my lords, i very much agree with the noble lady on that issue.hesive communities that we have. as a teacher of islamic law, i would like to make a correction to the statement. islam accepts all religions that preceded it. all religions of the book are respected and accepted. and this is a koranic teaching. therefore there is no time for respect for anyone who demonises any religion and that should include islam as well. my lords will the noble lord, the minister, agree with me that pursuing anti—terrorism is notjust the business of the government but all citizens in the united kingdom? therefore, if you do not mind an african saying, that when two elephants fight or make love, the grass gets hurt. what won't work is either side of the house thinking it is doing a betterjob than another. all of us are involved in trying to resist terrorism and it doesn't matter where it comes from. john sentamu. finally. back to prime minister's questions where a conservative was getting into the world cup spirit. nick boles thought it was time for a show of suppo

and it turned out to be the day of the cher noble -- chernobyl meltdown.ewspapers were filled with news about that terrible crisis going on in what was then the soviet union. radiation was being detected in clouds over scandinavia. there was a huge fear that this was going to be drifting over the united states. it cancelled out all other news. only a few days later did the library fire get mentioned. so i think it was kind of interesting that these two catastrophic events, while they're on different scales, but the catastrophic event of cher noble -- chernobyl wiped out all other news for the day. >> what happened, how did it start? >> there's a lot of question about how the fire began. it clearly started in the fiction department in the stacks, which are those singular -- essentially tubes of book storage. it was assumed that it was arson. and the next several years they pursued who might have started that fire kept the los angeles fire department very, very busy. they ended up arresting someone who had confessed to the arson who then recanted claiming th

my lords i would like to think the noble baroness for her question and the noble baroness is quite rightooked at seriously and this is why my right honourable friend, the home secretary, and my right honourable friend, the prime minister, have been discussing this issue. progress as i said it will be made in the very near future. given the fact that we are tens of thousands of doctors short, will the minister explained to the house and through this house to the british people why they are prepared to put their health at risk by refusing thousands upon thousands of doctors who have been recruited the right to come into this country? my lords, as the noble lord will be aware, we have taken as a priority to actually increase the doctor numbers in this country. a record number of undergraduates will begin medical training by 2020 with 1500 new funded places and five new medical schools. the noble lord mightjest but this is a very serious matters. practise what is also known my lords, the migration has recognised being a shortage in the uk, and given a priority on the soul, no one in the spec

i think probably many noble lords know personally the benefits of yoga.ve any impact on obesity, although it does have many other benefits, as the noble lord has pointed out. it is something that schools can and do use as part of their repertoire within the pe curriculum, to provide exercise for children, although it doesn't, as i say, count towards the moderate and higher levels of activity that are demanded in the pe curriculum. my lords, would the minister agree that inactivity... exercise doesn't deal with the obesity problem at all. there's only one way of dealing with obesity, and that's eating less. but would he also agree that pregnant women who are obese transfer that tendency of obesity to their offspring by a mechanism which we don't understand which is called epigenetics? and while we're on the subject, could i congratulate the minister as a shining example of controlling his measurements? because i notice that his waist measurement is less than half his height. i'm wondering how my noble friend has made such an accurate assessment. he didn't

once a noble vision for the council. -- we have no doubt that there was once a noble vision for the council. there are now a poor defender of human rights. worse than that, the council has become an exercise in shameless hypocrisy, with many of the world's worst human rights abuses going ignored and some of the series offenders sitting on the council it self. and aly thing worse council that does almost nothing to protect human rights is a council that covers for human rights abuses and is an obstacle to progress. the human rights council enables abuses by absolving wrongdoers through science -- through silence. a look around the world today demo rates the council has failed and its dated objective. the membership includes authoritarian governments such as china, cuba, and venezuela. competitive process. against israel it is uncomfortable. and againsteation, the rest of the world combined. the united aids has no opposition in principle to multilateral bodies working to protect human rights. it reflects america's commitme

can the noble lords and minister tell us what you think president trump meant by that statement?can we actually see in terms of actually delivering change for the people of north korea who suffered so horrendously? the noble lord's quite right, the suffering of the dprk is of the utmost importance and must ever forget. as the noble lord said, yes, president trump did mention that human rights issues including the treatment of christians were discussed and would be discussed further. it is very important that these discussions continue. will her majesty's government please ensure that the president of the us is aware that this regime is the same as it has been for many decades, the dictator kim jong—un is the same man that had his half—brother murdered not two years ago in an airport in malaysia, and indeed has had his uncle as cute at virtually every came to power. human rights abuses remain and we have that we must be incredibly cautious in this. senior ministers have admitted the disclosure of evidence to the defence in criminal cases has be the crown prosecution service — the

jordan noble was born in augusta, georgia, about 1800. he is the offspring of a european parent and a slave parent. at the time of the battle of new orleans, this is 1814, jackson begins mobilizing men for the defense of the city, jordan noble is going to be volunteered by his current owner to serve as a drummer boy. and the one thing i try to remind people about drummer boys is that it's more than just simply beating a beat. every order that is given on a battlefield has a core responding beat -- corresponding beat. and that is because in the heat of battle, when there's loud cannon fire and musket fire and smoke and you can't hardly hear or see, the beat of that drum would tell men what to do. so he serves as a drummer boy. at the time of the battle of new orleans, he's serving in the climactic engagement that happens on january 8, 1815, and it's one of the more dramatic episodes in american history. i've often argued it's really what we call the first american victory. well, during that battle jordan noble is right near jackson the who

this guy jordan noble, he spends, he has a long life and dies in the summer of 1890. he seems service and for worse, he had whole held distinction as being a veteran of fort worth. he is the person that is most notably acknowledged as a black participant for the americans in the war of 1812. i'll tell you the story about a slave named charles de gaulle, he was in coward county maryland. about 18 seven, his owners sold him to south georgia. and charles ball claimed that he got there, he was able to escape. georgia, he traveled only at night he lived off of the land. and it took him about a year and a half to get back to calvert county maryland. my first question was where why and how would you go back there if your owner sold you from there. >> the time he got back, his owner was dead area and he went back because he had family there, a wife and kids . but when you get back, his owner is dead. he begins hiring himself out as a laborer. >> and the people in the neighborhood know he's a former slave but a higher him anyway. and by the time of the war of 1812, he is ackno

this myth centers on the idea of noble rebels fighting against an oppressive government, and it becomest view of the war for over a century. but by ignoring slavery and the root of its origin, white supremacy, the lost cause has helped ensure that we are still fighting an ideological brother-versus-brother war today. >> the end of the civil war restores a divided nation, bringing back together families, friends, and soldiers who once fought on the same side. but the reunited america is a new country where the old social order has been changed, and those on the losing end create the lost cause myth, trying to give the confederate fight a more honorable basis than slavery. >> when i went to grade school, it was drummedome to us that it had not been about slavery, that that's an excuse that radicals and agitators had mistakenly applied to the conflict for generations, and it's hard to get past it. there are people who still believe that it had nothing to do with slavery. it had everything to do with slavery. >> the confederacy secedes and goes to war to protect slavery, helping america mai

i'm grateful to my noble friend. and viscount.a friend and i have always found him very highly intelligent and very entertaining. however, on this particular point, on a point of clarification, could he say whether it remains his position that he wishes at all costs to destroy brexit? and that, in fact... you are an idiot. could he say, on a point of clarification, whether he wishes to destroy brexit? that is not a very parliamentary suggestion, i might say to the noble lord. and that this amendment is about sabotaging brexit because that means to be the case. on the second point of clarification, could he tell us what discussions he has had with the opposition frontbench on this amendment? yes, it is perfectly true that i have had negotiations and talks with the opposition frontbench. quite right too. with the liberal democrats as well, and with many crossbenchers. quite right. and i make absolutely no apology for that. this is the high court of parliament, and we are not party —— hacks. well, peers backed lord hailsham, inflicti

brian nobles. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, if there's one thing we learned yesterday, there may be many voices coming out of the white house but only one that matters -- donald trump's. despite that there were many in the administration, even prominent republican members of congress that cautioned the president against pushing ahead with the summit on june 12th, especially after it was the president who initially canceled the summit, the president instead forged ahead saying that he wanted to get it done and was going to make it happen. after coming out of the meeting with one of the top lieutenants to north korean leader kim jong-un, the president surprised everyone by announcing that june 12th summit is back on. the way that the president was able to pull this off is by dialing back expectations in a big way. initially the summit was designed to begin talks of denuclearization on the korean peninsula. perhaps even calling for an end to the korean war. now president trump and his assoc
