"use yourjudgement on masks" continues the telegraph — which says borisjohnson will tell the public that they will no longer be bound by covid laws on face masks and social distancing but should instead exercise their own judgment. the guardian reports on the backlash from scientists over the planned lifting of restrictions as government scientific advisers warn that lifting lockdown will be like building "new variant factories".

toni. and grew up and near and dear to my heart and serving a program like this has that has done so many things and part of from a working class family and going to museums weren't at the top of the priority list to put food on the table and knowing now that other students an kids in the community can experience museums and to help community healing is the greatest part and something i am very grateful that this is happening. especially i learned that equalified for this program in undergrad at u.c. davis. to come back to the city with something so great and beneficial is happening, makes my heart so full. thank you again mayor breed and thank you to the team that made this happen. and yeah, thank you so much. i hope you have a bulletproof day. >> thank you, mary toni. i know what it feels like to be in college and went to u.c. davis and it was definitely a struggle. i am glad that program is benefitting you and others who want access to what our things that are what carol called fun. and fun shouldn't be expensive. fun should just be fun. that is what this is also about. and with that, thank y

. >> toni grew up with her two brothers around mississippi, the epitome of the old south. bitious, academically and athletically. and yet -- >> did tony embrace the hair in the makeup? the things you would think of from a southern belle? >> it's southern dresses, four football games. -- no sweatpants? >> no, she would never go out in public and sweatpants. never. >> tony did have one flaw when it came to being a bell. >> when i first got to college, she felt i was a bit too skinny, and need to bulk up a little bit. so she said she would come over and cook some fried chicken. >> mississippi is the place to be for that. >> mississippi, and every southern lady would be able to cook southern fried chicken. little did you know, when you took it out of the freezer, you would have to let it thaw. >> frozen fried chicken aside, tony was someone who set goals and made them happen. after college she went to medical school, and in 1988, graduated in the top 10% of her class. then she settled into a new practice and new marriage with a young dentist. but the women who could do it all c

i wanted to be toni morrison when i grew up. i did not know how to do that.y parents at sacrificed a lot financially for me to go to the school. i didn't want to be a disappointment. i got a job in advertising for a little bit. i read an article that said it was harder to get into the film school than the harvard law school. my parents can't thought that because it is graduate school. i applied to usc film school and i got in and i went. i told them i can teach. as professors, they said well, she can teach. it felt like something real for them. david: you a masters at usc. you are writing on the side of it in the daytime or how are you doing that? >> i got a job at a place that help mentally ill find jobs and live there and i would write my scripts at night. i had an agent or a lawyer at the time that everybody got out of film school that someone would hope would happening for them. isil description that changed my life. -- i sold a script. i remember a month before that script sold, i applied for the post baccalaureate at medical school. i thought i couldn't

we enlisted a pulitzer prize-winning journalist, an emmy-nominated filmmaker, and tony-nominated producer. a man who grewcame to america as a child, and is now a leading voice for human rights for immigrants. he's the author of "dear america: notes of an undocumented citizen." jose antonio vargas: i was doing an event in wilmington, north carolina. and after this event, i was talking to everybody. and this woman, elderly black woman, approaches me and she said, 'mr. vargas,' i said, 'yes, ma'am.' and she had this bag, and she pulled this piece of paper from her bag. it's really old and crumpled. and she said, 'mr. vargas, my great, great, great grandmother gave me this piece of paper.' it was a bill of sale. she was a slave, her great great grandmother, a great, great, great grandmother. and she said, 'can you tell me the difference between this piece of paper that she got and the pieces of papers that you and your people can't seem to get? this is bigger than pieces of papers, mr. vargas.' she said, "think bigger." and she's right. when i think back to that moment, i think back to the fact that the hist

real tension around that tour, particularly because the captain of england, who actually grew up in south africa, tony as a team, the west indies team, grovel. now, that was an explosive word. did you feel an undercurrent of racism? i personally did, and i know a lot of the teams certainly did as well. tony greig being south african, because that's the way we looked at him — he was a south african playing for england because south africa was not allowed to play. and with the apartheid regime in full force, for him to say something like that and to use that particularword, stephen, it upset a great deal of us. until i met tony greig, i hated him. when world series cricket started in 1977, he was the one going around recruiting people. i had left cricket. i was at university. and when clive lloyd told me that tony greig was coming on this world series thing, i said, "tony greig?" i didn't want to see tony greig. when i got to meet the man, i recognised that tony greig was not racist. tony greig was brought up in a society that made him think certain things without him actually knowing that what he was t

tony blair was in number 10 downing street. they had big plans to end poverty and start tackling climate change. hopefully -- both were hugely popular with voters but as her power grew, blair was replaced by his nemesis, gordon brown. he was a very serious man, not unlike the chancellor. >> we now need to come together with heightened cooperation. reporter: while germans appreciated sobriety, brown was soon headed for defeat at the polls. merkel flew in to provide some support but she did not meet her fellow conservative, david cameron. brown lost the election. the new prime minister wooed the chancellor with stuff diplomacy -- with soft diplomacy. the visitor was shown proof of the british love of german cars. but cameron's friendly overtures were undermined by his plan to hold a referendum on leaving the eu. merkel herself was briefly at the center of that debate and she addressed the mother of parliaments. >> we need a strong united kingdom, with a strong voice inside the european union. if we have that, we will be able to make the necessary changes for the benefit of all. reporter: but her appeals fell on deaf ears. the u.k. voted to leave the eu. brags it also
