we fight it every day. why the disease is spreading in one rural indiana community >> plus tavis smily talks about an american icon in his new ey talks about an american icon in his new book. we begin with a message from iran's supreme leader reminding us that the deal announced last week is just a framework. he said h a final deal to limit its nuclear program if economic sanctions are lifted on day one he accused the u.s. of lying and what he called devilish intentions. >>reporter: john good evening. no sooner had the deal been done last week that it became clear that the two sides had dramatic disagreements. so today it became clear again after those comments from top leaders in iran, the two sides are now in an open dispute. in jamaica for a regional summit, president obama stepped carefully around provocative comments by iran's top leaders. >> this is not done until it's done and the next two to three months of negotiations are going be absolutely critical. >>reporter: the president of iran is disputing the white house version of a key issue. how quickly will sanctions be lifted as a final deal is struck. >> we will not sign any agreement unless all economic sanctions are lifted on the very first day of implementation of the agreement. >>reporter: that's at odds with the obama administration which on thursday repeated its stance. sanctions relief will come gradually. >> suspension will be phased upon verification of iran's completion of specifics. >>reporter: on the treats of at the ran last week the deal was hailed as a break through but in his first public comments since then iran's supreme leader warned the agreement could yet fall apart. >> what has been said so far does not guarantee a deal and neither do the talks leading up to the deal. it doesn't even guarantee these talks will continue to the end and lead to a deal. >> another sticking point intrusive inspections of facilities at a moment's notice. but now iran says that doesn't include some military points. >> on that point, the american side is not budging verification and transparency to ensure all the pathways are closed down is an essential part of the agreement. >>reporter: just as president obama has his own domestic political concerns so do iran's leaders. observers say it's all part of the process. >> both sides are sending different messages to different audiences. in iran you have -- i think the ayatollah is telling them not to expect too much. >>reporter: on the american side congressional opponents are trying to scuttle the deal. this dispute gives them more ammunition against the president. >> he's not going to be able to solve this. that's why the deadline is june 30th. but right now it looks really bad. >>reporter: and, john an interesting poll result tonight from nbc news. they found that 68% of americans believe that iran is not likely or eh less than positively likely to keep up their end of the deal. a key date coming up next week tuesday, the senate foreign relations sits down to take up that legislation to give congress the right to give it a thumbs up or down. that effort now gaining strength all right. we have a professor of iranian and middle eastern history here in the studio tonight. good to have you. what do you make of this comment by the supreme leader? >> it should not be taken as alarmist. i think what he's doing is he's seen the last week in washington that people are pushing to have a harder deal as a bargaining position. i think he's also upping the demands saying that there should be immediate lifting of sanctions. but iran has made major concessions to get the agreement they already have. i can't see the supreme leader sabotaging that. >> but it sounds like he's sabotaging it. even those who might support this deal hear that and think you can't trust iran. they say one thing and then the next day they say something completely different >> it depends how you term lifting sanctions and implementation of the program. actually, in both of their statements from both washington and iran it was somewhat vague on how the process would be. so if he's taking it from the iranian point of view the most optimistic, from the u.s. point of view there will be more stringent. i think in negotiations they will come to a compromise as there will be a gradual lifting of sanctions. in fact it wouldn't be much of a gap because i think for iran it's quite easy to limit the uranium enrichment to that level they've agreed to. >> but iran doesn't have as much difficulty selling this to the iranian people as the u.s. does? >> no there is a considerable amount of opposition and i think also the statement he made was that basically while having an agreement doesn't mean iran is going to be good friends -- >> or to agree to it. >> yes. well -- >> that's what it sounded like. >> he has not opposed it. his representatives have agreed to it. >> that's a good question. what impact does the ayatollah have on negotiations here? >> well i think everything that negotiators brought to the table -- >> goes through him. >> has to go through him. he would not risk his own career by forwarding things with his own suggestion. >> that's why it's hard to understand. because if you agree to a framework of a deal and you have some of these things on the table, to come out just a few days later and challenge it it sounds like you're not talking to your gauchenegotiators. >> he's not challenging. his interpretation is somewhat different than in washington. and in washington too what is present there had is not necessarily what is presented here to the public. so there is a discrepancy on both sides. but it isn't a contradiction between the two. it's a different interpretation of what they've agreed to. >> bottom line is iran really wants this. >> desperately, yes. >> all right. good to have you on the program. thank you very much. now, new questions tonight about the police killing of an unarmed black man in south carolina. dash cam video from the officer's police car was released today showing the officer stopping walter scott's car. it shows scott running away. it does not show the shooting. we saw that in another video. today we learned this is not the first time he's been accused of excessive force. jonathan martin is in north charleston charleston south carolina with more. >>reporter: we see behind me crowds are gathered outside of city hall. many are protesters. some are also just concerned citizens who just left a city council meeting. there was no public comment portion in the meeting but the mayor said he would allow one of the protest organizers to speak, this on a day we learned more about michael slager and a complaint against him. >> he was, like put your hands up and he still taused me. >>reporter: he says -- >> he didn't really listen to me and if he would have listened to him, that man would be alive. >>reporter: they also released dash cam video from michael slager's patrol car. he walks up and tells scott he's being pulled over for a broken taillight and asks for his license and regulation. after a few minutes, you see the officer walk back to his vehicle. you hear commotion and the officer chasing scott but the rest of the encounter is not seen. calling the shooting death of michael scott outrageous black leaders in charleston gather to urge state police and the justice department to review other cases where they claim police failed to properly investigate. >> i've heard from others in the community who are now saying things have happened to them with the aggressive nature of the north charleston police department so we're going see how this unfolds with the good citizens of north charleston. >> the the most recent case is less than a year ago a 19 year old was killed. they said he committed suicide. the tape got lost of what actually happened. >>reporter: david madam speaker who lives in north charleston says the shooting of scott should force state leaders to take complaints of racial profiling and excessive force more seriously. he's pushing fellow law makers to require body cameras for every police officer in south carolina. >> we're going to take that up in both the house and the senate next week and hopefully this will be enough motivation to get it passed. >>reporter: after word the protesters were planning to block traffic by standing across charleston's busiest bridge police shut down the popular pedestrian trail nearby and stood ready to respond. organizers quickly announced the protest had been canceled. these protesters have gathered here tonight as they have for the last couple of nights. many say what they want to do is they want the city council to call an emergency meeting to address some of their concerns. they also say they want the council to set up a citizen review board but when directly asked today, the mayor said he's not ready to respond to say whether or not they plan to do that. >> so what happens next? >>reporter: well the next thing for the officer, that's the question a lot are asking, he remains in jail. his bond was revoked as we know. at this point it's not clear when his next court appearance will be but we know he has obtained a new attorney. the original attorney decided to remove himself from the case. so right now another attorney has been -- >> unfortunately we lost the feed there. but this story continues. the officer's mother spoke today. she said her life will never be the same. she also said she still has not seen the video of the shoot sglg i just have to take one day at a time. what will happen will happen. that's the way it will be. i can only hope that it's not forever forever. i just have to let it be and hope god takes care of everybody involved. not only my family but the scott family. because i know they're grieving just like i'm grieving. >> sharp says she now has to care for her pregnant daughter-in-law and take her to doctors appointments since her son is in jail. for months now, he's been pushing for statewide body camera legislation for police. it's good to have you on the program. give me a sense of what it's like in north charleston right now. >> well first of all, i want to give my heart felt condolences to the family the scott family. and also i want to give my thanks to the person who had the audacity as to film that most unfortunate incident because if it were not for that video that he took you and i would not be here in this world audience. so i want be clear on that. thank you for having me here. now, about a year and a half ago in the general assembly, i introduced two bills. house bill 30.57 and house bill 30.58. 30.57 30.57 is an outright mandate that all the law agencies within the state of south carolina have to adon the law officers while on duty with a body rn the law officers while on duty with a body camera. 20.58 asked that we form a committee committee. this committee would get back with us within a reasonable time as to do what we call an impact study to come back and tell us the cost it would take to adorn 900 state troopers with body cameras. so those are the two bills that i have now in subcommittee. >> and i understand why you're doing that. and obviously the video makes a difference in this case. you and i both have seen video that didn't work in other cases or sometimes the camera doesn't work or sometimes it's not pointed in the right direction. what else other than video cameras can your government do in order to make sure something like this doesn't happen again? >> well that's why i love to do research because about a year and a half ago, what i did, i had a forum. at that forum we invited three different representatives from three manufacturers that makes the body camera to come down and do a powerpoint presentation to address these concerns. believe me i always take people for a walk back in time. do you remember the infamous rodney king beating. back then we had the 20-pound cam video recorders. thank god that person took that infamous incident out there because if we did not have that then you would have dirty officer testimony as to why they had to beat this black male half to death. but here we are. 2015. now we speed it up by virtue of technology. we've gone from the dash cam to the body camera. and i got my research for the most part in this country from a place called rialto california. it's been shown when these body cameras are worn 60% of the time the law officers complaints of forceful arrest are dropped and then 88% of the time complaints about law officers drop. so if the truth is in the pudding, that's where we should start. >> okay. do you think that -- >> we need to catch up with modern day technology. >> right. do you think that your constituents believe the city of north charleston, the police of north charleston have done a good job since the video came out? >> well once again, thanks to that video, now we have the world audience. i think we're dealing with a cultural impact here. a deeply rooted in our history where we don't, in south carolina especially the law enforcement and our citizens is what we call a work in progress. because there is a distrust there by virtue of our history. especially during the civil rights movement. up to the present. so it's a work in progress. if i would have to stand here and tell you before this young man lost his life yes, we were working with law enforcement. grassroots organizations here. rainbow push. the national action network. al sharpton. the rainbow push coalition with jesse jackson. they have ground crew here doing a tremendous job as to enhance the relationship between our law enforcement and our community. it's a work in progress. the mistrust is still there. and we do have a problem in this country. this is not a local problem. this is a national problem when unarmed black men are unjustly being gunned down their lives being taken too early. so that's our problem here. it's a national problem. everybody needs to understand that. what happens in this country even when these cameras are gone what will happen if everybody goes back to his or her old ways. what i would encourage everybody in this community just like a told a couple of hundred young people which i was proud to see who have engaged in the process and showed their concerns you have to now gather that energy and do what they did in ferguson. >> representative -- >> they have to make a positive approach to their situation. you now have blacks that are being represented on city council. so that's an example to the whole country. all these young people need to look at that. we don't want that energy directed the wrong way. you can't trade hate for hate. i think that's a very important thing to say. >> representative thank you very much. >> in the united states a health crisis is growing. nearly 100 cases of hiv confirmed in rural indiana where the governor has declared a health emergency. officials blame a rise in intravenous drug use fuelled by poverty and loss of work. the town's only doctor says the problem is much bigger than austin. >> in many ways we're the canary canary in the coal mine. at the half hour we're going to take a look at the crisis in indiana. plus cuba and the united states will the relationship stand ahead of a historic summit for latin america? for latin america? [office phone chatter] [frogs croaking] you know what, let me call you back. what are you doing?! [scream] [frogs croaking] [yelling and screaming] it's back! xfinity watchathon week. the biggest week in television history. it's your all-access binge-watching pass to tv's hottest shows, free with xfinity on demand. xfinity watchathon week. now through april 12th. perfect for people who really love tv. president obama has just landed in panama for a historic edition of the summit of the america. it comes as the united states is weighing to remove cuba from its terrorist list. the state department is expected to send a recommendation to the president soon. daniel why is cuba on this list? >>reporter: well the u.s. first compiled its list in 1979 december 1979. it put cuba on the list a few years later in march, 1982. must not forget that's when the cold war was still pretty hot. it accused cuba at the time of being one of those countries that was a state-sponsor of terrorism. made particular reference to its work in the spanish-speaking world and in africa making reference to the farc in columbia the separatist groups in spain, and the rebels fighting against the government in angola at that time. the u.s. accused cuba at the time of aiding those groups and that was why it initially was but on the list. >> talk about why the united states would consider taking it off the list. >>reporter: many reasons. the world has changed. the cold war obviously ended in the early 90s. immediately after the withdrawal of the soviet union support of cuba in the 90s fidel castro said cuba was no longer aiding and abetting rebel groups around the world. the proof they might have been is very scarce since then. and also the situation has simply changed. if the united states and cuba wants to improve relations, they cannot do it if cuba remains on this list. but before that can happen the united states barack obama himself, has said that he wants a thorough investigation. he wants the state department to know 100% that cuba can be taken off that list. >> it would improve relations between the united states and cuba and also help cuba's economy; right? >>reporter: that's certainly the case. the economy has most cubans here will admit certainly needs some type of aid. it needs investments. the obvious country to aid is the united states being so close. that has not happened in the last 50 years or so. cuba, yeah is very keen to look for that kind of investment. over the last 50 years or so a great many obstacles, a great deal of resentment has built up between these two countries and that is noter not eradicated overnight. thank you. cuba gets about 115 billion oils a day from venezuela. but instability and poverty could jeopardize their status on the oil market. >>reporter: i think when we talk about what's happening here in this region particularly when it comes to venezuela, cuba the narrative that's being played out here in panama city at the summit of the americas is one of diplomacy. venezuela called on president obama to lift sanctions against top officials in venezuela. have you to look at the undercurrent of energy and the economy. we traveled to venezuela back in march and we have this report. >>reporter: this in many ways is why what happens in venezuela is so important. oil. venezuela has among the largest proven oil reserves in the world. but because it does not have enough domestic refineries an unlikely partnership has developed between the south american nation and the united states. venezuela is the third largest supplier of crude oil to the united states >> years ago, even under hugo chavez when he's talking about our president being the devil and other positions, the bottom line is the united states is the closest market for their oil. >>reporter: and the u.s. is still thirsty for oil. u.s. base refineries churn out crude in places like texas and illinois before sending the refined products back to venezuela. but some fens wailvenezuelan officials are unhappy. >> they've left us in a difficult situation because they seem to abandoned the investment we need to keep growing. >>reporter: but those critical of the government are often silenced. it was during that time the protesters took to the streets in several fens wayvenezuelan cities. this pack of gum actually costs more than filling up this entire suv. supporters argue that subsidies have eased financial burdens on the nation's poor but that's also led to a thriving black market and shortages as venezuela takes on more and more debt to keep those programs afloat. meanwhile, refineries have started replacing venezuelan crude with oil from khan khan oil sands. and as oil prices plummetcanadian oil sands. and as oil prices plummet. here in panama city at the summit of the americas likely mentioned, they've called on the united states to lift those sanctions and is using some of those petrol dollars that it subsidizes not only in its own countries but in neighboring nations to try to pressure the united states despite this moment of historic significance between cuba and the united states >> still ahead, hiv crisis in rural america. the fight to keep it from spreading. plus the vaccine debate. the new bill in california effectively making them mandatory. and this i think people inherently have the right to defend themselves. >> guns on campus. the next state that would allow college students to carry. e students to carry. we have signed today an executive order to stop an hiv crisis in its tracks. >> how it started and what's being done to stop this hiv crisis in indiana gun rights debate. thousands of nra supporters gather in tennessee and the new fight over firearms on college campuses. the vaccine wars. california responds to the measles outbreak with a new bill that some say limit freedom. plus paying tribute to maya angelou, an american original. one small town in rural indiana is suddenly the center of an hiv epidemic. the infections are being blamed on intravenous drug use. >> they have long been dealing with problems and diseases like hepatitis c. it's ranked the least healthiest in the state. many say the warning signs were there but little was done to stop the outbreak. >>reporter: she has struggled watching her hometown change. >> there are such good people here and, yeah i got torn up. sorry, guys. >>reporter: and loved ones dying. >> i've had five family members die of drug overdoses. >>reporter: you yourself? >> yes. so pretty dear to my heart. >>reporter: so dear she now works as a nurse joining what she sees as a fight for the town's life. they only have 4,000 people but this piece of the american heartland is at the heart of an epidemic facing the state's worst outbreak of hiv ever. 89 cases in just four months. how easy was it for you to get this drug? >> easy. >>reporter: much of it fed by a raging drug problem. >> it's become our favorite past time because, you know just you ain't got nothing to. >>reporter: he says last year he began using the town's drug of choice a prescription painkiller that addicts here illegally cook and inject. dirty needles spread disease. he says it's a miracle he's hiv negative. you want to get high. you don't think about that. >>reporter: you don't think about hiv? >> no. >>reporter: it could be any rural town in america. factory jobs here began drying up years ago. one in five now live in poverty. with only seven officers the police chief struggles to contain the crime in a town plagued by abandoned homes. >> we're aware of the problem and if we could stop it here we'd stop it everywhere. so there's no magic wand. we fight it every day. it's a war. >>reporter: to help that fight -- >> we have signed today an executive order. >>reporter: the governor recently declared a public health emergency. >> to stop this hiv outspread in its tracks. >>reporter: teams of workers arrived to set up a command center to offer testing, doctors, and counseling. >> i have worked with hundreds of people with hiv and i don't have hiv. >>reporter: all badly needed support that many here worry will disappear when the governor's order ex-priors in 30 days. >> i don't know where we'll be left when they pull out. it's really scary. >>reporter: adding to the anger state budget cuts in 2013 shut down a planned parent hood clinic one of the area's few hiv testing centers. and the town only has one doctor william cook. >> it's a burden to us by addressing the drug problem five or ten years ago but we didn't and this is the end result of that. >>reporter: but it's a result the state health department insists was impossible to predict >> in a perfect world all services would be available in all counties but that's just not the way it is. >>reporter: people are saying the health department ignored this problem and this county. >> i would say to that that the health department works with all 92 departments. >>reporter: she says the state the here for the long haul devoting considerable programs. when we began asking about the needle exchange program, the health department stopped the interview. >> that's all i have. >>reporter: why has that not started yet? >> we have to end. >>reporter: you're ending the interview now? >> we have another reporter. >>reporter: so you don't want to talk about the needle exchange program? okay. many in town appreciate the health department's work. >> i'm trying to make a bad situation into a good situation. >>reporter: he's getting help to turn his life around through counciling his church and people like mccarty. why do you do this? >> it could be your family member mine. that's why. >>reporter: neighbor helping neighbor in a town struggling with far more than a disease. that needle exchange program is now up and running. the state's goal is two weeks with no new hiv cases. once that happens, many worry the department will pull out and many problems that led to this won't be solved a battle over vaccinations in california. the state legislature advanced a bill forcing most parents to have their children vaccinated. jennifer london has more [applause]. >>reporter: a controversial california bill that would require children be vaccinate vaccinated before attending school passed its first test wednesday >> just for the safety of everyone's children everybody should be vaccinated. >> i don't think it's a good idea because it should be the parent's choice. >>reporter: the measure blocks parents from opting out of vaccines due to personal beliefs. supporters say the rise in measles and whooping cough cases is why the measure is needed. >> we can't have people fearing to go outside, so go to school to a store, public transport, to go to a theme part because they're worried about catching a disease like measles. >>reporter: but opponents are not sold. >> we should have policies that encourage full vaccination, full coverage, but that's not going to happen until -- >> i think forcing children to do anything is not right. i think parents should be able to raise the child according to their beliefs. >>reporter: all 50 states require measles vaccinations for students but 19 states give parents the choice. an outbreak of measles first linked to disney land in california in january put the state in the center of the vaccine fight. california also has several communities with a high concentration of parents who have opted out of vaccinations. >> i have a stepson who developed autism after a full set of shots and he hit 105 for five days and that was the last he was really connected to what was going on. >>reporter: there is no credible scientific evidence that vaccinations somehow overload a child's immune system but the belief persists and dr. hicks is sought after by parents who share his views. >> my job is to figure out what the parents really want and believe and then support them in that because if a parent believes these vaccines are going to create a problem, they may create a problem. >>reporter: but other doctors have decided to turn away toddlers who are not vaccinated. >> our duty is to the patients in our office and also to the entire community and to the many patients in our practice who could not be immunize against the measles. >>reporter: supporters say parents could still choose not to vaccinate. >> certainly you have a choice still, however, that choice has consequences. if you decide you don't want to vaccinate your child, you can still do that you'll just have to home school your child so they're not with other children where they may be able to infect other children. >>reporter: if the bill backs law, california mississippi, and west virginia will have the strictest vaccine rules in the country guns and politics take center stage in nashville, tennessee where the nra is holding its annual convention. eight states allow them in public universities. florida would be next but there's strong opposition especially at florida state university. robert ray has that. >>reporter: in november, former student myron may stormed onto the campus of florida state university and started shooting. police killed the gunman but not before he shot three students paralyzing one of them. >> no drama, i don't deal well with drama. >>reporter: fuelled by this shooting, some state politicians are pushing a bill that would legalize concealed carry of handguns on florida's public university campuses. >> you can carry in a restaurant shopping plaza. >>reporter: iraq war veteran and republican state representative is sponsoring the bill. >> a lot of people think that 21 year olds don't have the experience the backpacks and bullets don't mix. what do you say to that? >> my first response to the age issue is we don't have a problem with 17 and 18-year-olds swearing an oath to the constitution and entering into the u.s. military. >>reporter: the director of the florida state university student government associate doesn't agree. >> there's going to be a lot of suspicion and worrying. it's going to be a state of absolute chaos and it's only going to lead to a dangerous situation and it's only going to lead to more opportunity for students to get injured or possibly killed. >>reporter: are you sure this will be safe for students on campus? unlike many other democrats, this state representative supports the bill saying it will allow many women on campus to be safe from predators. >> we need to be able to protect ourselves. this is what -- you know not everybody should have a gun. not everybody will want a gun. but those who do want guns as part of their personal protection strategy i think should have it. >>reporter: you think that if someone is on campus that is armed and dangerous, those people with the guns will be able to stop them? >> i don't know but let's give them a chance. i think that's a possibility. and frankly i'm not one who wants to be a sitting duck. >>reporter: now, if the bill is passed it would require that each person be 21 years or older and have a concealed carry gun permit to walk on any campus here in the state of florida with a loaded handgun. but really the main concern right now from a lot of people is weapons training of which there is very little required. >> we're talking 45 minutes and then you walk in the back of a trailer, shoot a 22 into aback of a target and, boom you're certified. >>reporter: she's campaigning against the bill. she's a registered gun owner, spent her childhood around firearms. she says the bill is dangerous, especially for young students. >> kids do whatever they want. when they're drunk, they pull out their guns and do all kinds of things. as a matter of fact it's this snap chat user called fsu snap and it's kids with illegal guns and other kinds of guns and you see them drinking and pointing it and it's crazy. i don't feel safe. >> we talked to some students that say kids are kids and they're going to do whatever they want, drinking some are doing drugs, hormones are raging. guns should not be in their hands. >> i go back to when i went to college. i went to the university of florida. all of that didn't happen on campus. all that happened in apartment complexes and fraternity houses off of campus and they can carry there now and it's not a problem. so if they're carrying off campus where all that is going on then why letting them carry on campus would suddenly create problems. >>reporter: in a recent joint statement, the florida board of governors, university police chiefs and presidents from all 12 florida public universities voiced strong opposition to the campus conceal carry laws. they wrote, removing that long standing protection is contrary to the values we embrace and could create new challenges in our ability to provide a safe and secure learning environment. al jazeera reached out to florida state's president, the campus chief of police and students for concealed carry at fsu. they all declined our request for interviews. >> if they did not want guns -- >>reporter: in the meantime state law makers have until may 1st to vote on the bill. robert ray, al jazeera, tallahassee, florida now to an extraordinary new documentary out of syria that takes us inside the besieged city of holmes. antonio moore is here with the story you'll see in the next hour. >> the return to homes is a film that provides a look inside syria most of us have never seen. it follows two young men from their days as arab spring revolutionaries to when their hopes go away and they pick up arms against president assad. the director says he wants people to know what's happening inside syria. he will join us in our next hour and tell us how he chose the people he followed. >> all right. thank you. still ahead, remembering an unmistakable voice. >> maya just had a gift. she could not even take credit for it. you don't speak for five and a half years and you become one of the greatest orators in the world, clearly it's a gift. >> my conversation with tavis smiley and his relationship with may i can't angloa anglo -- actngelouangelou. angelou. maya angelou touched the hearts of people around the world. tavis smiley shares the details of their relationship in his new book. i asked him about their friendship. >> it was mentor mentee. this book is about how we should model being mentors to young people in our lives. for me though she eatly became a mother. at one point she asked me to young tavis, you must call me something else to call me. i said how about sister. and she said i could be your mother. and i said how about mother maya. but to be in new york city she passes away the day before. i could not walk into this convention center here in new york without doing a tribute to her and it was after doing that tribute that the idea came to actually put my relationship down on the pages of this book. >> she gave you a lot of advice. >> a lot of it. >> tell me the best advice she gave you. >> she said very simply to me but repeatedly john that we find our path by walking it. for all the advice examples shared counsel delivered to me she ultimately said you will only find your path by walking it. and i knew that meant i had to discover things on my own. she could not tell me my role in the world, help my find my voice. hi to walk my path and find it for myself. >> she was tough but gentle with you it sounds from this book. she didn't always agree with your journalistic approach. >> right. there were a number of things we disagreed about. i said to her my role as an advocacy journalist is to raise issues that need to be raised. if i can hold clinton and the bushes accountable, i got to hold barack obama accountable. i don't hate the president. but i still have to hold him accountable to the best interest of the american people. the thing about that conversation and many others we had we agreed and disagreed about, the n word we disagreed about clarence thomas no conversation i ever had with her that we were or weren't agreeing on it always ended with a love note. >> she was a singer as well. a dancer. a poet. she'd done it all. but, i mean in some of these, where you quote her in this book, it almost seems to me did you record her in some of these conversations >> >> some of these conversations were recorded in part because after over a dozen interviews on pbs and npr, i had a lot of transports. number two, i kept a journal. every day i where something down. so whenever i would see maya i would run and make cope hilarious notes about what happened i also was able to consult her own writings. >> you capture her voice in so many ways either literally or in spirit. one thing she talks about is jazz improvization when you're at a restaurant. just her description is musical. it is luhr cal. powerful. sounds like one of her speeches. >> that's how she yrical. powerful. sounds like one of her
