good morning to you, cedric. let's start with this investigation. where does it turn right now?> well, they'll continue with what they've been doing throughout the night. but certainly what's going to be important here is try to make some determination as to what the motive was behind this horrible incident which these people were injured and killed. it is still early into the investigation. but even though from the time that had occurred, we have gain in order information into his military history, his family history. but to that community, it is just devastating, it's shocking. and as you heard some of the citizens there say, this type of community where we went -- everyone know each other, support each other, it's very, very different. but here let me say something. rather it's a small community, a large community. this type of violence by someone who appears or may have some type of mental health, may have had some type of mental health condition going on is devastating to any community. >> let's talk a little bit about his background. we know that he had -- he was in the mi

cedric, we know that this is a church that often recorded its church services. this was the 11:00 church service today. it was about halfway through, 11:30, when witnesses say the gunman came in and opened fire. how important will that video evidence be to investigators? >> it's going to be incredibly important information to determine whether this subject was already sitting in the church among other parishioners, whether this individual came in through the front door shooting any innocent victims. it's going to tell us a lot. the unfortunate part of this is if they were up online doing their services, there could have easily been those who could have been watching this service in progress and also could have been interrupted by this very violent shooting. so a lot of video footage hopefully will be out there, but unfortunately it's going to be very painful and very graphic to watch. and -- but law enforcement, i'm quite sure, is going to do everything they can in that community to try to see if any further information can prove to be of value of this case. >>

is this fanning the flames here, cedric? >> absolutely it's fanning the flames. it's unfortunate because it seems to be an attitude out there that's becoming more and more emboldened. certainly we know where we're hearing some of these dog whistle messages coming from. but i think that aside we as americans have to decide we're going to be a lot more sensitive, particularly now in the climate that we're, in and we need to be conscious of what we say. we need to be very sensitive to each other. and we have to remember that we're all americans trying to live our lives in a democratic way every day but we cannot allow ourselves to, don, to be offensive and just make statements and act out in gestures that we know are going to be offensive. >> mark, why are you shaking your head? >> that's just not helpful. >> well, because i live what he's saying. i try to. but we have to deal with some harsh realities that we have become a more polarized country in the past year than i've ever seen before or than i've ever read about. we now have a situation where the bigots, the r

thank you to cedric malborough and all the viewers who pointed out newsnight‘s mathematical mistake,ch they have apologised. last saturday, the body of guy pope was found near her home in dorset after extensive search. police have described her death as unexplained and on monday released without charge three members of the whole family who had been arrested on suspicion of murder. that led gary snashall to ask: wednesday's news was dominated by the budget. that night's bulletin started with a report from political editor laura kuenssberg. almost ready to go, a big day for downing street. whose grip for months has been shaky to say the least. the priority for number ten and 11 those powerful next—door neighbours was for today's events not to slip, to keep the budget is tightly within their grasp. the chancellor, the aim to be the steady national bank manager, not to tear up the rules altogether. knowing his ownjob as well as the government's fortunes would be shaped by what she was about to say. much more on the budget followed, too much for tony siddell, who said: glenn scott also pi

and also want to take the time to acknowledge our chair, the honorable cedric richmond from the state of louisiana, and for the next 60 minutes we have a chance to speak directly to the american people on the issues that are important to the congressional black caucus. and the issue right now that seems to be of the most importance to the congressional black caucus and the constituents that we represent, and the american public for that matter, is tax reform. and the plan that is being considered, that the speaker has indicated that he would like for us to vote on this week, we have a few members here that would like to take the time to also express their interest in this. but this is a very big deal, obviously. we don't do tax reform that often. the last time we did tax reform was in the early 1980's and that was obviously something that was very bipartisan. this experience has not been bipartisan whatsoever. and we're concerned also about the effect that's going to have on our constituencies. i would like to ask my friend and colleague from the garden state, the state of new jersey,

. >>> cnn military analyst, retired colonel cedric lleyton joins us now.d morning to you, colonel. i tell you what i found remarkable but i'm not the colonel in this conversation but you tell me if you agree. general hyten is entertaining the notion there could be an illegal order from the president to launch a nuclear strike, that he even engaged in that scenario? >> well, you're right, victor. good morning to you. the big thing here is that this was talked about, you're absolutely right about that. this issue is something that is perhaps whispered in the dark recesses of the pentagon and strategic command in nebraska. but it is not something that is normally discussed publicly because we just assume that the president is going to be mentally stable and is going to be ready, willing, and able to carry out the kinds of responsibilities that he or she would have which when it comes to defending the country either via nuclear strike or being able to execute those kinds of commands that would respond to a nuclear strike. >> so, colonel, i'm wondering how genu

. >> speaking of that, cedric richmond, who is the head of the congressional black caucus, questioned the attorney general about the diversity or lack of diversity of these nominees. >> in terms of nominating judges to the bench, our information tells us that out of all the judges that have been nominated, i think 91% have been white males. does that foster diversity? >> i'm not aware of the numbers, but we should look for quality candidates, and i think diversity is a matter that has significance. >> pete, there is an implicit suggestion there that they haven't found qualified candidates who are diverse, but i don't want to put words in his mouth. but there really is a remarkable lack of diversity in these nominees we're all just getting through. >> in this particular group, yes. i think to be fair to the justice department here, i think the truth is they have a very limited role in this entire process. more so in this administration than in others, but whenever there is a republican administration, you know, there is people outside the government who spend months and months and mont

there and every right to ask members of the leadership, there was the chairman of the black caucus cedric richmond and congressman clyburn have every right to ask the question, who elected them. is that the right answer? >> no, it's not. there is still time for democrats to fix this. but there is some frustration already building up. i talked to some democrats in battleground states yesterday who say this is going to add to the calls for nancy pelosi to step down. clyburn has been around for decades. conyers has been around for decades. this is one of the main arguments against pelosi, the need nor fresh leadership. this is adding another talking point to democrats. >> and yet, she's the highest ranking woman in american politics, accomplished, best fund-raiser for the democrats. mj, one of the complaints you touched on thissyer, i'll readed you from kathleen rice from new york, the accuser who attempted to seek help through a deeply flawed system should not continue to be silenced by the institution that failed to protect her in the first place referring to the fact if you file a complai

>> well, last reason to be concerned, cedric richmond, the chairman of the congressional black caucusery thorough question and answer session with the attorney general, and in response to a question from congressman richmond about his senior staff, the attorney general indicated he had no diversity as it relates to african-americans in his senior ranks. give all the important issues under the jurisdiction of the department of justice, including the criminal justice system, voter suppression, the upholding of civil rights laws in an era of increased hate crimes, it would seem to me to be reasonable that the doj should reflect the gorgeous mosaic of the united states of america and it does not. >> thank you, sir. anyway, the congressman, has you mentioned, when confronted with specific questions about russia and the campaign, sessions repeatedly said he could not recall. >> i had no recollection of this meeting until i saw these news reports. >> did anyone else at that meeting, including then candidate trump, react in any way to what mr. pop dpapadopouls represented. >> i don't recall.

. >> woodruff: today, the head of the congressional black caucus, congressman cedric richmond of louisianasued a statement saying that kelly "needs a history lesson" for minimizing slavery's role in the run up to the civil war. and, stocks closed higher on wall street today. the dow jones industrial average gained 28 points to close at 23,377. the nasdaq rose more than 28 points, and the s&p 500 added tw. still to come on the newshour: fallout from the newest revelations in the russia investigation. home alone-- chinese children, forced to raise themselves. and, from farm to school. preschool students learn to grow their own food. and much more. >> woodruff: we return to yesterday's legal developments. with the unsealing of criminal charges and pleas, robert mueller's russia investigation may have entered a new phase. in public, the white house has distanced itself from paul manafort, rick gates and george papadopoulos, but how are the president and white house officials reacting behind the scenes? ashley parker, of the "washington post," has some reporting on this. and she joins me now. s

the regional body sadek to interfere in their business a lot of people really resent the role that cedric and south africa have paid over the past many years because people believe that by approving what i have at times many people believe been questionable elections bad for south africa and other governments in the region have played a part in extending the presidency of robert mugabe the only person or leader in the region who's really stood out and speaking against robert mugabe is botswana's president in karma who again called for president mugabe to step down to south africa's played trying to play a leading role in reaching a negotiated settlement seen on voice too and we understand that still south africa's president jacob zuma will go to harare tomorrow on wednesday however they're really going to be very careful and cautious will not want to be seen to be interfering or extending on their mandate or impinging on zimbabwe as. sovereignty i think we're at the most likely to see the sort of thing that zambian president to go along who has been calling for tonight in a statement he s

. >>> let's get some thoughts on the president's messages to troops from cedric laden. he joins us via skype from huntington, pennsylvania. happy thanksgiving to you. we thank you for taking time out on this thanksgiving to chat with us. what did you like about the president's message to service members? >> well, boris, happy thanksgiving to you and everyone at cnn. and just want to think that when it comes to the president's message it was really good that he included the coast guard. that was superb. it was very important to recognize that branch of the armed forces. i also like he had a winning philosophy when it came to his discussion about afghanistan. and i also liked the idea he included military families. that is exceedingly important because every time we talk about the sacrifices that military members make, you look at the sacrifices that are also made by military families and those considerable sacrifices are ones that are not always recognized, and it's about time that they are. >> yeah, we can't say enough about the sacrifices not only do these service memb

involved there is a lot of pressure within from zimbabweans to south africa and to sadek that you know cedric and i can't delay too much on this this has to be resolved very quickly because because what's happening is a national convergence as we saw in harare but it's a fragile moment and sadoc. to have to be in sync with what the people are saying and that is calling for a fairly rapid exit and on that there is always outpouring how was talked about the field feeling good on the streets people saying this is a new beginning is it a new beginning or could it end up being more of the same if they put somebody like vice president who was pushed out if he comes in is he going to make for a better zimbabwe for those people out on the streets today. you know i mean i was i was just there a few days ago what people are really the number one thing people are talking about is the economy people are pragmatic. you know we know that it's not going to be a perfect transition we know that the next government is not going to be a perfect government but people want the economy to be sort of jobs money foo

held last week and as you say we're going to be very much driven by events in harare so exactly what cedric ends up responding to depends what happens in zimbabwe over the next couple of hours i think if we don't have a clear picture by the time the sec summit ends we can really only expect to have them reiterate their position calling for is about with constitution to be respected and for the rule of law to be maintained meanwhile we have head of the region's outspoken leader botswana's president in karma issue an open letter to president mugabe calling for him to step down that isn't so surprising because president carter has in the past made that sort of call and in doing so really stands out as a leader in this part of the world willing to put his head above the pope but if you like in that open letter which was released by the president's office on facebook and on twitter he says that our president mugabe should go with dignity he should listen to the cause of many hundreds of thousands of zimbabweans and he should exit with dignity so that zimbabwe can fulfill its economic and social
