and to bring it more up to date, a giant of contemporary us politics, barack 0bama, whose presidency,, we're all so familiar with, are you suggesting that there were ways in which 0bama was a racist in his approach to race issues, and his messages to black people in america? so i think one of his most brilliant speeches was the race speech he gave in philadelphia during his campaign in 2008. known as "the race speech." the race speech. i think we should very critically and closely read that speech, yet again. it was a brilliant speech, and in many ways he spoke about the racial discrimination, or as i say, the racist policies that were prevailing in america. but at times he talked about this idea that there was something that black people were not doing. and to give an example, he would speak about black people in a way, being defeatist. in other words, because of these generations of discrimination, some black people had stopped trying. and that was the reason why some of these disparities existed. and so i'm going to critique that. he also, at a time, said that there were some truth

michelle 0bama and barack 0bama went to see this film on theirfirst date.ed their political sensibilities and their colour and got all the way to the white house and this film literally did change the world. it's by spike lee and of course it is set over one boiling hot night in new york in front of sal's pizzeria where mookey the delivery boy, played by spike lee, gets involved and it boils up to a race riot which is the main thing but really it is about the visuals of spike lee. but it's beautiful to look at as well, it evokes — and i watched it recently because we had our own heatwave here — and you can feel the heat of brooklyn almost coming off off the screen and the fabulous bright colours. it is terrific. the dialogue and the soundtrack is amazing. fight the power by public enemy, an all—time hip—hop track which is a powerful start, and rosie perez dancing to it. one of my favourite films of all time and one of the best films ever made, and spike lee is still doing this, if you watch netflix, he has two seasons of she's gotta have it on there which i

i remember when people said barack 0bama could not get elected.mber when people said donald trump couldn't get elected, but here's where we are! i get it, there is a lot at stake and people are scared, but we can't choose a candidate we don't believe injust because we're too scared to do anything else, and we can't ask other people to vote for a candidate we don't believe in. democrats win when we figure out what is right and we get out there and fight for it. i am not afraid, and for democrats to win, you can't be afraid either. strong words there from elizabeth warren, but barbara, as you mentioned, the second round kicks off today, everyone will be watching front runnerjoe biden. of course, that very explosive exchange he had last month with kamala harris? that's right. joe biden is the frontrunner, and it's an important debate for him. you know, he was this safe pair of hands that rose to the top of the pile because people did see him as electable. many thought he had shaky moments in the previous debate when he was attacked by candidate kamal

you say it's pure spite, in a sense, to undo the work done by barack 0bama.oint to the coherent set of reasons that trump and his advisers would suggest that iran is an unreconstructed threat to us and other western powers‘ interests around the world today. the point about iran is it is a very divided government, an elected government, relatively reformist. rouhani and zarif don't have absolute power, but a huge amount of influence. they are a front. the real power sits with the ayatollah, and the security apparatus goes through him. that is the error that the american right wing made, saying they're simply mouthpieces at the front. they are not. this is a very divided governmental system. the supreme leader and the revolutionary guards control the apparatus of the state. but khamenei had to accept the nuclear deal, under pressure from rouhani and other sensible people in the system, who wanted iran to have an economic future. the irony of trump's position is that the one group who are cheering his position are indeed the hardliners in the revolutionary guard

to fact of the matter is, i think the president of the united states barack 0bama went out of his wayf different times to show that he knew the party had changed and he could change with it. but a key part of his defence was indeed the judgment of the man who had made him vice president. here's the deal, the fact is that we're talking about things that occurred a long, long time ago. and now, all of a sudden — i find it fascinating — everybody's talking about how terrible i am on these issues. barack 0bama knew exactly who i was, he had ten lawyers do a background check on everything about me, on civil rights and civil liberties, and he chose me and said it was the best decision he made, i'll take his judgment. joe biden came into this debate knowing he would be a target. he did stumble a bit from time to time, but by and large, he capably defended his record. it wasn't a standout performance, but probably enough to reassure his supporters. the number of male students engaging with university counselling and well—being services is less than half that of female students. figures from a

perhaps the most significant intervention has come from barack 0bama.'t mention donald trump by name but let mention donald trump by name but let me read you a clip of it, we should soundly reject language coming out of the mouths of any of our leaders that feed a climate of fear and hatred, or normalises racist sentiments. it's pretty clear who he's talking about. jon sopel in washington. just last month, the head of the fbi in the united states said the majority of domestic terrorism arrests since october were linked to white supremacy. with a closer look now at the rise in far—right violence, and what can be done to tackle it, here's our security correspondent gordon corera. even before el paso, the warning signs were there. a shooter targeting a synagogue in california in april still be a member of the coastguard who'd stop filed an arsenal of weapons for an attack. 11 killed at a synagogue in pittsburgh. and the statistics back that up. here you can see the rising number of what are called far—right extremist incidents in the us in the last 15 year

barack 0bama. yes, say it twice and she presses the right button!has gone very there is something that has gone very wrong there is something that has gone very wrong with what i am supposed to be saying. apparently marie curie was the first woman to win the nobel prize. i am was the first woman to win the nobel prize. iam imagining was the first woman to win the nobel prize. i am imagining she was left handed? and good at solving problems. and to show that no one is left behind on afternoon live we are now joined by keith milsom from the online store anything left handed. are you left—handed, keith? a lot of course i am. you say that, but one of the founders of the first left—handed business were not, where they? that's right, in soho, they we re they? that's right, in soho, they were right—handed, but he had a lot of left—handed family and friends who couldn't get hold of the basic everyday things they wanted to use in left—handed versions. everyday things they wanted to use in left-handed versions. how difficult is modern life, though, now we are

bush and barack 0bama administration, you could argue its capacity to apprehend and deport migrants hass was different slightly. for exam, in terms of ransom they were much more targeted and you could argue that donald trump has admitted that. for example, in rays, they set out to find people and somebody slipped up in that rate during the time, somebody who may have been there who then checked documentation and found they also did not have the documents, the argument then was they are not somebody to be concerned about at this stage. the focus in the 0bama administration was on felons, not families as they said. president trump's tweets have a that complete. he says he wants to deport the millions who are here illegally, no matter whether they have committed another crime. as far as these concern, they have admitted to crime byjust being here. thank you very much for coming in. these rates being happening while the hispanic unity being targeted in texas. this is beyond 100 days. still to come, big money is spent on football's transfer deadline day. we'll be finding out who's gone where

do that the other way round in a way which perhaps some would say, environmentalists would say, barack 0bamao look at methane emissions, which will be much more difficult to overturn by a future administration. thank you. later today president trump will take one step closer to forming his space force. that new force would require congressional approval so first he is launching a space command which draws resources from other armed services and establishes clearer reporting to the pentagon. the administration says it‘s necessary to combat emerging threats from china and russia. for more we are joined from berlin by frank rose, who formerly served as deputy assistant secretary of state for space and is now at the brookings institution. thank you forjoining us. the government has a point, the chinese and russians have already expressed and russians have already expressed an interest in this on an ongoing basis. last month, the french also expressed an interest in this. it is right, isn‘t it, that the us should keep up? absolutely. thanks for having me. bottom line is russia and china have been
