for more, we're joined by jorge renaud, national criminal justice director for latino justice. previously incarcerated for over 27 years in texas where he picked cotton, chopped trees, and did road work. he joins us from austin. and joining us from washington, d.c., is the sponsor of this amendment -- to the amendment, congress member nikema williams. it is great to have you with us for the first time as you replace john lewis in congress. let's start with this. can you talk about what is called the abolition amendment? >> absolutely. thank you for having me. i think we need to look at exactly where we are in our country right now. we are in a period of reckoning with our country's history. yesterday on the floor we voted to remove statues of people who voluntarily serve the confederacy in this country. we saw what happened on january 6. we came together as a country and voted in a very bipartisan -- people like to use that word so much -- bipartisan faction to make tutee the federal holiday. we still have our country's bending document, constitution has an exception for slaver

>> i would run a national criminal justice reform organization and served as an assistant district attorneyost serious, violent and complex cases. there's no doubt that the manhattan's d.a. office and others have been part of fueling -- and part of that has been seeking unduly long sentences. so reckoning with the criminal history has to include addressing excessive sentencing. >> i appreciate that. and you're sort of speaking about the two roles you've had. on the trump org case, we've seen from public reports there's some special grand jury impaneled, that means whoever wins this race could inherit an open case or potential indictments. do you thinks bays on the public evidence, this grand jury is legally justified? >> i have the most experience dealing with these -- as you know, i can't comment on the specifics of that case, but i do have the capacity to take over all of the cases pending before that office from the very first day as district attorney. i know the ins and outs of new york criminal law and criminal procedure law, and i'm prepared to make sure, base on my experience, there'

the criminal section of the civil rights division, together with the departments national security and criminal justice -- criminal divisions, 93 u.s. states attorneys and the fbi will investigate and promptly prosecute any violations of federal law. nearly 2.5 centuries into our experiment of government of the people, by the people, for the people, we have learned much about what supports a healthy democracy. we know that expanding the ability of all eligible citizens to vote is a central pillar. that means ensuring that all eligible voters can cast eva, that all lawful votes are counted, and that every voter has access to accurate information. the department of justice will never stop working to protect the democracy to which all americans are entitled. an editorial published after his death, the great john lewis recalled an important lesson top imo -- taught by martin luther king jr.. he said, quote, each of us has a moral obligation to stand up, speak up, and to speak out. when you see something that is not right, you must say something. you must do something. democracy is not a state. it is an act

don, there is a national crisis in the criminal justice system at the moment that's not being acknowledgedecognized and to fix it, a lot of what the president is proposing is going to help because he's talking about money to be poured into all these issues including not just the police and the courts, but also into a lot of the social needs out there for the emotionally disturbed, the homeless and drug addicted. the loss of lives and the drug addicted population is still continuing opioid crisis is phenomenal. you talk about the homicide rates. everyone focuses on the homicide rates. i focus on the shooting rates. those will become so adapt in the trama hospitals dealing with shooting victims that we save a lot of lives and in the '90s. homicide rate would be a lot higher but for the medical expertise in the hospitals. let's pay a little more attention for the shooting victims because those numbers are higher than the homicide rate. >> commissioner, i'm grateful to have you on to talk about the issues and i know it tough in the reform the police movement may not want to hear you words but

attorneys and with representatives of the national security division, civil rights division, criminal division at the office of justice programs. i am pleased to announce that the administration is today releasing the first national strategy for countering domestic terrorism. each of your components will play an important role in ensuring its success. the national strategy is designed to coordinate and provide a principle path for the federal governments efforts to counter the heightened domestic terrorism threat using all available tools. it is a culmination of an effort undertaken at the president direction by federal agencies all across the government, from the justice department to the department's of homeland security, defense, state, health and human services, and others. as part of this effort our law enforcement and intelligence agencies examined the evolving threat that faces us today. from the basic understanding we develop this national strategy to guide the work of a broad set of federal actors. at the justice department the deputy attorney general and i have already begun in preventing a range of measures

but that's a different issue, but my question to get is, is the national community committed enough to international criminal justice or not to do the leaders of the word really believes in this concept. and that we should all of them responsible for creating this and continuing to support that. hopefully that will be some just the, some of the assurance stopping they can see that has been happening in the past decades. and this was the only hope for these people, for people who would even just let them all together. and now we're seeing that by the way, we will fight for this. we will be pushing for such a justice because we think it is really needed, especially in situation like we are. one cannot rely on the local just and it was important, wasn't it that mean, obviously not just the 100 irritates, but the subsequent ones. it's important that there is a process because as again, dana pointed out in your report, so many of these killings go unpunished. exactly . so exactly. so we live with computers complete impunity and as we know, as we believe in community will in cottage, the put up a continue committing crime

think about the court of justice and the have or the national criminal court. so then credibility to this, well, it's a short trial. you can call it anything else, nothing but a show trial. they are not interested in actually, i would testimony and they're interested and preventing, call, call testimony to the world. well, it's interesting you say that i wanted to ask you though, obviously a key part of this case is establishing exactly where the missile was fired from whether it was in an area control by ukraine or by the rebels. do you think the satellite data that washington is refusing to release could potentially clear that up? absolutely. washing. may they have not. so part of the reason that they might have some good reasons for not eating those pieces of information that might be proven to be investigation . and my personal opinion is that they would not release information that contradict their favorite narrative. they all throw rocky to that are caught and impact the evidence show then, well the ukrainian government down this passenger out thing then

national defense information, that is brought to the attention of the intelligence community including the department of justice and i think it's important to recognize we're talking about national defense information. because a criminalntial like nonlaw enforcement just internal communications within the white house or within doj or any other department. it's only potentially a crime if it's a leak of national defense information, right. so, that is things that is injurious to the national security of the united states if they were made public. if they were disclosed to those who are not entitled to know that information. so, when there is that type of a leak, the intelligence community who sort of owns that information, brings it to the attention of the fbi and the department of justice and it makes a suggestion about whether it's something that they want investigated or not. and that's an important point, too. because sometimes the information is so sensitive and so dangerous to national security it might be something that really can't be investigated because the government would never want to go in court and actually, you know, confirm the accuracy of that national defense information. so, it's a strange inverse r

justice? eight different government in myanmar could refer these abuses to the international criminal court, the united nationsive permanent members of the council have to agree, and until now, both china and russia have vetoed any tougher action against the myanmar military. the criminal case could also be filed at a court in a country which recognises so—called universal jurisdiction. that has happened in germany and in spain, but for that to happen, the defendants would have to happen, the defendants would have to be in those countries. unlikely in this case. the prospect of justice for those who are victims of the military�*s violence in myanmar are still very distant. visitors may be returning to some of the uk's most popular tourist destinations, but employers are reporting problems recruiting staff. in cumbria, tourism bosses are warning the situation is reaching crisis point, and say the sector has been badly hit by new post—brexit immigration rules. yunus mulla reports. the lake district is looking busy. the visitors have returned in large numbers, but fewer people are choosing to work here. emma's de

when it comes to highlighting the excesses of the criminal justice reform movement and expressing support for our nation'sw enforcement i think your voice has been the loudest and most consistent in congress, and i personally appreciate that. while it hasn't has alwas way though from what i said it seems like your willingness to speak out on these issues puts you in a camp that seems to been dwindling in size for some time, and that takes me to my first question which is about, the criminal justice reform movement, police reform movement has been extremely successful over the last decade especially as you pointed out trends in decreasing incarceration decreasing the risk of decreasing police force sizes if the election of progressive prosecutors, it goes on. yet the movement seems to continue benefiting from its perception that it's an underdog movement, that it is public enemy fighting the power. is that true, particularly in congress, or is it the case that the criminal justice reform of it has momentum than some people mad on? >> the core beleaguered feel the movement supported only by george soros noi

nation." in cities across the country, lawmakers are working to create new policing and criminal justice reformsverdue. this comes as the race for manhattan's district attorney is heating up. the winning candidate will oversee one of the largest district attorney offices in the country. the changes that come out of their office will set the tempo for what other cities across the nation can achieve by rolling out these crucial reforms. with me now, candidate for manhattan district attorney and former new york state chief deputy attorney alvin bragg. attorney bragg, you're running for district attorney at a pivotal moment in new york city where lawmakers are facing a balancing act. on one hand, our city is long overdue for criminal justice reform. yet at the same time, the rise in crime, in gun violence, particularly hate crimes as well has been concerning. as d.a., what would your first steps be to ensure fairness in manhattan's criminal justice system but safety among its residents? >> thank you, reverend sharpton. happy father's day. i've lived at this intersection my entire life. i had a gun p

justice. we asked to say to continue investigating and make this criminal record emotional weekly here on our team to national times to be company. tonight will be back again in about half an hour with more stories. oh, i use it in the, in the me i hello and welcome to all the parts are times always bring out the bass and the worse than people in the governments. i mean, this sounds because this 900 conduct seems to be a pretty accurate reality check on individual countries and the world as a whole. rewarding. those who practiced and punishing those who only preached. but it is a potent or scary enough to put politics back into the service of policy, rather than the other way around the world to discuss it. i'm now joined by a former brazilian president lewis in nashville, lou, this silver mister president, is good to see. you thank you very much for talking to us by. oh, my pleasure, exxon. and well, 1st of all, let me start by asking you about the situation with the koran and virus because this is something that concerns people all around the world. not only in russian, brazil, but in many other country.

common ground on many key issues facing the nation and floufs bipartisan bills and issues on covid-19 recovery, health care, immigration and criminal justiceand they back the january 6th commission which was shot down by senate republicans. the 58 members of the problem solvers caucus practice the values they preach. they sit together in the center at the state of the union address and participate in district swaps and get to know each other's families and build personal relationships to uphold personal attacks and fund-raising against one another and aim to project unity through congress and throughout the country. in other words, the polar opposite of what we have come to expect out of congress. all of the incentive in the world is geared toward headline generating flame-throwers winning the fund-raising game by throwing red meat to their base. yet the irony is legislative action for many in that camp can sometimes be an after-thought. so it's hard to believe that the problem solvers caucus is part of the same congress as their quiet bipartisan work doesn't yield the same campaign cash or click bait. but they do exist and here to prove i

the highest level of sensitivity in any criminal investigation, including a national security investigation. so first of all, it would -- it should, in the justiceepartment, go up to the highest levels of approval, including the attorney general, to approve some type of action like that. second of all, there's two warning signs that i see in this not being handled in the way that i would want to see something handled. number one, it looks extremely broad. so if we're talking about 100 potential accounts. multiple members, their staffs, potentially family members, that indicates to me a lack of care in targeting specific timing, specific individuals, that this was a method of last resort when it's this broad and this big in scale, that looks that this was not the last resort in terms of the investigation. the second piece is, how was this handled in the national security division, my old division, at the justice department? if i was the members of congress, i'd be wanting to hear, not necessarily from former attorneys general, but from the current assistant attorney general for national security, john demurs who was the assistant attorney general

justice? we asked to say to continue investigating and make this criminal talking. i'm sorry, that's the weekly for this hour here on our team to national. thank you for sharing your sunday with us here at moscow. my colleague andrew farmer is here in half an hour's time at the desk with more of your highlights from the past week. for the meantime. thanks for joining me. ah. ah, i use ah, is your media a reflection reality the the in a world transformed what will make you feel safe for the tycer lation whole community? are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? which direction? what is truth? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend ah, so join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah, in the the.

criminal actors of any type. >> reporter: tackling these ransomware cases is going to be a major law enforcement undertaking. the justice department says it will use the nationality division, money laundering, and asset recovery investigators, the f.b.i., and other d.o.j. asset recovery investigators, the f.b.i., an components to try to disrupt these schemes. norah. >> o'donnell: all right, jeffhe. norah. >> o'donnell pegues, thank you. well tonight, president biden is hailing the may jobs report as a sign that america is on the move again. hiring did pick up with 559,000 jobs created. that's about double the april figure. and the unemployment rate dipped .3% of a point to 5.8%, the lowest since the pandemic began. but the u.s. still has nearly eight million fewer jobs than before. all right, tonight, the dangerous record-breaking heat that's been broiling the west is moving into the midwest and thew northeast. let's get the weekend forecast from cbs' lonnie quinn. i feel like, lonnie, it's going to be really a difference from last weekend. >> this is going to be two different ends of the spectrum i'll tell you. right now, here on the east coast, we're catchin

why my putting myself at risk if the criminal justice system is going to do their jobs, the communities speak on behalf of the good cops and the victims in this nation. shannon: these are civil servants, they want to do their jobs. i know as john said there's always going to be the bad cops shouldn't have that job but these are dedicated people, we were in falluja county, florida, last week, amazing individuals from all walks of life and all races and they just want to do their job and it is very frustrating right now how much of these far left wing das, removing them, how much of a signal would that send to the criminals? >> the problem is you have a situation that as far as i know is unprecedented in this country, unprecedented in the world. you have criminals all over the world, but in brazil you are much safer, or bombay, then and a lot of inner cities with the criminals can't pose a threat on their own. there has to be a very powerful criminal lobby so left wing das who are supposed to be guys going after the criminals, are in league with the criminals, the enablers of the criminals and then the media pursuing its own ideological agenda, you ha

national news tonight. federal government has seized more than 2 million dollars in ransomware payments from foreign cyber criminals. the department of justice investigators recovered about half the ransom that colonial had paid to the hackers who held its pipeline system hostage. the fbi was able to trace and recoup more than 2 million dollars in bitcoin from a group called dark side, which is based in russia. >> the old adage follow the money. still a plus. and that's exactly what we did. the extortionists. we'll never see this money. >> federal authorities say the payment is the first to be recovered by its new ransomware and digital extortion task force. >> and important and unanimous ruling on immigration by the u.s. supreme court. the 9 justices ruled that thousands of people here for humanitarian reasons are not eligible to become permanent citizens. justice elena kagan writing for the majority are writing for the court saying federal law prohibits those who came here illegally and gain temporary status from getting green cards to stay permanently. the ruling affects about 400,000 immigrants who fled countries that were ravaged by war

the biden justice department announced a major decision concerning donald trump and his former national security adviser, john bolton. attorney general garland has closed a criminal investigation into whether or not bolton's tell-all book about the trump white house illegally disclosed classified information. exactly one year ago, the trump administration sued bolton to try to stop publication of the book called the room where it happened. it was back then we also learned the former president was pressuring investigators to prosecute him. earlier tonight, bolton celebrated the decision with a swipe at his former boss. >> trump use the question of classified information purely as a pretext to try to suppress a book he did not want to come out before the november 2020 election. my book did go three a pre publication review process. it was cleared. this decision by the justice department is a vindication of the rule of law against what was another abuse of power by donald trump. >> and with that, let's bring in our lead off guests on this wednesday night, starting with jonathan lemire, white house reporter for the associated press. he was among the journalists trave

justice? a different government in myanmar it could refer to these abuses to the international criminal court. the united nations and russia have vetoed any tougher action against the myanmar military. a criminal case could also be filed at a court in a country which recognises so—called universal jurisdiction, that's happened in germany and in spain. but for that to happen, the defendants would have to be in those countries, unlikely in this case. the prospects ofjustice for those who are victims of the military�*s violence in myanmar are still very distant. time for a look at the weather with stav danaos. hello. for many of us work, part one of the weekend has been fine and dry with plenty of sunshine around any big improvement across the southeast of england after friday's wash—out. plenty of sunshine and fine weather around the country but not sunny everywhere. through the day, later on, cloudy skies pushing into western scotland, northern ireland and the far south west of england, courtesy of this new front arriving gradually as the day wore on. this will bring outbreaks of patchy rain through this evening

national security takes and backtracked on that idea. each country said bring their own criminals to justice country should be held accountable to not harboring cyber criminals and to bring and cyber criminals to justice, he's prepared to do that in the united states. he would like to see vladimir putin do that. this is not about exchange or response or anything like that. >> nato was to counsel russia but there is a big debate about re-composing it with a growing threat from china. that along with covid makeup bidens three cs and the president, highly contentious but all eyes on that meeting coming up on wednesday between president biden and vladimir putin. biden singh yesterday he would not hold a joint conference but he didn't see the benefits, bill. >> bill: benjamin, nice to see you. >> martha: russians accused of being behind many of the recent cyberattacks targeting u.s. corporations and government agencies. while president biden is condemning moscow, has he already given president putin a pass? marie harf, the spokesperson and fox news contributor and morgan ortega under president tr

i putting myself at risk if the criminal justice system isn't doing their jobs, if the community isn't going to speak out on behalf of good cops and victims in this nationami is putting more cops in neighborhoods with gun violence. you have seen it. you have seen that violence cut nearly in half. but at the same time, we have seen several mass shootings in your city. help us understand the solution you believe will work. >> first of all, we have a congress that does its job, elected officials that are not worried about political theater or are married to the base of either party. think about all these mass shootings in our country. if those were people that were muslim, foreign, extremist, or home grown extremist, not just everyday crazy kids going around shooting the city and other cities, congress would be tripping over itself to close the gun show loophole, to have a universal background check, to do a myriad of things to keep firearms in hands of law abiding americans. we need congress to do its job and need them to act. pretend it is foreign extremists shooting up cities instead of americans. >> safety should not be political. you have been as i sa

justice department. they treat it as a national security threat. what that means is that they are deploying the intelligence agencies to spy on these ransomware criminals, most of whom are in russia and are given sanctuary there. they are considering offensive cyber strikes, which could mean anything from disrupting communications of the criminals to turning their computers into bricks. that's a dicey proposition. that would mean ordering an offensive cyber operation inside a sovereign country. that could invite retaliation. as the former general counsel of the nsa said to me, what we're doing so far just isn't working. >> it does not seem to be. ken dilanian, thank you so much. >>> one of the next crucial steps in stopping covid is getting kids vaccinated. in new york city, sites are popping up in schools. we will go live to one in the bronx next. >>> close encounters. of the government kind. we have a preview of that new intelligence report on mysterious sightings in the sky. what can be explained and what can't be explained. >>> first, it's the end of an era with duke's basketball coach. i asked him what he is most proud of about his extraordinary c

criminal prosecution. i'd like to see that across the nation and, of course, with our federal officers. >> again, as a candidate right now, you are calling for the passage of the george floyd justiceamework agreement on it. what is your message to lawmakers on how to get it passed? >> get it done. this is not something that is isolated to -- it disproportionately affects african-americans and people of color, but it afefects everybod. when george floyd died, it wasn't just african-american people of color out there protesting. it was all types of people. this act is extremely important to the nation. it should have been done long ago. there's no reason that worthey can't do this on a bipartisan measure. it affects everyone. get this done now. >> as a former police officer yourself, where are you on qualified immunity? >> qualified immunity is a court-derived doctrine that needs to go. it was a way to circumstvent th civil rights act, as a way for courts to excuse the illegal and improper behavior of police officers. it needs to go. i don't see an avenue for trying to fix it or repair it. just scrap it. if officers are behaveing the wy they're trained, we're hoping they will be in
