who may know a little something about our denomination, we started in 1787 through our founder richard allen, who left then st. george's methodist episcopal church because they were telling him he needed to pray after the regular members prayed. that is how our denomination began. a set of civil disobedience in a little issue with theological ceremony, if you will. nermeen: he went on to talk more about the history of the church. >> again, let me welcome you to mother emanuel. just a little story about our church and how it really ties into the life of african-americans in south carolina, and also little bit of the nation. i mentioned to you earlier that the founder of our church's name was morris brown, who later became the second leader of our denomination, founded this church in what was actually a three-part circuit in the african-american community outside of the city of charleston. the street right in front of the church is called calvin street. the several hundred years ago it wasn't calvin street, it was called boundary street, which meant that is where the city boundaries were. and

it was founded in the late 1700s by bishop richard allen, who was born into slavery but once free eventually preached in pennsylvania, new jersey and delaware among other places in the northeast united states. this message and the church grew from there. nbc 10's deanna durante is live at that original church, mother bethel a.m.e. in society hill. >> you have been there all day. what are parishioners saying about this? >> reporter: many people want to offer their condolences, pray and the pastor says he is focusing on helping those get through this time and process their grief. for him, his grief has to wait. >> i never said i wasn't angry. >> reporter: but this is not the time for anger, according to mark tyler, the pastor of mother bethel a.m.e. church. a personal friend of senate senator clemente pinkney, who was shot and killed along with eight other church members by a lone gunman as bible services were going on inside the charleston church. >> i'm just like anyone else who lost a friend. they talk about the stages of grief. i'm sure some of that anger will probably come out in another

since the very beginning, i would dare say that the first civil rights movement was when richard allenrch in philadelphia and determined we were going to worship with dignity and integrity under our own vine and fig tree after being rejected being pulled from your knees in the middle of your prayer at st. george's. it has continued time and time again. we know that on june 17th -- actually, at midnight on june 16th denmark had planned a revolt in the city of charleston. and it would be happening on june 17th. and then after that mother emanuel was burned. so here we have a domestic terrorist walk into the church when, on june 17th. you have to suspect that he knew his history. but even though the church was burned and by 1834 all black churches were outlawed in charleston south carolina people still worshipped. that is our resilience. and so we have been on the front line of freedom and liberation for more than 200 years. the foot soldiers for the civil rights movement came from the black church. our leadership the first person to serve in u.s. congress after the civil war was an ame p

in response black men and women led by richard allen and epsilon jones founded their own home in the a.m.e. church, which considers itself the oldest christian denomination church founded by black people in the world. it is the liflg, breathing embodiment of the black church. not as i was reminded i by one of my campus chaplains this week, the church of the black people but the black church the institutional structure committed to a god of liberation, a definitive space for the worship of human freedom and equality and welcome to all children of creation. and charleston's emanuel a.m.e. is the oldest in the south. to walk into the womb of mother emmanuel, to worship for an hour with her people to take their lives in calculating cold blood -- is to strike at the very heart of the black american struggle for freedom. to strike mother emanuel is to strike the tap root of resistance and the birthplace of the sacred atonmy. it is an attack against the place where enslaved black people rejected the biblical mandate to obey your masters and instead embraced a savior who suffered as they did

because it was craig allen richards who raised this issue with me which got me interested in the whole area in the first place. we have made some big breakthroughs that national health service does do much more in terms of screening and in tems of action to help those potentially having the affection of group b strep. and there are difficulties in terms of national programs because of the whole issue of anti-microbial resistance and the use of antibiotics. but i'm happy to take this opportunity and look at what's been achieved so far. what can be done and to answer the honorable gentleman. >> jerry mercer. >> in my constituency where the rate is far lower than the national average and helping them stand on their own two feet is the most effective policy tackling measure there is. can the prime minister explain how the consensus will reward hard work and benefit those working earning the minimum wage ? >> can i welcome him my honorable friend and praise him for his speech who haw moved all who heard it or subsquentl read it. -- subsequently read it. our plans to raise it to $12,500 poun

allen fisher al jazeera, arlington national cemetery in virginia. >>> we will turn to the weather with richardains are causing problem in east asia, what is going on there? >> it stretches for thousands of kilometers all the way from vietnam down in the southwest up towards shanghai and on towards japan in the northeast. doesn't look that active on there but this is somewhat misleading this is typical rainfall coming from northern vietnam, 100 millimeters in 24 hours but across china we see active weather and the province we had more than 200 millimeters in 24 hours and many people have had to be evacuated from their homes. obviously some of the water falls are looking spectacular at the moment but it's what happens downstream and you can see the water rushing through and it's this destruction of infrastructure is the biggest problem, no major reports of fatalities at the moment across this region. meanwhile in eastern china we have also had similar sort of rainfall totals reported and many people evacuated from their homes but nevertheless the situation looks messy and a lot of landslides acr
