. >> reverend james martin editor at large at "america" magazine joins us new york. the pope says the church does not have the right to interfere spiritually in the lives of gays and lesbians. how do you interpret that, your thoughts? >> well, he also says that the church must consider these gays and lesbians as people and accompany them with mercy. it is an expansion of some of the things he said on the flight back from rio where he said, who am i to judge? interestingly, people said he's only talking about gay priests on the plane. in the interview, he's talking about gay persons. it's i wide-ranging, merciful, broad, very heartfelt interview. >> this is something kind of extraordinary in the development of the catholic church, being roman catholic myself, we've never heard these things from the leadership of the church. this quote, we cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage, and the use of contraceptive methods i've not spoken much about these things and i was reprimanded for that. it's not necessary to talk about these issues all the time.

. >> reporter: father james martin is editor of "america" magazine, one of 16 catholic publications that printed the interview. is this a clear signal of a new way of doing business? >> yes. he is saying this is the way i want to do things, this is how i want to communicate to people and this is who i am. >> reporter: pope benedict 16 and john paul ii insisted catholics adhere to strict teachings. francis told the interviewer the church needs to be more open. francis told the interviewer the church needs to be more open the pope's changes extend beyond message. he's made a point of foregoing some of the pomp of the papacy, carrying his own briefcase and living in a modestly furnished hotel room. susan matthews runs an online forum called "catholics for change." >> as a life long and very disheartened catholic, it was such a breath of fresh air. it had been like the institutional doors had been thrown open and light was coming in. >> reporter: but there has been some pushback from conservatives. bishop thomas tobin of providence, rhode island, said he's disappointed the pope has not spoke

father james martin is the author to real life. thank you very much for coming in. he is six months into the office and taking the institution of the vatican and shaking it boy the neck. the power of leadership. >> he does it not only for the things he said and writes, but driving around in his renault and moving around the palace and living simply. people are seeing he speaks with a great deal of authority and authenticity. >> you are right. people find it so refreshing. an incredible change and a potential great change. institutionally, you are in the vatican. do you think there is much push back? >> there is little resistance. someone said if you are a cardinal and driving a limousine and he is driving the renault, you have to get rid of the limousine. they are talking about reform of the name of the vatican governance. that's a huge change. it's not the symbolic stuff, but institutional change. >> father martin, forget about the public relations element of it. it's amazing and impressive, but how difficult will it be to effect real change like the marriage issue

the aston martin driven by james bond in "goldfinger," the delorean from "back to the future," the spanish designer has produced a poster collection featuring these iconic cars from the movies. the name of the movie is not featured on the poster so a film buff can have fun guessing. fly like an eagle. this incredible video was filmed in germany and france and made by attaching a small camera to the back of the burden. a fantastic idea with stunning results. a definite must-see for nature lovers. >> white gloves, caps and carefully choreographed moves. employees of the tokyo metro run the vast underground network with the precision of the musical conductor. their unusual style consists of pointing and describing out loud every task leaving no room for error. >> in the tokyo metro, have a five-second margin for being on time. if we are a little late, we have to make up for it straightaway. in this job, you have to have a mental clock ticking all of the time. >> running this behemoth is no easy feat. two systems sprawl under the japanese capital. to complicate things, on the surface, private

i want to go to father james marten. father martin, there are lots and lots of headlines in the spectacular interview. what is the biggest revelation in your opinion? >> i think the quote that he just mentioned is one of them, that he was reprimanded for not talking about the hot-button issues. i he talks about a lot of things in terms of his view of the church, his outreach to gays and lesbians, candidly about his own failing as a jesuit superior, and as we were reading the translations, we were stunned. >> it's very unpope-like behavior, but it seems to be how he is. pope, you mentioned specifically talking about women, about female priests. he has not supported the idea, but he uses interesting words to talk about women of the church, another quote. the feminine jegenius is needed wherever we make important decisions. women are asking deep questions that must be addressed. the church cannot be herself without the woman and her role. what do you think catholics here worldwide will take away from the pope calling the ch

the "wall street journal", brian sasi, and scott martin from united advisors. gentlemen, thanks for joining us. this is my basic premise. some companies that are such a disaster even if they offer you a fortune to run it, if you can't turn it around you really tarnish your reputation. they say there is nowhere to go but up in some of these companies, like jcpenney but yeah there is, you could go down further. scott, you pick one you would run from the very company i mentioned, jcpenney. how come? >> it is funny and not only ruin your reputation but waste time, wasting time on a bad company because i think that is what jcpenney is. i don't even think they would tell you, or they could tell you who their target audience is. certainly i think the general public does not know. therefore they don't go in the stores. secondly the brand itself just doesn't have any loyalty. it's a very tough business being in retail. we've seen that from this year. a lot of companies out there are struggling to sell to the consumer and the last thing is, they have tons of real estate.

refers include susan rice -- --efers include james rice susan rice, james clapper, and martin dempsey. then rice commented on seriousness of the situation at the new america foundation earlier today. this is about 45 minutes. >> hello, everybody. i am the very new president of the new america foundation. i have been here a week and i have already come to appreciate the enormous work that goes into setting up an event like this one. thanks to all of our teams. since all of you are here to see ambassador rice, since she has kindly helped us gather you, i cannot go without a love for the weekly long, our new digital magazine. sign up for that on your way out. it's a great pleasure to be will to introduce susan rice, the national security advisor. she became national security advisor in july, the first woman to her deposition in a democratic administration. she moved back to the white house after four very successful years as u.n. ambassador. she was on the frontlines of what seemed like a steady series of national security and global security crises, in north korea, iran, libya, sudan, m

the most famous escape was made by james earl ray nine years after he killed civil rights leader martin luther king jr. ray had been an escapee from missouri state penitentiary when he assassinated king. >> the main thing he was interested in was escaping. now, when i first met him, i was interested in escaping too. we got into a couple of plots together that never worked out. one we were going to go through the roof of the old auditorium where they showed movies. we did get the hole cut but it was discovered before we had a chance to use it. we didn't get caught, we didn't get locked up over it. they found it and tightened security in that area. >> in 1977 ray plotted another escape with james slagle and two other inmates. the plan was to climb the outer wall using a makeshift ladder crafted from chains. the inmates knew the tower guard closest to the wall took an afternoon nap. but slagle feared ray's high profile would lead them to the being captured. >> i said, james, you've got no pickup, no car. as soon as your foot touches down, they know it's you, there will be a million cops in

chuck hagel and martin dempsey are testifying at the other. both appear at an open hearing by the house foreign affairs committee that begins an hour from now. this hour, the markup begins in the senate foreign relations committee on a new draft resolution and set a 60-day deadline for military action in syria. it would also bar u.s. boots on the ground. >> it tries to capture the balance of the views expressed yesterday by members of the committee that i think are reflective of members of the senate. it is tailored and narrow in both scope and breadth and assures no american troops on the ground and has a time limitation. >> aside from a filibuster threat. kasie hunt reporting that senator john mccain appeared to be the president's biggest ally in arms says he won't support the senate resolution. political director chuck todd is traveling with the president in sweden. nbc's kasie hunt joins us live from capitol hill. i want to start with you on why senator mccain might now be changing his tune. >> reporter: senator mccain is okay with many of

general martin dempsey. joining us now from turkey on the board with syria is jim mace maceda. what reaction in the middle east to what is the developments that have taken place both in terms of comments from putin and, of course, in the u.s. congress? >> reporter: hi there, ross. well, as you say, we're monitoring the situation here from turkey. it is a good example, you've got a nato ally and a friend of the u.s. which will soon have half a million syrian refugees to contend with here. and that has been a target of cross border attacks from syrian forces. so turks are watching the political battles unfolding in washington very carefully as are other u.s. allies. unlike most of them in this region, turkey is worried that anything less than a major offensive that would actually bring bashar al assad down will simply embolden the dictator and trigger retaliation against turkey. so there is real trepidation here and that said, turkey, like saudi arabia and like the gulf emirates and like israel, are backing st

summer when literally tens of thousands of blacks were thrown into jail, some and conditions as bad as james lee pruitt for the temerity to march in stand up for basic human rights. this was the summer also win the younger blacks in the movement were starting to get impatient with martin luther king and his emphasis on nonviolent resistance. they started to listen more to people like malcolm x who talked about by any means necessary and also a guy named robert williams who had already fled the country one of the leading apostles of fighting violence with violence. there were a number of people involved in monroe, north carolina, some big battles there. he was -- he was finding and malcolm was finding a lot more followers who were arguing no to nonviolence and no to integration. and at the same time that there was this movement on the left, and more radical edge of the civil rights movement to repudiate the very core of the movement, there was growing pressure from the right, not only developing plans to go after the movement, but movements throughout the south among the governors and the sta

then kerry will be joined by a classified hear with james clapper. most note worthy, there were no democratic lawmakers at the white house today. his own party is not on board. >> we want there to be some consequences. what is that? is that just going to war? is that bombing? is that killing more people? i'm not -- i'm not there yet. >> veteran democrat charlie wrangle said today it was embarrassing for the president to have drawn the red line then let kerry go out on a limb friday only to have the president pullback from military action on saturday. wrangle saying on msnbc, "so of course it's embarrassing. i wish it didn't happen. i guess secretary kerry is even more embarrassed than me. after making his emotional speech that this was urgent." while kerry was not part of the meeting where the new plan was hatched, the secretary insisted on sunday he's on board because getting congressional support will help in the long run. >> i believe it is a good idea. >> yet victory is not assured. and a lack of democratic votes leaves the president relying on r

and this time they will hear from secretary kerry, behind closed doors, and james clapper. earlier today, senators mccain and graham laid out what's at stake for the vote on syria. >> if the congress were to reject a resolution like this, after the president of the united states has already committed to action, the consequences would be catastrophic, in that the credibility of this country, with friends and the adversaries, not only for this presidency, but for future president sees as well. >> the president in many ways has no one to blame but himself about the lack of public understanding of what'sas stake in syria. two years ago, we had the opportunity to sought out when there were dozens of al-qaeda in syria, and now there are thousands. two years ago, there were 6,000 refugees in jordan. and time is not on our side. we urge the president to up his game. >> be sure to stay with us. aljazeera will have live coverage in washington. our coverage gets underway at 2:00 tomorrow afternoon. >>> giving victims of the shooting a purple heart and making them eligible for military

. >> we begin our special look at fredericksburg as we learn about james farmer. >> i wept during some speeches, especially during the speech of a rabbi and walter rizzo of the united autoworkers, and particularly during the now famous speech of martin luther king jr. certainly in my memory, a time when people become larger than themselves and maybe the coin a phrase, larger than life. because hundreds of thousands, white and black, prompted them to believe in something that was outside of themselves and bigger than they. >> james farmer taught from 1985 until just before he passed away in the summer of 1999. he was an incredible teacher and lecturer. i would argue that his time in the classroom was one of the most significant moments in american public education were a great leader had an opportunity for more than a decade to interact with students on a regular basis and regale them with the civil rights movement. >> many people wonder how it started. doctor king one day said come on, you all, let's march and everyone got together in march. were whitney young were others. >> he brough

and here is martin luther king, jr. a wonderful human being. he was my leader, my inspiration, my hero. i first met him in 1958 when i was 18 years old. this is eugene carson blake, who was head of the national council of churches. and this young man here is cleveland robinson. this man was almost blind, but no one wanted to say to him, "but you cannot walk with the group." and so he walked with us. this is rabbi joachim prince of the american jewish congress. he was born in berlin and moved to america during the late '30s. he moved to newark, new jersey, and became a leader, a spokesperson for civil liberty, civil rights. and this is joe rauh. he was one of the unbelievable leaders in the naacp. and this is the unbelievable whitney young, who was head of the national urban league. >> right. >> who's been a dean at the school of social work at atlanta university. roy wilkins, the head of the naacp. walter reuther, the head of the united automobile workers union. and this is a. philip randolph. >> yeah. >> he was born in jacksonville, florida, m

so in the last couple of years, we've seen things like the entire miami heat team with lebron james and dwyane wade, they're superstars in the lead, all wearing hoods in protest of, at the time at the fact that george zimmerman had not been arrested for the shooting of trayvon martin. and many athletes like carmelo anthony of the new york knicks, he was very vocal about that as well. so you saw something there where it connected with players, particularly of african american players, very strongly, that there needed to be justice as a result of the trayvon martin case. the other issue that of course is huge right now is the issue of lgbt athletes, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender athletes standing up and speaking out for their right to their own humanity inside a locker room. now historically, a locker room has been, it's been called "the last closet," like an incredible bastion of homophobia. i mean, this goes back to theodore roosevelt, who encouraged young boys to play tackle football, and said if they didn't they were sissies. so, and he popularized that phrase, the sissy. an

or the james h. miller jr. plant emitting the equivalent of 3.4 million cars. or the champion, georgia hour's sheerer plant, the largest emitter of carbon pollution in america which emits as much pollution as 4.4 million cars. if these 50 plants were an independent country, that country would alone be the seventh largest emitter of carbon dioxide in the world. just behind germany, just ahead of south korea. from my state's perspective, these out-of-state power plants are a hazard. it is out-of-state power plants that emit the chemicals that turn into ground-level ozone in downwind rhode island. rhode islanders pay the price. particularly on bad air days, and we've had six of them sar in 2013. about 12% of rhode island's children and 11% of our adults suffer from asthma, and ground-level ozone puts them at greater risk. we've got a lot of good rhode island reasons to clean up the power sector. that's why i support the administration's proposed standards for new power plants. the standards will limit the effects of climate change by telling industries it's time t
