we had this discussion with the trade unions. payment. what's angering some women i've spoken to, though, is that the detail of this was never fully explained to them. i bet you got told numerous times that i deserved every penny that i got. and more. yes, you're absolutely right. thank you. yeah. absolutely. well, then, why are you making such a fuss about it? well, because... because the women aren't. ..i know what the promise was. they know what the promise was... and i know what the women were told. honestly, anybody could ask these questions. yeah. you're stirring a pot, in my view, that has not been a pot that's upset anybody up to today. but that's. .. you know, that yourjob. are your members paying legal fees as part of the settlement? to us? no. that's not what i asked. no, i don't believe they are. are your members paying legal fees as part of the settlement? i don't believe... my understanding is there is settlement arrangement, it's subject to a confidentiality agreement. there is... which is not meeting any of our fee

the unions. unions. a lot of the lassies out there are lone working, don't see anybody. t. so how are you meant to get this all passed on? through your unions. and did your unions advise you? no. took our union dues, and we didn't even warrant a stamp. that's the way i see it. didn't warrant a stamp to tell us to make a claim. some claims were going in, though, by a firm called action 4 equality, for years a thorn in the side of local authorities, pursuing equal pay cases against them. so far, it's successfully represented 300,000 cases around the uk, reaching settlements of almost £4 billion. i last interviewed its director stefan cross 11! years ago when, he says, the unions were campaigning against them. hello. how are you? it's been some time. thank you so much. i really appreciate it. thank you. we had the trade unions picketing meetings to stop people getting in to hear about the equal pay struggle. when we say to stop people getting in, to stop the women from getting in? yeah. they often told the women that it would cost them theirjobs, or other people'sjobs, if th

or would be union when the war -- would the union when the war? so much was uncertain, largely because of a basic and centrally important fact about emancipation. this was not something that could be decreed simply by politicians, but had to be one by an army at war and that army would prove to be an imperfect ally, as you probably already heard me suggesting. the army was not fit to receive -- oversee a refugee crisis when the war began and most men did not predict this would be part of their duty. soldiers and officers very in their commitment to ending slavery, something historians here this week and have written about. some soldiers and officers were abolitionists and they dove right in. in some of them became very active in assisting these refugees. some of them assumed positions, newly created official positions in the military bureaucracy as superintendents of contraband or superintendents of colored refugees, but there were others who felt the opposite and did the opposite. in the most extreme cases there were union soldiers who helped ret

union, or simply remain in the european union altogether. yet the prime minister has made it clear that he was not and is not interested in meaningful discussions with the snp, or with our scottish government. he and his cronies do not care about scotland. this government has sold scotland out and once again they have let scotland down. ireland has been allowed special arrangements to remain in the eu single market and customs union, but the prime minister will not afford scotland the same arrangement. he did not even consider giving scotland a fair deal. mr. speaker, despite the fact that the scottish people, like the people of northern ireland, voted overwhelmingly to remain in the european union, this prime minister has never entertained the notion of giving scotland the same arrangements that northern ireland gets in this deal. the truth is that this prime minister does not care about scotland, he and his government have ignored the scottish government and the scottish people. speaker, not a single mp who cares about scotland's featur --

union, part of the cake customs union, not the eu customs union, out of the vat regime and importantlytly, unless the assembly both have a part to agree to, that isa both have a part to agree to, that is a very significant advance. in brussels, political leaders have a cautious welcome to the proposals but also expressed some concern. ican i can tailor the first reaction was not positive. —— i can tell you. not positive and that we think it is really the safeguard that we will need. both point after point, the reasons for that, what is not acceptable. there is progress but to be frank, a lot of work still needs to be done to reach and to fulfil the three objectives of the backstop, no border and protecting the market which means protecting the market which means protecting the consumer, the citizens of the businesses inside the single market member states. in a moment, huw edwards has the national news bulletin. tonight at ten, borisjohnson delivers his new brexit proposals to the eu. he says compromise is required on both sides. his seven—page document for the european commission pres

the union has been attempting cavalry raids on the virginia-tennessee railroad, which is a vital link connecting , and theinto knoxville union knows that strategic importance and is threatening it. lee gives breckinridge some choices. he does not tell him exactly how to go about it, but gives him suggestions and tools that he should coordinate with. it is also similar to the way we would delegate tasks to other commanders, such as stonewall jackson. report on mayt a 1, the same day that lee writes to breckinridge. he writes from bunker hill, virginia, may 1, 18 64, "two lieutenant general grant -- two lieutenant general grant. he has details of the cavalry's progress and then says, "i have no positive information yet whether a large force of the enemy is in the shenandoah valley. from all reports i have received, i believe there is not. mcneil and another with a thousand men and others with 2000 men are near woodstock. there scouts are at winchester. when general has probably moved from stanton to woodstock with about 3000 or 4000 infantry and artillery. todayl occupy winchester with

in an open ended relationship trade relationship with the european union so it's it is good for the european union because it protects the integrity of islands in the in the sphere of the beast because it because it maintains the good friday agreements and in the sphere of protecting the single market because there is no customs checks on the island of ireland equally as you had boris johnson say that in his assessments it's good for the u.k. because in one sense it does allow the whole of the u.k. including northern ireland to know draw from the european union's trading arrangements because the because they put the trade borders as if it's goods in the middle of the irish sea so both sides in that sense can get off. a medal big point of saying it's not just westminster that has to agree to this is the european parliament i don't suppose the european parliament is going to have a particular issue with the issue with it plainly is going to be the u.k. parliament which seems to be able to have it in its will to reject every single deal offered to its while the greens were absolutely nothing an

the union. ink these guys that went on strike, they said more people should join these unions to have some type of protection. that is my comment. host: thank you. he brought up right to work states. we will show a quick list of some of the right to work states in the united states. do you see more states adopting right to work, or do you see unionization growing around the country? right to work is something that over the past several years has become more popular. , the capital of the auto industry, where the you will w -- where the uaw is located, passed a right to work law several years ago. right to work laws say people do not have to be a member of a union in order to work at a past. as they did in the they do not have to pay the collecting of bargaining dues. this creates a free rider effect where people can opt out. one thing we have noticed is that, at least michigan's right to work law certainly did not stop the union from going on strike and did not stop it from collective bargaining.

union, subject to the european union, subject to the european union in terms of regulation but the plana say in that that would review every couple years. there would be some checks between great britain, england, scotland and wales, and northern ireland as well, so wales, and northern ireland as well, so it is an attempt to try and find a space between the two already rejected proposals. lots more to get into we will do that in a few moments. but then the not so small matter of the first party conference speech of the prime minister as leader. you you will not have to wait much longer brexit. soaking the party members to see borisjohnson for my first speech as leader, they started queueing before dawn even thought of cracking. to a blast of the wh, he was soon in the hall and talking brexit. after three and a half yea rs, brexit. after three and a half years, people are beginning to feel they are being taken for falls. they suspect there are forces in this country that do not want brexit delivered at all. if they turn out to be right in that suspicion, then i believe there will be grav

a match between the united kingdom the european union. didn't and. the u.k. government as went to dalton one thought in the restoril agreement. the people. the question of the protocol in ireland and lawson ireland. throughout these negotiations the un the u.k. where are fully committed to protect beaches to protect the stability on the out on the violence. we add that to recall sila 2 objectives 1st include illegally operative solution in that would work remove that food avoid the odd border between iran and north an island preserve the all ireland economy and protect the integrity of the single market. secondly a point to extremely important to prime minister johnson and the u.k. was that north and i am on the remains in the u.k. is customs territory. discussions over the past days at a times been difficult. but we deliver on it and we deliver old. the solution that we found rests on for main elements number one. norseman island will remain and i and to a limited set of e.u. rules are not up really early to goods this means that all are applicable procedura

the largest union in the country. we created the cio and said the auto industry should have a union. the steel industry should have a union. the textile workers should have a union. everybody should have a union. so you're looking at the union that created the middle class. and we said people of color regardless of where they come from, what language they speak, should be able to hold union office for the first time. so those who look down their nose at us, they're wrong. don't know what they're talking about, and they should probably read their history. everybody wants to get their picture taken with a coal miner that's running for office. isn't that amazing? but they don't want anything to do with us when they get into office. the first person that i recall and one of the most iconic pictures ever was eleanor roosevelt. 1935, this woman went underground, and a woman underground in 1935 was considered bad luck. women should not be underground. and in those days, this country was saying too many miners are being kille

. >>> the british government and the european union announced a brexit agreement today which now goes to parliament for consideration. earlier this week, queen elizabeth ii addressed the state opening of british parliament. her remarks commonly referred to as the queen's speech outlines the priorities for the new parliamentary session. >> please be seated. >> my lords and members of the house of commons, my government's priority has always been to secure the united kingdom's departure from the european union on the 31st of october. my government intends to work toward a new partnership with the european union based on free trade and friendly cooperation. my pministers will work to implement new regimes, fisheries, agriculture, and trade, seizing the opportunities that arise from leaving the european union. a new immigration bill ending free movement will lay the foundation for a fair, modern and global immigration system. my government remains committed to ensuring that resident european citizens who have built their lives in and contributed so much to the united kingdom, have the rig

that it is favorable and safe for the citizens of the european union. the key change in comparison is the earlier version of the e.u. this prime minister joins us acceptance to have customs checks at the point of entry into law the island this compromise will resume will allow us to avoid both the checks between ireland and northern ireland and will and show the integrity of the single market. the reality is that today we have a deal. which allows us to avoid chaos and an atmosphere of conflict between the e.u. $27.00 and the united kingdom. and fall of the european council invited the commission the european parliament and the council to end showed that this agreement can enter into falls on the 1st of november 29th team. now we are all waiting for the votes in both parliament. other more per some a lot. of what i feel today is frankly speaking sadness. because the layouts i will always be remain well they hope that our business friends decide storyteller and they. will always be open thank you thank you and now president of the you think mission you kn

my government in can order a new partnership with the european union. free training and friendly cooperation. there was the queen's but your earlier today i think we're in store for another big week in that never ending saga known as break city to be used for exit analysts she's your busy woman aren't you know it's 4th wife and she's here to talk with this. talk about this queen's speech queen's speech 1st of all you and i were talking earlier it's basically the speech that the prime minister's office gives her to read and it was it all about bricks right well it wasn't all about bricks it so we saw the public we saw the pageantry of the queen arriving in in westminster going to the house of lords to read as you say the words that boris johnson's government wanted her to read so she talked about other issues on the agenda such as fighting crime health care except about the pick issue here isn't boris johnson's government doesn't have a majority so therefore none of this is likely to get through and instead it was more like an election manifesto for the c

s departure from the european union the e.u. calls it fair and balanced but anything else still needs to be backed by all the e.u.'s member states and at the u.k. parliament so what are the prospects of success. and the top u.s. officials arrive in turkey to try to broker a ceasefire in northern syria they'll try to persuade ankara to end the offensive it started when u.s. troops withdrew but turkey's president is valid to push i have forgotten what. i. am. i'm serious oh my god it's good to have you with us britain and the e.u. say they have reached a deal on the u.k.'s withdrawal from the european union the break that agreement is set to be agreed in principle at a european union leaders summit that's due to start in brussels shortly now british prime minister boris johnson is helling it as quote a great new deal here on twitter he's urging the u.k. parliament to approve it this week the deal lays out terms on sticking points including border and customs issues between e.u. member state ireland and northern ireland which is pa

leaving the european union and not the european union leaving. the u.k. and we are doing everything in our power to ensure that that exit is on an orderly basis and we are willing to engage constructively with our counterparts but we're not going to be the ones left holding the bag the ball or any other kind of object meanwhile the irish prime minister. made it clear the current proposals would not work our objective is very clear we don't want to see any customs posts between north and south nor do we want to see any tariffs or restrictions on trade north and south they were all in the 1990 s. we don't want to go back to the russian the majority of people in the north don't the majority of people in the republic of ireland don't. well the proposals are also struggling to find support in northern ireland but members of the democratic unionist party have defended boris johnson blaming ireland for setting the u.k. on a path to no deal the proposal will be amended the proposal is there the proposal will get the support of the house of commons therefore the e

when you're operating within the same customs union zone but once you cross a customs barrier you then need to have checkpoints in place and even even norway where people talk about norway being a member of the single market which is kind of what johnson proposes for northern ireland but norway is not in the customs union with the a you that the white times there on the best of days can still be in the order of 15 minutes and of course the norway sweden border is a quite a small one relative to norway in some sense in terms of the size of those economies the northern ireland border of course you know 300 miles long quite stradley it would just be a recipe for smuggling and contraband so really the ne the only thing on the table for him to shoot will be troll agreement would be to go back to one of those 2 versions of the agreement that was thrashed out over the last year or so failing that it's hard to see then very goes if he really wants to leave the european union by the 31st of october and the nation brokering in dublin i mean i guess to boil this down mrs may's deal m.p.'s hated i

but not at the expense of what we do with the european union sitting in the european union sitting inean union we have a important value based relationship and important agreement with the eu which has significant political parts. i understand. but i am talking about big vision and big future. there are many people, countrymen and women of yours whose long—term dream is to see armenia in the european union or ina see armenia in the european union or in a close association with it and inside nato or in a close association with it but you are not one of those. no-one in armenia is going to do something that will undermine. we are security conscious. we're not going to do to undermine our security force. the bottom line, you stay with moscow. in the end, the moscow is the greatest guarantor of your security. dig we are not staying with moscow, washington nor brussels. we are only for the interest of armenia and that requires a difficult act. this is for the security and the interest of armenia, the end national interest. this is what we reject entirely. the bipolar rule of this way all t

the death due to the union in northern ireland? this agreement, and an election which the prime minister would use to justify breaking his promises to the people of northern ireland. that is an offer which we can refuse and will be quite happy to do so. because whilst we want to see brexit delivered, we want to see it delivered, we want to see it delivered for the whole of the uk. we wa nt delivered for the whole of the uk. we want to see it delivered in the form that the prime minister, three times, or twice because he changed his mind the third time, twice voted for in this house. and we will not be prepared to facilitate him moving the goalposts affecting northern ireland in this way. and for that reason, whilst we do not fear a general election, whilst we want to see brexit delivered, if it is not going to be delivered for the whole of the uk, then i do not think that anyone in this house could possibly condemn us for standing up for our constituents. 0ur constituents who will be damaged economically, our constituents who will

can move forward and that also includes new members potential new members of the european union members in brussels will talk about what's your member states for example the accession protocol for north macedonia and also about its budget the budget in brussels going to be a big issue and all those issues could be now addressed in merkel's policy speech in berlin today before she would leave for brussels ok you know the chancellor has indicated that she's very interested in getting breaks behind germany behind the entire u.n. to move forward with the future goals of the european union that is one big mission you can say that the chancers are trying to achieve in the final years or even months of her term in office yes so the european union and house are sort of like leave a mark on like the big mission has always been in the last couple years multilateralism and to stay up like to stand up for a liberal democratic will do it and of course the european union is the heart and center of politics that she conducts at the moment and yes she is also going to host a big european summit

for britain to leave the european union. the deal will still need to be ratified by both british lawmakers and european leaders. british prime minister boris johnson says he plans to put his deal to a vote in the house of commons on saturday. some british political groups, such as the democratic unionist party in northern ireland, say they will not support the agreement. meanwhile, many residents across the united kingdom continue to oppose brexit. this is johnny kelly in northern ireland. >> we are all border residents. we all have great concerns about the impact of brexit. we considered to be undemocratic in the senense the people of t e nonorth of ireland did not vote for brexit in the first place. all of the analysis outt there would demonstrate very clearly that any brexit will have a detrimental effect on the people and the economy of this island. amy: in spain, massive street protests are continuing in the catalonia region after nine spanish separatist leaders were sentenced to prison on monday for their role in catalo

they could have the best of both worlds, in the regulatory union with the eu and customs union with thethe eu has allowed done now, the eu and london, has allowed stormont to have a say, democratic process, with regards the checks and balances —— the eu has allowed them now. if they don't like them, they can move away from it. would you expect any tory mp voting against us to lose the weight?” hope we can come together as a party. -- the wet. should they lose the weight? i voted against interventions in the middle east and idid not interventions in the middle east and i did not lose the whip. those who voted against no deal dead.” i did not lose the whip. those who voted against no deal dead. i hope we can come together and get the deal through parliament —— those who voted against no deal did. we need to get back sit down and talk about other important issues, public services, health, economy. thank you very much. we can speak now to stephen hammond, wimbledon mp and former health minister thrown out of the conservative party earlier this year after he rebelled against the government t

the u.k. customs union so if you k. does deals with the us it can profit from that but there's a back door enough back door we'll keep the border between northern ireland and the republic which is staying in the open so basically if you want to be positive about it they have the best of all possible worlds even membership on officially pragmatically on. on a day to day basis traveling over and back across their open border but they also have access to these wonderful new global britain trade deals of london will be agreeing so they got the best of all possible worlds but the people in northern onto a lot of the queen they don't want to be they don't want special treatment they just want to be as good you know u.k. citizens anyone else and they think that as time goes on and the trade differences between you can you get bigger the gap between northern r. than the rest of the u.k. will become great figure and then there was sort of on the slippery slope towards united on which they want to avoid but only let's talk a littl

because britain might want to sort of undercut the rest of the european union and becomes a competitive singapore in the thames but this is he's getting into detail at the end of the day to people trust german core and i think the answer is really no and there's been this terribly damaging thing about the summit but anti-semitism within the labor party labor party has been consuming itself i mean it almost doesn't need an opposition party like the tories it's fighting itself i don't really know how to try to the proposition labor is at the moment this leader but of course that's for the bridge voters to decide that labor but now has a relatively clear position it says it wants a 2nd you referendum it's taken labor 3 years to come to a relatively clear position so ultimately if you want britain to remain in the european union you can have relatively safely vote for either labor all the little democrats or the greens always cultures national party whichever might have the best chance in the constituency in which you live that might save them but a 2nd referendum 2 years ago perhaps by the
