ten fold fifty fall of a million like we don't know. the ripple effect is so much becker than any of us are even able to measure. the backyard. hardwood coper people over. because she always used to be of the the matter what time of day it was my to be up there. the biggest one. we had always lived her number back yard but that's where we would. we wouldn't hear her but we'd hear her by. one of the most important things law enforcement can do when someone goes missing is to act quickly. that didn't happen in the case of
12:33 pm
fourteen year old he scott on the northern cheyenne reservation in montana she was this place the ball of light that was just. the last time her mother policy spoke to her it was a friday evening last december and he called to ask if she could go to a basketball tournament and i told her no i mean you can't get grounded. and she said ok i'll be home in a bit tonight so last i heard. one henny didn't come home hala first took to social media to ask if anyone had seen her. five days later she and her husband nathan went to the local law enforcement the bureau of indian affairs or b i a a federal agency the reason why i was down there is reaching out to them is because i needed help to look oh where. and when they told me you know
12:34 pm
did you check her friend's house or maybe the boyfriend did you check there. i check there that's why i'm here because i need more help looking out where. it's not clear where even if the police searched for honey but what pollinate do know is that an alert wasn't issued for her until two weeks after they reported her missing. by that point the family had organized a volunteer search party for. this and some birds going up and down like. the search parties for someone so another search for someone so. we walked down to you know. i could smell the smell. that's when i got like. that feeling you know i'm going to find you know and to find some place around it. when it got dark they called off the search for the night with plans to resume in
12:35 pm
the morning so that that's when they found. they found. where i went down the ravine. the founder of towards the house maybe able to fifty yards from where i was. and this felt like i should do one there you know. what i know. and they may have brought her down to that building where we were they'd just like open the back of that suburban she was already in a body bag and they just like. the side there. have a moment. paula nathan told us there have been few
12:36 pm
answers from authorities since he was found i believe by i wasn't taken seriously that if i had been. that she would be here. my. security through the ones. that hurts the most. i just like last night. review girl was just crying you know. and she said you know it was from me and my heart hurt you know my. heart is breaking. because i moved. the bureau of indian affairs declined our request for an interview citing the open investigation which is being conducted by the f.b.i. . but we get through. to get through a lot because it's hard but it is our. but you
12:37 pm
know. we want justice to be served. we want. we want the process to work for us. but getting justice for hanny might not be easy fighting violent crime and achieving justice on reservations is complicated due to a collision of different factors. one is that most tribal police departments are understaffed and under resourced now residents would rather like that and. this is great and we've come to the navajo nation the largest native nation in the united states these are their spot forty thousand people that win in this little bit you cover. and that's based on the last census from two
12:38 pm
thousand. and one for more now and that's where you know if i get a call. you know that's a good hour after i get. the navajo nation stretches across three states new mexico arizona and utah. and its police force is spread thin we do investigations we try to get as much done right then and there but sometimes we do need to go back and do follow ups and try to go back and visit people find people but then we're stored on a regular patrol duty on a given night like they're. just going to go from call the call the call. another factor is that tribes don't have jurisdiction over non native americans for all crimes aside from domestic violence a recent change but beyond that they also have limited sentencing power even over members of their own nation for major crimes including homicide assault and
12:39 pm
kidnapping what this means is that addressing violent crime is primarily in the hands of the federal government in the late nineteenth century the federal government imposed itself on tribal nations unsaid. basically we don't trust you to police yourselves and pass laws that allow them to come into indian country and do crime control it was imposed it wasn't a request the tribal nations and yet that still the law today that governs when a family is going through a crisis and i think the way to system is set up is that if federal doesn't take it for whatever reasons then we still can prosecute tribal court for it but the maximum we could they could be given is a year prison up to five thousand dollars fine for a white year in prison and a five thousand dollar a well that's the maximum we could do for any or what for the homeless a charge on the tribal level that's to maximum right there you would all rather. go
12:40 pm
at the the federal level with the f.b.i. and cia. the problem with the federal authority is that there has there been a lot of concerns that the federal agencies don't respond that they don't take these crimes seriously typically federal officials or federal criminal authority is interested in you know white collar crime and terrorism and immigration and major drug trafficking rings so when they hear oh you need to go investigate a domestic violence offense there's a sense culturally in the in the department that that's not my job i have more more important things to do than worry about what's happened to one indian woman four and a half hour drive away. the wait for justice is something valley and knows too well. her older sister ariel went missing in the summer of twenty
12:41 pm
seventeen she was twenty six. just a few months later her remains were found in the canyon below this bridge in arizona. this is where my sister was found. when i'm told where my mom was so when i just started putting flowers here to remember her and just to get a piece of where she was last found right where she lost her breath but yes. it's difficult to know that. this is known knowns the bridge to my family something that we used to call. her sister you know was known as just the bridge. even though it's been a year and a half since ariel was found value told us they only know what they hear from whispers in the community these are that. she was thrown off. and the people responsible went back down there and cut or in half. they burned her
12:42 pm
lower part of the body and we were we have reports that you find that out from the from the f.b.i. or did somebody else tell you that i'm. just rumors you don't hear his stuff directly from the oh yeah you are this you know. it was nearly a year before ariel's remains were turned to value the family. by that time their mother jack one had passed away it impacted her the words she used to press she would call me and she bit me when you do. nothing mom what are you doing well what more we have to bridge i'm spending time with you sister. at one point value says investigators suggested ariel had taken her own life and said what do you know what happened you've found a people. who will be they will go we think it suicide and then we'll suicide
12:43 pm
that's long haul souls long since she had no reason to kill herself when she was excited for my pregnancy and to meet the baby so my told no. a lot of stuff to look for. love to consult with my grampa there's only one that can get him to take a selfie who's this that's my son. she had him shared a close relationship you know. since that initial meeting with authorities there's been no answers only questions as to what really happened to ariel the f.b.i. but. she just tells me that there isn't much evidence. to the case. of some of her own mom and. a lack of evidence is the main reason federal officials give for declining to prosecute crimes on reservations that shouldn't be the end of the discussion. there should be then a ok let's see what went wrong in this case why the years no evidence or why the
12:44 pm
evidence isn't good enough and make sure that doesn't happen again rather than just repeating the cycle over and over and over. the f.b.i. declined to speak with us about ariel's case citing the open investigation justice at this point just seems really are you know. i want justice for my sister but it just seems like the person up there is still up there around their daughters sisters aunts. he could do it again but he thinks that no one can. convict him of the crime that he did. behave just want to see him off the streets you know i don't know who he is. that's all i want. one thing that's helped dahlia and other families we spoke with this to talk about their loved ones so people know who they were and what happened to them she was a beautiful person and she cared and loved everyone. and she wanted the best for
12:45 pm
everybody. some states and federal officials have started to take action. new legislation is being proposed with the goal of tracking how many indigenous men and women have gone missing and to find solutions. it's a small step but it's one that families. hope can prevent others from experiencing the loss they had asked. for her to be that you know i'm. swiss tarp breaking. i don't know what ever recover from their. after beautiful it's. because the next said choose not to put. his gun. shots to slow the. cars. that brought
12:46 pm
a movement that. needs to be judged. not only in the state but if you were in the country. oh i'm one of the fortunate ones that got to find my girl and bring her home there's some ladies out there that. never found her daughters and never got to bring them home. the way people don't know what you're going to get inside but they're there's so many expectations of you you'd like to just move on with life you can't. nobody has sold the room glowed with the paint is a close was given in fashion and that's what it's the one is inside of our hearts if in fact it is quite an artist spirits it's causing most so much trauma. we
12:47 pm

12:48 pm
yet look up. and tell you. that there's somebody like. let's work together let's see if we can get something to make or break a trade talks between the u.s. and china move into a second day but new tariffs a jew to come into effect. this is also coming up pictures released by north korea after its second weapons launch
12:49 pm
in five days. the new is accusing caving in to us bullying off to denounce neurons plans to resume nuclear work. a powerful monopoly that threatens democracy a facebook co-founder the calls for the social media john to be broken up. so that trade talks between china and the united states will continue for another day in his new american jew to come into effect for g.m.t. deadline has just takes pride chinese vice president premier. and the u.s. treasury secretary steven chu will meet again on friday washington accuses beijing of breaking commitments the chinese deny this and say that they will retaliate if tariffs all imposed. i have no idea what's going to happen i did get last night a very beautiful letter from president xi let's work together let's see if we can
12:50 pm
get something done but they renegotiated the deal i mean they took whether it's intellectual property theft they took many many parts of that deal and they renegotiated you can't do that. and i'm different than a lot of people i happen to think that tariffs for a country are very powerful you know with a piggy bank that everybody steals from including china arose in jordan has this update now from washington. the first part of trade talks between chinese and u.s. officials did take place as scheduled on thursday evening here in washington it's not clear whether the two sides have resolved a major reason for the incoming tariffs on chinese made products which is that china did not want to modify its local laws in order to allow an eventual trade deal with the u.s. to take effect almost immediately china said that this was be something that it
12:51 pm
could not carry out and that could end up delaying the implementation of any trade deal but that said the two sides are going back to the negotiating table on friday morning to continue their discussions that perhaps is a signal that the two sides are finding more reasons to cooperate and to try to reach a conclusion to this deal which would essentially try to establish a tariff free zone ideally between the two countries the two largest economies in the you know in the world and it would also try to make it easier for both countries to sell products and to allow for the use of intellectual property with mutual respect and legal respect for their company's intellectual property now whether or not a deal can be hammered out by the end of the day on friday remains to be seen it's
12:52 pm
possible that there might need to be another round of discussions but for now u.s. officials believe that after consultations with the u.s. president donald trump that they should go ahead and continue the efforts to broker a trade deal with beijing because it is in the u.s. is view that there is much more to be gained by engaging in trade with china rather than starving it out even though the u.s. is willing to impose tariffs in order to make its point that it wants a level playing field with the chinese manufacturing industry. as the talks continued in washington the top negotiator for the chinese side said it terrified it doesn't serve the interests of either nation. or i've come here in good faith given the current particular circumstances i want to reasonably and frankly exchange opinions with the u.s. side but china believes given the current circumstances adding further tariffs is not a good way to solve any problems it's not favorable for china nor is it favorable
12:53 pm
for the us nor is it favorable for the world so our way out of this whole thing is a principled solution to realistic problems which finally points in the direction of the only result of cooperation or let's go to our correspondent in beijing in age and we are now past the moment where tariffs are supposed to be hiked up what are you hearing. yes as advertised this has gone ahead nick now to sort of cushion the blow though the united states is saying that everything that was shipped you know before these new tariffs kicked in just a few minutes ago will not be subject to the new tariff so that is a sort of grace period effectively that the u.s. government is giving china so that could help to lower the temperature a little bit when those talks resume again on friday but it's going to be very difficult isn't it the atmosphere is still i'm sure going to be very strained because the two sides will be facing each other across the table there be forced
12:54 pm
fix smiles but at the same time i think china will feel that it's negotiating with basically a gun at its head because trump has also been drawing up paperwork to levy taxes on some three hundred twenty five billion dollars worth of chinese products additional good sort of so far not been subject to these new levies so eventually we could have everything that china exports to the united states subject to these very high levies indeed now china has really been putting out a sort of model a defiant message mixed with a bit of indignation saying that you know china will respond with countermeasures and it's not prepared to offer more concessions if it's going to be threatened in this way what can china do well it can make life in this country very difficult for us businesses it could delay for instance the issuing of new licenses delay
12:55 pm
customs clearances for for u.s. goods coming into china also it might decide to start selling a lot of the u.s. debt it holds in the united states in the form of treasury bonds or it could start you know trying to make the yuan stronger in value but those latter things could actually of them italy hurt china's economy say analysts so we have to wait and see what china's response will be whether all. proportionate or whether china will you know go a step further around we'll see how the day progresses as the talk continues in china thanks very much indeed. now the u.s. says it sees a north korean cargo ship this violated international sanctions justice department officials say the ship one of north korea's largest was trying to transport coal it was detained in indonesia a year ago and is now being taken to american samoa. and north korean state media has released pictures of a missile test hours after south korea detected a weapons launch on thursday can soar the test that took place in the country's
12:56 pm
western region it is the second missile test in under a week the launches come just over two months after the hanoi summit between kim and donald trump ended in failure. self korean president has commented on that we said that's collation he said the weapons test all north korea's way of sending a message to the united states quantum trombone honey north korea seem to be considerably discontented it could not reach a deal at the second north korea u.s. summit in hanoi country with the cost of that or you will have on north korea fired missiles that do not directly threaten the united states japan or south korea so they appeared to be careful not to break down the dialogue but they expressed their opinion at the same time this week to robert reich to start standing by for us in seoul the more we hear about what happened on thursday. that's right their defense officials here in seoul have been briefing lawmakers and the national assembly just
12:57 pm
on what took place on thursday and as you mentioned it coincides with the release of photographs now from the state run media of north korea showing kim jong un overseeing what's described as a strike drill by a number of units using a whole array of different or weaponry according to south korea's military in addition to what's assumed to be these two short range missiles being fired in one direction in the other direction firing west into the sea on that side of the korean peninsula where a number of multiple rocket launchers in addition to self-propelled guns so this was a fairly sizable show of force and it comes as five days after a similar weapons a demonstration by the north korean military so it has upped the tension here it is a provocative act but south korea as you've mentioned there with the interview being
12:58 pm
given by moon jay in the president really trying its best not to be provoked very much almost down on playing what has taken place still trying to keep this process of dialogue very much alive moon j.n. in an interview with on thursday evening with south korean media saying that as you heard there this was north korea's way of showing its dissatisfaction with it which is something of an understatement but still saying that he is convinced that north korea has shown it is still committed to negotiating and calling on the north koreans to if it is dissatisfied to show its dissatisfaction in other ways and to come back to the negotiating table next. robbie also comes when the u.s. announced the seizure of a north korean ship accused of breaking sanctions as further complicates matters. that's right the american said this is purely a coincidence this is been announced the seizure of this vessel but it has the effect as you mentioned there of upping the tension this is
12:59 pm
a vessel that has been held in indonesia since early last year it was been accused of breaking sanctions of exporting coal which is very important to north korea it was one of their biggest exports very important to its economy everybody knows that north korea has been getting around sanctions in a number of different ways by things like coal exports to another country being loaded again onto another ship trying to disguise the fact that it comes from north korea about ship to ship transfers of oil at sea and so on the concern for the north koreans is that as more hawkish figures in the u.s. administration would want to see the the u.s. uses more of its intelligence and financial assets and maybe even more of its navy assets in relieve driving home these sanctions and really making sure that they are enforced that's the concern for the north koreans and they don't really don't want to lose any more ships like this one rob thanks a lot european powers to denounced iran's threat to you as you nuclear work drawing
1:00 pm
a sharp response from the iranian foreign minister. zarif tweeted the e.u. statement today is why the nuclear deal is where it is the u.s. has bullied europe and the rest of the world for a year in the e.u. could only express regret instead of demanding that iran unilaterally abide by a multilateral accord the e.u. should uphold its obligations including the normalization of economic ties the europeans also say they're committed to the nuclear deal and wants iran to keep complying with its terms its entire show. iran wasn't officially on the agenda at the e.u. summit in romania but following tehran's move on wednesday to suspend some of its commitments to the twenty fifty nuclear deal european leaders were forced to discuss the crisis the french president said europe still supported the accord known as the j c p o a and he urged iran not to break it off with francis.
