international studies and associate professor at the edmond a walsh school of foreign service at georgetown university. that is a mouthful. thank you for joini ining me. appreciate it. what do you make of the fact that kim jung un didn't attend today's celebration? >> it doesn't automatically mean there has been a coop or he is incapacitated. his father kim jung il about 11 years ago disappeared for 40 something days and not every number of the kim family, the leaders have attended these anniversaries. it does as your report said raise questions about exactly what's going on. this was the 69th anniversary of the korean workers party. it's a big deal and he was expected to show up. when he was last seen he was limping. diplomats who saw him in the past year said he looked larger than on tv. bad complexion and sweating and breathing heavily. any instability is alarming because they are so heavily armed with missiles and chemical and biological weapons and artillery aimed at south korea. we can't conclude anything except that we have to watch it. partake us inside the white house. you have served for the

this was part of an all-day conference hosted by georgetown university law school. it's an hour and a half. >> we're going to get started. we're a little bit behind schedule. i'm the executive director at clinic. i'm delighted to have you all here. and i'm delighted to follow director rodriguez because he really set up this panel i'll be moderating this morning. he spoke of a broad spectrum of organizations that play a role in this issue. and how immigrants energize our economy. he also mentioned how the federal government how the administration's looking at stepping into the void created by the lack of congressional action. and that is essentially what we're going to be speaking about this morning. since 2007, state elelegislatur have introduced laws and regulations related to immigration each year. last year, lawmakers in 45 states in the district of columbia enacted 437 laws and regulations covering a wide range of issues, including higher education, enforcement and migrant and refugee programs. at the same time, civic organizations are focusing attention on inte

a law professor at georgetown university who has been in touch with the nurse said that the courts arevery suspicious when you deny a class of people their lib tip. she's being detained because she's a member of the large class of people who happened to have been in the region. do you have -- listen you're a doctor and you work with nurses, health care personnel. for those nurses, for the doctors who may experience the same thing, does that concern you? >> does it concern me that people might be kbaurn quarantined because they're willing to be a hero and step forward? >> absolutely. what we need to know is that these nurses and doctors will be responsible in taking their temperature every day. so far the reports is they are operating at the height of responsibility. they, of course, want to do the right thing. if it turns out they have a fever, they call public health and medical authorities, so far a few people have done. it makes no sense in terms of public health or fairness to these people to essentially lock people up in a tent with -- little food, little internet, no access to on

more let me bring in brown family attorney darryl parks, and the professor of sociology at georgetown universityou with us. st. louis police chief sam dotson say the officer fired his weapon 17 times after at least three shots were fired at him. how can they be so sure this happened before any investigation? what's your take on this? >> well, they have not earned the trust of the trouble here, ed. three shots fired at the allegedly, and then 17 in response to that. they said the weapon of the young man jammed. the family disputes whether or not he had a weapon. they said he had a sandwich in his hand, and it was mistaken for a gun. again, the police department cannot earn the benefit of the doubt because they have acted with such alarming disregard for black life and disrespect for young people. obviously there are legitimate threats to police officers and they're prepared to respond. but again, here, we don't have the facts so how can the police chief be so confident in his conclusions without a full investigation? they put the man on paid leave right now. they say an investigation will occur.

joining me now is professor of law of georgetown university, paul butler.ing me. what is the likelihood in your mind that a new grand jury is going have to be empanelled? >> so there are two clear choices and one is that they can start the whole process over again and the other is that they can kick this guy off the grand jury. grand juries is a majority vote. all they need is nine votes for an indictment and officer wilson might be on his way to prison. >> how frequent does this happen, paul? given in the age of social media and constant communication, one has to think that it's really hard to hold a secret grand jury especially for an extended period of time in such a high-profile case. >> grand jurors tend to take their responsibilities very seriously and they are told this is totally confidential and an investigation of someone who we presume is innocent and you can go to prison if you violate the oath of confidentiality. how ironic would it be if the criminal case that comes out of ferguson is one of the grand jurors who is supposed to be doing the the

undergraduate degree from marquette university which is a very wise choice and his jd degree from the georgetown university law center. i would ask all of you to limit your opening remarks to five minutes. i think you're all aware of what red, yellow and green means and the timer before you. and even though i introduced you second, the prosecution always puts their case in first. so mr. heck, the floor is yours. >> good morning, mr. chairman. members of the task force. thank you very much. i appreciate your comment about marquette. okay? thank you. again, good morning. i appreciate your comments about marquette university. and i know it's very dear to your heart. in addition to being the prosecuting attorney for montgomery county, dayton ohio i am honored to be the chair of the criminal justice section of the american bar association which is a section of about 20,000 members which include the whole array of the partners of the criminal justice section and the criminal justice process in the american system. and that is judges, defense lawyers, prosecutors, law professors and other law enforcement personne

tonight on the rapid response panel angela ryan, political strategist and michael eric dyson and georgetown university. dyson, your response to this story, the comments by laura ingram. well, i think laura ingram is repeating that suggests that black people are on a plantation and that the democrats have got us slavishly following them and as a result of that black people who are democrat can't think for themselves because to think for themselves would be to, what? go into the arms of the republicans? i think that would be an even greater, if you will, enslavement for so many african-american people, two ideologies that have been counterproductive to our huft rye, but i must say i'll give rand paul credit for rethinking the issue of the relationship between black people and the republican party. he's talking about poverty, he's talking about unemployment and he's talking about crime reduction and reform and talking about educational reform and we can't beat him up on the one hand and say you have to say something and when they do, throw them away, we have to challenge them to speak up about the issues

very nice to be here at georgetown university.am honored to be hosted by one of the finest schools of foreign service. i look at your mission statement and correct me if i get that wrong, the mission is to contribute to global peace, prosperity and human well-being by educating future generations of world leaders. the founders of the school back in a year that is very famous for me, 1789, the founders of the schools had an ambitious and sustainable vision. inspired by some of the writers happened in france around the field, but i am sure they have no idea that only 70 years ago in 1944, the institutions including the i m f would be founded with pretty much the same purpose and the same mission, using different means and the focus of the institution is education, our focus is stability around the world using all means that were then available land reached i will tell you later on have evolved over time so we are in the same boat and as i look at the gray and blue colors of georgetown university, that adorn the beautiful capital and
