Principle pulled from the curriculum merely because it mentions the existence of the black lives matter movement. the teacher was trying to teach the course while up against the possible punishments of the new law. at the same school, there was a group of students formerly organized black and proud like the james brown anthem. after one parent objected, the school demanded that group change the name to the black student alliance. think about that. students organizing themselves, learning about c...

Theyre saying, this is an invasion, from official white house channels. so that has ramped things up. today, we expect that there will be some official new set of sanctions. what we dont yet know is what form that will take. will he hear from the president on that? we dont have anything on his public schedule yet to indicate that. will this be in the form of a paper statement or some additional thing? thats what well be looking for. obviously, the u.s. and all of the different departments and ag...

And having come so close in 1968, the world agreed a new arrangement — the nuclear non—proliferation treaty. 191 countries are currently signed up. nuclear powers agreed to reduce their arsenals in exchange others agreed not to have them at all. and in the �*70s, the deals between the us and russia continued to more focused on long—range missiles. and though the rivalry of these superpowers intensified in 1991, there was the new start treaty. it aimed to decrease the size of their overal...

Approach. soften up the target, bring in the heavy artillery, and if you can achieve a goal with just moving in troops and taking over a country like in 1968 in czechoslovakia, for example, thats great. if they need to bring in the heavy artillery literally and figur figuratively, they will go that route. thats whats happening here and putin is moving forward. as far as hes concerned the plan is working. for people like me we think of the plan as ghastly not only from a humanitarian perspective ...

The other nato allies going into the eastern flank areas, the baltic countries, romania, bulgaria, poland. they want assurance. they have one very important assurance, bill an wanted to be in nato so much. article 5. if russia expands beyond ukraine and tries to go into poland or hungary or lithuania or estonia or latvia, the united states and entire nato alliance is in the records of nato bound to reply. thats what well be looking for. >> dana: great to see you and get that perspective. >> bill...

♪ ♪ i say we cant quit moving until we get what we deserve ♪ ♪ say it loud ♪ ♪ im black and proud ♪ >> it was civil rights, inclusive and you saw in that video while it was about black pride, it was something a lot of people managed to enjoy. it hit number one on the r and b singles chart and came at a time many were reeling from the assassination of dr. king. >> james browns "im black and im proud" was -- it was an affirmation of self-respect. >> the words were magical. i mean, th...

Postgame handshake line when gard grabbed howard by the arm in what was an attempt to explain the time out. howard said he felt the need to defend himself after gard initiated contact. medina spirit was stripped of the victory in last years kentucky derby and mandaloon was declared the winner. the kentucky racing horse commission disqualified the now deceased racehorse for testing positive after the race. medina spirit is the second horse in the 147-year history of the race to be disqualified ...

Compared today the madness and erratic behavior of vladimir putin, it was also really an interesting sign to see what was happening on the streets of so many russian cities today. im not saying theres a mass uprising across russia by any means, but i also remember 1968 when the soviet union invaded czechoslovakia. eight people went to red square and unfurled banners against that invasion. for less than a minute, and they were beaten by the kjb and arrested and sent to prison and all the rest. bu...

Sorry, 1968 — when around 7,000 troops from different countries were engaged, and as a result, in 2a hours, all the czechoslovakian cities were controlled by either the soviet or east german forces. now, you have, ithink, the 13th day of war, and there is nothing like what happened in czechoslovakia at that time. and if putin is unable to succeed in one week from now, i would say... he is running out of time. yes, the door is locked. thank you very much, dr inozemstev. stay with us on bbc news...

Going on. >> appreciate that. admiral, if russia is successful in ending or decapitating the government of ukraine, then what happens to the people who live there? what is the day-to-day reality of that? this is sadly a region that has seen land go back and forth because of the great land wars of western europe before. but for viewers and for americans its not something we have witnessed in the recent era. what does that actually entail? >> unfortunately, they are on a rocket ride back to 1939. ...
