across the united states city managers always look to san francisco to lead on tough issues. san francisco is a no excuses, can-do city. we lead on public healthcare, we led on gay marriage and san francisco is the first and only city in the united states where all residents have access to a park within a 10-minute walk. now we must lead on protecting the foundation of life. no sweat, right? although concerned about athletes to species, diversity tend to focus on large species such as bald eagles, threats to the bio diversity of small organisms are the same or of greater importance. small organisms are often more specialized and adapted to certain plant species and habitats than are the large animals and therefore they are more susceptible to extension. we need policies that protect them. species support biological protection and regulation through the food chain in a variety of ways such as adding to the soil fertility, pollination, plant growth and waste decomposition. the more deverse a system is the more stable it is. >> [bell ringing] >> so i encourage you to adopt these

but no, this is a -- it's an unbelievable assertion of power that a government of the united states, city county or state, can refuse or blacklist a contractor because they performed a lawful contract for the united states of america to make the country safer. how can this possibly be? we don't believe it's sustainable legally and we'll challenge it wherever there's a case to be proven. a lot of talk about passing these laws. but some have passed. we're looking at what the legal remedies would be. >> we appreciate your work on that. and the last thing i want to say to you in that short time left, i just want to thank you for your openness and willingness and desire to want to focus on sex and human trafficking in our country. as we know, this is not a third world country problem, although it is happening globally. it's also happening in our own backyards. so i just want to thank you here today at this hearing for the work that you continue to do with the congress to do everything we can to eradicate this modern day slavery. so thank you again for your service here to our country. it's gre

i don't think it's just a question of providing jobs in the cities because people are flowing from the rural areas of the united states into the cities because they can't find employment there. to i think they're intimately and personally connected. so i think that jobs is the most important. after that, i think problems of education. our young men and women are not being educated properly in our schools, in the ghetto schools. three -- only three out of ten graduate from high school and those who graduate from high school only have the equivalent of an 8th grade education. we have to do more about education and housing. the immediate problem seems to me to be jobs. there is legislation before the senate of the united states. i would like to see the senate of the united states support it as i have done. they opposed it last year. i think it would have been a very important step forward. >> senator, your indication that you'll cooperate with senator mccarthy, does that foresee a potential cooling of strength? >> i would like to take any step that is necessary to cooperate and work with senator mccarthy. >> a number of

bells have been tolling in cities across the united states marking the moment, 50 years ago, that the civil rights leader dr martin luther king was assassinated by a white supremacist. the main commemorative event was at the lorraine motel in memphis, tennessee, where he was shot dead. a bell rang out 39 times, one for each year dr king lived. the civil rights activist jesse jackson is one of only two survivors of dr king's entourage on the day. he spoke from the motel balcony where dr king was shot dead. i've been blessed by god to come back here 50 years later. and every time the scab comes off, the sore is still raw. the blood still oozes. this is the site of the crucifixion. not far from here is the resurrection, the new hope, and the new possibilities. our correspondent nada tawfik summed up the mood in memphis. i would describe it as almost like a pilgrimage of people young and old, from here in memphis and across the country, coming here not tojust honour the legacy of dr king, but really to recommit themselves to the struggles that he fought against 50 years ago. and so here i

a reminder of our top story: bells have been tolling in cities across the united states, marking thether king, was gunned down by a white supremacist. they rang out 39 times — one for each of dr king's years. the main commemorative event took place at the motel in the city of memphis, tennessee, where the murder took place. prominent african—american leaders addressed the crowds. jesse jackson, who was there at the time, said the pain was still raw. more on that and more on the website. thanks for watching. wednesday brought a real mix of weather across the country. thursday is looking completely different. it's going to be quite a chilly start. frosty start for some of us, but the weather is looking great. a lot of sunshine eventually in the afternoon. that'll be right across the country. that is finally clearing away and as we head through the course of the morning the remnants of the cloud across parts of lincolnshire, east anglia, the midlands, and the south—east but the skies already clearing in many parts of the country. by early thursday morning, it will clear in northern engl

bells have been tolling in cities across the united states, marking the moment 50 years ago that the civil rights leader martin luther king was assassinated by a white supremacist. the main commemorative event was at the lorrain motel in memphis, tennessee, where he was murdered. a bell rang out 39 times — one for each year dr king lived. around the motel, prominent african american leaders have been speaking. only two of dr king's entourage on that day are still alive — one of them, jesse jackson, told the crowd the pain was still raw. before the bells rang out, the reverend michael pfleger, a catholic priest and activist against street violence in chicago, spoke of the importance of maintaining dr king's legacy. the question is will we wake about outrage at their disparities and an equal playing fields that have become an acceptable norm, replace oui’ become an acceptable norm, replace our citizens with hope, and will we ta ke our citizens with hope, and will we take the van out of the hate of the bloodstream of america's veins, and give her a transfusion with blood, truth, justice
