one in four lynching victims, like joseph richardson and frank embree, were accused of unlawful conduct with white women. in nearly every case, no evidence, just an accusation, was enough. there are so many crimes committed against african americans. why focus on lynching? >> stevenson: at the end of the civil war, black people are supposed to get the right to vote, and the only way people who were white could maintainthb and lynching was especially effective because it would allow the whole community to know that we did this to this person. it was intended to send a message, that if you try to vote, if you try to advocate for your rights, if you insist on fair wages, if you do anything that complicates white supremacy and white dominance and political power, we will kill you. >> winfrey: anything that upsets the power structure as i want it to be. >> stevenson: that's exactly right.enn founded an organization he called "the equal justice initiative." it's a legal advocacy group, based in montgomery, alabama, focused on defending the poor and powerless. stevenson is best known for his l

was depending on and return today that, earlier this year admiral john richardson told reporters that the submarine activity is more than we have seen in 25 years from russia, specific to the atlantic, so what does this mean that the fleet is being put back in action and that we have seen so much activity on the part of russia? >> first off, as you pointed out this is a fleet and presence that has on historical basis not only cold war but world war ii where we were escorting vessels back and forth to european continent and continued throughout the cold war and we did have a high degree of soviet submarine and naval activity, the quality of naval forces declined -- bli but in the -- bli has been deploying them more and more aggressive and you think about the routes that we are talking about, this is both through air and through submarine navigating iceland going through north atlantic all the way to u.s. coast towards venezuela and knack and to it's only prudent that the u.s. which had abandoned command years ago given the lack of russian activity just prudent to put something back in

bill richardson former governor of new mexico joins me now. thank you for talking to us. north korea is saying in a statement that the u.s. is clinging to a, quote, outdated acting script by basically imposing these sanctions before it denuclearizes. what is your take? >> traditional north korea negotiating strategy. they know negotiations will continue. the north koreans want their own position known. they want sanctions before any denuclearization steps take place. they want their position heard. they're positionings themselves for negotiations that are happening. this morning for instance i just talked to a group of coalition of families on the remains of our soldiers from north korea. you know, the north koreans said they would give us 200 remains. they gave us 55. they drag things out. they use bluster. the good thing, julie, about what i noticed in the statement is they kind of went after the secretary of state, high officials are not helping with their negotiating strategy. but they said something nice about president trump. not in the spirit of president trump. so

bill richardson. thank you very much for joining us. there is a big question about is the current policy on north korea, is it working as far as the progress that we're making? >> well, what i think is important is what secretary mattis did, which was to suspend a concession that we had made to the north koreans at the singapore summit. i've negotiated with north koreans. they always want you to go first and then when it is time to follow through on their commitments they don't do it. they have done nothing an denuclearization as they said they would. so this is going to be a frosty period, but i am convinced that negotiations eventually will resume. and they should resume. but i think it's the correct decision for the secretary of defense to keep the pressure on north korea, reinforce our relationship with our allies of south korea that we're still with them on military exercises. but this is typical north korea. i think it was a mistake at the singapore summit to have let the north koreans have that

right at the height of watergate and richardson to get the seat had to promise to appoint a special prosecutor, that's when things started to go amiss for him. the senate, while it's a minority that is pushing for more oversight of nixon, they can still have an impact on the hearings and still extract more from a nominee than you might think. >> you meant more oversight of nexton or jeff sessions? >> more oversight of trump. >>. >> of trump, ok. >> what happened. >> ok. what has been -- what would that do to us? would that throw us back to the beginning of the investigation? does it start over? i don't think anyone is sure what would happen if he fired the attorney general. >> well, what will happen, what would likely happen is if you got a new attorney general in there is that rosenstein would no longer be in charge of the investigation because the new attorney general would have no conflict of interest, theoretically, and he would take charge of the investigation. i think ultimately, a new attorney general would make such a decision as to what do i do with the report of the specia

national academy of sciences in the past few days professor richardson thanks so much for coming on the program to just explain risks that would still exist even if the world abided by the paris agreement on a two degree centigrade rise in temperature well what we did is we sort of said well listen it's nice that politicians have decided that the earth will be two degrees warmer than it was in the pre-industrial and sort of assume that it'll just stay at that temperature who look back at the earth's history and it turns out it's never had a stable period of long a long period where the temperature was stable at about two degrees above pre-industrial so what that told us is that there may be other processes in the earth's system that when you get to be two degrees warmer could keep pushing the temperature up until you got around four to five degrees as has happened in the past so we started searching for those processes and we didn't identify anything new all of these processes have been identified before but we looked at was the interactions between these processes we're talking process

candidates to run in the poll in november this year there's a record number of female contenders as claire richardson caught up with one who's also a native american. she's a single mother who once lived off food stamps now deb holland looks set to go from the banks of the rio grande day in new mexico to the halls of the house of representatives. holland is on course to become the first native american woman to serve in the u.s. congress after this year's elections and she wants to help others like her do the same as far as i'm concerned if i want native women or women of color to run to be willing to help them get out there a record number of both women and native americans are running for office across the country pauline supporters want her to fight against the long history of persecution of american indians and the racism they still face today so it's a real thing it's not just a made up story it's happening all over our country as a member of the laguna pueblo tribe hall in hopes to set an example for future generations and to fight for more representation in u.s. politics when i think about you

also turned up to defend their right to carry such weapons claire richardson reports from fairfax virginia. in a polarized national debate a rare display of the two sides talking to each other but both are holding their ground. property over life which is a crime no it's not a do you know news i'm sure i can thank you for everybody forces necessary to owning a razor for my home as we don't it's a heated discussion as protesters and counter protesters clashed over the role of guns in the united states this is a stop on the margin of our lives national road trip that's been aimed at raising awareness about gun violence and registering people to vote as you can see it's a smaller protest than some of the ones we've seen earlier this year but the location is important we're here right in front of the national rifle association which they blame for buying off politicians. across a police barricade and are a supporters they it's people not guns that are the problem they don't want any restrictions on their ability to carry such weapons and someone who doesn't hold the law because we don't follow

. >> prosecutors kristen richardson and carla carlstrom, promised the jury pieces of a puzzle. pieces they hoped would ultimately reveal a resentful, hateful husband, whose frustrations had boiled over. >> i think it was actually, i think the phrase it truly was a crime of passion. >> at the core of the prosecutors' case, david was a sexist philanderer who viewed his goody-two-shoes wife as a weight around his neck. so he put his hands around hers after an argument to free himself of the burden. david they said then turned to nici's problem with pills as his cover-up. >> why kill her? >> it wasn't a plan to murder. if it was something he planned to do, sure, he could divorce her. this was not a plan. this was something that erupted one night in a fit of rage. >> because they thought there was no premeditation, david pietz was charged with second, not first, degree murder. but proving he snapped and strangled nici in their condo wouldn't be easy. this was a highly circumstantial case with little direct evidence pointing david's way. >> in terms of the bedroom or the house, there

this is where the alaska highway finally joins the alter richardson highway which leads from the coast to fairbanks. delta junction is considered the official end of the twenty four hundred kilometer long highway. the last mile stone is a popular photo opportunity for the international tourists. the ultimate destination of the highway was and still is fair banks the largest city in the interior of alaska. downtown second avenue with its pubs small shops and rugged charm still looks a bit like it did when there were thousands of soldiers stationed in the city. during the second world war fair banks was the hub for american aid to the russians here russian pilots took over thousands of fighters and fighter bombers from their american counterparts and flew them on to siberia in all weathers and in all seasons. the pilots of that time would certainly feel comfortable in the bars affair bags today. the nightlife of the city is still wild and ruckus perfectly in tune with alaska's roughneck image. the pioneering spirit lives on in pubs like the howling dog saloon where many of today's patron

well that case was called frontier against richardson, and we represented sharon frontiero who was a lieutenant in the air force. sharon had a husband and t husband was denied medical and housing benefits because he wasn't as dependent on her as he should be the law to let a husband get benefits, where the wives of military men automatically got benefits. so we were in court saying that that distinction based on gender was unconstitutional. >> and you won? >> we definitely won. all but rehnquist, justice rehnquist agreed that was discrimination on the basis of sex. but we wanted to get a very high standard of review so that sexual discrimination would be scrutinized at the same level as race zrichlz discrimination. we almost got that four of the justices ruled in our favor on that. >> you remain close with her in washington and beyond. do you think she is close to being done? >> no. i think that she -- first of all, she said that she has at least another five years in her, and she has maintained her health beautifully. she works out, as you can see in the documentary, religiously, an
