so i'd like to that and welcome joseph johns. >> good morning. thank you, supervisor.upervisor peskin and the department and director linda in giving us motivation. this has been a really challenging broj. so far we've done eleven districts and throughout the city, we've done about 80 locations above 7,000 units and we continue to do that. one thing i want to say is that like seven years ago, i remember supervisor peskin coming to my office and reviewing the fiber deployment and motivating us to do more and more of that. not able to implement in a cost effective way because of that reason we put in more fiber and supervisor peskin used to, you know, and that has helped a lot and not only district three, that is helping other parts of the city also. and we have a highly dedicated motivated team and we are looking for opportunities to do more and more locations. and, with that, i will request you to speak about some challenges you face. >> i'm randy cassantis. i work with d.t.. this is the only project i've been on and it's truly an honor to serve the community and even

john? what's up, lewis? what's up joseph? good to see you. there you go. welcome, everybody!everybody. please, have a seat. thank you so much. welcome to "the late show." in here, out there, everybody playing hooky, i'm your host... ( laughter ) ( cheers and applause ) o, no! oh, no! now you're on camera. hmmm. i am your host, stephen colbert. it's a rainy day here in new york. before the storm, the national weather service urged new yorkers to "take it slow" today if traveling. now, if you want to take it slow, just walk behind any tourist in midtown: "what are you looking at up there? it's a building. they don't have bricks where you're from?" ( laughter ) pof course, we're not the only place with weather. from an atmospheric river to tornadoes to today's rain, extreme weather has struck coast to coast. scientists agree that all these extreme weather events are tied to global warming, which is happening whether you believe it or not. and for the record, many americans choose not, because a new poll says 45% of americans don't believe humans cause climate change. it doesn't

joseph, michigan, and benton harbor, michigan, you're talking about two different worlds. johny points to a long history of manufacturing decline and so-called white flight that's left benton harbor struggling with few resources and a crumbling infrastructure. that history may be why outrage seems common among benton harbor residents, but surprise does not. reverend pinkney: environmental racism right here, we're looking at it. look around you. and i always talk about how different things would be if it was a white community. you know, they would call in the army, fema. joe biden would be here. you know, all of this would happen. but, by being a black neighborhood, they really don't care. john: meanwhile, residents like carmela patton are still paying for water they're being told not -- they can't drink. carmela: and i got a call down there, starting with the city manager, called them. why are we paying for bad water? nobody returned the phone call, e-mail or anything. and the bills is pretty high. john: meanwhile, benton harbor is racing to replace all 6,000 of its lead servic

johns joins us from port-au-prince. hi. >> reporter: good morning, so, this is wilson joseph, the leader of 400 mawazo, the group now holding the hostages will be killed. he made that threat on a video at a funeral of members of his gang that he said had been killed by police forces here in haiti. also important to report that this gang apparently has provided authorities with proof that the hostages are still alive. as you know, earlier this week that group demanded $17 million, 1 million for every man, woman and child they were holding. important also to say that typically in the kidnappings here in haiti, and there have been hundreds of them over the last couple years, what you do find is an outlandish sum of ransom will be demanded and that number eventually will be negotiated down. and one other thing i think to say here from haiti before we leave you is that the police chief here in haiti has abruptly resigned. it was abrupt, but not necessarily unexpected because the prime minister here was under pressure to get rid of him due to the problems with security and kidnappings. back to you. >> a country with a kidnapping

representative john lewis, martin luther king jr., coretta scott king, joseph lawry, c.t. vivian, raffle david abernathy, and of course, andrew young. these are the individuals that were on the frontlines fighting for those of us, members of congress, african-americans, to be in this chamber, to be in this house, to be in this body, to represent the values and the dreams of not only people of our ilg -- ilk, but of the american people. had it not been for those individuals, as representative terry terri sewell has mentioned, the foremothers, forefathers, we would not be here today. free and fair elections are the bedrock of american democracy. that's what this democracy was founded upon. as john lewis used to say, freedom is not a state, it is an act. freedom is the continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair and more just society. and together, each and every one of us must do our part. when i think about the fact that my father worked so hard in the civil rights movement, that my father was there, in the white hous

joseph has demanded $1 million for each of the hostages which we should remember includes children. a state department official say they believe the video threat is legitimate. joining us live from haiti, joe johnshostages. where does this stand? are there negotiations under way? are there considerations for paying some sort of ransom? >> anybody's guess, but i can tell you there are concerns about actually paying ransom, simply because it could cause problems for other americans who might be kidnapped down the line. i have to tell you, this group is not known to be as sadistic as it were as some of the other gangs, but at the same time, across this country, since last year there have been hundreds and hundreds of these kidnappings, which create a very worrying situation for the united states, simply because this is the country a few hundred miles off the shores of the united states. the white house deputy press secretary was asked about it just yesterday. here's what she said about the problem. >> we have been working closely with the haitian national police to try to build their capacity as well as help put in place programs that can effectively deal with the gangs. but it is a very challengin
