yet little is known about the disease called alabama rot.red in america in the late 19805 — it causes lesions on dogs' legs and paws. but there's still no known cure — which is why vets and animal welfare groups are meeting in reading today for the first time in a bid to tackle it. duncan kennedy reports. it is that time of day. the walk, the run, the fun. repeated by 8 million dogs across the united kingdom. but for gabrielle williams from monmouthshire those joys came to an end earlier this year. her dog fleur, a family pet for five years, caught alabama rot and died. it is still hard to get your head around she's not here because it happens quickly and she was quite young, just five and a half. it was hard to see. so it has been difficult and very sad. alabama rot was first recorded in the united states in the 1980s. and it gives dogs lesions, ulcers and in many cases kidney failure. so it is a very unpleasant disease and luckily lola has avoided it. but 15 dogs in the uk have died from alabama rot so far this year, bringing the total to

alabama always held a special place in my heart. i went on to serve almost eight years on active duty as an army aviator, often have an -- often having the opportunity to come back to alabama for training. i would like to share with you a couple of things i learned along the way that i hope you can apply to your own life as you head out to the real world. the first and most important is to be open to new experiences. i had no idea becoming an army pilot would profoundly change my life and impact me. as someone who has moved 21 times in her career, i have constantly had new experiences thrown at me. a lot of those experiences to be way out of my comfort zone. if you are willing to be open to new things, you will have really cool stories to tell when you are a commencement speaker. life will definitely throw you curves along the way, the prepared to meet them head on and accept the challenges you are given. many times these challenges will carry you in a direction you weren't even expecting. as i mentioned, i was a helicopter pilot in

it is still ha rd to alabama rot and died.d she was quite young, just five and a half. it was hard to see. so it has been difficult and very sad. alabama rot was first recorded in the united states in the 19805. recorded in the united states in the 1980s. and recorded in the united states in the 19805. and it recorded in the united states in the 1980s. and it gives dogs nations, ulcers and in many cases kidney failure. so it is very unpleasant disease and luckily lola has avoided it. but 15 dogs in the uk have died from alabama rot so far this year, bringing the total to almost 100 since it was first noticed in 2012. those first cases were seen in hampshire but there have now been exa m ples hampshire but there have now been examples in 29 counties. there's no obvious pattern to the location or breed. today's first—ever conference on alabama rot in the uk has been organised by david walker, of that was studied it for five years. what is your gut feeling of what this is? i would say my gut feeling is that intrinsically within t

alabama rot remains extremely rare but symptoms should not be ignored.ource live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story, president trump has defended his decision to sack the head of the fbi. the white house said he had been considering firing him since taking office. now, painkillers could increase the risk of heart attacks and other heart problems, the finding of a study published in the british medicaljournal. the drugs in question are anti—inflammatory painkillers like i be pregnant but it's important to say this is not an issue for most of us —— like ibo pro then but it's important to say this is not an issue for most of us who ta ke is not an issue for most of us who take small doses. there have been increasing numbers studies in the last few years which link heart problems to these non—steroidal anti—inflammatory drugs painkillers and this is another study adding that puzzle. there is a suggestion these drugs could affect the heart but there are so many questions still to be answered, that the most important thing is for people not to be alarmed an

host: larry in alabama. couple of florida callers put out the statue in gainesville -- pointed out the statue in gainesville. i think we have a look at the statue in front of the courthouse there. the statue is causing some interesting people in the area. dan honor independent line. caller: good morning. there was a democratic female caller a few moments ago said it right. don't move the statues, put someone who is -- who was of a steam and put up a statue against the confederacy. since president obama went to japan and apologize for our actions in the war, are we going the raising ofwn the flag on mount sarah bocce? carli lloyd you raise the euro zone and give it to japanese so they can have a war took -- are we going to raise the arizona and give it to the japanese so we can have -- they can have a war token? ont: a couple of comments twitter, people are doing an analogy to nazi germany. here's a tweet from carol who said robert e lee was no hitler's. from everything i have read, he was respected before an

he was posted in alabama and spent his days doing what any priest would do, visiting people in their homes, caring for the sick, and offering mass. he opened up a hospital and educated children in a parish school. but he early 1960's, it earned the trust of african-americans in selma. and when civil rights leaders came calling, he linked arms with them viewing their struggle as a natural extension to his service to the community. he offered his parish as a training place for volunteers. they spoke out against injustice and he called on christians from across the country to join the fight for civil rights. in doing so, he became a target for those resistant to change. he was hauled before a grand jury and accused of being a communist. he received menacing phone calls in the middle of the night and endured repeated threats against his life. none of that could keep him from answering his call to serve. he continued to care for the sick in their homes and in the hospital. he worked as a handyman and he used his position to call for quality. 1965 when civil rights leaders rallied, father

" a leader of consequence, it is never about you. graduates of thing michael's class of 2017, future leaders, a few of you will be -- few of you will be called upon to serve in a manner such as father willett, but many of you will lead in education or public service and i hope you remember the story of father willett. the greatest call is to serve those you lead. those who may be still with me are probably having a hard time id

alabama, it's interesting that the caller references alabama. jeff sessions during his time as a prosecutor in the state of alabama undertook a vote fraud commission effort that looks a pence-kobach commission that we're seeing now. the impact of session is effort to look for vote fraud in alabama resulted in a prosecution of six civil rights workers including the marion three and these were african-american who is are focused on registering poor black voters across rural parts of the state. he charged them with vote fraud and all of those vote fraud claims were ultimately dismissed by a jury. the most important aspect of this effort was the chilling effect that sessions' effort had on the black vote. there were elderly black voters who said they would never vote again after being entangled into jeff sessions's case into vote fraud. there were black voter who is were put on buss and forced to appear before grand jury and no prosecutions resulted from that effort. so i'm very concerned about this federal commission which could result in a similar

is this what's last best guidance on how to deal with a case like alabama and congressional districts one where you have a state that says why did we do it, the voting stt rights act. we wanted to draw a majority ana minority district. it is the courts last and best word on cases like this where the state says why did we do it, politics. we look at the benchmark that had congressional district won oveoneover here which was the mt minority district and what is preserved we know how to tell you when we are taking race into account we are not playing hide the ball. we did it with respect to cd one and when it comes to 12 we look at the map and that is a political joe. >> that is the question was trying to answer is that politics or race if it's politics it's fine if it's race is not so let's take a hypothetical not on this case but let's take a hypotheticallir which is a state really does decide to do race-based districting premises we want to segregate all the african-american voters, this is the way they want to do it but then they say we will justify it based on politics because thatb

and then you have alabama. >> the weird wild senate the election.ill tell us anything about the environment. >> absolutely. but i think that there are enough republican candidates there. a run-off state. if they force a run-off, and that democrat suddenly looks more competitive than any democrat ought to be in a statewide race in alabama, that i think may be the thing that really fillips. democrats only have nine targets in the senate. one of them being alabama of theon one state up, nevada, that hillary clinton carried. the next vulnerable one is jeff flake in arizona which trump carried by 4. the next is ted cruz in texas which trump carried by 9. the remaining six seats, trump carried by healthy double digits. so there aren't a lot of targets. so we start to see some bizarre things going on in places like alabama. then it gets interesting. >> the thing about special elections is there's something you can take from each of them to win the race. if john ossoff wins in georgia, they can say he raised all that money and every house candidate won't ra

we're getting our fill of alabama today. we appreciate that congressman.in this investigation as you see it? >> welsh at this point in time, we hand everything over to now investigator mueller, former fbi director, and we let him do what fbi agents do. they examine witnesses. they try to determine what the true facts are. at some point in time those true facts will be presented certainly per happens to a grand jury, if there's enough jury to justify takes to it the grand jury. if not i hope the fbi director will give the american people a report. there are three different issues here. one was the russian involvement in the election. two, was there any collusion between the trump campaign and russia? three, was the president of the united states, now president donald trump, involved in that collusion? in my judgment, i think the democrats have overshot. i don't think there's going to be anything that ties president trump to the russian activity. there were members of the trump campaign. we'll find that out. we need to get to the bottom of it and make a dete

lord brought me to cottonwood, alabama. president, we have had many presidents. i was four, some i was against, different ones. that is part of life. 2 lastwanted to say, the ones that was running for clinton and trump, i was not going to vote for either one of them, but i know it is my duty to vote. our church went to the altar and we all prayed. we did not pray for this one or that one. we prayed for god to lead us how to vote. , so i have been praying for donald trump and his family, for their safety, all the people in the white house and the government. i pray for them for their hard and soul. the bible says we are known by the fruit we bear. people see and people here. action, not just words. doray that donald trump will while he is president what a president should do, have love and compassion and his heart and do what is right for the people. we are all going to disagree about something. this one is against that one. i believe what god says. disciples follow god. or not donald trump is a christian, only god knows. i am just praying he will do the right thi

the gentleman from alabama. mr. byrne: the gentleman referred to an old playbook being used here. he's right. it is an old playbook that was used by house democrats in 1985 by president bill clinton during the 1990's. this is not a partisan playbook, this used to be actually a bipartisan idea to give workers flexibility in the use of their time. that doesn't sound radical to me. it's not radical at all. what's changed is that democrats used to be for this and now for other reason, they are not. they would rather lock workers in in these restrictive arrangements where you have working mothers who can't get the flexible time off ta they want because we don't allow them to do it under the fair labor standards act. comp. time is just not technically optional under this law, it is optional by law. it is a voluntary thing by law. there is no question about that. employers cannot coerce or intimidate an employee to do that under this law. it is strictly prohibited and there are serious legal repercussions for an employer t

and john lewis lived in, was born near troy, alabama, in 21 to sharery croppers. that john would do would be to listen to the radio at a very young age , and on that radio that he would listen to, he would be listening to the reverend martin luther king, who really influenced him. so, one day john had saved some money, maybe he'd sold some chickens and saved some money. got on a greyhound bus with a round-trip ticket to montgomery to see the reverend martin luther king to see if he could get him a scholarship to troy state in alabama. dr. king said, i can't get you into troy state but i can get you into the baptist seminary. in 1958, john lewis was a student at american baptist seminary in nashville, tennessee. i met him in 1959 while we were both being tutelaged by the reverend jim lawson in nonviolence. during that time, a year later, 1960, john was very important in making sure that we had a successful first sit-in in nashville on february 13. he was very instrumental in that. later on, he joined the freedom rides in 1961 with core when they left washington, d.

the burning of the bus in aniston, alabama and the beating of the people in birmingham.nts in nashville called james farmer, who was the director of core, the congress for racial equality, to ask him if we could have permission to restart the freedom ride. of course he said you saw what happened with the burning of the bus, you saw what happened in birmingham, you're going to get somebody killed. our attitude in nashville was, we cannot let violence overrule non-violence. if you give us your permission to restart the freedom rides, we will do that. john was very instrumental in restarting the freedom rides from nashville to birmingham, montgomery and on in to jackson, mississippi. later on, after that in 1963, he was the organizer and the march on washington. he was also one of the key speakers. one of the things that you may not know is that they asked john to tone his speech down, to not give the speech that he had written, so he had to tone his speech down because we as young people, we wanted to say what we wanted to say and not sugarcoat it. so as a result of him be
