there's less there's less voters because. we incarcerate the most people in the world so there's a whole there's millions of people. that can vote. so that's a big problem because you. amazing point i never thought about the you know what just because you go into jail doesn't mean you're suddenly lose your basic rights

of being a u.s. citizen that's a great that's a really fun term that's really fantastic point one of the things that we've seen over the years of why it's gotten worse and worse and worse when you think about it should have gotten better and that things have gotten better was decades of bad policy from the federal government capitol hill and presidents. are prisons. are aren't a rehabilitation centers they are not places where someone goes to understand maybe the mistakes they've made make different decisions because we've taken away every single opportunity for people to learn and it's become a political talking point when it is the summit a little bit about policies like you mention the prison litigation reform act the sentencing reform act how those things stripped prisoners of basic human rights and why is something like how do they get past this. the policies those placed on prison. litigation reform.

this foam. grievance the stuff you give us to go directly to the fertile. someone the society the you have to go to defense because they thing your grievance is not. so they will know they don't want to waste the time of the federal to get involved in a new grievance so you had to go to the state you had to go to the facility that you were at different processes just to get to the core system but i get that you're already denied. so that's something that's really. sad that we could. place these policies in place a key slave people as a. human being is that that's the biggest thing about this is to treat them as if the room. we're treating them as if. they're less than human and that's something that needs to be addressed but alas it is and the policies need to be changed and

in order for the policy of the change it takes us. vote vote. it takes the was as our that can vote to apply pressure to these lawmakers see where they stay they have the. say listen we're not going to back you if you will make this change so it's takes us out here to put our vote over to put a vote for place to say listen this is what we need we need to go vote you know i want to as i want to ask you what do you think is the biggest misunderstanding that people have about. prisoners incarcerated folks your legs or drum roll you were incarcerated a vigil what is that biggest misunderstanding that people view this strike they need remember when they're seeing these prisoners by and for their rights. the

biggest miss the biggest misunderstood thing about prison that all of. knowing more through it all they don't have feel they don't have a heart and that they deserve whatever. for they deserve the toilet it was given they are all. guilty of that they convicted for something i was far from true and their religious not worthy of being of. service and that something needs to be changed there was this article that was put out. to the sixteen this is a president is the course of a facility they have a. they be hard to be in it was room there was a view of about the saying this opposed the war because the.

believe tour of the. argue it was given as well. as of. we. we was given with so with how people think these boards and they work. with those so this. collection is this collection that we have. once one leaves society and goes into prison full of. specially if they blow. in one thousand nine hundred four and nasa craft clementine deliver data that suggested there was ice in the surface of the moon at the north and south poles now some twenty four trips around the sun later researchers at the university of hawaii have proof that clementine was correct nasa creation the moon mineralogy mapper travel to and from the moon in two thousand and eight but the data is only now reaping the benefit of the data shows that there is a small patches of ice on our moon surface this means that if ice is on the surface

there may be even more buried within the soil peter task could reveal. where the ice originated since the pouch on the south pole is concentrated in craters while the north patches are not suggesting the ice may have rode along on a meteor some scientists even think will be able to convert lunar ice into rocket fuel meeting in a few decades the move could be home to some of us like to get some of the. lunar water and my nice cup of coffee or a map from the inner water. who's excited about it i'll retire on the mound at our corporate heads are so for you to day ever burgled in this world we are not told we love the nothing so i tell you all i love i am tired robin turner and i have a lot of people i love watching those hawks out there are great to be.

survival. thank you just like to start simply. let those. repatriations look at the rest of seventy years. philip to sever ties or work. from. the article below. zero zero.

zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero. those who don't. need to know that there will always be a serious price to pay if red line across. the british foreign secretary urges more sanctions against russia during a visit to washington the u.s. treasury further punitive measures over moscow's quote activity. we can bring even more economic pain to be here and we will not hesitate to do so if its conduct does not demonstrably and significantly change. russian hackers are added again by targeting u.s. conservative think tanks but while listing the supposed culprits the tech giant took the chance to push its own products. and as the syrian

army gears up to retake the rebel held. western media outlets warn of a civilian massacre of the same outlets about failed to mention that much of the area is under the control of hardline islamist groups accused of. broadcasting while direct from our studios in moscow this is our to international thomas glad to have you with us. all right sanctions were high on the agenda in washington this tuesday with yet more calls to tighten restrictions against russia over a series of issues for which moscow's being blamed the british foreign secretary who is on his first official visit to the u.s. urged western partners to ramp up the pressure on russia. those who do. use

need to know that there will always be a serious price to pay if red lines across its day the united kingdom its allies to go further by calling on the european union to ensure its sanctions against russia a comprehensive and that we truly stand shoulder to shoulder with the u.s. we heard him speak to the u.s. peace institute he made his remarks and essentially he called for more hostility to russia in essence and it's interesting because his speech was actually leaked to the press ahead of time so people knew what he was going to say before he said it then he followed the draft of his speech that was leaked pretty pretty closely and now just two weeks ago we saw a new sanctions imposed on russia by the united states in response to the accusation about the involvement in the chemical weapons attack now the latest measures will come into rounds those sanctions are they limit financing and exports

they specifically banned the sale of national security goods that are sensitive like technology the the second round the tougher round that will come into force in november. could include the banking sector restrictions on imports and it would actually suspend diplomatic relation there and actually terminate flights between the two countries now moscow has said that this amounts to economic warfare against russia this is what has been the response i suppose that i'm not saying not support of russia will consider retaliate remasters in response to yet more adverse steps from washington mutual in light of these the confirmation by the u.s. administration of its read and that is to keep improving relations with russia just looks ridiculous it's a blatant hypocrisy yes it was possible but the if something follows something like a restriction of the operations of russian banks to foreign currency it can become . for what it is a declaration of economic and it will be necessary to respond to this war with

economic political if necessary because of the message you now it's still an open question whether the usa the u.k. and the european union will all fall into line against russia when we are as of yet having waiting to see any solid evidence to back up the accusations that are justifying these new sanctions and economic attacks meanwhile the u.s. treasury has frozen millions of dollars worth of russian assets or washington correspondents america has more samir it's getting harder to keep up with the rate of sanctions washington's imposing what do we know about this latest statement from the treasury well the treasury department did explain it all and its statement saying that these efforts have been taken in order to counter russia's efforts to challenge the u.s. and its allies listing a few examples including the occupation of crimea subverting western democracy its neighboring the assad regime just to name

a few now in the statement to the treasury department also reiterated how well they're saying that they go away saying quote the treasury's russia sanctions program is among our most effective and impactful since january twenty seventh this administration has sanctioned two hundred seventeen russian related individuals and entities for a broad range of activities check out what else was the bread and brazenness of russia's malign conduct demands a firm and vigorous response our actions are imposing an unprecedented level of financial pressure on those supporting the kremlin's malign agenda and on the sectors of the russian economy though russia's malign activities continue its adventurism undoubtedly has been checked by the knowledge that we can bring even more economic pain to bear using our powerful range of authorities and that we. not hesitate to do so if its conduct does not demonstrably and significantly change now

while the sanctions are effective that's what the us claims they come at a pretty steep price not only do they impact the us but they also impact europe and the european commission had a few words of course u.s. policies are impacting on german foreign trade individual companies are grinding their teeth and are severely affected german companies fear a short term loss of ongoing business operations worth hundreds of millions of euros furthermore the short term terminations of contracts with suppliers for example could lead to production losses along the entire production chain since a replacement of equal quality has to be found first. america first cannot mean that europe's interests come last. the fear is that american policy will restrict the behavior of european companies and impact in their view policymaking with the in the. europe's energy supply is

a matter for you or not the united states of america even though trump says that he wants to improve relations with russia it seems that out washington doesn't really want that to happen. one of the malign activities that's upsetting washington right now is alleged russian hacking and microsoft claims it's forded a fresh attack the tech giant says the targets where the u.s. senate and a number of conservative think tanks but mainstream outlets reporting on microsoft's findings rushed to draw their usual conclusion about who was behind it all attempts by russia to hack u.s. senate and conservative groups russian military operation the intelligence operation the russian military intelligence unit. i would argue that your staff takes us through microsoft's questions. microsoft is ringing the alarm russians are added again apparently how has set up a bunch of websites doppelganger is of those belonging to prominent political

groups and the us senate this technique is known as fishing designed to lure unsuspecting users to pages that look just like the real thing and then basically steal their data according to microsoft or they recognize this tactic from a few years back we saw this during the united states general election in twenty sixteen last major in the french presidential election and now in a broadening way as americans are preparing for the november midterm elections. midterms are a big deal in the states for those of you unfamiliar that's elections in congress with close to all seats up for grabs this november for russians to mess it up would be the second worst thing after rigging the presidential race except microsoft's panic post has raised doubts among the i.t. crowd one you don't have to be a hacker let alone a member of any organization to create a fake website of the senate or even the president all they need is an internet

connection about thirty minutes of spare time and about fifty bucks job done to microsoft insists it's the in a tourist hacker group known as fancy bears behind their websites mimicking but those fifty bucks should have concealed the domain owner's identity so it's still not entirely clear how microsoft is pinning the blame here still even if it is fancy but let's just say their connection to the kremlin is still subject to debate it's not a hard fact three and probably the most important microsoft has written in black and white that they have no evidence the websites were actually used for any attacks moreover they couldn't pinpoint the target or targets for any planned attacks to summarize microsoft was driven by a gut feeling that something bad's going to happen when you see someone buying

a knife and assuming they're going to use it as a weapon there is something russia pointed out in its official response again we have to state what was still to be obvious despite our desire it's impossible to comment on statements made without any evidence and that are clearly created for public attention it's sad that a big international company that successfully worked for a long time in the russian market and has to be a part of the witch hunt now has in the washington but microsoft insists the threat is there and. oh how convenient already has a solution on standby microsoft account god will be provided for free to complains and candidates it will alert them of potential threats and educate how to keep networks secure so a threat or no threat microsoft has nothing to lose but this new product of theirs won't market itself. the syrian army appears to be gearing up for an offensive on the country's last.
