professor ferguson believes another lockdown is unlikely and that the data suggests things are track. with the one caveat, we need to keep watching those variants carefully to get more data on them, but i'm feeling very optimistic and that optimism three months have unfolded. but the terrible situation we were in injanuary, to now, a remarkably good situation, by comparison. there was more encouraging news from schools. an ons survey for england said in december 1.2% of secondary pupils had the virus and the figure for staff was 1.6%, but in the last two weeks of march, after schools had opened up earlier in the month, infections were lower, with 0.3% of secondary school pupils with the virus, and the same percentage of staff. we found that infections were higher in schools in november and december, as they were in the general population, and lower in march — exactly the same in schools as it is in the general population. more than 50 million vaccine doses have now been delivered, and at this centre today people were looking forward to better things ahead. back to freedom, finally.

ferguson: not yet. my point is there is so much inconsistency here and you will never get to the point that you will ever be able to get every member to show some sort of voting card without violating the hipaa privacy protections. i'm listening to the rhetoric. it's a simple question, how do you compel members of this body to disclose their private health information without violating hipaa laws? not strategy, not theoretical, how are you going to do that? what provision in the hipaa protection of americans' private information regarding their health care record, what provision are you going to waive to compel members of the house to show they have been vaccinated? i yield to my colleague from california. mr. aguilar: i appreciate the gentleman from georgia yielding once again and i will to be as clear as i possibly can. we will follow the guidance of the office of attending physician, a decorated rear admiral who is hoping with the sergeant of arms to govern the capitol complex. as the c.d.c. has ment

so i filed it in the back of my head, and then in 2014, when michael brown was killed in ferguson, and protests erupted there, it made me think but soul city because there were real similarities between the situation that black people found themes in, in ferguson, and the situation that black people found themes in, in rural north carolina, and 1969, where floyd mckissick was tempting to build the city. both places black people were two-thirds of the population and yet in both places had no power, all of the levers of power, political and economic, were controlled by whites, and it seemed very obvious to me that although the protests in ferguson were triggered by the killing of michael brown, that they were what really lay behind that was years and decades of frustration and resentment about the fact that black people were a majority of the population and yet had none of the power and that what floyd mckissick was attempting to address, was this lack of power, this lack of ownership, in the community, and it just -- that parallel between what mckissick was trying to achieve 50 years ea

last night — and talking of ferguson — he said he thinks united's star quality might make the difference in the final. i already think they are a decent team. i saw them against arsenal, they played well, but having said that, i think our boys have been playing well. they've got matchwinners in the team. cavani, greenwood, they are winners. these boys win games for you, and i think going into a final, you've got that kind of support system on your team that gives you a chance. blackpool have reached the league one play—off final on an emotional evening at bloomfield road, with a 6—3 aggregate win over oxford. before the game, the players and fans paid tribute to nine—year—old blackpool boy jordan banks who was killed after being struck by lightning while playing football last week. blackpool had a 3—0 lead going into the game and this goal from jerry yates helped them on their way to the final. and after scoring his goal, yates commemorated jordan banks during his celebration. leicester were narrowly beaten by montpelier in the final of rugby union's european challenge cup. in

professor neil ferguson, whose modelling led to the first lockdown in march last year, has told the bbc that it's "highly unlikely" there will be any further lockdown in the uk. he explained that a number of steps taken to slow the spread of the virus meant there was now a clear path out of the pandemic. masks and social distancing. strict limits on gatherings and socialising. there have been unprecedented restrictions on everyday lives for much of the pandemic, but their�*s an increasing sense that things could be much closer to the old normal by the summer. one of the key scientists involved in lockdown policy told me he's more confident. so, i think it will feel a lot more normal in terms of being able to visit friends, family, go out to restaurants. we have yet to see quite what will happen in terms of holidays, particularly overseas holidays, but we will have many fewer restrictions. pubs and restaurants will allow customers back indoors soon. this was manchester today. then there's the planned end of all legal restrictions in england from june the 21st. professor ferguson believ

plessy versus ferguson was in 1890. they were many more, hundreds of mutual aid associations by that time. many of them supported the case. the president of the economy society he was also a member of the citizens committee who were involved in taking the case to court. so the economy raised money for it and he says that i know many of you are in support of the legislation of the jim crow law. they were very much against the jim crow law. and the plessy versus ferguson for those who do not know was a case of a stake into united states supreme court to separate but equal. spent okay i want to ask omar question and then maybe we will end fairly soon. i just wondered if you could talk for a minute about music. so many of us associate new orleans with music, with jazz in particular. you write a lot about music in the book. can you talk a little bit about the economy and its relationship to music over time? be too sure pretty few go to the new orleans jazz and heritage festival he will find the economy to based on this parti

army, as well as other members of congress, representatives ferguson, representative crow, and senator ernst. because today, we are hosting a true american hero, awarding an honor that is long overdue. more than 70 years overdue. 70 years ago on a frozen hilltop, in north korea, a young first lieutenant barely out of west point acted with bravery. he earned the military's second-highest honor. today after more than a ticket of effort, including support for my good friend, john mccain, god bless his soul, i am proud to give colonel ralph puckett the recognition he always deserved. i am humbled to have you here today. along with your loving family to award you the medal of honor. i understand your first response to was hosting this event was to ask, why all the fuss? [laughter] why all the fuss? can't they just mail it to me? [laughter] i was going to make it joke, but decided not to do that. colonel puckett, after 70 years, rather than mailed it to you i would've walked it to you, your lifetime of service to our nation i think deserves a little bit of fuss. you know, when i called to te

i'll ask economic historian niall ferguson. >> this is the kind of event that only happens a couple of times a century, let's say. >>> also, the far right in germany is on the rise, again. this troubling trend is mostly in reaction to a dire threat that never materialized. i'll explain. but first, here is "my take." the united states is entering a post-pandemic era. this is happening primarily because of the one aspect of this pandemic that differentiates it from mostly all previous ones in history. the triumph of science. within a year of covid-19 outbreak, the world saw the emergence of several high-quality vaccines. this is truly breathtaking. a decade ago the scientific consensus was it took ten to 15 years and a lot of luck to produce a vaccine for a new disease. over half of the adult population in the united states has received at least one dose of the vaccine, daily infection rates are dropping fast almost everywhere as are hospitalizations. there are some states that even on some days are reporting zero covid deaths. there are still dangers, vaccination rates are slowing down

professor neil ferguson says life should start getting back to normal in the coming months thanks to the vaccination programme. he said questions do remain over holidays, particularly travelling abroard this year, but he was optimisitc about life soon returning with far fewer restrictions. here's our health editor hugh pym. masks and social distancing, strict limits on gatherings and socialising, they've been unprecedented restrictions on everyday lives for much of the pandemic, but there's an increasing sense that things could be much closer to the old normal by the summer. one of the key scientists involved in lockdown policy told me he's much more confident. it will feel a lot more normal in terms of being able to visit friends, family, go out to restaurants. we have yet to see what will happen with holidays, overseas holidays, but we will have many fewer restrictions. pubs and restaurants will allow customers back indoors soon. this was manchester today. then there's the planned end of all legal restrictions in england from june 21. professor ferguson believes another lockdown is

and nato troop withdrawal from afghanistan, i spoke with newshour special correspondent jane ferguson. jane, first, what do we know about this bombing? >> it was, it seem a series of bombs. there was one massive car bomb that exploded around about 4:00 p.m. local time just outside the gates of the school. it's not specifically a girls school, but the boys and girls studied at different times. and in the afternoon, it was the slot for the girls. so, these girls were coming out, and it's believed that after that car bomb, there were at least two other explosions in the area. there have been 50 confirmed dead, over 100 injured, but some of those injured are also in critical condition. so, the death toll could rise even higher than it already has. we also know that the taliban have condemned the attack and are denying any responsibility. now, that's not unusual for the group. they have, of course, this deal with the united states that they signed that, sort of, insinuates, or at least it had some parts of it, some of the parts that we don't-- that have not been made public, are believed t

justice in america saying that he went as far as he could in his comments about trayvon martin and ferguson while he was in office. >> i went as far as i could just commenting on cases like trayvon martin or what was happening in ferguson because as we discovered not every president follows this, at least my successor didn't. but i followed the basic notion that the justice department was independent, i could not steer them. i did not in any way want to endanger their capacity to go in, investigate and potentially charge perpetrators, which meant that i could not come down or appear to come down decisively in terms of guilt or innocence in terms of what happened. yo you had institutional constraints. >> are there ten republicans who will stand up for democracy? are there? that's a question for former republican congressman and former governor of ohio mr. john kasich. he's next. >>> plus up ahead more tonight from former president barack obama speaking out about justice for black and brown americans. >> the criminal justice system in this country has never operated in a color-blind fashion.

when an actual department goes through a bad phase like it did in new york city and ferguson, missouri, and nothing is done, and the police chief is not held accountable, you have a problem there where the federal police have to come in and look at that and say you need to change your act. and when that's not done, ferguson actually caused the george floyd death. >> so, the justice department has announced a pattern or practice investigation into the minneapolis police department under the biden administration. that is happening now and ongoing. do you think that's going to help? >> john, john, listen to me. that's a start, that's a start. this should be around the whole country. there's one other last item that you have to listen to. it's very, very important. and that is that do you remember what police used to look like in this country when it was adam 12 and you were watching police departments and police stories and all those great shows that were on tv. the guys did not weigh 300 pounds. the cops did not weigh 300 pounds. they were 182 pounds to 195 pounds. they were in great sha
