it is they will die in childbirth. the argument of why abortion has been made legal in western countries. so probably you could trace some effect that we, it really is an issue that changes from administration to administration and it is particularly poignant for people like the woman you quoted because just two days ago there was a massive rally here and around the country in support of women's rights come including abortion, so although it is not unusual for a republic administration to put these restrictions on for development aid with regard to women's health it is something that resonates quite strongly at this point in the trump administration transition. as you are with us from the state department, who is in charge there at the moment? there is someone in charge. the number three, tom shannon. he's from the previous bet in the station, he is a career diplomat. he is holding the fort until a new secretary of state is confirmed. we expect a vote shortly in the senate foreign relations committee about a nominee, r

the national childbirth trust talking about findings from a recent survey that half of the women in thewomen in the survey received clinically unsafe ca re survey received clinically unsafe care because of staffing shortages. how can you respond to that? my understanding of what the assessment is, is as soon as we have had the nice staffing guidelines we have been clearer than before when we we re been clearer than before when we were not able to meet the safe, optimal guidelines we set for the units. a red flag essentially means that a director of nursing or midwifery has sight of the fact there is a serious issue within a unit, which is a positive, because previously we didn't know if we were having a red flag event or not, and people were able to respond accordingly, and by and large they are safe places. that isn't a position we want to be in in the long—term, which is why challenging ourselves going forward, having the right staff is absolutely critical it is also the reason why while the national figures are reasonable, there are local scenarios as well, because some places find i

so they said they had to remove it because during childbirth, that could burst and that could kill her and the child. so she has surgery to remove the tumor, but a week later -- she went into labor and she had edison. >> how terrifying for her, though. because in that moment you're pregnant, your baby is due in just a few weeks, and you don't know how severe your case is. imagine all the things that must have been going through her head and how wonderful that things turned out the best way they could have. >> he's smiling, he's happy, and the family looks well. >>> we delve into one of the longest, deepest rivalries in the history of the world. cyclists versus drivers. >> oh! >> he gets that one. >> that's it. we're riding with a cyclist in australia. he's just minding his own business coming around the

half women in childbirth are being completely let down to a point that it is actually very dangerous.xperienced what are called red flag eve nts have experienced what are called red flag events during labour where you basically do not have access to painkillers, where you do not have a midwife with you, and there is a shortage of 3500 midwives. we have got the picture of this stunningly beautiful bride and mother who was only 30 years old, and who had an emergency caesarean. it does not happen every day, but that is a tragedy for her family and it looks like there are other really very serious, potential problems. it is very scary for any woman who is pregnant right now. very scary and i fear another negative story for the nhs ata fear another negative story for the nhs at a time like this. all right, finally, the cartoon on the front page of the telegraph says it all as we all await britannia's speech tomorrow. let's see if we can bring it up. there it is. i wish vladimir putin would hack into the uk's brexit plans and tell us what is going on. hopefully vladimir and the rest of the

the usual -- childbirth, anxiety. will i be a good mother? will i bond with my kid? father? how's he been? oh, he's great. he's very supportive and -- [ cries ] sylvia, are you okay? not really. i can't hear much of anything these days 'cause of this buzzing in my ears. when was the last time you checked in with dr. neston? oh, god! so tired of doctors! i just want this to end. [ sniffles ] i can't free myself from him. who? my husband.

many childre as let's just say in places like the muslim countries, if you look at europe, the childbirths are really low, really low in america. will that ever change? what are the consequences if it doesn't? >> well, obviously it changes the demographics of the world that will change very substantially. and it's a little bit worrisome if you -- like it is now. it is worrisome if you're looking for a radical change in the world. the fact of the matter is all of our actions have consequences. if, in this country, we back off of family, we back off of having babies, then obviously we're going to turn into something different. we just have to be prepared for that. so that it's not a surprise. >> so this mother's day weekend, what message do you have for your mother this weekend, dr. carson? >> the m mother is the one that i have for all mothers, and, that is, you are the most influential individual in your child's life. you're the first person that they know. you're their protector. you're their teacher. you're the one who teaches them how to relate to other people. and without our mothers,

the committee's hearing followed a report from the national childbirth trust which blamed a shortagethey had been treated "like cattle". the number has been granted of 2600 of the gap, if that figure you would... our current figure is we are 3500 full—time with white short. there are various issues. we are seeing a rapidly increasing number of midwives retiring from the service so the number of midwives now over 50 is very significant so there is a need to replace, as midwives to leave and the number going out is now pretty much equating to the number coming in so you are getting flat—lining of the workforce. as donald trump prepared to take over as us president, a conservative peer lambasted his predecessor ba rack obama as "the most "useless american president in my lifetime". lord blencathra was taking part in a debate on the rise of populism around the world. he made clear he'd be pleased to see the end of the obama era. tomorrow we will be rid of the most useless american president i have ever seen in my entire lifetime whose only legacy is rhetoric. he has withdrawn america fro

a coroner has ruled that the death of a young mother following childbirth was the result of "failuresered a fatal haemorrhage at tunbridge wells hospital, after an emergency caesarean in 2012. daniel boettcher reports. frances cappuccini died after giving birth by caesarean, the inquest heard she'd suffered a haemorrhage because a piece of placenta had been left in her womb. she was operated on, but died within eight hours of the birth. today, her husband tom arrived at the inquest to hear the coroner's conclusions. roger hatch said the death of frances cappuccini was as a result of the failures, inadequate diagnosis and treatment of her at tunbridge wells hospital. the coroner found that the c—section had not been carried out with care, that there should have been checks to make sure that nothing had been missed. the result of this failure, he said, led directly to the subsequent series of events, which tragically ended in the death of frances. among the otherfindings was that the haemorrhage was not properly managed, that a breathing tube had been removed too soon during her treatme

of abortions and will increase abortions dramatically and increase the number of women dying in childbirth and of other kinds of ailments. i think it has been a catastrophic week for policy. i think we need to be cautious about than. >> we have never seen in our politics a voting public that appreciates a chaotic white house. no polling has ever gone up as a result of a white house appearing to be chaotic. one of the extreme issues for donald trump's polling is he is going to a republican congress and asking them to do things they have been opposed to until inauguration day of 2017. he is asking them to do things they don't know how to do. the mass confusion is happening behind closed doors with republicans. he is asking them to do things legislatively they don't know how to do and don't have answers to yet. they are always watching the president's popularity poll numbers to decide just how hard they want to work for a president. >> give credit where credit is due. trump did say he would be a uniter and divider. he united the people of mexico against him. as for what's going to happen with

in 2015, 25 women lost their lives during pregnancy or childbirth per 100,000 births in the u.s. compared to 23 women who did so in only 2000. it's clear we need more to reverse the troubling trend and other poor outcome that results in limited access to maternity care providers. congress must ensure our women have access to prenatal and maternity care services they need. i support h.r. 315. i urge my colleagues to vote yes, and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas, mr. green, reserves. the chair recognizes the gentleman from texas, mr. burgess. mr. burgess: thank you, mr. speaker. at this time i'm pleased to recognize and yield to the gentleman from tennessee, the chairman of the veterans' affairs committee, and a fellow ob-gyn, three minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for three minutes. mr. roe: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise in support of h.r. 315, the improving access to maternity care act, sponsored by fellow ob-gyn and chairman of the health caucus, dr. mike burgess from one of the easiest ways to ens

but she's arguing because women are the bearer of children and go through children and childbirth and the labor of that, is that men have to work for their wives. but it is based on the judeo-christian understanding of marriage, it is based on a world where birth control is still a very uncomfortable subject for people. she also was very adamant about feminism, antiabortion movement -- and the abortion movement, so she used the antiabortion movement to her advantage, and talked about women involved with the e.r.a. as baby killers. she is very, very -- i would call bold and strident in her words, in her use of language, but she does it in a very calm tone. and the way she writes is also very calm. people didn't see her as angry. they saw her as illustrating the perfect wife. and that won her the e.r.a. in 1977. page: let me switch to you. alice paul wrote the original amendment, worked on it for the rest of her life, passed away in 1977. can you give us any thoughts on alice and what she was thinking as far as the opposition to the equal rights movement -- to the equal rights amendment

i think childbirth and leaving the workforce is one of the big issues here. enough if you ta ke position. is that fair enough if you take ona position. is that fair enough if you take on a job which is less responsibility then you are paid less tha n responsibility then you are paid less than someone who is prepared to work full—time and makes less sacrifices? part-time work does not have to involve less responsibilities. big companies and large companies who invest a try not have a gender pay gap make sure part—time roles have as much responsibility as their full—time cou nterpa rts responsibility as their full—time counterparts and pay as well. i don‘t accept part—time roles have to accept less responsibility. one of the challenges is to create new part—time roles which can support people who are returning to the workforce whether they be men or women. from april2018, companies with more than 250 employees will have to pay information —— will have to publish information about the pay gap, do you think this will help? there is greater scrutiny of this issue
