chinese diplomats deny that beijing was targeting any specific religious or ethnic group.lomatic correspondent, james landale, has been examining the document. for two years now, the bbc has reported on camps like these in western china where about a million uighurs and other muslim minorities have been detained without trial. china says the uighurs held here learn chinese and communist party doctrine as part of an attempt to combat extremism and terrorism. but a leaked document seen by the bbc suggests these camps are part of a comprehensive crackdown on religious practice. across 137 pages, the spreadsheet sets out in huge detail why more than 300 uighurs from one particular county in xinjiang province were considered for detention. some were detained because they had applied for a passport. they had relatives abroad or had unintentionally landed on a foreign website while searching the internet. others were detained because they used to grow a long beard or used to wear a veil, or because they had a minor religious infection. some were guilty of violations of birth cont

you could say that women have been denied access to arctic out of music many times they weren't allowed to draw live models they were expected to draw or to paint pretty things such as flowers and when they did. produce work as good as their male counterparts it was considered an oddity or just a lot of ignored now of course curators are falling over themselves to bring them to the forefront rightly so and we just saw some of frida kahlo as famous portraits in self portraits in there and she's one artist who hasn't been ignored obviously she's been merchandised to the max how does she fit into this discovery of female artists so i think it's easy to forget the frida kahlo was also in the shadow of her husband diego rivera for very long and it wasn't until the eighty's decades after she died that his work started to get a little bit old fashioned looking for many people and her work was really rediscovered and given the recognition that it deserves now i'm not saying. the other women in this exhibition here in frankfurt will be as famous as she is but there is some really good stuff here

the home secretary categorically denied any involvement in this campaign to the cabinet office.ve her. she hasn't made the effort i would expect to dissociate herself from the comments. even despite this campaignl from the comments. even despite this campaign i was willing to effect a reconciliation with the home secretary. as requested by the cabinet secretary on behalf of the prime minister. but, despite my efforts to engage with her, priti patel has made no effort to engage with me to discuss this. i believe these events give me very strong grounds to claim constructive, unfair dismissal, and i will be pursuing that claim in the courts. my experience has been extreme but i consider there is evidence that it was part of a wider pattern of behaviour. one of my duties as permanent secretary is to protect the health, safety and well— being permanent secretary is to protect the health, safety and well—being of oui’ the health, safety and well—being of our 35,000 people. this has created tension with the home secretary and i encouraged her to change her behaviour is. i have receive

i'm sure that the government will deny those kinds of allegations. no secret that we have a government that is ruthlessly willing to pursue their own agenda, and if that means making big changes in whitehall, well, so be it. but, of course, there is a difference between that, between a determinedly focused government that is willing to rattle a few cages here and there and a government that is actually doing things that people believe are unpleasant and crossed the line in terms of the kinds of behaviour and the kind of standards that traditionally have been upheld in governement in this country. laura kane spoke there. —— the latest person diagnosed with the coronavirus in england is the first to catch it on uk soil. the man from surrey hadn't been abroad recently. public health officials are now trying to track down anyone who came into contact with him. it came as another patient, who'd been quarantined on a cruise ship injapan, became the first briton to die from the illness. the respiratory disease, which causes pneumonia—like symptoms, has now

we all know that denying care to the most vulnerable among us is barbaric. and this body ought to be able to stand 120 against that. it's inhumane, and it is passive andas fantasized and the senate should today condemn and prohibit that practice. thatll practices what my colleagues really want toca defend? i can't believe that they do. and when you talk to them one to one, the 44 who filibustered this a year ago this week, when you talk to them one to one they get real uncomfortable and they try to change the subject to all sorts of other debates. because they don't want to have a conversation about the actual legislation and the actual babies we are considering today. why? because they're scared to death of planned parenthood army of lobbyists. not because any of them really want to defend the morally indefensible practice that is passive and fantasize. they don't want to defend it there just scared. last year, 44 senators filibustered this legislation. they said it was okay to look the other day while newborns were discarded. they said federal law should n

he denies all the charges. thank you very much.dence in the home secretary, priti patel, after a series of newspaper reports claiming she is distrusted by intelligence officials in m15, and that she has bullied staff. a home office spokesman has said the allegations are false, and deeply concerning. 0ur assistant political editor, norman smith, is in westminster. tensions are clearly running high in priti patel‘s department. how damaging are these? 0n the face of it, these are explosive allegations. the suggestion that priti patel is not trusted by security officials because they do not think she is up to thejob because they do not think she is up to the job and are therefore withholding information from her. that is almost unprecedented and, if true, it would make it pretty much impossible for the politician in charge of counter security to do her job and would raise queries about the integrity, the independence of the integrity, the independence of the security services, which is why the security services, which is why the claims

because once they get access to an emergency room they cannot be denied care. there's so much inefficiency ample the system and opportunities to make those changes. if we have more people involved with uniform standards and we don't wait until conditions get so bad that they are admitted to an emergency room we have people on the streets with substance abuse and mental illness who do not have care, and it spills over into the broader community as well as themselves. there is real potential to be able to put these pieces together in a way that provides better care, lower costs, and less individual tragedy. host: if your version comes in the place what happens to the affordable care act and those under it? subsumed would be under that. there will be transition issues, we talked about two years, four years, these things don't happen overnight and there would be an opportunity for people to weigh in and fine-tune it. that's fine. but the principles need to be universal access, the government pays for it, streamline proposals, health care as a right, and be able to

when the reports first emerged about what he had done, he denied it. then his explanation changed to, well, maybe i did do it, but it was only because i was trying to root out corruption. except that if that were true, there would be some documentary record to prove that, and we've seen absolutely none, even after i asked for it during the questioning period. and now his defense team has gone so far as to claim that, well, it doesn't matter if he did do it because he's the president and the president can do anything he wants if it will help him get reelected. breathtaking. to put it another way, when he got caught, he lied. then when that lie was found out, he lied again, then again, then again. and along the way, his own defense counsel could not papier-mache together even the most basic argument to actually exonerate him. the best case they could muster boiled down to when the president does it, it's not illegal. nixon already tried that defense. it did not work then, and it does not work now. because here's the thing. in america, we believe not in r
