in this quite serious diplomatic style of the most serious in many many years before according to them officials have come up with a consensus on what has really got all this was russian foreign minister earlier. that i'm sure you can see the sense of shame with which this tour of the explosions that took place 7 years ago has now been disentangled public and no one has yet been able to explain what the investigating authorities have been doing all these years confused in their testimony. more and more new versions they should 1st sort it all before expelling diplomats accusing them of something that hasn't even been established in their own investigation and judging by the way they're going about it it's unlikely and with any concrete result regardless of what happens next if any new evidence emerges that at least from the czech side vindicates russia the diplomatic damage is done you can't go back in time and the ramifications go beyond just prague and moscow remember other states in the e.u.
10:31 am
the baltic states bulgaria romania also initiated diplomatic expulsions based on this wave with moscow responding in kind as is normal in these cases so it's unlikely we're going to hear the last of the story 7 years on it's still having an impact despite seemingly quite confused remarks from top czech officials ok thanks dan there was a down hawkins there with the update. just on half past 5 the afternoon moscow watching i think it was good to have you company more from us at the top of. i was sitting one day with my friend in her living room and we had

10:34 am
to me in. life and then. beat. me on it and this. is a. legend about people that grow up in brooklyn that we're very strong stuff very straight forward. and we're people that have resources my resource as always been my family. as i grew up i went through all that the ratio discriminatory situations that the world knows of today that happen in america. i have lurked. busy millie a share in
10:35 am
a bean that made. the civil war free the slaves. was my civil war. the 1st place i ever felt whole as i'm a. it's the 1st place in my life that i ever met a mayor. of my opposite color. that the strew to heart and soul about the i guess me. his name was richard. he's gone and been gone since he was 19 his oath was a machine gun. he is that boy from aachen soul
10:36 am
who taught me of quite black love. men and becomes family with men. with will. come read and shit we call it. during. my trial of war years ship. my wife was 17 years old and pregnant with my 2nd pregnancy. she gave birth. insane organs unable hospital. with i kept back to the united states of america i had no knowledge of how to handle any of this type of
10:37 am
a base. so when it was exposed to me that it was twins i didn't even question where of the one was when they only showed me one. now that's a pivotal point. because she's never spoken to me about it. that's because in maturity. i joke with the situation. everyone in the world no no we was the very different. who should have to go there . i think he always wanted to have some kind of relation with kim he didn't want to
10:38 am
lose it but he couldn't control himself. he had a he had the devil in him when he was born i guess. and it was hard to fight it. and kim always wanted closure she always wanted she always said to me from i guess 16 all the way until she is now that she said i know i know deep down is that i'll always talk to have always be able to tell him my piece of this story. then one day we get a phone call and it's a new york times are calling us up and this moment nina bernstein and nina said to me do you know you're related to bruce hanson i said yeah that's my ex-husband and she simple i have to tell you something. it was really shocking to me to discover that new york state law
10:39 am
a law dating back to the 1903. required the city to offer the bodies of unclaimed dead to medical schools for deception. i learned that there were 22 cadavers. that were in cold storage at albert einstein medical school. you know basically the these could ours are just let. to the medical schools they are supposed to then be returned to the city for what the city considers proper burial which is a hard island trench and. i tried very hard to learn the names of these cadavers because i wanted to reclaim their stories.
10:40 am
one of the last of the 22 that day was bruce henson. even though his body had been in cold storage for 3 years it had been on lists sent back and forth between the medical school and the medical examiners office the medical examiners office had not done the 1st thing in terms of trying to find someone who knew bruce hanson and would care and it was easy. their job is to be the last and most important source of information about this person. they had his name they had his name when he 1st arrived to the morgue they had his
10:41 am
name when they put him on a list to offer as a cadaver for just section of medical school. when i had the name and i did the 1st basic search it came up immediately his ex-wife in new jersey. one phone call and i had her one phone call and i was just she was carrying the phone to her daughter. nobody called us i never changed my last name it's still he and i live in the same stay. his new jersey nina had no problem calling me up to find out. he's shouldn't it ended up in there they should allow the. in for 3 years being in albert einstein hospital just. you know going through their medical
10:42 am
procedures for 3 years put him in a cold box pull him out cut them up put in it's awful. it's awful. how it happened and i'm angry with. the medical examiner the hospital the people you know that still won't give me information on him you know it's my father i should have a right to know how he died i'm never going to find out. the medical examiner's office calling to find out what you know. the hospital not giving giving you a hard time by getting the records everybody is hiding something. so the hospital's working them with the medical examiner which is working with hearts island you know they obviously don't want people to know most of the mistakes that
10:43 am
they made or things that they just don't care about. and think about all those bums on the street. meeting they contacted every single person's family. they throw them probably in the islands. it's seemed wrong but old rules just don't call. me the world is yet to shape our disdain comes to educate and in detroit it was
10:44 am
10:45 am
and kitchens i want to bring in today talk a little bit about where we are with the case in the position of the arguments the city is making in the fight them having with the city just continues and i told them what you and i have talked about before like if you tell us where the b.b. is don't drop the lawsuit today that's what this is all about that we're trying to find out they don't believe us if it's about money it's not about a search for the truth. one of the issues for the city or katrina is if you stab was here but they don't know there are other cases like yours that are out there pending and they don't want to make bad law they don't want to make their precedent so the further make a cautious back and slow us down the latter these things bad things will happen to the city so they're part of their delay is to not let this case come to trial because there are other cases that are going to follow shortly board. and if that thing really ain't doing much because all they think it is about the money and
10:46 am
honestly like has said. a lot behind this for money i want my son back that's a. what we know right now from from the record so we have is that at the autopsy was performed the body at some point was at the morgue. we do have some indication on one of the records at the body was released for transport at this point we don't know if it was transport to some type of medical facility for research we don't know where that baby was released to we know where the baby supposed to be released to now start island. any case that i'm involved with the city of new york is always going to take me years. getting records of the city new york requires motion after motion after motion for a judge to compel them to respond more concerned to security issues and welfare
10:47 am
issues and housing issues and all the things that make the city a unique in crazy place. it's almost like. no matter how much will. never happen i can never guarantee you that i'm going to give you an answer that question and i know that's the most important thing to see and that's been the focus of my case it's always been about getting those answers. i need answers. she joined the union. they came for one cry. to be free equal in this. area.
10:48 am
and i feel very emotional about it because. not only are the soldiers interred here . but so is my daughter. i named her i a ship. her and i was selves with many questions. about our daughter. so we hope to bring closure to our family and to bring on a love and respect to a so. that we haven't had the opportunity. on a properly for almost 50 years to this day.
10:49 am
to not to have touched the earth. that she's buried in it behooves me to go over there to lay the 1st wreath at her grave site. and pay my respects to my daughter who is buried on august and i just feel of the city of new york. then i can contain. apply. to brain ana. respect. and some type of fitting memorial statue. over our end. for these soldiers of the civil war.
10:50 am
to have a city this modern this cosmopolitan that still buries the unclaimed dead the way jacob reese recorded in the 19th century. it just doesn't make sense. it's archaic it's bizarre and yet it also represents a truth about america about the western world perhaps. that this tremendous inequality not only still exists but has has widened. new york still house to draw it's still a name to conjure with it still sounds
10:51 am
a musical note to people in some distant part of the war. new york is distinct york has always gone its own way. new york has its own bitter humor. its own kind of culture its own kind of literacy. new york is not sentimental because the city those not care the city is not there about you. that is one of the attractions of new york city forces and this monster you have to fight. you have to actually rust. with the city in order to just get the very basic necessities of the life.
10:52 am
and so the idea of the city having something on its conscience this is rather small block frankly. i mean. with all honor to the dead they are dead. i think that the city has always wanted to forget about island city has wanted to forget about the people who are buried there it's wanted to forget about the fact that there is a potter's field that there is a place where difficult stories are hidden. new york city is celebrated as the place where anyone can achieve their dreams of
10:53 am
but those dreams have them in and cheered by everyone. it's true of people toiling away dating out the titles for subways or building our skyscrapers. it's true of people of wound up homeless or because a society shunned them as happened during the aids epidemic. those stories might not be flattering to tell even more might tell us things about our present that we run at face. we owe it to the people who have been buried there and are being buried there to bring their stories to light. so my bill to move the jurisdiction of heart i'm in a i believe that we're at
10:54 am
10:58 am
10:59 am
new gold rush is underway and gonna thousands of ill equipped workers are flocking to the gold fields hoping to strike it rich. as. those that work children are torn between gold. my family was very poor thought i was doing my best to get back to school which side will have the strongest appeal. oh look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. i robot must obey the orders given by human beings except when it conflicts with the 1st law. we should be very careful about official intelligence the point is to create trusts. like various shots and with artificial intelligence responding to.
11:00 am
the robot must protect its own existence as. gaza residents are hit by power blackouts and cynthia water shortages israel's deadly air strikes and infrastructure in ruins when israel launches its worst song suicide far response to palestinian rockets while the international calls for a cease fire say the mass bears responsibility for the tragic escalation. i want to say is a for them a commander in the i.d.f. to the citizens of gaza we love you we want you to leave. you need to know. how must leadership making all the problems. and.
