much of the union army is sick. nearly 2000 guys have been diagnosed with typhoid fever, which could prove to be fatal. more than 5000 diagnosed with malaria, which does not necessarily prove to be fatal, but it does weaken you. and the most telling statistic, over 20,000 men in the union army are incapacitated by diarrhea. and so the peninsula campaign that brings the northern soldiers to the eastern peninsula of virginia to try to capture richmond, like i said it is probably the unhealthiest spot in the confederacy to try to attack. maybe not, maybe the mississippi delta can challenge that or maybe in louisiana, but the peninsula of eastern virginia is not a very healthy place, especially when it rains. that is what happened to mcclellan and his army in 62. but he is able to march his way toward richmond with all these handicaps, get to the outskirts of the city by late may of 1862. and then something happens to completely sort of, not change the fortunes of the confederacy necessarily, but give the confederacy in

. >> guest: i could say that it preserve the union, yes at that time. there were other compromises that preserve the union, the compromise of 1820 for example. the compromise that was maybe to the founding fathers when they came to write the u.s. constitution. all of these compromises over slaver were integral to keeping america together as a country, the northern and southern sections. it was something that northerners who are antislavery do not like, it was something that southerners who are proslavery did not like. but, in order for the country to maintain its stability, integrity, that comprise had to be made. we would find in the 1850s all of the compromises ever made including the one in 1850 did not work. the republican party was born in the wake of the controversy over the compromise of 1850 and that nebraska compromis controversy . all these things led one after another, is quite a decade. >> host: someone say that this delay the inevitable, rather than save the union. >> guest: we would say that if we are looking back as people who live in the

that's the basis for the union. do you remember the classic line where lincoln is disgusted, "i can't by generals realize that it is all our territory?" -- why can't my generals realize that it is all our territory?" >> you mentioned out of the four confederates who held up he train, only two of them were captured. you briefly mentioned the other two work paroled. why were they not rought up on these charges later or executed? >> there's actually no trial. there's no court-martial. nothing happens. the men that re captured are taken back across the mountain and executed that evening. in fact, they called for a chaplain of the chaplain does not even get there in time. the father, george summers, arrived that evening to claim his sun's body. the other two managed to escape. they had gotten word -- they literally managed to escape with their homes and had gotten word the union cavalry was on its way and made for the hills. >> did the local community protect them -- the local >> did the local community protect them -- t

init came into the union 1820. if you can see the map, the , anduri river flows west the population density is shown. slavery followed the reverse. peopleulation of white wasalso slaved people densest near the rivers. was not one of the states in which slavery was most pronounced. only about 12% of the population was enslaved in 1850. still, it played an important part in the state economy. the economy and the population are concentrated in the slaveholding counties. also, the state political leaders were slaveholders from the missouri river county especially. is another fact to remember that slaves were the second-most valuable form of property. those human beings who were held in bondage. so it was very much essential to the state's economy. i will give you some of the details from jesse james's on family and a minute. civility, inouri disruptedcal life was by the kansas-nebraska act. at this time missouri was not it frontier state. especially in the missouri river counties, it was every much a settled,rosperous

he represented the whole union. where as when he was post-president and a representative of massachusetts, he is free from inhibitions that might have resulted from representing the slave-holding states and he can speak his piece. did he ever addressed that? -- address that? a greatn: that is question, because there is a certain freedom that comes, but i like the way david put it. in that scenario, it was never simple for him. one of the things that struck us waiting through the diary -- through theading diary is how long it took him, even once he represented massachusetts, to embrace that as his cause. if he had his way, he would probably be talking about tariffs all the time and railroads at a national university. he made sure he got onto those committees that dealt with that kind of thing, and so there is a degree to which it is freeing to be a rep. dent: of a massachusetts as opposed to the whole union, that it could never -- representative of massachusetts as opposed to the -- was not, that it just in national

in philadelphia, there are 26 union members not in schools but working in the union office. we're finding similar stories across the state, including here in allentown. despite more than 100 teacher layoffs since 2000, the district paid more than $1 million to the teachers union president not to work in a classroom but instead to work in the union office. the representative's bill would limit how many union employees can leave the classroom to work for their union. >> if it comes to a floor vote, it will pass. who could be against it? >> reporter: for one, the unions, including so-called philadelphia ghost teacher and union president jerry jordan. >> it's not a problem for students. >> reporter: in a june memo, he called the legislation nonsense cal and says it's based on the false member is educators are out of the classroom at the expense of children and taxpayers. representative calls his bill common sense. when asked if he is trying to union bust, he told us -- >> i'm not against unions. >> reporter: nbc 10 news. >>> what if you could finally hang up on all those annoyin

there should be unionization. afl-cio union should represent factory workers. they should be a public discussion of what is going to happen if we don't bring back manufacturing. i think of it this way. we can live through it in our generation and our children probably can live through it, and i'm not sure about my granddaughter who is here, but we're going to get to the point where right now we buy stuff from china. we pay china in dollars. china takes the dollars and invests them in treasuries, u.s. treasuries and securities, and we then take the dollars that invest and go back and buy stuff from china. at some point, i'm using china, asia, at some point there's going to be, the chinese are going to say no, there's going to be a shift from the dollar as the international currency to something else a is the international currency and that of course happen between world war i and world war ii with the pound, the british pound and the u.s. dollar. when that shift takes place, what are we going to do? we can't pay, we can't import with dollars as easily as we coul

we leave the european union we will be living there as well. will be looking to put in place a similar relationship just as other countries around the world that are not members of the eu have access to the movement of scientists and materials and founders that produce -. we recognize the importance of this that his wife and built was in the queen speech in relation to this. >> sir edward lee. >> as my honorable friend is not open to ideas for men that tried to remove her from my face. maybe she'll be willing to take an idea from a friend. [inaudible] >> and wanted to stay in office. >> the animal judgment should calm himself. i would like to hear what the honorable member has to say. >> however, this idea? we have words on helping italy over migration but as long as it is forced to take the refugees, obviously more and more will come. will my honorable friend work with our allies to try and establish safe havens in libya so that people can be returned safely to libya? that is a concern. >> had to say to my honorable friend and not only is that

we could just try and stay in that eu customs union.t not free movement of people. eu trade laws would still apply, which would prevent the uk signing its own trade deals with other countries. brexit is up there as one of the most dramatic european stories i've ever covered. the economics, the politics, and the effect it can have on all our lives. it's a real ripping up of the history books. brussels hosted the first day of negotiations between the eu and brexit britain just last week. in all the years i've lived and worked across europe, no—one here saw this day coming. after 12 months since we had the eu referendum, only now the face—to—face talks started between the uk and the eu. and the eu still has no idea what the uk wants. we must first tackle the uncertainties caused by brexit. we will do all that we can to ensure that we deliver a deal that works in the best interests of all citizens. in order to make an informed guess as to where these negotiations might end, you first have to understand why the eu feels as it does about the

unions are very heavily service oriented or teacher unions. those are the ones that have survived and we haven't done anything about that. [inaudible question] >> a lot of communities will one those jobs, so how will we decide how we told them out. are there any prospects of raising wages in the service sector? >> well, if we have a national industrial policy that would be an endless political discussion of who gets factories, where they go and then there will be that question of the service sector. they should be represented also, but for a different reason, but the national industrial policy first has to be-- that has to be set first. that has to be the first order of business, i think. that should be the pacesetter in salaries even for the service sector, i mean, that's just sort of a simple answer to it. maybe you want to add something. [inaudible question] >> places where trump one, not in the cities, but the places he won, smaller towns, one in for private sector jobs right now is a manufacturing job, so preserving manufacturing is still

we reached out to allen town's union president, but she declined comment. >> the union president was quite surprised. i don't think they were aware of it. >> john freud is the school district's lawyer t scott armstrong scold him in union level was legal. he wrote this legal opinion, saying in part union leave may be in violation of the pennsylvania constitution. freuden says school districts agreed to it, because it avoids a strike, but it's never been challenged in court until now. this politics turned painter is one of the plaintiffs. >> i'm all for public service unions. my own gripe is they should be paying their own bills. >> for the investigators, i'm mitch blacher, nbc so news. >>> this isn't unique to pennsylvania teachers. teachers in new jersey also get it, and in california state employees can work for their union while collecting a public salary. >>> coming up at 6:00, or investigation looks at what the pennsylvania lawsuits could mean for our teachers' pensions tonight at 11:00, what the plan is to stop ghost teaching. >>> a camden county man will stand trial for the sec

this isn't a european union initiative. this is something that has been led by chancellor merkel at the g-20 and the united kingdom is playing its role. principles we have been using in our systems and giving development aid to these countries in africa already and we have a compaq with ethiopia which the united kingdom has put forward, which will create 100,000 jobs, including among those jobs jobs for refugees. by what weave shown are doing a commitment to these issues already. he talked about the issue of terrorist financing. what we discussed is that we are looking across the board all aspects of terrorist financing. that means as we look at the change and nature of terrorism that we don't just look at large-scale financing, we also look at the small funding. they are harder to trace and harder to identify but we can potentially undermined attacks that take place. that is where the communique clearly what a focus and that is a new initiative that has been taken. he talks about global slavery. i think it is important to

the union high command, and we just heard a great deal about, they saw things differently. we will go back to major winfield and cott hancock, who is in charge of the middle military division. the map you see is representing the valley. he is in charge of a much bigger area. his headquarters is in winchester in april 1865. from is headquarters, hancock writes the secretary stanton. he asks what he is supposed to do. should he extend the same terms? in fact, he gets orders from stanton on april 10 to circulate the correspondence, the famous correspondence that had gone back and forth between grant and lee, he is asked to print it and post it all over winchester. and that is over here in special collections. hancock was to offer the same terms that grants had offered lee's men. he prints in the newspaper columns, with the newspapers still in circulation, he posts these up and down the valley. i will review that. "all detachments and stragglers from the army of northern virginia, with the exception of theguerrilla mosby, would be paroled under the same conditions at appomattox

they all commemorate the union side. the greatest public statue in the city is on 5th avenue and 59th street. it's general sherman. he is marching through georgia being led by victory. there's an almost equally fine statue in madison square park of admiral faragut. he is sailing into mobile bay. lincoln kicked off his first presidential campaign and cooper union. when he was murdered, he was mourned by brooklyn's greatest poet walt whitman. i was married in the union lee club. in their lovely library. so what's the problem? this is the unified city of the union, right? >> that's what was so shocking about the behavior of new yorkers before and during the outbreak of the war was that here was a city within the limits of the so-called loyal states which was actually a hot bed of -- as john puts it, it was a city of sadition. it's a complex history. you can go back to the revolution and think about new york's geography as its destiny. john adams said new york is the nexus of the northern and southern colonies. it's at the c

the radiation was coming from 750 miles away at chernobyl in the soviet union.nnouncement picked up from radio moscow. >> they report an accident at the chernobyl nuclear power plant in the ukraine. >> the instinctive reaction of the soviet bureaucracy was to deny that anything had really happened. as a result of which, people tied not only were ordinary soviets not getting the truth about chernobyl, the top leaders were not getting the truth. gorbachev discovered that he was also in the dark as the soviet leader. >> soviet news casters deliberately played down the incident, reporting it after the latest five-year plan and crop report. eight or nine minutes into the news, an announcer said that only two people had been killed in the incident, contradicting one news report that casualties numbered in the thousands. >> chernobyl wasn't a flash in the pan. every few weeks there would be something like chernobyl because of structural defects of the soviet system. >> officials say because it took place at the newest reactor, it is another indication of the inferiorit

they all commemorate the union side. the greatest statue is on for the night street, general sherman, he is marching through georgia, led by victory. there is an almost equally fine statue in madison square park. admiral farragut. lincoln kicked off his first presidential campaign at cooper union and after he was murdered, he was warned by kirkland's greatest poet -- brooklyn's greatest poet, what women. and on a personal note -- i was married in the union lee club in their lovely library. so what's the problem? this is the unified city of the union, right? >> that is what is so shocking about the behavior of new yorkers before and during the outbreak of the war. here in the city, during the limits of the so-called "loyal state" we had a hotbed -- as john puts it, "a city of sedition." and it is a complex history here it you go back to the revolution and think about new york's geography is destiny. john adams says new york is the nexus of the northern and southern colony. physically, it was great for shipping, for commer

so when we do leave the european union, where is our next meal coming from?negotiations have just begun, but the uk's divorce bill has to be agreed before we start to talk about trade. food and farming, which together make britain's biggest manufacturing sector by far, are ripe for discussion. so, i'm cooking up a traditional british lunch. smells good. i've invited guy smith of the national farmers' union, food and farming campaigner vicki hird and james cleverly mp, a brexiteer and trade committee member in the last parliament. what are their vital ingredients for a healthy exit from the european union? do you think this administration really values farming? any civilised country has to ask itself, do we want to become recklessly dependent on imports for ourfood needs? and i accept that is a political question, there is no easy answer to that. but i think that's the question that we have confronting us at this moment in time. what do you think, vicki, do you think this is a kind of fork in the road moment? it is a fork in the road. we're demanding a massive

union state. to give examples of the southern economic ties, they also discussed the cause and effect in 1863.ty draft riots the new york historical society hosted this event. it's about an hour. >> good evening, everyone. welcome to the new york historical society. i am the vice president for programs. invite you to our spectacular auditorium. the battle for new york, rioting , tammany and terrorism. we always want to thank mr. swartz for his support, which has enabled us to invite so many prominent authors. i also would like to thank all of the chairman's councilmembers here tonight for their great work and support. let's give them all i hand. program will last an hour and include a question and answer session. the q and a will be conducted with written questions on note cards. you should have received a note card in pencil as you enter the auditorium, but we'll also have staff members circulating through. just raise your hands if you want a card. they will be collecting them a little later in t

almost the opposite in the soviet union. they did nothing for it. the air and water and soil pollution especially in the vicinity where industry was heavy, of course, were terrible and i'll close -- almost close with one example that i think exemplifies this and that's the llc. i don't know how many folks know about what happened totter ol sea and at one point it was the fourth largest lake in the world. he wanted to develop cotton farming in kazakhstan which is where it is and it was part of the soviet union at that time. so to do that he needed irrigation, so he diverted rivers that flowed into the sea to support the irrigation. 20 years later the sea for all intents and purposes was vanished. it was gone. nothing left at all and just a big, biggen plain that had its own very serious impact on then viern the point, in the area. thoortsz how the ind yan -- and there's one way to answer the question and that's to compare east germany and west germany in 1989 when the wall came down and the unification took place. on the one hand, you had a system th

with regards to those unions, french unions are famous the world over for being tough negotiators. work with the president? we have, but at the same time, they have already fixed a date for the first demonstration, september 12. so, here date for the first demonstration, september12. so, here you date for the first demonstration, september 12. so, here you are. date for the first demonstration, september12. so, here you are. it is strange, because as you say, french trade unions are famously known for being very theatrical and violence. on the other hand, only 8% of french workers belong to a union. they are extremely powerful in the public sector. hence, the inability to pa ralyse public sector. hence, the inability to paralyse the country. thank you, agnes. qatar has given its response to the long list of demands made by its neighbours. iam sure i am sure you have followed the story. saudi arabia, egypt, the united arab emirates, yemen and bahrain says qatar must stop funding for extremist groups — something qatar denies. scaling back ties with iran and closing al jazeera. and if

had been unionized at all. there are ways to do that, but that is why i am trying to hammer at us for 1909-1911. it leaves a lot of people out. adrienne sosin: they actually try to use black women as strike breakers in 1909. i was looking in some of the books, i saw it recently. there was a woman who was one of the founders of the naacp who urged the black women not to allow themselves to be used as strike breakers. dr. trasciatti: even then, even that to me is a little disturbing because it becomes -- , they almost broke our strike. but we talk sense -- that is not a personal -- but it began a a problemis again with 1909-1911. if your role in 1909 was possibly a strikebreaker, that marginalizes you in the story. so i think again for me, the , answer is moving beyond 1909-1911. it opens it up to intersection alley. rose: i just had a thought, a little riff off of what you are saying. when i went to see occupy wall street take to task the labor movement about not being creative enough they said you , have to thr

the big free trade agreement between the us and union... exactly.way, it was one of the reasons why the leader vote wanted to leave the european union because they were concerned it could lead to a big trans— concerned it could lead to a big tra ns— atlantic concerned it could lead to a big trans— atlantic agreement with the us and concerns on issues around health and pharmaceuticals. even with the uk outside the eu, one of the things the uk will need to do is what its future agricultural policy will be and if it is similar to the current eu policy, then agriculture will also be a problematic issue. britain is slightly on the back foot given it has not negotiated its trade deals for a0 years, the us is far more experienced and we know president trump is driving to that the best possible deal for america. the uk bad deal simply from being out of practice? the us has pulled out of practice? the us has pulled out of practice? the us has pulled out of the transpacific deal, that is not going ahead and it was a huge deal. he's talking about we negotiate

agreement with the european union.al london is the australian high commissioner to the uk, alexander downer. the prime minister was saying we move quickly, we do not muck around, we will move as quickly as possible. how quickly do you think that means there could be an agreement? we cannot conclude an agreement and to the uk has left the european union, but in the meantime we have set up a working group. it has had its first meeting and we will be looking to have further meetings of that working group to discuss the scope ofa working group to discuss the scope of a free—trade agreement before the point of departure. after the point of departure, provided britain does not want to put in place too many restrictions on trade, we really do meana restrictions on trade, we really do mean a free—trade agreement means free—trade and it should not take too long at all. we have a lot of experience of the source of agreements and it depends. some of them we have concluded very quickly. is that the approach you are using in the eu

it was a union led procession. the women fought for this for the unidentified victims, originally seven of them. 100,000 people marched slowly in the rain with empty caskets, no banners save for "we mourn our loss," no slogans, no songs. an estimated 400,000 participants marching silently, others watching them, and during the reign. for those who participated, it must have been a powerful communal experience, a somatic experience, feeling the rain, hearing the silence, watching the hearses go by. these images are haunting. marching for triangle continued. suffrage workers invited triangle workers to margin their parades. the mayday parade became the ritual of marching past the triangle building. they would be loud and rowdy. they got to triangle, silence. so revered, so sanctified was this spot. the coalition honored these rituals. we marched with shirtwaists. the intention was to invoke the spirit of the ancestors. they do haunt us. they look like the garments made and worn by triangle workers. but they are empty

relations with the european union are relations with the european union a re pretty relations with thety much at an all—time low between turkey and the eu, in particular germany. what exactly is the problem between you and chancellor angela merkel? do you personally believe that turkey is better in or out of the european union? what is your personal opinion? mr president, it sounds like you are saying you personally believe turkey would be better out of the eu. or, not... what about the united kingdom? because the foreign secretary boris johnson of course has turkish a ncestry johnson of course has turkish ancestry and he wrote very rude: about you. has he apologised about that and has that incident in any way damaged uk— turkish ties? no, iwasjust...! no, i wasjust...! i wasjust asking if he perhaps apologised to you for having a schleck did he apologise? talking about the united kingdom of course, post— brexit, your prime minister has said in talks that he had with theresa may, the british prime minister, in february but after britain leads the united union any bilateral deal, trade

union. host: can you explain? guest: we did go through periods in which the administration came under criticism for being too liberal with the soviet union. and in the administration was more hard lined, talk about the evil empire, and came under criticism for being too harsh and confrontational. ,hile there was a strong debate they were not polarized along party lines. there were lots of hawks in the democratic party. people like the senator from e verygton, who wer critical of the republican administration for being too soft on the soviet union. and there were plenty of doves in the republican party critical of reagan and others who were too harsh. while there was a hawk/dub division in the congress and country, it was not republican/ democratic division. the fact it was not polarized along party lines meant consensus was easier to achieve. host: line was madeleine albright your favorite secretary to work with? guest: i admired the way she operated, the first woman as secretary estate. a w

vonnie: a new case divorce from britain'san union -- divorce from the european union is well known, we advice straight ahead. this is bloomberg. ♪ live from london and new york, i am mark barton. vonnie: i am vonnie quinn. this is bloomberg markets. the future of trade relations to the european union and united kingdom is at the heart of brexit talks. a negotiator is warning the u.k. withdraw and would carry consequences on trade ties. simon coveney met with brexit secretary david davis earlier and he joins us now run exclusive interview of the irish embassy in london. thanks for joining. your first impressions of your meeting with david davis today? : i think we had a good meeting. i think it was frank and length, which it needs to be because the ireland and england are friends great ireland is on the negotiations,xit but we have a close relationship from a trade and political perspective with britain that we need to be cognizant of that. we are in many ways in a vulnerable position in the context of brexit, should it not turn out to be a positive outcome from a future trade perspecti

but there are other compromises that preserve the union the compromise between the founding fathers when they came to write the u.s. constitution of these were in trouble with the northern and southern sections those that were anti-slavery but in order for a the country to maintain its stability the compromise had to be made but to have all the compromises that were made that it did not work any more. a political party disappeared in the republican party was born. and even with the kansas and that controversy one after another it was quite a decade. >> some would say it delayed the inevitable. >> i think we would say that if we were looking back something that historians have as an obligation to is take the path on its own terms they did not know what would happen in 1850 or 1860. so in the past we think what should have happened and try to understand on its own terms. >> the south had disproportionate influence from many decades. >> if you look at the first presidents except the adams with washington being principal and jefferson and madison and monroe. they were slaveholders. and

the transport secretary has criticised rail unions for continuing with industrial action.ompany problems. his findings make clear that industrial action is the main cause of disruption for southern passengers, or was last year when things were at their worst. as southern passengers know full well how much their service has improved since that action ceased injanuary. forms has been better since the new year, that is why, it is tragic that the union leaderships now want to carry on a battle which is meaningless and unnecessary. the performance of this railway is only going to carry on improving if industrial action by those unions stops. they seemed unwilling to come to the party. aslef, the drivers union, started the overtime ban again last week, resulting in southern trains passengers having 25% of trains cancelled each day. is he aware of the unions working together, being encouraged by the labour party, or does he see this as a straight interunion rivalry? well, let me first of all stress again, i knowjust how difficult this has been for his constituents and others, the

iam trade agreement with the european union. i am confident we will get a good deal with the eu. just about the interest of the united kingdom, it is about the interests of the remaining 27 countries in the european union. it is in the interests of both sides to have a good trade agreement. i am also optimistic about the opportunities we will see around the rest of the world. some of the countries i have been talking to hear who have shown great interest in working with us on trade arrangements in the future, the united states, japan, china, india, they are all huge world economies. this is an important development for the united kingdom and i look forward to developing those trade deals as well. yes. what did you make earlier of donald trump talking about women's empowerment. is it ironic when you consider some of the sexist remarks he has made in the past and when can we welcome president trump to britain? we don't have a date yet. but on the first point we have done some important work on the whole question of women's empowerment. we launched the women's empowerment. we launch

for the union or no for the union that's that's probably only weeks away. that's a great we'll see how it shakes out larry thank you he's a pleasure great having you. al gore a former senator vice president and popular vote winner of the two thousand presidential election said this week that it's time for single payer health care so why did the media ignore him i asked marc anthony and scott greer in tonight's rumble right after the break. there's a real irony going. to play a big response on the point from the people and it's always the it's one that's always the same answer. for every no wholesale surveillance means to tell you i'm all mean while those who intend to do so since the instructor has used social media well i always thought that story was a scar a real. i think the average viewer just after watching a couple segments understands that we're telling stories in our critics can't tell me you know why because their advertisers let them. in order to create change you would have to be honest you have to tell the truth parties able to do that every st

should there be a real european union?edge of europe? a source of dislocation and war. the poles, the hungarians, the czechs, the others, can we do this together? should germany, so long distrusted by its neighbors, take an aggressive posture to end the slaughter in bosnia? supporting nato's first intervention outside the member nati nations and the first deployment of german forces outside of its own country since the end of world war ii. after all the carnage of the war, finally the berlin wall falls. should you just heave a sigh of relief or recognize that this has been a terrible experience for russia? and reach out a hand of friendship accompanied by a check and give me the answer to do the same. should nato be preserved or scrapped? there are a lot of people who thought it should be scrapped. and instead expanded not as threat but as a promise with a special set of partnerships that included both russia and ukraine to guarantee the territorial integrity and cooperation of people in the future. these were really big q

it's great to see the old union comrades, old and in the sensef longtime union comrades. but berry who i met years ago when he was a stalwart of the united electrical workers throughout the northeast, and my long-time fellow newspaper guild, god, coworker and friend donna cartwright who is the one person i know in the room has actually been to richmond california and is a visitor to the neighborhood whose daughter hasn't been there on days like this five years ago when degioia was having a very bad hair day and had a fire and explosion that sent 15,000 of our richmond neighbors scrambling for medical attention at every hospital emergency room and clinic in the area. is there anybody else that went to school in the area or work in the area, spent time in the great city of richmond or near its? >> [inaudible] >> he went t >> you into berkeley. did you ever go to richmond? >> [inaudible] >> let's come back and talk about that. anybody else clacks >> [inaudible] >> okay, the county seat where we have a sheriff we need to replace at the moment. but we can talk later on about t

the european union was one of them, too much the european union seemed to crystallize that modern european openness, but of course it did so at the price of reducing the democratic voice. now, a lot of somewheres have stop voting in elections because they felt things that faked -- affected their lives were imposed from the outside without any -- one of the key differences actually is the way in which -- in trade negotiations, global -- all of these global negotiations, anywheres are starting -- the assumption of anywheres is some sort of deal to further open up trade and goods and services and so on, movement to people, must inherently be a good thing and we must come together -- a european argument -- come together in europe to negotiate and protect ourselves from the kind of global markets, and -- but i think to -- elites, even in my large definition of elites, the top 15%, 20% of the population, the understand that and see the rationale, and often benefits them, but to the nonelite, the cure is worse than the disease, or it's the same as the disease. poked around by browseles or -- bruc

but setting up pa rt the european union.ut setting up part of it aside, for talking about negotiating options, is it possible that we could indicate to the eu negotiators that we are willing to show flexibility on our side if they show flexibility on our side if they show some on theirs? well, as i say, the eu has set the negotiating guidelines. there are very, very set in these four freedoms. they don't want us to mess up freedoms. they don't want us to mess up their single market. they would rather we had a clean break and studio like canada. i call it a super canada deal, began better than canada. rather than actually trying to gain favour within the single market. as quite a big economy, the fifth largest in the world. that is where they're coming from. mr blair says he is not saying this just on the basis of the whim. another was, duplication was that he has had conversations with, we do not know who, to give him the impression that this may a possibility. it is notjust a kite flying exercise on his part. do you think h

that is denied by the unions.bout getting rid of a second person on board, and they hired its happy going on for a year and neither have come anywhere near resolving it. in terms of the fine, £30 million doesn't leave a very big bad in southern rail‘s funds. you can see it is not the norm is. the reason for that, the government are saying, they don't think the delays are down to the company, a lot of people would dispute that, but they are saying most of this is bound to strike days and alsojust most of this is bound to strike days and also just a most of this is bound to strike days and alsojust a union members taking sick days when they are not meant to, so an unofficial strike action. the rmt union said the fine was pathetic, while the company called it a fair outcome — what are passenger groups saying? it depends which ones you ask. there area it depends which ones you ask. there are a variety who want different things, passenger groups who want sub and stripped of the franchise, that frankly was never going t

for him, of course, monetary union had to go hand in hand with political union and there perhaps we seethe euro that came into being it was not one accompanied by the political union which he thought was necessary and the story of the euro ever since is well known. but nonetheless, disregarding that clear problem with the euro his achievement in that period was monumental and created the europe we know today. as for the reaction around the continent, of course, it's one of, you know, great honour, tribute, a sense that this was a man who was there at a time europe was feeling confident and going places and a feeling encapsulated by macron and hopefully his new relationship with angela merkel, that maybe there is another moment now to seize in europe's history, and in that sense, kohl's legacy can be built on as merkel and macron they hope form this new bond and relationship. it's going to be and relationship. it's going to be an interesting day with high—profile guests attending, including the british prime minister, of course. thank you for now. the chinese president, xijinping, says h

no union. the notion of unions as a powerful social force requires a lack of understanding of what's going on in our society that boggles ththe mind. so what have we got? we've got all the mechanisms in place that allow the business community and the wealththy to contrtrol the polilitics. you l l know these stories. they're the ones who fund the candidates; they're the ones who fund the parties; they're the ones who hire huge armies off lobbyisists to work on an ongoig basis with whoever gets elected. and they fund all these think tanks that produce endless resources and reports and researchers and specialists for the radio and the television to shape the consciousness of what americans see, hear, and think. and the e end result are events sort of like the two political presidential conventions in which not a word is said about the system, not a word is said of the sort i've just finished telling you about in which they each blame each other as if the politicos had the power to do much about al

maybe you have unions in the car factories.ut the idea of a public sector union where not on are they bargaining collectively to extract as much as they can, but they are also hoping to elect their bosses with whom they are bargaining. steve: you expect to be governor. you are trying hard. just in terms of the debt and the fiscal position of california. that's a big issue for any politician running for office. >> it is a big issue and i have a track record. we were facing a bankruptcy. almost everybody said l.a. was going bankrupt. i got current employees to go from 6% to 1% contribution to their pension. then i said, instead of getting 100% of their salary at 55 would get 50% at 65. unfortunately they changed that after i left now it's back to where it was. kim rrp i have some strong opinions about education, having worked as a teacher and been an educator. i caught kindergarten through high school, and specializing in children with emotional needs. i saw how poor the system is in some of these public schools where you have ch
