senators have introduced a new bill to make lynching a federal hate crime.ators kamala harris from california, cory booker from new jersey, and tim scott from south carolina say their bill will "right the historical wrongs of the past." more than 4000 african americans were lynched in the united states between 1877 and 1950, according to the equal justice initiative. yet in 99% of the cases, state and local law enforcement officials never prosecuted the crimes. and in congress, nearly 200 attempts to pass anti-lynching legislation failed. this new bill, called "the justice for victims of lynching act," needs the support of 60 senators to pass. it currently has 22 co-sponsors. but only one is a republican, tim scott. >> when we return, an officer at last. why it took the army 76 years to give this soldier the promotion he deserved. soledad: when john james of southwest philadelphia graduated from officer candidate school in fort benning, georgia, instead of getting his bars, he was told he wouldn't be getting a commission. the reason? john james is black. the

the firm's campaign to crack down on fake news followed the lynching of five people in maharashtra.rts in key indian newspapers, aimed at dispeling misinformation. now the company said it will test limiting the number of times users in india can forward texts, videos and photos, asjoe miller explains from delhi. whatsapp is ubiquitous in india. it has over 200 million users and phenomenal reach. and people use it is not just to phenomenal reach. and people use it is notjust to send each other m essa 9 es is notjust to send each other messages but also to communicate vital information and indeed news via these vast groups. now, that habit began to turn lethal last year when a spate of mob lynchings began by crowds who were convinced by edited videos and misleading m essa 9 es edited videos and misleading messages circulating on whatsapp. now, there was a public outcry and condemnation from the government and today whatsapp has said it is going today whatsapp has said it is going to restrict users in india to five forwards per message, so they can only forward each photo or video or t

flights today to lynchings why do people feel slighted by something that maybe they would have let go. you know i think that there is again so much awareness in a way that today than there was the there used to be decades ago when we didn't have the mass media people can kind of aggregate to themselves and basically decide well we're right and that person who acted in a way that we don't approve of is wrong and that somehow or other that if uses people's thinking there is a heightened everything today not to not to say that people don't have a right in many cases to be upset but everything is overdone because you're not going to get media attention if you ask.

thank you very much, miss lynch. >> thank you for considering this. this is a key and critical change in california's energy policy. basically it's going to repeal two important energy crisis protections that we got in in 2001. one was that california appoints the board of directors that runs the grid and our electricity markets. and two was that it's a california public benefits corporation. both of those key protections will be repealed almost immediately. now the proponents say that it doesn't matter, we're under federal law and we'll be under federal law tomorrow. the difference is who enforces and interprets that federal law. and if we didn't think that it mattered who did that we wouldn't care that ryan zenke with the interior and scott pruitt is at e.p.a. because all they're doing is enforcing and interpreting federal law. and this would cede our power to the western states. think about who they are. they're coal states. they are economying dependent on not only using coal but producing coal. the only state that is not a coal state is washingto

david lynch, you know the great filmmaker.is is a hollywood guy. the reason i do this is, you know, you don't hear this and plenty of them voted for me. plenty of them voted for me. david lynch could go down as one of the greatest presidents in history. >> seth: i mean it's weird. but i guess it would make sense if david lynch liked donald trump. donald trump is like the president from a dream sequence in episode of "twin peaks." [ light laughter ] [ speaking in reverse ] [ laughter ] trump, of course, also uses these rallies to rail against his many perceived enemies. and one of those is south carolina congressman mark sanford, a republican who has sometimes been critical of trump. now, you might remember that back in 2009, sanford, as governor, famously told his wife he was hiking on the appalachian trail when in fact he was having an affair. and trump, who always remembers your lowest moment, brought it up last night. although he couldn't remember the correct name for the appalachian trail. >> never liked him too much. i wa
