this is a big issue with d.c. residents today. they called it tyranny in 1776, bringing back the idea of taxation without representation. this next cartoon has to do with sports. berryman was a avid sports fan. this deals with the washington senators, the baseball team in 1924. in that year, the washington senators were ahead of the american league for most of the time but around the same time, the yankees were trying to take the lead. you see in the cartoon, washington driving the car with a yankee trying to come in and say -- i like this seat. washington says i'm not through with the driving. in that year, which was a rarity for washington sports fans, the senators went on to win the world series over the new york giants. this next cartoon has to do with a theme with government workers. while most are not in the washington, d.c. area, he was thinking about federal workers. every year, when congress goes to do appropriations, they decide if they are going to give a cost-of-living adjustment to government workers. he shows the wor

from baltimore city -- from baltimore city, because we want your voices to be heard in washington, d.c.. >> laura: joining us now is the mayor of baltimore, catherine pugh who supported and addressed hundreds of students who walked out of their classrooms yesterday demanding gun control legislation. it is great to have you on the show. i so appreciate your time tonight. tell us about what your goal is here in baltimore. this march is going to take place in a few weeks in washington. but what do you want to achieve by helping the students go down? >> so first let me say thank you for the invite and it's good to be here this evening with you. our goal is to allow young people's voices to be heard. we didn't even know the young people were marching down to city hall, but when we did hear that they were coming i thought it important to receive them because when you have these many young people who are afraid and frightened to be in our classrooms, or asking you to help them go out and want to have you hear their voices, they did not necessarily even know about the margin washington, some o

she traveled here to washington, d.c., just for the rally. and maria victoria ciccone, a 15-year-old from miami, and maria, i think i butchered your name, so i apologize. >> you got it. >> did i get it? >> yeah. >> fran, let me start with you there. in florida here. as a former teacher, at marjory stoneman douglas, now the parent of a student there, what do you make of what we saw and what we heard here in washington and there in parkland today? >> i was really proud of them. coming from the school, those kids are very well-organized. they're taught very high standards. so i didn't expect any different from them. >> what do you want to see happen next? what do you want to see come after this march and rally, fran? >> i would like to see change. i really -- not necessarily banning all weapons, but, yes. having gun reform, looking at the whole picture. maybe having a national network so that this way if people move state to state that this way we at least know what kind of weapons they do have. even limiting the amount of magazines that they're

it's hollywood d.c. and that means that we're looking into the history not all of it but you know a good deal of history relating to the relationship between hollywood and the washington powerbrokers and what goes back really to the beginning of the birth of the war bonds you know using hollywood celebrities to sell war bonds for the first world war it's like the world war all the way through the blacklist as we know the tories blacklisting of hollywood screenwriters and then up to the present day two movies like american sniper lone survivor zero dark thirty and just trying to coalesce and understand what is this relationship basically between media film and and politics what's really interesting and we talk about it here on other levels is that all too often our mainstream media our you know all of this likes to smear anyone who dares connect publicly proven daughter to as being conspiracy theorists we've seen this with the me too movement before that in sexual harassment in child sex abuse and hollywo

in d.c. here's what he had to say. it all comes down to a slice or ten was offered to all the politicians out there if you take money from the n.r.a. you have chosen death if you have not expressed your constituents a public stance on this issue you have chosen to ask if you do not stand with us by saying we need to pass commonsense gun legislation you have chosen and none of the millions of people marching in this country today will stop until they see those against us out of office because we. thought you have your off earlier i spoke to our correspondent alex hunter phenomenon who was at the march and asked her about the atmosphere there. i would describe the atmosphere here as a mixture of determination and confidence because the students i talked to are confidence that they can make a difference one of them is joining me right now it's amanda she's from new york amanda you came here from new york with your friends why was it so important for you to participate in this protest it's important to me to. prices have b

they are d.c.-bound aboard one of four buses that left pittsburgh early this morning headed to washington, d.c. these are 250 young men and women and adult leaders of the community who not only are passionate about the issue of gun violence, but have also experienced it first hand including glenn grayson jr. who i'm joined by. gun violence has hit close to home for you with the loss of your brother. tell me about that. >> yes, my brother was a freshman at hampton university. he came home for the first time like most students do, you know, do their laundry, say hello to their parents. he went to a party at cal u university during their homecoming time and a guy shot through the party, he killed my brother. he didn't know him, never met him. but he's not here today so i'm here as a lead organizer and his brother to make sure his memory is not in vain. >> reporter: clearly you feel more needs to be done. do you think we're seeing some progress particularly after parkland? >> yes, i mean the other day

in washington d.c. level off that interference and effectively buy influence or what it should be bribing people close to the president for interestingly this is a different catalyst for it the middle east absolutely government eyes kind of the possible rule or russia. and the recent american election i think does a scandal or at least issue what initially can be way more significant and way more serious for for american politics and also makes you realize what we seeing happening here in this region it's just not going to end anytime soon there is a lack of trust of this administration or the thing so there are they know they are you know the they are. the believe on the american is sincere on the finding solutions the different dynamic in the administration the changing of politicians this actually makes things more complicated i don't think so this lack of trust will increase up at the of the mr nation i think this will make most of the crisis actually on hold for for for maybe a long time. unfortuna

we came down to d.c. because even in massachusetts where we have good gun laws ands there's not a lot that can be changed, we still feel that if we come and show that we're in support of the other states who still need help and show the government that we're here to make a change, then if we're here, then they'll see that and they'll acknowledge that. >> so i want to back up a a little bit and just kind of take a look at your signs. you guys have some very color canful signs out here. this one caught my eye, though. i'd rather write my clelg college essay than my friend's obituary. talk to me about your thoughts about making that sign and has this dominated your conversation in school. you're a sophomore right now. i am a sophomore. i do talk to my friends a lot about politics and i think the way i made my sign the way i did is because i was thinking one day about how i'd rather do anything else than watch my friends die. and i think that thought drove me to be here and to be with my friends and to take a

today and of course it isn't just about what's happened here in d.c. there been other protests across the united states and indeed across the world around eight hundred other events making this a truly global of. andy do you think this march is expected of these marches of course because so many of the people are expected to change anything in terms of politicians paying attention. but i think it's important to know the back in two thousand there was something called the million mom march that was also for gun reform people thought that was the beginning of a movement that didn't happen but i think the difference this time is public opinion is changing i want happened at marjorie stillman douglass high school is for many people the tipping point the students from the spear point of the new movement have spoken to lots of republicans over the last few weeks who are for sensible gun reform i remember in florida the students already achieved something that people thought wasn't possible they got a republican controlled house of congress to change the law

today and of course it isn't just about what's happened here in d.c. there's been other protests across the united states and indeed across the world around eight hundred other events making this a truly global of. the syrian army schools to taking full control of east and go to the last opposition stronghold near the capital damascus two groups of already so when there were thousands of fighters and their families departing the rebel held area only the suburb of duma remains in opposition hands with the rebel islam so far refusing to go so many of those escaping huta are heading to opposition held but the region is far from safe car bomb near a hospital on saturday killed at least seventy people twenty five others were injured. u.s. forces say an air strike near the southern libyan city of a bar and killed two people that it's referring to is terrorists strike was reportedly carried out in coordination with the internationally recognized government of national accord in tripoli the u.s. says no civilians were killed. the car bombs killed two policemen

normally if i had to go to new york or whatever, d.c., i would take amtrak. now you can't do that. >> all right. 6:18. well, reverend billy graham, america's pastor will be laid to rest in his home town of charlotte north carolina his son franklin will deliver eulogy, and 2,000 people are expected to attend, officials will also set up live streaming for people to watch around the world and i do mean around the world. president trump is expected to attend but not scheduled to speak. >>> kroeger and ll beam are joining wal-mart and dickness stopping gun sales to anyone under 21. >> it shows pressure companies are facing and feeling to take a stand one way or the other following the florida school shootings. >> thomas has more because then there is delta airlines. >> these companies are facing pressure but these companies look at their bottom line, comes down to the dollar bill. delta's decision to cut ties with the national rifle association could cost airline millions of dollars and here's the reason y lawmakers in georgia passed a bill that kills a tax break

often in d.c. people do not have as clear a sense as they might of how you are doing in your individual states. if we can help you communicate to us your congressional dega

it is widely believed here in d.c. that the most likely bill element to pass would have to do with strengthening federal background checks, something that is narrowly focused, brought up by senator cornyn after the texas, southerland springs shooting. we want to go to savannah sellers, host of our snapchat program "stay tuned." tell me what you're seeing there, savannah. >> this is an issue about money -- >> it's pretty amazing out here. there are thousands of students from multiple schools in brooklyn right in the middle of downtown brooklyn, hearing them chan the chilling things like "are we the next ones on the floor, 17, 18, how many more"? kids here in bullet-proof vests to make a statement. it's pretty amazing here. >> have you had a chance to talk to some of the students? are they from schools all over the city? >> yes, yes, it's tough to hear you. i believe you're asking about all over the city. the kids have come from all over the city and this is happening across the country. these students have all come toge

mueller's prosecutors say in washington d.c. where manafort is facing five felony charges related to money laundering and illegal foreign lobbying and false statements and conspiracy against the united states, mueller's prosecutors say their best estimate of the kind of jail time manafort would face if convicted on those counts he's facing in d.c., they say their expected range of sentence if he's convicted would be 188 to 235 months in prison which is 15 1/2 to 20 years in prison. now that's not the statutory maximum he could face. that's more like 40 years. prosecutors say under sentencing guidelines they would expect him to do more like 15 to 20 years just for the charges in d.c. for the charges he's facing as of today in virginia, he got arraigned on today, it's a little less clear, but as far as i read it in virginia, it's 18 felony charges that manafort has been hit with. these are charges related to unreported foreign bank accounts and tax fraud and bank fraud. mueller's prosecutors in terms of coming up with a sentence e

investigators, he was murdered in his d.c. hotel room that report from buzzfeed news for obvious reasons went off like a rocket last year when they opened it. opened a cascade of fresh questions about that case and what the u.s. government would do about it if those agents were right. now today buzzfeed has added more supporting evidence to the dramatic claim. and this time it's from a different but familiar source. quote, the fbi possesses a secret report asserting that mikhail lesin was beaten to death by hired thugs in washington, d.c. according to the report, lesin fell out with a powerful oligarch close to putin. wanting to impress putin, he contracted with russian state security agents to beat lesin up. the goal was not to kill lesin, but lesin died from the attack. the report according to four sources was written by the former british intelligence agent christopher steele, who also wrote the famous dossier alleging that russia had been cultivating, supporting and assisting donald trump. just yesterday the united states

now earlier i spoke with our correspondent in d.c. alexandra phenomenon who was at the march and i asked her about the atmosphere there. i would describe the atmosphere here as a mixture of determination and confidence because the students i talked to are confidence that they can make a difference one of them is joining me right now it's amanda she's from new york amanda you came here from new york with your friends why was it so important for you to participate in this protest it's important to me to. prices have been this because this isn't just one person issue it involves everyone because everyone is a vick could be a victim of gun violence young old black white whoever you are and so i want to stand up for the people that i love and for everyone so i encourage everyone to go out vote may change what what change you would like to see what kind of legislation and i would love for some out america so rifles to be banned i want shook their gun background checks i just want people to be safe and especially gun violence and generals an

she begins our coverage in washington, d.c. good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: kendis and diane, good morning. it'll be tough getting around today. thousands of flights have been canceled, most in the northeast. amtrak is scaling back train service, and some states have banned certain trucks from driving on major highways because of the strong winds. we are watching two seasons collide. a large storm system packed with snow and wind is expected to hit the northeast today. it's the fourth major storm in just three weeks. and, oh, by the way, it's officially spring. >> we do still have snowblowers, plenty of salt. i believe we still have some pet-friendly salt as well. we've got plenty of snow shovels. >> reporter: overnight light snow mixed with sleet and freezing rain falling in maryland, virginia and d.c. heavier snow moving up north to pennsylvania. widespread power outages are expected with wind gusts blowing up to 35 miles per hour. >> the rain/freeze line could change. a 50-mile difference could mean the difference betw

. >>> good morning, everyone, from washington d.c. i'm fredrica whitfield. right now from coast to coast people of all ages are pouring into the streets walking side by side holding signs, chanting, singing, and demanding stricter gun laws. the leading voices in this movement, the high school survivors of the marjory stoneman douglas massacre in parkland, florida. they planned the march for our lives. that's what it's being called. to honor the 17 classmates and faculty members killed by an armed former student just last month. the survivors have one very loud, very clear message on gun violence. never again. their frustrations gaining national momentum and driving the conversation on the polarizing gun control debate. those students are leading the march on washington right now but they don't stand alone. star power is backing them up here in the nation's capital. ariana grande, miley cyrus, lin-manuel miranda are a few of the names taking part today. you're looking at the main stage right there on pennsylvania avenue, hundreds of marches in fact scheduled

then washington, d.c., where i am. you can see in the midwest, chicago, and then seattle, the crowd is gathering there as well. though it's 10:20 a.m. so the shooting in parkland, florida, adds to a long list of gun related tragedies in the u.s. it's been nearly three years since news reporter allison parker and photo journalist adam ward were attacked on live television in roanoke, virginia, and killed. since that time, allison's father has become a strong voice against gun violence in our country. he and his wife barbara join us now. as the students from parkland lead the charge on the stage and we'll cut back to them whenever we can. thank you both so much. andy, it is so nice to finally meet you in person. >> indeed. likewise, alisyn. >> tell me why you both came here to washington, d.c. >> we had to be here for these kids. we had to be here for allison. and send a message to the people that aren't taking any action. >> you say they're not taking any action. things actually in the past 24 hours actually have happen

it's hollywood d.c. and that means that we're looking into the history not all of it but you know a good deal of history relating to the relationship between hollywood and the washington powerbrokers and what goes back really to the beginning of the birth of the war bonds you know using hollywood celebrities to sell war bonds for the first world war it's like the world war all the way through the blacklist as we know the tories blacklisting of hollywood screenwriters and then up to the present day two movies like american sniper lone survivor zero dark thirty and just trying to coalesce and understand what is this relationship basically between media film and and politics what's really interesting and we talk about it here on other levels is that all too often our mainstream media our you know all of this likes to smear anyone who dares connect a publicly proven daughter to as being conspiracy theorists we've seen this with the me too movement before that in sexual harassment in child sex abuse and holly

now because of the sheer size of this d.c. protest, an actual march will not occur, rather a rally along pennsylvania avenue. joining me now is a maryland high school senior who is marching today. daniel glio. i want to tell you all the pictures we see behind us are pictures that were taken from a march that you started. so you've got to be pretty proud of seeing what all has come of this. you're here marching, daniel. and the inspiration is what for you? >> i'm just tired of seeing people my age being slaughtered in classrooms. we shouldn't have to go to school in fear of being killed. we should be going to school to learn and to, like, be kids. you know? we shouldn't be concerned about how am i going to escape a class if a shooter comes in? i can only imagine what the parkland kids are going through right now. i would not want that on even my worst enemies. >> so what constitutes success for you from today's march? i mean, is it change in gun laws? i mean, that's going to take a bit as we have seen. for years we've been deal

you see craig is in washington, d.c. this morning ahead of the massive rally for gun control happening in a few hours. good morning, craig. >> hey, sheinelle jones. organizers calling it the march for our lives. half a million expected to march down constitution avenue ending to my right where the three-hour program is said to happen. people performing are lin-manuel miranda and miley cyrus an among the few. all of the scheduled speakers are students. many of whom who have been directly impacted by gun violence while much of the march was paid for by celebrities of george clooney and oprah. they are absent by design. they wanted the focus to remain on the students. in just a moment i'll be speaking to a mother who lost her daughter in the mass shooting in marjory stoneman douglas high school. as well as a student who had to hide in fear. let's get a preview of the events today. we turn to kerry sanders who is a stone's throw from me at the stage. kerry, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, craig. these kids are young

>> we all live here in d.c. >> you live in d.c. tell me what got you down here and perhaps more importantly, what did you think of the demonstration? >> it was really great to just see everyone come together and be out here in support of something that just seems like such common sense. you know, not having violence in schools and not being afraid for the teachers who teach there. my father was a teacher in new york city for 30-something years, and you know, i can't imagine had there been a gun in that school at any point. >> did you ever imagine that there would be a day where people gather like this in the streets to talk about something that the congress seems to have not been able to settle? >> never. i was blown away by the students today. i was in tears basically the entire time. you could tell it was coming from the heart. you know, they weren't even looking at their papers. they were just speaking their truth. >> but let's be honest. do we really think anything is going to change? >> yeah, i think this is a turning point. i
