you saw anything else, so you're exactly about 9 percent of their exports. so i think malaysia and indonesia can look at alternative customers very easily. and northern africa, thousands of tennesseans, i protesting against the policies of the country's government as well as disputed parliamentary elections that some locals belief were rigs. oh, demonstrations have been mon, my classes with police and slogans demanding the fall of the regime. people are outraged by the economic crisis and rising unemployment gripping the country. january the 14 full st. mark's, the anniversary of the revolution has started. the arab springs uprisings back in 2011. his, our local opposition leaders explain the reasons for the process of the economy in state institutions happen politically collapsed. this crowds that

gathered sate enough to the school that destroyed almost everything in a moment. good for about about this. so this regime fits on tyranny, oppression, injustice, and backwardness would prove that the nation people will not tolerate your policies of clothes and of the parliament with a military tank or disobey the diesel system. nowhere did he say there are food shortages, the economy is in bad shape. we are fighting to save our country from the situation . it is in thanks. joining us here with all the international as always, plenty more of the latest updates on our website, auntie dot com. we're back in 30 minutes. ah . what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race move is on often very dramatic development. only personally,

i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult. time. time to sit down and talk with you in elementary school. the teachers called me that problem. cheers. so i was labeled burly. i ended up getting kicked out of school. i was 1617, and 18 though. she's been my graduation high school years, but instead, i'm on the streets, selling crap. gang bang and bacon that i was going to make to see 21. i

would get dressed in all red ride the bus to the heel just to walk around and wait for a group of blues to approach me 1st, i would try to fight it tagged eisen. i walk in the middle and then i'd pull out that day and, and watch up scatter. what i owe you know, watch a wound like roaches. then i got addicted to be in fear. my mom was here trying to be the disciplinarian and the bread winner. but she didn't have no help. i rebuild. it gives her what it wasn't her fault. we were in this together. and that's what i should have known then.

ah, my mom was my 1st love up until the mid eighty's when crack became the reason to be for her. it was okay. but she had an addiction and it grew monstrous. her addiction to crap superseded everything, her dignity, her ability to reason her desire to be a mother. it was one of the things i broke me. i didn't like the life that i was living, but somehow i felt helpless to change it. i felt like i was just being carried on this wave of circumstance, not being able to have a job not being able to be the person that i thought that i could be. i just

couldn't seem to get to her. i remember a few days before being incarcerated, crying out to god, and knowing how trapped i felt knowing how limited my option to work. and i just wanted out of that life. i didn't stand on the corner. i didn't do drive by, i. but i had a boyfriend i did, and i had sworn myself in the thinking that if i just stayed on the fringes of that lifestyle, that i couldn't get caught up. that wasn't true when we started round enough usual suspects. and i was on my boyfriend with all my protestations of innocence. it is fell on deaf ears. there must be no doubt about who side we are. all people who commit crimes should be caught convicted and punished. their savings will be used to put a 100000 police officers on the street

a 20 percent increase. it will be used to bill prisons to keep a $100000.00 violent criminals off the street. you will be put away and put away for good 3 strikes and you are 1993. washington state was the 1st state in the nation to implement the 3 strike policy and make it okay to put people in prison. throw away the key. there are many people who have rehabilitated their lives, who could be contributing to our young people, to our families, and that door has been slammed shut in washington state. we are still one of only 16 states that does not have the parole system. what's interesting about washington state is really reflective of what's interesting about the whole country. this country is based on beer. when you have a country that is based on or that has grown out of colonization and slavery, people on rest easy. that's why everyone needs to be armed in this country to

protect what they have. because what they have was stolen may not talk about it may not admit it, but it's there. whether you are on the read or on the blue. whatever side it is, no one fleece easily in this country. there was a drama, georgia, messrs baker. i simply want to say legislators have an inherent conflict of interest. the number one object of the legislatures to get reelected. i, how do you get reelected? truly easy. ponder podium and sam tough on crock of the children, who have been k, o. the victims of via the public is fed up, and that means more prison time. we have a greater percentage of our population in prison right now than any society in the history of western civilization. and we have this high and mighty attitude about ourselves. i want you to imagine that as much as $60.00 to $0.70 out of every tax

dollar in my county goes toward criminal justice. it is a horrendous waste of resources. if you don't care about people, it's a horrendous way of resources on a private washing. it's very, very easy to instigate beer. that's what happened with 3 strikes because the face of the threat then became young, black and brown. men. we need to take these people on. they are often connected to big drug cartels. they are not just gangs of kids anymore. they are often the kinds of kids that are called super predators. no conscience, no empathy. we can talk about why they ended up that way, but 1st we have to bring them to heal. and the president is asked the f b i to launch a very concerted effort against gangs everywhere. john and i were to go to the f. b i task force. they were forming a task force or gangs. we met with the drugs are privately,

as you go around the country and see communities everywhere. people who are no longer willing to hide nor houses. this is our hill. all we want to know is go by your judge pure, all up or lake. we don't come here, you've got to take a stand, but are willing with leadership and with involvement, police and directions, least willing to take to the streets. you want to know why we were having success with our federal task force because they set them up all over the country and not all of them were kicking like we were in the wanted to know why john and i knew the gang members from work and the street and so we kind of knew who they should be targeting. oh, i mean, the police started to more sleep saying would just get the kids and round a left for whatever little reason they could if they could get him on a sentence and give them a long sentence, keep them from ever coming. that is to play doh police, keith play guns, a lease,

keith kick indoors and they get the search one later. i gotcha. when i got you down in a damn bay in the take, they got you one them rules all by yourself in it because you by yourself, you're going to jail, may not have them even been a criminal activity. they just because they were out there, they'd get them just unloading. if i was walking to the corner store and i saw a house lo further up and i thought looked nice. so i wanted to walk by in the police saw me, they would say to me, what you do, and here you live around here on the narrative that we keep hearing is that there are people who are entitled to be here. even though folks know that this is not anybody's, it's not their land. so that narrative of being entitled and really protecting that is really what drives a lot the we, as a country don't wanna uncover that's too painful. given

a race based country such as we are, the people that really are impacted are the poorest and the black is mm. looking back now, i'm able to see everything that happy. i wasn't able to see it, the install wasn't able to avoid the traffic. now were safe for me. a lot of was weren't, i don't wanna excuse any of the crimes that were committed because there were crimes committee, but some people didn't commit crimes and were just caught up in the friends that they chose. and it was in the friends that they chose, the friends would, i grew up with, this is the neighborhood you, they knew these kids, you went to school with these people whose auntie house she went to eat sunday dinner and mm. most of us didn't just wake up and say, i want to be a gang member, this is what i'm going to be in life. we just went to that because this we were exposed to win enable

the last part of my career. i had the best job. mm hm. least i had ultimate freedom to set my own targets and my own investigations long as i was producing. they left me alone. so i didn't have a lot of supervision by the late ninety's at the hill. top area was pretty much cleaned up in convicted aggravated murder. a drama aggravated martyr is the highest crime in washington. they change some law in a hard time for arm crime in 1094 that says if a murder occurred during the discharge of a firearm from a motor vehicle,

then you can be subject to the death penalty or life in prison. if i would have got senses to 1st or be murder, i probably would ahead 27 years since the murder occurred during the discharge of a file from a motor vehicle. i got 7, he said he, 70 years louisa, that a judge did not have the ability to give them a sentence of less than life without parole. is that the legislature made it an aber voting circumstance to do a drive by shooting. because he shot impulsively without knowing who was in the other car, but out of a car, only one punishment was appropriate. that law was passed because mostly white legislators viewed it as worse for gang members to shoot from

a car. it was a clear reaction to the fear of black and hispanic individuals, a weapon in the commission of a crime. the promise of the criminal justice system is that it rises above race. will be the title of the when i work in washington state, that's a state that is overwhelmingly white. how true when i go into a prism, criminal justice system remains broken by the influence of race. ah ah ah

ah with your said humanity, you said to privacy you're surrounded by middle

and green. when you feel like cattle, you feel like something that's not real they shoot me down and search you. it's a roller coaster on your emotional well being put in a shell, a by pin fil, with people that you don't know, you never, you don't know what they're there for. what their balance is, a deprivation to your sanchez hard to explain. mm. you're away from everything that you know, i could not conceive of my life taking place within the walls that i saw around me . we're going to give you 3 meals a day. we don't give you say many lab was to go slab sleep on. and that's basically

it, there is no rehabilitation, there's no repair prison as a socializing force and total institution does it work? by and large, now people learn to become antisocial. it's not designed to help anybody. well. office you should make sure that you understand that you are a prisoner. when you find yourself in contact with them, they tend to look down as a way of not giving you eye contact for a lot of prisoners. it kind of makes them internalize that here. nobody i don't think that as prisoners were treated as people ah, now i'm able them handles on use all over like my slavery.

normally when i get out of it, i had scheduled so when i used to be a young new sitting in this room and i used to be talking about stuff that i didn't have no clue about it. i'm st. politics, policies, legislators and i used to hear people speak about these different. i've been saying that i used that hate not knowing institutional writing. i hate watching cnn and see these guys talking about politics and have no clue about what they was talking about. but knowing that these decisions were affecting my life somehow. and i will say that that is kind of one of the things that sent me on my quest. i wanted to learn why i think that the opportunities with the black prisoners caucus slip my interaction with free people. i'm able to really internalize and i'm not an offender. i'm not a prisoner. i'm just a man who happens to be in prison. what are things at the black prison? his coffee says of that they may be absent from community, but there's still

a part of community in people constantly outside every single week who cared about us and homes and a let us know that we were still part of the community. i always remember, mary, she said, if we planned on returning back to the community, how we came in here than we might as well stay in there. mm. mm. i was the president of the black was caucus at monroe. i went to the hall for a class a infraction possession of a cell phone because i was life without it didn't grant me the opportunity to stay at bonham. i got ship the column bay. ah, hello. the black person scottish was essentially a large part of everything that was going on. but when i got here that was enough, i basically just reached out to ministration. was kind of hesitant on allowing us

to be able to have the name like prisoners caucus. it was too radical for them for something to have black and ah, i just reinforced that the black person has a loan for this history within the department of corrections. ah and so eventually it was like business process because she's never been able to really get going. and so, you know, as we started to have some of our 1st meetings, the idea was now what is it that we want to see, right. what are the opportunities that we need in order for us to, you know, really stay committed on improving self. you'll begin to meet people who've been down longer than you've been alive. people walk them since the 7. and so you'll

realize that know what, they're really not letting people or you probably got got 7 years or more than 131 and one or more does a lot of stuff, a love love all the from the all been gone. does a lot of this, there's a lot of the search, not only do you have to make a commitment, but you have to make a choice. if i still want to continue live in the life that got me here, or i want to try and live in a better life, right? we can never become somebody different, but we're going to be a better version of your eye.

almost immediately upon antimony cloud bay, i found out that a few guys had just started a program and they call cheats. and it's for taken as occasion and create and has to me and come on and call it. i've been on it since we was kids in the same so you see with on the side i was on the healed. so we was really rivals back when he can get when he came here. i see him, he with anyone about a, b, p, c. and he went to start a teens program. it came up with the idea. we would like, ok, let's do it. there were several of us were a column bay who had a lot of time to do him present and we weren't being allowed to attend education class. the priority for our education department is those individuals with 7 years or less on their sentence. so if you have more than 7 years, which a lot of people do, you don't get

a chance to get an education. we wanted to get professors to be able to come out here, but we was too far. so the next thing was do either let each program go to waste or do we figure out a way to make it flow? so later we came up, we would just teach the class work backwards from here, and then we're gonna move on as long as we get teach math where we could teach writing. and so it was more about the skill sets that we already had and being able to just really nurture those and provide those in a classroom setting to a y equals negative a negative is positive. we reached out to a lot of prisoners, right guys. we had degrees and all the time so, but then we also quickly came to the realization just because you have a degree doesn't mean that you can teach. eventually we begin to find guys who teach him was something that was last. what he said about creating all syllabus is in the curriculum and in all classes with

a story changing and shaping people's thinking. and from there, the worst spray when i got here and was working on the school floor, i blew by the teacher classroom. and it was the 1st time i ever seen a classroom being taught without an officer and it was prisoners lift enough prisoners. and so when i seen these guys doing that stuff, i had to be part of the money to g, $40.00 a half, 2 hours. within the day we decided to diversify our board. this way we can attract more students, but also we can understand each other more. so is reaching all corners, it presently with part of me coming on board with this, we're seeing what you guys were doing and, and wanting to get behind that. i was like, yes, finally, an opportunity for me to go and do something productive that was provided before that inmates created. we've created

a support group for positivity in the most unlikely of environment with we've been pitted against one another for so long. it literally allows a prison to run itself as long a day stay separated, we got to worry about them coming together, becoming knowledgeable to fixing the social issue that end up landing them in prison in the 1st place. ah, the more that we begin to educate ourselves, the more empowered we become, the less manipulated we can be. the less oppressed we can be. now while we're begin, it's realize that we can get more accomplished together than we can apart. you know, cuz it can essentially, at 1st i really didn't want to leave column by because it had things that we were doing up dared. i were so powerful in the relationship that we have with administration. i didn't think that we're gonna be able to duplicate some of those

things. so i thought to stay there in my comfort zone. i continue to bill. ready no more was coming up for his time a leave also. ready the more set his mind on shone and i went to my review after that, where i spoke to my counselor and they asked me when i went to go. when it came time he transferred, they told me shout. so i was happy i sent word to do more than i was coming, and he sent word to say good, i'm glad because i'm having some problems with trying to get to pbc started here. most of the people that live in this county worked at this point. this is not a diverse community. the most diversity they have is behind these barbed wire fences. some days they have a challenge accepting me. so i can only imagine what the challenges would be around black christmas cocker. the fear that i hear is that all, you know, the name as to block prisoners carcasses. it's

a black gang. we should be fearful of that. mm. people who form ignorant, short sighted opinions about things like that, haven't taken the opportunity to participate and learn really what is going on there. welcome to watch the corrections that are thank you for being here today. i attended that you saw man, and i was speechless. i listen to the stories that were being told, the things they had to say what really resonated with me and drew me in the, the things that we have been through the things that we have been around. i would worry what others would think of would i think i go saw. that was my concern. i used to think that not to gang bang was assigned to weaken. i only intended to be there for a few minutes to catch. i can do an introduction. see what it was about, and when i sat down, i did want to get back up to help young people way make some of the same bad

decisions that we may also, we hope to be able to reach young people themselves. we believe in them and expect them to influence and add to the world must we solidify to b, p. c. here we wanted to move on to the next thing and start to teach program because this prison as forest prison is, is canada mac of prisons. in our state, this is where every person 1st comes to an issue. every person, if you're transferred from one prison to another prison, you have to come to here. so as we in mit who's gonna be here for a while, we see everybody in the state. they have to cross our past. i see young guys all the time come to here whose life i've influenced negative. that's something that i've had to live with, working towards having a positive influence on those generations. now, it gives me a way to undo some of the wrongs that i've done in the past. with the joggers archipelago told me that she goes to

san diego garcia, the largest island in the archipelago is now the location of a very large u. s. military base. you could go the med div i to the u. s. government to make a military base and just deported or douglas and people from their country. so they call it returned back on the island. no, but we are fighting. that's why i'm fat real fighting for the right. so i, we do not consider that the right to self determination actually applies to the trickle. since i don't the question of self determination, the legal advice we have received is actually the trickle. since we're not an arnold a people for me, it's time to move on and see what we can do. a full the tend to said committee to return back home. there is no support from the nomination. i commission, i forget united michigan don't care about chug or send people

oh, a tea party, o israel with report from tele b, what? tens of thousands, flip the streets in pro democracy protests as the government pushes to allow parliament to overrule the supreme court. reports of loss and disruptions and infrastructure across ukraine. is that anything creating the countries count with tensions flare up between iran on the u. k. off that to ron, executed on my deck. we did events when it was also a british.
