have many alumni who have done quite well but i don't think we have any billionaires and so what robert smithransformat an accelerated rate of speed and the reality is that we have to do more and do it faster to get to a better place, to continue to get the best students who have opportunities to go other places in some cases, no choice because they don't have family who have extra resources to give them and our ability to continue to attract those students makes us each more attractive to those students who have resources to pay. >> the near-term focus this fund is the reopening of our black colleges with strong enrollments, safe environments for our students, and great technology and in-person teaching but the long term goal is full recovery and transformation. >> netflix have been has been one of the beneficiaries this pandemic shows are up more than 30% year to date. the company now valued at about 19 billion i asked the ceo reed hayesings about the role of corporate leaders in this opportunity and how he feels about trying trying address some of the opportunity gaps in silicon valley and

tyler perry and robert smith. [applause] and champion floyd mayweather., let me get into my -- everybody is sending me notes. i want you to turn briefly to the book of ephesians. sixth chapter. ephesians, the sixth chapter, because i think that we need to understand what we are dealing with here. ephesians 6 tells the story of why i think we need to really look at the situation differently, because it talks about, in paul's letter to the philippians -- ephesians. i'm catching up with myself. it says in his letter to the ephesians, he says, "finally, be strong in the lord and in his mighty power. put on the full armor of god, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. for our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers and authorities, against the powers of the darkness and against spiritual forces of wickedness in high places. therefore, put on the full armor of god, so when the day of evil comes, ye may be able to withstand your ground. may god add a blessing to the reading of his word. we are not fighting some disco

thankfully, with the business mogul and businessman robert smith, and tyler perry, who called us last are helping with a lot of the expenses, and even transporting those of us that are participants and the family members, so they don't have the travel problem. but i think that what we are not realizing is we can draw the parallels between '68 and now, and the forces in the civil rights movement and those of us now. but we're operating under a pandemic. we've never had to have a civil rights movement and deal with uprisings and deal with those that want to be violent, and deal at the same time with a pandemic. so this -- there's no book we can go to. i can't call mike barnicle and find out how did they do this before. meacham can't help us. that's what we're dealing with. i think joe's point about residency is right. and i do think about the fact that some of those that are in law enforcement, when they live in those communities, they look at kids differently because those kids go to school with their own kids. my father lived in orlando, florida. many years we were separated. we talk

smith, at westminster. some really strong criticism from robert, there.me sort of hybrid, virtual parliament to continue. i think around seven tory chairman of select committees have signed a motion calling for the hybrid parliament to continue and the problem is basically this. although jacob rees—mogg the problem is basically this. althouthacob rees—mogg once parliament to return as normal, there's been no answer found to how oui’ there's been no answer found to how ourmps are going there's been no answer found to how our mps are going to vote, if you vote going through the lobbies you are rammed in, crushed in, know where you can socially distance so the only way so far devised to do it is by an extraordinary long queueing system which the speaker is proposing for the votes today, whereby mps would vote from the dispatch box by the speaker ‘s chair, all the way through the commons chamber, through the members lobby, through central lobby, turn right through since stephen's chapel, back into westminster hall, round that a couple of times, you would have

smith. we have fox team coverage. first chief white house correspondent john roberts has details of the president's plan live from the north lawn. >> at noon today in the rose garden the president signed an executive order to undertake reforms in policing and the president said he wants a law enforcement officers and departments across country to adopt the highest professional standards possible to serve their communities. >> what's needed now is not more stoking of fear and division. we need to bring law enforcement and communities closer together not to drive them apart. >> it's just the beginning of more to come. the house and senate are working on broad measures but president trump wanted to do whatever he could from an executive standpoint to address the difficulty facing the country. federal incentives to police forces to create credentialing and certification and best practices for the use of force. as part of that initiative president trump says he wants to ban the use of choke holds and all but the most extreme cases. >> as part of this new credentialing process, choke holds will be banned except if an offic

smith is at westminster. a lengthy and somewhat complicated timeline of events, robert, sorry, norman,, but what do you thinkexts between robertjenrick and richard desmond adds to the story. does it add more pressure for those calls for robertjenrick to resign? it certainly raises an awful lot more questions in what is a fairly tangled tale. at its heart is a fairly fairly tangled tale. at its heart is afairly simple fairly tangled tale. at its heart is a fairly simple thought, did this wealthy developer and tory donor get special access to the minister in charge of planning, basically because he was a tory supporter, and the minister was prepared to go along with him. we don't have a definitive answer to that but certainly in terms of how it looks, it looks bad, because we have at the very beginning the two of them sitting down together at a tory fundraising dinner, the developer showing him on his phone a promotional video of the development, and then after the dinner the minister stays in touch, text the developer to say it's nice to meet you and then the developer is pushing for a meeting, and at the end
