birmingham is your hometown.our family, your parents were involved in the civil rights movement in the 1940's. is this your story as well? margaret: it is my parent's story. i was a young child in birmingham and they left birmingham and moved to new york city. i was born in a hospital in birmingham but i also grew up in new york and i tell the story about birmingham because birmingham is such a unique place. a number of authors have told birmingham stories but we do not know this earlier story as well. so i seek to tell the story of the violence of the police and the deep seat of resistance provided by birmingham communities. susan: you titled your project the civil rights and restorative justice program. the last part of your book is about red dress. you argue restorative justice is necessary and recognizing themes victims and restoring justice is necessary. what does that look like? margaret: what i will say is that we are in the moment of repair, reparations, redress. it is not just an american moment, it is a

chris mason, bbc news, in birmingham.roversial mini budget of ten days ago produced "a little turbulence", in the chancellor's words — that was kwasi kwarteng's reference to a collapsing pound and higher interest rates. since the events of friday 23rd september, the pound has regained most of its losses, but the costs of government borrowing and mortgage interest rates are still higher. and there remains the big question of how the chancellor will fund £15 billion worth of tax cuts, as our economics editor faisal islam reports. it was meant to be a growth plan, not a budget. it was meant to underpin the confidence of investors in all projects from those involving towering cranes to ordinary house moves to make that investment. but instead, it amplified an interest rate shock from around the world and targeted it at the uk. if i look back at this, natwest last week were quoting a five—year fixed rate at 3.77, whereas the changes that were made today, theirfive—year fixed—rate cheapest is 5.14. and that's with a 40% deposit
