when i'm describing what happened to sandra bland, you hear that tape we just saw of sandra bland andrian. when brian does his deposition in the case, i walk through the deposition expanding his behavior, you hear it in his voice. i have the tape of the deposition. all of that means that the experience i think is just a lot more powerful and people who have listened to the, some of the people who have listened to the audio book and read the book is a small number, but there is some, they tell me it is almost like two different books. you're drawn to two different things and your reactions are very different. host: do you have more fun working on the podcast than you do the labor of writing a book? malcolm: yeah, because in the podcast you can do really goofy things. you do goofy things in the podcast that you couldn't -- i have a podcast episode on the two chutzpahs, they have different meaning and pronunciations. it was a lark. i'll never write that in a book. there is a kind of playfulness that comes in a podcast format that's not really available in serious nonfiction. host: lookin

soledad: sandra bland, for example. you could say the cop was a racist. he saw her when she lit the cigarette and refused to put it out. every biased fiber of his body clicked in and it would end in disaster for sandra bland. do you think that's too simplistic? malcolm: i think that's way too simplistic. and by the way, there is a parallel discussion of that case which is from the other perspective, which says sandra bland didn't respect authority because when she's stopped by this cop for no reason, she -- they start an argument and she -- she won't put it out when he says put it out. so there is another kind of conservative interpretation of that case which says it's all about her and she's a young black woman with an attitude and she shouldn't have an attitude -- attitude. both those explanations i find to be completely inadequate to understand this incident. so i think the crucial thing for me in this book and in many of my books is let's get beyond this surface interpretation. we live in a world in which it is constructed on ideas and assumptions and

i'm ben bland, in london. also in the programme: after tuesday's momentous supreme court ruling, britain's parliament is back and angrier than ever. for this prime minister to talk about morals and morality is a disgrace! the british prime minister dismisses calls to resign. he accuses the opposition of an obsessive desire to thwart brexit. and a dark world of child slavery and prostitution. we report from bangladesh, and one of the world's largest licenced brothels. live from our studios in singapore and london, this is bbc world news — it's newsday. good morning. it's 8am here in singapore, 1am in london, and 8 pm in washington where the white house has released partial details about the conversation donald trump had with the leader of ukraine, which has led to impeachment proceedings against the us president. the allegation that he threatened to hold back us aid unless ukraine provided dirt on one of his political rivals led democrats to begin the impeachment process. the democrats say it's damning evidence

nigusse bland enough for your leadership and inspiration. and to daniel leary and the tipping point folks, it's been a remarkable partnership. we're tremendously grateful at ucsf. there are several other people i want to mention. first, i really would like to underscore a tremendous contribution from jane hawgood and john pritzger for their help to launch this collaboration and bring us together. as you've heard today, it will be the partnership of academia and the city and philanthropy that really promises to allow us to move forward on a critically important and admittedly extremely difficult challenge. ucsf and the city have a long partnership beginning 150 years ago, when ucsf doctors began caring for san franciscans in the city's general hospital. today ucsf clinicians continue to care for the city's most vulnerable, including children and adults, at san francisco general hospital and in a range of outstanding community-focused programs for those suffering from mental illness and substance use disorders. from our division of city-wide c

i know this is part of doctor bland's charge. in thinking what we need to do for folks on the street who either are voluntarily seeking treatment or are going to be kind of produced in that direction through some criminal justice involvement, i still don't think i have any concept of what it would cost to -- what the distance between where we are in terms of spending and programming and actually providing what we would want to provide, which is real treatment on demand for everybody seeking it in a quick period of time and support for them afterwards. i am hoping some of what will come out of doctor bland's work is a map of what would and you suggested maybe it is three or -- a total of double the step down beds. it doesn't solve behavioral health court problem. it is hard for us as policymakers to, you know, work and i assume this is true in the mayor's office to come up with solutions if we don't have a real assessment of what the gaps are. >> it is true, i didn't focus specifically on
