#Trump said Tuesday that #Ukraine can win back all #territory lost to #Russia, a dramatic shift from the #US leader’s call on Kyiv to make concessions to end the war.
Trump offered his position in a social media posting soon after meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr #Zelensky on the sidelines of the #UnitedNations General Assembly.

For-profit prisons have created a “neo-slavery” in the US, according to award-winning journalist Chris Hedges. Inmates work eight hours per day for major corporations such as Chevron, #Motorola, #Nordstrom’s and Target, yet only have the possibility of making up to $1.25 an hour. In addition, companies that provide services like phone calls overcharge prisoners on even the most basic services, making hundreds of millions in profits annually. RT’s Ben Swann speaks to Hedges, who explains how this #shadowy_system came into #existence.

5. #Children of the #Incarcerated | There is no single story that describes what it is like for a #child to have a #parent who is #incarcerated. The experience depends on diverse factors, including the quality of the parent-child relationship prior to incarceration, the degree of household stability following the incarceration, and the child’s age, individual personality and others.
That being said some International human rights advocates have called #parental_incarceration "the greatest #threat to child #well_being in the #US. As of today, 1 in 28 children in the United States have a parent behind bars. For African American children, that number is 1 in 9. The #average term being served by incarcerated parents is 80 months.
Each year the number of children with incarcerated parents continue to #grow as a result of the record prison population in the #United_States. On this edition of #Inside_Out we talk to Shaquille Mualimm-ak, from #incarceratednationcampaign.org about his experience coping with having a parent behind #bars. We also sit down for an in-depth conversation with Author and Professor Alan Singer & talk about the causes and effects of having a parent incarcerated.
