elba plays john luther. >> you rang my lord? >> joe, yes? >> you know who i am. >> come with me please. >> who are you again? police. >> which police. >> the police. >> a one night special this thursday thursday. you are a busy man. you have a tv mini series. you started a clothing line. you are voicing video games. atop of all of that you are a d.j. and you opened for madonna recently. >> yeah. i'm busy. i can't sleep so i work hard. >> it's interesting when we both heard you were coming well-being one of the first things we said is we love everything this guy how do you find the energy to balance it all? >> it's a great question and i'm not sure. i think it'ses easier as you get older. and i've been very fortunate. some of my early roles have been really good. good writers and directing is and so on and so forth. and that's been part of my mantra for moving forward. >> going back to luther after fw years away. that is a really special part. and you seem to have a knack for finding good parts. >> i don't know. i think they find me. i think

but john luther is something that i could see happening. >> i want to ask about beast of no nation. sour scary good. you are father, manipulator, you were everything in this movie. >> what are we to be doing with this thing? >> this thing? it is just a boy. >> a boy. a boy is harmless. dawes boy have two eyes to see. >> two eyes see. >> why are you saying a boy is nothing? a boy is very very dangerous. do you understand me. >> the film is how they recruit kids to become soldiers in africa. and you see they are so young. with that is character hard to play? >> definitely. you know, being a dad and, you know, being a family. having to realize that actually there are people out there that prey on kids like that. take them away and turn them into monsters like that. that is an absolute reality. so it was a struggle to digest that. but it was an important film for me. one of the most important because it highlights an epidemic that still happens to this day and it is actually some of the fuel of terrorism that they can convince young people know what they are fighting for. >> you shot th

died four years ago as the director points out the death was similar to the passing of john lennon or martin luther king. >> why with we weeping for steve jobs? >> reporter: dan simon, cnn, san francisco. >> and the cnn film "steve jobs, the man the machine a" area thi sunday night and tomorrow be sure to ring in the new year with those two crazy folks, anderson cooper and kathy griffin. and thanks so much for joining. happy new year, ""ac 360" "begins right now. >>> good evening. i'm jim sciutto in for anderson. we begin tonight with breaking news. as the year ends, a terror threat looms. top u.s. security officials bereav briefed president obama about possible attacks here in the u.s. on three cities, new york, washington and los angeles. we should point out officials say the threat is uncorroborated at this point based on a single source it does not mention specific locations in those cities, however, with new years eve just a day a way with the big crowds that gather to celebrate it, and given the global concern about the capabilities of both isis and al qaeda, officials are taking this threat

york city government closed for the death of franklin roosevelt, for the death of john kennedy, robert king, butartin lutherid not close for the death of ronald reagan. brian: why not? craig: it betrays a political bias. there's no other reason why, really. brian: what did you do to approach this book? craig: i tried to construct a story line. i had a big white grease board. i constructed narrative with titles and subtitles, and it all kind of falls into place. i wrote in the book as many as a half-dozen times, for news reports, then second, based on a library material, then third, based on first-hand interviews, fourth, based on other documents based on other sources. i usually write a book four or five or six times. i do not write a book once. withp backfilling interesting anecdotes and notes and things like that. brian: in the back of the book, in the notes, there are interviews with several people, including fred ryan and a gentle man named jim holy? craig: yes. brian: he seems to get a lot of attention in this book, why? craig: my books, some historians write from 10,000 feet. i write from ground level

john: you draw a distinction private violence versus state violence. >> they were very clear that private violence is the reaction to political violence. what martin lutherluminaries explained was we are not going to achieve political rights through violence. we'll not have a revolution. john: but violence is fine against the klu klux klan or private people attacking. >> it's response to an imminent threat. in the next 60 seconds if something happens to you the state is irrelevant. our laws of self defense says you can respond in kind with violence when you are facing imminent threats. john: the young country passed gun control laws. in virginia it barred clubs, guns or swords to slaves or free blacks. >> most of the gun control we are familiar with was focused on blacks or those outside with you primarily black. even martin luther king was denied a permit to carry a pistol and his begun after a bombing at his home because he didn't show quote good cause. john: . sometimes private tyrants who were owners of plantations would make as a condition of employment and living in the area, this requirement that blacks give up any firearms and they not own firear

we lost to martin luther king, bobby kennedy, john kennedy, malcolm x.. there was a yearning for a new leader to take control. there were a lot of people who size him up as a charlatan right away. if you read his correspondence, and one point he is endorsing nixon. when he came to san francisco he was courting liberals. i don't think most of the people in his movement were cynical. i think you were responding to real needs. it does feel very warm and embracing. it is taking care of the basic human needs. the basic human needs that society should take care of. to this day, our society does not take care of these needs. so i totally understand what the attraction was. being in environments that took care of basic needs. that there was a corruption that set in at the top. whether jim was getting into drugs too much. he saw the drugs becoming a bigger and bigger influence on his father. by the time he got here to san francisco, there was a bubble mentality. a fortress mentality. there were gay activists to work closely with harvey milk. harvey was cynically u

second, thanks to religious leaders from john rankin to martin luther king, we freely exercise civil rights today that were once denied to millions of americans. and third, by virtue of religious teachings on charity, we have a humanitarian sector that is unparalleled in its ability to respond to crisis, bless the poor and lift the needy. but my purpose in speaking today is not merely to recite a list of blessings brought about by religious liberty. religion is not simply beneficial to society. it is an indispensable feature of any free government. without religion, liberty itself would be in danger and democracy would devolve into despotism. the nexus between religion and democracy involves the relationship between morality and freedom. freedom is a double-edged sword. it can be used for good or for evil. statesmen may use freedom to defend justice, but tie -- tyrants can abuse it for their own corrupt ends. morality is necessary to ensure that individuals that exercise their freedom responsibly. religion provides free individuals with the moral education necessary to exercise freed

john lewis. diane gnash, andrew young, fred shuttlesworth, dr. martin luther king, jr., the idea of a just america and a fair america: an inclusive america and a generous america. that idea ultimately triumphed. now, as is true across the landscape of american history, we cannot examine this moment in isolation. it's part of a campaign that scanned generations. it's a long line of heroes. we're here to celebrate them. the courage of ordinary americans willing to endure billy clubs and the chasting rod. men and women who december piet the gust of blood and splintered bone would stay true and keep marching towards justice. rejoice and hope. be patient in tribulation. be constant in prayer. but in the days to come, they went back again and again when the trumpet call sounded for more to join, the people came. black and white, young and old. a white newsman, bill plant who covered the marches then to those who marched, though, to those gospel songs must have never sounded so sweet. in full-time, their choralous would well up and reach president johnson. he would s

john f. kennedy. also on board will be another widow, mrs. martin luther king jr.to be sending a great many of our young leaders to their early graves. >> it's been a very emotional period for all of us who have worked for the senator. and personally, the most horrifying thing in these last few days was this morning, when i tacked this black ribbon on to my campaign button, because now i'm lost. i'm desperate. and i don't know where we're going from here. >> when senator kennedy went down, he was trying to speak for those americans, including the young, who feel a need to change many aspects of american life. well, that cause has not been still forever, because even without him, the changes will be made, because they have to be. but nobody knows when, nor how, nor whether the changes will be made peacefully or violently. >> in the meantime, this country has lost another leader. as far as i'm concerned, has lost the only leader that i feel gives us any hope for the future. i mean, what happens to the country? i mean, you wonder if it's worth saving, you know? what i

john lewis. from the back are the room he said do not laugh, there is a comic book during the and it was called martin luther king in the montgomery story. it was 16 pages from cover to cover. i do not know much about it at the time, but was was he told me i looked i read it, i was about the montgomery bus boycotts, and introduction to gandhi, it struck me, here i was a lifelong comic fan, fan, i've been reading comics since i was five years old. truth be told, i would start reading comics after my dad left because it was a refuge, it was a place to read stories about justice about role models and heroes who do the right thing because it's the right thing to do. having done that read that my whole life and seen john lewis and seen that a comic book had played a meaningful role in civil rights movement i couldn't help myself. here's a man who had been a part of almost every seminal moment of the silver rights movement. he sat in at nashville, he had been a freedom writer. he helped lead the march on washington. he let the march on blood is sunday. as 24 years old, i did not, did not know any better. i started

when martin luther king was assassinated in 1968, there were not riots in the streets of new york as there were in other heartbroken places in america. john lindsey walked out with his coat over his shoulder and walked into the neighborhoods of harlem and said this was a terrible tragedy. we understand it. we have to address this. it meant something. new york did not go up in flames. ernie: as you pointed out, the city was really emerging. it was coming into its own after all this time and what it would become. talk about pop culture and everything else. it's -- there's so much i love to talk to you about. i want you to come back and talk more about it. congratulations all the great work you do. >> we're going to continue our series, new york through the years. we'll take you through the '80s boom. you'll see the city's massive transformation into the tourist destination it is today. first, what's the question? here it is. if money was no object, i would buy myself what? how would you treat yourself? we'll see what people said in just a few minutes. and russ is next with trades for the mets and yankees. when a moment spontaneously turns r

detective police, lieutenant luther baker and colonel everton conger, accompany 26 members of the 16th new york cavalry under the command of lieutenant edward doherty. johnoth: our cause being almost lost, something decisive and great must be done. i struck boldly and not as the papers say. i shouted "sic semper" before i fired. in jumping, broke my leg. this night, before the deed, i wrote a long articlend left ie editors of the national intelligencer in which i fully set forth the reasons for our proceedings. he or the government. tom hanks: the first of booth's two journal entries ends there. he is interrupted by thomas jones, samuel cox's foster brother. cox has asked jones to see to it that booth gets across the potomac to virginia. in spite of the $100,000 bounty being offered, jones keeps booth and herold hidden and fed while government troops occupy and sweep through the region. later, jones will claim that booth's singular desire was for newspapers. so it is here, in the pine thicket, that booth reads the horrific accounts, the lurid details, and bloody result of lewis powell's attack on secretary of state william seward. fanny seward: [screams]
