the unequal application of marijuana laws has created a justice system that are more dependent on race and class then upon guilt orr innocence. in privilege communities all across this country marijuana is used with little fear of consequences and joked about with little understanding of the painful facts it has scarcely affected their lives but the war on drugs because of that unequal application of the law is affecting people in other communities. i have seen this personally. i went to stanford and yale watching drug use there is no fbi investigation or sting operations to go after the privileged in this country. people in thiss body openly admit to using marijuana with no consequence. but if you are poor or vulnerable in the united states of america, they are coming after you. and there are consequences. i have had countless conversationsru with elected officials because it is outrageous to me this they could do the drug rules while poor people of color suffer as a result. the factsna are clear the disproportionate enforcement of law has created a massive injustice in our country it

but adams always knew it was unequal. from the number of letters he received. he always knew he would never have the acclaim from his fellow americans as jefferson had and that jefferson would continue to have. adams told us what we needed to know was a truth about herself a difficult if not impossible to bear. but however true those statements no matter how they were they were incapable of aspiring to sustain the united states or any nation. doubting if america could even be a real nation. nothing like the romans or the dutch or the french. all he saw was the appalling diversity of religious denominations and ethnicities. in 1813 he countered 19 different religious in america. with english and irish jet that will to do a name to the country. by contrast jefferson's ideas could and did inspire those diverse people of the united states. he offered fellow americans a set of beliefs that has carried us and our country through our ordeals. the most prominent journalist of the early 19th century knew the importance of jefferson and wanted to help establish a nationa

she resigned her post as china editor in protest at unequal pay. mps, she accused the bbc of institutionalised discrimination, when it had paid her less than other international editors. we knew there was inequality. we didn't know the details, because the bbc is extremely secretive on pay, but we knew we were underpaid. and i was determined, at this point, when i knew i'd give the china job every last ounce of my skill and stamina, i knew i would do that job at least as well as any man. the corporation's dealing with her grievance was, she said, insultingly shambolic, and she added that she would be declining nearly £100,000 in back pay. i have said i don't want that money. that's not what it's about for me. i feel my salary‘s a good salary, its public money, i... that's not what it was about. they're still not giving me a quality. and, in a concerted attack against bbc management, she said that for years it had created a fortress to keep out ordinary staff. i was so distraught by what had happened. anyway... then i thought, "no, i have to fight."

it follows carrie gracie's resignation as china editor, in protest at the unequal pay between male anda correspondent david sillito. arriving at work this morning wasjeremy vine, one of the bbc‘s highest—paid presenters. however, he has now agreed that his pay, more than £700,000, should be cut. i think it all needs to be sorted out. and i support my female colleagues who have rightly said that they should be paid the same when they are doing the same job. it is just a no—brainer. so it wasn't a problem for me to accept one. it is all part of the fallout from this, the moment the bbc was forced to reveal the pay of its highest—paid presenters. and it is not the end of it. a bbc review of star pay is due out in the next few days, along with a face—to—face meeting with mp5. a 15—year—old has been detained for more than four years — after five passengers of the stolen car he was driving in leeds, were killed. the teenager, who can't be named, admitted five counts of causing death by dangerous driving. leeds crown court heard the car was travelling at 88 miles per hour when it hit a tree.

an economy wracked by unfairness and unequality was made even more unfair, more unequal by the republicanajority, which almost delighted in revoking consumer protections to help big business, install the pro-corporate supreme court, drove up health care premiums and passed a tax bill dramatically skewed to the benefit of big corporations and the very wealthy. all in all, 2017 was a great year for wealthy republican donors but a lost year for the middle class and the working men and women of this country. we democrats hope this year is different, focused on the middle class rather than the rich and powerful, focused on helping them in the ways we have done in the last decades, both democratic and republican presidents, rather than this trickle down which benefits the few at the top and very few -- and does not benefit the very many in the middle. these first few weeks, mr. president, we have a chance to start off on the right foot. we have two weeks to negotiate a budget deal that also must address a host of other issues, including chip, community health centers, disaster aid, and of cours

have the women making claims against the bbc on the grounds of unequal pay been allowed to pick their them? they have been allowed to do that, that is how it works. something that came up earlier which i asked carrie about was in her grievance report. the same report said a person had been inadvertently underpaid for the same time, the report says it was because she was in development. could you explain why the same grievance report would say someone had been mistakenly underpaid and tried to explain away by saying they are in development. as i understand it the grievance report is recommending that, it reaches the conclusion that carrie's pay should have been reviewed sooner certainly when jon sopel was appointed that was an opportunity. it is not my report but my understanding of development is this was a new role but was established and as a result was appropriate to review the pay at that point in the cycle which is much earlier. i think we'll all agree that pepe should have been reviewed and one reason for that was asi reviewed and one reason for that was as i understand it, i'm

perhaps for the private sector and you look at others where this isn't the case and you have a more unequal society there isn't any direct link that tells you that one grows less fast than the other certainly if you look at the short to medium term but if you keep this inequalities going for a long period of time what you get is huge disruption and dissatisfaction in the country and therefore you get fewer people wanting to invest and lower growth so there are long term negative impacts of having that inequality remain and what is more you then get people moving out of the country perhaps particularly those who can afford to go elsewhere and you rub the talent from the countries you're leaving behind with less productivity and less growth and also then your century the problem for the rest because of huge migration flows that we're seeing right now so afraid what miss happen is it's a two pronged thing first of all to see whether there is some money that can be transferred in either protection perhaps some of the very wealthy but also the western countries paying more into the developing wo
