the iranian nation. t is a day when we should restore the right, the civil rights of everything, member of the society and safeguard those rights. today is the day on which we should secure the dignity of all people of this nation. today is a day when everybody should feel that they are equal. there are equal before the law. this is they should feel that. it makes no difference which party, which group, the young and old, managers and other people. officials and layman, our revolution will reach the ideals when all people of the society, all 80 million people are equal before the law. nobody should have an advantage over another. wrong seeking is not accepted in this country. in revolution, it will reach its peak when we trust one another, when our trust is 100 percent in one another. our revolution reaches its peak in the perfection when the iranian nation are hopeful of the future of the system of this revolution and they begin to increase, their hopes begin to raise with responsibility to the revolutio

and the national endowment for the humanities. talk about those organizations and how much money they put to arts and humanities programs. guest: there are a few others. the institute for you museum and library services is a grant -- for museum and library services is a grant generating program. the balance is roughly $148 billion. -- million. that money comes in from the federal government, and then is distributed through 40% going to the states across the country where they match that with some $400 million and distribute it through grants. the other 60% is through competitive grant making that is judged by peer panels. the best goes out to every congressional district and every state. the largest single funder for the arts in america. host: we care about those programs and we think large museums or large-scale kinds of art programs. talk about the scope and some of the programs these funds benefit. third of the money goes to very small programs and very small rural communities across the country. ,nother third goes to midsized

the national security policy of the country. it does not make decisions. the agencies that the agency had -- the agency is there not to represent their departmental views, they are there as individual advisors to offer their best judgment for the president. as a manager of the system, the national secured a advisor must ensure that a memo -- at a minimum, the matters that come before the -- cover the full range of issues of which a review is required, a full range of options are considered together with their opportunities and risks, the all relevant intelligence and other information is available to all participants, especially the president. and that presidential decisions are fully understood and implemented it in the manner in which the president intended. but the national security adviser is not simply the manager of the process, we believe that he himself should be an important source of advice to the president. his is advice unburdened by agency burdens and perspectives. but he must, to play his role properly, also repres

across the nation. and again, the pittsburgh courier is such a large and influential paper that is not 200,000 papers in pittsburgh but across the nation. 200,000 across the nation. the courier is going to be investigated by the f.b.i., a young j. edgar hoover, by the post office and the office of war information. they're investigating them for whether or not they can be charged with treason. again, we're also going to see a stifling of free speech, a stifling of dissent during the war years. the other thing the newspaper is going to do and black papers all across the nation are going to do is turn local stories about segregation and inequality, turn those local stories into national stories. 1942, an african-american soldier is wounded. he loses his leg in a major battle in europe. he gets on a boat home and gets off the boat in los angeles. he is supposed to be picked up by his wife and his in-laws. he is not picked up by his wife and in-laws because they're in jail. the reason that they are in jail is

however, the iranian nation seek the lost ideals, lost ideals of the revolution, and the iranian nation continues to seek those ideals. today, the late imam ayatollah money, martyr, the late rafsanjani, and many other big officials and brave men, they are not among us nowadays, today. men and women though who actually, who served this nation in different cities and villages and who have served this nation, they have created make ethics in this country, and they lost their lives and now they're not among us. however, our concern, our concerns are the same concerns which were eight years ago, our worries, our concerns of those of progress, actually spirituality, justice, freedom. national sovereignty, and in one word, our concern is full realization of an islamic republic, the same path that served eight years ago with honor, we started it and we have continued it all along, and we need to take stronger steps in order to reach our final goals. great iranian nation, the islamic revolution of iran was a turning point in the history of our country. the history of the country which used to be

the national security advisor. it is the last person that talks to the president on the national security matters. jane: very briefly, what is the first thing on his to do list? >> he needs to fix what is going on below him, the turmoil and angst among the people there, and build a relationship with the president. jane: thank you for joining me. .> my pleasure jane: hundreds of people have been arrested in immigration raids in the last few days. president trump had promised to crack down on those in the country illegally. but there is concern in many immigrant communities about how they should respond to a knock on the door. rajini vaidyanathan has more. rajini: president trump's crackdown on illegal immigration has seen hundreds arrested in raids in recent weeks. the government says they are only targeting people who pose a threat to public safety. but some of those detained don't even have criminal records. there are fears the net is being cast much wider. at this housing complex, oscar is handing out leaflets to

across the nation. the question for today that we'll answer is how do we get there? how do we get in 1944 african-americans coming together, leadership from across political spectrum coming together and saying, yes. it is time for segregation to go. the answer to that question i would contend is that there is just movement, what i like to call this movement before the movement. a series of events, actions and activities we have to consider when we think about the moment in 1944. one of the places we can start is back in 1941 and just a little bit of background in terms of the african-american community in the united states in the 1940's. the great depression is still hammering communities all across the country. african-americans are suffering in particular in all major cities in the united states , african-american men are facing unemployment rates up to 50%. some places 2/3 or 3/4 of black families are on public relief. chicago, st. louis, new york, charlotte, unemployment rates for african-american me

a few showers possible in the six nations this afternoon. ngland. anyway it weather in scotland will fade, including any showers in western parts. a lot of dry weather to come with a widespread frost setting in. rural spots could be as low as minus five celsius. a cold start on monday, scraping the car and some fog. even thicker cloud coming into the west of the uk quite quickly on monday, outbreaks of rain, gilles developing, pretty miserable afternoon. it will feel cold, despite any sunshine on the east and pa rt despite any sunshine on the east and part of the uk. the rain spread east overnight, some snow from the peak district northwards on the hills. in the west it brightens up, later in the west it brightens up, later in the week, all eyes on a change to an easterly wind, and an increased chance of snow flurries in the east.

lou: a few thoughts on the national left-wing media and president trump. hat fake left-wing media is in the happy after edcorrectedded them and called them out. >> the press has become so dishonest. the press is out of control. the tone is such hatred. you have a lower approval rating than congress. they will say donald trump rants and raise at the present. i'm not ranting and raving. i'm just telling you, you are dishonest people. lou: the national left-wing media respond with his tear is, hyperbole and outright nasty fiction. listen to this sampling of a crazed few. >> it was unhinged, it was wild, it was sprawling, it wall as you over the place pivot was a roadmap of his mind it's a disturbing roadmap in many regards. >> if you watch the whole thing you go what's going on with this guy. it was like a guy on a couch explaining his problems to a shrink. >> when presidents take office they are in power and get bigger but you have a president in that press conference who looked smaller. lou: that'sed the inverse of what he said. the national left-wing media

the fourth largest such increase in the nation. in the most recent national assessment of educational progress known as the nation's report card, utah's fourth graders ranked eighth in the nation in math, seventh in reading and fifth in science. and utah's eighth graders are eighth in math, sixth in reading and first in the nation in science. thanks to the dedication and hard work of utah's teachers, parents, and students, we can confidently say that utah's getting a superior return on its investment in education. i'm gratified by our progress, but as you all know, we still have work to do. our strong aggregate statistics mask the challenges faced by some of our students, but i remain hopeful because i know of utah's innovative and can-do spirit. therefore, i truly do believe that utah can be number one in the nation on meaningful, measurable milestones of student achievement. i'm pleased that business leaders, parents, and educational leaders across the state are close to uniting on a program for kindergarten through post high scho

the seven nations on this list do not represent closed to the most populous muslim majority nations. there are muslim minority nations that have larger muslim populations than these nations. the seven nations were selected specifically because those countries' ability to provide effective identification screening for their citizens is poor or nonexistent. guest: first of all, thank you for your service to this country. i respectfully disagree with the claims you made area first of caseit is not at all the that a political advisor is typically on the national security team. there are occasions where advises to the president have for to be at permanent member is not practice. and the removal of the joint -- that is aff departure from the joint chiefs of staff being a permanent and regular member of the national security team, which i think is the right approach. during president told us the campaign he would enact a muslim ban. those were his words. that is what he did. he also said he would give priority to christians, again anathema to our country. most importantly, this does not mak

he heads the national security council and the national security council still doesn't have most of its staff. and late on friday night, we learned that one of the senior directors in the national security council, somebody who mike flynn had brought on board to the nsc with him, has now had to leave that post, leave the national security council all together because he was denied his request for a security clearance. we don't know why he was denied his request for a security clearance but he's out. that seems like a big deal. whether or not that is distracting to the national security adviser, whether or not it's distracting to him to have the president of the united states dangling his potential firing for everybody else's enj enment for days now, there is also national security stuff going on that does increasingly feel out of control, even wildly out of control. so we had this incident last week with the chinese plane and the american plane coming within 1,000 feet of each other in the south china sea. this was last week. this was wednesday. the last incident, before this one, betwe

the idea for the national law enforcement museum began around 2000. we are a congressionally authorized museum and the goal is to tell the story of american law enforcement which is a wide ranging story that covers a lot of different parts of the history of the united dates. the museum is mostly underground, but it has two very beautiful glass pavilions. we are in historic judiciary square. we wanted to make sure we did not interfere with the historic nature of that square. these beautiful, delicate last pavilions, you enter and go down into the museum. the museum is really trying to get the experience of being a law enforcement officer. we go through lots of gaming experiences in some way. au get to take on the role of 911 operator/dispatcher and find out what is really happening behind the scenes when you pick up the phone and called 911. you can be a detective and go through our case exhibit and learn about forensics and witnesses and interrogation and all the different aspects of being a detective and what that entails. we have an area called the j

we see the consequences that can be dangerous to our national security. e want to know by what authority did general flynn have these conversations and who did he report to after that, among the other questions that our colleagues have posed. i'm sure they'll be pleased to answer any questions you may have. >> a couple of questions. so the chairman said today it's not within your -- >> you said you found it unlikely that the president did not know about this. mike mcfaul, what about what the president could have known with mike flynnperating this way with the russians? >> again, the trump team does things differently, but think about what general flynn was talking about to ambassador kislyak. he was talking about a major policy change, lifting of sanctions on russia. i just find it hard to believe that, in a transition period, when he's just becoming the national security adviser, working with a new set of players that he doesn't know that well, that he would take that decision by himself, at least to confer with somebody in the trump circle, but most cert

it was the nation's first real experiment in interracial mockers see. is policy --hield interracial tomography. in order to shield its policy, ofgress adopted the tenure office act, barring the president from her moving certain officeholders, including cabinet members, without the consent of the senate. in february 1868, johnson removed secretary of war, edwin stanton, an ally of the radicals. the house responded by approving articles of impeachment against the president. to me, one of abraham lincoln's worst decisions was to allow the removal of hannibal hamlin as vice presidential candidate in 1864. virtually all republicans by this point consider johnson a failure as president and an obstacle to a lasting reconstruction. but some moderates disliked the prospect of elevating to the waive, ay benjamin radical, who as president pro tem of the senate would succeed johnson if johnson were in fact impeached. wade in some ways was a mayor or image of johnson in terms of personality. the final tally to convict johnson was one vote short of the two thirds nece

it is the only college to be a national treasure in the united states of america, so we celebrate this as we celebrate our 150 years. morgan is now a national treasure. its purpose, progress, promise, and our inheritance is tied to this rich legacy of a morgan state university, formally the seminary institute of 1867, and our responsibility of stewarding this legacy and these resources is something that the university takes very areas the, and all of this rich, illustrious history that you have need and heard today just underscores that morgan has always mattered, and with that, i thank you for this lecture and i will entertain any questions that you have at this time. yes? >> one thing i found very interesting, i noticed that in the past, a lot of buildings were being burned. my question is, was there any significance to that because i thatstand back in tha time, there was a lot of -- negroeso push negore --ecuas time of those negroes away in terms of culture. was there anything significant in actually burning buildings? prof. green: there are two things to note about the two burnings

inside the box are 2000 pages telling a nation how to implement a congressional resolve to clean the ional parks. after 48 drafts created with the assistance of congress, the white house, the courts, 15 government agencies, 36 states, and 383 public comments, johnny pearson's job is over. what began as a simple observation of one man through the viewfinder of a camera will shortly become a set of regulations affecting millions. although existing plants will not be required to change, future agencies must prove they will not foul the air before they build. but perhaps, most importantly, the regulation will establish clean air in our parks as a national goal. for dave hawkins, a moment to reflect after a year of conflict and compromise. >> even though we have done it, nine days are short of a year. impossible. >> yeah. well, it should not be but it is. >> yeah. >> i will see you. thanks a lot. >> in a quiet moment, reflecting on the effort to get there, a the final step in creating the regulation arrives. >> this one regulation is not by any means going to do the whole job. it is a plac

met with the entire professional staff of the national security council. i defined for them the values i want to guide the national security policies of this country. i told him that i wanted a policy that was justifiable and understandable in public as it was in secret. i wanted a policy that reflected the will of the congress as well as the will of the white house. i told him it will be no more freelancing by individuals when it comes to our national security. heard a lot about the staff of the national security council in recent months. i can tell you, they are good and dedicated government employees who put in long hours for the nation's benefit. they are eager and anxious to serve their country. one thing is still upsetting me, however. no one kept proper records of meetings or decisions. this led to my failure to recollect whether i approve an arms shipment before or after the fact. i did approve it, i just can't say specifically when. rest assured, there is plenty of record-keeping now going on at 1600 insulin you avenue. -- pennsylvania avenue. i ha

in the 1800s, the institution of slavery had spread into all corners of the nation in the sense that it was a debate that was being hotly discussed. you had the strong population of abolitionists and the strong population of proslavery supporters that were contentious over whether or not slavery should still be part of our nation's reality. when you look at the public debate about slavery, sometimes it is easy to forget the actual human reality of being an enslaved person in a place like virginia. this would have in front of a slave dale. it was in portsmouth, virginia. slaves would be chained in public to have their backs struck with some sort of leather strap as a public punishment for whatever crime their owners had deemed they were guilty of. while virginia was not necessarily a place that had the highest population of enslaved laborers in the nation, it was the hub for the domestic slave trade. it was home to numerous auction houses in which a person who was hoping to buy enslaved laborers would come to richmond with a specific purpose in mind of buying these people to then take

their bodies were found inside the national park. claimed they were poachers, so they were found inside the national park. and then they washed off their hands from those issues. they never bothered to look back into it. this amount on impunity is dangerous, because it is creating an animosity between the national park and the people living living nearby. these guards are preparing an ambush in the park. they said it was too dangerous for us tojoin them. the park explains the high death toll, saying the poachers die in shootouts with guards. this compared to the 106 people shot dead by guards over the same period. the park is being run with utmost brutality. these are "extrajudicial" executions. there's no jury, no judge, no questioning. people are being killed in these encounters. these are notjust poachers, but also local, tribal people. the terrifying thing is that there are plans to roll out this "shoot on sight" policy across the whole of india. three months on, and local people are protesting outside the park headquarters, yet a

now, we'll see whether the new national security adviser starts to change that. e heard good things about things he's doing but i'm not convinced he'll corral the process yet. >> one of the things that was reported today about the new national security adviser general mcmaster and the task ahead of him also made he feel worse about where we are now bauds there was a reorganization at the national security council that sidelined people like the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, the director of national intelligence, it brought on board the president's controversial and fairly radical chief counselor steve bannon, gave him a seat on the committee. the reporting now seems to indicate that when the changes were made, including an order signed by the president, they may have not have fully understood the implication of those changes, it may have been by accident. peter baker at the "new york times" reports today they didn't know they were sidelining the military and the intelligence community by making these changes. is -- is that conceivable to you? i suppose ign

this is the national security adviser who is trusted all around. those leaks that christy was talking about. people who are trusted by the institutions, general petraeus is on that list. so there are two or three names floating around that could stem this leak. it could be whoever is briefing the president, is someone who is tried and trustworthy. >> someone in the white house virtually from the beginning of time, in their brief time in office, has known about this. >> i think that's troubling certainly to the extent he had spoken about these sanctions. apparently there was a confrontation about it, and he was asked about it, and he obviously misled the staff and the vice president and the president. now there's repercussions on that. but that's problematic. i think russia is more comfortable with a tougher stance on russia. donald trump has never been shy to do things differently. democrats ask republicans and independents would have a stronger stance against russia. >>> breaking news coverage. when we come back, our efforts to resolve the issue wi

it is urgent for the national security to reaffirm the executive branch.ecutive branch that holds the meetings to think about trade up. it is the executive branch that does hold accountable at the polls. not the judiciary. it is urgent for the national security of the united states that we reaffirm the executives at the power. >> what if the court actually gets the power and we have precedent on the books that looking at the separation of powers because maybe we rushed and before we had an attorney general? then you will have precedent on the books that is going to be a big deal around the executive. >> the american people losing confidence in our institutions -- coke we need support. >> it is urgent that we reaffirm the question of national security. >> i think that they probably would not have done the spread of the supreme court tries to predict what anthony kennedy is going to do, good luck. >> chris: juan? >> i do not think they need to be demeaned here, i think there is an argument, and specifically an argument that touches on the role. i think the g

. >> do you believe president trump can save the world or just shake it up? national security advice from the lawyer who counsels presidents from both parties. plus, when will the supreme court get back to nine? find out which cases a new justice will hear first. could he tilt the balance of power? >> there may be a slight tinge of dissapointment. >> and thousands of children sold for sex in america -- online. >> when you are talking about the sale of a child -- >> is the law protecting the website instead of the victim? soledad: but first, are the president's national security advisors ready to meet the challenges facing the country? i'm soledad o'brien, and this is "matter of fact." to discuss on the national security front, which voters consistently rank as a top concern. first, protests continue after president trump issued an order that he called a ban on immigration from seven predominantly muslim nations. and in the third executive order of his first week in office, he made his top political advisor, steve bannon, a permanent member of the national security cou

>> i seshd at the national security council. this isn't just about national security. omplexity of the u.s. government. if you want to deal with north korea, department of state, treasury department, cia, the national security agency and elements of the department of defense. it's coordinating those people at the situation room at the white house on stuff that's incredibly complex. i'll anticipate that the white house will name somebody quickly. with the north korean missile launch you have to have someone at the white house coordinating those -- >> i know bob harrward, great guy, a great guy, i think he'd be terrific. >> that's the high praise. >> here's the void, we need to know the flows of russian money. that's indispensable national security information and we don't have that. >> david, you have pointed out now more than ever the power of the free press is on display. that's how we all know about this morning. panel, thank you very much for the expertise. chris? >> flynn and manafort both resigned over their deals with russia, was did that mean? we need to keep dig

he made news yesterday on "face the nation." he was talking about the immigration executive order, about the court ruling, the refusal of the court to lift the temporary stay in place on the enforcement of that order. and steven miller said put this up on the screen, the end result of this is that our opponents, the media and the whole world will soon see as we take further actions that the powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial and will not be questioned. that phrase right there, will not be questioned, has received a lot of attention since he made that on sunday. it's raised the question, i'll give you a chance to answer here, does the white house -- does this administration respect the power of the courts to review presidential decisions? >> yes, they do. and steven miller does as well. what he is saying is will not be questioned. what he means is it's a lot of latitude, great authority. and in the case of president trump, steve, he believes he doesn't just have the authority under the statute 1882

remember the bodies of the rank and file rarely returned home. those innovative national military cemeteries eventually received three fourths of all union dead who were buried in all sorts of improvisational ways during the war. an important audience for kensington's gesture was potential volunteers. theugh the monument, families.upport for the monument was dedicated shortly after congress enacted the enrollment act of 1863 which put pressure on municipalities from the north to find more volunteers or else face of federal draft. the system of prodding localities with the process of requirement -- of recruitment was not genuine national conscription. than 2 million men who served in the army, only about 50,000 work on scripts, on the order of 2%. that is because northern $5icipalities spent about million in recruitment incentives. they encouraged enlistment, but lots of monuments were the cap stands for recruitment and results. this mediated between personal local memories of individuals and public powers. before we move from the wartime presidents into the postwar era, i

storyls the nation's through the lens of african people, but it is the nation's story. host: i want to talk about you because you are a judge in the d.c. circuit court of appeals. you quit your job many years ago with two young children, what did your wife say? luckily, she did say i'm divorcing you. she was very supportive. to live off of our savings and a lot of beans and cornbread and go from two salaries to one when i left my job and she was seven months pregnant with our second child but as a quest. we saw it as something that needs to happen, just like the holocaust museum needed to happen to him at museum of the american indian needed to happen. we need to find a way to support efforts to make this museum happened. host: what motivated you to do this? judge wilkins: i think there are a lot of things. inas a public defender here washington, and i dealt with so much tragedy every day. i had so many clients who were young people who didn't have much hope, didn't have much self-esteem, who were african-american and didn't have any sense that their people have contribu

remarkably, since the five nations became the six nations, only once in that era have scotland won theirying catch up. this time, they are reading from the front. yes, good start for scotland. the champions england have started the defence of their title they kicked off at ten to five against france at twickenham. england completed the grand slam in paris last year but the french have made life very difficult for eddie jones' men. they were fortunate to be level at the break after an under—par display. elliott daly pulled them level from 50 metres. 9—9 the score at half—time. it looked as though england's unbeaten run under eddiejones was coming to an end then there was this try with ten minutes to go. a couple of minutes to go, england were reading 19—16 —— leading. a really tight one at twickenham. england also start their campaign in the women's six nations this evening. they'll play france at twickenham staright after the mens match. england were denied the grand slam by the french last year, france winning the title. they've since turned professional, and captain sarah hunter says v

did he tell the national security adviser? that is a very important unanswered question because if he did tell them, then that means from the top on down, they've been sitting on this information for a long time while the national security adviser has been doing his job, been in the most sensitive of feeting inmeetings and discuss with the president, even though he clearly misled the president and the vice president. if the white house counsel didn't tell anybody, why? so in either case, it is something that is unclear and it really leaves even more questions than answers. and it is certainly something i'd imagine that the white house press secretary is going to get asked about and probably it's hard to imagine is not being discussed as we speak inside the white house as they try to contain and deal with the fallout and what could be just another example of deep, deep communications issues inside the white house. or an example of the president just wanting to stay loyal to somebody who has been loyal to him. we don't know the a
