8:31 am
many peruvians to call for early elections, both the congress on the presidential office. though we spoke to political unless didier ortiz, who says that perused future should be in the hands of the people and not the politicians. there's been ever decreasing confidence in all the institutions imperial, including not only government, but media as well as civil society. so in my opinion, at this moment, the destiny is more than ever before in the hands of the organized masses of workers, of peasants, of indigenous rights, defenders and ultimately, bedroom battles, to hot, cold peace in the rural countryside. i think that there is no quick at this moment, president fios presidency and his mistakes and his married are all the symptom of what we have been through and peruvian political life, which is instability, thievery, and ultimately
8:32 am
a lot of egoism and individual isms which keep any political project from being coherent, let alone successful me back again. so are breaking news now. russia in the u. s. have carried out a high profile prisoner swap, which has been confirmed by the russian foreign ministry versus business men. victor boots, who was convicted on arms, dealing charges in the u. s. has been handed over to moscow. and that's an exchange for american basketball star. brittany greiner, who was sentenced to 9 years in a russian prison for drug trafficking. moscow had been pushing for boots released for years, but washington had declined to consider the move until now. and we'll bring you more details just a bit later in the program. oh, in an effort to get the homeless people off new york street, the cities may is to allow the police to remove temporarily to the thing those they consider to be mentally ill. kellum often takes us to the streets of manhattan to explore the new policies more worrying implications. since taking office new york

city, mayor erick adams has been clearing out the homeless encampments that have sprung up across the city. on average, 14 encampments are torn down by authorities each day with a total of roughly $3200.00 being torn down since march. but the encampments keep springing up. so now new york city is mayor has rolled out a very controversial new policy to break up homeless and camp sites. the mayor has given the green light to involuntary hospitalization of people deemed to be mentally ill. people can now be taken off the street and put into mental health facilities against their will, usually for the police to arrest somebody. they have to be committing a crime or opposing a threat to others or to themselves. but under this new measure, which is specifically aimed at homeless people, the police can detain someone if they show signs simply of being mentally ill, such as being unable to provide for their own basic needs. the civil liberties
8:34 am
implications here are enormous. if someone is not breaking the law and they're not threatening anyone, how can the police then detain them? whatever happens to habeas corpus? at this point, people are starting to invoke memories of psychiatric facilities being used as the breath dissident, then, don't algerian states of the path new yorkers can also recall times when interactions with law enforcement have gotten quite ugly. the death of eric garner started out as a dispute over whether or not the police should be taking him away. and we can see how that ended up, many or wondering if this new measure from the mayor's office is just a string of new black lives matter incident, waiting to happen. and some people look at the rising crime here in the big apple as well as the rising number of homeless encampments and wonder if taking these folks off the street might actually be doing them a favor. halo bobbin r t new york to gauze in our group of palestinian amputees have put the disability behind them to form

8:36 am
aliana that i've got. i have been playing football since childhood with normal people. but as soon as i heard about the idea of establishing a football team for the disabled in 2019, and i decided to join al jazeera sports club and i am currently playing the alley. my message is clear, and i mean, i always say that disability is not the end of and a person can reach what he wants using their will, determination and persistence. and mm ah was on the with a little so i want to tell how we aspire to participate internationally. for example, to travel to the arab republic of egypt and jordan, and to any country where football for disabled as president went on to participate and enhance the players. steadfastness in matches with some players,

8:38 am
he's a political prisoner rejecting his case as unfounded and biased from the start. at his trial, he pled not guilty, and he called the accusations against him, a bunch of alive the court decided otherwise and jailed him for 25 years. he's now served a 3rd of that sentence and he's agreed to talk to me from prison because your case is highly political. are you being treated differently? well, of course i've been through the different monthly because my families in the okay deciding that online is special or is group or whatever. the law has a different treatment for my email, different 3 for, for my e mail jig it a little limit. yes, i'm a general population, but on the other very strict supervision and control, victor boot describes himself as a political prisoner. i asked him what that means. this is a 100 percent qualify as a political prisoner because if i'm off my nationality,
8:39 am
i deny to call a twin size and i'm standing. they didn't do anything else and we'll fight for my innocence. i think i was a trial like a little musters. all last a, you know, this option to try how we can go and russians. i misstated bossman couple years ago or make a cab gonna keep him. as example, as a model for weeping, father rations would be more likely cooperate with us. when we go off there are up through z me. i asked victor about the fact that he's just had his 1st visit with his wife and daughter. thanks to the embassy efforts that i get even additional visits, i'm very grateful. i know it's really good. i asked victor about other russian citizens that had been picked up in 3rd countries and taken to the united states in order to be locked away. i asked him what the motivation to go after him and other russian citizens really was america. just trying forget that enough to do the,
8:40 am
you know, to the press so, you know, russian, the most good you wonder last time when they arrested benita leave. one of the government, actual official for is a commercial director of the russian engine manufacturer, beach owned by the state. looks like we're coming back to the medieval ages where the mediterranean pirates from the coast of the all jeers and denisia will go. and i check the people and been sick and wait until somebody common tried to pay on. right. so i asked him about deals that had been offered to him in the past and currently, well, there's been during pre trial during the trial where they've been through the public defender, they approach and said, well, we're going to get through it all your primary green car and central you there, if you know that some dirt about how car of this regime saw and so i said, i have nothing to do. do you know about this or no, no, you can't do the 1st one. we don't for all the deals. that's why i went through the trial. i asked victor if he thought there was any hope for him getting out of
8:41 am
prison before his 25 year sentence was up there. never know, especially in this political climate, which america is what will happen 1st, but i'm sure something is on the making and i'm sure something is coming. my way to get your boot offered up a pretty strong and consistent critique of the us legal system. and how he says it is being used against russian citizens boot points to what he calls conspiracy laws as a method of imprisoning people. not actually committing crimes, but for off hand comments made to undercover officers. boots says he's not the only political prisoner being held and that the efforts of the russian embassy have definitely improved circumstances. bobbin r t new york the us says it poses a request for the international criminal court to probe the killing of a palestinian. is there a journalist who was shot dead in the west bank and despite the fact that stream of likely also hot american citizenship that were legal team. it says there's new
8:42 am
evidence to prove the killing was a deliberate attack by israeli forces, with the state department does not support an independent investigation. when it comes to the i t. c. we maintain our long standing objections to the investigation and of allison in situation in the, in the position the acquisition focus on its core mission and that core mission of serving as a court of last resort and how to and to trying atrocity crimes. on tuesday, i'll just 0 said it's hard, filed a lawsuit to the i. c. c. following an investigation by the channels legal team. the network is demanding that the court identify individuals involved in the killing of serene blacklist, which both palestinian authorities and the reporters family have accused israel of . we spoke to a close friend of the reporter who says that washington's acting in its own interests and nobody but the i. c. c can reinstate justice in the case. i feel in justice i feel and just let us know just to see and the international community is
8:43 am
hippocratic and the americans are hippocratic. it's a clear that there is a strategic relationship between usa and israel, and usa has been predicting as an own international organization, regardless what the automated me it has committed if the criminal court was not the predictable athenian people who should. and in the case of sharing, sharing was killed. and sure in am is a symbol of daily seni everidge philistines, who live daily under israeli, a corporation and, and the life that it the villa thing and people are suffering not only from vacation, but from the american best, the best towards israel. now the idea had initially rejected any involvement in the
8:44 am
reports as death, but did late to admit that there was a high possibility that she was accidentally killed by israeli fire or but sullivan has a strongly objected to allowing anyone to investigate his troops. no one will investigate idea of soldiers and no one will preach to us about morals and warfare . certainly not al jazeera has just a quick recap of the events back in may that have since cause so much outrage and control us in a point one. and you may find the following for the disturbing. she mean, i will, i claim was killed on the 11th of may while covering and israeli military raid on a refugee company tried westbank dislike, clearly wearing a blue precipice and helmets. reporter shots in the head with an arm of testing bullets, apparently fired from a sniper rifle. she was rushed to hospital where doctors were unable to save her life. she had been working for al jazeera for 25 years,
8:45 am
a former director of the palestinian non governmental organizations network says us bills and one israel to be held accountable for them. and since 2 years ago, they are escalating their violation against human rights and but it's, it's contradicted by international rights slow. if anyone letting you know that it's the punish people or killing people, supposed to hold these deaths on or the government to accountability. there is no accountability in this case and other cases for the building settlements, conflicts getting learned. and historically, united administration is that from against the human rights. the other. but a big thing is that you're able to see one called as a government to the accountability by top breaking news story. this, our russia and the u. s. have carried out a high profile prison,
8:46 am
a swap versus business. when victor boots, he was convicted of alms dealing charges in the u. s. has been handed over to moscow. and that's an exchange for american basketball star. brittany greiner, who was sentenced to 9 years in a russian prison for drug trafficking. moscow had been pushing for boots released for years, but washington had declined to consider the move until now. let's discuss this with russia lawmaker maria booth, who helped negotiate the salt deal. maria, thank you very much for joining us. well, i guess for all this short notice, i guess this is expected for you. can you just tell that is a bit about the details of the agreements? how difficult it was to broker on about the significance of it, please. while you can see how difficult it was in the situation and there how the united states treat russia today in russian citizens, me personally have survived through one and a half year old us prison being found guilty without guilt. so i do understand what
8:47 am
it means. however, i should say that what would have suffered through it's unbelievable for so many years. however, she is why i just talk to her. she has the wonderful, wide, all the years she has next to her husband. despite of his imprisonment, they have been talking over the hall and then she was frightened leathers and supporting human. yes, she is a great mother. so the court of the russian position that we never give up our people and we will always fight after russian. here is now kind of home, it's an incredible happiness for me because it's, i guess it's in the change of it. despite all they are optimal that the united space has been doing for years and years of this. ready work, i mean, we're talking of years and years moscow's been trying to persuade washington to
8:48 am
carry out such a deal for years. what do you make of the timing of victor boots released today? can you read anything out for us? well, i do believe it's just that it means that russia was pushing and pushing hard all these days and years. and finally, they negotiated the deal. and it's a great big thing for rational diplomacy, thanks to the era, hard and stable position of our president. it all became real and just the guess couple months ago that was another swap. we have been in the united states for more than 10 years and he's home to they are 2 of these guys are happy and they are symbol of you know, whatever they try to make or rush like rush and evil, evil. right. and now this people are home, they're going to deal with their families that you wish them happy life and just
8:49 am
you know, tried to forgive, i guess, as a question, but never, never get been given the current states of geo politics. maria, what does it say that despite relations between russia and the u. s. b, the lowest they've been for decades that the 2 countries can still agree, even, you know, in, on a prison swap like this. oh, i wish i would say that it's because both countries just or they just value human lives, but i do believe it's russian position. diversity has been for years we have been trying to to take our people back years in the united states was decided and said that we don't want it and we want them just to show everybody that we have the russians and look at them. it's horrible. it's a look, so i became a wisdom of which and therefore today why it's possible. well,
8:50 am
i believe because russian, we're pushing hard and that means that we have a very strong position in the world that you had to stay in for this. while you touched upon, you know, your personal experience just that and your answer, what was, what was it like, you know, being part of such a business deal. i wasn't a part of a swab deal, however, and the country did everything. so i came back home, not in 15 years in the united states was trying to leave me behind the bars for bod . in one half year though, i went through 4 months of solitary confinement sleepless nights for more than a month. and 4 people on dress and over and over again. portable tortures. so i just, i'm so sorry for what has been through and it's you bad and can be back to normal life. what, what the united states prisoners. however,
8:51 am
i believe the la la brought me back the local my family and then sure that his wife and child and his mom didn't have to render to the last session that is going on around the family and they love him so, so much. so he's really a car. i hope you yourself oversee been through quite a harrowing experience in the u. s. as you just described, unimaginable for most people. can you describe tours in 5 years, what you felt when you 1st landed back on home territory? what did you feel like, and what did you do the 1st day? i said, just freedom. i can go right to left. i can make my choice. i see my model land, and i just don't want to go anywhere in the world. i just want to be home. i have
8:52 am
been, you know, fighting so hard to get home. and i know i know what is, what does it mean? real called the family, the good, my country, my model and never give that on us on the russians. wherever we are with them, what happened of your money to come to terms with your ordeal, marie, you mentioned the boot. forgiving the u. s. for the for the president of you money to do that. invited to come to terms and move on from what you went through. i don't hate medical people and that's what i wish for the 2 are kind of come through the case and the because it's on just it's on jeff. however, i understand that there is government, and there are people and people, they say not people, but what the government, the government does with, with, with its own people. look, i've been around all the blacks,
8:53 am
like they're only searching for some like, like people in the united states, how they managed all to be in jails. the majority of it means that the recent just and there is that discrimination going on. so i just do believe that the united nations changes policy. well, maria boots recent lawmakers, thank you very much for breaking down the details of the printer deal as well as showing your personal experiences of incarceration in the us. it's been a pleasure talking on the program this evening. thank you. when just a quick mind of our breaking news story now russia in the u. s. have carried out a high profile prison, a swap deal versus business going to big boots, converts it on alms dealing charges in the u. s. has been handed over to moscow and exchange for american basketball star. brittany greiner, who was sentenced to 9 years in a russian present for drug traffic in moscow, had been pushing for beach released for years, but washington had declined. consider the move until now. well,
