suicide such as the combine tragedy murders, suicide is is a small subset of suicide. perhaps one - 2% of suicides will result in the killing of someone else. so my recommendation is that we focus very much on trying to understand suicide and trying to prevent suicide so that these things don't erupt into a terrible tragedy. >> on saturday afternoon at 130 string to be what air back to back programs of winners of this year's pulitzer prize. tj stiles, this year's history recipient recalls the life of general george armstrong custer in his book, custer's trial. jody takes look at isis in his book, black plague. go to book to booktv.org for the complete we can schedule.

>> this sunday night on q&a, historian ron talks about the hit broadway musical, hamilton. based on his biography of alexander hamilton and the consulting work he did on the musical. >> you said to me right, is reading your book on vacation in mexico and as i was reading it hip-hop song started rising up and i said really. and and then he started telling me, hamilton's life was a classic hip-hop narrative and i was thinking what on earth is this guy talking about. i think it was he had a world-class ignoramus about hip-hop on the ham. my first question question him was can hip-hop be the vehicle of telling this kind of very large and complex story? he said i'm going to educate you about hip-hop and he did on the spot. he started pointing out that hip-hop you can pack more information into the lyrics than any other form it's very dense and rapid. he started talking about the fact that hip-hop not only has rhyme to endings it has

internal rides, it has word placement. he started educating me and all of these different devices that are very important to the success of the show. >> sunday night on a p.m. eastern and pacific on q&a. >> in this week's question time in the reddish house of commons, prime minister david cameron discussed immigration, education, the president obama's upcoming visit to britain. this is 35 minutes. >> questions for the prime minister. >> question number one mr. speaker. >> thank you. in addition to my in the house i should have further meetings later today. >> thank you mr. speaker.

on her 21st birthday in 1947 a young woman declared that her whole life whether long or short would be dedicated to the service of our nation. nobody mr. speaker could possibly argue that her majesty queen elizabeth ii, has done anything other than fulfilled the promise to the nation with dignity and grace. >> people across the country will be marking the 90th birthday tomorrow many different ways. >> .. willie pass on my best wishes? [laughter]

and those of the whole house to our remarkable monarch, and long may she rain. t 15. >> i am very glad my friend has raised this. right across your chart. tomorrow is an important landmark that only for her majesty the queen but the country and commonwealth as aa whole. she has served our nation with such dignity and ability for so many years, and i think it is right we will have the opportunity to pay tribute to what she has done and done in the whole country and house will want to join me in saying long may she rain. t 15 -- t 15.

>> thank you, mr. speaker. until then, mr. speaker, until then, could the prime minister explain why he is intent on forcing good and outstanding schools to become academies. >> the short answer is because we want schools to be run by teachers and not bureaucrats. but we also support it because of the clear evidence of academies. if you look at conversion academies 88% are either either88 percent are either good or outstanding. 's school started by academies, attendance has improved. the results are better, education is improving. i say, let's complete the work.

>> he has not managed to convince the forward chair of the education committee who said command i quote, current evidence does not prove that academies raise standards overall for disadvantaged children. why is the prime minister ignoring evidence of that committee chair and so many others on this issue? >> the results speak for themselves. there are 1.4 million more pupils in good or outstanding schools. let me taken to a school near where he lives. the primary school not far, and special measures, taken over by an academy, and two years later it was a good school. the only question i would put to the leader of the opposition and so many others comeau why do you want to stand on the picket line under a banner saying

save are failing schools? >> mr. speaker, as he well knows, every teacher, every parent, every pupil wants the best they can get and a good education system. what many are concerned about is this top-down reorganization. if we will listen to the former chair of the education select committee willie listen to his friends who said the school is well governed, well-run, and performing well it should be left alone and allowed to do his job. can the prime minister explain why good to -- good school leaders should focus time and results now on educating's children but arbitrary changes imposed from above? >> let me make two-point's. i would say they have nothing to fear from

becoming academies but a huge amount again. even outstanding are good schools, we want them to be better. the truth is academies have greater independence letting head teachers run their schools and is something started by the liver company, given rocket boosters under this government. we see massive improvements and say let's get on with it can't finish the job. >> mr. speaker, i am sure the prime minister is aware of the views. the conservative cabinet members for education and his own county said, i am fed up with dictates from above. you will do this, and you won't do that. he claims to be an advocate of devolution.

is he not concerned about criticisms from his friends who said there is little accountability over involvement. can the prime minister understand the anger so many people feel that is being imposed on them, system they do want and wherewhat is often already very good if not outstanding schools. >> always good. t 15. >> i will pass over that. the truth is, creating academies is true devolution. your putting the power in the hands of the had teachers and, of course you will find people and local government who want to keep things exactly as they are. when they fail they are intervened on so much

faster. local authorities schools are often left to fail year after year after year. i think one year of a failing school is one year too many. let's encourage academies will build a great a great education system and that opportunity for all. t 15. >> mr. speaker last week weekend spent an afternoon at a local school in my constituency. duncan primary school. i had a long discussion with the head teacher, parents, and the pupils. for years there were interesting but one asked me to say this comeau why are you doing this? they love the school from other like the school the way it is.

they don't want any top-down reorganization, and he has not even convinced the former education secretary who says, i don'tsays, i don't quite know why the government is doing this. >> my answer to those people's is very much the answer that he gave because i was following his discord. he said, i want to see them properly funded. of course, there will be fair funding right across the country. and with our plan for academies there will be genuine families of schools, families that choose to group together, and here is the point about outstanding schools, not only can they get better that they will be a will thatable to help other schools to improve. again, that is why we need this reform to make outstanding schools even better and help raise the

aspiration of all. that is what it is all about. >> we appear to be heading in this some kind of fantasyland here. the institute for fiscal study, the institute for fiscal study states that school spending is expected to fall finally 7 percent in real terms in the next four years, the biggest cut since the 1970s. so why on earth as the prime minister proposing to spend 1.3 billion pounds on a top-down reorganization. teachers don't want it, parents don't want it, even his own mp and chancellor does not want it. can't you think again and support schools and education, not force this on them.

>> let me answer this question very directly about spending. we have protected spending all the way through the last parliament and we are spending 7 billion pounds on more school to make up for the woeful academic action under last labor government. that is the truth. he talks about fantasyland. i thinki think it is the labor party of this week enters the fantasyland where they are now abandoning trident, selected someone who sits on platforms, and i have now decided when i read they are going to ban mcdonald's i thought it was the 1st sensible decision that they have made. it was in the job destroyer but one of britain's biggest employers. they wonder labor is in the split -- in despair. frankly, i'm loving it.

>> thank you. >> thank you, mr. speaker. can i ask my right honorable friend whether he agrees with the february forecast issuing on monday which blocks if we stay in the european union there will be 3 million more migrants by the year 2030. last year my right honorable friend and i were elected on a cleara clear manifesto pays to refuse their migrations in the tens of thousands. how we deliver on that pledge unless we leave the european union? >> the point about the treasury forecast,forecast, it takes the office of national statistics figures and does not alter them but is trying to make it clear argument backed by the government of the bank of england yesterday that was

shallow would happen if burton leaves the eu and there is a demand for independent unclear statistics. >> it is believed that the recent murder is religiously motivated. muslim faith leaders and tell united against extremism. will the prime minister join me and colleagues of both parties and supporting his campaign and foster understanding and stand up to extremism? >> i will certainly join the right and honorable gentleman. i think that this demonstrates comeau what is question handset is when he not only to stand up against violence and backs of appalling violence related to stand up against the extremist right that

sometime tries to justify events like this. >> in total agreement with the prime minister. just the most recent example of sectarian extremism in the uk. this includes reports of refusing employment, schoolchildren being bullied and shunned and working to bring faith leaders together. does the prime minister agree this is totally unacceptable in aa country where we believe in free speech and religious tolerance and the time has come for all communities and all faith leaders of all religions to stand up against extremism? >> i certainly agree that faith leaders can play a huge role and welcome what they do, but we need to be clear about what we are facing. the attack demonstrated again that what we face is

not some clash on civilizations between islam and christianity or islam and buddhism. but we are seeing is a small minority within one of the great religions of our world believing that there is only one way, violent, extremist way of professing their faith. this is a battle within islam and we have to be on the side of the majority and make sure that they win. and to understand what is happening here. >> thank you, mr. speaker. the future services of been thrown into doubt. does the prime minister share my concern that these services are placed point. >> aware of the proposals and i understand no decision has yet been made. the plans are due to be considered and remember,

remember, these bodies are now by a large clinical he led. decisions about what services are required will be taken by the group. they do still have to meet, strengthen public and patient engagement and support the patient choice. >> mr. speaker, aaron our cities is toxic and illegal with diesel fumes contributing to 800 deaths a week, 40,000 killings year. so why is the prime minister , instead of removing the most heavily polluting diesel vehicles from our streets lobbying the eu and brussels with the mayor of london to weaken plans to improve air quality and save lives?

>> we are investing in better quality. we are committed over 2,000,000,000 2,000,000,0002 billion pound s to help operators upgrade their fleets, seen air quality improvement in terms of permissions of matters oxide comingnitrous oxide coming down by 17 percent. when it comes to these standards that we have to meet we are working with our car industry, and i want a strong car industry in britain.britain. i'm proud of the fact that it has recovered so strongly and we now make more cars than the whole of italy and our major investor in builder diesel engines that will make sure they have the resources needed to meet the high standards that are set out. >> it is a truth you -- universally acknowledged. that is why 4 million people visit those beaches every year. does the prime minister agree that he should work with the environmental

agency, the local enterprise partnership, local counsel to build on the work of this government to extend the tourist season and build a billion pound economy by the end of the decade. my honorable friend is absolutely right and his wine announced a five-point plan to encourage people to visit overseas and british people. that is exactly what is happening. >> mr. speaker, more than 10,00010,000 people signed up as it to suck -- signed a petition calling on the government not to cut funding. given the major reports last week in office investigation by the regulator. is that time the prime minister supported independent which are vital and hope to keep.

>> we are supporting local pharmacies. there is a specific scheme to help. there is a massive increase in policy or dispensing, and as we make sure as much of the resources go to the frontline of the doctors and nurses and operations comeau we have got to make sure we're getting value for money. one of the same time protecting what she speaks about. >> mr. speaker, given his earlier important comments does my friend agree it is the duty of all members to condemn all extremism and never to share platform with any extremist? >> my friend is absolutely right. if we are going to condemn the extremism that seeks to

justify violence in any way it is important we do not back these people will appear on platforms with them. i am concerned about a candidate who has appeared again and again and again. >> well, the leader of the labor party is saying it is disgraceful. right. so, the honorable member has appeared on a platform nine times. he even said -- i think they are shouting down because they don't want to here the truth. anyone can make a mistake about who they share platform with. if you do it time after time after time it is right to question your judgment.

>> bring hope to the 18,000 people. it isit is critically important the uk government provides all the support he can. the prime minister become the company's head of sales? the 20 biggest customers who make up about 20 percent. >> we will certainly do everything that we can now this company and help its way it's customers during this time. right now we are talking to make sure all of the questions they need answered are answered by us because we want proper sales process and want to be clear the government is prepared to support the process.

>> mr. speaker, security, does the prime minister share my concern, the current legitimization, freedom of speech. thesis, turkish breezes, and booming identity fraud. currently outstripping everyone. >> it is certainly true, you are only as strong as your weakest border, absolutely right, but we are not in that zone. they have decided to offer visas the turkish nationalists. remember, not, not a right to go and live and work or resign, a right to visit.

those don't have those rights of the right to come to britain either. >> in the last hour mr. speaker we had devastating news, propose to close their site and loss of 700 jobs. preferably to save these jobs are to establish a task force to create conservative opportunities. >> i can certainly give the honorable gentleman that assurance. we will make sure a task force of ministers is available. >> array.

>> organize seminars for college like myself going to modern science that she thought needed to be improved. similar seminars for the very respected cabinet colleagues on the nature of international trade because some very respected figures believe that you simply turn up and sell goods and services that comply with british made rules but do not have to comply with any rules agreed with the country to which you are selling. and also include some of the many businessmen are putting investment decisions on all because of the uncertainty after june 23, the dangers

we would run. trading arrangements with the outside world as i'm certain some people are trying to. >> i always listen very carefully. i will consider such seminars. i hope they will not be as frightening. i choose to be under margaret thatcher. i was responsible for trade and industry research. i did not know and i have never wanted the floor to open up and swallow me more than at that moment. i think the point my honorable friend makes is that just because you have friendly relations with the country does not mean you get automatically good trade relations. we are pleased president obama is coming here this friday, and it is worth noting even though we have the friendliest relations with america we cannot sell

certain products. you don't just need good relations, you need nailed down trade arrangements. >> the chancellor announced the creation which are broadly welcome. i am concerned progress would then be reserved. while it pushing these plans? even a former education secretary, unnecessary. >> wait for the outcome of this review. but some schools that have been failing the year after year have been led by local authorities in the state. we found the way to help succeeding schools.

why, 200,000 a year. can you give us some details? >> the agreements we just reset the european union. the treasury document is very clear about not trying to make all sorts of different assumptions about variables and take a clear set of statistics established and analytically

robust process. >> thank you, mr. speaker. in 2009 michelle was brutally raped and murdered. since 2011 a man thought in connection with this crime and seven of accounts of sexual violence have beendi invading exhibitions from india. over 30 court appearances to date in another one plan for tomorrow.tomorrow. and despite the severity of the crimes in italy in these proceedingsur there is no record of all of any ministerial our diplomatic representation for either the foreign or home office. will the prime minister today personally commit tohe put this right and directly raise this matter so that we

can finally seek justice. >> i will give the honorable lady that assurance. all these individual cases if that is what the victims want us to do. we raise them just as we do a series of cases, people stuck in theic indian justice system. me the i was not aware of the specific case. >> mr. henry schmidt. >> thank you very much, mr. speaker. but the president visiting the uk later this week, ask my right honorable friend, the government rightly concluded in a report last year that they have the right of resettlement. with the us comeau we will he raised the case of the us assistance to the british indian ocean territory?

>> i am certain that we will be discussing this issue i know that it is right thatt my honorable friend raisedns it. whatwhat he said is not entirely correct. the national security council and cabinet have been looking at thel situation and reviewing allan the options for how we can help with the future. those discussions are takinglu place, and obviously we need to come to a conclusion about the best way forward. leae >> thank you, mr. speaker. you, mr. speaker. some people think that the worst case that has been made so far is to claim that england is an island. can the prime minister told the house? >> i think probably the one. that is not only incredibly sad but given that israel and azerbaijan and anyone

near your seems to be able interest really a, i think we're pretty safe not one. >> thank you, mr. speaker. >> would my right honorable friend point out that in a series of european court that -- court judgments using eu data protection tools in the eu charter of fundamental rights the eu has established his jurisdiction over our intelligence data. so he therefore, if we vote far from the us gaining influence in the eu the united states is losing control and influence over closest allies? >> i am sure the president will take all these calculations in to account

for saying. let me just make two points. this decision is one for the british people and the british people alone. personally, i believe we should listen to advice from friends and other countries, and, and i struggle to find the leader of any friendly p country who thinks should leave. when it comes to the us it is worth looking at what so many treasury secretaries of said. going back republican orti democratic of ministrations it may not be that far back for many people. listening to what our friends say is not a bad idea. >> mr. speaker, the themr. speaker, the average property price is 682,000 pounds. the median lower court made her to have federal flat is one of the half thousand pounds. can the prime minister tell my constituents how on earth

housing bill is going to help them?r the fi >> it is going to help them because we are building starter homes for the 1st time that people can buy, extending the right to buy the housing association tenants so that they can buy homes. i notice, lady nugent giving us the benefit of her wisdom. helping the housing association. also, we have the skin helping many people get on and shared ownership as well all those things will help. 101,000 homes have been built including 67,000 affordable homes. we need to build anymore and make them sensible to people who work hard and do the right thing. that is suicide we are on. .. >> thank you, mr. speaker. he prime minister, --

[inaudible] would the prime minister agree that this precious habitat and >> >> the ancient forest that she mentions to look at what she said it is the most important thing we can do to make sure more force and more trees. >> the secretary ed state for northern ireland said
