to kind of like the a soothsayer. what's to happen next, you know? so how do you guys do with that kind of stuff? >> that's a very interesting question on all kinds of levels, one of which is that the kennedy assassination is different for you that it is for me, because i'm a generation later. so didn't live through, you know, i hadn't been born, when kennedy was assassinated. so for me it's all history. it's not lived experience. just in the same way i see with my own students now, not only to cannot remember the cold war when the berlin wall coming down, which is kind of a excitement moment for me, they are a generation they're not coming through, they don't have any memory of 9/11 either because they are 17, 18 years old. they experience something like that very differently. but i think on the question of how you write history like that, there are two different ways of thinking about it that, first of all as a storage we always recognize the importance of, in this case tragic, but we might describe as serendipity. i

far over the last few years the syrian regime has used other forces to eliminate one another it's a 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 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 others 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 of 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 allemande they so once these other forces have been eliminated like this lemming state then i think this era regime will turn to others and the meece like

but ultimately, there will be a kind of good news, which most of the media will regard as a surprise,n 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. but i think that actually, 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. well, we're all here with our crystal balls today. ijust can't believe there won't be recrimination. but there will be! this would hug will be really small. look what happened, look what happened. in the last period, they were all calling each other names, all casting each other out of the garden, and then suddenly... theresa may was praised. absolutely! all praising each other! it was all wonderful and happy. mutual regard, that will happen at least half a dozen times in the next year. at every point. pragmatism on all sides. i think t

there is a -- united states has a bible belt. there is kind of a book of mormon belt for mormon settlement as well, and it really does stretch from southern idaho through utah, northern arizona and into southern california. so that's part of the story is these little satellite communities eventually spaced strategically so that, in a day, you could reach another mormon settlement. one of brigham young's ideas was this was a way to get european converts eventually to utah safely. they could maybe come by way of san diego. that eventually changed with the transcontinental railroad. they found a cheaper and safer way to get mormon converts from europe. but originally the idea was that there would be a string of settlements that would form a kind of mormon corridor and provo was one of those early satellite communities. some of the architecture that remains from the 19th century has a distinctly mormon feel to it. most prominently now is the provo city center temple, which for years was the provo tabernacle. in 2010 it -- the interior was destroye

and one of the interest things that has come out of that, those connections is a kind of leadership out of a black congregation, particularly the clergy. now in this discussion, i'm going to talk too much about men, but males have dominated in some ways the kind of conversation about american politics for a number of reasons, as we can see. see my little thing works. let's try this again. so there are a host of characters, i'm not going to talk about all of them, but there are some things that i really want you to pay attention to. one, it says indigenous community organization. black churches are indigenous community organizations and it's an indigenous because it is controlled by the people at the very lowest level, at the ground level. and i don't mean that in terms of status, but at the ground level. and therefore it can -- you see this other word it creates its own organic leadership. so a leadership that belongs to its own community. and that we'll talk a little bit more about some of these preliminaries. ecleesial politics, electoral policy, public personalities, all of these go

>> a very interesting question on all kinds of levels. ne is that the kennedy assassination is different for you than it is for me because i am a generation later. i hadn't been born when kennedy was assassinated. it is all history. the same way i see my own students, not only do they not remember the wall coming down which is a seismic moment, and a memory of 9/11 because 70, 18 years old, they experience something like that. the question of how you write history like that there are two ways, and the importance in this case tragic, serendipity. and events happen the change the course of history, and as a historian the death of a president matters. the transition from one president to another means something and we think about broader context. the vietnam war, subsequent history, would kennedy have done the same thing? was he on the verge of doubling down or on the verge of pulling back. the question of civil rights and there is an example lyndon johnson, the great political operator, in national tragedy, and turn it into political capital

but ultimately, there will be a kind of good news, which most of the media will regard asa which mostf the media will regard as a surprise, which most of the media will regard as a surprise, even 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 peasant nation. what that will actually mean, your guess is as nation. what that will actually mean, your guess is as good as mine —— in terms of presentation. 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.” year than last year. and that is so interesting, domestically. ijust can't believe there will be —— there won't be recrimination. but there will be. this would 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, rob theresa may was praised

a conventional, predictable geopolitical answer, north korea at night.p the war of words, the kind of looseness of language on our side end of horse that proliferating and incredibly dangerous refinement of the program being done by a kid who is surrounded by people who will not give him inconvenient information. so, you know, i think just the combination is clearly a dangerous combination. there are some mitigating factors. you know, think the president's trip to china was a disaster and degrading, frankly for the president the united states. on the other hand i think the relationship with president xi could be a millionaire to have an escaladext of tory cycle. in other words, if more trust and be built in that relationship that is to the good because what i most worry about is something inadvertent that then spirals and the president -- i don't mean his actual phase, but face issues, the fact that he is said something and feel fiesta dip because he said it, you know, this kind off, narcissism,ride and frankly, those are very dangerous qualities to have in the mix and if as an mitiga

it's all a kind of a desperate effort to keep a con game going.mp 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 acco

a cpa firm. so this is kind of my part-time gig. -how did you guys all meet? ve 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 also put in a 50 loan. -and is there any other debt other than your 50? -nope. -do you have the financials where we can sit down, the four of us, and look at them? -so i've got two things here. this is actual '13 to '16. -okay. -'17 is a projection number. it has not been updated since february. -the fact that this isn't updated since february. -right. -it's alarming. financials should be updated at all times. because you're making purchasing, pricing, hiring, firing. you're making all of those decisions based on what your financial statement is telling you. but if it's six month

read german philosophy i i sort of started to get much more interested in how it all happened he's a kind of extension of me in a lot of ways he's big he's grumpy he's misanthropic. he's some decent he's temperamentally unemployable. most of your mo he's got a very dark sense of humor as i haven't got a very black sense of humor myself but i find that some. i find that chimes with bell in itself and it i think berliners have a free every dog sense of humor a cruel sense of humor. perhaps it's me growing up in school on that neighbor the scots have a very cruel sense of humor and they're cruel people. and say the cruelty comes out in the human i think really and that's that in a way it's the it's the humor that makes it possible for the writer to get through the book without committing suicide. writer and former journalist lives in cologne. his first crime novel was published in german in two thousand and seven it was the start of an award winning series about cologne native. who also works as a police inspector in berlin. carry on heart is a typical cologne native the church is important

i mean this is completely a different issue but what is important that we need to kind of. beer in mind that over the last year or so message from single handedly has contributed immensely to dissent and a new wave or anti americanism among various segments of iranian civil society and one of the main factors behind this new sense or thought and anti american sense is basically trumped i do look to an approach to basically. one plus five and of course there are definitely some shortcomings when it comes to economic policy then economic development by the government of mr romney but at the same time we should not completely ignore the international dimension or the last two years the government in this that it has been trying to kind of invite more international investors when it comes to kind of the energy sector where they had a degree for success but given current american kind of antagonism towards iran and given what is happening right now in in washington iran has not become a big part of attractive distillation of spot for international investment so of course we have

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? pacification?e of 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 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. showmencourse, they are . 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. if you are a rabbi, people want you to b

a number of things. he took anatomy classes, kind of interesting. he did a lot of debating. he debated with friends and sort of worked on his debating skills. he established himself as being kind of very interested in religion. and he did a lot of military drilling. now, that sounds kind of random, but there were a limited number of pathways you could take in the 18th century to become a gentleman. you know, someone who was of higher status. officer, army officer, clergy man, doctor, lawyer. he covered every base. he went to columbia and he was like, okay, i'm coming out of here as a gentleman with a career. here we go. he literally mapped a plan of action. that's really the way he thought throughout his life. it really does kind of give you a sense of why he was very good at doing the sorts of things he needed to be able to do as secretary of the treasury, because that's just kind of the way he thought. >>> a second example of that -- and this was from a letter i stumbled across and couldn't figure out what it meant and realized, oh, it's hamilton being hamilton. i stumbled

and that's incredible growth so of course you have individual investors looking at that and seen a kind of make a quick buck there should put my savings there on the other side because it is based on block chain technology and that's actually quite exciting i mean not to get too technical with basically what blocking means is you have these huge public leisure's so that you're able to follow transactions from the beginning to the end and that has a lot of other industries like supply chain management or even voting quite excited because it gives you the ability to follow a product from its production through every hand it goes to until it lands either maybe in your refrigerator or in your home and the same thing with voting it could give the ability for people to actually look at votes and make sure that nobody's actually tampering with the with them because they can follow the chain of the paper ballot from the beginning to the end the great thing being you don't need the middleman now how secure is it to having said all of that well as we've seen today bitcoin is vulnerable while the

was also a baptist minister. so the kind of ways that ones learns leadership is in the context of the eclesial politics. right? how to galvanize people, how to bring people together, how to win a majority. all those things are useful when you go into the electoral politics, whether you're the mayor. and, of course, we don't live far from kansas city here. we have a sitting congress person representing kansas city, missouri, emanuel cleaver ii. he is an ordained methodist minister. so these kind of ways that the training ground for family is the politics. so politics becomes very, very important. anytime you're running an organization, you're engaged in politics. whether you're the school principal or you're the superintendent. you still have to bring people together. and how are you going to do that? and when there are oppositions to your point of view, these are the kind of questions that -- these are kind of the training grounds where people learn, learn they're in their politics. is at the local level. so black people lea

there is a -- united states has a bible belt. there is kindbook of mormon belt for mormon settlement as well, and it really does stretch from southern idaho through utah, northern arizona and into southern california. so that's part of the story is these little satellite communities eventually spaced strategically so that, in a day, you could reach another mormon settlement. one of brigham young's ideas was this was a way to get european converts eventually to utah safely. they could maybe come by way of san diego. that eventually changed with the transcontinental railroad. they found a cheaper and safer way to get mormon converts from europe. but originally the idea was that there would be a string of settlements that would form a kind of mormon corridor and provo was one of those early satellite communities. some of the architecture that remains from the 19th century has a distinctly mormon feel to it. most prominently now is the provo city center temple, which for years was the provo tabernacle. in 2010 it -- the interior was destroyed by f

which you've been doing for a long time, very successfully, and with great dedication, do you find it a kindsn'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. snow and ice have caused problems for some of us this week, and it looks like there was more to come. the met office has issued an amber warning for snow across parts of the country as we head through the early part of tomorrow, because tonight, things will continue to turn very cold, with a hard, widespread frost. then this weather pushes in from the west. some rain and snow, temporarily from parts of northern ireland, wales and into the midlands. as we go into tomorrow morning, the area of most concern is around the sout

a presbyterian rebellion. again what kind of rebellion? a reformed rebellion, a calvinist rebellion. so let's take a little look now at the age of awakening. the 18th century is often called, as it was by tom paine, the age of reason. and so it was. and we're right to call it that. paine was right to call it that. but we ought not to forget that it was also the age of awakening. specifically the age of the so-called first great awakening. many of the american revolutionaries, for example, came to age during the great awakening. we have a little hard time sometimes sorting out the eras of american history. but george washington was in his early teens. sort of a pre-teen during the great awakening in virginia. patrick henry, james madison a little bit later. so what was this great awakening? it's a phrase that historians invented. but it is reflective of a reality. what was it? from the 1730s roughly to about 1770, i put that as one sort of book end because that's the year that whitfield dies. and one of the other great leaders had already pr

of mayor chisholm kind of a shameful-- of course, in the case of fred trump we don't need to verify whether he was actually an active klansman or what kind of klansman to know he was a racist. we know he put a little fees next to zero up the little quote unquote colored applicants of his building and the justice department nailed the case and they settled. but, i looked through i think it was "buzzfeed" and kind of like a burial-- very thorough examination of every scrap of paper they could find on that and it was a clan parade and there were lots of people arrested. they got in an altercation with police and everyone who was arrested was wearing a klan robe, so must the brooklyn eagle is not a particularly reliable reporters than i would say there's a pretty good chance we can establish not to a legal certainty, but with confidence that yes, fred trump was a member of the ku klux klan and was arrested during an altercation with the police in queens. >> hello. i was thinking about-- i believe it was from the 1915 based o

a little chuckle. and you know it was kind of play-acting. there was also an amazing autobiographical moment where a tape that was not one of his tapes, but a journalist named james cannon, conducted a long interview with him in january 1960, just as he is deciding to run. he's going to go for it. and it's a dinner party. it's cannon and ben bradley and his then wife toni bradley and jack kennedy and jackie kennedy. and it is the most raw, first draft of history you could ever imagine listening to. it's just why do i want this? i want it, because that's the seat of the action. i'm tired of being one of 100 senators and eisenhower controls everything. i want to control everything. and these are the ways i want our country to change. and you really hear in his voice, and basically in his solar plexus -- it's like coming out of him -- how much he wants america to change. and it's an incredible listening. >> you kind of feel like you're there, don't you? >> you do. >> you hear the glasses clinking. >> yes. >> i have a favorite tape, i think, of th

as a work of art to cello is a kind of aesthetic declaration of independence intended to demonstrate america's autonomy to britain and the rest of the world. jefferson called monta cello his essay in architecture with his vision of a new style of architecture for america jefferson created an aesthetic model which occupies an important place in american architectural history. the formal language of jefferson's architecture is as direct and precise as the words of the declaration of independence. and that the magical correctness of the proportions became his distinguishing hmong jefferson new and great kid ma the architecture of ancient rome and he was deeply impressed by its adaptation in the work of the italian renaissance architect andrea palladio as a self-taught architect jefferson adopted pullout is neo classicism as a sort of religion jefferson referred to palladio as for books of architecture as his bible to jefferson the neoclassical forms seemed to be universal and eternal on these foundations which had in his words the approbation of thousands of yes' he wanted to base the ar

assembles everything herself inside rubberbands create the necessary tension each donor is one of a kind that's what makes them so valuable. this was my first all while putting her together i made a mistake right at the start because i couldn't gauge how they were assembled and. so i put the head on the first and right away a metal part flew out. the whole doll literally went to pieces. but that doesn't happen any more. hunting no designs her own parts. the drawings are fairly complicated. she loves the design process. and done the work and then i make a wax casting to see if the head will work because sometimes you can't see that on the model i see if the shape of the head is ok this one looks like this. and that's how evelyn hunted won the hearts of don't lovers everywhere a south korean manufacturer is no using her design as a model ball joint and dolls all respect. popular they are. and things just kept on developing i started getting orders from every country imaginable some dolls live in south korea now some in finland or the us it's great. most of her dolls also contain parts from

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 expect the jeffersonian democracy will speak out which is north korea. if you were advising a president toda

friend who have been involved in gender transitioning, so i had some, like personal experience as a kind of way of opening the door but then i had to go find out a whole lot more and i think it's, i think it's great when you come out out of a novel, end of a novel feeling better informed than when you began writing it. i hope that is also true about the reader, the reader at the end of the novel feel as better informed than they were at the beginning. it used to be always said, one of the functions of the novel was to bring the news. and now, theoretically that is not true because there are some other ways of getting information. but it seems to me the more was there are of getting more information, the less information we have, you know. this, i'm not even talking about thee 45th president yet. [laughter]. but the internet is a place where garbage and truth coexists and seems to have the same level of moral authority. so i think actually it is very difficult for many of us to distinguish between those things and i think one of the great beauties of the act of writing and reading novels

i think because the likes of twitter and facebook are some very complicated lee in between a kind of neutral platform like the internet as a whole and news providers and as they have more and more power over the. vehicles via which people understand the world there is increasing pressure to make sure that particular kinds of sort of hateful material on there you know in the same way is you know you tube is under pressure constantly to remove you know videos of people being beheaded or child abuse videos or whatever there is a kind of. line that is difficult to place between you know violent speech and hateful speech and kind of violent and hateful imagery and there are no there are no clear boundaries between those two things and there is pressure from from within governments and from within the you given the platforms probably learn from previous experience i mean the fact that it's naive to think that racial slurs extremism in any kind of extremist thinking can be battled by people simply combat it by pointing out that it's wrong is a case of they've learned from past experience. ye

of entity that's not really a person but we can interact with it like a person and so we have to kind of set what are the ground rules are how do we navigate this so what are we learning what does roe v teach us what is erika teach us well a big part of what we need to learn is how people have expectations of robots and how to set expectations appropriately so if the robot comes off as being you know able to understand anything you say and respond in any way and then it really can't and people are disappointed and that's a bad interaction. so part of it is finding that balance and learning you know ways to sort of set expectations there's a lot of things that are very sort of technical that we don't think about every day that we do without knowing so for example if i want to approach a person or a group of people to talk with them there's certain motion patterns i make certain ways i approach certain ways a use gaze cues and we just do that unconsciously we don't think about it but if you program a robot you do it if the program every movement so we really have to study ok how do peop
