wildfire across states. >> and any day now the national labor relations board we could see it ruling out of them that would allow workers at mcdonald's to unionizeationally. what would that mean if that were to move forward? >> that would be pretty exciting. i think one of the reasons why being able to organize unionize and collectively bargain with your employer is that it helps raise wages throughout the entire labor market. one of the reasons why we see such massive inequality today is because while on paper that right still exists, the reality is, workers have been fought aggressively through court cases and employers hiring outside firms to beat back union drives. and that has led to damage for all of us. it has helped fuel the rising inequality in this country where you see the top 1%, ceos, walking away with the lion's share of the profits. >> tamara, one thing i come back to and we hear about this debate and it kind of feeds into what we saw at the health care laws and supreme court ruling, governors didn't have a choice whether or not to expand medicaid, you're seeing this grass roots mobilization in blue states about raising the minimu

ukraine only existed as a nation separate from the soviet union for about ten years at this point. 2001. this was the biggest military exercises they had ever done. october, 2001. those military exercises included the ukrainian military shooting down a drone aircraft with a powerful surface-to-air anti-aircraft heat-seeking missile. or rather, shooting down a drone with two of those missiles because one of those missiles does appear to have hit the drone. the other one appears to have hit this plane. or at least a plane like it. ukrainian military in 2001 during military exercises accidentally shot down siberian airlines flight 1812 which was flying from tel aviv to siberia, and 78 completely innocent people were killed. >> at first, terrorism was suspected, but now u.s. officials believe it was a missile fired during this military training exercise in the crimean region of ukraine, about 160 miles from the site of the crash. u.s. officials tell nbc news that a launch of a ukrainian missile was detected four minutes before the russian plane was apparently hit. ukrainian officials deny a

no one cared, not the united nations, not the european union that claimed it's democratic. for creek sipry ots there was mourning. and anger and frustration that the politicians are unable or unwilling to solve the cyprus problem. for this day i hand over to my cole ago paul brennan. the turkish cypriots, the memories of 20 july 1974 are different to those of the greek cypriots south of the line. the soldiers that landed on the peach in morne cypress came not for invasion but salvation. >> turkish september their troops to defend. the debt of gratitude was visible from the vowed cheering on. turkish president told them the result of the military invasion had been 40 years of peace on the island. but he admitted the status quo cannot go on forever, and we will not allow it to go on forever. many turkish cypriots share the frustration, and questioned whether the soldiers are needed here, there is the common ground between greek and turkish cypriots. the sides met that week, and the leaders were scheduled to meet. a sustainable deal can't be par chuted in. it takes compromise,

republican study committee, citizens against government waste, heritage, cato, american conservative union, national taxpayers union and even president obama have targeted the commission for elimination. it's time that we heed these recommendations and eliminate funding for this commission once and for all. to do otherwise would be imprudent and wasteful particularly when faced with a $17.5 trillion debt. . . mr. simpson: mr. chairman, this amendment would eliminate the denali commission which is funded at last year's level of $10 million in this bill. the denali commission provides infrastructure and economic development activities for some of the country's most rural and distressed communities. regardless of whether it is one state or region. the fact is, the state is probably larger than any one of the regions that the other commissions deal with. in a time of economic instability, communities can scarce afford to lose the millions of dollars in private investments leveraged by the commission annually. the elimination of this commission would deny these communities infrastructure and development

unions really need to recognize the democratic party might be the lesser evil that you need to vote for in this election. pouring all this money into national campaigns is not going to help anyone. unions really need to start achallenging democratic governors like andrew cuomo in new york. so those -- >> which you wush they would never do. >> yeah. >> they're not going to touch him in wisconsin. >> the thing is scott walker, he is just too bold. he wnts to cut off the heads of the unions. they're doing the same thing. by the time unions wake up and realize what's going on, they're too weak. they're in a vulnerable position. and the member shps are not activated. may 1st, a union rally. 1,000 people came up. i would say for every -- >> city hall where? >> new york city. for every five union staff that showed up, probably told to go after work. 1,000 people total. this is the most union dense area of this country. they have their membership engaged. they have a stake in the union. the thing the unions used to say, that is only true in a few democratic unions. aenthose need to be the model. >> so let me close on the show. what makes you hopefu

the rotation of capitalism, but the big reason the schools are failing our students and our nation is the union they put their interests first. the watered-down cricket one does not help and that has been demanded by people so that kids can feel smarter by getting better grades. so either you know how to do it or you don't. >> no programmer left behind. i think we should have a new program. i don't think involving the government and anything like that is a good idea. the government has a lot of aussie around diversity and inclusion, particularly in a sense of operations that want to do business with the u.s. government, they actually have to do anywhere between 30 and 50% of their business with women and my minority owned firms. >> he's pushing his company to release these days. >> they are explaining there's a lack of diversity that they hope to pass on i don't figure something wrong with that. and i think -- >> if there are minorities are available, it would give us the opportunity. >> i agree that i don't think that the government should be involved at all. >> president obama tried to get in

nations. cubans became heroes in the soviet union.like the day david challenged goliath. >> in the years since he took power, fidel castro has become an enemy of the united states. >> in cuba, you have fidel castro who's tying himself to the soviet bloc. which seems to be threatening the united states by the possibility that they're going to export communism to other south american countries which are in many instances anti-american. khrushchev is saying that you have to understand that cuba matters a lot to us. don't mess with cuba. khrushchev not using rhetoric. the eastern bloc was supporting castro with military assistance. >> many latin americans were shocked to find out how much communist equipment castro actually has. >> the sense was that kennedy had to do something about castro. >> when kennedy comes to the presidency he's briefed on the fact there was a plan in place to topple castro. >> but the plan that's presented to him is not what he wants. it's a huge invasion on a noisy beach. it is going to look like a u.s. invasion

not the united nations, not the european union that claims its democratic. >> this is a day dominatedfeelings of loss and mourning but they are matched by frustration and anger that the politicians on this side seem unable or unwilling to solve the cyprus problem. for the latest on how this day is commemorated on the turkish side of this divide, i hand over to my colleague, paul brennan who is in turkish-opinikayputed area. >> the memories of the 20th of july are those south of the green lined. the soldiers who landed on that beach in northern cyprus came for salvation. >> turkey sent troops to defend turkish-speaking cipriats targeted and killed bile greek mali were a. a debt of gratitude was visible in the crowd cheering on the modern day military regments. turkish president told them the results of the military invasion had been 40 years of peace on the island. but he admitted the status quo cannot go on forever and we will not allow it to go on forever many share the same frustration and request whether the soldiers are really still needed here there is the real common ground betw
