but i think one of the most frustrating things about this, david jordan, i heard him speaking on radioomments about these congresswoman we re racist, trump's comments about these congresswoman were racist, that naga munchetty was well in her rights talk about this racism shared experience. there was also a lack of clarity about what it was that she was being reprimanded for, when he was being reprimanded for, when he was seen to be agreeing broadly with what she said. she had also been asked by her co—presenter about this, so it wasn't this kind of unsolicited... going to have to leave it there. more in an hour, i'm sure. maya and asa, thank you. i hope they will be back. now it's now it's the weather. hello there. in the uk, the average height of a 2—story house is about seven metres high. imagine for a moment if you will waves that are three times that size, 22 metres high. those unbelievably powerful waves a re high. those unbelievably powerful waves are what we are seeing generated by hurricane lorenzo with within 25 mph winds. lorenzo is working in a northeastward direction which

the problem here is david jordan follow the process to the letter.i don't think, as the bbc often does, in this case, the bbc often does, in this case, the system... what needs to happen is the bbc needs to apologise to naga, it needs to revisit those guidelines, it needs to prove to the public and its own minority staff that when it says it wants diversity, it's not just that when it says it wants diversity, it's notjust interested in painting by numbers and having brown faces around the table. it wa nts brown faces around the table. it wants the knowledge and experience and insight of those people to be pa rt and insight of those people to be part of the bbc‘s journalistic output thomas so i would not be happy this falling on any individual, especially not sodhi like david jordan because that's the way that big institutions always do this. they always say, it was some of the's fault, some but he made a mistake, it moved on and we were fine. you will not be fine if that is what you do stop at the bbc, along with otherjournalist, organisations —— the

the bbc‘s david jordan explained the decision.to speculating about what president trump's motives might have been in making the comments that he made. there's no doubt that the comment he made is racist. to say to anybody from a minority ethnic community, from an immigrant community that they should go back to where they came from is just ignorant prejudice and is racism, and she was right to identify it as such. so there's no doubt that the comment was racist. but what she then went on to speculate about, together with dan walker later in the conversation, was what was motivating that? was it being done for — to attract attention or for some other reason? and you can watch the full interview with david jordan on newswatch here on bbc one at 7:45 this morning. prince harry has said that visiting the most famous site of his late mother's anti—landmine campaigning was an "emotional" experience. he was speaking after walking through a partially cleared landmine field in angola, just as diana princess of wales did in 1997, shortly bef

david jordan said it is absolutely a cce pta ble david jordan said it is absolutely acceptable within the corporation saysisin the remarks. it says the corporation says is in its editorial guidelines, they do not allow the journalist to give their opinions about the individual making the remarks or their motives for doing so, in this case president trump. we didn't play the full exchange so for our audience to see this, we will look at the full exchange now. it feels like a thought out strategy, to strengthen his position. it's not enough to do it just to get attention. he is in a responsible position. anyway, i'm not here to give my opinion. and thatis not here to give my opinion. and that is the point because it actually says in theirjudgment that 00:40:08,957 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 naga munchetty was absolutely actually says in theirjudgment that naga munchetty was a racism, y actually says in theirjudgment that naga munchetty was a racism, we can who have experienced racism, we can talk about those experiences but to remain impartial about whether they we re remain impartial abo

well, to discuss this, i am joined david jordan, the bbc‘s director of editorial policy and standardsng on newswatch. it's not ok for news presenters to talk about personal opinions when discussing the stories? it shouldn't be ok to talk about personal opinions, but it should be ok to talk about personal experience. i wa nt to talk about personal experience. i want to make it clear that what naga munchetty did when she responded to the questions she was asked and suggested that the statement being made was racist, and her response as a person who has had that kind of horrible things said to her in her lifetime, was completely ok, the executive complaints unit which came to this finding had no objection to either of those statements. those people who have interpreted this finding as somehow ruling out either of those two things are wrong, they are people who have interpreted the statement suggesting the bbc is impartial and racism are also wrong. that isn't the case. some viewers, as you heard in those e—mails, said, "why is naga munchetty being singled out placencia when many older wh

david: now, warren buffett , is he a value investor? john: he is the greatest value investor of all time. some people talk about whether michael jordan is better than lebron james. there is no question when it comes to investing that warren is the best ever. david: ok, but value investing, as i understand it, is easier done when the markets are down. when the markets are high, there are not as many bargains. so what have you been doing the last 10 years, because the markets have been very high? john: it has been interesting. we were able to buy terrific bargains right around march of 2009, when the market was bottoming, and we got great brands, companies like cbs and royal caribbean, true bargains. but as the markets recovered, some sectors have stayed really , really cheap. in particular, media. we love companies like viacom and madison square garden network. those stocks are still really cheap. financial service companies, something that you know well, like lazard or kkr. there are some sectors that seem to be totally neglected, even as the markets recovered. david: let's talk about the economy. the united states economy was in a r

let's bring in john jordan, former naval intelligence officer and member of the institute. john, your thoughts on present job in inviting the taliban to camp davidamp david has a rich history but president case wanted the jimmy carter and what was puzzling is that a present from scott about this. it's in contrast with this approach to iran and north korea. he applied maximum pressure sanctions to give himself leverage and then engaged to position itself for peace discussion or revise the deal but in this case he stated openly that he wants american troops out of afghanistan and wants them out by the election. he's given himself a timetable and in this context he has no leverage. these talks were doomed to fail were doomed to blow up for this does not bode well for the regime or government going forward. arthel: that's what president trump has been critical of the four. don't set a timeline publicly saying this is what i want to happen and this is when it will happen. now you think that's what he did in this case and outlaws leverage. what happens now? yet the tell them think americans will suffer more than anyone else and it will result in the k
