Real focus of my question. very quick, then. very quick response. thats an important distinction, right? whos using it. so while the other caller is mentioning and trying to point fingers at us instead of looking at the leaders of our nations or the leaders of local jurisdictions, hes looking at everyday people trying to discredit their work, that is very disappointing and disturbing. pointing the fingers in the wrong direction. duwayne, a very quick response, then. blessing says his actual ques...

Ok, thanks. lets go now to singapore to carma elliott for her question. carma, what do you want to ask our two panellists? thank you, zeinab. i would to ask the panelists - how and why is black lives matter relevant to our global community, for example in southeast asia, . as we now start to see asian hate attacks? i is black lives matter a us/uk issue? duwayne brooks, how would you answer that? well, as i said, black is deemed anyone with non—white skin, but the slogan, which is a political o...

My question to the panelists is, how do you respond - to statements like i "all lives matter?" thats the typical response when we mention black lives matter- in australia. opal tometi, all lives matter at the end of the day, dont they? well, i certainly believe that all lives matter, and that is exactly why myself and the two other co—founders of black lives matter created black lives matter. we wanted to be very honest about what we were seeing in our society, in our communities, day in, day ...

Let me ask you very quickly, opal, because on social media, we had so many people asking us if its possible for there to be a stronger alliance between blm and stop asian hate, because we have seen some really horrific attacks on people of east asian origin in the united states because theyre being blamed for covid—i9, you know, kung flu and that kind of comment weve heard. you know what? white supremacy is the shared enemy that we all have, and i believe that black lives matter and folks who ...

25 million for dorothy perkins, burton and wallis, 55 million for debenhams. but that is the brands only. no shops and no shop workers, meaning massive savings. but virtual sales come with their own very real costs. when people dont try on clothes and they buy poorly fitting clothes, that leads to really high rates of returns. thats very, very costly for retailers. the whole deliveries are costly. alongside that, theres going to be more investment needed. so theyre going to have to, theres going...
