dr. stevens to present the ela and math data. >> commissioners, what we're looking at is a representation of the scores on s back for a variety of eth nice tease across the district. furthest to the left, the district aggregates has risen to 55% points. you will see for some demographic catagories there's been a small but stayed' increase over the last three years. and then more significantly, some ethnic groups you see the performance has remained steady or declined so this represents the widening of the gap by a few percentage points but it's still a widening of that gap. you will notice over to the left in the orange bar, that we've seen a different rates of improvements by level. we've experienced almost a 3% increase for elementary-skids students taking the sbac, relatively modest growth at the middle school level and a five and a half percent dip at the high school level. this represents only our 11th grade test takers. they're the only group required to take the sbac each year. for african american students we've seen the gain at the elementary level. we've seen losses, small losse

steven: for more on this topic we are joined by dr.ohn whitaker, professor at lancaster university in the u.k. italy says it will not be influenced by brussels rejection of its budget. what leverage does brussels really have in this case? john: it all goes down to the stability pact which has been around since the beginning of the euro. they made all kinds of tricks to make it work but stability factor has always been short of teeth. it does not bite. the ultimate sanction has always been to fine the country running excessive deficits, but no fine has ever been imposed. so, thyey try to rely on lots of surveillance, so-called excessive deficit procedure. makes it sound sinister. if it works at all is is probably by causing reputational damage to a country running a budget too great. steven: what about market pressure? italy's credit rating has been downgraded. what does that mean exactly in what kind of pressure doesn't put on italy's government? john: it does in the sense it has been raising the yield on the a time government's bonds.

and dr tim stevens is a lecturer in global security at king's college here in london.art with you, when we look at this picture of the car but with all the equipment in it, the computer and the antenna i and the batteries, are you any clearer what they were trying to do and how they we re they were trying to do and how they were trying to hack into the laboratory? it is a very dramatic set of pictures that seemed to show a group of operatives caught in the act. you have the antenna, the mobile phones, all sorts of equipment that looks like it is their to hack into the wi—fi of the chemical weapons organisation. their to hack into the wi—fi of the chemical weapons organisationm would feel a little bit cold war if it wasn't so johnny english. would feel a little bit cold war if it wasn't sojohnny english. you have this russian spy with the taxi receipt in his pocket, a mobile phone initiated outside the gru headquarters. why are they so heartless ? headquarters. why are they so heartless? it is a bit keystone cops but i think it perhaps underlines the sense of impunity.

i'm nowjoined by dr tim stevens, lecturer in global security and head of cyber security research groupy much for coming in. starting with the basics, close access attack, it has been described as, when we talk about cyber attacks... yes, we think about them being perpetrated from many miles distant, maybe even a different jurisdiction. but this is close access, that means operatives are up close and personal with the institution involved. as we have seen, not very discreet. do they even seen, not very discreet. do they eve n ca re seen, not very discreet. do they even care that they have left this? so brazen, the tradecraft so poor, that one wonders if they wanted to be discovered, as it were, does not reflect well on their professionalism, certain elements of the intelligence states. what evidence does it make, the russians keep saying, nothing to see here, this is a fantasy. the russians will deny this as they have denied everything else. the point in attribute in publicly the ger you —— -- gru is attribute in publicly the ger you —— —— gru is to demonstrate to the world that russia

dr. jerry rabinowitz, the brothers, and daniel stein. his nephew, steven hallie told nbc news peter alexander today that he felt it was a stab in the back when donald trump said that the mass murder could have been completely prevented if the tree of life synagogue had just one armed guard somewhere on the premises. >> this is a case where they had an armed guard inside, they might have been able to stop him immediately. >> donald trump should have just said, you know, our hearts and prayers go out for the people of pittsburgh and everybody involved and kept his mouth shut. >> you felt like he was blaming the community? >> that's exactly what it felt like. >> steven hallie said his family refused a condolence visit from the president today. air force one was on the ground for over three hours in pittsburgh today. but the president spent only 13 minutes in the tree of life synagogue where they were welcomed by rabbi jeffrey meyers who didn't invited the president but had always said he would welcome the president to visit the synagogue if the president did

. >> reporter: principal steven stevenson had a dream, to display a statue of dr. king at martin luther king jr. junior high school. it took six years but that dream is a reality. she hopes the statue will remind students of the history of segregation and desegregation right at this school. 92-year-old curly jackson remembers when they shut the school down back in the 1950s as a supreme court ordered all schools across the country to desegregate. 3 the children, about predominant white schools, and that didn't go very well, but we made it work. >> reporter: many community members told us the statue helps remind them of dr. king's message and his impact on their university. he spoke to all the had for everyone and that every one of us had to take a part in making that dream come true. >> #morethanastatue. >> reporter: eighth grader clearly gets the deeper meaning in this tribute. >> i can do whatever i want to do, i can be whatever i want to be. >> we all need each other and we're really not that much different. >> jackson says it was frightening during the time of

stevens. and, madam president, even setting aside those major issues before dr. ford's allegations came out, before we saw more of judge kavanaugh in those hearings, i opposed his nomination because it was so clear he was picked by president trump for a few key reasons. specifically, he would overturn roe v. wade and erode women's health care. he would gut health care reform and end protections for patients with preexisting conditions, and he would protect president trump with his disturbingly expansive view on presidential power which is particularly dangerous when we have a president under investigation with members of his campaign and administration going to jail and facing indictment. madam president, that's not all we know about him, but we know those things and to me that was enough to make my decision. so i do oppose judge kavanaugh. and i hope we can do the right thing here in the united states senate today. but madam president, i want to spend the rest of my few minutes this morning making a different point and not just to my colleagues but to the people

dr. christine blasey ford because of a democratic party conspiracy that included what brett cav that you called revenge on behalf of the clintons. justice stevens was horrified by what brett kavanaugh had to say, not in brett kavanaugh's denial in the accusations against him, but in the accusations brett kavanaugh made about so many people who were out to get him, and justice stevens said that meant brett kavanaugh could not be trusted to be an impartial supreme court justice on cases that might involve the large range of people in organizations that brett kavanaugh attacked in his own confirmation hearing. senator murkowski did not mention john paul stevens in what she had to say tonight. but surely ever member of the senate knows exactly what justice stevens said yesterday because it's the first time a retired supreme court justice has ever publicly opposed the nomination of a new supreme court justice. here is some of what senator murkowski had to say. >> i have a very high bar for any nominee to the supreme court of the united states. the code of judicial conduct rule 1.2 -- this is one that many, many people in this body know. but it state

lyse doucet, the bbc‘s chief international correspondent, michael stevens is an expert in middle east politics and a friend ofjamal's, and drys before he disappeared. welcome, all of you. what is the latest, frank, on these extraordinary reports that it is being claimed their recordings from inside the embassy that prove he killed? the media is braced to hear exactly what this recording actually tells, what it will tell us. there are two explanations of how it could have come about, if it exists, as the turkestan officials claim. one is that jamal khashoggi was wearing an apple watch in communication with the mobile phone held by his wife outside. that was in communication until it stopped. it is possible a recording can be downloaded from a server that would indicate what was going on inside the consulate building. the second, and hear the turks have been slightly equivocal, is there is a possibility that they had some kind of access to what was going on inside the saudi consulate in istanbul, either monitoring or a human informant. neither of these is confirmed. it has been ten days and although the onus is absolutely on

dr. ford and to survivors of sexual violence everywhere. it's not helped that his patron, the president of the united states, continues to deride victims of sexual violence. former justice john paul stevens, a republican appointee, actually the first nominee i was able to vote on as a united states senator -- and i voted for -- this republican appointee, well-respected supreme court justice, declared that judge kavanaugh's unhinged performance last week demonstrates potential bias. justice stevens said that for the good of the court, judge kavanaugh's confirmation ought not to proceed. just yesterday, contrary to the statements made on the floor of the senate, the american bar association announced that it's reopening its evaluation of judge kavanaugh's fit hness to serve as a judgment -- fitness to serve as a judgment. these developments should serve as a flashing warning sign to any senator. there are more flashing warning signs. dr. ford's credible testimony captivated a nation and inspired victims of sexual violence across the country. every minute of her testimony was credible. shee disclosed the abuse long before judge kavanaugh was a household name. she remembered vivid details of
