and the last time i was there idid times and the last time i was there i dide i was there i did meet some journalists who were working on some student scheme with the guardian and were reporting from turkey and that was quite soon before the coup and i sometimes wonder where they are, how they are because erdogan rounded up hundreds of thousands of. academics were sacked, civil servants were sacked. huge impact he had, a brutal impact on this society. what can we do? we observe it and we regret it. what next? i don't know where we go with that. be mentioned in the last review, that slide in life expectancy, the slowing of the rates at which life expectancy is growing. people are not being as quickly or as frequently at a younger age. like expectancy rate is slowing down. so people are still living longer, but the rate of progress is not as good as as it was. perhaps they are eating too much salt. the insurance companies are making a lot of money. who gets the benefits of all of these economic changes? let's look ata these economic changes? let's look at a stor

she tweeted "f" the police multiple times. the president re-tweeted the drudge report which calls her out. one time she said "f" the police she included a clip of an animated film she was walking in which dog raccoons with magical testicles, i kid you not, have a standoff with cops. i might question her taste in film, but does that mitigate the comment on police? no outlet is in a better police to tell us that than the times. hopefully they'll be more forthcoming. what do we know any sarah jeong? on paper she sounds impressive, a senior writer at the verge and wrote the book "the internet of garbage" and the online harassment and the difficulty f of -- and she was a fellow, and named to forbes 30 under 30 list for media in 2017, but as soon as she was hired old tweets by jeong were re-posted anonymously on twitter which sound completely racist. dumb ass "f" white people marking the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants. oh, man, kind of sick how much joy i get out of being cruel to old white men. you'l

let's turn to the times because the times are also covering this story, page two of the times. s nigeljust said, this is a throw ahead to the prime minister's speech tomorrow, so the papers have been given this on embargo so they can print it in the morning's papers. i think it's a really good idea. there's always been difficulty with the general public, you know, particularly during times of austerity, although i think britain is a very charitable country and you can see it in responses to a humanitarian disaster is time and time again. but when people see millions and millions and millions of powers disappearing and not much coming back for it, i think this is quite a good way to focus —— pounds. i think it also changes the balance. it's not about us saying you poor people, we can give you this... it's your david cameron idea, the way he presented foreign aid. it was and it wasn't. this is a more mature grown—up approach to it, trade, not aid. it's about recognising that africa is a properly developing countries in the true sense of it, developing as a might of its own economi

at the time of roe vs. wade, there were four states that gave women access to abortion without any questions asked in the first trimester. those states are not going to change. what it means is a woman who can afford a plane ticket, a bus ticket, will be able to decide for herself. whether or not to have an abortion. but the women who won't have that choice are poor women. justice scalia: these are political questions for the american people to decide. that is what democracy is about. do you think abortion should not be prohibited? fine. persuade your fellow citizens to pass a law. you think the opposite? persuade them the other way. but don't tell me the constitution has taken that issue out of democratic choice. it simply hasn't. host: there we have two members of the current court, and also united states senators, laying out the continued divisive arguments. we have only three minutes left. i want to get on the record the effect on the court itself. this became something of a litmus test. can you talk abo

they didn't think much of it at the time. he'd been a smoker in the civil war and maybe it was just smokers throaasmoker's throat ho he continued working on his writing career until the fall of 84 when he finally went to the dr. when they moved back to new york city. he ended up going to his regular doctor who knew there was a serious problem as soon as they looked at his throat and they sent him to a throat specialist, doctor john douglas. he went to doctor douglas's office and he took a look at his throat and grant look at his face and said his cancer and unfortunately the doctor had to tell him essentially it was cancer. grant worked on his memoir throughout the winter of 84, 85 and towards the spring of 85 it was touch and go. he had a couple of near-death experiences and his doctors believe the only way he would survive long enough to finish this book is to get him out ofty and hot to a mountaintop environment. they were looking for opportunities and a friend of the family approached the doctors and family to offer the us

now let's give this a little context this won't be the first time that the u.s. military has engaged in this kind of research. and. now at the time these grotesque experiments using american g.i.'s and civilians essentially as lab rats at the time they were taking place the public knew nothing about it it was all classified now the public documents indicate that these new experiments will not involve human beings only human simulators however anyone who is familiar with the not so well publicized very well documented history of u.s. military research they'll certainly raise an eyebrow. r.t. new york so the graffiti in barcelona is edging tourists to jump from their hotel balconies into a swimming polls but we understand most of those who do this found have been drinking in the first place but details on that offer the. when lawmakers manufactured him sentenced him to public wealth. when the room in closest to protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent. to ignore middle of the room signals. going to the real news is. crazy con

he was chairman at the time. people with come to me more if they had an issue they wanted to bring up. if they were not sure if it was appropriate, or they wanted to talk through something. the conference is when you would get to gather to air your ideas and frustrations. a lot of times, you were the first line of, is this the appropriate place for this? i would do a lot of that. >> did you enjoy this? rep. molinari: of course. how closely did you work with boehner? rep. molinari: closely. >> were you involved with the implementation of the contract with america? rep. molinari: no, no. i was there as one of the people they talked to. the point of the contract was one of the things that would unify the republican party as opposed to divide it. when a group came together to have this concept, i was somebody who would sit down with. they talked to a lot of members at the time. to make sure the way they were talking about the issues and how was moving out that we did not have any issues or were missing anything. they

introduced for the first time in the great war.hat was at the second battle when they released the cloud of chlorine. when the chlorine gas reached its mark it created such a devastation that the germans were unable to take advantage of the opportunities that it gave him. yet a year later that sort of conflict was going to wind up eating commonplace for soldiers at that time. one piece we tend to take for in regards to some of the gear the soldiers would be wearing is the helmet. went out oftself favor with the introduction of black powder, making armor obsolete. the great war was a first for many things, not least of which was going to be aircraft. and aircraft was causing issues. for the first time in a long time they began to feel a whole bunch of head injuries. the helmet became reintroduced. soldier placed a steel .all onto his hat there was a show that went off nearby and shrapnel hit him in the head. he comes to and they tell him that the only thing that saved his life was that steel mesh ball. an officer heard this and got

i was about four months pregnant at the time. they sent a doctor on the plane with me. still, i went over there. interesting time because i would be interviewed and it was clear i was pregnant. i would get mail from people saying how could you go to this area while you are pregnant? happy i got to go face to face with him as a female and i was not going to take any of his craft. where has the world gone wrong for me? [laughter] intoe end, we were moving sarajevo to meet with president presidenthich -- the at the time. all these people were standing outside applauding us, saying send peacekeepers, they wanted the united states to come in and help with the situation. as we were walking in there was a woman who grabbed my hand and what you need to, we cannot continue like this. you need to help us, america needs to help us. i said that is what we are here for, we will take as much as we can and bring it back. she grabbed my hand, touched my belly and said i just lost my only son. you are going to be a mother, you are you -- you have to help me. i got some criticism for goin

the enthusiasm. >> time is up. you say, challenge the patriarchy, given gender rilayings in this country and around the world. isn't that a good thing to revise the patriarchy as you put it? >> my oldest daughter is a west point granddaughter that served with the 101st airborne, sitting in her uniform on the thrown the saddam hussein. my daughters are living proof that i am a huge believer in that. the time's up movement, some of the things, sexual haermt, in the media company, not vetted with the executives is something that needs to be done. i am not 100% with the times up movement. i can see it is a powerful force, i was the one who said, oprah winfree will coy will wilt of that. >> are you saying it say good thing? >> it is constructive to review things like this. radical movement is not a positive thing. it is good to question your assumptions, particularly, what we found out in some companies that things went on, i think it is quite positive. >> the way you talk about your daughter, and gender relations is ver

it links in a bit with the story on the front of the times. it is about amazon being given a bit of a clobbering. what the i says is something they might do, not save the high street that mitigate the crisis. he is talking about temporary tax measures against multinational companies like amazon. that may mean they would have to charge us more for the products. what the times is reporting tomorrow isa what the times is reporting tomorrow is a different story about amazon, which is the next week the advertising standards authority will tell amazon they can no longer say they are amazon prime in the adverts that promises next day delivery to customers. who knows how many amazon prime subscriptions have been sold solely off the back of that promise, at least indirectly or as part of the picture behind it? it speaks to the picture behind it? it speaks to the nagging doubts, i think, the picture behind it? it speaks to the nagging doubts, ithink, in the picture behind it? it speaks to the nagging doubts, i think, in the backs of quite a lot of consum

i mean, i did that all the time. all the time, all the time. and that's what -- you know, one of the first lady that was very, very tough, if i would say on thing, she was great. i loved to work for her, because she knew what she wanted, that's nancy reagan. trust me you better do what she asked you to do and do it the right way. and that's nothing wrong there. again, i love to work for people like this. i would rather do that than people, oh, i don't know, i'm not too sure, we don't want that, i don't want that and i remember very quickly, and then i'll take the question, okay? the last one, with mrs. reagan, we are some day noon at the white house, we're going to have on tuesday the queen of the netherlands, and you know the netherlands is known for its tulip, the beautiful tulip over there. anyway, i had already shown nancy reagan two desserts which she said, roland, no. you know, nancy reagan, i studied her very early on. she's an interesting character. when she was going to give you the zinger, her head also booped to the right. and she eve

it has been a tough time for the past year or so for him. ot of different companies he is involved in. you wonder how he spreads his time and the attention that the three companies... is notjust his time but his manner. he does not shareece investors and investment bankers in the same way that other ceos are good at —— does not talk to. the same way that other ceos are good at -- does not talk to. the play the game. he doesn't. it's very active on twitter. he responds directly to... people who criticise him... on twitter. are we going to talk about tesla making its first profit in the first quarter was i thatis profit in the first quarter was i that is what they are hoping. it is on the right track for the car production now. they are starting to offer test rise in the new vehicle. that is important because tesla drivers i know love their vehicles. word of mouth is important for them to spread the word. thank you so much were coming in. that is the latest on tesla. more on the website. the trump administration confirms it's now considering mo

he actually had a couple points recruits journalists in "the new york times" still being paid by "the new york times," which would be a huge scandal today, but he writes a letter to arthur sulzberger, publisher of "the new york times" and asks him if he can borrow this correspondent to help him write reports and say you have "the new york times" correspondent coming on board. but also felt very familiar and watching coverage of this is a lot of journalists getting caught up in this optimism and then disavowing up later. how could anyone have thought that was possible. when you read the contemporaneous accounts, whether it's young correspondent for henry luce who created "time" magazine and became a key figure in the china lobby and a real critic of marshall at the time his writing and saying you're doing great. thank you so much for what you do. it also show up in china and get these briefings from the nationalist and would say they gave me the secret and they say you'll get taken for a ride for these guys, which again happens now. >> what role did britain play a this time and also br

that was during the time when we had no order to it. we would meet, you know, at 10:00 at night, you would meet at 2:00 in the morning, you would meet at 6:00 in the morning. i mean, it was -- you know, you would wait until midnight for a bill to get done and it wouldn't get done so you would go home and grab a couple hours sleep and, you know, at 4:00 -- i mean, it was insane. it isn't like that now i understand. it wasn't like that, you know, after they finally got some order to it, but it had been really bad. so i asked to go on energy and commerce because north carolina had always had a seat on energy and commerce being an important part of what north carolina does, and so that's when i requested energy and commerce and was fortunate enough to get it and moved on and that committee i loved. that was a very good one for our interests at home. but my favorite was intel. i loved the intelligence committee and that was one of my hardest decisions when i left was leaving the intelligence committee. it's a phenomenally well working committ

by the time we got to the victorians he was a villain.ened at some stage in between, and he is a reflection, like most historical figures, of the times. we are not looking at him, we are looking in a mirror. you explain that very well. i think that is a very interesting point. how and when did you become interested in him? because you had wanted to write about him since the start of your career, hadn't you? i began work on a historical novel and i was very young, 22, not long out of university. and i really saw myself as a historical novelist, and i thought, right, first i will do the french revolution and then i will turn my mind to thomas cromwell. and of course it doesn't work like that. no one's career is that smooth. and just as well, because i could write about the french revolution then, it was made by young men and women. i was even younger than they were. mostly they were dead by their mid—30s. you were 22? i was in my 20s and 30s when i was working on the book. and i could recognise their spirit and their hope, and their commitm

i'll just take whatever job to make me feel worthy at the time. so i guess his friend's advice he becomes a civil service commissioner. state legislator and obviously governor, but that path to the presidency taught him a lot of different kinds of leadership skills. i think made it much more comfortable when he finally reached the white house. >> the new book, turbulent times comes out this year. it will be at the national book festival weekend of september. booktv will be live with historian goodwin at that. what have you learned personally about turbulent times from these guys? that maybe you have applied in your own life? >> i think what the thing is that turbulent times create the opportunity for great leadership. it also could create the opportunity for failure. obviously, the depression was there with hoover. he was not able to mobilize the country in the way the fdr was. buchanan was president during the beginnings of the break apart of the south and the north. but he was able to deal with it the way lincoln was. what you learn is that those

most of the time, you would be issued rations. en you are issued your rations, not unlike the american civil war, they still issued hard bread, hard bread biscuits. they issued crackers. this is where we get the saltine length from. it was designed so it would seem -- sit neatly inside of the haversack on the horizontal. they also issued tins of meat. very simply, there is an afternoon lunch with a little saltine cracker and canned meat. the soldier is ready to go for the day. if you are lucky enough to have one of those stoves, you could have yourself some hot coffee. aside from that, the soldier had to rely on the government to make sure he got all of what he needed. if he was able to wind up finding a country house, whatever he was able to appropriate from that point on, that was the soldier's prerogative. things have not changed much since that time frame. mustard was something that was very prevalent at the time. this is a coarse-grained mustard that would have been common in the region. not something the soldier carried, but

it was that kind of thing all the time. if i did something, everybody was critical in a different way than they are today. this was kind of a first for the city. i was taken seriously. people came together and known as the city that works together. it was great experience because it gave me a grounding in the political process. at that time i had no plans to run for further office. when i look back on it, it was a good time and easier than serving in congress. >> in 1992 you decided to run in the republican primary for u.s. senate seat. why decide to make that transition and were you recruited by nip to do that. that was a bad decision on my part. i did a lot of testifying on issues before congress. it kind of seemed like a natural progression to do that. big mistake. again, i didn't have a lot of money and i was are you positiving against a self-funded millionaire who just poured everything he could into the race including all this underground stuff that was a nasty, bad experience that was really hard on my family. >> why

from the time the banished babies trade started, in 1945, that's when the mortality rate started to fallwhen vaccinations began, and when antibiotics began. there is no question that, whatever way you dress it up, and you can look into all these fact, figures and aspects of it, but the fact of the matter is there is no excuse for children dying at a rate of four out of every five babies dying in 1945 at bessborough. that is not to do with antibiotics. that is to do with lack of care. it is a point that has been made by david quinn, who writes in the irish catholic, and he puts it down to the fact that you don't even mention this idea of vaccinations and antibiotics coming onstream, and cutting infant mortality across society. i'm sorry, but david quinn as head of the iona institute, which is basically a very conservative catholic group in ireland. he has a motivation for saying that. he has provided absolutely no evidence whatsoever... but you do accept that that cut the infant mortality rate across society, and would've had an impact in these homes. i don't believe so, because there was

>> i was at the mortar position. at that time, my position was with the mortars, 81 millimeter mortars. this was an indirect fire weapon. also, at that time frame, i utilized my normal machine gun. i utilized two or three rifles, and i had a weapon that today probably would not be authorized to utilize. but, this was a shotgun. i had taken this pump shotgun and cut the barrel off of it, it was about this long, and i cut the handle off of it. i basically made a weapon that would work, if you were at this distance from a door, that shot would blow that door open with that weapon. this was ideal for close combat. also, i utilized, unfortunately, a lot of hand grenades. >> i know that all of you had already decided that you are not going to be captured, that you were going to fight into the end? >> that was something, we knew what was happening with this. a lot has been happening with it, especially with the special forces surges -- soldiers. if they captured one, they were executed on the spot. we made up our mind, no, we were not g

[laughter] she encourage you to do this, right? >> yeah, got some encouragement along the way from a lot of folks and i want to thank kramer for having us in you for doing this i'm at in. so might interest in writing has gone back for a long time. i actually remember the summer after i graduated college i read one of your books, the wise men and came across some struggling details made about all of these things the roosevelt administration was doing before world war ii at a time when america was at peace and that really piqued my interest in this hole.

i don't embrace it all the time. but to be a witness to other people's stories and their a sensitivity is the priority. >> you are in this book a little but it's really purely for mechanical reasons. about't really learn you. >> right. >> and not as it shouldt be a. >> you and i are those old-school types. it's not a memoir. if we do my job right we call it immersion reporting. how do you hang around long enough that people forget you're there so that's really what this book is about and it's also, i use the first person. i use the eye when it would be disingenuous to not be there, when it's clear if i were there wouldn't be happening. >> to convey the scene you can't do it without acknowledging. >> rate. it would be a trumped upo. thing. you spentot a lot of time with stacy and these neighbors and, it must've been, i just know for my own personal experience, it's a hard process. people who have never told her stories before, certainly publicold them in this way there's this implicit trust so how do you reckon with th

makes its debut in the modern time. after two or 300 years of obsolescence. >> i do this because it teaches me. i learned things that you just don't learn in books. when you wind up taking on the mantle of the people who come before you, and you begin to live their life a little bit, you begin to understand their mindset. one of the biggest difficulties that we have in our modern times is to see the path through their lenses. we oftentimes look at past events, and different decisions that were made through our modern eyes. but, there is no way you can get a true understanding for the reasons why people did what they did by doing so. however, by stepping back into their timeframe, into their attitudes, into their life, you begin to understand where they were coming from, and why they made the decisions that they did. >> not just to honor the men, but to understand them. and in that understanding, you -- anyone can do. you don't have to like it. no one has to like it. but in understanding it, it gives you a broader underst

"the times" says the president's legal team never got mcgahn's version of events ahead of time. so that's left them in a position where they believe that the white house counsel didn't put the president in legal jeopardy but they're not sure. here's rudy giuliani on "meet the press." >> we have a good sense, obviously, of what mr. mcgahn testified to. i can figure it out from -- >> how do you say that good sense? have you debriefed him? >> no, but mr. dowd has a good sense of it. he talked to them at the time. >> so you don't know what mr. mcgahn, you don't know 100% of what he testified to, mr. mueller? >> i think that through john dowd, we have a pretty good sense of it. john dowd yesterday said -- i'll use his words rather than mine -- that mcgahn was a strong witness for the president. so i don't need to know much more about that. >> i want to go to nbc's jegeof bennett who's live at the white house. the president on another twitter tear. the "new york times" reporting he's clearly -- "the new york times" reporting clearly has gotten him fired up. what's he saying this mornin

but it was a fairly typical mid western farm for the time period. henry ford really growing up on a farm, there is a lot of mechanical things to deal with. he was not a fan of the drudgery of farm work and looking for ways to make it easier and improve. his father also was of that mind and was into the latest machines, that would go to exhibitions to see the latest kinds of machines used for the farm. the windmill in the yard is an example of something that ford's father would have installed to pump water for livestock. so very early on he was really known for his mechanical abilities. he would repair watches. at a very young age he was running steam engines that would run sawmills or thrashing machines and things like that and hired out to do that kind of work. he left home to seek other work at a pretty young age of 16. he moved to detroit and found work as a machinist and different things so he started very early in that vain of working with machines. he went to -- through what was typical of farm families, which would be through primary education

and that's what i didn't get at the time. i thought, "why me?" t of young people feel the same way. your autobiography, under a mackerel sky, you'd better explain the title first. well, i didn't come up with it. it was actually someone at ebury books, one of the editors. but i thought it was such a good one because, when my father died, and i left england, rather hurriedly, i was walking out of a pub in notting hill gate, and there was a mackerel sky and i put it in the book, "mackerel sky is a sign of big change ahead", which indeed was the case for me. i didn't name it that but it's just the best name possible, as far as i'm concerned because, obviously, a lot of it is about my life as a seafood cook so it worked a treat. the thing that really struck me about your book was how rootless you were at first. you just didn't really know who you were. there's a great quote right at the start from james thurber, "all men should strive to learn before they die what they are running from and to and why." i love james thurber, those fables. the book was c

that they wrote at the time or didn't. if you have any sense you know you make you make some interesting points that is new york times journalists as you pointed out these actual tweets from the past before time. it raises an interesting point though we've seen quite a number of high profile people recently released jobs because of revelations of tweets they made in the past you know raise the question of whether that. history of her should have been covered a lot sooner well i'm not so sure we've seen so many people fired in the past i mean if you have some tell them to me we've had people fired for bad behavior in the past like with me tube. but i can't you know nothing leaps to mind of somebody having been fired for a tweet they did five years ago well i'm thinking of the guardians of the galaxy direct. thinking of well more recently i think it was roseanne barr with tweets that she sent out and that was more contemporaneous but it seems like there was. this is something that now becoming more frequently occurring it see

brian: at what point in your careers did you have the best time, the most interesting time, the most teresting time? the time in the house -- who were 12 years in the house, 40 years in the senate? mr. smock: the bicentennial of congress. it was a wonderful opportunity for us to do a lot of very interesting things, a lot of the things come a lot of fun things. a documentary film on the congress done by ken burns, working with ken on that kind of a project, working with chief justice burger on the commission of the bicentennial, and the commission that was there, and senator byrd, of course, running the senate bicentennial committee, and i'm working for tip o'neill and jim wright and lindy boggs, the congresswoman who was the head of the house bicentennial. that is how i got to know senator byrd. i was on the house side. it was during the bicentennial as we planned events around the country and one of the big things that can out of that was the visitors center at the capitol, the national constitution center in philadelphia. so those were heady times. mr. ritchie: i remember those time

yes, well, those questions come up all the time, and it's interesting the telegraph and the times pointedhat he was of sudanese origin, he was a british national, that language is interesting front—page news, because it does feed into the idea, and it makes the story more dramatic i think. and you're unhappy with that, aren't you? it is a fact, of course it isa aren't you? it is a fact, of course it is a fact, it is interesting for me in the context of the burqa row and the boris row and the language we put on the front pages and how much attention we give these stories serves a role, yes, keeping the public informed, but i think some of them are quite scary and, actually... when they don't need to be? we should be relieved that over the last few months we have not seen anything like last year, which clearly means people are doing their jobs, and we have to remember that behind every failed, you know, attempt today, hundreds are being caught and plots stopped. it's really interesting because it is a good story and it's shocking and scary and it gets you riled up and you can imagine sittin

>> you did, according to the new york times. >> well i surely got it right because it is the new york times. well, you know, that would be true; right? it would be very hard for me then to identify with asian americans, you know. but it's true that, you know, just in a general kind of way, you know, like the jewish americans, we were kind of a middle minority; right? i always saw us as like, you know, we might have identified with the whites growing up, but it quickly became apparent that we were not white; right? but, you know, we were the minority that was not african-american. and i will say, you know, you can be black and also not be the minority that is african-american, like the nigerian americans are a great example of yes, they are black, but they also do not have this legacy. and i think there is a huge wall between all the minorities that have lots to deal with, i mean there is plenty to deal with, especially today, and people who actually, you know what i mean who have been in america from the get-go and who have been slaves. there's a huge divide. >> let's hear from patty

that was a radical position at the time but some people took it. then there were people who were very provincial in their outlook. but what was true as the war went on, people's opinions changed and by seeing slavery on the ground, by having an esteemed president like lincoln issue the emancipation proclamation, it brought it all home. instead of just words that were on a paper, some sort of doctrine like the monroe doctrine or something like that, they actually saw it in effect. that changed people's minds. then they changed other people's minds until you had an active contest during reconstruction about what america represented and how to represent the ideas of the constitution. >> one last question. how do you expect today's racial dynamic, after going through all these things, how come we still have such a, i mean, i don't want to say hate, but the tension, strong tension, increasing tension, among different race? >> i think that's something my wife and i talk about all the time. whether you blame it on technology or horrible politics or whateve

the market rebounded by the end of that time period? >> because the market falls from june-to-june by more than 20% plus the cost which was 1.7 -- it had to fall by more than 22%. >> the market did begin to recover rapidly on march ninth, okay? it had a really robust rally in the second half of march and april. i don't recall what the return was from march to june but it was considerable. i believe that the market by march ninth at the start of the fiscal year was down about 40 but i think that it finished at a loss of 26 or 27%. i think that it's like negative 27% or 28%. so you have to get your timing exactly right. because when the markets -- because bull markets, they tend to -- they tend to be not always, again, every bull market has its own characteristics and 73%, 74% was just a drip and every month was down. and whereas in the bursting of the internet bubble, the markets actually rose sharply for several months preceding the 2000 election. now the market gapped down quite a bit but then from about june to october it rose a lot an
