rushanara ali.h bangladeshi mp elected to the uk parliament. when political leaders amplify tensions, when they fail to show courage and leadership and stand up in the face of division and hatred, then we send the wrong message. you made history when you became the first british bangladeshi mp. how did yourfamily take that decision? they were quite nervous, if i'm honest, because nobody had done it before. they could see that it was not going to be an easyjourney. and they were right, of course. when i won the election, what was really obvious was that it had a huge significance to the british bangladeshi community, particularly my mum and dads generation. they often would say, "now we feel like we belong because we have somebody who's, you know, one of our daughters in the mother of parliaments," and they would talk like that. week in, week out, my constituents have been mourning the loss of loved ones. british bangladeshis are twice as likely to die from covid—19 than the white british population.

aly, if i may, we're out of time.rusive question — but it's a personal question, given everything you've said today and all of your personal experience, if... it's hypothetical, but if you are to have a child one day who exhibits great athletic talent as a very young child, would you want them to go into elite sport the way you did when you were very young? you know, ithink that itjust depends. i also want to mention i do love gymnastics so much, and i know a lot of this interview was very negative towards parts of the sport. but i do want to mention i love gymnastics so much and i have so many incredible memories even from the olympics and competing. i have incredible team—mates and friendships that i made over the years, so i... i want to have kids one day, but it's not anywhere near in the immediate future, so i'm not sure. i'm hoping by the time i have kids that things are continuing to move in the right direction as a whole for mental health and the conversations, and that there will have been a full independent

i'm ali velshi. the senate is working through the weekend and getting closer to passing president biden's $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package. today the chamber will reconvene at noon to continue working on it and final passage of the bill could come this week. last night the deal cleared a major procedural hurdle after 18 republicans joined with democrats and voted to end debate on the bill and move it forward. but if negotiations seemed to be on the fast track to completion, a lone republican is proving to be something of a speed bump. that would be tennessee senator bill hagerty, a republican, despite 18 of his republican colleagues voting to advance the deal, he will continue to try to slow walk it. seems because he wants to. on the senate floor last night hagerty said no need to speed up consideration of this package. the country's deteriorating roads, bridges and pipes on the other hand might beg to differ with him. one good reason to get it done and that's the senate's scheduled rece

>> two things, ali. i'm glad you're following the details of the judiciary committee you're referring to that has come forward with shocking details about rosen and clark and others in the department of justice as former president trump tried to bully his way into an election he did not win. we are going to take up and vote on a voting rights bill before we leave. something that will show that all of us, all 50 democrats are committed to the idea we have to move forward on voting rights. but ali, this is something that used to be bipartisan. the last time the voting rights act was reauthorized, it had an overwhelming bipartisan vote. it is just in the last decade that the idea of voter i.d. and wide spread fake voting or false voting has taken over the republican view and democrats seem to be the ones, the only ones here committed to access to the ballot box. as i've said before, i'm someone who will work hard across the aisle. i'm asking republicans to reconsider and to see if they can find it in themse

and now, here are ryan seacrest and ali wentworth! thank you, déjà vu. good morning, ali. you with us. it's wednesday, august 11th. filling in today for kelly is ali wentworth. thank you. thank you. we've got maria loi, 'cause i know that you and your husband go to greece all the time. she's gonna prepare some greek food. i had a birthday party and we did it at her restaurant. at lloyd's? we had one long table. it was so delicious.

and now, here are ryan seacrest and ali wentworth! the famous ali wentworth! hi! -hi, hi. to kiss? -nope. -we get in trouble for it every time. -oh, gosh, sorry. -edit the kiss out. -yeah, get rid of that. uh, monday, august 9th. filling in for kelly today is ali wentworth. ewhe-or as my mother calls you, "a real pistol."

ali, a very difficult existence for afghan refugees that come to iran. forced to do menial jobs and often very dangerous jobs and they don't get paid very well and they don't g have benefits d their children can't go to school but still a lot better an option than remaining in afghanistan. >> ali, you can't see what i got here. you don't need to see it. it is a map of afghanistan and we are talking about the other countries speaking to the taliban. a little pieceea of afghanistan over here that borders china. about a 70-mile border. above afghanistan are the and down here at the bottom south is pakistan and over here on the west is where you are, ali arouzi, iran. it's a muslim theocracy run by shia and they believe they are sunni muslims. what is iran's take on this? what are they thinking on this? they share a big border with what will be the taliban government. the only two theocracies as serious as they are when they form a government. what is they perspective from iran? >> well, ali, the two sides are idelogically opposed to each other. one is shia

we've got calls, ali, to come to west virginia, like we did in texas. this is the 100th year anniversary of the blair mountain fight when black and white coal miners fought together. we're headed to west virginia now. we cannot turn back on this now. this is too serious. it's time for the president to meet with the multi-racial group of clergy, poor and low-wealth people, economists, voting rights lawyers. go to the will of the congress. reset this whole argument. it's about the constitution, about our morality. he said to the poor people's campaign he wanted to do it, but some of his staff don't seem to get it. some of them think you can litigate out of this and mobilize. that's not how we're going to win. we have to have federal protection against this political insurrection going on in state capitals. >> when merkley comes up with this bill and manchin agrees he's going to support it and he goes to see if they can get any republicans. who knows if any senate republicans will join in. the new bill, the bill you are referring to as possibly watered dow

ali: we kind of see this is going public.allocating big blocks to the investors that are going to invest in us for many years to come. in january, we raised a billion dollars. that is reshaping our cap table. in this round, we are super excited to have the round be led by morgan stanley. kind of like a small ipo at the time. we will be public at some point. this is something that is really advantageous to us to do in this way. emily: you were last on the show to talk about that billion dollars you raised. at what point will you not be able to do this privately? what could you do as a public company that you were not able to do privately and vice versa? ali: the main reason to go public is to provide liquidity. for that reason, we will at some point ipo. it is nice to be able to spread out the allocation of capital through the company. emily: when you are saying you are doing this to supercharge innovation, what does that mean? ali: we announced we are going to open up sites in germany for r and d. we already have our amsterda

and now here are ryan seacrest and ali wentworth. -hey, ali wentworth. -hi, ryan seacrest. what i just thought of? 'cause george always gets up at 2:30 and goes to work? yeah? um, you're like the only man i've seen in the morning in so long! and you keep coming back for more. i know, and you don't take all the covers, i love it.

i'm going to throw this one to ali and i'll come back to the other 2 of you gentlemen. in a 2nd, how significant do you think that is correct and i'm going to show in, in a moment, but i know you wanted to come in here as well. would you expect higher level engagement going for an interest you unfortunately, the discussion here shows the situation and who do not listen. you can see that my colleague didn't even have a chance to mr. better to continue with idea. and when you try to stop them, he didn't to accept your interference because he wants everybody to listen to him. and this is the problem. that's why i'm not listening to each other and we are stuck with the blaming gauge either. we don't look to the future. we don't think of our people politicians in this region do not really think of the most important to values for the people most important interest of the people they think of how they maintain their power, how they expand, been power and this region. and unfortunately, iraqis has always been the victims of this policies and the region, but i'm going to let yo

>> i think, ali, we have to recognize it's incredibly difficult. the example i give is when we were in the white house, there were polls time and again that showed that a majority of republicans believed the birther conspiracy theory, the racist birther conspiracy theory that barack obama was not born in the united states, far too much. the mainstream political media kind of treated that as a comical aberration. no, they really believed that. that's how donald trump became the nominee and how he ultimately became president. there have to be policy responses to these things over time. for instance, again, how does something that as ben rightly said was once in the supermarket tabloids, how is that reaching 30 to 40% of americans? it's because social media algorithms are written to prioritize sensationalist material that triggers people, triggers their emotions. that's going to have to be a conversation about regulation of how those algorithms are written so you're not main lining conspiracies and disinformation to people. we've been talking about th

ali, i have a favor. to go far while i'm on the air, i have a feeling we may want to bring you on talk afghanistan if we have time to do that monitoring the situation as the fight is at kabul's door. >> i will stay close. i will stay close with my maps. terrina burke is one of the people i never talk to her about anything that's good. yet she makes us so much smarter and so much more sensitive to the things that have gone on. she is truly one of my favorite people. one day i would like to talk to her about something that's just positive, like, you know, pink cloud to pink cloud stuff. that's not where we are these days. but she is fantastic and i look forward to seeing her tiffany cross the host of msnbc cross-connection. join her at the top of the hours. >>> as she said we are following breaking news. we have breaking news out of haiti. a 7.2 magnitude earthquake had the western region of the country. officials are saying they do not expect a tsunami to follow. however the u.s. geological survey issued a

thank you, ali. that's ali velshi from new orleans. let's continue to miguel almaguer in baton rouge, louisiana, which is expecting more of the storm, and the parish that baton rouge is partly in, east baton rouge parish, issued a curfew. that's the most populous parish in louisiana. orleans parish where ali is is the third most populous. what more can you tell us about how the city is preparing for the worst of the storm? >> yeah, joshua. curfew is under way for the general public. media is allowed to broadcast outside and keep people abreast of the situation here. i can tell you, the situation is deteriorating over the last couple hours. the winds here began to pick up as we started to hit the front bands of the hurricane. as bill karins alluded to earlier today, and as the mayor of the city told us just a couple hours ago, they expected baton rouge to be in the direct path of this hurricane. now, whether that materializes will still be yet to be seen over the next couple hours, we're expecting the situation here to continue to deter

with ali velshi weathering the storm., hurricane ida is a category 2 storm, but a powerful one at that. let's begin with ali in new orleans, where the power has been out for some time, and it looks like it's going to be out for a while. >> reporter: yeah, joshua, we're in the 11th hour since landfall of this storm, and it's still whipping up. you can see this water behind me in new orleans, which wasn't sort of inside of the center of this hurricane to start with. so it's a very, very powerful storm, and it's mostly hitting new orleans on the backside of this thing. we saw it pop up in wind about 2, 2 1/2 hours ago, to pretty intense. it started to let off for a little while, and we're still getting big gusts and bands. what ended up happening about a couple of hours ago is we lost power. we lost it in the local area here downtown. i thought it might have been central to this block or building. we learned there was a much bigger problem. it was what they call a catastrophic problem in energy, the power transmission and ge

thank you, ali.our country with low vaccination coverage, our communities are seeing an unprecedented rise of new covid-19 cases. and unlike previous surges where the hospitals were working at full capacity, in this surge -- 24% of all of our covid cases in the county are in children. we have over 1,000 active covid-19 cases in those who are less than 17 years of age. the situation is -- for our children. all these cases are leading to hospitalization, intensive care unit, complications due to covid, including death as it was reported for two kids in our county last week. >> two kids in your county died of this, and so representative lamar, those kids don't have a choice in this matter. >> absolutely. and it's very open that i lost a child before at birth. so when i think about how legislators -- it makes me think about the pain that i know another parent experienced that i have personally experienced. so i take it extra personal that we've already seen kids in my community dying of the disease, and

. >> ali, the u.s. embassy issued a statement a short time ago, saying the security situation in kabul is changing very quickly. that includes at the airport. >> the americans there had hoped to get about 72 hours to ferry all of the americans and their personnel out of afghanistan. if those reports are verified that now gunfire is being opened up on the airport. that means the situation is rapidly deteriorated. >> and it's a bad sign when the state of the country leaves, the armed forces loyal to that person usually fall apart pretty quickly. they started falling apart before he left. now that he's gone, they'll probably be absolutely no resistance to the taliban taking over kabul and having full control of afghanistan and probably less than 72 hours. as we know, the afghan forces there just don't have the will to fight the taliban. the taliban are much more disciplined, they're willing to fight to the death. that's not something we have seen from the afghan troops there. so it's a very, very chaotic s

for the pbs newshour, i'm ali rogin. congress is on recess, but a small group of lawmakers are still in talks on police reform. and word came today that negotiators are no longer tackling a major issue. lisa desjardins explains. lisa: it's called qualified immunity, a legal principle which can protect officers from lawsuits when they harm people while on the job. police reform advocates have long wanted it to end while others think it's an important protection for law enforcement. and dropping it from police reform talks makes it easier for conservatives, but possibly harder for progressives to get on board. to help us understand the different sides of the debate, i'm joined by joanna schwartz, professor of law at ucla and a leading expert on police misconduct litigation. and lenny kesten, a lawyer in boston who has represented hundreds of police officers in civil rights cases. to both of you, qualified immunity for police has been a major flashpoint in this discussion, but you both agree it is not granted by courts that

now it is time for "the last word" where ali velshi is in for lawrence tonight. good evening and thank you for filling in so ably while i was away. >> it was great and as i always say your team gets a show that is not hosted by you as close as possible to a show hosted by you. when i was listening earlier i googled how many knots could there be for catching striped bass? quite surprised. >> yes. >> the improved clinch knot seems to get the most googles. i was a bit surprised. >> yeah. i could go on. trust me. >> yes, no doubt. in your seat one week ago tonight i interviewed lieutenant colonel alexander vindman and it was a remarkable interview about the moment in which he realized donald trump had done something illegal and that can't stand and he will do something about that. and maybe bj pak went through something like that and maybe jeff rosen went through something like that where he said this can't stand. i am most worried that our democracy cannot rely on the fact that people will make good judgments. i'm really glad some people did and alexander vindman di

ali, thank you. we'll check back with you in a moment. >> describing the situation as desperate and hopeless. >>> we want to bring in chief correspondent of foreign affairs andrea mitchell on the phone. andrea, you have reporting that the u.s. embassy in kabul will be closing once all personnel are transferred out of there. what can you tell us about your reporting this morning? >> reporter: well, this is obviously a huge change, but there are negotiations underway with the taliban. we understand the taliban and their representatives are negotiating for a transition of government, and that the u.s. embassy now instead of remaining open has always been the commitment, will be closing. it is expected to take about 72 hours because of the need to get people the four miles to the airport and out. so this is going to be -- secretary blinken is going to be on "meet the press" this morning. he's doing a number of announcements. more details will come from the secretary of state. but this is the most dramati

sam broc and ali velshi, thank you. and michelle, ida made land as a category 4 storm with 160-mile-an-hour winds and since turned into a tropical storm, and where is this storm headed now? >> it is now in mississippi, and hi, there, geoff, and this is going to be five days worth of ida. so we will talk about this until friday. it exploded into a category 4 storm, and almost a high strung one, and almost category 5, but now in mississippi, and we will see a big wind event now, and it is all about the flooding rains. let's talk about the history of ida, and the name is going to be retired and not in terms of renaming it, but in terms of the history. so it is the fifth strongest landfalling, landfall on the continental u.s. tied with laura about this time last year. and it went through the rapid intensification of 65-mile-per-hour in 24 hours, and that is a lot. to have that classification, it has to have 35. so geoff, that is where you will see the darker colors which is the rain, and heavy rain in mississippi and alabam

ali is joining us by phone right now. ali just made it to new orleans. welcome, my friend.ored to be sitting in for you, but tell me where you are specifically and what you're doing and what it's like where you are. oh, goodness. do we not have the phone hook up for ali? okay. we're going to hook that up. he may be, you know, with storms. there's always difficulty with the cell service certainly. we're going to go back to ali in just a moment. let's talk about hurricane ida barreling towards the gulf coast and making landfall in just hours from now. you have the residents of plaquemanes parish. joining me now is the president kirk lepine. let's talk about where things stand with your residents and how many have heeded warnings to evacuate. were those mandatory warnings and are people complying? >> good morning and thank you for having me. yes, we have issued, if you notice our parish is 65 miles long from the top and to the foot and venice, louisiana, that goes right into the gulf. if you look at louisiana at the boot, we're at the end of the boot. we are out there in no ma

. >> good evening, ali. pharmaceutical companies need to be stop leading on messaging on this topic. moderna's doing it, pfizer. it's a habit they can't quit. they need to stop doing this. the message that i hear from young people, doc, now i need three doses to be protected? it's confusing people and they need to stop. what is clear, and what i suspect the fda is going to release, i'm glad they are doing it -- that if you are immunocompromised, if you have cancer, chemotherapy, it's a long list, 4% of america has that condition, you will be eligible for a third shot before the end of the year. over 65 will likely be in that group as well. for the rest of us, there is no indication you need a booster shot. let me repeat that, for the rest of us, those that are healthy, there was less than 65, if you need a -- you do not likely need a booster shot in this calendar year. frankly, you may not need one in 2022. that is what the data tells us today. they need to stop this messaging and effort to experts. >> it is

ali velshi, good to see you. sam brock, thank you as well. i want to take a closer look in new orleans. joined now by a city councilman who represents the western edge of the city. joseph, thank you for joining us. what more can you tell us, councilman, about the situation in your district right now? >> ali hit the highlights. the numbers have gone up since this morning. we heard about 850,000 people in southeast louisiana without power. you all just reported it's over 1 million. that's a quarter of all of louisianans now who don't have power. that picture actually we just took, i think, on twitter that you show right now of the gas station in my district where it fell over on one of the pumps, i would say having toured the district top to bottom before we came to do this, by in large limbs being down, power lines being down, trees being down are the biggest issue we saw immediately but, of course, being without power for such a long time is going to be a tremendous issue for all new orleanians. >> let's talk about how, in fact, the city plan

we have ali ambry, he's a political analyst, and a civil activist in kuwait city, about an hour safe, an assistant professor wait university and also a non resident fellow at the carnegie middle east center. and in tariff side, my stuff for session and iran affairs analyst and a public diplomacy strategist. thank you for joining us gentlemen, and a warm welcome to you all. now i do think it's rather striking that a country that has itself been a battle ground for so many interest is now proposing that it be an arena for conflict resolution. i understand rocky prime minister, the stuff to me has been facilitating what 3 rounds now of talks between iran and saudi arabia since march, april this year. but let me start with you. how much is this process being driven by how to me himself? and let me 1st start by expressing the, the interest and the support and excitement of citizens across the gulf region about this happening. there has been a lot of doubt as to why i number one. this is taking place now. and number 2, why is about the saying the stroke? and i think neither should be surpri

devote governor cuomo is a man on an island now, ali. when these allegations first emerged earlier this, year there were a number of democrats, influential ones in new york state, who called for him to resign. we heard them from senator schumer, senator majority and also new yorker, who asked that he should resign. but it wasn't unanimous. some of the really big power players there, some of the unions he has supported for a long, time they still had his back and give him hope that he can survive this. and in recent months, it seemed like there was a shot that he could've. his poll numbers have crept back up, he really dealt at a lot of constituents services, he was -- he worked with african american communities, and church, leaders and it seems like he might be able to stabilize himself. and perhaps, rumor, had even run for another term next year. his fourth. term but in the wake of the attorney general's investigation, there is no support left. a lot of those groups and new york have abandoned him and of course the death blow may have b

but i have to have an honest moment with you, ali. type of stuff. i understand the history of democracy and i understand political philosophy. but the reality is that republicans are dismantling democracy as a response to us becoming a multiracial country where people are educated, black and brown people are educated and standing up and have societal power, have economic power and in response to that, we are seeing the dismantling, systemic dismantling of democracy. i can't talk about this in terms of political philosophy without recognizing that we're moving to a majority nonwhite nation and this is the response to that. >> how do you fix this in the republican party? how do you go from a party that liked small government and things that can be argued into this? if you look at that poll we were talking about, 60% say it would be bad for the country if trump ran in 2024. 32% said it would be good. 73% of republicans say it would be good if trump ran again. >> well, i think there's some hope in that. i'm a prisoner of hope, as cory boo

we're going to go to ali arouzi in tehran. a lot of people have been fleeing afghanistan to go into iran's borders. what are you learning about what's happening? >> reporter: that's right. there's been an exodus of afghans trying to flee afghanistan after those very upsetting images you see of the taliban entering kabul and pretty much the rest of the country. now, the iranians have set up three refugee camps in three places along the poorest border they share with afghanistan, and already, people are pouring in there, leaving what little they had behind in afghanistan, just to try to come into iran for a safe haven. as we discussed before, life for afghans in iran is very difficult. they have to do menial jobs. they don't have any benefits. they don't have any insurance. you see young kids as young as 13 or 14 years old working on construction sites. but it's better than the option facing them in afghanistan, which is now pretty much in hands of the taliban. so we're going to see, i think, a huge influx of refugees coming her

can you hear us, ali velshi? experience doing this, and we are constantly evaluating the safety. when i was talking to you earlier suddenly things got very windy around where we were to the point where we wanted to reposition, and we are still on canal street just to give you perspective. the harrah's casino is over there and was behind me, so i just moved about a block over, so this is downtown louisiana, the french quarter is behind me, and i heard you talking about the power company, and for the purpose of high voltage when there's a load imbalance it's the equivalent of a fuse or breaker going on, and the system shuts down transmission so you don't end up with problems, and that's what has happened. now, this is complicated on a lot of levels in part because we have been reporting for weeks about the number of people hospitalized in this state with covid. it has relatively low vaccination rates and relatively high rates of hospitalization, and most hospitals, we hope, have enough backup generation capability,

ali latifi, let's begin with you.describe the state of the capital which has fallen without the taliban firing -- well, it is unknown but hardly a bullet. >> right now it is pretty calm and quiet. just down the streets are starting to pick up. a few more people are going out. a few more stores and restaurants and the like are starting to open back up. it is slowly going back to normal. as you said, right now things are -- not a bullet has been fired. it is pretty calm. it is the exact opposite of the airport. the airport is chaotic and just looks li a scene out of a movie where as the city of kabul itself is calm and quiet and just people going about their business stop -- business. taliban posing with pictures with people. talking to people. you know, not anything like people were fearing yet. it seems in some ways similar to the stories of 1996, the first few days. but the other difference is slowly like women are coming out, most are dressing with long scarves and loosefitting clothing. some are wearing what the we

our correspondent are on the ground in the afghan capital and speaking to ali musarri of the nationalesistance front of afghanistan in this bulletin. this is live from paris. ♪ thank you very much for being with us. the taliban is excusing -- is refusing to extend the deadline for evacuations at kabul airport after the u.s. entered toxin on issue and france requested the deadline -- entered talks on the issue and france and requested the deadline be extended. a soldier was apparently shot in the arm. people are being herded in dire condition and delavan have seen striking people with -- and the taliban have been seen strong people with sticks and whips. an insight into life there now. >> there's something of a rhythm now in central kabul. we were driving around the city earlier on, and it's just very striking that taliban fighters are omnipresent, on patrol in vehicles throughout the city, heavily armed men are watching over everything that is going on. they surround the airport, just outside, as you leave, you get through a no man's between the u.s. troops are stationary go past barb

joining me now, ali arouzi nbc correspondent. ali, thank you for being here. to start things off, could you tellrt us the reaction in teher to what's happening on their border? >> reporter: well, it's a mixed bag, jonathan, from teheran. traditionally iran is ideologically opposed to the taliban. they are suni, the iranians are shi'a and they never read off the same hymn sheet. as history has always told us, your enemy's enemy is your friend, and they are an enemy of the united states and iran is welcoming a large swath of u.s. troops disappearing from their border. and we've also seen extraordinary scenes, jonathan, of afghan military personnel pouring acrossta the border int iran in advance vehicles with advanced equipment. no doubt provided to them by the united states which the iranian defense ministry will be very happy to get their hands on. that's the military side of it. the humanitarian side of it is that the iranians have opened up three border crossings on this very porous border between afghanistan and iran. they're housing refugees there in tempor

ali baba have plummeted in oriental is down 90%, what is going on?ten a painful reminder of who is in control of china and the risks of the communist country. were seeing beijing trying control as she is expected to bid for a third term. authorities have taken heavy-handed the past and the scale of this has been really jarring and the severity of the moves we sold beijing tutoring industry did nonprofit and they crackdown on tencent and ali baba are raising questions about the profitability and growth in a new journal reported regulator on u.s. ipos accompany with sensitive user data. that is a major issue for china especially if u.s. china tensions are escalating. it's possible that that creates risks for chinese companies listed here as well. beijing is doing outlying 60s a week schedule that was used by many tech companies and strongly encouraging to give back more to society as a large shift that emphasizes common prosperity and it could mean social good over profit which makes investors wary. jack: i've long advocated international diversificati

but unfortunately, in 2019, one of my interviews with the former president, asif ali zardari, that wason my tv channel and then some other opposition leaders, they were also banned on different tv channels. so we started criticising imran khan. and i think that he was not happy with my criticism. now, the second part of your question is very important. i think that imran khan is not directly responsible for imposing a ban on me. and i don't think that he wants me to be off air. but, like the past prime ministers, he is not a very powerful prime minister. and i think he's helpless and he cannot help me. well, this gets to the root of pakistan's perennial question. who really is calling the shots? who really controls the country today? there are voices who say imran khan is essentially, bluntly, a puppet and that the real power in pakistan is being exercised by the security agencies. is that your view? pakistan is viewed as a security state, and if you go through the autobiography of imran khan, which i was reading last night, again. and imran khan gifted me his autobiography with his au

that's why we want a genuine democracy in pakistan, because the founder of pakistan, muhammad ali jinnahlower. and i think that all those people who are trying to snatch media freedom from us are enemies of pakistan, are enemies of muhammad ali jinnah. hamid mir, we must end there. but i thank you very much indeed forjoining me on hardtalk. thank you. well, many of us have had to endure days of torrential showers, the grass is sodden. what has happened to august, we wonder? i've got some good news — tuesday is looking sunnier and warmer than of late across most of the uk, not absolutely everywhere. we still have a few showers in the forecast in the short term. here's the unsettled weather recently. you can see the clouds spiralling across the uk, but we've got a gap in the weather. it's called a ridge of high pressure. there's a low which is heading our way, as well, but this ridge is going to settle things down on tuesday. so, what's tuesday, 6am in the morning looking like? a lot of fine, bright, if not already sunny weather across the uk. 13 celsius in london, 10 celsius in glasgow, j
