the prosecution says these two men, the defendants on trial, they got out with knives and a meat cleaver and tried to decapitate lee rigby. this was a cowardly attack, according to the prosecution, and as if to show off their barbarism in the weird word -- words of the prosecution, lee rigby was dragged out into street where there were members of the public witnessing what was going on. and the defendants started sp k speaking about how they carried out the attack as a demand for the withdrawal of western forces from muslim lands some members of the public tried to help lee rigby. and one woman did engage one of the defendants in conversation, despite the fact that he was still holding the meat cleaver and talking of mar -- martyrdom. the court has now finished hearing evidence for the day, but the trial is expected to go on until at least the end of this year. >> tim friends in central london. thanks, tim. >>> russia has freed the last of 30 people detained after a green peace protest in arctic waters. australian colin [ inaudible ] walked free from jail on friday. russell was among 30

. >> to discuss the interview, joining me now are congressman emanuel cleaver and ryan grim from the "huffington post." >> good to be with you, reverend. >> congressman, the president says his job is to get it fixed. what's your reaction? >> i think the president set the right tone. he was not argument or backing away from responsibility. and i think the greatest challenge to anyone when something goes awry is making it right. that's what he did today. the most dangerous time for a driver is when the highway is open and the sun is bright and people aren't paying as much attention as they should. and it is stormy that people pay the most attention. so i think the affordable care act is getting all kinds of attention it would not normally get. some of that is good. the president is saying i would make it right. let me say this. i'm having difficulty with the word "mislead." the president did not mislead. he misspoke. and to misspeak is to say something that is incorrect. not untrue, but incorrect. so i hope people will see a difference between mislead and misspoke. and real difference.

joining me now is congressman emmanuel cleaver, a democrat from missouri. thanks for your time tonight, congressman. >> yes, good to be with you, reverend. >> now that speaker boehner is happily enrolled in obama care, any chance he'll have a change of heart and join you in trying to make the law work better? >> no, i don't think there's any chance because i think the republicans have designed a pathway to retaining the house and winning the senate and maybe even the presidency ultimately by attacking obama care. and they're going to continue to do it even as they are all enrolling in it with their families. and they perhaps don't understand or need to be reminded that it is foolish to blow out a candle if you don't have another candle that's brighter and bigger to eliminate the darkness. and they don't have a candle. that's the problem. they cannot present light. so the only thing remaining is to attack, criticize. it's always important to find out the purpose behind criticism because it then reveals the legitimacy of criticism. there's nothing behind this

cleaver, for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. [inaudible conversations] i can't recall the date, but like many of you we all probably studied or became familiar with this dawn to dusk discussion and debate at the beginning of the 19th century between albert einstein and don hobart, and maybe i'm the only person in the room with this kind of stuff but they had a dawn to dusk debate on physics and one of the reporters who covered this discussion was -- wrote that they were talking past each other which is kind of either the beginning of that phrase, although i think it goes back to some kind of english theater, talking past each other and that's what's happening here. i was speaking to a group of people. .. i met him back when i preached and many times that the st. louis community united methodist church which he attended, and i didn't agree with him. i would never, ever in this committee or anywhere else accuse him of coming to take his check and not caring about his job. i'm sorry that has been said. i apologize. i need all these

i join my colleagues cleaver and hines for extending their apologies. because sometimes i think we forget when we talk about challenging your commitment to public service and putting that in question today, i find it very ironic that some of my same colleagues who question your integrity are the same people who furloughed some 800,000 that cost theees government some $24 billion and certainly reduce job growth and a hundred 20,000 jobs because of our shutdown. how does that tie in today? i think we look at the housing market and we look at growth and the economy and jobs, there is a direct linkage. i memo said today that we were going to talk about and ask you questions so that we could share and learn more about the recent fha announcement about the mmi f. so something i read them i would like you to answer for me if this is factual in truth because in hearing, i think we have an obligation to the people who are here and to america to speak the facts and the truth and then look at how we dissect that to come to some and resolve. so what i have before m

has been one of the longest-serving congressmen ever within the african-american ranks and emmanuel cleaver and maxine waters and the like. so in other words, is there a bit of nay saying going on, exaggeration or frustration of the president not feeling the entire black congressional caucus supporting him? >> as you know, and as james alluded to, the president has had a complicated relationship with the african-american community throughout, right? and that's kind of -- i feel like that's like a family conversation and i'm sorry to see that conversation spilled out on to the pages of a book that is -- the reason i don't like these kinds of books is that you have to remember that there are lots of blind quotes and lots of people who are off the record in some places and is on the record in other places so it makes it very hard to -- i say it's like 50% fiction, 50% potential fact. because we don't know what the origination of this conversation was. you know, i certainly remember that period in time. and a person was uncomfortable with this idea of challenging the president's blackness, beca

we have to come to terms with the fact that traditional marriage is not what it used to be when june cleaver was around. the bottom line is this. i am being pragmatic. gay marriage, gay rights, that train left the station. by the end of this year there is going to be 17 states in the district -- and the district of columbia that allow gay marriage. it's very hard to take away rights once you have given them. it's easy not to give them in the first place. we are going to see what it means in terms of the family and marriage and the sanctity of marriage and all that. i agree you cannot force a religion. the reality today is there are going to be probably 17 states by the end of this year -- we are waiting for the illinois ought to get signed and new mexico to be decided, but there could be up to 17 states by the end of this year and the next several months that have gay marriage. that number is going to grow. this debate is on the brink of becoming moot. >> surely there are some social costs. if we look at countries such as the netherlands and sweden, cohabitation is getting greater. >> is tha

cleaver: thank you, mr. speaker. my son played basketball and i went down to see his game as often as i could, and on one occasion we are driving around in his car, we are in a busy intersection, and the car stops. i didn't know what was wrong, but eventually i realized that he simply didn't have gas in it. i was not happy. but i didn't stand outside of the car and continue to talk to him about the fact that the car stopped running and needed gas. what we did we tried to get some gas, get the car out of the busy intersection because a lot of people were trying to get bye. it would have been no value for me to stand there and lecture him or talk about how horrible the situation was. we wanted to fix it. that's the same thing with the affordable care act. there are some problems. i think it would be crazy for anybody to say there are not problems, but the law's already been passed by congress, signed by the president, upheld by the supreme court of the united states. we would be infinitely better off if we gave our tim
