just tell us first of all how you first got to know ray wilkins?e days. ray being of a similar age and the same year in school, we became quite close friends, having played a lot of matches together the following couple of seasons. i think the first time that i really got to know him on the ability side of how he could play but also well was when we play for england schoolboys together. he was just so good. so for england schoolboys together. he wasjust so good. so much better than everybody else. probably a couple of years advanced of his yea rs couple of years advanced of his years at that particular time, and you look at him and he suddenly thought this guy is good. this guy will go on and on and on, and he most certainly did playing wise and coaching. we are looking at some pictures of him in action and he clearly was a really, one of the most talented players of his generation. certainly was, and i think in those younger years up to the age of 18 when he became captain of chelsea, a lot was expected of him ongoing, and i think chelsea do that.

wilkin and dr. shaw can answer it, too, what are some of the earliest examples of freedom of religion around the world? >>> well, let's take england because that's a case where so much influence in this country. in the 17th century england went through a great struggle because the puritans did not want to conform to whawas a publicly religion and over the course of several generations they were able to make a case and basically in which rulers sided with the act of toleration that there had to be space for those who were not church of england people and that would be one clear example and it has repercussions -- and there are others in the netherlands and in france and the english example for us is the most important. >> yeah. there is an early example which was discussed in those kinds of discussions and that is that we have an example in the roman empire in the beginning of the fourth century and robert has written expertly about this, namely the so-called edict of milan which was co-authored by t

the other match of the afternoon, mark williams is leading robert wilkins seven frames to five. have plenty more for you at around 5:30pm. they discussed the importance of the iran nuclear deal as the best way of neutralising the threat of the nuclear armed iran, agreeing the priority of the international community remain preventing iran from developing a nuclear weapons. the european leaders talks came as michael pompeo also reiterated america's determination to prevent the iranians ever getting a nuclear weapons. on his first visit to the middle east, mr pompeo said tehran had suffered dunn —— iran had suffered worse behaviour. iran has only behaved worst since the deal was approved. in yemen, iran continues to support the violent to the rebels by providing military equipment, funding and training. this is in violation of the un security council conditions. they continue to fire muscles and to saudi arabia on a regular basis, threatening the saudi people. while we will continue to assist saudi arabia with its defence needs and support its right to defend its own borders, a pol

it gives them, again, to use roger wilkins' phrase, that human space to push for and aspire for that inclusion into the mainstream of american life. so the new deal is very essential in that regard. we're also seeing a continued fight against lynching. this has been an issue since the beginning of the 20th century as we well know. and it is still an issue in the late 30s and early 1940s, african-americans are still facing the threat of racial terror throughout the united states. but there's going to be some pushback against this. the pushing for and the advocacy of anti-lynching legislation. also we're going to see some other areas of pushback in terms of african-americans again trying to assert their rights. assert their rights as citizens of the country. for instance, in the 1930s moving into the 1940s, we're going to see a series of don't buy where you can't work boycotts. right? the segregation combined with the depression has pushed african-american employees, african-american workers out of places they had formerly occupied. what this means in places like st. louis or birmingha

when judge wilkin shutdown our ingenius mechanism, we had to rewrite for public financing, which is not a bad system. but we're learning from this because as you can think back, we haven't had a lot of experience with a really truly open mayoral election, so i'm very appreciative to see the kinks that have kicked out in our auditing process and our qualifications of various contributo contributors' attempts to do good faith. and i think it really does point to the fact that we need to rethink this whole system. there's a model in seattle which is interesting on vouchers, where everyone in the city gets a voucher, essentially and can make a contribution to the candidate of their choice one time. so that -- that would simplify the process of qualifying the audit. but i do want to say this: that it certainly wasn't the intent of this body or the legislative intent of the authors of the public financing system to make the system user unfriendly. to the contrary, it was to make the system exceedingly friendly because the purpose is to provide a platform for debate to the greatest extent poss

civil and economic rights and again, to use roger wilkins can' phrase to push for and aspire for that inclusion into the the mainstream of american life. and so the new deal is very essential in that regard, and also seeing the continued fight against lynching. this is an issue since the beginning of the 20th century as we well know. it is still an issue in the late 30s and 1940s and african-americans are still facing the threat of racial terror throughout the united states. and there is going to be some push back against this, and the pushing for, and the edadvocacyf the national legislation, and the anti-lynching legislation, and also some other areas of the pushback in the terms of a african-americans trying to assert the rights and assert the rights as citizens of the country, and for instance in the 1930s, moving into the 1940s a series of don't buy where you can't work boycotts. all right. so the segregation combined with the depression, all right, it has pushed african-american employees and african-american workers out of places that they have foremerly occupied. so what this
