and 41 year—old pc dave fields 61—year—old lorraine stephenson and 41—year—old pc dave fields have beensheffield on christmas day. the officer's family said they were devastated and heartbroken by their loss. the former us president, barack obama, in one of his few interviews since leaving office last january, has warned about the irresponsible use of social media. he said social media was, in some cases, distorting people's understanding of complex issues, spreading misinformation, and reinforcing people's bias. mr obama was interviewed by prince harry, in his capacity as guest editor of radio 4's today programme, as our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. prince harry, first of all. you are very welcome to our studio. good morning. joining the today programme for the day had been a big learning curve, harry said, but he had enjoyed being the interviewer rather than the interviewed. it was quite fun, especially interviewing president obama. his principal scoop had been to persuade barack obama to give his first interview since standing down as us president. the word "trump"

we have just completed a complete and thorough research on adelaide stephenson, and i intend to give that picture on a nationwide network. after i give that picture of themenson, the history of since the time he entered the agricultural department, and after i give that history, if the american people want him, they can happen, but i don't think they will want him. >> i gather from what you say that it is fair to confer that you do not avoid personalities. senator mccarthy: i will never avoid giving the facts to the american people. it is so easy to talk about communism generally, to talk about the sellout in china and korea generally. unless you call the rule of the traders and those responsible for the suicidal foreign policy -- it is a waste of the speaker's time and the audiences time. i do not intend to get up and talk about treason and sellouts. treason is created by men with faces and names. those of us who are elected by the american people and command the watchtowers must possess the intelligence. if i may use a word we use in wisconsin, unless we have the guts to name them,

stephenson. you have a fun job. you show your excitement. >> i have to pitch myself every morning to remind me that i am a the luckiest man in the world. >> let me ask you about something that david mccullough i now he was at the ceremony in april when you opened the e museum. he said roughly a third of the colonists were in favor of the american revolution, a third hi were content to say a part of the british empire and another third were waiting to see what happened.e is that a fair assessment? >> it's tough to go up against a fellow like david mccullough. that is a quote from john adams that is often taken out of o context. the original letter is actuallyo referring to the opinions of t americans towards the french revolution. you know, a little bit post war. but it actually is -- i think speak to a larger truth that we try to present in the museum of the american revolution here, is that this wasn't just a i unanimous decision of all of the people in british colony to h rebel and all have the same idea about the

lorraine stephenson and pc dave fields were both killed after the cars they were travelling in collidedemains in a serious condition. the family of pc fields described him as a "loving husband and dad" and a "dedicated officer". the family of the briton laura plummer — who has beenjailed in egypt after prohibited painkillers were discovered in her luggage — says she has been transferred to another prison. earlier i spoke to our correspondent matthew thompson, who gave us an update on the latest. well what we do know from speaking to the family and her lawyer is that she has been moved to an infamous prison in upper egypt. it is notorious both for its inmates, human rights groups say it contains a number of so—called islamic state fighters but most significantly for the squalor in which it is supposed to exist. the lawyer has said they're trying to get laura moved to another more sanitary prison closer to cairo but it is not certain if that will be possible. that will add to the worries the family have about her mental condition in terms of withstanding the stress of her ordeal. absolute

she had been a factor of atlas stephenson, but -- adlai stevenson, but the democratic convention had nominated john kennedy. she really wasn't especially fond of john kennedy. she felt he was a little bit too young to president, and she was worried about his commitment to civil rights legislation. but he needed her support, he felt, in order to win what he knew would be a very close election. she was a very powerful woman in the democratic party at a time when women didn't have a lot of power in politics, but eleanor roosevelt did. she was well respected, and he knew that without her support, he might not win that election. so he came literally here, wanting to get her support, asking her for support. so they had a very intense meeting together here. she wanted him to promise that he would support civil rights legislation if he became president. that was a clause very close to her heart. she made him promise that, and when he finally agreed to do that, she did agree to support him. >> john f. kennedy came to visit me at hyde park. we talked together, and i learned that he was truly i

scott stephenson. >> very interesting comment. i know easton very well. being a trout fisherman, the poconos are a destination of mine. we do tell a very similar story of the declaration being read and disseminated throughout the communities up and down the eastern sea board. we don't have so copy you see at national archives. that was pretty much only something the member of congress saw. they encountered the declaration through broadside printing or public readings. that's the story we tell in our gallery seven. we rotate every couple of months different printings of the declaration. right now what's on display is only one of two surviving copies of the declaration published in july of 1776 in philadelphia in german. there's one that's in the heschen state archives in germany. the other is owned by gettiesburg college here in pennsylvania. they loaned it to us. they're light sensitive and have to be rotated and rested from time to time. but that actually is a great opportunity for us. seeing over time newspaper printings not just from philadelphia, but

people who died following a crash in sheffield on christmas day as pc dave fields and lorraine stephenson bbc news, it's time for a programme to mark the 20th anniversary of bbc hardtalk. some very significant people have lined up, condemning what you have done, or questioning it. i'm not sure... the european commissioner, peter mandelson, has questioned the wisdom of publishing the cartoons, he says, "publishing them again and again pours petrol on the flames." you talk about frustration with governments, now, but your whole career, basically, sounds as if it's been banging your head against a brick wall. great to see you, how are you? how do you feel, as president, that you are going to go down in history as a president who presided over a loss of a large part of your territory? oh, gosh, yes. we understood that you wished to do this interview, and you wished to reply to questions that we, in the name of the bbc, are putting towards you, am i not right? cheers! yeah! to the next 20 years! how come you all have water, and i have got wine? that's terrible! so go on, you've got to take us

pragmatism a cast of mine whose roots extend as emerson run through dewey and james in the way of stephenson and what they have in common is a distrust of the settled belief truth for them is what happens to an idea and the dialectic driver in the process. certainly, the new education of the book falls within that rubric. it's a book that just resizes the current state of higher education. the landscape is the emerging plate of innovation and imagines a future ground di it in but if. but the descriptive resolution of the word for the rise of the novel and the field study in the way that only a small handful of books 36 years as an account of her experience and teaching in japan changed the way that we imagined the cross-cultural encounters and mysteries and opportunities for self invention. closing the life and death of an american factory taught us to see the tragedy and the comments, both of the future thinking and now you see it in their very different ways change the way we think about how we lived, worked and learned in the digital age. in short, and essential and indispensable mind, sq

at&t's ceo, randall stephenson, praised the bill in a statement, congratulating both congress and the president. as you know, at&t is currently being sued by this administration to block its takeover of time warner, the parent company of cnn. corporate america will benefit from tax cuts, along with other policies of the pro-business trump administration, policies like cutting regulations. when announcing its bonus, comcast mentioned both the tax cut and the fcc's repeal of net neutrality. also boosting military spending is a platform of this administration. boeing plans to invest $300 million on worker training and upgrading facilities. >> all right, let's bring in our cnn politics reporter live in d.c. good to see you, tal. >> good morning. >> whether you like this tax bill or not, and polling shows most do not, democrats don't have much of an economic message, while republicans can take this to the voters and say look, the economy is expanding. the companies christine just mentioned, several big banks, boeing, at&t, just to name a few, are already giving some of this money back to t

[applause] sadly, across the world the notion is sold that that maybe we don't need research concerning down syndrome. they say that prenatal screens will identify down syndrome in the womb and those pregnancies should be terminated. it is hard for me to sit here to say those words. i completely understand for people that push this final solution say that people like me should not exist from the outdated idea of life with down syndrome. i have a great life and have lectured at universities. with the award-winning film and tv show. and spoken to thousands of young people about the value of inclusion of making america great. i have been to the w

so about 12 or 13 authors altogether, individuals who are just very proud to include like brian stephenson, sherilyn , i could goin our on and on. we worked very hard to make this book accessible to everyone who wants to pick up and learn about this issue and learn about ways that they can make a difference by working to reform the criminal justice system. host: did you learn anything by compiling this book? guest: i learned a lot. i was really fortunate that somebody of these great authors and activists that i asked to join me joined me and i learned so much from all the. m. i thought i' you a lot about the kernel justice system. host: orange, new jersey, that is where sterling is. go ahead. caller: good morning and happy new year's. thank you for taking my call. the reality is that the justice system can't be reformed without understanding that america was built on controlling black man and profiting from black men. the justice system serves as a jobs program for the white community. moved the portion of the white population into policing and monitoring the black population and it has gr

i think you mentioned was it david stephenson who flew down from the sky with the plane with his name on the sky that he had the imperial wizard who says i've got the biggest brain. [laughter] so, how do you approach the subject of how this 1920s history, much as we understand the 1950s and 60s history of national review and barry goldwater and ronald reagan obviously forming newt gingrich and paul ryan, how do you see this history informing our contemporary movements? >> i think to answer that i want to start by sort of disaggregating something because there was a marked difference between that klan and catholicism and its anti-semitism. catholics could converts. if they did that they were fine. jews, no. in fact, when you look closely at it, what you see is that anti-semitism for them was closer to racism against people of color and it was to the anti- catholicism. now, it's also true that the anti- catholicism disappeared and disappeared quickly because for example, many clans people in the 1930s, some of you have probably heard of this radio personality called father coughlin was

mtd ment is coming >> you think this will face issues with regulators >> we don't know randall stephensonthe ceo of at&t said he thought there would be so much uncertainty off of that that these talks would be put on hold. i agree with that. the issue with doj is that we don't know what their playbook is so i'm kind of surprised that disney would take such a major move which can disrupt their own operations and fox's operations while there's so much uncertainty out there. >> i wasn't surprised to see that there wasn't more done with comcast, because they've been kind of the foil in all of that. i guess i'm not surprised to see this happen if the timing works for rupert murdoch and if is something ig wore like er woulde accomplished >> that makes total sense to me. i look at what happened with at&t and how surprised they seemed to be with what happened with the doj one argument doj was making is one about distribution, particularly over the top distribution i understand at&t's distribution with the pipes and directv is more than what disney has and potentially hulu that's a big transaction

he's essentially reporting to randa randall stephenson, which is a big role if you remove one key partle advertising theme which i think is bigger than people realize or appreciate. >> now, i own this stock, this is a full weighting for me, a 5% weighting, i'm a big believer in randall stephenson and his executive team, i like what they've done what am i missing? this is a vertical integration it scares me that the government would bring a complaint. what do they have that i don't know about this is what the whole world is wondering. why would they bring this? what do they know that i don't know and what do you think and what is the probability coming out of this thing with cnn -- because i buy into your advertising issue -- but what am i missing? >> you know, something clearly changed because -- and it seemed to change right around early november i don't know what changed. there's all sorts of conspiracy theories there, i'm not going to bring in politics but something changed. but at the base of this you are not removing a competitor so, again, the law is still the law as it was prior

. >> in fairness to randall stephenson, the ceo of at&t, i was with him before they blocked the dealwas talking about investing. >> you can see them writing the tweets for the president. they're showing right away that, look, this is for, you know -- the tax cut is on one day. >> they're under no obligation to do that. >> no, no, no. they're not. >> what's the likelihood that once you get past the initial p.r. phase that there will be a pattern of -- >> there's a lot of skepticism. it's not just bonuses. some of them are raising the minimum wage. >> wells fargo. >> will use it to reinvest by buying back their stocks. we're sort of in an era of engineering. >> so the speaker of the house paul ryan talked about inversions, that companies are taking their money bringing it back here. >> there's repatriation, that they off cash to bring the money back to the u.s. nowing it's also switching to a territorial system of global taxation, which means it's not likely that that's going to be as huge as i think, you know, everyone is saying it will be. we did a tax holiday in 2004 and it didn't r

of roosevelt itself the child to take those lessons and to apply them in the specific context to stephenson and to kennedy. he believed, to use a churchillian phrase, the the president is the person who sets the weather, the person who sets the tone for policy but also one of the lessons he learned from roosevelt is that it's not enough simply to be the weather maker, that roosevelt takes his experience from the first world war when his assistant secretary for the navy and he understands that you, the president has to dig right out into his administration, has two final decisions through, has to not just talk somebody from state department, state department issue, he might have to bring agriculture in and ask him about some matter that you are constantly driving your agenda by making sure that at every level of government it's something that's being understood. >> this book is also about people as well as ideas. and one of those people of course is arthur. why don't you share, the book has a number of examples. arthur's struggles. we think of them, those who knew him and those of read about

also struck listening to iger, if you close your eyes and act like you're listening to randall stephenson for word what at&t/time warner said, yet they're getting blocked with the big antitrust case of course, time warner owns cnn, a punching bag of the president, and many people thought this whole case was some attempt to punish them. everybody said no, no, it's not. now we have the opposite situation where if not the best friend of the president, a very good friend of the president, is there, and is the antitrust division going to doilities job? are we in a world of crony capitalism where your deal gets approved if you're a friend of the president, and if you're not, it doesn't? >> how does the structure of the deal play into it? because the news assets aren't included in what disney would buy, unlike the at&t deal. >> no, they're not >> does it headache make it bet worse? >> it doesn't matter because fox news is the best media friend the president has. that remains under the control of the murdoch family and rupert murdoch. if the president wants to reward news channels that favor him,
