Smithsonian director Rick Potts defends accepting money from climate change denier David Koch. TRANSCRIPT: David Koch is a philanthropist, who is deeply interested in science. He's funded the dinosaur halls, for example, in the American Museum of Natural History. He gave a lot of money to the Lincoln Center and its refurbishing. He has a lot of interest in human evolution that goes back to about thirty or forty years. And so, uh, as is true with all Smithsonian policy, our donors have no control over the content of our science or scholarship of our exhibits. And the same is true in this case. We feel very grateful for David Koch's contributions to helping, I hope, the American public and us being able to bring science to them. Q: Don't you think you're greenwashing his record by accepting his money? A: No, we find no contradiction in what we've done. Thank you.
United Nations, New York, 22 February 2010 - Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon addressed a special event today (22 February) where he called on the philanthropic community to do more to target women with its aid programmes. In his speech to the event Engaging Philanthropy to Promote Gender Equality and Womens Empowerment he told the audience that its engagement is already helping to transform the lives of women and societies, but full empowerment requires more progress in two key areas: expanding economic opportunity and ending violence against women. Ban noted that violence against women undermines development, generates instability, and sets back peace and stressed that there should be no tolerance for the use of rape as a weapon of war; no excuses for domestic violence and no looking the other way when it comes to sex trafficking, so-called honor crimes or female genital mutilation. The special event, which takes place on International Corporate Philanthropy Day in the United States, aims to raise awareness among the philanthropic community on the progress made and the challenges faced in the achievement of Millennium Development Goal 3 to promote gender equality and empower women. The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, who has long supported charities that serve women and children, went off script and told the audience that we must uphold the Millennium Development Goals; we must do it now; I am the voice of women and mothers in the world and I will carry on talking about ...

Series Premiere Wednesday, June 24th 10/9c ON NBC! NEVE CAMPBELL INTERVIEW Filmed in South Africa, Mozambique and Prague, "The Philanthropist," starring James Purefoy ("Rome"), is an eight-part drama for NBC that follows the heroic adventures of Teddy Rist, billionaire playboy-turned-vigilante philanthropist, taking him across the globe from Haiti to Myanmar, Kashmir to Paris, Kosovo to San Diego. But the story starts off in Nigeria. Teddy loves money, women and power, but following a severe flood in a Nigerian town, he is haunted by the memory of a young boy he rescued. Teddy is spontaneous and impulsive and quickly decides to channel his passion, power and money into helping those in need. The danger and risk to his life is the only way Teddy can feel genuinely alive and he'll do anything in order to achieve his goals and keep the adrenaline pumping; putting his business head and money-making skills to good use through bargaining with the self-righteous, making deals with drug barons, and trading with the nefarious. But these actions are not just about helping others -- Teddy is purging his soul to help exorcise the inner demons that have been festering ever since his young son died and he lost everything he truly loved. The pilot is written by Tom Fontana ("Homicide: Life on the Street") and is directed by Peter Horton ("Grey's Anatomy") and boasts a heady cast of established and up-and-coming talent. Purefoy takes on the lead role of Teddy Rist, Jesse L. Martin ("Law ...
