a Nigerian American designer while you're

fever how to live and declining community
00:24:30
every time we've gone out casting into
00:24:32
a group of migrants we've pulled out people
who are not only physically gorgeous
00:24:38
but they have incredible stories an incredible
depth and intelligence to them that
00:24:42
generally has not been regarded by society
the designer believes that even if you
00:24:47
come from
00:24:47
a marginalized society there is no reason
not to feel proud about who you are and
00:24:54
where you come from and seen yourself and
promising bold and regal images can help
00:25:00
you in the society that surrounds you
respect you for me it's kind of almost
00:25:05
a social experiment on the idea of the bias
he's we hold against people and how we
00:25:10
treat each other differently based on the
way that our exterior appearances are and
00:25:14
so when I put these migrants who are just
regular people including it's striking
00:25:19
all of us. We stop and we look we see them

President Donald Trump assailed Democratic
lawmakers on Tuesday for opening
00:29:16
a wide ranging investigation of him
and his administration calling it
00:29:20
a big fat fishing expedition in search of
00:29:23
a crime the president contended the Democrats
in the House of Representatives who
00:29:28
on Monday demanded documents from 81
people and entities linked to his 2016
00:29:33
campaign his businesses and his 2 year old
tenure as president in his words have
00:29:39
gone stone cold crazy he said letters looking
for information were sent to innocent
00:29:44
people to harass them later at the
White House the president said the
00:29:49
investigations are the result of Democratic
disappointment at losing in 2016.
00:29:56
Ministration has done its 1st here's what
the trumpet ministration has done so what
00:30:01
the Democrats want to do they cannot stand
00:30:05
a loss they cannot stand losing in 2016
the House Judiciary Committee said it is
00:30:10
investigating whether Trump has obstructed
justice to thwart probes of him as well
00:30:15
as possible public corruption and abuses
of power during his presidency my
00:30:20
colleague Jim Lou. Vio ways Congressional
Correspondent Catherine Gyptian about the
00:30:25
investigations and what they could mean
for the Trump presidency Well the most
00:30:30
basic answer to that is that the u.s.
00:30:32
Congress has oversight responsibilities
they have oversight responsibilities over
00:30:38
the executive branch over the president the
United States they have this ability to
00:30:42
look into whether or not he committed
crimes so you know when they hear the
00:30:48
president say that I know that House
Democrats will be pushing back against that
00:30:52
assertion from the White House
they will say that this is not
00:30:56
a fishing expedition that this is part of
what they need to do to determine if the
00:31:01
President Trump has any connections to
overseas entities if he's fulfilling his
00:31:06
duties as president because of those
connections because his family might have
00:31:11
business connections Now usually when
investigations like this happen they do turn
00:31:17
out to be wide ranging you
need to build a picture of
00:31:20
a person's business connections their
personal connections and that can end up
00:31:25
seeming like
00:31:25
a fishing expedition that's what happened
in the case of President Clinton where
00:31:30
one element was initially investigated and
then it connected to other elements so
00:31:35
it'll be really interesting to see how
that plays out in what Democrats do to
00:31:40
connect the dots on this investigation also
what specific crimes are they alleging
00:31:45
that he has committed Well they are
alleging that he committed crimes per se so
00:31:50
much as saying that they want additional
information on his business dealings on
00:31:56
his connections with Russia remember the
Moeller investigation is only looking at
00:32:00
one narrow range of issues that trump
campaign connections with Russia this is
00:32:07
much bigger this is looking at the so-called
hush money payment to Stormy Daniels
00:32:13
whether that violated campaign finance
00:32:16
a number of other issues that they'll be
looking at also what types of document.
00:32:21
It's are they demanding at this point
they're looking into all sorts of campaign
00:32:26
finance you know the hush money check
still looking at business dealings tax
00:32:31
returns
00:32:32
a whole range of documents also many
supporters are saying that Congress really has
00:32:38
done done nothing else but investigate
President from since he's been in office and
00:32:42
should be working more towards working for
the people of the country so what what
00:32:48
else are they doing and what are people
what are Democrats and to this well it's an
00:32:52
interesting week for that criticism to
come up because Democrats are actually
00:32:56
putting their signature piece
of legislation on the floor for
00:32:59
a vote this week and that's
what they're calling h.r.
00:33:02
One the people's Act which is addressing
00:33:04
a range of issues campaign financing
ethics voting rights things that they said
00:33:11
they heard from voters on the midterm
campaign trail concerns people have about the
00:33:16
state of American democracy and whether
American voters can believe in their
00:33:21
elected officials you'll hear
00:33:22
a lot of pushback from Democrats on that
criticism this week and also what has this
00:33:28
been done to any other president. Of
investigation or will there are certainly
00:33:33
other times where the u.s.
00:33:36
Congress has looked into presidents namely
during the Watergate investigation but
00:33:41
in terms of the scope this is certainly new
this is certainly new historic this is
00:33:47
historic and it will be very interesting
to see because we're not used to having
00:33:51
a president who will come out fighting so
openly on Twitter all of the social media
00:33:56
is so new it will be really interesting
to see what that means that interplay
00:34:00
between the presidency on the u.s.
00:34:02
Congress that's for you always come Lewisham

country the kinds of things that are happening
right now are deeply troubling to me
00:35:42
leave gotten not just polarized we've
gotten into really opposing camps unlike
00:35:47
anything I've ever seen in my adult life
00:35:51

Military commander in Europe says the United
States needs more firepower and focus
00:37:26
to push back against ever increasing Russian
aggression across Europe and beyond in
00:37:31
testimony before the Senate Armed Services
Committee on Tuesday European Command's
00:37:36
General Curtis skep Iraq he called Russia
the primary threat to stability in Europe
00:37:42
he recommended the United States boost
the number of troops it deploys to the
00:37:46
continent on both
00:37:47
a permanent and rotational basis
while the United States maintains
00:37:52
a global military superiority over Russia
evolving Russian capabilities threaten to
00:37:57
erode our competitive military advantage
challenge your ability to operate
00:38:01
uncontested in all domains and diminish
your ability to deter Russian aggression in
00:38:07
light of Russia's modernizing increasingly
aggressive force posture EUCOM
00:38:11
recommends augmenting our side in your
occasional forces to enhance our deterrence
00:38:15
. EUCOM also recommends for the rich
and investments that enhance European
00:38:20
logistical infrastructure and
capacity to support rapid deployment
00:38:24
a multi 2 main us forces in Europe General
said he was particularly concerned about
00:38:31
insufficient intelligence and
surveillance capabilities as well as
00:38:35
a shrinking advantage on the high seas if
we were in the if we want to it remain
00:38:41
dominant in the maritime domain and
particularly under sea which we aren't Today
00:38:47
we've got to continue to modernize and I
think we need to build our capacity so
00:38:51
certificate for destroyers e.s.i.
00:38:53
They asked for for 2 more destroyers with
00:38:55
a new car Scaparrotti told
lawmakers that the u.s.
00:38:59
Military has been working closely with
European allies including Poland Romania
00:39:05
Bulgaria and the Baltic nations to develop
the right capabilities to counter
00:39:10
Moscow's aggression. We've worked with
around allies in the Baltics Poland Romania
00:39:16
Bulgaria and along the eastern border.
On what we've learned and also on the
00:39:20
capabilities that we think we need as an
alliance both of them and us in order to
00:39:25
to deter this in our 1st perspective is
what do we do today to ensure that Russia
00:39:30
fully understands the commitment of
Article 5 for an alliance in his prepared
00:39:35
testimony on Tuesday General scalper Roddie
also said strong consideration is being
00:39:40
given to find more ways to support Ukraine
says 2014 when Russia invaded Ukraine
00:39:45
and annexed Crimea the us has given Kiev
more than $1000000000.00 worth of military
00:39:51
assistance though the vast majority of
it has been on lethal to date the lone
00:39:56
exception has been shipments of javelin
missiles which started last April following
00:40:01
authorizations by President Donald Trump
and the Us Congress the commander of u.s.
00:40:06
Forces in Europe cautioned that while
Russia is strengthening its military might
00:40:10
the biggest threat comes from the Kremlin's
devotion to information warfare and he
00:40:16
raised concerns that Washington's response
in that arena is lacking the thing it's
00:40:22
difficult is not necessarily an actual
attack that you can see coming it's actually
00:40:26
that kind of subversive undermining of
both the Nations authority the nation
00:40:33
one of the nations that they're undermining
which is what they do and other
00:40:37
elements of power that aren't necessarily
military the military would be one of the
00:40:40
last that they want to use u.s.
00:40:42
Lawmakers Tuesday also
raised concerns about
00:40:46
a possible nuclear arms race with Russia
with both President Donald Trump and
00:40:51
Russian President Vladimir Putin announcing
last month they are withdrawing from
00:40:56
the Intermediate Range Nuclear
Forces Treaty the u.s.
00:41:00
And its European allies accuse Moscow of
violating the terms of the treaty which
00:41:04
prohibited ballistic and ground
launched cruise missiles with
00:41:08
a range of 502-5500 kilometers
since at least 2014.

The u.s.
00:41:16
Special representative for Venezuela says
it's hard to see President Nicolas Maduro
00:41:21
really having a role to
play in the building of
00:41:24
a democratic Venezuela speaking at the
State Department in Washington on Tuesday
00:41:29
Elliott Abrams said that the embattled
president had presided over the economic
00:41:34
decline and human rights violations in
Venezuela it's very hard I would say for
00:41:41
me to see how
00:41:43
a dictator such as My girl who has committed
so many crimes against the people of
00:41:50
Venezuela who is so deeply responsible
for the human rights violations for the
00:41:56
decline in Venezuela's economic
situation. Can really have
00:42:01
a role to play in the building of a
democratic Venezuela Abrams said that u.s.
00:42:06
Policy is not changed toward the oil rich
nation and that if Madeira wanted to play
00:42:11
a role in forming
00:42:13
a democratic government he could have
done that long ago if he wanted to build
00:42:18
a democratic Venezuela he had the opportunity
to do so but he did not. So you know
00:42:24
we'll. We will leave such decisions.
To Venezuelans in every democratic
00:42:30
transition in Latin America.
There are negotiations. But I
00:42:37
would just say it's it's extremely
difficult to see how he could play
00:42:41
a positive role in any democratic
election when asked about any military
00:42:48
measures the United States has prepared to
assist National Assembly leader. And his
00:42:53
stance in Venezuela special envoy Abrams
repeated the trumpet ministrations
00:42:58
position that all options are on the
table. And we have lots of steps that
00:43:05
we can take that will affect for example
the economy. The financial system
00:43:13
that will affect members of the. Regime.
Steps along the lines that we have taken
00:43:19
in the past but tougher. And we
discussed them internally and there
00:43:26
they are ready if we need to use them
against the regime however Abrams did stop
00:43:33
short of saying the United States was ready
to intervene militarily in Venezuela.
00:43:40
Nobody's talking about American military
steps except the regime and the Russians
00:43:46
actually. I made it clear
repeatedly our policy is as I just
00:43:53
stated diplomatic political
economic financial pressure. Moving
00:44:00
toward
00:44:00
a peaceful democratic transition in Venezuela
that's what we want that's what our
00:44:06
policy is determined to achieve the special
envoy said that President Trump always
00:44:11
says that all options are on the table
because all options remain open but that
00:44:16
military intervention is in his words
not the path that we choose to go down
00:44:23
Venezuela is gripped by a humanitarian
crisis that is expected to worsen as u.s.
00:44:28
Oil sanctions designed to put more pressure
on President Maduro take their toll on
00:44:34
the United States and about 50 other
countries have recognized as the legitimate
00:44:39
leader of Venezuela they have urged him
battled President Maduro who is backed by
00:44:45
Russia and China both members of the u.n.
00:44:48

Venezuela can prepare for elections. Left

00:48:03

it's just hard to fathom that something
00:48:09
can be this powerful of

a track through the county so we're sorry
for one's loss Alabama governor k. I.v.
00:48:16

be visiting those hit hardest by the

storm it's been a tragic situation but
00:48:30
a lot of good work is being done we've been
in constant touch with the governor and
00:48:35
also the governor of Georgia and. So I
will be going to the area earlier this
00:48:42
week the president said he had told the
Federal Emergency Management Agency or Fema
00:48:47
to give a plus treatment to Alabama in
the wake of the tornadoes. And h.i.v.
00:48:53
Positive man in Britain has become just the
2nd person known to be cleared of the.
00:48:59
Virus the man received
00:49:01
a bone marrow transplant from an HIV resistant
donor just like the only other adult
00:49:07
who was cleared of age 12 years ago they
always Carol Pearson reports scientists
00:49:13
have been searching for
00:49:14
a cure for HIV Aids for close to 40 years
the director of un aids called the news
00:49:21
that a man in London has been
functionally cured of HIV
00:49:25
a breakthrough Steffane do yaar
it's a spokesman for the u.n.
00:49:29
Secretary general made the announcement
the breakthrough gives us great hope for
00:49:34
the future but also shows how far we are
from the point of ending Aids was science
00:49:39
as well as the absolute importance
to continue to focus on
00:49:42
a charge of prevention treatment
after. The London man is h. I.v.
00:49:47
Free after receiving a stem cell
transplant from a donor with
00:49:51
a rare genetic mutation that made him
resistant to HIV his cancer has also gone
00:49:58
into remission Professor Rivendell Gupta
at University College London said the man
00:50:04
is now off aids medication we waited
16 months before stopping. In the
00:50:12
period just to make sure that. The cancer
was in remission the patient was well and
00:50:18
that the measures we had of the h.
00:50:20
Of the reservoir in the body showed that
there was very very little virus there if
00:50:24
if any at all good to hesitates to call it
00:50:27
a cure but this is the 2nd patient to
show no signs of the HIV virus after
00:50:33
a similar stem cell transplant The 1st was
an American treated in Berlin 12 years
00:50:40
ago Dr Rowena Johnston director of
research at am far the foundation for Aids
00:50:47
Research says this 2nd success is significant
we now have reason to believe that
00:50:53
the Berlin patient was not
00:50:54
a one off case meaning it is possible to
nearly only. Even completely eliminate
00:51:01
HIV from the body of an infected person
just like the Berlin patient says the
00:51:06
British man who is being called the London
patient also received stem cells from
00:51:12
a donor with a rare
mutated gene called c c
00:51:16
r 5 the transplants those cells
into somebody who already has
00:51:20
a child you may protect yourself from from
infection 737000000 people across the
00:51:27
globe have HIV but stem
cell treatment is not
00:51:31
a practical cure 1st the donor has to be
tissue matched plus the donor has to have
00:51:37
the mutated gene and then there's the
procedure itself which is painful and risky
00:51:44
Dr Sarah fiddler is
00:51:45
a professor for HIV medicine at
Imperial College London she says
00:51:51
a bone marrow transplant would be too
dangerous for patients who are healthy and
00:51:56
taking a daily pill to treat HIV having
a bone marrow transplantation is
00:52:01
a very complicated process it requires an
entire new set of cells to be taken into
00:52:07
and the person who's having
treatment and that again is
00:52:11
a process where whilst those cells are
invading your various at risk of getting
00:52:16
infections and potentially dying both
patients who are being treated for cancer and
00:52:21
had no option but to try the risky procedure
scientists will continue to search for
00:52:27
other ways to cure HIV but now they
know it can be cured Carol Pearson

it's only to make a
living it's like you're
00:55:41
a gambler you're kind of waiting for
this gold and he had to get the ring and
00:55:47
a couple of times I've had what I call
Hollywood moments where like under siege 2
00:55:53
with Stevenson call I was going through
a divorce of the time and I was in
00:55:57
a relatively down right now I think I was
down to 50 bucks and so my agent called
00:56:03
and said they're going to they want to hire
you for this under siege into Colorado
00:56:09
and this offer of the role in the Rocky
Mountain thriller put Kilpatrick back in

the game he has played opposite John Claude
Van Damme Chalion fat and nearly every
00:56:20
action starred as Army privates and generals

starting out as the be
cop Kilpatrick is also
00:56:31
a writer and has chronicled
his life in Hollywood in
00:56:35
a book he says at times his writing
skills have allowed him to expand his
00:56:40
characters and that any actor who starts
out is going to be have some pretty not so
00:56:45
great films they're not can be the pinnacle
of cinematic dark so it's really good
00:56:51
to be able to write sure own lives
and. Create your own stuff and
00:56:56
a lot of times I've been hired as
00:56:57
a fug but they get to. As for mine at
$69.00 Kilpatrick consults with the young
00:57:03
filmmakers and continues to act but says
that will end one day in the business uses
00:57:10
you until you're done. So you better be
prepared for that and that can be pretty
00:57:17
abysmal in
00:57:17
a pretty dark place if your whole being
is based on. Writing or whatever it
00:57:24
is because you're going to it's going to
end. But along the way he says it's been

President Donald Trump assailed Democratic
lawmakers on Tuesday for opening
00:29:16
a wide ranging investigation of him
and his administration calling it
00:29:20
a big fat fishing expedition in search of
00:29:23
a crime the president contended the Democrats
in the House of Representatives who
00:29:28
on Monday demanded documents from 81
people and entities linked to his 2016
00:29:33
campaign his businesses and his 2 year old
tenure as president in his words have
00:29:39
gone stone cold crazy he said letters looking
for information were sent to innocent
00:29:44
people to harass them later at the
White House the president said the
00:29:49
investigations are the result of Democratic
disappointment at losing in 2016.
00:29:56
Ministration has done its 1st here's what
the trumpet ministration has done so what
00:30:01
the Democrats want to do they cannot stand
00:30:05
a loss they cannot stand losing in 2016
the House Judiciary Committee said it is
00:30:10
investigating whether Trump has obstructed
justice to thwart probes of him as well
00:30:15
as possible public corruption and abuses
of power during his presidency my
00:30:20
colleague Jim Lou. Vio ways Congressional
Correspondent Catherine Gyptian about the
00:30:25
investigations and what they could mean
for the Trump presidency Well the most
00:30:30
basic answer to that is that the u.s.
00:30:32
Congress has oversight responsibilities
they have oversight responsibilities over
00:30:38
the executive branch over the president the
United States they have this ability to
00:30:42
look into whether or not he committed
crimes so you know when they hear the
00:30:48
president say that I know that House
Democrats will be pushing back against that
00:30:52
assertion from the White House
they will say that this is not
00:30:56
a fishing expedition that this is part of
what they need to do to determine if the
00:31:01
President Trump has any connections to
overseas entities if he's fulfilling his
00:31:06
duties as president because of those
connections because his family might have
00:31:11
business connections Now usually when
investigations like this happen they do turn
00:31:17
out to be wide ranging you
need to build a picture of
00:31:20
a person's business connections their
personal connections and that can end up
00:31:25
seeming like
00:31:25
a fishing expedition that's what happened
in the case of President Clinton where
00:31:30
one element was initially investigated and
then it connected to other elements so
00:31:35
it'll be really interesting to see how
that plays out in what Democrats do to
00:31:40
connect the dots on this investigation also
what specific crimes are they alleging
00:31:45
that he has committed Well they are
alleging that he committed crimes per se so
00:31:50
much as saying that they want additional
information on his business dealings on
00:31:56
his connections with Russia remember the
Moeller investigation is only looking at
00:32:00
one narrow range of issues that trump
campaign connections with Russia this is
00:32:07
much bigger this is looking at the so-called
hush money payment to Stormy Daniels
00:32:13
whether that violated campaign finance
00:32:16
a number of other issues that they'll be
looking at also what types of document.
00:32:21
It's are they demanding at this point
they're looking into all sorts of campaign
00:32:26
finance you know the hush money check
still looking at business dealings tax
00:32:31
returns
00:32:32
a whole range of documents also many
supporters are saying that Congress really has
00:32:38
done done nothing else but investigate
President from since he's been in office and
00:32:42
should be working more towards working for
the people of the country so what what
00:32:48
else are they doing and what are people
what are Democrats and to this well it's an
00:32:52
interesting week for that criticism to
come up because Democrats are actually
00:32:56
putting their signature piece
of legislation on the floor for
00:32:59
a vote this week and that's
what they're calling h.r.
00:33:02
One the people's Act which is addressing
00:33:04
a range of issues campaign financing
ethics voting rights things that they said
00:33:11
they heard from voters on the midterm
campaign trail concerns people have about the
00:33:16
state of American democracy and whether
American voters can believe in their
00:33:21
elected officials you'll hear
00:33:22
a lot of pushback from Democrats on that
criticism this week and also what has this
00:33:28
been done to any other president. Of
investigation or will there are certainly
00:33:33
other times where the u.s.
00:33:36
Congress has looked into presidents namely
during the Watergate investigation but
00:33:41
in terms of the scope this is certainly new
this is certainly new historic this is
00:33:47
historic and it will be very interesting
to see because we're not used to having
00:33:51
a president who will come out fighting so
openly on Twitter all of the social media
00:33:56
is so new it will be really interesting
to see what that means that interplay
00:34:00
between the presidency on the u.s.

Military commander in Europe says the United
States needs more firepower and focus
00:37:26
to push back against ever increasing Russian
aggression across Europe and beyond in
00:37:31
testimony before the Senate Armed Services
Committee on Tuesday European Command's
00:37:36
General Curtis skep Iraq he called Russia
the primary threat to stability in Europe
00:37:42
he recommended the United States boost
the number of troops it deploys to the
00:37:46
continent on both
00:37:47
a permanent and rotational basis
while the United States maintains
00:37:52
a global military superiority over Russia
evolving Russian capabilities threaten to
00:37:57
erode our competitive military advantage
challenge your ability to operate
00:38:01
uncontested in all domains and diminish
your ability to deter Russian aggression in
00:38:07
light of Russia's modernizing increasingly
aggressive force posture EUCOM
00:38:11
recommends augmenting our side in your
occasional forces to enhance our deterrence
00:38:15
. EUCOM also recommends for the rich
and investments that enhance European
00:38:20
logistical infrastructure and
capacity to support rapid deployment
00:38:24
a multi 2 main us forces in Europe General
said he was particularly concerned about
00:38:31
insufficient intelligence and
surveillance capabilities as well as
00:38:35
a shrinking advantage on the high seas if
we were in the if we want to it remain
00:38:41
dominant in the maritime domain and
particularly under sea which we aren't Today
00:38:47
we've got to continue to modernize and I
think we need to build our capacity so

certificate for destroyers e.s.i.
00:38:53
They asked for for 2 more destroyers with
00:38:55
a new car Scaparrotti told
lawmakers that the u.s.
00:38:59
Military has been working closely with
European allies including Poland Romania
00:39:05
Bulgaria and the Baltic nations to develop
the right capabilities to counter
00:39:10
Moscow's aggression. We've worked with
around allies in the Baltics Poland Romania
00:39:16
Bulgaria and along the eastern border.
On what we've learned and also on the
00:39:20
capabilities that we think we need as an
alliance both of them and us in order to
00:39:25
to deter this in our 1st perspective is
what do we do today to ensure that Russia
00:39:30
fully understands the commitment of
Article 5 for an alliance in his prepared
00:39:35
testimony on Tuesday General scalper Roddie
also said strong consideration is being
00:39:40
given to find more ways to support Ukraine
says 2014 when Russia invaded Ukraine
00:39:45
and annexed Crimea the us has given Kiev
more than $1000000000.00 worth of military
00:39:51
assistance though the vast majority of
it has been on lethal to date the lone
00:39:56
exception has been shipments of javelin
missiles which started last April following
00:40:01
authorizations by President Donald Trump
and the Us Congress the commander of u.s.
00:40:06
Forces in Europe cautioned that while
Russia is strengthening its military might
00:40:10
the biggest threat comes from the Kremlin's
devotion to information warfare and he
00:40:16
raised concerns that Washington's response
in that arena is lacking the thing it's
00:40:22
difficult is not necessarily an actual
attack that you can see coming it's actually
00:40:26
that kind of subversive undermining of
both the Nations authority the nation
00:40:33
one of the nations that they're undermining
which is what they do and other
00:40:37
elements of power that aren't necessarily
military the military would be one of the
00:40:40
last that they want to use u.s.
00:40:42
Lawmakers Tuesday also
raised concerns about
00:40:46
a possible nuclear arms race with Russia
with both President Donald Trump and
00:40:51
Russian President Vladimir Putin announcing
last month they are withdrawing from
00:40:56
the Intermediate Range Nuclear
Forces Treaty the u.s.
00:41:00
And its European allies accuse Moscow of
violating the terms of the treaty which
00:41:04
prohibited ballistic and ground
launched cruise missiles with
00:41:08
a range of 502-5500 kilometers
since at least 2014.

Special representative for Venezuela says
it's hard to see President Nicolas Maduro
00:41:21
really having a role to
play in the building of
00:41:24
a democratic Venezuela speaking at the
State Department in Washington on Tuesday
00:41:29
Elliott Abrams said that the embattled
president had presided over the economic
00:41:34
decline and human rights violations in
Venezuela it's very hard I would say for
00:41:41
me to see how
00:41:43
a dictator such as My girl who has committed
so many crimes against the people of
00:41:50
Venezuela who is so deeply responsible
for the human rights violations for the
00:41:56
decline in Venezuela's economic
situation. Can really have
00:42:01
a role to play in the building of a
democratic Venezuela Abrams said that u.s.
00:42:06
Policy is not changed toward the oil rich
nation and that if Madeira wanted to play
00:42:11
a role in forming
00:42:13
a democratic government he could have
done that long ago if he wanted to build
00:42:18
a democratic Venezuela he had the opportunity
to do so but he did not. So you know
00:42:24
we'll. We will leave such decisions.
To Venezuelans in every democratic
00:42:30
transition in Latin America.
There are negotiations. But I
00:42:37
would just say it's it's extremely
difficult to see how he could play
00:42:41
a positive role in any democratic
election when asked about any military
00:42:48
measures the United States has prepared to
assist National Assembly leader. And his
00:42:53
stance in Venezuela special envoy Abrams
repeated the trumpet ministrations
00:42:58
position that all options are on the
table. And we have lots of steps that
00:43:05
we can take that will affect for example
the economy. The financial system
00:43:13
that will affect members of the. Regime.
Steps along the lines that we have taken
00:43:19
in the past but tougher. And we
discussed them internally and there
00:43:26
they are ready if we need to use them
against the regime however Abrams did stop
00:43:33
short of saying the United States was ready
to intervene militarily in Venezuela.
00:43:40
Nobody's talking about American military
steps except the regime and the Russians
00:43:46
actually. I made it clear
repeatedly our policy is as I just
00:43:53
stated diplomatic political
economic financial pressure. Moving
00:44:00
toward
00:44:00
a peaceful democratic transition in Venezuela
that's what we want that's what our
00:44:06
policy is determined to achieve the special
envoy said that President Trump always
00:44:11
says that all options are on the table
because all options remain open but that
00:44:16
military intervention is in his words
not the path that we choose to go down
00:44:23
Venezuela is gripped by a humanitarian
crisis that is expected to worsen as u.s.
00:44:28
Oil sanctions designed to put more pressure
on President Maduro take their toll on
00:44:34
the United States and about 50 other
countries have recognized as the legitimate
00:44:39
leader of Venezuela they have urged him
battled President Maduro who is backed by
00:44:45
Russia and China both members of the u.n.
00:44:48

Venezuela can prepare for elections. Left

Management Agency this tornado that
happened on Sunday was on believable of
00:48:03
the
00:48:03
a 470 knots and when you see the devastation
it's just hard to fathom that something
00:48:09
can be this powerful of
00:48:10
a track through the county so we're sorry
for one's loss Alabama governor k. I.v.
00:48:16
Has declared
00:48:16
a state of emergency to provide state
resources to the damaged areas at the White

House President Donald Trump said he would
be visiting those hit hardest by the
00:48:26
storm it's been a tragic situation but
00:48:30
a lot of good work is being done we've been
in constant touch with the governor and
00:48:35
also the governor of Georgia and. So I
will be going to the area earlier this
00:48:42
week the president said he had told the
Federal Emergency Management Agency or Fema
00:48:47
to give a plus treatment to Alabama in
the wake of the tornadoes. And h.i.v.
00:48:53
Positive man in Britain has become just the
2nd person known to be cleared of the.
00:48:59
Virus the man received
00:49:01
a bone marrow transplant from an HIV resistant
donor just like the only other adult
00:49:07
who was cleared of age 12 years ago they
always Carol Pearson reports scientists
00:49:13
have been searching for
00:49:14
a cure for HIV Aids for close to 40 years
the director of un aids called the news
00:49:21
that a man in London has been
functionally cured of HIV
00:49:25
a breakthrough Steffane do yaar
it's a spokesman for the u.n.
00:49:29
Secretary general made the announcement
the breakthrough gives us great hope for
00:49:34
the future but also shows how far we are
from the point of ending Aids was science
00:49:39
as well as the absolute importance
to continue to focus on
00:49:42
a charge of prevention treatment
after. The London man is h. I.v.
00:49:47
Free after receiving a stem cell
transplant from a donor with
00:49:51
a rare genetic mutation that made him
resistant to HIV his cancer has also gone
00:49:58
into remission Professor Rivendell Gupta
at University College London said the man
00:50:04
is now off aids medication we waited
16 months before stopping. In the
00:50:12
period just to make sure that. The cancer
was in remission the patient was well and
00:50:18
that the measures we had of the h.
00:50:20
Of the reservoir in the body showed that
there was very very little virus there if
00:50:24
if any at all good to hesitates to call it
00:50:27
a cure but this is the 2nd patient to
show no signs of the HIV virus after
00:50:33
a similar stem cell transplant The 1st was
an American treated in Berlin 12 years
00:50:40
ago Dr Rowena Johnston director of
research at am far the foundation for Aids
00:50:47
Research says this 2nd success is significant
we now have reason to believe that
00:50:53
the Berlin patient was not
00:50:54
a one off case meaning it is possible to
nearly only. Even completely eliminate
00:51:01
HIV from the body of an infected person
just like the Berlin patient says the
00:51:06
British man who is being called the London
patient also received stem cells from
00:51:12
a donor with a rare
mutated gene called c c
00:51:16
r 5 the transplants those cells
into somebody who already has
00:51:20
a child you may protect yourself from from
infection 737000000 people across the
00:51:27
globe have HIV but stem
cell treatment is not
00:51:31
a practical cure 1st the donor has to be
tissue matched plus the donor has to have
00:51:37
the mutated gene and then there's the
procedure itself which is painful and risky
00:51:44
Dr Sarah fiddler is
00:51:45
a professor for HIV medicine at
Imperial College London she says
00:51:51
a bone marrow transplant would be too
dangerous for patients who are healthy and
00:51:56
taking a daily pill to treat HIV having
a bone marrow transplantation is
00:52:01
a very complicated process it requires an
entire new set of cells to be taken into
00:52:07
and the person who's having
treatment and that again is
00:52:11
a process where whilst those cells are
invading your various at risk of getting
00:52:16
infections and potentially dying both
patients who are being treated for cancer and
00:52:21
had no option but to try the risky procedure
scientists will continue to search for
00:52:27
other ways to cure HIV but now they
know it can be cured Carol Pearson

Mountain thriller put Kilpatrick back in
00:56:14
the game he has played opposite John Claude
Van Damme Chalion fat and nearly every
00:56:20
action starred as Army privates and generals
or the senator or whatever it is from
00:56:28
starting out as the be
cop Kilpatrick is also
00:56:31
a writer and has chronicled
his life in Hollywood in
00:56:35
a book he says at times his writing
skills have allowed him to expand his
00:56:40
characters and that any actor who starts
out is going to be have some pretty not so
00:56:45
great films they're not can be the pinnacle
of cinematic dark so it's really good
00:56:51
to be able to write sure own lives
and. Create your own stuff and
00:56:56
a lot of times I've been hired as
00:56:57
a fug but they get to. As for mine at
$69.00 Kilpatrick consults with the young
00:57:03
filmmakers and continues to act but says
that will end one day in the business uses
00:57:10
you until you're done. So you better be
prepared for that and that can be pretty
00:57:17
abysmal in
00:57:17
a pretty dark place if your whole being
is based on. Writing or whatever it
00:57:24
is because you're going to it's going to
end. But along the way he says it's been
00:57:30
quite
00:57:31
a ride Michael Sullivan
