8:30 pm
so we're back to this. they can't even i mean that one thing. i find that very strange looking out of the. well then you would be investigating that's why i found what i was looking for but i kept looking. thing these documents that have come out . and to be clear i mean they don't nobody at that organization has said that these are. altered that they're looking into how they were essentially that's what confirm them because initially when these documents at the internet a lot of people myself included. a range document. reality to it. i believe it was. actually peter hitchens the journalist asked about the legitimacy of the leak. the legitimacy of the documents. the findings in what they did the o.p.c. technical secretariat is conducting an internal investigation about the release of
8:31 pm
the document in question. they might not have used this particular document we don't know when this document was written and coordination when they released the official findings. response to that no one knows about a 1000000 questions right now surrounding this document that needs to be answered any good journalist would be saying let's find the answers to these questions because. this proper investigation because look. this document now calls into question the official justification that was used by u.s. elected officials to drop bombs on syria to. let's not forget it was a really major. said donald did that and that speaks to the reputation of the o.p.c. they need that they need to come forward and say look here's why this was written this is why we didn't use these findings in the final report and there could be good explanations without the right now we're getting. right but i think the thing
8:32 pm
that kind of bothers me is this well we this is about one incident and if you can't have a conversation about one disputed incident then. then what's the point what's the point about any of it if you're just going to say whatever it is it is and that means every single time these things have happened this is this is who did it it was the assad regime it was you know this group it was the taliban it was something i mean i think the obvious the obvious reason you have to be really careful about saying that it might not be the assad regime is because of who we were armed you know the u.s. was arming and other countries were arming in that area that suddenly there could be culpability one of the things i said so the head of russian military reconciliation center in syria. they had claims that they captured militants that emitted to having plans and making the plans of being part of the plans to stage chemical weapons attacks to make it look like you know which is you know just war
8:33 pm
that's that's what i mean there are those of all my gosh there's a conspiracy there that you would even think that these things but it literally aspens in every war every war somebody is making something up to point out something somebody actually did but maybe we didn't see them do it so there is always this like maybe they went too far to try to make sure it was him. the russian military head of the russian military is reconciliation southern syria also claimed that he admitted that the use of these militants 2 in. methods of creating a special chemical way. to produce and stockpile toxic agents would make sense again if that's where they got them because as far as we know everything was was cleaned up everything was done but the state department of course contest this telling the media that the russian allegations are part of a continuing december mission campaign by the assad regime in russia to create the false narrative that others are to blame for chemical weapons attacks and that assad regime itself is conducting you know with all the narratives coming out of
8:34 pm
syria from every different side it's impossible to tell what is the true so that's why it's important when you see these documents that people actually pay attention to the. question which matters there's so much buzz that comes out of all different quarters ago or exactly. the 2nd largest steel producer in the united kingdom british steel has entered insolvency this week and are asking the british government for a 30000000 pound bailout and an effort to save the nearly 25000 jobs that are at risk if the firm closes its doors purchased by grable capital in 2016 for just one pound british steel has stayed afloat by selling off carbon emission credits to cover financial shortfalls when they then came up short on carbon credits the british government approved a 180000000000. to cover the cost however it wasn't enough and now entire towns are at stake in the north of england because of what experts are calling bracks that related issues namely that customers in the european union don't want
8:35 pm
to place expensive store orders for steel when they still don't know how much they'll have to pay in customs duty u.k. labor leader jeremy corrigan had this to say in the office are they and the house of commons. this government is fully indifferent to the latest crisis in the steel industry shows today. the government must be prepared to step in and take a public stake just so you know. of high skilled jobs a british steel. foundation industry in the economy. now british steel has announced a new job yet however the entire company is looking for yet another buyer willing to take on a bumpy road ahead. tire industry just completely centrally falling to pieces you know due to. certain you know i see so many parallels between the
8:36 pm
u.s. steel industry when you don't like the lack of pre-planning the lack of taken care of it you know everyone's going to push forward with greed rather than looking at like what are the consequences of making deals and making these trade deals and things like that it's pretty incredible right and then some of it i mean what we're looking at right here i think the major question for the u.k. at least you know. is it critical is the steel industry critical to the united kingdom will they falter if there is this this one for yes that's a lot of jobs but should it you know how much how much should you bail something out there we have the same question here of the big banks on a smaller scale but. comprehensively it's the same thing you see of this very large area so what corman is suggesting and what what is the big question now. aside from all the bracks it stuff you have they're dealing with the parliament what they're doing we have this idea of korban saying that you know british steel
8:37 pm
should be a publicly owned company saying it's sort of this critical for an economy it's essential to to that but. is it is a question i mean yes i understand you're a labor labor party leader so of course this is about labor but when you look at it it's a little bit different so philip booth who is the research director at the institute for economic affairs he doesn't think steel is critical and one of the things he was saying is he was on sky news and what he said is there's no reason for the government that the government should be supporting the steel industry over and above any other industry i don't think steel is strategic and the evidence suggests that protecting the steel industry is damaging to the economy and leads to more job losses because it raises costs in production chains further on you know what's interesting about this is the same week that we're having this steel debate you know about the steel industry there jamie oliver famed british have. he has to
8:38 pm
close down all of his italian restaurant. in the u.k. that he had this sort of fast casual and that risk of losing 1300 jobs now in the case of british steel it's 5000 jobs at their plants with another like 20000 jobs in the production line across you know that could. lose money but the question is are the 1300 jobs a jamie oliver's italian restaurant any less important than 5000 job steelmaking jobs. in a small northern ca and then town and northern town and northern that is a great question because it affects the steel do you know effects these tiles that work or america still that infects directly these tiles were created by the steel industry i mean martin foster a 57 year old u.k. steel worker said you've got to remember sculthorpe as a town didn't exist until this business this place was created the town was built around the steel works not the other way around you know i mean to me again this
8:39 pm
reeks of like bad civic planning this reeks of bad government deals you know businesses like this shouldn't just dry up and blow away you know but that's the thing when you look at it so you have this steel industry in england that used to be the best in the world i mean these were you went to the north of england to towns like this to to places like british steel because these were the guys who made you know the beams for the sydney harbor bridge they were the best artisans in the world and here was british steel was originally 14 major companies that merged in the sixty's since then between margaret thatcher and changes of government it's been nationalized and unmatch no i've been privatized a few times just to keep it from falling and i think we're seeing a sometimes maybe our push to keep trying to prop up banks or industries instead of shifting them and finding ways to make those towns and those people working that's that's going to be an issue whether it's in the steel industry or the food service
8:40 pm
industry the same problem or. as we go to break court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered at facebook and twitter and you tube and see our poll shows that are to dot com coming up can cutting edge d.n.a. technology help solve the current immigration crisis of the u.s. southern border next we're joined by immigration attorney i want or just stay tuned to watch. lake says and she forms part of
8:41 pm
a high altitude nature reserve. it's one of the famous charles internees years principle the waterway starts its journey. but can be summed up to the white house or an ox stop. it runs 300 kilometers from source to mouth and there are over $200.00 industrial facilities ranged along its bangs. and mouth and your muscle. limber. into 3 things. i might get out of the mind of the. room here again scoop of 4000 rice fields and supplies drinking water to 25000000 people. at the moment yes or so made by so many of us about us a member of our people.
8:42 pm
are we entering an era the end of flag money no money with flags on it are part of an open tate or royal person good day. this is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the streets. what happens to her family my daughters in florida law my other daughter. is there is in this cemetery it really messes with your what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the police needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on him and what happens in court. sean sean smart society. we don't know still
8:43 pm
just for the. end of this one we. still love. children is. the issue is between the united states federal government and the thousands of families from central american countries seeking asylum on the u.s. southern border are legion hawk watchers according to the department of homeland security one of the biggest difficulty is along the border is telling the difference between a legitimate family whatever that means seeking asylum and human traffickers pretending to be those families this is led to the d.h.s.s. implementing and new and controversial pilot program using rapid d.n.a.
8:44 pm
testing technology according to the washington post the standard methods for confirming kinship like interviewing applicants or obtaining official documents such as birth certificates are time consuming and imperfect rapid d.n.a. testing instead quote provides an objective expedient and failsafe method for verifying family claims however many immigrant rights and privacy advocates are concerned about the danger of the u.s. government using d.n.a. to help solve this particular border issue and the future ramifications it could have joining us now from new york to discuss. is immigration attorney alan or engineer thank you so much for joining us alan thank you for having me alan alan many are raising objections to using this this new kind of quick method of d.n.a. testing at the border i'm curious what what are the main objections and as an immigration and to the attorney do these do these objections hold water to you. absolutely the very 1st objects than is the family cannot be determined just by
8:45 pm
d.n.a. in many cases people have been adopted family units have been separated you might be with your and or your own goal because your parents have been murdered in these war torn areas so the conversation surrounding d.n.a. is the determiner of someone is the rightful heir of a child that's at the border with them is not really determined is most importantly the d.n.a. test does not solve the solution of these people coming to the border what it does is just sort of people who are at the border and cause a bigger dilemma right and what our government has shown is that they can't even match 17000 kids they separated from families anymore that work every member so i really wouldn't trust them to really determine if these people are families or not families that's not really addressing the issue in the testimony to congress we have known that people showing up the border has switched from individual males to women and their children so in most cases just like the other ports of entry we should determine that the immigrants we should take based on their analysis based on their just saying so that their family members because we're not testing in any other areas which is a civil rights violation number one and number 2 sort of testing these individuals
8:46 pm
and keeping the state information from children from people who are not nationals of this country is an international violation so it's very problematic. now this level of technology for d.n.a. testing is it's new to us immigration authorities you know genetic testing though is not. and that leads me to the question that has come up over the last few years about the history of genetic testing immigrants and how this idea of your blood will tell us whether or not you are to be here or not can you tell me a little bit about that has straight and the problems it's caused in previous situations tons of promises that the tests were never actually correct right one thing is the expense of doing it that's not really the best use of our time and personal information of doing it so therefore that's why there are international laws against taking a person's d.n.a. because that's the very basis of that person's being and sort of sharing that as well as. it's been used for other purposes and that's really the main concern from the civil rights that we don't know what they're using this testing for they claim
8:47 pm
that they're going to destroy it as soon as they determine who these family members are but that's problematic and in the united states history not with immigrants that came here voluntarily but with african-americans that. sticks out very rapidly of saying you were saying you were testing for one thing but these tests cost something else and the african-american community and that's the major problem here we're not sure exactly what they're doing they're doing it with the contractor and we've seen time and time again that contractors fail us in these situations even with keeping that individuals and the children safe because they're being molested and raped so it's not the appropriate action for the federal government to take they should take the money that they're using for these d.n.a. testing and give it back to these communities to stop individuals from coming here to stop the push for these individuals coming here and then address it from that angle and then if someone's coming with a young child they should not violate that child's right or that parent's right by saying you know what let me d.n.a. test you and specifically when you're only doing it at the southern border not at the northern border or at the airplane you know it's interesting you know the main
8:48 pm
argument for the look we need to stop human trafficking you know we could you know if a family comes in a group of people come in and they all claim their family they could be lying they could they could actually be human traffickers and not going to what do you say to that argument what you know what do what about that argument do you disagree with. everything so it's true about that at the at the southern border that it should be true about that of the northern border and at airports and at sea ports right we're not doing that anywhere else but at the southern border but child trafficking happens everywhere it's not just at the southern border so we're only concerned about one group of people is the real issue traffic smuggling i mean chelsea muddling or is it really something else and to me it has always been really something else when you treat one group of people are one couple of ports of entry different then you're treating the other ports and that's problematic just to give people a subset idea of what happens let's say you know someone gets tested and there are a lot of these kids are coming from places like you mentioned earlier their foster
8:49 pm
kids there you know that might not be their parents bring in could be. they could be adoptions i mean there's a 1000000 different things but they get their grandparents exactly to be their grandparents what what what happens the just so people have an idea what happens then of suddenly they decide ok you're not your d.n.a. doesn't match up you know we're just going to leave you in the desert like what is that how does this. then they separate those individuals and then the person the adult is as a smuggler that's just deemed in the wrong facts and right we don't do that even in our country right somebody could adopt a child and it's unheard of in any family court that this would be that sort of method that is used in determining a relationship or determining what a family means in a society if you want to say that this is science that's great but science isn't determining what a family should it is so therefore it is irrational and very much not addressing the problem at the southern border if they are concerned about smuggling children and the welfare of children they will address the issues in the home country not at the port of entry and then after a kid that been traumatized even if they are smuggled here then separating them
8:50 pm
again from some person that they're linked to becomes very problematic because that would be sorted in a very just system if there was a system at the border they were able to adjudicate these cases very rapidly and very simple things like you might not have your birth certificate you might not have your passport that's very clear in areas that have been war torn are dry. you have to fly in the middle not you might not have those documents but the assessment is all of these people are criminals and that's the problem that the assessment of people showing up at the southern border who are illegally applying for asylum or criminals are growing the law and that is wrong. yeah i think it's really upsetting i think to a lot of people is the it's not the technology of the d.n.a. testing technology can be wonderful it's you know we've seen of even the last month probably be 2 or 3 at least 2 possibly 3 or 4 you know 20 and 30 year old murder case is solved by using dan i have seen you know families brought back together through d.n.a. tests but like you said i mean there are those there are those of us who if we were
8:51 pm
d.n.a. tested with who are say our parents our main every story from 23 and me tells you might be surprised with your family your biological family and i think it's upsetting to a lot of people to this idea that we don't have money to test rape kits that are going on tested in this country we don't know when to actually use it program metals that you're saying you're trying to keep out but we're going to traumatize a bunch of heads now alan you've been in the immigration game for a long time are there but what are better methods for proving a familial relation and other than d.n.a. and how do we rethink that familial idea movement for about 10 minutes or so so here's the problem everybody thinks you need something new and different because they're making a situation that doesn't exist people are not rushing the border people are coming to the border and turning themselves over for the last 10 years since i've been practicing immigration for 25 years this is never been an issue so we have made an issue of saying there's the smuggler there's the super criminal so it's the
8:52 pm
criminalization of asylum at the southern border that is the problem so it really isn't that we need to do anything different we just need to continue to do things that we have done in the past such as interviewing the child and looking for the ship and then if you sort of work the system in a racist systems and you sort of check it but most importantly what we should not do is say. this is just an issue at these sports if we really care about children everywhere we should do it across all the courts i couldn't agree more because it like you said if this is really about child trafficking at the end of the day than you would be doing this with all the ports you would be would be saying you know we're going to implement d.n.a. testing on the northern border on the east and west of all the major airport you're international airports for immigrants coming in you would see this being put into place but when you don't see it and then you see this words it's just those folks down so it's just those folks coming up from central and south and mexico and the americas there because you know as someone coming from sweden they're not you're not worried if you're from swain the mexico isn't exactly you know central america so yeah and i and i do say like i one thing that the bothers me about using this
8:53 pm
d.n.a. stuff it really goes back to there's a bad history in this country you know with native americans and people this idea of one blood and with african-americans this idea of you know one drop then you're this or you have to be a certain percentage it's very problematic to favor leave it is very problematic and plus at the end of the day i'm sorry but i can't for all of the missteps that homeland security and i use and all that we've seen commit over the last you know 1015 years i do not trust as you mentioned earlier with this d.n.a. database because these agencies share information when they're not supposed to be for every one of these people now getting tested that d.n.a. could end up being used against them in something that they never even. wanted to give their d.n.a. to to begin with that's absolutely ridiculous actually you know i got to say thank you so much for coming today it's it's always wonderful to hear your perspective on these issues and keep up the great work up there. thank you for having me.
8:54 pm

part chime in the u.s. in training endgame the battle lines have been drawn and demands made in this trade war it appears both sides are preparing for the long haul what does it mean to win a trade war what does it mean to lose and how far could this have. if the tense situation in venezuela is still all over the news the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been faithfully implement from the inside venezuela things are different we're going to announce sanctions against petro venezuela associate. famous will have a supplement to. that output and that. data to. the patent. hope of the whose story isn't new nixon told in henry kissinger to tell him that it

8:59 pm
and very well continue watching on since last. are we entering an era the end of flag money you know money with flags on it or portrait of an open tate or royal person good day. really there's there's not much happening in the global economy as a result of the u.s. trying to so-called trade war just to put things in perspective you know most things that are exported from china's the united states are exported as finished products the same holds true for most things exported from the u.s. to china so any tariffs on those products while they might affect price levels in the u.s. or in china and they might affect the level of trade between the u.s. and china they simply don't disrupt the global supply chain and so the rest of the world is hardly affected at all.
9:00 pm
