ursula burns is the only african-american one. she stepped down.hy deloitte, but our white sisters aren't doing well, but women of color are very far behind. for men of color, again, this issue of imprisonment, how they're being treated by law enforcement, and it seems to be we're cavalier about this. it's like there is this malaise over us where we just don't care, so i'm concerned about us going backwards. it feels like we're going backwards instead of forwards. we've got me too and us too and the great movements of our time. dr. king was a true revolutionary. like the founders, he actually did something. he didn't just talk and give speeches. people forget this man marched. he was with the sanitation workers in memphis. he was doing things to move the ball. now we like to talk, talk, talk, talk, and we don't do a lot of ball moving. >> movement comes how, then? >> it comes through revolution. it comes through challenge, change, provocation, it comes through people living out our motto, e pluribus unum, out of many, one. we don't have to agree. i

defense minister ursula from the lion has acknowledged mistakes in handling extreme right wing tendencies that's just not the front desk these are fulfilling news media i'm not all that concerned that these events occurred you mustn't forget that the armed forces consist of more than two hundred fifty thousand men and women that's more than the population of african a lot of good things and bad things will happen what does bother me is that it has taken so long for these cases to come to light and be dealt with namely months and even years in some cases once and. not it sometimes. an indefensible situation but one that doesn't affect the whole of the armed forces that's why many soldiers thought blue the. accusation that they had a problem with that attitude was unjustified they felt publicly pilloried particularly when the ministry of defense ordered all barracks to be search for paraphernalia relating to the vam germany second world war army. was. so involved of an evening. it wasn't great to be under general suspicion and as one of. the militias it was really quite unsettling muskets o

one of the authors is ursula martin, a computer scientist and a professor in the maths institute at oxfordt oxford. very good evening to you. the connection between those scribbles and computing, modern computing, what is that connection? well what they're doing in those scribbles is they're trying to find a pattern in a network. and the way they are trying to find, to solve the problem, is not by puzzling just over konigsberg, they are doing what computer scientists today do, abstract in the problem, playing with different bridges and islands. konigsberg has four islands and seven bridges but then you start thinking about bigger networks and you get all the way up to facebook, that has 2 billion islands of people. and 300 billion bridges. it would keep you busy drawing it. the extraordinary thing is that the principles are the same. the principles they are playing with on that piece of paper are the same as the principles of people today trying to write algorithms to crack massive problems. charles babbage was thinking about machines that would do this analysis and ada lovelace was thinki
