the king has no political power but is greatly admired. prime minister yingluck has avoided further bloodshed in the days leading up to the king's birthday. on tuesday she made a televised speech to call for unity, but protesters have not called for an end to the influence of her older brother and prime minister thaksin shinawatra. he was ousted in a coup in 2006 and has been living in self imposed exile. they've said they will resume their demonstrations after the king's birthday. the king is scheduled to address the people of thailand on his birthday. he's previously mediated conflicts in times of political tension. people are focusing on what message he will deliver this time to the two groups that have divided the country for nearly ten years. and that's all from bangkok. >>> india, a country of contrasts. more than 1.2 billion people live in the world's largest democracy, but they are divided over issues of culture, religion, and gender. investors from overseas see opportunities among the growing middle class, but millions live in pov

king has been repackaged by everybody, how do we go about reclaiming the genuine? first of all, i do believe that personal stories are the key to that. if you reduce somebody just to a concept or an idea or a label, then it can be refuted with another label. and you can have ralph reid, like he did the other day, say that dr. king's whole career was about saying that it's only the content of your character and that it was a movement about families and not about politics and public change when anybody who's studied martin luther king's career for five minutes knows that i have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its greed delivered on, you know, on the mall. he came to the mall to do that. this is about our public purpose. so to say that, you know, that he's, that he's an anti-government person too, um, is preposterous. but that's what happens when you -- we and they reduce everything to sound bites. the stories are key. you have to pick the right stories that people relate to. one of the reasons that i was obsessed to try

belafonte,is harry maxine waters and larry king. thank you for joining me on my tribute to nelson mandela, starting now. >> there is a saying dr. king said, there is always the right time to do the right thing. i try to live my life doing the right thing. we are halfway to completely eliminate hunger and we have a lot of work to do. spending over $1 billion to fight hunger in the u.s.. if we were together we can stamp this out. >> and by contributions to your pbs stations, from viewers like you. thank you. ♪ tavis: please to be joined now by harry belafonte, a longtime friend of president and della. an advocate for justice and equality in his own right. i met with him in new york city to talk about nelson mandela's great contributions to the world. envious and jealous of you for so many reasons, not the least of which is that handsome visage i am looking at right now, but you have had a chance to befriend everybody, duboise, martin luther king, paul robeson, nelson mandela. out of all the people you have been friends with and strugg

alveda king, dr. king's niece. thank you for joining me. >> hello, and merry christmas everyone. >> thank you. and merry christmas to you. you actually met nelson mandela in 1990, not long after he was released from the 27-year time in prison. what was your initial impression as you met this man we now see as one of the great leaders of the world? >> as one who has been involved in the struggle for freedom all of my life, actually, coming out of my own family, to meet president mandela, it was a humbling experience. i was very aware of this early years when he was warrior, and he thought that fighting was the way to do it, physical fighting, human combat, and yet he was humbled in prison over all of those years, and you can see that humility, and that was a certain grace, and most of the time when you see his picture, that same smile, that gentle smile was there. so for me it was a humbling experience. i had the opportunity to go to south africa myself a few years later and see the aftermath of apartheid and all of

the king has no formal political role. do you think he can play a role in solving the current crisis. >> people are hoping that he will. it's a constitutional monarchy. in the past he acted and spoke in ways that the entire nation follows, and it's a stabilizing force for many, a unifying force. he traditionally gives a speech on his birthday. tomorrow is his 86th birthday. he's down in a beach resort, recovering from ill health, along with the queen. they are expected to come out tomorrow. he will address the nation on a televised broadcast giving a speech. people will be hanging on every word to see if he gives any indication as to how the protest should be handled, if at all. >> does he have anything to say on the situation? >> anything he says will be interpreted and listened to closely. if he doesn't speak directly about it. we have the statement in 2006, which she was very clear. in 2006 we had a similar problem. protests against prime minister thaksin shinawatra, the older brother of the current prime minister yingl

the king uses these to call for stability but made no direct reference to the prices that has divided the nation. what does this tell us about his willingness to intervene and perhaps help defuse the crisis this time a speech became cold on tight people to support each other. now he's the world's longest living raining mart monica's roll tide and fall sixty seven years he made quite a short speech it was just six minutes from the skywest in the coastal resort of hua hin about a hundred km south of bangkok not keeping the ball often makes calls for national unity in thailand but you say to daddy he didn't make any direct reference to the current political problems to what he did say was this he said. thai people should do that cutesy for the stability and security of the country. now that's being seen as a coal for people to try to resolve the current crisis protest leaders have called for the government to beat his old and the king to step in and appoint a new prime minister. the current administration says that's impossible. on the title all the awesome precedents mccain has endorsed

king, who when hi uncle, martin luther king jr.illed, i wanted to hate somebody and strike out at somebody. he said you case hate white people, you can't hate any people, it's the devil and we have to fight the devil. martin luther king jr. always said i will not stoop so low that men will cause me to hate other men. i was brought up to know that love -- and i believe that nelson mandela acquired that understanding, and that's why maybe you could see the wrinkles on his face, and 95 years is a long time to live, i believe that he was tempered in the fire, and that with the strength and with the fire, and the fight that was in him, it was tempered by humility and i believe a level and a pressure of understanding and love. and that's why he began to be a voice for peace. >> he certainly was, thank you so much for being here, dr. king, and we appreciate your perspective having met nelson mandela. i think we're all aware that over the next few days we will hear a lot about nelsonm mandel. i hope that our american politicians will be li
