social work system to see the science we have a problem seeing young teenage girls as women who are making decisions and that is an issue. jasono wonder why it keeps happening. one of the issues you have got is a serious question about what is happening in our communities, we are not observing it, and why aren't the authorities, and organisations like the local press, why aren't they able to keep an eye on, i —— observe what is happening? this is happening on the margins of quite big towns, but it isa margins of quite big towns, but it is a must world. that worries me deeply. it raises questions about community relations and about how our whole town doesn't —— towns and cities are structured. and the need for integration. it is an exploitable narrative. it is useful for some elements in the far right. we have seen that with the language used by likes —— the likes of tommy robinson. we have to be so careful of being able to criticise behaviour without allowing it to become a fit for everyone we let's move quickly to the times. i will give this eu quickly. we have three former cabinet secretaries, following on from a letter to t

jason van dyke faces multiple counts. van dyke shot laquan mcdonald 16 times, saying he fired in self-defense. ryan youngovering this case for us in chicago. ryan, what can you tell us? >> reporter: this one has been a tough one for the city. this all comes down to what you believe. when the video was released four years ago, it set the city in a shock wave. it shut down the city. it appears laquan mcdonald is walking maybe towards a fence. jason van dyke's attorney said they believe laquan mcdonald was walking with a knife toward the officer. there were ten other officers standing around him, none of the others fired. yesterday something very strange happened. two alternate jurors were released from the jury, and they gave some sound about how they felt about how this case was moving forward. it's pretty extraordinary. take a listen. >> do you feel like you had an idea if you were deliberating which way you would go? >> oh, yes, definitely. most definitely. >> which way would you go? >> i would have said guilty. >> why is that? >> there's a lot of things. for me he should have waited a little bit longer

jason? >> thanks for having us here for this important debate. we appreciate the opportunity to have the is discussion. >> climate change is happening, israel and is caused by human emissions. i'm a father of young children. like all parents, we view the world through the eyes of our kids. there isn't a day that goes by that i don't think about the world that all of our children will inherit and the crises that is represented by climate change. my opponent has a 5% lifetime record by the league of conservation voters. 5% is turning back on public lands, the u.n. climate accord at a time when we to be doubling down and making investments in renewable energy and being a world leader in rejoining the climate accord. we are running in the opposite direction and we will not solve this issue with the same leadership that brought us here and got us into this mess. should you be elected, what would you do in this trump administration to change this? >> there is a huge economic component to this. china and europe are making large investments in renewable energy, infrastructure, we are making those investments sewed donald trump a year ago called for investments in transportation and infrastructure. how c

mcdonald a seventeen year old young man with a knife in hand but not aimed at everybody walking away from police as he was shot sixteen times and that officer officer jason van dyke was convicted not only of second degree murder today but of sixteen separate charges of battery one for each of the bullets that he fired at look on mcdonald now his lawyer says he was something of a sacrificial lamb he said under the current environment he couldn't have gotten a fair trial and they had tried to move that trial but his lawyer also said that they were possibly looking at a murder one charge of premeditated murder charge that would have meant a life sentence instead he has twenty years or so depending on what the judge decides to give him down and public backlash. killed so what does this verdict mean for the city of chicago. well if the city was prepared for a massive uprising chicago is still scarred from the one nine hundred sixty eight riots after the death of martin luther king so you have a few officers behind me still but they were there twelve thousand in the city about her. half of them had been deployed all around chicago and they were prepared for a

jason: i don't think they were very close. there are some who want to try and displace the current crown prince, given his young age in his 30s.nd take advantage. nevertheless, the saudis have been wrong on this every step of the way. it's almost laughable to success that a spontaneous brawl broke out. somehow it's 18 versus one. i think the president and secretary of state mike pompeo have taken the right tempered approach. the cia director is the one that has the cards. she's going to know was happening. it's a tough, tough decision that goes to the president about how far you take this and making sure that there is some degree of accountability, even though it's not a u.s. person. what degree of accountability are we going to hold saudi arabia too? >> melissa: they admit that it was preplanned. that meets the obvious question of "by whom?" if they say the crown prince wasn't behind it, is that believable? >> kennedy: what's next? he lived, then they said "yes he was there but he died." now they are saying "yes he was there, he was murdered." now they are saying "yes, he was there, he was murdered, it was premeditated." that

young privileged white men. that message doesn't sell in most communities. >> can we put that picture back up of the swearing in? jasonrguing is that getting that picture is worth it. right? for the republican base, that's it. that's all they care about is getting that. and that no matter what women had to go through, so what. >> it doesn't matter. and what's interesting, i found is in a lot of the responses from the members of congress and the senators who were bring themselves to say i believe dr. ford -- >> the lady got it wrong. >> she was confused as to who attacked her. it is worth it. they have a supreme court justice is who is going to be there for 8,000 people. people who are angry and mean, they never die. they stick around forever. the issue is going to be whether or not any of this has an electoral impact. the problem is like i said before, form congressman jolly mentioned it. the republicans are excited about their own people. look at pennsylvania, new mexico, michigan, minnesota, iowa, all of these swing states that trump won are about to get democratic governors. that means no voter suppression in 2020.

so, jason, donald trump doesn't see any of this as a teachable moment for the men of america. doesn't see it as a teachable moment for his youngon. >> of course not. because the president is a living example that you can be abusive, you can be verbally abusive to women, you can be physically abusive to women, professionally abusive. sexually abusive and 53% of white women will vote for you. that is what is he's operating under. for every horrible wretched thing the president says in support of misogynistic violent minute, there are women in this country who are just as invested in that kind of patriarchy. that's why men like brett kavanaugh have been able to skirt through, because there are women who support them in this kind of behavior. >> dahlia, it wouldn't occur to donald trump just how scary the world has been, a world that has a crime called rape, has an attack on a human being called rape, and that's never crossed donald trump's mind of what it's like to live with that. >> it is an extraordinary lesson. first of all, the rule of trump is, but enough about kavanaugh. let's talk about me, ritght? and immediately the narc
