and i have to say kyle edmund could have beena have to say kyle edmund could have been a bit more aggressivemore aggressive, had the confidence that a top 20 player has, and once the won that's it, really the match was over. change the momentum of the match completely, didn't it? yes, on a clay court, even though it is edmund's best surface. he played the big points well, and especially that tiebreak, once he got a two set lead he was going to be very difficult, and kyle edmund did lose a bit of the lead at that point. so second match, dan evans up againstjeremy chardy, the pick of the captain to come in, beating out simon. it was a brave decision, and justified. absolutely, he was brilliant today. just so aggressive, the ball was so heavy of his shots. it looked to me like dan evans had nothing to hurt him. you felt for dan evans, because he was hitting the serves so big, chardy was heading back, scurrying behind the baseline for most of the match. he was speaking to him a lot during the match, and i was thinking stops speaking, he is playing amazingly well. he was comfortable from the firs

and it was a maiden meeting to forget for edmund who was dispatched in straight sets, 6—1, 6—4.ff out any chance of an edmund revival. richard gasquet‘s return to the tour after a two month lay—off ended in defeat to yuichi sugita. the 28—year—old sugita, ranked 91st in the world, only entered the main draw as a lucky loser and he‘s certainly made the most of his luck. after beating tommy robredo on monday he saw off gasquet 4-6 6-3 7-6. the french ninth seed, who underwent surgery for appendicitis in early march, blinked first in the final set tie—break. next up for sugita is pablo carreno bustas. that‘s all the time we have for now. you can get all the latest sports news at our website, that‘s bbc.com/sport. that includes a comprehensive report on chelsea‘s 11—2 win against southampton in the english premier league. but from me and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. hi there. it felt pretty chilly at times yesterday, didn‘t it? even cold enough for some snow on the ground up in the highlands of scotland. not bad going for late april. you can see the snow cover here at

kyle edmund lost in straight sets to lucas pouille.ten three sets to love byjeremy chardie. ifjamie murray and dominic inglot lose their doubles rubber to nicolas mahut and julien benneteau tomorrow, the tie will be over. i think the one thing is i have a lot of respect for dan. he loves playing for his country, he did it again today. he needs more time on the clay, today was always going to be difficult. realistically would probably needed a win from kyle to get us into the weekend. that would allow at least a free run at getting allow at least a free run at getting a match on clay which has not happened for a couple of years. it has not transpired that way so we will have to do it the extremely difficult way now. there's plenty of rugby union to tell you about tonight, starting with two games in the premiership. worcester couldn't hold on against sale — who won at the aj bell stadium but the bonus point try for worcester might be enough to keep them in the premiership. they're now clear of bottom club bristol. there were also two gam

thomas jefferson was a randolph, edmund randolph was a randolph.at one point when edmund randolph was the tenant governor there is another randall. jefferson's idea was not only that the futile land tenure should be eliminated so that gigantic landholdings should be broken up, that is so the market would allow for broader dispersion of landholding, he also proposed in his draft constitution for virginia in 1776 that if you were virginia man and to [inaudible] 50 acres of land you would be given 50 acres of land. virginia was a huge, open space extending to wisconsin. why not make everybody a small farmer by giving everyone a small farm. this is all a way of avoiding the question. we don't really know the answer. it's weird. we think about it. that somebody should've been born in the situation and decided has ever been a monarch against george washington. someone decided i could have supreme, executive authority but i don't want to. somebody like george washington decides i'm going to retire and establishes this important principle, presidents retir

if we turn the clock back almost 100 years when edmund a walsh created the school, in his opening address he said we train for law, medicine, why not train for foreign service. that was in 1919, about six years before the rogers act that created the u.s. foreign service. he had in mind training for global engagement. for many years, we built curriculum that was based on that, creating specialists in international affairs. over time we came to the realization that first of all, a smaller and smaller share of students were going directly into the foreign service itself and for our undergraduates we had less than 2% who go into the foreign service as a career path. they are going into all different fields. what we recognize in our curriculum is the recognition that you're not necessarily training international affairs specialist, you're trying to train globally minded citizens who will work in many different fields. we want to integrate a study of diplomacy and international affairs education into other skill sets. we created a major of business and international affairs. increasingly so muc

[laughter] i will handed over to the panel. chris: that is a good question. i would look at some of these resentmentsolitical that we are seeing against political institutions and elites as really a spectrum of his content that ranges from more to less. -- thehink that this is analytic challenge is how do you translate trends, which really are on a spectrum basis, to really focus on anticipating binary results on election day? i often think that we confuse the two. the analogy alike to make is even in sporting events, -- there was me on this analogy -- you have a tight basketball game. two teams are down to the wire. let's say that at the very end of the game it is tied. kevin durant for the warriors shoots. it goes in and they win. inevitably, pundits after the

take, for example, the duke of rockingham's country house, he was the patron of edmund burke, his country house was 650 feet long. that's longer than two football fields. compare that to william bird's estate which still exists on the james river westover 90 feet. 90 feet long. while charles carroll of maryland, one of the wealthiest families, one of the wealthiest planters in the american south was earning what americans were earning, a huge sum of 1,800 pounds a year. the earl of vast estates in england were bringing in an annual of over 40,000 pounds. by english standards americans aristocrats like washington and jefferson even with their hundreds of slaves remained mine -- minor gentry at best. and by the english measure of status, lawyers like john adams and alexander hamilton were even less distinguished. gentlemen no doubt, but nothing like the english no billbility vast scale of wealth was beyond anything that existed in north america. they were different from the english aristocracy. now the 18th century anglo-american enlightenment was preoccupied with what they called politenes

there was american prisoner of war master sergeant edmund who in a single moment of courageous defianceighteous among the nation arrest their life to save jews. the holocaust also gave new meaning to the word indifferen indifference. indifference. in 1944, jewish leaders pleaded with the allied powers, at a time when as many as 10,000 jews were being gassed to death, every day in auschwitz, a u.s. official infamously responded that such bombing, quote, might provoke even more vindictive action by the germans. allied leaders knew of the holocaust as early as 1942. millions might have been saved had action been taken sooner, but action wasn't taken. the brave american soldiers who liberated broken wall, dachau, and other concentrated camps saved many thousands but they arrived too late for many millions. ladies and gentlemen, much is unique about the holocaust. the holocaust is unique because all jews were targeted for extermination. and because that extermination was systematically planned and methodically executed. the holocaust is unique because this extermination was an end in itself

i want to bring in ed rollins, lee carter and edmund sigfreid.rikes the president launched against syria is getting broad support. ed * he met three world -- ed: , he met three world leaders and had an increasable meeting at the end of the week with the chinese president. he proved he's a decision maker. that's the most important thing a president can do. then he sent a good message to his own staff. straighten up and let's get moving. i think it was an a-plus week. maria: this might be the best week in his presidency so far. he gets an a-plus. maria: that's resonating with people as well. >> what people told me is they agree, across the aisle, that we had to do something about assad. there is no way we can do something about the middle east without dealing with assad. people said i like he was decisive and took action. he spoke to the american people as soon as it happened. it sent signals that we are not going to mess around in this country anymore, and we are excited about this. maria: it feels like the era of leading from behind has ended. >>

it strikes me as chapter refers to the death of edmund till in the fight that maybe till had to get justice for her son but how the death of that young man became the spark of the civil right movement. five years removed, what to think of the legacy of your son's life and death? and even the activism activism that has come up from the movements from the failure to connect george zimmerman ? if you think about that, what comes to mind? >> we definitely think of trayvon as a young man who galvanized this country. he brought many different cultures together under together for the fight for justice. just know that his name had structure to do with the resurgence or being a spark plug for a new civil rights movement, it means a great deal. when you speak of the civil rights there certainly has been an abundance of people that have come before us and put their lives on the line for us. it's tough to see how the new movement get with the young people getting involved in it certainly has a different meaning to it. we know that young people are involved, aren't afraid afraid to go to the streets and

a little better from the edmond edmund's.ember, we're comparing with a march of last year that was not terribly strong relative to other marches. the overall industry sales rate is expected to come in at 17.2, 17.3 million. which would be an improvement compared to march of last year. again, ford coming in with sales dropping 7.3%. car sales, this is the one that's going to get some attention dowhere, down 27%. it's peak autos we'll see the sales fall off a cliff from here. because we're a lot of warning signs out there. remember the number one indicator in terms of auto sales, consumer confidence. if that remains high, generally speaking, you will see auto sales remain relatively high. back to you. >> phil, we'll be coming back in a moment for gm. we have this discussion every month, and you resist the peak auto argument. >> i think employment and confidence go hand in hand. i think employment -- i don't know about this number. the march month because of what happened in washington may bring down consumer confidence, but phi

the philosophical founder of modern conservatism, edmund burke, was observed "nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because who he -- because he could only do it little." dr. martin luther king put it this way. "everybody can be great because anybody can serve. you don't have to have a college degree to serve. you don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. you don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. you only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love." our country needs leadership from private citizens, too. history teaches that private citizens, even acting alone, can make a profound difference. here are a few examples just from my time as a united states attorney. one investigative reporter began shedding light on a massive fraud. some of you may remember this. it was his reporting that set us on a path to uncover criminals ripping off new york city to the tune of $2 million. we got every penny back for new york city. one employee bravely blew the whistle on a massive kickback scheme at a pharmaceutical giant that

thomas jefferson was a randolph, john marshall was a randolph and at one point went edmund randolph was governor there was a lieutenant governor was another randolph. jefferson's idea here was not only that the feudal land tenure ship should be landholding to be broken up so that we'd say now the market would allow for broader dispersion of landholdings but he also proposed in his draft constitution for virginia in 1776 that if you are a virginia man and you did not own 50 acres of land, you'd be given 50 acres of land. virginia was a huge open space extending all the way to wisconsin. why not make everybody a small farmer by giving everybody a small farm. we have all this land? this is all a way of avoiding the question because we don't know the answer. it's weird, really, when you think about it. if someone had been born in a situation and decided has there ever been a monarch, george washington's the closest thing, someone who decided i can have supreme executive authority but i don't want to. so many like george washington decides i will retire establishes this very important princi

so i would remind my republican colleagues we put the nation first, to para phrase edmund burke, we owe our constituents more than our vote, we owe our constituents our conscience. i think these are grave high akes mters involving russia and putin in particular, and the american people, two-thirds of them would like to see us to get to the truth. that's why i think who else can do this is an independent commission that is above politics. lyndon johnson came into office with control of both houses of congress after the assassination of john f. kennedy and to put the nation at ease, he appointed an independent commission led by chief justice earl warren. this is a time-tested method to get the nation the full facts and a full accounting of the truth. >> because that's something that maybe presidents have used in the past as a paradigm to set the nation back right side up, it might not be something, that might be kryptonite to how president trump wants to operate, as he is the guy that wanted to go to d.c. and shake things up. from the house intel committee and the standpoint of your opini
