white racism has created and and itned urban ghettos is only white society that can get rid of these ghettos. they will be increasing unease. there is increasing unease about rhetoric that black power activists are engaged in. what they do in contrast to civil rights activist is they talk about structural oppression. they link the war in vietnam with the ineffectiveness of the war on poverty. brutality withe the impoverishment of african-americans in rural and urban areas. they are talking about race class. by 1968, gender as well, when we think about radical black feminist. including feminist who were connected, who became part of the black women's alliance and the third world women's alliance. when we think about how the white public is perceiving it, it will be for the most part negative. it is interesting to remember that martin luther king jr., by 19 68 is not the same mainstream hero he is by the end of 1964 when he accepts the nobel peace prize. touring the country like a man on fire. galvanize broad-based support for a poor people's campaign. planning to go to washington and

idea before itn was a column. the editors of ladies' home waynal envisioned it for a for first lady eleanor roosevelt to combat the rumors, innuendos, and backstairs gossip about the white house. as well as a way to answer these other queries about which the public rightly or wrongly thinks it has to know. more practically, the editors thought that a question and answer column would be easier to edit because they did not think eleanor roosevelt was a very good writer. that was the plan. but it did not work out that way. because eleanor roosevelt and her readers soon turned the column into a two-way conversation about almost every aspect of american life. unlike my book, which is organized thematically, i have organized this talk chronologically, starting with the white house in world war ii. i thought what we could do today would be to eavesdrop on the conversation that eleanor had with her readers. inn the column first began 1941, franklin roosevelt was beginning an unprecedented third term. europe was at war and

guy: let's talk about those opportunities and where you are itning them in high-yield has had a verytrong run here in europe is it going to carry on? it is been sold off quite strongly. we think it's getting very attractive. if you look at the different benchmarks you're talking about 500 days points. that's pricing in default risk. we are at well below 2%. if you think it 4% on average for five years but is it deep recession and that is very attractive to us. we think the european economy is not going in recession. the currency is at low levels. energy prices are low which is very important to growth in europe. factors give us confidence that we are not going thereforeecession and by markets that have been affected by china and italy is now very attractive. vonnie: where else in the world are you looking? have taken opportunities to go into emerging markets that have been sold off quite dramatically. in 2016 we had a lot of u.s. hike else. now wherento europe we think the market has gone the themesimistic and we are seeing. the market is moving from overly pessimistic to overly opti

>> it is part of the continuing escalation of the rate at which whheorms are disappearing itn comes torming judges in the senate. kobes is one of a four judges who have been confirmed, despite a nonqualified rating. two others did not make it on the bench. david: for those who do not know, historically the american bar association goes and reviews the nominees and their records, use what they have done with their experiences and they give a rating. there are different ratings they can give, it historically it has been important. why do they give the ratings if they are going to be ignored? >> the administration has decided not to participate in the preclearance process. but that does not mean that nobody cares about the aba's ratings. i think the administration is happy to have them come as they did for brett kavanaugh. but it is certainly not going to let a nonqualified rating stop it from putting yet another nominee on the federal bench. david: democratic senator dianne feinstein has tweeted about this, and has filed greeks -- griefs. circuit courts are where most americans receive f

itn, one of the companies that did so, found that its black and white ethnic minority employees are paids, bbc news. joining me now is labour's shadow women and equalities secretary dawn butler. thank you coming in. the difficulty is still leading to really know because companies are not telling us what they are paying. absolutely. that is where we need transparency in the system and it is a good thing that will help everyone, organisations, employees, and help generally create a more inclusive and fairer company, so i think it is important that companies not only reveal their ethnicity pay gap but they have action plans in regards to how they are going to close the pay 93p- how they are going to close the pay gap. symbol question, why is there a pay gap? a number of reasons. if you start at the beginning when people start at the beginning when people start work, sometimes there is discrimination in regards to people's names so one of the suggestions we have said they would encourage employers, a labour government, to say have your application forms about the need to have a name on it so

that would be to criminalize itn china, we will be discussing trade and at some point we will end upr china and great for the united states and i look very much forward to dinner and i look very much for discussion and discussions after but the relationship is very special, the relationship that i have with president xi and i think that is going to be a very primary reason why we will probably end up ending up getting something that will be good for china and the united states. so we very much appreciate it. [speaking in native tongue] [speaking in native tongue] arthel: president xi is getting the translation of what president trump just said there before the dinner that they are having, you see the two men sit ago cross from each other at a very long table of diplomats. as john roberts says, lots on the menu besides the food on the table. eric: the president sounded optimistic that he can come out of the dinner with something, perhaps delay in negotiations but good more china and good for the united states and certainly talking about the passing of former president george h.w. bush
