imagine that the universe was always there, not our universe. we had a beginning but maybe the multi- verse was always there. that is possible or maybe the multi- verse had a beginning. maybe the multi- verse is one expression of what a meta- universe creates. if there's a meta- verse then has bubbles of multi- versus that back creates universes then is there anything to prevent that in principle? no. that philosophical trajectory is not fundamentally different from thinking earth is it. no, no, one of the planets, get over it. it's a demotion and then we say what about the sun? force. the sun is just one of a hundred billion other sons in the milky way. the milky way, of course, it's one of the 100 billion other galaxies. we have good precedents for recognizing that the universe is bad at making things in the ones. that may be true even for the universe itself. there could simply be multiple universes and i think that may have been to our three of his questions. >> host: there was -- he asked and you talk about this in several of your books and

that's not a healthy university environment. i think it's the responsibility of the university to protect students against that. you know, but at the same time, you know, being an open space for all ideas. so i think the university can create the opportunity for safe spaces, students can find those spaces. you should know when you walk into one, you shouldn't fine yourself suddenly sitting at a table and discovering that, you know, because you think a certain way, you know, that's out of bounds. i think that does undercut, you know, the role of the university -- [audio difficulty] difficult, that are challenging. you know, i think jelani's right, that we have to be attentive to some very real dangers, you know, that we haven't seen in our lifetime around marginalization of particular communities, rising authoritarian tendencies. and i think turning a blind eye to that is a big mistake. but at the same time, empowering the university, 'em purring particularly -- empowering particularly this government, empowering social media pla

since i got on universal credit, this is what happened. this is where we are now, the situation we are in. it's hard to get out of the situation because of universal credit. landlords won't accept us. so, for now, this is home. the government has indicated that parts of the public sector may get a pay rise above the 1% cap. and a lead of published today, the chief secretary to the treasury said wolpe discipline was still needed, public sector workers needed jobs that were fairly rewarded. the minister previously said that pay recommendations need to stay within 196 recommendations need to stay within 1% on average in line with other public sector paid. ryanair has agreed to implement measures ordered by the flight regulator. the company has updated its website and e—mail customers affected by its decision to ground hundreds of flights in the coming weeks. the civil aviation authority had threatened to take legal action against ryanair. ukip have announced their new leader, henry bolton. the former army officer was elected their new leade

so this is the symbolic entrance to the university. the main symbol that the university has. is the arch. is this rod iron arch that faces directly into the intersection in which the monument sits. so that's a really important point. who actually knew that that monument was a monument to the confederacy. before this class? >> two of you. three of you? before this semester. there are two things going on here. one is that it's in the highly visible place. but your point is that it's not doing the kind of culture work that maybe people thought it would. in that space. it's not doing the work perhaps it's not doing the work of white supremacy. people don't even know what, nobody notices it. right. that could be the case. but at the same time it is in this prominent place that is symbolically right at the gate to the university of georgia. and maybe closes that gate for some. this is really helpful. >> i was going say it's interesting to note that although it was moved from city hall, it didn't, that move didn't depoliticize the connection of the civil war to city hall. like sanit

it's a lesson that's universal. we're looking at this all around the world, but what does it say about what's happening in america? give it a shot? anybody. >> i think what it says about america is we really have some changes to make. i think that we need to search for truth. i think the truth needs to be revealed. i think that we need to accept that there has been a lot of wrong done to a lot of different people. african-americans especially but not just african-americans. i think it started with us 400 years ago. it didn't end there. we have an islamic ban. we have, we don't want hispanics to come here. we have so much going on in america right now that we have to change this and the only way to change it is we have to have discussions that we don't want to have. if it means that you have to not deal with a family member that believes that this is right, then that's something that you're going to have to eventually face. we have some policies to change. we know that some of the policies that's been created has bee

colleges and universities themselves are incredibly diverse. they range from major research universities all the way down to small liberal arts colleges in rural areas, community colleges, minority serving institutions and that's not even including the majority of federally funded higher education, which is for profit institutions, like the small beauty academy in your local mall. so, there's enormous diversity and that diversity is reflected in terms of the staff at those institutions and their understanding of these issues, of title ix and what to do about sexual violence and sexual harassment when it occurs. there's also diversity among victims and accused students, and that -- but that's a different level of diversity that we will talk about a little bit later. a second major implement addition problem is that most faculty and staff who are the first responders, the investigators, the decisionmakers, on these campuses, almost none of them are lawyers. they do not come into this with legal training, and they're not going to be -- it's not li

and the university is inviting them physically to come to our campus. >> what do you think the university should do at this point about free speech week? >> i think it should be canceled. >> even now? >> yes, absolutely. we're already seeing an increase in hate crimes on the campus, violent incidences of people being, again, harassed online, chalking on campus. these events are growing. they're escalating, right? this isn't going to go away. it's going to get worse as this event gets closer. >> a university spokesman has told us this event will go on and the university will not be the ones to cancel it. if anyone cancels it, it has to be the organizing groups and that seems to be where things stand ou. >> that's his point of view and i think his position is this is out of the university's hands. the university of california is somehow hamstrung by a student group of less than a dozen members and big money breitbart donations behind them. i think the university is being held hostage and it needs to take a less legalistic line and a values based line. i believe in the university of californ

unfortunately, if it is by universal credit, my answer will be no. ata credit, my answer will be no. at a small soup kitchen, great yarmouth‘s homeless gather for some free food. although she has a place, kelly is here, making herfor pens stretch as far as possible. another grateful mouth is gary, who says he is homeless due to universal credit. as we head towards his tent, he says he has been turned down by 58 landlords. i meet them and say i am on universal credit and they say, we have not got any rooms. and if you tell them on the phone that you are on universal credit? they hang up, pretty much. gary's universal credit payment would cover any rent. this is where i live. the problem is the benefit has caused in great yarmouth means that for now, this is home. and michael buchanan is here. some depressing stories but there we re some depressing stories but there were high hopes for universal credit. there still are, certainly in government circles. they continue to say that this is the right reform at the right time. across the political spectrum

another university story, this is the head of oxford university attacking what they call pay lies of ministers? it is quite a long—running story. the various heads of universities being attacked for bringing home massive pay packages at a time when students are buckling under the debt they accumulate going to university. i guess it is like a fightback. the paper also quotes jo johnson, the university minister, well, not quoting him, saying he will announce plans this week to stop the upward ratcheting of salaries by linking pay to performance. it does seem like it is a bit of a spat. what is interesting is that the government took a pretty big pasting during the general election on tuition fees. it seems to be a big vote winner for jeremy corbyn. we might be seeing a pushback from the government, saying, what would the students like to see us doing? one thing we could do is look at these massively overpaid vice chancellor is taking him so much money while the students are paying tens of thousands each year. professor louise richardson, who is saying this, from oxfordshire, is earni

let me tell you about one example that occurred one autumn when a few idealistic university students came together as a group to advocate for a felt political need, wanting to recruit others to their cause they staked out some ground on a campus walkway popular with students and approached them as they passed. they said things like, do you like freedom? do you like liberty? and then they offered these passer bys a document that they revered and believed represented these ideals. the united states constitution. these young proselytizers for liberty did not block the walk way, did not disrupt surrounding activity, did not use intimidation or violence to further their cause. nevertheless a government official labeled this behavior provocative and in violation of government policy and when the young people bravely refused to stop, citing their right to free speech, the local official had them arrested, havend cuffed and jailed. this troubling ince definite could have occurred on any number of tir -- under any number of tyrannies where the bedrock american ideals of freedom, thought, and

they've teamed up with lancaster university. the plan? to offer degrees in business, media and sport. but the idea is to give students more than an academic qualification. a lot of the curriculum, a lot of the thought process behind this, that sir alex ferguson put into us when we were young, you need to work as hard as you can. you need to get yourself out of your comfort zone and push yourself. that is what we are going to be in lamenting at our university. this idea about making higher education accessible to different types of people, making it really socially progressive, was something that absolutely fits into things that the staff at lancaster really are leaving. —— really believe in. yes, it's a business venture — but it's also hoped it will help the regeneration of old trafford and stretford. the class of 92 have an impressive footballing legacy — but rather than look back at football — they want to look forward to the future. we could retire and we could talk on television, we could just watch and do nothing else and g

the problem is that universities are now so problem is that universities are now so build on this system of fees they have become businesses. they are small businesses, big businesses, vice chancellors are getting enormous amounts of money. teachers and professors are actually many businesses where they go out and try to get students to come in for their courses. the arts and humanities are suffering while other courses are getting bigger and bigger. suffering while other courses are getting biggerand bigger. it is suffering while other courses are getting bigger and bigger. it is a mess. government sources have dismissed it as pure speculation, i am told. yeah, that is denial. it is am told. yeah, that is denial. it is a nondenial denial. does not say it is not true. i think it is pretty well sourced, i would suggest. and orthodoxy of about bringing down interest rates on loans, student loa ns. interest rates on loans, student loans. many of them never get paid off anyway, do they? a6 .1% interest rate at the moment. it is extortionate, really. it shows how jeremy corbyn... extortionate

tonight, universities have called for ministers to listen more. they want a return of maintenance grants for poorer students and lower interest rates for graduates with lower earnings — a government rethink on the cost of university for those with less money. maintenance grants were taken out of the equation and we think that this is a moment when they should be reviewed because where students feel a difficulty, i think, is not with the payment of their fees, which go direct from the student loan company to universities, but with the everyday expenses. universities now rely heavily on the money they get from student fees, so publicly they defend the system, even though privately many now fear it doesn't feel fair to young people. fees are due to go up again next year to £9500, something the government has to confirm within the next few weeks. what happened in canterbury was part of a political pushback by young people. it's changed the debate around tuition fees. politically, it is becoming very difficult to sustain. we are already seeing the b
