it is clearly so important to young people. we clearly are not voting for the best interests of arrogance to joints. thank you. [applause] -- for the best interests of our constituents. [applause] speaker bercow: thank you. it is time we heard a voice from london. i think we will hear this young man here. >> thank you, mr. speaker. while i agree that transport is a big issue for young people, this topic is simply too big and without a vision. another goal is more realistic and achievable in 12 months. we need to think about what is actually feasible in 12 months. transport is not young people's issue. it affects all of us. encourage you to move against this motion and instead in favor of -- thank you. speaker bercow: thank you. [applause] what about scotland? who wants to speak from scotland? the young man here. >> thank you, mr. speaker. there is a need for better .ransport it must be run for people and not profit. it is not from the -- i urge you all to support this motion. thank you. [applause] speaker bercow: thank you. now

young people at this age can give this. they. can join thearmy and become heroes i think we should look at this more broadly. -- is having the right to vote really that bad? i know there are young people here today who would be against this motion here today. we want to be talk about politics. other people who are suitable to ask about politics or politicians themselves. if we were granted the right to vote, one of the processes of politics and be the political politics would want to gain our votes. this is not ideal that how many people vote know now truly understand want and who we are. for example, i know people who vote for certain things because they do not think it affects them and they just tick any box. i never understood the maturity argument. to be honest, think 16 and 17-year-olds are more than capable of this response ability. yes, some can be a bit silly and will do things to be seen amateur, but i am sure this will not -- immature, but i'm not sure this will happen if they study to vote. i know this because it is ju

to young people without that the engagement of the young people by and large as i say africans odd even aware of these talk shops so to say. but i know if i take a look at actually all three of those opening statements that i just read off i'd have to conclude that the common thread in all of them is the sense that if anything european african relations may take a turn not for the better but for the worse i think that's after all the decision makers to decide that i think we will we're not headed for an equal partnership because european countries and african parties countries are not equals african countries also vastly different what does gonna presently have in common with south sudan for example but i think if we're respectful and if europeans approach this clearly explaining their interests africa much rather than talking about africa as a basket case or a charity case but not rather we have an interest in economic development that's good for our business we have an interest in migration control because we have problems at home rightwing populism and then you can approach this in a

and that's a very young age. and during that time, most kids had to lie about their age and write the number 18 on their foot so they could swear when the recruiting officer came they could swear they were over 18. i think it's really cool they wanted to fight so bad and they had to do that. >> this note says -- i'll read it to you. this was found folded behindthe -- behind the photograph. it says, my beloved son carl, april first, on 1865. that was a week before the war ended. at age 18. killed at dimwitty. flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. >> it was a week before the war ended? >> yeah. these photographs, these soldiers, they look like present day kids. i mean, they really do. they look like anyone you would see walking downthe street. believe, the post started publishing faces of the fallen, soldiers killed in afghanistan or in iraq and later in iraq and afghanistan. there was one actually just ten days ago in the sunday paper. the boys saw those photographs, were deeply moved by them, and realize that

we're talking about young people who arrived in this country, in many cases at very, very young ages. some of them were babies, some were young children at the time. and when you hear their stories, you come away impressed that they have succeeded, they've become part of the fabric of american life. as one daca recipient said to me in a meeting back a couple of months ago sitting in a conference room around a long conference table, talking to me and with other daca recipients, this young woman said to me because of the looming deadline and the potential that she could lose the status she has now and be deported, she said to me, the only country i've ever known doesn't want me, or at least she was reflecting the policy that the administration had enunciated seems to have sent a message to her that she is not wanted. this makes no sense at all on a number of fronts, and i will get to each of them in a moment, but i start with the word promise. these young people were made a promise by our government. it was made by the president of the united states of america when he said, come forward

is there a young woman from scotland? >> none of us are going to stand wrongoday and say it is to do this, but it is clear we already supported. that is already being done. we don't need to do what has done.y been stronger believe, more resources, more financial support. we can put our resources into something that can really be changed. we can show our support and let people who already do this get on with it. thank you. >> thank you! [applause] >> what about somebody from london. would we have from london? yes, the young woman here. >> i would like to thank you for the opportunity to speak. parliament has been known for upholding lgbtq writes. we became one of the first organizations and the u.k. to sanction same-sex marriage. we have to congratulate ourselves. it is simply not enough, the struggle that lgbt young people have. it is an issue we have every single day. work.lic transport and at there can be no doubt we'll see youth parliament need to lead the campaign on this issue. those in this chamber represented gener

these young members of. flash the gangs hand signs they live from extortion once you join a gang the only way to leave is in a coffin membership offers power respect and fun and. being a gangster that's it it's the coolest thing that can happen to you. it's in your blood from when you're a child the love you don't get from your family you find on the street and the gang . they swagger drink take drugs and try to look cool. but when they get an order to kill they do it no questions asked. you don't feel anything you just do the job afterwards chill out with your friends have a drink you can't think about it it's done finished. time for a break brian is a skilled soccer player but at twenty he has no job training he moved out of his parents' home after an argument with young people like brian are often heard by the gangs promises of money and power but he isn't. they give you all of that but then what death prison i don't want that i'm fine the way things are now. at the end. sometimes the team is called out t

africans who are aware of that young zimbabweans young south africans are reported much inside africa who are aware of what's going on in the and the demographic that's taking place in europe and aspire to to get educated and come to europe to fill those gaps or to say so yes in many ways it looked it is a partnership can be reached there but i think by and large what africans young africans are appealing to is to say c.s. is equal partners we're tired of the sort of cosmetic rhetoric oh we're we had to help you the reality is we can both give something we've talked about the resources for example the skills that are on the african continent you're talking about zimbabwe it's a very educated country with the highest literacy rate on the continent so at some point young africans are demanding not just from the west by the way even from their leaders part of the reason why robert mugabe fell out with a lot of young zimbabweans was they looked at him as somebody who was old school in thinking robert mugabe thought if you gave somebody land and they could be a peasant farmer and they coul

young young cityscape isn't just changing architecture really young people have discovered roller blading and can increasingly be seen out on squares where tanks can only roll or at least used to i move it but even down i'm not certain whether it's aliens taught here but it's a start speaking of a rivet at shady iran festival is always had a special fascination for me as it has i'm sure for anyone else who's seen it it's named after an old korean folk song and tries to present north korea's history in a row it manner using mass dances in gymnastics. more than one hundred thousand people participate making it the world's largest dance event of this kind if i look beyond the propaganda madness the choreography is always hugely impressive. the an iran festival doesn't take place at regular intervals it's normally held in spring and autumn but sometimes it's not held at all anyone who participates i'm told gets a television or a fridge as a reward the mass event is meant to commit the people to the political goals of the regime through the a mistake of imagery. i . have attended the iran fest

and then young went down into the valley.t his cane into the ground and said here will be our new temple location. woodruff was there on that occasion and took a stake and drove it into the ground. in 1853 they finally began construction and it took them 40 years to complete. in the meantime the peculiar form of marriage became an object of across the country. it is largely because it wasn't enforced and they believed the law was unconstitutional, that it violated their civil rights. come bieped with the laws were supreme court decisions saying no. these laws are constitution that. they were forced to a voice. he essentially records a document that he released in september of 1890 beginning the ending of that practice. this is the journal in which he recorded that. so urnder the date he recorded n red ink official declaration. so official declaration. he copies into his journal a document that was released and later called the manifesto. it started the ending of plural marriage in the church. the most important was this langu

already these young people are making a difference, serving as reminder you're never too young to change the world. tonight we're honored to share the inspiring stories. "young wonders: a cnn heroes special." i'm anderson cooper. it is never easy to change the world, no matter how young or old, the ability to stand up for what you believe in, fight for it, to work for it. takes a profound courage. you have to forget the norms of who can and can't be a leader. trust your instincts, listen to your heart, day after day. this is what young wonders do at cnn heroes, inspiring kids doing amazing things, no matter their age. over the years we shared some of their stories as part of the annual cnn heroes, an all-star tribute. tonight, we introduce you to this year's young wonders. these five kids found incredible ways to bring more hope, decency and kindness into the world. each saw a problem, didn't wait to grow up to act. and are inspiring others around them. as unique as these young wonders, i hope you'll be inspired by their efforts. learn more at cnn.com. these incredible people make an app

how much change can they be hoping to bring the young people without the engagement of the young people? africans aren't even aware of .hese take a look at all three of the statements, i would have read isude the comments the sense if anything, relations may take a turn not for the better for the worse. it is up to the decision-makers. we are not headed for an equal partnership. african countries are not equal. o vastly als different. hana have in common? if europeans approach this explaining their interests, and interest in economic development, that is good for our business. migration control. we have problems with white wing -- right-wing populism. based on then arguing out your interest, i think that would be a sound approach. >> there was a lot of stress amongst the europeans meeting that ac common interests -- that they see common interests. the certain that is arcon triesdent m to show us. we are historically bonded together. we have a close relationship. is the continent in proximity to europe. europe needs agriculture and other raw materials from africa. there is no doubt about

it's also hoped these young players can offer some inspiration to our challenge team. oi!a bia... even atjust 12 and 13 years of age, ana and luiza have already encountered a lot of resistance to their love of the game. with ana and luiza as their inspiration, the women start making plans for the week ahead. maira and bia also take some time to reflect on the first day. the team is made up of high achievers, but none of them has ever taken on a challenge of this scale injust a week. it's going to be an interesting few days. we've had a really early start and just drove an hour and a half to reach the school in capim in the west zone of rio. we're going to see a very unique experience promoting gender equality in sport — korfball. korfball was invented just over 100 years ago in the netherlands so that men and women could play alongside each other on the same team. school pe teacher shayla is a big fan of the sport because the sexes can compete on equal terms. although watching the korfball is useful, neither of these bia or maira are spectators in life, and they are itchin

they are young people like maria. a dreamer who was brought to the united states when she was four years old. now 22, she is working as a teacher and director of the infant toddler program at a montessori school in washoe county, nevada. she already has an associate's degree but she plans to enroll in the university of nevada reno to pursue a bachelors in education, human development and family studies. maria sent me a letter to tell me her story and she wrote, quote, i as a dreamer am being truly affected by not knowing what will happen with my future. since we moved here, i have learned what the meaning of true work ethic is and hows to a positive asset to our nation. being a daca recipient means i can never have a criminal record, i pay taxes, i have a great job teaching our youth and am still working hard to continue my education. i'm here thanks to the selflessness and courage my mother showed. and i believe any parent would do the same for their children without hesitation. my mother followed all of the rules to

i was there with the young people that day. i'll never forget what one young man said. i think he was born in gawt mall awe, hon du jour -- guatemala or el salvador. we were recognizing these young people and celebrating their promise and potential. and right in the middle of all of this, we got this announcement, the administration announced about sending these folks in six months. not really home because their home is there, but back to the place where they were born. one young man, four, five, of the students, all undergrads. some were freshmen. this young man came here, i think from guatemala. he said as a young person, i honestly never remember living in my native country. the only country i remember is this country. he said for years -- he said i grew up in public schools. every day we would start our school day in class in home room by standing and putting our hands over our hearts and pledging allegiance to the united states of america. and he said this is my home. this is my country. this is the only home i have ever really known. he went on to tell about his a

and possibly a social assault of a young female. and information that we had led us to believe that it could be in one of the parks in bankstown. senior constable danny mccarty is lebanese astray and. he's born and bred in south west sydney school that punchbowl boys high. in two thousand he's a new constable with less than a year on the force and nothing prepares him for what he's about to find. i'm walking through this park and i can say you know disc because he's got the tissues. on the ground and then i noticed. an older gentleman you know. and he's hunched over something and he seems to be distressed. i can see young fame on the ground so i don't know what's what's happening so i'm really going to hold him to keep keep more from from the ngo and then i realize it is it's a father. someone fortunate in that situation the father is found his daughter first. and it was clear that had been a sexual assault. it was a very very very traumatic experience very very hard thing to say. in that light her own information came out that it w

it sends a bad message to our young, our young men and women that you cannot even walk down the street on the telephone. you do not know whether to a faster workflow. we do not know whether you should speak or not speak. there are just so many things that they have to go through if they do not feel safe in their community and their own country. >> you write about this and there is this moment you know this to geraldo rivera tweet ways as the hoodie is the problem. if only he had not been wearing a hoodie, it would not have been killed. there is a line that says he could take the hoodie off but he could not take his skin off. and i think that is what felt so compelling about the story. i was in college at the time still and i remember sitting in my college newspaper reading the articles written about this and thinking to myself, i grew up in the suburbs of cleveland. picking how many times the middle of the night was i walking around going to the corner store and always wearing a hoodie, constantly! and how easily could this have happened? you do not talk about that. the parents of jord

he was a young man. from today's perspective, young people, we don't suspect great things of them. but in the 18th century, a man just short of his 20th birthday was a man. and as you heard from previous presentations, he was in many respects quite experienced. at 16, he went off into the wilderness surveying. he was no neophyte. four months shy of his 20th birthday, he accompanied his ailing brother lawrence to barbados where lawrence would be cured of his tuberculosis. as i mentioned, he kept a journal during this first and only ever overseas visit. the journal has survived. it is in the library of congress. you can download it and read it. it is in bad condition and some of the pages are missing, unfortunately. but it does provide wonderful insights into the mind of this young man, revealing him to be a self-confident, observant individual with an inquiring, analytical mind. why barbados? why did they choose our island? well, perhaps insignificant as it may seem today, barbados from the 17th to the middle of the 18th century was really one of the, if not the prize possession in

i mean, this young girl, the end -- young daughter here, it's incredibly moving. but realize that in the actual photograph she's probably a , quarter inch high. now we are blowing it up to this size. >> i believe the photographs are sharper from the 1800's. they had more silver in them. so there is more grains reflecting the light. they had wonderful lenses at times. but it's also the case that mr. liljennquist has a pretty good eye. there are -- he chose pictures that would resonate or have a particular strength of composition, expression on the person's face. these are not just any old civil war photographs. they are the best. >> this young boy, he's a confederate holding a flint lock rifle. i like this one because he's probably not older than me. i'm 14 years old. he's probably maybe 15 or maybe 14. but he looks mean and angry. but i mean, he could also be sad. but i really like this picture because he's young and i can relate to him because i'm probably his age. >> i'll show you what an amber -- ambrotype is. the photograph is actually done on glass. this sold

this idea of putting young people in to help young people with mental health issues into schools, ist councillors and so on is that new to put councillors and so on in schools? that has been done in several individual schools when they choose to, this is about developing a workforce to help specific schools with early intervention. we know early intervention. we know early intervention is critical. we hear from parents and young people every day about the devastating effect of young weights —— long waits and not knowing where to go for help. so this is really positive. however, it is the quantity of help that is concerning, when this will happen and wanting to see a long—term strategy, not just a and wanting to see a long—term strategy, notjust a short—term fix, oi’ strategy, notjust a short—term fix, ora strategy, notjust a short—term fix, or a short—term funding. we need to see this continue in the long term forever, if we are going to have an impact on children and young people's mental health. we talk about this mental health crisis among young people in particular. what are the

young man d.i.'s thinking about farming oysters among the mangroves. that would combine environmental protection with female empowerment and what could prove to be a profitable business. hunting the patient and voting are key characteristics of a modern democracy democracy gives people a voice including minorities it involves political opposition freedom of opinion and the press all citizens a bound by a constitution which protects basic rights as a division of powers and everyone is equal before the law in sweden it's precisely this democracy which is celebrated for a week every year. it isn't easy to find somewhere to stay during on that island week the lucky ones find a spot in a classroom it's a bit like a music festival but this is a political event this classroom is being shared by the green party and the liberals. twenty three year old law student oscar mark is a member of the youth wing of the center right liberal party. we want to. stir there are. more we are. center party in the side the event takes place about one hundred kilometers off the

as in many schools, all of the teachers are young and white and female. what message does this send to kids who are not of the dominant culture? the school felt oppressive. while making eye contact and nodding at speakers is not wrong, this land system is not contextualized to a variety of learning environments, if it resulted in an emphasis on behavior over active learning, you are considered a good learner if you can demonstrate slant, but this is a minimal condition for learning in most situations. for many students this behavior has nothing to do with learning. of course it is hard to teach of two students are cutting up in class, but the third class science teacher described clearly been trained to stop the lesson in the absence of 100% compliance. in our conversation later the teacher admitted to me she felt badly about her decision to abort the lesson in favor of behavior. in this school we believe if students are not practicing slant, then learning will be compromised, it is like a broken window theory, you have to take care of the small things be

a young person's journey. did a job in the state department under secretary tillerson and he recently left. what was your role? guest: we produced white papers, tried to coordinate national security and think about ways of , how do we tackle the main key issues facing u.s. national security? host: you are now at the broadcasting board of governors. guest: it is an $800 million global media industry. voice of america. middle east broadcasting network . it is really an amazing platform , producing over 7000 hours of broadcasts a day in 71 languages, original content. for me, the work, the stories that the broadcasting board of governors is telling his fascinating. it is reaching audiences all around the world. how can we -- audience? how can we be more effective? host: haroon ullah is with us for the next 45 minutes, taking your questions and comments as we talk about the digital ward war -- world war. republicans,gain, (202) 748-8001. democrats, (202) 748-8000. independents, (202) 748-8002. likean start calling

of young people that are voting now. they've gotta reach out and say, "we care, we're with you, and here's where we stand on the issues you care about." eleanor: but on the other hand, a lot of african american women, 96% of them in alabama are saying, "okay, we voted for the democratic ticket. now we want to see the democratic party service our agenda and work with us on the issues we care about." so the democrats have some work to do too on figuring out what is their platform, and how can we service these people and keep them all together so that they can take back the house and the senate in the midterm elections? erin: i have to ask you both about the tax reform plan. we could expect a vote likely later this week. many polls show it's wildly unpopular. what does this mean for the gop? joe: well, at the end of the day, republicans will say that it's a middle-class tax cut, but i'm not sure. i'm not convinced that it's gonna really help middle-class people. i'm not convinced. i mean, certainly, it'll help corporate fol

we have thousands of young malallas.n social media, by research shows 1% of people are content creators. 9% share content and 90% are passive consumers like me and you. we need to get more people off that 90% into the front lines of the battle, because those stories are organic and articulate and can turn the tide. host: speaking of threats during the holidays and the new years, the story from "the new york times" the ball dropping in times square has long drawn heavy security but this year the send rooftop observation teams and counter snipers into more buildings. officers will be patrolling hotels leading up to the ball drop on new year's eve. for the first time, the police department is planning to attach reflective markers to the outside of buildings at certain intervals so that in the event of an attack, officers can quickly figure out what floor a gunman is on. "there are no direct credible threats to new york city, to times square specifically, or to our new year's eve events generally," james o'neill, the new yor

then young pitches her ideas is that. we were able to build the dike with money from the fund now we want local authorities to help us make use of the dike now it's that. you get young people involved many youngsters have already helped women plant trees if. i have to have water pipes laid to the plots of the young vegetable farmers. and as far as the dice so that we could have enough water there. that would help the sale and use the soil even more but they rejected my application. so yeah monday i a won't get any more help here in fact the mayor says he has no more money to spend and asks how he might get some from the green climate fund. despite all the difficulties the women have already achieved a lot a year ago the local authority gave ya mind ya has women's co-operative the land they've been working on it has been waste ground the forty women share the four hectare plot. up an even match and won't get us off to the rainy season in the diners are going to drill a well and teach the women how to grow vegetables. then

and so in a way eve aen the modern brigham young university reflects this early instinct of brigham youngartered it back in 1875. provo's identity is kind of inextricably linked with these educational institutions. there's no question about that. the fact that 30,000-plus students coming through the institution now, it's unquestionably shaped the way provo has developed over time. part of this is in terms of demographics as well. the county we're in right now, utah county, over 80% latter-day saint. the county to the north, utah county, or salt lake county, rather, nowhere near that. salt lake city pretty even between latter-day saints and non-latter-day saints. utah as a state somewhere in the mid-60s percentile in terms of its mormon population. so this is an dense mormon demographic center both inside and outside the kind of provo area. this is referred to as happy valley. and it's lovingly so by mormons who know this is a very culturally mormon place and maybe a little bit more critically by folk who is come and can't for the life of them find a bar or have a very difficult time findi

and so, in a way, even the modern brigham young university reflects this early instinct of brigham younghartered it back in 1875. provo's identity is inextricably linked with these educational institutions. there is no question about that. the fact that 30,000-plus students coming through the institution now -- i mean, it's unquestionably shaped the way provo has developed over time. part of this is in terms of demographics as well. the county we are in right now, utah county, over 80% latter day saint. the county just to the north, utah county -- or salt lake county, rather, nowhere near that. salt lake city, pretty even between latter day saints and non-latter day saints. utah as a state, somewhere in the mid 60s percentile in terms of mormon population. so this is an unusually dense mart mormon demographic center. both inside and outside the kind of provo area, this is referred to as happy valley. and it's lovingly so by mormons who know this is a very culturally mormon place. and maybe a little bit more critically by folks who come and can't for the life of them find a bar or have a

which is important to young people. and that made them realize what a youth organization should actually mean to them. martin shorts for instance supported my bid for the executive. at the national youth organization convention in a sample can. also emphasize this point. may not be a red carpet but you can see they would all welcome it if it works out with my bed . that. the youth organization was back on they hope to form a bulwark against a grand coalition but many in the party don't like the idea they're marching toward the grand coalition is that also how you sad. right now we're in a tricky situation now that angle america has failed to form the three way coalition and the free democrats christiane lindsey quit to the talks the situation is pretty difficult. and of course the s.p.d. is available for discussions with the various actors in the constitutional institutions as the german president suggested that when they you know thought in isolation take a very clear position and in my personal opinion a new edition o

we love talking to the young people because we know their minds are still shape. sometimes they get older and don't want to change their way but they listen and absorb the information and so we just enjoy talking to people because of it and know that they are our future but it's also about trying to make a difference in your community. a lot of people want to help the foundation and loved the support but again the need to basically work in their own community so they can try to make a difference in their community whether it be a nonprofit organization so they can do to makcould makea difference in thn community. >> host: you have been so generous with your time today and your thoughts in the story. in closing, what should the families out there watching today, what should they learnedn from the lesson of your family and the story that you share? >> guest: one of the takeaways is as a family coming to me to come togetheneed tocome togethed with adversity and learn how to navigate. it's very therapeutic and informative. we tell the story how he isn't perfect and so
