There well as you hearing in the news that students across the United States have walked out of their classrooms to demand tighter gun safety laws across the nation they staged a 70 minute protest to represent the 17 people who were killed in the Florida school shooting exactly a month ago these students in Washington have been explaining why they took pot actually I don't see why average American citizens have a ar 15 rifle was a military style weapon on the streets like no normal citizen should have that we were just having guys as just to have a use for whatever they want we can come 'd in Kuwait about are we going to be the next mug I love was going to be the next month or not Banzai way so we had to come out and that I was here. As a freelance journalist based in the San Francisco Bay Area Hi there Julia Yes well what exactly has been happening in your area today. Well quite a bit a lot of what you were hearing just a minute ago a lot of walk out higher and higher and the jokes for those who were killed last month and for and. All our discussion about where that's where these gun laws that where this gun control debate is going what did the students say to us when you spoke to the. Well the students I spoke to some of them said they did not want to partake in the. In the protest themselves because they want to get in trouble with their parents but I also know other parents who are very supportive about there's students there are other children walking now and felt it was important for them to take a stand for something that they felt very strongly about is that has there been any comeback from the schools it's a little the students be punished or is this demonstration being allowed to go ahead. I am seeing mixed responses from different school districts around the Bay Area some school districts are very supportive of what the students are doing others are quite different over in a town not too far from Oakland there were students that actually were photographed breaking open locked gates to actually scape sort of speak to break free from the high school and go out and protest So there's definitely people on both ends of the spectrum in this issue even out here in California I'm interested to know have they been the any sort of opposing demagogues you know who was in favor of guns not that I've heard about not specifically I wouldn't be surprised if maybe a few people showed up but some may be in other parts of the state but to my awareness No no nothing specifically staged as a counter protest and what about the reaction from officials as well I mean can convey actually bring in statewide controls the guns or does the whole is have to come from from the White House and from Congress. Well lawmakers in California has been taking steps for over the years to implement their own gun a gun control a gun control laws excuse me whether it be background checks the age restrictions that sort of thing the same is also recently happened in Puerto and I think mostly in response to the school shooting there but the National Rifle Association has swiftly responded and the courts by. Alleging that that is unconstitutional so of course there's going to be some back and forth in the courts for a while I have imagine Absolutely and and and you experience and just add from your own post experience where do you think the the balance lies at the moment did you see people most people in America was then in your area are generally in favor of the the the The Great to cold for for greater con control well in California in general of course there are people who I know got owners personally in California but generally speaking getting a gun control law in California historically has never been much of an issue especially here in the Bay Area. Julie abound freelance journalist based in the San Francisco Bay Area thanks very much indeed for speaking to us they were up all night will love Violet Gilbert was one of the students who walked out of school today in protest for stricter gun laws and she's a high school student in the state of Illinois hello there Violet Hi Hi How did the walkout happen at your school how did people get involved. Well I know there was a committee that helped to like make posters and sort of advertise if you will and they sort of they reached out on social media and sort of instructed everyone on what to do and when they 1st got to school we had a late start so last it started at $940.00 and then students at $950.00 started chanting up and down the hallways to sort of call everyone out who wanted to protest and we all went outside so how many people were involved in all do you think. I really don't know hundreds of a lot of kids most of the school yes most of the school doc only I thought was interesting the woman before me was mentioning how there she didn't seem to know if there are any counter protests and by school there actually was a counter protest but it wasn't it wasn't many kids what's the strength of feeling to just describe the strength of feeling in tougher gun control. Well for me personally I feel strongly about it I tried I've been trying to do as much as I can in terms of activism towards subject mostly like say for schools and everything like that I wrote a letter to the superintendent of our district which I thought was a really great little thing that I could do to sort of get involved and then the demonstration I understand took about took 70 minutes and then everyone but went back to class today is that right yes yeah. Chanting throughout the throughout the protest Yeah we were chanting different things like about how we are or we are victims and we are students and we will make a change and why do you think it is that the the school the school shooting celibacy happened recently do you think that is why it's become such an issue for young people Yeah definitely because like seeing it happen so often is terrifying for us because that can happen to us any day really and being a high school student and that's where the peak of it is happening and it's really ridiculous that we should even have to worry about that but we do. What chance do you think you have of success here. What do you mean well actually Brit didn't have to be able to get tougher gun control. I think the magnitude of it all like all of the students that are involved there's so many kids across America that are like my age and even younger that are really just trying to make a difference and I think the amount of people the number of people really is going to make a change I think it really is possible that we can all make a change sic other and the area where you live in Chicago does have quite a lot of gun crime doesn't it particular in the in the south of Chicago Yes Yeah I mean how how Major does a gun crime have to be now before it makes the news in your area I don't know I just think it really stands out when it's at a school full of young people whose lives are ended before they have even even like started what about 2nd Amendment rights and that kind of thing that's what we hear all the time in the counter-arguments and like you said there was a council process to counter protest at your school today where do you stand on that the people have a right to bear arms in the United States it's part of the Constitution yes they do that is part of it has to share and. The group who organized it all there was also a girl who gave a speech and she did mention in her speech that we are not standing against 2nd Amendment rights we are standing to protect people's American citizens 2nd amendment rights however we are trying to recognize the lives that were lost and bring awareness to the fact that schools are not as safe as they should be and gun control should be better how is it possible though to actually do that with the 2nd Amendment being in place do you think. Well because I feel like 2nd Amendment rights should be taken away obviously but with the guns that are out there right now they can't that are committing these mass shootings that the people who can take the people who can take these huge guns and just kill so many people at one time I think those huge just like semi addict a semiautomatic rifle should not be allowed for sale what do what the politicians in your area think about this are they are they broadly in favor of your claims. I don't know what kind of Japan's like some are either here or there. She had me sort of contact with them and know how they feel no not really so when Where do you think the the protests will will go from here. Well I know that there's another one scheduled to happen soon I'm not sure exactly what I mean but I'm excited to see what will happen I'm hoping that an actual difference can be made and I think there's a really good chance of that actually happening thanks so much indeed for speaking to us here on file a global one of the students who walked out of school today in protest for stricter gun laws She's a high school student in Illinois. And she's 16 years old thanks very much indeed for speaking to us here on up all night Well tributes have been made throughout the last 24 hours for Stephen Hawking from around the world physicist and author died early yesterday at his home in Cambridge Not only was he of course one of the world's most brilliant scientists he also became a cultural icon Michaels is an animation director he directed episodes of The Simpsons in which Professor Hawking guest starred Hello there Pete. Earley doing very well thanks very well tell us more about how Stephen Hawking got involved in The Simpsons have how on earth did that come about.

To get the word out there to get more people involved in science and reading his books he was very much very savvy at media marketing as well I mean you know just by being a fan of the show and kind of.

And so that was the 1st episode he was he was a was it yes that was the 1st before he appeared on the show 4 times. Did you direct all of those particular episodes.
