film called brust off about you know how they the mining community was completely destroyed by mrs thatcher and entire communities were devastated and i was very aware of a huge north south divide when i first came to london to drama school and there were still minors on the finchley road with the cold not the old booklets and we invited the men to speak to the students' union to explain what was going on and how how far away from westminster they felt and this play begins with a gag about the ministry yes i mean that's it's all it's all it's all thrown into the melting pot here and especially in a studio space like this it's such a shared experience for the actors on the audience i mean you know you're right there in touching distance tim johnson thank you thank you. and stephen john gibson is in patrick bob is the red line at london's trafalgar studios until the second of december but that's it for this year will be back on wednesday when we ask former u.k. security minister and chief of defense intelligence admiral lord west well the drays amaze you defense secretary gavin williamson wil

and iraqi civilians yes when it comes to the use of chemical weapons in the middle east it was mrs thatcher's conservative government and ronald reagan's republicans that catalyzed w m d slaughter amidst the debut of sunday's earthquake it may be of little consolation to survive as well because of british labor and can policy on iraq has been a wants icon to breathe the killing that started the movement he jots a war that began with the killing of father of six eric garner in new york the movement that now campaigns from toronto london england to melbourne from new jersey that thanks so much for coming back on the show so why is eric gone as story arguably so emblematic of what's wrong in the usa right now i think it's a perfect example of everything that's wrong with modern american policing because it was. particularly pointed example of what goes wrong when you use the statistics based approach that most american police departments use and they target my are criminals more. major criminals. terrorists are a perfect example of that also this case was incredibly important because it was real

we re will remember when interest rate were 15% at the end of the 1980s, but to 17% soon after mrs thatcherower so this is small potatoes when you are talking about half a percent. a lot of people can cope because only half of households on their home, less than half of them have a mortgage and of those, only half actually have variable rates so their mortgage rates won't necessarily go up. you mentioned the pound. in theory if interest rates go up, pound. in theory if interest rates go up, it is more attractive to hold pounds because that should push up the value of the pound but the markets have been expecting this. it is priced in and they are focused on what will happen next, the next interest rate rise. the indications there from the bank are that it will be very gradual so we are talking maybe another quarter point next year, maybe another quarter point after that the following year, 2019. very gradual, therefore if you are looking at holding pounds and the attractiveness of that, it is not so great perhaps as it was before the markets got this statement. andy verity, thank you. the c

at the lancaster house talks in london in 1979, mrs thatcher pushed smith to step down. elections followed and the white tyrant metamorphosed into a black one. to begin with, he sounded as nice as pie. this evening, mr mugabe made a television address in which he underlined his wish to create one multiracial society. it must be realised, however, that a state of peace and security can only be achieved by our determination, all of us, to be bound by the explicit requirements of peace contained in the lancaster house agreement. which expressed the general desire of the people of zimbabwe. but this is a mass grave in matabeleland where in the early 1980s the infamous 5th brigade, trained by north korean instructors, murdered as many as 20,000 people. mugabe's first wife died and he married his secretary, grace marufu, in 1996. she became a power beside the throne. as the decades rolled by, life in zimbabwe got bleaker for black and white alike. the currency crashed and the $100 trillion note was minted. food ran scarce and opposition leader morgan tsvangirai threatened mugab

mrs. thatcher in the u.k. and helmut kohl and mr.eagan ,ere very keen on globalization trying to raise economic prot of to the levels and generate strong growth. this involved outsourcing, importing capital from countries with supply. the competitive advantage drove economic growth. it led to dreadful compositional changes and we now have an economy that makes hardly anything and is highly dependent on financial services. so we have a challenge and growing heard activity from here. but that was decades ago, rather than a figment of the imagination of journalist in the last two or three years. samsung is said to double its dividend in 2018. we'll come back to some of your bigger picture a little later. there's a major chinese back stocks. this is what is going on in congress. chinese is targeting banks with sanctions. this is a risk, this is what he's threatening. this is the real stick he's jinpeng.ver xi >> i think the risk is internal to china because the policy is right in china has to dress big bubbles that of all -- always been

mrs thatcher, to her credit, went back to brussels and everybody knew she had won a budget addition andrything else. we have nothing to say in the referendum that was of benefit to renegotiation and nobody remembers a word of it. there are things in changing in europe to look at. to be clear, you are suggesting that the labour party should be holding out the possibility of people revisiting the possibility of people revisiting the decision if things change in the eu. i do think at this point you should have another referendum. but that possibility should be on the table? what i think you should be saying is, is then you evidence or a game changer or something that is different from what we have learned about what is happening in europe, all what is happening in britain that we have to look at. and the right time to assess that is when we have on the table what we think will be an inadequate achievement that bridges the red lines and does not give the leave campaign the satisfaction that it had of all these games from leaving europe. do you think the labour party should argue that now? -

there is already coming back to us the 5 billion that mrs thatcher negotiated from the unfair formular money from these funds, to see people who are hungry, maybe starving. and what did mr barnier and his group do? nothing. so, we have, supposedly, huge sums of money coming back at their direction. what it should be spent on but actually does not feed people who are hungry. mr chairman... mr hoyle, i want to end now by saying i will push this amendment to a division. i do so for a number of reasons. one is it always seems to me to get an advantage when you can, rather than later. a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush. while the government is introducing its own timetable, set by the european bureaucrats readily are instructed, where we might take leave of them, i think we should actually make a decision today and leaves on our terms and our time. but it is, as i say, this is a clause which ought not to be read in isolation. it has the other three clauses which gives us an alternative way of exiting without all the cla ptrap the alternative way of exiting without all the cl

mrs. thatcher's daughter, i was walking down the street where have you been? i haven't seen you. actually quite a pro-western small government business oriented regime that you can do business with. steve: speaking of useless conservative parties in the minds of some. steve bannon has been hyper critical of mitch mcconnell. says he doesn't believe he will be the majority leader this time next year. what do you think the future is of mitch mcconnell and the criticism of steve bannon and is it hinging on tax reform? >> the future of mitch mcconnell, pete, is like that scene in titanic that always brings you to tears. [laughter] as your comrades were mocking you for. i love that i love to be like with all -- what are we going to watch tonight? watch the greatest escape pete is like no, no. ♪ every time i see you. >> that's actually what the -- i would love to see the republican party do that to mitch mick council. republican party is kate winslet and mitch mcconnell is trying to hang onto the door and like kate, there comes a time when you have to say sorry, mitch, we have to let go

mr reliable. should the foreign secretary be sacked over comments about libya? more used to defending other errant colleagues. he had served four previous prime ministers, from theresa may back to margaret thatcheru got for me today? jobs in education, energy and business. he has been an mp since 1983. you need to have a conservative mp to put pressure on the government to do more and more. but a minister no more. one of the most senior government seats empty for tonight. somebody else's job for tomorrow, but the past can't be erased. police in new york say a man who drove into cyclists and pedestrians last night, killing eight people, had been planning the attack for several weeks and had been influenced by the islamic state group. the suspect, an immigrant from uzbekistan, has been interviewed by police in hospital. president trump said he'd ordered an increase in the extreme vetting of immigrants. our north america correspondent nick bryant has the latest. this is the kind of scene that preys on the minds of new yorkers, one that recalls the trauma of 9/11, one that reveals how this city is vulnerable to new forms of terror. a rented pick—up truck that became weaponised. a mode of attack that
