enforcement officers -- [microphone cut off] >> my name is mary, a former employee of the human rights commission. i worked 16 years for the city in various departments. because as you know, the human rights commission is a regulatory body. i worked those years with no promotion. i showed an attorney my personnel file, and she said well, why did they get rid of you? i said for various personal reasons. she's black, she doesn't support the things that the human rights commission supports so and so forth. and they took me off of all three jobs that i worked on, the last time they put me on, caused so much pressure on the optic nerves of my eyes that my primary doctor, took me off the job a year, and when i came back to work they destroyed the stuff in my cubicle, and do you think you can do the job if we put you back to work, and i don't know, we are going to send a questionnaire to your doctor as what you can do. doctor had stated don't increase the amount of typing, eliminate some of the typing, 8 to 10 hours a day is too much pressure on the optic nerve. what the department said, and this is d.h

today, a report came out from the equality and human rights commission, saying britain is at risk ofalarming backward steps in recent years. i would put it to you that the fixation that you and others have with sort of changing the course of brexit is diverting so much attention, political time, and resource from actually the issues that your career as a whole would suggest you care about most. on the contrary, stephen. parliament has now spent two years with only brexit dominating. if we are to exit the european union, the legislation in parliament to deal with the consequences of that will go on for another decade. and you‘re quite right. we need to fix education. we need to resource the nhs. we‘ve got a huge housing crisis here in london, and in much of the country. fundamental issues that we‘ve got to be getting on and dealing with. i‘m afraid, actually, what we should be doing is getting to the end of this relentless debate on our relationship with europe, and dealing with the profound problems, and i think the best way forward on that is actually a people‘s vote. let‘s talk abo

>> is the human rights commission at all engaged in this? it would seem to me that in areas of discrimination, the complaints would end up there, but proactively speaking, perhaps they might be able to offer some input in terms of the handbook itself. >> exactly. i think there was research -- outreach to that department as we started looking at how this would go. so they have been involved and will be involved and you are right. they will be -- they will be one of the resources available to residents of the facilities. >> i have a quick question related to that. is there any way there can be prioritized -- prioritization if we do do complaints? i don't know any in particular but a particular facility or something that may have had complaints. is there any way to prioritize trainings? do people think about if there are any particular agencies that may have had complaints about -- from its residents are people who weren't in those and felt like there wasn't sensitivity to their issues that would be the first priority for some of these training

in the last hour a spokesman from the united nations human rights commission office is called for saudi arabia to waive the vienna convention to allow an investigation to take place it prevents non diplomatic staff from entering embassies and consulates in view of the seriousness of the situation surrounding the disappearance of mystical surety the high commissioner believes ean viol ability or immunity of the relevant premises and officials bestowed by treaties such as the one thousand nine hundred sixty three vienna convention on consular relations should be waived immediately. under international law both of force disappearance and an extrajudicial killing are very serious crimes and immunity should not be used to impede investigations into what happened and who was responsible two weeks is a very long time a second day the work of kidnapped by boko haram in nigeria has been killed after a deadline set by the group expired. government says it's shocked by the death of who are lee man the nurse was with the international red cross she was kidnapped seven months ago in borno state alon

but going back to where i began, the record, a report from the equality and human rights commission today yielded very much. we are in a paradox. written at its best is a country where someone like me can advance and do well —— britain. it isa advance and do well —— britain. it is a country, relatively, in europe, which feels that it can be fair and that you can get a fair crack of the whip. but yes, there are forces in this country that want to take this country back. there are forces that believe the empire was good, and why we should reject the european union and recreate a new imperialism. it doesn‘t seem to understand britain‘s history, and britain‘s history is not just a history history, and britain‘s history is notjust a history of winning the war, and hitler, and of king henry and the henry is. it is a history also of colonialism and empire. there is good and there is bad in that story. and actually, modern britain, face up to that. be robust and honest about that. say we‘ve learnt from that, and actually the opportunity to be a multicultural country, at ease with its history and
