however, a leading muslim lgbt campaigner in birmingham says the protesters' message has already been harmful. >> pure and simple for me, it's 100% that they are homophobic. even though they're saying they're not homophobic. there are about 700 pupils there. 600 children were withdrawn. there's going to be a handful of children who are going to identify potentially as part of the lgbt community. and i think for them it will be pushing them maybe back into the closet, as it were, making them feel fearful or insecure within themselves. >> reporter: as pressure grows on park field school to permanently drop the lessons, the award-winning teacher who created the no outsiders program says he's received death threats, which the police are investigating. >> all i'm doing is teaching children about different family models and making sure that any child who does have two mums or two dads, they know that their family is normal, it's accepted and it's welcome in school. >> reporter: a message that some conservative parts of this birmingham neighborhood find hard to accept, but the lessons have t

he's from the university of birmingham and founder and editor of ea world review. i want to begin with mr. pompeo, what he was saying about venezuela, saying we want to create conditions so people want to stay in venezuela and not leave, yet. the u.s. is pulling aid from other countries, countries that were reporting statistics making gains as the aid was pulled. these are countries seeing citizens amass on the u.s. border. i want to get your perspective on that policy. >> i think there's two separate issues. one is the venezuela crisis. that is more than 3 million venezuelans. 10% of the country has left amid the economic catastrophe, but they have gone to neighboring countries, brazil and columbia. pompeo is the united states is trying to get aid but the maduro government is blocking it. there very, very real problems in venezuela, why that regime may not be legitimate. what you pointed out, when it comes to the other countries, the united states, under donald trump's order, they have cut all assistance, assistance to anti-violence programs, job creation programs

after i left nan, i spent the afternoon and evening in birmingham at brian stevenson's museum and memorial, which looks at lynching all over the united states from about 1875 right up until 1950. and that is so sobering. if you don't really understand the reason why this country should apologize for allowing slavery to exist as long as it did and after slavery allow state-sanctioned racial bias and discrimination going all the way from jim crow up to equal housing, equal employment opportunities. come down to birmingham and spend a couple of hours in this museum and i guarantee you it will open anybody's eyes. >> i lived there and i know what you're talking about or visit the 14th street baptist church where the four little girls were killed. black voters makeup some 20% all of democratic voters. how do you plan to energize those voters and convince them to support you? >> well, you know, what i've done the eight years as mayor and governor, i tried to go to people, to go to every voter and go to where they are, their places of worship, their homes their meetings, symbolic places like cert

i'm in birmingham, alabama. but i want to say two things. i think i was impressed with her. i was impressed with the secretary's interview but that's not -- to me, i'm not necessarily saying that's the reason why she left the administration i think at the end of the day directionally she doesn't want to push the envelope the same way the president wants to push the envelope so that could be the central reason but we have to hear from the president. i'm still processing and finding it hard to believe that he wants to push the issue of separating children from their parents. if he's pushing an agenda to separate women from their children at the border that's going to be a disastrous agenda. i hope he's rethinking that or there's people around him that are just waiting a little bit and saying hey, wait a minute, that's not going to be politically palatable in the united states. >> when you say that to him, you get fired. when you say this is illegal, this is wrong, this is too harsh, that's not america, you're gone. >> yeah, well, okay. so that again is another thing that i wan

the children of birmingham and a man named king joining arms with others showed what was possible when they refused to wait and confronted dogs and fire hoses, when they confronted and defeated and brought down segregation in their city. america, america, we know our history. it is a perpetual testimony to impatient, demanding, unrelenting people who in every generation with love stood up for justice. generations of americans have shown us what was possible when they refused to wait. and now it is our turn. and we have work to do. america, we can't wait. america, we will not wait. together we will run at the tough challenges. together we will do the things that other people say are impossible. together we will fulfill our pledge to be a nation of liberty and justice for all. together we will win. and together, america, we will rise! >>> all right, new jersey u.s. senator cory booker there at his first big rally since announcing his candidacy two months ago. quite the contrast in front of a huge crowd there in newark, new jersey, what's become his home for the last 20 years, in contrast

also the founder and editor of ea world view joining this hour from birmingham, england. scott, good to have you. >> good morning, george. >> good day to you. we just heard mr. trump on stage in nevada. the way he is setting it up putting so much focus on it, scott, it does seem like he's preparing for 2020 and this will be, again as we saw in 2016, a major talking point. >> yes, george. i mean, let's be clear here, that there are two issues here that are going to be 3407ks the trump election issues. one of them is going to be anti-immigration, bashing of immigrants, and the second will be accusing democrats of being -- trying to take over the united states with anti-semitism. let me be very frank with you, george. i am disturbed by the hypocrisy of this. i am disturbed that it was donald trump who called the republic bilk an coalition saying they used this. they claimed that the jewish financier was trying to take over the united states by hillary clinton. in 2016 donald trump excused white supremists in charlottesville. now you have the same president who says, oh,, oh,

scott is a professor at birmingham. good to have you with us. >> thank you, george. >> there is a good article in the "washington post" that really hits the mark here. this event that is usually built around comedy, scott, self-d self-deprication. attendees welcomed a historian that set a different mood there. >> of course it did. there's the headline, of course, about the person who wasn't there, the president of the united states. i think, in part, this was because the trump administration is aiming at folks. y'all are enemies of the people. y'all are the threat within. last year, they aimed at the comedian who was there. they said her humor was part of this assault on american values. i think it was good to hear ron. i think he's absolutely right, this is a serious time in america. i will go further. he said this won't be the last threat to the first amendment. this arguably is the most serious threat to the first amendment we have had for generations and will have for some time to come. we are now at the point, we a

he is a professor of international politics at the university of birmingham in england, and he's also the founder and editor of ea world view. thank you so much for being with us. >> good morning to you, rosemary. >> it appears homeland security secretary nielsen was pressured to quit. and according to nancy pelosi it's because president trump didn't think she was tough enough. that is despite her heading up the separation of children and parents at the border. so is that way he got rid of her and how much tougher is he likely to get at the southern border? >> well, first of all, let's be honest, she was fired. i mean, let's use the word that actually happened yesterday. and there's two main reasons for this. the first is this is about 2020 and the run for re-election, and donald trump and his inner circle are going to pursue it on a hardline anti-immigrant message. we have seen that in recent days, including with trump threatening to shut the u.s.-mexico border. we saw it with the rejection of the proposed head of immigrations and customs enforcement last thursday, ron vitello, and n

. >> scott lucas giving us perspective live in birmingham, england. always a pleasure. thank you. >> thank you, george. >> newsroom pushes ahead. an american militia group appears to be taking the law into its own hands at the u.s./mexico border. we'll explain ahead. stay with us. ♪ corey is living with metastatic breast cancer, which is breast cancer that has spread to other parts of her body. she's also taking prescription ibrance with an aromatase inhibitor, which is for postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive her2- metastatic breast cancer as the first hormonal based therapy. ibrance plus letrozole was significantly more effective at delaying disease progression versus letrozole. patients taking ibrance can develop low white blood cell counts, which may cause serious infections that can lead to death. before taking ibrance, tell your doctor if you have fever, chills, or other signs of infection, liver or kidney problems, are pregnant, breastfeeding, or plan to become pregnant. common side effects include low red blood cell and low platelet counts, infe

you'll go all the way back to 1963 with the birmingham church bombing of the four little girls and in 2015, the charleston church shooting in charleston that was a hate crime. we don't yet know how these are linked, bit they appear to be suspicious. we did hear from a pastor from a greater union baptist church, one of the churches in appaloosa. listen to what he had to say. >> quite naturally, something like this would shake us up. i'm very concerned. but i'm very optimistic because god, our faith is in god. and no matter what happens, i feel like this is his plan. this is god's plan. he allowed it. and i believe he brought me here. he's going to bring me through this. >> now, some extended family members i have spoken to say they don't know what comes next. they're very concerned. >> fear while they're trying to figure out what has done this. the fear of what's next. >> the fire marshal saying it's imperative for the citizens of this community to figure out who caused these, who set these. >> that's why they're putting out a call for help. these were set in the middle of the night. t

he is a professor of international politics at the university of birmingham. thank you so much for joining us. >> good morning, rosemary. >> all right. so let's talk about the imminent release of the mueller report. how much of it do you think will be blacked out? and if too much is redacted, how does that reflect back on attorney general bill barr? >> well, only bill barr knows how much is going to be redacted at this point. that's the key question, isn't it? because he stated in his four-page letter on the mueller report last month when he tried to give cover for donald trump that not only could redactions be made for national security, redactions could be made because of ongoing grand jury investigations, but he said i can issue redactions over third parties who are not directly facing legal action. well, of course, that's a sweeping clause. that could cover almost any part of the report that refers to donald trump or anyone in donald trump's campaign hthat is not currently indicted or facing prosecution. that has been the worry amongst democrats in congres

i was in detroit, birmingham, michigan, two nights ago making a presentation, somebody came over to me and said, i'm going to tell you the main reason i voted for the president and he said, i don't like the establishment, i don't like the political establishment, i don't like the media establishment and i like seeing him tweak those people. you don't have to accept that. i don't like it. i tell the president, hey, you don't need to do that. there's no reason for you to tell these fables or these stories of the you're doing a very good job with the economy, doing a great job with the whole nato discussion is going in the right direction i think. we can pick different categories, john, by and large he's ton a great job, why do you have to tell lies? we started out probably when he was in the real estate business and that three bedroom apartment, you know, had like probably extra square footage or a window view in the bathroom. >> why is he an antiestablishment -- >> no, no. it's you talking about it and being upset about it -- >> why shouldn't i be upset about it? this isn't about me, bu
