Hi I'm Steve,

I'm a 23-year-old Climate Change Activist

and a Policy Advocate to the United Nations.

I came to Canada in second semester grade 9

and of course I didn't have any friends at the time

and this guy came up to me and said

do you want to join a competition for UNICEF to go to the G8 Summit

and I thought oh I don't have any friends

and I heard this guy is a very smart guy

so I wanted to hang out with him

so I said sure I'll join the project

and one thing led to another,

I represented the Canadian Youth at the G8 Summit back in 2009.

And one of the topics that were discussed at the time was climate change.

And I came back from the Summit being more aware of the understanding of the reality of climate crisis

how it's such an urgent issue and very complex issue.

So I did more research, I learned more about it

and the more I learned about it I had this urge to really share that with my friends

because they should know about this as well.

So I started going to elementary schools and high schools

sharing about what it is that I know about climate change

and my experience through UNICEF at the G8 Summit.

Then that experience opened more doors for me in policy advocacy

and doing more political engagement.

So few years fast forward in 2012

there was a Rio+20 UN Conference on Sustainable Development

and it was held at Rio de Janeiro in Brazil

and I went there thinking oh you know, I get to fly to another country

and how cool is that.

Then I saw this huge presence of civil society of NGOs, activists, and local volunteers

who were there demanding action for climate change and for sustainable future.

And that's where I understood that I've been flying around doing all kinds of policy work

because it was self-glorifying not because it was really the best thing

that I could contribute to solving the problem.

So I remember sitting at the airport coming back to Canada

crying in the airport really reflecting what is it that I'm really contributing to solve this issue

what is the best thing that I can do here and the best thing that I could do

and the best thing that I enjoy doing was engaging my friends about it.

You know, talking to my friends in high schools and universities

and letting them know the reality of climate change

and how we can together solve the issue effectively in the local ground

because the real change happens from person to person just like you and me talking right now

from families from communities and that's where real change happens

and that's what I was missing out on.

So that's what really led me to care about climate change

and really bring solutions from the bottom up from the local communities.

At Rio+20, when the policymakers got together

it was really a 20th year anniversary of the 1992 Earth Summit.

And they together regretted that they did not prioritize investing in youth

and youth education back in 1992 because they said this problem is so urgent

it's so severe that we have to solve it right now.

But 20 years later at Rio+20 in 2012,

they said only if we invested in youth back 20 years ago

the problem wouldn't be this big right now.

And that's what really opened my eyes to see the seriousness

and the importance in youth engagement and youth investment for the brighter future

so that we can raise the leaders today.

SANDRA: THOSE ARE SOME OF THE

CHARGES ON RAY BOWMAN'S CRIMINAL

RECORD.

THE ONLY PROBLEM, HE HASN'T BEEN

IN TROUBLE WITH THE LAW IN

YEARS.

HE CLAIMS THE CRIMES WERE

COMMITTED BY HIS IDENTICAL TWIN

BROTHER.

>> IF WE ARE APART, IT IS VERY

HARD TO TELL WHO IS WHO UNLESS

YOU KNOW US.

SANDRA: BOWMAN DIDN'T KNOW THIS

WAS HAPPENING UNTIL HE STARTED

RECEIVING COURT NOTICES IN THE

MAIL.

HE SHOWED UP TO ONE OF THOSE

COURT DATES AFTER HIS BROTHER

WAS ARRESTED ON THE SANTA ANA

PUEBLO USING HIS NAME.

A COURT OFFICIAL IMMEDIATELY

RECOGNIZED THAT WAS NOT THE SAME

PERSON WHO HAD JUST BEEN

RELEASED DAYS BEFORE.

SHE WASN'T THE ONLY ONE WHO

NOTICED THE MISTAKE.

>> I MADE CONTAC WITH THE

ARRESTING OFFICER.

SHE IMMEDIATELY ACKNOWLEDGED

THAT WE WERE TWO COMPLETELY

DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

SANDRA: THE OFFICER REVIEWED

SURVEILLANCE VIDEO WITH BOWMAN

AND VERIFIED IT REALLY WASN'T

HIM, AND THOSE CHARGES WERE

DROPPED.

BUT ANOTHER CASE IS NOW HEADED

TO A GRAND JURY.

AND THERE'S AN ARREST WARRANT

OUT FOR BOWMAN IN YET ANOTHER

CASE

AND IF YOU GET PULLED OVER --

>> I AM GOING TO JAIL.

SANDRA: BOWMAN SAYS HE WENT TO

THE DA'S OFFICE FOR HELP, BUT

SECURITY WOULDN'T LET HIM

THROUGH THE DOOR.

THEY SAY THEY WILL START LOOKING

THROUGH THOSE CASES RIGHT AWAY.

BOWMAN SAYS HE'S DESPERATELY

HOPING THEY CAN HELP.

>> I JUST WANT SOME TIGHT

RESOLUTION.

SANDRA: I LOOKED UP BOWMAN'S

BROTHER'S CRIMINAL HISTORY.

IT INCLUDES CONVICTIONS FOR A

DWI, RECKLESS DRIVING, CHARGES

FOR A STOLEN CAR, AND AN

OUTSTANDING WARRANT ON LARCENY

CHARGES.

Pharma Bro's Jury Selection Is HILARIOUS - Duration: 4:44.

MARTIN SHKRELI, THE INFAMOUS PHARMA BRO, IS ABOUT TO STAND

TRIAL, AND OF COURSE THE FIRST PART OF THE TRIAL IS JURY

SELECTION.

HOWEVER, THEY ARE HAVING A REALLY HARD TIME FINDING

THE RIGHT JURORS, BECAUSE PEOPLE AREN'T CURRENTLY BIASED

AGAINST HIM.

IN FACT, PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIM, SEE HIS

FACE AND THINK THAT HE LOOKS LIKE A CROOK, AND THAT THEY

CANNOT GET PAST THAT IN ORDER TO RULE IN AN UNBIASED FASHION.

TO GIVE YOU THE DETAILS; MORE THAN 120 POTENTIAL JURORS WERE

DISMISSED MONDAY FROM THE FEDERAL COURT TRIAL IN BROOKLYN,

WHERE HE FACES EIGHT COUNTS OF SECURITIES AND WIRE FRAUD

RELATED TO HIS TWO HEDGE FUNDS, AND HIS DRUG COMPANY.

THIS ISN'T EVEN RELATED TO HIS DRUG COMPANY THAT HE HAD, KNOWN

AS TOURING PHARMACEUTICALS, WHERE HE SAID THAT FAMOUS DRUG

PRICE HIKE, FROM THREE DOLLARS FOR DESCENT RATE FELL TO $750 A

PILL, SO HE IS A BAD DUDE.

WHEN THE POTENTIAL JURORS WERE QUESTIONED ABOUT HIM, HERE ARE

SOME OF THE QUOTES, OR STATEMENTS THAT THEY MADE:

ONE JUROR SAID, "THIS IS THE PRICE GOUGE OR OF DRUGS.

MY KIDS ARE ON SOME OF THESE DRUGS.

THIS IMPACTS MY KIDS."

GONE.

GONE.

I LIKE THE JURY SYSTEM, I KNOW THAT IT'S NOT OFTEN TIMES

POPULAR OPINION, BUT I LIKE FACING A JURY OF MY PEERS,

BUT IT'S KIND OF A WEIRD SITUATION WHERE, IF YOU ARE

PERSONALLY AFFECTED BY THIS, AND HENCE UNDERSTAND IT BETTER

THAN ANYONE ELSE, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED ON THE JURY.

THEY CONSIDER IT BIAS.

I WOULD CONSIDER IT A VERY LEGITIMATE PERSPECTIVE, BUT

THOSE GUYS ARE GONE.

LET ME GIVE YOU A FEW OTHER EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE WHO WILL

NOT BE ON THE JURY.

MANY JURORS SEEM TO SEE SHKRELI AS THE FACE OF CORPORATE GREED

IN AMERICA, THAT IS WHAT ONE INDIVIDUAL SAID.

ANOTHER SAID, "I THINK HE'S A VERY EVIL MAN.

I DON'T THINK I CAN BE FAIR.

MY OPINION IS PRE-WELL-INFORMED, I WOULDN'T WANT TO SERVE ON THIS

JURY."

HE'S SAYING THAT HIS OPINION IS FORMED.

I'M SORRY, FORMED.

I WOULD RELEASE HIM, ONE DUDE THINKS HE IS EVIL BEFORE

THE TRIAL EVEN STARTS.

NOT EVERYONE WHO WAS A POTENTIAL JUROR NEW WHO HE WAS, THEY

DON'T NECESSARILY FOLLOW THE NEWS, BUT THEY SEEM ñ

BUT THEY SEEM TO HAVE A BIAS AGAINST HIM BASED ON FACE ALONE,

AND THAT WAS A PRETTY CREDIBLE COMPONENTS TO THIS STORY.

SO, ONE PERSON DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS STORY

SAID, "I LOOKED RIGHT AT HIM, AND IN MY SAID THAT'S IN MY

HEAD I SAID, THAT'S A SNAKE ñ NOT KNOWING WHO HE WAS."

SOME MIGHT SAY, ISN'T THAT A LITTLE UNFAIR?

BUT HE CAN'T EVEN TAKE A SINGLE PICTURE WITHOUT LOOKING LIKE A

SMUG PRICK.

IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, LET'S GO TO GRAPHIC 9.

LET'S GO TO GRAPHIC 10.

HE JUST ALWAYS HAS THIS ñ

YEAH, HE DOESN'T HAVE TO MAKE THAT FACE.

LOOK AT THAT FACE, WHY DOES HE MAKE THAT BASE?

IT'S LIKE HE WANTS PEOPLE TO HATE HIM.

IT'S NOT THE CONTOURS OF HIS FACE, IT'S THE LOOK THAT HE

CONSTANTLY HAS, LIKE HA HA, I'M SCREWING YOU SOMEHOW.

IT'S THE EXPRESSION.

YEAH, AND THEN MY FAVORITE QUOTE ñ

AGAIN, THIS WAS A PERSON WHO DID NOT KNOW WHAT ABOUT HIM PRIOR TO

JURY SELECTION ñ ONE MAN SAID, "HE KIND OF LOOKS LIKE A DICK."

HE WAS LET ONTO THE JURY BECAUSE THE JUDGE FOUND THAT

STATEMENT TO BE ACCURATE.

NO, HE WASN'T.

SHKRELI MIGHT HAVE A TOUGH TIME IN THIS CASE, PARTLY

BECAUSE HE IS WRONG.

I TOLD YOU, I BELIEVE IN THE JURY SYSTEM, THEY CAN SENSE

THAT THIS GUY IS WHO HE ACTUALLY IS.

YEAH, LOOK, WE OBVIOUSLY COVERED HIM, AND WE KNOW THAT HE IS

NOT A GREAT PERSON; HOWEVER, I THINK EVERYONE, REGARDLESS

OF WHO THEY ARE, DESERVES A FAIR TRIAL, AND SO I DO HOPE

THAT THEY FIND JURORS WHO ARE NOT IMMEDIATELY BIASED

AGAINST HIM, AND I HOPE JUSTICE IS SERVED.

THAT'S MY TAKE ON IT.

IF YOU SAY SO.

NO, OF COURSE!

OF COURSE.

I KNOW SHKRELI MIGHT BE A UNIQUE CASE, BUT OVERALL DON'T MAKE

JUDGMENTS ABOUT PEOPLE BASED ON THEIR FACE.

BELIEVE ME, YOU WILL HAVE 20 OF EVIDENCE

TO DECIDE THAT HE IS A

DICK ANYWAY.

"A Rape Poem When There Is No Justice; Or, #WhyWomenDontReport" (take 2) - Duration: 3:56.

"A Rape Poem When There Is No Justice; Or, #WhyWomenDontReport"

Can I just write a poem that says "fuck the police," for every single line,

for every single stanza, and leave it at that?

Because I'm imagining his next victim - because there will be a next one - and how she will

feel when she finds out that he had my former report on his private police record,

accessible only by certain police.

I want to scream, but the metal chain he put around my throat to choke me because,

"ha ha you like that, right?" after I had already said no,

is still there, so nothing can come out of my mouth;

except, I've already been screaming as loud as I can, for so long;

One year, and I'm still not free.

His body weight is still crushing me, still heavy;

the bruises on my body still felt every day; my body a museum of decaying loss and

my mind is a perfect video recording that plays on repeat whenever I just

want some

sleep.

Nightmares I wake from and can't wake from.

I think one of the hardest days of my life was when I got my rape kit.

I mean- you know- other than the actual rape.

I developed a stutter that day.

I blame myself.

I blame myself.

I-I-I blame myself.

But I can't!

Even though all of the "no's" that I said to him didn't matter, the police said;

even though everything non consensual still didn't count;

even though it was only the one coerced "yes" that counted;

Still scared for my life, but, fuck the police, right?

And all the times that I said to the police "yes" that I was raped;

those times collapse and boom like a bomb on deaf ears of the detectives who tell me

that, "maybe you just regretted having sex with him

Or how about the second cop I met, who rolled his eyes at me when he learned

that I met my rapist on tinder?

I gave the cop a smile, and answered that yes, that's true,

because what else was I supposed to do but tell the truth?

Or, the first thing he said to me when writing the initial police report was "so then you

had a few drinks..."

Well no, sir, that's not what happened, at all.

Back up.

Please.

Listen.

Still.

I've been silenced enough.

I thought I was doing the right thing to heal.

Still.

In my partial hospitalization program that I went to for my diagnosis of PTSD,

that I got from my rapist, I learned that the "right" thing to do was to seek help right

away after a traumatic incident so that it doesn't

lead to lifelong suffering; And I've always wanted to do the right thing:

Like getting him arrested for raping me.

But the police still haven't listened even when my body has been confiscated, graffiti

marked by my rapist, torn apart, bruised, and filled with ghosts;

and the police still tell me coldly to just

seek counseling;

because, after all:

I "consented," and that my rapist isn't a rapist in the eyes of the law.

My rapist isn't a rapist but my rapist still IS a rapist and he's still going free.

I did the right thing, but I'm still stuck night after night waking up crying;

I wonder who will be next and that person's weight is added on top of me;

The gallery of bruises he inflicts will just continue, and I wonder

where on snapchat will they be next?

3 Reasons Why the BRAND NEW Grey-Nicolls Atomic is Incredible - Cricket Bat Reviews - Duration: 3:11.

Stuart.

Hamish.

This is what we've been waiting for, mate.

New stock from Gray-Nicolls.

Have a look at it.

It's the Gray-Nicolls Atomic,

and a magnificent bat as you can see,

the grain on it is top notch.

That doesn't necessarily make a bat,

but you can always guarantee that you're getting a

high quality stick when the grain looks like that.

Stu, why would people buy this bat?

Why is this gonna be the standout bat of the Australian summer?

So, this is the Atomic 1000 model.

I think probably the three key points for this one are:

the profile,

the pickup,

and its value.

So, great profile.

As you can see, the maximum size edge you can get.

Flatter spine, but nice and full.

So that obviously allows you to get as much wood into the bat

without making it too heavy.

Weight range from 2 lbs. 7 oz. to 2 lbs. 9 oz.

but with that mid profile, very well-balanced bat.

Gives you that nice, light pickup.

Excellent value, under $500.

All our bats are hand-selected at factory level by Gray-Nicolls.

So this is definitely going to be a winner this season.

Yeah, to me, it's got a very thin handle --

and you can always change that by throwing another grip --

I've always been someone that's preferred a thick grip.

But, unbelievably, this picks up just amazing --

Yeah, really, really light.

-- considering there's so much willow there.

The shape's beautiful.

We can see how much the shape of a cricket bat has changed

over a 40- to 50-year period

by looking at the old Gray-Nicolls that we have here.

And that weight is about the same, amazingly.

Have a look at this one here, the profiles there.

And that's basically how bats have evolved over the last 40 years.

Let's give it a bit of a ping and see what it's like in the middle.

Nice, low middle there, too.

Yep.

Which, you're just getting that little bit of extra value with this.

Beautiful!

What you'd come to expect from Gray-Nicolls and a top-line bat --

100%.

-- from Gray-Nicolls.

Really nice bat, that one.

We're coming to you, live as you can see,

from the Kingsgrove Sports Centre Museum,

one of the reasons why Kingsgrove Sports Centre is a destination store.

So feel free to come and see us, our amazing range,

and also the great museum that we have here.

Love Island Spoiler: Shock DOUBLE dumping is set to rock the house as "least compatible" - Duration: 2:55.

Love Island Spoiler: Shock DOUBLE dumping is set to rock the house as "least compatible" couple are asked to leave

The remaining Love Island couples wont have any time to relax after the dust settles over the last recoupling - there is set to be a DOUBLE elimination in tonights explosive episode.

As part of the shock new twist there will no public vote, instead the contestants will decide amongst themselves who will go and who should be allowed to stay.

The couples must choose based on who they think are the least compatible couple in the villa - with the losing team getting the boot.

Camilla and Johnny, Sam and Chloe, Olivia and Chris, Marcel and Gabby, Dom and Tyla, Kem and Amber and Montana and Simon will all be asked to go into their couples to discuss who they think should be next to leave the villa.

Once theyve made their decision each pair will send a text with their answer before all the islanders are gathered together by the fire pit and the couple voted least compatible are dumped from the island.

Its been a rocky few days for the couples with even former power couple Kem and Amber showing the strain of living in the high-pressured environment.

Kem and Amber, who have previously exchanged infinity bracelets, have had string of rows since the arrival of hunky newbie Simon. Amber admitted the new boy was her type as her and Kems bickering reached boiling point.

They arent the only ones who could be in trouble - the compatible clause is sure to raise questions over friend-zone couples like Chloe and Sam - who was the last man standing at the last recoupling.

On-off couple Camilla and Johnny could also be in danger as the contestants speculate just how into each other they really are.

Johnny does not play Camilla zero attention, says Dom. They dont even sit together so I think Johnny is playing a big game.. After contender Jessica Shears shock eviction last week anything is possible.

As the game intensifies even solid couples like Marcel and Gabby and Olivia and Chris could be in danger.
