americas they also brought their civilization their culture and so the fact that this museum war howell's the cultures in civilizations of black people worldwide i think that's one of the most exciting aspects of it for the moment to profess god i would have to leave it there thanks very much feel tied to washington d.c. controversial museum that exposed belgium's colonial past is ramping up to being close for a year it comes. like in the democratic republic of congo and the museum written some artifacts the touch of butler the polls. for more than a century this opulent museum outside brussels was a symbol of belgium's colonial past it was created by king leopold the second with wealth amassed from his kingdom's plunder of congo its exhibits portrayed africans as savage and primitive hundreds of congolese people were put on display in a human zoo but there is no mention of the fact that millions of people were enslaved or killed by their oppresses of them till twenty years ago belgium didn't have any critical reflector ryssdal on your past and nobody really questioned about how did googl

conservative mpjohn howell told mps that at one dinner party he went to, if guests mentioned the word rum as punishment. while i would love that to be a case here i suspect it will not occur. labour peer martha osamor, mother of mp kate, joins the lords, bringing the total in the house to 793 and counting. if you were worrying about how to do the perfect flounce, watch the leader of the house of commons andrea leadsom, as she knows exactly what to do. it's something like that. mike ashley reassures the committee he is in fact a mere mortal. before anybody says it, i'm not comparing myself to god. debating until the early hours of the morning did not dampen the spirits of ministers who were still able to crack a few jokes at each other‘s expense. the first brexit secretary lasted 24 months, the second five months, so i'm hoping that the new occupant of the post can at least make it through to oral questions on thursday. that's it from me for now, butjoin keith mcdougall on bbc parliament on monday night at 11pm for the start of what promises to be a truly historic week at westminster.

s to renegotiate or even scrapped the agreement let's go live now to jonah howell he's at westminster outside the houses of parliament and jonah first of all this is c.j. ruling it's a confirmation basically of what we'd already had before coming from one of the advisory members the britain can counsel the process if it wants how does this help if at all mrs may. what well yes i mean this is a full judge panel of the confirming that advised by the advocate general last week it's pretty significant if he's saying look the u.k. is able unilaterally to get out of this article fifty clause revoke it cancel breaks it and walk away and crucially do so with exactly the same deal that it has now and that's interesting because it contradicts the arguments of a number of very senior pros ministers who said look be careful of this idea of revoking article fifty there's no way we'll be able to return to the status quo we won't be offered the same concessions that we've fought for in achieve over the years and you will rebate no membership of the shango zone no membership of the euro and so on wit
