on my mind iss the odd idea of the christian nation, going up as a christian christian nation growing up as a christian myself i had 2 bibles. i had the christian bible and the jeffersonian bible. one that one of our founding fathers, a noted atheist, streamlined. he cut out what previous callers would have called mythology, and streamlined it down into how to live the christian way. found end, what jefferson was a great way to be an upstanding human being. i adore that about him. in the is, what we do, what we bring to the table as christians , more than anything else what is unique about our faith is the premise of faith. implies, by its very nature, by its very existence, the room for doubt. my preacher and my bible taught me it is better to live as a stranger in my own country. that being what it is, what does a christian nation look like? and our modern-day world i believe a christian nation is .ust a secular society that secular society where we allow people to have their doubts. to god is onship their own terms, and if they reject it, it is on them. host: another news item this

christian nation. so how does that come about? >> i do not believe we have become a christian nation. i believe that there been times in history first during the second great awakening in the early years of the 19th century and then quite dramatically during the period since the 1980, the majority and christian right with the claim that this is a christian nation it has been made. and that christianity is american values. and that is both factually and historically completely erroneous and dangerous. again, the members of the framing generation, those that created the constitution were very - about our beliefs. most of them were not in fact practicing christians. one of them believed in a god that had no values other than do unto others as you would do unto you. which is what the basic religious principle of most of them was. the notion that this is a christian nation has no basis in fact, if i nation we mean by how we were created in with the aspirations of the nation worker the aspirations of the nation were captured in the first amendment which required separation of church and stat

christian democrats have won germany's most populous state, beating their main social democrat rivals, in the last electoral test before the national poll in september. exit polls for north rhine—westphalia show angela merkel‘s christian democrats taking a projected share of 34—point—five percent of the vote, with their free democrat allies on 12 percent. the social democrats have 30—point—five percent while their governing partners, the greens, slumped to six percent. 0ur berlin correspondent, damien mcguinness, told me this result would be seen as a pointer to the federal election in a few months time. that is why this regional election matters because on the one hand, it matters because on the one hand, it matters in its own right, this is germany's largest state, 13 point something million voters are both there and they vote primarily on regional issues. they are voting on schools, policing, transport, these are all issues run by the regional governments, but this region is also a bellwether and a signal for the national elections in four months' time and that is partly because this is traditionally a sdp centre—left stronghold and martin schulz, angela merkel‘s challenger said and he assumed that they were going to win their and they were going to set up a strong left—wing coalition government in that area because martin shilts felt some enthusiasm from left—wing voters over the past few months and he assumed he would do well here and that this would be a strong signal for september. do well here and that this would be a strong signalfor september. he has just a strong signalfor september. he hasjust said a strong signalfor september. he has just said about half an hour ago that it has just said about half an hour ago thatitis has just said about half an hour ago that it is a difficult day for social democracy and a difficult day for him personally because he is well aware now that this is a signal that actually the support around the country may not be as strong as he thinks, because what we have noticed over the past few weeks really is that the initial enthusiasm for him seems to have faded somewhat and that polls are showing that actually angela merkel, the current incumbent chancellor is the most popular and it seems that most voters want her to stay and it is partly because she is seen as a safe pair of hands in insecure times. a difficult day for martin schultz, he is not exactly when to throw in the towel, but do you think as far as his leadership challenge goes, you pretty much predicts that it will not happen? that is what some commentators are already saying, they are saying it is the end of the road for him but he said he would keep fighting. it also has to be said that it depends what happens over the next few months, but those angela merkel has had a few knocks over the past few yea rs, had a few knocks over the past few years, during the resurgence of the refugee crisis, we have had terror attacks and all those things did not support and there are plenty of voters who are not satisfied with angela merkel and want a change, but i think what we have seen over the past month or so is that people here are saying that martin schultz has not really come up with concrete policies and the sdp are finding it difficult really to get that centre ground where mrs merkel sitting co mforta bly ground where mrs merkel sitting comfortably indeed when it comes to issues to do with migration when it comes to do with security and terror, angela merkel is sitting in the popular centre ground which the sdp is minded hard to occupy. that is the problem and until martin schultz can come up with concrete policies to really combat mrs merkel, it is hard to see how he will beat in september. damian mcguinness there. emmanuel macron has promised to restore france's global standing, as he was sworn in as the country's youngest president, at the age of 39. speaking at an elaborate elysee palace ceremony, president macron also vowed to see the eu ' reformed and re—launched' during his time in office. his inauguration comes just a week after his resounding victory over the national front‘s marine le pen. 0ur europe correspondent damian grammaticas reports. not since france had an emperor 200 years ago, as it had a leader this young. 39 years old and inaugurated president today of one of the world's most powerful nations. emmanuel macron has seized his opportunity, propelled by a young man's self—confidence and some political good fortune. the disillusion that has fuelled populism elsewhere, has led france to back a newcomer, but one squarely in the centre ground. emmanuel macron routed the traditional parties. the outgoing president, francois hollande, leaves office as france's most unpopular leader of modern times. but the task in front of mr macron is huge. if this business friendly liberal is to honour his pledge to transform france. translation: all labour laws will be liberalised, companies will be supported. innovation and creativity will be at the heart of my programme. the french feel left behind by globalisation and will be better protected. to achieve that, mr macron needs a majority in parliament, but his new party has no mps and elections are in four weeks' time. emmanuel macron has promised this moment will mark a decisive break from the past for france, a moment of national renewal where all his predecessors have promised reform and failed to deliver. he will need more than useful to optimism and energy to succeed. what mr macron hopes he can make it a force at the heart of the eu, say those who know him. translation: he will relaunch the eu. if the british were still members, they would be part of this, but we will do this without them. it is on the basis that countries who want to cooperate further, will. for france and europe, much rests on some very young shoulders. the un security council will meet to discuss north korea's latest missile launch within the next two days. it comes just hours after the us military confirmed a missile was launched near the north western city of kusong and landed in the sea ofjapan. america's ambassador to the united nations, nikki haley, gave this assessment of why she thought the north korean leader kim jong un was acting as he does. he is in the state of paranoia, he is concerned about everything around him andi is concerned about everything around him and i think this was a message to south korea, after the election and what we are going to do is continue to tighten the screws. he absolutely feels it. having a missile test is not the wake to sit down with the president because he is absolutely not going to do it and ican is absolutely not going to do it and i can tell you, he can say all the conditions he once, until he meets oui’ conditions he once, until he meets our conditions, we are not sitting down with them. i spoke earlier to mark fitzpatrick, executive director of the international institute for stategic studies he explained more about the latest nuclear test. this appears to be the longest range missile that north korea has successfully tested to date. the range would be about a500 kilometres, if it was straight and not in the trajectory. that is about 1500 kilometres longer than anything north korea has tested to date and brings it closer to having an intercontinental ballistic missile range. how close is closer? they still would need to add more oomph to the missile, to reach the united states. they would need a range of 8000. there is considerable more to 90, 8000. there is considerable more to go, probably at least a couple more yea rs of go, probably at least a couple more years of development, but the pace of north korea's missile testing has been so rapid and the progress so great in the last couple of years, that it great in the last couple of years, thatitis great in the last couple of years, that it is unclear that they will be stopped before they can reach the united states. mark fitzpatrick there. stay with us on bbc world news, still to come... 0thers others for the arabian president is the former president calls on millions to vote for him. —— a boost for the iranians president. the pope was shot, the pope will live. an italian commentators said that terror had come to the vatican. the man they call the butcher went on trial today in the french town where he was the gestapo chief in the second world war. winnie mandela never looked like a woman just sentenced to six years in jail. the judge told mrs mandela there was no indication she felt even the slightest remorse. the chinese government has called for an all—out effort to help victims of the powerful earthquake, the worst hit the country for 30 years. the computer deep blue has triumphed over the world chess champion. it is the first time machine has defeated reigning world champion in a classical chess match. america's first legal same—sex marriages have been taking place in massachusetts. god bless america! this is bbc world news today. the latest headlines... experts in cyber security warn of a possible new wave of malware attacks around the world when people return to work after the weekend. exit polls from elections in the german state of north rhine westphalia suggest that chancellor merkel‘s christianal social democratic party. we will get all the sport and white ha rt we will get all the sport and white hart lane has become memory lane today. it is so true. an emotional and happy ending for tottenham as they said goodbye after 118 years to their white hart lane stadium. they beat manchester united 2—1 at the stadium before it is demolished and rebuilt. the pack —— fans poured onto the pitch with a victory confirming second place at tottenham ‘s highest finish in the premier league. victor wanyama and harry kane scored to ensured that spurs remained unbeaten at home this season. remained unbeaten at home this season. they will play their matches at wembley next year before returning to a brand—new 61,000 seat stadium in time for the 2018th — 2019 season. we will miss it a lot. white hart lane a special but at the same time, we need to move on. i think we will be very happy to start to play in the new white hart lane. you mention the celebrations, will you try and take anything from
