so i believe when martin luther king, jr. said injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, certainly this horrendous kill something terrible. however, we can lead from our own hearts and our own communities and say to each other, this is bad, but we must stop the violence. jedediah: you know, al vide today, your uncle also talked about how riots were destructive, self-defeating. was such an advocate for peaceful protest to bring about effective change. what do you say though to protesters who are out there, saying you know what, if i don't do something like this, if i don't act out violently i will not be heard, i will not effectuate change?

the memeage that m martin luther king gave his one of love a and solidarityty.eeing so m many examples of people being generous and helping others with kindness during the pandemic in these uncertain times.s. thatves me great faith when t things calm down and we e able to o get back to norormal,t we can think of life a little differently. more, reachingg out tonene anotherer, those close to us, and our neighbors. will dois concerert, i quite a few quotes from martin luther king and one of them that always touches me is that hate cannot reduce hate. or get rid of hate. ononly love can do that.t. rightsking of the civil movement, , you were born in arkansas when the jim crow segregation laws s were in place and you said it was like being born a refugee in your own country as you did not have the same rights as white people. did you believe is a black woman you would go want to be one of the most famous opera s singers, thatat she would see a black man elected president of your country? up i was mostly focused on studying science, mathematics and physics.. and i wa

martin luther king jr. organized the boycott, the masses followed king, the masses walked, the boycott ended segregated buses and the boycott was short. i wanted to tick through those and speak to those. the first one being the idea that parks was the first. that she was the first woman, black woman to resist segregated public transportation. -- thereot even true are examples from the previous century, one of them being ida b wells, who protested on a railroad. she sued and won. sojourner truth protested on d.c. streetcars be it and homer where plessy versus ferguson comes from. we have examples of african americans boycotting segregated transportation before. in birmingham, alabama, we have two examples. i only wrote one down. kart in 1943. she was a teenager and a bus driver treated her poorly, she spit on him and cursed him, and she spent 30 days in jail. there was another woman who got a shoving match with a white man on the bus. she cursed him while she was riding the bus and when she got off the bus, s

but in 1956, martin luther king jr. was a little known minister and the leader of a bus boycott in montgomery, alabama, that started when activist rosa parks refused to give up her seat to a white man. >> this is a nonviolent protest using the method of passive resistance. >> martin luther king was a man of huge thoughtfulness about the strategy that he had asked those who followed him to use. and that strategy was that in the face of violence, you have a moral high ground if you did not return violence with violence. >> negro passengers have been humiliated, intimidated. >> reporter: at first the young minister who went by the unassuming name of m.l. king was only covered by black journalists writing for black papers. >> in particular, "the birmingham world," a black newspaper and its editor emory jackson. he writes about long before anyone else that dr. king is invoking gandhian principles. he becomes referred to in the black press as the black moses. the white editors, they were just living in a different world. >> t

come on luther king has lived in bad dear i'm in southwestern germany since he retired. where he originally came from he doesn't know whose you know are you seeking leave everyone feels nice curiosity to know what their parents look i think you have revealed we don't like to know if i have others saw systems on the seas or asked so i just don't know if i switched over i tried everything. to 20 archives but i found nothing you've nothing at all happened before god thinks. this for decades herman has been trying to find out who his parents were and where he was born. he always has the support of his partner. even as a child he felt that there was some mystery he was 6 years old when he was placed with maria and her man luther king but he sensed that they were keeping something from him that. this stuff it was part of was hidden in my foster father's concert. and as various 13 or 14 year old i look to see what was in it. for you in this yes i was always curious. and when i saw this i realized more or less what it was a part. of this. this is my that i already knew that i wa

martin luther king jr. is chaos. we are better than this as a country. go home. >> what a protest, chaos. atlanta as they are declaring the rides that broke out in her city, nationwide outbreaks escalating, the city known for its history of peaceful protests since the days of mlk, turning violent as rioters set fire to downtown streets including attacking cnn headquarters. the niece of martin luther king jr. joins us from atlanta. thank you so much for being here this morning, your joining us from atlanta, you have a goddaughter in minneapolis, your message to those rioting, a fourth day. >> at 1726 of one blood, god made all people to live together on the face of the earth. martin luther king jr. said we must learn to live together as brothers and sisters and parish together as fools. our president, donald john trump, has said we all believe the same. jack brewer just spoke very truly when he said we have to deal with racists right now in this nation. people are being killed because of skin color, sometime

to mind martin luther king's only road to freedom. it i is something of an i influe here in america, i believe. they played an important role during that moment. it w would not have happened without the many unknown women who facilitated that movement. parks, butss of there were other women. diane mash, daisy y bates, mary lou humummer. m message i is one of lovove and solidarity. i have seen so many exampmples f people being generous and helping others during this pandemic.. that it gives me e great faith whwhen things calm down andnd we ablele to get backck to normamai think ththat we will look at lie a little bit differently. o outl value more anand reach to those that are close to us and our neighbors. so when this concert, i will be quotes.ite a few cannot reduce h hate or get rid of hate. only l love can do t that. alive at a time when the jim crow laws of segregatitn were put in place. he said it was like being a refugee in your own country. did you believe that you would go on to be one of the world's most famous opera singers

most luther king only road to freedom. the civil rights movement of the nineteen fifties and nineteen sixties in america is something of a an influence here i believe. oh absolutely thohough the room was compmposed of songs thahat playr importantt role during thahat movement- and also i would like to see because it was led by martin luther king but would not have happenened and beeeen a success without the meanie unknown. men who consumed tainted that movement i mean you know we know rosa parks because she was a great inspiration to the movement but there were other women that diane nash daisy bates of spendingng a lot m more. and ths what this is a movemement with lots o o insulin women at and the- s. thahat. is one of lovee and sellingg. and i've b been seeing so many exaxamples of people being generous a a helping others and kindness during this during this pandemic these uncertain times. and thehe and he gives me great states after when things calm down andnd we are able to get back to normal but maybe wee can think k

you either invoke all of dr martin luther king or you don't invoke him at all dr martin luther king said araya is the language of the unheard and these communities have felt unheard for a really long time there are hundreds and hundreds of protesters across minneapolis and the media is complicit in the way in which the narrative is being portrayed the media goes straight to the burning building they go straight to the looters they are not pursuing the solidarity amongst young people of color in particular who are peaceful who are enraged and they are they should be righteously angry and when we talk about donald trump this is not an isolated incident we right now are in a cold with pandemic people here are unemployed we have a president who has been incompetent in being able to address a pandemic that has disproportionately impacted black people when you have communities where black people are not the majority of the population but they are the majority of the deaths that is a problem so donald trump these to stand up for black people he needs to be providing resources to black

>> i think part of it is the image of martin luther king jr.. as the leader and the figurehead in all of. this is in a sense, the montgomery bus boycott is the origin point for him. and so then if the story is not that he was the one leading this, pushing this forward then that kind of makes things difficult for his narrative. >> very much. and that is in keeping with what was said before about rosa parks and that simple idea. the absolutely. and the other thing that we have to understand is that african americans on the ground or forging some of these ideas because it is politically expedient and safer to do so. and that is important to consider when you are thinking about your marginalized group or one oppressed group trying to advance their politics. within any particular historical moment. the african american women that we are talking about particularly women like join robinson, she's an activist but she is still a middle class black women in the south. i'm not saying that because she was limited, she also had some gender ideologies about h

martin luther king jr. i'm joined by martin luther king iii. mr. king, good morning. grateful to have you on with us and get your perspective. your father famously said the riot is the language of the unheard. it's a line we've heard quite a bit over the last week or so. not justifying but explaining what we're seeing in these streets. as you watch the images across the country, mr. king, how do you explain them? what are we watching in america right now? >> so, i don't know that beyond what we have heard every day, beyond what we are seeing and feeling, the frustration, the humiliation, the insensitivity. over 50 years ago where my father was leading a demonstration in memphis, tennessee, and what he was leading was for sanitation workers to be treated like men. they had signs that said, i am a man. 50 years later, people are asking just for dignity and respect in terms of arresting a human being. not a person ending up dying. if we see these incidence, we see a variety of people joining. it's not just black people. it's black and white, old and young. and so the ans

and that was a horrible moment of watching the narrative shift. >> martin luther king's death was notinal chapter in the struggle to overcome racial injustice in america. but for a time, king changed the plot from disillusioned to defiance. and despite the hate, he saw hope. >> dr. king said, you have to create a crisis, so the power structures are forced to answer. we had to create crisis, rooted far older than our chapter of the movement. >> the state of the world today does not afford us the luxury of an anemic democracy. >> if you are fortunate, his memory can stick to your mind and inspire you to keep moving. >> king used to talk about that the real peace was not the absence of tension but the presence of justice. ensuring the presence of justice is a whole lot more complicated. >> the price that america must pay for the continued repression of the negro is its own destruction. >> there was something that was happening in america that responded to his voice and his message. >> it is a struggle between the forces of light and the forces of darkness. >> it was a moment that galvani

the daughter of martin luther—king says it's the result of deep—seated problems.terrorise, they murder our children, and we have done nothing. when you do not deal with these conditions of adequacy and white supremacy in the nation, these are the kind of things that happen. people riot. that is their language, that is their frustration. targeting twitter: president trump signs an executive order aimed at social media companies. western countries condemn china's planned new hong kong security law, saying it threatens basic freedoms. and france announces a re—opening of bars and restaurants. the president calls them central to the french way of life. welcome to bbc news. the us city of minneapolis is bracing for a third night of unrest following the death of george floyd, an unnamed black man who died as he was being held to the ground by police. the usjustice department and the fbi say they're giving top priority to their investigation into his killing. this is the live scene now. it is dark, there has been a huge fire and fire engines are at that particular locati

with us tonight on the developing story, doctor king, the niece of martin luther king, she wants to share with us her thoughts on the new american moment, how it reveals who we are as a country as there is outrage from "coast to coast" on the killing of george floyd. doctor king wants to talk to us how this is a chance to re-articulate to be an american is against in a task to live up to. it's about humanity of america sees a unique dignity and all of us as individuals and what good can be made from hardships. we'll talk with evita king coming up in moments, also a top rnc official for california on the breaking news of john ratcliffe, releasing the new declassified transcript of phone calls between michael flynn and the russian ambassador. showing there was no there there to prosecute michael flynn. we will break it down, all that and the justice department will declassify even more documents that could spell out what was the predicate, what was the probable cause, was it solid enough, the case with the russia kahlÚa probe, grind out abundance those, there was no doubt with a michael fly

martin luther king, jr. was born here. you could hear the passion in the mayor's voice when she spoke last night. take a look. >> when i heard there were rumors about violent protests in atlanta, i did what a mother would do. i called my son and i said where are you? i said, i cannot protect you and black boys shouldn't be out today. >> reporter: and as you heard the mayor and some of the people with her, this is our home and our city. if we lose atlanta, what else do we have left? guys, back to you. >> so powerful to hear the mayor speaking as a mayor, as a mother, emotions running so high all across the country. blayne alexander in atlanta. thanks so much. >> it was another night of unrest and anger in minneapolis as well. even after the arrest of the police officer who had his knee on george floyd's neck. protesters ignoring a citywide curfew that was supposed to start at 8:00 last night. gabe gutierrez remains in minneapolis for us again this morning. gabe, good morning. >> reporter: peter, good morning. parts of the c

this is not in the spirit of martin luther king, jr. this is chaos. a protest has purpose. when dr. king was assassinated we didn't do this to our city. >> in oakland, california police arrested 18 people and detained another 60 for looting. six officers were injured while attempting to keep the peace. someone opened fire on two protective federal service officers at the federal building, killing one of them. oakland police say they do not think it was related to the protests. in detroit, a 19-year-old was shot and killed when someone from a dodge durango shot into the crowd. and a majority taken into custody were from outside the city. they're asking them to leave. and many of the protesters and protests across the nation began during the day in relative peace. as the sun went down, the numbers increased and enraged. and there are announced protests in nearly 40 cities today. >> alicia acuna, thank you very much for that report outside of minneapolis. right now what i want to do is-- or i believe you're outside of denver, but listen, the point is the story started in minneapolis an

but i think what martin luther king was trying to say, rather than simply dismiss the outrage and the rage after decades really, centuries of state sponsored oppression for african-americans and let's look at the roots of that range and try to address it rather than pounded down with massive force. people are upset for a reason and to dismiss the reason we might be dealing with them again and again, and again, it was john f. kennedy who said were peaceful changes made impossible, violent change is inevitable and these are not statements about what they believe should happen, their statements about what does happen, i think that is really what the spirit of the comment was. chris: i want to drill down on this specific case, the fire police officer derek chauvin was charged with third-degree murder, not second-degree murder which is a much stiffer penalty, second degree does, the big difference has to do with what he intended to do, whether he intended to kill george floyd, were putting up the video now, it's hard to see anything other or questionable when he kept his knee on his neck f

as we all know from his wonderful work on bearing the cross and the fbi martin luther king, we know that, as you mentioned, the fbi was out to get martin king, there's no doubt about it. i was disappointed that he presented the research in a way with leaving most of that context out. so for folks who haven't read his books, they don't know that the fbi makes a claim in 1963 to j. edgar hoover ins a 70-page report by saying martin king is not a communist, the commune necommuneist don't have any findings on the movement, it's fine. he writes back saying this is absurd, ridiculous. and then after martin king's march on washington's address, they immediately change their analysis. you were right, he's the most dangerous negro in the world and we cannot count on -- and this is key, i wish that garo would have cited this, we can no longer count on evidence that will stand up in a court of law or congressional committees in order to discredit martin luther king. we have to go beyond that sort of evidence. he doesn't mention that. and i think that's really important that the fbi is aiming to fin

martin luther king guns said ond justice is the most indestuctable element of our community. we are killing ourselves as americans. we need to think about where we are and understand that justice cannot be given up. justice is what's going to end us. we need to return to that and more importantly we need to strengthen that. that comes in a variety of forms that we can go into but that's the issue. jedediah: ben, i want to ask you about the nfl commissioner, roger goodell, released the following statement. it says as current events dramatically underscore, there remains much more to do as a country and as a league. the tragedies inform the nfl's commitment and ongoing efforts, there remains an urgent need for action. we recognize the power of our platform in communities and as part of the fabric of american society, we embrace that responsibility and are committed to continuing the important work to address these systemic issues together and with our players, clubs and partners. what can the role of the nfl be potentially in trying to heal this divide? >> i think we've seen it

speak of this is not in the spirit of martin luther king jr. this is chaos.i've got about 2 minutes here, professor. do you think that what we are seeing in the streets, riots, violence, looting and african-american neighborhoods, do you think that's doing any good for african-americans? >> professor west: most of my fellow citizens, god bless them, that are in the streets, are there, peaceful, their marching and when it does spillover into violence, looting is wrong, but legalized looting is wrong too. murder is wrong, legalized murder is wrong too. i look at the wickedness in high places first and then keep track of the least of these. we all have individual responsibility, but we are living in a system that seems to be unable to reform itself and when you have such a moment, you get violent spillover. that's the concern. if we are more concerned about the property and spillover than the property, decrepit school systems, dilapidated housing, massive on appointment and underemployment, we are going to be doing this every five, every time, every 20 years and

if you don't know his wonderful work on the fbi and martin luther king, we know that the fbi was out to get martin king. there is no doubt about it. i am presented that he presented the research while leaving most of that context out. for folks who haven't read his books, they don't know that the fbi makes a claim in 1963 to j edgar hoover in a 70 page report saying martin king is not a communist. the communists dont have any influence on the civil rights movement. hoover was upset. he writes back that this is absurd, ridiculous and after martin king's march on washington, they push for further analysis. they told mr. hoover, you are right. we cannot count on -- this is key, and i wish he would have cited this -- we can no longer count on evidence that would stand up in a court of law or congressional committees in order to discredit martin luther king. we have to go beyond that sort of evidence. he doesn't mention that and i think it is important that the fbi is aiming to find anything they can to discredit him, including as i mentioned in my own work, funneling and having ministers

antiquated martin luther king jr. you are seeing is the unheard finally speaking. can i ask you one last question just about the gathering and the size of the gathering and the size of the gathering and the size of the gathering and it seems to have been mounting as the hours have gone by. is it still getting bigger? i mean this is obviously here to stay for a few hours. it is getting bigger. it is not dwindling at all. people of all ages, kids, earlier tonight, not right now, people with their dogs. a huge crowd, cross section of our city here. chao xiong of the startribune, city here. chao xiong of the sta rtribune, thank you city here. chao xiong of the startribune, thank you so much for giving us the very latest from the scene, in fact, of the third precinct police station which you saw, at least in part, burning away there with no suggestion of police intervening at this stage. let's get more from david willis. david, it is not actually, while we are focusing on minneapolis for good reason, these are cropping up

on fourth street in downtown san jose, we are now moving away from city hall toward the martin luther king library where the crowd has been dispersed, i'm surrounded by a parking garage on one side and a bunch of condos on the other side. this is a very populated part of downtown san jose. >>fromr ng a gaage n onfi pot no. >> t eyhave done is they had the big crowd in front of city hall on santa clara street but different fingers of crowds were moved down various streets, so we are on one finger right now so we are kind of boxed in, we can't see what's happening on the other fingers, but the same thing that you see here is happening on all the other streets, so this is what will continue to be the police tactic as they try and clear the streets in downtown san jose. people are just walking back, there's really not much protesting going on anymore because the police have made it clear that they are going to use pretty forceful tactics to get the crowd to move out of the way. >> you and your photographer have certainly give us given us a look at what's going on on the streets from all perspe

the leaders, martin luther king, are talking about nonviolent direct action. and we're owing to talk about nonviolence in terms of a strategy, in relationship to other strategies that come later. but i need to be careful when i say this, because i do not want to dismiss the idea that these people participating in the boycott were dedicated to a doctrine of nonviolence for moral, civil, principled reasons. but it's also pageantry, right? it is also pageantry. and when you have media cameras, have people coming down, and you see these crowds, row after row of well-dressed african-americans stoically, peacefully walking through the city, walking to the court buildings, that's an image of blackness that hasn't been mainstreamed before that point in time, right? and subsequent activists take note. we're going to talk about that, when we talk about little rock and birmingham. so this nonviolent direct action, certainly this is a strategy used in other moments, other movements, becomes something people understand as defining the movement. that comes out of montgomery

martin luther king jr.me of so many civil rights activists and peaceful activist, civil rights hero and ambassador andrew young said the protests disintegrated into foolishness. >> we had a beautiful demonstration going on about 6:00. and it was multiracial. it was mothers and their children and they were orderly and quiet and peaceful. and then they went on about their business. and then another group tagged along and i don't know what -- they were not part of the original demonstration it seems and yet they disrupted the whole purpose of the demonstration. >> what damage does that do to the justifiable grievance? >> doesn't do any good but does a lot of harm. minneapolis had begun to move. they fired four policemen and they've indicted one. and we have had a pretty good relationship between our young people and police force here in atlanta. and for many, many years. but school is out. and normally demonstrations would be organized on college campuses where students would be responsible. this is sort of a

we heard from bernese king, obviously the daughter of the late martin luther king jr. who is the leader of the country and lives here. saying the nation has to deal with systemic racism and spr supremacy once and for all. this is part of what she said. >> but the only pathway i know to do this is through nonviolent means. it is a proven message. it did not fail my father. as many people it failed them, it did not fail them. one thing about it, once you really understand it and really practice it, it brings about the results. so right now it's about where is the end goal? the end goal is we want change. and we want it now. >> she also warned that there are people trying to incite a race war and that protesters shouldn't fall into their trap. >> let's bring in cedric alexander former president of the national law enforcement agency and former chief of california. cedric, before we talk specifically what happened in minneapolis and across the country, you've worked in law enforcement for 40 years, during the l.a. riots what we saw in ferguson, what we saw in baltimore. an

martin luther king at selma. remember what we learned from bobby kennedy when he spoke immediately after the assassination of dr. martin luther king jr. remember what cesar chavez told us right here in san jose. the only justifiable thing to do under these circumstances, and violence begets more violence. stay calm, stay tranquil. you do have elected officials that are going to stand for you and with you. and the justice system will prevail here, but do not engage in violence, please. >> well said, dave santa clara county supervisor. we'll stay in touch you. you're looking at live sky7 coverage of the george floyd protest in san jose. there have been some increasing skir mishz here a skirmishes. something we had not seen here to fore until the last 20 minutes, last half hour, are protests directly clashing with a line of police shouting at them, kind of in their face, and being a little bit more pointed and assertive with police. some perhaps trying to provoke the police. larry, we talked about what an -- you mad

on friday you quoted martin luther king saying riot is the way the unheard get heard. are you suggesting that something good may come from the violence in the streets in minneapolis this week? >> no, the violence really is a negative thing. but i think what martin luther king was trying to say is rather than simply dismiss the outrage and the rage that people express after decades, really, really, actually centuries of state-sponsored oppression, for african-americans, let's look at the roots of that rage and try to address it, rather than just pound it down with massive force. i mean, people are upset for a reason. and to dismiss those reasons means we're going to be relegated to dealing with them again and again and again. i mean, actually it was john f. kennedy who said where peaceful change is made impossible, violent change is inevitable. and these are not statements about what they believe should happen. they are statements about what does happen. so i think that's really what the spirit of the comment was. chris: i want to drill down on this specific case, the f

recall robert kennedy's plea to the people of indianapolis after the death of martin luther king not to embrace violence. watch mayor lance bottoms talk to her city of atlanta. but at a national level, there's just an effort to further divide, not to unify. in any event, i remain optimistic. these protests are part of the airing of problems, real problems, that many countries suppress. i've always been reminded in these moments of the closing lines of one of my favorite books by my former phd adviser sam huntington. in american process the promise of disharmony, he writes, critics say that america is a lie because its reality falls so far short of its ideals. they're wrong. america is not a lie. it is a disappointment, but it can be a disappointment only because it is also a hope. and let's get started. ♪ >>> a warning, you are about to see some graphic video. >> mama, that's who george floyd called for when a police officer's knee was on his neck. floyd later died in police custody, and floyd's killing along with other high profile killings of african-americans have captured america

we had -- martin luther king was assassinated. protests sprang up in a hundred different cities across the country. bobby kennedy was assassinated. we had the height of the draft, vietnam, very controversial. walter cronkite said it was an unlivable war. there were a lot of tough things happening and we wondered if the center would hold. i must tell you, and i would be curious what carl bernstein would have to say. i must tell you, this is worse and it's scarier than what we had. and there are differences and the differences mostly focus on how much worse off the black community is today than it was only a few months ago. this pandemic has hit black folks much harder than it has white folks. th folks much harder than it hit white folks. and nowic brutality. that once again shows white policemen, in this case, graphically committing murder right in front of our eyes. one person does it and three others are there to support him. and we haven't seen anything like that for a long, long time. and very importantly, we have a president w

after the assassination of doctor martin luther king jr., instead of having rights had peaceful demonstration. by people and white people locking arms and marching in solidarity. the people protest, the police here have a tradition of giving the protesters some space, allowing a certain degree of civil disobedience and then whe it gets to be a bit too much, they express what the limits ar and the protesters get back in line and go where they're supposed to be. clearly that did not happen today. this is something i have never seen in atlanta, the mayor is trying to appeal to that peaceful atlanta tradition that tradition of peaceful protest. he is calling on the demonstrators to stop doing damage, to stop vandalizing, because this is just not what w do in atlanta. she assembled a gathering of religious leaders, civil rights leaders, rap artists, members o the hip-hop community, to appea to the protesters to be peaceful , to get their point across, and more effective ways then doing this violence. how you get your point across b attacking cnn, by attacking a journalistic organization, i don't k

we'll get the reaction of dr bernice king, daughter of civil rights activist martin luther king. western countries condemn china's planned new hong kong security law, saying it threatens basic freedoms. targeting twitter — president trump signs an executive order aimed at social media companies. easing the lockdown in england and scotland, where people can gather in groups from monday. welcome to the programme. the us city of minneapolis is bracing for a third night of unrest, following the death of george floyd — an unarmed black man — who died as he was being held to the ground by police. the usjustice department and the fbi say they're giving top priority to their investigation into his killing. this was the scene an hour ago from minneapolis, where thousands of protestors are marching through the city calling for justice. the minnesota governor, tim walz, said he's called in the national guard to help keep order. community leaders also called for calm after police fired tear gas at rioters and looting took place at some stores on wednesday night. the police chief has apologis

kennedy was running for president himself when martin luther king jr. was assassinated. and in that era, obviously a time without the internet or all the instant updates that are so normal today, it literally fell to robert kennedy to break the news to a crowd. and kennedy offered his earnest vulnerable feelings while also trying in that very moment to be a leader who could credibly, morally, ethically urge calm when so many people were feeling anything but. and to do that, he invoked king's belief in prayer and love. >> martin luther king was shot and was killed tonight in memphis, tennessee. so i ask you tonight to return home, to say a prayer for the family of martin luther king. yeah, it's true, but more importantly to say a prayer for our own country which all of us love, a prayer for understanding and compassion of which i spoke. >> each of those incidents involve the sudden death of prominent americans, a contrast to where we're living now, current grinding march of everyday americans dying, few of them well-known in the way of those individuals. but other preside

martin luther king iii. thank you. >> thank you. >>> i want to go to the streets in minneapolis now where our miguel marquez is. miguel, tell us, last we spoke, we had not heard from the hennepin county attorney. now we have. derek chauvin, the officer who had his knee in the neck of george floyd charged now with third degree murder and manslaughter. there could be more charges, the attorney says, we'll get a detailed complaint this afternoon and when it comes to the other officers, quote, i anticipate charges, though, of course, miguel, we don't know what those are. >> and look, this news will be welcome here as well, but it is not going to be everything you want to hear. i want to bring in trey pollard. you've been trying to bring down the level. played the press conference from the hennepin county attorney yesterday where he said they didn't have enough. how much of that contributed to what happened here last night? >> not just here. he struck a match across the country. the fact that he had the audacity

the idea and spirit of martin luther king of non-violence. what he was able to achieve and change an entire nation. that's what we need. >> have you thought where you were earlier in florida with the president seeing the marvel of spacex and nasa coming together in a way that showed enormous success and showed american pride. and when you contrast that with the events and the feeling that so many people have expressed the past five days, how are we to make sense of the great achievements on one hand and what clearly is perhaps a setback for millions of others. >> 2020 is probably one of our roughest years. more than 100,000 people lost their lives from a virus that came from far away. the riots, what we are seeing right now. from understanding, we believe in the rule of law and we believe in justice. can we honor george's life and his family by doing something different? by working towards making the nation better? the president and i had this discussion on air force one together. when you listened to his message today i thought it was very g

would you like to take part in the march on washington in 1963 when civil rights activist martin luther king held his famous speech. over 80 actors in various b.r. specialists helped to recreate this historic moment in time you literally marching with the people you're standing there you're looking at you know dr king gave this speech you're looking at every gesture and then looking at him seeing his eyes through you so it becomes very personal while goosebumps unfortunately the home selection for spectacular view our experiences is still quite limited many can only be tried out with high end equipment especially events on top of that the hardware set up for home viewing still comes with a lot of annoying glitches and for many these systems are still too expensive most agree we are still just getting started. kerchiefs heads a virtual reality studio and he says the technology will have its big break soon enough thanks to some exciting innovations in brains it like it but the goggles have improved significantly in the last 2 years last year we experienced a quantum leap forward when prices be

wanted and something far from what martin luther king ever envisioned, right? >> yeah, i agree with you. what was different was john conyers, martin luther king and others actually went to the scene of these protests to calm people down. i mean, the agenda should be economic and educational and political opportunities and that is about action and it's a peaceful process and i think what we're seeing here is a deep frustration and hopelessness, along with, of course, the pandemic itself, which has disproportionately affected low income people and communities of color. but again, think about it, the mayor of atlanta spoke on behalf of her city. we have a collection of very powerful african-american national political leaders and i am struck by their absence. this is the time for them to step up and talk about these issues. i mean, make this actually be productive and stop the destruction of our country and by the way, think about what happens to the communities when these protesters leave and they leave this path of destruction. these communities are decimated an
