the last minute on the program go ahead thomas. you know i'm old enough to remember of the 3 stooges on television i know i did i do grow up in europe remember this but there was one episode there's one episode where the stooges kept committing crimes quickly wanted to go to jail because there was good food there a warm bed and everything and that's what they wanted and so it's a little more pleasant than getting low and so that's that's basically what we're looking at here the people who seek safety and security at the hands of the state yeah yeah but if you do that you give up your freedom is not a fair exchange in your mind i don't think it's a fair exchange you know no no no no no no the point of like to make as a lot of my students you know the young people are very concerned about the environment and but when i teach when my classes and i show them all the failures of government in protecting the environment and also all the private solutions of voluntary solutions free market environmentalism as a whole subdiscipline now in

interesting thomas e. and i i i i think it's really well said already on this program is that there is very little knowledge of what actually economics how it really works and an ideology called socialism that has a track record of utter failure here but it's fused into political correctness isn't it i mean i actually came across a lecture about if you take down capitalism you take down the patriarchy as well i mean this to all this stuff is getting really fused together and it and i have no he quit they're talking about but they certainly feel good about it thomas. you know what well you know i think it was c. is a puppet and she has a puppet master which is her former chief of staff yeah who's some wealthy silicon valley guy and i think they know what they're doing you know live on me she's wrote this famous book in the 1920 s. called socialism and at the end of it he talks about what he calls destruction is and he said all socialists have always been 1st and foremost about destruction as in that is dest

the business secretary reveals the latest shock in the collapse of thomas cook. thomas cook only took out insurance cover for the very largest personal injury claims. and departing mps make theirfinal speeches in the commons. there have been occasions of the last week since i announced my intention to step down, when i felt that i have been granted the privilege of attending my own funeral arrangements without the need to arrive in a hearse. but first, and peas across the commons have called on the government to publish a report into alleged russian interference in uk democracy. the document from parliament's intelligence and security committee, the isc, is currently with the prime minister. well, mps feared if it wasn't published before parliament dissolved for the general election, it was unlikely to see daylight until well into next year. the chair of the committee said the security agencies had all agreed the report could be published. my secretary at tell me that it is unprecedented that we should have had no response at all explaining why any further delay

author and long—time correspondent for die welt, thomas kielinger.olitical commentator alexander nekrassov. 9th november 1989. the day the berlin wall came down. those who poured across it made history, others watched and wept. "europe whole and free" proclaimed the united states. some observers heralded the end of history, a conclusive victory for western liberal democracy. but three decades on, is europe still celebrating? that is the question we will consider but before we do that, thomas start us off by giving your recollection of that day, because of course you were already halfway through your adult life and indeed the wall had been there for all of your life up until that point. so when you saw come down, how did you feel? i felt throughout, a must say. i participated in the bbc newsnight programme the night after it fell, asking a east german dissident and myself what i thought of the uniting of the country. i was honest and said i did not know much of east germany. i lived on the western side and never visited east germany in my previous lif

perry thanks a lot thomas. well meanwhile frank german president and by this time i has invited the heads of states from poland the czech republic hungary and slovakia to berlin for those celebrations in the taishan his official recognition of the role that these countries played in bringing down the berlin wall paving the way to democracy poland became the 1st country in the warsaw pact to tolerate an independent trade union solid on the ocean or solidarity in english this led to the 1st semi free elections in june of 1989. during the same month activists held a protest picnic in hungary officials allowed them to cut its border fence to austria. thousands of east german holidaymakers seized the opportunity to and to the west in the summer of 1909 more and more is german refugees escape the country via hungry and the former czechoslovakia then in september 1989 the west german foreign minister hans de to address the thousands of refugees who had been stranded in prague. from the balcony of the west german embas

all right i want to go even now to thomas who is standing by thomas sperry just tell us a little bit more about what is happening there as these ceremonies profession take place. was i mentioned just a 2nd ago this is the main political event on the day of the berlin wall and the 1st we've had our whole week here of what has been described as a festival so more than 200 events in different locations in that played a role in the fall of the berlin wall 30 years ago and one of the highlights is obviously what is happening right here in back i watched this very important i mean morial where you can clearly understand what that division meant 30 years ago how about division actually separated families and friends how it also affected obviously the politics not only of germany but also of the entire region and what we're seeing today especially this morning is the political event with chancellor angela merkel with the german president francois dust on my on with the 4 leaders of poland czech republic slovakia hungary and we will see also here as we also mentioned religious part of the cer

remind me of a 19th century work gentleman named thomas fuller, discussing witches. at first withns doing tricks rather strange than hurtful. yay, some of them are pretty and pleasing. but it is dangerous to gather the banksat grow on of the pit of hell, for fear of falling in. they which play with the devil's rattles will be brought wield his sword. from making of sport they come to doing of mischief. johnson and brandice skirted pits of might call the hell. they crafted things that looked a little strange but also had a beauty. they did what, i think, is in the best tradition of the court. a way to give meaning to the notion that while we are technically a court of law, what is aally are working for court of justice. thank you.

there was something like {1.9 billion of debt on thomas cook's balance sheet.illion but it is quite clear that had the government put that significant sum of taxpayers money to thomas cook, we would have ended up in the same position where we are today where we would have had to repatriate those customers and we would have had to do exactly as we would have done, but the taxpayer would also be £250 million worse off. the end of this parliament meant it was time to say goodbye to more than 70 mps who are standing down at the general election. in the commons, they had the chance to make a final speech. labour's ann clwyd has been an mp since 1984. i am standing down from this election with a heavy heart, especially as there was so much that i would still like to do. i've got a long shopping list and i have not completed the shopping. i would like to thank all my constituents who sent me such wonderful letters and kindness. i won't not miss many of my party political activists, i would have to say, but i will miss my constituents. sir patrick mcloughlin used to be

thomas middleditch, snake tooth!ládeia, and there's more to me than hiv. there's my career... my cause... and creating my dream home. i'm a work in progress. so much goes into who i am. hiv medicine is one part of it. prescription dovato is for adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment and who aren't resistant to either of the medicines dolutegravir or lamivudine. dovato has 2 medicines in 1 pill to help you reach and then stay undetectable. so your hiv can be controlled with fewer medicines while taking dovato. you can take dovato anytime of day with food or without. don't take dovato if you're allergic to any of its ingredients or if you take dofetilide. if you have hepatitis b, it can change during treatment with dovato and become harder to treat. your hepatitis b may get worse or become life-threatening if you stop taking dovato. so do not stop dovato without talking to your doctor. serious side effects can occur, including allergic reactions, liver problems, and liver failure. life-threatening side effects include

and everyone understood james madison would be the successor to thomas jefferson. problem was now you had james monroe, who had been governor in virginia. he had been secretary of state under james madison. and he then becomes president. well lot of other people are , a starting to say, wait a minute. how come the virginians are consistently in this office getting nominated for this office and essentially winning this office? by the time munroe's presidency is winding down, it is 1824 and competition has been brewing for years. people cannot wait to jump in. so now they have a lot of candidates and one of those was actually william crawford, who had been secretary of the treasury, if i recall, and crawford gets what's called the king caucus endorsement. so the king caucus was essentially a meeting of each party's congressional delegation to determine who should be the party's nominee. it is kind of derogatorily caucusd to as the kings because people outside washington were saying, wait a minute. you mean these congressional members get elected king? we are in a dem

perry thanks a lot thomas. well the 9th of november is also the date of the night of broken glass and 938 nazis attacked jewish people property the start of systematic persecution of jews that led to the horrors of the holocaust. you know ups it was thought it was only in there give on the notes about 55696 names read aloud by members of the jewish community in berlin names of berlin victims of the holocaust a service to commemorate the night of broken glass took place under visible police protection with recent anti-semitic attacks fresh in people's memory. and to make this movement anti semitism is on the rise this could it be that we need to find new ways of remembering this most perhaps we must take new paths to fight anti semitism and to make this most. right most of the office suggested that if every german student visited israel once it might prevent programs from happening in the future in the night from november 9th to november 10th 1938 nazis set thousands of jewish synagogues shops and residences on

thomas griffiths appeared to be a normal 17—year—old boy.dd a close family. there were no warning sides or red flags regarding his behaviour. however, his actions on the 3rd of may were truly unthinkable. the injuries he inflicted on ellie gould were horrific. not only did he end her life in the cruellest way imaginable, he then attempted to cover his tracks by hiding items, washing clothing, and even messaged ellie gould's phone as if nothing had happened. in murdering ellie gould, thomas griffiths has destroyed the lives of those close to her. none more so than her pa rents, to her. none more so than her parents, brother, and sister. i would like to pay tribute to them for the strength they have shown during these most unthinkable times. they have shown the most upmost composure during today's court appearance. while i know this prison sentence won't bring ellie gould back, in 12 and a half years seems insignificant given the severity of the crime and colossal loss for this family, i do hope, in some way, it buys them some sort of closure.

thomas felt threatened for his safety, and the safety of his wife who was his passenger. she examined reasons body for herself, and three bullet wounds in the back of his body. the police account doesn't explicitly say that, but it does say that sergeant thomas fired at reason, who they say was fleeing with his gun, and quote raised it at one point. end quote. >> so far it doesn't appear they have given it an unbiased look. >> reporter: the final determination will be made by the solano county district attorney's office. in vallejo, i'm andre senior, ktvu, fox 2 news. >>> the palo alto city council approved a settlement with the resident of a mobile home park who was violently arrested last year. gustava alvarez will receive more than $572,000. the settlement also requires a written apology from the supervising officer who slammed alvarez into the hood of a car outside his home. alvarez was arrested for driving with a suspended license. >> his sense of safety and security in his home was completely robbed by these officers who violated a whole slough of civil rights that

justice thomas, he was one of those.any people in my career have encouraged me as a lawyer, but because what we contribute to society has moved me. host: what do you do? elizabeth: a lot of it is work on opinions and petitions that come to the court. both as a justice and the court as a whole. it's a tremendous privilege. one of the privileges that we don't talk too much about what happens in the court process. there are rules around that. it's really about the support of the court. the amount of work is tremendous. the volume of petitions that come in are than the thousands. for each case, managing the research, opinion drafting, making sure that the conference and vote is reflected in the opinions and getting them out of the public in a timely way is a tournament of work. the justices do their work obviously in the vote in their writing. law clerks are there to do the work of getting the opinions out. i clerked for justice thomas in 2009. typically there are four judges. host: we have a clip from 2016. apparently he ha

thomas has got to know a lot of the people quite well.he found special value in the experiences of the older people. as a god. i found the years between 80 and 100 especially exciting because i didn't know very many people of that age and i've seen how much is possible in terms of changes in life experience or even a new beginning and 84 year old started taking tennis lessons and i met a very lively 99 year old. i was surprised and happy to see how much joy and lust for life is still possible at that age. back to the book release. people of every age of come. thomas cure our study of human change touches upon a theme that affects us all. in this i think i think it's inspiring because you can see yourself in context you see what's yet to come what really moved me about these photos was not so much how faces and appearances are marked by age i take it that they gazes. even the positive sides tend to come to the fore when you're older and you focus more on the good side of life. and not only what was good but what still good. is the book cap

in a commons statement the business secretary said thomas cook only had insurance cover for the veryms. as promised cook and get into liquidation without entering any protection for pending claims the vast majority of claimants who are not covered by the insurance including customers who have suffered very serious injuries and loss of life will be treated as unsecured creditors. and were unlikely to get compensation, so the government would act. this is an extraordinary situation which never should have arisen. while the government cannot and will not step into the shoes of thomas cook, we do intend to develop proposals for statutory compensation scheme and it must strike a responsible balance here between the moral duty to respond to those in the most serious financial need and our responsibility to the taxpayer. labour said a £188 million bridging loan would have helped the firm survive. it would have allowed profitable parts of the business to be sold while still trading and for workers' rights to be protected. this would have supported the wider economy and communities as well. g

he also wants to appeal to his patron, thomas jefferson. how does he walk the line? fletcher versus peck is renowned for three things. the notion of a state statute can set up something that is contract similar to the contract clause, even though it is not a private agreement. the traditional common-law understanding. fletcher is the first time the supreme court declared a state law unconstitutional. .hird, the johnson concur the first two are wrong. what of the first opinions johnson participated, it was a case where anticipating fletcher, john marshall held a state statute could in fact create a contract and be subject to contract laws interpretation -- clause interpretation. united states versus peters, john marshall again, a state law is unconstitutional. the first two about fletcher, been there, done that. they are simply not true. is johnson wrote an opinion in which he said i wholeheartedly agree with the court, this measure is unconstitutional. the parameters of fletcher i won't go in to. toy are vaguely familiar most of us. it is in every common-law casebook

and we bring in our political correspondent thomas starr now thomas nato is having a bit of a crisis as it seems with the french. talking of brain death is germany in any position to help put the alliance back on track. germany has political clout i would say that's certainly the case germany has defended nato in various occasions and as we just heard also from london local germany believes that nato is absolutely fundamental to germany's defense so from a political standpoint from a political position germany certainly can play an influential role another issue completely different issue is whether germany can do the same militarily given it by particular the problems of the german military has been facing now for a very long time so i think we have to understand this 2 part situation where germany could play politically a very important role but whether it can do that militarily that's another question that absolutely is the question when we have the german defense minister talking about germany shouldering more global responsibility when it comes to security but we know i mean hea
