take you through all the top stories as we head into the weekend. thank you very much for watching with hey a in

a to the emergency age it met and they'll just be push back the police and some by the way, the way the manual charge, a manual, everybody want and go on. and there's people shot, shot the past, like if you had all the amended said, please come right away. did you see him at all? yes, he's a young to why the a white dude. mm. a multiple me down. what happened at the mother of manuel and the church in charleston, south carolina, in the summer of 2015, it was almost to her rhythm to comprehend a white gun been stormed into

a bible study. non church members died right before god another. these reward church church. what do we know about? oh, this man is and what is motivation may have been said, you're a power women and you take it over the country and you have to go shortly after doing the roof was captured. investigators found a racist manifesto, he posted on line, along with dozens of images, posing that confederate harriet sites in with confederate flags. mm. mm. now the focus of the nation's outrage shifted from the killer himself to the symbol that seemed to contain more than its borders. all the racial hatred and roofs heart or the backlash was swift. terrific shooting has re ignited the highly sensitive debate over the confederate flag. this flag has become a symbol of murder of racism from hatred. and it is clearly

a symbol of this killer. the conversation we're having about the confederate flag has been about moral empathy, seeing the flag for others eyes. you know, it's a moment for society to really do a get check of our values. corporate giants like e bay target and wal mart stopped selling items bearing the confederate flag, telling me right now literally just now in the last couple of minutes. in less last few minutes, amazon just pull the flag as well. no. even nascar, an icon of traditional southern culture turned against the flag with an appeal to patriotism. they tell has got a special offer for race fan, so we can trade in your confederate flag for an american lat. anti flag momentum reached a climax when president obama delivered the eulogy for mother emanuel. pastor clemente pinkney over the flag from the states. capital would not be an act of political correctness, not in insults with a balance. federal sold me simply me an acknowledgement

that the cause for which they fought in the cause of slavery. with 2 weeks later, the flag came down and south carolina. oh, this is a flag again, a lot of attention is all because of this, the revel. banner rehab, it's hard for me. you know, i'm not going to you care about me if you care about this birds, the story is supposed fixed a. do you think the confederate flag at the fed? as you can see, it's about even i wish somebody could just tell me why this sets there are government is sanctioning that shows and symbol of a terrorist organization on our state. far. i love the seminar. i love the southern bail. i think we had the most beautiful flag we need to fight.

i know my problem is the safe place to with everyone in not a time in history. and what they're gonna do is they're trying to tell us as mississippians that we should change. we're not gonna change, you know, i get the liquor a i was born and raised in the north or my irish great, great grandfather, michael o'connor was an officer of the union army. but i married

a mississippian and of course we lived here. now. the main street, the neighboring town is not called main street. it's jeff davis avenue, named after jefferson davis, a mississippi plantation owner, and us senator, who advocated for the expansion of slavery into the new territory. and he was elected president of the confederacy. there's another jeff davis avenue, a short drive away in and jefferson davis's home and presidential library is just up the highway like many mississippi county's our court house at the monument to confederate soldiers. and some of our neighbors flew with the state flag and their yards. something i'd never seen any place else. so yes, in mississippi. remnants of the confederacy are everywhere. but even at the civil

war relics, joe and brandon, mississippi change seem inevitable. tell me what sort of interactions are you having with folks who are interested in buying mississippi shaped papers by in mississippi way more than usual. evidently, there must be a shortage on the horizon somewhere in it a shame. okay, my name is tim cupid. i'm a member of the sons of confederate veterans. when i started doing my family research, i found that my family followed on both sides union and confederate. but if some people lane laugh, some people lane, right? well, i lean bout, we want people to remember our past what our ancestors went through. and this drives that we made the day

i appreciate you being here, and i hope that when you're doing your documentary that you present both sides positive manner and, and let people make their mind up for themselves. i understood that confederate heritage, supporters like tim might be suspicious of my intentions. i am a yankee after all. i assured him and everyone else i spoke to the film that i wasn't going to choose aside. mister bate. and i wasn't here to judge anyone. i simply wanted to understand why mississippians were so divided over state flag whose purpose should be to unite us, me ah ah

me. the sons of confederate veterans purposes, not defend confederate, govern our purposes, to defend the good name of the confederates told him that the that you take, which i take very seriously because of these monuments that you see everywhere or not. can they not monuments to the better government their monuments, to the, to the soldiers, to the veteran, most of it came back terribly wanted ah, you supplied that those men were masters of some sort and that is not true. and so i can't just sit there while that story gets told that i know it's not true. of

course for made it fascinated with mississippi history in particular, because the census in 1840. i think this 1st one. 0 everybody here was 20 years old. everybody, there were no people anywhere, and they were coming to absolutely raleigh and anyone there 20 years that you're fighting for your existence as a nation. ah, you know, that's a, that's how we got here was these people were determined to live rebel over the sanction. do not do it again, are not only which reward a in a study, pardon for anything not done. look,

this state flag is she never would have been brought back up if it wasn't for what happened. on june 17th in charleston, south carolina. they want you to believe that that flag grew hands delays came down that paul walked in that church and he'll those people it was a human being that did that not a fly. open your mouth. open your mouth. oh, we keep them your mouth open. it are, does something with the concussion? every flag has its history. it has its pride and dark parts. we won't talk about dark parts, you know, we can mention how slavery was brought in under the u. s. flag. there's videos of

this one organization marching down. i believe it's pennsylvania avenue in washington, d. c. and they're only flying the u. s. fly again. why not be offended because of that flag? you know, if we're going to be offended by everything, every negative part of our history, we have to get rid of everything with . if you say you are fighting for your heritage where your heritage was based, own money and power in the only way you could get money and power here. and this is the, if you kill a disenfranchised people, enslaved plane is always knew what the confederate emblem made to us is an african

americans. but what can you tell me what it always meant to you? hatred, lynchings, beatings, poverty, why supremacy is just the disgusting ambulance. i feel that way because i leave it with them would inform you to put them put to begin with celia was this because i did to squint nikia a pretty new year for you for teaching that way. no, i'm reaching out. sure. thoughtful. and you should have some trouble with valuable . would you repeat the law for sheila? wishing to achieve? i'm a new movie for the woman. was more remote william from rural. i'm still from bush . not some of them all. big lot of giblin you her with the continuum will just idea

. i use one or more scholarly i'm or they were did some of studies. carson brought you. so you're shy. finish, this is just, those are 40 i, i'm a section of when it comes thing to do friday, the material ordering. a fisher interim in a little bit with a with was a national z. m

a a lady. she is really a series superstition and you have to look beyond that. something's all just to read. but it's not just the way it represents. inequality has hatred and a flag was always present like it was. it's out your land. when those math people were in the shop, we got a flag references the fluid we have

a, a whole wide phones of confederate batteries and members of the k k k. i say that they are christian.

i just, it is my hope in mind is that god would push them to put tre. christine, how do you change the heart of a man? law may not change it. and it does change habits of men when you began to change habits. and then they attitudes with the james curtis on the hops with the chain. my mother, she will say i'm rights for women. they hosted down with holes, is she still held the bite marks only from the dow and she also went to jail and i was like, you know, this, my mom. why, why? i mean, she's the sweetest person. oh no. why would somebody do that to her? it was about when the news came about the shootings.

mama said don't make no food. you went to jail and get be for human rights and civil rights and welfare. right. yeah. i better do something. and when she said, y'all better do something, we do something. ah, i'm the director of of lanfield mississippians coalition. i've just been going around trying to raise awareness about the importance of removing the confederate emblem from our stay flag. it's gonna be hard, but it's not impasse. in you just have to keep pushing and keep striving. i just thank god for grace and mercy

because you need a whole lot more than 200 people. march from j. r. lead street to the state capital calling for change in the state flag. we just need a flag that will unify everyone not long after i met sharon, she stepped away from her leadership role with the flag for all mississippians initiative. due to health reasons. it would be some time before i could talk to sharon on camera again. she found an ally and lee a campbell, an anti flag activist on the mississippi gulf coast for me as a white woman. oh, it's incumbent upon me as a, as a white mississippian. and i'm a person of privilege to use my privilege to do what i can to dismantle a system of white supremacy and symbols of white supremacy that my ancestors created. mm hm. wow.

i grew up in the sound. so i have a sense of the racism that still exists here and it would be naive me or anyone else to deny that. then li shooting and charleston happen. and i distinctly remember seeing the photo dylan raised closing with the confederate fire and reading his blog posts. and then watch governor nikki haley, have the courage to take that confederate emblem down from south carolina state house ground. it really made me angry that our governor and our legislators could not display the same courage. oh, sorry, i had to get involved. were fighting for the soul of mississippi right now. they

can american, do you think it makes them feel when they everywhere lays her that flag is flying. what does that say? and then we are better than that. mississippi is better than that. no. mm ah, this wasn't the 1st time mississippians have wrestled over their flag in 1993, the hon. ac piece to the state to change the flag for familiar reasons about that. and that, that last thing that lawsuit letter,

the discovery that due to a legislative air in 19 o 6, mississippi did not have an official state flag. and in 2001 governor ronnie musgrove decided to settle the issue with a statewide referendum. asking voter to choose between 2 flags, the current flag at the time, which had been adopted, $1894.00 and a new design. now the mississippi flag is wavering at this time. voters will decide if the confederate symbol will follow the flag of 18. 941 by nearly 2 to one margin, settling the issue for the time being a flag of 18. 94 was adopted just 4 years after mississippi had convened a constitutional mention to write a new state constitution. the civil war had ended 30 years earlier, and although black mississippians made up nearly 60 percent of the states

population, only one of the convention delegates was black and reconstruction was over. and white mississippians had regained political control from the majority black population to violence and intimidation, and a newly formed ku klux klan. the president of the convention made it clear that their goal was to circumvent the 15th amendment, which prohibited the government from denying a citizen the right to vote based on race. and let's tell the truth of it 1st. the bottom of the university said we came here to exclude them. other convention delegates confirmed this notion. mm. mississippi's constitution of 18. 90 included a poll tax and a literacy task that effectively prevented generations of black citizens from

voting until the passage of the voting rights act. some 75 years later it was in this political climate that the flag of 1894 was born. ah, back all this by flag trade, the federal put the flags all over the story. you know, because i got the, the horizontal limbs hanging out. so i was like, wow, that's a flag. so i'm a true blooded, southern myth, mississippi southern land and, and accept it. and i are relish in it because that's who i am. that's who i, where my family has came from. my family as live in the state of mississippi before it even became a state. i'm a direct descendant of james jefferson johnson is my great, great great grandfather. a 41st mississippi infantry. this is my

son's a confederate veteran certificate. what really got me just fired about doing some kind of like a better organization is because of what's going on in the country discrimination against people who discrimination against the jews with discrimination against us, or what about discrimination against others. they accused us of all being rices, you know, and it's a sign of a 1000000 is what the flag means, a lot of people and that's why like k and other groups used to play the part that me off the worst is i wish my ancestors would have put a stop to it before you know, a got to the point that is today we're anytime in by say that played out a magazine. take a tape person with what is referred to as a confederate flag. graphically, it's funny. however,

you can't separate it from all that it is stood for an a negative sense. i'd love for us to have a symbol about which people had no evidence whatsoever. we're at a moment where we can do this right and well and respectfully drawn bought. i don't like name collins, i don't want rallies where people are yelling back and forth all along the way from the way i present things. the way i design a flag. i want everybody to have a stitch, fred, and that new design. and i hope to be that middle ground, that landing point for folks who, you know, as time has passed and they come along, i think. and all right, now we need something new. it began with a whole lot of sketching, a lot of note taking a lot of research, a flag really as a living symbol and document and piece of art that there $900.00 stars along the outer edge. we were the 20th state to join the union. the color,

red symbolizes passion and blood. i chose the color white as a field because it represents elimination spirituality promise. and i thought that was an appropriate way to bring together all of these elements and all of these aspects of her history and her story. of course my grandfather was a us senate and i, he was one of the co authors and signers of the southern manifesto, which was a reaction against brown vs board of education. integrating schools. and he was involved in now we are the oppression of african americans in our state, i way of policy. but i still love my grandfather. his personal motto was look ahead and he did, he eventually changed himself to on that issue. lauren's flag design known as the stennis flag quickly became popular and caught the attention of state representative kathy sikes. who was the 1st legislator to advocate for the stanish flag as a viable alternative to the flag of 18. 94. ah,

ah, i will never be a victory for russia. we switch with you, will you still wait? am i truly not done by she located me? crane war is a proxy war. this is a war between russia and the united states. mezzo mom on made. it comes to not should get done in carbon dioxide. america forces are and you're not in your engage in conflict of russian forces. american forces are here to defend nato allies would have been said, nato escalades, even more than the special military operation, become a war door. when you put those hips of rules that dealership and that'll that notion is my store. i see it. i see you into us. thank you. costliest. got earlier

with so you sleep, you shenika you stuff to with almost them. let's see. we live at home is still foolish there in your sewage, nero's he got the girl who's ah, some graphic, distressing images from don't. yes, because we report from the state of some of the late ukrainian shilling, the russian city killing a local american military base in syria. come under attack made ly thing tensions between nato allies. here on the u. s. the anchor is the target to of kurdish territory over the dow in africa. gonna right now is that possible shift towards using gold instead. if the us dollar for the international oil purchases me mom in india.
