UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It was always a question mark.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The parents had never been told.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: They're trying to conceal what they did from the people they did it to.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: There's still so much that we don't know.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: How could you not tell us?
ANNOUNCER: "THREE IDENTICAL STRANGERS," tonight at 9:00 Eastern on CNN.
FREDRICKA WHITFIELD, CNN ANCHOR: Hello, everyone. Thanks so much for joining me this Sunday. I am Fredricka Whitfield. Live pictures right now out of Oakland, California, where Senator Kamala Harris will soon formally kick off her presidential campaign rally. While the Democratic 2020 field is still developing, it is filling up rather fast.
We'll go to Oakland as soon as Kamala Harris comes out. Meantime, eight different candidates, take a look right there, have either declared that they are running for president or have formed exploratory committees. And it's already the most diverse in modern political history, four women, one Asian man, one Hispanic man, and a gay man.
On top of these eight candidates, there are still question marks surrounding former Vice President Joe Biden, who has not made public whether he will enter the race. CNN has learned that Hillary Clinton has told friends that she has not closed the door on a potential run. Let's discuss all of this now and how it will all shake out. With me now is Democrat Nina Turner, President of Our Revolution and Organization started by Bernie Sanders.
[16:35:01] Republican Tera Setmayer, the Board Director for Stand Up Republic, and Democratic political strategist Joe Trippi. Good to see all of you. All right, so Joe, you first, you know, we've seen a very unified Democratic Party over the last few weeks in Congress. Will that same kind of Pelosi/Schumer driven unity be carried into this 2020 race?
JOE TRIPPI, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Look, I think there's going to be a really spirited race. I think this field is likely to double or triple from the eight that are already in. It's going to be a very diverse field, a very -- and not just diverse in terms of people of color, women, and those kinds of, you know, gender and demographics but also diverse views. I mean, very diverse.
WHITFIELD: Is that good? The more the merrier or does that make it confusing for people to, you know, make a selection when it comes down to finding that Democratic nominee?
TRIPPI: It'll narrow down, obviously, over time. But I think there are going to be a bunch of divisions. I mean there's a generational -- it's time for a new generation or are we going with somebody who's been around a lot longer and has experience, be it ideological? And I also think there will be sort of, you know, inside, outside -- I mean, there are going to be three or four, five, six different kinds of candidates.
mean, you know, what might be that leading message or candidate? Because during the 2016 race, there was a lot of criticism that, you know, Democrats didn't seem to have a message, you know? I mean for Hillary Clinton, you know, it was stronger together, but that was criticized as being, you know, too vague. So will it be, you know, a moderate message, a left-leaning message? What's the likelihood, Nina?
NINA TURNER, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Fred, it needs to be more anti-Donald Trump. And that's something that the Democratic Party is going to have to grapple with and all of the candidates. And your point about the more the merrier, I want it to be the more the merrier. Let the roller coaster ride begin. It's going to be rip- roaring. But it definitely has to be, you know, there are about 40 million people in this country who live in poverty.
If the shutdown showed us nothing more than people are living paycheck to paycheck, a large number of people in this country live paycheck to paycheck. What kinds of things can we do and put into place to bring some more certainty to the everyday men and women of this country, be they black, be they white, brown, yellow, red, or the swirl in between?
So this really is going to have to be about a vision for the American people, for once, and not the people who already have the most in this country.
WHITFIELD: And Tara, perhaps in a matter of moments, I will have to interrupt, you know, our conversation. Kamala Harris may make the distinction of, you know, what she stands for. We understand that, you know, she will be talking about possibly Medicare for all, you know, a middle class tax cut, education access, criminal justice, you know, reform, climate change.
But earlier in the week in D.C., because she's had a few rollouts of, you know, I am about to run. You know she was asked, you know, why she was running. And she says I love this country. And then she was asked, you know, how will she stand up and stand out against Donald Trump? Take a listen to her response.
SEN. KAMALA HARRIS (D), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: When it comes to talking about how we fight for the American people and have leadership in this country that is focused on the needs of the people instead of self-interest, I am prepared to fight that way. And I believe it will be a winning fight.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Seventeen or more other Democrats say that they love their country. Why are you better than they?
HARRIS: I think the voters will decide.
(END VIDEO CLIP) WHITFIELD: All right. So Tara, you know, you know, not long after that, her fundraising spiked more than $1 million in just 30 hours. So is this a clever example of kind of wait and see?
TARA SETMAYER, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Yeah. I think that she's done a good job of introducing herself to people. I mean most people don't know who Kamala Harris is. Her name ID is pretty low. And that's the challenge for so many Democratic candidates. I would hope that my Democratic friends across the aisle would learn from the jungle primary that the Republicans went through and what happened when so many candidates stayed in the race for vanity campaigns and they allowed Donald Trump to solidify his base of support about 10 or 15 percent.
WHITFIELD: So how do Democrats learn from that?
SETMAYER: If I am a strategist for them, I would hope that they would learn from that by as many people that are in the race in the beginning to try to maybe get name ID or, you know, auditioning for vice president, that they don't stay in the race too long and allow the fringes to be able to solidify their base. And the next thing you know, it pushes out someone who could beat Donald Trump.
[16:40:00]Democrats need to focus on who can beat Donald Trump. And in my opinion, and I am hoping as someone who is a Republican who does not support Donald Trump, who is looking for a viable Democratic candidate that in my opinion could beat Donald Trump, which would be Joe Biden. And he does have the highest name ID. He has the most experience. He has the ability to appeal to people like me who are in kind of political no-man's land.
And he can appeal to some of the blue-collar voters that Donald Trump pulled from the Obama coalition. Donald Trump -- Joe Biden is that guy. And maybe some of these other newer candidates that people don't know. He can pull them in for the fresher voice as a VP. That's what I am hoping happens for Democrats so they have a real chance at beating Donald Trump.
WHITFIELD: So then Joe, Joe Biden, you know, he is kind of testing the waters. He's considered, you know, kind of the more moderate, you know, (Inaudible). It has her exploratory, you know, committee and has proudly kind of more progressive pushing for the idea of taxing the rich more. Bernie Sanders, you know, again, considering, and now Hillary Clinton reportedly again considering.
So where would the momentum be? And kind of what you spoke of earlier is it the fresh or is it the veteran, what's the likelihood?
vice president that doesn't get it. But that's a fact. And it's a formidable one. The other side of this though is so many -- all these candidates, some of them are announcing today, as Kamala is doing her speech in Oakland, but they've been planning this for a long time.
She's been building a social media following for over the last year, spending a lot of time, effort, money. So Bernie Sanders has one. Elizabeth Warren has one. There's a lot more staying power. Beto O'Rourke, if he gets in.
WHITFIELD: OK. And Joe, what a great queue up, because now Senator Kamala Harris is about to take to the stage, they just made an announcement. She's there in Oakland. This is home for her, her birthplace. This is where, you know, she made her mark as a prosecutor for the first time in a courthouse really just down the street from this city hall location. Let's listen in.
HARRIS: Oh, what's up, Oakland? OK, oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, my heart is full right now. Thank you everyone. Let me start. I want to thank Libby Schaaf, the great Mayor of the city of Oakland for that incredible introduction and our longstanding friendship.
You know our mothers were friends together also here in Oakland. And I can't thank you, Libby, enough for your leadership and your friendship. So here we are. Here we are. Here we are. Let me tell you. I am so proud to be a daughter of Oakland, California. And as most of you know, I was born just up the road at Kaiser Hospital. And it was just a few miles away that my parents first met as graduate students at UC Berkeley, where they were active in the civil rights movement.
[16:44:59] And they were born half a world apart from each other. My father, Donald, came from Jamaica to study economics. My mother, Shamala, came from India to study the science of fighting disease. They came here in pursuit of more than just knowledge. Like so many others, they came in pursuit of a dream. And that dream was a dream for themselves, for me, and for my sister Maya.
As children growing up here in the east bay, we were raised by a community with a deep belief in the promise of our country and a deep understanding of the parts of that promise that still remain unfulfilled. We were raised in a community where we were taught to see a world beyond just ourselves, to be conscious and compassionate about the struggles of all people.
as a young district attorney. I walked into the courtroom for the first time and said the five words that would guide my life's work, Kamala Harris for the people. Now, I knew our criminal justice system was deeply flawed, but I also knew the profound impact law enforcement has on people's lives and its responsibility to give them safety and dignity.
I knew I wanted to protect people. And I knew that the people in our society who are most often targeted by predators are also most often the voiceless and vulnerable. I believe -- and on that point, and on that point, I believed -- and on that point, I believed then as I do now, no one should be left to fight alone. Because you see, in our system of justice, we believe that harm against any one of us is harm against all of us.
That is why when a case is filed, it doesn't read the name of the victim, it reads the people. And this is a point I have often explained to console and counsel survivors of crime, people who faced great harm, often at the hands of someone they trust, be it a relative or a bank or a big corporation. I would remind them, you are not invisible. We all stand together, because that is the power of the people.
And my whole life, I have only had one client, the people. And fighting for the people meant fighting on behalf of survivors of sexual assault, a fight not just against predators but a fight against silence and stigma. For the people meant fighting for a more fair criminal justice system at a time when prevention and redemption were not in the vocabulary or mind set of most district attorneys.
[16:50:18] We created an initiative to get skills and job training instead of jail time for young people arrested for drugs, for the people meant fighting for middle-class families who had been defrauded by banks and were losing their homes by the millions in the great recession. And I will tell you. Sitting across the table from the big banks, I witnessed the arrogance of power, wealthy bankers accusing innocent homeowners of fault as if Wall Street's mess was of the people's making.
So we went after the five biggest banks in the United States. We won $20 billion for California homeowners. And we passed -- and together, we passed the strongest anti-foreclosure law in the United States of America. We did that together. For the people meant fighting transnational gangs who traffic in drugs and guns and human beings, and I saw their sophistication, their persistence, and their ruthlessness.
heard, and if they were seen, their leaders would do the right thing. I saw the same thing with our dreamers. They came by the thousands by plane, train, automobile. I'm sure they were sleeping 10 deep on someone's living room floor. And they came because they believe in our democracy and the only country they have ever known as home.
I met survivors who shared their deepest and post painful personal experiences, who told stories they had never before revealed even to their closest loved ones, because they believed that if they were seen, that their leaders would do the right thing and protect the highest court in our land. And together, we took on these battles. And to be sure, we've won and we've lost. But we have never stopped fighting.
We have never stopped fighting. And that's why we are here today, and that's why we are here today. We are here knowing. We are at an inflection point in the history of our world. We are at an inflection point in the history of our nation. We are here because the American dream and our American democracy are under attack and on the line like never before. And we are here at this moment in time because we must answer a fundamental question.
[16:54:38] Who are we? Who are we as Americans? So let's answer that question to the world and each other right here and right now. America, we are better than this. We are better than this. When we have leaders who bully and attack a free press and undermine our democratic institutions, that's not our America, when white supremacists march and murder in Charlottesville or massacre innocent worshippers in a Pittsburgh synagogue, that's not our America.
When we have children in cages crying for their mothers and fathers, don't you dare call that border security, that's a human rights abuse. And that's not our America. When we have leaders who attack public schools and vilify public school teachers, that is not our America. When bankers who crashed our economy get bonuses but the workers who brought our country back can't even get a raise, that's not our America.
And when American families are barely living paycheck to paycheck, what is this administration's response? Their response is to try and take healthcare away from millions of families. Their response is to give away $1 trillion to the biggest corporations in this country. And their response is to blame immigrants as the source of all our problems. And guys, let's understand what's happening here.
People in power are trying to convince us that the villain in our American story is each other. But that is not our story. That is not who we are. That is not our America. You see, our United States of America is not about us versus them. It's about, we, the people. And in this moment, we must all speak truth about what is happening. We must seek truth, speak truth, and fight for the truth. So let's speak some truth, shall we?
Let's speak truth about our economy. Our economy today is not working for working people. The cost of living is going up, but paychecks aren't keeping up. For so many Americans, a decent retirement feels out of reach, and the American dream feels out of touch. The truth is our people are drowning in debt, record student loan debt, car loan debt, credit card debt, resorting to payday lenders because you can't keep up with the bills.
People are drowning in America. We have a whole generation of Americans living with a sinking fear that they won't do as well as their parents. And let's speak another truth about our economy. Women are paid, on average, 80 cents on the dollar, black women 63 cents, Latinas, 53 cents. And here's the thing. And here's the thing. When we lift up the women of our country, we lift up the children of our country. We lift up the families of our country, and the whole of society benefits.
TWO hundred and seventy six million dollars may sound like a lot of money to some, but for the National Youth Service (NYS) it is barely a drop in the bucket to reach the 14,000 young people it targets through about a dozen programmes each year.
The figure is 68 per cent of the NYS's budgetary allocation froam Government, the remainder of which covers salaries and administrative costs.
"It is more than we got last time around... but it is not enough," chairman of the NYS board Maureen Webber told reporters and editors at the Jamaica Observer Monday Exchange yesterday.
"That's why we are leveraging support from the private sector and other donors."
Included in leveraging support, as Webber puts it, is making "polite requests" of public or private sector companies to put up some of the funds to compensate NYS participants engaged particularly through the service's summer programme.
The stipend paid by NYS now ranges from $6,000 to $8,000 per week.
"All we're asking entities to do, in terms of our summer employment programme, is to pay a third of the cost, that's one week, while we pay for two weeks. What that does is provide the opportunity for us to take on another participant," Community Services Director Omar Newell explained.
Webber and Newell were guests at the Observer newspaper's Beechwood Avenue headquarters. They were accompanied by Nickeshia Lindsay, deputy director, community services; Naketa West, acting programmes director, and communications consultant Patrique Goodall.
The NYS, which started in 1973 as a vehicle through which young people could access employability skills training, caters to underserved youth ranging from 17-24 years. In addition to a summer programme, it manages empowerment, enrichment, access to higher education (AHEP), events production, information and communications technology, graduate work experience (GWEP), and volunteer programmes.
"The summer programme is our largest programme and it takes around $100 million," Newell said.
"GWEP takes about $74 million; AHEP gets approximately $30 million; Empowerment, approximately $24 million; Enrichment $25 million or so; and volunteerism, which may overlap with some of the others, $5 million," he added.
On the subject of salaries, Webber lamented over what she said was a high turnover rate due to salaries "well below the average" for her staff complement of just over 30 across the island.
"Our salary levels are abysmal. I struggle to retain my staff. We're like an incubator... They'll stay for two years and then leave. We can't hold on to people," she said yesterday.
"We have very good talent, but I don't even give them a million bucks to take home a year," the NYS chair continued.
The organisation's staff comprises field officers, programme managers, a career counsellor, a placement services coordinator; HR, IT and finance personnel, as well as administrative and other support staff.
#ScreentimeBU is an annual academic conference in June put on by the graduate students from Division of Emerging Media Studies at Boston University. The Emerging Media Studies is a one-year Master’s program in the College of Communication, dedicated to research on emerging media characteristics, their applications in the industry, and their effects on both human beings and the society. Students of this program, equipped with both professional and academic expertise, are able to either enter the industry directly after graduation or continue pursuing a Ph.D. degree.
The #ScreentimeBU conference aims to provide an opportunity for researchers in the field of digital media and communication to exchange their attitudes, stances, and opinions on the heated issues haunting today’s media landscape. By showcasing their insightful research, the scholars at the conference can inform people of the latest research accomplishments, communicate with colleagues on critical topics, as well as hint at future research directions in the communication fields.
This upcoming summer, we are welcoming the conference’s fourth success in a row.
This year, as another year identified by the thriving new media platforms and technologies along with doubts and scandals around online privacy, urges us as communication researchers to delve into the underlying mechanism of digital media, big data and how they have been influencing the real world. Following this, we are thrilled to introduce our theme of this year: #NoFilter: Unmasking Digital Engagement and Real World Influence.
Going off from this year’s theme above, we offer the following tentative topics, the research papers under which are deemed eligible for submission. If there is any other relevant topic which we haven’t covered but you think is applicable, you are also more than welcomed to submit your research.
What’s next for an Emerging Media Studies graduate?

It's true! This is all I want for Christmas. I don't want socks. Nope. All I want is a shiny new Moog. Santa, please?
This delightful ditty by San Antonio electro-poppers Hyperbubble is a lot of fun, but the claymation video by Ambar Navarro might just be the best part. My word, those synthesizer replicas are accurate. I see microKorgs and a slick Moog Prodigy. What other synths am I missing?
CHELSEA are even WORSE than they look.
That is the damning verdict of former Stamford Bridge hero Michael Ballack.
The ex-Chelsea midfield ace admits that playing against his underperforming old team-mates brought home to him just what a massive crisis they are facing.
Andre Villas-Boas’ team crashed to a third defeat in five matches as they lost 2-1 to Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday, leaving their Champions League campaign teetering on the brink.
Villas-Boas is under huge pressure, just five months after being appointed by notoriously trigger-happy owner Roman Abramovich.
Failure to win against Wolves tomorrow could see Chelsea slip to seventh by Sunday night.
And if the Blues fail to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time in the Abramovich era – they need to beat Valencia at home or draw 0-0 in 11 days’ time – the Portuguese coach looks sure to be sacked.
“We knew before the game they were in a difficult moment,” said Ballack, who played more than 100 games for Chelsea between 2006 and 2010.
“But it’s only when you play against a team on the pitch that you see what is really happening. You get a clearer picture than when you just see a team on television.
“We could feel it on the pitch, especially at the beginning of the match, that they were not as strong as they normally are.
"Even when they were 1-0 up, we could sense that, that they didn’t have the strength mentally that they normally have.
“We felt that on the pitch and even though we were lucky to score in the last minute, we thought we had a chance of doing that.
“It is still in their hands. If they beat Valencia at home they will go through, but it’s not the best moment for them.
“It’s difficult for me to say the reasons. I’m not in the dressing room so I’m not that close to what is going on.
owned the club. “I played four years for Chel-sea and I know how quickly it can go,” said Ballack, who was denied a goal by the cross- bar and two superb saves by Petr Cech. “I had a few managers in that short time! It is always difficult for the coach.
“I know he is young and has ambitions and is a good guy. He had success at his last team.
“At the moment it is not that easy for them. But that is not just about the coach, it is about the players too. They have to get out of this situation.
Villas-Boas admits his players have lost their confidence and are in “a negative spiral of results”.
who won the World Cup with Brazil in 2002 – on February 9 2009 in his first season with the club.
And worryingly for Villas-Boas, Chelsea were fourth at the time and still in the Champions League.Scolari had lost four league games and one in Europe – something Villas-Boas has already managed by the end of November.
Scolari’s replacement at Chelsea for the rest of the 2008-2009 season was Dutch coach Guus Hiddink, who was also managing Russia at the same time.
Hiddink is available and looking for work again, having parted company with Turkey last week.
