Here. Nastia is sailing ships, she says. Ukraine has been at war all the eight years shes known. I think it will be better without them, she says. It was uncomfortable having them here. Her parents nearby say fear meant their slept in their clothes all the six months. Its kind of strange here to see how almost unaffected so much of this town has been and how life seems to have slipped comfortably back into normal when the russians just picked up and left. And it gives you a feeling of how normality must still reign just a matter of six kilometers away from the border in russia. But normal is never coming back, particularly to here, the borderline itself. Russia retreated back over it but must now live with the hatred it has stirred. The fact that Ukrainian Forces are able to push right up to here, the beginning of the Border Buffer Zone with russia, russia is just a matter of kilometers in that direction, is yet another Calamity Moscow has imposed upon itself. Its opponent in this war that its struggling so deeply to defeat is now so close to russias own towns and cities. Reporter a moment long coming says local soldier anton. How did you feel walking along the ukrainerussia border . Some people have waited this for eight years, he says. It is the start of our victory. Across the once sleepy fields here lives and harvests stalled, wilting. Yet another year will come. Reporter jake, the abiding impression from seeing areas reclaimed by the ukrainians is just the vacuum, frankly, that is left when russia disappears. Life almost sliding back to normal six months ago, particularly in those areas, and startling to hear from ukrainian officials their suggestion that some of the units that fled the area around kharkiv were in fact so heavily injured or damaged theyve entirely been disbanded. Now, today ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy appearing publicly, seemingly unscathed from the car crash he was involved in yesterday, has been talking about the discovery of mass graves in the town of izium south of where im standing. One of the key logistical points down from Vof Vovchansk you saw in that report. More grim discoveries as ukraine continues to press forward in its southern offensive. This all comes as two major adversaries of the west meet face to face. President xi of china and president putin of russia. Promising to Work Together and support one another as cnns ivan watson reports. This is the first time the two strongmen have met in person since the start of the invasion of ukraine by russia. And a lot has changed for both of them. Reporter two leaders united by their dislike of the u. S. Xi jinping making his first trip outside of covid lockeddown china in more than two years. Face to face with his russian counterpart vladimir putin, who quickly addresses the elephant in the room. Translator we highly appreciate the balanced position of our chinese friends in connection with the ukrainian crisis. We understand your questions and concerns in this regard. Reporter questions and concerns about russias deadly war in ukraine. A shift in tone from the last time these two men met. At the start of the beijing Winter Olympics in february xi and putin announced a friendship with no limits and called for A New World Order not dominated by washington. But only weeks later putin launched his invasion of ukraine, and it has not gone according to plan. Russias military battered, its economy increasingly isolated. Putin now needs china more than ever. But in his Public Comments the chinese leader made no mention of ukraine. The white house argues when it comes to this war chinese friendship does have limits. We havent seen the chinese do anything overtly to support the effort by mr. Putin inside ukraine. Clearly, they havent publicly condemned it. I think the chinese as they watch whats going on here, they recognize how isolated moscow is from the rest of the international community. They recognize the economic costs and consequences that this wars having on the russian economy. Reporter thanks in large part to the ongoing covid lockdowns of entire chinese cities the chinese economy is also taking a beating. Something xi cant afford to ignore as he prepares to grant himself a third term in office. The chinese and russian navies are conducting joint patrols in the pacific ocean. But these types of shows of force have been challenged by the fierce resistance displayed by a much smaller Military Fighting on the battlefields of ukraine. When it comes to the ukrainian war, jake, chinese friendship with no limits, well, it basically amounts to beijing accusing the u. S. And nato of provoking russia, forcing it to invade ukraine. But the kind of rhetoric ends there. Chinas also provided an economic lifeline to russia by buying up record amounts of discounted russian oil and coal. But youve got to wonder, the Russian Military setbacks on the battlefield, the scenes weve seen over and over again of ukrainian farmers towing captured russian tanks, must have diminished the image of putin in the eyes of his close friend xi jinping. Ivan watson reporting from hong kong for us. Thanks so much. Joining us line to discuss republican congressman mike turner of ohio who serves as a ranking republican on the house intelligence committee. Congressman, thanks so much for being here. Lets start with this meeting between chinese president xi and russian president putin today. How significant do you think it is, putins acknowledgment that beijing had questions and concerns about the war in ukraine . Well, its very significant. You know, this meeting is a far cry from the meeting that they had in february where they declared no limits because apparently there were limits because china offered no military assistance to putin or russia during their incursion into ukraine. But also putin stands with xi much diminished. When he first stood there, even the United States thought that he would go easily into ukraine. He did not. That complicates things for president xi as he looks to what he might want to accomplish militarily with taiwan. And also putin rallied the entire world around their military incursion, which of course makes it more difficult for china to then undertake a similar incursion toward taiwan. And the other aspect of this is you have the reports of just the atrocities that are occurring in ukraine. It really shows that russia, the brutality of what theyre doing, and certainly that doesnt play well anywhere. Were learning more about these atrocities as the ukrainians recapture territory. The u. S. Government has been pretty careful not to call this new part of the war where ukraine is recapturing territory, theyre not calling it a Turning Point in the war. Theyre not calling it a critical moment that will determine the outcome. Heres a quote from a u. S. Defense official. Its more important than ever that we dont appear to be spiking the ball. What do you think . Is that a valid concern . Its always a concern whenever there are advances on the part of ukraine in that russia has options. And we dont know what options they might deploy. And certainly thats of a concern. But one thing we do know is ukraine is making advances, russia is losing territory. This is significant and its real. It certainly has put russia in a disadvantaged position. It certainly has shown that their Military Capability is not what they had believed in that region. But the other thing, it has put off their ability to have referendum in the area and then claim that they have annexed that territory. Holding off those plans really sets back putins agenda. And sources tell cnn the u. S. Is still not likely to provide Ukrainian Forces with longerrange Missile Systems which ukraine has been requesting for months. Cnn has been told that the Biden Administration Still Believes providing those systems would be seen by moscow as an escalation and would result in a retaliatory step by moscow. Do you agree with that reasoning . I think this administration has been very cautious in what they have done taking very, very small steps because theyve been worried about provoking russia. But in this what russias always done is provocative. The atrocities that are occurring, their open threats to poland, romania, to the balkan the baltics themselves. All of that area i think is of Grave Concern and i think we need to be certainly supporting ukraine with everything we can give them. So you think theyve been too cautious . Is that what youre suggesting . Theyve been slow on the uptick. Congress has been leaning in on this, both on passing legislation for providing lethal aid and in funding lethal aid. But also its been slow to get in. You were reporting that certainly in the beginning sure. But i think at this point we really need to see a win by ukraine and theyre close. So what would you say to somebody from the Biden Administration who says hey, look at these you were just acknowledging the ukrainian victories, that didnt just happen. That happened because the west, led by President Biden and the United States, has been giving all sorts of aid, weapons systems, probably a lot of stuff we dont know about that you know about but you cant tell me. Well, what weve seen every time weve increased the capabilities and the lethal aid that weve given to the ukrainians, they have stepped up, been able to deploy those capabilities and theyve won ground. Thats whats exciting, is that were actually seeing successes. We hope the successes continue and we certainly think president zelenskyys leadership in rallying that nation and the military capabilities were watching being deployed are impressive. Cnns been told that former u. N. Ambassador and new mexico governor Bill Richardson met with leaders of russia in moscow this week. He does of course, as you know, historically provide help to families of hostages and detainees. And there are at least two americans being held prisoner in russia. But i want you to listen to what White House National Security Council spokesperson john kirby told me yesterday about richardson going there. Our message is that private citizens should not be be in moscow at all right now and that private citizens cannot negotiate on behalf of the United States government. We share mr. Richardsons desire to see Brittney Griner and paul whelan home with their families, and were working very, very hard at doing that through government channels. Thats the appropriate way to do that. And those efforts are ongoing. So is Bill Richardson freelancing and what do you think . Should he leave russia . Well, i wouldnt know to what extent that he is working with the administration through back channels or not. But i will tell you this. There certainly are Grave Concerns as to what the administration might be willing to give up in any of these negotiations. We certainly want what we would consider to be hostages freed. We certainly want americans to come home. And i think certainly everybody is very supportive of the administration in those negotiations. But we do have to be very concerned as to what we give in exchange. And thats something yet to be seen. Do you have concerns about the russian arms dealer in a u. S. Prison whos been floated as a possible trade . Absolutely. You dont think he should be let go . Well, no. And i think that when you start to signal also your willingness to give things that we should not russia also ups the ante. They never accept any level of concession as goodwill. They receive it as a walkback. All right. Very interesting. Congressman mike turner, thanks so much. Really appreciate it. Coming up next an inside look at what it took to avoid a crippling freight rail strike.

Were back with our money lead. A strike that could have had disastrous economic consequences for the United States economy has thankfully been avoided, at least for now. The white house today, President Biden celebrated the tentative deal between Freight Railroad companies and unions representing rail wokkers. As Cnns Kaitlan Collins reports, this took weeks of intense negotiations and the direct involvement of the white house to get things back on track. Reporter a big win and a big relief for the white house. This is a great deal for both sides in my view. Reporter President Biden announcing a deal between unions and railroad carriers, averting a strike that could have caused an economic catastrophe. Theyre really the backbone of the economy. I mean, literally the backbone of the economy. Reporter the negotiations stretching for nearly 20 hours inside the Labor Department with President Biden himself dialing in after the 12hour mark and a final deal clinched around 2 30 in the morning. They feel good. These guys did by the way, theyre still standing. They should be home in bed. 20 straight hours. Reporter the president bringing the negotiators and labor secretary marty walsh into the oval office to hail the agreement as a win for both workers and the companies. This is critical, critical in keeping the economy moving. Weve got a way to go, but i want to thank them all, business and labor. Reporter the deal meeting the unions main demand to give workers the ability to take days off for sick leave or medical emergencies, and in a win for the companies saying workers will have to take unpaid leave to do so. The agreement coming after weeks of intense efforts by the white house, who feared that a strike would paralyze critical elements of the economy and potentially exacerbate inflation. He pushed them once again to recognize the harm that would hit families, farmers, businesses, and entire communities if there was a shutdown. Reporter and jake, all of this was a pretty delicate dance for President Biden, who has touted himself as the most prounion president to ever hold office. But of course did not publicly take a side here because what he really wanted was an agreement between these two sides to avert those economic consequences. Now, jake, theyve got this agreement. Its up to the workers to ratify it. All right, kaitlan collins, thanks so much.

In our politics lead today, campaigning for pennsylvania governor yesterday, republican nominee Doug Mastriano, a fullthroated spreader of Donald Trumps election lies, attacked his rival, democratic Attorney General josh shapiro, because of shapiros background. He grew up in a privileged neighborhood, attended one of the most Privileged Schools in the nation as a young man, not college. Im talking about as a kid. Sending his four kids to the same privileged exclusive elite school. We talk about him having disdain for people like us. I happen to know a little bit about the Privileged School that mr. Mastriano is attacking because i went there too. I was fouryearold ahead of Attorney General josh shapiro. It was then called Akiba Hebrew Academy. Its a provide jewish parochial school. And i suppose in that sense it is privileged. But i do not know many people who would describe it the way that mr. Mastriano did. More than 60 of the student body is currently on some form of tuition assistance, the school tells me, which was my experience back when i went there in the 1980s. A lot of kids got Financial Aid including a lot of kids who with their parents had escaped antisemitism in the soviet union and were trying to build better lives for themselves in the philadelphia area. I dont think ive ever heard mr. Mastriano describe any other pennsylvania parochial schools in that way. Elite, exclusive, privileged, full of disdain for fellow americans. Philadelphia has a ton of fancy prep schools. But Akiba Hebrew Academy was not one of them. The Catholic School Down The Street seemed more similar to our school. Kids of people, some of them wealthy, some of middle class, some more humble. Many of them from families where both parents worked. From all over the area, new jersey, delaware, philly, pennsylvania, wanting their kids to get an education that included faith and ethics and morals. Is that is that bad . Or is it only bad when those parochial schools arent christian . We reached out and asked to speak to mr. Mastriano today on our show. We did not get a response. I have questions for him, though, about his attack on this Jewish School because mr. Mastriano also has close ties with gab, the far right Social Media Platform where nazi venom is regularly spewed. Gab, you might recall, is where The Tree Of Life Synagogue Mass Murderer was sharing his plans and his sick bigotry right before he carried out the deadliest act of antisemitic violence in the history of the United States. Right on the other side of pennsylvania. Mastriano has close ties with openly, proudly antisemitic gab founder andrew torba, who was paid for Consulting Services by the mastriano campaign. Torba regularly attacks jews. He calls josh shapiro the antichrist. We should note that after some jewish republicans a couple months ago criticized mastriano for this Relationship Mastriano issued a rather rote paper statement criticizing antisemitism in all its forms. And then yesterday he attacked Josh Shapiros Jewish School and his kids Jewish School. I should also note that contrary to what mr. Mastriano suggested the Jewish Values taught there did not teach disdain in my experience. They taught community and charity and respect for all faiths and nationalities, races, creeds and colors, love of the United States, love for our fellow americans. So im not sure what mr. Mastriano means when he refers to people like josh shapiro having disdain for people like us. The only disdain i ever felt there was for antisemites. Cnns jeff zeleny joins us now live. Jeff, Doug Mastrianos relationship with gabs founder plays into larger concerns of antisemitism in this race. Tell us about that. Reporter look, jake, the pennsylvania governors race is very important to the Republican Governors Association and republicans writ large. That is why they have been worried about Doug Mastriano. That is why many of the establishment Republican Leaders here in washington and beyond did not support him in the primary. But look, he is the nominee. But yes, there have been concerns hanging over this race, as you said, for the last several months about his association with antisemitic groups. No question about it. The republican jewish coalition, a very Prominent Organization here in washington with donors across the country, was very explicit about this earlier this summer, calling out Doug Mastriano to say more about his ties to antisemitism. And Doug Mastriano did put out a statement at that time. But look, this is still hanging over this race without question. Now there is a new ad thats been introduced in this campaign by josh shapiro. Of course the democratic Attorney General running for governor. He is pointing out that Doug Mastriano once was pictured in a Confederate Army uniform when he was an instructor at the army war college. I think we have a picture of that that we can show. And he was the only one on the faculty here that decided to use the confederate uniform here in his picture. So that has been now turned into a digital ad. So yes, this is all hanging over the race here. And its a race that at this point josh shapiro is leading. A new cbs news poll shows that he is leading mastriano by 55 to 44 there. Eight weeks before the election this is the state of the Gubernatorial Campaign at least in pennsylvania, jake. Yeah. In addition to being losers and traitors we should note that the confederates pennsylvania was not on the side of the confederates. We were on the winning side. Democrat john fetterman, the lieutenant governor, hes finally agreed to a debate following a wave of criticism and of course his stroke. What do we know about that . He has agreed to a debate thats scheduled now tentatively for october 25th, two weeks before the election, and hes asked for Closed Captioning to be used at the debate. Why . He still is having auditory issues, his campaign says, having a hard time hearing and processing some things because of that stroke he had several months ago. So the oz campaign, mehmet oz campaign, has agreed to the Closed Captioning as long as the moderator announces and explains it to the audience in advance. Well see if this debate actually happens. As in many states across the country, theres been a debate over debates. But here in pennsylvania its been different because its speaking to fettermans Health Issues. But as of now at least there should be one debate just shortly before the election. Of course by then many early voting periods already under way. All right. Jeff zeleny, thanks so much. Lets discuss. Gloria, let me start with you. There are, we should note, legitimate questions about John Fettermans health. He had that stroke. Obviously, once again i want to note we all wish him the best, we all wish him a speedy recovery. He has agreed to a single debate with oz just before the election following weeks of criticism. Is that enough . Might voters regard one debate as insufficient . I think the more debates the merrier. And i think this is late. October 25th you have voting already started. And we dont know that oz is going to agree with this. They could go back and forth and back and forth about this forever. And i think that fetterman at the outset was not completely forthcoming about his Health Issues. And i think that because of that that has dogged him. And i think he would benefit from a debate. I think hes trying to be forthcoming now and saying look, i need Closed Captioning, i have Auditory Processing issues, and stay with me on this, im Getting Better every day. And people applaud that. So i would say that the people of pennsylvania should hear from candidates as much as they possibly can, particularly earlier on, before voting has already started. So youre a former republican congressman from the great commonwealth of pennsylvania. Oz is sharpening attacks against fetterman on this health issue, not just about the lack of transparency earlier on but also just saying that whatever Health Issues hes dealing with might keep him from doing his jobs job as a senator. Too much, do you think . Is there a risk there . Well, there is a risk but i think its a fair criticism. I do think that john fetterman, he has an obligation to do three debates in my view. One in the philadelphia market, one in the pittsburgh media market, and one in the central pennsylvania market, harrisburg. They have to do this. I just spoke earlier today with my good friend mark kirk, a senator from illinois who suffered a massive stroke sure. In 2012 and it took him about a year to come back to work. And he did two debates with Tammy Duckworth as an incumbent. And im sure it wasnt easy for him. He lost that race. But i think as gloria pointed out that the Fetterman Campaign has not been very forthcoming, they have not been transparent, and many people believe that his Health Condition is much worse than they have represented up to this point. So i think the criticisms are fair by dr. Oz. What do you think, ashley . I think that they should do a debate. It would be great to have more than one. And it is unfortunate to have the first one being after people have started to vote. I will also say, though, that people can recover from strokes and having one of the requests the Fetterman Campaigned asked for was Closed Captioning because of some Auditory Processing. That is a reasonable accommodation which we want people with disabilities to be able to have access to hold different jobs as long as theyre qualified. And i think that oz should agree to this and they should get this done as soon as possible. And i was just speaking to the oz campaign right before we got on air, and the latest volley in this is that they are still pushing for a 90minute debate. That is one of the disputes. The oz campaign, because of the Closed Captioning, says that instead of 60 minutes they want 90 minutes. So the ball is now back into the Fetterman Campaigns court to respond to that. Well theres always a tiresome debate over debates. But at least there is going to be a debate. Pennsylvania voters deserve it. Let me ask you, francesca, weve seen a slew of people lying about the 2020 election nominated in republican primaries this year. A cnn analysis found a majority of the Republican Senate nominees have rejected, raised doubts about or are taking steps or took steps to overturn joe bidens victory. Now one of these nominees, New Hampshire Senate Nominee don bolduc, who won his primary on tuesday in New Hampshire, hes changing his tune completely about what he said happened in 2020. This is the new bolduc. The election was not stolen. Was there fraud . Yes. President biden is the legitimate president of this country. Obviously now hes trying to tack toward the center and win over independents or the Biggest Party in New Hampshire is the independents. Biggest affiliation. Is it going to work . This is a broader theme that weve seen with republican candidates who tack to the right when they wanted the former president Donald Trumps support in their primaries and now theyre heading into general elections in many of these states that are either leaning toward their democratic opponent or solidly democrat in some of these states or a tossup still, really trying to put out views that they think will attract, like you said, the center, more independent voters, jake. And its not in one single race. And that is what has gop strategists nervous at this Point Heading into the midterm elections. This isnt a pivot, though. We talk about pivots in campaigns. This is a reversal. Yeah. A complete and total reversal for one particular reason. The primarys over. Its a swing state. Thats the reason. Its so simple. He wants look, this is a swing state. You need to get independent voters and democrats to win as a republican in New Hampshire just as you do in pennsylvania. And i think these guys are discovering they just cant pander to a base and win a general election. Its very simple. Its very basic math. And meanwhile, democrats feel really buoyed by the issue of abortion rights. Maggie hassan in that race has been campaigning really hard on that issue. Its something my colleagues and i wrote about this week, really leaning into that. And also talking about the 15week abortion ban that Lindsey Graham has now introduced in the senate and using that to say that republicans will try to pass an abortion ban if they take back the senate. Its disingenuous. And it is troubling to think that these people will potentially be in office and passing laws if they are disingenuous as candidates they will be disingenuous as politicians. Thats never happened. But thats why people are so frustrated with politics and washington, d. C. And i hope the voters see through it. So gloria, cnn got a preview of this explosive new book from veteran journalists Susan Glasser and peter baker about trumps presidency. The book claims that the former president s National Security Team Including Joint Chiefs Of Staff chairman general mark milley feared that trump would ignite a conflict with iran in the final days of his presidency. One Administration Official told trump before the 2020 election that if he lost he should strike Irans Nuclear program, the authors report. Milley at the time told his staff it was a what the f are these guys talking about moment. They write, now it seemed frighteningly possible. What do you make of this . I cant understand reading all these books, reading all these stories, why these people and this book says they considered it. Didnt all get together and stand up there and tell the public what was going on and quick. I know the rationale was you have to have the guardrails, we have to be there to be the guardrails for the american public. But when this kind of stuff is going on, at a certain point dont you owe it to the public to Say Something . And Congressman Baker and glasser also report that trump once abruptly phoned Jordans King Abdullah ii to inform him he was going to give you the west bank, which is of course not his to give. Prompting the monarch to tell a friend he thought he was having a heart attack. I couldnt breathe. I was bent doubled over. Is this more evidence that trump isnt fit to serve in your view or what . Yeah. Well, look, i met the king. I can imagine his reaction. That said, look, we knew that donald trump had serious issues from the moment of crowd size to the travel ban. I sat in a meeting with then speaker ryan. I said who is going to conduct the intervention . Whos going to stage the intervention down at the white house . This is crazy. This was in week two. And nobody and here we are weve just had a series of these types of events for years. Then january 6th was the culmination of it all. And its only gotten worse. And to your credit, congressman, you were saying it publicly back then while you were in office. Thanks one and all for being here. Appreciate it. Coming up, a woman killed her alleged rapist.

Thats whats happening in iowa for one teenage Sex Trafficking victim. 17yearold pieper lewis, who killed her alleged rapist when she was 15 years old, is now being ordered to pay his family 150,000 in restitution as well as serving five years probation. Iowa law requires the court to sentence offenders to pay at least that amount if they kill someone, regardless of the circumstances. A Gofundme Campaign set up by one of lewiss former teachers is almost at 400,000. Cnns lucy kafanov brings us the details. And we want to warn you, some of this information is rather disturbing. Reporter outrage is growing in the case of an iowa teen sentenced to five years probation for killing her alleged rapist, ordered to pay the mans family 150,000. The court is cognizant that you and quite frankly your supporters may be frustrated, even angry with the imposition of the 150,000 in restitution to mr. Brookss estate. Reporter pieper lewis was just 15 years old when she stabbed 37yearold Zachary Brooks to death inside his des moines apartment in 2020, where she says he raped her multiple times. I wish the events that took place on june 1st, 2020 never occurred. But to say theres only one victim to this story is absurd. Pieper was being used for money or drugs by adults. Reporter in her Plea Agreement lewis laid out the series of events that led to the killing, saying she was trafficked by an older man who forced her to have sex with other men for money, including brooks. She described being assaulted repeatedly, including while being unconscious, stating i suddenly realized that mr. Brooks had raped me yet again and was overcome with rage. Lewis was facing up to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter and willful injury. The judge deferred those sentences on tuesday, meaning her guilty plea could be expunged if she completes five years probation at a residential correctional facility. This is the Second Chance that youve asked for. You dont get a third. You understand that . Yes, i do. The next five years of your life will be full of rules that you will disagree with. Im sure of it. Reporter the judge said the restitution was mandatory under iowa law. This court has no discretion but to impose the 150,000 in restitution payable to mr. Brookss estate. I dont think that justice was served. I think that justice would have not seen pieper lewis spend any time behind bars. Reporter rights advocates point to numerous examples of victims of sexual abuse and trafficking facing punishment rather than protection. Women of color whove experienced sexual violence, domestic violence, trafficking, any kind of harm who act in selfdefense against their the people who harm them have not been treated well by our legal system historically. That means im going to die here. Reporter sarah cruzan was sentenced to life without parole as a teenager for killing a man who sexually abused and trafficked her in 1994. Pardoned by californias governor this july. The state of wisconsin versus crystal kaiser. Reporter in wisconsin crystal kaiser is facing a Life Sentence for killing the man she said forced her into trafficking when she was just 16. In tennessee Sentoya Brown was sentenced to life in prison for killing a man she claims paid to rape her when she was a 16yearold trafficking victim. She was eventually granted clemency and released in 2019 after 15 years behind bars. You know, just a story that has unfortunately become all too familiar. Reporter reacting to lewiss sentence in an interview with pbs newshour. She was a victim in this situation. Not only is she going to have to serve time in a facility but over the next five years anything that she does can trigger her having to serve a 20year sentence. So shes not truly free. And then theres the fact that she was ordered to reporter and heres the thing, jake. Pieper lewis avoids prison for now. But this is a victim of severe abuse. And like so many of the vulnerable teenagers in her situation she needs support in healing her trauma and not punitive measures. Rights activists that i spoke to say the Justice System should be punishing Child Sex Traffickers rather than their victims. Jake . Lucy kafanov, thanks so much.

In kenya, leaders of the nandi tribe are hoping King Charles Iii will return the head of their anticolonial leader. The severed head was apparently shipped to england as a war trophy after the tribal leader had been invited to a meeting with the british and killed by a british officer in that meeting in 1905. Cnns David Mckenzie is in johannesburg. David, is it clear if this head remains in british hands . Well, thats certainly what the nandi elders are saying. And it speaks to the pain and suffering so many generations after this incident when the nandi were fighting against the building of a railway through their ancestral land in kenya in the turn of the last century. Their leader went to negotiate a peace, or so he thought with the british officer was murdered by the British Military and they say his head taken to england as a war trophy. And the death of the queen has resurfaced a lot of this pain and anguish and the very real generational impact of the brutality of british colonialism. Youll recall, jake, about ten years ago, there was a group of kenyans who were suffering from in the 1950s, actually, the very year that the queen became queen was the start of the mau mau rebellion in kenya. Many of them, hundreds of thousands in fact were placed in internment camp, tortured. Some ten years ago we reported on how they successfully got money, more than 20 million from the British Government, an apology of sorts. But many feel that the ongoing legacy of colonialism hasnt been dealt with. We spoke to a prominent lawyer who helped defend those mau mau liberation heroes. Heres what he had to say about the impact of colonialism. The dehumanization of the kenyan people, or the black people. Because they are outspoken. What, was that colonialism treated africans in kenya as Beings Resembling Human beings, but subhuman. Something that and they treated them as such. That dehumanization is what i would plead with the British Government now, his majestys government to accept and atone. Well, these issues are very much alive. Just a few weeks ago, jake, another group of kenyans are suing now the British Government in a European Court for what they say is being atrocities of them being pushed off their land. Jake .
