lee still standing proud as just one example but for too long people of charlottesville didn't want to confront the issue schmidt tells me they wanted their peace and quiet white supremacy is part of the everyday fabric. of our political life our economic life the way for policing is conducted against black people and you know so there's much more discussion of this you know even among people especially white people who were previously very kind of self-satisfied and thought that everything was fine. and see any verse three approaches still ancient and other local activists told a panel discussion to promote the importance of remaining vigilant. but if you have any can. simply ignoring the problem basically to make it go away. by a charade in washington who's covering this story for us no joins me my it's good

11:07 pm
a permit to do so and anything that might be a weapons is a lead pipe or an umbrella but it is a big question how they are going to keep these crowds apart because everyone is going to be converging on a main square on the same main square and we are expecting some very large crowds at least from the counter protesters side it's still unclear how large the white supremacist crowd will be. joining us from washington thank you a jury in the united states state of california has found one sound so guilty of causing terminal cancer in a plaintiff who was exposed to weed killer they ordered the chemicals giant which is now owned by germany's bya to pay two hundred fifty million dollars in punitive damages plus a thirty nine million in compensation quote authorities in san francisco fast tracked the case because the man is dying doing johnson had used the chemicals in his job as a grounds keeper did round up pro or ranger pro failed to
