and nine hundred fourteen cents and thousands have passed through its drug and alcohol treatment program. two hundred forty four men occupy this space here at the mission and we're going to go and see where i got my humble beginnings in recovery this is the residence when you first come into the midnight mission everyone that comes in has to come through this dormitory first. so this was my bed c three up and you can see this in the this is just the way it was when i when i got here i did a lot of soul searching this bit right here i had to make up my mind whether or not i was going to try to stay sober what the program was for me what i was really doing here you know at forty one years old what are you going to do i mean at that point for me it was either you go forward you know what the other lifestyle or you try to pull back and do something different. any time you can fall from grace or you fall from from lofty heights if you want to use that word. it's humbling. the area has

are always worked. back in the mid seventy's through the mid eighty's we didn't call them homeless back then we were emptying our mental hospitals by basically saying now we have them instead of help you and you can also get on disability so go forth and take care of yourself the predominant population on the row at that time and continues to date are the homeless mentally ill obviously many of them are also involved with addiction and and sometimes you can't figure out which came first and that doesn't even matter the fact is they've got melanoma serious mental illness because the institutions don't exist anymore reagan closed down all those places and they took all the mental people and they gave it to society and then where do we go you either get. get locked in and smoke a cigarette three times a day and when they tell you or you sit out on the street you become homeless and you can at least have your own life to some point. in many ways it's an open asylum for the mentally ill we don't have closed asylums anymore except for our jails in our prisons l.a. county twin towers jail is the largest mental institution in the united states. because we no longer hospital wards are mentally ill so we criminalize them because of their behavior on the streets people were really questioning me like how can you open a place just for people who are crazy isn't that really stigmatized. and i said no i think we're going to be just the most righteous best drop in center we're going to have the best food we're going to feel like a family we're going to just make it a place

news slightly but the fact is i admired their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be. that was funny but it's close if it's true just like thank. goodness

who she is and i take her just who for who she is and that's why she loves me and i love her for that. except different i guess that's how i get my blessings from god. you know because in the beginning was like i but i truly i would defend her with my life you believe that i'll die behind this will lead you right here. life is. love life is a conundrum it could be. so story and everybody down who knows that if they bother her today they're going to have to deal with me so they basically don't bother her at all. they hate that she cares all the chairs. for us to see life where. it should be a long time to people why you'll get her off the street or why you know she won't she doesn't want that see people understand she you have to let them be who they are when she's ready to go

had my daughter my first twenty two then my other daughter and. my last daughter. i'm david heard. their father divorced me at that point i mean. there was nothing healthy about. everything with the stored it. was so restless. i don't know how to do that i don't know how i raised those three girls like that. but he said that my father passed away that hurt me really bad i lost everyone in my life that i cared about they're gone and then happened i came askin well. i developed a real bad drug and it came and came here. and i really didn't know and never thought about it i just know when you were wrong doing rome and doing your most folk nets were that's what i was going to do. but. that's what i wanted at that time a nice remember saying to myself sitting here long enough and keep doing i'm doing is going to happen because i just knew i was going go from glen is to say enjoy it and maybe down syndrome. grown is very good to me scare me say always use down bring through the most turbulent times now the. geos of your situation is to sort of mud dish it is a drug addiction crack cocaine also addicted to lifestyle of downtown oh we're. no one judge of snow. grew up in compton rogers i've been one horse i was three years old. people warsi have horses in the back yard. i just take them out no he didn't ride. like it or stand to the old old why you like it so good what you

to neverland ranch. be were horses. just be around smell them walk ride a baby. teach people about. horses i believe that. there's no you know if they get it because of the cost of the rest of so many people you know if i left i. used to get by the wall of wall people up and down the whole black berry and you could hardly walk up and down the street cars could be ok now or after they've been gone or everybody's either in jail or they all went to santa monica or venice hollywood or somewhere else we don't need more channels we have more mental institutions we need more doctors to come down here so the more people place now sandwiches that's what we really need we need more understanding we need the awareness that we're not told troi gothics three. things impact our central nervous system the environment that we grow up in and that we live in our d.n.a. basically what we're born with our genes and drugs. don't i mean is the reward neurotransmitter i mean it's what you see and release is from our brain cells when we are sexually aroused when we smell something good we'd like to be when. we smoke crack the brain of a schizo for. person untreated unmedicated is a wash with dope and maybe more sold on the brain a person that doesn't because from. the skin to frank brain cannot filter out the noises the heat. the other people talking to you it's only turning it once so the medications that we give people for schizophrenia reduced and don't for me unfortunately they reduce it too much and they feel good in some they don't get to feel pleasure anymore. these folks wake up every morning and have to face another day being stigmatized marginal person in the world and have to make decisions about using street drugs or using prescribed drugs. street drugs are easier to get their prescribed drugs street drugs feel better prescribe drugs don't particularly feel better in their hands everywhere people there's always a major because we need them there it's on medication for self medicate so be it how we also are going to. get my mobile telephone. medication so drugs suparna street. the. economic downturn in the final. sank night and the rest. will be every week on. in two thousand and ten one of the first things released by wiki leaks was a secret video recording that actually looked like a video showing america actually collect talked as opening fire on a dozen people in iraq and this is not a means to live in a society of images of violence become normal this is what the sense of isolation and lack of empathy look like. when we try and experience and to spend that money disassociate our own and embodying actions from the table we also have a sense from certain. i absolutely am frightened of the potential of games desensitize people we know they can because the military uses games as. long as war is not so bloody but it is chilling and chilling exacts a penalty of the killer. people for whom. it is defined by the popular media don't get the. sense. this is what you adjust your mental training as a fellow children of the industrial revolution we come of age but it seems to be running out of steam as well as oil coal gas water it's all true. the supply of this energy crisis suggests yes we have a recession obama is wise and more such does not supply just futuristic like the. next old light like reaper cycle to. play. his tally three

international with u twenty four a day in his first news conference since being ousted from power ukraine's in battle president viktor yanukovych has vowed to fight on speaking from southern russia insisted he was still ukraine's legitimate leader and accuse the opposition of staging a coup with the help of pro fascist forces. in kiev a start of the process to have extradited. was in. the words of. the post president. it's either going to still insists he is ukraine's legitimate president he says he hasn't been impeached he hasn't resigned and he's still very much alive and these are the only three preconditions by which she could not be considered a legitimate ukrainian president given this noble deposed me i was forced to leave ukraine because of a threat to my life and the lives of my relatives as you know power in ukraine was seized by nationalists young proof fascist mobs who represent a minority of the korean population now that they're not going to show also said that he left the country after an attempt on his life hearing for the safety of his own and as well as that of his family now when it comes to participating in the elections that are supposed to take place in may at the end of may of this year he says that they're not legitimate because they got have been suggested by the rada the ukrainian parliament which he also says is illegitimate at this point and therefore he's not going to take part in them as far as the opposition of course he says the ukrainian opposition is largely to blame for the mayhem that is ruling the day in ukraine at the moment however aside from that there is also of course the role off the west use victory and of course that that the western leaders who were there to sign the agreement on february twenty first have not sought it through and they were also the ones who have been actively supporting the opposition and thereby giving rise to these neo nazi armed gangs opposition members who are spreading all over a western and other parts of ukraine at the moment just what to do with the agreements made on the twenty first of february was supposed to bring a solution to the crisis. and that the opposition and radical elements present to the money john and in other regions had to hand over their weapons to own book the areas that you could see that was not in fool and as a result was flooded with gunman that's. paul grooms started to destroy houses cultural facilities and churches innocent civilians were suffering people were robed in beaten on the streets and that is still happening now and then of course there is the issue of the ukrainian police who have been in standoff with their rioters and the opposition on my don he would get he has apologized to them but he also took this chance this press conference. to apologize to them once again praising them for their bravery and he also mentioned that he had an address something to say as a way to address the current leaders to offer ukraine or those who claim to be in power he said that the people of ukraine will simply not followed. well arena has also been taking a look at the people between a covert has labeled pro nazi protesters and she found much concern over who has put themselves in children of ukraine. this was supposed to be a step towards a brighter. but now it's heading in a different direction which is the no one tells us when to bear arms and when not to you didn't give them to us and you won't take them away you want to take my gun you want to take away my rifle you want to take away my knife you come here and take it the very same man who happens to be one of the leaders of the group known as the right sector could be seen supplementing his words with actions. yes. yes. yes. they thought yes. right secretary of

anyone associated with the former ruling party of the regions instilling fear is now a tactic for those who claimed to be peacefully demonstrating putting a critic of forms it into goes on to. meanwhile the new cabinet has been sworn in in the ukrainian capital let's now take a look at some of the people assuming key positions in power now well the deputy prime minister also happens to be second in command of the all to rights for border party notorious for rhetoric that often includes nazi like and semitic and then a phobic slogans also from is the new ecology minister he's known for promoting open access to firearms but not known for having any expertise on ecology the new national security secretary is actually the founder of that party he also took part in the orange revolution in ukraine a decade ago education minister has in the past promoted academic censorship is also a member of another far right group and the new anti corruption bureau chief is a supporter of the radical right national defense of ukraine party and the interior minister spent some time on interpol's wanted list and was briefly detained in italy back in two thousand and twelve for allegedly stealing half a million dollars worth of state land well in southern ukraine the majority of the population in crimea is refusing to recognize the new authorities in kiev when a key figure in the coup arrived in simferopol he was driven away by an angry crowd now this video shows him being blocked from entering the parliament by local protesters the security officers to step in and help him get back to his car and leave people in the mostly russian speaking region say that they fear an influx of ultra nationalist squads fresh from their role in the uprising and as a result self-defense groups have taken control of two airport. reports from. these people don't have any identification signs on them but they've now became known here as of the self defense brigade teams themselves see that they're protecting the local population from any possible extremists threats which may come from the new authorities in kiev as they have secured the local palm and building the. they are allowing deputies in and out and they are able to work in an orderly fashion now also they are patrolling the local airport here in the capital of the crimea and are saying that the main purpose of of their stay there is to protect the locals and prevent any conflicts from happening let's listen to what one of these people there at the airport had to say. my name is one of the mirror and we represent the crimean militia the airport and its services are operating normally as reports that it was seized by unknown people well everyone knows us we are crimean all militia unit consists of workers retired officers and pensioners all goal is to prevent radical and fascist elements from ukraine come in here and carry now extremist provocations that's why we the civilian population of crimea came together to prevent the arrival of different politicians both russian and ukrainian who would escalate tensions in ukraine no one paid us to come here we came here of our own free will. in the meantime scores of people have been taking part for the past few days in pro russian rallies in the center of the crimean capital they do not recognize the authorities came to power there in kiev as the legitimate authority those are the power of ukraine and the local palm and also set the date for a referendum to be held in the crimea which suggests should decide whether or not the republic should have even more autonomy from kiev now we've also heard from ousted president viktor yanukovych who commented on the situation in the crimea saying that what's happening here now is a natural reaction to what happened in kiev but also heard from the russian foreign ministry which has been contacted by the authorities in kiev who asked to discuss with them the situation here in south in ukraine and while moscow answered saying that the crimea and what's happening here is an internal political problem for ukraine and they're not. to intervene in the situation. but if you want to know more about the conflict in crimea especially have a russian speaking population feels about the new authorities in the capital look for our. reports on our website. the un security council to discuss the ukrainian crisis after a request from the self-appointed government in kiev that the united nations assess the threat to the country's territorial integrity or is going to report on what's likely to happen at the un. we hear from a u.n. spokesperson that security council members will hold quote unquote a private meeting to discuss ukraine the u.n. official did not elaborate who exactly is attending the meeting but the world the word private indicates that we should not expect official statements from the u.n. on ukraine at this point earlier the new decision makers in kiev have asked the u.n. security council to put the situation in crimea on their agenda and to help protect ukraine's territorial integrity whether or not kiev actually expects the u.n. to participate in the power crisis in ukraine we see an attempt by kiev to present itself as a legitimate government even though there have been no elections yet also an attempt to get some international support in putting pressure on the people of crimea to to give up their protest and succumb to these new decision makers in kiev now all u.n. security council members vowed to protect and to respect ukraine's territorial integrity but kiev is considering the option of declaring a state of emergency in crimea and potentially cracking down on the protesters there washington has focused all its attention on moscow issuing warnings against into fearing we heard secretary kerry. say everybody needs to step back and avoid provocations this position somewhat conflicts with washington's very hands on approach to my down riots so when he was my dani was about legitimate aspirations of ukrainian people now that it's a different part of ukraine western politicians tend to focus on the issue of territorial integrity and international long washington has put so much support in gear behind my don that perhaps it's not surprising that you don't hear much about the legitimate aspirations and the will of the people living in crimea or in other parts of ukraine that have not supported the takeover of power in kiev. munro report of a foreign policy in focus underlines what he says is the hypocrisy of the western media in its coverage of the crimea protests i think the degree of hypocrisy as well as double standard really a place here i mean i find his really erotic almost a comedy of errors in the way we're. right now has really been erected and people start demonstrating in power there were definitely very strong voices of the part of the other called the government to really have a suppressed or you know even using violence in order to make the ball and now when the something similar is happening currently a world people are i think in my opinion addressing their legitimate political interests and grievances in order to protect themselves the right to speak their own language then the media kind of turns around and basically states well there are separate is there are the extremists the military groups that you know also assuming that maybe there are special russian special forces involved there is the different degree of some kind of political bias taking place here we're. which i think also brings that because a lot of parker see as well as contradiction in the way how western media itself really has been covering this conflict just from the beginning i would say. naughties crew is following the situation in crimea and keeping updated via twitter the latest pictures our producers posted from the city of sanford ople where people stay on the central square to protest against the new authorities in kiev. nato has expressed concern over snap military drills being staged by russia there's been widespread speculation in western media that moscow could intervene in ukraine despite russia insisting the exercises were pre-planned and nothing to do with the situation just across the border has been following the headlines. if you've read the paper or watched the news these last few days it would be understandable if you're feeling a little anxious after all just look at these headlines russia flexes its military muscle groups and all those militaries are to readiness and the us wants russia not intervene now to someone out of the loop it all sounds like a bad plot from a very bad world war three movie what's worse it's not just the ad revenue hungry news outlets peddling this it's western defense ministers and even nature now the alliances that russia is holding is holding military exercises now is of being provocative irresponsible and according to some of its members even dangerous a serious charge by any measure except one that later and its members don't take very seriously when it comes to their own gains in fact need to drill so often appeared to be as much a political message as a matter of readiness and you certainly don't have to look very far for those examples in two thousand and twelve at the height of the iranian u.s. nuclear program stand of washington stage what was the biggest naval war game almost within viewing distance from the iranian beaches now the next year the u.s. invited forty one countries battleships aircraft carriers and submarines to play pretend war on iran's doorsteps last november as china and japan verge on armed conflict over disputed areas islands the u.s. launches its admirable drills with turkey zero now one so that by pure coincidence as as washington syria lated an island capture let's not forget the u.s. nuclear bombers flying through space in china controversially claimed as its own that was also by the way described as an under lated force exercised by the u.s. now only in korea where nuclear rhetoric between the south and north was at fever pitch the u.s. . put its contingent on alert and again held drills aimed. at countering nor the rain aggression now all these examples just from the paused few yet so perhaps mr reza must send that u.s. defense secretary chuck hagel may not want to be may want to be a little bit most subtle when it comes to them criticizing other countries holding military drills as specially when they're happening in their own territory general video john wrobel says that he's seen evidence that opposition members in kiev's independence square had been given way to equipment and were paid a daily wage meddling has been. their forte i mean we started because of all we saw in libya. syria the planet saying these people are very creative if you look at this so-called opposition in ukraine it's all young men. obviously very very very aggressive as far as i understand it russian i have. a very well. i have sources that said they have nato chants and. we've seen quotes of you know where there are actually there's a union right you know with the nazi. which if you want to read this only way to call it or. certainly. now they are normally they have different goals but they have one common enemy right now and that is the russian speaking population of ukraine. get a full briefing on the unfolding crisis in ukraine from how it started to how it might end we've got a dedicated online team
