the first one to break the color line is jackie robinson and larry doby will do that two months later, in the american league, jackie robinson is playing for the dodgers and the national league, and the library is very fortunate to have the branch and the jackie robinson collection, and that is where we were able to draw a couple of items, including this letter from jackie, in 1950, written to branch rickey, who was leading the dodgers, and robinson is writing to let him know just how grateful he is for the breaks that he gave him and sending him to the dodgers, letting him know that he was a trusted friend, and that he hopes that ricky would think of him as a friend in return, and it's a very heartfelt letter thanking him for everything that he had done for himself and for his family. so what we have here is the original, first page of jackie robinson's letter, and then on the back is a reproduction. in order to preserve this letter and keep it from being affected by the lights and the wear and tear of being an exhibition, we will eventually swap these out, and what we will have on d

mary robinson is the former president of ireland and has set up the mary robinson foundation for climatehometown. good to have you with us. my hometown. good to have you with us. iam my hometown. good to have you with us. i am curious, when you hear mr trump, for example, announcing that change, and something that could affect climate change, august through your mind, because there been so many summits, but leaders, some leaders, are not doing what you might like them to do? that's true, and yet curiously i am a little bit more hopeful than i was even a few months ago. this report of the climate scientists recently that we have to stay at 1.5 celsius of warming has really shocked a lot of people into a reality that we have to move and move rapidly. yes, president trump is not helping, no doubt about that, but i was at the climate conference in san francisco in september, and i heard so many states in the united states, business in the united states, cities in united states, universities, the divest from fossil fuel, invest in clean energy movement, they have moved 1.6 trillion in dollars

>> gene robinson is with us, gene?l meet, convene in a few days really and so what will the new democratic majority in the house that you will be a part of do to hold the president accountable for this erratic foreign policy moves and their potential consequences? >> certainly. so we will reestablish our rightful role as the article 1 institution that the founders created. congress has an oversight responsibility. so we will be providing that oversight, calling in administration officials to account for decisions in syria. the pending withdrawal of troops in afghanistan. we're going to be doing things like, you know, holding hearings on deployments of active duty personnel to the southwest border, the results, the impact, the continued impact of separation of families at the border. so there's a host of issues that we will be able to press the administration on, hold them accountable, using the power, the inherent power, that congress has that the republicans have abdicated and that's oversight of the administration. >

spread by kremlin news channels as part of a russian disinform asian campaign we spoke to piers robinson chair in politics at sheffield university and he says this is much less about countering russian propaganda and more about his sowing and imbedding narratives on the domestic and regional level. it seems to be just as much about promoting ensuring up official u.k. policy towards russia as it is about actually countering any russian threat the u.k. government and other western governments in the us in recent years have had increasing difficulty persuading enough of their populations as to the legitimacy of the foreign policies that they have been pursuing and at the same time western countries have been going through a period of political crisis an economic crisis and i think a lot of this drive is as much about trying to shore up shakey official narratives and trying to shore up political systems in a situation of political crisis as it is actually about countering russian propaganda or i think i would suspect that's a little bit of an excuse here that really what's going on the probl

nbc's josh lederman, thank you so much. >>> and, gene robinson, this sounds way too familiar. remember when the russians were dropping bombs claiming to be fighting against isis with us when all they were willing doing were killing assad's rebels fighting against assad, and now you have erdogan who is either suckered the president or got a willing president to leave syria and so now instead of, again, fighting isis, just like the russians, they're going to start killing others, in this case they will be killing kurds, the very people who were pushing back against isis. >> yeah, i mean, you could -- there's a lot of arguments about proper u.s. policy in syria, what our policy ought to be, but i think there's near universal agreement that the worst thing to do is to cut and run all of a sudden on a whim the way president trump has decided to do it. as david said, it puts the kurds in a terrible position. president erdogan, like other authoritarians around the world undoubtedly has had drawn up a detailed psychological profile of donald trump and what buttons to push and how to p
