and i think she is white privilege and i think she is saying that it should be understood ata saying that it should be understood at a concept like white supremacy which is obviously an extremely dangerous throughout history. even saying that is very offensive to a lot of people, black or not. your thoughts harriet? i think this article remain to be a comments made by an academic last week to a committee of mps. it was she was suggesting that actually it's quite damaging for white underprivileged people, of course boys and some working—class areas, really do struggle in school and struggle therefore through life because of a lack of privilege in suggesting this term potentially is quite damaging to those people to a sort of not able to get ahead. because of the whole series of factors that they are not privileged. as i she said it's a hugely controversial topic but not quite as straightforward as

saying that white privilege is something universal. d colonise the curriculum, what is your thoughts about when you hear that phrase? curriculum, what is your thoughts about when you hear that phrase ?m about when you hear that phrase ?m a rate loaded term. i'm surprised to go back to my old university in here how much it floats about. i think like white privilege does the language to this, you know, battle to try and, i'm trying not to use the word but to make this about fa ct, the word but to make this about fact, but ultimately it's a very, very emotional issue and i do believe that the minister is trying to not commit she's trying to make sure that young white boys are not growing up with guilt but they do need to learn about their history at the end of the day. you said that's an emotional issue, should we go to another one? in the financial times he was president election with the

volume has turned up to ii. according to the front page of the financial times trump public relation prospects dim as voters lose trust in his academic flair. we have not seen much economic flair from almost anyone in the last few months, presumably also the financial times says particularly from the president. elected on a bit to make america great again is seen as someone to make america great again is seen as someone who could perhaps transform america prospect economy and yet here we are two weeks before polling day in the us and this poll by the financial times suggesting that 46% of americans believe that donald trump public policies have hurt the economy compared to 44% who said that his policies had helped. a slim margin but perhaps not the way you would have expected that to be six months or a year ago. in march, before the lockdowns, americans believed his policies were helping the us economy by an 11 point margin. so all economies have been
10:48 pm
hit very heavily by this pandemic but interesting that it has changed the opinion of americans according to this financial times paul. i'm tempted to say polls, polls, polls, does anybody believe them after experiences in recent years with recent elections? that's true. the poll says trump is currently biting by 9.1 point. but even seeing that surely to urge people out to vote. this is not just surely to urge people out to vote. this is notjust a question of the economic handling of covid. this is also about the trade were that donald trump started with china and he's asked americans to judge his presidency by his handling of the economy, so presidency by his handling of the economy, so they will notjust be thinking about this recession, also thinking about this recession, also thinking about this recession, also thinking about the trade war. talking of trade wars, an interesting story coming up which

seems to pit to titans, behemoths, whatever you want to call them against each other. us justice department i1 side and google the other. harriet, the us accuses google of strangling competition in antitrust lawsuit, potentially the biggest for decades. this is huge. the really major attempt by the us to try and protect competition. the us is saying that google has effectively, or imposed its exclusionary practices mean that google far outweighs its competitors, however google or stain the case is deeply flawed and suggesting that people use google because they choose to, and not because they choose to, and not because they choose to, and not because they are forced to come up that's the implication of what the us attorney general is saying in this case suggesting or pointing to the use of android devices and saying that they can
10:50 pm
but the people are using androids are stopped from using or supporting rival versions of the open source operating system. i was just of the open source operating system. i wasjust thinking of the open source operating system. i was just thinking earlier on that how many lawyers there will be on both sides of this, on the us department ofjustice both sides of this, on the us department of justice and both sides of this, on the us department ofjustice and google productively almost every lawyer interested in tech will be on one side of the other of this. wondering from your own experience does anyone use anything apart from google? demystify that five to 10% of search engines which actually are not google, is that easy or not? where is askjeeves these days? it's gone, i used to use that 20 years ago! that's why this case is taken so long to come to the four. 60% of online searches in the us are on google, and it's also ironic that the us government leaps
10:51 pm
to the digital giant prospect defence with other countries want to impose digital sales taxes on them and yet they say that they are being u nfa i rly they say that they are being unfairly targeted, and now they want to appear very tough on these same firms. i think in the end is probably not? much of a dent on google given how deep their pockets are. in one sentence do you use anything apart from google? afraid not, occasionally my brain. i'm sorry for askjeeves, if it's still around, have not seen you for a while. thank you both, i will see you in about a0 minutes or so. that's it for the papers, you're in the uk lose and harriet will be back about half past 11 to look at more of the stories covered by new and websites a particular event in manchester. goodbye for now.
