and ritchie from scotland is no exception she has a take on life that is fairly uncustomary. the world does not always a good points but it's much much better than it was in the past and i think it's really important that we have knowledge of us and understand this to make sure progress continues. post-doctoral research on global development is a champion of presenting the world as it is including the good sides she and her colleagues at the universities martin school research unit compiled figures and graphics for a database that emphasizes positive trends it's featured on their website oh world in data. the life expectancy for example has risen significantly across the world. from a global average of 46 in 1950 to over 70 now. and the proportion of children dying before the age of 5 has steadily declined in many countries child mortality is no close to 0. the researchers also have encouraging news on the global poverty front over the last 30 years the number of people below the absolute poverty level those with an income of less than $1.90 per day has fallen by 2 thirds the

number of permutations but if anyone can help us understand that my guess the big computer or steve ritchie was to double the of political commentary welcome to. peter if only knows the inner workings of the conservative party you do so what is going on with boris johnson the snow is he actually wanting a deal or is he just appealing are an election plot for mr johnson i can assure you really wants a deal it's a very intelligent man he's been a brussels correspondent 30 years ago he understands how europe works and i know that because i've talked to quite a lot over many years he knows no deal is going is the work road to do a road to industrial devastation in this country he knows the language of europe as well he can talk to donald tusk we saw that over the weekend he can talk to the diplomats the politicians he got on well even with macron of course he wants a deal what he has also to handle of course is his rhetoric the other audience which he has to deal which is the conservative party very very fanatical people who want no deal and that won't have anything to do with europe and in ord

matt ritchie could be out for a couple of months due to an ankle ligament injury.y bronze has been giving us her reaction to being named uefa's women's player of the year. she said she was ecstatic and humbled to receive the honour, which came after an outstanding season for her country and club, lyon. she's the first english player to win the award, but she was on international duty last night and couldn't collect it in person. she spoke to us via skype this morning and told us her mum had ideas about taking her place in monaco. i texted her and told her about it and she said, i will go there and i will pick the award up for you, i will sit next door to ronaldo so i can chat to ronaldo. i said, mum, i've already got the award. she said, i'll go anyway. i am not that great of a talker in front of strangers, so it is probably better that i was on the field. second practice is due to get under way this hour in belgium for the first grand prix after the summer break. ferrari's sebastian vettel set the fastest time in first practice. but it's been a tough morning for l

steve ritchie is he's very knowledgeable. he didn't take into account europe i mean europe might just say i'm actually we're fed up with you and they were in except they would give us an extension that we needed to do that mr macro might just say well look actually this is going on long enough and off you go i think that's quite a real possibility and the other one is and i think it's the most likely outcome. despite everything is that mr johnson is a very intelligent man he understands europe quite well he's going he wants a deal and so my prediction is we're going to get a version of mrs may's deal for mr jobs and he did so much to destroy a huge number apparently some possible outcomes over the next few months one thing's for sure there's going to be playing to re-impose and plenty to the commentator on both thank you so much peter roebuck and steve richard for your insights thank you the only political sefton to know is uncertainty and the only absolute is confusion as we have heard from a top commentators this don't feel

as soon as the fundamental takes up the sound guy ritchie i'm going to date and i've been doing. this maybe legion ok and this whole debacle but yeah well let's let's put that to death for a time do you want to try to come back on that. yeah the fact remains i think this is not personally against a fight ok i'm talking about certain people and sections of a polish busy political parties who are opposing this bill now look at how they had been in the upper house of indian parliament they all privately want this bill to be passed but publicly oppose it in the parliament they abstain from voting and some of them walked out which brought down the mark of majority below a certain level and therefore this bill was very easily passed so they have to face is bundled public and one in private in private when it happens among in that one family they start supporting this this bill but otherwise in public they start opposing i think everybody should be clear about the fundamental right of right to life or dignity to of women which isn't shined in our constitution it has nothing to do with r

in the us, congressmen ritchie neil, chairman of the house ways and means committee, and speaker nancyg obligations under the good friday agreement. what i want to put into the situation is relations are good. now is extremely testing times, and i'll be quite clear, the rhetoric is disappointing and misleading from certain elements of the back benches and indeed certain elements of the media. many people who happily want to paint ireland, and indeed our taoiseach leo varadkar, as the people to blame for this scenario, but ultimately underneath that i fundamentally do believe the relations in a post—brexit era, depending on how we do brexit, can return to quite good levels of warmth. really? even though... nothing will be as good as what we have now. let's be clear, but if you look at the good friday agreement itself, stephen, and this is quite clear, that allows for ireland, unlike any other eu remaining 27, to have a far deeper relationship, be it through the intergovernmental conference, be it through the british irish trade ministers council, and so many other tools. that could be a

incidents targeting law enforcement officers, democratic policy and medications committee michelle ritchie, thank you for joining us. i want to read something from the birmingham real-time news, local police chief, they are under attack because many laws have no real consequences specifically when it comes to violent offenders. this has been a deadly combination but they do their jobs and we don't think about it because they are protecting the rest of us but many have targets on their backs these days. >> philadelphia is a reminder how dangerous although a felony drug warrant is never quite routine but these are the risks men and women in uniform take on a daily basis and there have been a series of narratives that much of the news media has seized on in recent years and up to now that are anti-law enforcement and in the past week you have elizabeth warren and kamala harris, two people vying for democratic presidential nomination say that michael brown, it was found to be not true but that rhetoric has consequences. what ocasio cortez refers to concentration camps that means the ice office
