i'm an urban league or they think that the urban league as a whole has a very large young professionals group and training for advocacy not only in terms of building it online in these social media channels but actually doing the work in your communities as well my question though would be around bridging the gap because this existed during the civil rights movement as well we saw a lot of these younger leaders who emerged in leaders of a different generation weren't necessarily always the most open and welcoming to them as they came through martin luther king actually faced a lot of this in addition to. people who look just like him as these younger leaders emerge what are some ways that they can build that connectivity between the older branch to already have this embedded understanding and i've gone through several iterations of the civil rights movement at this point but also helping move into what the future looks like well you know change agents are always going to have struggles and there are powers out there that don't want this to happen and so i think that it's very much being

what is the urban league's interest here?d a bake sale and it was successful and it was focused on our young profe professionals who are mainly between the ages of 20 and 40. i think the important take away here is that there were gaps in satisfaction with many companies. for far too many african-americans rated the company lower than others did. so the it's a bit of a wake up call, but also a tool ta any responsible chief executive officer and business leadership team can use to understand how their company is doing, how their company is resognating with the customer experience level. so rob had innovated in a very important way to sort of marry the capabilities of charities and not for profits with big data in a way that can be an instructive tool for corporate america. >> to you derive revenue from this project >> we've derived revenue like many other not for profits based on the participation of our members. when they participate, we receive a small amount of money. it's to focus on non-profits and their members as the pl

2020 and enact the kind of policies that the national urban league cares about? >> i think the voters are processing that very question, who can win and what would their agenda be and will their agenda help african-americans and help the nation at large? and that is the internal debate that's taking place. what biden has going for him is, that endorsement by jim clyburn that i watched as you all carried it live, was powerful in its timing, in its message. he said joe biden knows us. and i think that you see that reflected in his polling and that is the long-standing relationship which breeds -- look, is this, can we trust that someone will do what they say versus promise us extravagantly and deliver to us meagerly because they don't have the ability to win or to deliver. and voters, african-american voters and i think many voters in the democratic coalition are evaluating that. it's a balancing test. i think what comes out of south carolina is does this become a two-person race, does it become a biden/bernie sort of race where they're pushing ahead on super tuesd

. >> reporter: otha meadows, president and ceo of the charleston trident urban league said those inequalities could turn voters in charleston away from the polls in 2020. >> how many folk in the african american community actually go out and exercise their right to vote? i think a lot of african american don't feel officials are making policy and decisions in their best interests. they are disenfranchised. >> reporter: the city of charleston has been working to bridge the gap. in 2018, the city council formally passed a resolution to apologize for its role in slavery by a vote of 7-5. it was a win some celebrated as a sign of how far charleston has come. for over, like councilman william dudley gregory, the close margin represented how far charleston still has to go. >> we as a modern day council at a minimum should recognize the errors of the ways of our predecessors and attempt to make things whole while we can. >>> two senior citizens are recovering in a northern california hospital this morning. they were rescued after being lost in the woods for a week. jamie yuccas reports. >> reporter:

he has been a constant picture -- fixture in the urban league.closely with him when i was mayor and he was in the u.s. senate. it is a long-standing relationship that breeds a degree of trust that gives him an advantage. now, people will evaluate on a range of issues. i will say anyone who has been in politics a long time is going to have votes, initiatives, or issues that they may not be happy, they may want to walk back, they may have regrets for. in this instance, there is no such thing as a perfect candidate for african-american voters or perfect candidate who in effect captures the totality of the democratic coalition. so the process is going to continue. i think super tuesday will be important. i suspect that biden will be successful in south carolina given that i think the latest polls are. david: let's assume that is right. what about virginia? a super tuesday state that has a substantial african-american population stop we have new polls indicating mr. biden is doing relatively well in virginia. could he do particularly well in virginia

while working in a residential group home for the urban league, made him realize a career in law enforcement was his calling. he was driven by a desire to make a bigger impact in the community and beyond. by making kegses with young people before they were in trouble. that led him to the orlando police department where over his 22-year career, he rose through the ranks and was appointed deputy chief in 2017. throughout his career, canty's devotion to improved community and police relations in his hometown has been driving his ideals. canty's hallmark is leadership by example. that leadership was in the spotlight most in june of 2016. when a deranged gunman killed 49 people and injured scores more in the act of terror and hate at the pulse nightclub. as commander of orlando police department swat team, canty directed team members while they rescued survivors and helped to ensure no more innocent people were killed. over the years, canty's community involvement strides have been just as important as those he made in crime fighting. in march, 2019, sheriff john w. mina appointed canty as the un

you know that is an excellent example and that is one of the things that we do at the chicago urban league we have a focus on housing but we also understand as a number of folks have talked about sometimes you just don't have the information and being a community based organization and green right in the community we are able to connect veterans to the housing needs that they have. to the health care needs that they have, so while there are a lot of opportunities they don't always know them. >> at stage actually we have a program called sage vets. one of the programs we see because discrimination against lgbtq people in the military historically, we have many lgbt folks that have served but have not access desperately needed veteran benefits, this is one of the great things we do have a great system of veteran health and benefits so you do little work trying to connect people to the benefits and allow our veterans to come from our communities to reclaim that sense of pride from their service. we just want to let our audience know in about a minute or so we have time for you and i, so think

it's education, whether it's trying to get into unions where we were previously excluded in the urban league have a lot of folks out there right now pushing for more representation and c suites. and -- on boards. and there is a sense that there -- we're in a place where we can get to that point. but then you have two candidates out here with a lot of anti-corporate rhetoric and i wonder if that plays into it also. >> well, let's build on that. and i'm curious very much so what you think about that because what you are speaking about is a part of modern, black american culture that certainly -- success as a way to overcome. but then there is obviously also the rich tradition of civil rights and expecting or making the government try to make good on the historic racism that defines race relations in america. and one of those things is about the government. and the other is really about the market. if you are looking at heroes that say, okay, no, we're going to do this for ourselves. >> sure. and to maria's point, fratthe african-american electorate is complicated and diverse. but one of the th

urban air because of the way it's laid out. richard westcott, bbc news, milton keynes. football now, and liverpool's men are the runaway premier leagueol fc women are currently struggling against relegation from the women's super league. it's led some to question the level of investment in the women's team compared to the tens of millions spent on their male counterparts. jane dougall reports. it's a cold night in chester. the home team have just lost a 3—2 to arsenal women and they are facing a relegation battle. but the team in red isn't a small club. it's liverpool. their men's side are the champions league holders, top of the premier league by a considerable margin, and they are also building a new £50 million training complex. but currently, there are no plans to accommodate the women's team there. is there not? i didn't know that. that's a shock. that's not good, is it? it's disrespectful in a way, isn't it? i think in today's modern game, they should be sharing facilities, yeah. we need quite a lot more equality and diversity, and part of that is, i think, they should be investing in the women's team. this isn't liverpool wome
