>> don't try this at home. >> "techknow" - where technology meets humanity. monday, 6:30 eastern. only on al jazeera america. >> part of al jazeera america's >> special month long evironmental focus fragile planet >> good evening to you. you're watching al jazeera america. i'm morgan radford. it's not the first time the former south carolina police officer charged with murdering an unarmed black man has been accused of using excessive force in the past. now we'll show you the dashcam video from the moments just before that deadly encounter. plus, a warning from iran. leaders in tehran say they will leave no nuclear deal unless sanctions are lifted the moment agreement is signed.

>> we're getting a new look at what happened just shortly an unarmed black man was shot and killed by a police officer in south carolina just last weekend. now that officer has since been arrested and charged with murder but today it was confirm confirmed that he has been accused of using excessive force in the past. just released dashcam video from the patrol car. what does it show us?

>> we see in this video you see walter scott. you see him pull slowly in the parking lot in this this mercedes. then you can hear that he says you've been pulled over because he has a broken taillight and then he asks for license and registration. and then a couple of minutes after that that's when walter scott opens his car door, and he runs. you can see some of the audio and you hear commotion. you hear running. but at that appointment the open encounter stops and you don't see anything more. there does appear to be a second person in the vehicle with wall walter scott. >> we haven't identified yet the second person, but the truth is that it sounds like we've been here before we also learned that

he had been accused of excessive force, but was exonerated. what happened there? >> we heard from a man today mario gibbons. he spoke out with his attorney, he had an encounter a year and a half ago with officer slagger and another officer who came to his home. they were looking for a burglary suspect, who happened to be his brother and he said you're looking for my brother. but they continued to be aggress sufficient with him and slager tased him with the stun gun. and his attorney now says what happened with walter scott he's hoping that this case will be reopened and relooked at to see if slagger in that case used excessive force. we heard from that attorney a short time ago. >> i believe that there are

systemic problems in the way that the city of north charleston enforces the law the way that the city of north charleston intimidates its citizens. in the way that north charleston shows a sense of disregard. >> i should point out that mario gibbons, he did file a complaint with the police department a year and a half ago saying that those officers used assesssive force. but he was exonerated. now they're filing a civil suit to hopefully get recourse and have the police re reopen his case. there is a city council meeting happening tonight. there is no public comment portion scheduled for tonight but we do hear and understand from protesters that they do plan to attend. >> i hope that you keep your eyes out for us because there are a lot of unanswered

questions. jonathan martin joining us live from north charleston, thank you for join us. >> the mother of walter scott said that she has yet to watch that video camera and she spoke about the possibility of never seeing her son again. >> i just have to take one day at a time. what will happen will happen. that's the way it will be. but i can only hope that it's not forever. at only my family but scott's family. >> speaking of taking care of everyone involved. she now has to take her pregnant

daughter-in-law to doctor's appointments now that her son is in jail. but first let's take a look at some of the statistics of police involved shootings in south koreasouth carolina. here's what they found. police officers find their weapon at suspects 209 times. 79 suspects were killed. three officers were accused of misusing force and none of the accused officers were convicted. edward bryant is the president of the naacp's local chapter. he joins us live. thank you for joining us this evening. >> thank you for having me. >> absolutely. after the mike brown shooting in ferguson two after americans two elected to council. the police chief resigned and some were fired. do you think the same changes

will happen in north charleston? >> hopefully we'll have changes taking place north charleston as well. >> you mentioned you hope to see some changes but specifically what do you want to see happen? >> could you repeat, please? >> you said you wanted to see some changes happen, but specifically what do you want to see done differently? >> i would like to see some things done differently with the city administration. first of all the geographical makeup of the city to the administration area, i would like to see things changed. and at the police level as well.

less than 19 officers on the police officer are minority, and we need to have that changed as well. those are the beginning changes that need to be changed. not only that, we want to make sure that the circumstances that happened here don't happen again. >> you mentioned the racial makeup and the community and power look like the actual body of the community itself. but what about body cameras. would that help if the police were wearing body cameras? >> let me say this. i'm proponent of body cameras but at the same time body cameras don't change attitudes. they don't change the disposition of people after a period in time you have to have policy where they cannot tamper with the body cameras and what

they record. if you can put a body camera on a pig, you would get pictures of grass. in this juncture of body cameras, i'm for them 100%. i think they will be a significant impact and significant force but you must endorse the policies and procedures to ensure that the body camera is effective. >> i want to go back to something that you said that struck me as particularly interesting. you mentioned changing the attitudes. officer slagger was charged with murder but we've seen charges brought before offense officers who shot michael brown, eric garner, do you think charges will stick? >> that's true. we've seen significant impact in

what they do. the judicial system has not been favorable to african-americans as we've seen. one of the things that we must stay sure of is not only has he been charged with murder but we must follow the process from the beginning to the end. we must be fully upon jurors. not only that, but we must stay there until the sentence is handed down. and not only that we need to review the jury process. that's what we intend to do. >> mr. brian we also intend to follow that process and keep you all updated. thank you so much to ed brian in south carolina. a global effort to prevent iran from developing nuclear weapons. today iran's leaders issued a

demand that all sanctions be lifted as soon as a final nuclear deal is signed. >> we will not sign answered agreement unless all sanctions are lifted on the very first day of the implementation of the agreement. >> but that statement contradicts president obama's assertion that sanctions against iran would be lifted in stages. mike viqueira joins us live. mike how are folks in washington reacting to tehran's ultimatum, if you will? >> it's fascinating morgan. politics are being played on both sides. not just geopolitics but no sooner had that deal been declared done, it became clear that the two sides had different ideas of crucial aspects on what they just agreed to. the two senior leaders of iran, you heard president hasan

rouhani, and the supreme leader eye toe ayatollah co-many any. ayatollah khomeini. those sanctions those economic sanctions are what brought iran to the table to begin with. they're desperate to have them removed as quickly as possible. but officials are assisting that it will be a gradual process. it will match step by step. president obama was in jamaica attending a regional summit when asked about this. he said stepped very carefully around comments of the iranian officials. >> this is not done until it's done. the next two to three months of negotiations will be absolutely critical for making sure that we're memorializing an agreement

that gives us confidents and gives the world confidence that iran is not pursueing a nuclear weapon. >> at the same time officials admit that the clear details, at least they haven't nailed down all the details of that schedule of the dates by which those sanctions will be removed which sanctions will be removed and which step iran takes to fulfill its end of the deal. >> mike, bring us back home for a minute. we heard the president say it's not done until it's done, but it looks like the president has his own political problems really selling that deal. what can you tell bus that? >> it's interesting. it doesn't do the president any favors politically. the opposition in congress is gaining steam. they'll vote on whether congress has the ability to accept or reject a deal. and they're getting ever closer

to the magic number of 67 in the senate. meanwhile more fuel to the fire comes from the supreme leader ayatollah khomeini. he said all sanctions should be removed once the deal is reached. so politics being played on both sides there are hard liners, and there are hard liners opposing this deal. >> the president is right it is not done until it is done. mike viqueira join us from the heart of the nation. thank you for joining us this evening. meanwhile iran has called for an end of saudi-led airstrikes in yemen.

ayatollah ali khamenei has called for an end of them. as airstrikes continue, medical aid has finally arrived in the besieged city of aden. greece has made good on the promise to pay $500 million to the international monetary fund. that means that the country can now receive the final installment of a $240 billion bailout. but making today's payment really isn't so easy. and greece's troubles are far from over. >> ali velshi is in athens with more on the bail out. we're talking about $240 billion, a lot on the line. what is next. >> they have 120 billion euros do. and then in may they've got to come up with over $2 billion euros in salaries and pensions.

the greeks went out of their way to say that they would have to scrape and take from government coffers to make this payment today. if they make the payment for this they won't have an easier time on tuesday the end of the month or may. greece's problems are nowhere closer to being over. government officials said they would prioritize the payment of salaries and pensions over loan repayments. they went to washington and spoke to christine lagarde of imf. he said you're making the payment on thursday. he went to russia to try to cut some sort of deal there. nothing happened there other than nice talk between vladimir putin and the prime minister of greece. so greece was forced into making this payment. they'll now have to make many more payments over the next 30 days. >> you're talking about scraping and saving. can it actually really achieve

the economic and the structural reform that the imf and europe is really asking of them? >> i've been here for several days and everybody in greece understands what the problems are and the depth of the problem. there is too much corruption in this place. the workforce is not as efficient. taxes don't typically get paid. unemployment is at 26%. youth unemployment is at 50%. the housing market has an almost entirely collapsed around here. most greeks will tell you its more like a depression than a recession even though there is a little bit of economic growth and even a little bit of the operating surplus at the operating level. it is very hard to change. this is generations and generations, decades of an inefficient system that they're being asked to change on a very quick basis. one of the things that the creditors have said to greece is you don't get your last installment of the loan,

$7 billion euros that greece desperately needs. they have been forced to push back on some of these reforms and the pace of it. they have not succeeded so far. again, these negotiations are going to have to continue. greece needs nor "o" more money and they need better terms but the world needs better pace. >> ali velshi joining us from athens greece, thank you for being with us this evening. and are reminder that "real money with ali velshi" airs tonight and every weeknight at 10:30 p.m. eastern. coming up, a global tv network completely knocked off the air. we'll tell what you it has to do with isil next. plus it's being called leelah's law. a white house petition that demands the end of so-called conversion therapy. stay tuned.

>> president obama said he supports a ban on so-called con version therapy for gays and

lesbians. he added a measure of support calling for the passage of lee law's law that would ban the practice on miles per hours. conversion therapy aims to change the sexual orientation of lesbians and gay transgender youth. later this evening we have the story of one pastor who said he was gay but no longer isn't. >> i'm not guy no more. >> he declared that thanks to prayer he was no longer gay. the audience applauded. and through the video he brought to live a dramatic example of

how some churches believe through prayer to convert people of sexuality. 70% of americans compare that homosex all the is a sin compared to 47% of whites. the prejudice disin most churches is subtle. >> we always knew there was a lgbt. >> they hit the main stage complaining against the law as president of the maryland family

alliance. >> we believe that if you pray for somebody, they will change. >> we wrestle not against flesh and blood. >> another maryland pastor, delman coates decided it was time to speak out against what he saw was the church's bias. he stood before his 8,000 member congress and spoke in support of same-sex marriage. >> i felt it was the right thing to do for me as an individual clergy lettered to let my voice be heard on this issue because i didn't want my silence to be interpreted as consent. >> a thousand members joined coates' church that year and the marriage equality bill passed in maryland. months after this prayer service-- >> i don't like men no more. i like women. >> andrew caldwell said while he desperately wanted prayer to change him, he is, he says, still gay. al jazeera maryland.

>> matthew said he underwent conversion treatment at the age of 16. his father took him to see another pis after he confessed how he felt about other boys. now he's calling for the end of conversion therapy. matthew, what exactly happens in this conversion therapy? >> it's based on the theory that one no one is homosexual. everyone is a heterosexual. and it's trauma that cause it is in childhood. through that talk therapy and other types of therapy whether it's sub version or exorcisms. >> exorcisms? >> yes religious exorcisms can be done. aversion therapy inflicts physical pain. however, i had to do certain things but it was mostly talk therapy. i had to spend as much time with boys growing up in that period

and i had to stay away from women: and i was separated from my mother and sisters for three years. >> three whole years? >> there was contact but no communication, but that in itself is a challenge. >> did you think you were born this way? >> i was scared and young, i trusted my father. when there was a professional in my life with an university background ph.d and whatever their licensed credentials were, i trusted that. i thought i was in the best hands and i was doing something that would save me. >> in high school did you have other gay friends? did you ever act on your own desires. >> so, i did act. i did act on my desires. there was no one to look up to. there was no one openly gay. >> you didn't have a mentor? >> there was no mentors.

yeah there are other closeted boys in my high school, like everywhere there is, and i had to deal with that. it was part of my therapy in overcoming that. all my behaviors were basically taught from a therapist's point of view, i was basically going through severe depression. almost like i was getting training of how to live a double life. >> that's the question then, after five years of that were there any lasting impacts? do you still feel anything after spending that long in that type of therapy? >> of course, one being separated from my mother and sisters, that took a lot of time to rebuild. i was estranged from my father for five years. now i have a loving relationship with both of my parents but it took something to get there. personally i yeah, i went through depression. i contemplated suicide. >> really? >> yes, and this is why i'm blessed to be here and i'm

blessed to see president barack obama make the announcement that he made. >> what did you think when you heard the president's announcement. >> i cried for 20 minutes. i laughed, i cried for another 20 minutes. i was overjoyed. me and my team, we've been working really hard for this day to come. to have a leader in the world like barack obama to make a powerful stand, it's a moment to always remember. >> you said the nclr. >> the national center for lesbian rights. we have a five-year promise to end conversion therapy for minors nationwide. >> how are you going to do that? >> how it's being done is state by state. because that's how it's set up. >> do you think that the states are going to latch on to this? >> so i'm not a politician.

i'm a person who shares my story and what i've been through. everyone knows there is no a single curriculum to end homosexuality. and we're hearing the amounts of harm everywhere. >> like leelah, the what this petition is named after. >> exactly. we don't like to highlight suicide. we want to respect it, it is something that prompted aware awareness. we don't know how long it will take for government to catch on, and our goal is awareness and we're striving for political changes. >> it looks like the first steps are happening in your favor. matthew sharp thank you for joining us this evening. our pleasure to have you. >> thank you. >> we'll be right back. stay tuned.

>> super bowl expected to soon arrive in panama to take part in the summit of the americans. the president flew to panama city from jamaica. he'll spend the next two days meeting with leaders from north central, and south american countries including cuba. we're live from panama city right now. david, good evening to you. you know, some are expecting the president to announce that the usa is taking cuba off the u.s. list of state sponsor of terrorism. what is the latest on that? >> morgan, today he essentially said that if the state department put forth essentially trying to normalize relations of these two countries. this is one of the major sticking points preclude the raising of flags in havana and washington. once cuba comes off the state sponsored list of terrorism the wrangling becomes a little

easier. the choreography of all this is important. obama is coming down to meet raul castro. he meat raul at nelson mandela's funeral, but this is the first time that they're meeting face to face to bang out some of these issues. it's not known if they'll go behind the scenes during the summit to really have an in-depth discussion, but you have to wonder when obama here in panama at this summit, and castro at this summit. a lifting of cuba from the sanctions list would go down in a major footnote in the legacy of both minute. >> you say you have to wonder and i couldn't agree more. you and i both have lived in cuba and you know things are looking positive for the country as a whole. but we also know that the president will be confronted by america's attitude. what do we expect to hear on

that? >> this whole kumbaya moment that the administration was hoping to garner down here with the rugs on the resolution of the policy against cuba. you can see the dramatics taking place even during the live shot. that was thrown for a loop when the obama administration's legs for human rights, when they were cracking down on opposition leaders. and 33 mayors across the country had been detained, and some now are facing charges. but it kind of changed the mood and the tone and temper of the summit when you have two countries so long at odds, and now they're calling venezuela a national threat.

these leaders will start banging out the details that they came down to discuss. >> what else is the president expected to focus on at this time? >> well, you know, it's not just cuba and venezuela despite what everybody is talking about. there are real world issues to be discussed here. restrictions have tightened on the u.s. side. canada and the united states have a tense relationship ever since president obama vetoed the pipeline bringing oil from alberta. we'll see how things hammer out ahead. >> thank you so much. a television network is back on the air after a cyberattack crashed its website. a group claiming ties to isil

said it's behind the attack. al jazeera has that story. >> in television a black screen usually spells disaster when several french channels went to black on wednesday night producers in this office knew something was wrong. the channels' director said he was shaken and the problem is not over. >> it's been a very powerful cyberattack. we have very strong and it is very safe. >> this is how seriously the french government is taking the attack. not one but three ministers have spent the morning at the headquarters. >> we have taken music to respond. it's necessary to deal not only with the situation but to get ahead of what the terrorists

might have in mind. >> 11 tv channels were taken off air for a brief period. messages like imis a reference toes islamic state of the iraq and levant kept popping up. on its facebook page one message read the cyber caliphate continues against the enemies of islamic state. the cyber caliphate has staged a similar ambush before at the start of the year it hacked into a twitter feed and the message to americans soldiers said "watch your back." a reminder of the attack on the paris based satirical magazine charlie hebdo this is a different kind of warfare

though. and very sophisticateed. >> we turn to our science worse correspondent jacob ward. how could this happen on such a large scale? >> this probably had to do with the kind of security that they were running on its servers. typically with a big corporation. what you want to do is subdivide out the different functions of the computer system. let me show you in a graphic. if you imagine that you're going to have separate servers. one more e-mail, you're going to have one for databases. each one would have an individual password with awful these kept separate from one another. that's really the way you want it. instead, a lot of large corporations especially working only older systems sort of use one single central password to

get into all those different systems. if you are able to some how trick a high ranking executive into giving up that pass ward, something that has access to, it has everything at its command. you can look at e-mail. you can grab the social media password and get to the deep broadcasting operations that seem to have been compromised here. it is a case of not keeping its systems separate the way you want to instead they consolidated all of it. someone got a password, and they got into everything. >> separate or not like we heard, the u.s. has already seen similar attacks namely to the pentagon's twitter account. even when we think back to the sony hack is it fair to say that large corporations simply aren't safe here in the u.s.? >> that's right morgan. the way to look at it is a corporation is only as safe as it's secrets it's able to keep. one of the most tried and true

ways for people to get into people's security systems is what is called social engineering. you trick someone into turning over their information. one of the most classic ones that various people including u.s. command has pointed out in the past is approaching someone with a fake job offer or saying please apply for employment. that person then fills out a long resumé with all kinds of information. maybe they register at a fake website and in doing so they use the same password that they use at work. that's a way people can phish and grab information. that's a way to get credentials to get in there. >> how sophisticated was the cyberattack in france especially compared to other attacks that we've seen on fake companies and governments given everything we just said. >> it is not maintaining a terribly secure system. it's not a question of being

very sophisticated techniques, but the time something sophisticated. with all immediate passwords and social media broadcasts and hung on to them. that suggests higher sophistication. it's not a matter of technique but rather a matter of timing. >> thank you for joining us this evening. the state of texas is scheduled to execute a man accused of killing out a police officer. highyheidi zhou castro is live for us in dallas. texas said it has enough drugs for another execution but may have a tough time carrying out fur ones. what is the difference? >> that's right, morgan. in fact, we just heard an update from the texas correctional

office that the execution was about seven minutes ago. just weeks ago the texas spokesperson announced that they had acquired enough of the drug to carry out the excuse tonight and the three executions scheduled for this month. the source of this drug remains a ministry. they say it's coming from a compounding pharmacy, a pharmacy that is able to make it's own version of this drug. now texas has been relying on compounding pharmacies ever since it's traditional supply of injection drugs have run out. following the execution, there will be three others scheduled for may and june that will be in limbo because at this point texas does not know where it will come up with the drugs for those executions. >> so may and june. but let's talk about this nitrogen gas. oklahoma is said to become the

very first state to use nitrogen gas to execute inmates. how exactly does that work? >> so it hasn't become law yet in oklahoma. the state senate did approve it unanimously, but it's still awaiting the governor's signature. now the proponent of this death by high box i can't is that is would deny the condemn's brain of oxygen. they think it will work not because it's been used in previous execution. it's actually untested. but they say based on industrial accidents it should be painless with death follow in three minutes. they would only allow this only if drugs are unavailable. oklahoma's drug regiment for legal injection will go before

the supreme court to determine its constitutionty. this is a very complex case. it stems back from a year ago in which the condemned took 40 minutes to die. they were using an untested regiment of free drugs from a compounding pharmacy. what this all boils down to, morgan is states like oklahoma and texas have run out of the traditional legal injection drugs mainly because of manufacturers of those drugs will no longer sell it for the purpose of execution. those states are now going to now risky newer links search forgive new ways to put people to death. >> heidi zhou castro joining us from dallas. thank you for joining us. officials in chicago and much of illinois are on alert for tornadoes tonight as severe storms make their way north from texas and the great plains. our very own kevin corriveau is here with the latest on that. >> we have 12 to 15 states under

the gun. i say 12 to 15 because it keeps changing every time we go to the maps. we have five tornadoes that have hit the ground across the region. we knew today thursday, was going to be the worst day out of the week. towards its ohio illinois, and back down to texas. this is what we're looking at right now. you can see the tornado watch has been issued for many states here as well as up here towards the southeastern part of michigan that includes detroit right now. this is what we're looking at, cold front moving through. you can see the line of thunderstorms developing. that is the cold front everything ahead of it is very unstable. so we have seen a lot of activity here. also down here towards just a st. louis in missouri, and another tornado warning has been issued just down towards the eastern part of texas. we're going to be seeing a very active evening.

now over here towards the east a little bit they have dropped tornado warnings towards west virginia. but we're still very active across that region, and as i said towards the southeastern part of michigan we're going to be watching that very carefully. those thunderstorms could be moving into parts of ontario later on this evening. tomorrow we're now looking at the tornado threat, but we're looking at heavy rain across the region. so we're going to be seeing thunderstorms, lightening as well as flooding going on. >> a lot to look out for. and it sounds quite messy. kevin corriveau, thank you so much. california regulators have approved the largest fine ever levied against a public utility company. ordered to pay a $1.6 billion penalty. that ruling stems from a deadly gas pipeline explosion that happened just five years ago. that explosion destroyed dozens of homes in in in the francisco suburb where eight people were

killed and 60 injured. hillary clinton edges closer to a presidential announcement. the latest polls show some potential obstacles for the clinton campaign. david shuster joins us now with more. >> normorgan in the political world both sides have taken notice. it shows the clinton e-mail controversial and fundraising have taken a toll, and clear majority of voters and swing states now view clinton as dishonest and not trustworthy. in iowa it's 49-43. in virginia, 52%-40%. ted cruz and rand pal are mocking clinton's e-mail practices and fundraising practices almost every day. >> you know, she wants to be a champion of women's rights, yet she takes money from some of the countries that are the worst abusers of women's rights. >> the charges and the drip of

new revelations are hurting clinton's standing against the entire presidential field. in colorado and iowa where clinton had significant leads against all republicans the former secretary of state has now dropped behind or into a tie against all of them in colorado, they found that lower-tiered candidate mike huckabee is tied with clinton. in rand paul is now ahead of clinton. hillary clinton is expected to announce her campaign and expected to turn things around or try to do that any day. over the last 24 hours rand paul has had his own challenges. fall was in full damage control last night on cnn. >> i think i've been universally short tempered and testy with both male and female reporters. i'll own up to that, and it's hard sometimes.

>> paul accused some media figures of editorializing and asking loaded questions and in an effort to redirect all of this appears to have worked on the right. on the influence drudge report, rand slams media. press turns tough after obama slumber. potential 2016 republican candidate chris christie just got news that is making his supporters nervous. federal prosecute whose have been investigating christie's office and associates will unveil criminal indictment as early as next year regarding the lane closures of the george washington bridge of more than a year. christie said he was blindsided by rogue aides. >> i'm heart broken that someone who i permitted to be in that circle of trust for the last five years betrayed my trust. >> the person he was referring to is bridget ann kelly, christie's former deputy chief of staff.

last spring her lawyer alluded to a wide network involved in the lane closures, quote, anyone who things they're going to rewrite history and make ms. kelly a scapegoat is mistaken. look for a campaign announcement this spring. today on the democratic side there was a presidential campaign announcement from former rhode island center and governor lincoln chafee. he said he was forming an exploratory campaign money and hire staff. >> over the next weeks and months i look forward to sharing with you my thoughts about the future of our great chicago. >> his future in this race is bleak. they know he is a weak speaker not very engaging and has hardly any political organization. >> finally all politicians can appear to be boring and frustrating to children. in england this week british prime minister david cameron

read to kids as part of a campaign photo opposite op, one girl showed her exasperation. she's not alone. a boy had the same reaction to prime minister tony abbott. you've been warned. >> remember the same thing with president obama back in 2012 with the olympic gymnast? michaela. she had that same look. she wasn't too impressed. david, thank you so much. celebrating 150 years since the end of the civil war but the union still had some battles to fight. we'll explain next.

>> one of the most defining moments in american history took place 150 years ago to the day. on april 9 1865, robert e lee

surrendererred effectively ending the war. gregory downs is a history professor and his research focuses on the impact of the war. ithank you for joining us. i want to jump into this. today is the day that generally surrendered to general grant but it didn't really end the war, did it. >> americans like to think of the gentlemen's agreement between lee and grant as an important part to put the civil war behind us. it was very natural that a country thinks that way. but when we look back we see that that's not the way grant

had told his generals if it's peace he wants they'll keep fighting. only when lee would surrender would grant meet with him. the only way grant would accept surrender and not peace is because grant understood that the usa would have to stay in a state of war. he understood that slavery still existed in the south. if they called on it, they would go home and try to restore as much of slavery as they could. they also understood that the u.s. government needed to show the people of the south and that it was in charge. instead of peace whether they shake hands and everything returns to normal, we set the start of a very misunderstand and painful occupation of the south. >> it's interesting professor

downs. i'm from the south. i remember hearing it call the called the war of northern aggression if you will. in many ways countries are defined by their civil wars. in all kinds of ways the country that we are is defined by what happened not just in the civil war but in the years right after. many of us when they by with the constitutional rights, our rights as americans are really thinking less about the constitution that was written in 1780s but instead about these post warm amendments. it's very clear that these were put in the constitution through the occupation of the south. the u.s. government used it's generals to force the southern states and exceed to these changes. >> professor i want to ask you a question on that. you mentioned occupation just

briefly before we let you go. we see the news today in conflict in iraq, afghanistan syria, several war is still alive and it's well. so what lesson can we learn? just quickly on this anniversary. is. >> i think there are a couple of quick lessons we can take as we look at the past. to expect conflicts to continue. that people can make agreements and shake hands. you have to plan of what comes next. >> professor, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you so much. >> so for a look at what's coming up at the top of the hour john seigenthaler is here. >> hi morgan, new doubts about iran one week after world leaders declare a family work deal on nuclear weapons, their demand that all sanctions be lifted the moment of final agreement is signed. taking cuba off the terrorist list.
