message and also —— as a sort of unifying message in a country that is divided.60s. so in a way, they can turn the page on him and tried to present him as unifying figure. remember, most people in thailand have never seen a coronation before. given that it was 70 years ago that the previous one happened. so i guess in some sense there is a spectacle to it, for the thai people, but what is the role of the monarchy itself in thai society? good question. the monarch is supposed to be above politics, a kind of unifying figure as well as the head of state, continuing the line of the diversity, in which he is the 10th. —— dynasty. by some accou nts is the 10th. —— dynasty. by some accounts this king has been more involved in politics, even though he has actually been more involved in politics than his immediate predecessor. and it is a question of whether he is going to continue to act in that way or not. an open question. in terms of internationally, how significant is this ceremony for world leaders and for people who watch thailand? for people who watch thailand it

are things that unify all british people, regardless of whether they're derived from people who cameest indians who came in the 1940s. i am intrigued by the degree to which you have made a very conscious effort to look at societies across the piece, from the most developed, the united states, western europe, to what some would regard as much more traditional societies, in new guinea, a place you know very well. your critics have said that, despite your best efforts not to be sort ofjudgemental, you have brought a western mindset, a notion of progress, a notion of where humanity is and should be going, to your work. do you think you have? no. as for a notion of progress, notion of technological progress, ask my 32—year—old sons what they think of their father's view of technological progress. it will be quite negative. the issues that humanity faces today are issues of getting onto a sustainable economy, of dealing with climate change. they're not issues of so—called progress. there is in fact a saying in a textbook of economics written by an economist. in a world of finite resources,

oakland unified alameda unified that our not top tier.nd showed that day had taken quite a few snaps or at least have reported that they've taken quite a few steps in terms of supporting their lgbtq students and i think there's a lesson there which is that any school district regardless of where they are and the state regardless of. communities they serve. any school district can be an lgbtq inclusive school the shirt. it takes the well and it takes the support of the community to hold those districts accountable and work with them to make sure that all students including those for lgbtq are being s-rved in a good way. an interview aired first and in its entirety on kron on the. >>only commercial free 24 7 news service in the bay area. you can visnt kron on dot tv to sign up. >>we're following some breaking news tonight out of the east bay where there has been a 4th shooting in richmond in just 2 days. the latest shooting happened about 5 o'clock this evening on chance or avenue. police have the area blocked off from 16th street to 19 str

history and memory of the second world war can be used to unify and it also can be used to divide in the in the case of ukraine it is creating divisions and in a way and i think in a very. poorly thought out way is creating an solidifying a national identity around an ideology was close to if not fascistic the whole point of the great effort during the second world war or yes the whole issue of victory and defeat gets developed in people's minds in a particular way and they forget the ideas and their ideology and they remember humiliation they want national pride national reassertion and they look to whoever looks like they're going to promise it and as we know one of the great selling points if you like the u.s.p. of fascism is it says it will make you great again and that usually is not a zero you know it's a zero sum game if we're great people have to be less great and that can. trump has that worked a lot of other considerations and is a basic common denominator that will appeal to people particularly if you have the radical center that is in a freefall ok it opens the door to th

you know you know so you had this expansion of the you had this expansion that efforts to actually unify the count of the continent so that was the moment of unity but of course it was at the expense of russia and what should have happened in the nine hundred ninety s. but didn't we're paying the price now is the show you're russia should have been integrated into that unifying moment you said it was kept a distance not you treated treated very badly it was really it was really interesting doing the there in the cold war they had this concept of captive nations. under communism and i got myself into a huge huge trouble for saying but russia was a captive nation as well that really disturbed people ok because what i'm what i'm saying is that that was an ideological conflict it wasn't with the people yes yes that's right. it's interesting since we talk about remembering the second world war the way to remember walking you through the. for this in that there are all those who argue that the lessons of the wall was worked together it was unification and the only why of freeing everybody is d

collapse so this is not necessarily a good thing for russia because russia tends to be a bit of a unifier if things go wrong we can always point to russia and unity against our common other serious i guess the incentive not to talk up the russian threat as we have this disunity in the west i think it doesn't work jeff it isn't work i don't see that it works ok just. think there was a moment of unity in europe when that moment was off the collapse of the soviet union collapsed communism grow in the immediate post soviet post cold war era ninety's when you have to magically translate into hostility towards russia about just dust all point you know you know so you had this expansion of the you had this expansion ninety good efforts to actually unify the count of the continent so that was the moment of unity but of course it was at the expense of russia and what should have happened in ninety nine she didn't we're paying the price now is the shit you're russia should have been integrated into that unifying moment you said it was kept a distance not you treated treated very badly it was really

what is lacking in the united states today is a leader who focuses on unifying us rather than dividingritain today is a leader who will deal honestly with the issue of britain's identity. if remaining separate from europe is so important that you are willing to make economic sacrifices, fine, but be frank about the economic sacrifices. in the case of the united states, what we need is a leader who, instead of dividing us, talks about the things that unify americans, and of which americans can be proud. what about inequality in all this? because you talk... i lead you to talk about the role of the internet and changes in communication over the years, through technology. but what about the corrosive impact of what many studies suggest is widening inequality in developed industrialised societies? that's true, and it even something that i discussed in my book, when i discussed in my book, when i discussed problems of the united states, one of the four biggest problems i see is inequality. in particular, the increasing socio—economic inequality and the decline in socio—economic mobility. th

and then, that would be the start of what unified calls early college high school. so students would get their high school diploma and get most of their ge college requirements done when they graduate high school. so we're working on that one. >> what are your hopes for that to be done? >> we hope we come to an agreement with puc and this is -- we hope that we come to an agreement with the puc in 2019 and then again, we hope for the facility's bond, vote yes. and we hope. and then you have some construction time. >> well, that means a lot to me, because i mentioned to you early, my father went to a high school in pas pasadena and in hh school, he was getting a college experience and able to take some courses and that lead him to be able to envision himself in college when none of his family members had ever been to college and he eventually became a professor. so i'm excited about those partnerships, but i think those are opportunities for students to see themselves in places they may not normally see themselves. >> that's right. >> so thank you. >> thank you. >> tr

a unified strategy here or is the republican party really just making up as it goes along. i think that's an interesting assessment there and the making it up as you go along because it does seem that this administration tends to do that in many ways and now in foreign policy in which we've been unified for a very long time whether you look at whichever party is in power the united states likes to show a very composed organized deliberate front when it when confronting regimes like the one in iran so this is unusual but i have to say as you heard me talk about on your program before here i am i'm not exactly the biggest fan of this president's strategy his approach the way in which he speaks about certain leaders in the world where i don't find to be leaders however i think that we would have been best served by donald trump continuing to go about it in a way which he wanted however when he surat decided to surat itself with war hawks people like john bolton there was no other strategy of john bolton's mind he wants war and i think it's a very scary proposition at this mome

the santa clara unified school district is paying 40%, west valley mission community college pain 11% and so on. eric until frames the ongoing loss in terms of laptops for the 15,000 kids. >> to make an analogy to and a half million dollar loss is about what we spent on chrome books for students this year about equal what we lost from the 49ers it is merely disappointing that we have to adjust our revenue projections and have less to spend toward the education of our amazing student. >> in santa clara, kiet do. >>> santa clara of the county to do a reassessment of the appeal if the county prevails the 49ers might have to pay some or all of that money. we have reached out to the 49ers for comment but so far no response. >>> sfpd trying to justify its raid on freelance journalist. the police chief calling it a conspiracy probe. >>> looks like the middle of winter in may. the unusual spring in squaw valley. >> i am here in town playing the punchline actually still tickets available.

. >> congressman ted lieu saying it's unifying the caucus, the talk of impeachment in light of this noncompliance of the administration. guys. >> that's interesting. an example of the members perhaps overruling the leadership on that question. >> yeah. it's a great point. we, of course, manu gets the important interview right there. we appreciate it very much. >> we have laura jarrett, just before we go, because i want to get your reaction to what the members of the judiciary committee and the broader democratic caucus seem to be threatening. how does the justice department respond? >> if i heard nadler correctly, he said we're not afraid to use our inherent contempt authority. i take that to mean using a sergeant in arms to get the attorney general. we're a long way away from that. they haven't even subpoenaed him to appear yet, but it's quite a threat to make, i think, at this stage, especially when it's really about form over

we are stronger in the negotiations against china if we're unified on usmca. we need to get this done from an economic standpoint for the deal itself, it makes sense the usmca deal. it makes us stronger against a horrible factor on the international stage. that is china. stuart: am i right in saying, when this usmca is presented to

the whole libya so he cannot unify libya because 1st of all he is a dictator. and he is not welcomed libyans they would like to see a country which is democratic that is a civil we are tolerant of the group by a military dictator whose we have been gone through no 4450 almost 50 years of this so the libyans they would like to see a civil government a missing that is the g.n.a.t. is the perfect government for that but they would like to see a civil government they would like to see real participation they would like to see a real. mix change of power so it's peacefully and so other friends have total did not win the south and the south right now is but as it was when it is in chaos and when also when he was in the south he could to his his forces cope with a lot of war crimes against civilians in the south so so have to 1st of all if you look at the so-called libyan national army after it is made of few small groups of freo army people but they're just out of militias who they call them a new son of the with me the supporters so he is not kidnapping of doing tha

we tend to talk about the iranian leadership, but of course, there is no unified leadership, is thereof impact does all this have on iran, would you say? there is no unified leadership, as in, there are moderates in the iranian political structure, there are hardliners, but on the specific topic as far as military conflict with the us, there seems to be one voice coming from tehran and that is the voice of not wanting a war and not wanting this military conflict. the top hardliner, the supreme leader in iran, seems to be clear that he does not want a war and that the president and his, basically the administration, the elected body of the government also has signalled that they don't want a conflict. they don't want this fight with the us. of course, because the iranians are not going to win a fight with the us army, but at the same time we have the hardliner as the supreme leader. and even the president talking more of a hardline rhetoric saying that they're not going to negotiate with washington, with president trump, and that's going to complicate things, because president trump's

that also put the bed this chaos of the braves in and also look beyond previous into how they can unify your group as a whole we see many fracturing throughout europe not only with the u.k. but also other parts of the you they need to be put together we have the balkan nations so we can to join the e.u. such as not being in kosovo and serbia so there's many issues upon for rates that the new commission need to come in and unify the countries for his role so a lot to do. politicians winning awards for doing that job is always going to split opinion isn't it depending on which side of the fanshawe what you think about what that particular politician stands for but the failures are always amplified over their achievements let's be honest and how much of these awards really should be down to what the public think of these politicians and their track record or whether it should be they need rewarding to hold but at least getting that feedback like the rest of us do in our jobs i think rewards when that issue is something that isn't too popular i don't really look at what has awards being som

i am have a unified platform on a few issues? lam not have a unified platform on a few issues?w issues. one of the point salvini makes is that countries should be able to decide what issues themselves, whether it is budgets or immigration or whatever it might be, and actually they are not the only ones making that point. absolutely not, that is a tendency we are seeing in the european union from the populace to the liberals. macron himself is quite keen in repatriating some powers to the member states though he doesn't say so openly. i thought he was the big integrationist? yes, that is what we all thought, but we realise he is calling for more power, because he isa calling for more power, because he is a liberal at the end of the day, right? so rebels want to have more powers for member states as well, so i think that will be a recurrent question in the european union in the years to come, the tension between those who want more integration and those in the centre states. with regard to the jobs that get handed out here in brussels, is there a possibility that mr salvini or on
