>> hello john. i had the opportunity having family members with me watching the press conference by the helms county prosecutor, sam yum's children and the mother of those children. the screaming the hollering the crying it was intense pain and age are but i must say because of the worlds of the county prosecutor that someone would be held accountable for murder of their father it made it better. it was yet painful but it made it better that the announcement was made that this officer would be charged with murder. >> and bishop, yet seeing that video what does it say about what is going on in cincinnati? is this just an isolated incident? >> i would have to call this a very isolated incident, in cincinnati. however, i think that we have to pay attention to the culture of policing in some departments. in 2001, cincinnati had their own riots. cincinnati was ferguson and baltimore and some of these other places but things are much better in the city of cincinnati because from those riots, policing changed. to community policing. now, this was a university of cincinnati police officer. and they don't operate under those same objectives of community policing and the difference is vast. and i believe we must make sure that that old-fashioned culture of policing and the thoughts that many officers seem to have against especially young black men, it must change. >> you know, we've been hearing first of all we heard the prosecutor. and his words were chilling, in many words today, about this police officer. but in some ways, the african americans across the country after what happened in ferguson, and what happened in new york and other places, seemed to have been saying the same thing about certain police departments. what needs to change? >> the culture of policing, there needs not to be a fear. of young black men and young black ladies. there needs to be respect. the young lady that died in texas last weekend she shouldn't have been treated the way she was treated. so many cases it should not have happened the way it did. we are all saying, had it not been for a body cam on that officer woe would no we would nn indictment of that police officer. >> why did the police department wait to release it? >> it was the prosecutor, the prosecutor was holding the release back saying it would somehow taint his grand jury process and that kind of put everything on edge. but today once it was released, i think everyone was able to exhale. everybody was able to breathe again. and i believe we can strongly say that because of the actions of the city leaders the mayor the police chief of cincinnati and even the prosecutor today we are able to exhale in cincinnati. still anger still hurting but it appears we will see truth and fair justice. >> bishop, it's good to see you, thank you very much. >> mulla mohammed omar, it seems, is dead and has been for over two years. it cast a different feel over the talks upcoming. neave barker reports. >> withdrawal of afghanistan in the 1980s. they became the foot soldiers in a war that would lead to the creation of a new puritan fiscal state. they sided with wealthy foreign fighters that arrived for mujahideen to defeat. from there rose a young osama bashar al-assad. a message that was greeted with optimism first but in reality meant strict laws. girl schools closed, violent punishment and executions were a regular occurrence and afghanistan's ancient buddhist past was raised. biby the late 1990s, the taliban controlled almost the whole country. the 911 attacks in the united states in 2001 led to u.s. air strikes against al qaeda and the taliban who had given sang wear to the airline hijackers. as taliban fighters were pushed into the mountains, the regime quickly collapsed. as the u.s. war in afghanistan continued, key taliban leaders have been killed and now there are reports that the group has fractured into rival factions. but their presence in neighboring pakistan has grown such as here in the port city of karachi where they have repeatedly been gaining support. the death of the taliban leader has been seen as a blow to their organizations but their network of influence remains. neave barker, al jazeera. >> for a second day on capitol hill, top administration officials were grilled by members of congress over the iran nuclear deal. today the senate armed services committee demanded to know how the new agreement would affect u.s. defense strategy. libby casey is in washington. libby. >> reporter: john, senators raised concerns today including whether the deal actually emboldens iran. whether be the be u.s. is relying too much on dploim diply and not enough on strength. whether there are side deals in play. top of military brass took turn on complol capitol hill. adding their voices to the white house plan. >> it's a good deal because it prevents iran from getting a nuclear weapon in a defined and categorical way. >> leaving open all options if iran walks away from the deal. >> and i've said trt start thatt that relieving the risk of a nuclear bomb, trying to do that militarily but i will sustain the military options in case that becomes necessary. >> but the republicans feel that doesn't go far enough. >> the ultimate guarantee that iran will not get a nuclear weapon is not a 109 page document, it is the capability of the u.s. military to do what is necessary if all else fails. and yet this agreement would enable iran to construct the kind of advanced military arsenal that could make our military option far costlier to employ. >> democrats are the strength the white house needs. >> they could certainly generate the nuclear materials within months. >> obama administration officials say the agreement would delay iran's ability to create a nuclear weapon. they denied secret side deals between iran and the the international atomic energy agency, iaea. >> it is a confidential agreement which is the standard professor of the iaea. we have lived with the iaea, we have relied on the iaea for years. >> aggressive stance against the obama administration. >> you are refusing to tans question. secretary carter, is it true that iran is the leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world? >> i have asked before and i believe that's true, yes. >> but those republicans are not people that the white house hopes to win over in the next two months. it's democrats and the constituents members will hear from during the long august recess. john, scores of democrats went to the white house this evening at the invitation of president obama. those members getting the opportunity to hear the president's pitch. secretary kerry convened an off the record meeting with washington bureau chiefs of national media organizations. this was an opportunity for the secretary to take his case directly to the bureau chiefs who will be influential in how the national media covers this debate over the coming weeks. john. >> all right libby thank you. now a proposal by syria to end the more than four years of civil war. talking about key issues including citizen safety, constitutional issues and reconstruction. the u.n. special envoy to syria admits the goals are modest but he says resolving the crises will require unconventional thinking. turkey continues to step up its offensive against both i.s.i.l. and the kurdish pkk militia. today turkey war planes targeted virlingvillages in northern ira. continuing until pkk lays down its arms. this conflict can't be boiled down to turkey against the cushedz. the kurds. they are not always related approximately josh rushing spent time on the front lines. josh, let's start from the beginning. how many kurdish groups are in this fight and who are they? >> good evening, john. it becomes a bill offal fabt soup. tof alphabetsoup. pkk are against the syrian pyd which are syrian kurds and then they are actually allied, the turkish are allied with the krg which is in northern iraq. i think if you are trying to look at this and understand what's happening some of those letters can really just get in the way. talking about the kurds as if they're one group is about as useful as talking about the whites in northern europe when they are one group, when the germans the brits and the french are different groups. the largest ethnicity that doesn't have its own home. that's the most effective way to understand their political mostlmostlymotivations. the president of the krg is mahmoud barzani. i've interviewed him exclusively in the past. when the iraq invasion by the u.s. started ten, 12 years ago, it would have been unthinkable to see the kurds and the turks allied. you now that's completely changed. >> how did the government become friendly with the krg, the iraqi kurds? >> thrats a great question john, you just never would have believed it would happen ten years ago. they became friendly because they ended up having the same goals. barzani the president of that part of iraq reached out to ankara that part of turkey and started to have relations about eight years ago. now they're closely aligned to the point economically they're partners and turkey has helped build the oil appliance. and the money they get from the oil helps them have some sort of independence there in northern iraq. >> all right so which side does u.s. support? >> that gets really, really tricky. if you look at the battle of kobani, you have the syrian kurds which seems to have the most effect of i.s.i.l. on the ground and they're doing it with some u.s. air strikes. but commanders on the ground would throw their hands up in the air and say, why isn't the u.s. helping us more? the u.s. wants to help those syrian kurds in the fight against i.s.i.l. but the syrian kurds are alienl aligned with te turkish kurds. it could be a good way to win a battle but lose the war. the only islamic country in nato, have declared the pkk a terrorist group even though the pkk has never attacked any u.s. property or the consulate there but they have done it to afees turkey. nato has done the same thing. the pkk which are turkish rebels are fighting the islamic in syria and iraq as well. they are really quite different. i sat down and had a meal with a pkk commander on the front lines of the islamic state just south of kirkuk. they refer to each other as comrade. they wear green fatigues that would have flit in to che's revolution in cuba. radically different than barzani's krg. he is a massive capitalist, runs many of the businesses that prosper in erbil. even though they are kurdish they share little politically or economically. >> josh, good to see you, thank you very much. still ahead, some call him the little fuehrer. plus this. >> i'm jennifer london, east porterville, more than half of the people have run dry. the drought is threatening their health, i'll tell you why coming up. up. >> a piece of debris found on a beach in the indian ocean may be a clue in the mh 370 mystery. consistent with a wing flap on a boeing 777. march of last year 239 people on board. the debris washed up on reunion an island near madagascar about 3500 miles west of malaysia. meanwhile, russia vetoed a proposed u.n. tribunal to prosecute those involved in the shooting down of malaysia airlines 17. 298 people on board were killed. now we turn to california and the devastating four year drought. it's caused crop prices to soar. led to mandatory restrictions on water usage. now it's threatening residents' health. we followed the developments in one of central california's hardest hit towns. jennifer london has returned from her sixth trip to east porterville. she's in los angeles tonight jennifer. >> reporter: john, good evening, each weekend in east porterville there are reports of 20 to 25 private wells running dry. as the drought emergency gets worse there are no concerns that it's starting to impact people's health. the heat, the dust, and the drought, are becoming too much for grasiela ramirez. >> her eyes get red her throat is hurting and her skin is becoming more and more dry. >> ramirez lives in east porterville, california, the epicenter of the state's historic drought where the ongoing water crisis is becoming a health crisis. >> you are dealing with things you typically don't see in first world societies. >> medical director at the sequoia medical clinic. most of her day is spent treating patience like graciela. >> lung issues such as copd, asthma, allergies. their problems are significantly worsening. if you don't have running water the basic things such as hygiene become an issue. >> california's central valley has some of the worst air pollution in the country. with mountains on three sides, it's home of big oil and big ag, both big polluters. the drought only serves to exacerbate the problems. without water, the air particles linger in the air longer. those mountains are nearly invisible. hardest hit are communities like east porterville. this small farming town has no water system. residents rely on private mostly shallow wells. most of the residents don't have running water. >> third world situation very unfortunate. i think people know as citizens of america, we all need certain basic things in life to survive and water is one of those things just like air. and unfortunately this area we have no water for some people and really bad air for all of us. >> can you tell me about that struggle? al jazeera first reported on east porterville's drought emergency last august. the county pays to fill these water tanks twice a month. >> if we don't save water we won't have enough for two weeks. so we do our best. >> when we first met her last december her family had been without running water for months. today she says she's battling more than just the drought. >> personally for me it's sad, it's really bad. i can't go outside, i can't go outside because it's really dusty and that's bad for me. >> in 2011, she was diagnosed with bone cancer. she says the poor air quality has added to her suffering. >> why is the air bad for you? >> because my immune system really low and i just can't. >> she also worried about her 12-year-old jocelyn. >> my youngest daughter i had to stay her to the doctor with respiratory problems. she has asthma. >> you think the drought is making it worse? >> yes, with asthma it's the same thing you can't be out in the dust in all that. >> what do you say to your daughter? sorry you can't go outside, you can't be with your friends. >> that. when she tells me she wants to go outside, i tell her no, mija, you can't play because of your health. >> is that any way to live? >> no, that's not. it's not. >> county officials tell me they are looking into the health concerns but as of yet they don't have any official numbers on how big the problem is. they don't have any money to dig a deeper well so they can hook up east porterville residents, so they'll have to rely on the water deliveries or wait for the rain. >> jennifer, thanks very much. coming up next, racism in america. >> this flag is an honorable flag. >> symbol of the white power movement. vement. >> hi everyone this is al jazeera america. i'm john siegenthaler. heritage or hate. >> in my reality, i believe that some things are worth more than money and my people and the continuation of my people and my culture is worth sacrifices and is worth putting yourself out on the front lines for. >> is this the new face of white power? we talked to the man called little fuehrer. >> killing hundreds of african loins eaclions each year, it's d some people say unsustainable. >> in about eight years all of the wild elephants in africa will have died from poachers. >> using drones to protect animals from poachers. he's been called the new face of hate. matthew heinbach says he's promoting white pride and segregation. roxana saberi reports. >> this flag is an honorable flag. >> matthew heinbach supported the confederate flag. supports break ugh up the u.s. into ethnically and culturally unified states. >> secession was right in 1861. and the way america is going secession might just be right in 2015. >> the new face of hate. heinbalk is aligned with neonazi groups. heinbach says he doesn't care if people call him race its. but he'd prefer different terms. >> a sense of love and compassion because we want to see the next generation inherit a future where he this can be safe, where they can be raised in a positive environment, i support the family. and i see the white movement as a group of love not hate. >> while in maryland he made national news founding the white student union, railing against what he said was a rise of black on white crime. on one post online, he wrote, no longer will the homosexual, muslim and black secession groups be able to hijack our campus. preparing to stay our campus back. all we need is the help of people like you to make it happen. students at the university organized a protest against him but heinbach remained unphased. >> they are good spirited folks but just wrong. >> roxana saberi, al jazeera. >> matthew heinbach the southern poverty law center has called him and his fellows nazi sympathizers. matthew you said some pretty outrageous things. let me start with what you say about jews. you blame jews as destroying white european culture. you suggest keeping jews separate and you say jews have a burning hatred for europeans and will stop at nothing to drive them into submission. where did you learn these ideas? >> well, first and foremost, i think if you just looked and asked the people of palestine, the people of lebanon, the people around the world that are dealing with international zionism they would agree with me. >> but you hate gays and blacks as well. >> first i don't hate anybody and second of all i believe in supporting all nationalist movements around the world. i just published a an article struggling the palestinian people to build a home land. sovereignty, their own culture and identity. i support the government in syria for president bashar al-assad fighting, and i see them as allies in separatist. >> you just don't want to live with them? >> i believe everyone should be able to have their own space for their own culture and faith family can thrive that's the believe of nationalism that's shared by most people and groups around the world. >> you call dylann roof the gunman who massacred nine people in a black church, you called him a victim why? >> whites are openly spit upon in the american mass media so -- >> that's why you wrapped yourself in the confederate flag? >> i'm a southerner, i love my southern roots. but i wholeheartedly condemn terrorism as a tool -- >> he's just a victim? >> no, what he did was wrong and he should face punishment for it but more and more white youth feel socially they are being disenfranchised and soon will be a minority in america. we're going to see more of these situations if we don't start talking about race and start talking about these problems. >> let me go back to your idea of separating groups. you've suggested blacks go to detroit, jews go to new york, gaze go to san francisco. this reminds me of nazi germany. >> first and foremost, the idea of separatism is all around the world. when india and pakistan became separate, pakistanis live in pakistan and ethnic indians live in indian. people around the -- india. what we see in the modern day america that it was just released that president obama has a racial category list of white communities that if they're more than 50% white to use hud to be able to bring in immigrants to be able to bring in refugees into the watered down white population owners [simultaneous speech] right isn't that's right? no don't you want all whites communities i mean let's be honest about it, okay? >> well i'm being honest. what i want is every community to be able to have independence. if you are looking at the black lives matter protests, i think black community should have black police officers, prosecutors, lawmakers, they should be independent for their own people. i want that for my own people i think hispanics in the southwest should have -- >> slavery is a good thing because it provided food and shelter to black people right? >> first and foremost i did not say that. >> you didn't? >> my north carolina chairman scott terry at a cpac conference a panel on how not to be called a racist said that. what we are talking about 2015, the black community is asking about independence and sovereignty, i say give that to them. >> i'm not sure they're asking for that. other than spew garbage on 12 what are you for? >> the worker party is a major step forward to be able to mobilize and activate the white working class. >> who could belong to that group? >> well, anyone can join. >> jews? >> anyone can join. >> can jews join? >> well under federal election laws i believe anyone can join a party. >> would you want jews to join your group? would not, i think that -- >> why not? >> i think that they -- well because if you look at politics the jewish influence is always nefarious. during the civil rights movement the majorities of all of the civil rights groups were financed by jews -- >> how can you make these -- it is outrageous about you to have generalizations you have no idea what their beliefs are. >> sir we're looking at facts here [simultaneous speech] >> fantasy what we're looking at. >> the listener i agree if you went to a majority of listeners of al jazeera in the middle east and asked them about international zionism and the jewish problem they would wholeheartedly agree with me. what we're seeing in the middle east is happening here as well, jewish power use ig money can buy off the sneeps. >> thathe [simultaneous speech] we have been talking to matthew heinbach. >> be new article on aljazeera.com profiled heinbach, and montgomery alabama night. ryan let me just ask you first. how dangerous do you think this guy is? >> well, that's kind of a debatable question. i think it's probably better to look at what matthew heinbach really is. in many representatives he's a conduit between many different hate groups. he's just as willing to get in bed with the council of legal citizens of the south, and he is to the terror brigade. it is obvious what he is doing. >> obviously, what's obviously? >> i think he's connecting these groups you know? he's sort of the -- >> what does that mean? >> he's is unand a halfable young charismatic leader who is willing to stand up and say these things about hate and extremism about jews or blacks or mexicans or whatever and somehow rationalize it for people. >> vegas, you spent a lot of time with him. tell me about your experience. what did you come away from that experience with? >> well, i think matthew is a smart, he's an articulate and well spoken person. and you know obviously a lot of the things he says are offensive to a lot of people. and you know, i disagree with a lot of things he says but i think he's doing a very good josh -- job at rallying a lot of people on the far right to his cause by being rather media savvy. >> you say he could be bigger than david duke, the emerging leader of the kkk who went on to run for public office. why do you think this guy has the possibility of getting bigger than david duke. >> i think like i said he's good at talking to various groups and the person from the splc just mentioned he's a conduit to many different groups. but also i 30 he has an audience that's very -- it's conducive to what he's trying to say and i think it's a growing part of the population that's listening to what he's saying. >> you know ryan whether we talk about these groups, obviously, there have been fewer -- lately there have been fewer of these groups that pop up. but more of hate speech on the internet. how does -- how does matthew work into the hate speech that we see on the internet every day? >> well, matthew is the public face for that speech. while matthew is holding rallies at any opportunity he has those comments that he says his statements they get thrown right back onto racist white supremacist forums like storm front or vnn. a lot of racists have different perspectives what they think about heinbach but everybody listens to him. >> vegas, who are the people that follow him? >> i think it is a lot of different people. the rally i went to in knoxville very recently had -- they draw many different people but it's a subset of poor people in appalachia that identify with what he's saying. they may not agree with everything about jews being worse than i.s.i.s. but when he says the federal government has disenfranchised you, that resonates with them. not as a nazi or a klansman, he says things that make sense. >> and could he spark some people to commit violent acts just by speaking that way? are you concerned about this as a dangerous movement, a violent movement? >> you know, i'd rather not speculate. i don't think that, you know, his words incite to violence but there are certainly many people who could you know take them that way. i don't -- there's a lot of funny people sitting at home googling things on the internet finding out things they believe is you know things they should fight about and things they should take up weapons against. i don't think he necessarily incites to violence, no. >> so ryan if he's the new face of the white power movement, of the racist movement in america, where is that movement headed? >> well, if i can touch on that point you were just talking about, you know, to talk about whether matthew is violent, you can't say that. but without a doubt, this rhetoric and this ideology ends in one place. almost always it ends in violence. so i think that to say that matthew is the new face of the movement, matthew does these intellectual gymnastics he says out of love but we all know the reality behind it. >> you can find vegas's piece on aljazeera.com. it's a good piece. thanks very much. coming up next, the changing climate of the wine industry where global warming has hit vineyards hard and where it's actually helping. and growing backlash over a minnesota dentist and his big game hunting hobby. >> don't try this at home. >> "techknow" - where technology meets humanity. only on al jazeera america. >> climate change is having a big impact on the wine industry. rising temperatures are actually helping some regions like oregon where some of america's finest pinot noirs are produced. but for california's napa valley, heat is hurting. grape growers are starting to look north. >> it's a crazy idea, that's when harry started to move to willamette valley to make wine. at that time, a wet and cool climate. >> this is not a place that made you sit back in your lawn chair and drink a beer when you watched everything grow in the hot son. >> 30 years later, he is turning out award winning pino noirs. >> we are actually benefiting from it right now change in climate because we have very reproducible reliable vintages now. >> oregon now produces some of the best pinot noirs in the world. wine makers and enthusiasts are flocking here to what could be the next napa valley. >> i think this complexity can really rival some excellent burgundy. >> peterson wonders how long it will be before it becomes too hot to produce his wine. >> we'll have to take the clusters and place them on the ground and even then, it is going to be early. >> how early?
