so i am not just a daughter from the south side of the mother from the south side of the lawyer and executived i am a first lady from the south side of chicago and that is why this project is so incredibly important to me and my husband. it allows us to live out the values we learn right here and that is to give back something big and important and meaningful to the community is given us so much. so for us the obama presidential center means a lot more than just creating a space to house memories number eight years in the white house. this substantial investment in the south side will help make the neighborhood where we call home, destination and for the entire world. but more importantly this project as the governor said, will be a vital resource for the people who live right here, the opc will be a place for the folks can find work and more kids can learn and grow and envision a bigger lives for themselves. where families can walk and ride a bike or have a reunion in the grass. where everyone can find home and beauty and peace and safety. when i was a little girl, even younger than zell wil

the 1898 coup was a pivotal event not just north carolina but the entire south. it cemented white supremacy as state and state policies for the next 60 years and inspired whites across the south to use violence and terror the black vote and black majority city into white supremacist, wilmington was 66% black in 1998, in fact, it had the highest population, the highest black population among any major city in the south at the today. today wilmington is 18% black. after the coup, black citizens did not vote in significant numbers in almost 70 years until after passage of the voting rights act in 1965. now, in 1996 two years before the coup, there were 126,000 registered black voters, 126,000. by 1902 just four years after the coup, the number had been cut to 6,000. so you can see how effective this coup was in just destroying the ability for black men to vote. in 1891 there was just one black in congress in either the senate or the house. george henry white from a north carolina district next to wilmington. white supremacists hounded congressman white and his family

look, i reflect the sensibilities of the people of the south bronx. utter concerns like health and safety, schools and jobs. you know, when i won my primary injune of 2020, i publicly said that i would not be here were it not for my mother who struggled and sacrificed and suffered so that i could have a better life. she raised you as a single mum in substandard public housing, which, frankly, made you ill because there was so much mould and damp. you had two brothers who were imprisoned. you had friends who lost their lives to drugs. you came out as a teenager as gay in a community which didn�*t accept the idea that you could be or should be gay. i�*m just wondering at what point in that very difficult upbringing you decided, "hey, i want to be a politician." well, the formative experience of my life was growing up in public housing. and in new york city, public housing is the greatest safety net of affordable housing that we have. the new york city housing authority, commonly known as nycha, which manages public housing here in new york, houses a popu

africa. >> the president says de klerk helped put south africa onhe path to democracy. >> he was a leader of a party that was largely discredited in relation to the role that the party played in forcing apartheid, but he had the courage to step away from the part that his party that he led had embarked upon. >> let's bring in our guests. all of them join us from johannesburg. a senior research fellow at africa and asia dialogues, a political analyst and author of "no white lies: black politics and white power," and the president of congress for the people and member of south african parliament. welcome to you all. why is it that people in south africa continue to be divided about the legacy of de klerk? >> former president de klerk has been a divisive figure for the fact that he was the leader of the dominant political party. it would -- it was inevitable his death would court divided opinion. him being the last apartheid president, again, it became obvious that at his death, he was likely to court controversy. currently, the majority of south afric

the driver of the south western train is still in hospital. o suggest he did try to stop the train. the weather had been poor and with it being autumn there were leaves on the line making it slippery. although brazil is backing the deforestation deal, tree clearance has soared to a 12 year high under president bolsonaro. it means the amazon rainforest — one of the world s greatest defences againstclimate change ? is under growing attack. from hon—don—iya state in the brazilian amazon our international correspondent, 0rla guerin reports. the amazon dream — a forest haven combating climate change. but the reality can look like this. no more tree canopy, the land stripped bare for planting crops. we were shown how easy it is to plunder the amazon, just one man and a chainsaw. campaigners say illegal loggers have a green light from president jair bolsonaro. they accuse him of carving up environmental protections and fuelling climate change. miguel isn't worried about the planet, he's worried about his family. his handiwork, seen from above. every t

the south african currency, the rans, already lost its value. after the announcement of the new variant, the government says south africa has been at the forefront of testing and tracking changes in code 19. and scientists have stressed it's important to see what the data on the new variant will show before making any decision. and that sentiment trickle down to the general public with many believes of africa being treated unfairly. the government is worried, the global reaction has caused unnecessary panic. it says it's begun talks with the european union and the united kingdom on the latest round of travel bands saying other countries didn't receive the same treatment. when you variance would take to elsewhere. for me to mila i'll to 0 johannesburg now. lane is that f d, me ologist and us public health official. he told us he understands the south african position, but governments are right to act on what they know so far. you have a variant which has about 30 mutations on the spike protein, so that alone is alarming. there's concerned because

particularly across the south. there's some version of a lot of this business about lynching in probably every state -- where state slavery was legal at the time of the civil war. not all left the union. there was this tremendous fear. if you can spread fear, you can capture the attention of almost anybody. it was every african-american male is a potential rapist. we have to protect our southern women. one of the things that gave me a little bit of a chuckle in the book was when the legislature of north carolina is discussing laws and the comment was made that they better not go too far into this one because most of the white members of the legislature are probably guilty. >> exactly. >> that did give me a small chuckle that they were going after themselves in all of this about -- >> it was a white judge who made that comment. it shut down all attempts to pass that law. they quit after that. the term they used in the newspapers to incite whites was the black beast rapists. they planted all these phony stories about

we were saving the south. >> white women, yeah. >> white women, especially. one of the things that you said in the book, and i will have to paraphrase it, but it was something that even though that slavery had ended with the civil war and white people understood that slavery did not exist, that black people were still black and that was what made all the difference to these folks. and it was -- it was so totally racially motivated. and, so, you know, i am a little bit curious to find out a little bit more about what happened in wilmington after world war i when we have the riot in tulsa and the rejuvenation of the klan at stone mountain, stone mountain, georgia and the 1920s planned convention in washington where they proudly marched down pennsylvania avenue. so i'm very interested in learning a little bit more about that because this was only one of these massacres that took place. >> right. >> and there were -- there were lots of these kinds of things across this. so tell us here in the two minutes we've got left, what do you hope your readers will take away

africans to adapt to the new south africa. and so it was important that that relationship between the 2 of them and that cooperation was seen by all south africans across color lines. and simply just to adapt and to avoid any potential chaos from it or thank you so much. during the military talking to was life from johannesburg. ah.

what does his passing mean for the theatre of south africa? is it likely to further raise the debate about how to move forward and turn the chapter of the years of apartheid? 1000000 of ours, who embraced who embraced the resolution of our country here, believed that even gave us an opportunity to preserve available resources and yours and bout, to educate and train large sessions or for the population of our country. so that we could use them and use their capacities to reconstruct our society and rebuild it on the foundations of what we inherited from daddy or them for no one can deny that there we inherited the country with significant infrastructure on which we could have built and advised much, much quicker than most of the african countries and there, and in this way, we would have, would have salvaged huge numbers of the people of our country. and we would have made quite since what seemed to be a bit worse situation. we would have moved it was march. first, i could see where you were were, what were which direction you are going under t

second main the that the mentioned not very on south african soil. he put in the not the african seat that she bought. the black family still do not know today remains of the children big brother the father and mother have been very result in w, mozilla. the fact that south africans remained divided by this legacy one who some people say that this is someone all over. so the transition to democracy other say no, this was, this was someone who was instrumental in the continuation of the segregationist system of apartheid. what does it tell about south africa? does it say anything about the fact that the wounds of the past still remain there in your country? i think is very important there. when we look at the life of a single individual who of yours, there was a very important position towards the end of his life to see what should he have prioritized in the closing years of our lives, live prisons were a mom concerned about how to get out of the trip that accommodated, placed one of us, many people had already lost their lives along the road. we trave

even in the south, even among the slaveholders themselves. they viewed upon slavery is a good thing. the assertion slavery was a positive good, we still have a long way and that would come until the 1830s and a most people feel of the thomas jefferson's and george washington, and most virginia slaveholders, they believed slavery was a part of life in an institution they had inherited they were crazy about it. fun of things were equal, it would've been happy but there it was. so it was one of those things in life that was required and they can't make the southern economy operate that way they thought the southern economy to operate. northerners looked at it as a necessary evil as well but in their case, was necessary was easy to focus on the evil thought was that by the time of abraham lincoln was born in 18 oh nine, slavery has become essentially a southern institution. and probably again for the reminder that they would often take a position in the make them sound to the south is simply considered himself more than hundred superior to the no

the second was comfortably encamped on the south side. of the nand cleansing of the james and then hancock remained on the north side communicating by signal and that this is an important point as in most military operations i don't succeed, there are a series of mistakes and misunderstandings. this is what and it was critical. hancock confirmed to mead that his core had three days of russians on hand and would not be out of food that night. so all the engineers and they ferried across the river grant boarded steamer met with butler to outline the plans for the attack angry and told butler that he would be solely responsible for the attack because he would read provision before marching toward petersburg and then stalled on the north side of the chickahominy weather on —- river, but there would be responsible for providing those rations. 60000 of them. grant says without this precaution and that the services of this core meaning hancock cannot be had for an emergency tomorrow this utterly implied he consider the participation of june 15 o

africa, which 1st identify the very end. and south africa is complaining about the way is being treated since the less in the world to the very end. it's government says country should be congratulating it's not punishing it. the richest news agency is reporting that 6 cities soldiers have been killed in an attack by ethiopian forces . it happened at a sudanese army post near the border. the military said in a statement, groups of the ethiopian army and militias attacked its forces in alpha shocker al sugar, which resulted in death. samuel get a job is an independent journalist. he has more nor from addis ababa. this is a disputed area that your parents claim is part of the field. surely the regional district needs claim it us there on. but there was an agreement during the t p and left, which granted the village to this danny side, but allowed the most b, e t o ben horace who died without any kind of restriction that says this prime minister came to power and the t p left last time of its power, there has been a condition that it rea

them to the south. and what was happening is that sherman and grant were winning the war, anyway, and the john brown and the abraham lincoln news coming together towards the end of the war certainly did, partly through president douglas. >> yeah, i love that meeting where he comes to meet with lincoln in february of '65 and says we need a black army to go into the south, and according to what he says, he says this is the eyed that i have been waiting for someone to bring to me. and they get permission a few weeks later. let me ask you about lincoln's love of literature and humor. can you talk about his love of those things as a young man and how they developed? and more of it's impact on it's later life. >> his example of somebody, and i think it still applies today, but he had less than 1 year of school there. but he was inif i nately curious. he didn't have that many books on the problem tier, but he grew up reading as much as he could. and he had such a steel trap memory, he could read a poem a coupl

so that's what we're hearing from the south african president. of course, part of what he's talking about is the issue of south africa being effectively shut off. and other countries in southern africa being shut off from the rest of the world have decided to put in travel bands. lot of that's happening in europe. nave . barker has this report on the situation across the continent from land. the on the con, variance is in europe with every passing hour. more cases are detected with a single largest number of infections found on to flight that arrived here at amsterdam shipple airport on friday from cape town, and johannesburg of the 624 passengers on board. $61.00 tested positive for cove at 19. the more than a dozen half the omicron variant, all and now isolating all the percent 100 percent of the people who return from southern africa will be contacted. we also asked the municipalities to visit 100 percent of the people at home to check whether they are really isolating the on the corn variance now being identified in germany, italy, the u. k. d

the south in the union.slavery isn't like the entire issue. >> pushback? comments? we will continue tomorrow. >> you are a thinker. that is for sure. >> the wedge is the slavery issue, right? i think we agree on that. it's just a way of describing it. good job. go, go, go. >> we're spending a lot of time telling the story on civil war and the reconstruction in your eighth grade class. why? >> because i think we have not adequately, you know, understood who we are as a nation. there's so much of this history that has been way too difficult for this country to look at. the reason it's important to understand this history is because we carry it within us. these things need to be unpacked and looked at and talked about, and we need to decide what we think about them now. it's challenging, but it's where the juice is. >> we call it the war of 20 states here. we don't call it the civil war. >> why is it important to call it the war between the states? >> because that's what it was. >> it wasn't part of the civil w

las gatos and other counties in the south bay. you will be charged if you go over your water amount. >> the worst part about this, we have more rain coming in, jeff. >> we still need so much more. it's going to be tough to get out of this rain season, but yes, more rainfall coming our way. i also did want to say, really, any time we're in a drought, the south bay, santa clara valley, they'll be hit the hardest because of how many times storms break up before they get to the south bay and how many times they're in what we call a rain shadow when we get atmospheric rivers. so south bay, when we're in a drought, it's always going to be worse for you. and for climate you're always considered semi-arid. tonight might be a little difficult, it's been gloomy today. tomorrow will be offered some sunshine and a little bit of fog for the morning. let's watch how this plays out. we have all that high cloud cover we dealt with today, but watch how that sweeps out tomorrow morning. some of us will be starting with some sunshine for the commute

last hour, he demanded that the global community relaxed travel restrictions on souths are completely unjustified and unfairly discriminate against our country and our southern african sister countries. the prohibition of travel is not informed by science, nor will it be effective in preventing the spread of this variant. the only thing the prohibition on travel will do is to further damage the economies of the affected countries and undermine their ability to respond to and also to recover from the pandemic. we call upon these countries that have imposed travel bans on our country and our other southern african sister countries to immediately and urgently reverse their decisions and lift the bands they have imposed before any further damage is done and our economies and to the livelihoods of our people. there is no scientificjustification whatsoever for keeping these restrictions in place. we know that this virus, like all viruses, does mutate and form new variants. we also know that the likelihood of the emergence of more severe forms of variants is increasing signif

he was seen as if it are in the north, victorious but in the south he was seen as magnanimous because in victory he gave dignity to those soldiers. he let them leave with their gun in their horse. he offered personal support for the generals who he knew from fighting with before and offered to help them out as far as getting them back on their feet so he was considered even in the south is somebody who was well respected to the point of his presidential library at mississippi state at the university which is near pittsburgh. near vicksburg. >> he's like the anti-politician and this was really interesting but reveal who grant voted for four president when grant ran for president. >> he's did not vote for himself. he wrote in names and he was not a self promoter at all. in the least. he was this guy that was so self-deprecating and so self-effacing that before he's running for president and by the way it comes from his mom who despised pomp and circumstance and formality to the point where she was seen sweeping her front porch when he was being inauguration. she did not go to the inaugu

oh, one highway 2.80, is 82 as you cross across the lower end of the peninsula into the south bay. some wet conditions sprinkles picking up in santa clara and a little bit on the heavier side out to the east in northeast of san jose from milpitas up to freeman is a showed you a second ago, north bay your first spot to be drying out. definitely quieter across both marine sonoma and napa counties. few remaining sprinkles right around napa itself. and if we zoom out just a touch again, you can see solano county mostly south and east of 80 out towards rio. vista is one of those spots in the north bay. that is still holding on to some light showers overall, though we've definitely see conditions coming down and this next area of rainfall is already on its way out. moving in quickly about to be moving out quickly as well. so an early morning dose of rain that really isn't going to be sticking around for too terribly long that means our early commuters are really getting the slickest of conditions later, commuters will start to dry out 50's and 60's for our current temperatures. as for the
