when you have the opportunity to sit down with an iconic finger -- figure like john lewis, who because of the tyranny of the majority, meaning we do not get a chance to vote him in him and vote, on the issue of gun control, you know everything that has gone on most recently in texas since then and still not even the opportunity to for failure constitutional responsibility to vote, that is the real tragedy going on here. whether or not you agree with universal background checks, 74% of the nra agrees with, about 94% of the country agrees with, not to be able to ever bring on the floor of the house of representatives, they at least voted on it in the senate after sandy, although it was not the bill, which is a whole other area for discussion. suffice it to say you will see efforts to call upon people and say the american people should not he denied a petition for at least an up or down vote on the issue of universal background checks on guns. it was an extraordinary measure you should only use and we talked it over with paul ryan after, they called -- he called john lewis and me into his

board, offering the invocation to the march on washington alongside john lewis and dr. king, and encouraging the attendance and supportive of local parishes in the march. less well-known is a a gatherig that he helped to convene here at georgetown in april 1964 in support of the civil rights act in his role as chairman of the interreligious committee on race relations, he hosted and interreligious event here on campus attended by 6500 people, protestant, catholic and jewish faith in his opening comments he reflected quote, we are here tonight to speak with one voice, are deep religious convictions about the dignity of man and the rights of all men but our congress considers in terms of public policy, we uphold in terms of human dignity, closed quote. and he concluded the gathering by saying quote, this assembly is but a beginning. we have embarked on a crusade that one of the individual every american is given equal right, equal opportunities, and full recognition of her or his human dignity. in these words, cardinal o'boyle should recall remain as urgent today as it wa

somebody that vernon and john lewis could talk to. columbus was not more lost when he set sail for the west than i was when i went into these tiny little counties, looking for the next martin luther king. and all the preachers through me threw me out, instantly. so did the school principals, and especially the funeral-parlor directors, who gave me lectures about how they had things very well under control. then i went out into the juke joints, thinking i could recruit the rebels, the stokely carmichael's, the black power types, who didn't exist in places like bubba doo's big apple, where i was arrested for being on the wrong side of town. i was lost in it to me about a month before started talking to women, which i never would have done at the beginning. you go through your preconceptions at the time and that was difficult until one day i was recommended, that this old, the culture and 1800s person, i matriarch in this tiny county in georgia. if anybody know anybody that was brave enough to be interested in this voting stuff, it would

the great thing about im, i think john lewis would say he could grow. he was a white guy born to privilege but yet he kept exposing himself to horrors people lived with happen his administrative assistant had his head bashed in trying to help out the freedom riders in '61 and then bring in federal troops for ole miss. he didn't want to bring in federal troops. the hatred in the deep south was so severe. he had to knock george wallace out of the way. all the time learning about this racial hatred in this country. and then that famous meeting in new york where they hit him for three hours. >> a volatile meeting from what i heard. people don't know. he best of built the restoration program in bed-stuy. not only did he grow, he wanted to grow. i don't know anyone who knows american politics better than you. he came from a wealthy family. what was the difference in quality between a robert kennedy and the wealthy politicians like donald trump we see today. he was part of the 1%, but he had a desire to learn and grow and be about an america that protected the

birmingham, alabama, where the gathering of kivel rights leaders, kline choo, including our own john lewis had meetings that took place in the 1960's. as well as confederate sites. i grew up in selma where we have a very complicated history of not only civil rights but also civil war. that history lives side by side in many parts of the south. rull -- all of our communities can benefit from historic tax credits because it's really about the preservation of the american experience and every district has a story to that he will is uniquely american that has builtings that would qualify. >> dr. davis, you're recognized to speak on the amendment. >> thank you, mr. chairman, and as we've already heard this country is replete with structures, buildings that are not just buildings but they really speak to the history and development of this country. heard john lewis mention rosenwal, a man who lived in my community but who developed more than 500 schools in the rural south for african-american communities who at that time did not have a school. my district has more frank lloyd wright buildings in

but the love john lewis showed on the bridge that day is a love willing to risk. the bridge to a new america means those of us who believe in more same tonight, we have to be up able to say where are we going to risk our presence, our privilege and wealth and time, our faith in the middle of transforming the systems about policing and healthcare and mass incarceration. when i talk to the young kids the question i always hear back, not, do you believe what were trying to do, but what risks are you willing to take? what is the risk we are willing to take, will relive an act we have to be willing to take some risks to make the changes that we say we believe in. we have the 50th anniversary going back up the bridge and you are just walking with wheelchairs and walkers and all the foot soldiers were there. what struck me was the risk all these foot soldiers took to make voting rights possible. it happened because of the risk you took. >> one of the dues that i was supposed to tell the people watching on live streaming on how to join our conversation and you can join th

i heard john lewis mention rosen wa lmp d, a man who lived in my community but who developed more than 500 schools in the rural south for african-american communities who at that time did not have a school. my district has more flank lloyd wright buildings in it than any other place in the world. also has the tremendous bronze field where african-american entertainers and actors, joe lewis, and others, lived during the 1930's, 1940's and 1950's. plus we have structures in downtown chicago that was there when the chicago fire took place. they survived. o it's not just a matter of re constructing. these buildings have reached object solens and unless there is an infusion of capital, local developers, local governments cannot do it alone. fill and throw pifts cannot do it alone. so we need the faith and credit of our country to stand behind. so i'm pleased to join with representative sewell and the others who have spoken in favor of the retention of these credits, because they, indeed, would be a credit to america. and i yield back. mr. brady: the gentleman yields back. we will recess the

senator mccain joins a long list of previous medal winners, from civil rights icon and congressman john lewisama, pakistani student activist malala yousafzai, and hillary clinton. in the next half-hour, we will learn a lot about senator mccain's upbringing, what makes people call him a true american hero and a statesman of the senate. the medal itself will be presented by former vice president and national constitution center chairman joe biden. the 2017 liberty medal ceremony begins when we come right back.

it's a bridge where folks like john lewis almost lost hire lives trying to secure freedom. the bridge called the pettis bridge having african american president decided by the people of america is the most powerful sign, significant sign of progress in this nation. there is an opportunity for us to understand and appreciate the provocative nature of race in that nation by looking at the symbols of hate and symbols of progress. we can do both. the question will be how states make that decision. >> dickerson: do you believe those statues are symbols of hate? >> obviously believe that the pettis bridge certainly was place where hate was carried out in very violent way. the beauty of coming back 50 years later and co-leading a group of congress members to the bridge and having the president stand below it is that, that is a great picture of progress in this nation. i can't say that's true for all statues but i certainly believe that when we have history, you can't sanitize his torso what i'm trying to say the reality of it is having the pettis bridge there still named that is a

it can mean you pay a lot more for it whereas you might pay £644 for a washing machine from john lewisll investments but still controversial. looking at the wider picture, clearly most of the people we're talking about in the documents are extraordinarily wealthy, so why does this matter to ordinary individuals who can't even begin to imagine these sums? ordinary people, even well—paid bbc people like you and i can well—paid bbc people like you and i ca n co nve rt well—paid bbc people like you and i can convert money in the offshore trusts. you need a lot to make it worthwhile, you need a law firm to make sure it is legally watertight. a lawsuit firm like appleby, where these documents have come from —— a law firm. corporations can take advantage of their familiarity with the legal structures to cut their tax bill and enjoy looser regulation. not for the likes of you and i. if tax is cut for some people it implies that it is going to be higherfor others. it implies that it is going to be higher for others. exactly, this is why it is in public interest because in times of austerity, if

john lewis says its new cheltenham store will have a hoist and adult sized bench and it's assessing whethernly around 1,000 so—called changing places toilets and in major supermarkets just nine across the whole of the uk. 0ne business, though, is bucking the trend. the main reason given by retailers for not having more of these toilets in their stores is space. this is around 12 metres squared and money, it costs around £11,000 to £1a,000 to fit one of these changing places toilets. yet ikea has managed to put these into most of their stores without any fuss and without really having to. the law needs to change. it's like a dog with no teeth. samantha and her 11—year—old son alfie live in more sham. samantha and her 11—year—old son alfie live in horsham. christmas shopping has to be carefully planned. the council run toilet isn't fit for his needs. there's barely enough room for his chair and me without getting him out of the wheelchair and laying him on the floor. instead samantha has to get alfie back in the car and drive to their nearest suitable toilet. for many people, that is miles aw

now, it's a time of year many of us look forward to — the launch of the annual john lewis christmas ads kept awake by a monster who lives under his bed. it features a cover of the beatles song golden slumbers by elbow. the campaign follows the release of other big—budget ads from marks and spencer, argos and debenhams. wasn't that a treat? the headlines on bbc news: the eu's chief brexit negotiator michel barnier says the uk has two weeks to clarify how it will settle the so—called "divorce bill" — if trade talks are to begin next month. wales's first minister carwynjones has asked for an independent inquiry into how he handled allegations about carl sargea nt, who died earlier this week. a mother and father are fighting a high court battle to stop their eight—month—old son's life support machine being switched off. now it's time for newswatch. this week samira ahmed hears viewers' comments on the paradise papers. hello and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. a huge leak of financial documents dominated bbc news at the start of this week. did they deserve all that attention, or

he's been campaigning with reverend barber had an event here last week and john lewis has been campaigning with him around the state. he is making efforts now but he also has to try to bring republican voters over and looking back at the 2012 numbers, what's particularly interesting is that even in etowah county, he vastly underformed mitt romney. when you do say, oh, these rumors have been around for a while, the people that knew him best, his home county, rejected him more than they rejected the top of the ticket. >> so interesting if you think about whether -- if this was luther strange running, it just wouldn't even be a contest given that luther strange was much more moderate and not quite as divisive and also hasn't been accused of touching a 14-year-old inappropriately when he was in his 30s. >> i think if doug jones had not initially come out and taken a publicly pro choice stance, it wouldn't be a contest either. >> that is what is just killing him in alabama. >> thank you john and david. appreciate having you. we'll see you soon. >>> meanwhile, actress uma thurman is no longer si

let's see what the likes of john lewis and other african-american leaders. what happens on sunday in the african-american churches? can they get the black vote out and energize the black vote to get behind doug jones to what david's talking about where doug jones potentially wins outright. >> let me get jeffrey toobin back in here. where does this go legally? you heard the lawyer of judge moore to challenge gloria allred to release that yearbook. what's going to happen? >> the most -- this is a political process, not a legal process. there is not going to be some judge that appears on the scene to determine whether this year book was in fact roy moore's handwriting. the -- obviously moore's team feels like by raising the issue of this -- the signature they are challenging the of one of the five accusers. and it's only one. so, you know, there will be discussion of this, but there will be no judge, there will be no lawsuit, there will be no final resolution of whether this signature was in fact roy moore's. the real issue here is political. will there be a wr

but the love that john lewis showed on the bridge that day was a love that was willing to risk.often do not put the risk for love. in our church tradition, it is love to risk and suffer. when we particularly are talking about a bridge to a new america, i think it means that those who believe in what we are saying tonight, have to be willing to say -- where are we going to risk our presence? our privilege? our wealth, our time, our bodies, our faith? in the middle of transforming the systems about policing and health care and mass incarceration. when i talk to the young kids in the street, that is a question i always hear back from there. not -- do you believe in what we are trying to do question mark but what risk are you willing to take. that is a question we have to be willing to take. act, in live, where we the coffee shops, in the streets. it will really take some risks to make the changes that we believe in. ,e had this 50th anniversary going back up the bridge and their you all were. thewere all walking with wheelchairs and walkers. all of the foot soldiers were there. wha
