has the uk government had any discussions with the likes of universities uk about alternative ways ofxams? it goes without saying, these decisions can't be silo. there must be cross constrictor and cross government approach and i hope you agree with the dialogue and dissolve discussions continue. the primary nursery sector provides a crucial role in enabling parents but particularly mothers to go back to work. they are absolutely crying out for clarity and support from the government and feel very strongly in the words of my constituent, louisa simmons, they've seen pubs and retail get a great deal more assistance than they have. this is the right thing to do for their kids and for us stop the virus spreading, but they're also going to be really worried that theyjust can't afford to stop work to look after them and can't get the grandparents to step in. given that he said this could last for some time, will he look at urgent financial support for parents, not just those for free school meals, but all parents in these circumstances, or look at working with local councils for free child

about the novel coronavirus has been changing day by day. earlier i spoke with dr. imran ali, a specialist in hospital medicine at the university of connecticut center on aging about everything from wearing masks to drinking tea. according to "the washington post," cdc officials are considering encouraging people to cover their face not with medical masks but perhaps with do-it-yourself cloth masks. it's something that the president said that he isn't opposed to for a limited period of time. do you believe this would lead people to have a false sense of security, go out in public, maybe ignore social distancing guidelines? >> the thing is, social distancing has been the gold standard for preventing pandemic even going back to 1832's pandemic -- not pandemic, epidemic, rather, of cholera in new york city, social distancing really helped stem the tide. back then we didn't have any treatment. the thing is having a mask, a cloth mask, may help people from coughing and not expelling the droplets out to neighbors. but it still is not ideal. because these masks can become soiled, can have virus on it. then when you take them off, put the

boston university one of eight schools, schools and universities i'm talking about, in the state of massachusettsey are shutting down, including some of the most famous names in all the world. boston university is currently on spring break. they basically told students don't come back on sunday. in fact, stay out for the rest of the month, at least. there are now, i believe, over 150 institutions of higher learning across the country, california to new york and many points in between, in at least 20 states and the district of columbia that have now announced they are closing down their campuses and in some cases pushing to online courses. i should point out many colleges and universities had been planning for this event wal dps eventua lirks arks even eventuality. even though the young people are not the ones that normally would fall to this coronavirus, it's the staff and those working there that are more affected. in some cases they can't close down because they have a lot of international students. they will have to, like here in boston university, keep the dorms and dining halls open to take

of the democratic party. so when we think about the 1984 presidential run of jesse jackson, this is hugely important because what jesse jackson does, even as he tries to run as a universal candidate, he is going to be interpreted as a black candidate. he tries to run universal everything, health-care, income ending poverty, a more generous foreign-policy to the third world, all these different things. 1984 and 1988 are great examples of how ron walters is transitioning to a political insider who is still concerned about black power and its impact on the grassroots. he becomes deputy campaign manager for domestic issues in the jackson campaign in 1984, he is writing memos, handling the press. he becomes a leading figure in the 1980's in terms of a black intellectual, but also as a policy advocate. and before bill clinton's election in 1992, he anticipates the rise of neoliberal politicians who are scapegoating black communities, but these black communities are held hostage because the republican party under reagan and subsequently continues to be vociferously anti-black in terms of its policy positions. sometimes people say, is this party racist? and the answer is, all t
