between israel and hamas. calls for a ceasefire intensifies. representatives from egypt and region. >> i think there's an open or hidden wish to arrive to an immediate ceasefire. >> we want to see an immediate cessation of the assault, of this aggression, military assault against the palestinian people. we also want to see that israel is held to account. meanwhile the fighting goes on, israeli missiles blasting targets in gaza and hamas taking responsibility for issuing a new weapon - sending a number of drones. hamas called it a surprise special mission that it promised. the israeli confirmed it, intercepting one and blowing it to "smithereens", caught in the middle thousands of civilians. so far no israelis have been killed thanks to the

u.s.-funded defense system iron dome. if it fails, it would be inevitable. in gaza the death toll is 185, and continues to climb. >> all indications are, and i find this particularly dramatic, that women and children make up a sizeable number of victims of the counter strikes. more than one quarter of the fatalities are children. >> more than 1300 people have been wounded in gaza, thousands of are fleeing in search of safety. joining us from gaza city is al jazeera america correspondent nick schifrin. thank you for joining us. we heard from shimon peres and another, calling for a ceasefire. secretary of state john kerry is heading to egypt, which is proposing a truth. is there a sense that there is an appetite to de-escalate on either side? >> i think the discussions are fluid.

there's appetite on either side right now, if either side say conditions are going be met. what is clear in the last few minutes, in the last few hours is there is positive movement and momentum toward this diplomatic solution. u.s. officials vey secretary of state john kerry has been talking about a pause. he's not using the ward ceasefire, but a pause, 74, 48, 72 hours so me can be in the middle of diplomacy. he's planning on a trip to cairo and doha. those are the two countries in the middle of this mediation. if you talk to either side there are different conditions. basically all sides are talking about a few things. one, they are talking about the oem up of rafa, a border crossing between egypt and hamas. they are demanding the release of prisoners. the israelis are talking about demill it airisation of gaza.

egypt, turkey, and they are trying to figure out if they'll figure something out. egypt has something on the table. over the next few dales, hours, all the sides will talk, getting together and trying to end the violence. >> there are positive movement. but there's tragedy also. the united nations said 77% of casualties are civilians, and more than a quarter dead are children. you are on the ground. what is life like there on the ground for the people? >> i think some of these strikes and the aftermath are horrific. israel uses a lot of technology, intelligence, to try to hit the target. they are surrounded by civilians, they are in the middle of residential neighbourhoods, and on two occasions offer the weekend and friday we saw horrific aftermath, including dead

children, heavily wounded women. the u.n. has the statistic, about how many women and children are being wounded. from israel's side they say they take all pains to avoid civilian casualty yes. but at the end of the day they are hitting the targets, a lot of people in gaza are suffering. as you mentioned, the hospitals, for example, are having a shortage of medical supplies. there's an urgent humanitarian team here. 60 million needed quickly. >> we have about 30 seconds - do you believe gazans have hope that their leadership will move towards some peace? >> i think all gazans would say they want peace right now. the question of whether hamas guess. what hamas is saying is we are standing strong against israel, we are fighting israel, and in this negotiation that is happening, clearly hamas wants certain concessions. it it can deliver those the

people of gaza will thank hamas for that. >> nick schifrin, thank you for your time. >> the current conflict between israel and hamas is an all-too familiar cycle of violence and deja vu. in israel the median age is 29, it's younger in the gaza strip , where the average palestinian is 18. as leaders in the region grow older, years of instability had a profound effect on a generation of palestinians and israelis who live side by side, but barely know one another. the brutal killings that triggers the violence exposes raw feelings on the ground for a generation struggling to ore come adversity. joining us an interfaith community organiser, and the palestinian student studying a princeton, a member of the

princeton committee on palestine and an interfaith organiser. both of you are involved trying to make things better between palestinians and israelis. how is it affecting relations on your camp u the latest struggle? >> thank you for having me, it's a pleasure to be on, first of all. my reaction to the current situation is that any time civilian lives are placed at risk, it's a deplorable situation. at the same time i feel that israel is in a difficult position. hamas operatives are targetting israeli civilians, and at the same time placing their own palestinian civilians at risk. i feel like any government would not accept constant rocket fire on civilians, they are in a tough place. >> your say? >> we are not on campus right now. in interactions with classmates over the summer we have been seeing that a lot of people are

disturbed by what is happening. specifically with my palestinian - princeton committee on palestine members, a lot are concerned that this came at a time when it's inappropriate. seems there's an anger, but the constant bombings on civilian populations doesn't seem to achieve any goals. do you know what you mean? >> you are not on campus, you guys are friends and at princeton. the conflict is happening there. how does it, if you will, bleed relationships? >> it becomes a conversation where some people will definitely identify with their own, right. if i am a palestinian activist, i'll add vo kate for that side and say, you know, this is the situation; that the media may not be covering much. others will say, you know, look at the situation on the other side. israel - there are rockets that

are falling, and it's causing a lot of mayhem. >> mark, listen, during the current crisis, of course, situations are tense. do you think now, you can break bread and eat hommas with lena in america. >> 100% we can. that's the main thing that we try to do with our dialogue on campus, create an environment in which no matter what political discussions we are having or what is going on in the world at that time, we can relate to each other on a personal basis. i am sure lena feels the same way. i think our friendships come before a political disagreement. >> that's encouraging, because a can aid yam imbrand -- cannes aid yam immigrant has a project ask an israeli ask a palestinian. this was before the latest fighting. take a look. >> what is your message to

israeli youth? . >> what is your message to the youth of gaza? . >> all right. lena? >> i mean, it's sad. you see they don't see each other. palestinians don't interact with israelis. i have a lot of family and friends in palestine and they never met israelis, even though they are in the west bank, and the settlements are next door. >> side by side. >> literally. it's because of the apartheid system that has been built and perpetuated in the past decade, it's sad, it's a system segregating palestinians from israel. i feel a lot of palestinians are frustrated by that.

the situation before, there was more interaction, but since the '90s, that has not happened. >> mark, what do you think they'd stay now after teenagers on both sides were murdered. there's so much hate and anger which is disturbing. >> yes, i mean i think the violence against teenagers and against innocent kids is so deplorable on both sides. at the same time, i feel that social media has been used as a tool and can be used as a tool to bridge the gaps between the two groups. we have seen efforts among jewish israelis spread through facebook to visit the family in east jerusalem at their home, and they were welcomed there. although social media can serve to maybe bring people apart, at the same time it can bring

people together and cap. >> my twitter and facebook is blowing up. i am talking about american palestinians and american jews responding. do you think social media has escalated tensions within groups here in america. >> the one thing that outraged a lot of people is that there was a social media response on the part of israelis. i don't know if israelis there or american israelis. it perpetuated hate against arabs. it sends a lot of bad messages. i think that social media serves its purpose. there's a lot of bringing people together, lots of event bringing people together to protest against what is happening. it can be abused, the way it has in the past. >> there is a ruse in some injective on social media. polls show the younger generation is moving to the right.

the last election in 2013, two thurds of voters described themselves as moving to the right or outright right wing. a poll showed israelis under 35 scribed their affiliation as right, come paired with 59% above 49. israelies under 35 is likely to say their country is heading in the wrong direction. why do you think this is? >> it's important to view the statistics in the context of the way that young israelis have grown up, and the situations that they have endured as they have grown up. for example, young israelis lived through the oslo accords in 1993, and kind of the end of in good faith peace negotiations and seeing the situation deteriorate, we have seen, and interforwarda a dissen gagement from gaza and a barrage of

rockets against israeli civilians. the younger generation does not have a lot of trust for the other side. they associate the other side with the events that occurred recently, with violence against their civilians. >> israelis and palestinians are deeply, deeply skeptical about a peace process. do you think it will happen? >> i mean, currently what we see is when the plo came to the table to negotiate israel said "we can't negotiate you don't represent the entire population." when the unity government came, israel said we can't negotiate because you have terrorists here. they can't say no, and then when it happens, say no for another reason. if it goes away it has been. with the current political administration, a peace process is not promising. with this segment. like you were saying, the youth

are the future. a lot of palestinian youth are fed up with the system. lots are unhappy. i know that israelis are unhappy with their leadership. hope for the future is the way to go. >> thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. now for some more stories from around the world. . >> we begin in ukraine where russia may be getting more involved in the conflict between ukranian forces and pro-russian separatists. one man was killed and two women injured on sunday in a russian region, a shell that russians claim came from ukranian territory. on monday, russians were accused aircraft. >> translation: mobile rocket launchers used by rebels cannot shoot down the plane. it means it was shot down by a

powerful weapon, used probably from the territory of the russian federation. >> both sides deny an involvement. next on sunday. i met with the family of some of the girls kidnapped by boko haram. malala yosafzai gained international recognition when stopped by the palestine for supporting education for . >> she met with the organisers of the bring back our girls campaign, and nigerian president goodluck jonathan, who promised to bring back the kidnapped girls. we finish in england where the church of england allowed women to serve as bishops, overturning centuries of tradition on an

issue that divided the church. the church attempted to change to 2012. now, the only obstacle remaining is to petition queen elizabeth, making the decision official. that is some of what is happening around the world. coming up, a potential breakthrough on immigration. we talk about a bipartisan proposal from texas. and a threat though eric holder calls more frightening than anything i have seen as an attorney-general. and harmeli aregawi is tracking the top stories on the web. what is tracking >> we are left with new social media records. from south-east to streakers - the highlights coming up. and while you are watching let us know what you think. you can join the conversation op twitter, facebook and google+. >> al jazeera america presents

congress wants solutions to the immigration crisis that sees

50,000 unaccompanied children arrive on our borders. two senators offered a bill on tuesday to do that. they called it a bipartisan bill "the humane act", saying it would ease the crisis by allowing the young central american migrants to voluntarily choose to be sent home, and would preserve the children's league at right, and the right it claim asylum while adding 40 immigration judges to speed up the process. i'm joined by jason johnson from atlanta georgia, a professor and contributor. thank you for joining us. >> glad to be here. >> the humane act would weaken existing protections for central american migrants so they could be removed quickly. we do it for mexican immigrants, so why should be do it for

salvador. >> because we are in a crisis. a lot would be solved in the immigration reform is finished. there was a bipartisan bill. it hasn't been solved. everyone is putting fingers in the dyke. it's a stop gap band-aid on the san andreas fault. it won't go further. >> why would child migrants agree to voluntarily return to the homes they fled. for example, honduras is the murder capital of the world. why would a kid voluntarily want that? >> no one would. this is a mitt romney suggestion. people would self-deport. no one will do that. no 14-year-old travelling thousands of miles, dealing with coyotes real

and smugglers and dangers of the desert will wake up, get a lollipop and say "i want to go home", it's a naive way to look at the problem. it's what democrats and republicans imagine in their heads will work. >> would speeding up ut legal process discourage them from fleeing here. the white house said the children, most likely coming here would be able to make an asylum claim. what is this all for? >> well, what this is for is to make it look like you are doing something. congress will not take immigration reform. you have 57,000 kids, and you have more coming over every day, some are coming over because there's danger and violence. some because they are looking for jobs. some because they play the legislative telephone game and they think the dream mat would allow you to stay in the united states. there's a lot of reasons why young people are coming over. this bill, if it speeds up the

process by determining whether young children can have an asylum or not, that would be helpful. it will not stop children coming here. that. you said the million dollar word, the unicorn, the bipartisan bill, a rartity in the congress. do you think it could pass. given what has been happening, is this dead on arrival? >> i don't think it's dead on arrival. what form it passes this is the real concern. everyone along the border things it needs to be fixed. you have dead crews, rick perry with a lot of political motivations to get something past and look like they have accomplished something with a humanitarian crisis. i do think something can get done. the problem is what riders will john boehner ask for, from president obama, in order to get this through the house, and before the 2014 midterms. that we don't know.

>> and the republicans love the word "security." the humane act is supposed to include a border security plan. this. >> one group will say they want a fence. another will say they want more soldiers. most of what barack obama was asking for when he asked for the $3.7 million was increased security. the fact of the matter is both of the people living on the border of the united states and the people crossing, more border security is necessary. there are a lot of dangerous men and women smuggling kids across, and they need to be handled. there are gang members travelling back and forward across the border. there needs to be security. if it's trained border patrol as opposed to crazy vigilantes, we can get something accomplished. >> talking about the crisis at the border, can the bill ease even if it doesn't solve the crisis on the border, this bill.

>> no, it will not ease anything. >> don't be too optimistic. >> yes. people will come as long as their countries are in a bad shape. if we want to do something about illegal immigration in the united states, we'd look at our own self, the man and woman in the mirror. we'd go to the farms if texas, california, bringing in migrant workers to get poultry and pick oranges. we'd go to the businesses in construction bringing in migrant workers and pay them under the table and let them run willy-nilly. if we did something to the businesses we could solve a lot of problems and focus on the humanitarian crisis like the kids that need asylum. switching topics from the crisis on the border to a growing threat from a reported link up between al qaeda and yemen, and the islamic state in syria and iraq. islamic state fighters are

collaborating with yemeni bomb-makers, to build a device that can be put on a laptop or cell phone and carried on a plane. eric holder was told "i think we are at a dangerous time." >> in some ways it's more frightening than anything i have seen as an attorney-general. you have people with the technical know how and people with a fervor to give their lives in support of a cause given at the united states and allies. it's something that gives us extreme concern. >> all right. for more, joining me from washington d.c. a former federal bureau of investigation agent and counterterrorism expert who conducted research in north and east. thank you for joining us, tim. attorney general eric holder said "it's a dangerous time." do you agree?

>> absolutely, no question. the situation now, al qaeda is in the arabian peninsula, is a small faction. it's saudi arabia and yemenis joining together, there's only several hundred. when you add in al qaeda in iraq, or i.s.i.s., islamic state in iraq and syria, the situation in is that you have very, very well-trained and hardened fighters with incredible hardware. now to take that technology and know how and expand it around the western world with the capabilities that a.q.a.p. are adding to the picture - secretive bomb making, things that can be secreted in electronic devices, which is a reason we had the threat with airline traffic. this mixing of the smaller ideological

group and the regime is a terrible threat. >> do you think failing to heed warnings from the n.s.a. chief, and another warning two months before 9/11. are attorney general eric holder's warnings as concerting as that or should we not get into the high pesha liesing or fear mongering. >> the attorney-general is saying what he is saying for a reason. he's privy to intelligence that is offered every day. for him to come out publicly and say the things he said, i think there's room for concern. the issue i.s.i.s. has, they are occupied taking over territory in iraq, they want the region, and they'll march on the border of jordan or sowed next. they are preoccupied. they are not looking to push the influence outside that area immediately. long-term they would be.

i don't know if long-term means a month or 10 years. the the threat is real. what the timetable is, i don't intelligence. >> you mentioned syria. attorney general eric holder was in europe for meetings last week with ministers and said "the primary focus of all of our conversations was the 7,000 foreign fighters in syria and iraq who have passports and can travel with impunity. do we need to track all these people to feel and stay secure? >> i think we have to. if there's a lesson from 9/11, the 19 hijackers we didn't track, coming under student visas and other programs, most staying beyond their adviceas, if any status that they had. if they don't look at the people. if we don't look at them. they are foreign fighters trained in an

ideological pool, the ses pool of civilisation. what is going on in i.s.i.s., with the rains, sexual jihad in mosul, torturing or killing people that don't join them, that's not something we can mitigate or tolerate. this is an ideology that believes women should be subjugated in any way, and any western civilisation is haram, it's ver boat om. if we don't track them... >> we have 7,000 fighters going to syria, the islamic state, in iraq, boko haram, the threat - but, do we have the resources, as a nation, to tackle it? >> we have the resources whether we want to delegate to this cause is a different story. people have seen the number of years passing since 9/11. we are back to a september 10th mentality. we need to realise that the threat has never subsided since

9/11. it has existed. it's slowly grown up again. i know the president a couple of years ago during the last campaign said al qaeda was on the run, but they are not the only islamist extremist group that dislikes the west. >> islamic state reportedly acquired nuclear material from a scientific lab in mosul. could it be used in a dirty bomb, could it be smuggled on board a plane. >> to answer the first part of the question, absolutely it could be used. we are not talking about highly enriched uranium. it was taken from a lab. >> it could be medical isotopes. but the threat of a dirty bomb is real. it's taking a raid logical element, an isotope and dispersing it with a conventional explosive.

whether it could get on to a plane, i'm not sure. there are radiation detectors in the airports, and the level of explosive you need a large quantity to distribute even though there is only a small alt of radioactive material. the last story about the border. if we have that, where tens of thousands of people are crossing. what is to prevent these individuals for taking a dirty bomb across the border. >> airlines and governments have been alerted to an airborne attack. how much more difficult will it make for aliyer in the arabian peninsula to -- al qaeda in the off. >> it may reroute the plans. if they wanted to come in using an airline, it is more dv. if there's in -- difficult, if there's intel or word leaked or signals intelligence and we react to that, in a way like

t.s.a. did in the last few weeks where we ask counterparts around the world to monitor electronic devices going in, making sure they were operational and making sure they were not dummied up. if we shut down the avenue, it doesn't mean the tensions end. if the bad guys want to bring in an explosive. maybe they'll go to a third-world airport or try some other means to get inside the united states and find a softer target. former special agent tim time. time to see what is trending on the web. >> the world cup is over. it's left us with so much to play with on the web. the final game broke social media records, inspiring more than 618,000 tweets and 280 million facebook posts.

here are the highlights. germany's player didn't play, but his photo with his team-mate after the game was re-tweeted almost 100,000 times. he got one with german chancellor angela merkel. rihanna, who provided commentary shared photos of herself partying with the winning team. pele sent a congratulatory tweet and jims captured this streaker. the trouble maker with natural born prankster on his chest is a russian comedian and tried to kiss a jeman player. he -- german player, he was dragged off the field. a lot were fascinated by the off-center rats tail of a player. share your world cup moments on twitter. a lot of great moments on and off the field wajahat ali. >> it was awesome. ahead - didn't america do away

the era of seg re gags is a moral stain on our county. in louisiana, they are trying to separate the city. the residents claim the schools are failing their kids, but the solution could make schools in the city more segregated than ever before. a front line documentary "separate but unequal" airs on pbs on tuesday. >> these schools are some of the worse in the country, some of the most violent in the county. no one is getting educated. >> they begun a movement to form a new city out of a large area of suburban neighbourhoods, taking part of the east baton rouge school system with them. >> joining us the producer, mary robertson. in the documentary you cite work

done by an economist in 2013 predicting that a city of st george would be 70% white and leave the rest of the baton rouge with a deficit. what is the impact on baton rooug schools if the city is incorporated and separates? >> that is the question that is at the core of the debate in many, many ways. those that oppose the creation of this hypothetical city believe that what you would see is a worsening or deepening of seg ration. a dire consequence would be that we would leave those that need the most with the least. >> 60 years ago we had brown versus board of education, we had the civil rights act 10 years after. america thought it was done, everything was fantastic. looking at all the stats, it's fascinating. in 2011, the pj of plaque students in majority white schools was 23%.

lor than in 1968. resegregation? >> we interviewed gary in our film, who is a distinguished professor and academic. gary points to a series of supreme court decisions that began in 1991 that slowly eroded the government's ability to enforce deseg ration orders, forcing districts to integrate. this was a surprise, not on my radar prior to this film. gary orfield would add that essentially the rulings were adjudicated that we live in a post racial america or a parity among the racist had achieved and the government need no longer act to achieve equity. all. >> there has been consequences not just in baton rouge, but we

are seeing this in chicago and new york. what gives? >> you know your stuff. >> we do the research. >> absolutely. the movement in baton rouge mirrors movements around the counteredry. not just in the south, it's present in tennessee, in georgia, and present in malibu california and iowa and salt lake city. >> some people say steer to the south, it has the history. you are looking at malibu. what is going on? what is going on in chicago? it has its own - you talked about race and class. how do we explain the places that to most americans are like maybe we can understand the historical legacy. what gives. there are some distinguishing characteristics, but what you see across the board are district. neighbourhoods on the periphery of districts.

they want to become districts. they want to keep the tax dollars closer to home. opponents would say they are failing to take into consideration those matter. >> if the baton rouge education system was excellent. they'd have no prom. dent the parents and the communities, don't they justify in providing their child the best education. the system is so bad, one of the worst in the nations, if we don't incorporate. the children's future. them. >> we were drawn to the story because of the complexity. almost every viewer identifies with the story. as a parent or a student most fall into a category. all of us understand why an individual would want the best

for their child, a quality education. we saul see the quality benefits. the future and the help and vitality. so, yes, those fighting for the system say they are doing this because the school system feels to meet their needs. >> to be fair and balanced, let's go to the flipside. say. >> this is about lives, potential that we are squashing by continuing to carve up our school district, that we could do wonderful things together. we are stronger as one than we are broken up into pieces. >> very easy question. is it better or all the citizens of st george to remain united and not seek - basically to remain unified and not seek - incorporation.

>> my job is not to have opinions, but to observe, report and chronicle it. those that oppose the creation of this city, like this woman featured in the film, they believe the district is making gapes, their perform -- gains, their performance went up 25 points. they know how to fix the system and don't want to undermine that success, and they believe they are stronger together than broken up into pieces. >> watch the documentary on pbs. coming up. "scandal" star moves from the presidency to the innocent project and tells us how he hopes to make a difference in the judicial system. >> on tech know, >> what if there was a miracle? >> grace's stem cells are in this box. >> that could save the live of your child... >> we're gonna do whatever we can >> would yo give it a try? >> cell therapy is gonna be the next big advance in medicine

your global news leader. today's data dive gets a dose of medicine. mary poppins made a spoonful of sugar famous. a study published in paediatrics looks at 300 parents whose children were treated at emergency roms in new york city. they found a third of parents gave the wrong dose. why? miscommunication. one in six used an average kitchen spoon instead of a teaspoon or a tablespoon, thinking they were interchangeables. spoonfuls are likely to be the wrong dose, and it's dangerous. too much and kids could suffer a life-threatening illness or effect. too little and it won't treat the illness. the reachers are urging doses in mill litres to avoid confusion and to search the advice of professionals. unfortunately everyone thinks

they are dugy howser or dr quinn medicine woman. a third of americans used the internet to self-diagnose, using google. and others went to web md. worse, half of sfl-diagnoses did not go to a doctor. when they did 41% said their self-diagnosis was confirmed and 18% said the doctors disagreed. people be safe. coming up.

>> it was a disturbing character. characters. >> i have. they are interesting. >> you are not a typical guy. >> maybe that's why it's interesting to cast me, to find character. >> now you are involved in a new show, the first scripted show for wi tv. watched the first episode. it was terrific. >> thank you. project. >> correct. >> it's been an incredible job, at freeing people using d.n.a. why did you decide this is something you wanted to do. why did you want to focus on this issue? >> i made a film a few years ago called "conviction", with hillary swanking and it was a true story about an innocent projects case where a man spent 18 years in prison. his sister uneducated and poor

became an tornaly to get them out -- attorney to get him out. and with the help of d.n.a. and the innocent project she became a lawyer and got him out. i was fascinated with the innocent projects and moved by the work they do in every story of their cases and thought these stories need to get out there, and i wanted to shine a light on the work they were doing, but they are so dramatic. at the end of the day, what i do for a living is to try to tell great stories. the bonus is when you shine light on social issues like reforming our justice system... >> it's full of great stories. >> that's right. >> the divide has shats of conviction -- shades of conviction. i can see how some carries into the show. you are involved with the minutes project. >> i support -- about the innocents project. >> as much as i can, by telling stories, like "the

divide", and "the conviction", and there's support of actors. john grisham and i are involved. >> they are getting 3,000 calls a year from prison ers asking for help. and there's a backlog and d.n.a. has been great this helping to exonerate people. >> i don't know if you saw a study by the national academy of sciences which did an analysis. forgive me if the numbers are wrong, but 10-15% of people incarcerated are innocent of the crimes they are incarcerated for. on death row the numbers are 4% or 5%. >> that's a lot of people. >> that fall through the cracks in the system for various reasons. the innocent project in addition to exonerating people is making burying peter and their connected organization, doing a

lot to reform the cracks in the justice system so people don't go to gaol wrongfully in the first place. not only are they freeing a lot of people, in many of those cases they are taking the d.n.a. they are convicting people that were the criminals. it's a double positive. this happened in louisiana. prosecutors thankfully agreed to retest d.n.a. after 17 years on a rape charge, and they not only felt that he was innocent, but they pointed through the d.n.a. database, they found the guy who did do it and was in prison for another crime. >> so the divide is not just a legal tv series, you are focussing on the characters and people. >> what the show is about, is it centers on one case where the da of philadelphia made a career on a racially charged capital

murder space, and as one of the two guys in prison is about to be executed a young woman from the innocence project uncovered evidence that unravelled this whole thing. what we look at is the way that a crime destabilizes and derails the lives of many involved in the da. his families, his reputation. this young woman, the victims of the crime, potentially the innocent convict. you know, and then all the grey areas where there's looking at the injustice in the system, the grey areas, and it extends to the institutional morality and personal morality, how we look at this, where we are lives. >> it's compelling and draws us in. before you go i have to talk to you about being the president of the united states. you have always been involved politically. i know you were a president of the creative coalition.

>> that's right. >> that's something you have been interested in. this led you to be involved in washington politics and met the president of the united states. >> fascinating. i've been a political junkie. i've been a chief of staff, press secretary, special advisor to the president, many parts, and now i'm the man him. this year at the white house correspondent dinner i met president obama, it was surreal. >> how was the experience? >> thrilling. surreal is the best way to describe it. you walk up to him and he says "hello mr president." >> he said that to you. >> or touring the white house, and people go the president is here, and i'm looking around thinking "he is", they were talking about me. >> congratulations on "divide", and "scandal." you're a busy man. >> thank you for having me on. >> premiering this once on wi tv. that's all for now, the
