do you think charles dickens would be on twitter if he were alive now?ers commentator. i mean, the idea of restricting him to whatever it is, 240 characters is kind of interesting, in that he was so expansive a writer. i think he would be on instagram. he'd been on instagram, yeah. he'd blog, he'd definitely blog. he'd definitely blog. he would be on question time regularly. he would be on question time. and you know, we forget he wrote his novels at serials. he serialised them, they were issued in monthly and weekly instalments. very often when he was writing he didn't know what was going to happen next. he would always end on a cliffhanger, and he's then work out the plot, he'd go on these long walks to work out the plot for next week's instalment, so he'd definitely be writing the equivalent of an eastenders, or... he'd probably write his own sunday evening serial. yes. it's a very british film, it's a very multicultural film. i wanted to ask you, is there anything about this film that is a riposte to brexit from your point of view? well, only in that

armando told us why he was inspired to adapt this particular charles dickens story. image of dickens as being a fusty, dark victorian novelist who writes about mud and fog and street urchins and depression. and yes, there is that. and, you know, there are themes in the film that touch on that. but he‘s also very, very funny. he was really — by the age of 21, 22, he was, like, the most famous writer in the world. and he was famous for his funny comedy, really. and he was like the precursor to charlie chaplin, in a way in how internationalfame was. and ijust remember reading the book and just thinking a lot of the themes... you know, the whole book is really about status anxiety — david growing up, not quite knowing whether he fits in, whether... who he really is. do you think there are parallels with our lives now in 2020? absolutely. it‘s funny. the younger audiences really seem to be connecting with the film because they say... it‘s all about david worrying about the friends he‘s made — are they the right friends? what will they say when they find out that, as a chi

[applause] chris: we have a question from stephanie dickens. former elementary school teacher. >> i would like to thank you for your service as a vet and public servant. thank you very much. so there seems to be a lack of enthusiasm for you in the black community. i believe no one is perfect and we can all learn from our mistakes. i believe we should surround ourselves with people who can support us and help us be successful. can you tell me about your police department in south bend, the lessons you learned, and how you plan to overcome the concerns of your voters? >> absolutely. one of the most painful issues of racial justice, in particular affecting black families in our country is the wall of mistrust between community of color and police departments. we experienced that in my city. we had a police shooting that took the life of one of our resident, eric logan, last year and it caused tremendous anguish in our city. i can tell you all the things we were able to do working side by side to deliver improvements and bring more resident into th

reader and i feel as though he mad we need an imme connection talking about robert stephenson, charles dickens, we talked about frankenstein just a moment ago and i would say when a reader meets another reader they have a friend. very few people read deeply. they read the book they might read stephen king or god blesses them, but if you read deeply in literature and doctor alexander's literature is a very big period that includes henry james, stephenson, joseph conrad, amazing names, mark twain, that is one of the pleasures of life is reading. another is writing that the reason i went to mexico if i was working on a novel and had the chance to go to arizona. if any of you have been there, hands is. nice little town with a big fence beside it and at the end of the road there is a big fence. you look at across the fence is mexico. i've written enough in travel books and i've never been to a country where at the edge there is a fence. it's just the most amazing sight. the anarchists makes these strange constructions propping up the building. it looks like christo does find it. it's the most wonde

carefully about what you can do so but to doesn't find the sticker really best mom can see the beatitudes dickens and so should we tried my ear. get that out there to start searching. where do you hide the stickers. well let's have a look. this is stella tells the truth she's 3 and can't deceive this is the wife one. and thinking before they can lie before they have developed the ability to understand that you can manipulate other people's mental states and use information to influence what someone else is thinking how they perceive the world . so. yes they're still very innocent before that things the incident. before that is. done to get that 1st victim lottie is 5 years old the task is the same and lottie also wants that stick or. something now i have one and then let's play again it's not going according to plan for last year. but at 5 her cognitive abilities are well enough developed the chill figured out. i'm going to find that if she finds it she gets to keep it but if she doesn't then it's yours. the sticker isn't in there on the can there so that the. brain is ready to fit at the age of

aunt theresa, my father's sister, and i always say, nd you think what i do is of, she wrote books on dickens, of all things. rubenstein: so you were an only child? rice: i was an only child. focused a lot on you... rice: yeah, definitely. rubenstein: and you had all the lessons that youan have. you were a ballerina. rice: every lesson known to humankind, some of which i was good at and some owhich i wasn't, but they kept me going. i had french lessons. my mother decided that every well-bred, youngirl should speak french, so at 9 years old, i was dragged off to french lessons on saturdays. i had ballet lessons. we had equette lessons. i was, of course, a piist, so, yeah, my parents kept me very, very busy. nstein: now, your mother was a schoolteacher? rice: my mother was a teacher and also a musician. rubenstein: and one of her students, i understand, was willie mays. rice: my mom taught willie mays in high school. rubenstein: he a good student, or-- rice: i asked him once. he said, "oh, i remember miss ray." he saie told me, "now, son, you're gonna be "a ballplayer, so if you need to leave a

charles dickens stayed at the swan in on the high street.uffy. i was amused to learn that my predecessors and sister was a lost love ofjane austen. on whom she based her most famous character of mr darcy. it is just over 560 years ago to the day on december 30 1460 that richard neville, duke of york, and his son thomas met their deaths at the battle of wakefield. led by lord clifford, defeated the york guests and would suffer a major reverse months later a site just down the road. wakefield became yet another battlefield almost 200 years later during the english civil war, when the parliamentarian forces for engagement with the royalists, although madame deputy speaker, i now find myself a parliamentarian although i confess to you, to always having sympathized with the cavaliers. imran ahmad khan there. well, newcomers to the house of lords also give maiden speeches. john mann became lord mann after 18 years in the commons. lastjuly, he was appointed by the outgoing prime minister theresa may to head a government inquiry on tackling anti sem

just a stone's throw from the birthplace of charles dickens and the portsmouth muslim academy. the course of the day. we've seen officers making door—to—door inquiries, sniffer dogs searching front gardens, a large amount of activity around the tent and also officers combing the bushes of a nearby park. i've been speaking to a resident who lives just a few doors down from the police corden. i couldn't believe it, to be honest, that... yeah. no one knows, obviously, the full story but i hope that if someone needs help, that they get it and, yeah, it's just horrible all round. it's not a nice situation for anybody. hampshire police say they are extremely concerned about the welfare of the mother of the child and they have released a statement making a direct appeal to her to get in contact with them. detective chief inspector simon baker has said, "i know this must be a very distressing time for you, "but i want to make sure you're getting the right help and care. "i understand you may be frightened but it's important that "you get in touch with us." police also want to hear from

interest of mine of which we know we didn't look anything and yes i know you know george orwell and dickensand this guy i think know them aspired to be like that but over the course of a year i would just go absorbed back into education after being in there for quarter century but education in a different form a 2nd you know university education isn't the same as a 2nd just rules a circle so i had some core skills some transferable skills as well so once i got into working with the heat working with the with the with the cohort i was just i was back where i belong. to or where mr lucy davis you were 16 years old when you spent your 1st night as a rough sleeper. tell us about go back to that night and what you felt a sense of. everything that i knew coming crashing around me sense of sheer panic complete disorientation. can be unknown or my anchor point points something we learned about the nexus course was suddenly just completely torn away. so sense of hopelessness feeling lost betrayed and completely uncertain as to what's going to happen to me now so simple for happen to you then all i s

i have to take out when the editor told me that charles dickens had already used that plot. maybe we could do with a rerun. but before we end, when all said and done, what you think reading your book has helped? answer, that's a tough one to lay on an author but i'll give it a go. first thing, i grew up as a blue-collar kid the rich and powerful. we are always a little fascinating but certainly mysterious. i'm hoping i'm speaking to people like myself having to maneuver things at the top. i hope i clarified the end of the day, even the grand and glorious face the problems we all do. one of the richest women in the world never could find the right man and she pretty much lifted from life trying to do good things, trying to purchase what she thought was a proper example. beyond that, while palm beach is almost impossibly grand and glorious, far beyond the kind of place most of us are likely to live in, you could say the same thing about the taj mahal. such places have come to be created for the even exist if inspirational in and of itself. the fact is, you can go down there ri

lou: one of the things that irritates the dickens out of me is to talk about whether he's giving jeromeng because he doesn't have a sense of markets and he raises interest rates. people save he has good instincts. he has great judgment and intellect. it's stunning to see the people who do not want to across knowledge the innate capacity of the man, his intelligence and his judgment. >> war and peace. that's what a historian looks like. it's been 40 years since a president has not started a war. it might be gra mada or libya or bosnia. they all invaded someone. not him. lou: to bring home troops as he says he will and he has. it's a difficult challenge in these times. your access to the president, how much did you have in what form. >> he allowed me to interview anybody i wanted. so i started -- it was pretty good. all the cabinet hostages. i interviewed the hostages. i started with the family and i couldn't get out of the family, they are so interesting. nobody had really interviewed jared extensively. i did. i have 600 pages of interviews with the family that are utterly fascinating. t

people over between every night for some public function and dinner and must've been amazing for henry dickensmes for dinner. but a lot of important brief politicians. he is never one of these shoulder squeezing modern politicians who loved politics but he's very smart at who was on his side and who is not. he's very clear that the land and party are snooty aristocratic and against the u.s. he is not one of these kind of people who finds schmoozing something that comes naturally. he's a very smart politician and knows how to play british politics. he could tell from his diary virtually every night who is there in the litigation. >> can you talk a little bit about charles francis is almost nomination in 1872. was that something that he did or did he really try to get it? >> the questions about charles francis senior in the so-called liberal republicans and 72. the quick story there which is in the book is that 1972 a lot of Ãpeople like the adams family in general really turned on grant, grant ran a very loose ship when it came to his cabinet and administration. the reformers want him gone. the

this article, basically thaddeus stevens, and this other guy named ben butler, it's right out of dickensnse. they basically put together an 11th impeachment article that is broader. so that they will have the broader outline of abuse of power in this particular case. so they have nine things having to do with the tenure of office act into, they are not technical and then the lawyers of the house of representatives who prosecute the case against johnson and the lawyers that johnson berries. and this is very wisely he hires with the help of his pal, william stewart, gets some really brilliant guys in there. one is been a supreme court justice. and they argued in the senate, meantime one of the thing, before i forget. the chief justice, who presides, who wants to be president. that's a lot of power. >> and the democratic nomination. in the republicans, would have him but even as he is presiding over the senate, or the trial, he is trying to get the democratic side. also, what about ben is in a funny and funny position. been waiting. >> thaddeus stevens and van is the most radical of the rad
