team over the obama administration same figures same people same names same agenda go ahead mary. well it was very very complicated for me to figure out what on earth is going 'd on because frankly as seen from london the whole. hue and cry about what was going on between russia and ukraine has been building rather slowly and i only sort of woke up to it last week that what we were looking at was every day practically every hour we're seeing accusations from london and from washington and from nato russia has embarked on this gigantic arms buildup on the russian side of the ukrainian border and is just waiting to launch a war. to shore up the supposed to russian presence in the east of ukraine either to help the rebels or even to seize territory and possibly even to consolidate some sort of further land bridge into crimea now one of the reasons that i wasn't sort of paying sufficient attention to this is that i couldn't take this seriously that russia would actually want to wage or to embark on military action that would result in any sort of military confrontation in the east of ukrai

processing i want natural vegetables or not that's the way to fix our food system candid response to marie well i mean i'm with her but but you know we can people say what should we do and you can say get rid of fast food you could say get rid of monoculture you can say get rid of chemical fertilizer you can say get rid of imprisoning animals and what amount to concentration camps you can say those things but those are not the kinds of solutions that are going to happen imminently those are great goals and we hope that within a generation we can get to all of them my question in animal vegetable junk my question in my life really right now is what can we do in the next couple of years that will show us the way to get to a place where saying things like let's get rid of fast food isn't taken as a joke because i will that i'm all in on that front let's do it but we don't have a czar of food who can say ok we're getting rid of fast food now it's not happening so what do we do to move towards that danielle has. i'm going to run it by will. and you know where you live in the world's climate change c

team over the obama administration same figures same people same names same agenda go ahead mary. well it was very very complicated for me to figure out what on earth is going 'd on because frankly as seen from london the whole. hue and cry about what was.

not for himself, but for mary jane wells, the wife of the secretary of the navy, one of mary lincoln'sriends in washington. and he sealed it in an envelope, wrote her name on it and later mrs. wells framed the lock of hair with dried flowers that add dourned lincoln's coffin at the white house funeral. that was the first blood relic taken from abraham lincoln in this room by the secretary of war. then, it was time to bring lincoln home to the white house. the secretary of war sent for what was needed to convey the body of a dead president home to the white house. soldiers were sent. and they returned from a military shop, a few blocks away, carrying a rectangular, plain pine box. a rifle crate with a screwtop lid. when those soldiers rounded the corner with that box, the crowd moaned. they knew that the president had died. they saw the cabinet members leaving, they knew, but the sight of that coffin was the real refutation of their hopes that lincoln would live. so that coffin was taken down this hallway and laid on the floor right here. and before lincoln's body was placed in the coff

. >> did anything he say fall into the category of may come back to haunt him, mary? >> well, i didn't -- i actually didn't hear the entire interview, what actually hit me just as the prosecutor i've been for most of my career but not anymore was when he said that the search warrant was illegal because you have to have evidence that someone is trying to destroy evidence in order to get a search warrant, which is of course utterly baseless. search warrants are based on probable cause to believe that evidence of a crime may be found on the items that you seek to search. it has nothing to do with whether you're trying to destroy evidence. so i was a little bit befuddled at that comment coming from someone who had been a prosecutor and thought he was really just trying to impact the public and make them think that from the get-go that was was an illegal investigation. >> the timing, norm, what does going to the search warrant suggest about where prosecutors are in their process? >> chris, thanks for having me back on. a pleasure to be with you with my friend, mary. what the timin

not for himself, but for mary jane wells the wife of the secretary of the navy one of mary lincoln's few close friends in washington. and he sealed in an envelope wrote her name on it and later mrs. wells framed the lock of hair. with dried flowers that adorn lincoln's coffin at the white house funeral and so that was really the first blood relic taken from abraham lincoln. in this room by secretary of war stanton then it was time to bring lincoln home to the white house. so the secretary of war sent for what was needed to convey the body of a dead president home to the white house. soldiers were sent and they returned from a military shop a few blocks away. carrying a rectangular. plane pine box an ammunition create a rifle crate with a screw top lid. and so when those soldiers rounded the corner and came up 10th street with that box the crowd moaned because they knew intellectually that the president had died they saw. the cabinet members leaving they knew but the side of that coffin was the real refutation of their hopes that lincoln could live. so that coffin was taken down this h

good to be with you, i'm anne-marie green. wellthis morning, jury deliberations will continue in derek chauvin's murder trial. yesterday, the panel heard nearly six hours of closing arguments and rebuttal in the case against the former minneapolis police officer charged with george floyd's death. the jury met late in the night but didn't come up with a verdict on any of the counts. chauvin has pleaded not guilty to charges of second degree murder, third degree murder and second degree manslaughter. skyler henry is in minneapolis. skyler, this all comes as the defense attorney called for a mistrial right at the end there, right? >> reporter: that's right, anne-marie. good morning to you. the defense says given the high profile nature of the trial and media exposure and stern words from maxine waters when she was here visiting the twin cities are grounds for a mistrial. she told a group of protesters in the daunte wright protests that she should be more confrontational if derek chauvin is acquitted. nds fo appeal.ed that reqhest e th

and then mary tries to butt in. well, mary, you just run along now. we're just talking politics.so, it was -- it was like that. in our memory, after a dinner party, the men would go off to one room and smoke their cigars and tell their jokes and the women would go to another room and talk about their grandchildren. now that's over with. there were more lines to cross. i used to -- i would imitate a politician and say, well, senator, are you pro-life? i sure am. are you pro choice? he says, you bet. >> i think some of these great comics not only open up our minds but they open up our hearts over the years. when i think about, you know, lenny bruce or dick gregory or wart sol, george carlin. i think it's had a tremendous impact on our society and our ability to just get along with each other, although it's hard to see that during this campaign but it's still there. >> i wasn't allowed to listen to george carlin as a kid, which made me want to listen to him more. you know, it's like the people your parents sheltered you from, i wanted more. lincoln was a great fan of all things shak

i you know, oh that's a triumphant mary. well, it is sort of a triumphant narrative as far as i'm concerned a war a war the war that both. sustains a republic that does give people a voice in the government and does give them the possibility to rise and as away with the institution of slavery seems to me to accomplish something. the aftermath is very problematical and messy as we know very well, but we also know that absent the war slavery would have lasted a lot longer in the united states. it was thriving. it was proving it could spread into non-cash crop applications very easily and effectively and so the war i mean the this is sessionist there there. this spectacular miscalculators. i mean they think they're doing something that's going to protect their institution. that would have lasted decades probably and they kill it in four years. there's got to be a little irony in that so i don't think i think they're i don't see anything wrong with saying that the civil war did yield some good things it absolutely did doesn't mean th

tragedy what happened. >> dana: it does seem like this was definitely politicizing intelligence, marie. >> wellt the intelligence community was -- did what they were supposed to do. laying out their confidence, low to moderate based on from open source reporting one detainee which is often quite unre liable. the challenge for reporters and democrats because president trump had repeatedly publicly said he believed vladimir putin over the u.s. intelligence community he did it in helsinki. when it caples to this issue it was hard for reporters, who i am not here to speak on behalf of, or democrats to believe president trump's denials. it turns out he used the word hoax about a number of things related to russia that turned out to be true. yesterday when the biden administration took action on other issues, they outlined very clearly how his campaign had passed sensitive information that ended up with russian intelligence. he didn't have the credibility to push back on what morgan rightly called -- >> dana: you would think that joe biden, having been in government for so long, might have been willi

. >> good to see mary leigh as well. >>> we are looking at temperatures in the 40s, clouds and areas of fog as well. checking the visibility, you can see the cloud cover as well as some patchy fog on the coast and right around the bay. inland spots dealing with foggy conditions this morning. as we head through the afternoon, similar to yesterday. we will catch the sunshine and clearing again, looking at 63 in san francisco, 68 in oakland. mild around the bay, cool at the coast in the upper 50s. and inland, warming up to the upper 70s to about 80 degrees. 80 in concord, livermore, and 77 for san jose. >>> let's check in with jianna and the morning commute. >> it is already busy headed towards the altamonte pass. if you are ready to head out the door, expect brake lights for the ride out of tracey on westbound 580. one of the slowest spots already. 29 minutes from 205 to 680. we will keep an eye on that area. westbound east shore freeway clear. highway 4 okay. 101 okay out of the south bay. just cleared a crash south 680 by main street. the dunbar bridge, wind advisory, so be careful.

that are happening but i am so jealous of marie and the group over there over at the kennedy space center. you actually got see the launch and probably feel it as well. marie, what was that like? >> oh, it was just spectacular! you know, the sun has not come up yelt here in florida, but you know, we were able to turn around and see the launch right behind us, and it lit up the sky just absolutely breath take. >> it was so -- it was astounding to see the colors mean not the just the usual fireball but there was pulsating to the end and you are much more eloquent describing that sequence which i appreciate you doing that. >> happy to help. >> it was so fun and knowing that those guys were enjoying the ride along with the site wes got see. of course, we were so lucky have clear weather here being able to see the re-entry burn as well. i was hoping we would catch landing burn and clouds on the horizon did flock vau and also such a treat to be able to see the re-entry of that first stage as well. >> jasmin. >> thanks. thank you marie. yes. am joined again here. thanks so much for being here. >> thank you. >> so we just had the privilege of watching that

he had even said to her mary we must not be as miserable as we've been between the war and the loss of willy. we've been both been very miserable. we need to we need to live. well that very same night, of course lincoln was murdered sitting beside his wife. his last words were whispered to her. and this event threw mary into darkness into catastrophic darkness that lasted really the rest of her life. and that story i won't go into it now and detail but is a very tragic story of how mary drifted over the years into becoming really one of the most despised figures in this country. it is so odd to me that the widow of this revered figure abraham lincoln. should have ended up so despised. she was one paper called or a mercenary prostitute. she was put on a very short lease by her the executor of her husband's estate so that david davis. and never had a briefly had her own home, but mostly forced to live in what she called hated boarding houses when the press became virulent against her. she finally fled the country with her son and lived in a kind of exile and europe. later, she was institutionalized for insanity by her son robert. when she got out and proved or sa

with the difficult question which of the town's residents is most suited to put trade jesus well his mother mary punches pilot now he's made his choice and it's been confirmed by the town council behind closed doors both of those funny thing big given on that in every other theater in the world the director chooses the cast he wants but here it's not so simple that every resident born in. or is lived here for 20 years has the right to a role in the passion play so whether i want to or not i have to pass that i never start with a number from my 1st production in 1900 i had 1400 adults now we have 900 adults and 450 children to keep that and i like the fact that the qualification of being born in oberammergau your living here for 20 years says nothing about the personal social standing or religion or their gender or their orientation. this is a cross-section of our village stores this. is a not a media interest who will put jesus to act as a chosen one of them has already played the role twice. frederick myatt remembers the 1st time he was cast. from authority. i wasn't expecting it because i was

well mary i'm following the recommendation by the c.d.c. expert panel that the johnson and johnson vaccine for quoting 1000 could be resumed for use without restriction for everyone in the country over the age of 18 the next steps are for the c.d.c.'s director rachel will end ski to officially formally issue her approval of their findings and then it goes to the food and drug administration another government entity in the united states in washington which will issue a revised emergency use authorization for j. and j. vaccine both of those steps are expected to come very soon that it is not going to be a long bureaucratic process there's the possibility that the f.d.a. the food and drug administration will require a warning to be given along with these shots noting the existence of possible side effects johnson and johnson says that they support that possibility and they are working with the government on possible language the expert panel at the centers for disease control voted 10 to 4 in favor of approving the resumption of the change a

thanks let's get the perspective from the ukrainian side charles trafford is at the port said mary paul. well the ukrainians as you can imagine a very angry about this they called it a gross violation of the right to freedom of navigation and a violation of the un convention of the law of the sea they see it as being a provocation by russia only adding to the kind of tension that we've seen in the region in the last couple of weeks around that fast troop deployment by the russians along ukrainian borders and around crimea this will to the eyes of see in the strait is supposed to be on a joint jurisdiction when the russians and ukrainians according to a 2003 agreement now cover days ago we were out with the marriott polled maritime to work with the ukrainian navy and they were saying that that agreement was signed in 2003 and he's now almost redundant because of course we've had a conflict that started in 2014 and russia annexed crimea so the ukrainians are feeling weakened powerless if you like to act and that's despite obviously great international support in rhetoric at least calling for th

mary robinson, what's your answer to dana? well, thank you, dana. are oftenjudged differently than men. the traits that are valued in men, like decisiveness, assertiveness, bold action, can often be seen as shrill or bossy — all the negative terms when a woman is doing exactly the same thing, and that's a cultural trait itself. i actually think the best way to counter it is to ignore it. i remember when i was elected president of ireland in 1990, i was the first woman president. i was absolutely determined to do it confidently, feeling that, actually, i would do a betterjob precisely because i was a woman. i didn't want to be seen as being like the men. i wanted to do it differently and, you know, use all my skills and leadership qualities as a woman to do the job, and i think that's the way to counter it. ellenjohnson sirleaf, i mean, societal expectations of women, you know, they shouldn't fight in combat or go into space and not be too confident, as dana was saying — what do you think about this? if these values — articulate, direct — were the on

so it opened up that door of suspicion that maybe they had something to do with it as well. >> remember, when marieed, the fbi investigated on the theory it might have been espionage. but the family didn't know the results of that investigation and didn't know why police hadn't moved against andre. >> and since we didn't have the answers, it was always a wonderment to us on why it was taking so long. maybe they all were working in cahoots with each other. >> despite their dark suspicions, the family turned the letter over to inglewood police, but still, no answers. not for years. >> i constantly called california to find out what was being done and what was happening with the case. >> you didn't want to give up. >> i couldn't give up. it was my sister. >> the family didn't know it, but there was someone else who refused to give up. fbi agent rick hadel. he had never found any evidence of espionage in marie's murder, but he'd also never forgotten about her. >> so, here it is now january, 2002, i'm a squad supervisor now, i'm the guy that assigns the cases instead of investigating them. and i'm talki

i'm so jealous of marie and the group over there over at the kennedy space center, you actually got to see the launch and probably feel it as well marie, what was that like? >> it was just spectacular and, you know, the sun hasn't come up yet here in florida, but, you know, we were able to turn around and see the launch right behind us and it lit up the sky just absolutely breathtaking. >> it was so -- it was so astounding to see the colors. i mean, it was not just your usual fireball, but there was pulsating towards the -- kate, you're much more eloquent describing that sequence and while you're doing that happy to help. >> it was so fun and knowing that those guys were enjoying the ride along with the sights that we got to see. >> yes. >> made all the difference. there's nothing more relieving than crew in orbit. and of course, we were so lucky to have clear weather we are, being able to see the reentry burn as well. i was hoping we would be able to catch the landing burn, but unfortunately, clouds on the horizon did watch that view, but it was such a treat to see the reentry of that first stage as well. >> let's go over to ja

mary. >> reporter: hi, david. well, these numbers are out and they continue to show that shift in political power in this country to the south and west. historically democratic states are now losing congressional seats to republican ones. so, let's take a look at the map here. states that are growing in population and gaining seats include montana, florida and texas, which is gaining two seats, while states that are losing seats are concentrated mostly in the rust belt, states like ohio, pennsylvania and michigan. and for the first time ever, california is losing a seat. so, too, is new york. and david, this was extremely close. if just 89 more residents had been counted, they would be holding onto that seat. it is likely to raise questions about conducting a census in the midst of a pandemic, but tonight, the census bureau is standing firmly behind their count. david? >> wow, a difference of 89 people being included in the census. mary, thank you. >>> in the meantime tonight, we're going to turn to that unidentified o

what did mary think? i thi >> wellhink michael may be able to answer that question ry better than i.hat linc but i think it was very unlikeli that lincoln told many of thesee stories toll mary.. i[l mean lin cone's story-telliy was intended for male company. the so-called smutty jokes he told, the off-color jokes s wouldn't strike us quite as appalling that they woulddth ha struck the victorian sensibles of the drawing room and they were intended for company in the taverns and the circuit and the cabinet room, in the political d intercourse, conversation.n. how did it affect his marriage? i don't know how far lincoln used humor within his marriage.y i think almost certainly his sense of irony, his capacity for dry wit, his capacity to any situation, that was troubling, in a way that sort of might have turned into his advantage with mild humor, i think that public would have been true of his marriage but i don't think his conversation, the conversation of his marriage would have been the exchanging of stories. however d
