it doesn't matter about what side of the arley lea n matter about what side of the arley lean on, aterican electoral public. it's disappointing, to say the least. really interesting to talk to you. thank you for talking to us popular have a great night. the hispanic vote was very important to this bow, including texas and florida. democrat and majority whip of the virginia general assembly, alfonso lopez, joins me now from arlington. we talk loosely about the hispanic or latinx mode, but there is a broad swathe of people in there, it is not individuals, this is not a block? no, no, that is true. the latino vote is not a monolith stop as a dice bra are of many nationalities and the fa ct of many nationalities and the fact is that cuban—americans have different issues than chicano americans in california and from arizona —— diaspora. and those from el salvador americans in virginia. very different priorities and issues in each area. president trump did spot and opportunity in florida with cu ban—america ns and those from venezuela, do you think your own party has hit the spot? well, i

so let's look at the arley hours of boxing days. a bit of wint riness across the southern uplands.ing day, most of the morning and afternoon is bright. colder with five degrees. but watch this low pressure sneaking in, getting into that southern portion of the uk during boxing day night. there is the clock, it is difficult to get the days right this time of year. here it is, the outlook for christmas. so there will be some rain. some will be turning to snow, but a little bit later on into boxing day maybe in southern parts of uk as well. on balance we won't be seeing scenes like this. this is just for the festive period. that is it from me, have a great day wherever you are. this is bbc news. the headlines at 2.00pm: north korea says the latest un sanctions are an "act of war," as they amount to a complete economic blockade. rescuers are searching for victims of a tropical storm in the southern philippines — more than 200 people have died in mudslides and flash floods. emergency services have yet to reach some of the affected areas. 70,000 people have been displaced from their home

for more on this i've been speaking with arley gill — chair of grenada's national reparations commissioneaction to sir keir starmer�*s comments on opening a discussion around reparations at this year's commonwealth leaders summit. if it is that the prime minister speaks of the opponents of slavery and the slave trade and indeed andy king, king charles iii, will have spoken about the past, we believe that they should apologise because, in recognising that what has gone before, was a reckless car, not just on the caribbean and africa but left a scar is well on the united kingdom, and it has affected and the shape our future, our present, our present, and it is only fitting that the head of the commonwealth and the united kingdom at the very least ought to apologise. it is the moral and proper thing to do at the issue of the apparent injustice should be discussed at the commonwealth heads, and we expect several caribbean heads to raise that issue in their presentations, but we believe, as we go forward and look to the future, it is extremely important that we consider our past and what is n

arley gill is chairman of grenada's national reparations commission.d demand that that profound sorrow be converted into an apology for acceptance that what they have done is a crime against humanity and they should make some repair with regards to the harm that was caused by the actions and the involvement in the slave trade and slavery. so, we're hoping that this research will trigger the discussion of reparative justice in the castle of the british monarchy and indeed, in the parliament of the british government in the soonest possible time. i asked our royal correspondent, sarah campbell, how significant this is. what we know so far is that it's historic royal palaces, which is effectively a charity which looks after royal palaces, has become a partner in this research project which is being carried out by a researcher at the university of manchester. and the details we know about the project itself are that she, camilla de koning, is exploring, among other things, the links between the british monarchy and the transatlantic slave trade during the

for more more on this i'm joined now by arley gill, chairman of grenada's national reparations commissionqie british prime minister ackowledging the �*abhorrance�* of the slave trade and past actions. but very much trying to look forward and not backwards. what's your reaction from hearing that? well, thank you for having me and good day to all of your listeners. if it is that the prime minister of england speaks of the abhorrence of slavery and slave trade and genocide and the king, king charles iii, would have spoken about the past, we believe that it is only fitting that they apologise because in recognising that what has gone before, what crimes against humanity that have left a scar notjust humanity that have left a scar not just on the humanity that have left a scar notjust on the caribbean and in africa but left a scar as well in the united kingdom, and it has affected and shaped our future, our present and it is only fitting that they hold the commonwealth and the united kingdom at the very least up to apologise, it is the moral and proper thing to do and the issue of preparatoryjus

on one of the forts built by britain and france to defend their lucrative slave trade, i met with arleyommission. reparations mean to us compensation for the exploitation of our forefathers. our ancestors, enslaved africans, worked on the plantations for free, and that established the industrial revolution and triggered the development of western european societies. what kind of compensation do you think is appropriate? we believe that they can make significant contribution to eradicating illiteracy. so our forefathers, they were not given the benefit of proper educational institutions. and so our governments have inherited a high illiteracy rate. our health system, the caribbean is well known for chronic disease, diabetes and hypertension. and it's a direct legacy of the diet that we inherited from the period of slavery. so we believe that... ..the european countries, the former colonial powers, can assist greatly in our health care system by transfer of technology and medication and so on and so forth. as calls for reparations grow, prince edward and his wife sophie cancelled a visit

it is arley days.e banks possibly from companies, these are all iconic and symbolic moves. they haven't moved any operation, they're just moving the office in case they need to be in the eu. but this is in the early days and it requires independence from what we have heard, spain is not going to agree on independence. so all of this is very premature. the real issue is what happens to spain as a country itself and from the economic side, i think the only real risk i see is what you said that is that the downgrading from the ratings agencies. that is a real risk. political uncertainty is the most important input. so if tomorrow we have a declaration of independence, that seems unlikely, but we could political uncertainty in spain and that will drive the cost of lending higher up. now the nobel prize for economics has been awarded to the america richard failer. who integrates economics and psychology. microeconomics works on the assumption that people and firms are rational in maximising whatever its, pr

and also, the iranian director who was nominated, he is a —— and also, the actor, arley, he he is quited creative people. i think there will be political statements. i don't think they will come from jimmy kimmel. he will do his routine and get into it and be neutral. but this is an exciting year, also for the themes. so many films, short documentaries about syria, about refugees, about africans coming to the various places in lampedusa um to escape persecution. it will be a very interesting night. and the iranian director of the salesmen... yes, in trafalgar square in the middle of the night, a huge turnout and he is a brilliant director. he did a film last year about a taxi driver driving around tehran. it was called taxi came round. amazingly he is anti— regime and yet he works. they have not done anything punitive to him in a run. —— in iran. he is angry about the dance so he will not come to the ceremony. the ceremony sta rts come to the ceremony. the ceremony starts in five minutes. thank you very much. we will have lots more on the oscars when that ceremony starts. hello, good mo

arley in the game nay —— early in the game nay created opportunities.h is the challenge? perth will be 20 degrees hotter against a french side. they were very physical against australia and then they emptied their tank and couldn't responsibility. i think the big thing for england at moment is to make sure their defence it good, which it has been. but they need to be more clinical in attack. they are not getting their combinations right and ona not getting their combinations right and on a dry surface they have got to nail that. and on a dry surface they have got to nailthat. a and on a dry surface they have got to nail that. a victory for england against lebanon, they are up and running for the tournament, but now it is off to perth to face france in a week's time. england are second in their group, behind australia, after that win. scotland are bottom of theirs — the other game in that group ended in a 32—18 win for tonga over samoa. still to come on sportsday: the curtain is raised, ready for the autumn internationals, as the all blacks beat the barb

i know it is arley in the investigation —— early in the investigation, but do you think it was an inspiredr was there something more direct? yes i think it is a very important issue. because some of the media are accepting the interpretation of events from islamic state, the body of the islamic state, the body of the islamic state, the body of the islamic state claimed responsibility for the attack. but we are we have to bear in mind this has occurred in the past and it has been proven there was no links to the terrorist group itself. it was basically previous terrorist attacks in europe like in london or berlin, they were perpetrated by individuals who were definitely inspired by this type of ideology of the islamic state, but without any concrete link with the organisation. so in this case, the second hypothesis seems at the minute more plausible, which is that these individuals did not have direct contact or didn't follow orders from the terrorist group, which is quite weakened at the minute, the islamic state, but they we re minute, the islamic state, but they were inspired by their id

arley gill is chairman of of the grenada national reparations committee and member of the caricom reparationsicking up tremendous momentum and barbados last year has led the way. and i believe thatjamaica and saint kitts, from the utterances of the prime ministers and the cabinet and government, they are being i believe they are on track sooner rather than later to go the way of republic. and i believe that soon after grenada as well will be on the agenda. and other countries, as we continue to strive to deepen and to strengthen our democracy and our independence. of course, we believe that getting rid of the king as head of state would go some way in achieving that. ijust, i mean, would you say it's fair to say that that the queen in many ways kept the idea of the commonwealth and an attachment to the commonwealth alive for many, many years, and that has now shifted? it has and you see the issues is that when we swear, when our politicians or members of parliament and so and prime minister, when they take the oath of office, they are still swearing allegiance to the king or the queen of engl

adams will take on the wbo flyweight champion arley mucino for her first shot at a professional worlde venue where ali boxed twice in the ‘70s. this is the reason why i turned professional. i have achieved everything there is to achieve as an amateur, and i wanted to go on and get the world title as a professional boxer, just like my hero, mohammed ali, and to think that he has boxed in the same arena that he has boxed in the same arena that i am going to be boxing in, is unbelievable. i'll have more for you in the next hour. if you keep hearing about the backstop and are wondering what on earth it is, here's chris morris from our reality check team to explain. you may have heard about the backstop. it is a baseball term, really, so what does it have to do with brexit? think in terms of a safety net, and you get the idea. it is key to the irish border after brexit. because this line between the irish republic and northern ireland will be the only land border between the uk and the european union, and that matters for trade, because in theory, there should be checks on staff crossing t

and kenneth, almost as arley, over the past few days, we have nearly got used to those apocalyptic picturesm i right in thinking actually that is a secondary purpose of those highways? they were always meant to be run off channels, to carry flooding away, and i guess they are doing theirjob. well, in a sense they are, but many of those highways, and there are so many of them, are still covered in water and impossible. it is difficult if not impossible. it is difficult if not impossible to get around this city. what makes houston such a problem, and so susceptible to flooding, is that there are so many waterways, we are surrounded by bayous and rivers, and then that they and the gulf, but also that houston is so flat. and you have all that water surrounding it, sojust even you have all that water surrounding it, so just even a little you have all that water surrounding it, sojust even a little bit you have all that water surrounding it, so just even a little bit of rainfall causes some flooding problems here, never mind catastrophic rainfall like the city has never seen before. thank you so

arley gill is chairman of grenada's national reparations commission and a former ambassador.ned what action he wanted from the palace. the king and the prince of wales, speaking of being profoundly sorrowful for the involvement with regards to the slave trade and slavery. we would want and demand that that profound sorrow be converted into an apology for acceptance that what they have done is a crime against humanity and they should make some repair with regards to the harm that was caused by the actions and the involvement in the slave trade and slavery. so we're hoping that this research will trigger the discussion of reparative justice in the castle of the british monarchy and indeed, in the parliament of the british government in the soonest possible time. 0ur royal correspondent sarah campbelljoins me now. he described it as momentous but how significant do you think it is? let me cive significant do you think it is? let me give you some details about the project which the palace revealed today, it is partner in a research project, historic royal palaces partnering with
