murray? >> i'm not a geologist. i can tell you that here along the ohio river and the utica shale, we have got according to the experts, we have got more resource under our feet than we know what to do with. some people say we have more gas and oil under our feet here along the ohio river than saudi arabia does. but that's not the point. the point is that it's going to take more than one energy source to provide the base load for our energy grid. coal has been doing it since right after world war i. maybe even longer than that. during america's industrialization period, it was coal fired energy that provided the energy for america to build and to innovate. many of the industries that manufacturing industries that came about, came about because they were powering their manufacturing operations with coal fired energy. so, look. we can talk all day about how inexpensive natural gas is and that is a market factor. that's true. but the truth of the matter is we need both natural gas and coal to provide america's energy n

looking to the future as well as andy murray.oking to find form before the grand slams start. in truth, few expected him to be troubled by coric, but the world number 59 broke murray five times, and as he had not even qualified for this tournament initially, given a place of hercules, this was not a chance he was going to give up. he was frustrated enough to give the 20 of the opportunity he needed. a straight sets win and fast progress does come in many forms, andy murray whitby progressing in madrid any further. most things weren't working particularly well. it wasn't great. i started the match 0k particularly well. it wasn't great. i started the match ok but when i started to go behind, i didn't find any way to improve my game to make it any more difficult for him. i kind of let the same things keep happening, making mistakes very early in the lot of the rallies. i wasn't building any points, really, so wasn't building any points, really, sol wasn't building any points, really, so i didn't help myself to find a way into the ma

and let's add our birthday wishes to murray, who turned 30 today.low key birthday for the world number one this year. he beat novak djokovic to lift the italian open title on his 29th birthday last year. his mum judy retweeted this video adding: "cake is for sharing, right?" we agree with her. that's all from sportsday. there'll be more sport here on bbc news throughout the evening. it's just after 20 to seven. the top stories for you now. the cabinet emergency committee has been meeting after the cyber attack which affected the nhs and is still causing disruption in some areas with routine operations cancelled. jeremy corbyn has promised an extra £37 billion for the nhs and shorter hospital waiting times. an update on the market numbers for you — here's how london's and frankfurt ended the day. and in the the united states this is how the dow and the nasdaq are getting on. the new french president, emmanuel macron, has been meeting the german chancellor, angela merkel, in berlin this evening. it's president macron's first foreign visit since his in

and andy murray has been one to voice his concerns.s reaction to the latest opportunity afforded to sharapova. the tournaments, clearly, than to do what. most tickets, get the most people in to watch. i am sure the lta saw the coverage given to last's match, given to maria's run in stuttgart, the media were there covering it. ithink stuttgart, the media were there covering it. i think that is what is best for the tournament in birmingham, buti best for the tournament in birmingham, but i am sure it has put a lot of opinion. i am sure discussions were long and there were some disagreements, that they have done what they think it's right for that event. they may be having thought as much about the wider implications, though. the tour de france champion chris froome has been knocked off his bike while training near his home in monaco. the british rider, who was unhurt, posted this picture on social media, writing: "just got rammed on purpose by an impatient driver who followed me onto the pavement!"

no wonder he's smiling — fabio fognini knocks out defending champion andy murray.aris gets the presidential seal of approval to host the 2024 olympics. hi there, wherever you are around the world. welcome to sport today. arsenal have given themselves one final chance to sneak into the champions league next season. the gunners beat sunderland 2—0 to keep themselves in a top—four tussle with manchester city and liverpool. arsenal manager arsene wenger told the bbc, "we've got in on the final day many times" before. alexis sanchez‘s brace means the gunners could yet secure a top—four finish by beating everton at home on sunday, but only if fourth—place liverpool, who are a point above them, fail to beat middlesbrough. arsenal could also mathematically catch third placed manchester city but that is a more complicated equation. 71 last year, we were second, at the moment we have 72 and we want of course to go to 75, to focus on that after. we have to deal with what happens, but we want to give everything to get to 75. at the etihad stadium, pep guardiola's team moved up

senator murray. senator murray: thank you, senator schumer. you know, i've had to they far too often recently, but people are really scared right now. i've heard from so many of them in my home state of washington and across the country about how trumpcare threatens their health, their family's health, and their ability to make ends meet. and today's cbo score tells us what we already knew about trumpcare. and it confirms the worst fears of families across the country. under trumpcare, if you're one of the hundreds of millions of people in the united states who has a preexisting condition, or if you're a woman, your health care costs could go up dramatically. if you are on medicaid, you could lose that coverage along with tens of millions of other people. if you are a planned parenthood patient, you're very likely going to lose your provider, the one you trust, because of politicians in washington, d.c. but if you're a big health care corporation, odds are good you're going to look at a massive tax break. and, of course, if you are president t

i know, having spoken to senator murray, she's ready to roll up her sleeves and go to work and to writea revision to the health care bill, the health care system in america. but there have been no hearings, none, on the measure passed by the house of representatives, so when the republican leader says he wishes the democrats would join in the effort, this committee is ready and willing to work, and i'm sure if he picked up the phone and called senator alexander and senator murray, they could get to work on doing a much better job than what the house of representatives did. why am i so critical of the house of representatives? not because of the traditional rivalry between the chambers but because yesterday the congressional budget office took a look at the bill that passed the u.s. house of representatives three weeks ago by two votes. it was all republicans voting for and passed by two. a number of republicans refused to support it. it had no support from the democratic side. it was an unusual bill because it went out of the regular order of business. the regular order of business sugg

murray talk about this earlier, what happened in europe? i have traveled to europe also.'ve talked to some of the energy leaders in europe about why they are returning to a higher profile or higher mix of coal-fired energy and their energy profiles. it's because they are unwillingg to pay the exorbitantly high prices for energy that their residential commercial customers have been forced to pay and so europe has learned a toughgh lesson of what it does to a nation when it shuts down your coal energy.y. coal is still the most reliablew form of energy on the planet. we needed along with natural gas but he's right, a lot of the components for solar energy are made overseas. we need those jobs created here at home. how do we do that? keeper coal industry going. we have done a lot of work. even the epa has said so themselves. lorene matter in the atmosphere in the united states, we are doing our part. we have learned how to use coale responsibly and environmentally sound late. we should continue to do so. >> host: for our listeners we been showing this chart showing the annual

it is because 1972 rod murray final pushed out of its job as u.s. vaccine regulator and regulation was moved over to fda. so this polio virus vaccine became first on the u.s. market made in the wi38 cell. but what happened to leonard? well remember we left him back in 1962 having arrived to cells under that contract that said he had to hand them become over when contract was up. by 1968 he was tired of being treated as a second class citizen by hillary and rest of the world class biologists at institute and he found himself a better job at sanford. that's again to reminding you of him -- he had designed whoops -- hang on -- he had designed from wi38 cell by 1968 he made a rubella vaccine and cells were there in abundance and freezer in bottom of the basement of the withstar institute and who hated dealing with finances and was constantly in a financial pickle troying to keep institute afloat wrote a letter to big british company saying, now a patented recipe of rubella vaccine and give you you all you need medical record to it make it. let's take a

murray became world number one last november but lost to dominic thiem at the barcelona open last weekmasters the previous week. this year, as i have been reminded a lot, i have not done well, haven't played well. i am still number one in the world. i have been for the last 25, 26 weeks. but i have not been playing as well. so i have stayed there based off the hard work that went into last year. so in my opinion, it has been harder to get their, or if you want to stay there for two, three, four years, that is going to be incredibly challenging. but right now, the end of last year was tough for me. it took a lot out of me. and you know, getting there was harderfor me, personally. and it's time to cast your vote for this year's bbc women's footballer of the year award. five nominees are up for the public vote and all week on sport today we're hearing from those who've been shortlisted. after some penalty shoot out heroics at the rio olympics, could the swedish goalkeeper hedvig lindahl be this year's winner? my my name is hedvig lindahl. my name is hedvig lindahllj my name is hedvig lind

would have said a few months ago, senator patty murray of washington, but it seems like there's been a bit of a track share in the bipartisanship that usually comes along with education issues. where do you guys see them standing on moving education legislation through the pipeline ? i'm thinking maybe a career tech ed. there is bipartisanship around that. what is realistic for us to expect? anyone can take this. >> i will start. pre-esa thatsaid the opportunity was limited, but i was surprised when it ultimately made it all the way through and got signed into law, so anything can happen. it will be interesting to see if something like a federal tax credit, new, national federal tax credit were to move forward.

. >> thank you senator murray. the house of representatives tried to put lipstick on a pig and they created a really big mess. i want to kick off a couple of areas that we have been touching on in the finance committee. what is still intact is more than $800 billion in medicaid cuts. these medicaid cuts are going to hit american communities like a wrecking ball. the pain is going to be felt throughout the ages. youngsters with special needs are going to be affected because medicaid plays a key role in their care. that is why i saw some advocates and tears when they are talking to me at home about the medicaid cuts. if you are a high school student and you have a brush with cancer because they blow holes in the current protections for americans against discrimination with pre-existing conditions, those high school students, hopefully they have a remission, but they would be carrying around a scarlet letter through the rest of their lives. . . >> >> when i looby doing them is using that time to make sure we can stop

m the odd thing is to me, i know charles murray very, very well.ore civilized human being. if you read his book, "coming apart," the professors ate middlebury read it, said it is a middle-of-the-road approach to things. but because murray wrote the bell curve, stratification, they would not let him speak. this is an outrage. let me get right to the point. can this stop? yes, if the people in charge, and the students were not in charge, i know it's cliche to say the inmates run asylum, the doctors are running the asylum, the doctors are the administration on the faculty and they are quacks and they need to stand up and say what the college or university is for. my only argument with charles that he shouldn't have stood there for so long. and don't think he should have stood there for an hour and taken it. where was the administrator who would step up and say, stop this, you will be arrested if you keep this up, you will bee expelled. this does happen, tucker, occasionally, at other campuses. ohio state, they handled it very well. at middlebury, they

and then he said not you, murray, not you. i mean, i'm surprised to see you here, a kempton in this courtroom? and i have to just assume that it was a wayward impulse that led you here. well, murray kempton never got over that. [laughter] he too was very brilliant. but it's true that there was a lot of ambivalence in my, in my, what should i call it, justification of the ambition for success. but the fact that i see now clearly, there wasn't much you could say in the year 1967 in new york or in the united states generally, i think, that would be more offensive than to say that it is better to succeed than to fail, it's better to be rich than to be poor and that it's better to be powerful than powerless. and that the life, the life lived by those who are successful and was generally in those days the middle class values was to be commended and not sneered at. and there was nothing more sneerable at than what was called middle class values in that period. and so i started this book, writing this book in 1965 when things were on

dundee united ended the season second in the champiuonship, and their striker simon murray was sent offend for a second booking for diving. clubs can appeal against bookings for simulation so murray could still play in the second leg which takes place on sunday. after the departure of pablo zabaleta from manchester city, four more senior players are to leave this summer. gael clichy, bacary sagna, willy caballero and jesus navas will all leave as free agents. navas signed for city from sevilla in 2013 and made 123 premier league appearances for the club. he's been linked with a move back to the spanish side. there's been no news yet about midfielder yaya toure‘s future at the club. the first significant sporting event in manchester since since monday's terrorist attack took place this evening. manchester city took on chelsea in the women's super league at the academy stadium. there was increased security at the ground ahead of kick off. city won the match itself by a goal to nil, toni duggan the scorer. it means they now move above chelsea ladies into second place, a point behind leader

white house correspondent sarah murray joining us live from brussels. good morning to you. what is ahead for the president today. >> reporter: good morning. well, from the style legs early on in the foreign trip, now to substance, today right now president trump is meeting with leaders of the european union. later this afternoon he'll have a working lunch with the newly minted french president and then heads over here for the nato summit. now, as you pointed out, president trump has since revised his belief that nato is obsolete but advisers say he's expected to press our allies to spend more money on defense. you can bet there will be a particularly robust conversation about terrorism threats in europe in light of those manchester attacks. now, on from there, another big issue to watch for, the president is still weighing whether to send troops to afghanistan. he'll be soliciting opinions from allies and trying to get a sense of whether nato would be willing to put its own military force behind that initiative if the president goes through with it. and last but not least,

murray, there's a rub. the water district is raising rates to pay for more infrastructure projects like this. and that's not all. part of the reason the east bay municipal utility district is hiking fees is that during the california drought, urban area residents cut back on water use by more than 20%. that meant a decline in revenues for water districts throughout the state, and dozens of them have hiked rates to help pay for infrastructure. murray, who even stopped watering his backyard during the drought, is skeptical of the more than 9% increase next year. >> i don't think inflation is going up to that extent. i think it would be more fair and equitable if it stayed at pace with that. >> reporter: but east bay officials say their hands are tied. like many water districts, their fixed costs are 90% of their total costs, and revenues mostly come from water bills. with some infrastructure projects that were put on hold during the economic downturn nearly a decade ago, and rising water main breaks during th

murray was the runner up in madrid last year to novak djokovic.is overall ranking points and threaten his world number one status. that's it from sport today. you can get all the latest sports news at our website — that's bbc.com/sport. goodbye. hi there. we had some glorious sunshine yesterday across western parts of the country once again. these were the clear skies in abersock, north—west wales. we have had a lot of sunshine over the last few days across western parts of the country. but if i run through the last few days in the east, you can see rather cloudier weather in from the north sea, with pesky winds bringing cloud across much of central and eastern england in particular. it hasn't felt warm either under the cloudy skies. however, the weather is going to change because the wind is changing direction. we're not bringing cloud from the north sea. the pressure is relatively higher on wednesday. the winds will be a little bit lighter. it will be sunny and warm day for many parts of the country. yes, warmth on the way but it will be a chill

back to you guys. >> sara murray, thank you. you heard h.r.ter refer to the story as "as reported." now, the national security adviser essentially saying that if there is so much as a single detail in the "post" report that is wrong, well, then they can dismiss the whole thing. one of the story's authors, national security correspondent greg miller, telling cnn that the white house claim that the president did not reveal sources and methods pushes back against something the "post" never, in fact, reported. >> i think that the white house is playing word games here to that effect to try to blunt the impact of this story, nor do any of these white house officials who are denouncing this story, nor have any of them offered any explanation why this was also above board and not problematic in any way, why did the national security council coming out of this meeting feel it was necessary to contact the cia director and the director of the national security agency to give them a heads-up on what trump had just told the russians? >> so, the report tha

it's not just coast, murray, aberdeenshire and so on.ce but brexit on the common fisheries policy, which is a key issue to vote is up there. the murray constituency voted 50—50 four brexit whereas the rest of scotland voted usually to remain in the uk. a lot of local issues going on there but for the tories they are the two areas they are focused on. interestingly, there are focused on. interestingly, there are some big hitters for the snp with constituencies in the north—east. that kind of ed balls, michael portillo moment, that's what the tories will be looking for on june the 8th. angus robertson for example, his seat. they will be looking for symbolic hits but more broadly at least picking up a handful of seats. they only have one at the moment so in a sense the only way is up but if they get anything approaching double figures, they will feel that they will have shifted their momentum in scottish politics and we will be at a new era. it's good to talk to you. polling day is onjune 8th, but the deadline to register to vote is tomorro

last year murray lost in the final to novak djokovic.'s beaten twice before — but not surprisingly murray says he's concerned about his recent form. i need to accept that i am struggling, and then find a way to get through it, you know? i will get through it, i'm sure of that. when that happens, i don't know. hopefully it happens in a few days, hopefully it happens at this event. if it doesn't, maybe it happens during the grass. britain's johanna konta is the seventh seed in the women's draw, despite never having won a match at the french open. herfirst—round tie is against the world number 109 from taiwan, hsieh su—wei. actually i really enjoy this part of the season. especially this year it has presented me with new challenges, and new opportunities to grow, to look to improve as a player and a competitor. i think i am trying to take advantage of that as much as possible, and otherwise what specifically i will be looking to stay here for as long as possible. that's all from sportsday. arsenal have lifted the fa cup for the 13th time in

andy murray continues his preparations for the french open in a fortnight‘s time at the madrid mastersromania's marius copil. more needs to be done to highlight mental health issues within football according to one player who has tried to take his own life. forfar striker david cox was speaking after figures showing almost two thirds of scottish footballers surveyed said they had experience of the issue. chris mclaughlin reports. footballing highs, celebration, reward and recognition. but for some there is another side. for some the dressing room, usually packed, noisy and buzzing, can be the loneliest place in the world. everything just got to be too much. this player has been open about his illness in the past. he has tried to ta ke illness in the past. he has tried to take his life on three occasions. you do not get to where you want to 90, you do not get to where you want to go, you have a dream to be a football player and of course it is going to put pressure on people. people come and pay money to come and see you and some of the things that i said after game. in one game icame o

sara murray, then. i'm getting different messages here. sara murray, to you.ite house -- the president just said, specifically did not tell the nato members that we have your back. he specifically did not recommit to article five there. are you getting a sense from the people there who helped him prepare these remarks if that was a specific message that he intended to send? >> reporter: well, we did not get a good sense of whether the president would say that himself. we heard his advisers in the run-up to this say that they supported article five and they believed that we are sort leaders of nato, but i think it was a bit of a slap in the face to other members, and you could see that when president trump was talking a little bit in their facial expressions as he was continuing to talk about how everyone needs to pay their fair share but never sort of voiced his own commitment to article five or the fact that he would have the back of other members of nato. >> christiane amanpour, let me just bring you back in here as we look at these pictures. this is quite a

sara murray, thanks for coming on. appreciate it. >>> okay, the house gop health care bill would leave 23 million more americans uninsured. that's according to a report by the non-partisan congressional budget office. the cbo predicts 51 million americans won't have health coverage by 2026. compare that to 28 million under obamacare with 14 million fewer enrolled in medicaid. americans losing health insurance creates ammunition for critics of the bill, and it's the main objection that's being raised by moderate republicans, but conservatives like that it lowers both the deficit and premiums for many people. average costs do go down after an initial spike, but the sickest americans end up paying more. prices also depend on where you live. you look under the bill, states can waive protections for pre-existing conditions, so what the analysis does here is it divides the market in three. so you see premiums fall 4% in states that don't lose protections and 20% lower in states with moderate changes. but here's the thing, th
