kind of war economy so sometimes it looked and the syrian regime has been accused of gordon a thing with the islamic state but in fact if that was the case at all it was just the let's say a military strategy to use other forces to eliminate the other. and i mean and i think that still is going to happen in a province like it live in the northwest there you have the the successor of. and they will be perhaps at that by the americans by a. by the turks so as long as other countries other armies are doing the work for him to syrian army it's all right with the mosque is so they use use these other forces like friends the kurdish forces in the north they have received in the past arms of the syrian regime not because they were friends of the syrian regime but because that state it suited the syrian regime to use them to attack others and i lemonade them so once these other forces have been eliminated like this lemon state then i think this era and regime will turn to others and the miis like the kurdish forces in the north but it seems like the race to take credit for victory against i says

kind of a way. by the time we get to 1960 as we discussed he's friends with robert kennedy. kennedy is assassinated, and also he's worn down by the time, you know, he's writing in the context of the polarization of american politics, watergate crisis. this is a time when he's in various, he was in a cinema, for example, watching a movie and somebody would just turn around and say when the revolution comes you will be taken, but against a wall and shot. just when he's out literally doing his business that, for example, he would walk his son to the bus stop, would be walking the dog and people what you start shouting at him in the streets. i think when he writes that book he's writing a kind of sense of america that is lost. but also technical problems with the book that when he writes about rfk during the white house years, it becomes his hero of the book because so much of it is talking about jfk that robert kennedy almost becomes secondary in his own biography. so there were things that he was neve

but ultimately, there will be a kind of good news, which most of the media will regard as a surprise, even though it was inevitable and somehow or other it will come right in terms of presentation. what that will actually mean, your guess is as good as mine because of all the recrimination and chaos, which will miraculously dissolve in everybody congratulating everybody else, will actually strengthen the position of theresa may, so she personally will be stronger this year than last year. and that is so interesting, domestically. ijust can't believe there won't be recrimination. but there will be. this group hug will be really small. in the last period, they were all calling each other names, all costing each other out of the garden, and then suddenly, theresa may was praised. absolutely, it was all wonderful and happy. mutual regard, that will happen at least half a dozen times in the next year. i think that the true believers are never going to be satisfied with what she gets. that is true. but they are a smaller and smaller number. she deserves the praise, to be honest. many people

kind of a sense of a generation grappling with these kinds of problems and a generation as a cohort moving forward too. >> before he writes because he'll have this crisis of confidence about this when he writes imperial presidency, but one world is president's life before the 70's in achieving sort of these ages -- >> you could make an argument and in fact, i do invoke that actually almost its entire frame of reference is governed by one individual and one president and, of course, that's fdr, the age of jackson in many ways is a book about roosevelt as much as it is one about the 19th century and the age of roosevelt itself is trying to take those lessons and to apply them in the specific contacts to stevenson and to kennedy but, yeah, he believes that the -- to use a churchillia, in the president is the person who sets the weather, the person who can -- who sets the tone for policy but also one of the lesson that is he learns from roosevelt is that it's not enough simply to be the weather-maker, that roosevelt takes his experience from first world war when he was assistant secretary for

i feel this is kind of a calling for me. -my initial impression of eric was that he was really all about himself and his own style. but the more i talk to him, i learn that his real motivation is to be part of the rebuilding of detroit. that's the motivation that i need to want to push things forward. ♪ how are you? -steve, this is marcus. -i'm marcus. -he's our partner, steve. -very nice to meet you. -how are you? -nice to meet you too. so what is your role here? -i would say my role is on the accounting side of things. i'm a partner at a cpa firm. so this is kind of my part-time gig. -how did you guys all meet? -steve came and bought a pair of jeans. -we just started talking and five seconds into this i'm like, "this is a dynamite idea here." so i invested in the company. and i donate my accounting work about every couple of weeks. -what is the equity between the three of you? -i'm 65. brenna is 25. steve is 10. -how much money has been invested in the business overall? -i've put in 250. -steve bought in with 50 and then

in fact, making a one-of-a-kind, a one-of-a-kind ring for his one-of-a-kind lady, patty. you can see he's shaping this platinum, polishing it down, getting it nice and even mounting this beautiful diamond, which was actually part of his mom's engagement ring. >> oh, that's sweet. okay. all right. it's pretty, and it's thoughtful. >> and it's platinum. >> next up he's putting together a sign. you figured out what that sign is going to sigh considering he put together that engagement ring. this might be the easy part. they have a company where they put together hand made signs, very nicely designed. >> where are we taking them? >> on quite the journey, to lula gorge. he heads down, past where you're really supposed to go with his buddy, on a 3.8 mile 8,927-step 111-story journey. the very first day they came to inspiration point which looks over this area. he found that particular truck, because it's easy to find, which means he can mount his signs, which he then does, dig, dig, dig, mounts them onto this tree. the next day -- >> did it snow overnight? >> magic as well, tha

kind of banquet held every february in a prime in town hall it's an important social event in the region. primus history is closely tied to the hands and shipping with its medieval fame stalls the christmas market on the banks of the visa river relives those golden age. based on holders dressed like cans. and i warn about the traditional kale dishes. well the first thing i'd recommend would be all spice which is a very typical ingredient for the braman kale and. after a stroll around the historical old town on the market stalls the stock to warm up is just the thing. but a. stand off as genuine a monroe county cal. got. in with a group called you can take the cable box and walk around the christmas market but that warms your hands and you can eat it on the go without spoiling anything might come out of it that's one click of. kale gathers with fresh smoked pork chops boiled sausage potatoes. but how does it taste from a counter go box. it's not really delicious don't you think so i want to begin with the my brain is always worth a try out on the christmas market it's just fantastic here

i sent a career trying to encourage this kind of initiative that you describe. there are two points i'd like you to elaborate even if the states and federal government provided more money, all the other things happen that brought us back to some golden age. there are two ingredients that need to change. i like your comment on our system of governance of colleges and universities and how that system influences the environment that allows faculties to be tutor instead of professors and the reward system that is encouraged by faculty that limits the possibilities of these initiatives. >> very good question so the reward system is also part of the elliott agenda which is a reward system based on peer-reviewed publication. have nothing against that. in fact we know faculty members spent 60% of their time of preparation. the accounts, i've never been on a tenured case where somebody said their terrible teacher but will give them a tender anyway. it's assumed and mystical. we don't train people to be a good teacher on the evaluation system for teachers are student eval

kind o with a kind of d the state owned enterprises. there is a kind of mismatch between that market forces and the top-down authoritarian system and so the question is how long is it going to be before you have a clash of both. 186,000 because the peasants would find a party leader and a developer would seize their la land. how long is it before the independent courts become an independent judiciary? i will tell you one other story. i gave a lecture at a university they call it a cross between harvard and stanford. i wanted to give a talk about u.s. china relations and i decided i would ask the same talk find your passion, do something hard, etc.. the question blew me away. i am an engineer. why do i need to take literatu literature? i thought these are chinese kids questioning in this way. how long is it before questioning the choice of your major becomes questioning your government and so i think that there are a lot of may ultimately lead to liberalization is not taxation. >> i can't help but ask you about another place i don't expe

it has a strong secular component of secular learning but also maintains a mormon identity and a kind of religious mission as well. and so, in a way, even the modern brigham young university reflects this early instinct of brigham young who chartered it back in 1875. provo's identity is inextricably linked with these educational institutions. there is no question about that. the fact that 30,000-plus students coming through the institution now -- i mean, it's unquestionably shaped the way provo has developed over time. part of this is in terms of demographics as well. the county we are in right now, utah county, over 80% latter day saint. the county just to the north, utah county -- or salt lake county, rather, nowhere near that. salt lake city, pretty even between latter day saints and non-latter day saints. utah as a state, somewhere in the mid 60s percentile in terms of mormon population. so this is an unusually dense mart mormon demographic center. both inside and outside the kind of provo area, this is referred to as happy valley. and it's lovingly so by mormons who know this is

this is really a one of a kind item. remark item. the thank you note that jfk and jacky sent the woman who planned their wedding. which was one of the biggest weddings of the year in rhode island. they a truly social event of the year. kennedy takes one side of the letter saying joking i hope you won't write a book and tell all. she writes a beautiful note saying i feel so guilty i think i did less work on my own wedding than any bride in history. just really a remarkable look at this couple after their marriage. they were in los angeles for the honeymoon and took time to write the note. oregon was one of the fist states to have a presidential primary. creating one in the 1920s. in the 1960s oregon was still the few states to have a pr i mare. most state delegations were controlled by the bosses by the big city mayors. oregon had a primary. kennedy knew oregon would be a critical election. if he were to get the nomination. this section here highlights his visit to oregon. as he prepared to run for president and ran for president. a c

in a kind of kid's behind a kid a kid i know how to. make some of them aspiring to have such a good thing to be told and then the stuff that could be the point at a company put it toxic. just read the book shelf she said but i did not get to put cool so in a nutshell additional point of the slip should be such a good book because someone side of the fun is getting some of the fun stuff that. the morning before money. before and worries i'm going to zoom the money is always going to go up and show you. these other money slated for you to sit up and so you don't want somebody who was like you be. subtle. could it is the promise of posh latin and nida if the to get on marks to flash on moments one's on raft can't survive in again and asked do. you think thought you have contests have one of them in town a good song has two guests on the guest on company a two disc and swish disc need not annoy it's fresh on the way here finish the verses ok i will try to remember the lyrics with the comedy best out on a. given sunday and get about once a.

this was then a kind of reversal of this. this became a long going conversation through the late 1950's, through the 1960's and the 1970's. and of course, we keep getting the new studies. i just wanted to put the context in here for you to understand hamilton's book on the black preacher. what was that role? was it the role of pacification? was it the role of charlatan? and so forth. the context for black preachers is this -- black preachers are as much american as apple pie. and what i mean by that is that black preachers come out of the same stuff that white american preachers come out of. the same stuff that you might have heard of for billy graham, or billy sunday, or from george whitfield in the 1850's. richard allen. all of those are coming out of the same source material. they are using the bible. they are evangelical in the protestant sense. and, of course, they are showmen. all religious leaders have to be showmen. and i do not mean that to be insultingly. i mean that if you say the mass, you have to be a performer.

it has a strong secular component of secular learning but also maintains a mormon identity and a kind of religious mission as well. and so, in a way, even the modern brigham young university reflects this early instinct of brigham young who chartered it back in 1875. provo's identity is inextricably linked with these educational institutions. there is no question about that. the fact that 30,000-plus students coming through the institution now -- i mean, it's unquestionably shaped the way provo has developed over time. part of this is in terms of demographics as well. the county we are in right now, utah county, over 80% latter day saint. the county just to the north, utah county -- or salt lake county, rather, nowhere near that. salt lake city, pretty even between latter day saints and non-latter day saints. utah as a state, somewhere in the mid 60s percentile in terms of mormon population. so this is an unusually dense mart mormon demographic center. both inside and outside the kind of provo area, this is referred to as happy valley. and it's lovingly so by mormons who know this is

i think that's true it's a kind of the most amazing acoustic funk. country is going to get is on top of the text of listen dot. well it's of kind friend of a very clued legal part of a code of interview that's not written most of it is still functioning i don't know . enough of a lot of this is simply bob dylan as or da is all i'm out there i'm on one of my on the the amazons acts like specters album. isn't. this a it's had dad five thousand acts and in the bed price because the fans do this is fun does ok by alston on his first day of deal lloyd. deserved of. violet's nameless deal as it would be a little it wouldn't even start. in the village the proceeds go to a loss of dylan give us of a. heap of it wasn't dissing the dark. little or call it in or for the incorrupt hundred little going to come to the show ever. well and that's the how to i was done as a muslim i would do that in films of the cool. comments on off and on the stump up via and at us as he is called the downside to awful but i don't know if i buy all that said that the oncologist and

, do you find it a kind of therapy as well? oh, it's an escape, isn't it? we lose ourselves in a different world when we're writing, just as when we're reading. so, certainly it's an escape. but you need to be there living as well, otherwise you run out of things to write about, so it's a good balance. but when you're in full flow in a story, and it's working, the rest of the world doesn't exist? no, there's nothing like it. it's an amazing feeling. ann cleeves, author of the seagulll, thank you very much. thank you. good evening, the cloud is thickening, bringing more persistent rain across the west of scotland and the process will continue through the process will continue through the night, and under the cloudy skies it will be for most of us a very mild die, although it might turn a bit cold in the far north of scotla nd turn a bit cold in the far north of scotland later —— mild night. we have some low—level fog potentially in several areas as we sorted today, but otherwise, christmas day begins with a grey cloudy nig

gnomon itself, if i can call it and it, it is a kind of intelligence that operates backwards as well as forwards. is that a reasonable way of putting it? i think it is. yes, i mean gnomon is the overtly science—fictional strand that runs through the book. because, give no, and i'm completely comfortable with saying that. it is interesting, i had been querying whether the book as a whole this science fictional, because i think we use that term, particularly in news broadcasts in the uk, we use that to say, oh, by the way, you can stop listening now, because this isn't real. and i worry about that, because very often you hear it in connection with deep data—processing and with biological advances like crispr cas, where you can manipulate the gene. and the sort of tenor is, oh, by the way, this isn't part of the important cultural discourse. and it really is. we have to start paying attention. we live technologically and scientifically in an extraordinary time and i have very little patience with literary writing that refuses to engage with that, because i think technology has becom

so this was then a kind of reversal of this. this became a long going conversation through the late 1950s, through the early -- through the '60s, through the '70s and, of course, we keep getting new studies, but i just wanted to put the context in here for you to understand hamilton's book on the black preacher. so what was that role? was it the role of pacification? was it the role of charlatan? and so forth. so the context for black preachers is this. black preachers are as much american as apple pie. and what i mean by that is black preachers come out of the same stuff that white american preachers come out. so the same stuff that you might have heard of billy graham or billy sunday or from george whitfield in the 18th century down, richard allen, all of those are coming out of the same source material. they're using the bible. they're evangelical in the protestant sense. and, of course, the -- they are showmen. all religious leaders have to be showmen. i don't mean that insultingly, i mean that if you say the mass you have t

there was a kind of logic. that is interesting, it takes us on to broadening our discussion. even as we go to air in the last few days, there have been striking scenes in iran, with thousands of people taking part in anti—government protests. where could this lead? and there are numerous other pressure points in the world in 2018 — north korea and its testing of ballistic missiles, and what of so—called islamic state, after it was driven out of its raqqa heartland. bari, are the protests in iran primarily about the economy, where could they lead ? actually it is more than the economy. the economic situation is very difficult in iran, definitely the prices are going up dramatically, iran under punishment by the united states, by europe, but i believe also people would like to have more important moves to improve that standard of living in iran itself. you have opposition. the protest happened again five years ago, so protest happened again five years ago, so we protest happened again five years ago, so we don't know yet whether this will be a huge uprising, a huge protes

it's all a kind of a desperate effort to keep a con game going. trump does have a base, a voter base. he's kicking them in the face with abandon. and the idea is, how do you hold onto them while you're doing this? not an easy trick. and this, i think, is part of the con. and there are people in the press who are pointing it out -- paul krugman, for one -- but nothing like it should be. amy: which takes us to your latest book, "requiefor the american dream," where you talk about the 10 principles of the concentration of power and wealth, how it's happening, what to watch out for. >> well, credit for the 10 principles should go to the producers of the film. what they did was take a lot of interviews and discussions about all sorts of things and put them in a coherent and, i think, pretty effective form, including formulating 10 principles -- that's their contribution -- and including material that discusses them. and you can look at the film and see, or the book, but my feeling is they did a really good job. i'm impressed by it. amy: so the book is

happened in months ago there was a big important and kind of telling at the same time we could kind of make us understand what is happening right now and the level of tension and the level of abundant didn't see that it had a regime basic in months ago there was a kind of there was an earthquake in in chairman sharp and in the matter of if you will our as we saw this kind of incredible national mobilization people are kind of more polite and want you guys in in order to respond to that problem because they thought if the little trust exists between government and this it will society i think give up the give up on can at the state institutions in order to address it just a problem and the actual celebrities like football is as the people who could be kind of the bridge between what the country butte what they donate and those people that mean if i see your point in in cancer i said there do there is a way i ask the question about the. people being very critical of the foreign intervention is that it's an intervention of the comes at a huge price because you need to spend money to ma

of prevention or precautions do they take or is a kind of way we know what they're doing will just look the other way well i think it was they were very aware where these weapons were going they the. pentagon was very much involved in these type of programs. after all they were they were being supplied to elements that we were training and given advice to so that and it was directed that it clearly shown that rather than us weapons which they didn't know how to operate get these other weapons from eastern europe because there was so much so many available and the ammunition was so plentiful and that way you also had deniability laws of all denial were they get them from eastern europe but not mention the fact that it was all orchestrated by the united states policies how how dangerous is that the idea of sort of using these well these weapons are here these weapons are here when we're looking for us and so we're trying to see who is supplying what how dangerous it is that we just have seem to have an innumerable number amount of of arms just wandering around in the middle east and easte

so, i so that is kind of a good sign. i've been, i was listening to george saunders before and he was talking about how he has been traveling with his book for a very long time. i felt his pain. [laughter] and, you know, by the time you get around this point toward the end of the book tour, you begin to wonder what it is that you really want to say. i thought that what i wanted to say to you, my work, i think has been working its way towards america for a very long time. back in the late '90s, i wrote a novel called, the ground beneath her feet, partly set in india, partly set if england and partly set in here. that was different america t was really about the new york city when i first learned about came as a kid, i was like 24, 25 years old, i came to new york in the early 70s. you know, that other new york which was dirty and broke and dangerous in parts and cheap. as a result of being cheap, it was full of young, creative people. so i found myself on my first trip to the city, in this downtown area of surrounded by yo

gnomon itself, if i can call it an it, it is a kind of intelligence that operates backwards as well as forwards. is that a reasonable way of putting it? i think it is. yes, i mean gnomon is the overtly science—fictional strand that runs through the book. because, you know, and i'm com pletely co mforta ble with saying that. it is interesting, i had been querying whether the book as a whole is science—fictional, because i think we use that term, particularly in news broadcasts in the uk, we use that to say, "oh, by the way, you can stop listening now, because this isn't real." and i worry about that, because very often you hear it in connection with deep data—processing and with biological advances like crispr cas, where you can manipulate the gene. and the sort of tenor is, "oh, by the way, this isn't part of the important cultural discourse." and it really is. we have to start paying attention. we live technologically and scientifically in an extraordinary time, and i have very little patience with literary writing that refuses to engage with that, because i think technology has

so, this was then a kind of reversal of this. this became a long-going conversation through the late 1950s through the early -- through the '60s, through the '70s, and of course we kept getting renewed studies, but i just wanted to put the context in here for you to understand hamilton's book on the black preacher in america. so, what was that role? was it the role of pacification? was it the role of charlatan? and so forth. now, the context for black preachers is this. black preachers are as a much american as apple pie. and what i mean by that is that black preachers come out of the same stuff that white american preachers come out. so, the same stuff that you might have heard of billy graham or billy sunday, or from george whitfield in the 18th century down, richard allen, all of those are coming out of the same source material, using the bible. they are evangelical in the protestant sense, and that -- and of course, they are showmen. all religious leaders have to be showmen. and i don't mean that insultingly. i mean that as,

corrupt globalist elite, a culture under assault. >> it's a kind of a nativist voice that comes out of breitbart, and it's not something that's never happened in america before, because we've had waves of nativism. but it's, it's bringing nativism to a digital platform where it's reaching the whole country. >> "hispanic and black thugs tend to attack asians..." "blacks are incapable for being responsible for themselves..." >> narrator: breitbart's comment sections became notorious gathering places for extreme viewpoints. >> "the towelheads are taking over because we let them." "gayness is a cancer on us all." >> i mean, it reads like you've walked into a hate club gathering of some kind. >> "how stupid are women? let's find out." >> they were appealing to the segment of the population that are racist, homophobic, anti-semitic-- really, the worst among us. creating this congregating space everyday, where people from that worldview can go and rally around one another to find content that validates their worldview. and i think that's what they were building, ultimately. >> narrator: the a

and beheading has become a kind of a phenomenon that we've become we've become very familiar with in in the newspapers of late. these yugoslavian roman catholic priests who were principally responsible for getting. nazi war criminals out. and there was nobody worse than these people i think they probably killed. between eighty and one hundred thousand people on this little island roman catholic priests anyway that was the other thing why i want to write about the yugoslavs and the croats because it's common as soon it was the germans who. killed people and we forget the roles played by some of the other races in europe like like the crow and. there have been in auschwitz because i mean there's no scene in there's not really a scene in the book which is said. if there had been i would have got not yet well no i don't think there will be actually because i feel i would feel probably uncomfortable writing about it because i feel that. it was something that was so awful i think you know to try and describe it i don't think unless you've been there you kind of earned the right probably to

and, this is a trend well apart from china but a kind of stayed stateism back to the 1945 kind of world where people think that men can just live and a club together and kind of conspired but the people in the countries around the world are not going to tolerate that club for anything out of time and it is just going to end up being hugely destabilizing. foxman: in your last public speech, you warned against historic amnesia talking about russia. does it still apply? what do you mean by "historic amnesia"? concept generally is just a matter of pragmatism. i mean, states and the people who occupy other states around -- if i was a jerk to last week and then started talking as if last week and not happened, the onstar you are going to be or the odds are lower. think, and this will be a real challenge for the next generation after this one, but there is a temptation to kind of, you know, show up and be like all right. ok. the troubled era is over. we are. it just does not work that way. withstandings, not the work of the ngo's and the four regarding what to make sure i talk about women in t

a lot of people here had a lot to say about him. all kind words. and as you can see, someone left this bouquet of flowers here on the steps of city hall. there was a common thread to all of the people with whom i spoke. the common thread being that, you know, they use common words like he was a kind man, dedicated was another word. humanitarianism. other people said that he was the consummate public servant. a man who everybody said did not forget his roots. for civil rights, he was an activist, public housing was a big issue for him as well as strengthening the minimum wage. and people said he had a vision of inclusiveness. now, a lot of people, of course, hugging, crying here at city hall. we caught a lot of people as they left a meeting that was held early this morning by now-interim mayor, acting mayor london breed. she briefed the mayor's staff this morning at 8:00 and then at 10:00 she met with department heads in room 200ed adjacent to the mayor's office. and here's some of what the people we interviewed said. excuse me. here's what london b

on a page of news that has, you know, that comes from a strange source, for example, could some kind of, you know, warning pop up. i mean, lots of people are going to be playing with that. but i think jimmy wales is onto something when he notes that the real problem is the -- you know, people want to have sources that they trust. they want to have information that they trust. and finding ways to -- you know, to both deliver news that is trustworthy and that has some kind of basis in reality is going to be, you know, is going to be the real goal over the next few years. i mean, i think there are probably going to be multiple answers. maybe that wikitribune is one answer. it may be that mainstream newspapers find different ways to deliver news, different ways to write news in ways that people find more trustworthy. i do think there's going to be a multiple set of solutions and waiting for sort of one kind of regulation to fix the problem or one technical widget to, you know, attach to your computer that will fix the problem, is wrong. i mean, among other things, definition of what we m

so there is a kind of familiarity there. the second connection is that atly was a conservative, an imperialist in his school days. and the one thing he got in trouble for at school is overzealously relating -- that's when he first became aware of churchill. there was nine years between them. secondly, when churchill was elected, 1900, atly remembered reading about this young rising star of our party, as i say, atly was a conservative, you know, growing up. by 1911, interestingly, and this is perhaps my favorite connection between the two. at sydney street in 1911, churchill was home secretary and sends in the army to deal with an incident with a series of latvian anarchists, incredibly, in sydney street. atly is there, watching it going on as a social worker and socialist in the local community. his own career is transformed, but this odd scene of churchill with his top hat and cane ordering the army in and atly on the other side with the working classes of the area as a social worker, dedicated socialist by that stage, real

the haley speech today was reflecting a kind of the want to to absorb a little bit of the rage in the arab world trying to say that this decision of. tramp is not effecting the border they are trying you know to play on the words not nothing more than that they are trying to assure the palestinians that even jerusalem might be also negotiated so i think that this is a very bad pathetic kind of way it's the. speech of term was so clear and it's the meaning of it is so clear and the israeli are celebrating now the administration also they are trying to send the vice president mike pence and also trying to contact the palestinians in order and. invited more than bass the brazilian president to visit washington but that all. we try to you know absorb the shock and try to absorb the reaction not only in palestine also in the arab world and as well as other arab islamic countries and tomorrow we are waiting also for europe because we understood that there will be many demonstrations in so many capitals around also europe the decision was a huge mistake and i think mr trump should take it ba

moundville is kind of a portal to the past. when people started settling here in the 1700s, not much remained of the mississippian culture. the people who lived here were great artists, warriors, rulers. and great tradesmen, too. and the amount of effort it took to build the mounds on this site show how powerful the rulers of this prehistoric community were. ♪ ♪ >> i would like to welcome you to the tabernacle here on temple square in salt lake city. this is the home of the mormon tabernacle choir, some might call it america's choir. the mormons tabernacle choir was organized in 1847 when the first pioneers came into this valley. it was a small group of people who met in a bowery type building. very rustic. and they asked for a choir to perform. but it was in 1849 that welsh pioneers came to the valley and they sang in four-part harmony. they sang in welsh. that's when president brigham young really decided you need to be the nucleus of a great choir. it really started in 1847-1849. they used to sing in a building over on t

francine: talk to me in any kind of real terms, what's a robot advisor? and who is going to -- am i going to have a robot as a boss at any point if i work for blackrock? philipp: no. i think the answer is you will have lots of interface, or if you are -- maybe not as a client. we don't go directly to clients at the moment, but through our distributors, they will have tools technology tools that will , make it easier for them to deal with their clients, work with their clients, and bring value to their clients, and we want to be that platform for our distributors. you will also see that in your products, a combination of technology-driven investments and sort of human-driven investments will increasingly be visible. so i think this whole distinction of sort of saying we have technology and then we have people, i suspect that's not going to be the world we live in 10, 15 years from now. the reality is there will still be important roles to play by people, analysis, judgment, learning about the markets, experience, history, all of these things will continue

happened in months ago there was a big important and kind of telling at the same time we could kind of make us understand what is happening right now and the level of tension and the level of abundant didn't see that it had a regime basic level in months ago there was a kind of there was an earthquake in in chairman sharp and in the matter of if you will our as we saw this kind of incredible national mobilization people are kind of more polite and want you know i think in order to respond to that problem because they thought if the little trust exists between government and this it will society i think give up the give up on current state institutions in order to address just a problem and the actual celebrities like football is as the people who could be kind of the bridge between what the country butte what they donate and those people that been effect i see your point in in cancer i said there do there is a way i ask the question about the. people being very critical of the foreign intervention is that it's an intervention of the comes at a huge price because you need to spend mo

on his country except in a kind of way like for instance russia having a military base or so but not to say to dominate the regime is not what he wants at all he would he he they help them but once he will be back in power over the whole of syria that he doesn't want them anymore but the rain ians have their interests or it's israel of course so they want to have a kind of military base in syria to attack or defend against israel but the israelis don't want this at all so in a way the iranians will have to withdraw when there are not any more need it and this is i think the countries that support the regime they cannot simply dictate to president bashar al assad what they want him to do because it's a beautiful thing they want to keep their so-called client their ally but their lands one back from the ruins of isis it is and baghdad's hands but as restless then it all comes on the back of the recent independence referendum campos ass's war break out in iraq over the kurdish question. well there is inside iraq i think in my opinion the kurdish democratic party or do that say dylan the

gnomon itself, if i can call it an it, it is a kind of intelligence that operates backwards as well as forwards. is that a reasonable way of putting it? i think it is. yes, i mean gnomon is the overtly science—fictional strand that runs through the book. because, you know, and i'm com pletely co mforta ble with saying that. it is interesting, i had been querying whether the book as a whole is science fictional, because i think we use that term, particularly in news broadcasts in the uk, we use that to say, oh, by the way, you can stop listening now, because this isn't real. and i worry about that, because very often you hear it in connection with deep data—processing and with biological advances like crispr cas, where you can manipulate the gene. and the sort of tenor is, oh, by the way, this isn't part of the important cultural discourse. and it really is. we have to start paying attention. we do live technologically and scientifically in an extraordinary time, and i have very little patience with literary writing which refuses to engage with that, because i think technology has b

kind of behavioral quirk, but as a pattern of behavior that does damage to women as a class within the public and professional sphere. that was a hugely important conversation. it did not obviously fix the behavior or alter the power structure in any kind of permanent way. but it -- but it was a part of a conversation that we're picking up in a very big and loud way right now. and i think that's part of how these revisions work. they don't happen all at once. >> okay. >> you don't get rid of just a couple of bad apples and fix it. >> right. >> but we're in this long process. and that is part of it. >> mary? >> i think rebecca is absolutely spot on there. we look here, we get very optimistic and we think things are now, it's really going to change. and of course it's going to take a long time. but what you need, is that you kind of need a catalyst to change what's going on in people's heads. this is not actually just about people putting their hands where they shouldn't or worse where they shouldn't. it's about how they think about other people, what their views of women are deep inside

it's also kind of a history of kind of ethnic almost imperialism in a lot of ways, i mean, that's a true line in american history. >> in some ways one of the smartest things that klan did was to use a good tree with religious bigotry. to some degree, i would argue that the enormous size of the klan was made possible because it was in a sense of evangelical revival. now i'm talking about white evangelicals, of course. also, there's a slight difference between the evangelicals and fundamentalists. the fundamentalist or bit more standoffish. a fundamentalist is someone who believes in the literal word of christ and so on. they had some reservations in the clan-- klan ever made what-- much headway in the protestant churches called the mainline or the real churches like the episcopalians, lutherans and so on. all klan meetings began with a prayer. they were a lot of ministers who published work about the klan or about klan thoughts as a part of this revival, but also, i think, i can get into this later, but i think that evangelicals also tended to have services of which people move and shouts

, do you find it a kind of therapy as well? oh, it's an escape, isn't it? we lose ourselves in a different world when we're writing, just as when we're reading. so, certainly it's an escape. but you need to be there living as well, otherwise you run out of things to write about, so it's a good balance. but when you're in full flow in a story, and it's working, the rest of the world doesn't exist? no, there's nothing like it. it's an amazing feeling. ann cleeves, author of the seagulll, thank you very much. thank you. if you like your weather cloudy and mild, i have a real treat in store for you in this forecast. mild weather is here to stay for the next few days. it didn't really matter today, where you lived whether it was herefordshire, you yorkshire, the skies looked the same. cloudy. we have more for the next few days as well. high pressure to the south of the uk, these weather fronts bringing of cloud at times and in turn that will bring outbreaks of rain. the wettest weather at the moment is across north—west england wh

sort of leaves behind a kind of artifact. the french leave behind this encyclopedia. the scots leave behind a work that's still with us today, the encyclopedia britannica, which comes out beginning in the mid-1760s. diderot here was famous for big one of the rallying cries of the revolution. not the more famous one of liberty, equality, fraternity. he said, this is what ought to be our motto, let us strangle the last king with the guts of the last priest. this is what diderot says we ought to be embodying. you see how he thinks that sort of religion and monarchy. aristocracy, privilege, go together. and they have equally to be -- the field needs to equally be cleared of both of those. what do we do here in this country? revolutionary americans, rather than seeing it as i say as an enemy of enlightenment, as the french do, they harness the power of religion. and indeed were overwhelmingly religious themselves and drew their arguments for resistance from protestant christian religious sources as professor driesbach laid out for

did you think about doing kind things a lot. no, i don't need to do that. stupid. why did we do that? just do it. no. have a little fun together, or a lot. k-y yours and mine. two sensations that work together, so you can play together. i was wondering if an electric toothbrusthan a manual.s better and my hygienist says it does but they're not all the same. who knew? i had no idea. so she said, look for one that's shaped like a dental tool with a round brush head. go pro with oral-b. oral-b's rounded brush head surrounds each tooth to gently remove more plaque. and unlike sonicare, oral-b is the only electric toothbrush brand accepted by the american dental association for its effectiveness and safety. my mouth feels so clean. i'll only use an oral-b. oral-b. brush like a pro. that cough doesn't sound so good. well i think you sound great. move over. easy booger man. take mucinex dm. it'll take care of your cough. fine! i'll text you in 4 hours when your cough returns. one pill lasts 12 hours, so... looks like i'm good all night

transitional period at all because for the regime transition is a kind of dirty word almost that they want don't want any transition the most they want and they reform us so but as long as they stay in power for the regime it's ok but gradually also from the gulf states also from qatar and saudi arabia and others and for turkey those old those countries was first want to him to leave not only to leave but. they have now come to other opinions because they got particularly turkey also they got a lot of damage or does a fund that is from their support of the opposition because this gave the kurdish forces a chance to occupy a big part of balls on syria. promise of endemol then take a short break right now when we're back we'll continue talking to a close friend and former special envoy to syria axum bassa there are two incidents and iraq now let's talk about how the syrian civil war is going to play out in the near future some change. few. more more more when all childs seem wrong when all the world's just all. the world is yet to shape our is the answer you can stick up to it and indee
