information provided by ash walk wasn't enough to identify the man fearing for her safety in germany she decided to move back to iraq. i think i told my dad that the person who raped me was in germany that i didn't want to leave there no matter what my dignity is more important than being in germany i put my life in danger to escape from myself to retain my dignity and he wanted me to stay in germany knowing that the one who was responsible for my misery is free in that country all i wanted was to be somewhere safe but after meeting him i was afraid the whole time that he heard me again so i couldn't stay there anymore. russia's defense ministry warns that terrorists in cahoots with the west start preparing to stage a chemical attack in syria with details on that after the short break stay with us .

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten like howard prime chappie each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trades per circuit first second and fifth cornrows to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one distance shows you can't afford to miss the one and only boom bust. i began this national camera. roughly once they showed some leave for them to.
1:37 pm
her. own cool videos and sell them with the roughly string apps. line down more on string i don't rightly don't t.v. . russia's defense ministry has warned of an imminent provocation being prepared in syria one that with a terrorist stage a chemical attack and lay the blame on the government. a strike on. using poison lead missiles is planned within the next forty eight hours thus some play is outside the region of preparing yet more provocations on syrian soil involving chemical weapons with the aim of destabilizing the situation there and undermining the positive dynamics of the ongoing peace process. correspondent don corso it's always been a studio now to discuss these explosive claims hey what are the details do we know
1:38 pm
about this alleged planned provocation well the latest report comes from residents in a province in syria and they're saying a group of civilians is being trained in kafr as an area near that province to act out a fake chemical attack aftermath in which they'll be blaming it on the assad government of course and apparently eight barrels of chlorine have already been delivered there the white how much it's are also apparently ready to perform a fake rescue according to the russian defense ministry they want to send footage to arabic and english media outlets with the help of british special services also according to the ministry now we asked the white house to comment on their involvement in all this but they haven't yet responded at all moskos not just concerned about the possible actions of those on the ground in syria is that that's right in fact just a few days ago quite out of the blue john bolton said that washington would respond very strongly if it thought that the assad government potentially used chemical
1:39 pm
weapons and let's take a listen to what he had to say. we now see plans for the syrian regime to resume offensive military activities and. we are obviously. about the possibility that it may use chemical weapons again if the syrian regime uses chemical weapons we will respond very strongly. now interestingly enough around the same time as bolton statement the u.s.s. the sullivans was deployed to the persian gulf and according to the russian defense ministry this is a destroyer class ship armed with cruise missiles and the ministry is also saying that the u.s. u.k. and france are preparing for a strike in the area. what is the exact situation in it province right now who's control of what well it's the last terrorist stronghold located in syria after the syrian government's victory in and around damascus they cut
1:40 pm
a peace deal and the they saved thousands of civilian lives but the tradeoff was in buses to problems now for terrorist groups are now in power they're the most powerful being. and that's formally formerly known as al nusra with others being. islam and now are all but they're not exactly unified now they've started warring in the area putting thousands of civilian lives at risk so reports of beheadings caging people even using human shields are already commonplace there and reports are also suggesting that some of these groups are preparing a final push against government areas in syria hoping to stage a chemical attack that they would be able to gain support from the west with the situation is even more fragile because the area was determined a so-called deescalation zone after negotiations between russia iran and turkey but unfortunately it seems like there's not going to be any distance deescalation going

on anytime soon. i don't cos i thank you for bringing us up to speed on that story . around two hundred fifty protesters at the university of north carolina at chapel hill pulled down a controversial confederate statue on monday night the one hundred five year old monuments known as silence had long been seen as a symbol of white supremacy. erected in nine hundred thirteen it commemorated those who died fighting for the slave holding confederate states in the american civil war the monument had polarized opinion on campus for decades and have been vandalized in the past although many store it is racist and offensive others argued it was part of the south's heritage and should therefore have been preserved the university for this for its part condemns the toppling of the statue as unlawful and dangerous but did acknowledge
1:42 pm
the monuments divisive nature at least one person was reportedly arrested during the demonstration and police are investigating the act of vandalism the incident forms part of a growing backlash against confederate symbols across the country. democratic . or african american.
1:43 pm
political activist anthony welch is right on conservative radio host dave perkins discussed the implications of the events how the best stages of the confederation period should be dealt with. they're abandoning the historical context they're forgetting why those statues stand there who it was that put them there what the thinking was at the time and what the statues represent the history that led up to this or that person being remembered in a statute these statues are a continuation of that history of white supremacy that quite frankly this nation was stolen on slashdot under what we're talking about symbols that we're seeing
1:44 pm
couldn't place really to fight for oppressive system there was chattel slavery that regulated black people as an human as property what was the history that caused that state you to appear it wasn't just a simple we love him he's racist he's a southerner he's a general in the civil war he's a k.k.k. guy he was racist they put that statue up because they were racist and he was racist and they wanted to remember him in the context of everyone being racist together that's hyper simplified and stupid and ignorant of history why don't your work evil on the right talking about the slavery that's happening right here so to say that we colored that far along i don't think that you can say that you have a president who is incited by the us against people of color whose dog whistles at racism have become. the ones which have led to people like our sister on heather being killed in charlottesville last year on why don't we see conservatives talking about that hate why don't we see conservatives going up against
1:45 pm
a president who has literally under you talk about prudence when you're more concerned with this actually than you are n.f.l. players having the right to take in the stand up services in the white supremacy that run this country everything that happens here in the public square in public view is political those young people believe it or not do not come up with this plan on their own it isn't a spontaneous organic demonstration it's a political plan involving street activity designed you. to divide us because there is an election coming up in just a couple of months of midterm election year where all congressmen and one third of senators are up for reelection it's not do this at all to the top of your presser this is it's forcing people to look at something to have to increase symbols but white supremacy when they're going to school black and brown women so
1:46 pm
on their currency to see white men who say machinery against their insistence who say she kind of each that to me it's a visit and not talking about it is that this is always left now your thought so do you get in touch by following us on social media we'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest feedback. finally i got home and also to pick up laddie now constant whining and downtown to the point about. finding you feel you would have been obviously to the point of.
1:47 pm
me. said don't you see. people whom it is. good to laugh that it might have been love a little bit about a little bit the reality that i'm not much good little rock much of the way for the mob to go to but it. won't be. some. say. see. you couldn't be no problem.
1:48 pm
during his years serving his region is chief executioner jerry would hear inmates swear they were innocent. when you hear a person going to his death be stricken out and he was innocent to the last syringe going to his body he's taken out that he was innocent on his last words. give me something to think about as execution and place some doubt. there was one young man in particular washington jr. he was tried to tell society back then that he was innocent to get no one really. pay no attention. in one thousand nine hundred three earl was arrested in culpepper virginia and brought in for questioning he thought it was for a burglary he had committed these question a in the by different crime.
1:49 pm
and up they use it at uscis data. and they then know i want to call. them out which call kept my will. was going to death penalty. after intense questioning police officers extracted a confession from her for the brutal rape and stabbing murder of a one thousand year old mother of three. at his trial experts testified that earle had an i.q. of only sixty nine and was extremely suggestible casting doubt on his confession. despite inconclusive evidence the jury found guilty and the judge sentenced him to death. he was taken to mecklenburg a supermax prison in virginia. he was scared to death he was tempted he didn't want to come out of so. he's mentally retarded he couldn't read
1:50 pm
he couldn't write i walked in to the cell and canadian thing bangle door come see what you. that was earl the whole time he was on the road he was. scared him it. out as they were me my mom dating. a promise when serie. a movie was a made to see the mom would have needed. two weeks before earl's date of execution the guards came to transport him to the death house in richmond. a charity mob put him in a way say in handcuffs shackles and they walked him out. literally drug him out and everybody's banging on the door for the fossil record. joe
1:51 pm
reached out to his caseworker marie deans to see if anything could be done. i called mary in a panic and said i was. i don't know if this guy did or not but i don't think he did i'll bet his god knows what's going on when early arrived at the death house he was handed over to gary i received earl from mecum ber and when he came in i gave him a good turn into the infirmary he was given a complete physical. at that time we only had. death by electrocution chair so he didn't have a choice you could her you know you had led to the one through to your home and have a deeper hole we got with the he said he was getting really from. what i have been. and that big a mother will no longer want me to go i'll go again you know naming or no way.
1:52 pm
working day and night joe and marie secured a rare stay of execution marie was convinced that earl had been pressured into falsely confessing my work with mentally retarded defendants made me know that this was a what we would call a coerced confession whether it was course psychologically or what. did you kill that woman no. but you told the police that you did. it yes why did you tell the police that you did it. oh no no no no you understand then that you were being. accused of a murder. he didn't understand most. new d.n.a. tests proved earl was not the murderer he was moved off death row but he remained in prison virginia law at the time did not allow the introduction of new evidence.
1:53 pm
gerry heard little about what happened to earl his focus was on preparing for the next execution. one year after the boston marathon bombing and the morial service brought everyone together for the first time. when we walked. down the road to the site. ron and i and christie stopped at each site and said a prayer. a week later karen and ron united with survivors at the two thousand and fourteen boston marathon. they cheered their friend celeste in a symbolic run across the finish line. i am angry at what he did and when i see my friends and they struggle and i
1:54 pm
see other survivors. i don't want my decision to be based on how angry i get in those instances. that paul judge will tool announced the trial would be held in boston. and we have two choices we can either let him stay alive and have his interaction and have his choice. or put him to die. and have that be the end of it. they don't get to see their little boy playing baseball anymore or reading him a story at night and in this young man is in jail and he's reading stories that he likes he's got books available to him that he enjoys or he meets with his sisters and gets to see pictures of their children growing up and i just don't
1:55 pm
think it's fair that they have had their their joys taken away from them and he still is able to experience that. karen decided to attend the trial. i want to be there to see. justice. in philadelphia nearly four years after vicki instils daughter shannon was murdered the police got a lead. in two thousand and would there been a series of salt started to employees in fort collins colorado they put out a report to police agencies all across the united states. so they sent the from shannon's case to fort collins. the
1:56 pm
d.n.a. was a match. the suspect was married and employed at an air force base. about eight o'clock that night twenty third day of april. two thousand and two this fellow and his wife walked into the police station and by midnight that night they had a full confession for the dozen different cases. the men they arrested twenty nine year old troy graves philadelphia's elusive center city rapist. graves was accused of multiple counts of sexual assault and one count of murder in the death of shannon schieber. the prosecutor was district attorney lynn abraham. the prosecutor in the city of philadelphia who is known as a pretty deadly d.a. in other words she put more people on death row then any other prosecutor in pennsylvania and probably any large number around the country. troy graves was
1:57 pm
found guilty and the district attorney wanted the death penalty but the she bers did not. it meant they would have to fight for the life of their daughter's killer we had said to each other and consulted with our very large families that what we do if they ever caught a ball we would stick to our present and off someone was going to want to put to death we were going to argue for a life without the possibility of parole. the district attorney voiced her disagreement and outrage. the district attorney there became very very upset she became very public with her and with her opinion and she said i don't care what the she burst that the death penalty was the appropriate sentence for their daughter's murder. why were they not one. for vicki in cill the answer was clear. we just can't let this anger this natural human
1:58 pm
anger and pain overwhelm us and make us so then full and hateful because it would just over time destroy us and we know that. vicki and still received piles of hate mail the qs ing them of not loving their daughter. you know if you can't stand by your principles when it's difficult they're not your principal. several years past before jerry learned that her washington was not guilty. it had to be like fifteen to twenty executions at that girl who was released from death row that i found out that he was he was innocent as it were out as that's as close calling you know he came within days in how to execute an innocent person. criminal justice system supposed to be the best in the world. make those mistakes
1:59 pm
and yet when you see a person like earl washington. something happened there. in the aftermath of the oklahoma city bombing in one thousand nine hundred five congress passed legislation to escalate death sentences the result was a dramatic increase in executions by one thousand nine hundred nine jerry was putting to death more than one person per month. and the death certificate reads. death by almost i. you know i don't make sense i don't want to be consider that person deaths committed almost but that's what it really. at the. sixty two executions and the only kilobit akon seen was myself and i refused to look into the mirror. she nearly took the life of her washington
2:00 pm
and couldn't help but wonder if there were others. research now shows that for every nine executions there is one inmate found innocent and exonerated. one out of ten who might have been mistakenly put to death. when i was a child same wrong god why don't we all just don't all. the balls to get to shape out just a chance to come to educate and engage baghdad because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we just.
