and, isuppose, you have the sort of tough rhetoric on the one side and then this...inking about elton john... that has beenjoked about by the metro in the caption. it is interesting, this silly name—calling, on the one hand, making serious points about the kidnapping, the oppression, the com pletely u na cce pta ble kidnapping, the oppression, the completely unacceptable practice is happening in the pariah state of north korea. on the other hand, this rhetoric is... it is quite over the top. seeks to undermine the very serious point, usually you have euphemistic language, talks of neutralising a threat, seeking to contain an aggressive nation. threatening to totally destroy another country is just insanely aggressive. is it the kind of language the russians and the chinese might understand? and in fa ct, chinese might understand? and in fact, playing to his home audience, in america, also playing to them, because he knows that they, or he believes that they have outsized influence when it comes to dealing with north korea. this is an attempt for him to flex his muscl

of the anc for parliament, and so, i suppose, the reserve list of the anc for parliament, and so, isupposeent, and so, i suppose, it is time for her to take her place. she remained on a reserve list even during her tour of duty as the commission share. if she were to become the next head of the anc would that be a good thing or not? well, that will be up to...iam thing or not? well, that will be up to... i am asking you personally. as a senior member of the anc. would it be healthy, or not? it depends whether she gets elected. as a consequence of the free expression of the will of the members of the anc. because if she is sponsored by a network of people who disregard anc procedures, she will be invested, and would be hamstrung in her leadership. —— indebted. invested, and would be hamstrung in her leadership. -- indebted. in brief, the other frontrunner in recent weeks and months, in this race, not of that candidates have declared yet, is cyril ramaphosa, a businessman worth hundreds of millions of dollars, his interests go across industries, and he is a renowned lover of the good life, i

you know, isuppose, it's like a switch. some people have it, but most people don't.est. even india's now becoming meat eaters. and china as well. yeah, so it is what it is. we're not going to win this thing. people kill animals because they think it's all right to kill them. we're here to stop that if we can. we don't think it's right, and we're here to stop you, even if we're in a very small minority. i'm not even trying to make you change your mind, because you have all the information, and there's nothing i can tell you that you can't find out on the internet now. all you have to do is pop in "meat—eating clip", go, and it will tell you all you need to know about it. so i can't tell you any more. if you think that's all right to do, as far as i'm concerned, i'm here to stop you. that doesn't put me on... i'm a minority. i'm just trying to hold my ground here. i have to sleep at night too, so i have to do things that make me feel at least i've tried to do the right thing that day. chrissie hynde, we have to end there, but thank you very much for being on hardtalk.

there are guilt feelings, really, isuppose, because, yeah, the only reason we are here is because thoseked if security services should be given more powers to tackle terrorism even if that means our privacy suffers. phil believes we should support the security services to catch the terrorists, even if that means mistakes are made. from my perspective, if half a dozen innocent people are locked up and, as a result of that, and other related activities, one innocent child's life is saved, i think that is a price we have got to pay as a society. this person caught up in the 7—7 attacks doesn't believe we should rely solely on the authorities to be able to stop further terror attacks. the police play a part in this. to defeat this we need to have that bottom—up approach. we need to understand that those who are being radicalised are brainwashed so we need to change those hearts and minds. and you can see more on this story on inside out, tonight at 7.30 on bbc one. workers at two mcdonald's restaurants are walking out today in the first strike to affect the company in britain. about 40 staf

from, isuppose, hearing my voice, one of the guys noticed that i was gay. i suppose he got a little bit riled that he wasn't as intimidating towards me as what he probably wanted to feel like he was. so he stamped on my hand, which was on the handrail on the side of the staircase. you could see a heel mark where he had stamped on my hand. and it broke my knuckle. you can actually see the bone there. just before i met leon, just over 12 months ago, i was having a drink in a gay bar in birmingham, having a kiss with someone i was with at the time. but there were some straight people in the bar that didn't like that. before we knew it, theyjumped up and one of them was coming at me with his fists. punched me in the face and broke my nose. i ended up having to have an operation under general anaesthetic a couple of weeks later to try to put it right again. for people who are transgender, the hate crime figure rises to two in five. 80% of victims chose not to report the crime to the police and more than three in five gay men say they don't feel comfortable walki
