for the first time, an american city had selected a specific area to inspect.t was a thoroughgoing investigation of all fire building, and health violations, in block number one. >> this was enough drama to involve even the most indifferent. it was a wholesale attack on one block, with the block captains, the mayor, and the heads of the city departments officiating. it was good to know that the city officials meant business. it was good to know, too, what could be done. soon, throughout the 27 blocks, the walls came tumbling down. ♪ >> and then after the tearing down, the rebuilding, the repairing. ♪ >> sunday that on c-span's "q&a," "washington post" reporter on the situation in the middle east and his opinion on the 2003 invasion of iraq. >> and i think one of the things about the bush administration and will never claim to be an expert on the middle east or on iraq and proved it, and history has proved it. we look at things from our own point of view and get deceived by it. you can go back to be a non--- to vietnam as a great example. the first time we did i

this is not a scene from an american city, this is tel aviv. the man being beaten is an array -- and israeli soldier of ethiopian descent. this video circulated on social media and sparked huge demonstrations. thousands marched in protest of what ethiopian israelis say is the institutional racism they experience every day. on sunday night, things turn violent. dozens on both sides were injured. scenes like these left politicians scrambling to shape a response. prime minister benjamin netanyahu invited the soldier to his jerusalem office. >> i hope it will be understood the ethiopian community is part of israeli society and they try to integrate into this society in every field. it is time to put an end to violence and racism. reporter: race relations are a major topic in israel. the violence of jews of different colors has left israel with difficult questions to answer. anchor: we want to pull in our correspondent who is on the line with us from jerusalem. we're used to hearing about palestinians and israelis fighting it out, but this story is a

yet again, the streets of an american city are marred by violence, by shattered glass and shouts of anger and shows of force. yet again, a community is reeling, its fault lines laid bare and its bonds of trust and respect frayed. yet again, brave police officers have been attacked in the line of duty. what we have seen in baltimore should, indeed, i think does tear at our soul. from ferguson to staten island to baltimore, the patterns have become unmistakable and undeniable. walter scott, shot in the back in charleston, south carolina. unarmed, in debt, terrified of spending more time in jail for child support payments he couldn't afford. tamir rice shot in a park in cleveland, ohio, unarmed, and just 12 years old. eric garner choked to death after being stopped for selling cigarettes on the streets of our city. and now freddie gray. his spine nearly severed while in police custody. not only as a mother and a grandmother but as a citizen, a human being, my heartbreaks for these young men and their families. we have to come to terms with some hard truths about race and justice in america.

america cities are the heart of our country we need an agenda for american cities. we need to stop ignoring especially people of color and act like they are disposable citizens. that's not our economy works or our country works. >> do you think you can run on your record as mayor of baltimore and governor of maryland? you are getting a lot of scrutiny now. do you think this is a positive thing voters will look at and say martin o'malley should be president. >> i did not dedicate my life to make baltimore safer and just place because it is easy. i am more inclined and deeply motivated to address what's wrong with our country and needs to be healed and fixed. this should be a wake-up call what happened in baltimore should be a wake-up call for the country. the protests that also happened in new york, philadelphia and other cities. we have deep problems as a country. we need deeper understanding if we are going to give our children a better future. >> it sounds like you want to make it central to your campaign. >> i think it has to be central. >> you'll probably announ

by this they're bothered when in ferguson it looked like the military is being rolled out in an american city. conservatives are now talking and rand paul is leading on criminal justice reform and trying to push back and roll back some of the things supported by republicans and democrats. let's not forget that bill clinton pushed through legislation and signed into law a bill that was very harmful for a lot of african-americans. >> so let me ask this question too. part of the issue here is if paul is going to sort of wage this campaign you talked about him leading a movement which i think may be true but that doesn't necessarily get you to a plurality of voters there's this question of how long -- there was an interesting piece from politico about the fact there's no big billionaire rising to the fore to essentially be the backer for paul, which i'm sure someone could take around and take as a badge of pride but there's all these other candidates who can keep them in it for the long run. >> but money isn't going to win it. you can have billionaires running super pacs. it didn't push rick sant

it's really incredible to see this in an american city. now the next line which is a small group of police officers is advancing to join b that line of police officers. the police commissioner is out here. i tried to yell to see to see if he could talk to me. he was not interested in talking to me. at least on camera. the police vehicles are moving too. there are more police officers behind them. prince georges county police officers are now backing up those lines of officers and advancing. and al all the way down the block, there's another line of them that could move too, but they're just standing still. it's interesting because the contrast with last night is the fact that there was a darker mood in the crowd, people were angrier, but it's a much smaller crowd that remains after we started seeing those choppers overhead making the announcement to leave the square. >> joy, we have a helicopter shot of what looks like at least one arrest going on two officers have someone in custody. it's hard -- i can't tell exactly where that is, whethe

using their power against minorities but here in baltimore we have an african-american mayor, an african-american police chief and city'sy. three of those charged in the wrongful death are african-american and the one facing the most serious charges himself is an african-american. at some point we're going to have to say localities have to say there's some reason why you cannot trust the local administration the mayor, and that administration to deal with their own departments. >> because, by doing that steve, it sends its own message. >> right. and i think that's actually the intent here. it's important to note that there's already an investigation. i mean there's an investigation that was triggered by the killing of freddie gray the police department. this is a separate civil rights investigation and for the reasons that charles suggested, i think it's perhaps redundant and maybe unnecessary. it sends a message, it's designed to make people feel better about the situation. it's designed to placate people out on the streets protesting and raising a fuss. the problem here is that this will not, again, get to the core pr

if you look at a city like baltimore where it is primaryily an african-american city, most of the businessowners small ones are going to be many that are black owned. you're going to take an entire city private sector as well as public sector to fix this community. that's why we're so excited to be here as a u.s. black chamber because we feel like it's going to be the mom and pop businesses that need to come back as well as large farms. >> what are you doing? it is your job, incumbent upon you to bring those companies here especially big corporations like the cvs that we saw burned down monday. how do you convince them yes, this is where you want to be after they've seen what's happened? >> the great thing about this experience here is that people from the outside have been able to see baltimore for its true colors. and this is a beautiful city. it's a vibrant city with a beautiful people that love their community. >> do you think that's what most people have seen this week? >> i think the folks that are here are seeing that. >> on television? >> what we need to do is make sure baltimore is take

wrong, not renewed the capability to draw a picture around a life somebody we just picked up on an american citye'll continue the breaking news. what's going on. there's other stories we're following that are breaking now as well including new details about the horrifying murders of four people right here in the nation's capital. in a major mansion. >>> also, a rare sighting of the older brother of the north korean strongman king jong-un. why is he attending rock concerts instead of trying to help run his country? it's part adrenaline and part adventure. it's part geek and part chic. it's part relaxation and part exhilaration. it's part sports car and part suv. and the best part? the 2015 gla. it's 100% mercedes-benz. the promise of the cloud is that every organization has unlimited access to information, no matter where they are. the microsoft cloud gives our team the power to instantly deliver critical information to people, whenever they need it. here at accuweather we get up to 10 billion data requests every day. the cloud allows us to scale up so we can handle that volume. we can help keep

whether a hate-filled, white segregationist power structure oppressing the black, this is an african-american cityblack mayor, a black states attorney, black police commissioner and black city council president. what we're talking about is not the power structure politically of oppressing people we're talking about the indifference toward poverty and toward a situation of really deprivation in this country that essentially went undebated in the election of 2012. you remember the mantra of the election is middle class, middle class, middle class. this is the first major city riot in the united states in the 2 is century. cincinnati in 2001 had four nights of rioting after a police officer killed an unarmed 19-year-old black male on traffic citations. no, i think this is different from the others, from charleston cleveland, rice. i think it's forcing us to address and go through the debate of what are we going to do about this. >> woodruff: and, in fact, the president said, david this week, we as a country have to do some soul searching. >> i would agree with soul searching. i disagree with indiffer

acknowledge that the entire power structure of baltimore is not white but african-american, an african-american mayor african-american city council president, police commissioner and the list goes on. there are lots of causes for the failure of baltimore to serve its citizens but racism is nowhere near the top of that sad list. for our president to take no responsibility for the broad failure of african-american leadership in baltimore is simply gut-wrenchingly disappointing. for the president of the united states to resort once again to the politics of racial exploitation is utterly damnable because it again victimizes the people of baltimore who suffered far too much, far too long in that city's corruption. the racial politics of the left have become nothing more than transparent rationalization of failure. neither the leaders of the city of baltimore nor our president can hide from their responsibility for the decades-long devastation of what was once one of this country's great cities. that, mr. president, is the truth that you said you wanted. >>> our quotation of the evening. i should say, quotations of the evening.

an impression shared by many europeans as well. let's face it. detroit or new orleans, most american cities make this town look like club med by comparison. glasgow remains the region's noble shit zone. what i find most endearing in this town is if you're a native, you're probably an expert at taking a piss. a high level style of ball busting that approaches an art form around here. >> well, it's good to be back at work again. >> no one excels more at deflating the pompous, making fun of self-importance, turning even the darkest tragedy into comedy than glaswegians. that's if you can understand the bastards. this can be a challenge after a couple of pints of heavy. >> glasgow has a reputation of being a hard drinking, two-fisted town. >> yeah. >> i've always found it to be this funny, very funny town. >> very dark humor. if you say in america, my father died, people immediately are so sympathetic. in glasgow if you say my father's died, the glaswegians say what size were his shoes. we have that. >> jamie godley grew up on the east end, married into an organized crime dynasty, worked as a ba

an open wound. many american cities are still struggling with it. how to help communities interact more effectively with the people they are worn to protect? cleveland police chief, calvin williams. >> what it really comes down to is, you know, we have to -- i have to, as chief make sure that that community policing philosophy is part of the d.n.a. of the cleveland division of police. and that's what i intend to do. >> cleveland is only one of the cities that has come under federal scrutiny. what else is brewing out there kerry? >> since the obama administration took office, they've done about two dozen investigations of police departments all over the country. gwen, these are investigations by the civil rights division at the justice department, under a 1994 law. congress pass it after the brutal beating of rodney king in southern california. it allows the justice department to go in, send teams to look at whether police are engaging in unconstitutional actions racially motivated traffic stops, for instance. use of excessive force and other miscond

what we need to do as a nation to rebuild our country and america's cities are the heart of our country. we need an agenda for americanities. we need to stop ignoring especially people of color and act like they're disposable citizens in this nation. that's not how the economy is supposed to work or the country. >> do you think you can still run on your record, mayor of baltimore and governor. you're getting a lot of scrutiny now. do you think this is a positive thing that voters will look at and say martin o'malley -- >> i did not dedicate my life to make baltimore more safer and just place because it was easy. i am more motivated now to what needs to be healed and fixed. this should be a wakeup call. it should be a wakeup call for the entire country. the protests that happened in new york and philadelphia and other cities, we have deep problems as a country. we need deeper understanding if we're going to give our children a better future. >> this sounds like it has to be central. >> it has to be central. >> i wouldn't think of announcing anyplace else. this has been a setback. but our story is not over. we're not de

american freedom defense initiative. they held this event in as you were describing it, an average, every day american city. very diverse city. and they're holding an event it appears at this moment to be an event that would not necessarily be accepted by everybody and maybe perceived by some as disrespectful. for muslims and the depictions that they may have had there, cartoons and illustrations and art work of the prophet muhammad. had they put on events before in that area and had it caused any issue in the past that you're aware of? >> well, you know, that group has been listed by the southern poverty law center as an anti-islam hate group. so they're pretty well-known. the members are pretty well-known, you know, to people who watch those kind of things and intelligence type people. so they're pretty famous in they own right to get out and hold public events. and condemning sharia law and all types of things they see as, you know, anti -- kind of an anti-islamic overall. doesn't seem they hate -- seem to talk about all the muslims as one. combining them with the terrorists and that's why the southern po

how long will it be before an american city tries to protect its citizens and get sued by some company is important to say that so much of this deal is not about trade. much of it is about investor protections. it really has much more to do with that kind of thing. so, you know, are you -- when the people that want this deal are willing to come forth and say here is how the market worker is going to benefit, and in addition to that, when they say here is the whole deal, look at it, scrutinize it, and if you like it, supported. that is a time when we can have a realistic conversation. at the listeners should know, you know, if a member of congress wants to see the transpacific partnership proposal, we cannot have staff come in, we cannot take notes as we review the documents -- host: you can't take notes or you cannot leave within us? guest: thank you for that correction. we cannot leave without notes but what good are notes if we get me with them deco i can jot -- with them? i can jot down notes and then handed to the staff when i leave. and it is important to point out that all the ex
