saint benedict closed in 1917 to -- 1972. everybody in the monastery was white, that is not the case now. students inber of the school increase the standards were dropping. it created a huge problem in our monastery. we wound up closing it. 14 people from the monastery left and they went to martin county. we were left trying to decide what to do and we decided that we would try to do a educational venture. it was never our intention to reopen the school. we created this venture that was a new logo and we were trying to play off of saint benedict. it was not going to be the old school. one man said i want to ask you how come it was written as saint benedict prep, now it is no longer that? there was no reasonable answer. the next morning it was reopened. not by me or by anybody but by carl. the african-american community after the rebellion reopened saint benedict prep. they say yougroups have to shut up and listen. up and find out accompany people through life. that is what we are trained to do with teenagers. lose their life

we go to our correspondent in london, good afternoon, benedict. what has the reaction in like to the clock which is now gone silent? >> it in word, huge red in another word, huge controversy. this announcement was made about 10 days ago, and even though august is usually cold here in the british capital, the silly season, where silly stories come up, this story has just run and run and continues to run. chimes,just heard the or as we always called them here, the bongs of big ben will now be sellers until 2021. the controversy is why it'll take four years to disconnect the clock, make major repairs to it and also, to the tower. but of course, the tower is connected to probably meant, and some are heavily criticizing it, saying that it is far too long for it to be silent. and that it is the heart of the nation's heartbeat, if you will, and this is a way of balancing the british heart. others say that everybody really needs to, down, and stop is controversy. alls he said, this is after a clock, so why this reaction? >> well, what is being said is, on

with me are benedicte paviot of france 2a and the journalist and broadcaster, penny smith.delayed because of the athletics so straight into it. let's start with the mail on sunday and the headline, teresa lu's mea culpa. she will apologise in october for losing a conservative majority. well, that is not an earth shatteringly big surprise. it will be in manchester, the conference on october one. we at august 13 if a week is a long team in politics, goodness knows what will happen by then. when the mail puts grovelling apology, i do not think it will be grovelling. what theresa mabel want to do this week and at the conference is to regain control because i have come back from the south of france and monitoring the british media and the french media and there hasn't been a single day weather hasn't been a brexit story. i know she was in charge and nobody else was and she was on a walking holiday in italy but the fact is it does not look good either domestically or internationally to have this kind of constant day by day trip trip drip dissension. what we have got on page two o

thank you benedicte and penny coming up next it's the film review. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's interesting cinema releases is james king. welcome. what have you been watching? i've been watching charlize theron in a spy thriller that's 007 meets basic instinct. the name's blonde, atomic blonde. from the academy awards to the afterlife, oscar winner casey affleck returns under a sheet in a ghost story. and get ready to tap, clap and stomp your way through an uplifting new dance documentary, step. quite an eclectic mix this week, james. let's start with the big blockbuster. it looks like one. yes, atomic blonde, so charlize theron stars in this. it's a spy thriller directed by a guy called david leitch. previously he's worked on a movie called john wick with keanu reeves, that was a big hit a couple of years back. there are similarities, they are both very stylish. style over content, really. very violent, very polished, very cartoonish. but atomic blonde has some basis in real events because it is s

he's an interesting and serious person and his model is the founder of the saint benedict monasteries. >> as someone married in the catholic church, a marriage that was arranged with the help as she helped us get authorized was gracious enough to do that i'm really glad catholics haven't fooled themselves off. they wouldn't be my children at least they wouldn't exist, so i couldn't disagree more strongly with that statement and the reason is there are very few things that are un-american but that is un-american where we understand america to be a nation that celebrates the capacity of people with different foundational commitments to live together with something approaching love. i have a different doctrine. >> let me open this up to the audience for questions. we have people with microphones to go around and i would like to ask you to identify yourself in organizational affiliation which silo you come from. >> i am a big fan of yours and political liberal but a lot of times fights in the cultural wars but i'm working on a book right now and interested in polarizations. did you see th

tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30pm this evening in the papers — our guestsjoining me tonight are benedictet and broadcaster, penny smith. a man's been arrested on suspicion of murdering a mother and daughter at a house in north london. the women, aged 66 and 33, were stabbed at a property in golders green last night. a 27—year—old man is in police custody. detectives investigating the death of an 83—year—old dog walker who was stabbed to death in woodlands in norfolk have made an arrest. the body of peter wrighton was found near east harling in norfolk. a post—mortem examination showed he'd been repeatedly stabbed in his neck and head. norfolk police have arrested a local man, in his 20s, on suspicion of murder — he remains in custody while their inquiries continue. in kenya, the acting interior minister says the police will stop at nothing to protect life and property following the results of the presidential election, which returned the incumbent, uhuru kenyatta, to power. the opposition claims that more than 100 people have been killed, though it's provided little evidence to substantia

but the previous pope benedict was my favorite deeply deeply religious intelligent theologian. beyond my understanding in many ways. spiritual and kind but this pope was to be the new john paul the second is he seems to run his mouth and they way -- and also badly managed and that the of by is. you're the head of the pope's communication you say it is okay to be going against trump in the vatican?. >> i know you give a thumbs-up to trump but this is the last question that you and you're both in deserters so kiev they succeed as president? so what you see for the future of donald trump? civic you have a structural problem in this country. with the exception of the president. solyndra there is a constitutional monarchy. see you vote for the ceo but in france the elected president and prime minister and there isn't any point. with those acts american presidents. are the sitting french president. so are they project the of personality but also runs the government. and that is the problem. so trump is a spectacular president and this is what americans have been lusting for for so lo

next, benedict arnold's chaplain and the reverend george whitfield, or what was left of him by 1775. this is the frontis piece to a book of poetry, rather, one poem, by phyllis wheatley, whose name has already come up in our -- some of our discussions. and i want you to see this because it illustrates the entombment of whitfield. it looks like it should be pronounced whitefield but it's whitfield. one of the great leaders of the first great awakening. and it shows his clerical collar there. you see that geneva collar that he has on. you can't see as well but ministers in that tradition wore very prominent cuffs as well, or bands, as they called them. now you may know that whitfield made many trips, he was english, made many trips across the atlantic, but he died here, died in massachusetts, in 1770, relatively young. and was buried there. so in 1775, which is a year after gage's letter that we just looked at, in newberry port, massachusetts, american forces under the command of benedict arnold assembled to begin their ill life fated invasion of canada. and their chaplain led a group

upon hearing this presidential benediction, the stock market stored again. -- market soared again. when hoover heard this, he was incredulous. aide, heo an asked, did coolidge say that? in fact, coolidge himself had qualms about the credit expansion driving the stock market upward, but for a variety of reasons he kept them quiet and declined to intervene. as he put it to a relative of two days later, "i regard myself as a representative of the government and not as an individual. ,"en technical matters arose he turned them over to a government agency and use the feedback for his official stance. "that does not prevent me from thinking as i please as an individual." and as an individual, he considered any loan for what he considered gambling on stocks excessive. hoover's perception of the presidential office was to be far more expensive. attitude, coolidge's toward hoover was becoming more critical. in the wake of the mississippi flood disaster and the shower of accolades heaped upon the secretary of commerce, coolidge begin privately -- began to privately disparage hoover as the mi

benedict cumberbatch has played the prince of denmark, tom hiddleston will take on the role later this part is the irish actor andrew scott, who you may know as moriarty in the hit series sherlock. his hamlet has deliberately been pitched to younger audiences, with 300 seats a night on sale to the under—30s. —— with 300 seats a night on sale to the under—30s. stephen smith has been to the harold pinter theatre to meet him. tis sweet and commendable in your nature, hamlet. to give these morning duties to your father. andrew scott's hamlet wears his fencing gear almost as if it was a straitjacket. but father lost his. he says the production he leads looks at hamlet‘s plight in a very contemporary way. the thing that feels the most timely is the relationship with mental health. it's a story about a young man whose father has just died and everybody in his family is saying, move on, move on, you're the prince, we don't have time. your mental health is not important. and so because he is at the centre of the state, something rotten develops at the state of denmark. and that's what's very im

british troops came ashore benedict, maryland, on august 19, 1814, and began marching to bladensburg. with monroe's suggestion of system of couriers to report the enemy's movements was disregarded by secretary of war john armstrong, monroe went into the field himself. used this telescope to count the numbers of ships and men and the british force and reported back to president madison. at the battle of bladensburg on august 24th, the british quickly rabid american force of regulars and poorly organized militia, monroe moved some american units on the field in a matter that did little to improve an already chaotic command structure. while the cartoon at the above right there implies that madison fled from the british in panic, in fact, he and most of the cabinet including monroe stayed on the field until the end and narrowly avoided capture. the british moved onto washington, d.c. where they burned many public buildings including the white house. in the aftermath of this disaster, armstrong resigned as secretary of war and monroe w assumed the office while remaining secretary of state.

. > let me give the benediction. now may the grace of god our heavenly father, may the love of is son jesus the christ, may the communion of the holy spirit henceforth forever more. god bless you. announcer: vice president mike pence is in an oversea trip in colombia, argentina, chile and panama. >> the remarks made by president trump about the violence in charlottesville alarmed many people. do you agree that there were good people among the white sprem cyst and do you believe -- supremacist and do you believe confederate statues should be removed? or do you agree that general robert e. lee should be considered in the same pantheon as george washington. vice president pence: what happened in charlottesville was a tragedy. the president has been clear on this tragedy and so have it. i spoke at length about this heartbreaking situation on sunday night in columbia. and i stand with the president and i stand by those words. but today while i'm here in our hearts are in charlottesville because just a family and urs ago,

they marched from benedict maryland unopposed to the outskirts of washington, d.c., where you have an infamous battle that's called the bladensburg races. because the american militia ran so fast that is become known as the bladensburg -- that might not have happened if james madison had not been the only american president to go into battle with his troops. he had no experience and his mere presence meant that his generals did not know what to do or overcome. so it was a maryland politicians nephew, general winder, who spread the troops around, had them or they might have resisted the british, event the secretary of state james monroe who had been in the revolutionary war came out and rearranged everything so a cavalry couldn't see the british coming. the infantry didn't like that. it was a disaster. washington was totally undefended. that reprisal for your k-1 forms of fire. because the british brought with them papier-mÂchÉ globes full of incendiary liquid that could not he put out. with special tools, slings come something like you use in highlight to be able to throw these globes

4,400 seasoned -- battled seasons soldiers from fighting napoleon in europe, and they marched from benedict maryland, on opposed to the outskirtses of washington, dc, where you have an infamous battle called the brazen'sburg races because the american militia ran so fast that it has become known as the bladens burg -- that might not have happened if james madison had not been the only american from go into battle with his troops. he inside experience, and his mere presence meant that his generals did not know what to do or overcome. so it was a maryland politician's nephew, general winder, who spread she troops around, had them where they might have resisted the british, and then secretary of state, james monroe, who had been in a revolutionary war, came out and rearranged everything so the cavalry couldn't see the british coming, the infantry didn't like in. it was a disaster. the bladesburg races. washington was totally undefended. now, that reprisal for york came in the form of fire because the british brought with them paper mache globes full of incendiary liquid that could not be put o

ohio state university history professor michael les benedict discussed that decision on the occasion of its 150th anniversary. >> i am going to use the lectern for just a minute. thank you very much, stewart. it's been my pleasure to know our speaker tonight for more years than probably either of us would like to admit. i first met les when he was one of the brightest young graduate students at the university of illinois where we both were studying under harold highman, one of the greats in the field of constitutional history a

and are reminders of hate are paying homage we would never pay homage to benedict arnold.f oursay it is part heritage -- it is, and it is a cancer that needs to be fully addressed. a lot of these individuals in the southern states and the northern states, they are direct benefactors of this hate and cancer. iny had it in jim crow laws, segregation, and we even had a supreme court justice that wanted to continue with slavery. the dread start case. so the -- the gerrard scott's case pits of these statutes should definitely come down. itlerill not find h high school. those are images of hate and have no place. they need to be addressed and removed. put them in museums or in the confederate cemetery. host: we will leave the conversation there for now. when we come back, washing her examiner white house correspondent sarah westwood talks about the continued fallout from president trump's charlottesville comments. later, robert jones will be here to talk about his book, "the end of white christian america." we will be right back. weekend onp this "american history tv" on c-span3

. >> and then you go out for mimosas and eggs benedict. like, that's it. you're baptised.g to baptise our daughter. elliott, i had her in my great-grandmother's christening outfit which is like the white silk with the cap -- you know the bulbous eyes. those early american painters of, like, and the sickly children. and, again, the wasps, they get a little cross. they took my baby and submerged her in a copper pot of water. so she goes down -- and comes up -- and then she goes -- [ laughter ] and i'm watching this in horror. you have two girls. you know what i'm saying. and i'm freaking out, and i look over, i see my mother turn to my sisters and go, "look away, look away!" [ laughter ] >> jimmy: look away. >> and this church was like two wasps. >> jimmy: yeah. >> and the greeks were watching "it's a wonderful life." and the wasps were watching "the texas chainsaw massacre." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you're like, "this is insane what's happening right now." >> yeah, these people were screaming, "opa!" [ applause ] >> jimmy: oh, my gosh. that is fantastic. i want to talk about

don't know how much am i aloud to say without being excommuted i will say this the previous pope benedict is -- was my favorite. >> a big thumbs-up. a deeply, deeply religious intelligent brilliant theologian yongd my understanding in many ways. spiritual and kind and decent and wonderful i think the previous pope was tremendous. this pope wants to be in the new jean paul the ii but he doesn't have charisma or intelligence and he seems to run his mouth about things in a very unhelpful way. and he's also -- he perhaps also is being badly managed advised because he has people around him it's like a good idea to, you know, imagine this. right, you're the pope's head of communications and you're telling the pope it is a good idea to have a go at trump when you live in the vatican? >> not good. he has bad people around him. >> so i know you gave a thumbs-up to trump but here's my question and maybe my last question for you. we're talking earlier you and he are both disrupters. how does the disrupter can a disrupter succeed as president how does a disrupter succeed and where do you see sort of

because what i'm saying is we member and i know i seem like i'm being like i'm on a big a bit of a benedict arnold to my my fellow men here but when it comes to sexual sophistication of a lot of men it's based it's fred flintstone based consequently they might be perfectly happy with this automated machine or as a woman would say no the human form can never be replaced and with that we've got to leave it right there my human friend renaissance man rather than philosopher a litle of a light on media thank you couldn't have said it better myself. and tend to contact tomorrow evening chris hedges discusses challenges to legal justice in america with a legal scholar at her contact aleck. i think that we've got a product that is really critical to the freedom and pursuit of happiness and fundamental rights people but where i see the problem is i don't know a public defender who can handle competently more than one hundred fifty felonies walking around with a caseload of five hundred. i don't know of any system that can do the kind of quality work as an individual public defender needs to do on b

important one was the work of the commission on civil rights and the national -- on this s.ility doe benedict issued a report only on about the history of discrimination -- they had issued a report about the history of discrimination. we have the report accommodating the spectrum of individual disabilities from this commission. it really made clear that concept -- maker the concept that disabilities is a naturally occurring concept of the human condition. these reports really provided the basis for what would become the aba. there was another report that came about in 1988 that was interesting. it was a response to the epidemic. done that hadt some 400 recommendations. but it had 10 chief recommendations, and one of them was, they needed to be a lot to protect people who are hiv-positive. needed to protect their rights and privacy, but also to stop discrimination against them. and report said, the civil rights bill shouldn't single out people who are hiv, but should be comprehensive and deal with all people with disabilities. another thing in 1988, we had a presidential election. here is one

the previous pope benedict is, was my favorite.deep, deeply, deeply religious intelligence brilliant theologian. beyond my understanding in many ways, spiritual, kind and decent and wonderful. i think the the previous pope was tremendous. this pope seems to crave, i think this pope wants to be the new john paul ii. the problem is he doesn't have the charisma or the intelligence. he seems to run his mouth about things in a very unhelpful way. he press also is being badly managed and badly advised because he has people around him, it's a good idea, imagine this. you are the hopes headed fumigation using it's good to have a go about -- is that people around him. >> guest: you give a thumbs up to trump but here's my question and maybe my last question for you. we were talking earlier, you are both disruptors. how does a disruptor counter disruptor -- candidates up to succeed as president? what do you see for the future of donald trump? >> guest: so you're a structural problem in this country. the american system, the political system w

existing research for those of you who are made to in this area, such a research as schultz and benedict and with the offense and of our advisory council, we distributed that survey through bar associations across 37 states in the country. actually, there were individuals from fifth the state to insert, but the bar associations in 37 states distributed to survey and we have a little bit of crossover people who practice in two states. we got 24,137 valid responses to the survey. if there're any of of you in this audience who answered the survey, thank you for your time. it was a little bit at a prodigious undertaking because the survey itself is 25 minutes long. we got over 40,000 actual responses and 24,000 valid responses. they responded base nearest the legal profession. some of the numbers are not wonderful in terms of demographic, but in fact, the respondent days is representatives, both geographically and in terms of the size of firms in which lawyers across the country practice, the amount of money they make and the demographics themselves. we asked about 147 different foundations

but is that not a kind of benedict option? i'm not saying i'm advocating that but i am suggesting that are their multiplicity of strategies we can pursue? is that one of them? are the others such as erika has described? are the others such as st. john's represents? are there others such as what dr. kass has described? and how can we each in our own capacity to generate support for those endeavors? how can we resist those who would silence thought? how can we appeal to those who can arm and support what we do? what are the multiplicity of strategies? i think it would be a great mistake if we think there's one solution to this. how can we develop the multiplicity of solutions, whether it be think tanks or whether it be the heroic man of the swamp, i don't know. it seems to me that we perhaps could take and intelligence step by identifying what the multiplicity of those possibilities are. and getting the word of encouragement direction and thinking through for each of them. >> i wonder why do we call university and not multi-univ

defense and in justification of liberal education, how much do we want to suggest that there is a benedict option that has to be considered as well? i think what springs to my mind is one example of this, in bradbury's fahrenheit 451 in a culture which burns books because they are threatening. but often swapped far, far away that are the bands the people who memorize because they can't trust to the page that can be incinerated, but memorize descartes and shakespeare come to introduce themselves, hello, i'm mathematica. and i look upon bradbury's tale as a cautionary one. and i sometimes wonder how far off we are from that. i hope a good distance. but is that not a kind of an addict option? i'm not saying i am advocating that audience adjusting that are there multiplicity of strategies we can pursue? is that one of them? are there other such as eric has described? are the others such as st. john's represents? are there other such as what professor cass has described? and how can we each and her own capacity to generate support for those endeavors? how can we resist those who would silence f

a theater near you -- the bad boys of brexit nigel character to be played by -- >> talking about benedictch and based on brexit thinking is that the leadup to the trump victory is bairvegly the brexit story. >> i can't imagine hollywood being interested in brexit for heaven's sakes. so interesting nigel saying i'm really god at playing myself i should play myself in this movie. >> never led up to that it will be a negative movie on nigel and donald trump. absolutely guaranteed. thank you i make a good point. i have a jewish story self-driving cars are going to put a lot of people out of business. okay is this a new ?id >> one in nine workers this is -- who says commerce department data. by robot driver that's about 11% of the total u.s. work force. so you do want to see that that manufacturing table if this is happening. >> there you go. exactly.

. -- benedict arnold has a statue of his boots. maybe we ought to symbolize what these guys used to make their mark in history. it should not be anything positive from where i stand. it is pretty offensive obviously. to a bunch of people. i will say black people from the south understand how offended some of these people are looking at some of the statues. host: we have reached the 9:00 hour on the east coast. we are going to continue on with all of your thoughts, your phone calls, your tweets. happening in your communities across the country and a lot of down the cities up and east coast and across the country, as well. removed?ey be should they be put in a museum, plaques go up explaining the context of the statues, as some callers have as well., continue dialing in with your phone calls, we'll get to more a minute. want to share other news with you from the "washington post" afghanistan. here is analysis done by them. more troops in afghanistan means billions more in war costs. president trump said the u.s. ommitment to afghanis
