greetings and salutations the meet to movement continues to awaken the american consciousness to provide a service you sexual misconduct though we've seen entertainment heavyweights and wealthy elite like harvey weinstein and jeffrey epstein flashed across our screens at the personification of all things evil they're far from alone justice is often invasive for victims of sexual abuse and there isn't a place this is more true in the u.s. military the murder of a young soldier vanessa game but a nationwide spotlight on sexual harassment in the military in the military a recently released u.s. army investigation shows that god was indeed sexually harassed by her own supervisor the report said leaders of the nested years unit at fort hood texas did not take appropriate action after she stepped forward to report 2 incidents of harassment as the investigation into the murder of a message he had wrapped it bipartisan coalition pressured the department of defense to move prosecution of sex crimes out of their chain of command center

kristen gillibrand released a bill last week addressing military sexual assault the bill has 46 co-sponsors 10 of them are republicans don christensen president of protect our defenders and former chief prosecutor of the air force said for years senior military leaders have acknowledged that sexual assault and harassment are cancer ripping at the fabric of the force the passage of this critical legislation will increase our military's readiness and ability to bring the fight to the enemy and will finally provide a real opportunity for justice for survivors this past weekend also marks the 10th anniversary of operation. what commonly known as the raid that killed osama bin laden a seminal moment for the obama presidency. while america commemorates the end of one terrorists women in the military remain vigilant but the terror of sexual abuse they are victims of will come to a close as well it's time we start watching the hawks. she was. in

the city the streets. are so let's see this is your only state to see the sights raised see this sleaze systemic deception leaks show which. some don't. welcome everybody to watching the hawks i will be sure crossed tyro still on vacation joining me now is conservative commentator and the hill contributor rory reilly topping. jaimie show how are you pretty good pretty good congratulations on the new baby ranking all of these 7 months he's not that new anymore. oh a coded has thrown off my calendar but i know that there is a little one in your movie. yes so really the knesset parents have always held steady that their daughter told them of the sexual harassment prior to her murder a newly released report backs up those claims why was nothing done windy and

reported her sexual harassment and how prevalent is this in the military. well with regards to your 1st question as to why something wasn't done the issue is really cultural and we see all the time in the military it's very hierarchical and it's dominated by in the cheese mill culture and reporting any type of harassment is viewed as a weakness and i think it's important to know on the flip side of this when we talk about v.a. benefits there's actually a special regulation that looks at p.t.s.d. and other disorders that may stem from sexual assault has a lower threshold in terms of proving evidence because the sickly so many people don't report what's going on and i think we see oftentimes when people report things that are retaliated against and that impacts their mental health and then because nothing is done that they may not speak up against future assaults which that's something that's unique in this case with the mess again as she spoke up not once but twice and still nothing was done and again that gets back to just this

cultural issue that we have with the military and with regard to your 2nd question as to how prevalent this is you know all of the female service members that i speak with have stories about this i think it's a lot more prevalent and as you noted in your introduction we've seen it's not just prevalent in military an issue that society at large is grappling with and one by one we've seen certain industries kind of come to terms with that and military is still trying to come to terms with that to talk about the legislation that senator joe brand is introducing she's introduced legislation almost every congress to address this and deal with this basically her whole tenure in the senate and it doesn't always go anywhere because people in the military who are high ranking and doing need testifying in interaction with congress are saying that he would be very detrimental to take this outside of the chain of command but i think we're seeing over and over again that because this is such an issue in the military has not done a good job of addressing it on its own that we do need to start looking at some alternative solutions like the bill that you discussed. and rory 21 soldiers were

reprimanded in the case at fort hood but fort hood is no stranger to sexual abuse reports sex ring sex trafficking you name it when a base has a history like that one how can you restore trust or faith. well i think it's very hard because again cultural issues are just they run so deep and fort hood in particular just has a very challenging culture with regard to sexual assault sexual harassment all of these things and disciplining those $21.00 soldiers is a good start it sends a message that that whole aerated however we think about it took over a year for them to be disciplines that action wasn't taken right away she wasn't believed right away it literally took her desk for people to start taking this seriously and so it makes thing to ask ourselves how many more women have to go through what the next again went through before people start to take this more

seriously so even though discipline is a step in the right direction i don't think it is enough at this point i think they've had a change in leadership in command now that's something that we see in the military regularly people often go to new bases. every few years so that tells me that it's a greater issue with the overall culture in the military and it's not just unique to fort hood so really we can focus on fort hood but we have to have a conversation about military culture at large and across the country particularly because soldiers and officers are all moving across from those the base frequently and like that you continue to bring up culture because it seems like this is a pervasive problem and the military for its part at least because of the advocates and everybody on the frontlines right now who is speaking out post that in if a good situation are now being heard calls to move military sexual assault cases out of the chain of command have been going on for years but as a result of the game case they've gained

a lot more steam and bipartisan support what would it mean for sexual assault victims to have an independent commission review their cases instead of rank and file military leadership. well really it would hopefully mean that justice was the service that's the goal and i think it is interesting to know we think about the military we think about the uniform coat military code of justice you see m.j. and the z m j legislative history it came about in 1950 because after world war 2 the service different branches of service had their own justice systems and they were all run internally and there was a little bit of a repeat of what you're talking about here in that oftentimes victims were heard and there was allegations of favoritism things of that nature but i think if we really look to the you see m.j. legislative history that is something that says in favor of having an independent panel investigate situations like this because again the chain of command in the military has a incentive to protect itself and we see in terms of protecting itself they aren't

necessarily protecting the victims which is what they should be doing and this past weekend marks the 10th anniversary of operation neptune spear the raid that led to osama bin laden's murder what legacy does that operation hold for the u.s. . well i think legacies decided by history not necessarily people in real time so i think it's a little bit too premature to answer that question however i think that the fact that the biden ministration has been talking about the fact that it's time to withdraw our 2 troops from afghanistan is part of that legacy again it's been 10 years since some of the laden was killed and it's really raised the question for a lot of people what are we still doing in afghanistan it was an effort to retaliate against his role in the $911.00 attacks and after he was taken out arguably al qaida was listening is acutely weekend and they didn't have to they didn't pose the same threat that they did when we went into afghanistan 10 years

prior to that so it's really incredible when you think about it it's been almost 20 years since the attacks of real love and 10 years since we pulled the raid on bin laden and yet our troops are still there i think a lot of people have a lot of questions about why we're still there and getting answers to those questions will ultimately impact the legacy and worry it's been talked about across multiple circles particularly as it relates to the point you just made the the positioning of the biden ministration in removing troops from afghanistan at what point do you think the argument that this could destabilize the region that this could actually cause an expansion of al qaeda or other types of you know militant actors to come forward where do you think that lies in the ether in terms of the conversation because like you said we have so many americans who have grown weary of this ongoing occupation where do we go from here. well i think that you raise an important point and stability of the region is certainly

a part of that conversation however i think stability ultimately has to come from within and so even though the united states can play a role if the afghanistan government wants them to do so i don't think it is necessarily their sole responsibility to factor in that stabilization and i think that the counterargument is some people would argue that having our troops there in the 1st place has caused further destabilization of that region so i think that argument cuts both ways the administration is rightfully discussing it and talking about it rather than just you know pulling the plug overnight this is a drawdown that's taking place over several months and i think it's important to remember too that was a decision that originated with the child's administration and company and biden don't agree on practically anything but the fact that they both agree that time for our troops to get out of afghanistan i think that sends something and if the civilization was a serious concern i don't think we'd see 2 diametrically opposed ministrations who

both came to the same conclusion that withdrawal was the right thing to do great points and always excited to have you looking forward to having you again roy reilly topping thanks for joining us. thanks so much for having me. plastic continues to pollute the world's oceans while threatening marine life but researchers out of china are pointing to a possible solution using bacteria a combination of organisms can reportedly break down some of the this plastic r.t. correspondent natasha speak as more. plastic is plaguing oceans around the globe right now environmentalists say there are more than 5 trillion pieces of plastic debris in the ocean it also in danger is marine life with more than 100000 creatures dying from plastic entanglement each year on top of that the elastic material kills off more than $1000000.00 sea birds annually but chinese scientists are pointing to 3 types of marine bacteria that can actually breakdown polyphème one of the most widespread plastics researchers from the

institute of ocean ology were able to pinpoint a direct link of using this blend of organisms to disintegrate polyphème in the study published in the journal of hazardous materials revealed the bacteria combination was able to break down the plastics used to make bottles as well as bags after conducting several tests researchers said the 3 types of bacteria together caused heavy damage to the plastic making heavy cracks and deep holes well scientists have already discovered $430.00 types of bacteria that can break down various types of plastics researchers say there hasn't been a single enzyme to do this alone and the combination of these 3 is the closest they've come so far according to researchers behind the study about $5000000.00 tons of plastic are dumped into the oceans each year now other researchers not connected to the study are questioning exactly how these findings will be used as a club to plastic from the oceans is rather costly and putting the bacteria into the water could bring about other risks reporting for watching the hoxton toss just wait archie. as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks

on demand with a brand new portable t.v. app available on all platforms coming up. stating to watching the hawks. was a pandemic no certainly no borders and just flying to nationalities. the summary be we don't look like seeing the whole world to. judge a. commentary crisis like this. you better

we should. everyone is contributing each of our own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges create the response has been masked so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. so what males have tended to do and still do is we tend to we certainly have empathy and all of that but we also tend to nurture through aggression so we create things like soccer and football and you know all of the various hundreds of games that involve aggression now with an earth resident to play those games no doubt very well but when you go back to why they were created those were created for males to nurture other males to aggression to teach them how it should be fixed

through aggression. defund the police a term that is not only polarizing and controversial but a rallying cry for reform and justice for community sick and tired of being sick and tired of the black community is statistically over policed black americans are over incarcerated and blacks experience excessive force at the hands of police officers at disproportionate rates the murder of george floyd highlighted the sad truth but how many hashtags and videos are needed for police reforms to happen the city of st louis is taking matters into their own hands and moving toward dissolving nearly 100 police officer positions and cutting millions from the police

department budget it's a popular move among progressives advocates and blackflies matter activist even outspoken congresswoman corey bush called the decision the stork but not everyone is on board st louis is one of the most violent cities per capita in the world but for advocates and supporters of the proposal excess of policing isn't what's needed reallocation of funds is. those funds could be used for mental health services addiction supports skills based training for employment housing and other needs. the board of estimate and apportionment voted $2.00 to $1.00 in favor of the cuts with a new mayor to shar jones supporting the measure the $1000000000.00 plan now moves to alderman for hearings and amendments before going into full effect on july 1st and the torch boy protests didn't only shake up police reform efforts they also proved to be a catalyst for historically black college and university donors to pass the bay

north carolina a and t. the country's largest h b c u has raised a whopping $88000000.00 since last summer that's in the early 6 times what it raises according to n.p.r. and the story doesn't stop there this is a historic year for public h.b.c. use the president of the thurgood marshall college fund acknowledges that donations pick up last year in the wake of the george boyd murder saying we've never seen anything like this for h b c u's. editor at large for salon dot com in front of the show the watkins joins us now dee good to see you again. i've been growing pretty good pretty good deep on the police it was decried by some democrats as the reason why they lost seats in the house for president trying to use the phrase to rally work republicans with fear mongering commercials about gangs rape if alien you oppose you name it if there are any officers it's going to happen to you do you think st louis is reframing the de from the police movement by actually putting it in motion

or is there another way to do it your hometown baltimore recently stop prosecuting low level nonviolent offenses drug possession and prostitution what do you make of all of this. no at the end of the day. all thinking people thinking people a lot of politicians don't think all thinking people clearly clearly clay to clearly understand that what we have been doing has not been working we are not rehabilitating shit in a sense we are not creating opportunity we are not solving violent crimes we are creating situations where we don't unnecessarily discuss them out of fun into the police department new equipment new cars new bikes new guns new warrants in more people and we lock up people we send them to a system where they don't get what they need. to be able to come home and function

. and they're a product of that system because the people who raised him had to go through the same system so thank him people can see that what we have been doing has not been working plus st louis i think it's a beautiful thing i hope the counseling goes those vacancies i hope they use that money to be able to. hire people to go into the communities and real relationships to be a barrier between the people and law enforcement i think we are a long long over 100 years away from a policy but i do think we can accomplish something by. disarming large portions of them not send the police officers with guns out to handle domestics and things like that like i think there's so much we can do with training and reallocating the funds to do things that inspire and educate and ignite and it

could be better so i'm. i'm all for progress and to shar jones she's a newly elected progressive mayor in st louis her election was historic in and of itself what does her vote to support defunding the police need for her future and do you predict blowback considering the current rate of violence in st louis. you know this does no data there's no available data from from from a lot of major metropolitan city that. is pouring huge extra amount of money into policing stops crime you know it just doesn't so you know it in a day if people get mad at her for that they're just getting mad at her because she took a stand against the way everybody is programmed to think she's done something else out of the box and it's dangerous is dangerous when you have you know great radical brand new ideas but you know what i guess what else is a radical idea freeing the slaves something that people say could never happen and

you know mcinnes now on t.v. talking about this. and it looks like in many cases what we do need is some type of radical change so for a shard to on her you know 1st leg out get there and decide this is something that she wants support that speaks volumes for her or her leadership and what a progressive actually looks like in this office the ajmi the use they're bringing in a lot of money following last year's black lives matter activism in the streets and the georgia boy protests how will they spend it and why do you think they were a go to for donors. you know some of these things you know they may shock me i think a whole lot of people are just starting to realize the power. the historical power when h.b.c. used. some of the leaders that the state you know. vice president was our right so you know i think people think the protests i think a lot of them a lot of them are cheating and just the whole social climate right now raise the

consciousness of a whole lot of people people who normally think too much about h.b.c. use. these institutions creating some of the most brilliant thinkers that we've ever had people who are doing amazing things in the world and constantly striving and fighting to make a difference people. to a culture that is that is american not mainstream standard american colleges but it is an american experience and it's value and i think anyone who cares about this country cares about the many different cultures the brakes and the how would you like anybody because a point that i agree with how would you like to see the agency use use the money because i recently saw a report from the brookings institute about the state of black men economically across the country and a lot of it was related to the lack of job availability access skills but also huge education differences education level differences between black women who are the

most educated demographic of all in america right now and black men who are still having we've seen you know lower levels of college graduation rates and there are some issues that are associated with that so in terms of getting this money to h b c u's and recognizing the fact that we still have mary low a comparison black men who are graduating from college in general do you think that some of that money is going to be utilized towards making sure that black men get to the finish line but also college preparedness or workforce preparedness in these communities because that's still a major issue. i would love the c.h.p. she used have better connections with community. you know i used to teach at h.b.c. and i was an adjunct professor and there were no. professors there were no tenured black professors we had one black woman and then there were other than that there were no black professors in the whole english department so you

know students come into the school to learn and want to see themselves represented want to staff did not get that you know so i you know one i would love to see a school there that blacktown that there's a lot of us out they don't want to teach who are good at it will have the skills to be able to get the job done not just in the classroom but in the publishing world and i was told i could see the schools use that money to just build connections why schools you know we need more h.b.c. you graduated h.b.c. you fast h.b.c. you administrator is visiting schools and talking to students and explaining to them that you know a college degree is everything you can change that you can go on to do beautiful bank and i've done it and i'm here to show you how to do it and we're going to grandfather you we can do that with the money create that pipeline from high school think he's college there you know we'll see more black men and we'll black women. you know being able to graduate and be educated and share that knowledge and he

really quickly we know that things are things are moving for but they're moving forward it kind of a snail pace what are some of the things that you would say argue that it isn't right now to do for the black community coming off of what we just saw with their chairman trial. you know right now and it is you know the best thing that we can do. in our community the community try out there to create opportunity . and i've been trying to do that we did man you know if you are a black person with some standing to accomplish some things going to complain that thing we can do right now is put them back in because when you come from or even to a community and even to be there you're probably going to get up out of there you know pete one barracks owner was on trial people can say in america was on trial a number of people no no no no no america is not on trial only during and we see with black people. and the young woman in ohio. who was with school with

the young man who was only 10 miles away from when it's open trial one of these gang don't change we're going to have their and i'm definitely going to bring you back i think that your fire and your passion is shown completely and thank you so much for your advocacy of the walk and thanks for joining the show. and that is our show for you today and remember everyone in this world were not told where loved enough so i tell you i love you i'm going to keep on watching the hawks have a great day and night it. should we interpret the recent f.b.i. raid on the home of former trump lawyer rudy giuliani a legitimate investigation into wrongdoing or a strong and very public warning his former circle and supporters the real target

can the average citizen trust the f.b.i. . the flames because that's the disguise that you think at least most wasn't moved within the post because it wasn't it was no. good looking ones were there with a bunch of variants and. that's the most i will say whether one of the 4. sure i knew because i had some suggesting of course he's going to end the stuff more than they stage. my shoes.

facebook's oversight board up holds the network spot on donald trump at least for now though critics question the rulings impacts on free speech. debates rages in france as it marks the death of a man accused of genocide out his wars cost millions of lives we look at whether $2.00 centuries on the podium merits today's fanfare and celebration. for me is still a hero he did a lot for the evolution of fronts but it cost a lot of freedom and of sacrifice it to human level to have fun to see his big mistake maybe to have reestablished slavery. new york's governor such as a rule no was just thing on a backside people should avoid their grandparents.
