. >>> have chris and gwen reached their end?he never ending saga of the ending of chris and gwen saga seems to maybe have possibly reached an ending. the two participated in the separation ceremony last week while on vacation in the bahamas. the ceremony which occurred during their break up moon involved reading from the book of zohar and lighting a fire and tossing pebbles representing their wandering spirit into the sea. they kissed and beheaded a native man and drank his blood. which i endorsed. george, so they say they want to make it easier for the kids to transition into an easier life. how can they say that when they named their kid apple? >> i agree with you. i will go to just find the rock they tossed. >> you can get big money for that. >> for sure, to question about it. gweny, i love gweny. i really do. i don't understand why everyone is getting on on top of gwen thet. >> well apparently her husband is not anymore. >> the problem is somebody else was. >> you know what it is 1234 you know what changed gwenyth paltrow? t

>> gwen, he wins. he wins. what i hope happens, though, is from here, you know, i was at the press conference and there is sort of a sense that, okay, we took this guy, flogged him and the wicked witch of racism is dead. this is far more pervasive than this. this is more than about donald sterling, it's about institutional racism throughout the nba and nfl. when you go through an nba or nfl franchise, i've invited the players to do that, they would be stunned when they go to visit all parts of the department -- marketing, legal, the executive suite -- and find out how few black people there are. so, yes, donald sterling articulated something he didn't want black people around, but people can make that same statement without being clumsy like he was and make a statement in terms of who they don't hire, who they don't have around. so i don't want this -- the problem with this is that, you know, it's over -- you know how we do with race, we make a big deal out of it and now we go to the playoffs and the championsh

>> warner: they honestly don't know, gwen. i talked to officials late this afternoon, they say we don't know. the glimmer of hope is about as far as president obama went. there were a couple of things that i think were noteworthy. one, it makes no mention of russia drawing back the 40,000 troops they have amassed on the border. that was one of the things secretary kerry was going in there to talk about, or at least that's what we were told. the conversation i referred to in the taped piece and i followed up further, which is one of heads or armed groups taken over that building he told rueters and me through a translator, well, let's -- if all illegal occupations have to end let's clear independent square in kiev where the original revolution demonstrations took place this winter and protesters still remain trying to keep the new government honest. i when i followed up with a question about well, were you reassured at least that in this agreement it talks about constitutional reforms or protect the rights of minorities, he sai
