than the best list. >> why? guaranteed worldwide press of their name. women vied to get on that list. >> it's in march 1994 when mr. blackwell first meets with the man who'll become his heir to discuss hiring harlan as his publicist. just one problem -- harlan finds himself in the middle of his own fashion emergency -- an unraveling hem. >> i freaked [chuckles] and i grabbed my stapler and i stapled my hem up on my pants so it wasn't on, you know, the ground. and we walked around, and as we left, he pulled me in and said, "by the way, i noticed." but i understand one of the reasons blackwell wanted to work with me is 'cause he said, "oh, the boy needs help." >> for the next 14 years, it's harlan who helps mr. blackwell, not only take care of his public affairs, but his personal, as well. when his health begins to decline in 2004, harlan makes daily visits to see him in the hospital. in january 2008, blackwell pecks out his final best- and worst-dressed lists. jessica simpson and lindsay lohan place among what he

asked for the list and got them. you know it's james thomas brown's mostly the same voters james edwards in other words. double voting on a mass basis is a fraud these are there are millions of fraudulent voters there are fraudulent secretaries of state and con artists like kris kobach that's why they want the list because he's got twenty eight states he wants the others especially california and texas to knuckle under to turn over their files because it will have a whole bunch of names to match like you know out of california jose rodriguez david wong and he can knock off more voters of color because that's what this list ultimately does it's a way to suppress the the vote of african-americans asian americans hispanics and by the way it's done a real job on student voters as well that's why they want the rest of the list because he's only got twenty eight mostly republicans so as i mentioned forty five states have said no we're not going to give you that data you say you know a wait a minute hold your horses this is

one of the headlines but the fact that two thirds of the list are men, only one thirds of the list are women. that is a differential that the director—general of the bbc tony hall says he is unhappy with and has pledged to do something about. he has said that in the last three yea rs has said that in the last three years 60% of people promoted or appointed to a high—paying talent jobs have been women and he is working to improve the ratio, but it is clearly quite a long way to go. the bbc fears that by publishing these salaries there will be an awkward pressure —— and upward pressure on knowing how much will pressure on knowing how much will press for increases and broadcasters may use the figures to poach bbc talent. a bit more in a moment on the list and the individual figures, but this is what lord hall had to say last night ahead of the publication of the figures.” believe it is perfectly right for people who are making decisions about broadcasting in the bbc, like myself or colleagues on the executive committee or others, to have their calorie out there for the public, they should

here's another list we don't want to be on, the list of cit ies that get pounded with thunderstorms.but we may be making that list tomorrow. we have seen some thunderstorms that have popped up just in the last half hour. you're seeing a storm develop and it's moving from east to west across the county. we've had a couple others develop and also with some significant lightening across calvert county and down into st. mary's county. you may hear a rumble of thunder before the night is over. we've also continued that has really been creating quite a light show and very heavy rain for lewis, delaware. i'm sure you're watching that. at bethany there may be a little bit more trailing behind it. that seems to be weakening north of see ford, california. tomorrow a humid day, temperatures in the low to mid 90s, but because it's going to be so soupy we're going to see some storms develop in the afternoon thanks to a frontal boundary closing in and those storms could have some pretty heavy rain not to mention the possible risks of severe weather including damaging wind and a little bit of hail.

well, you have the opportunity within the list. the lists are sectarian.ong as they pass a certain hurdle. this law has actually created a better representation, because in lebanon it is a matrix. so, without getting involved in too many details, it is allowing actually, now, people who have minorities, but who have a presence and are quite popular in their regional area, to be selected from the list with a preferential vote, or allowing people to form independent lists, and actually get through the system if they have — if they can pass the hurdle. so your hope is that the independent lists will actually broaden that kind of — will actually slowly create — break some of that sectarianism up. exactly, and it will create opportunities for new faces in parliament, as well as it will supplement also the party politics that we aim to get to outside the sectarian structure. i mean, lebanon's political system kind of, in a sense, seems frozen in time. it is based on a sectarian division dating from 1943, which used population figures from the census conducted in

toping the list, neil degrasse tyson book. then jd vance recalls this childhood in a rust belt town in ohio. followed by al franken's autobiography giant of the senate. fourth on the list and newt gingrich's "understanding trump" followed by comedian kevin heart's memoir "i can't make this up" we continue with a collection from the diary of humorous david sudarius in theft by finding. next, facebook ceo cheryl sandburg and psychologist adam grant give advice in "option b". bill o'rielly explores the truth behind larger than life characters in "legends and life" followed by a book about a murder spree in 1920s oklahoma that targeted the osage indians. and wrapping up the best selling non fiction books is "way 1968 "which recounts the battle that changed the american approach to the war in vietnam. many of these authors have or will be appearing on booktv. you can watch them on our website, booktv.org. >> booktv recently visited capitol hill to ask members of congress what nay are reading this summer: >> i intend to read differe

is anyone on the list overpaid?b at another organisation. i think also within the figures you see some people who have been at the bbc a long time who were running high salaries and others who are younger and new in their careers were earning less. thank you for your time. a big clean—up operation is taking place in cornwall, after flash floods swept through the village of coverack on the lizard peninsula. there were three hours of torrential downpours last night, and a number of people had to be rescued from the roofs of their homes by a coastguard helicopter. residents reported hailstones the size of 50 pence pieces, and the village was divided in two — by a four foot torrent of water. 0ur correspondentjon kay has travelled to the village and fishing port to see the extent of the damage. what a mess. this was the main road into the village of coverack until it was ripped apart. just look at it now. and this is why. heavy rain sent a four—foot torrent of water thundering down the hills into the harbour yesterday af

if you're looking at a un list, european union list, or an american list, then, you know, we're fairlyo, if you are talking about funding al-qaeda, or the people who like to say al-qaeda affiliated groups, it is fairly clear they are terrorists. i am not talking about that. it is clear in the 13 list, the third point specifically mentioned well—known groups. but the fourth point was these individuals, groups or organisations. the reason i say this is that with the extra information that came with those demands, there were three qatar—based charities who the un itself says has, over the years, built a strong partnerships with these organisations based on shared humanitarian principles, which are strictly nonpolitical? mh—hm. they say that. do you accept that, actually, you have probably swept in people who shouldn't be on there? you know, it is quite possible. what is also possible is that the un doesn't have full information and perhaps we should take it up with them and pass on all of the information that we have to clarify this issue. because the suspicion is that what you and saudi

what is on your list? >> well, i just open ad book by robert gotly, the former editor and chief of simon and shuster and editor of the new yorker. it is about charley dickens and his children. he had ten children possibly an 11th and it is a book about what their life was like and dickens as a father. it is not a new book. i cannot tell you about the new books because i don't want to show our cards in terms of our planned review coverage but there are lot of great big books coming aout. i think it will be an exciting book season. i think last year there was a lot of hesitation around the fall book season because of the election. i think people are hoping that this year there won't be that kind of distraction. i think the news cycle is incredibly absorbing but i think at the same time readers are looking for counter programming and to get away from that. especially when so many people are so obsessively watching tv and looking at social media. i think a really good book, whether it is history or novel, can

naga munchetty and not on the list charlie stayt. the bbc brea kfast sofa ma kes the front page of the sun, but there we go. the figures are out. and many of the papers, as naga said, are looking at some of the detail and some of the discrepancies highlighted. the daily mail say mutiny — bitter recriminations of the politically correct bbc as this gulf between men and women's pay is revealed. so that's us on newswatch broadcast during breakfast, showing a clip of breakfast, featuring a newspaper front page about breakfast. apologies for adding to the self—absorption, which on wednesday prompted this from rowena kay. and another twitter user called jerome thought: others felt the difference between men's and women's earnings revealed by the list was being pored over to access, with helen blamires asking: well, amol rajan has been reporting on this story all week at the bbc‘s media editor and hejoins me now. has it been awkward? not particularly. maybe i have a certain advantage in that i have not been here that long, so i haven't beco

if you're looking at a un list, european union list, or an american list, then, you know, we're fairly also, if you are talking about funding al-qaeda, or the people who like to say al-qaeda affiliated groups, it is fairly clear they are terrorists. i am not talking about that. it is clear in the 13 list, the third point specifically mentioned well—known groups. but the fourth point was these individuals, groups or organisations. the reason i say this is that with the extra information that came with those demands, there were three qatar—based charities who the un itself says has, over the years, built a strong partnerships with these organisations based on shared humanitarian principles, which are strictly nonpolitical? mh—hm. they say that. do you accept that, actually, you have probably swept in people who shouldn't be on there? you know, it is quite possible. what is also possible is that the un doesn't have full information and perhaps we should take it up with them and pass on all of the information that we have to clarify this issue. because the suspicion is that what you and sa

expect in the listing to take place by the end of 2018.a big deal and of course great for advisers, great for advisers in the uk market. the current rules would say the company should list, at least 25% of its value but they're suggesting they could create a separate listings category to allow aramco the listjust the 5% it wants to but the interesting line in here is that since march the financial conduct authority has been asked by the government to keep competitiveness of the financial market in mind when forming policy, the thing they were told not to consider in the past but now post— brexit they are being told to consider competitiveness when coming up consider competitiveness when coming up with the rules which is quite a seachange. i think the fact that the ft makes an interesting point in its editorial to remind ourselves that london has been a destination for global capital, of imperfect prove na nce global capital, of imperfect provenance for centuries and we've managed to maintain our reputation but of course in a post— brexit w

prices, so the list price is higher in a remake can be taken from the higher list price.arol: so they get a bigger rebate. paul: they keep a slice of that rebate, so they are basically -- they have an incentive to see the list price go higher, so their percentage rebate goes higher. that would all be fine if no one paid list price. it's not the way the world works. a lot of people do pay the list price. if you were among the millions of americans who still lack health insurance at this moment, and there may be millions more those people if the republican'' obamacare revealing replace is enacted, if you go to the pharmacy, you pay list price. if you are on medicare recipients, there's a coverage gap, where the recipients basically have to pay for their own drugs, and again, you will pay the list price. carol: you hit a certain amount of costs as a medicare recipient and if you go above that, you have to pay list price. at first it seems like the price it takes to make this drug in distributed, etc., i found it similar to -- analogous maybe when you going via phone. phones

but top of the bbc pay list, chris evans. £2.2 million. public company, i think. and therefore i think it is probably on balance right and proper that people know what we get paid. where is everyone ? the best paid bbc actor is derek thompson, charlie from casualty, with more than £350,000. other actors paid by independent companies do not appear. also some stars such as graham norton also have deals not on the list with independent firms. but it does give a snapshot of the level of top pay. more than £700,000 forjeremy vine, stephen nolan from bbc ulster, more than £400,000. however, the bbc says it has been cutting top pay, dropping more than 10% over the last 12 months. we are constantly working at ensuring that we get the balance right between our public, who want to have great shows headed by stars and great presenters, and then also wanting to know that their money, and it is their money, public money, is being spent properly. and that is always a balance. and over the last two or three years, yes, some key presenters and others have

you had to sift through snap ahead of its listing. who came out with a buy rating on it before anyone else was out the gate, but what do you see when you look at the roles of the game changing and how hard does it make it to value these companies? james: as a private company, i would not want to go public. look, it is not easy, but at the end of the day, i don't have to analyze companies that are private. i just need anecdotes and information flow in order to better assess the public companies. that comes from relationships and so forth. so it doesn't really change my life all that much. caroline: are you looking for dropbox this year? can you give us any names that you think will be coming to the u.s. market? james: we know that redfin is looking to come into the market. obviously, there could be some others, but the i'm keeping my one eye on the most is spotify. caroline: we will see what that means for the rest of the european tech sector as well. indeed globally as well. you are both sticking with me i am pleased to say. coming up

but crucially the list isn't complete. names like davids dimbleby and attenborough or mary berry get paid, because they work eitherfor independent companies or bbc worldwide, a commercial entity. the bbc‘s director—general insisted value for money was his priority. these people have relatively straightforward jobs, they really enjoy doing them and they're paid colossal sums of public money. i think they are highly skilled jobs, i think you underestimate what it is to present a programme, to have a bond, a close bond with the public. this is the forth bridge, we are constantly assessing — and should be constantly assessing — the people, the job we are asking them to do, and are they getting the right pay, and thinking about that all the time. it is public money, we owe the public that. at a tour of the bbc‘s salford studios today there was scepticism about the cost of on—air talent. i think they're in privileged positions, basically. they probably should be well paid, they're doing high—pressure jobs, a lot is expected of t

gun owners who are on the terror watch list this country suffering a string of attacks. coming i from our international center here in moscow this is art. welcome to the program there was an early start for twenty protesters in with a sit in blockade which seoul police used tear gas to disperse them the pictures we're looking at now are live pictures from the northern german city well police say they are expecting as many as one hundred thought to turn up later in the german city where the summit's taking place several protesters have been injured during the demonstration security. forces used water cannon and pepper spray to disperse demonstrators who threw bottles stones on flares up the officers there were also violent clashes yesterday. was. was. was. wow. was was. well activists have been protesting against the two day meeting of world leaders who are expected to discuss challenges like terrorism on climate change our europe correspondent peter all of her husband following the rallies in hamburg. tensions have boiled over between demonstrators and the police. we're

at it's core, a list of names, a list of numbers and i find at it's core, a list of names, a list ofbers and ifind it com pletely a list of numbers and ifind it completely fascinating so as an completely fascinating so as an old—fashioned hack, this is really... i wouldn't say sexy but a juicy story. a lot of viewers see it as self—flagellating coverage, the media talking about itself at the expense of other news? how would you answer that? i don't think it was self—flagellating. if you're the bbc you have to cover yourself in a way that tries to be fairand yourself in a way that tries to be fair and objective. you have to be tough. i was very conscious. i had two interview tony hall on news at ten, two nights in a row, which is a prestige bulletin and there is no way i would not give him a hard time. when i was editing the packages, i would make it seem we were giving them a hard time. i don't think it's self—flagellation. it isa self—flagellation. it is a hugely important public interest story. how do we spend public money? there is a question, did we do too much? that is complicat

get put on the list which is a treasury sanctions list. no bank wants to be in violation and therefore any bank fechb it is in south korea or dubai will close their account that day and as a result you become a financi financial, so it's a consequence. >> where does it come into this? >> it is the family lawyer for the family. it is a putin regime family. they own a company identified as received some of the money from the $230 million fraud. they ended up having to defend themselves in new york and they came with her. she became the point person to fight the money laundering charges. i should point out in fighting money laundering charges they spent between 30 and $40 million to save $14 million that have been frozen by the department of justice. so the incentive goes well beyond their own personal interest. >> she was president at this meeting on june 9th. what interest do you believe she had and what goal did she want to achieve? >> it is absolutely clear the interest and the goal. the interest and the goal in that meeting was to repeal

for instance, stephen moffitt is not on the list.se, presumably he is paid through an independent production company and anybody who works for independent production company isn't declared as pa rt production company isn't declared as part of these figures. like wise, there are people graham norton is a good example who are on the list, but earn a good deal more. graham norton earns between £850,000 and £900,000 from the bbc, he gets paid more because the fee for his bbc one chat show which is an independent production isn't included in this. so, it's a rather confusing picture. it's not entirely clear always whether we are comparing like for like. in some cases you have people fiona bruce and huw edwards, they present the news, but then both do other programmes. fiona bruce does factual entertainment programmes things like the antiques road show and huw edwards does election coverage, are they comparable? does the fact that she earns less than him, does that play into this debate about the gender pay gap? is it in fa ct about the ge

it has a grade one listed m, bridge. of exceptional architectural and historic interest. it gives me great pleasure to declare this bridge open. beyond a comms 36 years after the official opening. the bridge cost more than £100 billion. at the other end of the scale, something from the year the scale, something from the year the queen was born. this public convenience from 1926. these toilets on the waterfront have been chosen because they were designed to cater for both men and women, very rare at the time. most of the original fittings have survived. what are they like inside? it felt like a grade two listing, to be fair. impressive? they could do with a bit ofa impressive? they could do with a bit of a clean. i think it is marvellous. we have always been known as a place where only salesmen and relations go, and perhaps those other kind of people meet in to i lets. other kind of people meet in toilets. philip larkin's house has also been protected, the house where he wrote some of his most famous poems. walking around

now, the federal court clerks get their jury lists from the voter, local state voter registration lists. well, we need to get that data, i think, from all the federal district courts around the country, that will give us an idea of how many potential noncitizens are being called for jury duty for federal courts who have been taken from the voter registration lists. we united to find out, and i think the answer is no, they do not do it. do the federal court clerks, when someone is excused of jury duty, because they are not a citizen, do they send that information back to the state and local voting officials. so they can investigate if that is someone that needs to be taken off the roll. and second, do they forward that information to the u.s. attorney in that district because it is a felony under federal law for a noncitizen to register to vote. my understanding is they are not doing that. we also need to find out from the u.s. attorney's offices all across the country. whether had they are complying with a provision in the national voter registration act which requires, u.s. attorneys,

automatic monitoring of suspects on a database watch list.ve got to be vigilant all the time and mustn't let our guard down. we must use the latest technology to take the fight to the terrorists. grenfell — there's a new deputy leader of kensington and chelsea council and he's taking over the authority's response to the fire. we meet him. i think the mistake was that we thought that we could do this on our own. and the scale was much, much larger. if i was going to point to the biggest thing, we delayed before we started engaging on a national level and getting support. hello. the brexit talks between britain and the eu carried on again today. the sides are still stuck on the divorce bill and citizens' rights. more on that shortly. away from the negotiation with them in the eu, there is something of a negotiation going on here within the uk, or more precisely within the uk government. it's about a potential transitional arrangement, the day we leave the eu — how long does the transition need to be and what exactly happens in it? it's becoming

and some of the people who aren't on this list earn more than the list suggests an graham norton isween 850000 and £900,000 a year but that doesn't include the money he gets for his bbc one chat show which is made by an independent producer. there is a lack of transparency which is not the bbc‘s fault, this is a winner declaration of these figures was ordained by the government, but it does mean that the figures were slightly murky and also it is quite difficult to compare presenters, one presenter with another apparently doing the samejob. then with another apparently doing the same job. then you with another apparently doing the samejob. then you discover that they do otherjobs as well. dan walker, the breakfast presenter, is between 200 and £250,000. louise minchin has —— his co—host isn't even on the list but he says they get the same, he just gets more for presenting football focus. the gender pay gap between men and women, the top male star chris evans gets five times more than the top woman star. that's right, and two thirds of the names are men. i haven't done the sums but i

those people that are listed from the list. can you give a description that the threat of sanctions to the oligarchy is a threat to putin?. >> excellent question. when putin was originally fighting with the oligarchs when he came to power because they receiving power from him to regain the power of the presidency to drag him off of the airplane and put him on trial when you go on trial in moscow there is a 99.7 percent conviction rate the previous decade with no presumption of innocence bailout of the television cameras to film them. the cure the 17th richest in you saw the first sitting in a cage with is your reaction? so one by one after. was convicted on all of the other oligarchs went to but a mere prudence and what do we have to do? he said 50 percent. straightforward. not for a the president to the administration but putin himself said he became the richest man in the world of the movement -- of the moment. >> so they feet of massive -- massive amounts of money during his political bidding. so they can travel and save and

they have some unlikej—hus who is on the list. this is a person who is on the list.is a person who is on the list. this is a person who is a kind of hub between grime and the afro beat sound that is coming from africa and the dance hall sound that is coming from jamaica and this kid is mixing all of those different sounds into something new. he is very exciting. it is the sort of music you hear being too boomed out at house parties and it is great that they have honoured that and i hope he is in with a shot. it is almost like hearing a foreign—language being spoken when i listen to what you are saying, so it has been an education for me. thank you very much. nice to talk to you. i may as well admit it. in a moment: the headlines on bbc news: the un says yemen are struggling with the cholera outbreak. there may be grounds for corporate manslaughter with regards to the g re nfell tower manslaughter with regards to the grenfell tower disaster. amber rudd says there will be a period of adaption when the new changes coming after brexit. an update on the market numbers for

that list of people he just gave not by name but job title, that's an important list of people. if the president is going to be on the hook in a criminal sense or obstruction of justice or anything else improper about his interfering with the fbi, that list, those people are going to be important witnesses as to the president's behavior. and so if the white house is at all worried about that line of inquiry about the president, they've got to be worried about this list of senior fbi officials. well, look what's happened so far to that list. the fbi director, james comey, fired. not just fired but smeared and disparaged and insulted by the white house, by the president, by the president's lawyers, by conservative media, by republicans in congress. also the acting fbi director, andrew mccabe, not fired but the president now increasingly campaigning against him by name, deriding him by name, accusing him of corruption saying that mccabe never should have been hired as the acting fbi director. that attack on andrew mccabe now being joined by conservative media, by republicans in con

we've got a list that might help. soledad: our list of things we're taking attention to even if you're too busy. find out what states ma list because of some legislative controversies. and, laterbe climb trees? it's got nothing to do with our story, but it's a great question. we do wever have some bear facts to share. soledad: this week controversial measures moving through some state legislatures -- make our list of things "we're paying attentio n to even if you're too busy." the state of texas passed a law that some describe as a "sanctuary city" ban, and it's already the subject of a lawsuit from the city of san antonio. under the law, city council me mbers, county commissioners, sheriffs, district attorneys, and police on college campuses are allowed to check a person's immigration status and report that information to federal s. an elected official who standsn activities can be removed from office. any law enforcement officer who fails to cooperate can be fined from $1,000 to $1,500 for a first violation. a secon

people on the list is not the only concern either. he shows that the. carelessness of french bureaucracy you have ten thousand people that are registered on the watch the least on the. east end you have about one percent of them that legally own weapons the frightening thing about that is that they have access to shooting ranges where they go to to train where the sometimes even have to. meet local police policemen and they talk with them and they have information about security it's not about the weapons themselves it's more about the fact that they are they have access to this shooting range where the trained to shoot. back to our breaking news story this hour the leaders of russia and the u.s. are currently right now holding their first face to face talks on the sidelines of the g. twenty summit in pictures where a few moments ago when they spoke to the media scrum just before closing the deal with their respective foreign ministers secretary of state of course as well for the u.s. . for a discussion that meeting has been highly an
