ththere's no choice in the mattr ababout, oh, do i fight for my land or do i just stay silent? [chanting] kalyanee: buddhismsm came fromom the land, came from the trees and ththe land andnd the watere. anand actually, the e buddhist monks have been really active, you knowow, for the last few years in areng valley and also with otherer protests s that hae been happening all across the country. they feel that they are not just there to be religious figures, but they are there to actively be involved in fighting and helping the cocommunities fight and prottt for what they think is right and just. kalyanee: the wrapping of the trees, it's both symbolic and also practical. it's symbolic because, you know, the saffron robe is a symbol of the monkhood and is also a symbol of this affinity and connection with the trees. but it's also practical because if loggers come and they see the saffron robe, you know, wrapped around the tree, they might think twice, you know, about cutting that tree down. kalyanee: : this iababout, you know, what we want to pass on to our granandchildrn and d to

classes i have to meet with some teachers of those subjects and tell them to continueue with me, ababout0 miminutes. reporter: one reason for this is that samuel does not always come to class. anne: come, for example, monday, skip tuesday, come on wednesday. so y you will fifind that they continue lagging behind in learning, so you have to repeat what you taught previously for them to understand. reporter: but samuel h has a hd back home that he has to take care of. drought has tataken its toll n the animals. samuel: we had a lot of cows and goats, but because of drought and disease, they die. even now, we cannot be able to sese. reporter: that's a another rean why samuel is going to school. his uncle is paying for the classes. >> samuel wants to get an education for his future. that's whyhy i'm supporting hi. it will help everyone. samuel: what made me to decide to go back to school is s becae of the poverty that we have in this family. reporter: samuel lekulate's job as a shepherd just doesn't pay enough to live on anymore. milicent yewa also worries about money all the time. but she's

he is actually making two popots, one ababout gaza and one explosive ofng an his own into the israeli political system. is,s,uess the further point what effect will this hahave on the sisituation in gaza? >> it is notot clear. at the moment, there is a cease-fire, which we haven't heard much about from the israeli government.no official has come out and said , here, we have this cease-fire. they have kind of let it be known that if hamas stops firing, they will stop firing, too. the second the announcement came out and understanding came out, all of these different ministers came out and said, i never signed it because it is a hard right government and they don't all agree. now, as soon as there is any flareup on the gaza border, it has been quiet for almost 24 hours now, as soon as there is any flareupupthis'll make more difficultlt for israel's prime minister to ststay in the position he is in, which i is, t is not worth the war in g gaza r israel, not to mention for the people of gaza. man: i remember r years back talking to my dad and saying, "at some point in my career, i'd love

. >> the government has been sued to demand that they d do somethg ababout thisis. the problem is t the power companies s have known since the seventities and proby longer than that that this coal ash is such a mamassive, huge amount of waste that they don't know what to do with. they have fought for yeyears and years and years to make sure that the regulations don't make i it difficult for them to get rid of this stuff. >> the message for the commumunities are you have to defend yourself anand know that your government that you are financining is not adequatately defending your heaealth, safety, and welflfare, nor your rights o clean air, clean land, and clean water. >> the people who live around coal ash dump sites believe they are being shrugged off as collateral damage, by both corporarate intererests and slolow-moving government agenci. more than anyone, they know what's at stake. >> i've lived 55 years. and i know that it's a touough economy and people have to make tough decisions. um, i do think that powower and money and g grd is a a big--is a a big part o o

what do you think ababout the ia of impeaching president trump?you feel the issue is off the table or something that should be explored, perhaps s for this reason, or others? >> it absolutely should be explored. there has been an investigation that is ongoing. it looks to me that the president is working to make some moves before the congress actually gets sworn in. it absolutely needs to be explored. options.o consider all we have to protect our democracy. -- i did not run on impeaching trump. i did not feel that was something, you know, was happening with this election. however, the reality is, if you did violate our constitution, if he did commit any crime, then that -- and if there are found to be impeachable offenses, then we absolutely have to protect our democracy and fight for the american people. amy: recently, senator elizabeth warren came under fire since releasing a dna test showing native american lineage in her family tree. she released a video thahat told her family's stor >> myother was born ithe eaern oklama. it hadeen indi territ

conceptualizing what the others are doing it, i do believe everybody has heard the famous article of general Ãbaboutabout the russian concept of hebert war. hiroshima basically said that the west is using the Ãwar against us since were nearly use the hebert war against them. the power of revolution is nothing else but the covert operation of the american. what we should try to do is we should try to have operations of our own mirror what we are doing. then what you are asking them. in the time of spending i have seen most senior russians in last year's them trump. from this point you can ask them, can you imagine there was something spontaneous? can you theoretically imagine people can go on the streets without being paid by george soros of the american government. and one of the most interesting things that i have heard was first, yes, we can't imagine. but we cannot imagine this also because if people really get on the streets when they are pitstop with the governments why they have not been down the streets from russia in 1990s and not in the streets of russia because they were on your site. this

. >> as we talk ababout these diststrict attorney raraces, w i agree, it is some of the best organizingoing on in this country during these p past elelection cycles. it have been targeting these district attorneys who run unopposed anand have deep ties o law enforcement in their communities. it is assumed they will slide in and they will do business with. in philly, one of the reasons why he was able to win is a lot of those cops don't even live in philly. when that happened. also, the president of the united states has not gone to a foreign war zone to visit u.s. troops which in the post-9/11 world is very unusual, but he is causally speaking to sheriffs, police officers. you have a white supremacist and jeff sessions who is the attorney general who actually add lived the insert -- ad-libbed the insertion of the line of the anglo-american heritage o of law enforcement io his speech. that is part of why people are mobilizing against these entrenched pro-police district attorneys, because the entire vibe is that the police, the court, the district attorney are all at war against you. it
