The Rev. Al Sharpton, after sitting down with reeling Sony Entertainment co-chair Amy Pascal, said the racial makeup of 21st century Hollywood lags decades behind the times.

An apologetic Pascal met for 90 minutes with Sharpton and National Urban League President Marc Morial to discuss her recently unearthed racially insensitive emails exposed and leaked by hackers.

Sharpton said the two sides hoped to work together on a plan to bring more minority representation to the movie business.

Pascal arrived in Manhattan one day after scratching the Dec. 25 release of "The Interview, the controversial Seth Rogen and James Franco comedy.

Sharpton said Hollywood had a history as an exclusionary, almost all-white hierarchy ... an environment that still resembles 1950s America.

EDITORIAL: Terrorists 1, Hollywood 0

REVIEW: Lighten up, 'The Interview' is funny

He cited the hacked emails in which Pascal and producer Scott Rudin made inappropriate cracks about President Obama's movie tastes suggesting the chief executive preferred movies about slavery or starring black actors.

Pascal, who did not appear after the meeting at a Manhattan hotel, released a formal apology last week for her remarks.

The jury is still out on where we go with Amy, Sharpton said. We clearly are willing to deal with an immediate formula to see where we deal with breaking down the walls of inflexible, and so far immovable, racial exclusion in Hollywood.

Rev. Al Sharpton, president of the National Action Network, is slated to visit North Charleston Sunday afternoon to celebrate Charity Missionary Baptist Church's 100th anniversary.

The service is scheduled to begin 5 p.m. at the church, 1544 East Montague Ave., according to spokeswoman Trudy Grant. Sharpton will serve as the service's guest speaker, she said.

The church's pastor, Rev. Nelson B. Rivers III, joined the National Action Network's senior staff in June as vice president of religious affairs and external relations. The civil-rights organization aims to reverse gun violence.

Sunday's service is free and open to the public.

As the police piece together the evidence about the worst terror attack to have hit the country, Inspector General (IG) of Police Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Nasir Durrani, vowed Thursday that all inadequacies in the system would be removed.

Addressing the media, Durrani said that the crime scene had innumerable items lying about and specialised army teams were present at the scene to collect evidence which will be analysed scientifically.

He said that the team constituted to investigate the Peshawar school attack was currently working on the available evidence, adding that it had a forensic lab and crime scene investigation officers who were helping to obtain evidence from the scene and analyse it.

He claimed that leads coming from initial investigations into the Peshawar school massacre extend beyond the country's border.

In Tuesday's Taliban attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar that left nearly 150 people, mostly students, dead, militants had been in direct communication with their handler in Afghanistan, Umar Naray, alias Umar Khalifa Adinzai -- a well known commander of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan's (TTP) Tariq Geedar group.

"He was directing the suicide bombers and the attack group," Dawn online quoted a security official as saying.

"At present, the issue that everyone needs to understand is that we are in a state of war; we are fighting militancy, and all stakeholders and organisations must come together to fight," Durrani said at Thursday's media conference.

"Not only organisations but masses must unite to fight as well, as this is everybody's war," the inspector general said.

Durrani said awareness must be created through the media as the enemy had plunged to the lowest depths. He added that police would also hunt down the companions of militants behind the massacre.

"This is a question of our lives and honour, and we all must unite to protect it. The time for blaming others has passed. In the absence of passion and vigilance, we cannot fight against terrorism," he added.
