recent observation on the current turmoil in syria after russia announced it would continue to support the syrian government in its pushing to leave the last rebel held province in the country trump took to his twitter feed and announced hearing word that russia syria and to a lesser extent iran are bombing the hell out of the it leave problems in syria and indiscriminately killing many innocent civilians the world is watching this butchery what is the purpose what will it get you stop. a satellite decks it's capitalized up and while no one no one wants to see innocent people killed bombed or vaporized donald trump in the united states are hardly in any kind of position to criticize another country's bombing of civilians for the last 60 years we've been the world heavyweight champion of bombing civilians despite our best efforts to cook the books and when i say cook the books i mean who can forget that obama era drone war jam of any military age male in

a strike zone must be a combatant technique of counting civilian casualties. and it's because of that i think it's time we turn off the stove take those books out of the fryer and see just how big a glass house we are all living in as we start watching the hawks. like you that i got. to. welcome on the watching dog i robot that. there's a lot of soldiers in glass houses these days. being thrown around yeah. well i

mean that's is the idea that anybody setting they're arguing about who has the most you know who is least most efficiently i guess that is kind of the argument that's being made in that it's ridiculous at the end of the car bombings better than your a bomb you know we kill way less civilians and we drop 3000 pound bombs on people. and now you know it's bloody as well not fighting but u.s. led coalition forces announced on friday that at least 1302 civilians have been unintentionally killed by coalition strikes since the beginning of operation inherent resolve and their resolve. yeah just so they're saying the just 1300 people died who you know were enemy combatants were you know bad bad breakers and then goes one of the terms used by dry because the whole world has good people and bad people yeah we've got. the coalition but let's let bridges out of the coalition

conducted 34502 strikes between august 2014 and the end of april of 2019 so you're telling me. but in those years 34000 there are strikes we only killed 1300 people is a big number but only if you were to go yes why haven't we discussed that that's crazy. i'm sure that's a perfectly legitimate number and then c.n.n. national senior crisis response advisor donna tyler rivera actually responded to those numbers and what you said is while all admissions of responsibility by the u.s. led coalition for civilian casualties are welcome burn the coalition remains deeply in denial about the devastated scale of the civilian casualties caused by their operations in both iraq and syria so an investigation by amnesty international and air wars who as an independent watchdog group reveal that more than 600 civilians

were killed in the 2017 rocka offensive alone so when we were doing the big lie you were told when the boat was 7 going bottom and we're just going to murder of a of people and then we're totally done and terrorism is over right so when's very good that's essentially what it sounds like after 20 years but. they went in there and you're talking about 1600 civilians and for every one of those 3 for family members to see this. devastation and you know we're going to leave that that's was so funny. they claim 1300 and as you pointed out 1600 just one off and when you write when you go to people outside of the government making these numbers and counting up these can't trust the government or the military to sit there and say well when we destroyed all of this i mean obviously they're not going to say well there might have been people in those buildings there might have been people there but who no i mean this is

a you know you have people fleeing one area to another and then you have these bombing campaigns and the idea that well our american bombing campaign. and there's so much more right if i mean russian bombing when are you flying a plane and dropping explosives that kill hundreds and thousands of people and one in one shot right there we're all talking about bombing i think the argument about who's bombing was less brutal than the other is kind of ludicrous is it is ludicrous you know i mean you hit the you hit the nail right on the head because of the you know construction term has praised. because of it's totally ludicrous i mean you know war is hell we know that you never want to see civilians get killed in more you want to do everything you can to prevent that but there's nothing you can do about that civilians have been getting killed in wars since the beginning of well wars you know so this idea of like you said tab one

side is more more efficient at killing the enemy than the other side it's ridiculous no matter how much money you spend on bombs and just so people understand now that's kind of last area of the syrian civil war you know you're talking about more than 200000 people have fled there since strikes began in april according to the united nations you know it's going to be a major issue we're probably going to hear more about it over the summer but you know it's one of those things where it's like i really it breaks my heart that to this day we're still having these fights over our machines kill people who are efficiently and left civilians and others when really at the end of the day they're just cooking the books. speaking of the military industrial complex boeing and its medical 737 flying machines are back in the spotlight again hot water safety regulators busy that the federal aviation administration r.f.a. they have discovered yet another problem the much maligned 737 this time involving improperly manufactured parts apparently more than 300 of boeing 730 seven's

including 179 of the now 9 tori s.-max model need to be checked. for an issue involving the leading edge flat track which helps provide lift during takeoff and landing according to the f.a.a. busy this part may be susceptible to premature failure or cracks resulting from the improper manufacturing process level 8 while the f.a.a. did say what a complete failure of the pa that a complete failure of the part would not cause a crash it could cause aircraft damage during the flight because there's nothing better than flying the friendly skies in a damaged aircraft it'll be fine this news comes on the heels of the worldwide grounding of boeing $737.00 max planes after 2 crashes in less than 5 months due to faulty flight control systems you know with stock falling more than 17 percent since the most recent crash back in march and new questions regarding the airline giants for knowledge of the flight control issues it appears boeing could be in for

a very turbulent summer. little. boeing's seriously rear target earlier today what do you think the boeing makes as a company i mean is this event. dates in and around the world to create aircraft carriers and all the stuff here is the other thing those companies also do major consumer consumer areas that like the boeing planes these are consumer aircraft right. a huge problem with that is when something like this happens do you want your son or daughter flying in a fighter jet made by boeing when you keep hearing about you know we want to get on one for an airline it's not so great so boeing c.e.o. dennis miller barred he'd apologize to the relatives of the 346 people that were killed in the 2 crashes and so on the company is working to restore the flying

public strozzi told c.b.s. evening news that quote i do personally apologize to the families we feel terrible about these accidents we apologize for what happened. you know i saw ari i don't know that story is really you know them for is really going to cut it. it's not going to cut it at the end of the day especially. when boeing admitted earlier this month that it knew well over a year before the 1st crash last october that a warning that they didn't knew about this warning light linked to a key sensor on the 737 max wasn't working on most of the airplanes but they did not inform the f.a.a. or the airlines operating or the other airlines using that particular jet the 737 until after the 1st until after a problem happened and i think that's what it is the problem time is like everybody kind of waits until something bad happened like cut corners cut corners farm and always. was one crash want to crash is 2 of them and then it gets

worse. it doesn't quite make sense to me and i think one of the things that's it's going to be a really i don't have to be a bad year for companies that are in air travel and i think you've got the international air transportation association the global a global trade group they represent about 290 airlines. forecast about how the industry is on track to have its worst year since 24 seen a few years you have to have high speed rail now you have right i mean and that's where those things that get all blends i mean we have a. bit airline industry has been like cramming us into smaller and smaller seats and they're making us pay more making us pay more of those they're just bleeding money stealing money out of the consumer who uses their products but man at the end of the day now it's like i don't want to get on

a plane if i know that you guys like had one faulty thing wrong with that but now $23.00 legged more comes out when you have time to suddenly inspect the plane. i mean anybody who travels a lot especially internationally there are these very large usually 2 level airplanes are very large very wide bearable and you know it takes a lot to keep them up in the air and i think there are the is. i think that companies like boeing that also make a huge amount of money off war and off of a military equipment i think that they get to sort of rest on their laurels a lot when it comes to safety and that because i man how many times i but you know we've had problems with planes boeing planes military equipment and the past as well. if you're going to be making things that can fall in the sky it's got to be a high quality. leverage. because we've got a great dog watchers don't forget to let us know what the pick of the coverage of facebook you tube and twitter your poll shows at our team dot com coming up

a major u.s. city is trying to find a new way to provide healthy food for a citizens thanks to some good albums the whales are now back in new york so stay to watch the whole. china is not a partner number one for us yet. and e.u. countries our trade partners number one with this and. i cannot share the. news for those who say that it's a turn of russia he scored no russia i hope will never turn eastwards you know russian egoless is looking to move the sides west towards

a nice towards. me notice on march. garbage building up everywhere history you're not paranoid it's actually happening. what is. calling the queen is magic internet the new type of digital currency decentralized digital scarcity chancellor i'm bringing a 2nd bailout for bankers called the genesis blog for reason they're calling it civil disobedience a source of optimism because i can control my own financial destiny it's just a new way of coming to consensus it's a game changer in the human history and this is columbus discovering the new world this terror and i'm shifting technology that transforms economics and finance in a heartbeat apollo 11 landing on to the snacks of stacy.

food deserts are areas in urban and even rural communities in which people don't have reliable access to affordable healthy food options such as fresh fruits and vegetables and according to the united states department of agriculture economic research service well over 23000000 americans live in a food desert which isn't surprising since zip codes with low incomes tend to have more fast food and convenience stores than middle income zip codes it is this discrepancy that led the atlanta mayor keisha lance bottoms to set a goal of bringing healthy food within a half mile of 85 percent of atlanta residents by $22021.00 of the ways to do this is out of plants and trees which is why atlanta received a grant from the community forest an open space program to establish the city's 1st

and nation's largest urban food forest to be named the urban food forest the browns mill on a $7.00 acre site the food forest will be one of more than 70 public food forests across the united states it will include not in fruit trees herbs fruits and vegetables and even areas to grow mushrooms however the. for some projects like them are more than experiments in nutrition they offer hope for a future in which food is democratise for all joining us now from atlanta is tasered troutman community organizer and urban development researcher and even dickerson atlanta area community organizer joining us today to help us understand this thank you so much ladies for joining us. today thank you for having us so i want to start and you know as of 201736 percent this is devastating here 36 percent of atlanta was classified as a food desert making it just one of many across the united states in fact in 2006

the u.s.d.a. had located 6500 food desert tracks across the united states i want to start by asking how these how these food forests benefit communities beyond the idea of just free healthy food. well i want to start by moving away from the language of food deserts in the alternative movement we acknowledge that food doesn't doesn't necessarily capture the ways that black and brown and working class communities have been intentionally underdeveloped to the point where they can access culturally competent and healthy nutritious foods lately myself tasia and other organizers in the food movement have moved closer to language like food apartheid food war to describe the ways a lot of what's happening a lot of the reasons people can't access the foods that they need or the food from their cultures is because of under development. and then to actually seeing the benefits they offer the community besides just being

a location for fresh healthy food they obviously benefit the local environment which is really important for low income communities of color because we know as a part of this food apartheid issue it's also environmental injustice issues right that happen in these communities so anytime you have a more productive green space it offers opportunities for. access to cleaner air you know better joining age fewer flooding incidents things of that nature so environment and food are like the 2 biggest parts of the benefits of a food forest i think what's interesting and part of the issues that sort of leads to these these food apartheid state that don't have what they need it comes out of development part of it seems to be the way cities were laid out decades ago or where development has been allowed to flourish things like gentrification what changes do you think need to be made to the idea of say urban or city planning

to avoid this in future generations what do we is it one of these things where we need to know that having more of these green spaces is fundamental to a city's development. i think when you talk all the way like to the bottom of the issue of like city regional planning. we have to get away from development that's rooted in capitalism and like profit driven community development and urban development so why are you looking at a space like a food for if it offers benefits for the human in the environment we know sustainability has 3 e's right so equity which is the humanities environment and economic development and profit so cities soon to key in on economic implications like tied to such things that are a necessity for people in the environment therefore rendering those spaces in those things and amenity so other food forces going to be awesome for the currently existing community and the people who have lived in the community for years and have suffered issues related to food apartheid and environmental injustice we have

to also realize that the food for us is in an area that is rapidly gentrifying it is one of the last kind of affordable places in atlanta but it's rapidly turning over it's sitting between a number of major investment spaces on the south side including the new turnover of turner field including the project arrow travel. development and some of the things that are also happening in the surrounding former turner field communities kind of like the pittsburgh at their heights community so you have mechanics so looking at the way that the food for us is tied into these larger scale development projects is very evident that it could be rendered something that helps push out the existing community as a part of his interpretation regime and that's all rooted in city and urban planning being based on profit and capitalism and i wanted just to really focus in on the way that has connected trendy popular or kind of exciting

ideas that focus around food and connecting it with development because as people who work in organizing the city of atlanta if you truly want to invest in the longevity of this city's ability to feed its people i'm not sure that a food force within the 1st place i would have when it's exciting it's great for the environment but there was talks a few years back even very recently that's illegal for people to have small scale farms in their backyard where it's illegal for people to catch rain water for drinking water in their backyards it's very difficult for people to get off of the georgia power grid and rely on solar power so going back to what he just said about the root of these issues when you connected to the development that's happening in the city that's driven by private capital it kind of makes you question whether or not this was done as a solution to a food crisis or to make elana again another city popping up on news headlines and things like that without that's a bit of a good that's

a fascinating observation that you know it's into let me just ask you would you mention you know what would you do before a food you know for you know before this kind of idea of putting this in what would you do what are the other alternatives not saying that the forest idea is a bad idea but what are some of the other alternatives that people could could be using or the cities could be allowing their citizens. to use in order to get proper healthy food. i think the amazing thing about a problem as wide scale as food apartheid is the fact that solutions are also large scale so t.j. and i have both at different times lived busy in atlanta is west and historic neighborhood which despite being classified as a food desert is the most dense part of the city with urban gardens urban gardens do so much more than provide food for our communities but there also is space for cultural development engagement voter engagement our neighborhood also supports a thriving farmer's market actually several driving farmers market driving farmers

markets also our spaces for community development outside of jets ok how do we feed people how do we feed people's hearts how we feel people's minds how do we feed people's communities. you know another part of that is you think about connectivity being the issue when people are separated from a healthy food system because the food system is not just the food is not just the people it's how are we moving people to food it within the system how are we making that sustainable and so poetry of the obviously is like the number one thing on my list when we talk about connecting people to fresh out of the food system when you break the space in the system of alienation which is often rooted in racial lies injustice and class base injustice. if you could get people connected to affordable or in my opinion public transit should be free save affordable clean

healthy public transit options to the point where they don't have to completely rely on a food source to be walking distance or biking distance but you know you have a bus or a train system that or that is able to take you where you need to go and get you there fishley i think that's also a very important piece to the equation and atlanta while they are making some moves to. in our local transit system marta it is it's definitely slow moving as the needs against the way the need presents and i also want to point out i was going to ask a little bit about i'm glad you brought up public transportation because one of the things i've noticed is that in the vein of like capitalist answers to problems that capitalism actually created is you know you see lift and ride share groups in internet around atlanta and other places like this saying oh we'll give you a deal on a ride to the grocery store and that's 10 miles away and and farmers markets and

grocery stores and while those you know a discounted ride on your lifted grade it's still not really bringing that public transportation source do you think we need a pub and ask you guys will quickly have a couple of minutes left it's about a minute and a half left what do you think people work watching at home what can we do to better bring and require that we get better or better food options and better food situation in our own communities what can we do and what do you suggest people at home do. i think people at home should work collaboratively right. the way that our western community through hours and our food system our unique food system thrive in our neighborhood is that you had everyone from residents to growers to buyers the people who live in the neighborhood the people who work in the neighborhood have frequent the neighborhood standing arm in arm and really sitting together at a table and planning and working together someone's growing something someone else is making something higher they working together to make sure both people could

access and get a reasonable price and then happen from those collaboration how are they working with the city or funders or the people with money in financial capital to make those resources sustainable inaccessible it's like a communal effort in something like live offering rises cool but we think about a from a. neo liberal cities kind of live in that makes it more they're makes access an individual thing whereas something like public transit or something like collective planning where it's something like community led collective planning makes it more accessible. option for the masses and i absolutely agree i don't we add that the question you asked to me sounds like how do we heal the food system and when it comes to healing the food system we really need to ask ourselves what is the intention of our food system because today it's clearly not to feed people nutritional accessible culturally competent food right now but intention of our

food system is to make as much money as fast as possible so i think if we really get down to the root of what it would take to heal food systems for individual communities and not on these large scale big national plans and really start talking to the people who are actually doing that one goal which is feeding people will start healing with them that's great i got it i got to say thank you guys so much for joining us taser troutman community organizer urban researcher urban development researcher eva dickerson thank you so much ed lavandera thank you want to. hear. about is our show for you today remember everyone in this world we are not told that we love them enough so i tell you all of you i am tired over and taffeta while they keep on watching all those hawks out there and have a great thing about everybody.
