the issues around things like homophobia islamophobia and partisan politics ok but walter is the lack of knowledge of the ignorance and intentional ploy by the media because when it comes to these foreign policy issues and i'm thinking of and this n.b.c. scene and i mean that in some degree with fox obviously they're just an auger a 1st for power i thought they said they would never do that again but they had learned their lesson from the illegal invasion of iraq but they haven't learned their lesson at all as one fact it's even far worse now because as a result of 2003 a lot of people were essentially blacklisted banned from the airwaves and they're still banned because they talk about obvious things like breaking of international law i mean it's if the american people knew i think that they might think differently but they don't know walter. oh absolutely i agree with you i mean i think that it has to be and has for i mean how else could there be an absolute blackout on on all of the most important things going on. the world practically either either a blackout in the sense that it'

do you accept that your party had a problem with islamophobia?s, not the party as a whole. there are people that have been saying, thinking and doing things towards muslims in our party that are not acceptable, that is true of the labour party as well, in relation to anti—semitic comments. and we should have an independent investigation to look clearly into this. because it is not the kind of party we are, and it's not the kind of country we are all the kind of country we want to live in. if it's just a few members, why do you need an external investigation? to reassure people we are transparent, we have nothing to hide, and that we are absolutely unflinching in our condemnation of any type of racism. it doesn't matter if you are stereotyping, abusing or insulting someone on stereotyping, abusing or insulting someone on the basis of skin colour or their religion. that is not who we are as a people. we are one of the most diverse, welcoming societies on earth. we have an incredible tradition of liberty and respect, and courtesy. and all of us, ife

guys, shall we have an external investigation in the conservative party into islamophobia?t, they agree. some say that promise has taken too long. it has been a long, lonely and bruising battle. this has been going on forfour years now bruising battle. this has been going on for four years now but eyes take the small gains that are on offer and progress has been made, even if my parliamentary colleagues have come to the issue late, i'm relieved they finally have. action, though, is now being promised. we need to be absolutely resolute in tackling racism and prejudice of all kinds and, absolutely, there are people in the conservative party who we need to make sure appreciate the consequences of their actions. there are people who need to be rooted out of the party. we have been very vociferous in calling out jeremy corbyn and anti—semitism and if we are going to do that, and i think we are right to do that, then we have to be whiter than white ourselves. for now, there are five people left in the race to be pm. the member has called muslim women are the member has called mus

shall we have an external examination into the conservative party on islamophobia? absolutely.cellent. they agree. after the debate, michael gove proved that whatever his flaws, lack of self—confidence wasn't one of them. no, i won the debate. of course, his competitors would challenge that. as for rory stewart, he lost his tie during the debate, but had he also lost ground? tonight you were a bit lacklustre, weren't you? you're right. i didn't find that format really worked for me. by tomorrow we will know the final two who will have to face the wider party membership in a run off. borisjohnson will be there, but it's still not clear who else willjoin him. iain watson, bbc news. so what happens now? today there will be another ballot, with mps voting for their preferred leadership candidate between 3.00 and 5.00 this afternoon. the results will be annonced at 6.00, and the mp with the fewest votes will be eliminated from the race. more ballots are likely to take place tomorrow until the final two candidates remain. when there are only two left in the competition, the first hus

own problems that are reflective of society and if you accept that discrimination anti semitism islamophobiaf you accept that that exists in society then you have to accept that it will corrupt political parties and it's incumbent then on those political parties to deal with it the person who i always think should oncet questions in respect of anti semitism is ian mcnichol why did he not deal with these problems will a very fair former general secretary of the labor party who good opportunity to deal with on the seventy's and the start before it. became the problem that is now become failed now for whatever reasons others direct the questions towards jeremy when in fact it is not jeremy who is responsible for dealing with the complaints within the labor office directed towards supporters of jeremy really it is it mechanical who should be the questions as to why these problems were not dealt with in the 1st place but i've no doubt that jenny for b.s. and tell. but this i have no doubt that these complaints are being dealt with have no doubt that they're being dealt with expeditiously and i ha

christians and jews have paid lip service by saying they have 0 tolerance to islamophobia and and see muslim prejudice but this new poll confirms they face a real crisis. the 1st step to challenge this crisis should be a show of leadership from jeremy hunt and boris johnson they must both confront the racism of some quality members and the complacency of others thank. you alex i if you say the.

leadership candidate boris johnson about women wearing face veils led to a rise in reports of islamophobiaull face veils should not be banned, but it was absolutely ridiculous that women chose to "go around looking like letterboxes". he also compared them to look like bank robbers. he was later cleared of making the conservatives‘ code of conduct. because the words letterboxes and bank robbers were used about women wearing hats cards, not just the face veils. and again, that is where political leadership comes with responsibility, huge responsibility. because people look at that political leader and the words that political leader is using and people then reuse these grounds —— these words on the ground, in the streets. we do ask every single candidate that is coming out now and the leadership race really ensuring that they work on addressing issues within communities but also one being responsible in the language that they use. somebody henry says a lack of public diversity is undermining public broadcasters and driving people to seek better representation elsewhere. the actor and produce
