press conference, it's important to note that the british prime minister made it clear that the united kingorrow dom is not going to be lifting sanctions against russia until certain steps are made in the ukranian peace process, the so-called minsk accords. she made that very clear and at the least donald trump at the press conference seemed to tacitly agree with. >> all right. ivan watson, thank you so much. >>> for more on donald trump's meetings, let's bring in eugene scott. he's live in london. mr. trump has spoken to several leaders, so let's first talk about mr. trump's conversation with the british prime minister. she had a lot to accomplish in this meeting with the u.s. president from reassuring that there is a strong relationship between the united states and united kingdom, also reaffirming that the two nations are solidly in support of nato. how is her meeting being perceived across the pond? >> reporter: well, it depends on who you're speaking with. there are certainly people who are hoping that the prime minister focuses on establishing the best trade relationship with the unit

we can unite and do even more than dr. king was able to do. dr. king set a great tone for us and left souse much to work with in terms of love and peace and justice and connected it not just with black and white but also with our brothers and our sisters in other parts of the world. i think they're owl there, they're standing to see what we're going to do here to help resolve our challenges and bring them in to help to do the same. in the united states and in their countries. >> how do you think dr. king would speak to issues, like the pervasive crime problem we see roiling cities in our countries, cities like chicago, like baltimore, maryland? or the gap in wealth between the rich and the poor? how do you think king would have approached those kinds of issues today? >> bob's looking at me. >> i response from me. so i was sitting thinking how to advance some of what has happened with technology and our ability to see more of what's happening. i think that dr. king would be really upset about the way law enforcement treats people of color. i think

king iii at this opportunity over at trump tower. they had an important meeting especially on this special day here in the united states, martin lutherjr. day. >> i think he clearly wanted to avoid questions about his tweet, about john lewis. and i think what he wanted his guest to do was to lower the temperature for him which is exactly what martin luther king iii was trying to do. he did say john lewis was action, not just talk. but he did talk about how both sides need to kinds of cool it a little bit as you head into a new administration. and so in many ways maybe it was better coming from him than it was -- it would be coming from donald trump himself. >> that's a good point, dana. david chall onis with us as well. dana, your reaction? >> i think as usual gloria is dead right, that you know, it doesn't -- look. it would have been a nice photoon for donald trump to stand next to mlk, iii. he understands imagery and perhaps for him to just stand there it might look forced and fake and for him to walk away and let the guy with the famous name do it for him and the man that we are celebrating today it makes a huge difference. >> bec

king became the youngest ever recipient of the nobel peace prize. "i accept the nobel prize for peace at a moment when 22 million negroes of the united states are engaged in a creative battle to end the long night of racial injustice." king was determined to keep fighting for what he regarded as the ultimate prize, a dismantling of jim crow laws designed to suppress the black vote. he was invited to the white house upon his return from oslo and asked the newly elected president, lyndon johnson, for his support. "he thanked president johnson for the courtesy as he said but people need the right to vote and johnson in effect said, 'if i could, i would give you the right to vote but i can't grant you the right to vote unilaterally and congress could if they would but they won't." so in january, 1965, king took the struggle to the streets of selma, alabama, where only two percent of the city's 15,000 eligible black voters were registered. "and when we talk about marching by the thousands, we always prepare ourselves for the follow up. if it is necessary we are willing and must be willing to go to jail by the thousands in alabama." king was again arrested a

that no person holding an office of trust or profit under the united states shall receive any present, emolument, office or salary from any king, prince or foreign state. there's not a lot of case law on this, because every president going back to george washington has thought, okay, i need to divest myself of my assets so i can put it in a blind trust, put them in a blind trust so that i don't have any emoluments issues coming to me, but that's not what's happening here. so we're not sure exactly what the supreme court will say, but it's pretty clear that an emolument is any kind of gift that comes to you because of your office, and anytime someone comes to stay in a trump hotel, for instance, in washington, d.c., so that they can say to the president, i'm staying in your hotel, isn't that great, or i'm holding an event in your hotel so i can impress the president. that's going to cause a potential emoluments clause violation.
