on april 24, 1971, the national peace action coalition, supported by welfare rights groups, labor unionsothers, held a massive demonstration in washington dc. some 175,000 people from all walks of life, with differing ideologies and purposes, marched from the white house to the white house to the capitol. washington has grown accustomed to this method of voicing dissent. this was an organized demonstration with parade permits, marshalls, and responsible leadership. the demonstrators' came, their positions on the war, racial descrimination and other issues were made known. officers of the metropolitan police were directed to maintain a low visibility profile. their role was, as always, to protect the constitutional rights of citizens, intervening only to meet emergency situations. there were few laws broken, few arrests. most who came in the name of peace returned to their jobs and homes or schools. but some who came to break the peace stayed on in west potomac park. for them, the april 24 rally was only a prelude to mayday, an opportunity to advance their own well-defined aim, to shut do

right back in the 1990s when the labour government started with what was then the national minimum wage, then the coalitioning wage, in essence it is all part of a long—term process to try to bring the incomes of the lowest pa id to try to bring the incomes of the lowest paid up but in the end, is that really having an effect? because a lot of people are still in jobs classed as being in poverty. the increases in the national living wage have led to the first significant fall in low pay in the uk in decades. that is a welcome thing but you touched on something thatis thing but you touched on something that is really important, that is there is a difference between the pay that individuals receive, and the incomes that families as a whole receive and yes we do have a high proportion of families in the uk who are adults working but still in poverty and that is to do with yes the fact that wages have not been going across wage levels —— growing, but also because there are cuts to some other things at lower paid rely on such as universal credit and other forms of welfare support. so all these different things

however, the republican jewish national coalition issued a statement last night that read in part this is truly an historic and important moment for jewish americans. president trump has extended to jewish students very strong, meaningful legal protection from anti-semitic discrimination. they mirror those in the general public and been on the rise in recent years. according to the latest f.b.i. statistics from 2018, 57.8% of hate crimes across the united states were anti-jewish. far surpassing all other forms of hate crimes. sandra, back to you. >> sandra: doug mcelway at the white house. thanks. >> bill: big event happens in 33 minutes. michael horowitz arriving on the hill ahead of a hearing that will begin at 10:00 a.m. eastern time. senator lindsey graham chairs that hearing. the senate judiciary committee has plenty of questions about his conclusion that there was no political bias with a launch of the f.b.i. investigation, russia ties 2016. we've got a lot to get to and a lot to go through. bret baier, chris wallace, martha maccallum all on deck with analysis next. cut. liberty

coalition airstrikes according to the u.n. assistance mission in afghanistan. to talk through some of the key issues here we've got we're going live to chris nineham who is a national officer and deputy chair of the stop the war coalition chris tell me is that any justification for killing civilians even if it the only way to stop the taliban or even is even killing fighters themselves through such strain strikes we need even more in egypt yes. well i mean the strategy that has been pursued in afghanistan really since the very beginning in 2001 has been a complete disaster it's an 18 year war that is actually appears to be getting worse now we've reached the highest level of civilian casualties for probably a decade this year in afghanistan it clearly isn't working this is the longest war the us is ever been involved in it's 4 times longer more than 4 times longer than the 1st world war it's a disaster the whole operation the whole project of this is a disaster at the same time as they're conducting the us and the afghan government conducting these murderous. drug tyrants and bombing raids they're also trying to negotiate with the taliban and that doesn't make sens

how much money this was costing the united states and coalition in terms of the security forces to reduce the bill that he was asking other nations to pay. so, the other thing i would point out, if you take a step back from the conflict and you look at our height, we had 140,000 coalition forces there, and today where you have around 20,000 coalition forces, it is the afghan security forces who are bearing the brunt of the fight, and they have been for years. and they are willing to do that. and so dependency is not just financial. you look at they have taken the fight to the end. when we came out of the warsaw summit with a delivery of four more years of security assistance, one of the first things president ghani and i did was sit down and do an assessment, what was working, what was not working, what needed to be fixed. he was cognizant of that timeli timeline, 2024, and how we could deliver more of a self-sustaining security force by that time. of course, the best way to deliver a -- is to lower the level of violence. obviously, a peace agreement, an enduring peace agreement, would lead to a lower level of violence, which wou

speaking skeptical about the future of the coalition between social democrats miracle's conservatives and so this could lead to is a change in the germany's national government let's talk about that these people are critics of this coalition how what is this bill for the longevity of the government right what they have sadie's the they want to renegotiate the coalition agreement is the basis of the government they want to see much more much clearer social democrat policies in that things like massive program of investment for the climate for infrastructure also increasing germany's minimum wage for instance and various other things like that they say if they don't get that they don't get those need policies then they are inclined to withdraw support for the coalition the conservatives on their side except a leader anyway has said the question of renegotiating that coalition agreements are pretty much seems is the 2 partners in government are on collision course and what we're going to see is probably least a period of minority government for the conservatives next year and i would predict a. you know the next election if you're set for 2021 will b

and might be if the iraqi national security council says it's going to rethink its relationship with the us led anti eisel coalition what if things go from here well that's a very serious indication indeed of full cream relations between the us and iraq which have not been too strong at all recently particularly with that power struggle going on within iraq and now there you heard from the iraqi national security council now a senior state department official says that iraq had the opportunity to protect u.s. personnel within the area as what he said were invited guests he insists that iraq has failed to do certain giving the indication that this attack was carried out because the iraqis were unable to guarantee the security of u.s. forces who the state department official says were invited into iraq by the iraqi government but one must also note that reports from iraq indicate that the iraqi government was informed of the strikes short time before they happened the caretaker prime minister asked us not to carry out these strikes the u.s. continued to do so so now raised into question the whole question of iraqi so

joining me in pennsylvania, senior technical adviser to national election defense coalition and chiefzens for better elections, kevin skogland. there are commissions in the federal government, cyber taskforces, they're all working on this. we have i believe 3300 counties in this country, most under 50,000 people. a lot of different election systems. james comey called it a bit of a hair ball. that can be a good thing when it comes to hacking. >> it is. elections are challenging field to secure because it is so distributed, because the law in different places functions differently. but it does benefit us somewhat, but there are different systems out there because those systems may have vulnerabilities that other systems don't. >> we look towards voting machines and worry about hacking individual voting machines, worried about malfunctions like in north hampton. federal election officials are more worried about the centralized system, voter registration databases, voter rolls. what happens if one of those is compromised a week before an election, a day before an election, a month before

he is my co-chair the mission republican party but he also served as the national work of the trump coalition. there's no stronger voice for american workers than terri bowman. he does double duty working full-time for coordinator company and full-time for republicans. let's get my good friend harry bowman a runner-up was. i when i ran for the missing republican party i said every day i would take the fight to the democrats. i made a commitment when i ran for michigan party -- opposite party chair that every day i would take the fight to the democrats.

he also hasn't been able to form a coalition government, a national unity government and so, the likudaker and ultimately the right wing will lose its grip on power and mr netanyahu's rivals, allied to more centrist and leftist parties, will get in. it is about party politics, about pragmatic things like will they keep their seats? there is a great deal loyalty towards mr neta nyahu in the party itself, a tradition of fierce loyalty to the leader. nobody has ever unseated an incumbent before. but if it looks as if he is gradually going to lose his grip or touch in terms of providing them seats in government, you may see this dissent grow. they are celebrating hannukah holidays there, how do they feel about another election, they have a third general election coming up and a vote within the likud party, is there some fatigue setting in? the fatigue has very much set in, there was a great deal of unhappiness when the third election was announced, and a blame game on either side, in mr netanyahu's party but also his main rival, both of whom tried to form a coalition government had been at

if the scottish national party were in a coalition with a labour minority government, they would want their pledge, a referendum on scottish independence. plaid cymru is another of the parties that wants a second referendum on brexit. the green party would prefer the focus was on the climate crisis. £100 billion a year over a decade to tackle climate change, mainly paid for by borrowing. and the brexit party, not a manifesto — they call it a people's charter — but clearly their top policy is to leave all the institutions of the eu and restore the primacy of uk law. so, there you have it. of course, there are policies as well for those parties that are standing in northern ireland. if you want to go and have a look at the manifestos in full in more detail, it is all there on the website. you can choose a nation, select a party and have a look at the details they've set out. so what are the chances of any party gaining a majority? jeremy vine has been looking at the numbers. let me show you first of all the result of the last general election — 326 seats needed for a majority in the hou
