what does populism mean? i think it means little more than i don't really like this person or this policy. they will have noticed that the term racism has a similar all-purpose content free aura of malignancy but exploring that topic will take us further afield so we'll save that for another day. thinking about the term populism reminds us that certain words accumulate a nimbus of positive associations and they shoulder a portfolio of bad feelings. for example, consider the two very different careers of the terms democracy on one hand and populism on the other hand. democracy is a you logistic word. it produces vibrations. people feel good about themselves when they use the word democracy. but it's quite otherwise with populism. this should seem quite odd because the word populism occupies a semantic space very close to democracy. democracy means what. it means rule by the people. populism according to the american heritage dictionary describes a political philosophy directed to the needs of the common people

but what does populism mean? 99 times out of 100 it means little more -- i don't like this person or this policy. connoisseurs not to be confused with the german philosopher can't will have noticed the term racism has a similar all-purpose content free malignant. exploring that will take us further afield. thinking about the term populism reminds us that certain words accumulates positive associations and others semantically just as innocuous wind up shouldering a portfolio of bad feelings. a few different careers the terms democracy on the one hand and populism on the other hand. and produces pleasant vibrations, people feel good about themselves when they use the word democracy but otherwise populism. this should seem quite odd because the word populism occupies a semantic space very close to democracy. democracy means what? by the people. populism according to the american heritage dictionary describes, quote, a political philosophy directed to the needs of the common people advancing a more equitable distribu

the population of ramsey county is 540,000 people.f of the county's residents actually reside in the city of st. paul. and my work as a commissioner is elected out of a community of about 80,000 people in a diverse section of st. paul. in 2013 in ramsey county, we began to focus our deeper understanding of our characteristi characteristics, our strengths, our needs, our assets, and on population data as critical to informing the work that we do to ensure that we have a healthy and vibrant community. that would be in public safety. in employment. in health. in justice in housing. in all areas of life in our county. our foundational document, which was called "building our future," drew four simple, but pervasive conclusions. first is that our people are our future. the second is that we needed to employ intensity of land, that that would matter as we worked to serve our people. that new partnerships, different than the traditional partnerships we've held on to for a long time. and in addition to many of those partnerships would make a

look at history, look at the growth in the working age population. as opposed to that, look to the right and what we project. we are projecting much much reduced growth going forward in working age population. to put some numbers on it, the slowest decade over the past 50 years, the working age population grew by about .8%. year. a little less than 1%. year. that was the slowest decade of the last 50 years. going forward, the next 20 years, we project the working age population will only grow by about .3%. year. so about a third less. we can discuss this in the question-and-answer period, i'm an economist. an economist, what they think is the way the u.s. standard of living goes up is two ways. productivity, what you get. worker, and how many workers you've got to in the growth and labor force. so this is a headwind. when the current administration wants to set, as a goal, 3% annual growth, that's the number they are shooting for and talking about. this is the headwind. it will be difficult to make 3% growth on a study, continuing basis, year after y

this population explosion matters.more so in niger, all of these young people are a bonus if a country is on the rise but can also be a burden. translation: the immediate consequences of having such a high birth rate is that it is impossible to feed, educate, and care for all of these children in the short—term. in the long—term the very survival of the country is threatened unless we take this window of opportunity to make the most of this youth dividend. it could threaten the survival of the country and encourage different things like terrorism and immigration. there are fewjobs in the countryside. on both sides of this border between nigeria and northern niger, boko haram recruit idle youth. those who can head to the big urban areas. from here, we followed one man who has left to make it big in lagos. it's a well—trodden route from this quiet rural village to the city. his family are talking about the son and brother, the husband and father, who left his wife and one—year—old boy behind. translation: we don't have m

this is a working age population, but provides the basics of the u.s. labor force. and wait until you see here, it's a sand chart, don't worry about the sand. just look at the top line, the total working age population, you see a vertical line. that's 2015. as you look to the left, that's the past 50 years of growth in the u.s. working age population, from 65 to 2015, and then that's history, those are actual numbers, and then to the right is our 20-year projection going forward from 2015 to 2035. and what you see going forward is from 2015 to 2035, the working age population will grow by about 10 million persons. 10 million 25 to 64 years old, but the key thing here is very simple. look to the left, look at history, and look how steep that growth in the working age population was. as opposed to that, look to the right and what we project. we are projecting much, much reduced growth going forward in working age population. to put some numbers on it, okay, the slowest decade over the last 50 years, the working age population grew by about .8% per year. a little less

it's caused an uproar among the beijing population. but the photos and videos uploaded by bloggers quickly disappear from the internet -- censored by the state. one group uses an online map to show where the evictions are taking place across beijing. they call it a map of fire protection measures as a way to avoid censorship. support groups have also sprung up, like here in west beijing. an artist group wants to turn their cellars into accommodation for the migrant workers, to give a bed and shelter to these people who give so much to the city. liu: the workers have established small convenience stores in our neighborhood, like the fruit vendor and the little shop on the corner. they make our lives more comfortable. reporter: these offers of support are being closely monitored by the government, because they're afraid that criticism could lead to protests. this small village lies in hebei, the neighboring province of beijing. migrant worker liu and his employees are staying here temporarily, but they're not really welcome. in the villa

so we know our patient population is really concentrated. in some clinics, it may be just a few people, which is why that line looks so busy. month to month, the clinic judges themselves to get an idea of how you patients are. next slide. for directing programming, i will use our getting to zero program that's care of h.i.v., and prevention for people at risk for h.i.v., very heavily focused on in our clinic sites. the main thrust is out of the research and health education departments or areas within the population health division. th this slide shows what has happened with h.i.v. it's a national model. if you look at the green line, it's dropped dramatically over the last 10 years, as have deaths and new infections. people living with h.i.v. is a good thing because it's mainly because that's where we got that. this is a slide of just women. that blue line that is above everyone else, african-american women. so that lets the team know that while they have many reasons to feel good, there is work still to be done and that's allowed them to c

you have not lasted very long in population. last time you were in population was in january. made it two weeks. before that, it was -- i think it was may of last year. and you did make it about five months. so you have a history where you've demonstrated you can make it, but you've just been in segregation a long time during this incarceration. but to your credit, you've been down here, haven't gotten into any trouble over the last few months. so we've recognized that. you've requested to go back to population. we're going to give you a shot at population. >> ooh! god is great! [ bleep ]. thank you, thank you. >> you do understand, however, that it's up to you to make the most of it. if you get into any trouble, you'll end up right back down here on a.s. the ball's in his court right now. he's got a lot of jail experience. he's got some gang history. so there are a lot of things working against him. so it's going to be on him to sort of take a step back and back away from any potential conflict. >> somebody act like they are going to beat me up, defend myself. but as long as

and still involves systematic human rights violations against the ruins of population as well as other muslim populations in rakhine state there are severe restrictions on freedom of movement even restrictions on repairing one's home and other daily activities. so. until that that fundamental until that architecture of abuse is changed it really makes very little sense and it would be it would be quite dangerous in fact for a large refugee population to go back to these areas and frankly i think me and more right now is trying to communicate to the international community that it's that it's seeking solutions and trying to do the right thing they're doing that without actually making fundamental changes on the ground and that's that's one of the biggest problems right now in rakhine state. phil what are some of the concrete steps that need to be taken in order to be able to craft a repeat deal that might have the potential to work well first and foremost talk to the rohingya i mean this was an agreement that was done between me and maher in bangladesh without the involvement of the peo

it that population, i2.5%. the young population, over25%. it was that population, i2.5%.ver 25%. it was hoped that the removal of sanctions would lead to economic prosperity, particularly with a quick rise in employment. the banking sector in iran has prevented this from happening. for decades it has been behind sanctions and outside the globalfinancial behind sanctions and outside the global financial market. for that reason it has not operated... it has not been operated transparently. the operation is opaque. that led to a lot of bad debt, especially under populist policies. as you say, the banking sector and the financial system a re not banking sector and the financial system are not getting up to speed and that has held the iranian economy back. is it realistic, anyway, for anyone to think the economy would bounce back quickly in terms of people feeling economic benefits of sanctions being lifted. the expectation has probably been too high. but because unemployment is very high and at the same time the government of the moment is implementing subsidy reforms which i

the target population is often challenged with mobility programs. will there be any kind of van service that might be able to bring people to the programs that they are developed, or some way to have getting people there and bringing them home? >> well, specifically for rosa parks and western addition, those are the housing sites that they're going to access and they don't quite have those same issues in that neighborhood. i do think for bayview, my guess would be -- and kathy is here and she can answer that -- this is something that was asked and i think at this point they don't have a bus service, sort of thinking about that. but -- maybe we do. [laughter] but i know that it becomes needed, i know that either bayview or the office on aging will probably help out in that way. and also, in bayview senior center, dr. davis, they've had a trial run at this because they have had experience in doing programming in the evening and that hasn't been a barrier as of yet, for that particular center. so -- but i think there is more information about transport

displaced population. and there's another book to written. maybe we will come back to questions but i want you to have in your mind, that there are about 20 to 25 week states around the world that do not have the political otsystems th can contain religious and ethnic and political differences. as recently in the news and for 100,000 people were driven out of the country in nine weeks. the political system did not give citizenship did not recognize him properly and they torched villages. they have got 20 or 25 -- that do not share power are not able to share power effectively. secondly a week and divided international political system. this is the international affairs part of the story and the background. the international political system is weak and more divided. in some ways weaker than world war ii. thirdly and very difficult to talk about but it is honest not to mention, albert einstein -- 25 percent of the beneficiaries are muslims. a large part of the refugee crisis is located in muslim majority co

almost the entire population of egypt lives close to the nile and drinks from it to. the river is egypt's lifeline. it's a simple line from my life and i think in the whole egyptians like. muffins are also was a river nile the use of the czars of the rest of this of the to for me i was out man was out on every mile mile i would be just of this. egypt is mainly made up of barren wasteland sand and stones. the nile provides ninety five percent of the country's water supply. fields are irrigated with water from the nile. made the rower is an egg. cultural consultant farmers share their worries with him . although. of course this would be. many fear that this is exactly what could happen when the grand ethiopian dam up river is completed egypt would not have as much water for irrigation if you think. salty water will get up and it will be effected and you will be affected for many years now if you keep growing the land you won't have any problems but we if you stop have no water for a bit of. you will have a problem and the problem will stay with us. here in the nile delt

the enslaved population was from 25 to 35% of the population. most people think about slavery they think about plantation slavery. this large slave holdings with perhaps hundreds or 200 enslaved people on the property. they think about cotton. and sugar plantations. they don't think about farm. and in fact the vast majority of slave holders in the united states throughout the era were engaged in small kale slavery. in missouri that was the case. the vast majority of individuals who owned slaves owned fewer than ten. in fact many owned just a few. and so the question is did that make a difference? did that make slavely operate in a different way than it did in other parts of the south. that's what i set out to do. to look at whether slavery was different, if according to to where it was located. or the size of slave holding. so the immigration streams to missouri were mostly from the upper south. people came from virginia, and kentucky, to a lesser extent from tennessee. and from north carolina. and there was all this wonderfully fertile land. th

socioeconomic picture, the most vulnerable populations seem to change. today, immigrants, homeless people -- there are large populations of such people in san francisco and in this area. >> that is exactly right. what i say is that we actually serve the whole stream of ages. from zero, up to 101, we have one aging adult who is literally 101 years old. she has been coming to one of are centers -- our centers for about 20 years. we celebrate her life and her and the contributions she makes to the community. she also celebrates us for giving her the companionship that she so deserves. >>> and to carry out these complex tasks, you must have a cadre of paid employees. you also have a large cohort of skilled professional volunteers with professional occupations. >> absolutely. we have over 4000 volunteers. and close to 600 employees who i call angels constantly. these are people that give so much of themselves on a daily basis. some of whom have been working for us for over 30 years. some less of course. they truly give more than what a job description normall

on our side they said they want the 690,000 daca population expanded. senator durbin made the case saying many people did not register and they should not be held harmful. we've been willing to expand that population and there's progress happening here which leads us to, chuck, why are we shutting down the government? >> i guess then the graham/durbin say they put this offer out here and chuck schumer saying, why not say, okay, seems like we have the parameters for a deal. democrats are willing. you guys are arguing over whether you'll appropriate it or not but it seems as if -- chuck schumer what he thought he had an agreement of that the president changed his mind a few hours later. i guess the question i have for you is, who is in charge of the president's position on immigration? because what -- look at lindsey graham. he calls them tuesday trump versus thursday trump. what's the difference here? >> president trump has been crystal clear on what he wants and he's to the wavered. what lindsey graham and senator durbin offered to the president was to

population of england herself. ore people than you have in some european countries. now, if you had to do it, you can certainly imagine, you could make a go of it, as your own nation. nd along with growing population comes a growing sense f what would we call it, political competence. the local elite people like ben like william le bird, we talked about him a couple of weeks ago, these are dominate the local elected assemblies, and if you assemblies are getting more and more powerful and the governors who are from overseas are having less and less authority as the years go by. you get to the middle of the 1700s, you've got pretty much local in almost every colony. o not only is population reaching the level where you can imagine an independent country you've got a governing class that thinks, by george, if they have been for the heir colony last few decades, they ought to be able to run a country. has also, of course, been growing. s population increases, as people push the indians out and occupy more land, as they the labor of more slaves, the prosperity of the grow

they're willing to take risks they're often more excited by the idea of change when you have a population that is older it's harder to get people into the streets it usually only happens if there is some process under way that already has got people thinking about change for the future but people who stay home are not usually lazy they're usually fearful and waiting to see is this really an opportunity for change am i going to make a difference or is this something i had better sit out and wait for a better opportunity to wrestle with and take a short break right now when we're back we'll continue talking to professor jack stone talking about the nature of revolutions and where the next revolution may take place stay with us. here's what people have been saying about redacted in the us is that it is full on . the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch oh yeah john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than that and see people you've never heard of love back to the night president of the world bank very. seriously sen

one of my aims is to make sure that population is receiving services. because they're taking the federal survey on food insecurity and they don't have many options in that neighborhood. >> right, and one of the great things with this program and all the other nutrition programs, and all programs for that matter, the clients that access services we do know who they are, so we're able to run reports to see who is accessing what and how many times, if they're in multiple programs. >> commissioner lang: thank you, tiffany, i appreciate it. >> president serina: to follow up, i think it is very important we track this, because some of the existing clients may meet the criteria just because they're existing clients should not mean they're not eligible. but there is a substantial amount of people that have not been served, so we would be broadening, especially because it's funded through the dignity fund. it's a supplementary program and a new program, so i think it's a good point that commissioner lang raised. >> commissioner loo: to follow up on that, since t

>> erwin denies ever dealing drugs in general population.dmits to having used drugs smuggled in by other inmates. she also says she knows how to get them into jail. >> like with drugs, stuff like that tobacco, you tuck it. since i'm already in ad-seg -- >> what's tucking it? explain to me. >> tucking it -- i'm going to blush. females wrap everything up and put it in their vaginal canal and bring it in. >> erwin has prior convictions for vehicle theft, drug possession, making terroristic threats, receiving stolen property and residential burglary. this time she's serving nine months for possession of stolen property, drug paraphernalia and vehicle theft. >> i like to spend a lot of money. i like brand new everything. i have an expensive habit and expensive lifestyle. so it's unrealistic for me to find a job. just throw me the amount of money that i want. >> doing time in jail has not served as a deterrent. >> i love you. >> love you too! >> i love my life. i mean, it's probably not the best thing i could have chose to do. i'm happy with what

the government of a country that is mostly made up of young population how do they make sure that it doesn't necessarily turn into evolution if they aren't going to well well if things are not going to well it's difficult to avoid anger so it's necessary to start to give people an opportunity to see real change so giving younger people opportunities to join leadership organising. investing in. not just education but actually jobs that allow people to use their education so starting new projects building new research centers or communities encouraging foreign investments all of these things can help younger people who are ambitious feel you know this government is giving me a reason to have a stake in the future it's not giving me a reason to give up hope and then there's the money factor of course that alan talk about because apart from my deeper ideological causes when people go out and protest they're really just comes down to money and they need hot drinks blankets weapons so this is really also about who funds to revolution the success of our illusions and by who funds it i don't

institute is situated and should our bills and another institute which studies their health of population offers also is situated in the results from this more when they began to make their scientifical start it off course if we headed down draws if they didn't they have never organized it because your own father died of cancer but even on his death difficult they didn't use that word did they know in the soviet time all information about the accident her secret even people who were working in the plant in this moment like liquidators they signed special paper to keep it secret so why then do you think so many people through the decades have decided to stay in school keeps the bag given that they must know the health risks of being in that area you know the people of close that city it is a special civilization maybe we can tell sol because the clause that city they were built in the empty place. in the forest and the people who built it they specially brought for create this city create this production and they keep secret keep ideology and grow all the new generation to continue their j

population. while the rest. so fond commitments to environmental protection there all the best with that and then we move on to the wild boating sailboats might make you think of open oceans and nato but in fact they are real environmentalists. that made of lousy of glass fiber which is rain forest plastic that's uses lots of oil and energy to manufacture a ship build that environment germany has found a way to make more environmentally friendly boats empty knows more. yes he claims that his boat made of ninety percent renewable materials like hemp uncork i'm a bit skeptical that these boats are as durable and safe as the conventional ones but let's go take a look at these boats. the materials being cut here in the green boats workshop come mostly from nature things like cork and paper. the boat's protective coating gets the finishing soak in a resin linseed oil mixture although some mineral oil is still indispensable for now. soon as it's hardened it's environmentally friendly you could even eat off it but befo

in cities twenty five to thirty years from now and then the world in terms of its population will be six hundred the cities that account for eighty percent of the world population and that's just you know migration yes i understand your idea and i understand how it can work the total urbanization somewhere like in europe because there are things close by it's well connected in terms of transport but is it a one in thirty or forty years is it possible in a vast place like russia. you know russia do have some similarities in terms of for example canada australia and actually to certain extent the nordic countries because you might know that both finland sweden and norway have very small population in turn in relation to the size of the countries and these three scandinavian countries are some of the most urbanized in the world so it might well work the other way around if you see what i mean. so let's imagine all that you're saying is going to happen one way or another so fifty years from now who will have the briefcase with the nuclear codes they san francisco mayor or the mayor of bo

working he age population, from 65 to 2015, that's history. those are actual numbers, and 20-yearthe right is our projection going forward from 2015 to 2035. you see going forward to 2035, the 2015 will growe population by about 10 million, 25 to the key thing ut here is very simple. look to the left. and look how y, steep that growth in the working age population was. as opposed to that, look to the right and what we project. much, much ting reduced growth going forward in the working age population. put some numbers on it, the decade over the last 50 ears, the working age population grew by about .8% per year. than 1% per year. that was the slowest decade of years.t 50 going forward, the next 20 years, we project that the will onlye population grow by about .3% per year. so about a third less. now, we can discuss this in the q&a period. an economist. economists, what they think is, of way the u.s. standard living goes up is two ways. get per ity, what you worker, and how many workers got -- to grow the labor force. headwind. when the current

less than a third of the rural population has access to it. and n.g.o.s and the women of video have come up with a solution. solar energy kids. almost one hundred people in the region have already bought solar lamps. and those who can't afford them can get micro credit or pay in installments. some villages got together to buy a fridge. and now make a living selling cold drinks. others bought solar energy kits so the children can do their homework in the evening. new sources of income better education thanks to green energy. do you like that. if you are also doing your bit tell us about it. visit our website or send us a tweet. hash tag doing your bit we share your story. many areas in africa are drying out in the style region deserts and courting at an alarming rate on the communities nigeria is one of the nation's most at risk we'll never know if it's not on state of the front line of the certification experts say the sahara is moving southward i don't allow i mean wait where in the village of gandhi in the far north of nigeria it's not far f

a populous backlash. natiiv nativism, populism, deep roots.n my book, i tell the story of a trump of the late 19th century. he campaigned with a slogan the chinese must go. opposing chinese immigration into california. you had to take him both literally and seriously because that then got enacted with the 1882 exclusion act. throughout the last couple of years i've argued we shouldn't think of donald trump as a fascist or some kind of tyrant in the mold of vladimir putin, much less stalin. we should think of him as an american populist. the thing about immigration is a sudden increase of the sort we've seen not only in the united states but in other countries as a consequence of large scale migration nearly always produces this kind of backlash. yet the democrats margaret have lost their ability to compromise just as much as the right. >> they have, although the place we are now is about a very non controversial element, the deferred -- daca agreement. this is something that actually republicans and democrats widely debr agree upon. >> the par

but population, for instance. you start out with a few hundred people in a couple of spots on the coast. by the 1790's, you're looking at 250,000 people maybe. about double the population of lebanon county stretched out over 1500 miles of coast. by 1776, a couple of million people. a fourth of the population of england herself. more people than you have in some european countries. now, if you had to do it, you can certainly imagine you could make a go of it as your own nation. and along with growing population comes a growing sense of -- what would we call it? -- political competence. the local elite people like ben franklin, people like william bird, we talked about him a couple of weeks ago, these are the folks who dominate the local elected assemblies, and if you remember, the assemblies are getting more and more powerful and the governors who are appointed from overseas are having less and less authority as the years go by. by the time you get to the middle of the 1700s, you have got pretty much local self-gov
