wouldn't exist if it weren't for luther. the methodist came about 200 years later. both john wesley and luther had similar experiences. wesley's heart was strangely warmed and through a lightning bolt. luther came to faith. and both of them were touched by romans. so, one of the differences, wesley said, by faith. and both basically said, by faith alone. by grace alone. but one of the differences, luther saying, sanctionification was big for him. the saving grace. wesley said, we're going on to perfection, so justification, turning around, and being in a relationship with jesus was big. so both of them are giants in the faith. >> that's great. i read his favorite holiday was christmas. >> yeah. >> and he preached 2,000 sermons on christmas in advent. >> there are some folks that trace the advent of the christmas tree to luther. >> that's right. >> his death bed quote is meaningful to me. he said as he was dying, we are all beggars. we all depend on the grace of god in ways we don't fully understand, which is true at thanksgi

still to come, luther's complaint nailed to the door.will look at that act of defiance of 500 years ago today. all right, now something that is very modern. it appears the european economy grew a little faster than expected. christoph: expanded by 0.6% but there is also promising move -- news from the labor department. unemployment fell to its lowest level in almost nine years. spain continued its long recovery. but large differences between the 19 countries sharing the common currency remain. reporter: the euro zone economy is bouncing back. most of the 19 countries in the single currency bloc's of -- performed surprisingly well in the third quarter. almost all the eurozone exceeded expectations. among the fastest-growing economies was spain, before the current tensions over catalonia, with gdp growing 8/10 of a percent. france and germany had a single -- similar figure. the upswing helped reduce unemployment which is at its lowest level since 2009. overall, 14.5 million people were out of work in the eurozone in september. that is 1.5

martin luther king. dossier released today shows documents -- >> among 600 documents released today by the ar chives is this one, a never before seen file titled martin luther king jr., a current analysis. in 1968, includes explosives analysis about the leader who was exposed 23 days. martin luther king jr. was involved in extramarital affairs and other sexual activities that if true publicly would have been devastated to him and his moment. there are pages and pages details him and his organization. with alleged ties to kmun insist and finally details about proprieties of dr. martin luther king. i want to stress the fbi under j edgar hoover at the time had been investigating him for years at this point in the hopes of finding damaging information and we have no way of corroborating this investigation. >> what does this have to do with the assassination of jfk? >> that's one of many questions we have tonight, anderson. considering the document has no mention of john f. kennedy or his assassination. the o

when he endorsed luther strange,

we are all shaped by the legacy of luther. he was tough and he got off on some tangents, so we are also shaped by some of the mistakes he made. >> i think the method is wooden exist if it wasn't for luther. it came about about 200 years later. wesley's heart was strangely warmed through a lightning bolt. john luther came to faith. both of them work touched by the romans. one of the differences is the faith. both said by faith alone, but by grace alone, but one of the differences is luther was saying, sanctification was big for him. wesley said, we are goin to perfection for justification, turning around and being in a relationship with jesus. both of them were giants in faith. >> his favorite holiday, was christmas. annie preached 2000 sermons on christmas. >> there are some people that trace it to luther. the just history -- christmas. his deathbed quote, he said as he was dying, we are all beggars. that we all depend on the grace of god in ways we don't fully understand which is true at thanksgiving and it is true at christm

martin luther king.was assassinated on april 4th, 1968 in body, but also assassinated in character by the director of the fbi, j. edgar hoover, so the release of this scurrilous, rumor-filled document in 2017 by the administration of donald j. trump aids and abets the character assassination of dr. martin luther king. there's no rationale, no reason for this. historians agree as a matter of course that the fbi director engaged in a sustained campaign to take down, if you will, the character of the reverend dr. martin luther king, and for us -- for this administration to release these documents, rather this document, having nothing to do with the assassination of president john f. kennedy is unconscionable. >> i get your point. these are historic documents, they are part of a public record. at some point they would have had to come forward. you're saying it should have just been withheld by the government then? >> let's be clear. the national archives recommended back in 1984, or decided in 1984, that the

you know, only weeks later martin luther king jr.ill be dead and the fbi, people are wondering did the fbi hound king to his fate. this is not a good document for the fbi. it shows the deeply paranoid about what they call the washington spring projects, the march on washington of 68, the poor peoples' march. but the lead rft document is the fear the fbi has that stockley black nationalists have teamed up with dr. king in the first wave civil rights christian group and are now going to have a violent america in the spring. to quote dr. king saying apparently this fbi document, jails are going to be the only safe place to be this spring because there's going to be so much violence in america. >> i engined this out. a couple weeks later lyndon johnson doesn't run for re-election at the end of march of 68. and there's this fear that this summer may be a very violent one. and they're following king around in this document. there's about sex parties in miami in 196. some of this was almost kpratd stuff in these 23 page of smearing really o

luther came of age when this new thing called the printing press had been invented.was able to do a run around the mainstream media of the day. he was able to speak directly to the people, and it lit them on fire. they thought, finally somebody understands what we're thinking about. somebody knows what we are thinking about, and some may try to do something. he became an incredible hero of the disenfranchised masses, as it were, and for the first time in many, many centuries in history. if ever. the people found someone who spoke for them and they began to have a voice. it is amazing thing, because we think it is normal, it is the modern world. really, it was martin luther who opened the door to what i think about is the future. everything we take for granted, freedom, american fetal with all of these things were not conceivable unless luther did what he did. it is a huge anniversary, and he is an entertaining figure in a way that trump is. outspoken, but i actually say is -- he makes president trump look like mike pence. in other words, yeah, he would do more than t

he chronicled martin luther king junior's life. the graduate center from the city university of new york hosted in this event. it is about one hour. tonight we are here to honor taylor branch. taylor is best known for his trilogy on the civil rights movement. one thet volume pulitzer prize in 1989. the two subsequent volumes still s toin essential text understanding the role martin luther king junior played in transforming our nation. won thee way, taylor dayton peace prize, the national humanities medal and many other prizes. but i think he would agree that this extraordinary career really when he took a very low-pay job with charlie peters, the legendary founder and editor of "the washington politicala very small opinion and reporting magazine which still exists. i suspect taylor learned his trade as a journalist and book author while working for peters for three years. a few years later i went through a similar process myself, working for victor no "the nation" magazine in new york. both of us became authors after immersing ours

jesus embraces not only saint panhard of clay of all but also martin luther. the cathedral is divided by units of time four hours for the protestants the rest for the catholics. shortly after ten a.m. the cathedral becomes catholic. luke losing has been given a privilege this sunday the fifteen year old student has been chosen to carry the holy relics from the sacristy to the altar the skulls of the brothers john and paul who died as martyrs in the fourth century. the relics may only be displayed in the sanctuary during a catholic liturgy. for the rest of the time they have to be locked away in a cupboard. dan had shifted from a throne and that sparked a reformation of the trade in relics indulgences that's more they shouldn't be displayed prominently in an intercom factional church synagogue that's not really a moment most of course the participants don't want them but wait another hundred years and then maybe they'll say they're also our forefathers in faith who also died for us in the faith who were killed while they also in our altar wait and sing modify l

if you look at the race with luther strange where roy moore won by ten percentage points, luther strangehen president trump. president trump came to alabama to campaign for luther strange. luther strange put out ads with trump showing trump was giving him support. and roy moore won. roy moore lost counties such as jefferson county where birmingham is, madison county where huntsville is and montgomery county. he lost those municipal counties. but the rural areas where people come out to vote, the bible belt, where people love the lord and they follow him based upon his teachings and what he bases his political beliefs on. >> sandra: as we figure and watch, because roy moore is about to speak. he's with this group of religious leaders. we're told he's going to be speaking any time now. what do you think he's going to step up there and say regarding this specifically? >> he's going to say these accusations are lies. if he is caught between a rock and a hard place where he has to admit something, what roy moore will tell his followers is that he prayed about it and the lord foregave him and

there's a lot of problems with luther strange here with people in this state. so they turned against him and a lot of moore's support in that primary were people who were coming out to vote against luther strange. so you're not going to get that, but what you can do out of a lot of this, i think, is get people to just flat stay home on december 12th instead of going out and voting for roy moore or voting against a democrat. now people view doug jones as maybe the lesser of two evils, so to speak. i hate to put jones in a category there of evil, because he's certainly not. he's a reasonable man. you know? >> who prosecuted two klansmen as vaughn pointed out. josh moon all eyes will be on your state. appreciate you taking the time out of your sunday to spend it with us. thanks a lot. >> thank you. >>> coming up, stranger things, after a really odd twitter attack on north korea's leader, president trump suggests the two could one day make amends. what the statements mean for tensions, as trump wraps up his asian tour. >> strange things happen in life. that might b

queuing up for church in martin luther's hometown witan back today thousands came to celebrate the five hundredth anniversary of the protestant reformation and all of my life i've been lutheran this is a very important day for me any less is the this is the place where luther lived and worked and we want to celebrate this today and that if one cannot understand german history without luther and the reformation it has left its mark on us i myself belong to a lutheran church and belief in its values but. at the council church of wittenberg germany's leaders including chancellor merkel herself daughter of a lutheran pastor attended a service to commemorate martin luther d.s. legend has it that it was here on this day five hundred years ago that nailed his ninety five thesis to the door of the council church the document was not tacked on practices of the catholic church luther wanted to reform it not divided but his ideas to simply to revolutionary how i'll timidly it was a liberation for the world the replace the hiroki of power and money but the new individual freedom manifested in love.

he wanted luther strange from the beginning. he campaigned for luther strange hard. of people were against him. but now if you're president trump, you're looking back and saying i told you so. >> i'm concerned that republicans, not just in alabama, but in washington, are talking about ways to avoid an election because they do not want their candidate to lose. they're talking about changing the rules and finagling something to happen so that doug jones does not have to go on the ballot against roy moore and doug jones wins. that is not democracy. this is more egregious. i don't think anybody at the democratic national committee was thinking about ways we could actually change local elections, primaries or caucuses. there. >> are republicans in alabama who support roy moore who agree with you. >> to your point, though, donna brazile -- >> huh-uh, we're not going to go there. >> to but joe biden on. >> about roy moore because he is still on the screen. one of the things i would love to do is talk about the strategy of this moment. roy moore is at a revival. more than 35

when luther strange was appointed to the u.s. senate, i got on tv from my comfortable perch in new york and said, oh, now that luther strange has been appointed to that senate seat, he could have that seat for life. he was absolutely wrong about that. john archibald came on this show and told me that luther exchange would not be elected. i was totally wrong. john archibald was totally right. now "the washington post" has broken a stomach-churning story about the man who alabama republicans have chose tone stand for that seat in the u.s. senate. you see the headline there. woman says roy moore initiated sexual encounter with her she was 14 and he was 32. there's back pain chorus of republican senators saying if this is true roy moore should step down and step out of the race. whether it's true, well, "the washington post" reporting on this appears to be quite solid in saying that. i mean, not only that they've got 30 sources and four named women, i also mean specifically that they don't yet know of -- we don't yet know of any cred

it is where martin luther established the protestant chuch 500 years ago. but this one time cradle of reformation is increasingly god-less. saxony-anhalt, the region where the town lies, has by far the lowest share of churchgoers in all of germany. with the lutheran anniversary approaching, our reporter followed a local pastor to find out how he is trying to hold on to his flock. reporter: the globig parsonage in saxony-anhalt has seen better days. the stove is being stoked to warm up the place for the senior group who are about to arrive. they meet here every wednesday but not for much longer. pastor jurgen hofmann has to give up the house because there's no one left to see to the upkeep of the old building. >> here in globig, all the tenants are moving out. the windows and roof are all new, but the house doesn't have central heating. that makes it very difficult to find new tenants, so we decided to sell the house. reporter: this isn't the first parsonage hofmann has closed. at least this time there is another place to live lined up for him. he just hopes

luther strange started way back and won a good race. roy win in december. it wasn't until the accusers came forward the president and spokes people launched on to the, let alabama decide talking point. the truth which she let slip is well the white house has decided it prefers an alleged child molester to a democrat pause the alleged child molester will support the president on tax cut. now we phillip buff -- i'm surprised about what kellyanne conway was saying about roy moore. what do you make of it? >> well they want the vote. they, like many other republicans want to act like they have no responsibility or obligation to give alabama voters a better choice. the governor of alabama, whose a woman says she believes the women but says she's going to vote for roy moore anyway. this is what i am sad to say is becoming the new standard, the republican party. this is a new variation of what reluctant republicans said about donald trump. well, i support him but i done endorse him. what they're really saying is i'm not going to stick my nelk out and take the risk

it might have had big luther in there, or somebody else. >> there is problem with luther strange, i understand why they did not want him, but this did not happen organically, steve bannon said to the flames of the race, and he is out there threatening to challenge all of these republican senators. >> laura: look, i think that steve bannon is about issues, he cares about the issues that donald trump voters cared about. the culture, the trade, the american workers hold again, better economically. those voters do vote in alabama, and i think it is not about roy moore, he was the guy who was going to hold the trump agenda. so i think mitch mcconnell has a lot more to blame here than steve bannon. >> here's the problem, what he has been doing, i understand what he is trying to do, the efforts are genuine. but he is organizing the firing squad, where republican senator who but with donald trump 96% of the time, the reason we are getting -- not getting the trump agenda past is not because of mitch mcconnell, it is because we only have 52 senators, not enough to agenda. there are five democrats in 201

two successive volumes and still remain essential text to any understanding of the role that martin luther king played in transforming our nation. along the way, taylor won an in addition to the pults administer prize and many other prizes. i think he would agree that this extraordinary career really began in 1970 when he took a very low paid job with charlie peters, the legendary founder and editor of the washington monthly, a very small circulation political opinion and reporting magazine which still exists. i strongly suspect that taylor learned his trade as a journalist and book author while working for peters for three years. a few years later i went through a similar process myself but working for victor navaski at the nation magazine here in new york. both of us arguably became buy og gras fers after immersing ourselves in journalism. oddly enough, taylor and i both worked in the 1972 campaign for george mcgovern. he didn't know this, but i was just a lowly canvasser knocking on doors in california and nebraska and minnesota. taylor however had a slightly more elevated campaign posi

you have two brothers, martin luther king iii and dexter.think my brother martin is doing it too. he's just not a preacher, but he's doing it too. he does a lot of travelling, carrying similar messages that i carry all over the place. and so i wouldn't say that it's not carrying, but we're carrying it out in different ways. dexter's a little bit more reserved and personal. he doesn't do public speaking — he doesn't feel comfortable in that space. and so, i think each one of us are doing it in different ways. you know, what has helped all of us, because we've talked about it before, is my motherjust not — if our mother had put pressure on us, it would have been really hard. but she took that pressure off and that has helped us to process through the external pressure that we have, in different seasons of our life. you know, bereavement has been a really defining feature of your life, hasn't it? you lost your sister yolanda, obviously your father, your grandmother was shot dead. your uncle was found mysteriously dead in a swimming pool. father
