this is esther, a 36-year-old fafarmer who lostt h her husbana sand harvester whoho died at wo. >> it hapappened on the seventhf march, 2014. he was scooping sand to sell. as they were scooping sand and digging underground, the soil above him fell down and buried him. reporter: esther is opposed to sand harvesting which has caused an almost permanentnt drought in the regioion but she knows manyf these men who make just a few dollars a day feel they have no choice. >> the problem that we have is that there aren't any jobs and we have families. we have needs. we are human beings and we try hard to get jobs but we just don't get them. reporter: john says s it's a tragedy that men like matthew are being used by the cartels and have becomee complicit in destroying the lives in their communities. he's asking men to stand up. brent: 30 years ago today a scientist named tim berners-lee put the idea for the worldwide web on paper. he showed it to his boss who liked to and the rest is cyber history. >> the ability of just about anyone to contact everyone anywhere in the world is down to this ma

they are on the table but i would like to remind you that recently it was a meeting between esther putin, are ministry of defense and mr. lavrov where my president made it clear that we are waiting signal from american side, whether america is ready, not reluctant to understand and urgency to discuss all relative issues regarding arms-control and nuclear disarmament. and he said, and even today i can urge, i mean the united states to start a decision because it is prohibited now by my president. he said that all our proposals are on the table of negotiations. we will not try to persuade our colleagues to speed up this process. we will be waiting an answer from the american side, when and how we could start discussion on all these issues. >> i'm curious to know, ambassador, how you view the result of the recent hanoi summit. if we can turn the page and look at north korea for a moment. >> we have not yet even touch problem of arms control and disarmament, but you see that i'm in your hands, that's why i will obey your order -- >> i'm so sorry. >> i can stay here for longer periods up to y

it seems to have worked for esther mcveigh.binet as work and pensions secretary over the deal is basically now said that she is going to vote for the deal when it comes back at the time, but you've got to remember that theresa may lost both of her votes on the deal based local margins. the first time around, she lost it by the biggest margin any prime minister has ever lost on, the second time she lost it by the fifth—largest loss ever. loads and loads of mps had to change their minds, think it is about 73 mps who need to change their minds. so if you get the dup, you still have a very long way to go. talking of the prime minister, the daily telegraph did. yeah, 0k. theresa may told to fall on her sword as the price for the deal to pass, this is according to two senior downing st figures, unnamed. so this is the idea that aides have said to theresa may if you set out exactly when you're going, if you promise people that you are going to go pretty quickly, then i think people would get behind you and back your deal. so they are

i am esther. this. iam esther. i this. i am esther. i am an eu national.twice over because living in this country i have been affected by the repercussions of brexit that are already happening and wanted —— once it is decided, how we are leaving. i am also personally affected with regards to my status. when i moved here it was before free movement. i was given indefinite leave to remain. that was, as i see it, my agreement with the uk. i live accordingly. i work, agreement with the uk. i live accordingly. iwork, i have family here, i made my life here. and all ofa here, i made my life here. and all of a sudden after the referendum all of a sudden after the referendum all of that is thrown into the air. you don't know what your future is? there is no clarity. there is a feeling of being in limbo. not knowing if it will be with a deal or without a deal is a problem.” knowing if it will be with a deal or without a deal is a problem. i am going to ask you all who you want to be the next british prime minister. so how popular are theresa may and jeremy corbyn w

was on the christian broadcasting network and well, he said he thinks the comparison of trump to esther, if you know your biblical history, it would be a natural. >> could it be that president trump is raised just like queenequee queen esther to help the iranians. >> we were down in the tunnel where we could see 2,000 years ago or 3,000 years ago if i had the history just right. and the work that our administration done to make sure this jewish state remains. i am confident that the lord does not work here. >> trump like ester saving the iranian people from the iranian menace. ali. >> i don't want to giver anybody a history lesson here. ester was the first jewish queen in iran. some of that history have not been told properly. again, this is history to suit their narrative. it is a very famous story and i urge people to go read it for what it actually is. katy. >> josh, do you want to add to that? >> it is an interesting choice to bring that history into pompeo and someone who has identify with the christian community evangelical and the biblical community, he got in hot water a few day

still, that amount is mall, compared to what esther lucas got started., the sunnyvale girl scout made a single two-minute speech to her city koup, introducing the idea of a play ground for children of all abilities. it sparked a discussion that eventually led the city to designate close to $2 million to build one. since then, another $2 million in donations has come in, and they are ready to break ground their year on magical bridge sunnyvale. then in september we shared the story of a unique and touchingl. she learned one of the her.s she decided to co and they beca fast friends. they even came up with new ideas. and now, if you visit stone ridge creek you will see utility boxes painted by morgan based on photographs by ray. and i told you about the girl scout, she has written a hand-written thank you note to every single person who's donated. >> it's always fun to see and have a look back at all the good. and it's contagious. >> if people want to watch every story we've done, go to our website, nbc bay area.com/bay area proud, you will see all of them

esther newton, who just wrote a wonderful great -- a great book. there's a great book by martin, which is an oral history he did with five participants. one of whom was a guy named craig rotman who is now dead, but he started the first lesbian and gay bookstore in new york. the oscar wilde bookstore. which was next door to the stonewall in. -- stonewall inn. there's a gentleman who's a big activist at the time. he is still alive and he is still very politically active in new york, particularly on behalf of elderly gay and lesbian people who are having housing issues. steve: your work is available online. outhistory.org. explain the site. prof. potter: it was started by another great person to talk to about the stonewall riots, who is a historian who trained himself. he wrote a book called "gay american history" published in 1974 that was first history of lgbt people in the united states. and he did it during research at the new york public library. continued writing history books, but at a certain point he wanted to create a history spike that -- h

the i says brexit is a "mission unaccomplished", adding that conservatives like esther mcvey, borisjohnsone all in a contest to lead the party. and according to the mirror, declan donnelly considered dropping his tv partner ant mcpartin after he was caught drink—driving. so brexit dominating most of the front pages. let's see what our reviewers make of it all. britain faces election risk as mps crush the brexit deal, really close apparently, one government source is saying. the gap that is right, yes, theresa may is said to have put the country on election alert, she certainly indicated as much in parliament when she said that, you know, the process is basically reaching, it is narrowing, she is running out of options, and i think most of parliament would agree with that a she is now thought to be going to attempt to put her deal through parliament again, because they were and crushing defeat it has received three times is apparently not enough! and, yeah, so after that, there is really no road left, apart from either an election or a second referendum. 0k, apart from either an election or

the book of esther is the only book in the bible that doesn't mention god. the mordecai acts in a clever way to save the jewish people. god might be involved, but christians see it differently. it's best to keep it best that the divine is on one side out of politics. to be fair to pompeo, he's asking a question from a religious broadcaster. maybe he's trying to get out of the conversation. that's one thing. it's another thing to say -- if i can obsess on this -- one of our two major parties is anti-jewish. not just democrats, i'm sure how they're going to respond. how do other republicans responds? >> we know the answer to that, though. but the president has said this before. >> if you were a decent person in the democratic party, they're anti-jewish. >> he has said they're anti-jewish. he says he hates jewish people when he was in a fundraiser. >> how could you work with democrats? how could one have a bipartisan agreement on anything? one of our two major parties is hostile to the religion to which one belongs, you'd have to be dedicated to destroying that

the analogy with iran was to that saying can president trump be the queen esther?. iranian hezbollah is part of the government and the parliament. they've just sanctioned other iranian entities claiming they could be reconstituting a weapons program. the pressure is on iran from this administration. and they're doing everything they can for netanyahu. >> andrea live for us in jerusalem. >> we didn't think we'd still be talking about the president's attacks on mccain. the president cannot let it go. he does not seem to remember he's the one who reig natnited attacks over the weekend. >> he was horrible with what did with repeal and replace. what he did to the nation was not good. i'm not a fan of john mccain. >> he's dead. he can't punch back. >> i don't talk about it. people ask me the question. i didn't bring it up. you brought it up. >> but it was president trump who brought it up. first on twitter, and then again in a manufacturing event in ohio recently. now six days later, members of his party and another member of john mccain's party is saying enough is enoug

. >> next we have -- >> reporter: still, even that amount is small compared to what esther lucas got started. >> good evening, mr. mayor. >> reporter: in 2017 the sunnyvale girl scout made a single two-minute speech to the city council introducing the idea of a playground for children of all abilities. it sparked a discussion that eventually led the city to designate close to $2 million to build one. well, since then, another $2 million in donations has come in and ready to break ground this year on magical bridge sunnyvale. >> clash if iing the details. >> reporter: then in september, a story of a unique and touching collaboration. morgan is a muralist. while painting a huge landscape at stone ridge creek senior living, she learned a resident was an avid nature photographer. she decided to incorporate his work into hers. and the two became fast friends. they even came up with some new ideas. and now, if you visit stone ridge creek, you will see utility boxes painted by morgan based on photographs by ray. >> we love our garvin thomas bay area proud stories. happening torp, san franci

be that president trump right now is been sort of raised for such a time as this just like queen esther to help save the jewish people from an iranian menace as a christian i certainly believe that's possible for a long time israel was a sacred cow in america criticism of israel was reserved for forces labelled to be extremist whether on the far left or the far right but in twenty twenty america seems to be in a new era cable mop and artsy new york. news that will take over in around thirty minutes time with the updates as much to come here on on t. international next it's sophie and co. and when else should seem wrong. why don't we just don't call. me. yet to see out the state becomes active. and engaged with equals betrayal. when somebody find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. you know world a big part of newton's laws and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bats and shouting past each other it's time for critical t

sadly esther passes away. he is at this pivotal point in his life, does he go back to illinois or stay in pasadena? by now he has fallen in love with pasadena and decides to open a bookstore in the community. he sells his beloved book collection to raise the capital to start the store. that is how it got started. romans is such a unique bookstore. part of that is the fact that we have been around so long, that we have been able to survive for 125 years through difficult times tells you a lot about the store. it very much shapes the culture of the store. part of that is you have customers -- the history of their families. we have customers shopping with us since they were five years old. i told the story of one of our customers who is in her 90's and chopped here -- shopped here since she was five years old. do much continuity like that you have in your life anymore? one of the things we offer here, we print wedding invitations. haveve bridges , -- brides, and we do their invitations and their mother's invitati

esther mcveigh there, the former cabinet minister, joining the march.... —— end. numbers are tiny compared to the march for... -- end. well, the organisers would say it is a different kind of march. well, you would, if you do not have the numbers, you would make any kind of story to... that they are suddenly determined that group, the telegraph's editor, the guardian uses the adjective desperate, it is a catchall for the way theresa may is facing at the moment, that is one thing they can unite on. we were looking at the commentary by alison pearson on the whole, because she wa nted pearson on the whole, because she wanted to be celebrating on friday night the glass of champagne. as a leaver? as a leaver. she is now going to be having a nurofen. but i think that is probably whether you are a remaineror think that is probably whether you are a remainer or leaver, you are going to be needing to have a nurofen. also pointing out that she feels david cameron being in charge of the negotiations, we would not have been in this position and kind of squarely put

for the prime and esther is saying must be heard -- what the prime minister is saying must be heard. prime minister may: i have written to the president of the eu council, informing him that the u.k. is asking for extension until the 30th of june. copies of the letter by being placed in the library of the house. the government intends to bring foreign proposals for a meaningful vote. and if it is passed, the extension will give the house time to consider a withdrawal bill, if not they would decide how to proceed. -- as prime minister, i am i am not prepared to delay brexit any further than the 30th ofer until the 30th of june. [shouting] >> will do it prime minister welcome oil and gas uk support today predicting 200 billion of new investment in the sector tax supported by this government fiscal policy and direct contrast to the failure to stimulate the scottish economy? >> can i say to my honorable friend that the chancellors spring statement last week showed this is indeed a government that is delivering for scotland. he mentions the issue of fiscal policy of oil and gas. we've als

be the president trump right now it's been sort of raised for such a time as this just like queen esther to help save the jewish people from an iranian minnes as a christian i certainly believe that's possible for a long time israel was a sacred cow in america criticism of israel was reserved for forces labelled to be extremist whether on the far left or the far right but in twenty twenty america seems to be in a new era cable mop and r.t. new york. ukrainian authorities have been involved in special operations which they knew in advance could result in a large number of civilian casualties at least that's according to a former employee of the ukrainian security service who has been cooperating with moscow so let's get more on this now with the sort of man close to death he says the press conference today but i'm what i said. well the man's name is. off and he claims that he's been working with the russian secret services for the last five years right after the government coup in kiev in that's when fifteen russia's foreign intelligence service are yet to comment on his statement that he

esther for the time being i think you see being eight oz decided that this is the most. weight i met with them you go on that and now the t. l. t. r. rose. there you know that the initial reaction was pretty sitive because it was that hello expo right. well you see that okay your he's dropping out but then the the equity market is rallying. but i as you start to you you know just talk about that how can send the ecb is. about the growth i think that just -- it was at that particular moment the traders decided to ke the profits off the table. the currency markets reacted swiftly we saw the euro dropping to its lowest level in four months -- trading at about one twelve to thdollar -- you can see the tre figures there's also down against the british pound. down before cast also weighed on the stock markets -- we sought losses about between four and for the major european indices banking stocks lost about 2% across the board in europe. well she's been following that negative trend in really accelerating its losses in the last hour or so of trading. the dow jones down about t

the snow i think john might have mentioned it yeah he gestured teacher esther to the buildings whenever he got quite frustrated i think at our reaction. and he gestured to the windows in the room and said our people in the buildings around here he don't even want me to do this to meet with the family to give to silva to give a review that the people who would meet him on top level don't go further and give the inquiry that we've campian for to resume is now prime minister only only because she is allied to the people which was formerly linked to those accused by just silva and others off carrying out the assassination of your father and your husband you can understand why the prime minister now specifically she wouldn't have an inquiry now well he wouldn't well we understand that there are press and political realities for trees a man or government to deal with and the build up and the lead up to that and they may do their best to ignore us they come back northern supreme court they can't ignore the daiquiri and that has been made at the british government no matter who is in par house

in fact, one prominent brexiteer, esther mcvey, former work and pensions secretary, who quit the governments now minded to vote for it and others might have to think about doing the same. so the effort is clearly on trying to salvage that deal. there are talks taking place today between the government and dup, who are crucial in this, happening as we speak in whitehall. the focus is again on the issue of the backstop, that plan to avoid checks on the irish border, whether or not there can be any interpretation of the legal advice that may give the uk a way out of that may give the uk a way out of that if it so chose. but don't underestimate the fact that this deal has been kicked out resoundingly twice and it will not be easy for theresa may to change mps' mines in a few short days she has. alex, one of the government's biggest public service providers, thank you. one of the government's biggest public service providers, interserve, is expected to go into administration, after shareholders failed to approve a restructuring plan. interserve holds contracts for a range of services in prisons,

i recognize giving this how they vote and if the house votes again, she will look at esther instead ofthe backstop giving -- what most british voters want. >> as i said yesterday in answer to a question from harlow, the first is to bring back a meaningful a vote the command across the house such that we leave with a deal. the arrangements in the declaration have significant benefits in relation to customers but also provide an independent trade policy and free movement. my honorable friend talks about trust in politics, those are important elements of what people voted for in 2016 and deliver on that. >> the prime minister previously committed to a meaningful vote on the brexit deal. and committed to that meaningful vote that called it at the last minute. the words government defeat in history, and carried on regardless. other than her word, we will vote to stop a vote to stop a no deal brexit before 29 march. >> i said clearly they either repeated it, what the government will follow. we are working to ensure to bring back the deal and she talks about rejection of the meaningful vote a

it's it just seems that there's more of a cohesiveness and i don't even think the younger generation esther looks and says you're a girl and i'm a guy i think that's maybe our generation that still says or you know our generation is still in charge so if you don't answer that is interesting and helpful. to them. i think there is a group which we should we use which we should have a dialogue which was. a mage a minority of whites of a white elite especially men who are now losing power and opportunities and everything but they're still extremely powerful and so the leverage they have also on. women who tried to change the world is quite quite big and this is a confrontational situation which we will have to deal with in the future. yeah i mean. for me it's yes one thing it's about education but it's also about the way we talk to our children it's about the way which which example we get to our children because these structures will not change by themselves i don't believe that we need to give the frame and actually say it as it is that we live in this somehow sexist society and that we need

they live look esther drucker shows were other yellow and orange is popping up on the map.se of the heavier showers coming in right now. division in, that is what i'm a little concerned about the baseball game. we have rain rolling through here. also going to oakland. if we move a little further to the south, you see it is of mov now. the trajectory is that it is heading right towards the northeast direction. is going to head right across the bay. we are up in the north bay were the heavy rain earlier. now they are just dealing with the clouds and staying relatively dry. this is going to go on throughout the rest of the not. temperatures will drop down to the 40s and 50s. you will see the shower start to taper off everywhere as we get into the later evening hours. tomorrow we start to dry out. much warmer temperatures. check this out in san jose. 67 degrees for the hunt up tomorrow. we practice for to show you how this works out. the system starts to push over toward the east. that we're looking good as you wake up at 7 am.  until we get to the next system which is coming

they arrive in pasadena and they start to life here and sadly, esther passes away. and he is at this pivotal point in his life where he has to make a decision. does he go back to illinois or stand pasadena? this point is not fallen in love with the city of pasadena and he sees as a terminus opportunity and decides to open a bookstore in the community. he sells his beloved book collection to raise the capitol to open the store. and that's how we got started. bromans is such a unique extra. part of it i think is the fact that we've been along so long. just that we been able to survive through difficult times tells you a lot about the store anything very much shape the culture of the store. and part of that is that your customers who were part of their, the history of their families, we have customers that shop with us who been shopping with us since they were five years old. i was told the story of one of our customers who is in her 90s now and she shucked her since she was five years old. i mean weighty of continuity like that in your life anymore? so to be part of t

could it be that president trump right now has been raised to such a time like this just like queen estherremarkable history of faith in this place and the work our administration has done to make sure the democracy in the middle east and this jewish state exists, there is divine work here. lou: pastor, all i can think is god helps those who help themselves. this president, no one has worked harder than he has to achieve the successes of the first two years of his presidency. your thoughts about pompeo's suggestion that god made sure he was the right person in the right place for the jewish people? >> secretary pompeo is exactly on target. the reason the left ridicules this idea is first of all they don't believe in god. or the god they do believe in is is -- is the god their imagination. and the left hates israel and they hate donald trump even more. but fortunately the god we serve doesn't rule according to popularity polls but according to his divine plan, and his plan has always been to protect israel. this great president is on the right side of history and the right side of god in hi
