>> DURING TRUMPS INAUGURATION WEEKEND MILLIONAIRE JOHN JOSEPH
BOSWELL SEXUALLY ABUSED HOTEL MAIDS IN HIS DC HOTEL.
NOW HE
HAS TO PAY A $50 FINE.
THIS IS A PICTURE OF JOHN JOSEPH BOSWELL,
HE IS THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF INDEPENDENT STAVE COMPANY.
THE
VICTIM OF HIS CRIME IS A MADE WHO WE WILL NOT BE NAMING IN
THIS VIDEO.
SHE IS AN AFRICAN IMMIGRANT WHO MAKES ABOUT $20 AN
HOUR, SHE COMMUTES INTO THE CITY TO DO
HER JOB.
HE HAS PLEADED
GUILTY TO THIS, BUT DURING AN INTERVIEW
HE MAINTAINED HIS
INNOCENCE.
>> OH GOD.
>> GIVING UNWANTED SEXUAL GRABBING IS A CLASS C
MISDEMEANOR, AND THE BIGGEST FINE YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT IS
ABOUT $500.
CLEARLY THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU
ARE A RICH WHITE MALE.
>> SO THAT IS ONE FIFTH OF THE MAXIMUM PENALTY.
IT DEPENDS ON
WHAT IT IS.
SOME SOURCES SAY A HUNDRED DOLLARS IS THERE
MAXIMUM.
EITHER WAY, $50 IS THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY
STATISTICALLY AS $100 OR 150 OR
200.
WHY NOT GIVE HIM THE
MAXIMUM?
THIS IS AN
INCONSEQUENTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY
FOR HIM TO PAY.
IF HE IS ALLOWED TO GO TO THE BAHAMAS A WAY TO
GET THROUGH IS TO SAY YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GO ON VACATION.
>> IT IS CONSEQUENTIAL FOR THE FIRST WOMAN, THE DEFENSE
ATTORNEYS WENT TO HER APARTMENT AND AGGRESSIVELY ASKED HER
QUESTIONS.
THEN SHE MOVED, AND ACCORDING TO THE SECOND MAID
CRIES EVERY TIME IT IS BROUGHT UP. AND APPARENTLY IT IS VERY
COMMON IN THIS INDUSTRY.
OVER 50% OF HOTEL MAIDS SAY THEY HAVE
BEEN GROPED OR HAD SEXUAL ADVANCES MADE TOWARD THEM WHILE
ON THE JOB.
THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE WE NEED TO ADDRESS.
CHARGING
SOMEONE $50 FOR TOUCHING SOMEONE'S BUTT WHILE THEY ARE
TRYING TO DO THEIR JOB IS NOT THE WAY WE ARE GOING TO DO THAT.
>> THERE ARE TWO PARTS TO THE STORY.
ONE, THE JUDGE CLEARLY
FELT SYMPATHY FOR HIM.
THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT JUSTICE SYSTEMS.
IF YOU ARE RICH ñ SAYING I WILL GIVE YOU ONE FIFTH OF THE
MAXIMUM IS RUBBING IT IN THE VICTIM'S FACE.
THEN THE
HYPOCRISY OF THESE GUYS.
I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T LIKE
HYPOCRITES, BUT APPARENTLY YOU LIKE THIS ONE. AND SHE WAS
MARRIED WITH THREE YOUNG CHILDREN AT HOME.
WHAT HAPPENED
TO YOUR FAMILY VALUES YOU SCUMBAG?
AND YOU GAVE MONEY TO
TRUMP, A SIMILAR SCUMBAG.

Telltale Signs Scrutinized In UK Explosion | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC - Duration: 8:53.
INFIRMARY. [ NO AUDIO ]
-- AUTHORITIES IN THE UK NOW TELLING NBC NEWS THAT THE
FORENSIC EVIDENCE AT THE SCENE INDICATES THAT WAS A SUICIDE
ATTACK, BRIEF ASIDE ON THAT. WE WERE JUST SPEAKING TO MALCOLM
NANCE ABOUT THAT, SOMEONE IN HIS WORK IN THE MILITARY AND
INTELLIGENCE HAS BEEN PHYSICALLY ON SCENE AT MORE THAN ONE
SUICIDE BOMBING. ONE OF THE THINGS HE WAS
DESCRIBING TO US IS THAT WHEN THERE IS A SUICIDE BOMBER, MORE
OFTEN THAN NOT, THE FORENSIC DETAILING OF THE SCENE WILL ALSO
INCLUDE TELLTALE DANGER TO THE BOMBER'S BODY THAT IS DIFFERENT
THAN THE TYPE OF CARNAGE HE'S ABLE TO INFLICT ON OTHERS, AND
IT'S A GRAPHIC CONSEQUENCE OF THE PHYSICS OF WEARING A BILL OF
INDICTMENT WE'RE TOLD FORENSIC EVIDENCE AT THE SCENE INDICATES
THAT WAS A SUICIDE ATTACK. IN ADDITION A SENIOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICIAL BRIEFED ON THE BRITISH INVESTIGATION SAYS
THEY BELIEVE THEY HAVE TENTATIVELY IDENTIFIED THE
BOMBER. THAT SAID, LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICIALS NOT PROVIDING ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE
IDENTITY OF THE BOMBER, BUT THIS IS U.S. OFFICIALS TELLING NBC
NEWS THIS. WE'VE BEEN BRIEFED BY UK
AUTHORITIES, THE INDICATIONS ARE THEY MAY HAVE AN IDENTIFICATION
FOR THIS ALLEGED SUICIDE BOMBER, BUT THAT'S AS FAR AS WE CAN GO
RIGHT NOW. I WANT TO BRING INTO THE
CONVERSATION A "NEW YORK TIMES" CORRESPONDENT WHO FOCUSES ON AL
QAEDA AND ISIS. THANK YOU FOR COMING IN.
>> MY PLEASURE. >> IT IS OBVIOUSLY EARLY FOR US
TO BE GETTING INDIRECT CORRECT DETAILS OF THIS, LET ALONE ANY
UNDERSTANDING WHO MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU'RE ABLE TO SEE OR REPORT ON IN TERRORIST
CIRCLES ONLINE? >> THE OBVIOUS QUESTION IS THIS
THE ISLAMIC STATE OR AL QAEDA? NEITHER GROUP AT THIS POINT HAS
CLAIMED THIS ATTACK. WHAT WE KNOW FROM PAST ATTACKS
IT TAKES THEM SEVERAL HOURS, SOMETIMES UP TO A DAY TO CLAIM
THEM. IF THE REPORTING IS CORRECT AND
INDEED THIS WAS A SUICIDE BOMBER, AND HE IS NOW DEAD, AND
HE HAPPENS TO BE FROM ONE OF THESE TWO GROUPS, WE WILL EXPECT
A CLAIM OF RESPONSIBILITY. WE'VE SEEN IN THE PAST THAT WHEN
THE ATTACKER'S STILL AT LARGE, ISIS WILL NOT CLAIM IT.
THE SPECULATION AROUND THAT IS THEY DON'T WANT TO COMPLICATE
THAT PERSON'S INVESTIGATION. BUT IF THE REPORTING IS CORRECT
AND THIS PERSON IS NOW DEAD, THEN THAT CLEARS THE PATH FOR
THAT. ONE QUESTION THAT I HAVE IS WHAT
IS THE TYPE OF EXPLOSIVE THAT WAS USED?
AL QAEDA USED A VARIETY OF EXPLOSIVES IN THE TYPES OF
ATTACKS THEY'VE DONE IN EUROP ISIS BY CONTRAST HAS BEEN RATHER
PREDICTABLE. THEY USE SOMETHING CALLEDTATP.
INVESTIGATORS SHOULD KNOW QUICKLY JUST BY TESTING THE
RESIDUE OF THE MATERIAL THAT IS LEFT AT THE SCENE WHETHER IT IS
A PER ROCKS SIDE BASED EXPLOSIVE.
IF THAT IS THE CASE, IN MY MIND, IT RAISES THE PROBABILITY THAT
IT IS ISIS BECAUSE IN SO MANY ATTACKS, THIS IS THE TYPE OF
SIGNATURE THEY'VE LEFT INCLUDING AT THE PARIS ATTACKS, INCLUDING
THE VEV YAY ATTACK AND THE BRUSSELS BOMBING.
>> YOU'RE SAYING ISIS BASICALLY ALWAYS USES TAPTP.
>> IN EUROPE. >> IS IT TRUE OTHER GROUPS DON'T
USE THAT? >> AL QAEDA HAS UNIVERSITY IT,
BUT THEY'RE MUCH MORE VARIED. THEY USE SOMETHING ALL DAY HTMD.
THESE ACK NIMS DON'T MEAN MUCH TO THE VIEWERS, BUT IT WOULD
SUGGEST DIFFERENT COMPOUNDS AND DIFFERENT WAYS OF MAKING THEM.
ISIS SEEMS TO HAVE A KPOET FOR THIS BECAUSE WE'VE SEEN, THEATP
BEING USED OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN WESTERN EUROPE AND THERE'S A
GOOD REASON FOR THAT, WHICH IS THAT TIE ACETONE PER ROCKS SIDE
IS MADE FROM ACETONE AND PER ROCKS SIDE.
>> BOTH EASILY OBTAINABLE THINGS.
AFTER THE ATTACKS WE'VE SEEN IN EUROPE, HAVE THERE BEEN ANY
EFFORTS TO TRY TO PREVENT PEOPLE OR AT LEAST ALERT WHENEVER
PEOPLE BUY THOSE THINGS IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITIES?
>> THAT'S THE PROBLEM. YOU DON'T NEED NORMS QUANTITIES
OF THEM. AND THESE ARE THINGS -- ACETONE
IS USED IN THINGS WE USE IN OUR HOMES.
PER ROCK SIDE IS USED TO MAKE BLOND.
BUT THAT IS WHY IT'S IDEAL FOR USE IN EUROPE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T
SET OFF THE TRIP WIRES THAT OTHER TYPES OF EXPLOSIVE WOULD.
>> ARE YOU SEEING ANYTHING IN TERMS OF CHEERING?
GRATIFICATIONS. >> YES, ENORMOUS CELEBRATIONS,
DISGUSTING TO WASH. THEY'VE CREATED A
HASHTAG #MANCHESTER. THEY'RE REPOSTING THE PAST
THREATS AND POSTERS THEY'VE MADE TARGETING ENGLAND.
WHEN THE PARIS ATTACK HAPPENED, THERE WAS A VIDEO THAT WAS
RELEASED BY THE ATTACKERS THAT SHOWED THEM IN IRAQ AND SYRIA
PLUME BLY CARRYING OUT BEHEADINGS AND OTHER ATROCITIES.
THE NEXT WAS THE UNITED KINGDOM. THAT WAS IN NOVEMBER IN 2015
AND, OF COURSE, NOTHING HAPPENED AFTER THAT.
THAT IS THE PUZZLING THING ABOUT ISIS AND THE UNITED KINGDOM A
VERY LARGE NUMBER OF FIGHTERS ARE FROM THE UK.
JIHADI JOHN WAS BRITISH. BUT WE'VE SEEN FAR LESS ATTACKS
IN BRITAIN THAN WE'VE SEEN, FOR EXAMPLE, IN BELGIUM AND FRANCE.
EVEN THOUGH THE NUMBERS OF FIGHTERS ARE ROUGHLY SIMILAR.
>> IT WAS NOTED EARLIER, I SHOULD TELL YOU WE ARE EXPECTING
A NEWS CONFERENCE FROM MANCHESTER POLICE IN A MOMENT.
THERE IS AN ANNIVERSARY HERE IN TERMS OF BRITISH ATTACKS, THAT
THE LEE RIG BY ATTACK THIS UNBELIEVABLE GRAPHIC ATTACK ON A
BRITISH SOLDIER WHO WAS BEHEADED IN THE MIDDLE OF A STREET ON
CAMERA, THAT WAS MAY 22nd, 2013. OBVIOUSLY WE DON'T KNOW IF
THAT'S SIGNIFICANT. MIGHT BE A COINCIDENCE.
DID THAT STRIKE YOU AS A RELEVANT FACTOR TO LOOK AT IN
TERMS OF ASCERTAINING WHAT HAPPENED?
>> THAT'S A UNIVERSAL WAY IN TERMS OF THE TERROR GROUP WE
KNOW AS ISIS AT LEAST. IN 2013 ISIS HAD NOT YET
DECLARED ITS CALIPHATE, FOR EXAMPLE.
AT THAT POINT AL QAEDA WAS REALLY THE BIG DOG ON THE SCENE.
SO AT THIS POINT COUNTERTERRORISM OFFICIALS THAT
I SPEAK TO SAY ISIS HAS A GREATER CAPABILITY OF CARRYING
OUT THESE ATTACKS THAN AL QAEDA.
CHARLIE HEBDO WAS ISIS. >> WHAT DIRECTION DOES IT EFFECT
ITS ABILITY TO PROJECT FORCE IN EUROPE OUTSIDE ITS BOUNDS OF
TERRITORY THAT IT CONTROLS? >> THE NARRATIVE WE'VE HARDER
OUT OF WASHINGTON AND CAPITALS IN EUROPE AS ISIS' CALIPHATE IS
SHRINKING AND COMING UNDER PRESSURE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO
WASH OUT. THAT SOUND LIKE IT MAKES SENSE,
UNFORTUNATELY THE DATA DOESN'T BACK IT UP BECAUSE THE FIRST
ATTEMPTED ATTACKS IN EUROPE WERE BY FIGHTERS WHO LEFT IRAQ AND
SYRIA LONG BEFORE AIR STRIKES BEGAN.
THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY FOILED ATTACKS BEFORE THEN, AND IN THE
VERY DECLARATION OF THE CALIPHATE, THE SPOKESMAN OF ISIS
SPOKE ABOUT TARGETING THE REST. SO IN MY OPINION THESE TWO
OBJECTIVITIES, HOLDING GROUND, GOVERNING A TERRITORY AND HAIGHT
THE WEST, ARE TWIN GOALS OF THE ISLAMIC STATE AND I DON'T
BELIEVE THERE'S A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PRESSURE THEY'RE
FACING NOW AND ATTEMPTS TO STRIKE OUT.
>> "NEW YORK TIMES" CORRESPONDENT WHO FOCUSES ON AL
QAEDA AND ISIS. NO CLAIMS OF RESPONSIBILITY
HERE. POLICE ARE TREATING THIS AS A
TERRORIST INCIDENT. THE WORKING HYPOTHESIS IS IT WAS
A SUICIDE BOMBER. NO CLAIMS OF RESPONSIBILITY YET,
BUT LOTS OF CELEBRATING AS YOU

Former president Park Geun-hye makes appearance at first hearing in corruption trial - Duration: 2:28.
We start this afternoon at the Seoul Central District Court...
Korea's first-ever impeached president Park Geun-hye, is currently attending her first
trial hearing.
She faces charges of bribery, abuse of power, coercion and leaking government secrets.
This is her first public appearance since her arrest in late March.
Let's connect to our Lee Ji-won who is standing by at the court.
Ji-won,... what do we know so far?
Mark, we are now a bit over two hours into former President Park Geun-hye's first trial
hearing.
When being seated in the courtroom, Park looked straight ahead,... not even taking the slightest
glimpse at her longtime confidante Choi Soon-sil when Choi came into the room.
Choi on the other hand, gave a simple nod to Park.
The two, however did not make eye-contact.
The justices ordered the cameras out once the hearing was about to start.
And as you were saying, this is Park's first public appearance in 53 days since her detention.
It's mandatory for the accused to attend the hearing,... unlike the two preliminary hearings
where Park was remained at the detention center.
The ousted president is facing 18 charges, including receiving or demanding around 53
million U.S. dollars in bribes from conglomerates such as Samsung and Lotte.
But we are hearing that Park has reportedly denied all her charges against her.
Yes,... not really surprising considering that the former president is facing some very
serious charges.... and could face a long stint behind bars if found guilty.
You briefly touched upon Choi Soon-sil being there,... she is the woman at the heart of
the scandal,... but she isn't the only high-profile figure in the dock today...
That's right, Mark.
Park met Choi in the courtroom for the first time, as well as Lotte Group Chairman Shin
Dong-bin.
Choi is charged with receiving bribes, while the Lotte chief Shin is accused of handing
out bribes.
Going back to Choi,... the awkward encounter between her and the former president comes
as the court is set to decide today, whether it will merge Park's bribery trial with Choi's
case,... as their charges largely overlap.
Park's legal team objects to the move as they claim the pair were not colluding with each
other.
When asked whether they wanted a trail by jury,... all three declined.
That's all I have for now.
Back to you Mark.

UN Security Council adopts statement condemning N. Korea's missile test - Duration: 2:29.
The United Nations Security Council has released a press statement condemning North Korea's
latest ballistic missile test.
On Monday, the 15-member council reiterated its vow to impose more biting sanctions on
Pyongyang,... while urging other UN member states to cooperate in efforts to pressure
the regime.
Oh Jung-hee reports.
The UN Security Council has denounced North Korea over its Sunday missile launch and expressed
concern over the regime's "highly destabilizing behavior and flagrant and provocative defiance"
of the world governing body.
The UN statement comes on the eve of a closed-door meeting scheduled to take place later on Tuesday,
at the request of South Korea, the United States and Japan.
North Korea claims it successfully tested an intermediate-range ballistic missile, which
met all technical requirements and is now ready for mass production.
Experts however, say the test did not demonstrate a new capability, although it does appear
to have advanced Pyongyang's aim of developing an ICBM capable of reaching the U.S. mainland.
Ahead of its emergency meeting, the Security Council has vowed to redouble its efforts
to introduce a raft of tough sanctions on the North.
It also urged UN member states to follow its lead, in better enforcing existing sanction
resolutions that have already been adopted by the council.
The United States has been negotiating for weeks with China in particular, in an effort
to bring Pyongyang's ally into the fold, and gain its support in countering North Korea's
provocations.
Nikki Haley, the American ambassador to the UN, said Washington was working closely with
Beijing to draft a new sanction resolution, but no final agreement has been reached as
of yet.
She also fired a warning shot towards Pyongyang, telling the regime not to give the U.S. a
"reason to fight", and that all options still remain on the table.
North Korea's missile launch on Sunday was its second test in the space of a week.
South Korea's liberal government under newly-elected President Moon Jae-in, said it has dashed
hopes of peace on the Korean Peninsula.
Oh Jung-hee, Arirang News.

Japan mulling unilateral secondary sanctions on North Korea - Duration: 0:47.
Japan will reportedly tighten its unilateral sanctions on North Korea, in the face of the
regime's continued ballistic missile launches.
According to Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun, the Japanese government is mulling sanctions on
companies and financial institutions that conduct business transactions with North Korea.
Tokyo is also planning to tighten the monitoring of vessels bound for the North, to prevent
the regime from acquiring materials that could be used to develop nuclear weapons and missiles.
Japan has already banned all imports and exports with North Korea, and is restricting the re-entry
of ethnic-Korean residents in Japan with close ties to the regime.

South Korea seeks to increase civilian-level exchanges while going firm against - Duration: 2:40.
The new South Korean government is looking to engage with North Korea,... despite the
regime's two missile tests in as many weeks.
The unification ministry says that, while Seoul will maintain a tough stance against
provocations,... it will seek opportunities to boost civilian-level exchanges.
Kim Ji-yeon reports.
President Moon Jae-in's policy of engagement seems to be getting into gear.
The unification ministry's spokesperson Lee Duk-haeng said at a regular press briefing
on Monday that the government will seek to boost civilian-level exchanges with Pyongyang,
while responding firmly to its provocations.
"We will continue to respond sternly against North Korea's missile tests and provocations.
But the long-strained relationship between the two Koreas is not right, especially when
we are trying to stabilize the Korean peninsula.
So, the government plans to review major issues between the two Korea with a degree of flexibility.
These will include civilian exchanges... to the extent that they do not violate international
sanctions."
The ministry could decide to allow a number of non-governmental organization to contact
the North and possibly let them visit as well.
During his campaign, President Moon Jae-in had promised a number of non-political inter-Korean
policies such as reopening the Kaesong Industrial Complex, which was shut down over a year ago
due to North Korea's continued provocations.
Moon had also vowed to establish media, social, cultural and sporting exchanges between the
two.
However, because economy-related engagement with the North could violate the UN Security
Council's resolution banning financial dealings with the North, many experts say President
Moon's civilian-level exchanges will be mainly focused on the humanitarian front.
"Despite all these problems created by North Korea, he may be eager to provide humanitarian
assistance for North Korea in huge amounts.
For example its spring, so they [N. Korea] need fertilizer, so for humanitarian purpose,
why don't we begin the supply of fertilizers to North Korea.
Then what about the medical equipments and medicine?
such as infant formula.
Those things can be seriously considered and also be accepted by the general public in
South Korea."
The previous Park Geun-hye administration officially cut off humanitarian assistance
to Pyongyang after it conducted its fourth nuclear test in January of 2016.

Genital Mutilators Cite Religious Freedom - Duration: 8:30.
TWO DETROIT DOCTORS AND ONE OF THEIR WIVES ARE BEING
CHARGED FOR GENITAL MUTILATION IN FEDERAL COURT.
THEY WERE
APPARENTLY DOING GENITAL MUTILATION ON SEVERAL GIRLS AND
THEIR ATTORNEYS ARE RELATING IT IS THERE RELIGIOUS RIGHT TO DO
SO.
THERE DEFENSE LAWYERS ARE PLANNING THIS INTERESTING
ARGUMENT CLAIMING THE DOCTORS DID NOT CUT THE GIRLS.
IF THE
DEFENSE CAN SHOW THE PROCEDURE WAS JUST A NICK, THEY COULD BE
ACQUITTED ON RELIGIOUS GROUNDS.
I AM ON THE VERGE OF TEARS
BECAUSE THIS IS SO WRONG AND INHUMANE.
I WANT OUR COUNTRY TO
HAVE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM BUT THESE ACTS AGAINST HUMANITY NEED TO
TRUMP THAT.
THESE ARE DONE TO SEVEN-YEAR-OLD GIRLS IN AMERICA.
IF IT IS YOUR RELIGION, PRACTICE HOWEVER YOU WANT BUT DON'T DO
THESE AWFUL HORRENDOUS ACTS THAT HAVE LASTING MEDICAL SIDE
EFFECTS AND IS JUST AN EXERTION OF POWER ON WOMEN AND A WAY TO
CONTROL FEMALE SEXUALITY.
IT IS DEVASTATING.
>> IF YOU WANT TO PRACTICE YOUR RELIGION, I DON'T AGREE WITH YOU
BUT GOD BLESS YOUR HEART.
FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGION IS GIVEN TO
US BY THE CONSTITUTION.
IF YOU WANT TO PRIVATELY NOT EAT
SHELLFISH, HAVE AT IT.
BUT YOUR RIGHTS AND WHEN YOU HARM ANOTHER
PERSON.
YOU DON'T HAVE THE FREEDOM OF RELIGION TO HARM
OTHER PEOPLE.
THESE ARE A BALANCING ACTS WHEN IT COMES TO
OUR RIGHTS.
WHEN YOU HARM THEM IT STOPS BEING A RIGHT OF YOURS.
YOU WANT TO BRING YOUR CULTURE HERE, THAT IS WHAT MAKES AMERICA
GREAT.
WE ARE A MELTING POT.
I DON'T AGREE WITH HEADSCARVES BUT
I LOVE THE COUNTRY ALLOWS YOU TO WEAR THEM.
BUT THE MINUTE YOU
TAKE THAT SCALPEL TO THAT POOR GIRL YOU ARE GOING TO JAIL AND I
HOPE YOU GO FOR A LONG TIME.
DON'T TELL ME IT IS YOUR CULTURE
OR RELIGION BECAUSE I DON'T CARE.
THE LAWS APPLY HERE.
AMERICAN LAWS APPLY HERE THAT WE ALL AGREED TO AS A COMMUNITY.
IF
YOU DON'T WANT TO ABIDE THERE IS A THING CALLED PRISON WHERE
YOU BELONG.
>> I WAS READING UP ON THIS PRACTICE.
THERE IS JUST
VARIATION IN IT.
THERE IS A MOTHER JONES ARTICLE WHERE AN
AMERICAN WOMAN SAID THIS HAPPENED ON HER AND THEY TOOK
WHAT IS CALLED A PINCH OF SKIN WHICH THEY COMPARED TO MALE
CIRCUMCISION.
IT DOESN'T AFFECT REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS, IT IS JUST
A RIGHT.
AND THEN THEY GIVE IT TO THE PARENTS AND THEY GO BURY
IT.
ACROSS THE SPECTRUMP IN THIS RELIGIOUS SECT.
THEY TAKE A
RAZOR BLADE IN THE HEATED OVER THE STOVE AND THEN THEY
MUTILATE.
THERE IS NO GOVERNING IDEA.
A LOT OF THEM ARE
MUTILATING BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT THE GIRLS TO BE
PROMISCUOUS.
>> THERE ARE ALL FULL MEDICAL
SIDE EFFECTS INCLUDING TROUBLE
HAVING CHILDREN LATER IN LIFE AND MENSTRUATION.
ESPECIALLY
WHEN THESE THINGS HAPPEN IN AMERICA IT'S HARD FOR PEOPLE TO
EXPLAIN WHY.
ONE OF THE EXPLANATIONS I WAS ABLE TO FIND
IS THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO KEEP SOME OF THEIR CULTURE AND THEY
WANT TO TAKE AWAY SOME OF THE SEXUAL PLEASURE WOMEN HAVE SO
THAT WHEN THEY GO TO THEIR HUSBAND THEY ARE GUARANTEED TO
BE A VIRGIN.
>>WHAT A BIG BENEFIT.
I AM A CULTURAL WARRIOR.
BILL O'REILLY
WARNED YOU ABOUT ME WHEN HE SAID THE SECULAR HUMANISTS WANT TO
CHANGE OUR CULTURE.
I DO.
I WANT TO CHANGE SOME PARTS OF A LOT OF
DIFFERENT CULTURES.
I AM PROUD OF THAT.
I KNOW SOME LIBERALS
DON'T AGREE.
HERE IS A PART OF OUR CULTURE IN AMERICA I
DESPISE, SLAVERY.
THANK GOD WE CHANGED IT.
THAT PART OF OUR
CULTURE SUCKED.
SOME PARTS OF DIFFERENT CULTURES ARE TERRIBLE.
AND SOME NATIONS AND COUNTRIES THEY STILL KIDNAP THEIR BRIDES,
THEN THEY REPAIRED.
THEN HER PARENTS COME OVER AND CONVINCE
HER TO MARRY HER RAPIST.
THAT PART OF YOUR CULTURE SUCKS.
IF
YOUR COUNTRY HAS NOT CHANGED WITH THE TIMES I THINK IT IS
TERRIBLE.
I FEEL TERRIBLE FOR THE WOMEN THAT LIVE THERE AND
THE MEN WHO WERE TAUGHT THAT KIND OF BRUTALITY.

Queen Elizabeth Warns Kate Middleton 'Don't Get Pregnant Again - Duration: 2:14.
Queen Elizabeth and Kate Middleton are feuding again.
This time around, it is for the 34 year old royal�s third pregnancy plans.
The nonagenarian royal is reportedly angry with her grand daughter in law with her future
pregnancy plans.
There is a new speculation that the young royal wants to evade work, including all of
the royal engagements by becoming pregnant, Celebrity Dirty Laundry reports.
On the other hand, the queen wants to see Kate Middleton and Prince William take up
more royal engagements in the future.
The couple has been termed as �work shy� for not attending as much engagements for
their charities as they are expected.
Besides, the couple�s lavish lifestyle including their vacations, use of private jets and selling
of their gifted Range Rover has come under the scanner.
This is not what the queen had in mind when Prince William and Kate Middleton got married.
The royal family is constantly making headlines in tabloids due to the �work shy� attitude
of the couple.
Besides, the queen is not at all happy with Kate�s commoner family and their ways.
Kate�s mom Carole, sister Pippa and brother James are hogging the limelight at the cost
of the queen.
And, now to add to the problem Pippa getting married to James Matthews in 2017 is a bigger
concern.
James� brother his Spencer Matthews, a reality TV star has his share of bad press.
The queen does not want further trouble for the royal family anymore.
Meanwhile, if Kate Middleton�s pregnancy plans happen next year, then it will give
the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge more reason to stay at home.
William unlike his brother Prince Harry does not like to be in the spotlight.
The duchess on the other hand only likes to be seen if she�s around celebrities only.

How To Deal With Stress? ♡ A Quality Life - Duration: 17:32.
Hello everyone
it's Cassie again
aww... look at you, chilling~
hi guys
as you can see I'm no longer under stress today, I'm so happy instead!
not sure if any of you experienced this of the late, but I've been facing a lot of problems all at once
if you believe in Astrology such as I do, you probably would have heard of the term "Mercury Retrograde"
when this happens everything goes backwards, followed by a series of unfortunate events
your plans shatter, your communication fails
so I had been stressed, you guys could see that I lost some weight
thank you guys for sending so much love and care ♡
much love~
I'm really happy today and I also started eating healthily again
today I wanna share with you the things I do in order to relieve stress
to get back on track in no time!
Your future depends on many things, but mostly on you. -- Frank Tyler
First of all, your environment, which is your house
I've heard of this term quite a few times, that is "Tidy room, tidy mind."
when your house is clean your mind becomes clear
not sure if it makes sense when I say it in Vietnamese, that's why I always use English because it makes more sense
but I will try to use more Vietnamese for your understanding
the first thing I would do when I'm under stress is cleaning my house
getting your house in order would help you relieve a lot of stress
to be honest, I'm such an unorganized person
I always leave such a mess in my living space
but luckily I've just made a walk-in closet so I had to clean up things and organize them into this closet
I know for some of you who hate to do housework like me, having to clean the house would only cause more stress
I'm not trying to say that you should do anything that requires too much work
You can just look into a mess and see if there's anything you're not using anymore
One of my tips to clean house is to throw away stuff that I don't need
All the stuff that I haven't touched in a long time, or I haven't been using
I can either give them away, or if they're torn or out of date they can go straight to the trash bin
Only keep those that I still actually want to use
Then my house becomes cleaner and spacier, my mood lifts
I feel that I got my life together, got a hold of my life, and took control over it
When you organize your house, it's like a metaphor that you're organizing your life
The second thing to do when I'm under stress is to spend more "me" time
Besides cleaning your surrounding, take a moment to trace back to your inner self and spend more time with it
in our life we have so many things to pursue, so many responsibilities to take
so when you pursue life
oh God so deep...
you'll feel stressed, and you cannot complete all the tasks that you're set out to do
when you cannot get them well done, you'll feel even more stressed, you'll
*exploding*
that's why spending time for yourself is really important
in this busy life you'll forget to hit pause and take a step back to enjoy your own company
I named it "switching off"
First we switch off our phones
living in a world of technology, it's hard to do switch off your phones or your computers
surfing the internet has become an everyday habit
I counted myself too, since I work on blogs and videos I need to be on my devices most of the time
so switching off is terribly hard
in order to do this I'll think about what else do I enjoy to do besides editing videos and surfing the internet?
back in highschool we called it "outdoor activity"
when I switch off my devices I will do yoga
you can go for a walk, a run, do some exercises but for me, to relax my body I love to do yoga
when you work too hard, you may neglect your body and your body will become too exhausted
when you're tired physically it will affect you mentally, your brain, your thoughts
they both have impacts on each other
Yoga is a great way for you to relax your body
an exercise that helps me a lot in calming myself down
I use an app called "Yoga Studio"
there are different levels, different sets of exercise
depending on what my body needs on a particular day
for example, on days that I feel stressed I would go for relaxation or flexibility
when your body is more flexible your mind will be too, and you'll solve your problems better
when you're under stress you'll feel dispirited, and this feeling is quite annoying
when you have too many things to do but you don't feel like doing them
you just wanna drop everything and be lazy
too bad it's not an option
when I'm uninspired I will look for things that inspire me
it can be reading an inspiring book, a book that helps growing you, teaches you something to become a better person
when you enhance your knowledge you'll become a better version of yourself
and when you feel good about yourself you can deal with other external things
you will find the best solution for all your problems
I also spend about 15~20 minutes a day to meditate
you probably find this strange because I'm kinda young for that
meditation sounds like something only the monks or old people would do
at least that's what I thought before I actually did it
but truly, I think the young people need meditation the most
because when we're young, we have passions, we have dreams, we follow all the external factors
and we forget our inner self
after awhile it'll become a mess inside and put us under stress
in our society young people get stressed a lot
so I suggest you to take at least 5~10 minutes a day to meditate if you're new
calm your soul and then you're figure out the way!
I also like to do home spa
I love home spa because when you do that it means you're taking good care of yourself
and of course your mood will be lifted
having that strength to conquer the world
feel good, good vibe~
one of the things I would do is taking a hot bath
if you have a bath at home I suggest you to use it today
I know a lot of you own one but you might forget to use it since you already have too many things to worry about
you probably don't have time for it, BUT you should really make time for yourself!
to prepare the bath I'm going to use this scented candle from Bath & Body Works
you can get them at Yankee Candle too
and this candle with crystals on it is a gift from Swarovski
candles are a great and simple way to enhance spa feeling at home without too much efforts
I love to have scented candles because they bring scents to your home and they look quite romantic too
I'm going to use this moisturizing coconut mask from Innisfree
music plays an important part in my life, so I'll listen to calming tracks to chill myself out, you can easily find these tracks online
next I'll pop this bath bomb from Lush
this bomb will change the water color, it also smoothes out your skin
done~ these are a few easy steps that I use at home to make it a relaxing spa
so chilled~ it doesn't really differ from the spa does it?
I'm that type of person that would lose appetite under stress
but I would always do skincare and take care of my beauty
because you should stay pretty under any circumstances, whether you're happy, sad or stressed!
whatever it is you must stay gorgeous
when you take care of your beauty, even if you're stressed you won't be even more stressed by looking terrible
Besides everything that I mentioned is a good night sleep
when you're stressed out it's hard to have a good night sleep
all the things that you haven't finished working on, you'd work on them at night when you go to bed
you'll toss and turn and cannot fall asleep
if you don't sleep well you'll become more tired, it adds to your stress
so these are the things I would do at night in order to make sure that I'll sleep well
15 minutes before tucking in, I'll prepare the fragrance oil
fragrance oil brings relaxing scent to your bedroom, makes you wanna go to sleep
you can replace it with scented candles or sprays
then I'll turn on my air purifier, it cleans the air and keeps moisture so that your skin won't dry out
finally I'll turn on my air conditioner
walking into a cold, dark room with calming scent and fresh air, who wouldn't wanna go to bed already?
you should change your cellphone's brightness to night shift
it reduces fluorescent light, helps you better fall asleep
and remember not to use your phone too much on bed because it's a place to sleep
put it aside and get ready for a good night sleep
Last but never least, your mindset
when I'm stressed I only do things that I wanna do
that's the reason why I did last week's haul video
I know there were problems with the lighting, and I was using too much English
to be honest I only wanted to something that didn't require too much efforts since I was already too stressed
hence I made a video that was exactly what I was capable of doing, exactly what I wanted to do
and we should forgive ourselves doing that
it's okay, there will be times that you cannot do things the way you always do
and you still have a long future ahead to keep making it better
therefore it doesn't matter
maybe today you can't do it well, tomorrow you can try again
forgive yourself
don't blame yourself and don't listen to others
don't listen to people telling you what to do
put it aside, do what you wanna do
it's your life, your choice
you get a hold of your life and you have fun with what you do
don't let it stress you out too much
if it's too stressing why would you wanna do it?
you live to be happy, not to be stressed
you should think more for yourself when you're under stress
when I'm stressed I only wanna be myself
the more myself the better
do whatever that I enjoy doing
And I also want you to know that in our life
everything happens for a reason
when I finally understand this I become less stressed
just let it go
*Lindsie singing ♫*
let everything go
when you understand this concept you will feel more at ease, calmer, and know better how to deal with life
because what will be will be
just come at me, I'm ready for you, anytime
At different stages, life challenges are the lessons, the strength that each of us as individual has to acquire
Don't view them as bad stress but make them a GOOD one
which helps you learn, grow, become a better and stronger version of yourself
and most importantly, become happier and more content with life!
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
and after the rain comes the sun ♡
Alright so that's everything I wanna share with you today
I hope that this video would somehow help you go through worries and pain
and remember to treat yourself after feeling well again
eat an awesome meal, go get a massage
Remember all the bad vibes are from here, so fix them here
don't forget to give me a thumbs up guyssssss and please SUBSCRIBE ♡
it's raining today so the lighting wasn't that good, my apology~ (will get a ring light soon)
don't know how to say it in Viet but yah...

The 'Hanging Garden' of Seoul, Seoullo 7017 opens - Duration: 3:53.
South Korea's busy capital has a brand new tourist attraction.
In some sense it's more like a successful transformation.
Instead being discarded, a disused overpass, has been given a new lease in life.
Our Hwang Hojun introduces to us the garden that's hanging in the sky.
December 13, 2015 was the day the Seoul Station Overpass was once and for all closed to car
traffic.
The overpass was built in 1970 to cope with a surging population and to alleviate traffic
jams, but in 2006, it failed to pass the annual safety inspection, getting a "D," and that
led to calls for it to be completely torn down.
But instead of getting rid of the overpass, Seoul decided to give it a drastic facelift.
For 45 years the Seoul Station overpass was a symbol of industrialization, with tens of
thousands of cars using it on a daily basis.
And after 18 months of construction, the road for cars is now a road for people.
It also has a new name: Seoullo 7017.
The name "Seoullo" translates to Seoul Street.
7017 references the road's birth and reincarnation -- built in 1970 and re-opened in 2017.
But the number 17 carries even more meanings than that.
The overpass is 17 meters off the ground, and connects to 17 different pedestrian roads,
which lead to many tourist attractions via walkways, elevators and escalators.
A variety of performances and exhibitions will also take place throughout the year.
"Seems like a botanic garden right in the middle of this concrete jungle.
So, I really like it....modern cities nowadays you get more and more cars, more and more
pollution, more and more traffic, less and less nature, less and less green, so reestablishing
this former automobile bridge into something actually people living here, enjoying the
quality of the city.
It's amazing, truly amazing."
"I used to drive often on the Seoul Station Overpass.
So I was a bit worried when the city first decided to close it down for construction
because I thought it would worsen the congestion nearby.
But now that I'm actually here, on the opening day with my family, I'm personally quite glad
because it feels like the city is becoming more people-friendly, providing a place like
this for people to enjoy."
Also sporting the nickname "Sky Garden," the overpass was designed by a renowned Dutch
architect named Winy Maas,... who took first place in Seoul's 2015 international design
competition.
Just like its nickname, the kilometer-long pedestrian park features more than 24,000
trees and plants of 228 species, most of which are arranged throughout the overpass in the
order of the Korean alphabet, Hangeul.
"We have cities where many people have different characters.
And that's the same for our plant world....
So we really thought, that we would make,.. to show that explicitly to Korea and to make
this kind of library, where you could go and see what you want to have."
The project focuses on two long-term visions for the city,... which are to encourage urban
restoration and tourism on foot.
"If development in the past was about completely demolishing an old bit of infrastructure to
build something else on top of it, urban restoration is about keeping and making use of the structure,
thereby cutting down on waste and revitalizing the local economy as well.
Seoullo 7017 is both the starting point and the model for such efforts."
Seoul is known for its dynamic atmosphere, as seen in the coexistence of modern technology
and a long history.
With the reopening of Seoullo 7017, the Korean capital is now setting an example for how
an urban eyesore can be transformed into a beautiful oasis and an escape from the city.
