local newspapers prime among them. to talk to keith harrison, the editor of the wolverhampton express and star, who hasjust left after 25 years. just a few decades ago, work in a local paper came with esteem, influence and a solid wage. titles like the independently—owned express & star in wolverhampton were treasured in their communities. these days, their importance has grown further, but their commercial clout is diminishing. now, if you want a second—hand car, you look online and if you want local news, fewer and fewer turn to print. it's challenging. i think if you look at the size of the audience compared to say 20 years ago, more people are reading our stories now than they were in that time, but that's if you take the print audience and the digital audience together. the difficulty we have got is of course a large proportion of those people who are reading are not paying for the content. it's how we start to monetise the digital segment. the romance and nostalgia of local papers is at odds with the brutal reali

the local branch of the alternative for germany party was set upon as he left the office of a local newspaper the a.f.p. released a graphic photograph of magnus's injuries on social media this week to dominic cain who joins us now from berlin done it what more do we know. well nic the details of this case quite stark at twenty past five local time in germany yesterday evening as you say after leaving the offices of this newspaper he was set upon by three masked men using some kind of club or blunt instrument they attacked him left him on the streets he was found by two people who called the emergency services he was taken to hospital as you say the injuries that he suffered are quite graphic and it was the f.d.a. itself which posted the photograph of mr magnet lying there with his injuries very starkly on view and saying that they that he had been that he was heart dead it's worth making the point that many politicians from mainstream parties have condemned this act and said not no matter what a person's political view is there's no justification for such acts of violence it's also interestin

it was compelling even to his local newspaper. but he's from a very rural, red area.ber when tom vilsack's wife ran against him for congress. she came i think within 10, which is amazing when you think about that. that was a few cycles ago. i think the guy that ran against him was a veteran or a former baseball player who came back and didn't have much of a shot but he came closer than christine vilsack did. so i think the republicans maybe clean up on aisle 5, let's get rid of this guy so we can get another republican in there so we don't lose the seat. because if steve king is their nominee they're probably going to lose the seat. >> jason johnson, thank you for joining us tonight. and senator mccaskill, i just want to say, i have seen united states senators leave the senate when they decided to retire, and i've seen them leave when they involuntarily were retired. >> correct. >> and what i've always noticed is about a month later you can't tell the difference because they're just so happy to be out of that submarine. and you look like you're bearing it with both gr

i mean the walls of snow are literally twice as tall as i am the headline this morning in the local newspaper was hope and truck edition hope would probably describe this side of the village i mean i'll say which has had some of the heaviest snowfall but the villagers are really dealing with it the bakeries open the hotels open people are walking through the streets there's not snow plows they don't have snow plows here actually they have they have shovels steam shovels going through the streets literally carrying the snow because there's nowhere to put it they have to put it in giant piles down the street now trepidation would describe the other side of this village about a kilometer down the street there they have been evacuated it's completely closed off no one's allowed to go there and that's because of the danger of avalanches austrian authorities have history as usual the highest avalanche warning for that area even the mayor had to evacuate his house i don't know if you can hear but there's a helicopter flying overhead and what those helicopters are doing are checking situation to see

my first job was paperboy for the local newspaper. when i saw issues i care about most -- health care, immigration, jobs -- my community was being left behind. i wanted to fix it. >> did you get ahead -- how did you get ahead of the incumbent? >> health care was our strongest arrow in the quiver. i could not hold my baby brother when he was born for the first time because there were all these tubes coming out of and in the intensive care unit. he came out with a health care bill 104 pages long. luckily we had insurance to take care of it. now he is a healthy local college student. my brother would not have insurance until he was 65 and on medicare because of my congressman's vote to repeal the affordable care act. there are 100,000 people in my district with the same story. 23 million americans would have lost access to health care. i think everybody saw that and felt they had to get off the sidelines and get involved in politics because their loved ones were at risk. >> one headline said you are the only venture capitalist headed to

i mean, we have to -- we're a local newspaper. we are an independent, local newspaper.ot more about medicaid expansion in arkansas and what's happening with people getting kicked off of it than we do with what's going on in the middle east, frankly. that's our mission, is arkansas. that's what we're focused on. and this is totally irrelevant to what we're here to do. and frankly, i find it offensive. something else that the law puts forth is that if we don't sign it, we can still do business with the state of arkansas. but we have to cut our rates by 20%. now, where is the fundamental principle behind that, that they'll go ahead and let us do this without signing. they will let us boycott, but they want us to make them a deal. the whole thing just smells, and it's offensive. >> so brian, explain to us why you believe that this is unconstitutional. >> well, as i think alan's case demonstrates, you don't have to be participating in a boycott of israel to find these anti boycott laws fundamentally unamerican. the right to boycott is squarely protected by the first amendmen
