you were born in gambia to a muslim family, you studied law in nigeria, then you returned to gambia into work as a public prosecutor. why did you want to go into law? i believe it is my — this, you know, sense of right and wrong, and justice — that's something which is just in me. and the fact that i also grew up in a community where you really see that there are some people, maybe the vulnerable in society, as we call women, children, who actually do not receive the protective embrace of the law. and i was exposed in a community where i have seen this, where i have seen, especially women, undergo domestic violence. and nowhere to turn to. because the parents always tell them that it is the right of the husband, for instance. if you go to the police, they will say it's a civil matter and that they cannot interfere. and i had the opportunity also to serve as a clerk of court in the high court of the gambia, and this again exposed me to, really, some of the horrors that befell these women — domestic violence. and ijust made up my mind at a very early age that this is something i want to

i've been talking to many of those who make the dangerous journey, often from countries such as gambiand from eastern parts of africa. these are young men who often head out into the unknown across africa, who arrive in libya, which is currently in the civil war. from there they set off on a dangerous journey into the unknown, where they get rescued and they arrive in these tiny, cut—off, isolated towns after they get rescued in italy. italy is not coping with this crisis. the italian prime minister paolo gentiloni described it as "unbearable", and in the last few days there has been a conference in tunis between african and european ministers, and also italy has said in the last few days that it may shut its ports to rescue boats. also, italy has threatened to actually give migrants who are in limbo in these southern towns in italy and sicily visas to head north. in retaliation, austria has said they may send a battalion of troops to the italian border, to stop the influx of people heading north. we will talk about the responsibilities of other eu countries, the fact italy says it can

phyllis wheatly has been enslaved on the west coast of africa, probably in gambia and brought to the new world in the 1750s as a young girl, maybe 8 years old. she was sold to a family by the name of wheatly in massachusetts. and the daughter in the family caug taught her to read and write. and she had a real natural talent for writing verse. and of course at the time this was an extraordinary development. so much so that there were those as she began publishing pieces in the newspaper and they began to be circulated, there was actually a trial held in boston where people like john hancock and other significant figures in the community were brought together to basically put her on trial, ask her questions, to try to determine if it was possible that this african-american woman could have written poetry like this. of course she passed. and they actually wrote a testimonial saying they believed she, in fact, had been the talented writer who produced this poetry. in 1773, she travelled to london and this volume was published. it's also remarkable in that we have an engaved image presuma

doctrine in the limelight i think perhaps may not be correct you know recently we had a situation in the gambia which i think where. the president who had lost the election was refusing to leave and i think in cooperation with the african union in cooperation with the regional countries particularly synagogue we were able to find a good solution and as you see it under a time step that one country where such a good solution could not be found is syria and i know that the united nations throughout the syrian conflict has been nurturing some contingency plans for syria some countries wanted and were active here in all some countries wanted a last active u.s. presence. those plans were never fully realized and i wonder if the fully fledged syrian operation is still on the cards do you think there is a necessity for the un peacekeepers in syria. remember i think there has to be a peace agreement before there can be deployment of peacekeepers and you know the special representative of the secretary general mr stefan mr keeps on trying to bring the parties together in collaboration of course with the

beirut in their operating different supermarket chains called supermarkets out of gambia in sierra leone. and so in the water filter when a wire comes in if it says tajik oh it will get stopped but what do you see with these geniuses figured out which is the. add little dots or dashes to the actual name the payment wouldn't match and the pain it would go through and that's what i call what they were doing because i was like wow are all these payments going through when they're supposed to be stopped and then that's when i realized this was the absolute criminal operation and later on actually what the ended up doing was firing all these debt collectors in the other side of the building and hundreds of them and then they rehired them as and some money laundering compliance officers would know in my experience nothing and they just had them clearing transactions all day long. but again going back to your question i i saw the there was an immersion in national security issue that needed to be a trust. and i couldn't go to the f.b.i. because they hired a former counterintelligence f.b.i. age

reign, the queen has been lavished with more than a few exotic gifts, from baby crocodiles in the gambiaing of the state rooms. they include a strip of french lace from the official opening of the eurotunnel. and these vip passes, should she need them, to the commonwealth games in glasgow. the queen is the most travelled monarch in british history and there are priceless gifts here from more than 100 overseas countries and territories. there's even a little something from nowhere on earth. this badge was presented by the astronaut tim peake, it's the first unionjack to be worn in the vacuum of space. her other famous admirers include nelson mandela, who gave her this silk scarf. and from presidentjohn f. kennedy, a signed photograph ofjohn f. kennedy. the queen, of course, has one obvious passion, and visitors will quickly notice a theme emerging. well, there have been several gifts of live horses during the queen's reign, clearly none of which are shown in the exhibition, but also objects relating to horses. so, porcelain horses, an example of her riding horse burmese in bronze, and exa

connor gambia brel looking at the brighter side of things, bull pen can't blow a lead if you never starts. sorry, connor they eventually did start the game at 10. 10 p.m. in fact, they had to bring in a backup anthem singe because the original singer left rather than sit through the delay. listen to tom davis pulling back and doing a great job. plenty of seats still available, this girl not pleased to have been standing there for about three hours. the fan whose did stick around, well, they got to see one strike out and nats and braves tied so far. >> more bad news for the nats. anthony rendone fell just short of an all star spot. he was up for the final vote and came in behind justin turner and chris davis. it would have been nice with the year that anthony rendon is having. i can't believe they started the game. it's amazing. i just saw a picture from somebody who is at the game tonight. it just start ed. people were complaining there was a delay because there was too much hashtag nationals, the no rain delay, that's a good hash hashtag. i feel sorry for whoever has to man the tweets.

some girls, who originate from places like gambia and somalia, are taken there during the holidays to. so what did the nine—year—olds take away from the session? it's done because of their culture, and it could hurt them. it causes different feelings like anger, depression, sadness. they thought it was the right thing to do, but now they banned it and they are trying to stop it. they figured out it's not the right thing to do. but now they've banned it cos they've figured out it is not the right thing to do. west midlands police want more schools to do the same, because the number of girls who live here and have been cut is particularly high. however, questions are being asked as to why nobody has been convicted for carrying out the procedure when it's been illegalfor decades. a prosecution may send a really clear message to communities. however, we don't take children off all families, understanding that this may be something that's not against the law in the country of origin maybe cultural to that family, but if they are living in the uk and the children go abroad and are cut, it's
