in new york city, it's goodbye as we leave you with the festival movie jimmy, in which we see james baldwin south—east england, a lot of cloud, an odd spit of drizzle. we had a weather front that brought some rain to northern ireland and scotland, delivering 22mm into the highlands, the wettest place in the uk, but then we had this slice of sunshine stretching from east scotland down towards south—west england where we had eight and a half hours of sunshine in camborne in cornwall and 18 celsius heat in dorset in bournemouth. and looking at the weather picture at the moment, weak weather fronts are moving south—east, just a lump of cloud by the time it reaches east anglia. that cloud keeping temperatures up at around seven degrees or so. otherwise, it is going to be quite a cold start to your sunday morning with temperatures three to five degrees pretty widely. it might be chilly, but it is going to be a lovely start to your sunday morning as well. now, we'll keep the sunshine all day across england and wales, but for scotland and northern ireland, a weather front is on the way through the

in new york city, it's goodbye as we leave you with the festival movie jimmy, in which we see james baldwintures briefly are going to be turning a little lower. we got this low pressure with the moving away from the south—west and this is front is going to be stuck a post eastern parts of england this is where most of the rain on saturday. then in between that and this cloud it should be a lovely day. lots of sunshine away. temperatures still on the mild side, around ilt away. temperatures still on the mild side, around iii to 16 degrees, not quite so high as we got on friday, that weather front bringing the rain then sweeps into england and wales. as it does so the rain becomes like patching dies away. and then we see that next system coming in from the atlantic. ahead of that we start sunny in most places away from the showers. the cloud increases in northern ireland and western shot than later. over the irish sea will see some rain moving in. much sunny dave eastern parts of quite england, a bit of sunshine for england and wales. it is going to be slightly cooler, temperatures 11 to 14 s

part of the book is really a confrontation with our incubus city to to witness and to stay with james baldwin always talks about we must try to bear it and and part of the american logic might be that we're not very good at trying to bear it. you walk through walk us through just his diligence when he gets out of prison in terms of which first trying to get recompense is that he goes to magistrates, he goes to try and get a haircut to clean up he goes to try and get a job as a farmhand. so there's this real for a person who comes out of prison and is disorient that in all of the ways having spent went in that was it 1515 right it comes out five years later the town has changed. he's lost most of his and yet he has this kind of deliberateness about trying to build life as a citizen, as compere located as that word can be, he's trying to do right by being a citizen and one of the axis to say i want to be paid for my labor. and he goes through all of these process, these. and so it's amazing in the book to have you juxtapose that diligence against this larger racist narrative of it's either it's

in the essay, long divisions, which is about the growing recognition of black writers from james baldwin to, toni morrison to toni tanahashi coates painter mentions the 1988 new york times letter signed by 48 black writers demanding the recognition of morrison's work. and it struck me while reading this that perhaps this work might also argue for the recognition of painter as one of this nation's great seers. a person in possession of striking onto the country's and an implicit understanding of the mechanisms of racism classism and sexism and whose body of work forms an excellent basis to understand our country. so with that said, i'm going to i'm going to let you talk as much as possible. and i want to start the process of assembling this book as we started talking about backstage, because it's both an book and an essay collection. and i wondered how you arrived at this format and tell us a little bit about the process of putting it together. yeah. thank you so much. what a lovely introduction. i'm fortunate to have such thoughtful introduction and so complete. thank you. the process of

james baldwin, of course, and the formative african-american writer. but i really would caution people don't just connect with james baldwin, because he speaks so eloquently about the african-american experience. ends connect with james baldwin because he connects eloquently with universal human experience. so that's what all great writers do. and whenever he talks about in that great essay, she has a stranger in the village, he talks about being in switzerland and being the only person of color in this little village. you know, on one level, it's a commonplace sign of race. on another level, it's a contemplation of the degree to which all of us, whatever our walks of life at some point, we're outsiders. and he connects with that experience. so powerful and with such poetic sentences that he's just a writer, that everybody should read. danny heitman the norton anthology has been expanded over the years to include newer writers. i bet that's a fun debate at the norton company. when they decide who to include with that, what do you think about the expans

in this book, i think leaning on tony morrison and james baldwin, leaning on people who taught me to let characters live and take over a page and take as much space as their story needs to be told, that helped me feel free to tell the stories in this way. i hope to continue to grow in that path to do it, but i think the third book project -- >> got a scoop here. >> -- is going to be a little more reflective, especially given how many policies have changed in higher education. but it's going to give me a time to reflect on what i have been thinking about for a long time, what does it mean to be a forever first generation college student? i think it's interesting when people talk about first gen in the past tense. he was a first generation college student. i'm like, when did i stop? when i had to go on the job market, i had no idea. i had no idea. i didn't know academic regalia was that expensive? i didn't know that you don't -- you didn't get paid your first job you had to wait until the end of the month. i didn't know that you -- you never stop learning these new rules. when you star

incapacity to hear and the book is really a compilation of the incapacity to witness and to stay with, james baldwin talks about we must always try to bear and we aren't very good at trying to bear. you walk us through his diligence when he gets out a prison in terms of first trying to get recompense and he goes to magistrates and goes to try to get a haircut to clean up, he tries to get a job as a farm hand so there's this real, four-person who comes out a prison in his disoriented in all the ways having, it comes at five years later the town has changed and he lost most of his hearing and yet he has this kind of deliberateness about trying to build a life as a citizen. as complicated as that work can be he's trying to do right by being a citizen and wanting to be paid for myy labor. he goes through all of these processes and it's amazing the book to have it juxtaposed that against the larger racist narrative of either its or some manifestation of that really idea that black people are somehow less than human. there'sis this across-the-board consistent incapacity to bear. there is no answer to why.

and so in this book, i think leaning on in kay jemison and leaning on toni morrison and james baldwin, leaning on people who taught to let characters live and take over a page and take much space as their story needs to be told. that helped me. feel free to tell the in this way. and i hope to continue to grow that path to to do it. but i think that third book project project is got a scope to be a little bit more reflective especially how so many things so many policies to change in higher education. but it's going to give me time to reflect on what i have been about for a long time. is was it mean to be a forever first generation college student? because i think it's always interesting when. people talk about first year in the past tense, like, oh, he was first generation college student. i'm like, well, when did i stop? because when i had to go on a job market, i had no idea. i had no idea. i didn't know that academic regalia was this expensive. i didn't that you don't you didn't get paid when you know your first job. you had to wait till the end of the month. i didn't know that you

when she was outed in 1980 one, no one was publicly delay except james baldwin, certain writers. even liberace doing interviews where he said he hoped to find the right girl, truly. nobody was out. she last $2 million overnight. she by that point had six knee surgeries, she had a clumsy damage control tour and talks about who uses being outed as an opportunity to go further into the closet but that's what i did. it took her years to reconcile it. she thought the tour would collapse, she had let everybody down. she knows no matter how dark things are, she feels people do come to their better angels, she believes it. she likes to tell a story about how when she looks at these movements, black lives matter, marriage equality, the continuation of work that people have been doing forever, but it wasn't until things like the george floyd murder, when she saw people even in majority white communities lying in the street for the length of time he had been unable to breathe, she said for the first time i thought we were getting close to unlocking how to make equality happen because the co

also, some of james baldwin's books. books by even eldridge cleaver, might've been a lunatic, but he is a tremendous writer. i don't know, there were others, most of the books that really affected me were books i received from abroad, anarchists, and other books about subject matter i did not know anything about it that ever existed. the russian civil war, that anarchists wrote for the russian civil war, the 1936 spanish civil war, and all of these other things, which had a lot of blacks going to spain, volunteering on behalf of the spanish people who were being confronted with terrorism by the fascist, you know, franco and the fascists. all of these things i did not know anything about me, i did not receive the education. a variety of black literature, which was in abundance during that period, because of the black power movement, was being put out as well that prisoners were not given access to, as they claim the serviceability, they are back to making that claim now, subversive to states -- institution's security, and

in 1981, nobody was publicly gay except james baldwin. some writers, some i mean, liberace kept doing interviews where he was saying he hoped to find out, you know, the right girl truly nobody was out. she lost $2 million overnight. she by that point, six knee surgeries and had to play a couple more years. she had a really clumsy damage control and talks. now, how who uses being of it as a as an opportunity to go further into the closet but that's what i did she said it took her years to to able to reconcile it. she thought that that the tour would she would let everybody down and it took her. so she that matter how things dark are i think she feels like people do come around to their better angels she believes that. she likes to tell a story about how. when she looks at all these movements that today black lives matter is marriage equality. time's up the the continuation of work that people been doing forever and she said it was, but it wasn't until things like the george floyd murder and when she saw people even in majority white commun

i learned from james baldwin back in the 1960's he said that we will be free when a black man can propose marriage to a white woman and she can say no. [laughter] lucas: we are going to draw a lesson for ourselves on that? bob: to the answer about integration, i just think one of our authors in the book, job butler, uses the word homofly. it's we come together because we have mutual interests. because the opposite is -- i argue of segregation is desegregation. i want to know not only are you not my -- are you my color, i want to know are you my kind. that's the basis from which we should establish friendships. is are you my kind. do we have that in common. rather than artificially saying well, if it's all white folks and black come together, this, and white folks, i don't want to be around. and black folks i don't want to be around. lucas: question in the back. thank you. >> my name is bob, i teach at george washington law school. i'm attracted to the narrative that you are putting out. in fact i heard it for the longest time from my father who was a world war ii veteran who, unfortunatel

connect with james baldwin because he connects eloquently with universal human experiences. and that is what all great writers do. whenever he talks about -- a stranger in the village just about being in switzerland being the only person of color in the little village. on one level it's accomplished and the other level it's a compilation of when all of us had a loss of life. at some point we are outsiders and he connects with that experience so powerfully and with such dish he's just a writer that everyone should read.>> the norton anthology has been expanded over the years to include newer writers. what you think about expansion? >> that is all good. literary canons are reconsidered with every generation. and i think it's great that it's done. again, i think that while it's great to include writers because perhaps they come from underrepresented communities, i think it's important for people to value these writers because of their great writers, they speak to universal experiences. one example of that in british literature is virginia woolf. virginia woolf is widely celebra

britain, thanks to the people, the mill workers and quakers in, in lancashire or someone like james baldwinauthor happened to be shakespeare, by the way , these shakespeare, by the way, these are people who would be worthy of celebrating, not the people and not the people or the or the. i don't even call them ideas. they're kind of racist rantings , really. i mean, it's rantings, really. i mean, it's very embarrassing . very embarrassing. >> and i think and i also think the double whammy is the idea of furnishing that with pictures of people , one of whom seemed to be people, one of whom seemed to be absolutely fine with the idea of raping white women, which, which is which is a massive problem . is which is a massive problem. again, you know, you just can't get away with that unless seemingly your your dawn butler. i will stress she has now apologised and edited the video, but you know it went out right. thank you very much both of you. cheers. that is the campaign group. don't divide us. aukus. tessa jowell cuthbert there. and labour activist and writer ayesha ali khan. thank you so much.

in the essay along divisions, which is about the growing recognition of black writers from james baldwin to toni morrison to ta-nehisi coates , it struck me during reading that perhaps this work might also argue for the recognition of painter as one of this nation's great seers, a person in position of striking clarity onto the country's history and an implicit understanding of the mechanisms of racism, classism, and sexism, and whose body of work forms an excellent asis to understand our country. e started talking about backstage, because it's both an book and an essay collection. and i wondered i want to start with the process of assembling this book. we started talking about that backstage. it is an art book and an essay collection. and i wondered how you arrived at this format. thank you. the process of a publication is something i could talk about forever. i've been very interested in the history of the book, which the process of publication, is something i can talk about forever. i have been very interested in the history of the book which is material history. the history of the bo

james. >> erik thommy and wisconsin is another race where it is really close. you have this sleeper social issue that has become very relevant in recent weeks. baldwin in his office as long as sharon brown but also with a record and a concern about growing the vote. nevada, if you don't want career politicians, this is a race for you. these are both people who have experience outside. jacky rosen successful career in computer programming and services and once ray trust at caesar's palace to make ends meet. sam brown, an amazing military record. a huge service to the country. also an entrepreneur. this is a race where trump seems to have a slight lead. you give the edge to rosen. michigan is one that tightened a lot. mike rogers, an experienced congressman. took a break from congress. wasn't always a trump guy. now endorsed by donald trump and has been closing. elissa slotkin seem to have the moderate image and a winning combination but she has been warning all along about how tight that race is. not just her race, but in the presidential as well. that is a coin flip. >> sandra: really good stuff that you give us to watch here. 12 days to go. hope yo

baldwin and others are seen as popular political figures. they aren't holding elected office pics of to the time between 65 and 68 people looked up to delancey and in particular james delancey for leadership. when it comes to 1768 they mount a concerted campaign. they not only enacted at candidacy they released advertising that could be stuck on what is the people walking by could see. they would be put on tavernta tables and coffeehouse tables and they had pamphlets so people could study them a little but more and they flooded manhattan with election material. not only that, they started to hold events. they hold events in taverns and the lead-up to the election on mondays,s, tuesdays, wednesday, thursday. there's an eventve every night. it's a lot of and a lot of fighting in a lot of alcohol or a lot of food. the delancey's pay for it on you can imagine these events. alcohol is pouring the wine is pouring in the cider and the people come together in the form of bond based firstly on their political views per. delancey pay-per-view thing. people mightht have come back night after night and knew people would come in and they gain popular support. but they aren't th

baldwin, senator. thank you for being here on that comment there, the trump campaign is claiming tonight that he was referring to murderers when he said, quote, it's in there james. what's your response to that look, trump wants this as a political issue for his campaign i know you're talking about in the previous segment, but we could have had in place for months now a bill that would have brought 50 ten 1,000 new border patrol agents to the southern border this was a bipartisan measure drafted in large part by one of the most conservative republican senators and it would also have brought in technology to help us scan nearly all the vehicles that come in to be able to interdict more of the illicit fentanyl. >> this was a very important, this was about solving problems and in stead, trump and my republican opponent eric have d, i wanted this as a political issue that they could run on rather than pursuing real solutions. >> well, and it made me think of something that he said when he was in your home state of wisconsin yesterday i want everyone to just listen for those who missed the trump rally to this comment today, i make this promise. i will liberate wiscon
