. >>> now, the late writer doris lessing was the oldest person to accept a prize for literature, at the age of 88. her legacy lives on where she donates 3,000 books to her personal collection to a public library. al jazeera spoke to a librarian who believes her donation will give a boost to the community. >> i have been in to librarianship for the past 10 years. to me, being in the library, it's a people's area. it's all-encompassing, from the toddler to the old citizens. anyone can come in to look for information that is here. zimbabwe has a good culture, and they can reflect on the 98% literacy rate with the economic situation. that has been prevailing for the past years. libraries have not been in a position to really stock their collection. that is sort of driven away patrons from the library. public institutions like the university library, it doesn't receive any grant. receiving donations from well-wishers goes a long way. we have been promised the lessing collection, and the library receiving that collection will actually bring publicity to the library. many people would be inter

attention is a lot of depositssof 10,000 -- less than 10,000 because they're trying to escape either recognition or you're doing something that's not hunky-dory, but seizing ahead of time, seems to go against american legal, you know, history or am i wrong? >> right. well, it's completely -- i mean, it's wrong. it's backwards because what you should do, if there's a suspicion then investigate. and then if the investigation comes to fruition and shows there is wrongdoing, then initiate the for fit you're proceedings. they're attacking the business so they can't use the money. neil: any of the money? one woman who had the $30,000 in your checking account all that was frozen and prevented access to? >> they're seizing that entire amount. everything in question. the parties can't use that money if t's legal money they can't use it for their legal fees. a lot of times like this one lady, this was all she had. this was her life savings. that was the money that she could have used to fight it in court. a lot of people don't have the money up front to pay an attorney to fight these cases. and attorneys aren't willing to wait to get attorney's fees te

. >> dory one of the things that a lot of people don't know about silicon valley is it is far less welcomingo women than you would think. it is not an entirely welcoming environment, and certainly for women who are trying to start their own businesses, it is not an entirely welcoming environment. which goes on to say. this has not been a great place for adversity. does this help apple and silicon vall valley? >> i think it absolutely does. it shows that apple is walking the talk. and tim cooke is willing to stand up and be counted, but there is a subset in silicon valley of what are called bro-grammars, frat boy bros that create a culture that is not really welcoming to women and perhaps gays and lesbians. >> and they are also the people who finance -- you have a whole bunch of people that go from wall street to silicon valley. richard we're almost upon on election, how does this start to resolve itself? does it evolve? does it tag on to the gay marriage wagon or is somebody going to have to lead the charge to say everywhere in america you cannot be fired for being gay. >> it's interesting,

is peckive the actions are less effective when you have acting people or vacancies in those positions how that will work on the immigration front, i don't know. mark and doris, i'm sure know better than i. but that's a complicating factor. as a more general matter, you can take executive action through regulations, through executive orders and the like. executive orders do tend to stick around a little bit longer because it's -- it's still a relatively burdensome process to undo one. you don't just pass an executive order saying "never mind." but it's not the same as legislation and as mark suggested, really, while there are many avenues for executive action and have cumulatively put them together, it's pretty potent. it's not the same as comprehensive reform. legislators don't like it, but if there's no other alternative the legislators who support the policy are going to be happy with it, and what's always true is that in some cases is that legislators secretly do like it because they don't have to take it t responsibility and they can take pot shots afterwards. let me make a comment on what follows some on what simon said. there is a better than even cha
