(opera singing) >> brown: in years ago marking the dance's 25th 25th anniversary, "new york times" critic alice tear macaulay noted it seemed a master piece in its opening season. 25 years on, it's also a classic. but says mark morris now, it wasn't easy. >> i have been probably fun during the rehearsal process than during this one. >> brown: you've been more fun? >> i've been more fun. i freaked out. >>

jeffrey brown is back with the story, the last from his recent trip to the west african country of mali, and part of his ongoing series, culture at risk. ♪ ♪ >> brown: the song is titled "so long: the past." the singer on the edge of the river in mali is known as the golden voice of africa. ♪ ♪ one of the most famous musicians on the continent, a giant on the world music scene but it's easy to see what sets him apart here. he's an albino one who began life as a pariah but refused to be kept down. when you were young, you were outcast. >> yes. >> brown: but now you're perhaps the most famous person in mali. >> yes. if i was black, maybe i couldn't have this opportunity to be popular in the world. >> brown: he was born with the hereditary condition that depiefs a person's skin, hair and eyes of pigmentation. it left her nearly blind. he was ostracized by his village, even his own family as is common in africa. >> if your mother is blond your father is blond, you can be white. >> brown: with few opportunities, he turned to what he calls a god-given talent, music. >> music for me is my life

jeffrey brown explains. >> brown: at 96, lawrence ferlinghetti, poet, painter and publisher, is stillred as a cultural treasure in the san francisco bay area. >> how are you? i brought you some flowers. >> brown: a recent opening for a retrospective exhibition of his artwork at the marine museum of contemporary art drew a large crowd. >> you really true are a legend of the bay area. >> brown: ferlinghetti once wrote, "all i ever wanted to do is paint light on the walls of life." that he's done, here in poetry. >> the changing light in san francisco is a sea light, an island light, and the light of fog blanketing the hills, drifting in at night, through the golden gate to lie on the city at dawn. >> brown: when ferlinghetti first arrived in san francisco from new york in 1951, he celtled into a $65 a month apartment in the italian working-class neighborhood of north beach. >> it was still the last frontier when i arrived in 1951. you could come here and start anything you wanted because in new york city it would have been impossible to start a bookstore unless you had lots of money. >>

jeffrey brown is back with that. >> brown: 62 million: that's the number of girls around the world who do not attend school, according to president and mrs. obama who today announced a new u.s. government effort to help. it builds on a program called "let girls learn". and increases the training received by peace corps volunteers and supports local initiatives aimed at educating girls, beginning first in 11 countries, mostly in africa and asia and eventually phased in globally. peace corps director carrie hessler-radelet joins us now. welcome to you. >> thank you. >> brown: are the biggest barriers here physical or cultural? >> there are many different kinds of barriers. it could be physical. it might be that there is not a school for ten or 15 miles. it may be unsafe for a girl to walk to and fro. it may be cultural. perhaps a girl's education is not valued because the family does not seen an economic return. it could be that girls are greg married too early and once they're married it's not considered proper to attend school or it could be economic. they can't afford school fees or b

jeffrey brown spoke after scott kelly lifted off on friday with a former astronaut, chris hadfield, whose the space station lasted five months. >> brown: chris hadfield welcome to you. the twin study is especially interesting this time, right the research on the two brothers, scott and mark kelly, one in space, one on the ground. what kinds overthings are being looked at? >> sounds like science fiction to have an identical twin on a space ship and another one on the ground. it's just luck but, boy, it sure provides some interesting medical and scientific opportunity. you take two people that are as identical as they can be you put them in wildly different environments, one of them that is really brand-new for humanity, living in weightlessness off the planet then you watch how they change over a year. you measure all of subtle things -- bone density, psychology, vision, blood pressure, liver function everything -- and it is really going to help us not only understand space flight for long-term flight for going from here to the moon and mars and beyond, but also just understand the effects

jeffrey brown looks at the effort to preserve ancient archaeological sites in northern peru against thetive power of el nino. it's part of his ongoing series, "culture at risk." >> brown: it looks like a giant sand castle. it's walls and towers slowly being reclaimed by the earth. this is the ancient city, nine square miles wide, once the largest in the americas and the largest adobe city in the world. it served as the center of political, legislative and religious life for the chimu people who ruled this region from the ninth century till the late 1400s when they were conquered by the incas. here you get a hint of the splendor before and after restoration of palace ceremonial halls, all of it in one of the driest regions on the planet. >> this is much more desert than south america. no rain for 15 years, then one day, boom. >> booming, rushing, flooding. these images from february 1998 show the impact of the weather phenomenon known as el niÑo at its worst, drenching the region destroying homes, bridges and endangering the lives of those who live nearby, as wells the thousands of arche

jeffrey brown has more, our latest conversation from "the newshour bookshelf." >> brown: up and down the court, a drive to the hoop, a fast break in the other direction. middle school boys and basketball, and, well, why not poetry? they come together in "the crossover," a novel in verse about twin brothers obsessed with basketball. it's won this year's newbery medal. >> josh bell is my name but mr. mcnasty is my claim to fame, folks call me that because my game is so downright dirty it will put you to shame. >> brown: its author is 46-year-old poet writer and literary activist kwame alexander. at the st. stephens and st. agnes school near his home in northern virginia, he told us of his own obsession, introducing boys to the joys of reading. >> we want to reach all kids, librarians and teachers. but we often hear that boys are reluctant readers. i don't believe they have anything that's relatable. basketball gets them hooked. once you get them hooked, family, love, friendship brotherhood, you know, jealousy, all the things that girls are interested in, all the things that we're inter

jeffrey brown has that story from our latest addition to the newshour bookshelf. >> brown: it was onee worst maritime disasters in history. the sinking of the british passenger ship, "lusitania" by a german submarine, on may 7, 1915. nearly 1,200 people, including 123 americans, were killed. it's a story of legendary proportions, but also one with a number of mysteries at its core. and it's told in the new book, "dead wake." author erik larson, whose previous best-sellers include "the devil in the white city" joins me now. unlike some of these other of your pases works this one more well-known more well-- why did you want to come into it? >> at first i was a little put off by the fact that it was so well-known and so well trod. but what i realized as i started doing some exploratory research was that there was an opportunity here i felt to bring something to the party that hadn't necessarily been brought before. i saw it as cuz there is so much fantastic archiveality material that it seemed to offer an opportunity for me to put on my-- alfred hitchcock hat and really make it kind of a

jeffrey brown takes a look. >> brown: where did you go to college? and more to the point, for many young people now awaiting decision, where do you hope to go and how much do you have riding on it? a new book entitled: "where you'll go is not who you'll be," proposes the whole college admissions project is out of whack and even that rejection is a wonderful thing. its author is "new york times" columnist frank bruni, who, for the record attended the university of north carolina. so madness, nonsense, those are just some of the words you use for what you see as a broken system. what's the brunt of the argument? what happened to our system in. >> what happened to our system is we became brand obsessedment we became convinced or parents did that if their kids didn't get into the right colleges they wouldn't have as bright futures they wouldn't make as much money. we somehow bought that this moment in late march early april when you find out where you're going to go to school sets the whole trajectory for your life. and it's so untrue and it's the source

our pamela brown and jeffrey toobin are inside listening to those arguments as we speak. hopefully we'll hear from them shortly. >> new plans this morning could complicate things even more. let's bring in dana bash. what's the latest? >> one of the main reasons why benjamin netanyahu wanted to come to congress or more appropriately republicans wanted him to come was not just to make the case on an international stage and to try to hit at the administration but to try to convince lawmakers they should back an amendment or a bill to have a say in these talks. right now if there is a deal among the allies and the u.s. and iran, nuclear deal, congress doesn't have a say unless they insert themselves. what mitch mcconnell did while benjamin netanyahu was still in the building was try to fast track a piece of legislation which would give congress a say and basically if they passed it would say 60 days for congress to have hearings or approve or disapprove or let it go. it would give congress a potential say. this is a bipartisan idea. even still, democrats who are onboard and a

brown family. our senior legal analyst, jeffrey toobin antonio french and law enforcement analyst tom fuentes.rces. what are they telling you about this justice department report? >> wolf we expect this report will be made public tomorrow. the justice department met with officials from ferguson this afternoon to tell them what they are about to publish and really this portrays a department that has deep deep problems. i'll give you a few statistics from the report that is going to be revealed tomorrow. 85% of the vehicle stops from 2012 to 2014 the justice department took a look at their books. 85% were of african-americans. 93% of arrests were of african-americans. 90% of citations were of african-americans. again, going back to michael brown and the incident there, the killing of michael brown by a police officer, 88% of use of force the ferguson department use of force was against african-americans. you can see that what people were protesting there was something that there was a problem with the police department. >> the city itself ferguson about 67% african-american. the police force was

you believe believe that our jeffrey toobin had a prime seat in the court to hear those arguments. and our cnn justice correspondent pamela brown taking notes as well. pamela, i'll start with you for a blow-by-blow of what happened in those halls today. >> it was a sharply divided court along party lines. the liberal justices came out of the gate first off with some very tough questions for the plaintiff's attorney. and they focus a lot on the context of the law. as you just said, they kept honing in on this idea that it would be a death spiral if the subsidies were taken away from americans in those 34 states. justice kennedy really focused on the federalist argument. he seemed to be very concerned on how it would impact the states if the subsidies were taken away and whether the states knew at the time of making the decision of whether or not to have an exchange, knew that their citizens wouldn't get subsidies if there was a federal exchange. but justice roberts, chief justice roberts, ashleigh, intensingly enough didn't really say a whole lot in the courtroom today. all eyes were on him. he stunned conservatives when he uphe
