protecting the public living in the city of new york. i don't see it's a negotiation. i feel strongly that the concept of sharing, a sense of community, being responsible for each other and being responsible citizens. it's being exploited by marketing companies who have decided that using the term sharing can mask what is going on. . it, in motor other sis around the world, they recognise companies like air b&b platforms like ours are helping the citizens, experiencing new thinks. they are embracing the things of finding out where to draw smart lines. it's the only thing we need to work on. >> in new york, where most air b and b rentals are illegal, there may be more than that to work on. new yorkers like john reid don't end up singing the blues. >>> next - show down in sin city. the popular ride-sharing service uber wants to get rolling on the los angeles strip. taxi cap companies are fighting to put the breaks on uber. >> it's the way things are done in this town. at the same time, it's frustrating for someone trying to enter the market. >> next week on the programme

in new york a committee of black women in new york city in 1850s was holding these fares to raise money to help the fugitives. so it was both an interracial and male and female working to assist fugitive slaves in the northern states. >> host: i'm always struck by the fact that abolitionists are anti-slavery, many of them are also anti-black. how do you explain this? >> guest: you know racism as you know of course was deeply embedded in northern as well as southern society in the 19th century, and this is something that i often find it difficult to explain our students it's difficult to understand the how can you be anti-slavery and also races at the same time? first of all there are plenty of reasons to oppose slavery had nothing to do with race. you can think it's an economic drag on the country. you can think that unit and it gives the south too much political power and they block laws and northerners water. you can take as many people did that you don't want slavery going into the western territories because you don't like black people. people who want to settle in kansas or places

there's still one more edition that the "new york herald" publishes on this day. it is the 3:30 edition and it announces information about funeral preparations. although that is happening pretty swiftly. but the most striking thing it reports is that booth had been captured, which in fact is not true, because booth is not captured for another 11 days. he is on the lam. and he has successfully evading authorities for a good bit of time. so, it has false reports in it as well. there were self-report -- false reports that secretary of state stewart had been assassinated. they do that throughout. so this last one has that, a false report. many of the reports in these newspapers come from the ap, the associated press, which we still have today. and it was established in 1846 a conglomerate of five newspapers pooling resources. the herald being one of them. they wanted to make sure that they got as much information from around the country as they possibly could. and it really rises to importance during the civil war. you can see it is at the apex of its early significan

but my apologies, that's new york city. okay, this is baltimore. this is new york or baltimore. i'm a little confused here, and i'm told now that this is new york city, and we have at least one person who is being arrested. we understand that that demonstration, this is the same location as union square as in new york city. and melissa chan is following that, and we'll reach out for that situation but at least one arrest there in new york city. we have a live picture from new york city, and we have one from paula and so we have demonstrations breaking out in minneapolis in support of what's happening in baltimore and we have a demonstration in new york in support of what's happening in baltimore and what's happening in baltimore right now? >> well, tony, as you say there's a mixed picture. and that's a good way to characterize what's happening in baltimore. we had a police convoy and tactical vehicles rolling through, and this is in pennsylvania the last several days and i don't know if it's on the way to the other demonstration, but things happening here and it's still tense a

baltimore protests sparking controversy in new york city. david lee is on the streets of new york. david lee? >> greta, we are in new york's union square. the organizers of this rally, and take a look at it for yourself have billed it as the lancasterest protest rally and the most peaceful in the history of new york there are only about 2,000 people. i say only 2,000 because we have seen much more than that in recent months for other antipolice rallies. so far this rally has been nothing but peaceful. one of the prevailing themes from this rally that we have heard speaker after speaker those in new york city must show solidarity with those in baltimore. wuvment chants the crowd has repeated over and over is that black lives matter. also during the demonstration taking place here in union square, greta there has been a lot of outrage and frustration focus canned on new york city police department. here in great number, you you can see them for yourself lining the street here the peripheral area along union square are the hundreds and hundreds of new york city police. before this ral

look like the city of new york, the population of the city of new york. you talk to any cuny professor, and the reason we stay at cuny for the incredibly high wages and working conditions -- [laughter] is because of the wonderful students we get to teach. >> wonderful. well, thank you all for coming out. i get the pleasure of writing about angela davis who um, like many of the women on this panel many of the subjects of the biographies is, of course, a very well known and legendary activist, but she's still with us today. so angela davis is still making history. she's a contemporary figure as well as a historic figure. so that makes my task as a biographer really, really interesting. so angela davis as you may know -- and you may have actually gone and seen her. she comes to new york quite often. she gives presentations and speeches and seminars at universities as well as for the general public. but she is well nope for her activism -- known for her activism in the 19 60s as part of the communist party, as part of the black power movement and as part of t

joe becker's piece in the "new york times" this morning. >> so do you think, howard, that the "new yorkmes" is like a right wing hit piece against hillary clinton? >> first of all, i think the accusations are somewhat different between bush and clinton assuming this is what is going on. the accusations about hillary are that she -- that the clinton foundation took nonprofit cash, none of which went into their pocket and then in quid pro quo, she supposedly did something for all these donors that gave to these causes. >> but -- >> can i finish joe? >> but you've said it so i'll add a little footnote on that. they also get paid money by some of these people for giving speeches, $550,000. >> that's true. >> but you say -- i have to put the footnote on the second time you do that talking point. >> i think that's a la skrit mate inquiry. but the allegation about jeb bush, and i'm not saying any of these are true is that he personally made money by dealing with all these folks. nonetheless, this is the problem here. i'm not going to accuse the "new york times" of having bias. they do everybod

the new york herald is working to get information to people. in the second edition, the main thing is the new information it reveals, that they have identified john wilkes booth as the assassin. the next edition as an 8:45 edition and it actually is the first to announce the death of the president. this comes out just 90 minutes after the death. so that is really fast. you know that the telegraph wires were just on fire between washington and new york to get that kind of information out and around and for them to get it in the newspaper. one of the exciting things for us and for lincoln scholars everywhere is that this was an addition that was previously unrecorded to modern historians. it is a newspaper we have had in our collection for a long time. but we just sort of uncovered it significance during the force of doing some resorts -- some research in creating this exhibit. it had long been thought that there were six editions of the new york herald, and historians and scholars had believed that for decades, but we were able to unearth this f

i mean, you worked for the new york times. >> i would say the new york times actually did a pretty good job on the issue of the children in chinatown through a series of immigration reporters that i actually, you know... i don't think i worked on any of those stories directly. >> hinojosa: but is it still seen kind of in the media that this is... that the chinese, the asian population, is, like, this foreign population, and therefore not american, and therefore... >> i think part of... i will say that chinatown as chinatown gets a surprising amount of coverage, not just in, you know, new york city, but in cities all over the united states, in part because of this exotic factor, for better or for worse. so if there's a crime or there is some kind of movement or there is some kind of building or there's a conflict, in certain kind of things they'll cover pretty well, compared to other immigrant groups, like, let's say, koreans or... korean americans or certain kinds of... like, maybe even south asian americans, i think partially because almost every major city has a chinatown or something
