last year -- brussels attacks made various visits to birmingham last year. a belgian minister has announced in is resigning over lapses security. as she stepped down, she told reporters she is the victim of she called a media crusade. transportbelgians minister has stepped down three weeks after deadly bombings in brussels. this accusation, which i was laxo claim that and did not pay enough attention to matters of security, affects me deeply. as a matter of fact, if there is one area that i always paid attention to, that was the one. reportaccording to an eu leaked by two belgian opposition parties dated from march, 2015, a year before the attacks. they detail shortcomings in but onlyecurity, covered areas reached after security screenings and not the departure lounge where the bombers blew themselves up. me --ht was confirmed to it was confirmed to me, contrary to what i knew, that a summary of this report was sent to the minister's cabinet in june, 2015. factnot accept that this was only announced on thursday and parliament. gracefully,igning the minister

my second sister was born in birmingham when they moved from new orleans to birmingham. my family came back and i was born and my brother was born and we came back to the u.s. i landed to u.s. in march of 1961. after that, there it is, end of march and by made-may already things were happening in birmingham. this was when the freedom whiteers who were passing through the south and challenging the jim crow laws in the -- riders -- area. the birmingham bus depot is where they were met with violence and the police turned their backs on that and let whatever was going to happen happen. within a year we moved to marion which is a small town of 3,000 that is in the black belt region of the state. that is where i, as a child, by then of six, i had learned to read, that i was able to witness the evidence of the whites-only signs and so forth in the stores that made an impression on me. but we just happened to be in this particular part of the state of alabama where that was very much in evidence. in a small town it is hard to not see what is going on. i do talk about the culture

after we lost the presidency, i lined up a job at the university of alabama birmingham. while teaching there, the new head of the republican party came to me and said would you help me out? i have to sell republicanism to alabama. now alabama is a red state but was a blue state back then. i went to work for bill harris and we needed to raise money and asked republican big names come to in. conley and reagan said no. we asked george walker bush to come in and he said yes and spoke at a big civic center in birmingham which was the republican city at the time. we went to the civic center and i was sitting at a table and near me was his nerdy young man with blond hair and he said why don't you tell us what you think of george bush's speech and i said well, okay. i will do that. i took notes as bush spoke. then when the speech was done, the nerdy young man and turned to me and said what did you think? i said he is a nice young man and very bright but needs organization and sense of style. it is obvious that wasn't rehearsed and it needs to be. and he said my name is karl rove

birmingham, alabama, the poor are gaining as much in life expectancy as the rich, but in tampa, floridat, the poor are living shorter lives today than in the begin overthis millennium. in terms of why we're seeing the increase in gap, i think the story is not just one at the national level, it's one thatth will force us to look at the local level to understand why the trend looks so positive in birmingham, yet so negative in other places like tampa. >> woodruff: and are there clues now as to why that is? >> the places with the highest levels of life expectancy for the poor tend to have better health behaviors, perhaps not surprisingly these are places with lowerhe levels of obesity, higher levels of exercise, lower levels of smoking. they also tend to be cities like new york and san francisco, more affluent, highly educated, high-cost of living cities where the poor seem to be doing better. we don't know exactly why. one potential hypothesis is these types of cities invest a lot in public health. they're often the first cities to enact smoking bans or bans on transfats which could end u

two key players in those attacks went to birmingham last year. they took pictures of various scenes in that city, including one of the huge soccer stadiums. one of the huge terror attacks was at a soccer stadium there. it raises the possibility those arrested overnight might have been planning something like that but no plot has been described as of yet. abaoud killed by police, abrini in custody. what more do we know, gregg? reporter: this underscores what you are saying. the european-wide program, a french-belgium a axe axis of te. it's reported he had enough time in october, one month before those attacks to go to birmingham and do a reconnaissance run about another series of attacks. abrini had time, too, to go to birmingham even though he was involved in the paris and brussels attack. martha: thank you very much. bill: now we go to politic where it's getting nasty between bernie sanders and hillary clinton. they were burning in brooklyn, aggressively challenging each other's judgment to be president. >> i don't question her judgment. i quest

jeannie thompson who is a poet, this might downgrade from the vicki covington who also was from birmingham. so we did draw on the alabama literary community that we knew and then we had authors from all over the southeast in addition to that. i think you could say that pretty much all of them to start out of the conventional name string religious tradition that there were a of felt some pushback. you know, it might be what you consider sort of minor comments were, you know, people not been as friendly or it may be a major in the sense he decide the sense he decide he needs a bigger job because you can't be the person you are and still remain in that position. but i would say over all and all of these essays there is a sense of when you decide to be who you really are, there's a tremendous freedom that comes with that. and so it's a bravery. it took courage for these women to step outside of the mainstream. but i think it was so much better for them to do that they had to conform to something that didn't fit today were any more. my sense from reading these essays is that it was worth it.

in 2014 the new statesman reported on two british juhadis who before leaving birmingham for syria bought copies of islam and koran writing about young french juhadis. the islamic state is the ultimate gang celebrating violence for its own sake. these young men and some women are usually second generation europeans. in fact, he points out often they're revolting against their more traditional parents. they're unsure of their identity rooted in neither the old country nor the new. they face discrimination and in this context nthey choose a lif of rebellion and crime and ultimate adventure. why are these findings so important? they see the picture of a new kind of terrorist. one less drawn in through religion but rather who has chosen the path of terror as the ultimate against modern work and then finds an ideology that can justify his desires. radical islam does provide that off the shelf ideology using the internet and social media. it's the end point in the chain, not the start. this still means muslims have to battle and eradicate in the radical islam. it does suggest for western law en
